Chapter 94 Hurry up and take off your shoes!
The two cargo wagons were made of thick hardwood and reinforced with iron hoops. The sides of the wagons had been converted into racks, on which hung the guild's sign and a black raven symbol.
Many adventurers gathered around, and four staff members were handling reception and sales; Ellie was one of them.
Seeing that Ellie seemed quite busy, Lin Er didn't disturb her and watched from the side.
Just then, Ellie glanced over and smiled when she saw Lin Er.
After a while, Ellie found someone else to take over her work, and she walked away from the crowd.
"Lord Lin'er, are you looking to purchase supplies? I can give you a detailed introduction."
Lin Er glanced at the bustling crowd and felt as if he were being treated differently. He couldn't help but say, "Isn't this against the rules?"
Ellie shook her head and replied, "I don't usually do these things; I'm just here to help."
Lin Er glanced at the sales staff again. Although they were a bit overwhelmed, they didn't seem to mind Ellie's sudden departure, which put Lin Er at ease.
"You have too many customers here, I'd like to wait a while."
Upon hearing this, Ellie immediately took out a list and handed it over.
"Lord Lin'er, this list shows the goods for this shipment. If there's anything you'd like, I can buy it for you."
Seeing this, Lin Er stopped being polite and took the list to glance at it.
[Your junior sister from the sect has provided you with a list of items from the internal treasury shop. You can purchase the corresponding items and tools according to the list. All items are priced in low-grade spirit stones.]
When he looked at the list again, the text on it changed. Although the format of the table had not changed, the products being sold were completely different from before.
Low-grade Qi Cultivation Pill: Half a spirit stone. Mid-grade Qi Cultivation Pill: One spirit stone. High-grade Qi Cultivation Pill: Three spirit stones.
[Low-grade Qi-Replenishing Pill: Moderately replenishes the spiritual energy consumed by a Qi Refiner during combat. Costs two spirit stones.]
[Ten catties of spirit rice: Contains trace amounts of spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to mortals. One spirit stone is required.]
[Lower-tier magical artifacts: Xuan Tie Sword: 20 spirit stones. Qing Mu Shield: 15 spirit stones. Huo Yun Dagger: 12 spirit stones]
[Spells: Fireball Jade Slip: Five Spirit Stones. Flying Sword Jade Slip: Five Spirit Stones — Heavenly Eye Technique, Object Control Technique, Quicksand Technique.]
The list was filled with a dazzling array of items, most of which were needed for the Qi Refining stage, leaving Lin Er overwhelmed.
Aside from lower-tier magic artifacts which he doesn't need for the time being, most other things are useful to him, but unfortunately he doesn't have enough spirit stones.
Lin Er looked through the selections, circled the top-grade Qi-cultivating pills, intending to buy twenty, and also chose the Heavenly Eye Technique.
Object manipulation and quicksand manipulation.
He calculated that he had less than fifteen spirit stones left, so he simply bought another twenty catties of spirit rice and four Qi-replenishing pills, keeping the remaining spirit stones for future use.
After Lin Er finalized the purchasing targets, he handed the list back to Ellie and said, "Just buy the things I've circled."
After a while, Lin Er finally received the purchased goods. They all looked like very ordinary items, and the total cost was less than one hundred Fang coins.
He immediately went to a secluded spot, consumed the spirit stones, and converted them all.
Just then, Butler Roslin came out of the lord's hut. She went to the Silver Bounty Office and suddenly asked Phoebe to gather the Silver-level adventurers at the outpost.
When Lin Er saw Phoebe come to his door, he quickly got up and went to Roslin's place.
Currently, only Kobas, the captain of the Firestone Mercenary Squad, is present at the bounty office. He is bandaged and appears to have recently been injured and has not yet fully recovered.
Roslin glanced at Cobass, her brow furrowed.
"Our intelligence unit was attacked. Their last message came back that the Raven Brigade squad, located ten kilometers west of the outpost, encountered five or six trolls at a farm. They are trapped inside the mill and are now in a very dangerous situation."
This is most likely a trap set by those cunning monster leaders; I cannot leave the stronghold for the time being. I need you to return to Blackrock City immediately and notify the guild to send reinforcements.
Ironflint Kobas's expression also turned serious. He said, "Even if I use all my strength, it will take me more than half an hour to get back to the guild. By the time I get there and back, the Raven Crow Brigade will probably have been eaten by the trolls."
Roseline turned to Lin Er and asked anxiously, "How fast is Flora getting back?"
"It'll take Flora half an hour to get back to Blackrock City." Linton paused, then asked, "Steward, are all these trolls tier three?"
Deacon Roseline shook her head and replied, "According to the intelligence we have, the trolls that attacked the Raven Brigade were all at the peak of the second tier, and we cannot rule out the possibility that there were even some at the third tier."
Lin Er thought for a moment and said, "If it's just the peak of the second tier, our team can go and rescue the Lin Ya Brigade."
Deacon Roslin was taken aback, then said in a deep voice, "You and Flora just broke through to the second tier, didn't you? This is no joke. Those might be five or six peak second-tier trolls!"
"I think our team can give it a try."
Roseline stared intently at Lin Er. She was unsure of the monster leader's location and couldn't act rashly, but seeing Lin Er's confident demeanor made her waver.
After all, if they don't rescue the Raven Brigade now, they'll really be eaten by the trolls, and then they won't be able to explain themselves to Baron Raven, Silver Shield, and other nobles.
"Are you really confident?"
"Butler, if we waste any more time now, they're really going to get eaten."
Upon hearing this, Roslin sighed, finally deciding to stop hesitating and saying, "The dwarf-made fireworks I gave you last time didn't work, did they?"
"Not used yet."
"Okay, go there and check immediately if there's a Tier 3 monster leader. If it's hiding there, light the fireworks right away. I'll be there soon."
Lin Er nodded and was about to leave when Roseline added, "This rescue mission has a total reward of 600 fang coins, including the silver reward. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, please ensure your own safety first."
[The sect elder has issued you a mission: rescue your fellow disciples trapped in the farmland. For each disciple successfully rescued, the reward is 15 low-grade spirit stones.]
Lin Er withdrew his gaze and turned to head towards the camp.
By this time, Keller and Talia had already fed the horses, and Flora had also gotten up, looking sleepy.
Lin Er ran over and shouted to Talia and Keller, "It's an urgent mission! Get ready to mount your horses!"
Upon hearing this, Talia and Keller realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly packed their equipment.
Lin Er then went to Flora, grabbed her hand, and urged, "Quick, take off your shoes!"
Flora stood there stunned for a moment, still not understanding what was going on.
Lin Er didn't have time to explain anymore. He picked Flora up and immediately took off her boots, revealing a pair of fair and delicate feet. Her ankles were slender and her feet were small and exquisite.
Her eyes widened, a strange light flashing in them.
