Chapter 9 Under the Wall

"Second update!"

"Is this your destination?" Lu Yuewu's expression rarely changed, showing obvious surprise. Is this the good thing you said that you have to rely on chance to meet?

"If this is not the case, how can it be my turn?" Leo adjusted the tie that bound the leather armor, stroked the rough shark bone sword hilt, and his heart calmed down a little. I'm just a five-level alchemist." He said.

In front of them is a slowly climbing ramp. At the end of the ramp, a gray and fat wall can be faintly seen. Under the gloomy sky, black mist kept rising behind the wall, as if it were a place where evil gathered.

Liou looked at it for a long time before he withdrew his sight and took a long breath. If he hadn't seen Lu Yuewu's swordsmanship, he wouldn't have had enough courage. Let's go." He said, "You can't return without success."

Lu Yuewu followed closely and pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword.

When they climb the slope. I saw a wooden hut under the moss wall, which was located next to the iron gate deep into the boulder. The door of the wooden house is as tightly closed as the iron gate.

"There are also people living here?" Lu Yuewu gently frowned, like a willow leaf's thin eyebrows, "It's hard to imagine that anyone can stand it. The surrounding breath can make people sick.

"This is the smell of rotten. After the gate is the former cemetery, and now the dumping field.

Li Ou couldn't help shivering when he saw Lu Yuewu. He suddenly wanted to laugh a little. It turned out that his guard's calm and cold face was also like an ordinary person.

He walked first and walked towards the wooden house.

Suddenly, Li Ou smelled a foul smell. It is stronger than the cemetery separated by a wall. It floated out of the wooden house as if it were the source of the smell.

Li Ou couldn't help coughing. Lu Yuewu, who followed him, also frowned more and more.

"Just stay outside." Leo whispered.

"No!" The girl refused, "My duty is to protect you, not to let you face danger alone."

"The wall blocks the danger."

"Can you guarantee it?" The girl insisted on her opinion, "No one knows what kind of person lives here."

Li Ou felt that his words of concern were counterproductive. And he couldn't find a way to convince him. All right." He sighed, held his breath and took a few steps forward, and then knocked on the door with his scabbard.

The wooden doors of different lengths make an empty sound. The wood has decayed and will break with a little force. Li Ou waited for a while and heard a scolding voice in the room, "Damn it, you bastards, I said don't bother me again! I don't have what you are looking for!" The wooden door was opened with a creak. A middle-aged man in a dirty red robe appeared at the door. His gray hair was messy on his shoulders, his eyes were empty, and his face was dissatisfied and angry.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man stared at Li Ou and Lu Yuewu warily, "I don't remember inviting you."

"Mike Jeriti?"

"Of course it's me, otherwise who would be willing to accompany the death of corruption?" Jerry looked at Leo, and his vigilant eyes suddenly relaxed a lot. He suddenly said, "You are not employees of the Nova Chamber of Commerce."

"I'm an alchemist." Li Ou took out his badge, "This lady is my guard."

"Aha, five-level alchemist. It turned out to be a colleague." Jerry cried in a strange tone.

"Is he also an alchemist?" Lu Yuewu was surprised * and whispered. She really couldn't connect the sloppy guy in front of her with an alchemist like Leo.

"In Ainblo, alchemists are everywhere." Li Ou answered quickly.

"Do you want to come in and sit for a while?" Having said that, Jeriti still occupied the door motionlessly and did not mean to avoid the invitation at all. Li Ou can still see the deep vigilance from his tired eyes.

"No, no." Leo hurriedly refused. He shuddered when he thought that the source of the suffocating stench was in the wooden house. He took out a piece of yellowed parchment from his arms, "The House of Creators posted this. Do you still need help now?"

"I knew it would be like this." Jeriti seemed to curse in a low voice as if to say to himself, "In addition to this five-month commission, will any other alchemists come to you?"

"Five months?"

"Did you know? Damn, what a hell. Have you just been promoted?" After receiving Leo's affirmative answer, Jerry laughed without hesitation, "I knew that only guys like you would respect the reward of ten Oren gold coins."

Li Ou was silent.

"You little guys are always so ambitious. I thought I could gain a foothold on Silver Maple Leaf Street by myself. As a result, you don't have to work hard to make a living. How do you know that the humble cemetery gatekeeper in your eyes also has 80 Oren gold coins in January?

"I earn a lot more than I do." Li Ou replied in a muffled voice.

Leo's answer was beyond Jerry's expectation. He looked up and down at Leo for a while before he continued to say, "You are much better than those self-righteous guys. My ten gold coins are worth it!"

Ten gold coins... Li Ou smiled bitterly in his heart. What can you do? Thank God for being able to maintain food and clothing for ten days. If he wants not to starve, he has to hope that he can find another commission suitable for him in the next ten days.

"Ten gold coins..." Li Ou has known from Jerry Ti's boasting or training that Geriti's monthly balance is at least 50 gold coins. He made up his mind to bargain with Jerry. The corpse dumping ground across the wall is a paradise for corpse-eating creatures. Ghouls, ghosts, bat-winged demons, and even spiny ghosts... They form groups. Risks and rewards are not directly proportional.

"Of course I know." Jerry leaned against the door frame, looked over Leo, and looked at the closed iron gate not far away. I'm the janjan here. Can I know if there are any guys in it? Every night, I listen to their calls and fall asleep. I can almost tell the number of them.

In this case, what else can you do for help? Li Ou slandered in his heart.

"You should open the door and look for the tomb."

"I don't know how to play with knives and guns." Jerry laughed loudly and said, "The ghoul is day and night. The bat-winged demon hides in the shadows. Little guy, you are so nervous that you have forgotten common sense. Go back quickly, if you don't want to go in and out like the guy before.

Is there anyone else?

Li Ou increased his vigilance, and Lu Yuewu beside him also listened.

"A kid like you steals chickens and dogs but can't do without their smugglers. The shadow moon mask walking in the shadows will... and many more." Jerry pointed to his eyes, "Nothing can escape my sight."

Leo originally thought that he had prepared enough for the danger he was about to face, but at this time he felt that it was still too bad. But he has no choice. Unless he and Lu Yuewu can play 100% of their strength when they are hungry.

He interrupted Jerry Ti's self-puted, "What do you need? Is it just those recorded in the power of attorney?"

The smell of death here is very useful for my research. I want to hire a mage who specializes in dark spells, but they obviously look down on me. Jerry shrugged his shoulders, "So... I urgently need ten ghoul brains, five death dust, and a bat-winged demon's wings. They all have to be freshly baked and steaming things. As you can see, they are behind me. He raised his thumb and pointed behind him. "What you have to do is just bring them out and hand them over to me."

It's easy to say.

Liou curled his lips and then made a request rudely. Twenty gold coins. He said, "You know, ghouls and bat-winged demons are as rare as gold in a stream at dusk, and ghosts only appear at night. The danger at night increases exponentially. If it's just ten gold coins, I promise that everyone except the homeless man who is hungry and has no strength will turn around and leave.

The smile on Jerry's face suddenly froze. He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, "Okay, I agree. But everything has to meet my requirements, otherwise I will cut your remuneration.

"This is your right." Leo said firmly.

"Well, come back to me in the evening and I will open the door for you." Jerich said with no good temper. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again and showed a cunning false smile, "How can there be a lack of ointment to deal with corpse-eating creatures? Do you need them? Sixty silver coins a bottle.

Da Damn it! This guy set a price that is exactly twice as expensive as on the market. Leo finally understood why he was willing to agree to his request so happily. If he had known, he would have asked for 50 gold coins! It should make him bleed!
