Mashangs did not ask Wang Wen to compensate for the losses to the martial arts arena.
Not even mentioned it.
Instead, he very decisively gave him the C-level bounty [frontline support] in advance.
Interestingly, no one else objected.
Including non-compensation for losses and early reward.
No one even knows where the people who suddenly "disappeared" have gone.
The top student was carried away, and the double blow to his body and spirit made him laugh and play with his urine uncontrollably.
Wang Wen saw that he was pitiful, so he specially left the D-level bounty for him.
Mashangs solemnly stated that in this case, this D-level bounty will be kept forever until the top student recovers and accepts it.
It can also be regarded as a blessing from the association to him.
Therefore, when Wang Wen walked out of the Mages Association carrying ten gold coins, he couldn't help but sigh: There are still many good people in the world!
Seeing that the sun has arrived in the afternoon.
According to the direction indicated by Mashangs, the two bounties are located in the downstream area of the river outside the city. The flooded village is slightly closer, while the mine is further away. It takes more than an hour to take a carriage one way, and the round trip will definitely not be in time for dinner.
If you want to go fast, you can only go by airship.
Wang Wen came to the airship boarding point and asked about the price. Going to the flooded village cost 2 gold coins, but going to the mine only cost 10 silver coins.
He was puzzled as to why the distance was cheaper while the distance was more expensive.
The person in charge of the airship pointed at the Mages Association badge pinned to Wang Wen's chest, and said with a smile, "Magicians who go to flooded villages must be there to offer bounties. A bounty as high as a B-level bounty will of course be more expensive."
Wang Wen was shocked. "Boss, you really understand business!"
"Of course." The person in charge of the airship said proudly, "Are you leaving or not?"
Wang Wen thought for a while, took off Mages Association's badge and asked, "How much does it cost for an ordinary person to go there if he is not a magician?"
The person in charge of the airship glanced at him and said that it would be double that for ordinary people.
Wang Wen was shocked again. "Why is this?"
The person in charge of the airship said categorically that if a magician goes there, it is possible to escape alive, but if an ordinary person goes there, he will die, and it will be a waste if he does not make more money.
"..."
The words "eye-opening" are Wang Wen's most real feelings at this time.
After climbing towers for many years, this is the first time I have met such a conscientious businessman.
He summoned the aircraft to check the progress point of the person in charge of the airship, and found that it was only 0.0001. His mind wandered for a long time about mosquito legs and trouble.
Finally, he nodded and praised the person in charge, "Good luck!"
"Of course!" The person in charge of the airship didn't care whether he understood or not. As long as it was a compliment, he would respond proudly and then ask, "Are you leaving or not?"
Wang Wen hesitated.
Currently I only have 10 gold coins on hand.
It would be best if both bounties could be completed.
But in case the B-level bounty is too dangerous and hopeless, if there is only one C-level [Mine Fire Lizard], the total will only be 20 gold coins.
Once you pay for the airship, it won't be enough for the amount of tasks you contract.
He thought about it and had an idea.
He took out the soldier's certificate issued by the city lord's bodyguard and showed it to the person in charge of the airship. "In addition to being a magician and an ordinary person, I am also a soldier who is about to go to the front line. Is there any special treatment?"
This time, the face of the person in charge of the airship finally changed.
He took the soldier's certificate and read it carefully twice. When he handed it back, he bowed deeply and saluted, and said in a slightly serious tone, "Your courage is admirable. Please follow me, my respected warrior, to any place in the mainland."
Wang Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise, touched his enlistment certificate and asked, "Then I'd better go to flooded villages and mines. How much will it cost?"
The person in charge reached out to the airship and said, "There is no charge."
Wang Wen took a deep breath, raised his head and looked around.
Bow down in front of you and salute, respectfully guide the waiting people;
Someone behind you overheard, smiling and nodding;
This land, this small city, is showing him the weight of the word "frontline" in a unique way.
He touched the soldier's certificate in his hand and suddenly understood why the cat in the tavern took the initiative to treat him.
Maybe in its (her?) view, every more person on the front line brings a glimmer of hope.
hope of defeating the enemy.
Just as Wang Wen was feeling emotional and was about to get on the boat, a voice came from behind.
"Why are you still here?" The female magician who has been following Mashangs in the association has been a little timid since she saw Wang Wen's mental shock that destroyed people and walls. She asked cautiously from a few meters away, "Aren't you very anxious to offer a reward?"
When Wang Wen first saw the female magician, she was slightly startled, as if she was recalling who the person speaking opposite was.
Soon he became very happy and said to her happily, "You came just in time! What have you been busy with recently? Where are you planning to go?"
Female magician. "???"
She couldn't understand the logic of this sentence.
It doesn't fit in with the previous article, and the relationship between the two doesn't seem to be enough to discuss these topics.
However, in view of the mental shock, the female magician still reluctantly replied, "I plan to go..."
"Okay, okay, then what." Wang Wen just started casually, without any intention of waiting for the answer, and continued to talk to her, "Do you have any money in your pocket? I'll borrow some travel expenses and collect the bounty later, and I'll pay you back."
They say the easiest way to ruin a friendship is to ask for money.
What a coincidence.
There is no friendship at all between Wang Wen and the female magician.
So he asked to borrow it without any psychological burden.
The female magician was filled with psychological burden after hearing this. She was worried that if she refused, she would be blasted into powder.
In order to avoid repeating the situation that happened to the unlucky magician in the martial arts field before, the female magician tried her best to be careful and asked weakly, "Didn't the president just give you 10 gold coins not long ago? Don't get me wrong. I don't want to borrow it, I'm just a little curious."
Wang Wen patted the pocket containing the gold coins carelessly, and said calmly, "Don't worry about those details! I'll take the airship to the flooded village for 2 gold coins, and the mine for 10 silver coins. To avoid trouble, you can just lend me 3 gold coins to make up for it."
The female magician seemed to be a rich person. She didn't even blink when she took out three gold coins. She just asked in a cautious tone, "Can I follow you when you offer a reward? Don't get me wrong. I'm not worried that you won't pay back the money, I'm just a little curious..."
Wang Wen glanced at her legs suspiciously, thinking that you have long legs and I didn't stop you.
However, for the sake of three gold coins, he still waved his hand and agreed, "Let's go!"
Turn around.
Wang Wen put the gold coin in the hand of the person in charge of the airship and said with a smile, "It's free for the frontline soldiers. This is a very good idea. Please continue to keep it, but I can't let you run away in vain. You can pay as much as you want."
The person in charge of the airship had originally made up his mind to fly without making any money, but he didn't expect that things would change. He was caught off guard and smiled while holding the gold coins.
Seeing his stupid look, Wang Wen patiently taught him. "Did you see the female magician behind you? She came with me to see me offering a reward..."
"Understood! Understood!" The person in charge of the airship glanced at the appearance of the female magician, nodded as if he had some understanding, and said repeatedly, "One portion is enough. The beautiful lady will be with you, and I will not charge her any more money."
Wang Wen educated him angrily. "You know what the hell, I'm reminding you not to forget to collect her money!"
