And so, the days went by.
Lina Impeth had no idea how anxious Fangzheng was. She was still flirting with Gourry and Hades. Fangzheng was so angry that he cursed the Flame Dragon King and Hades for being a bunch of idiots. Why didn't they make a move earlier? It would have been better than wasting time here … Forget it, he had no other choice but to continue waiting.
But this did not mean that Fangzheng had nothing to do.
Fangzheng had obtained Rozval's territory, so naturally, he had also obtained Rozval's trouble — the Forest of Magical Beasts.
No one knew how many magical beasts there were in the Forest of Magical Beasts. In fact, no one dared to go deep into the Forest of Magical Beasts. Even Rozval's own mission was to guard the place and prevent the magical beasts from escaping the forest and going deep into the Lugnica Kingdom to cause damage.
But then again, the fact that the Forest of Magical Beasts was guarded by the chief court mage showed how dangerous it was.
But for Fangzheng, this was naturally not a problem.
"Welcome, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
Seeing that Fangzheng had come to the Adventurer's Guild, the lady behind the counter naturally stood up and greeted him with a smile. She then looked curiously behind Fangzheng.
"Why don't I see anyone else today?"
"They're all resting. I have something to do in the Guild today."
"What is it?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the lady behind the counter could not help but be curious. In the past, when Fangzheng appeared in the Adventurer's Guild, it was basically to choose missions for the priestesses. Of course, because Fangzheng did not register as an adventurer himself, he could not accept the missions here. Therefore, the lady behind the counter was a little curious when Fangzheng appeared here alone.
"I want to issue a commission. Are you willing to accept it?"
"Of course. Please come in."
The treatment of customers was naturally different from the treatment of adventurers. After hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, the lady behind the counter immediately led Fangzheng into the guest room inside.
"May I ask what Mr. Fangzheng wants to entrust?"
"It's very simple. I want to entrust you to clean up the magical beasts in the Forest of Magical Beasts."
"Forest of Magical Beasts …"
Hearing this, the receptionist frowned in confusion.
"The Forest of Magical Beasts.... That's the territory of the Kingdom of Luganica, right?"
"It's mine now."
"Eh?!"
Hearing this, the receptionist widened her eyes in surprise and hurriedly stood up.
"Could it be that you're the Lord now?"
"No, you're mistaken. I mean, Luganica gave me that piece of land, not granted it to me. From now on, it's my territory and has nothing to do with Luganica anymore."
"Eh eh eh!?"
At this time, the receptionist even screamed. This kind of thing was big news! Why didn't he know anything about it?
But on second thought, if what Fangzheng said was true, Luganica definitely wouldn't be willing to talk too much.
"Can we continue?"
"Of course, but Sir Fangzheng, the Forest of Magical Beasts is a long way from here. It'll take a long time even by carriage. I'm afraid most adventurers won't be willing to accept such a mission …."
"I have a way to create a large-scale teleportation gate that connects this place to the Magical Beast Forest.
"A large-scale teleportation gate?"
Hearing this, the receptionist stood up in surprise again. Of course she knew that Sir Fangzheng had remarkable abilities, but a large-scale teleportation gate that could connect people over a long distance? As long as this technology was revealed, almost every country on the continent would want to get their hands on it!
But this person only wanted to clear the Forest of Magical Beasts ….
"Any other questions?"
"No, that's all."
In the face of Fangzheng's inquiry, the receptionist hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Then she …. she didn't dare to sit down, lest she jumped up again.
"Then, it's my request."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out a map. Seeing this map, the receptionist's eyes widened in curiosity again.
Unlike the hand-drawn maps that the receptionist was familiar with, the map in front of her looked like a landscape painting. To put it simply, it was as if someone had drawn the entire Forest of Magical Beasts vividly from the sky. Although this made the receptionist quite curious, the many things that Fangzheng took out had more or less prepared her mentally.
"According to our preliminary investigation, the entire Forest of Magical Beasts is divided into five regions."
As he spoke, Fangzheng drew a circle on the map.
"The distribution of these regions is roughly like this. Among them, the first-level region has the lowest level of magical beasts, while the fifth-level region has the highest. There are also some places that require manual exploration. In short, I've marked these regions. Those mercenaries are free to choose which region to go to. As for the remuneration, it will be distributed according to the level. In the first-level region, a magical beast is worth 10 gold coins. Every increase in the region's level will increase by 10 gold coins. In other words, a magical beast in the fifth-level region is worth 50 gold coins. If there are additional rare enemies or gains, we can negotiate and calculate it separately. "
"That's a lot of money."
After listening to Fangzheng's explanation, the receptionist's expression turned solemn. The Forest of Magical Beasts was famous all over the world. There were tens of thousands of magical beasts inside. Even if the lowest price was 10 gold coins per magical beast, it would still be an astronomical figure. Right now, the receptionist was very glad that she didn't sit down, or else she would have stood up again in shock.
"Money is not a problem. A problem that can be solved with money is also not a problem."
Although there was no FBI in this world, Fangzheng had already set his eyes on Luganica.
Wouldn't it be a waste not to spend the money in the treasury?
Anyway, the gold coins didn't have any anti-counterfeiting marks or serial numbers.
"Then I'll leave the rest to you."
After Fangzheng's commission was released in the Adventurer's Guild, it immediately caused a stir. Because Fangzheng provided the long-distance teleportation magic array, adventurers could go out early in the morning to work, and then go straight home at night to drink and eat. Therefore, many adventurers accepted the commission. Not only the adventurers here, but even the adventurers nearby also came, trying to get a share of the profits.
After all, the remuneration was too generous. Even if they only went to kill the magical beasts in the lowest-level region, they could still make a lot of money. For the new adventurer teams, this was equivalent to the best time to release activities and update their equipment.
In the beginning, most of the new adventurers and low-level adventurers joined, and they were responsible for clearing the outer area of the forest. After the peripheral low-level magical beasts were basically safe, the powerful adventurers began to go deep into the forest, and began to hunt the magical beasts with their own abilities.
"I didn't expect you to solve the problem of the magical beast forest in this way."
Standing in front of the window, looking at the noisy adventurers in the distance, Beatrice's expression was incomparably complicated.
"I thought you would do it yourself."
"Of course I can. With just a sword, I can easily destroy the entire forest. Then what?"
Fangzheng threw a grape into his mouth and curled his lips.
"If you destroy the entire forest, how many years and how much will it take to replant it? How much money will it cost?"
"But now I think you've spent a lot of money."
"It doesn't matter. Money is to be spent."
Not to mention that the money spent was not his own.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then Lahm and Rem walked in.
"Lord Fangzheng, Lady Kursho Carlston of the Carlston Family requests to see you."
"Kursho? Who's that? "
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Fangzheng was taken aback, and Beatrice snorted softly.
"That's the young lady of the Carlston Family. The Carlston Family is a noble family of the Lugnica Kingdom. They're very prestigious, and that young lady is not someone to be trifled with."
Saying that, Beatrice turned around and returned to the library.
"It seems that you still have things to do. Then, Betty, I'll be leaving."
"Have a rest, you."
Waving his hand at Beatrice's back, Fangzheng yawned, and then looked at Lahm and Rem.
"Okay, let the young lady of the Carlston Family come in."
Not long after, Fangzheng saw the young lady named Kursho Carlston. She had long green hair and wore a man's uniform. She looked very heroic, and there was a long sword at her waist. She had a serious expression on her face, and one could tell at a glance that she was definitely a very strict person.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Fangzheng."
After seeing Fangzheng, Kursho also bowed solemnly.
"I'm Kursho Carlston of the Carlston Family. I'm here for an important matter."
"I thought so. I'm not close to the Lugnica Kingdom …. What business do you have with me? If you can, please make it short. "
"It's like this."
Faced with Fangzheng's response, Kurxiu didn't decline. He went straight to the point and stated his intentions.
"I heard that you're hiring adventurers to clear the Forest of Magical Beasts?"
"Yes. Is there a problem?"
"Of course not …."
Kursho shook his head.
"But I also heard that you used a mysterious method to detect the location of all the magical beasts in the Forest of Magical Beasts?"
"Something like that …. So?"
"I hope you can use this method to help me find a magical beast."
"No problem …. Is it in the Forest of Magical Beasts?"
"No."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Kursho shook his head.
"This magical beast's whereabouts are erratic, but it's a great enemy of mankind. We've been hoping to kill this magical beast, but we can't find it no matter what …."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng's interest was piqued.
"What's the name of the magical beast?"
Kursho gulped in response to Fangzheng's question. He raised his head and looked at Fangzheng.
"White Whale."
