Not long after he woke up, Hansen discovered that the heirloom on his body had disappeared.
No one was too surprised by this outcome. After all, they were lucky to survive the previous situation. Although it was a pity that they lost their money, there was nothing they could do about it. Moreover, the heirloom should have been taken away by that mysterious person who had appeared out of nowhere. That mysterious person had saved their lives, so there was nothing wrong with him taking away the heirloom.
Everyone present naturally understood this logic. However, after working so hard for so long, in the end, they had lost both their money and their lives. A feeling known as dejection began to spread quietly among the team.
Suddenly, Grimm exclaimed in surprise. The little Thief, who was responsible for inspecting Maria and Beck's corpses, found a bracelet on the female Assassin's body. Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be an exquisite bracelet.
"Magic device?" Hansen recognized the origin of the bracelet at a glance, and his spirit was immediately shaken.
However, a Tier 2 Swordsman wasn't an appraisal expert or a real Magician. It was already difficult for him to identify a Magic Device. As for its specific function and value, he couldn't tell.
In any case, the party had gained something from this expedition. They had avoided the embarrassment of returning empty-handed. Just based on the workmanship of this bracelet, it seemed to be better than Edward's ruined ring. The wrinkles on the old Thief's face smoothed out significantly.
The party rested at the bathing area for another night. The blonde Cleric had cleansed Hansen's body of the poison, and his wounds had scabbed over. Hansen's strength had mostly recovered. With this, everyone's safety in the Dungeon had greatly improved. With a Tier 2 professional in the party, anyone who had designs on them would have to think twice.
As the old Thief's injuries were more severe, it would take some time for him to recover. However, the party had no intention of wasting time here. Aside from Rob, no one knew about Raúl's death. It didn't feel good to be targeted by a Tier 2 Magician, especially now that they were in the open and the other party was in the dark. If a Magician cast aside his pride and launched an ambush, the threat would be too terrifying.
After a brief discussion, everyone agreed to leave this place as soon as possible. Hence, everyone worked together to make a stretcher. The next morning, the Elven Archer's twin attendants carried the old Thief.
Speaking of which, these two brothers were quite pitiful. They had met the wrong person. Their master had turned them into spies, leaving them dumbfounded. They had been hired in the town, so they didn't know much about Beck compared to the others. The Elven Archer had only hired them temporarily, so he definitely wouldn't tell them about his double identity.
Moreover, from the looks of it, Becker did not intend to remember their old friendship and wanted to kill the two brothers as well. Left with no other choice, the two brothers could only fight back. They had performed very bravely in the battle not long ago. They had rushed up to surround the female assassin, but they were quickly beaten black and blue, looking for their teeth on the ground.
However, their actions could be considered as a clear stand. At least for now, no one would make things difficult for them. Hansen promised to bring them back to the surface. Naturally, the two brothers were very grateful and took the initiative to carry the stretcher.
The journey back was daunting but not dangerous. Due to the unusually generous C-level commission from the Matthews family, and the fact that the number of powerful Magical Beasts on the first level of the Underground City had decreased for some unknown reason, the situation seemed to have quieted down. During this period, many adventure parties had appeared, and the situation had become more complicated.
Especially in the outer city, Rob's group had encountered no less than six adventure parties along the way. Fortunately, the opponents were relatively weak. Even if they had any ill intentions, they gave up on the idea after seeing their team configuration.
Later on, Edward's injuries had recovered to the point where he could walk. Though he still couldn't fight, it wasn't obvious from his appearance. Now, as long as the old bandit and Hansen were a total of two grade 2 professionals, it was enough to scare off most of the people with ulterior motives.
Moreover, during this period of time, most of the other adventure parties were focused on searching for the missing Matthews family exploration party. Teams like Hansen's group that didn't carry large loot were safer at this time.
Rob estimated that soon, someone would discover the words he left behind and find the corpses. However, it wouldn't be easy to bring the corpses back to the surface under the watchful eyes of so many people to exchange for rewards.
However, this matter had nothing to do with them. After a few days, Archmage and his group left the Dungeon and returned to the campsite.
Perhaps only those who had been to the Dungeon could truly understand how blissful it was to live in a civilized world. At least in this place, there were laws and morals, and the Adventurers Guild maintained order. The Brave didn't have to worry about their lives and guard against possible attacks at any time. They could finally relax their tense nerves.
In addition, everyone had been eating dry rations for a long time, and their mouths were already bland. This was especially true for the rookie Hero and his followers, who had been eating only black bread. The Archmage felt like his teeth were about to shatter, and his mouth was tasteless. If this continued, his taste buds would be completely ruined.
After finally leaving the Dungeon, everyone wanted to find a place to have a feast. However, the prices at the Adventurers Camp were too high, so they decided to return to Ryan first before eating.
Besides, everyone was most concerned about the rewards from the expedition. Hansen went to the Trading Point and spent a silver coin to appraise the Magician Bracelet.
The Adventurers Guild appraised the Magician Bracelet as a D Rank magical item, and it was estimated to be worth between 120 to 140 gold coins. When they received the appraisal results, they couldn't help but be delighted.
The price far exceeded their expectations, and it was comparable to a normal low-level Secret Treasure.
Hansen asked for everyone's opinion and decided to give 60% of the profits to the old scoundrel to make up for his losses in the expedition. With the addition of the portion that Lolo and her small attendant decided to give up, if they were lucky, Edward could still earn a few gold coins.
The team now had two choices. One was to sell the bracelet to the Adventurers Guild. The advantage was that they could get the money directly, but the disadvantage was that the money they received would be 10% lower than the estimated value. The other option was to place the bracelet on consignment at the Adventurers Guild. If they were lucky, the price might be more than 150 gold coins, and the Adventurers Guild would only take a 1% commission. Of course, this would take a long time, and they might only get the money after one to two months or even half a year.
Of course, if they weren't satisfied with either method, they could also look for a buyer. However, the corresponding risks had to be borne by the adventurer. If the buyer got greedy for the treasure, it was possible that they would kill the adventurer for the treasure. Oh, if the adventurer was prettier, they might even lose both the treasure and the woman.
Therefore, most adventurers were more willing to pay the commission and go through the regular trading channel.
Originally, because Lolo wanted to study at St. Roland's Brotherhood Academy of Magic, the Adventurers wanted to choose the first method by sacrificing a portion of the profits. However, after Lolo earned enough money to give up her share, the rest of them weren't in a hurry, so they naturally chose the other method.
