Adventurers had always been lawless, but there were very few who didn't keep their promises.
This was because most adventurers needed to rely on their reputation to survive. Even in this relatively undeveloped world of information transmission, low-level adventurers would rarely violate some treaty rules.
For example, before the battle started, they suddenly requested to change the price on the contract!
Anna looked at the six people in front of her angrily.
The twenty White River Valley guards had already gathered behind her. Andre's face was red. If it wasn't for Anna stopping him, he would have rushed up and argued with these adventurers.
The other nine adventurers chose to watch from the sidelines — the Thorns team and the three solo players.
They seemed to follow the rules, but Anna knew that if she couldn't control the other team and compromised.
Then they would also ask for a higher price.
That was reasonable.
"We've already discussed it." Anna tried to use a calm tone to communicate with them.
"The contract has already been signed. If you break the contract, you will lose your reputation."
The troublemakers were from another team other than the Thorns team. This adventurer team had only risen in the past half a year, but they had a good reputation and completed many missions.
Anna was furious. At this critical moment, they actually changed their mind and asked for a higher reward!
And twice as much!
This was unimaginable. Low-level adventurers rarely did this. Anna wasn't stupid. She already felt that something was wrong.
At least this adventurer team didn't have a simple motive for accepting her employment.
They seemed to want to ruin this mission.
Anna read the meaning in the eyes of the leader of this adventurer team called [Mountain Cats].
"Is someone manipulating them from behind? Purposely letting them accept the mission? Then break the contract and affect our recovery of the White River Valley? "
Anna thought.
…
"Miss Anna, we, the Mountain Cats, are very trustworthy."
The leader of the Mountain Cats was a ranger. He had severe albinism and looked ugly, but his martial arts were very good.
This guy was called Verne, but everyone preferred to call him Cat Head.
He was the leader of the entire Lynx squad.
He narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "We don't have any objections to the previous contract."
"Then why are you breaking the contract now?" Anna asked coldly.
"Because we suddenly realized that the previous contract was very unreasonable!"
The cat head said neither too quickly nor too slowly, "I have a friend who sent me a message!"
"He said that there is a Warlock among the Gnolls in the White River Valley!"
"To deal with a Spell Caster, isn't it normal to double the mission reward? Ms. Anna? "
"So, I suggest that the previous contract be nullified and we sign a new one."
"Impossible!" cried Andrey angrily.
The cat head narrowed its eyes, and the atmosphere in the living room became very stiff.
…
But at this moment, the leader of the Thorns Thorns Party also spoke up.
"If there's a Spellcaster, it's common sense to draft a new contract."
"But I can't be sure if this information is true. That's why the Thorns Team isn't expressing their stance for now. "
"My only request is that if the reward for the Lynx mission is doubled, then the price for our squad needs to be doubled as well. That shouldn't be a problem, right? "
The other three solo adventurers also expressed the same opinion straightforwardly.
If the price of the Lynx mission was doubled, then their value naturally had to rise as well.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to pacify them.
Anna took a deep breath, and a trace of a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
In fact, when the Lynx squad asked for double the reward, although she was annoyed and angry, she wasn't surprised. This was because the Lord had already guessed all of this!
Ma Wen had already guessed that there would be adventurers who would use this opportunity to cause trouble!
The Lynx squad was a squad of the same level as the Thorns Party. If the Thorns Party accepted this mission because their leader's child was sick, then why did the Lynx, this newly rising and powerful team, accept this mission?
Since Ma Wen had considered this point, he of course made ample preparations.
Thinking of this, Anna suddenly said loudly:
"That's right! The group of Gnolls that occupied the White River Valley does have a Warlock! "
"And it's a Grade 2 Warlock!"
The members of the Lynx squad could not help but smile proudly.
Did this woman compromise? Cat's eyes were still squinting, and very few could tell what he was thinking from his expression.
"If that's the case, let's discuss the new contract?"
Cat said while laughing coldly in his heart: New contract? We didn't accept this mission for money.
In the process of discussing the new contract, they had to return to River Beach City and find someone to notarize it. This would take up a lot of time.
They would have completed the Lord's order, and would have gotten a large sum of money out of thin air.
Thinking of this, the smile in Cat's eyes became more obvious.
…
"New contract?"
Who knew that at this moment, Anna would laugh coldly: "Sorry, we're not going to sign a new contract."
"If the Lynx squad wants to break the contract, just pay the penalty fee."
What?
For the first time, the Lynx squad had a look of shock on their faces.
Her attitude was so unyielding?
Even the leader of the Thorns squad could not help but stand up and say: "Madam Anna, if there's a Warlock, the difficulty of the mission will greatly increase."
"I think we really need to discuss this again."
He did not want to cause trouble, but as the leader of a squad, he had to be responsible for the lives of his men.
As an experienced adventurer, he knew how troublesome spellcasters could be.
Even if the opponent was a Gnoll.
Anna explained: "It's like this. The leader of the Gnolls is indeed a Warlock. "
"But this Warlock, we've hired another expert to deal with him."
"The mission you accepted was to clean up the rest of the Gnolls!"
Another expert?
Cat's heart suddenly surged with a bad premonition.
This was beyond his expectations.
At this moment, a thin figure slowly walked in from outside the house.
He wore a thick mask and carried two blades.
"Sorry, I'm late," Ma Wen said in a low voice.
A mask with two blades!
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed!
…
Ma Wen stood there quietly, not saying a word, but there was a faint sense of a powerful deterrent!
The adventurers all had serious expressions.
They were all grade one, so they naturally knew how amazing the mask with two blades who could single-handedly destroy the Akron Mafia was.
The leader of the Akron Mafia was a real grade two expert.
Then he was involved in the Miller family's annihilation.
Everyone knew how difficult it was to kill someone in the wealthy district.
But this guy had done it unbelievably!
This mask with two blades had long become an influential figure in River Beach City.
Ma Wen did not say anything, but Anna said coldly: "The Warlock will be dealt with by Mr. Mask with two blades."
"You will deal with the rest of the Gnolls. Do you think there's a problem with this contract?"
Anna's tone was very aggressive, her eyes staring straight at Cat's head.
Everyone in the Bobcat Squad was speechless.
The excuse they had thought of was originally the best one.
But now, because of the appearance of the mask with two blades, everything was broken.
Cold sweat broke out on Cat's forehead as he thought hard.
…
"Someone is offering a high bounty for your head."
At this moment, one of the adventurers revealed a playful expression.
"You still dare to act with us?"
It was the Striker. He was especially strong and wore brass knuckles, looking extremely fierce.
His nickname was "Rock." It was not that his defense was good, but it was said that no matter how hard a rock was, he could shatter it with one punch.
"You can try."
Ma Wen did not only target him, but his gaze swept across the room.
Especially when he stayed with the Bobcat squad members for a while longer.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became extremely cold.
"In that case, the Thorns Squad has no objections." The leader of the Thorns Squad was the first to speak in a low voice. "We are not responsible for fighting spellcasters. The price on the contract is very fair."
He glanced at Ma Wen and said, "Also, we are not interested in your head. We just want to complete the mission normally."
"I have an objection!" Seeing that the Thorns Squad had expressed their stance, Cat's head could not sit still.
He sneered and said, "He can deal with a grade two Warlock? If he does not succeed, won't we all have to face a grade two Warlock? "
Striker Rock also revealed a malicious smile. "That's right. The Dual Blade Mask is very famous, but how strong is he?"
At this point, his tone suddenly changed. "Master Farne, why don't you let your people test him?"
"I heard that Mr. Green in your squad also uses blades. Why don't you let them compete and see if the strength of the Mask with two blades is really as strong as the rumors say?"
