Chapter 180 - 180, City Lord and the person in the tomb (Extra update for Master Xiao\'s multitude of rewards.)!

The tavern owner served two beers and placed them in front of the pair. Curiously, she asked, “Are you interested in this story?”

Earlier, after inquiring about the tavern from the owner, he had noticed a new reward added to the notice board.

This amendment was not for bandit elimination or monster removal.

It was a reward for an expedition.

You wouldn’t have to fight, you could even bypass all enemies on the way.

The goal was to find clues about a certain graveyard.

Whether you find the location or related information, you would receive a reward from the mercenary group.

The tavern owner noticed Fang Hao shows interest in the reward, and decided to tell him a passed-down tale, The City Lord and The One in the Tomb.

Unfortunately, soldiers rushed in and interrupted the story just as it began. Once they left, Fang Hao quickly found the tavern owner to continue the tale. “I’m interested,” said Fang Hao, ready to hear the rest of the story. “Alright. In truth, the story’s authenticity is pretty low. A storyteller memorized it and that’s why it kept to today,” the tavern owner explained. “Mhm, just casually listening, no big deal,” Fang Hao replied.

The tavern owner tossed her cloth to the side, took a seat opposite to them, and began to tell the tale.

In simple terms, it was about a young city lord who was tall and handsome, admired by all women of the city.

One day, a peculiar woman arrived at the city, and the two quickly fell in love. The young city lord aged while the woman remained young.

One night, the woman was fatally attacked by the city lord’s enemy and died in the castle.

The city lord held a funeral and buried his family’s most precious treasures with her.

“Imagine, endless gold and jewels, all buried together with the city lord’s lover, buried in the mountains to the west,” the tavem owner teared up. “Those damn enemies, they broke up the lovers.”

“Cough, cough! Forget about the lovers, which mountains? Is there a map?” Fang Hao asked immediately after a sip of beer.

The tavern owner glanced sideways at him, realizing he wasn’t here for the story, but for the reward information.

“There isn’t a map, but it’s easy to find. If you have a map, I can show you,” she offered.

Fang Hao unfolded the map from the Book of Lords and displayed it to the tavern owner.

After being amazed by the map’s detail, the tavern owner pointed out a location west of Pruell City, “Approximately here. It’s very easy to find.”

“If it’s so easy to find and has a fixed location, then what’s there to discover?” Fang Hao queried.

The reward from the mercenaries was high, and with a rough location, he could find it himself.

There was no need for an announced reward.

Now, the whole city knew this group was searching for a grave.

“What you can consider, do you think the stingy mercenaries haven’t? Here lays a group of mountains, and the grave is rumored to be somewhere beneath one of them. You tell me if it’s easy to find,” the tavern owner retorted in annoyance.

Mercenaries were a group that licked blood from the blade’s edge, notorious not only for their greed but stinginess.

In the tavern, mercenaries often picked on seemingly honest patrons and conned them out of money using various reasons.

At night, they would secretly follow you, turning into robbers and robbing a few fat sheep by surprise.

Although mercenaries appeared to earn a legitimate living, they also risked their lives for money.

Attempting to take advantage of them was truly challenging.

“Has anyone attempted? Any dangers along the way?” Fang Hao questioned once again.

“A few people tried in the past couple of days. There are some wild creatures, but overall no danger. Everyone returned unsuccessful, claiming this reward was a trick,” the tavern owner thought for a moment before continuing.

All these events could be overheard by merely sitting in the tavern for a while. The tavern owner was merely repeating what she had heard to Fang Hao. “Alright, thanks for the story. If I manage to find the location and receive the reward, I’ll share a portion with you.”

“Haha! Well, thanks, young man!” The tavern owner laughed heartily, unable to take Fang Hao’s words seriously.

As for the tavern’s reward, there was no way to double-check its authenticity. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone created a fake, high bounty reward to fool those who made a living off of it.

After the claims of several teams, the tavern owner was quite confident this reward was fake.

She dismissed Fang Hao’s pledge.

“Alright then, I won’t bother you anymore.” She finished the beer in her glass, stood up, and bid farewell to a few people.

“Goodbye.”

After leaving Pruell City, the pair hopped onto the Giant Lizard and began heading back to their territory.

Thanks to the Lizard’s non-stop galloping, they returned to their realm around two or three in the afternoon.

Hearing noises, Eira, along with two maids, came out to meet them.

“Master, Anjia, you’re back. Are you hungry? Should we prepare some lunch?” At this time, Eira and the others had already had lunch, and Fang Hao and Anjia had eaten some food and drunk a couple of beers at the tavern.

They drank plenty of wind on the road, so not only were they not hungry, but they were also continuously belching.

“Eira, ask among the maids if anyone can do Math, or has any experience as a merchant.”

“Oh, oh.” Eira nodded and went to ask the maids.

Fang Hao headed straight to the bathroom, washed his head, and came out.

A white fox maid was standing outside the door, waiting.

“What’s up?” Fang Hao looked at the fox maiden.

“Master, sister Eira asked me to find you.” The fox maiden said softly.

“Sit down.” Fang Hao said.

The fox maiden didn’t sit down, but carefully stood to one side.

Fang Hao continued to ask, “What’s your name, can you do accounts?”

“Master, you can call me Little White. I can keep accounts. I used to be in charge of selling fur in the Foxmen Village.” The white fox spoke with her head down.

“Hmm.”

Fang Hao replied and started checking Little White’s attributes.

[Little White (Level 2)]

[Faction: Orc]

[Racial Traits: Living Creatures, Evasion, Alert.]

[Skills: Trader.]

[Innate Ability: Beginner’s Business Proficiency.]

[Living Creatures]: This unit can be healed, is affected by morale, emotions, etc., and is immune to the Bone Manipulation Technique and similar abilities.

[Evasion]: when running, long-range evasion increases by 20%.

[Trader]: Familiar with the merchandise trade, profits from business increase by 5%.

(Description: The fox men of the past relied on their “intelligence” and cunning, wandering between tribes, pushing carts, selling strange and useless junk.)

Fang Hao then checked other fox women’s properties, but only Little White possessed trader skills.

Now, the territory was short on manpower and undead heroes could not be arranged in human cities, so it was only possible for the fox woman to run the bought shop.

“I bought a shop in Pruell City, a human city. I’ll putyou in charge of it when the time comes.”
