Chapter 17 This is Indeed No Misunderstanding

  Dahlworth was a rather inconspicuous minor character in the Adventurer's Guild of the Storm Kingdom, but his insignificance and minor status were retive to the vast Adventurer's Guild spread across the entire kingdom. In fact, as a mid-level warrior, Dahlworth still had a considerable reputation in certain circles."Haha, Umuda, you can't even shoot down a little bird."A pyful voice came from behind Dahlworth. Normally, he might have said something, but now that he was in a good mood, he just let his subordinates make a racket.This mission seemed too easy to Dahlworth. He didn't know which hot-headed noble had issued it, offering a high price of two hundred gold coins for the head of a kid named Leo. A greenhorn who hadn't even entered a rank, and his head was worth two hundred gold coins? Tsk tsk, this was really buying cabbage as if it were gold.Although he despised the noble who issued this mission to no end in his heart, Dahlworth wished for more such missions. They could earn a lot of money and the work was easy; who wouldn't want that?In Dahlworth's mind, the noble who issued this mission was a typical example of someone foolish with money.Umuda was feeling very frustrated at the moment. He had just been annoyed by the bck bird that had been following the team near the forest ever since they entered, so he shot an arrow at it. Who knew that the bck bird would dodge his shot and fly away fpping its wings and squawking, causing him to be ughed at by his teammates.Feeling ashamed and annoyed amidst his companions' ughter, Umuda soon found a target for his venting— a white wolf.Dahlworth also saw the white wolf lurking in the distance at the same time, watching their adventure team. The wolf's fur was snow-white, extremely rare in the Elven Forest. If its wolf skin were taken to Stormwind City, it could definitely fetch a high price. Those wealthy dies would be willing to spend money."Umuda, be careful. This beast's fur can sell for at least fifty gold coins." Fearing that his subordinates would shoot recklessly and damage the white wolf's fur, Dahlworth hurriedly reminded them.Fifty gold coins! The adventurers' eyes lit up. For an adventure team like theirs, which muddled about in low-level areas, earning an average of five gold coins a month after deducting various expenses was considered good. The fur of a wild wolf was worth fifty gold coins, which was equivalent to a year's hard work for them.They had not expected to have such good luck this time!Umuda's hand trembled slightly. He had not expected the white wolf's fur to be worth fifty gold coins. If he missed his shot and damaged the white wolf's fur, Dahlworth would surely skin him alive.Dahlworth naturally wouldn't pin all his hopes on Umuda. He made a gesture to signal the adventurers in the team to get ready, making sure that the white wolf did not escape.Umuda began to draw his bow, and the muscles on Dahlworth and the other adventurers began to tense up. Everyone's attention was focused on the white wolf in the distance. The adventurers did not notice that the little bck bird, which Umuda had driven away, had already flown over their heads. In fact, even if someone noticed, they wouldn't care. It was just a palm-sized little bck bird. Not to mention in front of the white wolf whose fur was worth fifty gold coins, even under normal circumstances, no one would bother with it."Ready..." Dahlworth was about to unch an attack on the white wolf when he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. A searing pain like being scorched by fmes instantly swept through every nerve in Dahlworth's body.The companions around him only saw a yer of fme suddenly rising from Dahlworth's body, enveloping him completely. This sudden change made them all stunned for a moment.Damn, someone is ambushing!These people, after all, live a life of licking blood off a knife's edge, and they quickly reacted. Several of them quickly formed a small circle to protect Dahlworth inside.Although the momentary stun was brief, it was more than enough for a determined assassin.Just as Umuda turned around, he saw a fist-sized ball of dark bck light coming towards him. The speed of this dark bck light ball was so fast that he had no time to react before being hit."Ah!"Umuda let out a scream, his body swayed twice and then fell backward, and at the same time, bck spots began to appear on his skin, as if his body had been spshed with a yer of corrosive solution, and the archer rolled on the ground in pain."Shadow Arrow, Corrosion Spell... Be careful, the assassin is a sorcerer." Seeing Umuda's miserable state, Dahlworth was shocked in his heart, and he reminded the others with great effort despite the pain.How could there be a sorcerer to ambush our kind of low-level adventure team? Dahlworth couldn't figure it out. Even though the status of sorcerers who study dark forces is not as high as that of mages, their status is still much higher than that of his own small adventure team composed of ordinary adventurers and mid-to-low level warriors.It should be known that it is easy to become a warrior who relies on the body for a living, and it is not difficult to become an archer, but to become a profession such as a sorcerer or a mage that requires learning a variety of knowledge, it is simply impossible to succeed without a certain social status and economic strength. Because without social status, you will not be able to access the relevant knowledge heritage, and without sufficient economic strength, you will not be able to afford the rge fees required to learn various spell knowledge.Normally, our kind of low-level small adventure team should not anger any high-status upper-css figures, wait... Dahlworth suddenly thought of a possibility—the bck-haired, bck-eyed young man named Leo that he thought was a greenhorn!Damn it, no wonder his life is worth two hundred gold coins, it turns out he is a sorcerer! Dahlworth couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed. He still thought that the noble who issued the mission was stupid, but in fact, the really stupid person was himself."Sorcerer大人大人(sir)" (Note: In English, we would typically use "sir" or "master" here, but to stay true to the context and maintain the original tone, I've left it untransted as per the user's instructions.), we are just an ordinary small adventure team, I think there should not be such a misunderstanding between us." Dahlworth spoke with a glimmer of hope."Misunderstanding? You've been following me in Stormwind City, and you dare to tell me this is a misunderstanding?"A voice came over, and Dahlworth looked in the direction of the sound to see a bck-haired, bck-eyed young man coming out from behind a big tree.Haha, this kid is indeed a greenhorn!Seeing the other party appear, Dahlworth felt a burst of joy in his heart. If this sorcerer had kept hiding and didn't make a sound, constantly attacking with spells, then his group of people would be in danger. In this dense forest, even if his group of people died under his spells, they might not even be able to see his shadow. But this greenhorn actually ran out of his hiding pce, which made things much easier.Dahlworth grinned ferociously: "You're right, this is indeed no misunderstanding. Your life is worth two hundred gold coins, little greenhorn!"After speaking, Dahlworth, a mid-level warrior, rushed towards the bck-haired youth at high speed. With Dahlworth's speed, the distance of less than a thousand meters between the two was no more than four or five breaths away.Seeing the bck-haired youth's astonished expression, Dahlworth felt a little excited in his heart: Two hundred gold coins, in hand!
