Chapter 7: Crow Ridge Cemetery

As if to confirm Piré's judgment, the tallest ghoul let out a piercing wail of a soul.

The food is provided by oneself. Tony and the others seized the opportunity to eat for free, stuffing their bellies with all their might. However, this young man only ate a piece of black bread and a few slices of sausage before stopping, probably not even reaching six-tenths full

"Get down, a horde of ghouls ahead, one hundred meters!" Pire let out a low growl, and everyone quickly crouched down, fearing detection

It is unfortunate; that ghoul may be a wise lord!

"Aren't you going to eat anything anymore?" Robinson's gaze slightly sharpened; this young man performed even better than Pire, who had been a mercenary for three years.

If not addressed, within five minutes, both pant legs will be crawling with disgusting insects

After a binge, not only does the body become sluggish, but the mind also tends to relax. Entering Crow Ridge at such a time is indeed somewhat dangerous

"When we return to Misty Town, I will treat you all to a grand meal." Robinson was very adept at managing relationships; he not only comforted everyone but also cast a grateful glance at Downton, which was also a means of winning favor.

Robinson looked at Downton, who was walking in second place, and suddenly felt a sense of admiration. Compared to the terrified Will, he was also nervous, but he was still able to remain calm.

"It is not a question, it is a purchase. That arrogant and self-important pharmacist, you all know this, don't you?" Downton bent down and rushed out to pick the ghost mushrooms

"Are you scared? The ghoul hasn't come out yet; otherwise, it would definitely scare you to death!" Tony mocked Will, deliberately trying to frighten him

A standard set of equipment, including weapons and armor, costs at least 500 gold coins. After deducting the daily maintenance expenses, there is hardly any copper left. Therefore, most mercenaries are quite poor and will certainly not miss the opportunity to indulge in a feast when it arises. Pire explained, that little bit of pride prevented him from wanting to leave others with an impression of incompetence

Strive and fight; not only can you have a beautiful maid, but you also have the chance to marry a princess!" Robinson laughed, "With this mission approaching, let's skip the drinks; I will treat you next time!

Even the most composed Pirre did not expect Downton to refuse, and that Keel was so envious that his eyes turned red, because as a slave, he received not even a single silver derlan each month

"Take a detour!" Robinson gestured for everyone to circumvent the ghoul horde by moving to the right.

No abnormalities!

"Come here, I will tell you." Downton waved at Will, then looked at Tony and raised a finger, "Stop with the provocation, for ten gold coins, I will tell you the answer."

Downton sat on a stone, took out the grimoire, and casually flipped through its pages. He did not enter a meditative state; rather, he was reading with a calm and tranquil mindset.

Tony squeezed a pimple on his face, wiped it on his thigh, snatched the sausage, took a bite, and commanded like an elder.

What else is there to think about, 15 gold coins, an ordinary apprentice only earns 3 in a month! Will was furious; if this high salary were placed in front of him, he would have pounced on it without a second thought.

The rising morning light cast its rays, illuminating the sharply defined facial contours of Downton, making him resemble a exquisite statue carved by the master Rodin.

Please pass me the butter

"What do you know? If you don't eat enough, where will you get the strength to fight?" Toru provocatively looked at Tang Dun, stuffing a large piece of sausage into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, making it impossible for him to chew, with bits of meat continuously falling out.

"Attention, a ghost mushroom has been spotted, at the 10 o'clock position, approximately fifty steps away!" Downton is a man of his word, so despite having obtained the valuable grimoire, he did not request to return home, but instead took the risk of entering Crow Ridge.

Pire, who was biting into the crust of the bread, frowned, glanced at Downton, set down the food, and picked up the Viking sword, carefully wiping it.

Let me think! If he had not obtained the grimoire, Downton would have agreed, but now he needs to reconsider the future development

"It is not a vision problem; it's so close that everyone can see it." Duren gazed at his friend's silhouette and smiled, "Have you all noticed? One-third of our gains are what he has seen."

It is essential; night is the time when the undead creatures are active. If we stay here overnight, we will surely die. " Pire walked at the front of the group and couldn't help but glance back, "Downton, why are you carrying so many things? Aren't you tired?

"Silence, pay attention to searching the ground, do not overlook the herbs!" Robinson lowered his voice and warned, "Be careful not to attract the undead creatures"

Weir and Duren also felt embarrassed to eat

The coachman and servant, Keer, was busy taking out a leather backpack from the luggage, opening it, and distributing the bread and sausages that had been prepared in advance to everyone

What are the tricks, could you share them?" Will's eyes sparkled.

Durham was also quite nervous, as the seven-member team had already spotted seventeen wandering ghouls. However, they were fortunate; thanks to Pire's experience, everyone had managed to avoid them early on

Weir felt ashamed and inferior, believing that he was vastly inferior to his peers at Downton. However, an hour after entering Crow Ridge, such thoughts were cast aside, leaving only panic and fear.

"Look at those scattered ghouls; if they were connected, they would form an arc." Downton gazed around, his expression grave, wishing that his conjecture was incorrect

When encountering the ghoul suddenly, Will was so frightened that he opened his mouth to scream. Fortunately, Downton was quick-witted and covered his mouth; otherwise, it would have definitely alerted the monster

Forget it, hetushucomcom, everyone has their own aspirations, but my shop will always be open for you Robinson concealed his displeasure on his face, and a wave of disdain surged in his heart, thinking that this ignorant youth would eventually learn the harshness of reality after suffering enough losses

Born into a poor family, Weil had never been served by anyone. As he watched Keer respectfully present the duck egg, he felt uneasy, and soon a look of envy appeared on his face

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to scare me to death!" Tony was furious

There are thirty-six ghouls ahead, among which one should be a minotaur, standing over two and a half meters tall

An unbearable stench lingered at the tip of the nose, the soil was soft, and the worms inside crawled about unperturbed, recklessly climbing onto the body.

Downton quickly eliminated the food, began the final organization of items, ensured that nothing was overlooked, and placed everything in convenient positions

If this young man were to become a mercenary, he would surely make a name for himself!" Pire looked at the bold and meticulous Danton with genuine admiration

This fellow will undoubtedly be very handsome in the future; with just that face, he will be able to charm many lonely noblewomen into his embrace

After walking for nearly an hour, even passing through an abandoned town, Will could not help but complain as he looked at the pitiful five herbs

There are too few herbs

"If you want to get rich, you must take risks. We are sure to find herbs that are a hundred years old, or even over a thousand years old. Each plant can be sold for several thousand gold coins." Robinson encouraged everyone, boosting morale while also alleviating stress, "Don't worry, we will return in the afternoon and will definitely leave Crow's Ridge before dark."

Others had not yet realized, but Piré glanced once and his face suddenly turned pale; his extensive experience told him that his side was being hunted.

"Are you foolish? They have told you how to earn commissions," Tony spat deliberately, trying to provoke and extract the secrets of Downton from www.hetushucomcom.

Do not be constrained, eat whatever you wish, let the servant fetch it! Robinson tied a napkin around his neck and began to eat with a knife, making every effort to imitate the manners of the upper class.

The previously wandering ghouls immediately became frenzied, charging towards the squad to encircle and attack them

"There are no abnormalities; after walking another 100 meters, we can accelerate." Pire's words eased everyone's mood considerably, but Downton suddenly interjected.

Robinson suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy; while Downton read, he was as quiet as an elegant poet. He knew that in the capital, a young man of his temperament was highly appealing to certain wealthy ladies with particular tastes.

Everyone was taken aback and looked towards the group of ghouls. They still had not noticed the team and were wandering about, becoming increasingly dispersed. From any angle, there seemed to be no danger.

You have really good eyesight!" Will expressed envy, and Robinson promised that in addition to a fixed commission, there would be an extra bonus for each herb found.

No wonder I saw you enter the potion shop yesterday afternoon; it turns out you were there to inquire about potion knowledge. Duren suddenly realized.

Durham and Will suddenly became eager, signaling to Downton with their eyes, urging him to agree immediately

The sky is filled with numerous black crows, incessantly cawing, which is exceedingly annoying.

"The kerosene lamp and five days' worth of food are nothing but a waste of your strength, with no necessity whatsoever." Tony finally found an opportunity to mock Downton, "Are you planning to camp at Crow Hill?"

Are you searching based on the growth characteristics of the ghost mushroom? They typically grow in damp, shady, and low-light areas Robinson slapped his forehead I apologize for not introducing you earlier

The cold wind blows, seemingly carrying the cries and wails of the departed souls, penetrating directly into the marrow, sending chills down one's spine

Robinson handed the plate to Keel, examining Downton with increasing satisfaction

No need, eating too much and reading books will affect our actions Downton shook his head, also subtly reminding these people that he did not want to act with a group of people with big bellies

No! Although Will denied it, his trembling voice still revealed his emotions

That is incorrect, there is a problem

"Hmph, what is there to value in someone who isn't even a mage?" Tony felt jealous; if Tang Dun nodded, it would surpass his salary by a considerable margin

What Robinson desired was precisely this effect. Seeing Will display an expression of excitement and longing, a satisfied smile crept across his lips, though he quickly concealed it. He prided himself on his ability to accurately gauge the psychology of others, enabling him to make them willingly devote themselves to his cause

Prepare for a rainy day! Downton speaks concisely

It is normal; there are quite a few people like us who come to gather herbs, so there is almost no harvest around the outskirts of Crow Ridge. However, everyone is afraid to enter the central area of the tomb, so if one wishes to strike it rich, one must go in. Tony licked his lips, hesitating.

This is a slightly slender fifteen-year-old boy, yet he appears spirited, with delicate features. He consistently keeps his lips tightly pressed, but an occasional smile reveals a refreshing charm.

Every minute, Pire reports on the status of the ghoul group. After ten minutes, everyone has curved around to the 2 o'clock position of the tallest ghoul, and they will soon be leaving.

Thank you, boss! Will was deeply moved, feeling that Robinson was his kindred spirit. He decided to work hard later and not let his boss down

He had long lost his previous calmness and wanted to leave; only by entering Crow Ridge could he experience the pervasive pressure of death.

Due to the previous encounters, everyone has gained experience, lowering their bodies, slowly shifting, and trying to remain quiet

"Fifteen gold coins every month, how about following me?" Once Downton returns, Robinson has made an offer; such talent must be secured as soon as possible.
