Chapter 52 Dilemma

Just as Vanessa looked up and was about to find the source of the liquid, the knight closest to her rode to her and said, "Let's say it's raining?" The knight's tone was full of doubt.

"Can it rain in this ghost place?" Vanessa raised her eyebrows, "There is not even a cloud."

"But it's really raining." Another knight said. The others also said that he was right.

When Vanessa looked up and the bean-sized raindrops hit her face, she finally believed that it could rain in the dark world.

"etc."

Vanessa suddenly appeared. It was not water droplets that were knocked down from the sky, but the clear mucus with a weird smell.

"Mom, this is not rain at all!" A female knight was furious. "This is simply the corpse oil that was boiled from the corpse that had been soaked in the stinky ditch for a whole week!"

"But it seems to smell it carefully and it smells very fragrant." said a pastor.

"Or let's avoid it first, what's the matter?" Someone suggested.

Vanessa frowned, and the records of the known information about the underground world released by the Kingdom of Asia were passing by one in her heart.

"I get it!" Vanessa suddenly clapped her hands and screamed, with surprise in her voice.

"This is the fluorescent liquid! Specialties from the underground world, everyone should catch them quickly! The Asian Royal Court is purchasing this liquid, one gold coin per drop!"

Fluorescent fluid is a liquid secreted by fluorescent bacterial plants on the rock wall at the top of the underground world after they mature to rot. It has excellent effects on healing and restoring physical strength, and is also a good material for alchemists to make potions.

"Oh my God!"

"There are gold coins in the sky!"

"Click it!!!"

......

Everyone, including Vanessa, rushed out a container that could hold liquid and tried to catch the fluorescent liquid falling from the sky. Angry, a knight who had no container could hold, took off a piece of armor on his body and spread it out. After a while, a lot of liquid was received. The knights who used a kettle or jar around him learned to behave well when they saw it.

After only a few minutes, the fluorescent fluid stopped dripping. Vanessa gathered the fluorescent fluid collected by everyone and filled it with two large water capsules, which was worth at least one million gold coins. All the Kingdom of Asia wanted was information and maps of the underground world. As for the other gains of the mercenaries, the Kingdom of Asia would not collect them. This was also one of the means to inspire the powerful mercenary group to work hard for it.

"Now, even without the mission reward, we can live a comfortable life for a long time, and the equipment can be used with the best!" Vanessa sighed.

An unknown world certainly has many unknown dangers, but there are also many attractive opportunities, which is a good opportunity for wealth.

"Everyone, we have gained a lot this time. How about returning as soon as possible after we complete the 100-mile exploration specified in the mission?" Vanessa said with a smile.

"No, no!" A golden female knight quickly stopped him, "How long have we just entered the underground world? We have made so much money. Don't you want to make more?"

"But Anna, this time we are lucky and have great gains, but when we are not lucky, we will encounter great dangers. For example, the rock formations above may collapse and smash us to death at any time, let alone the dangerous creatures in it." Vanessa said. Compared to her subordinates who were blinded by gold coins, she obviously needs to consider more issues as a leader.

"Respond." Anna said, "We are a group of barbarians who can do nothing except war. We can only trade battles for our needs in life. On the battlefield, we may die at any time. How can we say there is no danger? Even if we have gained a lot this time, after we have consumed it, we are still mercenaries who are still going to the battlefield to face the god of death."

"Why don't we make enough money this time? Let's fight. Maybe after this time, we can all buy a big farm and live a noble life, and never have to wear this damn armor again. Every morning, a handsome young housekeeper and beautiful maid greet us and bring us delicious red wine and steak..."

Anna's words touched everyone's hearts. Not everyone is a combat madman. As a transferee who came out of the fortress, fighting is not their hobby or their destiny. It is just a job to eat. They also miss the warm bed, the beautiful opposite sex and the loving smile of their parents when they were young.

"What's more, the leader," said Anna. "If you want to find your master, it will also cost a lot, right?"

"Master..." Vanessa's eyes darkened and she didn't say anything to refuse.

Ordinary heroes and lords are an employment relationship. If the lord is dissatisfied with the hero, the contract can be terminated at any time. On the contrary, if the lord's behavior is too excessive or a major command mistake, the hero may suffer heavy losses, and the hero may defect. Because heroes often face dangers on the battlefield, some heroes who cherish their lives often run away to save their lives and will also terminate the contract with their employer.

Unreliable employment relationships naturally cannot meet the needs of many noble lords, so they often cultivate some heroes who are loyal to them. The loyal heroes will spare no effort to complete the tasks assigned by the lord, and sometimes they will be determined even if they know that they are endangering their lives. This type of hero has a deep bond between the lord, and the contract is just a form for them. Even if there is no contract, the relationship between the two parties will not change at all.

In fact, the die-hard hero is the mainstream and powerful combat power in this world. The wandering hero who lives by taking on tasks has limited resources and cannot afford the huge consumption required to improve himself and recruit troops. Only the die-hard hero can quickly form a strong combat power under the full training of his master.

For example, Chris is the loyal hero of the Kaige family. Youge and Vanessa are the loyal heroes of Chen Yu. During the Battle of the Kloro Kingdom's destruction, the troops led by Vanessa were confronting the enemy. Unexpectedly, the other directions collapsed directly and the king disappeared. Her persistence lost its meaning, so she became an exiled hero.

The Kingdom of Kroo was destroyed, but Chen Yu was not dead. Vanessa's greatest wish was to find the person she was loyal to. But without Chen Yu's financial support, Vanessa fully realized the hardships of exiled heroes - she even had a problem in maintaining her own troops. Without money, there would be no troops, and without troops, there would be no money. This is an unsolvable vicious cycle. Abandon the troops and search for Chen Yu's traces? This is even more impossible. Vanessa is not a fool. She knew very clearly that she could not find a drop of special water from the sea.

Now, a dilemma is facing Vanessa. Although moving forward may be dangerous, it may also be an opportunity. Good luck, get a lot of precious resources and a lot of money, and there is no worries. Bad luck, heavy losses or even annihilation are possible. What should I do? Go ahead or retreat?
