Chapter 43 The Evil Dragon's Sword Intent
The price of spirit-communicating coins has plummeted so much?
I remember that a single spirit-communicating coin could be sold for two hundred or even three hundred gold coins.
How long has it been?
It's only been two or three years at most, and spirit-communicating coins are this worthless now?
If a spirit-communicating coin can only sell for fifty gold coins, then five spirit-communicating coins can only be sold for 250 gold coins.
If a spirit-communicating coin can only sell for thirty gold coins, then five are only worth 150 gold coins.
150 gold coins, that's really not even enough to cover the teleportation fee...
Cross-nation teleportation... the fees are ridiculously high....
The teleportation fees are expensive, but that's somewhat acceptable, after all, maintaining and repairing the Teleportation Array every year requires a large investment of capital and materials...
Expensive, but normal.
"Senior Lance, everything Louis said is true, spirit-communicating coins really aren't as valuable as they used to be."
Spirit-communicating coins from Hell are good, but the only ones who really exchange spirit-communicating coins are aristocrats, those wealthy merchants in the Commerce Guild, and undead mages.
For Bounty Hunters, spirit-communicating coins are good stuff, but what they need more is ordinary gold coins or silver coins that can circulate in the Human World.
As for spirit-communicating coins, it is good to have one on hand as a spare, having more is useless.
Nowadays, with the money to purchase a spirit-communicating coin, you can hire two or three wealthy and licensed undead mages.
For those in urgent need of spirit-communicating coins, the price may fluctuate, but not by much, at most seventy gold coins.
Senior Lance must have not sold any spirit-communicating coins for a long time and doesn't know that the price has dropped. If he knew, with his character, the bounty wouldn't be just five spirit-communicating coins...
He would add a bit more.

Besides offering five spirit-communicating coins this time, the old gentleman's reward also includes a chance to communicate with the deceased, an additional reward that may attract some Bounty Hunters with regrets.
Bounty Hunters... who dares say they don't have any regrets?
During team missions with higher difficulty, it's common for teammates to sacrifice themselves...
If they could have a conversation with a deceased teammate, Bounty Hunters with regrets should be willing to take Senior Lance's bounty mission.
Even if the Bronze Guild doesn't have anyone, when the old gentleman's bounty mission spreads to the Bounty Guild Headquarters, it will surely attract the attention of some Bounty Hunters.
"I trust you guys, the reward amount is increased to fifteen spirit-communicating coins, and the chance to communicate with the deceased remains unchanged. If there are brave lads in the guild willing to take this bounty mission, I will give them an extra little gift."
"Old gentleman, isn't your little gift a newly developed potion by any chance?"
"Secret."
Considering that the young, hot-blooded, and brave lads of the Bronze Guild might be at risk of being bamboozled by a Necromancer, he was prepared to give two Sword Intent Scrolls sealed with the Evil Dragon Sword Intent to the guild lads as trump cards.
Necromancers are old monsters who have been alive for who knows how many years, their schemes, cunning, strength, and various sinister items should be able to completely outmatch those passionate young Bounty Hunters of the guild.
The Evil Dragon Sword Intent was something he comprehended himself.
He had once tried to turn the Sword Intent into a Sword Pill, but alas, he failed.
Latter, he settled for less and sealed the Evil Dragon Sword Intent into his special scrolls. When used, one just has to unfold the scroll or throw it, and the Evil Dragon Sword Intent would automatically release...
Huh?
He was about to give away two scrolls sealed with the Evil Dragon Sword Intent, so why bother increasing the bounty?
Just find a tool, give them a bit of hard work fee, wait till they reach the location, find the Necromancer hidden near Lionheart City and unfold the Evil Dragon Sword Intent Scroll...
The Necromancer won't even have a chance to resist and would be directly taken out by his Evil Dragon Sword Intent.
Why isn't he interested in going to the Human World to kill a Necromancer?
Apart from not wanting to bother with taking the Young Dragon he found out and about, another reason is that the Necromancer with a bounty from the Hell Grim Reaper isn't strong enough to interest him yet.
"Senior Lance, we'll take on your bounty mission."
Fifteen spirit-communicating coins, plus a chance to communicate with the deceased, fifteen spirit-communicating coins could be exchanged for five or six hundred gold coins.
Five to six hundred gold coins...
Two hundred gold coins for the teleportation fee, one hundred for daily expenses.
The remaining two to three hundred gold coins were the reward for this mission.
Split between four or three people, each person would end up with a few dozen gold coins.
A few dozen gold coins...enough for a month's spending, or a month and a half if you're thrifty...
Bounty hunters have larger expenses than ordinary people, a few dozen is half a year's or even a year's living expenses for the common folk.
As for the opportunity to communicate with the deceased...if the teammates don't need it, they could sell the chance to someone else.
If this bounty task were posted by someone else to the guild, with a reward of five to six hundred gold coins, they definitely wouldn't accept it.
The risk level of a necromancer is very high.
In order to truly become undead, necromancers perform many strange experiments, and to kill one without any loss, you need to overpower the necromancer.
This level of bounty task, plus being transnational, should have a reward around one thousand gold coins.
"Old man, if we can't complete your bounty task, or even get smashed by the necromancer, please add some money to hire some more capable bounty hunters to avenge us.
Of course, if the mysterious gift you're sending us can enhance our strength...then we're still confident in smashing the necromancer you put a bounty on.
If you could clearly tell us the strength level of that necromancer, our confidence in pulverizing it would be even greater."
There was another reason for taking on Senior Lance's bounty task.
Though Senior Lance loved to freeload, he indeed had many good things on him, and as long as the gift he sent this time was reliable, with his, Dalton's, and Bazel's strength...
Plus the mysterious gift from Senior Lance...
It might not be impossible to easily kill a necromancer of unknown strength.
"I didn't tell you the necromancer's level?"
"No."
"Death-level."
Even the Grim Reaper apprentices face the risk of death, so members of the Bounty Guild naturally would face the danger of death against that necromancer.
Louis, Bazel, and Dalton had decent strength, but they hadn't yet stepped into the ranks of the powerful.
Only those bounty hunters who dared to boast about smashing giant dragons or deities were truly strong.
"Ha...old man, if that's the case...then we'll just take five spirit-talking gold coins as payment. Keep the remaining ten for the next group of bounty hunters, so they can avenge us.
Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll get smashed by the necromancer...and you won't have the money to find powerful bounty hunters to take revenge for us."
"Makes sense..." Lance nodded, "Then the reward will be five spirit-talking gold coins for you."
"......"
Senior Lance, you heartless man, really hoping we get smashed by the necromancer...
"Old man, we've never been in love...haven't even held a girl's hand..."
"Grandpa Lance, don't listen to them, those three often hang out together in the red light district for big 'health treatments,' they've touched so many girls' hands..."
Rabbit-girl Meredith laughed as she exposed Louis' lie.
"....Meredith...is it true we've never been in love?"
"You've been divorced..."
"...."
"Louis, I'm giving you two Sword Intent Scrolls. When you find the necromancer, if you can't beat him, just open the Sword Intent Scroll towards the necromancer, this should ensure your safety.
If there's no chance to unfold the scroll, just throw the Sword Intent Scroll on the necromancer's head, then run for your lives..."
Sword...Sword Intent Scroll?
Sword Intent can be sealed in a scroll?
