"Of course, accompanying in this investigation is an additional adventure, so in terms of money, the intelligence agency will not be stingy, each person can receive a task reward of ten gold coins."
Montoya said as he took out a badge from his coat, featuring the unique emblem of the Soladin Kingdom—’Griffin-patterned Kite Shield, accompanied by Crossed Swords’.
Indicating his identity as an intelligence personnel of the Soladin Kingdom.
"The requirent is to join and clarify the situation below."
"Ten gold coins?"
At this point, Karg, the Half-Orc, who had recovered after being treated with Elise’s Healing Spell, widened his eyes and looked at the intelligence personnel Montoya.
"Really?"
"Yes, really." Montoya nodded slightly with a smile and a sowhat reserved deanor.
In his heart, although the silly Half-Orc wasn’t very useful, if there were any dangers below, using him as a punching bag could be beneficial.
"Count Karg in!"
Karg said imdiately, his voice deep and firm.
Previously, he had only completed White Porcelain Level tasks, with rewards often less than one gold coin.
This ti, the reward had increased tenfold. In his view, only a fool would refuse.
"Are there stronger Gray Dwarves down below?"
Wanderer Royce frowned, thought for a mont, then pointed at the scorched body of the Gray Dwarf Commander and asked.
He no longer doubted this intelligence personnel’s identity.
However, in his opinion, further investigation, as proposed, wouldn’t be so easy.
Seeing a Level 5 Gray Dwarf to this extent, money is good, but life is more important.
A suicidal mission, no matter how much money offered, Royce would surely decline.
Montoya from intelligence section nine looked around and said with a smile:
"Don’t worry, everyone. I have mastered Dwarven Language, and I can guarantee there won’t be more Gray Dwarves below."
"Although I haven’t continued to explore below, from eavesdropping on Gray Dwarf Warriors’ casual chat during patrols these past few days, this Thorne is indeed their Commander."
"Now that he has been killed by everyone, there should only be scattered Gray Dwarves below."
"If I’m not mistaken, the Gray Dwarves probably discovered a small Secret Silver Vein and other Companion Ore Veins around here, and controlled a large number of Kobolds for mining."
"And below, should be a foundry for slting Secret Silver Ingots, perhaps even for crafting equipnt."
Montoya knew this issue was also the focal concern of others’ minds.
If he could dispel this apprehension, he believed this Adventurer Squad would agree to continue exploring with him.
Thus, Montoya’s introduction was quite detailed.
Even at the end, he left an intriguing hook—Secret Silver Ingots.
"If that’s the case... this Gray Dwarf Commander has been killed by us... the rest are just scattering units."
"And the accumulated Secret Silver Ingots of the Gray Dwarves..."
Royce’s eyes glead; he got the point instantly.
"Bruno agrees as well, I want to wipe these Earthworms clean!" Dwarf Warrior Bruno raised his Warhamr, excitedly.
Others could see that Bruno was likely drawn by the Secret Silver Ingots.
It must be said, Montoya’s eloquence was excellent, painting the entire situation as safe, easy, and generously rewarding.
The majority of people would be tempted upon hearing it.
"This..." Mage Loren seed also interested.
A Mage is a big spender; money makes a Magic Lord, lack of money makes a Magic Loser.
Now, there’s such a lucrative opportunity, and if not seized...
However, thinking of Raine’s combat power, Loren couldn’t help but glance at Raine.
In Loren’s view, if Raine could join too, safety would be ensured, naturally making it much better.
Witnessing this scene, Montoya felt puzzled.
Why a Mage keeps looking at a Warrior?
Could this Horned Helt young man be the captain?
"Mr. Raine, what is your opinion?" Loren asked.
"Yes, what about the beautiful Priestess and Warrior?" Montoya followed up.
Upon hearing Loren’s question, Montoya basically inferred Raine might be the captain, imdiately smiled as he looked at Elise and Raine.
He was confident these two would surely agree.
"I’d rather not." Raine shook his head and said.
Admittedly, the reward was tempting, even for Raine.
But after the recent battle, his Spiritual Power was almost depleted, and Elise, who had been frequently using Healing Spell, was in a similar state.
Encountering another enemy with the sa level as the Gray Dwarf Commander would be quite challenging.
Besides, his purpose for this journey—the Adventurer’s Association assessnt task—had been completed.
Moreover, his current gains—’Rare Magic Weapon Warhamr’, ’Gray Dwarf Commander’s Waist Pouch’, etc.—were already sufficient for his satisfaction; continuing to venture was truly unnecessary.
In comparison, the ten gold coins’ reward wasn’t appealing to him.
As the saying goes, greed is insatiable.
Raine did not plan to proceed.
"I’ll follow Mr. Raine’s decision." Elise naturally unconditionally supported Raine’s decision.
"Is that so... Then that’s quite a pity."
Montoya was surprised to hear their refusal, but his main target was Mage Loren, so he didn’t feel particularly disappointed.
Because, in his view, Mage Loren was the principal force in this Adventurer Squad.
