Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 820 - 356: Employment Contract (Part 2)

Upon hearing Alka's words, Jilenna smiled, "How about I give you two options."

"Let's hear it."

"The first option, we directly hire your entire team, 40 Golden Sail for every day and night. We'll assign you patrol tasks like my soldiers, and you keep any spoils of war you gain."

This option is based on a fixed salary with low freedom.

Clearly, this option is highly unsuitable for people like them.

"The second option, we will give you a price list that categorizes demons by their prices. You just need to take them down and present the corresponding proof, then we pay you."

This is a mercenary option, but it's the more free kind, based on performance.

Upon hearing this, Alka thought for a moment.

"Let me see the price list."

Jilenna nodded and handed over a sheet of paper.

It seems this price list was prepared well in advance, not solely for Alka and his team.

The three leaned closer to examine it.

The paper clearly outlined the prices of various demons.

For instance, the weakest imps and demons of similar level, if taken down, reward between 5 to 10 Golden Sail each. The strength of such demons certainly won't exceed the Second Stage.

Ordinary soldiers find it difficult to deal with such demons, but for the touchers, with a little seriousness, they can take them down unharmed.

Slightly stronger low-level demons are generally below 50 Golden Sail.

These do not involve taking any spoils either.

According to the disassembly of materials from a low-level demon, their strength generally does not exceed the Third Stage.

The value is close to 100 Golden Sail, largely depending on the specific race of the demon and the rarity of materials on them.

Finally, converting their materials may even reach two to three hundred Golden Sail per demon.

Of course, this is under the condition of good luck.

The list has noted that a typical wandering group of demons usually has more than four imp-level demons.

One or two low-level demons.

Then, the highest prices are for the missions and commissions they provide.

Escort or annihilation.

Typically, there is a chance of encountering the kind of middle-tier demons like the ones Alka and his team faced previously.

The strength of these demons ranges from the Fourth to Fifth Stage.

Naturally, the payment is also very generous.

Starting at 2000 Golden Sail, the price varies according to the encountered danger and demon strength.

Additionally, they can exchange existing resources from the Land of Fragrance at normal market prices.

"A fair price, we'll choose the second option."

Alka nodded decisively.

Since they originally had two choices, with the first being unfeasible, naturally they would opt for the second.

Fighting is inevitable, and earning money is always a bonus.

"Great, let's sign the contract, the Holy Mother's contract." Jilenna said while handing them a contract.

Alka took a look; the terms were all standard, including confidentiality clauses.

Moreover, it was written quite formally, evidently reaffirming that they're not the only ones being hired.

Once confirmed to be fine, Alka signed his name.

"Alright, can you tell us about the situation here now?"

Jilenna nodded, "Currently, the main threats we encounter come from three aspects: the undead from the Life and Death Boundary, demons, and cultists along with their pirate maniacs."

"The undead from the Life and Death Boundary pose the greatest threat and occupy most of our troops. They attack because they sensed the resurgence of the Flower Fairy. Their lingering will drives them mad."

Speaking to this point, Jilenna looked at them and asked, "Do you know anything about the Sea of Moisture, I'm referring to a very ancient era."

Alka nodded.

"That's good, then you should know about the Life and Death Boundary. The deathly aura that forms there is primarily because a Giant Dragon related to the undead once perished there.

He was once an enemy of the Flower Fairy. After his death, the Divine's will was completely shattered, but the lingering resentment doesn't easily fade. That's the reason for their attack."

"As for the demons, they were all brought forth by those damned cultists. As soon as the Flower Fairy resurfaces, they'll be forced to leave.

Those cultists are simply maniacs wishing for world destruction and naturally wouldn't miss such opportunities; pure slaughter and sacrifice, or the evil gods they worship once had grudges with the Flower Fairy."

A brief recounting of the Flower Fairy's grudges with the three factions.

"Large-scale invasions and breaches of specific areas are orchestrated by strong cultists teamed with demons and undead from the Life and Death Boundary.

Under normal circumstances, the undead from the Life and Death Boundary would engage in fierce battles upon encountering demons, all lunatics."

"Are the undead from the Life and Death Boundary intelligent?" Alka asked, intrigued.

Jilenna nodded, "Yes, some of the powerful ones possess intelligence. However, these remain the minority."

"The Church's reinforcements are sufficient to help us hold the final line. They'll also deploy troops to clear out the demons behind us.

But given the vast area behind, we need to start making efforts too."

"What about the specific time for the Flower Fairy's resurgence?" Alka inquired.

This is a secret yet crucial piece of information they needed to know.

Jilenna looked at the three, then straightforwardly said, "Half a year still, half a year until the Flower Fairy can resurface."
