"Is it the undead again?" Catherine's face changed, and she sat straighter. She looked at the orcs seriously and said, "The undead's activities have become a little frequent recently. I have encountered it three times in the past few months. You'd better tell me the situation in detail. We are very interested in going to take a look."

"He, let's talk." The orc led the lead pushed a strong muscle human beside him: "He is from the Adventurer Guild branch of our side, and came here to explain the situation together."

"Human?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that in the past few hundred years, many humans have gone there to live there and gradually integrated with the orcs. Although mutual marriage cannot produce offspring, after all, after living together for a long time, all factors of habitual personality are close to each other, so except for appearance, the rest of these humans are no different from orcs. Catherine smiled apologetically at him and asked, "Are you a member of the Adventurer Guild?"

"Yes, I am a staff member hired by the guild in the grassland, Serath." Although the strong humans were full of muscles, their strength was actually only Bronze level, so they were very awe of the golden level powerhouse in his eyes, and said respectfully: "At first, several tribes near them sent people in, but no one could come out alive. Later, they had no choice but to join them to the guild for help. In response to the situation there, we actually sent three missions. The first time was a ten-person black iron adventure group, which was destroyed and no one survived. For this reason, we raised the task requirements. The second time was a bronze adventure group, led by the leader of the silver level, but the last time was only a scout in the group, and it had been hit and collapsed.

We were unable to obtain information. We were originally going to ask for help from the headquarters at that time. But nearly a month ago, a single golden-level powerful man passed by. After hearing about this, he took the initiative to take on the task. Although the other party was not an adventurer, given her golden-level strength, we agreed to this request and let her go in and explore it by herself. In the end, this powerful man came out, but was injured a lot. She said that the strength of the undead inside was not too high, and she could still deal with it, but there were too many, so it was impossible for her to investigate in depth. Her words strengthened our determination to ask for help from the headquarters. So we came here after a month, but we didn't expect that the Adventurer Guild was on vacation."

"The early spring festival is a very important holiday," said Catherine: "But..."

"Wait." Panis suddenly interrupted Catherine's question: "What you just said was 'her'?"

"Hey." Catherine stared at Panis with her eyes squintedly: "It's important to do business."

"Well, okay, I was wrong." Panis decisively raised his hand and surrendered: "You keep going."

"Yes, it's her." Staff Celasis quickly answered Panis's question. He obviously understood Panis's thoughts: "He is a very young woman, but she looks ugly and we don't like it."

"Men, this is always the case." Lina raised her eyebrows and said in a look and tone she had never seen before: "I have seen through you long ago. She has a bloated body, a simple mind, a single mind, and a irritable and aggressive mind. She is most likely to become a beast under her instinctive control. For a creature like a man, only the most ignorant woman and the woman controlled by impulsiveness will turn her eyes to this stupid and humble creature."

Including Penis and Newman, the senior executive of the Adventurers Guild, all the men present looked at Lina with contempt with a terrifying look. Penis swallowed and asked tentatively: "Is this from... the new ancient book I bought?"

"Stop making trouble, talk about serious matters." Catherine coughed, interrupting Lina's lyricism and continued to ask: "Didn't you try hiring mercenaries before asking for help? If the mercenary group mobilizes large-scale troops, it should be easy to clean up there."

"They tried, but they could not afford to hire large-scale mercenaries. Mercenaries with more than 100,000 brigades will require at least 100,000 gold coins. Including supplies and daily necessities, it may cost more than 150,000 gold coins at a time. Several tribes can't afford this price." Staff Selass said with a wry smile: "That small mercenaries with hundreds of people can be hired, but that small mercenary group is much less powerful and has too big goals, which is not suitable for dealing with tireless undead spirits. Therefore, the mercenary union still recommends that they come to a team of adventurers with few members to take over the task. After all, the goal of the mission is not to clear the undead spirits, and it is impossible to completely clear the dead. The purpose of the mission is to investigate the reasons for the sudden movement of the undead spirits, and if possible, the cause will be removed."

"That's it, I understand the general situation." Catherine nodded and said, "The following is the most critical question. How much is the reward for the task? Let me first explain that the reward for the adventure team above the silver level is also very expensive. Especially for long-term tasks such as such a long-distance task, the loss on the road must be counted. In summary, it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins."

"We understand this, but our tribes do not have that much money." The orc, led by the orc, wrinkled in a ball of tiger patterns: "Can you use other ones instead?"

"Replace?" Catherine asked back, "What about?"

"For example, there are many enthusiastic and beautiful orc girls in our place..."

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Catherine glared at the tiger leader: "Do you even want to sell the tribe members in the tribe? Are you still orcs?"

"No, no, no, it's not sold." The leader of the tiger man waved his hand in panic and explained: "The person who solved this incident is the hero of our tribe, and he is worshipped by all the beautiful girls. In the future, as long as you come to our tribes, you can enjoy heroic treatment. There are also many beautiful unmarried orc girls who are willing to spend a wonderful night with the heroes."

"Give me a little bit the same," Catherine angrily said, "And most of us are women, okay?"

"Uh, strong men too..."

"Are you provoking?" Catherine asked with a blank expression on the hilt of the sword: "Can I understand this sentence as your insult to our adventure group? Or is it just a mere insult to me?"

"Shut up, you are in human society now, not on the grassland, you idiot." The old fox clan on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He covered his face and cursed in pain, and said apologetically to Catherine: "I'm sorry, they didn't mean to insult you. They just came out of a small place and didn't understand some of the rules and taboos of human society. It was not intentional. I hope you don't get used to it."

Catherine's face then eased a little, and she still had anger in her voice: "It's okay to replace gold coins with real objects, but it needs to be equivalent. Tell me what you are going to pay."

"We..." The leader of the tiger man felt aggrieved by Catherine's anger, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He could only say timidly: "I don't know what valuable things are in the tribe. Everyone bargains, and there are few merchants in the tribe. I really don't know how to tell whether it is valuable or not."

"You talk first, to solve this problem. Is your tribe willing to pay for everything?" Newman asked, "You don't know what's valuable, I know."

"Yes, we are willing to give everything." The leader of the tiger man said affirmatively: "Elder, please help us decide, you will definitely not harm us."

"It's really good at talking." Panis curled his lips: "It seems like we will definitely harm you."

"Stop making trouble." Catherine's anger had almost dissipated, and she turned around and glared at Panis.

"Since that's the case, then use that night bear skin to exchange it." Newman said: "I guess neither of you has any objections."

Night bear is a rare grassland bear. It only appears at night and has very strong strength. The fur of this creature has excellent breathability and amazing defense. It is used as a lining for scales or armor. It can completely increase the defense ability of the entire set of armor by one or two levels. Therefore, armor made of night bear skin can often be sold at an astonishing price, and its root cause lies in night bear skin. However, it is rare to sell night bear skin alone, because except for a very few masters, no one else can handle night bear skin well, so for the untreated night bear skin, the market positioning is very embarrassing.

"Night Bear Skin?" Catherine looked shaky and asked, "This price is indeed very good, but it may take a long time for us to sell a night Bear Skin that we have not processed before. There is even the possibility that we cannot sell it. If this happens, we will lose a lot."

"I can personally find a master of leather making," Newman thought for a while and added: "This will save you the risk of not being able to sell."

"That would be good." Katherine was very satisfied with the transaction. In fact, a piece of night bear skin had already made her very satisfied. After all, if an unprocessed piece of night bear skin was handed over to the auction house for operation, it could be sold at least 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins. Her previous hesitation was just a habitual price increase. But Newman's words made her happier. If the well-processed night bear skin auction was auctioned, it would not be impossible to be lucky to exceed 80,000: "Then..."

"No, you need the untreated night bear skin." Panis suddenly interrupted, "Are you sure it is the fur of a complete adult bear?"

"Of course it's certain." The tiger tribe said affirmatively: "It's definitely a complete adult bear. We saw the skinning process with our own eyes ten years ago."

"Tsk tsk, you haven't sold it for ten years." Panis mocked and continued to say to Newman: "We chose the untreated night bear skin, and you don't need to ask someone to deal with it. But in this way, in order to compensate for our losses, I need the horned eagle's horn. Remember, it is a horned eagle, not the kind of double-horned horned eagle, which requires five, and the teeth of the fog fox, and sixty."

"Those are you." Newman lowered his head and settled the accounts. The things Penis wanted were only more than 10,000 gold coins, and they were all specialties in the grassland. It would be cheaper to collect them on the grassland, which was much lower than finding someone to deal with night bear skin. After checking these, Newman nodded with satisfaction: "I have no objection here, but I don't know if your opinion can represent..."

"No problem." Although Catherine didn't know why Penis did this, she unconditionally supported her on the basis of not violating the principles: "His opinion is mine."
