Money is Everything 6

Both Johannes and Liliana came to the private that the Adventurer's Guild already prepared. Johannes put Vampiric Greatsword that was more than 2m down and his bags of golds, then sat on the sofa.

Sofa of this world can't be compared to Johannes's previous world but since all of these are made by high-quality materials, they're comfortable than wooden chairs or stone chairs.

"So...what is it that you want to talk about?" asked Johannes

Liliana hesitated but still open her mouth "Sir Slayer. Let's me introduce my self, my name is Liliana Hormunda, the only daughter of viscount Roken Hormunda and baroness Nevada Hormunda."

'Viscount? Then her pocket must pack with a lot of gold' thought Johannes

Although Johannes doesn't know how much she has, at least she should have a thousand gold coins as her pocket money. Well, although Johannes could earn thousands in a day, that is something that he could not do often, after selling loot drop from the 20th floor a few times their value will drop.

And if they knew that the Ogre's Heart that Johannes sold to them is only 1 silver coin...

But just as Johannes thinking he could scam her like scamming Adventurer's Guild to buy Ogre's Heart and other limbs and organs for a thousand golds, he felt ecstasy.

'Another money bag appears in front of me!'

"I have an offer for sir Slayer."

'Money!'

Johannes's eyes shine at her words. For a normal person, having heard her words about an offer is certainly anything about money. Of course, Johannes thought too.

'You wanna hire me as a bodyguard? Ok! give me thousands of gold coins monthly, I can guaranteed you safety for an entire month! Or do you me to kill someone? Just a hundred thousand gold coins, and I'll kill the king of this country for you! Safety or killing, what are you going to choose?'

Thought Johannes while smiling in his mind. There's no way someone gonna asks him from the other two things that Johannes thought. Why? Well, because he is The Slayer and the job of the Slayer is to kill.

But when Johannes still thinking about the money, the girl in front of him continues her words.

"I knew that someone as sir Slayer wouldn't care about money."

'...Huh?' Johannes's face stiffened

"From earlier, you earn more than a thousand gold coins and you didn't bat an eye or wasting any time to inspect the content inside already shows that you are a great man that see things more than just money and fame"

'HUH?!!' Johannes almost swear in Maya language.

'What the f*ck do you mean I don't care about money! The only thing I want the most is the f*cking money!! And what do you mean I don't even care to inspect the content inside?! I just f*cking knew that it's contained thousands of gold coins!'

Liliana closed her eyes and touch her chest without noticing Johannes's behavior.

"Just as told by the rumor. Sir Slayer, your one and only goal is to slay monsters, you're a man who would pursue neither money, honor nor fame. A great man who thinks of money as the fuel for his goal. A great man who could succeed in his goal, a great man who could leave traces and legend in history. For someone like you, I've got a great offer that you may not be able to refuse"

Johannes's face distorted in a weird angle 'Who the f*ck would want to slay sh*t! I just want some f*cking load of money!!'

"My town, Asgard, was infested by the newborn labyrinth. The information about this labyrinth is unknown, but several villagers that went inside never come out." Liliana said and continue "I know that sir Slayer wouldn't interested in money so I'll not offer you any money or a single copper coin, but I have this offer for you instead. An offer of being able to kill anything inside the labyrinth with being exempt from tax and kill restriction limit."

For the normal adventurer, they have the limit of how much they could kill in the labyrinth, although the labyrinth could respawn monsters infinitely, it still needs time. So for Rank 1 Adventurer, they'll be limit to a thousand kill limit per day, and the limit will increase ten-fold every rank. So rank 2 will have ten thousand kill limit, rank 3 is a hundred thousand.

But for someone normal, they couldn't even kill thousand of monsters in a day so this limit is almost nonexistent. But sometimes, there's someone special, someone, who could and can break this limit.

They're called in many names, Hero, Sage, Demon King, Slaughterer, Prodigy, Son of Heaven, etc.

And in those many names is The Slayer. The Slayer who could slay all monsters.

Another is tax, all adventurer that diving the labyrinth will be tax depending on their income. Adventurer's Guild could calculate their income from how much loot drop they sell to the guild, so sometimes they're some who would sell their loot drop in the black market.

Well, Adventurer's Guild has a way to find the adventurer who sells their loot drop in the black market, of course. As for someone like blacksmith or alchemist who wants to buy the labyrinth's loot, they need to go through Adventurer's Guild. The adventurer could give his loot drop to someone for free but they need to make the document that that loot drop is for donation.

Anyway, all of that is a pain for most adventurers.

But Johannes is special, except the income he earned from the loot drop, he could earn more by the Modifier 'Greed' so this tax thing is not something serious. Well, It's nothing serious if Johannes is having the habit of paying tax yearly.

'F*ck! You want to hire me as your exclusive town's adventurer and you aren't going to pay me any copper coin?!' Johannes almost burst out in angry but calming down quickly.

'Well, I don't really care about her money anyway since she looks like having no more than a few thousands gold coins'

Damn right.

'The things that I'm having an interest is kill limit since that's a pain in the arse'

The Adventurer card has something like a magical rune that could detect how much a person kills, even if Johannes makes a Modifier that makes the Adventurer card undetected about his kill but other adventurers can still suspect him.

And the Modifier 'Level Up' of his needs an enormous amount of monsters to level up each time since he's having high-level from all the kill these past days. If he wants to grow even stronger then he needs to dive even deeper to kill a stronger monster but this labyrinth's 20th floor is the end. So he needs to go to a new dungeon's town/city sooner or later.

'Also I need the money for upgrading Modifier 'Level Up' and not having to pay tax is a good way but not so much'

He could earn more even with paying tax so it doesn't matter.

'What I'm more interested in is the newborn dungeon, this Riverfall's dungeon could only offer an experience for beginner or mid-level adventurer, the loot drop has no value that much compared to other dungeons'

But what if the newborn labyrinth is a jackpot?

'Few villagers went in and never came back, normally, even if the entire party is wiped out there should be someone alive but if none of the villagers could come out, that means the monsters inside should be strong, stronger than this labyrinth's 1st floor'

His Modifier 'Greed' give more money the stronger the monster he defeated, and Riverfall's labyrinth's 1st floor can be defeated even with a group of normal villagers with no armor and weapons since Arundel is weak, but Asgard's labyrinth is the opposite. From the looks of Liliana, she's not someone stupid enough to sent unarmed villagers inside the newborn labyrinth.

'I should take a look at this dungeon if it's worth my time and money' thought Johannes.

"I can't say that I'll take your offer, but I can take a look at your labyrinth before deciding," said Johannes

"Thank you!!" smile blossom from Liliana's face

"We can go to your town right aw-, no, you must be tired from traveling. You should take a rest today"

Although Liliana said that she and Johannes could go to her town right away but Johannes still has her take a rest today.

'Sir Slayer is really kind...' thought Liliana with a smile thinking that Johannes cares about her.

'Well, I could finally steal a f*cking load of money from this place' thought Johannes with a grin.
