Returning to Xiongying Village.
Rennes immediately gathered the villagers and informed them of the news that the Windfire Demon Tiger lurking near the village had been slain by himself.
"That's great!"
"Long live Baron Rennes!"
Looking at the bloody giant tiger head in Rennes's hand, excitement appeared on the faces of all the villagers as they cheered loudly.
That's great!
This terrifying monster is finally dead.
From now on, everyone can live in peace without fear of monster attacks.
In an instant.
The anxious village has completely calmed down these past two days.
Peace has been restored to its former state.
The brewery can also operate smoothly.
Thanks to this incident.
Rennes's reputation within the territory has greatly increased.
It has even spread to the surrounding towns.
Of course.
That's a story for another time.
After announcing the successful extermination of the Windfire Demon Tiger, Rennes returned to the family estate with Fleurina and the others.
He was ready to give the previously agreed-upon reward to Fleurina and the others.
Since the target of this extermination mission was the Windfire Demon Tiger, which was stronger than expected, Rennes specifically increased the original reward by 40%.
"Thanks to the help of your Purple Magnolia Adventure Team this time! This is a token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Rennes handed a small box to Fleurina and the others, smiling as he spoke.
Opening the box.
Countless gold coins lay quietly inside.
Radiating a dazzling golden light.
It looks quite shocking.
"Thank you, Lord Rennes!"
Seeing such a generous reward for the mission, Freya and the others were filled with joy.
They quickly counted it.
However, they were a bit dumbfounded.
Because they found that there were more coins in the box than expected.
The originally agreed mission reward was five thousand gold coins.
But there were a full seven thousand gold coins inside.
"Lord Rennes, did you make a mistake?"
Freya asked Rennes with a puzzled expression on her face.
The other members of the Lilac Adventure Team were also the same.
"I didn't make a mistake! The actual situation of this mission is much more difficult than what I originally announced."
"This is the reward you deserve."
Rennes waved his hand and smiled.
"But..."
Freya wanted to say something more.
In her opinion,
Even though the difficulty of the mission has increased a lot, the contribution of their team is not as great as Rennes said.
After all,
The person who contributed the most to this mission was Rennes.
Whether it was discovering the Windfire Demon Tiger, devising the hunting plan, or the subsequent battles, Rennes was the main force.
They were just helping with support.
Receiving such a large reward, she felt unworthy.
"But there's nothing to be but about! There's no reason for me to take back the money I've given out."
"And without your help, it would be impossible for me to kill the Windfire Demon Tiger alone," Rennes interrupted Fleurina's words and spoke seriously.
After speaking, without waiting for Fleurina to refuse, Rennes left directly.
Seeing this, Fleurina and the others had no choice but to accept this unusually generous task.
Later, Rennes instructed the butler to arrange accommodation for Fleurina and the others.
He wanted them to rest well within the estate.
After all, everyone had suffered serious injuries during this expedition.
Especially Ada, the female shield warrior who acted as bait, had several broken bones and internal bleeding.
Even with the help of the healer Betty, it would take more than half a month for her to fully recover.
However, having just received so much money, Fleurina and the others felt embarrassed to continue accepting Rennes' kindness.
They simply freshened up in the estate and left directly.
...
After leaving the Habs Manor, the Lilac Adventure Team boarded a rented carriage and headed to the city of Cardia, 100 kilometers away.
That city was their permanent residence and also their home.
Their businesses were all located there.
"Baron Rennes is really generous," the huntress Lifa said, looking at the small box filled with gold coins in her hand, her face filled with delight.
As a small lover of wealth, she had no resistance to the glittering gold coins.
"He is indeed generous!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
They had been doing missions for so many years, but this was the first time they had encountered an employer who was so generous with money.
The mission took an unexpected turn and the difficulty increased.
Not every employer would make up the difference.
Even if they did, it would be at most a 10% increase on the original reward.
Unlike Rennes, who directly increased it by 40%.
The reward they received from this wave of missions was almost equivalent to what they had been busy with for half a year.
"That Baron Rennes is willing to give such a generous reward, he must be even wealthier himself!"
"Handsome, powerful, and wealthy, he's truly a perfect man! If only I could..."
At this point, the female hunter Lifa didn't know what she was thinking, and a hint of blush appeared on her pretty face.
"This little vixen is in heat!"
"We've been sisters for so many years, we promised to spend our lives together! Now Lifa wants to become a Baroness, she's truly a little traitor."
"That's right!"
Seeing Lifa's appearance, the other women couldn't help but tease her.
All kinds of provocative words kept coming out.
Lifa blushed.
Listening to the laughter and playfulness of her sisters.
On the side, the half-elf girl Flena couldn't help but think of the scene when Rennes saved her before.
That sense of security in his embrace made her feel intoxicated.
The unintentional intimate touch still made her blush and her heart race when she recalled it.
"I'm not falling for that guy, am I?"
Feeling her own unusual emotions, Flena's mind was in chaos as she absentmindedly looked in the direction of Eagle Village.
