"We risk our lives for Lakeshire and this is all you offer?" Lu Li asked angrily. He was getting ready to beat up the old man, but Water Fairy held him back.
Of course, this was all an act.
Solomon was a friendly NPC, so he could not attack him if he wanted to. Even if he was able to, he wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"The limit on this quest is 15 gold; there's nothing I can do. The bonus 5 gold is coming out of my pocket," Solomon pleaded, then added, "I'm just the mayor of a small town, not some wealthy aristocrat."
He was telling the truth this time; Lakeshire barely had any natural resources in its surroundings. Even so, Solomon had managed to build up his town and provide peace and happiness to his people. He was definitely not a corrupt and greedy scumbag.
"Fine, what about the EXP?" Lu Li cared more about the EXP than the gold.
