Chapter 04: Marquis Jiayong

Previous Chapter

Jua Orez, the Blue Enchantress mercenary group.

As the most prestigious A-class mercenary group in the border area, the mercenary business of the Blue Enchantress has been very busy for months.

However, careful employers will still find that under the cover of busy business, there is a sense of anxiety among the mercenary group, especially the top management of the mercenary group has rarely appeared recently.

In the meeting hall of the mercenary group, the faceless high-level leaders such as Joan, Huey, Moral, and Aretha were all present, but the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy.

Arthur has been missing for nearly two months, and there is no information from the Star and Moon Guardian, and Arthur is now in a state of unknown life and death.

The first worries began with Aretha, who had witnessed the explosion and knew that Arthur had detonated the magic circle. At the center of that explosion was that none of the Martial Saints would survive, and Arthur's in the magic array was likely to be annihilated.

After two years of getting along, Aretha couldn't tell if she regarded Arthur as a relative or another Keynes?

Aretha's emotions also led to Arya and Joan and others, and the longer Arthur disappeared, the more unlikely the hope of surviving became, and the sadness passed on to each other.

Everyone gathered here today to discuss another matter, but as soon as they sat down, the atmosphere became heavy, and Arya's eyes began to redden.

"Don't act like you're going to give Arthur a memorial service, that kid won't die so easily. "Shino's mentality is relatively relaxed.

"I also think Arthur is fine, he still wants to accompany me to the Palace of the Bright Emperor. Joan also stood up to comfort everyone, but there was always a sense of lack of confidence in her voice.

"You people will only talk when it's critical, it's not a way for us to keep waiting, you can discuss the next thing, I'm going to the Star and Moon Guardian to ask this matter clearly. Aretha stood up and walked straight out the door.

Before Aretha could reach the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Arthur's head poked in, "It seems that the master is still thinking about me!"

"Where did you die all this time?" Aretha kicked out unexpectedly, and Arthur stepped into the room on one leg, and his whole body flew out like a cannonball.

Arthur naturally came from the depths of the East China Sea, and the sea clan outcasts who had been trapped in the deep sea for a long time could not resist the temptation of trade with the outside world, and the patriarch Sari accepted Arthur's invitation to cooperate, but he didn't realize that Arthur was completely in the name of the guardian of the stars and moon. The Star and Moon Guardian really can't look down on the value of such a small race.

Arthur was also invited by Patriarch Surrey to live on the island for a few days, where he discovered something interesting.

These Hai Clan outcasts no longer recognize themselves as Sea Clan, but call themselves Sea People, which is also an appropriate name. In addition, all the people of the Sea Human Race are soldiers, and each adult clan member can cultivate at least the strength of a warrior to the strength of a war captain, and can cultivate the martial arts and magic of both clans. Arthur even discovered a clansman with a talent for fire-based magic, which was almost impossible in a pure sea clan.

It just so happened that there were a lot of mid-level and low-level Terran martial arts and magic books in Arthur's bracelet, so they were simply taken out and left for the Sea Terrans. The things Arthur took out were a treasure to the isolated Sea People, and Patriarch Surrey took out a large amount of coral, crystal, and water magic materials accumulated in the clan and gave them back to Arthur.

The Sea People have accumulated a large number of sea treasures over the years, and these things are not of much value to them, but as long as they get each piece on the mainland, they can sell it for a large price. Arthur took out all the things in the bracelet that were useful to the Sea People, and exchanged them all for these sea treasures.

Arthur inadvertently opened another trade channel, and the things he exchanged for this trip to the Sea Race were almost worth half a year's worth of interracial trade.

The Sea People have charts of the nearby sea areas and a compass for finding their way on the sea, and after the two sides agree on the direction of cooperation in the next step, Arthur flies all the way back to the mainland.

It's just that he didn't expect to be kicked by Aretha when he entered the door.

"Woman, what a fickle woman!" Arthur stood up while rubbing his chest, Aretha's kick just now, although it was not small, did not carry any fighting spirit, so it was not even a minor injury.

Arthur had barely stood up when a figure pounced, and Arthur was thrown to the ground again.

This time it was Arya who knocked down Arthur, and Arya hugged Arthur directly and cried.

Arthur patted Arya's back, "Don't cry, being laughed at by others." ”

Arya realized that she was in the courtyard at this time, Elle and the Ten Princesses were all watching from the side in amazement, and Arya, who was blushing, got up and ran out directly.

Arthur slapped the dirt on his body a few times, and looked at the people around him with a smile, "Why are people so full today, did you guess that I was going to come back today?"

"We're all waiting to celebrate you!" Joan looked at Arthur with a smirk.

"Celebrate what?" Arthur was puzzled by Joan's expression.

"You'd better go inside and see for yourself. ”

As soon as Arthur entered the room, Morar smiled and handed over a delicate scroll.

Arthur couldn't help but curse when he unfolded the scroll, "Streich smit!"

The scroll in Arthur's hand was the edict of King Strach, who promoted Arthur to the Marquis of Jiayong, and his fief was three thousand miles east of the Great Rift Valley.

With Arthur's cleverness, he instantly guessed Streich's intention, which was to let him go to guard the border of the kingdom, his fiefdom was at the junction of the two field legions of Wind and Snow and Frost Thunder, and in the event of a war, it was just right to resist the first wave of attacks by the orcs.

"Congratulations to the Marquis of Jiayong, and the Marquis will give him a strong support in the future!" Moral gave a serious salute beside him.

Arthur frowned and ignored him.

Aretha answered beside her: "The chief chamberlain who came to reward arrived in Huaores a month ago, because he couldn't wait for you to put the king's edict in the mercenary group, and left a message to tell you that His Majesty Strachy hopes that the marquis will rush to the fiefdom as soon as possible and be careful to prevent the attack of the orcs." ”

"The orcs are planning to invade again?"

Aretha laughed, "Don't you know what you caused yourself? It was because you killed Eliot's youngest son in the Crater of Odds that the old lion was desperate to provoke war again." ”

Arthur finally understood at this moment why Streich pushed him forward to top the thunder.

"Before you come back, we were going to discuss how to deal with this matter, and now that you're back, it's up to you to decide whether to fight or escape, right?"

Arthur's gaze swept to Joan and Huey, and Golly was the only one in the crowd, "Time flies so fast, it's been eight years since the days when we broke into the orc wasteland, it's time to fight the orcs again!"

Huey and Joan's eyes all shone with fiery light......
