Chapter 18: Lionheart Fortress

The Warcraft Forest is located in the south-central part of the Continent of the Gods, covering an area of vast and boundless, the forest periphery is bordered by the Principality of Barak in the east, the Simon Prairie in the north, and the Watt Kingdom in the west. The periphery of the Warcraft Forest is basically the survival range of the first-level Warcraft to the fifth-level Warcraft, the central region is the sixth-level to eighth-level Warcraft infested range, and the depths of the forest are the territory of the ninth-level or even king-level Warcraft, and it is rumored that in the deepest part of the Warcraft Forest, there are even saint-level Warcraft and God-level Warcraft, but the rumors cannot be verified, because even if there are such an existence as the Sword God and the Law God, they dare not break into the deepest part of the Warcraft Forest at will. In peacetime and peacetime, adventurers or mercenaries often enter the Warcraft Forest to hunt Warcraft, tame Warcraft or plunder cubs to obtain high profit returns. The flesh, bones, blood, and core of the Demon Beast are of great use, so even if the mortality rate of entering the Demon Beast Forest is as high as 50%, it still can't stop the adventurers and mercenaries who are eager for profit.

"Wow, there's a fortress ahead, those walls are so high. Li Luoying sat in the carriage and looked at the Lionheart Fortress curiously.

"Alright, don't look around, let's go find a place to rest. ”

The guard at the gate of the fortress stopped the carriage,

"Stop, it costs ten silver coins to bring the carriage into the fortress. ”

"When I go, I still have to pay tolls, and it's so high. ”

"Because most of the people who come here are for hunting demonic beasts to obtain high profits, and the maintenance cost of the entire fortress is also a considerable expense, so they have to charge too high a road fee. ”

After listening to Aaron's explanation, Li Luoying casually threw a gold coin to the guards.

"No need to look for it. ”

The guards happily let them go, knowing that one gold coin is equivalent to a hundred silver coins, and the extra money can be used by the guards to spend themselves. However, for Li Luoying, a gold coin is already the smallest currency, so he doesn't care.

As soon as Li Luoying's carriage entered the city, a local came up and asked, "Aren't you two locals, do you need a villain to guide you?" The villain can provide all kinds of gossip at any time, and can also lead you into the periphery of the Warcraft Forest. ”

Li Luoying asked jokingly: "Oh?!Then your price is not low, right?"

"Hehe, it's not expensive, ten silver coins a day. ”

Aaron said, "Okay, come up, help us drive the carriage, and find a place to stay and eat." ”

"Okay, the villain's name is Fei Yang. Two guests can also call me Fat Sheep. The inn in the fortress has been almost full lately, do you want the two guests to rent a courtyard?" Fei Yang jumped into the carriage and asked.

Li Luoying smiled and said, "Fei Yang, fat sheep." Your name is kind of interesting. Then find a quiet courtyard. ”

The carriage, driven by Feuyan, began to move forward.

Aaron closed his eyes, leaned back on the carriage, and asked, "Feiyang, is there any gossip about the Lionheart Fortress lately?"

"Two guests, these gossip villains have also worked hard to find out, this fee-"

Li Luoying took out a bag and threw it to him, "A hundred gold coins here, even a month's expenses are more than half." ”

Fei Yang took the gold coin bag, weighed it, smiled with a smile on his face, and then began to say: "Recently, there have been a lot of unknown people in the Lionheart Fortress, so the inns in the fortress have been almost full recently. ”

"Why is that?" asked Li Luoying curiously.

"I heard that two days ago, a hundred-person mercenary group encountered an injured eighth-level demonic beast at the junction of the outer and intermediate areas of the Warcraft Forest, the Shadow Snow Wolf, the mercenary group originally wanted to pick up the cheap, but the whole group was wiped out under the bloody battle, but the scene of their battle was seen by other adventurers, and the adventurer drew a map and sold the news to the mercenary union, and now many people are buying maps in the mercenary union, hoping to catch the shadow snow wolf or kill it. By the way, I just have a map for the two of you. ”

Li Luoying took the map and studied it carefully.

The carriage came to a halt in a courtyard, and Aaron told Feyan to settle the carriage and send him to inquire about the identities of the unknown.

Entering the courtyard, Li Luoying opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, why are so many people so interested in an eighth-level demonic beast and want to capture or kill it alive?"

"For example, a sixth-level warrior can use fighting skills, a sixth-level magician can arrange a magic array, and once a demonic beast enters the sixth level, it will have a magic core and can release magic. A sixth-level demonic beast can fight against a seventh-level mage or warrior, and a powerful eighth-level demonic beast can even resist a magician or a great swordsman. Once you tame the eighth-level Warcraft and make a contract with the Warcraft, it is equivalent to obtaining a powerful bodyguard. Even if it can't be tamed, an eighth-level demonic beast is full of treasures all over its body, the magic core can be used to make magic staff or magic crystals, skin, bone and blood can be used to make alchemy items, and eating its meat can improve people's physique, and there are too many benefits. ”

"Then shall we also go to find the Shadow Snow Wolf tomorrow?" asked Li Luoying excitedly.

"Tomorrow there is tomorrow's trial, as for whether you can meet the shadow snow wolf, this kind of thing depends on luck, if you can meet it, you can try to tame it. Well, it's still early, let's go to the restaurant to have a meal, and by the way, take a look at the customs here. ”

With that, the two of them went out.

"Old man, this courtyard is in a good location, diagonally opposite is the Mercenary Guild and the Wizards Association, it seems that the market and the merchant house are also close to here, do we want to go shopping after dinner?"

"Okay, let's go over there and eat. Aaron nodded to a restaurant in the distance.

"Hmm?!Green Restaurant? ”

Aaron covered his face and shook his head, "You should really read more books and learn about the forces of the mainland, Green Restaurant is a chain in the whole continent, not only restaurant chains, even auction houses and trading houses have chains, behind it is the Lemuel family among the seven families of the Holy See of Light, the Lemuel family is one of the richest families in the pan-continent, and the chambers of commerce that can confront the Lemuel family are only the Danny Chamber of Commerce and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce." ”

Li Luoying stuck out her tongue mischievously, and smiled and helped Aaron's hand forward.

Green Chamber of Commerce Lionheart Fortress Branch

A person wearing a black robe and a can't see his true face under the robe and hat walks into the Green Chamber of Commerce.

The service staff of the comptoir immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

The black-robed man and the waiter looked at each other, and the waiter instantly fell into hypnosis, and a voice came into his mind like a dream, "Take me to see the steward of your firm." ”

The waiter nodded stupidly in agreement, turned around and led the black-robed man to the door of the steward's office room.

The black-robed man spoke again: "You are very tired now, go back to the position you were just now, you will forget everything you just saw, go." ”

The waiter turned and left.

"Squeak"

The black-robed man opened the door and stepped into the office room, and as soon as he entered the room, the door closed automatically, and he looked around a little, and began to walk inside, only to see a young man in his early thirties with full brown hair and bright clothes pruning potted plants.

The young man glanced at the black-robed man and said with a smile: "Don't be so careful, I have specially arranged a soundproof magic circle and a shielding magic circle in this room, and no one will know about the conversation between us." Say, what's the matter?"

The black-robed man sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said lightly: "We need the intelligence of that eighth-level demonic beast Shadow Snow Wolf, as well as the intelligence and power of other people who have swarmed because of the Shadow Snow Wolf. ”

"An eighth-level demonic beast doesn't need your dignified black hand leader to come over in person, right? ”

"That demonic beast, the Shadow Snow Wolf, is the companion of the Silver Moon Wolf King. ”

Hearing this, the young man suddenly stopped pruning, kept his eyes on the black-robed man, and asked, "Has the organization made a move against the Silver Moon Wolf King?"

"Otherwise, do you think we will come in person for the sake of an eighth-level demonic beast?" Although the plan was meticulous, we still underestimated the power of the Silver Moon Wolf King and ran away for the she-wolf. ”

"Okay, I know, the information will be delivered to you tonight at the earliest. ”

"That's hard work for you. ”

After speaking, the black-robed man got up and walked towards the door, but for some reason the hand that was about to open the door suddenly stopped, and then turned his back to the young man and said, "In addition to intelligence, it is best to help me study the hiding place of the Shadow Snow Wolf." ”

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

The young man sat at his desk, spread out a picture on the table, and thought carefully.
