1086 De Coran's Diary 4
Both the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild can issue bounties, and they are somewhat similar in function, except that the former is only for adventurers of the national profession, while the latter is for everyone.
In addition, the former also serves the country to a certain extent, as a national organization, the adventurer's guild bears certain government functions, such as solving the surrounding monsters and encroachments, etc., after all, the lord's power is limited, and the lord's private soldiers may not be suitable for these things, and there is no way to do things if they don't do it, and they also blackmail civilians, so the adventurer's guild appeared.
Adventurers are sometimes subject to compulsory conscription by the state (most compulsory conscriptions are not paid beforehand, and rewards are usually not paid afterwards, and the rewards are usually not money), and like soldiers and merchants, adventurers may also be rewarded with titles and territories if they have done enough work.
The latter is a mutual aid independent organization, even if the owner wants to issue a mission, he must first spend a lot of money to raise his mercenary level before issuing a mission, and it is impossible to obtain a knighthood and territory by completing the task in the mercenary guild.
Mercenaries don't know each other, they are all referred to by code names, the degree of freedom is higher, and there will be no forced recruitment, and the mercenary guild has no concept of factions, and mercenaries from different countries can cooperate and issue tasks. Of course, that also requires the Mercenary Guild's influence to be large enough, or to be on the border of the faction, otherwise the other factions will not be able to see the relevant tasks.
The adventurers came to the forest where De Coren was under the guidance of the mage apprentice, and De Coren gave the mage apprentice a simple whistle made of wood as a means of contact, but the mage apprentice definitely did not dare to use it in front of many adventurers, and he was different from those adventurers, he stayed with De Coren for two weeks, and it was certain that there was only one ogre, De Cologne, but he couldn't say it explicitly.
In his opinion, it would be no problem for so many adventurers to deal with an ogre leader, even if they couldn't kill the other party, to force De Colon back. Moreover, he De Coren has been in contact with him for so long, and he also knows that De Coren lacks common sense, and he is very curious, so many of them enter the forest, De Coren will definitely appear on his own.
Sure enough, not long after the group of adventurers entered the forest, De Colon appeared. Seeing so many people appear, De Coron also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know the intentions of these people, and he didn't think that these people who could shoot to death with a little force could pose any threat to themselves, plus his seasoning was running out, and he was in a hurry, so he rushed out in a hurry.
As soon as the two sides met, a battle broke out, and De Coren wanted to speak, but his pronunciation was not standard, and the mage apprentice deliberately taught the wrong one, so there was no way to communicate at all.
These more than 50 adventurers were carefully selected, and their strength was much stronger than the previous three, so they still caused a little damage to De Coron and caused some minor troubles. But that's all there is to it, De Colon is extremely talented, not only has a strong talent for spell casting, but also not much in terms of physical talent, and the little injury on his body heals in the blink of an eye, as if he had not been injured.
De Coron didn't have any friends or relatives so far, he had considered the mage apprentice a friend, he didn't understand what his race meant, and he didn't know what the two people he had killed before meant. That is to say, De Coren came out with good intentions, but he was attacked, which completely angered him.
De Coren defeated the adventurers, and in the process, De Coren tried to use his unstable but powerful spell, which did not cause great damage, but caused great chaos among the adventurers, and hastened the rout of the adventurers.
However, De Colon was still not used to using spells in battle after all, and the main means of hand-to-hand combat were used later. The mage apprentice blended in the crowd and wanted to flee after discovering that his side had suffered heavy casualties, but De Coren was an ogre after all, and once the ogre was provoked, he would lose most of his senses, although De Coren was slightly better, but he couldn't completely get rid of the racial defects, not to mention that he also felt that the mage apprentice had betrayed him, so he immediately chased after the mage apprentice.
De Coren said in his diary that he didn't think about killing the other party at that time, but just wanted to catch him and ask him clearly, but the enraged De Coren didn't take it seriously, and the mage apprentice killed the mage apprentice without beating. After killing the mage's apprentice, De Coran's mood was much soothed, he was no longer so angry, and his sanity returned, and he even regretted it a little.
De Coren, who had calmed down, had no intention of killing again, and he was in a hurry to search for the seasoning on the corpse, so he gave up the pursuit. However, most of the adventurers were killed by Decoron, and only thirteen escaped. But if De Colon didn't stop and kept pursuing, with his speed, none of these adventurers would want to run away.
The remnants of the adventurer's team immediately caused a huge stir when they returned, and this time there was no need to ask their superiors for instructions, and the local lord took the initiative to send an army to encircle and suppress Decoron.
Although the battle has not been long, the adventurer's guild can already roughly confirm that there are no other ogres. They thought that because if there were other ogres, even if the ogre leader did not call the other ogres during the battle, he should call the other ogres to come and round him up when he pursued them afterwards, because for the ogres, humans were their most delicious food, and they could not watch the food escape, but the ogre leader did not pursue, and there was only one explanation, that is, he was only one person, and those who had been killed by him were enough to satisfy his appetite.
It can be said that the Adventurer's Guild deduced the correct result with the wrong idea, although the process of inference was completely wrong, but the result was right. These people who escaped by chance were too flustered when they fled, and they didn't notice De Coran's last action of rummaging for seasoning, and even if they did, they thought that De Coren was picking fat and thin, and looking for that piece of meat to be delicious.
However, although there is only one ogre leader, the strength of this ogre leader is really too strong. According to the description of those who escaped, this ogre leader actually used spells, not those bloodline spells and inheritance spells that the ogre mastered, but regular spells.
This is easy to recognize, and it doesn't require much magical knowledge, because those bloodline spells and inheritance spells are basically quasi-spells, and although it takes some time to cast, most of them don't require chanting spells or constructing spellcasting gestures. And De Colon was imitated by the mage's apprentice, although he was only a half-ass, but the child's ability to imitate was the strongest, and the pronunciation of spells and spell casting gestures were imitated, but the effect of releasing it was not the same thing at all.
