Chapter 14 Employment Requests
For high-level transcendents, especially demigods, it is actually quite difficult to offer a price that makes the other party's heart move.
Because at the level of a demigod, it can basically be said that there is no desire and no desire. Some may also care about the family and descendants from which they were born, but as they get older and their familiar juniors pass away one after another, the connection built on blood is gradually alienated.
Of course, this does not mean that demigods do not have the possibility of cooperating with each other. In fact, for a figure of their level, there's a weight that's perfect for putting on the table:
Gift.
You help me do one thing, and in the follow-up in order to repay your favor, I will also help you do one thing, which is a condition that demigods will generally take out to trade. After all, there was nothing else to convince the other demigod to help except to return the favor.
Of course, even more difficult than getting a demigod to owe a favor is that you need to have access to the demigod in the first place. If you can't even see each other, then your current level is not enough, and you don't need to say anything.
However, the Cyan Sword mercenary group is very proficient in this, as they have a very developed network of demigods for the first time. Even from very early on, Asker was known for his dealings with demigods.
Now that he himself is already a demigod, he is naturally even more handy in negotiations at this level. After a friendly exchange, the Naga priest agreed:
Willing to take advantage of their maritime race, take the Azure Sword deep into the eternal storm of the depths of Atlanta and search for the trail of their target.
In exchange for the Azure Sword to help them, the Endless Giant Stomach Beast, which is currently sleeping, will be sent to the more distant future once again.
"Although the Endless Giant Stomach Beast is sleeping, it is not completely unaware of the outside world." The Naga priestess rested his staff on the ground, and the deep pool at the bottom of the cave immediately splashed, forming an aerial map of the Atlantic Ocean.
Among them, the depths of the Atlanta Ocean exude a large expanse of vast golden light, and the area alone is actually several times that of the Northern Continent.
"After several time jumps, it has realized that it is being teleported, and has consciously released a large number of Leviathans." The Naga priest nodded, and a number of golden dots appeared on the map, "These Leviathans are the eyes and ears of the Endless Giant-Stomach Beasts, and they breed with whales in large numbers and spread more offspring in the oceans in order to find and destroy Angra Sanstomo and prevent us from banishing him further into the future." β
"We've set up circles around the island to expel aquatic creatures, and the Leviathan will subconsciously avoid them, but that doesn't hide them for long. Before it is destroyed by the Tempest, we need to drive the Circle of Shrines at the bottom of the nine islands as soon as possible to send the Endless Stomach Beast off this worldline once again. β
"That way, at least for the rest of your lifetime, you won't have to worry about the Endless Stomach Beast awakening and destroying your world." The Naga priest turned around and said.
"So there's going to be more Leviathan in the sea, right?" Asker asked.
"Well, we can't completely erase the traces of it in this world." The Naga priest raised an eyebrow, "But no amount of Leviathans is much easier to deal with than their main body." The storm you have encountered in the outside world is really just a thought of the Beast of the Endless Stomach as it sleeps. β
"If the Leviathan is attacked, or notices something unusual, it will go to the sleeping beast and tell it where it was attacked. The storm is then released from its dreams, sweeping all the way to the Leviathan's designated location. β
"If such a storm is not able to destroy all objects at the specified coordinates, then it will provoke the wrath of the sleeping Endless Stomach Beast, causing the intensity of the storm to increase almost indefinitely - until we can't hold it anymore."
"Of course, the Leviathan will notify the Behemoth of any suspicious coordinates, and in turn we can follow the alarmed Leviathan and find the specific location where the Endless Stomach Beast has been teleported to this world."
"In other words, now that we know the coordinates of the other party at the same time, the next thing to compete with is to see if the hero porterΓ is destroyed by the storm first, or if we first launch the magic circle to banish it again."
"Understood." Aske nodded and said, "What do you need us to do?" β
"We look through time and see two transcendents on your team." The Naga priest stared at the deep pool and said, "One is similar to the sacrifice of our Zongderrik, and is also a snooper of the laws of fate; The other is the King of the Storm Plague. β
This is obviously talking about Mi'er and Sheila, and the tone of Naga's sacrifice to the old god at this time is almost like Mi'er who is observing the world line, so that Sidlifa can't hold back, and "poof" laughs.
"I'm sorry." Seeing that both Asker and Naga Priest turned their heads to look at her, Hidlifa quickly changed the subject, "That, what about me?" Is there anything I can do? β
"In addition to the special missions that your two companions can perform, the later Tempest will be accompanied by a large number of Leviathan attacks." The Naga priest replied, "Every Leviathan has a demigod-level strength of Lv.30 or above, but due to the upper limit of the Demon Tide, it will exert the power of Lv.20 at most, but its vitality will not shrink. β
"We don't want you to kill or repel these Leviathans, but that's not realistic...... We just want to slow them down and buy us more time to activate the circle. β
So it's equivalent to fighting a large number of demigods at the same time...... Aske was silent, and suddenly his heart became a little weak.
Of course he himself is no problem, even if there are more of these Leviathans, as long as the battle awareness is similar to the Leviathan boss in the game, it is no problem for him to protect himself in battle.
However, the girls in the team, except for Peggy, have no demigod rank after all. Although Asker had been leading them for more than two years, he couldn't pat his chest and say that they would definitely survive a large number of Leviathan attacks unharmed.
It's not a big deal in the game, it's a big deal to resurrect after death; In this world, if you are dead, you are really dead, and if Peggy's death deprivation is too late to be released, it is estimated that she can only take the path of the undead.
Asker hesitated a little and planned to discuss it with the girls in the team first.
Near the Moniz volcano, the girls have teleported out of the Hearth Island. Huge branches and leaves burst out of the dirt, blocking the crowd from the storm.
ββ¦β¦ So that's it. "This is a very challenging employment contract, so we don't require full participation, and if you are not confident in your combat ability, you can choose not to participate......"
"No, no one really gave up this opportunity, right?" Medea immediately scoffed.
"Don't play disgusting memes." Askra took out his long sword and knocked Miss Succubus on the head, "Because of the special situation, we are still mainly voluntary. Those who do not want to participate can raise their hands. β
The girls watched him silently, and no one raised their hands.
"Raise your hand if you want to participate." Asker put it another way.
Sidlifa immediately raised her hand in the air, as if the first hand raised would get a different look from the regimental commander.
