Chapter 15: Fat
…
"Captain, just now I went to the branch to hand in the task, and I saw the guild's newly issued bounty order, which seems to be a mission to explore suspected demon relics."
"Oh? Where to go? As soon as he heard the word demon, Reese's eyes immediately lit up.
Since the demon race was defeated by the God of Light five thousand years ago, and the remnants fled into the Endless Sea, no one on the Darak continent has ever seen the figure of the demon again. Over the years, the demons' deterrent power has waned, and people are more curious about their treasures than they are about their horrors.
So, when the news of the demon's grave came, Reese, who was determined to explore the unknown, would of course be excited!
Although he would never have dreamed that the demon boss would be sitting opposite him at this moment...
"Hmm... It seems to be going to the Naia Desert, and I see that many people have already taken the mission and left, Captain, are we going? Jack thought for a moment and replied.
Reece didn't answer directly, but turned his inquiring gaze to Kerry, and after seeing him look back at ease, he slapped the table and said affirmatively:
"Pick it up, of course we have to pick it up, this time we can be regarded as having hit a big luck, and the bounty orders related to demons are not common!" Seeing that the captain agreed, several adventurous team members looked forward to it.
It is said that the demons are rich, and maybe there will be something good in its ruins, and who wouldn't want to get their hands on the demons' treasures!
"Mr. Reese, are you going to the Naia Desert?" Lilian, who had been quietly listening to everyone's discussions, suddenly spoke, and everyone immediately focused their attention.
"What, is Miss Elija also interested in demons?" Reese raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.
Although the decision to go has been made, and there are still bounty tasks led by masters, their strength is enough to deal with it; But if you can have a strong and trustworthy teammate, that's a good thing!
"Yes, if you don't mind, I'd like to go with you." Lillian affirmed. This is the first time that Andy has received information related to the 'Demon Race', as a royal demon, she has to take a look at everything she says, and see where the so-called 'Demon Clan' is.
Reece nodded, "I agree, what do you think?" ”
"That's the best, with Illya as a companion, of course I'd like to!"
"I'm okay with that."
"So do we!"
"Okay, the unanimous vote is passed, and we'll pick up the task after dinner!"
"Oh~!!"
…
Bounty orders are super-large team tasks issued by large customers in the adventurer's guild, such large-scale tasks are generally rarely encountered, one is that the cost of opening the bounty order is too high, and it is not easy to pay;
In addition, the big customers who can make money generally have their own trusted subordinates, and they rarely hire these unorganized adventurers.
Therefore, since the establishment of the Adventure Guild, there have only been a few super large tasks with an unlimited number of people such as the Bounty Order.
In a conference room in the middle of the Tash Union, the Adventurers' Association, a group of adventurers dressed in different costumes and imposing sat around a long table; They were the leaders who came from the various chapters for the sake of this bounty order.
Thomas is the president of Scott's Empire North, and five days ago, he received a notice to come to the meeting.
Although the bounty order was small, it was not unheard of before, and it was not enough for the general association to issue such a notice, which made him puzzled.
What's going on? Need to get all the chapter leaders to come?
"Hey, Thomas, you're here too?"
Looking back, a dark-skinned guy walked around the chair across the room and dangled to Thomas, who was the president of the Imperial Order, Lake.
"The master spoke, can you not come, I don't want to throw away this idle job." One is an old acquaintance, Thomas touched his nose and said casually.
"Since I took office, I haven't held a presidential meeting, this is the first time that the eldest girl has been in a sedan chair ~ Eh, you say, there will always be something here, the people and the money..."
Lake sat down next to Thomas and leaned over to whisper a conversation.
"What else can we do, it's just that we don't have enough execution, and we want to pay more attention to this task."
After listening to Thomas's answer, Lake was curious: "You say, which customer has the ability to make the president bow his head?" ”
"Who knows..."
yes, who is it that has this ability?
"Here it is, here comes the president..."
"Damn, temple people?"
"Damn, why are these sub-gods..."
The quieter conference hall suddenly became noisy, and the short president walked into the hall with an old man in a bright red uniform.
"Ahem! Everyone... Be quiet! ”
The president opened his voice and yelled, and the crowd, who had been noisy just now, immediately fell silent.
Seeing that the scene was under control, the chief of the president pulled him to the ground and handed his palm to the old man in red with a smile.
"Haha, let me introduce to you, this is the head of the Western Partition - Cardinal Lawrence! Warm welcome everyone! ”
"Smack... Syllable... Smack..."
In response to him, there was sparse applause, and the president didn't care, he lowered his palm, and continued in his loud voice: "Now let the bishop announce the core task of this bounty order, you all listen to me, this is a big matter related to the life and death of mankind, whoever drops the chain, I will take whoever is killed!" ”
After a few harsh words with a hideous face, the president returned to his normal state, walked aside with a smile on his face, and left the presiding position to the cardinal.
The old Lawrence did not refuse, he took a small step forward, and he crossed the space of five meters long, and walked from the door of the hall to the front of the main seat at once, this is the ability that he has after touching the threshold of the holy level - shrinking the ground into inches!
"Shrink the ground into inches! Damn, it's a quasi-saint!! ”
"Oh my God, I didn't look dazzled!"
"I have long heard that the temple is as strong as a cloud, and all the bishops have the strength of the imperial level, and the cardinals are even all saint-level, and when I saw it today, it was indeed the case. The strongest organization in the mainland lives up to its name! ”
“……”
While everyone was amazed by Lawrence's great strength, Thomas frowned deeply.
Since the presiding cardinal is indeed a saint, and not a Xibei cargo; Then why would you still need to come to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a bounty order? Others think that the Adventurers' Guild is outnumbered and powerful, but Thoth doesn't think so.
The Adventurers' Guild is indeed outnumbered, but not as powerful, and at best a loosely managed bounty organization.
Although there are also many resident powerhouses in the guild, such as the president, he is a master at the pinnacle of the emperor level, and the branch presidents sitting here are almost all above the emperor level, which seems to be quite powerful at first glance.
But this is only relative to ordinary people, if it is compared to the thousand-year-old temple of the Panheng Continent, then it is nothing.
"Holy Level..."
It is absolutely unimaginable that a person who has never seen a saint level represents the strength and fear represented by these two thin words... That's right, it's fear! Insurmountable, hopeless and powerless fear!
Thomas was fortunate enough to see the Holy Rank in a mission, and the feeling of being invincible and the sky falling apart with a wave of his hand was by no means something that could be won by numbers.
And why would the temple be willing to dispatch such powerful personnel to mobilize adventurers to participate in the mission? Don't talk nonsense like 'God loves the world and is selfless,' it's used to deceive fools.
"I found a large group of miscellaneous soldiers to explore the way, the temple is so cautious, it seems that this mission is very dangerous..."
Thomas smiled sarcastically, worried about this mission...
"Hello kids."
Just as everyone was talking and surprised by the strength of the temple, Bishop Lawrence greeted the adventurers in a sacred and solemn tone.
"This large-scale mission was commissioned by my temple. I think everyone wonders why my temple asked the Adventurers' Guild to carry out this mission. ”
Lawrence paused and said solemnly:
"As we all know, when the demon race ravaged five thousand years ago, it was my temple, under the leadership of the God of Light, that killed the evil demon emperor and drove this cruel race out of the Dahlak continent, so that there is a good life for human beings now."
"Although the demon clan has been driven away and the Demon Emperor has been killed, it has left behind an heir. According to the prophecy of my temple, the remnant of the Demon Emperor is thriving in a corner of the continent, and if we don't find him as soon as possible and destroy him, the good life of mankind will be disrupted by cruel and evil demons. ”
Speaking of this, Lawrence put on a kind smile,
"Fortunately, the investigators belonging to the temple sent back the news three days ago that in the Naia Desert, an ancient building suspected of being the remains of the demon clan was discovered. For the sake of the future of mankind, I hope that everyone can contribute some efforts and mobilize more powerful adventurers to participate in the task of exterminating the demons. And..."
When the president of the banquet was bored and didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the god stick anymore, Lawrence immediately threw out a bombshell news that adventurers were most concerned about:
"And... According to the information sent back by the investigators, this ancient building hidden in the Naia Desert has been determined to belong to the mysterious country that took refuge in the demon clan 5,000 years ago - Guhua! ”
"What! Guhua! ”
"Gu Hua? Why is it familiar? ”
"Hey, you don't know this, Guhua is also a human country, but it took refuge in the demons, and after the defeat of the demons, it also disappeared, but it doesn't matter, do you know, where did so many powerful weapons of the demons come from?"
"Where?"
"Nonsense! Of course, it was made by Gu Hua, that is the legendary artifact country, and now the top ten artifacts circulating on the continent, half of them are made by Gu Hua, and now its ruins have been discovered, doesn't that mean that everyone who goes to the ruins may get the legendary artifact that opens the mountain and breaks the stream! ”
"yes......"
That's right! Guhua, which has the legend of the country of artifacts, is indeed rich in divine soldiers. And in the ruins, there may indeed be artifacts left behind, but are artifacts really that easy to hold?
Looking at the noisy crowd in the hall, Lawrence, who had completed the task, showed a smile, and the wrinkles on his face deepened...
