It's been almost half a month since the Dark Brotherhood lair was destroyed, and during that time, Link has spent most of his time in his attic.

Although the attic was very simple, although he had money in his pocket, the tranquility of the attic of his hotel, so he never changed his accommodation.

The paper has made great progress, but Link still can't find a concrete and clear way forward, and although what he wrote is very subtle, the structure is very scattered, and the east is a bunch, which seems to make sense, but there is no clear main line.

At this point, the law of gravitation was far from enough to summarize what was written on parchment.

It's like you're groping in the dark, and you don't know if it's a thorn bush or a smooth road ahead, and you don't know what you're going to encounter in front of you.

"What will I find in the end?" Link looked at the characters that kept jumping on the scroll, and his heart was very anticipating.

However, today's inspiration is not very sufficient, Link wrote a little morning, he felt a little unsustainable, he was not in a hurry, he simply put down the pen, put his hands on the back of his head, his legs rested on the table, his eyes half closed and half open, looking through the small window of the attic at the Gwent Forest bathed in golden sunlight.

A rare sense of relaxation and tranquility.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the sound was a little mixed, and there was a footstep that was obviously very heavy, but it was obviously deliberately lightened, as if it was noisy to him.

Link's heart moved, and he already knew who was coming. When the footsteps reached the door, Link picked up the crescent moon wand and pointed at the wooden door at random, activating the mage's hand.

There was a 'click' of the wooden door, and the door had been opened, and the three members of Flamingo's mercenary team were standing outside the door.

"Come in." Link Road.

Ark walked in first, carrying a bulging sack on his back, and the attic was so narrow and low that Ark had to keep his head down, and by the time Gregor and Lucy had come in, the attic was almost full.

"Mr. Link, you should find a big room." Gridan couldn't help but say, it's not that he has no money, why would a powerful and noble magician live in such a leaky attic.

Link smiled, "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it, and it's quieter here." ”

He turned to Ark again, "So, Werther's treasure has been found?" ”

Ark nodded, put the sack on the ground, judging from the sound, this thing is not light, he untied the rope of the sack, opened the bag, and the inside suddenly showed a golden light, it was a gold coin!

"We found 18 treasures and got a total of 2,900 gold coins, plus the money from selling equipment and jewelry, we got a total of 4,000 gold, which is much more than the expected income. So this time we brought 2000 gold. Ark said softly, as if afraid to be heard.

God knows how apprehensive he was when he walked down the street carrying such a bag of gold coins, and if he was accidentally seen, it would definitely be a bloody storm.

Link's expression did not change at all, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "We should have agreed on 1,500 gold coins, why are there 500 more?" ”

What Yak admired most was Link's deep bearing, as if nothing in this world could surprise him, and he explained, "You are a magician, and the reason why you have been staying in Riverdale is because you want to enter the East Valley School of Magic, right?" ”

Link nodded, he had already guessed what Ark was thinking, but he waited for him to say it himself.

"We have inquired, the tuition fee of Donggu College is 2000 gold coins, I know, it is a matter of time before you earn enough money, but study time is precious, always the sooner the better. For our current strength, it is not a good thing to take so many gold coins, and we can't spend this money, so we still have to leave it alone, so it is better for you to use it. ”

For ordinary people, the purchasing power of gold coins is very amazing, if it is just for daily needs such as eating, drinking, and Lazar, 30 gold coins can make people live a very decent life for a year, after 2000 gold coins were given to Link, the three of them divided the remaining 2000 gold coins equally, and each got more than 650 gold coins, which is already a huge amount of money.

For the three of them, this amount of gold was enough to fulfill their wishes that they had not been able to achieve before.

For example, Ark, who finally bought a piece of stainless steel armor. Lucy, the swift stabbing sword she had valued in the smithy shop for a long time, had become her new weapon, and she had been replaced with a tough crocodile leather armor. As for Gridan, not to mention the longbow, even the arrows have been changed, and now, all he uses are carved steel swords, 3 silver coins each, which is ridiculously expensive.

The trio even bought a small courtyard in Riverdale to serve as a temporary home for the mercenary team.

These are all things that I couldn't have imagined before.

Of course, they are not without ambition in their hearts, Ark has always wanted to establish a mercenary group of his own, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cold and ruthless, and the biggest limitation is that their own strength is too weak.

Ark is a level 3 warrior, and Lucy and Gridan are both level 2, which is not bad for an independent mercenary team, but for a mercenary group, this strength is greatly insufficient.

For example, now, they get so many gold coins, but they only dare to change to ordinary equipment, but they don't dare to spend a lot of money to buy magic equipment, the reason is very simple, they are afraid that they will have a life to spend money and not have a life to enjoy, maybe when the magic equipment arrives, they will be assassinated at night and things will be robbed.

Link's statement moved Link, who thought for a moment and nodded, "I do need this money, and since that's the case, I'll take it." ”

2000 gold coins is the price of a commoner's admission, he is a child of a nobleman, and he should be able to reduce his admission a lot, but learning magic is also very expensive, and he doesn't mind having more savings in his pocket.

Ark smiled, and Lucy looked at the sack full of gold coins with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. Gridan, he's already exited the attic in pain, and if he stays any longer, he'll be tempted to snatch the money back.

Accepting the gold coin, Link suddenly said: "The Dark Brotherhood has fallen, this news can't be hidden, I'm afraid that recently, there are many people who are secretly paying attention to you, right?" ”

Originally, they were just temporary partners, and after the cooperation was completed, there would be nothing to do with it, but this Ark has a good temperament, judging from his move of giving 2,000 gold coins today, this person is very ambitious, and very discerning, and very willing to invest.

Such a person, if he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to fly!

Although Link's mission to save the world is somewhat unreliable, whether it is to keep gaining freedom points to make himself stronger, or to have a good living environment in the future, instead of being chased around like wild dogs by the dark army, he always strives to change the world.

The task of fighting against the Dark Army is a bit difficult, he definitely can't do it alone, he needs help, and now it seems that the Flamingo Squad is very good and worth cooperating.

Link was right, the Flamingo Mercenary Regiment had been in some trouble lately.

Ark sighed, frowning slightly: "Recently, the underground forces in Gwent Forest have become a mess, we are very careful when selling equipment, but this matter cannot be hidden, during this time, we have sent several groups of snoopers." ”

Fortunately, their strength is not bad in Gwent Forest, otherwise, it would be a question whether they can stay alive now.

In the final analysis, they are still not strong enough, they have not really destroyed the power of the Dark Brotherhood, and they can succeed, mainly relying on Link.

Ark estimates that much of the reason they're still alive is that the snoopers haven't figured out their hole cards yet.

As soon as these words came out, Lucy and Gridan's faces were a little heavy, and they both felt a huge pressure.

Although I got a lot of money, if I wasn't careful, I was afraid that I would die and spend it. When I don't have money, I want to be rich, but when I have money, I am afraid of being remembered, this thing is really tangled.

Link asked rhetorically, "Then why don't you get out of here with the money?" Go to the Southern Liberal Alliance, where no one knows you, and you'll be fine. ”

Ark shook his head with a wry smile: "Your gold coins haven't been sent to you yet, how can we go?" Besides, our strength is not good, it is the same everywhere, and it will be very dangerous to show our wealth. ”

I don't know why, but when he said this, Ark suddenly had a strange premonition, as if his life was entering a turning point, a turning point from ordinary to great.

Sure enough, after he said this, Link laughed, not the polite smile before, but a sincere smile: "Very good, just for what you did today, I will give you a chance." ”

He now has 39 free points, and these points can be used to buy a level 3 magic, and in the level 3 magic, there is a very magical mystical magic.

It is said to be magical because this magic can change a warrior's physical qualifications, so that a warrior who cannot have the ability to have combat qi can get a breakthrough.

The essence of a warrior's fighting spirit is the application of various powers, and in the final analysis, it is actually a kind of magic, but it is very crude and primitive magic.

For a long time, the warriors' use of battle qi was very crude, and the battle qi they possessed was also very thin, very few warriors were able to break through level 4, as for level 6, level 7, level 8, that must be an achievement that can only be achieved by a peerless genius once in hundreds of years.

But a thousand years ago, there was a magician named 'Waynes' who changed this situation, he did a very detailed study of the warrior's battle spirit, this magician is very strange, in order to obtain research information, hunted powerful warriors everywhere, it is said that he even killed a genius level 8 powerhouse, and then dissected him alive, or vivisection!

Eventually, he obtained the ultimate secret of battle qi and created a mystical school of magic called 'battle qi'.

Yes, the warrior's combat qi can be obtained by virtue of talent, but at the same time, it can also be obtained through acquired training, the method of this exercise, the essence is a mysterious type of magic, of course, this is the name of the magician, in the warrior world, people prefer to call this magic called the battle qi gong.

Soon, Link found the foundational magic of the Battle Atmosphere Occult in the magic list.
