Chapter Ninety-Eight: Weird
For three days, there was no trace of the undead on the first floor of the sewers.
For three days, Lan Wu endured three full days. Whether it was Flora, Erin, or Avila, the three of them looked at him with strange eyes all the time.
Without him, the demonic energy contributed by the undead creatures on the entire sewer floor was absorbed by Lan Wu alone. This completely subverts their perceptions.
"Don't look at me like that." Lan Wu was helpless. He didn't expect this either. The only thing that made him happy was that his skills, except for the two skeleton resurrection skills, had finally shown signs of improvement. However, what bothered him was that those skills had experience, but the highest skill had only ten points of experience for the skeleton. The rest of the skills, such as the Bearman Transformation, are all single-digit experience.
This made him both entangled and helpless. The undead creatures on the entire sewer floor decompose enough to make the entire team rise by one or two levels on average. But he absorbed all the demonic energy, not to mention that his level did not increase, and his skill level did not improve. That's a no-brainer.
For this purpose, he consulted Rodamant. The answer given by the latter once again made him helpless.
"The physique of the benefactor is very different, and the level can only be improved through special methods." Rodament said.
Lan Wu turned around and left, beckoning Flora and the others to return to the ground. If you think about it on your toes, you know that the special method that Roddamant speaks of is by no means the one that can be achieved at the moment. Otherwise, it's time to say directly and clearly how to upgrade.
Since there is no hope of upgrading for the time being, it is better not to know, so as not to feel uncomfortable in your heart.
Just back on the ground, Grez walked up to him. He walked up to Lan Wu, stroked his chest and saluted, and said solemnly, "I have sent men to Roge's camp to assist in the defense. ”
"Thank you." Lan Wu smiled faintly, and there was one less concern.
"I've arranged a place for you to stay." Grez fulfilled his promise, and the whole person became much easier.
"His Majesty Jehein has already arranged a place for us to live." Lan Wu smiled and didn't leave.
"His Majesty Jehein will definitely understand my feelings of repaying my kindness." Grace laughed and stretched out his hand.
The two tacitly agreed and quickly formed an alliance. Lan Wu needs such a powerful force to provide the necessary military assistance. And Grace also needs a key figure like Lan Wu to hook up with Rog's camp, leaving a way to protect himself.
A few mercenaries quickly approached and led Flora and the others away. Seeing the women leave, Grez suddenly lowered his voice: "At present, there is something wrong with Lu Gaoyin's situation. Several large families are gathering professionals. ”
"Oh?" Lan Wu raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
"It is said that someone has discovered the remains of Nevere. The major families plan to join forces to discover. Grez then broke another big news.
When Lan Wu heard this, his heart chuckled. The ruins of Nevere, isn't this what I'm looking for? According to Kane, Neve is so well hidden that he will never be found. How could Rugoin suddenly come up with rumors of finding the ruins of Nefer?
"Really?" Lan Wu pretended to be puzzled.
"I'm also a big man in Lugoin after all." Grez laughed and confidently raised his thumb and tapped his chest.
Lan Wu Waner. This Grez may seem rugged, but in fact he is also a shrewd person. Also, if it weren't for this ability, the powerful force of mercenaries would have been annexed long ago.
"You're not interested in the ruins of Nevere?" Grace asked meaningfully.
"It's not my turn to be interested." Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "Lu Gaoyin has joined forces with several major families, so how can I be an opponent." ”
"I can help you." Grace took advantage of the situation and patted his chest confidently: "Although my mercenary is not as good as a professional, he is definitely a good hand, and he is more than enough to face the demons outside the city." As long as you're interested, I can join forces with you to unearth this ruin. ”
Lan Wu was surprised. I thought that Grez was just trying to find a way back before deliberately befriending himself, but I didn't expect this big guy to have such big ambitions.
In the War of Original Sin, the three demon gods were finally resealed. But humanity has also lost its thriving civilization. To this day, demons remain humanity's greatest threat. And the only people who can resist demons are professionals. From the magical civilization of a hundred schools of thought to today's monotonous professional inheritance system, humanity has lost too much. And the ancient ruins are the hope of mankind to fight against demons.
Every relic contains a former civilization. Like Rugoin's city guards. Seven tombs of Talasia have been excavated, and the once-insignificant City Guards have risen to the top as a force at Jehein's disposal, rivaling mercenaries and pros.
A relic that means great benefits.
Grayz saw Lan Wu's refusal to answer, and knew that he couldn't rush it. He laughed and made a promise: "You can think about it first." There's still a lot of time. It will take at least half a month for them to sneak in and gather enough people. If you want, I can guarantee it. The entire Mercenary Guild will fully support you. You and I will get half of the harvest. ”
"Then I'll think about it first?" Lan Wu laughed.
"Of course, my friend." Grace sighed and readily accepted the reality.
At this moment, a mercenary hurriedly walked over. He walked over to Gracez and said a few words in a low voice. The latter's expression changed, and he looked at Lan Wu with a strange expression.
"Gross's servant is outside, saying that he will give you a banquet in the tavern and repay you for saving your life that day." Grace had a strange expression, as if wondering how Gross could suddenly become so eccentric and run to the tavern.
Has Gross been to a tavern?
Grez lifted his heart high. As a mercenary leader, he is all too familiar with Rugoin's tavern. It's not so much a tavern as it is JI-in. How could the heir of a large family like Gross have ever been to such a place?
"Gross wants to invite me to dinner?" Lan Wu also had a strange look.
I have the impression that this arrogant Lu Gaoyin has a bad relationship with himself, and he can even say that it is terrible. Even if he saved his life, how could he be kind enough to invite him to dinner. What's more, he was not the only one who really saved him. When it comes to thanking for a treat, it should be Grace.
"I'll go with you." Grez smiled heartily and hugged Lan Wu to the front hall.
The two of them came to the front hall, and sure enough, they saw a servant standing at the gate of the mercenary union. The man saw Lan Wu and Grez coming, and hurriedly saluted: "Honorable Lord Greze, Lord Divine Charismatic, Lord Grez is waiting for the two of you in the tavern. ”
Grez was surprised. Just now he said that he wanted to accompany Lan Wu to the banquet, but that was just talking. Although Gross's influence has been greatly reduced because of the temptation of demons, everyone knows that Jayhain has not spoken for a day, and Gross is still a major figure in Lu Gaoin. How could he be a mere mercenary leader, how could he rashly anger such a big man. As a result, I didn't expect that as soon as I appeared, I also became the object of invitation.
"Uh...... I also need to deploy mercenaries. Grace's mind raced, and he quickly made the decision to decline Gross's invitation. Safety first, so as not to invite unnecessary trouble.
"If the adults knew about seeing you and were not invited, I would have been given twenty lashes." A servant is worthy of a servant, and his level of speech is quite high.
Grace was so beaten by the servant, he laughed and readily agreed: "Okay, then I will accompany the Lord of God to the banquet." ”
Led by the servant, the two made their way to the tavern in the inner city. Before anyone could enter the door, the door was suddenly slammed open, and a slender figure stumbled and fell in front of the two of them.
Lan Wu frowned. The man who fell to the ground was a woman, very young, and looked to be twenty-one or twelve years old at most. She was dressed in the cool costume of a desert dancer, and a footprint was imprinted on her white gauze skirt, apparently kicked out of the door.
"Stinky ****, look for death." With a curse, a barbarian walked out of the door in a rage. He had a slap mark on his face.
When the girl saw the savage come out, she clenched her head in fright, and curled up on the ground, looking like she was resigned to her fate. Lan Wu's brows furrowed. He knew that this was the habit of the inhabitants of the lower strata of Lugoin.
The social structure of Rugoin resembles a pyramid. Jehein and the major families were at the top, followed by the city guards, the pros, and the mercenaries, and then the wealthy civilians. The lowest are ordinary civilians. The girl in front of her obviously belonged to the lowest level. If it weren't for poverty, he wouldn't have played the sad role of a dancing girl in a tavern.
In the face of strong professionals, civilians have no power to resist, so they can only accept their fate.
The barbarian walked out of the tavern in a rage, and when he saw Greze, his expression changed suddenly, and he stopped. The professional is certainly the top strength of Lu Gaoyin, but he is only an insignificant member of it, and he cannot represent all the professionals. In the face of Grez, the leader of the mercenaries, he really couldn't muster the slightest courage.
"Mistress Grace." The barbarian saluted respectfully. When he saw Lan Wu beside Grace, his face changed, and he shouted: "It's you." ”
Lan Wu was stunned for a moment and looked up. He was happy to see this. This barbarian is none other than Glasgow, an old acquaintance. He looked up and down, and teased with a smile: "You still want to bet with me?" ”
"Don't bet." Glasgow turned around and left.
This greatly surprised Lan Wu. He thought that Glasgow's fiery temper couldn't help but explode, and he just took the opportunity to divert his attention and save the poor dancing girl. I didn't expect Glasgow to turn around and leave. But fortunately, this dancing girl was saved.
When the goal was achieved, Lan Wu smiled faintly, picked up the dancing girl, and followed Grez into the tavern. As soon as I walked into the tavern, the first thing I saw was a person standing on the stairs.
"Gross." Lan Wu frowned slightly.
This haughty Lugauin man actually came out to greet him.
