Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Optimistic Lord
"What happened to my lord?" Arthur didn't want to do much, but no matter how you look at this expression, it can't escape from it.
Frick Canon nodded, sighed, and put the letter on the desk: "Yes, it's troublesome, I didn't expect that the people of Winter Frost would use such a trick." ”
The next means? The bear was known so quickly? No, even if he knew, it shouldn't be through letters, Arthur thought of other possibilities, I'm afraid the other party's means are more than this.
"Lone wolf, you go down first, and at the same time issue a mission announcement to recruit passing adventurers, we need a large number of people." Flick didn't have much, but first ordered the lone wolf, and some of the private transactions with Arthur were not easy to reveal to the outside world.
In other words, the identity of a lone wolf is not enough, and he is not qualified to participate in this matter.
"Yes, sir." It was not the first time that the town had issued a recruitment announcement, and the lone wolf was very familiar with the process, nodded and left the study expressionlessly, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.
Watching the lone wolf go out, Flick picked up the letter on the table again and shook it resentfully: "The Guardian of the Land, the Vine of Thorns, and even the Totem of Fire have all rejected my invitation, and these guys all say that they have been hired, and you must know that their leader specially came to them a week ago, hoping to get this year's mission." ”
Are they all hired? These three names Arthur is quite familiar, and they are all old mercenary groups near Morado.
The Totem of Fire, which has been established for a few years, has more than 20 people, all of whom are a mercenary group of standard professional adventurers, earning commissions by performing tasks in several towns around Morado.
Morado also had a lot of collaborators in previous years, and they often didn't choose a mercenary group to compete with each other to reduce the cost of hiring.
Arthur didn't know much about it in the past, but when he was involved in the mission to expel the goblins, he got a lot of information from Canon, and also learned how many behind-the-scenes games are hidden for this mission every year.
"Are you planning to recruit adventurers as your main force? For such a long-term task, I'm afraid that more manpower and money will be spent? Arthur shook his head, disapproving.
Adventurers, the nature of mercenary groups is different, adventurers are often unstable, and some professions say that although they have the name of a professional, they are flawed in combat and skills.
In terms of combining and completing such large-scale tasks, the personnel are still fixed, and mercenary groups with experience in similar missions many times are more sure.
If you find an adventurer who is not familiar with the situation to form a team, it is likely to be like Arthur, directly stuck in the time to find the goblin, and in the end the money is spent more than the mercenary group, but it does not achieve the desired effect, and it is a waste of time.
Solo or in groups, teams of adventurers are very free, and usually complete a fixed number of tasks, perhaps allowing them to hunt as many goblins as they want in exchange for a bounty, or gathering medicinal herbs that may be very good.
But to drive away such an uncountable task, to hand over to the adventurer is to take a risk, once the adventurer leaves Morado, even if he does not complete it, he will not be able to get back the commission given.
"So what, my Canon family will never give up their rights, no matter who the opponent is! By the way, what are you here for today? It can't be that there is a problem with the summoning, right? Frick's face was resolute and then worried, and he couldn't see the old fox at the banquet.
Arthur sighed in his heart, he really didn't know whether to tell him this bad news, but what if he didn't say anything, the bears were already on the mountain, I am afraid that at this time, he might have run out of his territory, and he could hurt the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt at any time.
Arthur told Lilia about everything, of course, he concealed Lilia's ability, and said that he ruined the final step of the summoning, so that the summoned monster did not get the order.
"Smack! How dare they do that? I don't even take my card farmer seriously! Frick was about to blow up when he heard it, Ford, the name is powerful, but it has to be faced with the Canon family.
The general in the north of the old Canon, although he was born in the aristocracy, is not an old and powerful aristocrat, and his strength in the army has also been worked hard in recent decades, and the old Ford family is not the same way at all.
This is naturally the enemy in the army faction, and the Kanon family will never back down, not only that, but also fight back, and they must not let what they want to do succeed.
"It's good that Arthur Goblin can succeed in the contract, you don't have to worry about the time, I will add the task of rounding up in the released mission, so that you can increase the number of contracts, I want to see what they can do with me, the magic level Ice Storm Bear, I want to leave it to Winter Frost to deal with by himself, it couldn't be more suitable."
The old fox is the old fox, and he immediately made a decision to reassure Arthur, and Flick knew very well that it was not himself who was at the center of the storm, but the young man in front of him.
If Arthur retreats, no matter how tough his Canon family is, as long as Arthur resists, their Canon family does not need to face the powerful Ford family, hide behind their backs, and stab them in the back.
"What about the Ice Storm?" Arthur was a little stunned when he heard what Flick meant, as if he could leave it alone for now, wasn't he afraid that this monster would break into the town?
A monster of this level, even if it's just outside the town, can't stand it, Arthur doesn't want to hear the news that the family accidentally died because of this bear.
"Hahaha, don't worry, how do these outsiders know about our Morado, we have a great tower here, and powerful monsters won't approach at all.
Only weak monsters like goblin slimes can't feel the greatness of the tower, remember the legend of Morado, people are safe here, this can be said to be more than just orcs! Flick was confident, not at all worried.
"Ah...... Tower? Arthur sweated in his heart, and said that you were so confident for half a year, it turned out to be this, which made him not know how to speak.
I can't just say, big brother, I'm already the owner of the tower now, the tower that has maintained Morado for hundreds of years will never appear again, maybe the powerful monster will come back from the forest, let's roll up the package and run!
I'm afraid that this is really going to be said, I'm afraid Arthur won't want to get out of the gate of this lord's mansion, and the news has arrived, Arthur feels that he may not be able to count on this uncle who is optimistic and ready to play palace fighting.
"In the end, it's up to Melissa, where have you been, my half-goblin?"
