Chapter 43: Position
In the afternoon, the blue brocade-like lake is covered with sparkling water waves, flashing a little golden light, reflecting the reckless forest shadow, like the texture on the silk, and like the painting on the brocade, making people fall into a fantasy world, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false between the real and the false.
The caravan was set up on the shores of the lake, most of the men were building defenses in depth in an orderly manner, and a few brought stubs and barrels to fetch water to the lake.
"Ahh
A terrible scream came from the lake, and everyone struck a stirring spirit and looked sideways.
It turned out that a toad the size of a millstone had attacked the man who was carrying water, and the man's thigh had been pierced by the toad's sharp tongue, and several experienced men next to him were holding him backwards, and a few newcomers were smashing the toad monster with their flat poles.
But the toad monster has a layer of transparent slime on its body, and they not only slip and smash it in these few blows, but also delay the excellent opportunity to retreat.
"Quack!"
The toad monster is ferocious and lunges forward, knocking down a panicked novice. Then it shot its sharp tongue again at the fellow's throat with its big mouth.
"It's over!"
Just as the fellow closed his eyes and waited for death, he killed a man from the oblique stab, blocked the toad's tongue stab with his body, and saved the fellow.
But Dong Yi arrived!
He is known for his own defense, so in the face of a low-level monster like a toad, there is no need to dodge at all, he slashes against the opponent's tongue stab, sweeps and splits, and slashes out seven times in a row like thunder, and finally breaks the protective slime on the toad monster with a clean and beautiful "attack", and completely finishes it.
"Whew-"
After the toad monster died, the deflated leather ball began to shrink, leaving behind a toad skin the size of a human head and a dozen gold coins.
Dong Yi stepped over and picked up the gold coins, which were his extra money on a mission. Then crush the toad skin and apply it to the affected area of the injured man earlier.
The toad skin has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing swelling, although the guy is still in a coma because of excessive blood loss, but he will not consume precious potions to save this guy, he can do it now, it is already considered benevolent and righteous, as for whether this guy can save his life, it is not within the scope of his consideration at all.
"Vindicators!"
Park Myung-hee also rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and he knew that the vindication would "heal", so he turned around and shouted to the roof of the truck.
As soon as he finished speaking, the vator's "healing technique" had reached the man's head.
Almost to the end of the operation, the guy's originally pale face gradually returned to ruddy, followed by a "eh" sober, under the guidance of others, he knew that he could save his life thanks to Dong Yi and the defender, so he thanked the two of them for a thousand thanks, and the defender comforted him a few words, and then dispersed.
However, Dong Yi followed the defender to his truck loaded with grain, and when he saw the latter's puzzled look, he smiled and said, "Brother, don't misunderstand!" ”
Then he introduced himself: "My name is Dong Yi, a level 22 warrior, I don't know what to call my brother?" ”
"Guardian Daoist, born in the border village, newly promoted junior Taoist."
The defender didn't know what he meant, so he picked up some problems that could be seen at a glance and dealt with them, and then asked, "What's the matter with Brother Dong?" ”
"That's right, Brother Wei, you probably don't know that it is very difficult for a junior divine power hero to develop alone!"
Dong Yi was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he tried to be as straightforward as possible: "If you join a guild composed of divine heroes, then the situation will be different, the guild will help you in many aspects, such as equipment maintenance, medicine trading, internal auction of high-level equipment, etc., the most important thing is that you can also make more friends, once you encounter any dangerous situation, you can also take care of each other." ”
In addition to escorting the caravan, he also has a mission to recruit these newly promoted heroes to join his guild, and now that he has found the target, of course he can't miss it.
"Oh?"
The defender's eyes lit up when he heard the word "guild", he was about to arrive in Beach City, and he had to know something about the various forces in Beach City.
After thinking about it, he took out the wine and food from his waist bag, pulled Dong Yi to sit on the ground, and chatted while eating: "Brother Dong, the guild has provided us with so much convenience, so should we also do something for the guild?" ”
"Of course, the guild is like a big family, and we also want this family to do what we can."
Dong Yi has a very friendly attitude towards the junior divine power heroes, because they are equal to each other's identities, so after drinking a bowl of wine, he began to give the defenders popular science: "For example, the task of escorting the caravan this time is to contribute to the guild, and the guild will calculate the points for us according to the number of missions we have sent out and the degree of task completion......"
There are still points?
Grandma is a claw, it can't be a pyramid scheme, right?
As soon as he heard the word "points", the vindicators instinctively became resistant to the line. However, not only did he not show it, but he also asked a few words from time to time, and Dong Yi did not hide it, after all, this information could be known when he arrived in Beach City with a little inquiry, so the defender quickly got the answer he wanted.
It turns out that there are currently four large guilds in Beachy City that are competing with each other, namely "Invincible", "Bloody Battle in All Directions", "Juyi Hall" and "Heaven and Earth Heroes Association".
These four guilds are divided into two major factions due to different regions, "invincible" and "bloody" are local factions, and the guild president is a native of Hagenau.
The guild leaders are from the kingdom of Saint Ao and the kingdom of Jibako, who migrated to the kingdom of Hagena during the war, and then these two countries disappeared in the divine punishment, and they have been settled in the capital of the kingdom of Beach.
Dong Yi's guild is "invincible", the guild president is called Tang Haichuan, the first warrior in Beach Province, the current level is level 34, the entire guild is composed of more than 2,000 divine heroes, and Tang Haichuan is also the heir of the Tang family.
The Tang Chamber of Commerce is a veteran Hagenaur Chamber of Commerce that has always monopolized the mining industry, so "invincible" has strong financial support.
The other three guilds have a similar model to the former, all of which are headed by a high-level hero with divine powers, and they all have the support of a large chamber of commerce behind them.
The president of the "Blood War in the Eight Directions" is Yao Wei, a level 34 mage, and behind him is the Yao Family Chamber of Commerce, a giant that operates shipping and fishery, with more than 1,000 guild members, ranking last among the four guilds in strength.
At that time, the fire oil used by the defenders to burn the half-orc village came from the Yao family.
After talking about the locals, let's talk about the foreigners.
The president of the "Juyi Hall" is Jiang Jingxiu, a level 35 Taoist priest, who is the first Taoist priest in Beach Province.
The Jiang family has been engaged in animal husbandry in the Kingdom of Shengao, and after coming to Beach City, they are still in charge of land transportation and most of the livestock trading business, and the guild has more than 2,000 members, which are comparable to the Tang family.
The last guild is the "Heaven and Earth Heroes Association", and its president is the 37-level mage Wang Zhuoyang, who is currently the highest-level divine hero in Beach Province, with more than 3,000 guild members, and the Wang family operates the most profitable pharmaceutical industry, so whether it is financial or manpower, the "Heaven and Earth Heroes Association" is the strongest among the four guilds.
Of course, they can't cover the sky with one hand, and there is a fifth force in Beach City, that is, a scattered organization formed by heroes of divine power who are unwilling to be controlled by the guild.
"Brother Dong, let me think about it, how about replying when I get to Beach City?"
The vindication got the answer he wanted, but did not immediately express his position, but instead played Tai Chi with the other party.
"That's as it should be!"
Dong Yi said with undiminished enthusiasm.
He has seen a lot of this situation, most of the junior divine power heroes in remote areas are arrogant, and when they get to Beach City and hit the nail and hit the south wall, they will naturally take the initiative to contact him and ask to join the guild.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his right hand, "Brother Wei, leave a 'mark', you can always come to me if you have difficulties in Beach City!" ”
"Thank you Brother Dong for your care!"
The vindication stretched out his hand and shook the other party, and then looked at the back of the other party leaving, and felt quite emotional in his heart.
Today, if I change to any junior divine power hero, after hearing about the many benefits of joining the guild, coupled with Dong Yi's cordial and enthusiastic wooing, I will choose to join "Invincible" immediately.
But he couldn't, because he was about to partner with the king in the tobacco business, and he would not take sides until he knew the relationship between the guilds and the king.
