Chapter 9: Three Mercenary Groups
Under normal circumstances, monsters naturally don't drop coins, and only individual monsters, such as dragons with collecting habits, crows, etc., will pick up things around and put them in their lair, and defeat such monsters to have similar gains.
So when this news came out, I don't know how many people were shocked, and I don't know how many people regretted going to the second floor of oil and water in the past few days.
Come to think of it, you can get about three silver coins by killing a team of skeleton monsters, which is much more profitable than going to the second floor to kill those level 30 or 40 monsters and collecting materials by skinning, and there is no danger.
However, there are still many people who keep their senses!
In the VIP room on the third floor of the tavern, the leaders of the three local mercenary groups of Danjue City gathered together.
They are not world-famous mercenary groups like Bai Xin and Lei Shanlan, who have a lot of business, they are just medium mercenary groups that specialize in dungeons.
Because of the king's injection of a large amount of money this time, many large, medium and small mercenary groups have poured into Danjue City, and their status has been impacted, and they have no choice but to join forces to survive.
"What do you think, two? Any thoughts? ”
The first to speak was the head of the Juexin Mercenary Group, Qingke. Banner. This is a white-bearded old man over half a hundred years old, with four scars of different sizes on his weather-beaten face, which makes his face have a very strong deterrent power.
"The events on the basement level are really weird, and I suspect it might have something to do with the dragon crusade." The purple-haired middle-aged man who was a little younger on the side spoke next, this is the new leader of the Eighty Warriors Mercenary Regiment, Gur, as for the former leader, he died during the crusade against the dragon...... That's why he was the first to associate these strange things with the dragon crusade.
The remaining one was the last mercenary group, the leader of the Releigh Mercenary Group, Main. Reilly, a pale pink-haired, blue-eyed woman, was also the new leader of the regiment, the former leader of which was her father, and like the one of the Eighty Warriors, died in the dragon crusade.
At this time, Mai Yin was silent, mainly because she was young and had little right to speak, so she couldn't speak.
"What you said makes sense, it should be the cause of that accident, I am even guessing that the half-dead dragon has become a first-layer city lord." Qingke smiled, obviously he didn't believe this sentence himself, and some witnesses said that seeing the dragon fly away from the dungeon, "But no matter what, this situation is not a good thing for our three mercenary groups." ”
The other two nodded in unison.
Originally, they could rely on their rich experience to transform into a tour guide business in this change. However, since there were many strange things in the basement level, their previous dungeon experience was no longer useful, or rather, it was useless in the eyes of outsiders, and there were naturally fewer people willing to hire them to lead the way.
And hunt dungeon monsters as usual...... Not to mention that there are many monks and meat, their strength is not outstanding, and if they make a slight mistake, they will offend those large mercenary groups.
Therefore, there are only two ways in front of the three mercenary groups: dissolve on the spot, or merge into a large mercenary group, so that they can have the strength to fight against other mercenary groups.
"So......" Qingke then proposed the idea of merging, and the other two looked hesitant.
"Make a decision quickly, or there will be only one way left to disband." Qingke sighed.
"It's okay to merge, but what advantages do we have after the merger?"
Mei Yin, who had not spoken, spoke at this time, "Have the two uncles thought about this question, if we can't achieve a certain advantageous position in a short period of time after the merger, such a large team will become a burden?" ”
Qingke and Gur were breathless, obviously not thinking about this problem.
It is true that the merger can get a breath of life, but if it can't be made within this time, I am afraid that it will only end up being separated.
And just as the room fell silent, a mercenary covered in blood rushed in.
The three were alarmed.
"Captain, we found this on the basement floor!" The mercenary who broke in hurriedly took out a drawing from his bosom and spread it out and placed it on the conference table.
"This is ......" Qingke glanced at the drawings and was slightly moved.
"This is what we snatched from someone else!" The mercenary had a murderous intent on his face.
This morning, when they went down to the dungeon, they found several teams of people snatching a treasure chest guarded by monsters, and they joined the battle without saying a word, and finally fought their way out of the siege and successfully snatched the contents of the treasure chest from these people, which is this drawing.
A ...... Detailed drawings of the second basement floor!
On top of that, it marked one thing that Danjue City had been looking for...... The second basement floor, the castle lord's castle!
Although humans can already go down to the sixth floor underground, it is only through a small tunnel to go deeper, and everywhere they go is only a small part of the lower floors, and they are all dead ends.
Only by defeating the city lord and opening the gate under the castle can the human race truly open the road to the third floor, commonly known as the main gate!
The road behind the main entrance could theoretically lead to any place on the third floor, including the three-story castle.
In fact, there have been many people looking for the castle lord on the second floor, but unfortunately the second floor is too big, and there are intricate tunnels and caves, so the castle has never been found.
If the three of them can take the castle......
At this moment, this thought appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time.
When the time comes, they can maintain the operation of the mercenary group by collecting travel fees and venue fees, or sell them at a high price......
The money obtained is enough for the three regiments to achieve common prosperity, and they can eat and wait for death for the rest of their lives.
"Will there be fraud?" Gur quickly calmed down and analyzed the problem, "Think about it, why do the drawings on the second floor appear on the first floor?" And what did you just say? Treasure chests? How do you look at this thing, it looks like a man-made product? ”
As soon as Gur said this, Qingke also calmed down, after all, they are all characters who came out of the deceitful environment of the dungeon.
"Actually, we don't have to worry about these things, we just send scouts and go to this place to have a look? The castle is so big, it can't be fake, right? Unless someone can build another one in such a short time. Main had a different view on this.
"My niece is right, maybe there are other things involved, but we don't need to pay too much attention to it, just take this place as soon as possible and declare it ours!" Gorle nodded.
"Crises and risks coexist, since we have no way out, why not gamble!" Qingke's eyes shine.
So, after the three of them comforted the injured member, they began to discuss matters related to the two-story castle.
At the other end, Lu Qi lay on top of Xiao Hei's head and came to a morgue.
", those humans are really going to attack the second basement floor like you said?" Little Black pushed his head.
"Yes." Lu Qi said with great certainty.
Yes, that second-layer drawing was put out by him.
Of course, he didn't know where the two-story castle was, but the old snail did! So I marked the location of the castle.
A drawing marking the location of the castle lord on the second floor of the basement is definitely a valuable treasure map for the humans outside.
Because the kingdom has always had a rule, whoever occupies the enemy's castle, city, or stronghold, that place belongs to that person, so as to motivate the generals to fight the enemy bravely.
In the same way, the castle of the city lord of the dungeon is naturally also counted, as long as someone can capture this place, according to the laws of the empire, this place is his.
And a castle is worth a lot of money in itself, not to mention that it is also a formal entrance to the third basement level, a natural checkpoint.
Therefore, the human race will definitely find trouble with the second-story city lord in this castle.
"Oh, I really don't understand, you want people to stay on the first floor, and you want humans to go to the second floor to crusade against the city lord, isn't this contradictory?" Xiao Hei tilted his head, unable to figure out the truth at all.
"These are just small steps in a big plan, and the goals of the calculations are different, and they are not inherently conflicting." Lu Qi jumped off the dog's head and jumped onto the table in the morgue, "You go get busy first." By the way, tell Shred, you can almost let the skeleton monster wear good equipment and go to a crowded place to die, and by the way, the treasure chest project can also begin. ”
After speaking, Lu Qi faced the corpse and practiced the magic of summoning the undead.
"Okay." Xiao Hei nodded, and left the morgue full of questions, looking for the little skeleton.
Lu Qi practiced his skills while thinking, perfecting, and completing his next plan.
Judging from the current situation, several phased plans have achieved quite good results, and the flow of people on the basement floor has obviously increased a lot.
When there are more people, there will naturally be more disputes. As the number of fuses arranged by Lu Qi increases, adventurers will inevitably start fierce battles around the money, equipment, and treasure chests dropped by monsters, and casualties are inevitable.
Wait for the adventurers to be killed or injured, and then send a group of monsters to harvest human heads.
In this way, the day is not far from launching the challenge of changing floors!
