Chapter 1 Huge Entrustment
New World, the eastern port city of Trosi.
Outside the largest auditorium in the middle of the city, there was a lot of people, and as far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of heads of strange shapes.
All adventurers standing outside the auditorium need to go through a qualification check before they can enter, but anyone who has not experienced ten yellow-level dungeons will be turned away, which also makes the adventurers outside indignant.
"Let's go inside! Why can't we accept this commission from those people? What's the big deal about going through a few less Yellow dungeons? ”
"That's it, don't let me in again, be careful that Uncle slams your door!"
"I'm only one hit ten times, isn't that okay?"
"Please, let me in......"
Adventurers of all stripes kept shouting and threatening and pleading, just to enter the Great Hall and get a chance to accept the commission.
It is understandable that they are so crazy, because Mr. Diamask, the lord of Trocy City, recently issued a commission in the adventurer's guild in the entire New World, recruiting two hundred yellow-level adventurers to protect his daughter into a dungeon, and if he can protect his daughter and survive, he will be rewarded with 5,000 gold each.
The entrustment of 5000 gold is not a small amount no matter where you put it, take me as an example, killing the Hulk whose strength has reached the blue level boss is only a reward of 3500 gold, of course, this is also related to the fact that the little naughty and Jax helped a lot.
For adventurers, money cannot be kept, and everyone will use it to strengthen their bodies or 'enjoy life' as soon as they get it, after all, no one knows if the next battle will give them their lives.
There are probably only two ways for adventurers to make money, one is to enter the quest to complete the quest, and the other is to accept commissions in the cities of the New World. It's like fighting the Zerg in Avogadro, every time you survive, you'll get a reward of 2,500 gold, which is more than the average person gets by entering the dungeon twice.
The natives of the New World are different, they can get money through various transactions with 'dungeons' and adventurers, especially the city lords of major cities, and each of them is a master of collecting money, these city lords are big as long as they make a move, and they don't care about the wanton extravagance and waste that people think, this time it is especially obvious, it is said that Dia Musk spent 2 million commissions just because his daughter wanted to experience the feeling of horror.
In fact, I think it's better to spend 10,000 dollars to invite Jax to accompany his daughter for two days, to ensure that this little girl will be scared to pee when she mentions the word horror from now on.
Inside the auditorium, the voices were equally noisy, and the adventurers gathered together to discuss what kind of dungeon they were about to enter to need 200 adventurers, most of them guessed that it should be "The Lord of the Rings" and "Starship Troopers" and other movies with many scenes, of course, a small number of people speculated that it might be "Superman Returns" and other films that would be reduced by ten times.
I sat in the corner sipping a cigar and sipping vodka, not joining in the discussion, which of course probably had something to do with my not being tall and imposing, and no one wanted to be in a relationship with someone who didn't seem very powerful, lest they have to drag themselves down...... Doesn't anyone know that the connotation of a man is king?
When the hall reached almost five or six hundred people, the main entrance of the auditorium slammed shut, the curtain of the skylight slowly lowered, and the whole hall became dark.
After a while, the lights around suddenly turned on, and the strong light pierced people's eyes, and most people subconsciously closed their eyes or covered their eyes with their palms.
Almost at the same time, chaos erupted in the hall, and the screams of terror from all over the hall resounded one after another. When the adventurers opened their eyes, they found that hundreds of black-clothed people had appeared in the hall, each of them had a red pen in their hands, and most of the adventurers they were facing had a red line on their clothes.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked very stable on the stage walked out, cleared his throat and said: "You don't have to panic, just do a test just now, see if you are vigilant enough to join the team to defend our young lady, because as a bodyguard, the most important thing is to stay calm in unexpected situations and not let the enemy get close, so all friends who have been drawn a red line on their bodies are obviously too vigilant." Now that the results of the test are out, please leave your friends who don't have red lines on your clothes, and please leave here for the rest. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
"I protest! Who knew there would be a sudden attack in this auditorium? In normal times, a hundred of these guys wouldn't be able to get into me! A white-haired man with stubble on his face shouted loudly, pointing his finger at the man in black across from him.
His words caused a lot of agreement around him, everyone felt that such an attack was too sudden, and after all, this was a city, and no one was too wary.
The middle-aged man coughed into the microphone and said, "Everyone, it's not me who strikes you, the black-clothed people in front of you are the city lord's special escort, and each of them only has the skills of orange-level adventurers, but this is the kind of person who has done nothing thrilling on your group of yellow-level adventurers, how can you let the city lord rest assured that the young lady will teach you?" What's more, in the dungeon, seemingly non-threatening times and places, sudden and dangerous situations often occur, and you, as experienced adventurers, should know this, so no matter how powerful you are, if you don't have superhuman vigilance, you are not qualified to serve as a bodyguard, after all, a failure of a bodyguard will be related to the safety of your employer. Everyone, please come back! ”
"Just kidding! So many of us have red threads on them, and once the surname drove us away, there are only a few left, do you have to choose your two hundred bodyguard candidates from the group of rookies outside? A female vampire asked aloud.
"Of course not," the middle-aged man smiled very kindly: "Before this, we have recruited enough seventy-eight people, and there are still a few special adventurers who accept the invitation, so as long as we recruit more than a hundred people, we can meet the requirements of the city lord...... And if you can't recruit today, there will be tomorrow! ”
Before his words fell, a stunned young man shouted loudly: "What is this? I think you're playing tricks on purpose! If you don't give us an explanation today, don't think about it! ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged: "This friend, please note that I am not representing myself, but our city lord, Mr. Diamask." If you feel that your strength can compete with the lord of the castle, then no matter what you do, I will not care. ”
The adventurer was already a fierce and introverted fellow, and when he heard his words, he immediately withered and did not dare to answer again.
As a city lord, when the adventurer launches a civil strife, he can send the best troops in the city to encircle and suppress, and every one of those troops has the level of a yellow-level peak adventurer, and fighting with such a force alone is purely looking for death, so the rest of the people don't dare to say anything, so they can only leave angrily. Of course, there were also people who took off their clothes by their own cleverness, and they were immediately identified by the man in black standing next to them, and they were beaten with sticks.
After the killers left, the hall gradually fell silent, and there were less than fifty people left in the hall, and these people looked at each other, each with worry on their faces.
Sure enough, 5,000 gold is not easy to earn, and everyone is worried about the next 'test'.
After seeing the redundant guys leave, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Okay, next please enter the inner hall, and I will introduce you to the special adventurers entrusted by the city lord." ”
As he spoke, a man in black stood behind him and gently tugged at the corner of his coat, and when he looked in the direction the man in black pointed, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets.
In the corner of the auditorium, a young man dressed in white was sitting on a pile of human flesh, leisurely smoking a cigar.
Where he sat was a mountain of meat made of more than a dozen black-clothed people, and most of these black-clothed people were already dead, only a few black-clothed people who were pressed at the bottom, and there was still a faint breath.
Not far from the boy, several adventurers who had been bragging and farting just now were looking at the boy with the eyes of a monster, their eyes full of fear.
