Chapter 5: Hire, Reloading the Ogre
Early in the morning, when the sky was still chaotic, the master bedroom of the Zhu family's mansion.
Autumn Moon Shirley, who had been tossed all night, had a bright red color like roses all over her body, and she was asleep deeply, with a pale white trace on the corners of her pink lips and mouth, and the girl murmured dreams from time to time.
The girl with long black hair was wearing a dark purple gauze pajamas, revealing most of her breasts and slender jade legs, and she helped her brother wear crimson wizard robes.
The girl's expression was a little depressed, and her beautiful eyes revealed a sense of reluctance.
"Okay, Xue Nai, this time is indeed not suitable for you and Shirley, the Fourth Realm is too dangerous for you. He stroked the girl's face with the palm of his hand and watched as she tied each button for herself with great care.
"Xue Nai knows, Xue Nai is not angry with my brother, I am just angry with myself, if I am already a legendary wizard, my brother can actually take us there, right? If it weren't for my drag, Xue Li could actually accompany you to the Fourth Realm on an adventure, and now because of my sister, my sister has to share it with my brother, she was so obsessed with you last night...... It's all my sister's fault. She went around her back and hugged her beloved man, and after a while, the girl let go of her hands.
"Brother, please go early and come back early, my sister and I are both people who can't survive alone without you. ”
"How can it be as exaggerated as you say, you and Shirley are already third-order wizards. Okay, okay, I promise you. Seeing Qiu Yuexue Naili showing a look like a small animal being injured, Zhu Peng's heart softened, and he hurriedly comforted him.
Qiu Yue Xue Nai Li sent Zhu Peng to the gate of the mansion, and she watched the carriage drive away before turning around and returning to the mansion.
(In the big house without my brother, the air is lonely.) Lying back in the master bedroom, where the strong smell of love remained, Xue Nari picked up the quilt and sniffed it deeply, before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
And Zhu Peng, who was sitting on the carriage, after reciting a strange syllable, the crimson robe on his body spread out a circle of magic pattern circuits, and then the weight and high temperature of thousands of catties evenly covered every part of Zhu Peng's body: custom robes, ancient blood flame stone robes.
After the average legendary wizard wears this stone robe and starts it again, he will be directly pressed into meat puree, but Zhu Peng will not, the heavy pressure and the astonishing high temperature will make his physique stronger and stronger, and even because this robe simulates the living environment of the earth and fire Ying Dragon, the ancient Ying Dragon blood in Zhu Peng's body will become more and more effective over time because of the effect of this robe.
At that time, Zhu Peng had a legendary armor "Isenhard's Outer Shell" It is also known as the appearance of the mountain, which is used to assist it in exercising its physique, but with the improvement of its own cultivation and physical fitness, the weight of the armor gradually cannot play the role of exercise, so Zhu Pengtuo spent a lot of money to privately customize this ancient blood flame stone robe, its own amazing defense is still secondary, Zhu Peng values its forging effect all the time, when fully adapted to the gravity and high temperature of this ancient blood flame stone robe, his own cultivation should have been refined and complete, and he can impact the position of the fourth-order demigod.
Sitting on the carriage, closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Zhu Peng took out a witchcraft book from the drawer on the side and flipped through it, the effect of the ancient blood flame stone robe only acted on his person, so the carriage did not collapse.
About twenty minutes later, Zhu Peng came to the Professionals' Guild, and when he got out of the car, a balding fat man jumped from the height of the Professionals' Guild and fell into bloody mud with a bang.
"After all these years, the way the Professionals' Guild welcomes people hasn't changed at all. Looking at the bloody mud in front of him, Zhu Peng strode into the Professionals Guild with an expressionless face, and behind him there were specially arranged personnel to quickly clean up the body and clean up the scene.
The Professionals' Guild also has a part-time function in the stock market, and every day someone gets rich here overnight, or conversely, the balding fat man just now is one of the people in turn.
The episode just now did not attract Zhu Peng's attention, and he walked into the VIP room of the Professional Guild with a silver-gray luxurious wand inlaid with skeletons, where there were already three men and three women, a total of six people waiting.
"Lord Commander, subordinate Yanagi Suizuki. "The only woman with an oriental face among the six stepped forward, she was holding a katana, her surname was Liu Sheng, but when she saluted, it was a fist salute of Chinese warriors, and Liu Sheng Shuiyue did it very naturally and fluently, obviously she was used to it.
"When you're away from home, you don't need to be so troublesome every time, just call me Rhodes. As he spoke, Zhu Peng's gaze moved over the Dongying female swordsman to the other five men and women in the room.
The most powerful and vigorous breath is a young man with a resolute and righteous face covered in plate armor, of course, in terms of appearance, from the perspective of qi, blood and bone age, Zhu Peng feels that this guy is at least a hundred years old.
And then the weaker one was a woman in magical leather armor, blonde hair and a bow, a pretty woman, but her cheeks were a little scary after the horrible tattoos.
Of course, this is also her original purpose, to survive as an adventurer, some women like to take advantage of their natural advantages as women, while others are diametrically opposite, they are typical representatives of women who are ruthless and have nothing to do with men.
The remaining two steel-armored men were almost the same as the woman wearing a black tight-fitting suit with extremely white skin, and judging from the spirit aura that overflowed around them, they belonged to the same level of existence.
"Flowers and Wine Squad, one of the most elite adventurer squads in the Dark World, your mission is to protect me from researching the current situation in the Fourth Realm, please be sure to protect my safety with your life, because if I die, there will be no better way out for the five of you than to become Fallen. As he spoke, Zhu Peng took out a scroll from his robe and threw it over, and was grabbed by the knight with the strongest breath.
"How can you be sure that we will take this deal? We don't seem to know each other before, and we don't have any friendship to speak of. ”
"Because I offered two hundred golden magic stones, this is a price you can't refuse. Of course, you can also refuse, and then I'll go to another team. "Ordinary wizard apprentices, formal wizards, generally use broken, cracked, and ordinary magic stones as trading currency, because magic stones have the effect of improving meditation and replenishing magic power, so they are the most valuable constant equivalent in the wizarding world.
The golden magic stone is a unit that only legendary wizards will use, because the magic power it provides is far more refined than the magic power provided by ordinary magic stones, and the same unit of magic power is several times the effectiveness of ordinary magic stone units, so it is often used by legendary wizards to purify magic or break through bottlenecks.
It is completely priceless in the market, and it is not a descendant wizard of the Powerful Wizard Academy, so there is no way to obtain it at all, and Zhu Peng is a descendant spy of the Hand of the Prison, he has a certain quota every year, but he doesn't need it at all, he is in the battleship of the Earth Fire Witch Tower, and the magic power transformed by the demigod reactor is even more refined.
Therefore, for Zhu Peng, the golden magic stone has really been stored a lot in the past ten years, and it will not give birth to cubs if it is left in his hand.
Sure enough, when the price of two hundred "Golden Magic Stones" appeared, the knight captain and the leather-armored bow woman beside him both changed their expressions.
“...... Venerable Wizard Master, our team needs to discuss, can we go out for a while?" the knight said after a moment's hesitation, clenching the leather scroll in his hand.
"Of course, you can take a closer look at the contents of the contract, and if it's okay, sign it, and then we'll go to the Professionals' Guild to log in to the Witch Net for justice. He made a gesture of please with one hand, and then Zhu Peng sat on the chair behind him and gasped slightly. Just started to wear this ancient blood flame stone robe, even if you stand for a while, you will feel tired enough, of course, the effect of the exercise will become excellent because of this.
Seeing Zhu Peng sit down with both hands on the luxurious magic battle inlaid with skeletons in his hands, a gleam flashed in the knight captain's eyes, and then he led his subordinates to another room.
"Lord Commander, I really haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't imagine that after the last adventure together, there would be a chance to continue to receive your guidance. "I haven't seen him for many years, and Yanagi Suiyue is more feminine than in the past, different from the gentle and dignified traditional Yamato concubine of Akizuki Yukinari, Yanagi Suiyue's temperament is soft and rigid, revealing a sense of rigidity and softness that belongs to a female swordsman.
"This time, I have to trouble you to take care of my daily life, I am wearing this robe to exercise my body, and my movement is somewhat inconvenient at the beginning. Zhu Peng lifted his red-robed robe with two fingers and said, Liu Sheng Shuiyue had also seen herself wearing "Esenhard's Outer Shell" back then, so she could not understand it.
"This is my honor, if I hadn't followed you on the adventure back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to break through to the realm of the Legendary Martial Sect in this life, by the way, are the Qiuyue sisters okay? There are also the three fathers and daughters of the Ma family. ”
"Sister Qiuyue and I are together, and they should be quite superior and comfortable, Ma Qianrong, Ma Yongzhen's father and daughter, I haven't seen each other for many years, but they also have occasional video contact, and they are doing well. Of course, life is good, because of Zhu Peng's relationship, Charlotte arranged a pretty good fat difference for Ma Qianrong's father and daughter, but because life can be stable and superior, the Ma family's father and daughter are not willing to run around with Zhu Peng anymore, so the contact is gradually decreasing.
Now that they have settled in a world enslaved by wizards, they have a bit of a desire to prosper as a Ma bloodline family.
Zhu Peng chatted with Liu Sheng Shuiyue for about half an hour, and then the five members of the Flowers and Wine Professionals team pushed the door and walked in.
"Venerable Wizard Rhodes, our team is willing to accept your employment. But, before we sign this contract, can we see the strength of you and your entourage?" said the words of the professional squad leader, very tactfully, but the meaning of the connotation was understood by all those present.
Everyone goes out with their heads to beg for a living, if you are strong, of course we are willing to take you, if you are too weak, no amount of money will be given to you. After all, although money is good, it is cost-effective to earn it and spend it.
"Yes, if you don't ask for that, I'll doubt your professionalism. Five minutes later, a group of seven people appeared in the internal arena of the Professionals' Guild.
A place like the Professionals' Guild not only needs an arena, but also such facilities and venues must occupy a considerable proportion, and the gathering of professionals who lick their blood, whether it is disputes, grievances, or others, often need the arena.
"Lord Wizard, I'll have a competition with you, a retinue. "A short-haired female black assassin wearing a black bodysuit and extremely white skin has a pair of tiger claw blades extending from her hands, but it is a pair of strange weapons with sharp blades in her gloves, and such weapons must have a unique set of methods to inflict enough damage on monsters that are often huge.
"Shuiyue, let's get off the field, it is also necessary to fully understand the strength of your teammates before taking risks. With Zhu Peng's words, Liu Sheng Shuiyue jumped into the arena, compared to the female assassin's vigor, Liu Sheng Shuiyue's body revealed a lightness of control.
The martial arts of professionals are often simple, pure and effective, while the martial arts of the Chinese Warrior Association often pay attention to a higher degree of control, and the power carried by the human body has its own upper limit, if it cannot be effectively mastered, it is naturally difficult to form a strong destructive force, which is derived from the martial arts view of the empty demon era, and this view is valuable even in the current era of unlimited human body carrying power.
"Let's do it together, who will test my level?" As he spoke, a raging flame erupted from Zhu Peng's body, and the next moment the fire vortex flew down into the arena and contracted, once again becoming a red-robed wizard, the elemental incarnation ability, and the more classic life-saving and escape spells of the sorcerer.
"I'll come, strong fourth-order knight, Ishedi, please give me advice. There seemed to be a halo flickering under his feet, and the next moment of teleportation, the captain of the Flowers and Wine Professional Squad, Ishudi, appeared on the arena, as Zhu Peng's practice opponent, he drew his one-handed sword and held the kite-shaped triangular shield, showing a serious and all-out attitude.
"Let's go. ”
Because this was a private gladiatorial fight, and the referee of the Professional Guild was not invited, because it was announced by the blonde woman outside the arena, it was somewhat caught off guard.
And Ishudi obviously had a tacit understanding with the blonde woman, he launched a charge from the other side of the arena at the moment when the other party's voice fell, the pale white aura under his feet flickered and the speed was faster and faster, the strong fourth-order professional charged on foot alone, and he rushed out of the prestige and fierceness of an iron cavalry regiment, and the group that could become the first-rate among tens of millions of professionals would certainly not be weak.
On the other side of the arena, Zhu Peng pushed forward with his left hand, and the earth waves on the ground floated, slapping towards the heavily armored knight like a sea tide.
And the aura under Ishudi's feet suddenly turned red, and a flame-like fighting force rose up around him, and finally condensed on the long sword and slashed out, and the earth wave was cut by this blazing sword, but Ishudi, who rushed through the rocky earth waves, bumped into the red-robed wizard head-on, but two meters and nearly three meters, surrounded by heavy skull steel armor, with a skull shield in his left hand and a blue-skinned one-eyed fat man with a white iron mace in his right hand.
The blue fat man held the shield in front of his chest in his left hand, and the white iron mace in his right hand smashed down.
Bang!
The sound of gold and iron clashing resounded throughout the field, although Ishudi blocked the heavy blow with a kite-shaped triangular shield in time, but his person was knocked backwards like a baseball, but this is nothing, the strength gap between Ishudi and the one-eyed ogre Tris is huge, even if he was caught off guard, but the blow that Tris tried his best to hurt Ishudi was still not enough.
What really gave the demon knight a headache was that the red-robed wizard behind the one-eyed ogre had already flown up and waved his wand, summoning a large area of black and red gravity fire bats, dozens of gravity fire bats haunting the wizard flying and chirping, and the next moment with the finger of the wand, he besieged Ishedi.
At the same time, the ogre Terus below Zhu Peng also roared and rushed towards the opponent, and with a muffled boom, it was really like a heavy armored vehicle.
While casting the spell, Zhu Peng also had leisure to watch the performance of the ogre Teris below, this blue fat was given to him by the second lady of the former Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment Di Nadar, the girl now just wants to impact the wizard realm as soon as possible, and she can't even take care of herself, of course, she doesn't have time to cultivate this ogre with excellent potential and talent.
And Dinadal now has no mind of the past, she now just wants to be a stable and down-to-earth white wizard, although Teris has naturally advanced to the third order, but in the hands of Dinadal there is no possibility of being promoted to a legendary pet, under the combination of many reasons, finally Dinadal decided to give Teris to Zhu Peng for training, the girl's words at that time still lingered in her ears, some sadness, some self-pity:
"This child, through your cultivation back then, showed outstanding potential, but you put it into my hands only delayed it for fifty years, Teris is in my hands, it is really abolished, I love it, but I can't take care of it. "Two years ago in the Zhu family's mansion, Lan Chubby was playing with the dark god who had not seen each other for many years, for the two of them, the years that they had not seen each other in fifty or sixty years were like five or six hours, and it did not affect the relationship between them at all.
This blue-skinned ogre with the blood of an ancient cyclops, after falling into the hands of Zhu Peng for two years, gradually recovered from the state of domestic pets to be strong and violent, and today's Zhu Peng is already wealthy, he directly found a mid-level legendary suit for Teris, because it is extremely compatible with the blood inheritance and attributes of the ogre, it can almost be said that Teris is blessed to the legendary level.
The overall stats have skyrocketed, and as Teris is truly promoted to become a Legendary Demon Pet in the future, its overall strength will also be increased by the same amount.
At this time, the female assassin on the other side had already separated the result from Yanagi Shuiyue, the female assassin's tiger claws covered Yanagi Shuiyue's neck, but Yanagi Shuiyue's katana also maintained a downward slashing action, staying on the forehead of the female assassin, both of them were in each other's eyes, seeing the confidence of victory, and vaguely eager to try, but the two girls chose to stop at the same time after a moment of respite, just practicing hand fighting, and did not necessarily distinguish between strength and weakness.
...............
The meaning of ice and coldness suddenly spreads out.
The gravitational fire bats that surrounded the Ishudi knights suddenly exploded and shattered in this extreme cold, they themselves were energy creatures composed of earth and fire elemental particles, and when the extreme cold extinguished the flames, the body composition of the gravity fire bats would become very unstable, and the destruction and collapse would become natural.
It's not just these summoned energy creatures, even the chubby Blue Fat Teres who struck fiercely pounced, the armor around his body was quickly covered with a layer of frost, and even every step of this giant beast's running had to fight against the frost and snow on the ground...... An aura of ice spread from the Knight of Ishdi's feet, far more powerful than the aura of vitality and fire that had preceded it.
"My lord, I don't want to hurt your demon pet, this is the end of the test, right?" parryed Terex's stubborn attack with his shield sword, but he showed a light-weight attitude, obviously relying on this demon pet that was not a legend in nature, it was difficult to cause enough pressure on the strong fourth-order demon knight.
"You're satisfied? Okay, then let's stop fighting. Slowly landed, Zhu Peng waved his left hand, and the white iron skeleton reloaded Teris disappeared in an instant on the slave soul ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and now Zhu Peng has two rings on his left hand, one is a storage space ring worn on the left index finger, and the other is a slave soul ring obtained from the Chinese Warriors Association, which is a higher level than the one he gave to Ma Qianrong back then, but it is the adventure harvest of a disciple of the Chinese Warriors Association, he can't use it, so he exchanged it for the sect for offerings, and then was accepted by Zhu Peng.
Harvesting this ancient slave soul ring, Zhu Peng only paid to guide the disciple in some martial arts, not to mention any effort at all, the disciple was still very happy, and in the end, Zhu Peng really did not bear it, and gave him a second-order titanium pole body strengthening, and now this kid is a small leader in the branch, and he considers himself a descendant of the Iron Wing Flying Tiger, and he is actually rampant, although Zhu Peng has completely forgotten the name of this disciple who is not very talented.
After the test, both parties expressed their satisfaction, and then everyone had a light meal together at the Professionals' Guild, and got to know each other during the dinner.
The "Flowers and Wine" team led by the strong fourth-order demon knight Ishudi has a total of five people, and he himself is the captain, and his girlfriend Kalan's blonde leather-armored woman is the archer at the pinnacle of legends, and it is also the team's medium and long-range firepower, the main output unit.
The two barbarian warriors, two brothers, Hanu and Deagan, both of whom were fourth-order warriors, were at the forefront of the battle with Ishdi, one was good at dual-wielding and double-axe, and the other was good at two-handed spears, both of them were experienced veteran barbarian warriors.
And the female assassin who fought with Yanagi Suizuki, named Elan Bell, heard that she was still from a wizard family during the dinner, and later she didn't know how to become a professional, and she was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and instant killing of bosses in the team.
In the extreme environment of the Fourth Realm, the importance of reconnaissance is needless to say, as for the instantaneous killing of the boss, it does not mean that it lurks in the past to complete the assassination at the beginning, but when the powerful boss is close to death, it lurks in the past to complete the killing with lightning speed, so as to avoid his dying magnification and make any trouble, which is a tricky and dangerous job.
When Liu Sheng Shuiyue was in the two of them, he said to Zhu Peng that he was confident that he would kill the other party at the cost of his own medium or small losses in a solo situation, and Liu Sheng Shuiyue was quite confident when he said this, and Zhu Peng smiled and didn't say anything.
Because a swordsman and an assassin fight head-on, they have to suffer small or medium losses, which means that once the other party wants to assassinate you, the possibility of you hanging up is quite high, and those explosive techniques that were originally used to deal with large monsters once they successfully hit people...... However, Liu Sheng Shuiyue is from his side after all, and Zhu Peng can't say much about her, so he can only sigh in his heart, after many years, some people have not advanced an inch or even vaguely regressed.
That night, the group spent their last night in the Professionals' Guild before heading to the Fourth Realm.
"Boss, can you kill that wizard? He's so valuable, if you kill him, and make it like a monster, even if the Professionals Guild wants us, it won't be very powerful. In the dark room, Hanu, who still had a simple and honest face during the dinner, said to the two brothers in the shadows.
“...... Although it looks like a very pure plastic wizard, you still have to be careful, legendary wizards are not so easy to kill. At this point, the figure in the shadows paused, and then a moment later he continued:
"Of course, if we kill a legendary wizard and take off the equipment on him, we won't have to worry about it for a hundred or two years. Try him again in the Fourth Realm and see if you can find the right opportunity. "While the Flowers and Wine Squad is conspiring, a man on the other side is saying something similar.
"Shuiyue, don't really get along too well with those mercenaries...... The reason why I deliberately hired this team is partly because their record and overall strength are really good, but partly because I want to find out the degenerates among the high-level professionals, all the members of this flower and wine team are the objects of suspicion, if the relationship is too good, how much will I feel uncomfortable when I kill them, right?"
"Don't worry, Commander, no matter how well I get along with them, as long as you give an order, I will cut them with a knife in my hand, I am the first generation of Dongying. Liu Sheng Shuiyue smiled and said to himself, in fact, the current Chinese Warrior Association, except for those who have successfully promoted to legends and have not died for more than 60 years, where are there any Dongying people in the entire sect, who have either been assimilated by the wizard civilization or assimilated by the Chinese civilization, and some small racial classifications have disappeared so far.
"It's good if you are ruthless. There is a desire to hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, only in this way will the journey seem interesting. Playing with the flames at his fingertips, Zhu Peng sat on the chair and whispered, in the darkness, he was dressed in a red robe, which made the flames at his fingertips even more beautiful.
