Chapter IV Expeditions
"Looks like everyone is here, so let's get started. Without a word of nonsense, after looking around the hall, the mountain elf mage went straight to the point.
The mountain elves don't look very old, that is, twenty-three or fourteen years old, but the age of the elves is a joke for everyone, and no one will take it seriously, and the fact that the elves of twenty or thirty years old have a mouth is how I was a hundred years ago is too common, and judging the age of an elf by appearance is the most stupid behavior.
Just like this mountain elf now, don't look at her age, but her history of learning magic is likely to be longer than the combined age of the two old mages next to her, and it is no wonder that the two old mages followed her respectfully.
Descending the stairs, the mountain elves naturally sat down at the red-haired necromancer's table, while the two old mages felt themselves going to another table next to them. Surprisingly, the necromancer, who looked arrogant and looked at everyone with a condescending look in his eyes, had no problem at all, but just squinted at the mountain elf, not so much in protest as in encouragement.
"I'm Mia, a mountain elf from the Blue Tower, and I'm the initiator of this mission. "The language is concise, the strength is extraordinary, and the expression function is basically lost, this is Shuer's first impression of Mia.
The Blue Tower is not a tower, but a loose spell research institute composed entirely of mages who study destruction spells, and is therefore caricatured by their peers in other schools as the Tower of Calamity.
Each of the core members of the Blue Tower is a powerful mage, at least with gold-level strength, and the most powerful one of them is the chairman of the Blue Tower, who is said to be a hidden human demigod who has broken through the limit of lifespan, and has been in charge of the Blue Tower since two hundred years ago.
There is no hierarchy or binding force in the tower, and these mages meet once or twice a year to share a portion of their research in exchange for points in exchange for services and undisclosed research by others.
Joining the Blue Tower can be said to be the best choice for every elemental mage, after all, the effect of one person's research can never be compared to the division of labor research by multiple people.
"The staff's request has already been written in the mission brief for the Mercenary Guild, and I don't want to say more, but to avoid surprises, I repeat it again. ”
"I need to hire eight to ten gold-tier mercenaries, adventure experience is not important, but there must be a lot of experience in guarding. Whoever has a problem can withdraw now, it is not considered a default. ”
I don't have any experience, it's great, can I go back? Saph looked at Shul with a blank eye, only to find Shul smiling and raising his hand.
"You're the clergyman who joined temporarily and has his own healing arts. "Professional healers are in demand in any team, after all, no one will think that their lives are long, even the mountain elves, who are as cold as rocks, have a much gentler attitude, "Excuse me, which god do you serve?"
"At night, may the light of the outside always accompany you, the seeker of mystical power. "Many mages are just pan-believers in multiple gods, and they believe in the power of magic, Mia is one of them, and Shur doesn't feel the protection of any god in her, so he calls her so, "I am the servant of the Lightless Moon, the battle priest of the Darkmoon Temple, Shul Wright, in the name of the Darkmoon Temple, blessing you and others, holy." ”
"Darkmoon?" Mia searched several times in her theological knowledge before she remembered the name, remembering that it was a small church that excelled in guarding, purifying, and healing, and it fit the bill perfectly.
"Thank you for your blessings, Your Excellency. "He can fight and heal, and he is a rare all-rounder, which makes Shuer a little heavier in Mia's heart, "I don't know if you have any questions?"
"Excuse me, the escort experience you just talked about, is it a camp guard or a transport guard?"
Laymen often confuse camp guards with transport guards, but true veterans know that there is a strict difference between the two in terms of direction of focus and way of dealing with problems, so as soon as Shuer's question is revealed, Mia is much more relieved.
Since Shur and Saf joined temporarily, the mercenary guild in the Temple of the Gods only has a record, unlike the others, there are detailed information on the completion rate of past missions in the local guild, so Mia has been worried about whether this healer can have mission experience, and now she is relieved, the person who can ask this sentence is definitely an experienced veteran, and it seems that there is no problem with this healer joining.
"This mission is quite special, and it is difficult to divide the types of guards, but I will introduce the specific content later. However, it seems that you also have enough experience to be able to handle this commission. ”
"That's good. "After two years of reading books in the library and temple, Shul has just recently mixed up with the ordinary mercenaries of the Rose City on two small missions to understand the basic situation of the Pavadiga mercenary industry, of course, it is impossible to have mercenary experience.
But he didn't lie, in his home world, in order to protect his sister's safety, he personally led the elite warriors of his family, and he didn't know how many escort and guard missions he had performed, and he had more experience than anyone else. Although there are some differences between the two worlds, most of the experience is still the same, so Shul is not worried at all that he is not up to his job, and the key to the problem now is Saf.
"There's another problem, this lady Saf is my guardian, but she doesn't have much experience. ”
You're lying again, when did I become your guardian. Saf wanted to refute like this, but unfortunately, being stared at by the people around her, she had to try very hard to control her urge to hide, and it was too late to refute.
"Guardians, it's okay to join the party. "Many high-level priests who are active outside have melee professions such as warrior knights as guardians, although it is a bit strange for a combat priest to carry a guardian, but it is not unacceptable, so Mia did not doubt it, "However, whether it can be counted as a hired person depends on the actual situation." ”
It's more tactful, but the meaning is very clear, it's no problem for her to follow, but whether it's a reward or not, it depends on whether she can do it.
"Thanks, then I'm fine. Shuer smiled and winked at Saf secretly, don't be delusional, you can follow me honestly.
"Is everyone else okay?" Mia waited a few seconds to make sure no one was asking, and then continued, "Okay, let's talk about the content of this mission." ”
"The mission is located in the western wilderness, which belongs to the wilderness. ”
The Savage Lands are a collective term for the vast world outside the control of intelligent beings, and few intelligent beings have set foot in it. It was a paradise for Warcraft, and it could be said that it was full of dangers, so it was no wonder that Mia would summon so many Gold-level fighters to join at once.
"The goal of the mission is to protect a team of 30 professionals and excavate a relic of a pioneering era. ”
The Pioneer Age was the first golden age of Pavatiga, and pioneers of various races advanced into the wilderness and built a large number of cities. Some cities managed to survive and become the domain of the intelligent beings they are now, but most of them were lost to the depths of the wilderness, as ancient ruins buried beneath the ground.
Some of the ruins are worth excavating, but most of them are nothing special, so digging up the ruins becomes a dangerous gamble, and whether you can get rich overnight depends on luck, or whether there are definite clues.
But these have nothing to do with the hired mercenaries, everyone is concerned about another matter.
"Eight people protecting more than thirty people to excavate the ruins?" the human thief's voice was as shrill as the sound of metal grinding, "You're kidding, even if it's all Golden Tier, it's impossible." ”
"First, I've hired a team of fifty ordinary mercenaries in total, hired locally in the Western Wilderness, and then we'll go over and join them before entering the excavation site, and we can't rely on your high-level mercenaries to protect the workers and professionals. Mia's expressionless voice was as cold as ever, "Second, it's not eight, it's nine, and there is also a high-level mercenary who will meet us directly in the west." ”
"Well, why can he be special?" said the western scimitar warrior, dissatisfied, in a lingua franca with a thick accent, "I have traveled more than 800 kilometers to get here, so why shouldn't he meet here?" ”
"Because I know him, and the mission issued to him in person, without passing the Mercenary Guild, do you have any complaints?"
Of course not, the gold coin is the largest, the employer is always right, whoever dares to say that the employer is wrong, he will be stoned to death with gold coins, this is the world of mercenaries.
"Here's the specific arrangement, give you a few more hours to prepare, set off on time at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and the Blue Tower will be responsible for providing the hedron to teleport everyone to Gravel City in the Western Wilderness and join the large army. ”
"The quest is expected to be completed in one month, and the reward is two hundred gold coins per person, plus a magic scroll of the rain of fire, and if the estimated time is exceeded, an additional reward will be paid proportionally. ”
"After the mission is completed, it is also the Blue Tower that is responsible for sending you back to the Temple of the Gods. Mia suddenly glanced at the stout scimitar warrior, paused and said, "You can also choose to leave on your own, and we will pay ten gold coins as compensation." ”
"If you have the last chance to join or withdraw, and then withdraw, Blue Tower reserves the right to recover liquidated damages from the withdrawer. ”
Now no one has chosen to quit, of course Shuer will not, he has only one thought in his heart, wow, two hundred gold coins, twenty percent more than the normal price, the Blue Tower is really rich.
"There's another question. Suddenly remembering the most important thing, Shuer raised his hand sharply and said, "Can the magic scroll be folded?"
Everyone looked at him with a strange look, but unfortunately, he didn't have the consciousness to be the focus at all.
"Yes, at cost price. ”
Ten times the price difference, what a desperate answer.
