Before heading to Longshan, Su Wen had one more important thing to do.

Things had progressed faster than expected - the reaction of the two empires was not at all unexpected by Su Wen, but because Xiao Shi did not reach an agreement, he was exempted from arming and training the hundred elite slime warriors, so one of Su Wen's plans failed. This has to be said to be a major loss, even if Xiao Shi is willing to personally incarnate as a self-detonation soldier, it will not help, because for the current Su Wen, he does not lack relatively sophisticated equipment at all, what he lacks is the person who wears the equipment. Xiao Shi obviously didn't plan to send her slime from the beginning, and although she didn't say no outright, she could easily read her attitude from her series of actions, especially her willingness to go into battle herself rather than hand over the proliferate.

That's no.

Su Wen understands that each race has its own taboos, and it doesn't matter how they treat their own proliferations for the Mother Slime, but it would be a great humiliation if their proliferators had to obey the orders of others. So, after realizing that Xiao Shi would not spit out even one proliferator to herself anyway unless she took the initiative, Su Wen completely dispelled this idea, and then the most serious problem in front of him resurfaced, that is, he was very short of manpower now.

To solve this problem, it is clear that resting on one's laurels will not work.

Victoria is the closest mainland country to the Longshan Mountains, and compared to other countries that have established a safe zone, the distance of more than 100 kilometers is almost a stone's throw away. This country is not old, only a few hundred years old, but its economic level can be among the top three in the southern continent. Because it is also known as the land of adventurers - it is bordered by the Barren Land to the north, the Alterac Forest to the south, the ancient tombs to the west, and the Longshan Mountain Range to the northwest.

Su Wen's first stop was here, and he was not in a hurry to go to Longshan immediately. The stakes are too high to be missed, and there is still a lot to be prepared for, the most important of which is to find a few adventurers who can be reused.

After a half-day trek, this legendary country is close at hand.

Probably because of its geographical location, which is often harassed and invaded by monsters and wild beasts, and unlike all other countries, Victoria has developed little agriculture and cannot see the villages dotted around the countryside. Each city here is more like a huge fortress, with mighty and tall walls, and the roads are full of caravans and murderous mercenaries, and most of them are battle-hardened at a glance, and this situation has continued unchanged into the city, which is enough to show how developed Victoria's trade industry is.

Su Wen came to Grobal City, a city in western Victoria, ranking second among the famous twelve cities of Victoria, with a permanent population of 470,000 and an area of nearly 60 square kilometers, it is undoubtedly a super city. According to rough statistics, this city alone could have an economy comparable to that of either of the two previous empires.

Compared with that kind of poor and remote land, this is the real advanced level of the Southern Continent.

This is indeed the case, as soon as he entered the city, Su Wen felt the breath of prosperity rushing to his face. Skyscrapers can be seen everywhere, trading centers for monster materials and weapons and equipment are shoulder to shoulder, and Su Wen even saw a rare air terminal not far away, a huge hot air boat full of goods has just taken off, like a dragon covering the sky and the sun.

Su Wen had only seen a similar grand scene in the Iron Furnace Province of Duolun.

Looks like you've come to the right place.

Victoria's economic backbone is the great wealth brought by the adventurers, and every danger around it is like a huge treasure trove, so the mercenary industry here can be said to be at its peak, unlike those mercenaries who can only do some odd jobs in the comfortable inland cities, in this kind of place, those who are capable will shine and return with a full load in the battle of monsters. Because of this, gold-level mercenaries, which are extremely rare in the interior, are as sparse and ordinary as passers-by in Victoria, and it is easy to see magicians and many alien warriors in strange costumes on the road, which is far from comparable to the fierce city of Mtase, Su Wen wants to find the right manpower, it is really good to come here.

In front of the huge mercenary hall, Xiao Shi complained after finally understanding Su Wen's intention.

"Dad is really excessive, obviously he already has a small history, and he has to go outside to find someone!"

Su Wen knew that this slime mother body obviously didn't want to contact more people, so as not to reveal his identity, but he just sneered: "Then you should satisfy me." I didn't give me any of the 100 proliferators I said, do you plan to let me, the commander of the light pole, go to the front with cannon fodder that can only explode on his own, I can't rest assured of that dangerous place. ”

"Little History will ...... I'll do my best to satisfy my father!"

Su Wen waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you don't have the ability to attack, and self-explosion can only be used as a killer weapon, so if it is not a critical moment, you can rest assured that you can be a mascot." You see, in order to hide people's eyes, I even sacrificed my maid outfit to change your full-coverage plate armor, and I paid such a big price, what are you dissatisfied with about this?"

Xiao Shi was crazy at the time: "That's how I am dissatisfied, how can there be a girl in this world who wears full-body armor that covers her face, bastard father!!, even if it is painted pink, let me out!"

"Don't think about it, be honest. ”

Su Wen is really not in the mood to argue with Xiao Shi now, Grobal City has made him very interested, originally he just planned to find a few suitable mercenaries, and he didn't dare to attach any harsh conditions. But the development of the mercenary industry in this city is beyond his imagination, especially in this open hall measured in hectares, there are thousands of mercenaries gathered at this moment alone, some of them are browsing the mission announcement on the huge light curtain in the center of the hall, some are gathering in the major taverns around the hall to drink, some are gathering in the intelligence center to talk, and some are even fighting in the martial arts arena...... They come from all over the continent, from different races, and the combination of Su Wen and Xiao Shi is as unobtrusive as a drop of water flowing into the sea.

What a grand occasion this is!

Su Wen suddenly felt that in this kind of place, no matter what kind of manpower he needed, he could be easily satisfied.

In this case, of course, there is no need to go hungry.

He dragged Xiao Shi to the mercenary hall on the north side of the mercenary hall, which is a place for employers, as long as they pay a certain fee, anyone can post mercenary missions here, or find members to join the adventurer team. The mercenary hall was as lively as the mercenary hall outside, not only was there a large number of mercenaries soliciting business at the entrance, but it was also crowded inside: agents of major caravans, freelance adventurers, material suppliers, noble knights, rich people, ...... It's easy to find anyone who might post a task, and there are long queues in front of dozens of windows, and the lobby staff inside are busy, and this scene seems to be just a routine that people are used to.

Su Wen didn't intend to do anything remarkable when he came to Victoria this time, not only because it was not like the city of Mtase, where there were no tigers in the mountains, but also because he was awakened by the incident of being choked to death a few days ago. It is true that if he wants to burst out with all his strength now, even the Grand Magister may not be able to withstand it, but it does not mean that he is invincible, if he does not have the auxiliary ability of the cheat system, an unknown legendary assassin can quietly understand himself, and he may not even be able to use this level. There are many things to be awe-inspiring in this world.

There's no good in being over-public.

So he waited in line silently for half an hour before finally squeezing through the crowd to one of the counters......

"Post a task or recruit people?"

The lady in charge of the reception seemed to be so busy that she didn't even want to say a superfluous nonsense.

"Recruitment. ”

Su Wen hurriedly replied.

"Bronze or Silver?"

"Diamond. ”

"Then please show your merchant group certificate or adventurer team certificate, otherwise it won't work. ”

"Huh?!"

It took Su Wen a minute to understand that the highest level of mercenaries that ordinary people can recruit is silver-level, and except for some stinky shameless players who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, the strongest existence at this level is the middle-level knight, which belongs to the pinnacle that ordinary humans can reach, for example, when Su Wen was in Duolun before, he had obtained the mercenary nameplate of the silver second-class class.

Not......

This is not to show that Su Wenyin is shameless, his strength at that time was like that!

All in all, it doesn't matter if you just post a mission, but if you want to recruit mercenaries or mercenary groups for your own use, for various reasons, the twelve cities of Victoria stipulate that you must have a merchant group certificate, or represent a team of adventurers, to be able to recruit gold and diamond mercenaries or mercenary groups. In other words, Su Wen, who can prove that he is a salted fish mercenary who has only performed one mission, cannot find the person he wants through the channels of the mercenary union, unless...... Start by forming a team of adventurers.

And there are many things to do to set up a team of adventurers, not only do you need to pay a lot of security deposits, pass strict identity information audits, and your own mercenary rank has reached the gold level, but also require you to stay in Victoria for more than ten months, these conditions are not only to pay the deposit, Su Wen feels that he is difficult to pass, and he is extremely embarrassed for a while.

Especially when the lady on the other side saw Su Wen's embarrassed face, she directly impatiently ordered the eviction.

"Come back when you're ready, there are many more people in the back, don't waste time. ”

"Disturbed ......"

Su Wen, who was originally enthusiastic, was like being poured a basin of cold water,

It seems that we have to find another way.

Seeing that it was not too early, Su Wen left the hiring hall with Xiao Shi, who was secretly happy, thinking about whether he should settle the dinner first. Naturally, he had to try many exotic beasts that could not be seen anywhere else on the mainland, and although his plan to recruit had setbacks, there was more to him than he had to do here.

But not long after he walked out of the mercenary hall, he suddenly noticed something abnormal, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Stopping and turning around, Su Wen looked at a middle-aged man with an honest face.

Since just now, this person has been focusing on himself, and when he walked out of the employment hall, he followed him immediately, such a strange behavior made Su Wen not vigilant.

Could it be that he was born with the atmosphere of a protagonist, and what trouble did he get into?

However, before he could speak, the middle-aged man greeted him warmly.

"Oh, this gentleman, you've found out. He said enthusiastically, "In order to avoid misunderstanding, then I'll get straight to the point." You must be bothered right now that you can't recruit the people you want, but I'm here to help you a little, for a fee. ”

Su Wen immediately understood what was going on.

"Can you help me find manpower?"

He asked.

"No, no, no, it seems that you are a foreigner, so you don't know, private intermediary behavior is absolutely forbidden in Victoria, it will be a big trouble to be caught, it is not an exaggeration to lose your life, we will not do such a dangerous transaction." But I can help you with the adventurer team, I have a lot of teams here that can be named, and they are all good and inexpensive, and you will be satisfied. ”
