Su Wen soon became unhappy.

As Xiao Shi said, except for Gollistan, who came to apply on the first night but almost got into a fight, until the sun went down the next day, not even a single adventurer came.

Poor Su Wen has been in a vacant position for more than ten hours, his butt is almost smoking, and the recruitment plan has not made the slightest progress.

The self-confidence that Goristan's appearance brought to Su Wen was finally almost polished, and he realized that no one would come if it continued like this, and he was completely wasting his time.

"But I still can't figure it out, with generous treatment and relaxed conditions, even if the applicant is not in the limelight, he shouldn't even have a figure like now!"

Su Wen was not reconciled.

"That's why Dad really doesn't understand people's hearts, especially women. ”

Xiao Shi, who was drinking juice on the side, glanced at him and said. Unlike Su Wen, who was about to suffer from anxiety, in the past ten hours, she had leisurely drunk all kinds of high-end drinks worth hundreds of gold coins, and the weight could be almost calculated in tons, but the volume had not increased much. Except for the fullness of the chest*, there is hardly any change to be seen, and I don't know where the drinks that were drunk have gone.

"Tsk, you have big breasts, you can talk about it. ”

"Hmph, I can't bear it anymore, since Dad asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy why there is no one who comes. Xiao Shi said proudly, "First of all, Dad made a mistake from the very beginning, you kept saying that the requirements for recruitment were not high, but it was your 'low' conditions that drove away all the qualified candidates." ”

"How?"

"First of all, a large part of the mercenaries above the second rank of gold have been absorbed by the major mercenary groups, and they have a tacit team, among which the female mercenaries who have reached this rank are even more sought-after goods in the major mercenary groups, and the young and beautiful ones are even rarer. Therefore, there is no shortage of mercenaries in Grobal City, and at least 200,000 of the 500,000 people here are mercenaries, of which there are thousands of people above the second stage of gold, but Dad, your first condition excludes the vast majority of them. ”

"It's true that many high-level mercenaries have their own teams, something I didn't take into account before. But even if seventy percent of them have a fixed team, among the remaining thousands of people, a lot of them will be eligible for the situation, right?"

"This is a matter of wording, the conditions attached to the mercenary recruitment announcement often become an important factor in whether the mercenaries are reliable in evaluating the recruiter. Dad, you wrote some requirements that were not related to the mission, and the purpose of the team's adventure was vague, only revealing that they might have to go to the Longshan Mountains, and any mercenary would feel that he was not respected when he saw it. Especially the female mercenaries who have reached this height, each of them has their own arrogance, and after reading your recruitment requirements, they have already restrained themselves from coming to you to trouble and beat you, let alone coming to recruit. That's right, Dad's offer is indeed very generous, and the weekly salary of two thousand gold coins is the highest grade in almost all recruitment announcements, and it is very attractive to mercenaries who are in urgent need of money, but have you considered that how many of the young and beautiful female mercenaries above the second stage of gold who can meet the requirements will be really short of money?"

"I think Gollistan is pretty short of money. ”

"So is there a second one!"

"At the moment, it seems that there is no ......"

Xiao Shi hated iron and said: "That's right, now that you know what the problem is, let's think carefully about how to change it, don't underestimate the mercenary profession!"

Su Wen pondered for a moment.

After a long time, he nodded thoughtfully, "I know what to do." ”

"It's good to know, but Dad, I have a sentence that I have been holding back for a long time and don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Then don't talk about it. ”

"This time, we went to Dragon Mountain to absorb the elemental energy left behind by the Elder Dragon Incarnation, right? This kind of thing is a great deal from any point of view, is it really good to let outsiders join in like this? Not to mention that if we have Dad's equipment, the two of us can exert the total firepower of more than ten or even 100 mercenary groups, even if we really lack firepower and need foreign aid to join, but it is not necessarily necessary to pull outsiders in like this. ”

"So didn't I say don't talk about it!"

"Oh, don't care about these details, I'll ask sooner or later anyway. ”

"Well, since you have asked sincerely, then I will be merciful to tell you. Su Wen said helplessly, "As I told you, there are three elemental lords of water, fire, and earth on Dragon Mountain, and they are incarnated from the dragon soul of the ancient dragon king Huberion. Among them, the two major elemental lords of water and fire have been fighting to the death for thousands of years, while the earth elemental lords have been in a deep sleep, whether it is the fight between the first two or the foreign intruders, they have always taken a blind attitude, so almost no one knows about the existence of the earth elemental lords. I took a look at the information of Grobal City in the past two days, and sure enough, any information only mentions that the biggest threat to the Longshan Mountain Range is the two elemental lords with the strength of the Great Magister, not three, and I suspect that even the Church of Light itself is not 100% sure of the existence of the earth elemental lords. ”

Xiao Shi rolled his eyes: "Since everyone doesn't know, how does Dad know?"

"It's a trade secret. ”

Su Wen snorted.

"Of course, this is not over, if you pay close attention to the history of Longshan, you will find that the Church of Light did not withdraw from the victory willingly, but because they were afraid. So what kind of powerful force would make the expeditionary force with dozens of Great Magister-level combat power feel afraid, so that even in the next thousand years, they didn't even dare to set foot in Longshan for half a step again? With the support of 10,000-year-old ice and underground lava, the two major elements of water and fire are certainly extremely powerful, but I am afraid that they are far from being so powerful that even the Church of Light is extremely fearful, so what really scares them is the remaining Earth Elemental Lords hidden deep underground. ”

Speaking of this, Su Wen paused before continuing: "It's not a secret, the strength of the Earth Elemental Lord is far from being able to defeat you and me with our current strength, not to mention calling a few high-level mercenaries who are not even at the level of the Great Magus, even if it is increased tenfold, it will not be able to turn the storm at all." The Earth Elemental Lord represents the earth, and stepping on the Longshan Mountain Range is equivalent to standing on its body, such a powerful existence, maybe only when I am miraculous and sacrifice the Star Destroyer Cannon can I fight against it. But no matter how powerful it is, as long as it doesn't give it a chance to make a move, it's no different from non-existence. ”

"Since you can't fight horizontally and vertically, what's the need to recruit people!"

Su Wen shook his head: "No, it's necessary." The Earth Elemental Lord is not really ignorant of the world, on the contrary, it is the one that truly retains part of the memories of the Elder Dragon King, which is completely different from the two elemental lords of water and fire that have incarnated as beasts. The reason why it never appeared was because Longshan never encountered a subversive crisis again, such as the original Church of Light's nationwide expedition, and for example, ...... When the other two elements are threatened with mortality. So do you think that when we, as outsiders, turn our minds to the Fire and Water Elemental Lords who are fighting each other, will it remain silent as before?"

Xiao Shi seemed to have thought of something.

"So you need to make it really sleep, right?"

"Clever. ”

"But this is easier said than done, what is the practical way to do it, if it is really that easy, there is no need for us to do it, I am afraid that the Church of Light would have already taken action. ”

Su Wenbra said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already prepared." When the time comes, we will go deep into Longshan, and before the Earth Elemental Lord perceives the crisis, we will let it really sleep before it wakes up, and then divide the troops into two ways, I will go to direct contact with the Elemental Lord, and you will be responsible for standby and doing some auxiliary work. There will definitely be a shortage of people if it's just the two of us, so it's absolutely right to add some capable adventurers, as long as they don't get into the core of the plan. ”

"If that's the case, that's true, but I'm still a little worried. Xiao Shi still didn't seem to be able to completely put his mind at ease, "According to my understanding of this continent, the Church of Light can be regarded as the strongest force in the whole continent, and even they can't solve problems for hundreds of thousands of years, where does Dad have the confidence to do it?"

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

Su Wen obviously didn't intend to dwell on it now.

......

......

Before nightfall, Su Wen went out for a trip, saying that he had learned from the pain and decided to learn the lesson of failure and revise the recruitment announcement, leaving a small history of indulging in juice and unable to extricate himself.

Only half an hour later, he returned satisfied.

And almost as soon as he entered on the front foot, the mercenaries who had come to apply crowded the door of the hotel. For a while, it became as lively as a vegetable market, and a large number of glittering high-ranking mercenaries gathered inside and outside the door, most of whom were women. Such a spectacular scene frightened the shopkeeper and other customers so much that they thought that a large brawl had broken out.

Su Wen directly used the high-end guest room where they were located as an interview venue, set up two tables and chairs, and asked Xiao Shi to arrange for the candidates to line up for interviews, and he sat in it as an interviewer.

Such a scene made Xiao Shi also dumbfounded.

She feels like she's seen a ghost now, no matter how much Su Wen wakes up, the development of things into such a warm scene in front of her is something she didn't expect at all, in her expectations, even if Su Wen is sincere in his words and has a good attitude, the number of people who come to apply for recruitment will definitely not exceed one-tenth of what he is now! What evil means did this person perform?!

With curiosity and unwillingness, Xiao Shi finally couldn't help but raise the doubts in his heart.

Su Wen's answer was simple.

"Oh, I just added an extra zero to the pay. ”
