Chapter 332: The Tavern Recruits Teammates
The leader of the robbers lay on the ground, his limbs twitching, hot and wet blood flowing from the wound in his neck, soaking the ground.
The Ghoul Corps had already killed the other robbers, and they were all around the corpses, roaring, reluctant to leave, instinctively eager to devour their entrails and brains, but waiting anxiously without the orders of their masters.
"I don't know what you're attached to? For ghouls, humans are like rations, just like you eat other animals, it's a law of nature. Homer persuaded, "If the corpse is left here, Zuihou will also be gnawed by wild dogs, it is better to feed the ghouls, the brains will be eaten more, and their strength and wisdom will evolve faster." ”
"Forget it, there are outsiders this time, let's eat them next time. "Downton snapped his fingers, the gates of war opened, and the undead returned.
The people in the carriage did not come down, they were really frightened by the crazy bloody attack of the ghouls, and they looked at Downton like another executioner, but fortunately Madeleine did not care.
"Pippen, hurry up and get the contract. Madeleine glanced at Downton's fingers, she felt the magic energy fluctuate, but he was wearing gloves, and the Captain of the Royal Sister didn't see anything.
"Be careful, I have something to do, so I'll go first. ”
Downton didn't plan to be an opera singer, Madeleine's enthusiasm made him give up greetings, turned over directly on the horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and stopped after running more than 20 meters, "Captain Madeleine, there will be a time later!"
"Hey, wait, a chance to become famous is right in front of you, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Madeleine chased after a few steps, but unfortunately the horse was too fast, and galloped with all her might, so that she could not catch up.
"Commander. The contract was taken. ”
Pippen, a tall man, stood in front of Madeleine, nodding his head.
"What's the use of asking for a contract when everyone runs away?" Madeleine glared at her assistant, "Can't you learn to be smart?" I think the troupe has been stumbling all the way because you're a stupid assistant who is so mediocre. ”
Pippen humbly was taught, and the women got out of the car. chattering about the robbery incident just now, they understood that the head of the regiment was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and at most two sentences of scolding, even if they made a big mistake, as long as the members of the regiment did not leave, she would not expel them.
"Hurry up and pack up and go, now Browning is the focus of the entire continent. If we had performed a few classic operas there, our reputation would have spread all over the world. ”
Madeleine bites on the candy and is in high spirits, she has been working hard to make 'Toffee' the No. 1 opera company in the mainland.
Browning's land is not small, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is too little land to cultivate, plus the climate. The annual grain production was pitiful, and the people who did not have enough to eat were forced to leave the principality. So under this vicious circle, the population is getting smaller and smaller, except for the main city of Browning, there is not even a decent city, and a few towns of 1,000 people are already considered good.
Vinisa is one such town with a population of 5,000, thanks to its proximity to a large freshwater lake. In the summer, the townspeople can fish and hunt and accumulate enough catch to survive the winter.
With the discovery of the Lava Realm, a large number of adventurers, mercenary groups, mercenaries, etc. poured into Vinisha Town, which naturally led to trade. A business opportunity has arisen.
The arrival of traveling merchants with a keen sense of smell and various merchant groups has made Vinisha prosper exponentially, just like those towns that have sprung up because of mining, as long as the passage to the lava realm has always existed, Vinisha can not only surpass the main city of Browning, but also become one of the most brilliant cities in the north.
Now there are many grand dukes and kings who are envious of the shit luck of Archduke Browning, although the news of the secret realm has leaked and attracted many pretenders, but just the commercial tax of tens of thousands of gold a day is enough to make him wake up laughing from his dreams.
Most people think that Archduke Browning is stupid, but there are still a small number of people who think that he is wise and stupid, and maybe the news of the secret realm was deliberately leaked out by him.
With the heritage of this principality, it will take too long to discover the value of the secret realm, to be honest, it will take too long, and with the perfect intelligence system of the nine empires, it is impossible to give Browning so much time to explore, so it is better to simply use the influence it brings to build a prosperous city.
As he approached Vinesha, Downton found that the population had grown, and the various caravans of merchants escorted the full load of goods hurriedly passed by on the road, and there was an atmosphere of exuberance, and even the biting cold wind could not cool the smiles on the people's faces.
Even the locals no longer recognize Vinisha as she used to be, because it is now overcrowded, and the image of the depression has changed.
When Downton arrived, he almost lost his mind when he looked at the demons on the street, he was still too late.
Inns, taverns, and houses with civilians had long since been leased out, and adventurers who had nowhere to sleep set up tents outside the town, and planks were erected next to each other, with various team recruitment messages written on them.
"Recruit a Paladin or Cleric of the Fifth Order of War for a salary of one hundred gold per day. ”
"Recruit powerful mages, and the salary can be 30% according to the team's harvest for a week. ”
"I'm Deboro, get out of here, this is human territory!"
The information is so miscellaneous that even racists are interspersed with it, how can orcs not come to get a piece of the pie in such a large secret realm? Besides, the Duchy of Browning does not restrict orcs from entering, so you can see all kinds of orcs here, but the atmosphere is not very good.
Orcs, barbarians, ogres, and trolls and other sub-human races spontaneously established Shili on the east side of the town, and the two sides generally enter the water without violating the river, but after entering the secret realm, fighting is definitely unavoidable.
"Hey, look, which one is a troll, right? My Deboro, although it doesn't look good, but these breasts are really big enough. "It was the first time Downton had seen so many different races, and it was an eye-opener.
Human women have seen too much, and there is always less freshness, which is like those sub-humans, Wolf Wolf Girl, Fox Fox Girl, these are all famous interracial beauties.
"What is this? With the scale of the Lava Secret Realm, you can wait and see, in less than a month, the major elven clans will also come. Homer was used to this kind of scene, "I wonder you can even see the dark elves and the dragon maiden!"
"No, aren't the slave hunters dying happy?" Downton was stunned.
"Happy, you're so easy to catch as an elf, don't people have the strength to venture into the human realm?" Homer teased, "Don't look at it, let's find a haode team first!"
The strength of an adventure group can be inferred from the age and number of members, the perfection of the professional matching, and the quality of the equipment.
"Do you see that adventure group? Although everyone is a piece of excellent equipment, they are too young, and they are obviously a group of noble children. Homer pointed to the crowd and gave Downton more insight, "For the team, equipment is one thing, and a wealth of experience is also indispensable. ”
"What else?" Downton listened with great interest, and walked to the town's tavern, which had been requisitioned by several major guilds and turned into a temporary office center, where all kinds of transactions, hiring, and recruitment information could be found.
"The most important thing about joining the adventure group is to see if the other party has a good leader, not only has rich command experience, but also has a guaranteed character, otherwise you will have no place to reason if you are killed. "Homer actually hates taverns, not to mention the smell of alcohol, and is full of rude men.
Downton saw that there were long queues in front of the five counters, and he had no choice but to wait.
"Have you heard? The main force of the 'Savage Garden' has explored a hundred miles to the east, the farthest it has ever been. ”
"Your news is outdated, and the fastest at the moment is the 'Indian Head', which has explored a hundred and twenty miles to the northwest, but is said to have been stumped by a lava pool. ”
There is no shortage of information in the tavern, and adventurers tell a lot of information in small talk.
According to the laws of the Western Soil, the professional legions of the major countries are not allowed to enter other countries, so the exploration of the secret realm is always a time for various large mercenary groups to compete.
Whoever explores the farthest and draws the most detailed maps will not only get a lot of benefits, but also great honor and prestige, as well as a boost in the team's ranking in the mercenary guild.
In order to make a living, if a magician chooses to join a mercenary group, he will definitely prefer those who are ranked high, and under this mechanism, the mercenary group can always ensure that there is enough potential for fresh blood to enter and ensure competitiveness.
The eyes of the adventurers occasionally swept over Downton, and they would not talk to him, he was too young, coupled with a curious expression on his face, he looked like a rookie, and there was no value in cooperation.
Except, of course, scammers and thieves, who are prey on rookies because they are easily deceived.
Downton waited in line for more than an hour before it was his turn, and standing in front of the counter, he suddenly had a little heart beating, so he quickly took a few deep breaths to calm his heartbeat.
"Boy, is there anything I can help you with?" After all, the clerk was professionally trained by the mercenary union, and his quality was good, and he did not discriminate against him because of Downton's age.
"Can you provide some information about a more reputable adventure group? I'd like to join an expedition team. "Anyone who has registered in the union is more reputable than those who directly raise signs and shout people outside, and the team information will be more detailed, easy to select, naturally, this kind of service is not free, Downton has to pay at least a gold coin inquiry fee.
"Haode, please ask your age, occupation, and the location of the team you need, and what other work you can do. "The staff asked very detailed because they also have referral business.
How can it be impossible for the secret realm to explore without dying, so even the powerful adventure group will replenish the reserve personnel, they have limited time, and they will not be downtrodden to the point of raising signs on the street to recruit, so they are looking for people directly in the union.
"Sixteen, paladin!"
Before Downton could finish speaking, the eyes of the surroundings suddenly gathered and stared at him. (To be continued......)
