Volume VII, Chapter 56

However, looking at Lovian's current expression, he probably didn't have the idea of helping the Cross Brigade complete this golden scroll mission. "And the value of your dark healing technique is enough to buy the quest in a golden scroll. You now know how much capital you have, right?"

Lovian's conception of this is vague, because by the time the task is so important that they are worth far more than any money or even any valuable material deposit can measure. He is also well aware of the meaning of his dark healing technique, as long as he finds a genius to use as a template, such as the god of war Ai'an, and then the combination of the two healing techniques can make any human have the same anti-heaven talent as Ai'an. This can fundamentally change the bloodline of the human race, so that the geniuses of the human race, as well as that of any other race, may be more positive for the individual, but on the whole, once the powerful and destructive power of the powerful and destructive appear in Osiria in large numbers, then the authority of the Holy Emperor will probably be dealt a fatal blow, and the war will be even more terrifying. If there were some even more unbelievable beings among these geniuses, and one or two more people like the Dark Mage, I am afraid that the whole world would be destroyed because of this. At that time, I'm afraid it will be a problem that neither of the two creator gods can solve......

Thinking of this, Luo Weian couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly shook his head: "I feel like I'm still keeping it, thank you for your explanation-I think I can take on a few tasks, even if you hire me." I hope to have some goals in my life in the near future and at the same time give my students some exercise. ”

Harlem pulled the dart out of his sleeve again. Tapping in front of the table, "It seems that you listened carefully, since you are not a member of the registered mercenary group." Being hired by a mercenary group as an individual and completing the mercenary group's employment is also a loophole in our rules - this allows many strong people without registered status to join some very inconspicuous mercenary groups, so that their success rate in completing tasks increases rapidly, and their influence in the industry is rapidly increased...... However, I would say that you have one task that you will definitely do, and with your character, you have no choice. ”

Lovean's body tensed immediately, and he noticed Haring's unusual tone at this time.

"Your Excellency Captain of the Blood Moon," Harlem seemed to ask Legoro to explain the mission for her. She herself leaned back comfortably in her chair, "Your disciple Frannay Wintington, that is, Francis, a high-ranking cadre in the Central Plains of the illegal organization Black Wings. Although he officially broke away from the Black Wings organization in March this year, the information he has about the Black Wings has become the target of the Mercenary Group in the Silver Scroll. As a result, Mr. Francis is currently in a very dangerous environment, and his family is still under the supervision of the Cross Brigade. And according to the internal regulations of our mercenary community. The completion of a Silver Roll task can involve non-task members. Thus, the importance of the information in Mr. Francis' possession has outweighed the limits of the most basic professional ethics, including the use of family members as hostages to force Mr. Francis to hand over information. There are also opposing voices in our Cross Brigade for this approach, but the strength represented by those opposing voices is simply impossible to compete with the large mercenary group organization that specializes in the Silver Scroll mission, so there is a task in those bronze scrolls, that is, on the premise of not violating the basic goal of the Silver Scroll Mission, so that Mr. Francis's family will not be detained by the Grand Mercenary Group organization. And our commander of the 5th Brigade, Miss Haring, released and took over the task in her personal capacity. However, due to the failure of a recent mission-"

That's not really a failure, and there's something to be forgiven. And the one who had the most to do with that incident was Halmaniah. Don't mention me. Haring suddenly interrupted Legolo and said in a somewhat angry voice. "-Oh, okay. Legoro smiled lightly, "For some reason, Miss Haring can't get out of this task for the time being. Therefore, if you wish to be temporarily employed by Miss Harlem to complete this assignment, either in your personal capacity or as an individual legal person on behalf of your own organization, you will receive a commission of fifty percent for this assignment. ”

"Then I accept your terms. Lovian replied immediately, he had no choice about Francis and Snow Foam, "Please give some details, I will do my best." ”

Harlem didn't even look at him, he shook his hand and threw a scroll of paper in front of him, but Lovian didn't open it, and carefully received it in his inner pocket.

"You can leave, don't go far. Harlem raised his head and said, beside him Legoro caressing his bowstring, and with an inaudible creak, the wooden door behind him opened.

Luo Wei'an got up and performed a demon ritual to leave, only Legoro returned the salute with the elven etiquette. Luo Wei'an was about to walk out of the door, when he suddenly turned around and said, "Haring, the question you are talking about, is it the defeat that the Elf King suffered in Nanyang City a few days ago?" I want to assist the human defenders in the task of hiring the Elf King to defend Nanyang City at the price of the Grivar Empire, at least it is also a silver scroll mission, right?"

Haring was surprised for a moment, then nodded silently.

"You were there?"

Haring nodded again.

"Let me guess once again, that Halmaniah is supposed to be different from Helina in that the royal elves who have gone through that experience will subconsciously make revenge their goal in life, if not to show their hatred. I don't know why he escaped the curse of the Elves with him, but he certainly wouldn't want the Elven King's return to interrupt his plans for revenge. Because in the five hundred years when there was no elven king, Harmania did not have Helina's low profile, so in a certain way, he became the king of the elven race. I believe that during that time, there will also be many tradition-abiding elves like you who insist on waiting for the frozen elven king Mercedes, so in a way, you and the forces that Harmaniya have built up over the past five hundred years have become hostile. This hostility is bound to become more acute with the official return of the Elven King - if I am not mistaken, the reason why the Elven King did not come forward immediately after his comeback to unite the entire Elven race is because she fears a large-scale conflict between the Harmonian faction and your Mercedes faction. You wanted to fight in Nanyang City and add a lot of chips to the Mercedes faction. However, because of Orka, this mission failed, so at present, the power of the Harmaniya faction has skyrocketed, and the high-ranking elves of the Mercedes faction like His Highness Mercedes and you have been personally threatened. That's all you're worried about. If you were speaking purely as the commander of the Fifth Brigade, you would have issued a mission to capture or assassinate Harmaniya. ”

Haring's momentum grew stronger with Lovian's syllables, and when Lovian finished his last sentence, Harlem stood up violently, and the dart in his hand turned into a black lightning bolt, which flew out against Lovian's cheek, and passed through the wooden door blessed by layers of reinforcement circles. The stone wall behind the door disappeared into the perimeter of the tower. There was only a sleek hole in the dart's path, and there was not a single crack in wood or stone around the hole—the speed of the Harlem dart was unbelievable.

The scars on Lovian's face from the air currents driven by the darts healed instantly. He nodded: "I have always pursued the principle of cutting grass and eradicating roots. During the Patriotic War, Harmaniah's mother died at my hands, and half of his hatred for this world came from me. So his existence is also a great threat to me, if I can assist - or kill Harmaniah - with my own ability. I hope for a reward. That's to you, the elf—if there's any luxury—the friendship between the elves and me. I can't think of anything more valuable than this. ”

Legoro's sharp ears moved, and he said a few words in Elvish to Harlem beside him, and then the gloomy Harlem nodded stiffly.

"Deal. ”

The wind was bitter, and the white mist from the mount's breath lingered behind them for a long time, dragging a pale tail of flames.

The five of them galloped through this dry and desolate wilderness, with no snow, no trees, and not even a trace of life, as if this was a dead place that had not been heeded by the World Tree, which symbolized the root of life. The knight who straddled an inky war horse without a trace of variegation seemed to have no goal. There is no end to this absolute desolation. The black trench coat, the black helmet, the black armor and the black war horse under the crotch, the barren dark yellow and the five pure black photos. Dazzling but strangely harmonious.

I don't know how long it took, but the thinnest-looking knight in the center of the five galloping side by side raised his hand slightly, and his mount hissed, forming an arc of purple light and a viscous dark element from his and his mount's body. In an instant, his speed increased dramatically. The other four knights behind him made the same move. The only thing that was different from the lanky knight was that the energy cycle between them and their mount was just the simplest of dark attribute fighting energy.

Speed up until a broken signpost appears at the end of the eye. The stone road sign has gone through many years of wind and frost, and the handwriting on it is now blurred. The emaciated-looking knight raised his hand again, and the horse spewed white mist as it slowed down.

He pushed his overcoat away, revealing an unusually youthful face, but that young cheek had a coldness and ...... that would never occur at this age Decidedly. He looked closely at the vague demon characters on the stone road signs, and after a few minutes, he pointed in a direction with his black gloved finger.

The burliest of the other four knights rode up to the young human and asked cautiously, "Lord Francis, may you be pointing in the same direction as your destination...... It's getting farther and farther away!"

"Do you really think that with our strength, we will be able to save my family and Xuemo from the crusaders?" replied Francis indifferently, "I need to discuss this matter with the teacher. Talco, for every second of delay, they are in more danger. Maybe the Cross Brigade won't do anything out of the ordinary, but they will condone things that we don't want to see. The fact that a manager condones the wickedness of his subordinates is even more disgusting than that of the evildoer. Get here today and continue tomorrow. ”

With that, Francis jumped off his horse first, reached out to untie his armor, and then patted his arm gently. After a few soft sounds, several chicly figures appeared in front of Francis and bowed to him.

"You know what to do. Francis ordered his puppet without a word. The doll answered the owner's words in a variety of voices. It began to be erected quickly

Before the morning glow of the next day's sun had dissipated with the brighter and brighter light and heat, a carriage stopped on the avenue between the first and second stations of the wolf clan.

For the carriage rental system in today's human society, Luo Weian has a speechless impulse for this. The weight is multiplied by the volume multiplied by the number of people, and finally multiplied by the distance - all the way down. A straight-line distance of less than a hundred kilometers was snatched out of Lovian's pocket, and three gold coins were scavenged.

You must know that bringing the current gold coin can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, which is almost enough to catch up with the pure daily expenses of an ordinary family of three for half a month. However, unlike in Lovian's impression, humans are now more inclined to use paper money and bank card transactions that are finely engraved to record the magic array. The former is mainly used in ordinary people's daily small transactions, while the latter is often used when it is difficult to deliver large goods or cash. When it comes to traditional gold and silver coins, this hard currency is often used for important transactions or buried under one's house as a reserve.

He felt distressed as the three pages representing the gold coin were handed out of Lovian's hands to the coachman and his fellow who looked a little too commercial. He also wondered if the two human beings in front of him had really evolved in the past five hundred years to be more sensitive to things like money than before.

Lovian spent two days in a relatively clean hotel house in Kotsol, racking his brains to compose a few piano songs from the demons he remembered as accurately as possible. Although the musical art of piano is a compulsory course for every demon noble, something that he has not touched since he joined the military five hundred years ago is forcibly pulled out of his mind. It's still a strange torture of his mental space. Luo Wei'an even wondered if this was a way to exercise his mental space, because he had felt the long-lost progress of his mental space in these three days.

In addition to a thousand gold coins in exchange for two pieces of paper filled with scribbled musical notations picked out from a hill-sized pile of scrap paper, Lovien scoured the Cross Brigade stronghold in Kotsol for as much information as he could about the Halfanias and the Bruce family. In addition to the task that Haring threw at him, the threat he himself made to Lovian was also the reason why he spared no effort in the past few days. After all, before that. Alone. Even if Harmaniya is strong, it is difficult to completely block all the ways of life for himself who was once a fifth-level powerhouse. But now that he has begun a semi-settled life, the possibility of Harmuniah succeeding is greatly increased when his secluded location is difficult to keep secret. Under the security measures that are almost non-existent at present, such a royal elf with the middle and high-level strength of the fourth level who takes the pure power route is an absolute threat to himself and Mastema. He also didn't understand why Harmaniah didn't kill him on the spot in the process of escorting the Shadowman, although from Lovian's own first impression, Harmania really could be the kind of elf who was compassionate and compassionate and made it his mission to raise the world, but judging from the news that Harlem gave him. It was more likely that he would do so because he didn't quite believe that Lovien would be able to escape from the Shadowmen, and he couldn't do so in front of the Knights of the Holy Emperor's Order. In the five hundred years that Mercedes had not appeared, he must have become the sole representative of the Elves and the Holy Emperor, and he did not want such a potentially further cooperative relationship to break down temporarily.

Intelligence-wise, Harmaniah's whereabouts are uncertain, and his appearance has no pattern at all, and in general he is more low-key than a hermit elf like Harlem with a dual identity. After the possibility of active defense was completely reduced to zero, Lovian began to hope to contact the Elven King Mercedes, maybe she could get rid of some of her previous suspicions and reach some cooperation for this reason, so that she could get some more safety index. Here's what Haring said:

"Hah, you let me go to the king, your brain is fried-oh, you don't know the truth, forget it, after the Nanyang City incident, who knows what evil the king has hit, and now he is nesting in Eore and not even making a word of the news-even Helina is more in charge than her!"

In fact, in addition to these, Luo Weian still has a lot of facts to be busy, such as the dual-line healing transformation talent plan that will start immediately when he returns, investigating the current management of the demon reservation by the Terrans, arranging a detailed teaching plan, making his small clinic have a certain amount of material accumulation, inquiring about Francis's news, and formulating how to solve the threat of other mercenary groups to Francis's family and Xuemo - in short, that's all. But when Lovian found that he had no idea where to start or had no experience with his own experience, he became discouraged and decadent and began to scratch at his heart - which terrified him, but his strong perseverance as a Legion Commander helped him get rid of this feeling in time.

Lovian jumped out of the carriage briskly, and the first thing he saw was Dominita and Julian, who were leading the Mang children in circles around the grove.

Like most other humans, seeing so many free demons for the first time, the bearded coachman and the young man were immediately stunned, and immediately associated with the demons who had a strange temperament that they couldn't explain to the Lovian species from the beginning. After looking closely, they quickly confirmed their judgment in their hearts.

"Uh...... You're a demon?"

"Well, if you asked, I'll answer it truthfully! You're right!" said Lovion in a strange tone of ease and exhaustion.

Although the demon race is a relatively rare intelligent race for the current human race, after all, the human race won the victory in the Saint Defense War back then, and after such a long time, it is impossible for them to have the same fear of the demon race as they did back then, and there is actually more curiosity in it. Regarding the discrimination against the demons, it mainly exists in those large families who have some industrial land at home, and they often use demon serfs who are naturally sensitive to the land. As for these ordinary people, they don't have this concept at all, and at most they have a small sense of superiority over their own people's past victories in history textbooks.

"Oh, then we're really lucky to have a trip with a demon gentleman like you, and we can talk to my family when we go back!haha......"

"Uh...... Okay......" Luo Wei'an touched his forehead without the sweat of zài.

As these days passed, Dominita's initial wariness of him was gone. Now she just doesn't know how to deal with those who came from the past and have different worldviews and values from the demons around them, such as Luo Wei and Mastma. (To be continued......)
