Chapter 1: From Far Away (1)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Second War Against the Undead began with the Anti-Undead League held in the Hall of Mirrors.
Even if it is only a verbal agreement, it is still binding. Francesca, the initiator of the conference, was himself a clergyman who was well versed in the law of cause and effect, and no one in the meeting, including Erasius, who had abstained from voting, doubted the validity of this verbal agreement. It will take some time before the official documents are fully signed, and until then, the alliance will have to keep it secret.
The conclusion of the anti-alliance has relaxed Link's nerves, and with the help of the Dawn Sect, those nobles who don't take themselves seriously will be somewhat restrained. If these last nobles who are still alive in the glorious memory of the empire are not going to wake up, they can only let them ruin the old empire with rotten titles.
The purpose of building an alliance was achieved, and this meeting naturally ended. Alone in the guest house, Link was about to inform Doyle that he was finally ready to leave, but was told that his patience was running out, and Neham once again asked if he was staying at Vaolet forever.
[Tell him to set off today to prepare the necessities for the long journey. 】
Doyle was puzzled, from Vaolet to the Great Trap, he had to cross the entire Befast territory, whether it was on foot or on horseback, or even carrying everyone forward with a wind falcon, there was no need to prepare 'travel necessities', right?
[The Great Pit is occupied by the orcs, and if you don't prepare some necessities in the human territory in advance, do you want to make a deal with the demons? Link has no unwarranted dislike for Neuham, who has a mental cleanliness fetish and is too rigid, and as long as it is related to him, his words will inevitably be accompanied by a gun and a stick.
Knowing that Link didn't like Neham, Doyle didn't say anything more, and fed back the news of his upcoming departure to Neham, who was beside him.
He had more experience than Doyle, and only thought about it slightly. Guessing the reason, without saying a word, he turned around and left the training ground where he had been staying for the longest time, and went straight to the market where merchants gathered.
[Do we also need to prepare some dry food and clean water?] After awakening, Doyle's food increased dramatically, not to mention her small size, but the amount of food can be enough for three adults.
[You look at it. If you think about it from the perspective of saving, you can ask the city lord for help, and he won't refuse. Arriving at the doorway of the building with the Shadow Thorn emblem hanging from it, Link pushed open the door to the guild that had been built in Vaolet not long ago, but had been avoided by people. Sensing a different gaze, he turned around and saw the Knight of Dawn in the crowd, staring at him through the crowd.
[I'm going to take care of some things, and I'm gathering outside the Adventurers' Guild at noon.] Walk into the shadowy Killer Guild and leave all eyes behind.
Link's arrival. Assa, who had been staying in the Thorn of Shadows branch for two days and didn't dare to leave, was secretly relieved.
His self-recommendation was not so much about wanting to get ahead as it was about following orders. President Lucas has given orders to find a way to infiltrate the Children of Nature no matter what, and these days, several top Assassins have died at the hands of their peers in order to compete for this spot. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a thief like him who took the intelligence route instead of assassination to take the lead, and there were many red-eyed and unwilling people in the guild, if it weren't for the president's order not to make trouble. I'm afraid that his little life will be gone before he leaves the Adventurer's Guild.
Alberto, the head of the chapter, appeared at the same time as Assa, after a brief greeting. The two of them didn't speak, both waiting for Link to take the initiative to show his intentions.
"My last commission......"
"It's done. ”
At Alberto's behest, several Assassins carried the crate to Link and pried open the nailed lid in front of him, containing four magical items that had been sold for a high price a few months earlier.
It's a large wooden box teleported from headquarters, and it's itchy to watch. But Alberto didn't dare to take them out of the box and try them out.
Link reached out and took out the magic bow that was the most popular of the four magic items, and pulled the bowstring.
"Hum—"
The arrows made of magic made a slight sound, and people in the dark and in the light stared at the magic weapon with amazement and envy.
Under the influence of the Elemental Tide, not only the number and ability of mages have shrunk significantly. Even the prop master, a profession that was once popular in the Big 6, has withered together. Wealthy assassins would have had a hard time getting their hands on a decent magic weapon, and many of them were seeing a real magic weapon at such a close distance for the first time.
Alberto licked his lips, "If ......"
Link's gaze fell on the head of the branch, waiting for his next sentence.
"I don't know why you're getting these magic weapons back that you've sold, and I'm not going to ask, but ...... I don't know if you can sell me this bow, but I'm willing to pay the same price as its last buyer. ”
Asa didn't speak, but he was really taken aback. As far as he knew, this magic bow called the 'Wind Falcon' was the most expensive of the four weapons sold, a full 100,000 gold.
Link shook his head, "I'm sorry, I have to recycle these broken magic items for safety reasons, and improper use will cause extremely severe consequences and even lose my life." Since I was commissioned by the risk-taker's union, I couldn't affect the reputation of the union because of my mistakes, but unfortunately, such an explanation would not be believed by the buyer who spent a lot of money, and had to make a decision to steal. ”
What he said was true, but the so-called strict consequences and loss of life refer to himself.
Alberto naturally disagreed with Link's statement, and seeing that he refused to sell, he had no choice but to give up.
Untying the rope that tied the dimensional bag, Link slipped the magic bow in front of a room of people, then reached for the other magic item in the box.
It took a lot of effort for Alberto not to rub his eyes and open his mouth like a stupid boy who had never seen the market.
This child of nature is obviously a divine messenger, but his body is full of magic, is he really a priest?
But the others were not as calm as he was, and the sound of conversation came from the corner.
"See, such a big bow is actually stuffed in!"
"Haven't you heard of magic bags?"
"You haven't heard of it, how can an ordinary magic bag put so many things, look, the staff is also stuffed in!"
"That's why you are unheard, the size of the magic bag is determined by the ability of the maker, and a craftsman like him must be using the legendary dimensional bag. ”
Unexpectedly guessed, Link subconsciously turned around, and saw a few shadows hidden in the darkness, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Alberto coughed dryly, didn't these guys, regardless of the occasion, know that the senses of the children of nature were different from ordinary people, chewing the root of their tongue in front of him, and seeing how he would clean up those idiots in a while.
After putting all four magic items into the dimensional bag, Link spoke again, "I've been busy helping Bridge repair the rank tester these days, and it will take a while for you to get what you will need." ”
Alberto nodded repeatedly, not asking what the president wanted.
Pointing to Asa, who had not been silent from beginning to end, Link made it clear that he was only hired on a personal basis and would not ask him to get out of the Thorn of Shadows.
Asa had already reported this to Alberto when he returned, and the head of the branch reported it to President Lucas.
"Follow him and report to me everything you see and hear. After listening to the report, Lucas quickly understood the meaning behind Link's strange move, the camp of the Children of Nature was neutral, and if they were followers, an absolute orderly like Dawn would not be able to walk with them. More important ...... It was Lucas who guessed that Link didn't mind taking an intelligence collector with him who could leak his every move at any moment.
In fact, Link didn't mind, he couldn't hide it anyway, so it was better to greet the cobwebs and shadow thorns in advance, so that they could refrain from buying and selling information.
"Anyway, Malik and I will remain allies until we win the War Against the Undead, and with this ring on my hand for a day, I have basically no secrets to hide from him, but ......" The long tone and the intimidation almost brought the unprepared Alberto to his knees.
"You can't leak secrets, you can't say a word. Be sure to tell President Lucas, as well as Mesh. If you think what I say is not binding, I can have Malik speak to you personally. "It's a naked threat, and Link doesn't care what people think of him anymore.
Alberto nodded stiffly, unable to utter a word.
"Go pack up, we'll leave Waolet today. Link said this to Asa.
Asa hesitated for a moment before asking where he was going.
"The big pit. ”
Anyway, Malik would tell them about the cobwebs and shadow thorns sooner or later, and Link simply revealed it to them, and he put his index finger to his mouth in a silent motion.
"Not yet, I don't want the Thorns of Shadows and Cobwebs to reveal this to the Fourth Party until I divulge my whereabouts myself. You will be punished for ruining my plans. ”
It wasn't until Asa left with Link that Alberto breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect this seemingly weak son of nature to have such a terrifying coercion.
In the darkness6, the lurking assassins revealed themselves, discussing the horror that had just exposed them.
"It's very strong, you all feel it, right?"
"This is the legendary coercion......"
Alberto's forehead jumped, "Shut up, you've lost all the guild's face!"
Leaving the Thorn of Shadows, Link heads straight to the agreed Adventurers' Guild.
In the open space in front of the door, Doyle, Nemm, and Alysina were already waiting there, and after staying in Vaolet for half a month, they were finally about to leave for Nanyanzhou, where the Pillar of Fire was located. (To be continued!)
