Chapter 189: The Wizard
Under the gaze of the old man opposite, Artis pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I want to know, the past of this universe. ”
This problem, in fact, is far more than just one problem, but strictly speaking, it is barely within the scope of one problem.
On the other side, the old man just shook his head.
"This question is so broad that all I can tell you is what you want to know, and the rest is up to you to discover. ”
"It's enough. ”
Artis responded.
The old man stopped talking, but stepped forward quietly.
In its place, a hazy power rose again, enveloping Artis's body.
But this time, he didn't forget anything anymore, but magnificent scenes began to appear and pour into his mind.
His pupils shrank, and he looked ahead.
At some point, the old man in front of him had long since disappeared, and the noise of the place reappeared, and the tavern that was calm in place became lively again.
"My lord, what's wrong?" said Elia's voice.
He looked at Artis, who had not moved in front of him for a long time, with some doubt on his face, as if he had completely forgotten what had happened before.
In this regard, Artis smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just remembered something." ”
"Haha, are you homesick?" said Ajri.
"At my age, I was just a child who only pestered my parents, and I never left my hometown. ”
Artis smiled at him and shook his head slowly.
"Hometown, most of them will never go back..."
The thought crossed his mind.
Two people came in the distance and came in front of them.
"The recruitment task you posted earlier, there are currently seven mercenary groups that have expressed interest, of which there are three registered mercenary groups, and their composition is dwarves, elves, and humans..."
The two staff members looked at Elia and the others with a smile, and slowly told some details of these mercenary groups and information such as remuneration requirements, making Elia and Yagiri on the other side nod their heads.
"Finally, may I ask the adults who are ready to choose among these mercenary groups, or continue to wait?"
"No need. Elia replied casually, and then asked Yagiri to go down and choose.
After a while, an elf and a human in armor approached, apparently from two different mercenary groups.
"We have a lot of people, and one mercenary group may not be enough. Elia explained to Artis, who was beside her.
This is actually a common practice, by choosing multiple mercenary groups to reduce potential security risks and avoid accidents. As for the gold required in it, it was nothing to Elia and others.
Elia spoke with the heads of the two mercenary groups, and in the process, the elf looked at Artis from time to time, apparently curious about him.
It was a female elf wearing pale green robes and a long sword. She has a very beautiful appearance, and her ears are slightly pointed compared to ordinary people.
Sensing the elf's gaze, Artis smiled at her, and a little natural aura emanated, which immediately made the elf on the other side have a great favor.
Elves are creatures that are inherently compatible with nature, and as a member of the intelligent race, they are all over the Overworld like humans, and have their own unique power system.
The elves' moonlight power and the power of nature are famous in the Overworld.
And because of the god of nature, the natural sacrifices of the Adisian Empire are also very famous, and they have a natural affinity with the elves. In the past few decades, the Adisian Empire has also established diplomatic relations with the elves, and the cooperation is very frequent, not only the elves can enter the territory of the Adisian Empire, but the natural sacrifice is also very popular with the elves.
"Alice, how's it going?" the elves asked, looking at the female elves walking in front of Elia.
Alice smiled slightly: "It's not bad." ”
"Although the commission has to be split in half by others, this time the escort is a big nobleman, and the remuneration is still okay. ”
She looked at the elves in place a little mischievously, looking a little happy.
"And this time there is a natural sacrifice to accompany you. ”
As soon as these words came out, they once again aroused the curiosity of their companions.
"That sacrifice looks very young, and it's pretty good, hehe, if only it could be tied back to the clan. ”
"The sacrifices that can go out to preach are at least the equivalent of a druid with the rank of medal, as long as you, don't be caught back. ”
"But I just saw him smile at Sister Alice, did he like Sister Alice? ”
The topic gradually deviated, which made Alice on the side blush, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Artis in the distance did not react, and stopped his own people.
On the other side, several knights in different armor silently sorted out their weapons on the side, looking very silent.
After a while, the group set off again and embarked on a journey.
Most of those mercenaries had their own horses, and they just followed the side of the convoy, silently advancing.
・・・
Dozens of days later.
"My lord, there are several nearby towns ahead, do you need to replenish some supplies in the local area?"
A tall knight rode up to Elia and asked.
This is a knight from a distant continent, named Shaladi, who is said to be from a military family, inherited an unknown system, and has the strength equivalent to a knight.
This strength is considered the top among the mercenaries in this vicinity, as long as he wants, he can get a territory in any country on the Raines continent and become a nobleman, coupled with his self-disciplined character and rich experience, it is very popular in this neighborhood.
In fact, most of the warriors who can become mercenaries are just some low-strength transcendents who don't know what kind of system they have inherited, and they came to the vicinity of the Adisian Empire for various reasons.
At the front of the line, Elia looked at Sharadi and shook her head: "Our supplies are quite sufficient, let's skip the towns along the road and save some time." ”
On the other side of them, Artis looked at the scenery along the road and slowly opened his eyes.
"It looks like there should be no accidents along the way. ”
He shook his head secretly, a little helpless.
"I thought that I would always find some clues around Elia, but after such a long time, no accidents have happened. ”
"In this case, there will be no gain on this road. ”
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he gradually made up his mind.
"Since there is no harvest here in a short period of time, then it is better to go to other places to take a look, the main world has been inherited for countless years, and there are many sixth-level powerhouses surviving, there should always be some clues. ”
He put his mind on those sixth-level beings who had been alive for a long time, and then he didn't hesitate anymore.
"In case of any accidents, Elia also needs to keep a doppelganger here. ”
The thought crossed his mind, and he looked to the side.
Under the powerful True Inspiration, everything around you can be seen in full view, and there is no place to hide.
However, in the induction, within this radius of tens of miles, everything is normal.
He shook his head, and turned into a doppelganger in place, and then his consciousness disappeared in place, and he instantly came from a distant place.
In place, Elia was stunned and involuntarily looked to the side, where Artis rode alongside him.
Feeling his gaze over, Artis turned around and looked at Elia and smiled, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, probably because I felt wrong. Elia shook her head, indicating that it was fine.
A few days later, on another continent not far from the continent of Artis, a handsome teenager appeared.
"According to the memories of the two wizarding apprentices in the past, this is a gathering place for wizards. ”
He looked up at the city in the distance and muttered to himself.
Many years ago, before the world of Ardis merged with the Overworld, two wizard apprentices inadvertently broke into the world of Ardis and were captured by Ardis to obtain some information about the Lord's time.
"In terms of erudition, who can compare to a wizard, I just hope that this place will not disappoint me. ”
A city was faintly visible in the distance, and under the induction of Artis, the breath of some pedestrians emerged.
He shook his head, and his divine power was triggered, and in the next moment, he came directly outside the city.
"Huh?" an old man covered his eyes and looked at Artis in the distance, looking a little confused.
"What's the matter, grandpa?" he asked, beside him, a little boy who looked very cute, suspiciously.
"It's nothing, grandpa may be dazzled. The old man shook his head, not thinking much more.
The city looks very depressed and comes from a small country near the coast.
However, despite the poverty, the security of the city is not bad. Artis walked through the long streets and came to a small alley, following the memories he had received from the past.
At the entrance of the alley, there is a large gate, which looks very old.
Seeing this door, Artis did not hesitate and walked directly in.
A miraculous scene happened, under the shroud of darkness, Artis's body gradually weakened, and finally passed directly through the gate.
Walking through the gate, the scene inside changed again, although it was much more empty.
"Underground?"
Artis muttered to himself, following the path ahead.
This is a black market in the wizard's memory, mainly providing services to wizards in the neighborhood.
As we progressed, other roads gradually appeared ahead, and some sparse figures appeared.
Obviously, there is more than one channel to this black market.
The wizards gave Ardis a cold look, then ignored him, and walked forward silently.
At the end, there is a large camp, guarded by two black-robed wizards at the entrance.
"Toll, half a magic stone per person. Seeing people coming, one of them spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
This is not surprising to these wizards, it is obviously not the first time they have been here.
They indifferently tossed half of the black magic stone to the Guardian and walked inside.
The people in front of them walked in one after another, and soon it was Artis' turn.
"Half a magic stone. The Guardian said as usual.
