Chapter 160: The Explorers' Union

I don't know how long I ran all the way north, and an extremely vast red land finally appeared in front of Marven's eyes--------- Sfar Wasteland. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The Farlow Wasteland is located in the northern part of the Middle-earth Continent, which is an important transportation hub connecting the western, central and Far East regions of the continent...... to the east, crossing the harsh environment and dangerous Liujin Desert to the east, which is the mysterious Far East-------- which is said to be the homeland of your Xia people, and the last frontier of the current Dark Horse Empire."

When walking through the vast wasteland, Wu Ling introduced the situation of the Sfar Wasteland to Marven in detail, and with tens of thousands of years of rich experience, he almost came to the customs of many places on the mainland.

"The Spalow Wasteland was a very pleasant place in ancient times, and many of the capitals of the ancient empires were located here, but later wars caused great damage here, and most of those ancient capitals were abandoned, and this wasteland became the area with the most ancient ruins......"

"It's finally here!" Marven finally stopped in front of a huge city. The Dragon's Treasure is located in the Longshan Mountains, and the nearest city to it is the independent city-state of Tannis.

Before entering the Yongsan Mountains, Marven chose to settle here. Although he has a map to guide him, the terrain of this Longshan Mountain Range is treacherous, and without a local guide, there will undoubtedly be many difficulties in entering the mountain range smoothly.

Despite its strategic location, the Sfar Wasteland was able to avoid being drawn into the vortex of religious wars due to its harsh environment, fierce people, and mixed forces.

Walking on the streets of Tannis, it didn't take long for Marven to see the richly decorated mercenary union building, and without thinking about it, he walked in.

"Boy, if you want to find a guide, don't go to the mercenary union!" As soon as he stepped into the door, a sharp warning from the martial soul came from Marven's ears.

"Why?" Marven was puzzled, but he still withdrew from the door of the union.

"The power of the mercenary union is too huge, and some large mercenary groups have a lot of ears and eyes, if they accidentally leak the news and let them know the specific location of the dragon treasure, I am afraid that those priceless things are likely to be snatched by them first!"

"What you say is not unreasonable. Marven frowned, "But you have to find someone to guide you, go there alone, then you can't find the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue?"

Marven knows very well that in Middle-earth, some large mercenary groups are so powerful that they are beyond imagination, and behemoths like the Holy Sword Mercenary Group can even compete with the state apparatus, although mercenaries generally stick to their employer's secrets out of professional ethics, but in the face of the interests that are huge enough to change the political pattern of the mainland, mercenary groups betray their employers often happen, so it is not a safe enough way to go to the mercenary union to find someone to be a guide.

"It's not that you won't be asked to find a guide, you can try your luck at the explorers' union, firstly, they are professional enough for this kind of work, and secondly, the identity background of explorers is not as complicated as that of mercenary groups, most of them are improvised teams, and they will not pose enough threats to you!"

"That's right, it's indeed much safer to find explorers, so I'll try it!" Although the martial soul is usually a little cynical, he is still more convinced by his experience and opinions.

Mercenary groups are more involved in the wars of mainland countries as temporary mercenaries, or as security forces to carry out some escort missions, although they are powerful, but for tasks such as pathfinding, they are not necessarily more professional than explorers, so it is a safer way to hire a few explorers with relatively simple backgrounds to lead the way.

After turning a few street corners, Marvin quickly found the headquarters of the Explorers' Union.

Compared to the opulent mercenary guild, the building of the explorers' guild is much inferior. However, it is no wonder that the Explorers' Guild is bustling with activity--------- and it is no wonder that there is no shortage of treasure hunters who dream of getting rich overnight, not to mention that these relatively weak but more professional explorers are obviously more in line with the tastes of treasure hunters than alcoholic and short-tempered mercenaries.

After squeezing into the union office for a long time, Marven began to hire candidates for his own pathfinder.

"Next!" When it was Marven's turn to come in, the clerk didn't even look at him, and directly called the people behind him to come up.

"Next!Hey!Xia Pig!Who is your master?Don't get in my way, next!"

Marven snorted coldly, released a fireball and blasted straight at the clerk's face, scaring the fat man with high-powered myopia glasses to sit on the ground.

"Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words! I am here to hire explorers, not slaves!" Marven warned sharply, the clerk's contempt for his Xia status had already made him slightly angry.

"Oh...... This gentleman, I'm really sorry, it's me who doesn't know Taishan!" The clerk helped his high-powered myopic glasses, and only then did he see Marven's mage as a magician and the badge of the Holy Sword Mercenary Regiment on his chest.

"Mercenary mage, hehe, Your Excellency turned out to be from the High Xia Clan, I am really sorry for the rudeness just now......" The fat clerk immediately changed to a flattering look, but he didn't realize that his horse's ass was all slapped on the horse's hooves.

"Hey, are you blind? This is obviously a high-level Xia clan mage, why don't you hurry up and arrange a reception!" the clerk made a straight face and shouted at the attendants beside him. Then he nodded and led Marven into another exquisite room.

The clerks who have been in the accident for a long time know very well that although the Xia people who have no faith are lowly, the "high-level Xia people" who have got rid of the inferior culture of the Xia people are very different, and they are often favored by some big people, and they are all big money owners who are not bad for money.

Drinking the coffee brought by the attendant, Marven's heart was full of bitterness, and what had happened recently made him deeply realize that even if his personal strength had been among the strongest in the mainland, his identity as a Xia tribesman would still inevitably be discriminated against and prejudiced. People will not start to respect the Xia people because there are a few great strong people in the Xia people, at best, they just treat these Xia strong people differently, and naturally classify these strong people into the ranks of "high-level Xia people".

Only by forming the most powerful army and smashing the world pattern can it be possible for the Xia people to gain true respect!

As soon as he thought of this, Marven's desire to find the dragon's treasure became even stronger, forming an army required a large enough amount of money, and he even had to admire Master Morris's foresight at the moment.

"Sir, where are you going, we have the most experienced explorers in the area, and you will be satisfied!" the smirking words of the union clerk interrupted his musings.

"Hmm...... To go to the Yongsan Mountains, I need to find a few experienced guides to lead the way. Marven vaguely revealed the purpose of the trip.

"Dragon...... Longshan Mountain ......" The clerk squirted out all the tea in his mouth when he heard this, and almost sat on the ground again.

"Sir, you're not mistaken! That place is notoriously dangerous, and it is said that there are ancient dragons entrenched, and it is a matter of life to explore that kind of place!"

"I don't need you to take any risks, I just need you to find a few familiar people to lead the way. Marven put down the teacup unhurriedly, "Of course, the honorarium will not be less than you, all I need is for you to keep your mouth shut about what you see on the road." ”

"But sir, I'm really sorry......" The clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead with a hand towel and said in a trembling voice: "There is a dragon entrenched in that place, it's a dragon!" As if worried that Marven didn't hear clearly, the clerk deliberately raised his tone several times.

"You don't want to fight the legendary dragon treasure, please! No adventurer dares to go to that kind of fateful place, even the mercenary group in the city will deliberately bypass the Longshan mountain range when they carry out escort missions......

"Bang dang! Bang dang!" Marven didn't bother with the clerk anymore, but put two high-grade magic crystal nuclei on the tea table in a row.

"This ......" the clerk's throat moved, and after hesitating for a while, he pondered: "That's it, sir, I'll still help you release the task, but I'm not sure if someone will pick it up......

Two days after the mission was released, the entire explorer union was still silent, and Marven had to leave his room and prepare to go to the Longshan Mountains alone.

Not far from the Explorer Guild was a blacksmith shop, Marven walked out of the Explorer Guild building and looked up, and found an extremely familiar figure.

"Hey, it's a brass hammer! Why is he here?"

In the weapon shop, he clearly saw his old friend -------- dwarven brass hammer, and at this moment, he was constantly arguing with a group of people.

Marven didn't hesitate and rushed over immediately.
