In the night, William hurriedly left Gannix. He didn't ask Ganix where he was going, and William knew, in fact, just as he said. Once the gladiator marks on their bodies are discovered, they will definitely attract a large number of troops to surround and suppress them. And William, who can do it with them, will be wanted. Although William has always been very relieved about the efficiency of those great nobles, it will be troublesome if he encounters the army.

The quiet night did not stop William and Augustus. They rode their horses and galloped south. William barely recognized the direction in the starlight, and if he hurried at full speed, he would be able to reach the Warm Winter Plateau tomorrow morning. William needed gold coins, and he needed a suitable identity to get into the sight of those nobles. He can't put the identity of the bandit on the surface, right?

The night shrouded William in darkness, and William wore a wide black robe, which completely covered the magic armor inside and blocked the magic light. I couldn't see his expression clearly in the moonlight. He didn't know what to do in the future, and without Reha by his side, he could only rely on his own to face everything. Fortunately, what Rehaggai had taught him had already been taught to him. William knew that if he couldn't improve his strength as soon as possible, he would not be able to face those nobles like jackals and hyenas.

Perhaps, going to another country will be a way to escape the present embarrassment, but so what? Besides, does it feel better to be under the fence than it is now? At least, now I know what I should do. William thought. Because his body couldn't cultivate Dou Qi, as for magic, he had never tried it. All he could do now was to increase his pure brute force in that way. It's just that he has too little time.

William's current strength is on par with a ninth-level warrior, and if he joins the army, he should be able to reach the first level of leadership with his strength. But when he thought of the war, he dispelled that thought. William wasn't afraid of war, but he didn't want to kill. Especially senseless killings.

William thought as he went, and Augustus followed him in silence. If William hadn't spoken to him, Augustus wouldn't have spoken. William knew in his heart that Augustus wanted revenge, but he now had no one by his side but himself. I can only do it with William.

Suddenly, there was a commotion not far ahead, and William saw a few torches flickering somewhere. William hid without missing a word, observing the men. There were about a dozen of them, armed with a variety of weapons. One of the people in the middle of the group didn't have any weapons, but judging by his outfit, he looked like a magician.

William looked at the men. They are like an adventurous team, but looking at their direction, it turns out that they are also going to the warm winter plateau.

"Is it also to capture dwarven slaves?" William thought with a frown. He didn't say anything, and Augustus behind him was watching them from under a tree. It's not good news to meet adventurers in such a place. Because when an adventurer encounters someone in the wild, his first reaction must be to estimate the strength of both sides. If one side is significantly stronger than the other, then there will inevitably be some conflict. Things like killing people and selling goods are absolutely indispensable.

When he was sure that the men were far away, William stepped out from behind the tree. He looked at the direction in which those adventurers had disappeared, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, it seems to be getting more and more interesting." ”

William opened the map he had bought in Turan City, looked at the road in the dim moonlight, and said, "We will reach Dawn County tomorrow morning, which is the closest city to the Warm Winter Plateau." We recruited slave hunters there. Those few people just now shouldn't stay in Dawn County for long. ”

..............................................................................

By the time William and his wife arrived in Dawn County, it was almost noon. The two discussed it for a while, and then went their separate ways. William didn't have a proper weapon right now, so he went to see if the blacksmith shop in Dawn County had one handy. Augustus went to post the recruitment.

"Hey, young man, would you like to come and see my weapons here, there are a lot of them made by the hands of the dwarven craftsmen. A blacksmith-like man shouted as he looked at William.

"Do you have a weapon crafted by the dwarves here?" William was interested. He knew that the weapons the dwarves had created were of good quality. The price of dwarven slaves on the continent is high because of the dwarves' skill in crafting equipment.

"Of course, haha. And there are a few weapons that I have personally crafted by the dwarven master craftsmen I hired at a high price. The blacksmith warmly welcomed William into the shop. William walked into the shop only to find that the small shop was full of weapons and armor. The smell of metal permeates the room, and the occasional clanging sound can be heard in the backyard. William knew it was someone building equipment. William casually picked up a two-handed greatsword and swung it a few times, feeling that it was indeed much better than the weapons he had seen before. In terms of texture alone, the blade made of pure steel does not weaken in the slightest due to violent shaking, and the hilt also gives a powerful feeling. A sword without any bells and whistles, practical and durable. William gave an evaluation in his heart.

"Are there any heavier weapons?" asked William.

"Ahh I really didn't expect the young man to have so much strength. I remember a dwarf who had created a heavy weapon, but it was too heavy for a strong dwarf to use, and not for ordinary adventurers, so I just put it aside. Because of this, I didn't give the dwarf a sip for a month. Well, I think that's where it is. Yes...... Got it. With that, the man finally pulled out two maces from a pile of equipment. But the two hammers seemed to be very heavy, and he lifted them with some difficulty and then put them down. Dragging the two maces on the ground, he walked up to William. "Bang Dang" said two voices still on the ground, "Well, that's it." Don't look at this thing ugly, it's actually very powerful. Ordinary armor looks like papier-mâché in front of it, and this hammer is so solid that even a helmet can be deflated. But this thing is too heavy, and no one wants it for years after I have kept it, so if you want it, I'll give it to you. The man said.

William picked up the mace and shook it, it was indeed heavy. The two maces are less than a meter long, and powerful springs are mounted on the top and handle, which adds to the destructive power of the weapon. In his power. Not to mention the helmet, even if the other party is wearing plate armor, it is estimated that it is not comfortable. After thinking about it, he really didn't have a suitable weapon for this strength, so he spent a gold coin to buy the mace.

In fact, William is more keen on larger weapons, such as two-handed giant swords or giant axes, and the feeling of opening and closing even makes William a little intoxicated. But there is no way, the conditions are limited. William sighed and stuck two maces into his waist. A wide robe covered William's entire body. William found another tavern and waited for Augustus to return.

He only needed a large barrel of barley wine, and in the eyes of everyone, he chose a corner to drink there alone. There were a lot of people in the tavern, and the noisy sound made William a little irritable, William drank one cup after another, his physique was special, and if he wanted to drink alcohol, it would be modest to say that it was massive.

Suddenly, the tavern door was pushed open again. A dozen men dressed as adventurers pushed the door in. The leader is a woman, dressed in white soft armor showing off her graceful body, and the exposed skin is delicate and white, as if it can be broken. And the chestnut shoulder-length hair swayed gently with the wind, and even though she had a mask on her face, she could still see from her eyes that this was a stunning beauty.

As soon as the group entered, the tavern was filled with whistles, and many men looked at the woman with unscrupulous attention. But no one came forward to talk to him. After all, the momentum exuded by that group of people was enough to dispel any bad thoughts. But the moment William saw this woman, he lowered his head. This woman is the one who drove himself out of the cottage! William thought of his previous brazenness in the Turan Mountains, but all this was destroyed by a woman, and when William saw this woman again, his heart was calm. He didn't even know what this woman's name was, he only knew that there was a huge force behind this woman. So big that even a nobleman like Sauron could be seen as a dog.

The group found a table in the middle and sat down.

"Miss Celia, why are we here? A man dressed as a magician asked Celia, who was the leader.

"Dear Mr. Quincy Magician, I didn't invite you here, so I don't need to tell you why I'm here!" said Celia unceremoniously, not saving the magician the slightest amount of face in her tone.

Quincy's face was embarrassed for a while, but she still smiled and said, "Miss Celia, I hope you can understand your identity and responsibility, it's not that we have to follow you, but only you can complete that task, but you can't complete it alone." ”

"Of course I understand, and even I know that even with you, the chances of success are not necessarily greater. Celia was still cold, only this time she was visibly disgusted.

The magician knew that he would be bored if he continued to speak, so he stopped talking. Sitting there eating with other people.

"Celia...... Celia," William muttered in the corner about the man who had driven him out of Mount Turan. My hand involuntarily touched the mace inserted in my waist, but after thinking about it, I gave up. This woman was not difficult to deal with, and even William, who was wearing magic armor and holding a mace in his hand, could kill her in an instant. But at the thought of the mysterious force behind her, William pressed his head with a headache.

After Celia finished eating, she went upstairs to find a room. After locking the door, she carefully probed all corners of the room to make sure there was no magic before pulling out a crystal from her bosom. She placed the crystal on the table, and then poured the fighting energy in her body into the crystal. The crystal burst of brilliance, and a figure was projected, it was a vague figure, but it was still vaguely possible to cut out the figure of an old man.

"Neon, we can enter the warm winter plateau tomorrow. But didn't you say that I could sense their presence just by being here?, why didn't I feel anything until now?"

"You need to go into the warm winter plateau to feel it. Just now my lord sent down another oracle, and there are two other pieces buried with the holy artifact, both of them belong to the divine realm, but they do not belong to my lord, and you must bring them together. After a pause, the shadow said again, "What about the people who followed you?" This time, there was finally some concern in his tone.

"Thankfully, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Celia faintly said.

"Well, complete the task. Remember, our mission is above all else. Celia. The shadow vanished.

Celia in the room stared blankly at the crystal that had cracked to the ground, thinking about the last sentence. "My lord...... Mission, higher than ...... Everything?" the sentence was repeated mechanically, but the last note was noticeably raised.
