The Wizard Upgrade Conference ended smoothly, and basically all the people who participated in the upgrade were satisfied with their promotion. It's quite satisfying.

After the meeting, of course, I went to Aisha's house to celebrate. Due to Aisha's outstanding performance, when they arrived at Aisha's house, they found that there were already many people and carriages waiting outside. They are all the magnates and their subordinates who are waiting to pay a visit to the Archmage of Chim. However, it seems that the archmage of Chim has not returned, and is waiting at the door.

This situation was discovered from a distance, and several young people did not come forward, but quietly discussed, and without alarming anyone, several people changed their direction and changed to Chuck's house.

Who knew that there were more people in Norton's house, who had just shown his head, and found that the wrong Chuck had not yet had time to shrink back, when he was seen by a sharp-eyed pro-soldier. The soldiers rushed over and reported Chuck directly to let him go home. Originally, Chuck wanted to slip away, but a group of people had already come out of the gate and surrounded him, so he had to go home obediently.

Wang Feng and several people were also invited to Chuck's house together. When I went in, I found that not only Norton was there, but Chim was also at Chuck's house along with His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire. Chuck and Aisha immediately went in to meet them, and Wang Feng and Linda were settled in the backyard and waited for them because they didn't have any titles.

Because His Majesty the Emperor is here, the surrounding defenses are tight. When they entered the door, they were searched, but fortunately, they didn't bring weapons today, and Master Chuck guaranteed that they would let them in. Although the backyard is not large, there are at least a dozen forbidden soldiers standing guard around them, eyeing their every move and preventing them from misbehaving.

It was annoying to be stared at Linda, so she went back to the house directly, and Wang Feng followed in and sat slowly.

It was really annoying to meet the emperor, when Wang Feng was in the barracks before, when he heard those partners talking about the emperor, they all looked like they were hateful, and they were affected, and Wang Feng himself did not respect the emperor very much. When I understood, I didn't have any respect for the emperor. Now I don't have the slightest affection for this person with the title of emperor.

Anyway, there were people watching outside, so I couldn't just walk around, so I had to sit down and listen to what they had to say.

As if there was some special protection in the place where they were talking, the sound could not be heard at all. Oh, by the way, I guess Aisha said about the enchantment. It's so powerful that I can't even make a sound. Let's think about how to deal with Norton.

It could be seen from the look in Norton's eyes when they first met, probably trying to get something out of himself. After this time, it must have been more intense.

The black gold pillar that shot the arrow at Chim's was missing, and it was probably taken by Norton, and he was probably the only one who could take something from Chim. This time Aisha was in such a big limelight, Norton would not let himself live a free life easily.

For Chuck's sake, he can agree to these requests. And Chuck Aisha is also unrelated and unreasonable, didn't he also teach them his own things? and a group of dragoons, and they didn't care about bringing a few more.

Norton was a dignified general, and if he came to him in a military manner, he could agree to his request. But if he's going to use some other trick, hum......

After sitting in the room in the backyard for a long time, still no one paid attention. The surrounding guards are still guarding the perimeter of the house, faithfully fulfilling their duties.

There were only two people in the room, Wang Feng and Linda, who thought for a while, felt that there was nothing to do for the time being, and turned their heads to look at Linda. Suddenly found that Linda was looking at him stupidly, and when he saw him turn his head, he suddenly turned his head with a flushed face.

Wang Feng suddenly felt a burst of warmth, he had this feeling before, thinking about it, that is, when he was alone with Linda. At that time, Linda was either talking to him or staring at him blankly.

In this different world, only she can make herself feel warm. I couldn't help but say softly: "Linda, thank you!"

Linda was visibly shocked when she heard this, and then her face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to answer. The two of them just sat dumbfounded, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, but both of them liked this feeling very much, and neither of them could bear to open their mouths first to spoil the atmosphere.

I don't know how long I sat there, but suddenly I heard footsteps, Wang Feng woke up violently, and Linda also recovered her original demeanor, stood up and walked to the door.

It was Chuck Aisha who came, along with Chim and Norton. The surrounding guards don't know when they have all been withdrawn, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has also left.

Norton and Chim's faces were serious, and they confessed to Wang Feng, letting Aisha and Chuck lead Linda out. Wang Feng knew that they had something to say, so he didn't open his mouth and waited for them.

The two of them sat for a while, no one spoke, and Wang Feng was not in a hurry, sitting quietly.

Norton coughed dryly, opened the conversation, and said, "I'll talk about it." ”

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor came over this time because of the last time Norton kicked several noble officers out of the team with Wang Feng's bow and arrows. Those officers were unwilling to be driven out like this, so they sent their eyes and ears in the army afterwards, frantically looking for evidence, and wanted to sue Norton in front of the emperor for abuse of power and suppression of subordinates.

Those people have also been in the army for some years, and after deep roots, they finally found that there is no one in the current army who can shoot such an arrow. So he suspected Norton of cheating on the black lazuli.

But after taking a closer look at the black gold stone pillar, I found that it was impossible to play tricks on it. The whole arrow was completed in one go, piercing the stone pillar, and there was no opportunistic behavior at all. No evidence could be found above, and no one could be found in the army, so these people weighed again and again, and jointly played a joint game, saying that the generalissimo of the imperial soldiers and horses was secretly accumulating armed forces and plotting against him.

This crime is really terrible, although with the relationship between the Norton family and the royal family, Norton's consistent behavior, and Chim's guarantee, His Majesty the Emperor believes that Norton did not carry out a private conspiracy, but he must give these people an account. His Majesty ordered Norton to settle the matter within two months.

Originally, Norton wanted to design with Chim to control Wang Feng in his hands, but Chim and Wang Feng had already understood some of Wang Feng's personality after talking to him once, and he was unwilling to design Wang Feng. So when Norton told him about the plan, he was immediately opposed by Chim. directly persuaded Norton to break off the idea of wanting to control Wang Feng. Wang Feng is now a friend, and if he is calculated, it is estimated that he will immediately become the most terrible enemy.

According to Chim's understanding of Wang Feng, Chim persuaded him and Wang Feng to say that with Wang Feng's attitude towards friends, he should be able to help with this, so the two of them came over to discuss with Wang Feng now.

Wang Feng didn't speak, waiting for them to finish. The two of them didn't know what he meant, waiting for him to speak.

Wang Feng smiled lightly and said, "Since you are so outspoken, it is not difficult for me to help you, I can help you solve this problem, but I will not go in person." ”

The two were puzzled, glanced at each other, and then looked at Wang Feng.

"I can leave how to shoot an arrow to you, or to the person you appoint, but I won't do it myself. Wang Feng continued.

The two of them were surprised and delighted, this was the best way for the two of them to hope, and nodded busily.

Then Wang Feng said: "But you have to promise me two conditions." Norton nodded without thinking about it, motioning for him to continue.

"I'm now the head of the mercenary group, and I have to think about a group of people, so this time it's to help the military complete the task, and you have to give me the corresponding mercenary compensation. ”

Norton immediately agreed: "No problem, the cooperation between the Adventurer's Guild and the military is very good, this is easy." What about one more condition?"

Wang Feng smiled and said, "I want you to send me twenty elven archers with excellent qualifications, and after two months, half of them will come back to give you an errand, and half of them will follow me as mercenaries." ”

This condition was proposed, but Norton hesitated. Originally, there were few elites of archers in the army, and elves became the objects of archers from all over the world because of their talents, but those who can really become elites are not idle people, in addition to talent, they also need to have more hard training. During this period, a lot of manpower and material resources were consumed, not counting the mental and hard work spent on it. The people trained in this way can't reach Wang Feng's level, and the people who want Wang Feng to train are these people.

Wang Feng easily asked for ten, and Norton was really reluctant. However, he was the leading decision-maker in the empire, and after weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision immediately. Being able to exchange ten elven archers for Wang Feng to contribute to the empire is absolutely only profitable, and ten people are left by Wang Feng's side, just to monitor it intentionally or unintentionally, if Wang Feng has any other thoughts about the empire, he can also get the news immediately. It is estimated that Wang Feng also thinks so, in order to reassure himself. Thinking of this, even if I was reluctant to do so, I had to agree.

Nodding fiercely, he agreed to Wang Feng's request, Wang Feng smiled faintly, and suddenly turned his head to Chim and said, "Chim** Master, Aisha has been successfully upgraded today, and she hasn't celebrated yet!"

Chim was also very happy to see that the deal was negotiated, and immediately said, "No problem, let's celebrate here in Norton." General Norton, I'm sorry for you to have a meal of wine. ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

Norton was very efficient, and early the next morning, a team of twenty elven archers came to report from the Wolf Army's station. Ten men and ten women, it's rare for Norton to find such an average.

It can be seen from their gestures that they are a well-trained group of soldiers. From the eyes alone, it can be seen that they are a group of warriors who have been trained from the battlefield of life and death.

Harlem admired them, not for anything else, but because they were the same soldiers.

Unlike Linda, these elves show more of a fierce aura, even female elves are no exception, with a lot less lightness on Linda's body and more calmness.

Twenty people were neatly arranged in two rows, the military appearance was neat, waiting for Wang Feng to arrange, Wang Feng was very satisfied with the candidates selected by Norton, all of them were worth cultivating, it seemed that Norton had put a lot of effort into them.

There is only one elf in the entire wolf army, Linda, and this team of elf warriors just let her take it, after all, people of the same race are also convenient to speak.

With these twenty more people, the wolf army has another group of long-range attack masters, and its combat power has increased greatly.

instructed Linda to settle these people first, and the subordinates of the wolf army came to report, and distinguished guests visited.

The people who came were brought back by people arranged by Haring in the Adventurers' Guild, and the people who led the way informed Wang Feng first, and these people came to negotiate with Wang Feng about a hiring matter.

The first business in Tiancheng, of course, had to be taken care of, and Wang Feng immediately greeted him.

The person who came was a middle-aged man and two entourage, dressed in rich clothes, standing in the courtyard and carefully inspecting the garrison of the wolf army.

Wang Feng could see at a glance that this middle-aged man had a lot of kung fu, but compared to the current Haring and others, it was even worse. The two entourages are still a little impressive, but in Wang Feng's eyes, they are also the target of one-hit killing.

The team members who led the way introduced each other to each other. Seeing that the young man in front of him was actually the mercenary leader, a look of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but it was fleeting.

The middle-aged man is Mr. Dopp, the head of the Lauder family in Amagi. This time, the Lauder family has a batch of goods and personnel to be sent to the capital of the Vulcan Empire, and it happens that all the high-level mercenary groups are waiting for the completion of the upgrade conference and the recent auction conference, so they can't find mercenaries who can be hired for a while, and the goods are very urgent, so they have to retreat to the next best thing and find a relatively low-level mercenary group to complete this task.

Although the wolf army is now level 1, it has the privileges of the adventurer's guild, and the artifact was retrieved by them, so they were the first to find it.

Dopp opened his mouth first, but he didn't say anything about the mission: "The terrain here is good, the good place you have chosen, you can attack and defend, damn it, why didn't my people find such a good place before." After speaking, he stared fiercely at one of the attendants behind him.

But Dopp is indeed wrong to blame this entourage, this station, after the wolf army bought it, the surrounding environment was specially changed, some buildings were cleverly overturned and rebuilt, and some locations were replaced, from the appearance, there is nothing special, but people who really know how to do it, you can see at a glance that the layout here is well-founded, both offensive and defensive, it is really hard work.

Wang Feng took over and said, "If Mr. Dopp thinks this place is good, I can consider transferring this place to you, the price is negotiable." "When they meet, they talk about money, and they look like a businessman, but it also brings the two closer a lot. Dopp laughed dryly a few times and brought it over. Others were secretly amused.

Wang Feng let Dopp into the living room, Linda had already brought the tea obediently, and there were no maids and servants, so she had to rely on her own people.

After a few polite words, Wang Feng asked about the situation of this mission, and Dopp explained in detail.

The value of this batch of goods is not low, and due to the price difference between the two places, plus official support, a lot of money can be made. The Lauder family has a great reputation in the Vulcan Empire, and has been recognized by the state to deal exclusively in this kind of goods, so the business is doing well. Because the cost is very low, but the profit is considerable, there are also many people who smuggle. However, the most convenient thing is to rob the goods directly, and you can make a fortune by changing hands, so it is not very safe on the road, and you need to hire a large number of people every time.

The Lauder family is a merchant family that has risen in the past hundred years, and has business in almost every country on the mainland.

I used to work happily with a high-level mercenary group, but since the appearance of the artifact, almost all mercenary groups have been focusing on the ownership of the artifact, as well as the sky-high tasks of the artifact escort, coupled with the recent excitement of Amagi, so the high-level mercenary groups are not accepting tasks now.

Moreover, this time, there are a few entourages who will also return to the Vulcan Empire, and they dare not make mistakes, so they decided to find a few more low-level mercenary groups to complete this task together.

Wang Feng didn't think so, the wolf army's current performance was indeed not strong enough, and it was no wonder that people would find more people. The system of the Adventurer's Guild ensures that mercenary groups that can be promoted to the top level must be full of talents, experienced veterans, and it is also necessary to gain the trust of their employers. In addition to killing the Tyrannosaurus on the way, he happened to complete the task of finding the artifact, but it was also passively completed. The Wolf Army has not officially accepted a commission from the Adventurer's Guild yet, which means that it does not have any mercenary experience.

Maybe it was because the recovery of the artifact gave the employer some confidence in strength, so he found it. But listen to Dopp, and find other mercenary groups to complete the mission together.

According to the value of the goods and the importance of the personnel, Dopp gave a price of 10,000 gold coins this time, but this 10,000 gold coins had to be distributed with other mercenary groups.

The personnel on duty in the Adventurer's Guild did not dare to decide, so they brought their employers back to ask for instructions.

Wang Feng didn't care much about the items protected by this mission, but he was very interested in the destination of the goods. From Old Man Chim, he knew that the only magicians on this continent who could issue fire-based forbidden spells were in the Fire God Empire, and what Wang Feng was thinking about now was how to refine cold iron into a knife.

From Dopp's conversation, Wang Feng also found some other things, but Wang Feng didn't break it, nodded confidently and said: "If you believe it, we can complete this commission alone, if you don't believe it, we will ask for at least five thousand gold coins to escort you on the road, as for the other five thousand gold coins, you can find any mercenary." ”

Dopp saw this extreme confidence in Wang Feng's eyes, but he hesitated again and again, and decided to find another mercenary group, just to be on the safe side, after all, the wolf army was only a first-level adventure team.

The itinerary was decided at the moment, and he was in a hurry, that is, he would set off tomorrow, and Dopp himself would accompany him, Wang Feng nodded and agreed, and sent people to Dopp to the Adventurer's Guild to register the task, receive part of the deposit, and all the personnel came back to prepare.

Several core personnel were summoned by Wang Feng to agree on the entrusted affairs. Linda, Haring, and Ruohan were all in attendance, as well as two squad leaders of the original Dragoons, as well as brothers who were on duty in the Adventurer's Guild.

First of all, I gave a general explanation of the commission, so that everyone understood the content, and then assigned people.

The empire needs to keep some people here, and Harlem is in charge, and more than twenty of them from the hands of the wolf army are left behind. Aisha and Chuck are estimated to not be able to leave Tiancheng in a short time, these archers sent by Norton need to be trained quickly, and they must be brought with them, and ten other members of the original dragoons were selected, plus Linda and Ruohan, Wang Feng himself also went, and set the preliminary candidates for this mission.

The original equipment of the archers and dragoons was good, and they do not need to be replaced at the moment. Instructed Haring to keep an eye on the changes in the situation in Heavenly City, and adapt to changes, since the artifact was born, it seems that there are some sudden changes in the situation on the continent, and he must prepare early.

Ruohan was puzzled and asked, Wang Feng explained: "We have a saying there, there is no big mistake in being careful. Seeing that Snow was forcibly left behind by his father, and the recent big moves of the Wizards Guild and the Samurai Guild, the high-level of the empire even Emperor Yanjing began to appear and care about some affairs, there should be something going on. Is it worth making such a fuss about the fact that the generalissimo of the imperial army and horses wants to change a few people? It can be seen that there must be something unusual happening behind the scenes, so everyone should be careful. Especially Harlem, who stayed behind, usually pay more attention to the news, and don't ignore any wind and grass. ”

After thinking about it, he continued: "I will leave the crystal card for you, and try to withdraw the gold coins in batches, and use the manpower and money from it if we need it, we need to have our own eyes and ears." Haring understood, but asked, "Why did you want to get the money out of the crystal card?"

Wang Feng said: "If there is any war, who can guarantee that the crystal card can be turned into gold coins." It is safest to have gold and silver in hand, and the remuneration in the future should be handled accordingly. Harlem nodded in response.

Linda then asked, "Does the Boss think there will be a problem with this mission?"

Wang Feng glanced at her approvingly, and said with a smile: "Of course there is a problem, what goods are so urgent that they can't even wait for a few days." When all the merchants and mercenary groups were talking about the artifact, suddenly one of them was in a hurry to leave the Heavenly City, and they didn't dare to find a high-level mercenary group, and they found us to escort them, don't you think it's strange?"

"And it can be seen from Dopp and a few of them that they have good strength in their own right. It also needs to be protected with great fanfare, indicating that the road is not restless. With a large amount of valuable goods, plus a few heads of the empire, aren't you afraid of being wiped out? And hire a low-level mercenary group, which is clearly for thieves to rob. ”

Listening to Wang Feng's words, Linda wondered: "Do they want to divert their attention? Put valuable things in the open, and hire two low-level mercenary groups to escort them, so that the people who make decisions on the road can focus on the goods, and let the more important things or people in the secret leave safely?"

Harlem frowned and said, "What is worth them doing? or something important?"

Wang Feng said his thoughts: "It should be an object, not an important person." They have their own protective forces, and important people must have someone to protect them, and they don't need people from mercenary groups. ”

And what they want to protect should be hidden in these entourages, even if there is an accident, the high-value goods can make the people who want to rob ignore other things, so that the real things to protect can arrive safely. ”

"But they hired us again, which shows that they are not afraid or will not think that we will rob these things, or that we have no interest in these things at all. And let another mercenary group join, just in case. ”

"Although our wolf army said that we had found the artifact, it was not yet to the point where everyone recognized our ability. Our brothers on duty today said that they did not hesitate to go to the guild and directly found us, indicating that they had conducted some investigations on us, but our details could not be found by anyone, and only a few of us were first-level mercenaries who could be found, so it was unusual for them to still believe us. ”

Glancing at these core members of the wolf army, he asked, "Can anyone tell me what we don't necessarily want even if we know about it, what is worth escorting with such a large amount of cargo as a cover, and what is the thing they most want to cover up by using the hands of thieves to eliminate the escort, that is, us?"

Listening to his series of questions, Haring realized, and said with a solemn expression: "Boss, do you think what they want to cover is ......?"

Ruohan seemed to have figured it out, and hurriedly said: "It's the wind, the artifact wind bow!"
