Chapter XVI: The William Family

After learning this, I couldn't help but become interested in this mercenary mission, because it is said that this magical beast that accidentally broke into the nearby sea area is actually likely to be a magical beast that surpasses the ninth order, although there is no very detailed information in the thieves' union, but just looking at the fact that it can control so many middle and high-level magical beasts, its strength will definitely not be worse than that of the ninth-level upper level magical beasts. And according to the experience of dealing with the attacks of demonic beasts on the sea on Dragon Island, every time the demonic beasts attack, there will always be one or two powerful demonic beast leaders, and when they were on the dragon island, there were high-level holy beasts. The upper-level holy beast is already beyond the ordinary adult dragon, and the adult dragon is generally only equivalent to the middle-level holy beast. But after all, it was in the deep sea, and if it was here, it could probably only be a lower-level holy beast level at most, after all, it was only a first-level demonic beast at most before. The Holy Beast's Crystal, that is also very tempting to me, and I have only gotten a piece from Elder Duck so far.

I made up my mind and decided to stay in this small town for two more days, because the high tide was just two days away. Anyway, Elder Ruth just asked me to get the dragon crystal, and he didn't say when, and the dragon crystal was extremely hard, and it was impossible to destroy it at all, at most, it was just inlaid into a weapon or protective gear to use as a magic crystal, so there was no need to rush it.

Since I decided not to leave right away, I began to drink leisurely and feel the difference between this place and the bars on the earth. I don't have anything to say about the hustle and bustle of the bar, but the crowd of people with knives and swords in the bar makes me feel a completely different atmosphere. Several dissolutely dressed dancers danced feverishly in the crowd, not minding the claws of Lushan cast on their bodies by the mercenaries around them, and the mercenaries also let out bursts of enthusiastic cheers from time to time. Several busy girls are busily shuttling through the crowd with plates, laughing and scolding the guests from time to time. The boss is an old goblin, the goblin is a timid and weak race, they are generally short, dark-skinned, dark green long hair, they look ugly but they have long elven-like pointed ears, it is said that in ancient times, goblins were once a branch of the elven race. Every goblin is a good businessman, and if it weren't for their naturally cowardly surname, they would undoubtedly be the richest race on the continent.

Sitting alone in the corner, I listened boredly to the braggings of several old mercenaries next to me, and watched them amusefully and excitedly for a mid-level magical beast they had killed, but the wonderful life of the mercenaries they talked about slowly attracted me. Every old mercenary is a battle-hardened warrior and a well-informed traveler who has traveled all over the world, and I have secretly decided to apply to become a mercenary later.

Opening the map I had just bought from the Thieves' Guild, I looked at where I was. I was amazed by the detail of this map, which not only depicted the terrain in detail, but also marked the spheres of influence of each country, and even marked which lords some of the territories belonged to, and the lords of some cities. However, the price of 100 gold coins also deeply reflects the point that 'good goods are not cheap'.

After checking the map, I found that the city I am currently in is located in the small country of Kalenga, which is the domain of the Grand Duke William, and I don't know if it is because it is in this city, so the small city is marked in great detail on the map. According to the above indication, the lord of the town is Chaha, the second son of Grand Duke William and #8226, William, it is precisely because the town has been attacked by demonic beasts that the duke sent his second son here to take on the duty of guarding.

While I was drinking leisurely in the bar and listening to the mercenaries around me, there were several people in the City Lord's Mansion who were speculating on my strength, these people were the old magician who sent me into the city, the swordsman Mark, the female owner of the equipment shop, Lady William, and the owner of the small town, Chahar #8226; William.

With the equipment made of the skins of these monsters, not only can the prestige of our equipment shop be greatly improved, but also our strength can be greatly improved, and we will be more confident in resisting the siege of the monsters this time. The old magician laughed happily.

"It's a pity that he only sold the hides, not the magic crystals, otherwise, it would have helped us a lot. Lady William said regretfully.

"We can't be too greedy, we can't be too greedy in business, we can't be insatiable, it's our luck that he can sell us so much leather. The old man gave Lady William a displeased look.

"Yes, Dad, my daughter-in-law is just a little regretful, not thinking about anything wrong. Lady William replied in a low voice.

"Could that Long Hangu also be a mercenary who took over the mercenary mission?" Lord William said excitedly: "If these demonic beasts were killed by himself, then he may be a great swordsman or even a master of the sword saint level, then with his help, we will have a greater chance of resisting the attack of this demonic beast."

"I think he should have the strength of the Sword Master, because I just had a brief look at him, and I felt like my mind was being robbed. Even if it's just an upper-level Great Sword Master, it will definitely not give me such a feeling as a lower-level Great Sword Master. Mark affirmed.

The old man asked in surprise, "You mean, this Long Hangu is the young man who refused to accept my invitation? I can't feel his strength at all? Could it be that he has surpassed me? How can he have such a strong strength at such a young age?"

"I believe it should be him, and even if it is not, the young man is definitely not simple. At the time, I didn't think about it, and I thought that I was scared by him because of my accident, but now that I think about it, at that time, because I was angry, my fighting spirit was almost running all over my body, and I would still be scared by him, which can only show that his strength is definitely above me. Mark affirmed.

"That Long Gutian is indeed a young man, with dark blue hair and eyes, ah! The swordsman suit on his body, I am definitely not a simple material, it should be made of at least the skin of an eighth-level demonic beast, I actually looked away just now! It is because of his temperament, a very elegant temperament, that I forgot to pay attention to the clothes on his body. Lady William recalled, affirming.

"It should be him, I didn't think I could look away, I just thought he was funny. It seems that he has never walked on the continent before, and he probably couldn't even pay the gate tax when he first entered the city! It seems that we should find an opportunity to see if we can get acquainted with him, if we can have another master like this in our family, it will be a wonderful thing to think about!" the old man said intoxicatedly.

"Father, the boy will immediately send to find out where he lives. The city lord said dryly.

"Well, as long as you know where he lives, don't do anything else, tomorrow I'll find a time to meet him in person, find out his tone, even if I can't let him join our family, I have to get in touch with him. The old man's face was serious, and he turned to Mrs. William and said: "You send me a message, as long as it is the property of the William family, all of you will treat him as a VIP in the future, and I will severely punish any branch that neglects him." ”

"Yes", both husband and wife replied respectfully to the old man.

Not to mention the plans of the William family, I was going to find an inn to live in first, but I didn't expect that because of the large number of mercenaries pouring into the town, the inns in the town were already full, and even the occasional spare rooms had been booked. Actually, I don't have a place to live, it's just a little trouble for me, anyway, I've been meditating all along, and sleeping was already a few years ago, so I didn't care, so I stopped looking for a guest room and went directly to the mercenary union.

entered the mercenary union, but it was a hall, and it was crowded with people. On the wall at the front of the hall was a huge blackboard, and I looked at the words on it curiously.

First: S-Class Mission - Searching for the blood of the undead phoenix. Find the Cave of Flames in the majestic Idagar Mountains and slay the undead phoenix inside to obtain its blood. Reward: 100,000 purple gold coins and the title of Knight of Light of the Holy See. Time: Two hundred and twenty-four years.

Second: S-Class Mission - The Threat of the Poison Dragon Ammodi. Every once in a while, the greedy poisonous dragon Ammodi robs villages on the borders of the Sharat Empire. O great warriors, go and help the innocent villagers and slay the evil dragons. Quest Item: Dragon Crystal. Reward: 100,000 purple gold coins, and can get the title of Count of the Sharat Empire. Time: Two hundred and twenty years.

Third: S-Class Mission - Exploration of the Forest of Death. The Death Forest on the border between the Gulhas and Ottous Empires has greatly hindered the development of commerce between the two countries, so in order to open new trade routes, adventurers should explore the terrifying Forest of Death and uncover its mysteries! Rewards: 80,000 amethysts, and the titles of Earl of the Ancient Chas Empire and the Ottoid Empire. Mission time: 180 years.

From top to bottom on the blackboard, there are S-class and A-class tasks that no one has completed for a long time, and looking at the tasks above, even now I am not sure that I can complete them really. You must know that at that time, it is not as simple as just one holy beast to deal with, and the demonic beasts within the sphere of influence of the holy beast will be directly or indirectly controlled by the holy beast. Under the siege of a large number of high-level demonic beasts, it is really not a simple matter to deal with holy beasts. No wonder no one has been able to complete these tasks for hundreds of years.

"Registered mercenaries. I finally came to the counter and said to the beautiful girl inside.
