A few minutes later, the group was led by the guards into the spacious hall of the Lord's Palace.

When Zuo Si saw the high-ranking priests and presiding priests around him who wore different holy emblems, he immediately realized what a huge panic and survival pressure the monster army outside the city had brought to the city.

You must know that under normal circumstances, it is not very difficult to get a group of churches that are usually intriguing for believers and influence, or even sending people to assassinate each other's high-level churches, to sit together and cooperate.

But now, whether it is Talos, the god of storms, Ambory, the goddess of the sea, or the god of the neutral camp, Haim, the god of guards, Tampas, the god of war, or the loyal god of courage and Ilmat, the god of suffering, of the good camp......

All of these churches of God sent representatives of the highest rank to sit here and discuss how to withstand the deadly threat outside the walls.

Because monsters don't believe in human gods.

If they rush in, they will kill all the priests and destroy the temples and temples dedicated to the human gods.

After all, both orcs and goblins have their own gods.

The Gnolls mostly believe in the Demon Lord of the 422nd Layer of the Abyss, the King of the Gnolls, Yenogu.

The snake people and lizardmen still maintain the ancient tradition, and regard the "Seth (Myrsok)" and "Semuanya" that split off from the "Universal Serpent" as their only faith.

In the Faeron Continent, the conquests and conflicts between different races are always inseparable from the gods who support them.

After figuring out the situation, Zuo Si took off his hood to reveal his slightly immature face, and stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly to the local lord: "Good evening, honorable earl." We are travelers who have traveled with a caravan from the southern port of Carlin to the north to Ascatla, the capital of Am. You can call me Soth. ”

"You're the leader?"

A look of surprise appeared on Wicks Target's tired face.

Without him!

It's really that Zuo Si's age seems too young, too young to be a qualified adventurer.

In comparison, the soldiers behind him, the orc Rhett, the pyromancer Alena, and the paladin Aroline looked a little more reliable.

Zuo Si saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, and nodded with a smile: "That's right!" I'm the team leader. As far as I know, Myratma needs someone to help solve the current crisis, doesn't it? ”

"Do you have a way?"

Wicks Target's eyes were full of suspicion.

"Of course! Why would we have come to the city at such a great risk? Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

No way!

Who made his appearance look so young, and his charm attribute was so low.

The reason why he was able to mix well in Port Carlin before was mainly due to the blessing of the merchant Bernard and the captive captain of the "Bloody Hand" Harlet.

As soon as he landed, the leader of the Thieves' Guild, Epke, had a preconceived idea that he was a powerful necromancer who had taken possession of a young body through evil magic.

Later, he befriended Elsa, a merchant of magical items, and established a partnership through the creator's special abilities.

But now, all of a sudden, in a completely unfamiliar environment, the disadvantages suddenly became apparent.

Fortunately!

At this moment, Aroline took the initiative to stand up and promised, "Lord Earl! I swear by the glory of the god of suffering and the holy warrior.

Soth is definitely a qualified leader and powerful spellcaster, as well as the only one who can solve the crisis.

Just this afternoon.

He had just annihilated a raiding force of orcs, gnolls, wolves, and goblins on the south bank of the Isis River, numbering in the thousands. ”

"What? It's true? How do you do that? ”

"Those monsters have already started to cross the river?!"

"Damn! What do they want to do? Want to sneak around the front walls? ”

……

All of a sudden, many people present became extremely nervous after hearing the news.

They weren't sure if it was a conspiracy by the Red Dragons and the monster army.

As Myratma is a city built on the estuary of a large river.

Therefore, to the west is the endless sea, and to the south is the river Isis.

Normally, only the north and east sides need to be protected against enemies from land.

This means that the city wall near the river to the south is relatively low, and the entire dock area to the west is completely exposed to the protection of the wall.

If the enemy were to attack from these two places bypassing the front, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.

Although Zuo Si's annihilation of a monster army of thousands on the south bank of the river sounds a bit outrageous.

But no one would doubt that the words that came out of the mouth of a paladin were lies.

With Aroline's guarantee, Count Wicks Target's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and he barely squeezed out a smile and tentatively said, "If you don't mind, can you tell me how you plan to deal with the monster army outside the city, and their master, a powerful and evil red dragon?" ”

"It depends on what you can offer to hire us." Zuo Si replied meaningfully.

"Hire?"

Count Wicks Targett was visibly flustered.

Because he saw that there were paladins in the team, he subconsciously thought that the other party was motivated by some kind of "good" or "righteous" purpose, and took the initiative to fight against the expansion of evil forces.

But now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

At least as a paladin, Aroline, doesn't seem to have much say in this strange team.

"Yes, hire."

Zuo Si nodded seriously.

"After all, to destroy so many monsters outside the city, and a red dragon that is eyeing the city, not only does it take a huge risk, but it also consumes a lot of potions, scrolls, and magic items.

Whether it's reasonable, you, as a lord, deserve to compensate and reward us, don't you?

And I'm not going to ask you to pay right away, but after you've completed the task.

That way, you don't have to worry about being scammed. ”

"You have a point, I don't have any reason to refuse. If you and your companions are able to deal with the army of monsters outside the city, or weaken them to the point where they can't defeat Myratma, I'm willing to give you 50,000 gold coins and two magic items as a reward. ”

When Count Wicks Target heard that he was paid for completing the task, he immediately promised without hesitation.

Even if he took out 50,000 gold coins and two magic items at one time, it was also a big burden for his family.

But it's still a hundred times better than being breached by an army of monsters, and eventually losing your territory and becoming nothing.

"I also need to borrow the local mage tower to make some necessary items."

Zuo Si made an additional request.

You don't need to ask to know that he wants to prostitute the reserve energy of the local mage tower for nothing.

"No problem! My Mage Tower is willing to open its doors for you to use. ”

The old mage agreed without even thinking about it.

For him, once the monster occupies the city, with his own spell-casting ability, it is basically impossible to close the entrance and hide in the mage tower to reserve energy to resist the opponent's attack.

Simply let it go and let Zuo Si try it.

Anyway, even if it fails, there is nothing to lose.

But if you succeed, you can keep the Mage Tower that you spent a lot of money on, and continue to enjoy the benefits of monopolizing the city's magical resources.

In this way, after reaching a simple verbal agreement, Zuo Si immediately led the people to follow the old mage to the only magic tower located in the center of the city.

He had only one goal, and that was to draw as much energy as he could, and make as many cards as he could.
