53 Chapter 53
The tavern lobby is not a good place to discuss the details of the mission, and most of the mercenaries who come here to find work usually just meet here, and after finalizing the general agreement with the guide or employer, they will go to a private room to discuss specific matters. At this time, a few people who were discussing going to the ruins of Granence City asked for a few glasses of wine and a few dishes in a private room upstairs of the tavern, and listened to old Henry explain the situation.
Since there were two inexperienced newcomers, the old Henry spoke in great detail, and even introduced the history of Gran Ence: "Gran Lens City was destroyed five hundred years ago, and before the destruction of Granence City, it was the magic and cultural center of the entire Visby 6 at that time, and the area was ten times the size of the McCann City where we lived, and there were countless masters gathered there, and there were countless powerful magic items. It is said that at that time, there were hundreds of large magic airships that were parked in the empty alleys of the city for a long time! It's a pity that such a city was destroyed in a stupid civil war, and because of the incalculable power of the top magic performed by various magic masters in the battle at that time, coupled with the destruction of a large number of powerful magic items, the entire city ruins were a forbidden area for life for a hundred years after the battle, and no one could come back alive after entering! It wasn't until two hundred years later that the danger was much lowered, and many valuable ruins were opened up during that period. Until the last hundred years, few valuable treasures have been discovered there, and the ruins are not so dangerous that few people will enter them now. β
After introducing the historical background of Granence City, old Henry took a sip of the black cin wine in front of him and talked about this mission in a straight way: "As I just said, the ruins of Granence City have long been hollowed out by their predecessors, and there are not many valuable things, but they are quite dangerous. However, the location of the place you are going to this time is not too deep, and it has been excavated once before, and now it is only a secret room that was missed at that time, so the danger should not be too big. β
"Do you know what kind of chamber it is?" asked Urruti with her javelin in her arms, to old Henry.
"A magical manor of an alchemist master. Old Henry said and glanced at Moeller, who was also an alchemist, and said: "The magicians of the alchemy school love to build a secret room and traps and other things, to put it bluntly, they dig holes everywhere like gopher spirits, so that you can't guard against it, in order to open the treasure of this alchemy master, you definitely dug three feet into the ground and brushed it again, no one thought that there would be any omissions!"
Seeing that the others were also looking at him because of Old Henry's words, Moeller, who was also an enchanter, touched his nose a little embarrassed, so he said to Urruti: "If you have alchemy notes, I hope you can buy them first." β
Urruti raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was about to say something, but Moller added, "The price is negotiable." She resolutely agreed.
"There are other forces in this city who also know the news, so you have to be careful not to be plotted, don't be reluctant to do anything now, collect some sandworm glands on the periphery and come back and make money. Old Henry finally told Mole and Ereba that they were listening attentively, and that he got up to leave, and when he came to the door, as if he remembered something, he turned back and said to them, "By the way, you two can learn from Urruti how to pack your bags, and you must put all four of them in order before you go out tomorrow." β
After old Henry left, Urruti took more than ten seconds to react: "What four people, not three ......" Then she saw Rex in Moller's arms, and said in disbelief: "You won't go to Granence and take this burden with you, right?"
Before Moller could speak, the little guy who was called a burden exploded: "What! You dare to say that the great Rex is a burden, sue you, I will also do magic, oh, if you dare to look down on me, I will burn you!"
"He's also a magician?"
Urruti looked at the doll who was pulled by Moeller and didn't forget to wave her little fist at herself, thinking that both brothers were magicians - generally only a very noble bloodline could guarantee such a high chance of a magician, and she vaguely felt that the two brothers must not be from a low background.
Moeller tapped Rex on the forehead and said, "I told you not to tell you so lightly, you can easily be beaten by bad people, you know!"
Rex lowered his head aggrievedly, glared at Urruti secretly, and whispered to Moeller: "Then what to do, she already knows, why don't we kill it!"
He just thought he was very quiet, but when Urruti heard it, he only thought it was Tong Wuji, and he didn't care, but Moller was amused, and knocked on the door of his head again before saying: "Miss Urruti is the person introduced by old Henry, and if she wants to do tasks with us, she can naturally be trusted, I am asking you to distinguish the occasion, even if it is in the box, it is not necessarily suitable to tell your secret." β
After teaching his brother a lesson, Moeller said to Urruti with a little apology: "I'm sorry, he has a little lack of discipline. But don't worry, there won't be any trouble taking him on a mission, and I'll take care of his safety myself. β
Urruti stared at Moeller's serious eyes for a moment, then sighed and said nothing, but she was secretly cursing old Henry in her heart, that stinky old man obviously wanted her to be a nanny, and he didn't want to pay for it!
"By the way, Miss Urruty, since we're going out tomorrow morning, could you please explain to us what we need to prepare for our trip to Granence?"
Finally finalized Rex's matter, and Moller quickly changed the subject.
"Yes. β
Urruti suddenly smiled with white teeth, and said happily, "Let's talk about the teaching fee first." β
At this moment, Miss Urruti reminded Moeller of some kind of kind with wings that breathed fire, but she had a lot of emotion. Fortunately, the magicians of the alchemy sect were not short of some small money, and after paying the tuition fees of three silver coins for themselves, Eriba, and Rex, they entered the bazaar under the guidance of Urruti and bought all kinds of materials needed to survive in the wild.
Expeditions to different places require different materials, there is a lot of knowledge in this, Urruti is very experienced, although the fee is a little expensive, but the things explained make Moeller feel that he has benefited a lot, and has a new understanding of this money-loving mercenary.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet the next day, Urruti carried his belongings and carried a javelin on his back, while Moller took Ereba and Rex through a block and walked into a shop called Cloud Boots, which was the most famous boot workshop in McCann City, where many nobles made custom leather boots, and many magicians and mercenaries ordered special monster leather boots here.
When the gray-haired old shoemaker saw Moeller, he smiled and put down the tools in his hand and said, "Mr. Moeller is here, your custom-made boots are ready, please go upstairs and try them on?"
After going upstairs, waiting for Moeller was not only a few pairs of well-made boots, but also a middle-aged woman in a dark green robe, with a silver silk neatly coiled on the top of her head, two temples tied with crystal hairpins with fixed heads, and a pair of light green phoenix eyes.
"Madame Plume. Moller greeted the lady, who was the same person Mephistopheles had told him to come to McCann City in Mephistopheles' letter, the head of the Black Swan Mage's Regiment, and the seventh-order potions master Pleme.
By this time, it had been three months since Moller received Mephistopheles' letter. Because of the seventh-order demon pet Gale Demon Wolf as their foot strength, the thousands of miles from the Proluo Kingdom to McKann City, even if Moeller and Rex were not in a hurry, it only took half a month to arrive. Before entering McCannell City, he made a secret visit to Miss Meryl and Eriba of Frowd.
The king's pursuit of Mephistopheles was carried out in secret, so there was no large-scale arrest and interrogation, so although Moller left with Mephistopheles, he did not implicate anyone else. Miss Meryl, who had been worried about the sudden disappearance of the two Moller brothers, was relieved to see that he was safe.
However, Eriba's situation was not good, because the original city guard was convicted of killing his wife, Furod changed the city guard, and the new city guard changed a cronie as the captain of the guard.
Eriba was very talented and down-to-earth before, so he had a good relationship with the previous captain, but he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the new captain, and he was just a student with no foundation, which was a good target for Liwei, so the new captain found fault everywhere, embarrassed him, and wanted to drive him away. Fortunately, Moller had only been gone for four months, and if he had been a little longer, he would not have seen Eriba.
Moeller saw that Ereba was miserable, and he himself now had a little foundation, so he wanted to take him away, and Ereba who wanted to follow Mole naturally couldn't ask for it.
So after a year, Moller took Rex and Ereba into McCann City as he had planned when he left Stonewall. Unlike back then, Moeller has now become an intermediate magician and has found his own path to becoming a strong man, while Eriba has also learned a solid foundation of martial arts, greatly improved his archery skills, and has the strength of a junior samurai.
When he arrived at McCanne, Moller contacted Plyme according to Mephistopheles's letter, and learned the purpose of his trip.
It turns out that although the war between the Rose family and the royal family has not really started, but the secret you earn and I take it has intensified, the actual controller of McCann City, Earl Weilan, as the big lord, is a major force that both sides attach great importance to, and in order to obtain enough benefits, Earl Weilan is still swaying from side to side, it seems that he wants to settle on both sides and sit on the ground and raise the price himself.
And Moller's trip was a dark move made by Mephistopheles who was impatient with the greed of Count Weyland.
Three years ago, Madame de Preme's only son had a conflict with the youngest son of the Count of Weyland, and was seriously wounded by his guards. Due to the viciousness of the beaters, even Madame Pleme was a high-ranking potions master, and after saving her son, she was left with a lifelong disability.
When Earl Weilan learned of this, he was furious, severely punished the young son, and gave the son of Pleme a generous compensation, which can be regarded as smoothing out the matter.
The world thought that Madame Pleme had endured this hatred because of the power of the Great Lord, but the Rose family had sources that knew that the sorceress had never given up her revenge and had been secretly accumulating strength. At this time, Mephistopheles sent Moeller over as a hidden force to help Madame Plume act and overthrow the family of the Count of Weyland and replace her.
"How's it going, Mr. Moller?" asked Madame Plume, smiling.
"δΈqiΔι‘ΊlΓ¬. Moller nodded and said, sat down with Rex and Ereba and asked, "I wonder who will be sent to Granence by Earl Weyland tomorrow, has Madame heard clearly?"
Madame Plume took out a small palm-length scroll from her sleeve and handed it to Moeller: "My people just got the news that Count Weilan has sent most of the main force of the City Lord's Mansion to worship the mage group, a total of fifteen people, and has also hired the Giant Eagle Mercenary Group as a guard, this is their information, you can take a look." β
Moeller took it and looked at it, and now it not only explained in detail the strength and means of those people, but also a clear image of magic, and sighed in his heart that this Madame Plume was really well prepared.
When he had finished reading, Mrs. Plumme asked, "Is it possible for a gentleman to have confidence in dealing with them?"
Moeller laughed and said, "Don't dare to say anything about them." If nothing else, it would be fine to trap them in the ruins for a day and a night with Madame's arrangement, and as for how much of them can be solved, it depends on luck. β
