Chapter 248: On the eve of the duel

"How much?" Howl's words surprised Holo.

Three thousand adventurers is not a small number, it may not be much in terms of the current number of adventurers in the Heavenly Wind Empire, but the recruitment aspect is a problem, three thousand adventurers will ask for remuneration according to the difficulty of accepting the entrusted task, what kind of person is Huo Man's teacher, Huo Luo knows very well in his heart, if it is not a particularly capable strong man, he will not send Huo Man there for training, and the condition that the other party brings back is three thousand adventurers.

Huo Luo tapped the table with his fingers, and said while thinking: "Now the largest mercenary group in the empire is the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, followed by the Emperor Wind and the Black Moon, the number of fighters in the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group has reached a thousand, most of them are fighters, four-tenths of the war divisions, the scale of the Emperor Wind and the Black Moon Mercenary Group is not large, and it can also make up a thousand people, the mercenary group in the hands of the Sid family is the Emperor Wind and the Black Moon, and the Dragon Soul is not good, they are a cooperative relationship, and they need a great reward, and the other thousand people have to rely on recruitment......"

Holo said, looking at his son......

Homan knew what his father meant, even if it was the current Marton family, the number of 3,000 adventurers was indeed too much, but he knew that his father was capable of doing it.

"Father, Mr. Anjev gave me a few things to ensure that I won the duel, and he also said that this request must be done within three months, and there is no room for negotiation......"

Holo took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and asked, "Did Mr. Anjiefu say what you want so many people to do?"

Huo Man shook his head, then looked up and said, "The teacher only said that he would give the Marton family three bottles of light potion as compensation afterwards. ”

"Elixir of Light?" Holo gasped.

The Light Elixir is almost a legendary holy medicine on the Battle Spirit Continent, it is a forty-fifth level holy medicine that can allow people to recover all their physical strength and fighting qi under any circumstances, even if a war maniac is seriously injured, as long as he is not dead, he can recover in an instant.

After the dark age, the great master of the four systems has fallen and disappeared, this holy medicine has not appeared for hundreds of years, each bottle can be sold at a price equivalent to the magic medicine, the effect is extraordinary, the key is that money can't buy it, the Marton family has a history of hundreds of years, so far, the equipment and emblems collected have the holy product level, but there is only a bottle of medicine, this time the other party took out the light elixir, even if it is worth paying a big price, not to mention the whole three bottles.

"Good. With Homan's words, Holo agreed without even thinking about it: "In three months, three thousand adventurers will definitely be gathered." ”

After talking about business, Holodo asked, "Homan, Anjief has given you something good." ”

Huo Man smiled mysteriously: "Father, you will know when the time comes, maybe you won't need it at all." ”

"That's right, I'm afraid no one would have thought that you have improved four ranks in just two months, this is simply a miracle, that Duan Lie is dead. Homan, there are still three days to go, you have a good rest, this time I want the whole empire to know what happens to those who offend our Marton family. ”

……

Compared with the calmness of the Marton family, the War Soul Academy is a mess, three days have passed quickly, and the duel competition has been prepared, this duel is related to the interests of the two forces, so it is not only the War Soul Academy that is alarmed, almost the entire empire is alarmed by this dispute that has been spreading for two months.

I don't know if it's the Marton family overconfidence, or the disdain for Duan Lie, just two days before the competition, the patriarch of the Marton family, Hodler, personally went to the royal family to invite the first commander of the empire, Generalissimo Inez, as an observer, and personally supervised the scene, Generalissimo Inez is the merit of the empire, although he is very old, but he is one of the three major war maniacs, and was awarded the title of Grand Duke of the empire by the royal family, and his status is similar to that of the king.

Generalissimo Inez, the dean of the War Spirit Academy, His Excellency Dilo, plus the patriarch of the Marton family, Hodler, the three most powerful figures in the entire empire became on-site observers, this move is not insignificant, I heard that on the day of the duel, the eldest prince Eck and the little prince Yatley will also be present in person.

So two days ago, a temporary duel ring was built in the center of the Imperial Square, this ring is thousands of square meters in size, made of precision cast iron mixed with black soil, very strong, ordinary top war divisions don't want to damage a penny, because it is funded by the empire, it can be seen how much attention the royal family attaches to this duel.

This is such a situation, the night before the duel, Duan Lie has not yet appeared.

Because it was the new freshmen of the college, Dilo, Kane, and Trist gathered directly in dormitory 13, and there were many people who came, Craig, Golden Lion, Alarik, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that Erik and Bray and Bol are like them, although the composition of the personnel is uneven, but they all gather here with the same hope.

It's just that......

The protagonist hasn't arrived yet.

"Kane, what the hell are you doing, you actually let that kid run around at such an important moment, tomorrow is the day of the duel, what can I do?" Everyone gathered together from dusk, Eric, Bray, Bor, and Alaric didn't even attend classes during the day, and they ran to Duan Lie's residence to condolence before dawn, who thought that waiting would be a whole day, and now it's more than nine o'clock at night, Duan Lie didn't even have a shadow, no wonder Craig was in a hurry.

Among the people, I am afraid that only Craig dared to speak to Kane like this, and everyone lowered their heads and looked at the red-bearded Kane from time to time.

Kane is also full of fire now, but he can't say it, the truth of the matter seems to be known only to himself and Dilo, but how can I say this? Tell them that the academy has discovered a transition plane, and Duan Lie is collecting supplies for the academy inside? That's not okay.

Kane looked at Dilo for help, Dilo squinted his eyes as if he had just finished napping, and then saw Kane looking at himself with his eyes, yawned and said: "Ah~, this, Duan Lie shouldn't have an accident, wait, wait......"

"Wait, Dilo, you can still sit still, I really convinced you, and I won't send anyone to find it." ”

"In the middle of the night, how do you find it?"

"What did you do two days ago? Such an important matter, if you don't protect Duan Lie well, you actually let him walk around. Craig blew his beard angrily and glared, this duel was not only about the reputation of the War Spirit Academy, as the president of the Appraiser Alliance Guild who fully supported Duan Lie after the incident, Craig felt that this duel was also related to the face of the guild.

Di Luo was confident, a large amount of molten essence gold that Duan Lie took out in the Leaping Plane in a month solved the financial problem that the academy had been unable to solve for many years, and solved the expenses for a year at one time, he knew that Duan Lie was probably still exploring in the plane at this time, of course, he had to keep it secret for Duan Lie.

Di Luo thought about it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's a good thing not to appear, I heard that Huo Man is back and has become very strong, I don't know the bottom of my heart, if I can't fight, I can save my life." ”

"What kind of is this. Craig was in a hurry, and was about to scold, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and he saw Duan Lie walking in with a pale face.

"Huh, they're all in line. ”
