The top-notch magical equipment left behind on the battlefield still has crazy magical power even after a thousand years, which shows how strong the human and financial resources of the Holy See are. Renon thought to himself: With such a strong military force, it is no wonder that the Holy See can control almost the entire Middle-earth continent, although the Eastern Alliance seems to be incompatible with the Western Alliance on the surface, but in fact both of them are Byzantine lackeys.

"Would you like to take this opportunity to visit the Phantom Palace?" Erica asked Rainon.

"Sister Erica, you seem to be interested in the Phantom Palace and those relics of war. Renon didn't answer Erica's question directly.

"You're half right, I do have a strong interest in the Phantom Palace, but I don't have the slightest interest in the broken metal. As she spoke, Erica took out a copy of the Alliance Morning Report from her space bag and gave it to Ryanon, "Look!"

"Kevin Russ's military minister, Duke Duncan, is here today......" Rainon took the newspaper and read it.

"I'm not telling you to watch the news. Look at this ad. ”

"The Wind Demon Mercenary Regiment recruits warriors to go on adventures in the Phantom Palace together, and the rewards are handsome, and the interview is detailed. Interested parties contact: Head Mark Bruce. Contact: ......" Ruinon asked loudly after seeing it, "Are you really going?"

"Well, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity, and it coincides with a long holiday, and if you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"Sister Erica, you must understand that the Phantom Palace is a very dangerous place occupied by countless undead creatures. And the ban is open, and it is likely that there will be a lot of mercenaries like the Wind Demon Mercenary Group who are recruiting troops and planning to go inside, and the place will be very chaotic. ”

"I know the Dao, so I specially learned about spatial teleportation when there was gossip that the Phantom Palace ban was about to be opened. It's really not a big deal!" Erica said triumphantly, "How about it?

"I ...... So dangerous place......" Renon said intermittently.

"Go ahead! It's a really fun place. As Rainon hesitated, the nightmare fanned the flames in his mind.

Even the Knights Templar, known as the strongest legion in Middle-earth, have been defeated. Didn't I go looking for death? Sister Erica at least had one skill to save her life, and I had nothing. Renon protested in his heart.

"Why did you forget me? Woo woo woo! Uncle Ben is so sang! Have you forgotten who helped you get the Flower of Life in the first place? Who led you out of the Black Forest and passed the intermediate magician qualification? Who helped you learn Ice Flash? Who ......?"

"Enough is enough! I'll go! Can't I go?" Rainon couldn't stand the nightmare in his mind.

"That's good! Don't worry, Uncle Ben will come forward at the critical moment, no matter what, I can't let this free apartment be devoured by the undead. ”

"Is it a free apartment again?"

"How about Renong, are you going or not?" Erica looked at Renon's hesitant appearance and suddenly lost her patience, "If you don't go, just say it sooner, don't waste my time." ”

"Hey, I'll go!"

"Yes? I'll decide right away. As a man, you have to be simple. Erica took the newspaper back into the space ring and said, "Tomorrow we will go to the Mercenary Guild to see if this so-called Wind Demon Mercenary Group is reliable." ”

"Good!"

When they got home, Mopra was still dressed in neat clothes and stood at the door to greet them.

"Grandpa Mopra!" Renon waved cheerfully to Mopra, who was standing in the doorway.

Mopra also leaned over and beckoned to them: "Welcome back." ”

"Grandpa Mopra, what's dinner today?"

"Ho ho, today'......s dinner is very rich," Mopra squinted his eyes and raised his finger to explain to Renong, "By the way, the master has a message for you, he said that he is very busy these days, and he has to come back late every night, so you don't have to wait for him these days, just eat when you arrive." ”

"Grandpa, what has he been busy with lately?" asked Ruinon curiously.

"Probably has something to do with the Calritic Alliance, right?" Erica said, taking out the Alliance Morning again, "Kevenlas has officially formed an alliance with Caledia, and Duke Duncan attended a military meeting to discuss the strategic deployment of the Western Alliance. ”

It seems that the alchemy trip was quite effective!,Ruinon thought to himself.

"There should be no mistake, another inevitable war. Mopra looked up at the sky and sighed, "Countless innocent beings have been devoured by the flames of war just because of someone's insatiable desires!"

"War, why should there be war? Isn't it better to live in peace? Is it so crazy in the world?" said Ruinon with his hands clenched into fists.

"Okay, okay, will the situation on the continent of Middle-earth change because of our wishful thinking?" said Erica, spreading her hands, "what can we do if we have no power or strength to discuss some unreasonable ideals? ”

"What are you talking about?" Rynon glared at Erica with angry eyes after hearing Erica's words, "What are you doing with your own business, hanging up your attitude, don't you do it because you think you can't do it?" Ronon has always been polite and humble for the first time speaking to Erica with a rude attitude.

Hearing Ronon's words, Erica not only did not get angry, but turned back and smiled and said to Rainon, "Okay, okay! Don't be angry, little idealist." If you really want to change this world by yourself, then hurry up and do something that is meaningful to you!" she walked quickly towards the courtyard.

Rinon was taken aback by Erica's unusual attitude, and he asked Mopra, "What's wrong with Sister Erica's today?"

"Maybe the war hurt her too much. Mopra said meaningfully as she looked at Erica's distant back.

"Click!" Before she got home, Erica locked herself in the house. She pulled a video crystal ball from her desk drawer, tears streaming down her white cheeks. "Daddy...... Mom ......" she sobbed as she looked at the picture in the crystal ball, "Is war right or wrong......?

Early the next morning, Renong had no bed for the first time, and he came to the door of Erica's room early and waited respectfully.

"Kala!" said with a knock the door open, "Yo! Ronon woke up pretty early today!What's the matter, can't wait to go to the Phantom Palace?" said Erica with a smile on her face as she saw Ronon waiting at the door.

"Sister Erica...... Yesterday I said something very excessive, I'm sorry. ”

"Yesterday? Erica patted her chest and said, "Sister, I have a very big heart. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. ”

"Then why does Sister Sonny keep saying you're a flat-chested girl?" said Ronon with a wicked smile.

"You ......" Erica trembled with anger, and suddenly she heard a roar: "Childish Flame!"

"Ahh

"Oh, what is wrong with you?" said Anne, who came in with the cart and was shocked to see a charred Rainon sitting at the table.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it hurts to get up in the morning to practice magic. After Renon finished speaking, he glanced at Erica, who was huffing and puffing across from him.

"Humph!" Erica let out a grunt.

"Oh, very delicate," said Anne with a smile, "Come, Renon, yours is breakfast bread and hot milk." This one is yours, Miss Erica. ”

After breakfast, Rainon and Erica arrived at the Mercenary Guild, located east of the city center. Compared to the magnificent Wizards' Guild, the Mercenary Guild's three-story old, earthy yellow house is much shabby. However, the focus of the Mercenary Guild is not on the three-story office building, but on the square in front of the office building. The square occupies a large part of the ground, and the center of the field is densely packed with makeshift tents, each of which is crowded with mercenaries who have come to look for missions. They were all five big and three thick, or they were shirtless, with heavy weapons on their backs, tearing their throats open, talking loudly, or recruiting members or asking for commissions. Of course, there were some well-dressed and aristocratic people, and these people were probably rich lords who came to ask for commissions, right?

Erica couldn't help frowning when she saw this noisy scene, and she whispered to Ruinon, "I've heard for a long time that the Mercenary Guild is a very noisy and dirty place, but hearing is believing, and the truth is even dirtier than I imagined. ”

"Uh...... It's okay!" This kind of scene is pediatric for Ruinon, who has been to the orc country.

"Hey, forget it, I won't tell you this. Tent 56, as the newspaper says, is there. Erica took Renon by the hand and dodged from place to place, avoiding the flow of people to the western corner of the square, in front of a red tent.

The tent was low and small, the crimson canvas had faded, and there were a few patches on it, and it was worn and old and unremarkable. There are no signs in front of the tents, so it is quiet.

"This is the Storm Demon Mercenary Regiment?" asked Erica.

"Yes, isn't there a word on the tent?" said a lazy voice from inside the tent.

"Uh, Sister Erica, look. Ruinon pointed to a gray-white "stain" on the tent and said, "I thought it was a stain, but it turned out to be a faded ......."

"I had a feeling of being cheated. ”

"Me too. ”

"Who are you?" said a middle-aged uncle who emerged from the tent, looking at Erica and Renon with a pair of sleepy eyes.

Erica didn't speak, took out the newspaper and pointed to the advertisement on it.

"Are you here to apply?" the uncle asked suspiciously.

"yes, what else are we going to do?"

"Go home, little ones, the Phantom Palace is not a place for you to play with house wine. The uncle said angrily.

"Boom!" Erica burst into two rays of light, one red and one blue, and the fluctuations of the two elements of water and fire spread.

"Magic ...... Magician ......" The middle-aged uncle was suddenly shocked, although he looked lazy, but he had been rolling around in the mercenary world for many years, and he still recognized this "goods". Although the young girl in front of her did not wear the badge of the Wizards' Guild, there was no doubt about her strength, she was a great magician.

"Welcome, welcome, honorable archmage, down here is Mark Bruce, the leader of the Storm Demon Mercenary Regiment. Just call me Mark. Bruce greeted warmly from his lazy look.

"Chris Yavinde. This is my brother Phil Yaounde. Erica introduced her under a pseudonym, "What? You're the only one in this mercenary group?" She was worried that Constantine's name would be too loud, so she saved some unnecessary trouble by using a pseudonym.

Hearing Erica say the pseudonym Renon looked at her in confusion, Erica pinched Renon's waist to cooperate with this.

First of all, it is impossible for a little girl like this, who has the strength of a great magician at such a young age, to be born in an ordinary family, and she has never heard of any aristocratic family with the surname Yaounde, and secondly, with the reaction of the little boy, Chris Yaounde is a pseudonym. They should be the children of a noble family, and when they learned that the ban of the Phantom Palace had been lifted, they didn't know how to go in and play.

It's a problem! Bruce secretly reminded himself that it was okay to go on adventures with the children of the upper class? Then he thought again: if something happens, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, but it is too tempting for a great magician to want to join his junior mercenary group. You must know that the profession of Dao magician is a very noble and rare existence in the Middle-earth continent, and the mercenary groups that can afford to hire a great magician are at least at the intermediate level, because only they can afford to pay expensive remuneration. (Mercenary group grading system: from high to low: special mercenary group, senior mercenary group, intermediate mercenary group, low-level mercenary group, junior mercenary group.)

The grading criteria are generally based on the total number of members, the number of high-level strength members, and the history of completing tasks. High-level strength refers to the level of magicians at least archmage, warriors such as swordsmen at least high-level swordsmen, hand-to-hand fighters at least fighters, and warriors at least high-level warriors. The completion of the task resume mainly depends on the total number of tasks completed since its establishment, how successful the success rate is, how difficult the task is, customer evaluation, etc.

Special grade: the total number of members is not less than 1,000, and the number of high-level strength personnel is not less than 100.

Senior: The total number of members shall not be less than 500, and the number of high-level strength personnel shall not be less than 50.

Intermediate: more than 100 members with a total of 500 members, and no less than 10 high-level strength personnel.

Low-level: more than 10 members with a total number of members, and at least one high-level strength personnel.

Beginner: The total number of members is less than ten, and high-level strength personnel are dispensable.

Of course, due to special circumstances, the mercenary group can be promoted to a high-level or even special-level mercenary group according to the number of high-level strength and the number of people who have completed the task. ）

(Mercenary task classification: Out of consideration for customer needs and the safety of employees in the mercenary industry, the mercenary guild specially divides the mercenary task into levels.) There are six levels of missions: Special, Dangerous, Difficult, Normal, Simple, and Safe.

Special level: It is the highest level of restriction among all tasks, this task is not necessarily the most dangerous task, but it is specially divided into this level for the special needs of customers, and has extremely high requirements for execution efficiency, success rate and confidentiality. Only the Special Mercenary Group is allowed to take over.

Danger level: The task is the most dangerous and difficult. Only Premium and Senior Mercenary Groups are allowed to take over.

Difficulty: Danger and difficulty are second only to danger, and mercenary groups above intermediate and intermediate are allowed to take over.

Normal: A relatively safe mission, allowing low-level and above-level mercenary groups to take over.

Easy: A very common quest that allows beginners and mercenary groups to take over.

Security Level: A mission that any mercenary group can take over.

The cost of mission entrustment varies depending on the level, but of course the Mercenary Guild can provide designated service registration. The client can designate a mercenary group to carry out a mission, and the assigned task ignores the ranking, and the mercenary guild is not responsible for the failure compensation and does not assume any responsibility. Only the registered Mission Mercenary Guild will provide the Mercenary Corps' mission history and compensation for customer service failures. Mercenary Corps internal missions do not participate in resume recording and failure compensation. )
