Night falls

As the last team entered the imperial capital, the guards guarding the city walls were also transferred, and the imperial capital at night became more vibrant and prosperous, and all kinds of orc traders took to the streets and began to set up stalls;

Everything was so noisy and prosperous, and suddenly such an atmosphere fell cold in an instant, and the busy orcs suddenly looked in one direction, where the sound of two people talking came from;

"Is this the country founded by the orcs? Dick, what do you think?"

"Very good, full of vitality, not as extravagant and dirty as the royal capital, and relatively clean!"

"Alright, alright, we're all here, you can relax a little!"

"Knightly code, never let your guard down around you!"

"Whatever you want, I really don't know what you think, knights almost don't exist in this era, and now they are all swordsmen's world, don't be like this because of the old man's words, according to me, it's better for you to give up!"

This time Dick didn't answer him, and they had reached their destination, the Mercenary Guild.

Since the last time the tripartite forces of the Mercenary Guild, the Magic Tower and the Church were invited by His Majesty Christos Arthur of the Scarlet Empire to verify the Scarlet Trial Tower;

He immediately sent people to establish a contact point for all forces here, and the largest of them, the mercenary union, was also the gathering point where most of the humans came to participate in the league this time;

Pushing open the door, a familiar atmosphere came to the face, the noise, the sound of drinking and fistfighting, and the smell of nothing wafting in the air, even made Sia and Dick feel like they were back in the time of mercenary adventures;

But with a call, they returned to reality: "Two gentlemen, welcome to the Mercenary Guild-Imperial Association, I am the head of this place-Valosi, presumably you should also come to participate in the league!"

"Valosi?" When the two of them heard the voice, they began to search for the existence called Valosi, and just as they were looking around, they suddenly heard the voice again;

"I'm here!" In the direction of the voice, both Thea and Dick lowered their heads, and found that in front of them, there stood an orc with a squirrel's tail;

"You're Valosi, a half-orc?"

"Yes sir, I am a half-orc from the Matsutake tribe, and I lived in the Holy Federation for a long time before coming to the Imperial Capital;

Because this league has gathered a large number of human beings, in order to allow you to integrate into the imperial environment, His Majesty the great Christos Arthur has specially recruited us to serve you. ”

"You guys?" Dick apparently heard the key message from Valosi's words, "Yes, we, besides me, have a lot of orcs in the Mercenary Guild!"

"It seems that your majesty has put a lot of effort into this league!"

"Of course, after all, the purpose of this league is to witness the alliance agreement between orcs and humans, so many things must not be sloppy. ”

"But on the way here, I sensed that the orcs in the imperial capital seemed to be a little unwelcoming to us, and I saw that my kind of people were also gathered in this guild, and they didn't seem to have any intention of going out to watch. ”

At first glance, Sia's words seemed to be asking Vasiluo's reason, but there was a hint of questioning in his words, and when Vasiluo heard it, his smiling expression gradually returned to his calm;

"Two gentlemen, you only came to the imperial capital today, it can be said that everyone has chosen it, the latest batch, there may be some things you don't know, about the inferior nature of human beings, it will bring trouble to many things!"

Vassilo's sudden change of attitude, as well as a chill when he said this, made Sia seem to be in a cold pool, and the voice and temperature in the guild gradually disappeared;

He was left with only endless darkness and silence, and he suddenly turned his head to see that Dick's figure had also disappeared, and the next moment Sia wanted to call for help, but in this space, he could not make a sound;

"Young Master Xia, what's the matter, please explain, Your Excellency Vasilo!"

Holding Sia, Dick slowly placed him on the ground, then grasped the heavy sword at his waist, his eyes fixed on the short half-orc, his eyes full of tightness;

A force emerged from Dick's body, eventually converging into the form of a shield, and the symbol appeared on the unconscious Sia;

"It's really rare, I actually saw a knight here, I thought this profession would have been extinct a long time ago! ”

Just when Dick was on full alert, a voice came from the crowd of mercenaries, and a burly man walked out of the crowd, expressing great surprise at the changes in Dick's body;

Dick's figure was already relatively burly among the mercenaries, but when the big man walked up to Dick, he was already relatively petite;

"Who are you?" Seeing the visitor, Dick not only did not panic, but asked very calmly, for the question of the young man who postponed, the big man was obviously a little stunned, he did not expect that among the mercenaries, there would be people who did not know him;

"Huh, are you asking who I am?"

"Yes, don't you know your name?"

"Interesting, interesting! As a mercenary, didn't you read the mercenary guide?"

"I'm not a mercenary, I'm just the inheritance knight of the Young Master Xia family, and Young Master Xia is an excellent B-rank mercenary!"

"By the way, I forgot, the particularity of the knight profession, after all, I haven't seen it for a long time, such a pure knight as you exists!"

"If you don't have anything else to do, please get out of the way, I still have some things to deal with with this Vasilo, if you stay here, what will happen next, I can't guarantee your safety!"

Hearing Dick's words, the burly man no longer laughed, but took out a special golden coat of arms from his bosom and handed it to Dick;

"Although you are not a mercenary, the young master of Xia Xia that you follow, since he is a B-level mercenary, he should have also told you about the mercenary coat of arms, what does this coat of arms mean, I don't need to talk about it!"

took the coat of arms, the big man in front of him was right, although he did not join the mercenaries, but he followed the side of West Asia, and he also saw a lot of things, and he also knew about the mercenary coat of arms;

The mercenary coat of arms is a mercenary's identity certificate, divided according to the level, a total of seven levels, and the tasks completed in each stage are accumulated to accumulate mercenary points;

When the number of points reaches a certain level, the lower level can apply for a promotion to the higher level mercenary, of course, provided that you need to complete a 'super level mission' beyond the existing level;

The reason why he and West Asia came here was because of this super-level mission, and after West Asia passed the selection of the Mercenary Guild and had the qualifications to participate in the league, he immediately took himself to the imperial capital;

However, because both of them were road idiots, it took a lot of effort to reluctantly rush to the imperial capital in the last batch of large troops, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen on the first day they came here;

On this journey, he had heard Master Xia say countless times that as long as he achieved good results in this league, he could pass the advanced task, and then he could wear the A-level crest;

The tasks that can be accepted in the future will also be raised by a notch, and the rewards will be more generous, so that the Delma family can be better built, and the A-level tasks can be created by pure gold;

When Dick saw the golden coat of arms, he had already guessed that this might be an A-class mercenary, but something magical happened, when the burly man threw the coat of arms to Dick, there was a sudden change;

The golden coat of arms gradually turned earthy yellow, and a mountain sign made of earth and stone appeared on it;

"Fantasy Crest! You're the Mercenary Leader?"

"It seems okay, you still know this, that's right, I'm the president of the Mercenary Guild in the Sunset Mountain Region-Skin, and I'm also the leader of the mercenary side of the league this time!"

"Hello, honorable Lord Skin, but even if you come here, the problem between me and this Valosi has not been resolved, after all, Young Master Sia is still in a coma. ”

"So I'm not here to solve the problem, you step back and let me talk to Valosi. He withdrew his coat of arms, took Dick behind him, and turned to face Valosi;

"Valosi, it's almost over, these two boys just came here, and they don't know anything about the events of the past few days, so don't be angry with them!"

"Mr. Skin, you must have heard that gentleman's words, and the tone in which he said said to me that if you really let him out, you should know that what happened a few days ago will definitely happen again!"

"Yes, yes, you're right, especially at this time period, we should be more tolerant of each other, believe me, when I popularize what happened recently to these two boys, they will definitely be honest!"

"This is the best, most of the orcs living in the imperial capital have escaped from your human living area, and there has always been prejudice in your hearts, if you are doing excessive things, you can only end up like those few people!"

"Clearly, you see, these two children ... ”

Looking at Sskin's expression, Vasilo shook his head, only to see an afterimage passing by, supporting Dick in Sia, only to feel a slight chill on his neck, as if something had slipped through;

Thinking of Vasile's disappearance, he immediately looked around Sking, only to find that Vasiluo had returned to the position where he had just disappeared, and at the same time he was holding two hazelnuts in his hands!

Immediately afterward, Dika found that the West Asia she was holding suddenly woke up, her hands constantly grasping the air, and her eyes were full of horror;

When the noise in the mercenary guild reached his ears again, he reacted and looked around blankly;

"Young Master Xia Xia, you, are you okay!?"

"I... You, you're Dick, what's wrong with me?" Looking at Dick's familiar face, Sia fell into confusion, and seemed to have no memory of what had happened before;

"You've just been attacked, and I don't know how Vasilo did it, but it should have put you in a kind of mental illusion, by the way, this is Lord Skin, who just showed me the fantasy badge!"

"Fantasy badge, Skin?" Following Dick's finger, Sia looked at Si Jin on the side, and the next second, Sia instantly sobered up;

"You're the mercenary leader of the Sunset Mountains, Sky!"

"Yo, wake up so soon, come, come, have a glass of rum and recover!" At Sky's invitation, Sia and Dick stepped into the crowd;

"Since the matter has come to this point, then Chairman Lao Shijin is responsible for asking the two gentlemen to introduce the preparations and taboos before the league, so as not to happen again than the incident I thought about last time!"

"Okay, no problem!"

After receiving Skin's assurance, Vasilo vanished in front of him as an afterimage, and when he reappeared, he was already shuttling through the crowd, constantly passing wine glasses and food;

There are many orcs like him in the mercenary guild, and they even look almost the same, they are all from various sub-tribes of the goblin settlement;

Squid is very familiar with these orcs, after all, he is in the Sunset Mountains, but there are a large number of goblin tribes living on the continent, and they have another name - yodelers!

......

On the other side, the camp of magicians, which is also a gathering place for humans, the Magic Guild;

It seems very quiet and gives the impression that no one exists;

Suddenly, a 'boom' sound came from the depths, and then, in the dark night sky, a long wisp of colorful smoke rose;

As if something was announced, with the first explosion, followed by several bombardment sounds in a row, the quiet magic guild instantly became lively;

"Who is it this time?"

"Who else could it be, of course that Clermont madman!"

"Ahhh

"Why don't we come back and find someone to talk to him!"

"Looking for someone, who is going, I'll give a bottle of Sanpin Extract Liquid and offer a heavy reward!"

"Me too, I'll give out a bottle of petrified skin potion!"

........................

As the shouts became more and more, the number of potions used to reward at this time had accumulated to a very rich level, and at this time, a shout came from outside the Magic Guild;

"I'm coming!"

A figure walked in, with unusual hair and skin, and protruding tentacles on its head, it was clear that it was a half-orc;

The layout of the Magic Guild is not the same as that of the Mercenary Guild, it is almost a small room built up of a field, surrounded by simple walls, so what is going on inside can be clearly known to the surrounding orcs;

Of course, around the Magic Guild, there should be no orcs nearby, just like the Mercenary Guild, which was true at first, but as the magicians made more and more noise, they became louder and louder;

The orcs in the distance gathered together, and a 'Brave Treasure Hunt' link was born, the purpose of which was to disturb the magical research of a man named 'Clermont';

The longer he interrupts his magic, the more potion rewards he can get, and of course, this magician called Clermont is also very powerful;

As the orcs entered it, after a while, there was a sound of smashing, accompanied by the sound of fire, thunder, and wind blades, and the magic was turbulent, and the elements were disordered;

It only lasted a quarter of an hour, and the orcs who had entered before were swept up by a tornado and ran into the distance, turning into the brightest star in the night sky;

And just as he was being thrown, there were voices of excitement in the other small houses, and one after another, test tubes full of potions chased him in the direction of flying away;

"Finally it worked!"

"That's it, that's it!"

........................

............

......

As for the place where the last force, the Church, is located, unlike the first two, they are the earliest and quietest of all the forces of humanity;

When they came to the imperial capital, they established church branches, a complete church, almost identical to the other churches on the continent, and then they did the same thing as they did elsewhere;

Helping the poor orcs in the imperial capital, helping the half-orcs who are inconvenient in life, almost all the time doing good deeds, harvesting in a short period of time, most of the orcs agree;

But what they didn't know was that under this holy church, there was a secret space, and in this space, there was no deep evil, only two magic arrays flickering;

One was a golden magic circle, from which a holy, pure and gentle aura constantly emerged, while the other magic circle seemed to be outlined with blood;

It was full of weird, evil, chaotic aura, and there were some tearing and roaring sounds, which emerged from time to time, and suddenly other sounds appeared in this space, which seemed to be footsteps;

The sound of 'tapping, tapping' became clearer and clearer, although a figure wearing a hooded appeared, and when he walked near the dark red magic array, he stopped;

When he stopped, a 'tick-tock' sound appeared, and by the faint light it was visible, hidden in the hood;

It was a skeletal face, not a little lifeless except for the faint flickering blue ghostfire.

I saw that the hooded skeleton raised its arm, and on the pale bone arm, there were actually several half-orc corpses hanging, and with a slight shake, the corpses of these half-orcs fell into the dark red magic array;

As a blood-red light flashed, the magic array transformed into a black abyss, and then a huge beast claw appeared in the abyss, slowly dragging these half-orc corpses into the abyss;

After doing all this, the hooded skeleton gradually walked to the holy light magic array on the other side, jumped forward, and after a golden holy light flashed, a person wearing a bishop's costume walked out of the magic array;

Amazingly, Bishop Moos!

After stepping out of the Holy Light Circle, Bishop Mus began to look at the changes in his body, and when he finally felt that there was nothing unusual, he first thought about it for a while, and then looked very melancholy, and kept muttering in his mouth;

"Not enough! Not enough! Still not enough, the time set by His Majesty the Pope is almost up! But this is far from enough!"
