Chapter 18: Thoughtful Search for New Friends (Part 3)

At this moment, the task registration office in the hall, those construct-like puppets that were originally standing in the corners of the place, also activated at the same time: the magic furnace on the puppets' chests began to rotate rapidly, the magic crystals inside began to play a role, and the power grooves transmitted from the furnace to all parts of the limbs also began to light up one by one, providing a huge amount of energy for these cold constructs made of metal.

A pair of crystal-made eyes on the construct began to shoot scarlet light, scanning all the people present in the mercenary hall in a circle.

In just an instant, the entire adventurer's hall fell silent, and the shouting and impetuousness that had been everywhere just now disappeared at once.

All the adventurers and mercenaries stopped what they were doing, and stood motionless, not even daring to breathe, barely complaining, including Johnny.

On more than one occasion, Johnny had seen some newcomers, reckless, and rude adventurers who had broken in and yelled at the hall rules without carefully reading the rules of the hall.

After they made a move to threaten the guild mission registrar, or went to break the order of the guild hall, and the warning was ineffective. Without exception, these unruly newcomers were smashed in the head by these powerful metal structures, and that situation was really unappetizing.

Johnny had inquired privately that these big guys with a terrible metallic sheen on their bodies were steel puppets that the mercenary guild had paid a lot of money for from the Pompeii Empire.

They are powerful and agile, and their bodies are not afraid of swords, they will only carry out the orders of their controllers, and they will not hesitate or flinch even if they are crushed, and they are the purest killing machines.

They are codenamed "Jason" in honor of a Pompeii alchemical magician who made a significant contribution to the making of puppets throughout history, and who pushed the original stone puppets into the age of crazy metal.

According to reliable grapevine, the highest-end puppet in the Pompeii Empire is a terrifying metal body called "Scissorhands Edward", which is several times larger than the puppets in the hall, up to eight meters high, and their owner, the monarch of the Pompeii Empire.

Although the puppets are dangerous, it is their master, the mage, who is even more dangerous.

The tense atmosphere did not last long, after a few heartbeats of time, the blue light curtain in the hall rose again, separating the ordinary adventurers from the elite, and a mage suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall, he was wearing a crimson mage robe, and on the robe, large groups of red patterns of different shades were constantly changing positions.

Johnny looked at it and felt as if there was lava flowing on it, and the air in the hall was starting to look steamy and twisted from the heat on his robes.

"Elemental Magic Tides?!" a word popped out of the mage's mouth, and it instantly made Johnny remember. Elemental Magic Tides, what is that? Although he didn't understand what the word meant for a while, Johnny was determined to spend money to look up information in the largest library in the Duchy of Dorot when he had time.

The powerful mage stopped in the air and looked around, reached out and took out the magic crystal on a magic lamp, looked at the complex magic circle on the lamp, and frowned again, as if thinking about something.

After a few breaths, he waved his hand casually.

With his movements, all the Construct Puppets that were still on guard returned to their original positions, the scarlet light in their eyes dimmed, and the magical kinetic energy in the furnace in their chests stopped working, reverting to a statue that looked like a decoration

"All the elemental energy has been sucked away, even the weapons and equipment after being enchanted can't escape, and the magic power in the magic crystal has also been absorbed, but the magic crystal in the magic power furnace of the magic puppet has been completely retained. Why is that?"

"Could it be because the magic circle is in a state of activation, and all the magic crystals that are linking to the magic circle and providing magic power can't escape the fate of being absorbed. And the unactivated magic crystal escaped the absorption of the elemental tide?"

The mage muttered to himself, and almost no one heard what he was saying.

The mage's departure was as sudden as his appearance, but all the adventurers and mercenaries present were surprised by it. Mages are wise people who seek the truth, and it makes sense to put strange ways of doing things on them.

After the mage left, everything seemed to be back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

It was only when a team of maids came out of the blue light curtain and replaced the failed magic crystals in the magic lights around the hall with new ones, making the whole hall return to the world of light, which made Johnny feel that everything just now had really happened.

Johnny smelled something unusual from what had just happened, if humans lost the support of magic, would they still be high above and think they were the lords of the Aegean continent?

"I'm afraid I can't even beat a pig-headed person of the Pigg Clan~" Johnny had such a thought flashing through his mind, and he was so frightened that he immediately pinched it off.

At this time, the parchment on the task board was replaced with a new batch:

"The Tornado Mercenary Regiment temporarily hires all kinds of professionals with the army to participate in peripheral operations, and the adventurer team and the mercenary group are welcome to come and cooperate, please ask the mission registrar for details, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and if you mind, please do not receive it. ”

"The Tornado Mercenary Group is looking for all kinds of potions, herbs, and spell scrolls, the quantity is preferred, and the price is superior, if you are interested, please ask the mission registrar to receive the item price list. ”

"The Tornado Mercenary Group is looking for the purchase of the base dragon eight heads, if you are interested, please ask the mission registrar. ”

"The Tornado Mercenary Group recruits temporary logistics personnel, and those with experience in domesticating large animals are preferred, and the remuneration is good. ”

"The Tornado Mercenary Regiment recruits temporary logistics personnel, and those with experience in repairing various large equipment are preferred, and the remuneration is good. ”

......

A long list of quests was rearranged on the quest board, almost all of them from the Tornado Mercenary Regiment.

Where is the Tornado Mercenary Regiment?

It is the largest mercenary group in the Duchy of Dolot, and the patriarch of the Denzer family, Gattuso DenzΓ©, is the leader of this mercenary group.

Previously, the news of the annihilation of Dorot's "Metal Rose" mercenary group and the Duchy's largest "Shabal" slave catcher team in the Danube Wilderness of Bimon has caused a huge wave in the entire human world.

As the representative of the Duchy of Dorot, the country of mercenaries, the largest mercenary group "Tornado" mercenary group deservedly launched "Go to the Danube Wasteland and avenge the heavy scythe!" This attracted all the large and small adventuring groups from all over the duchy and the human world to gather here to seize the opportunity.

And now the opportunity has finally come, and the "Tornado" mercenary group is ready to send troops.

However, according to the grapevine, the real purpose of the Danze family's troops is for a few mysterious Beamon beauties.
