Chapter 3: The Dark Oracle

"You're Wren!" Kruger looked at Wren with a glint in his eyes. Wren was a little embarrassed to see it. This fat old man doesn't have any special preferences, right?

Johnson looked at Kruger's lewd look. I can't help but feel a little helpless.

"Ahem...... Kruger, I heard that you have a task of 10,000 gold coins?" Johnson looked at Kruger's reaction and roughly guessed something. Could it be because of this Rennes?

Hearing what Wren said, the lewd old man let Wren go.

"Yes, Johnson, and this 10,000 gold coins are still related to this Mr. Wren. Kruger said with a smile.

"Wren?" Johnson wondered.

"Not bad. Or that Mr. Wright's commission. He told us to send Wren to the territory of the Night Elves. You should have heard of the reward, it is 10,000 gold coins. Kruger said with a smile.

"Night Elves?" Wren murmured strangely.

"Yes, Night Elves. You're worth a lot, boy. But first of all, we have to be willing to do this. But let's talk about it first, if you don't want to, then we won't refund the deposit of 5,000 gold coins. Kruger stared at Wren again with his extremely lewd gaze.

Confuse Wren, old man!

"Kruger, I don't agree to go to the Night Elf territory. It's too dangerous. Johnson said after a moment of deep thought.

"Captain Johnson! I'm afraid our mercenary group is about to be disbanded......" Kruger reminded in a 'serious voice'.

“......”

Johnson was naturally speechless for a while. He knows the current situation of the mercenary group better than anyone else. From more than 100 people to more than a dozen. There were only a dozen of them, and only four of them remained.

If the mission is not carried out again, I am afraid that this giant stone mercenary group will soon be written off.

"Captain Johnson, Deputy Captain Kruger, I am willing to go to the Night Elf territory. Wren thought about it carefully and said categorically.

He had just come into the world and his mind was a mess. He needs to know the truth about it all. Of course, it would be better to have these people with you.

"Wren! Kruger smiled approvingly.

"Johnson, now the parties are willing to go to the Night Elf territory. And I've already taken the deposit. In case of default, we may face a compensation of 20,000 gold coins. See for yourself. Kruger directly left a sentence.

"That's... Let's go. Johnson was speechless. Inexplicably, he had to escort a paladin to the Night Elf territory. Even if there is no danger on this road, I am afraid it will take more than half a year. He thought that this 10,000 gold coins would not be easy to earn. Moreover, the Night Elf territory has to pass through a lot of wild places on the way. It also includes the Orc Kingdom and other elven territories.

Over the years, the orc kingdom has become more and more civilized. It's pretty good. Those elves don't sell anyone's accounts.

"Johnson, are you worried that the elven territory will not be easy to enter?" Moria looked at Johnson's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

"In fact, our grassland elves and forest elf territories have always been in contact. It's not that hard...... "Molia said.

"No matter how much. Now that the deputy head of the regiment has accepted the commission. So let's leave early tomorrow morning. Johnson made the final decision.

"That's just like the words. Kruger said with a smile.

At this time, I saw Johnny the Minotaur striding in. With a smile on his face, he said to everyone: "Commander, I have another job for us." This is Mr. James, a wealthy local businessman, who has several truckloads of goods to be delivered to Shannan City. ”

Everyone looked at Johnny, where is there anyone here.

Johnny stepped out of the way, only to see a man standing behind Johnny. It's just that Johnny is tall, and he's a little too short. I saw that the man was a thin old man with glasses, and he was inversely related to Kruger.

"You are Mr. Commander. James, the Temptible Lord, is the Baron of the Empire and the mayor of Leadcow Town. I hope that the head of the regiment will accept this commission. There has never been a mercenary organization in the area, so I have to go to Tia City to entrust a mercenary escort. Now that you're here, you've saved me a lot of trouble. Of course, I'm the only one in this lead cow town who needs your escort. ”

That James introduced. This opening seems to have settled the mercenary group.

"Well said, well said. Lord Baron. However, how much do you plan to pay for this fee? Johnson frowned, rubbing his hands in his hands.

"Mr. Commander, I'm going to give you five gold coins. Just help me escort the goods to the gate of Shannan. Of course, I will arrange the accommodation along the way. James added.

James had known about the mercenary group before, and their previous mission was to escort a shipment to the town. The cost is only three gold coins. Now he gave out five gold coins. That should be fine.

"Ten gold coins, otherwise don't talk about it. Johnson was about to say yes, but he was just on the way anyway. Kruger suddenly interjected. What are you kidding, I just took a job for 10,000 gold coins, and now I'm very angry.

"Who is this gentleman?" said Baron James was not furious at Kruger's interjection. Instead, he pushed his glasses and asked seriously.

"This is our deputy head of mission, Mr. Kruger. He is a powerful water magician. Johnny the Minotaur hurriedly introduced.

"It's a magician! Ten gold coins are ten gold coins. However, I hope you will ensure that the cargo is safe. ”

James didn't expect that this small mercenary group would have a magician. And this magician is not young. As far as the profession of magician is concerned, the older you get, the more refined your magic must be. Even if it's a junior magician, it's an old junior magician!

Even if ten gold coins are used as a short-distance escort mission, it is quite a large sum. But the Shannan Passage between Jose and the Shannan Kingdom is a three-way area. If there is no one to escort them, there is a risk that the untouched mercenaries along the way will also turn into robbers. So he must also hire a mercenary group to escort him.

The deal is closed. Seeing off James, Johnson told everyone to rest for the night, and set off early tomorrow morning for their first stop, Tia City.

That night, Wren stayed at a hotel next to the tavern. After all, he was the object of the 10,000 gold coin mission escort, and Johnson arranged a private room for him, but he ran to squeeze a room with Kruger. Anyway, the old man is finally clean today. If he was like that, he wouldn't have the courage.

Wren lay down comfortably in his room. This town hostel is not bad, the room is big, the bed is more comfortable than my own S city. And it's a double bed made of all solid wood, so it's the only one lying on such a big bed.

Thinking about it, Wren finally fell asleep.

As soon as he fell asleep, he found himself in another dimension.

Wren was in the middle of a forest, and there was silence all around. I saw this soft light emanating from the front.

Wren walked towards the place of the light, and he didn't understand why he had gone so thoughtlessly. Maybe that light didn't make him feel the slightest sense of fear.

Wren slowly followed the light, and there was a lake in front of him. There is a large reef in the center of the lake. There was a man sitting cross-legged on the rock.

I saw that the man had long black hair, but he didn't take care of it. It was so naturally draped over that person's body. That soft light emanated from the man's body.

"You're here?" the man saw Wren watching him by the lake. He wasn't surprised.

Wren didn't know what to say, but the man was wearing the traditional costume of Shenzhou, a black coat. The wide sleeves were still fluttering in the wind.

"Wren, I am the God of Darkness. You wore my Dark Phoenix ring today, and you will be my voice in this world from now on. In other words, you are already my messenger on earth. ”

The dark god spoke so plainly. Wren thought to himself, what does this mean? I'm the Venerable Messenger of God?

"I know you have a lot to ask and a lot to say. But I can't tell you anything right now. You just need to know to do what I tell you to do. The dark god continued.

After a moment of silence, Wren spoke.

"Did you arrange for someone to send me to the Night Elf territory?" Wren asked, after thinking about it.

"No!" the man replied. "But you really should go there, too. Everything you want to know will be revealed there. ”

Wren didn't know what to say for a while.

"Based on your current abilities, I give you the primary skill of dark spells. The dark god said, not allowing Wren to ask more, and the soft light behind him split up and merged into Wren's forehead. Wren had a few basic dark spells in his head.

"You can now use all of the Dark Divine Spells of the Beginner Tier 3. The dark god continued.

"Lord Dark God, but I'm a paladin! How can I use dark spells?" Wren asked curiously, suddenly remembering his identity.

The Dark God ignored Wren, and then a burst of white light flashed. Wren woke up without warning.

Wren looked out the window, and it was still pitch black outside. I don't know what time it is, and I can't sleep anyway, so he simply sits up by himself.

He absolutely believed in the dream just now. Because at this moment, he really has a few dark spells in his head. He tried to summon a simple moonblade. I saw a palm-sized white moon blade hit the solid wood bed with a snort.

Wren lay on his stomach and looked, and a five-centimeter-deep knife mark was visible. It's terrible magic. It seems to be a little higher than his original light attack power. This is just a beginner-level divine art.

At the same time, Wren also learned a dark recovery technique and a super useful shadow stealth technique.

He didn't know how effective the Dark Recovery Technique would be, but Stealth was useful at any time.
