Shaking the three fourth-level absolute elemental defense magic scrolls in his hand, Lei Xiao's smile was still as calm as water.

The reason why he took out these three valuable objects was naturally to further motivate these three old magicians.

You know, according to Ariel, even at her coming-of-age ceremony, the old king personally gave her only five precious collections from the royal family. This shows their value.

At present, except for the magic scrolls previously given to the powerful masters.

Lei Xiao also has a hundred fourth-level absolute elemental defense barrier scrolls on his body. Taking out three of them will naturally not be a problem.

"Three masters, since you are already discerning about gold, then I don't need to go into details about how precious these three magic scrolls are, right?"

Looking at the three old magicians in front of him with longing expressions, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "This is our first cooperation, so these three scrolls should be regarded as what we have given to the three of them." Extra reward.”

"Your Excellency, guest minister, you...are you serious?!"

Hearing the sound, the three old magicians couldn't help but have expressions of surprise and joy on their aged faces. They quickly came together in front of Lei Xiao and said in unison.

The scrambling scene was like three children who were several hundred years old in total, fighting for candy.

Needless to say, these three precious magic scrolls combined are worth at least 3 million gold dragons, and this month's commission is only 1.8 million gold dragons!

It is no exaggeration to say that they have never seen such a generous employer since they were born!

It is worth mentioning that because Lei Xiao and Old Walter are far away from the other strong mercenaries of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group.

Therefore, when I saw three elderly magicians who were highly respected and usually unsmiling, they acted like children asking for candy in front of this young man.

Those three-level peak mercenaries who were equally strong couldn't help but start to look at each other in disbelief.

Such a scene has obviously never been seen or heard of by them!

All the subordinates present, including Ariel, showed a look of laughter.

As expected of the lord, it seems that the matter of hiring the powerful members of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group has been completed perfectly.

At the same time, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the outstanding effect of his money ability.

The reason why he wanted to motivate the three of them was for one purpose, and that was to further consolidate the loyalty of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group to prevent them from being bribed by the Holy Night Kingdom.

Although as Leng Yan's mercenary organization, the possibility of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group rebelling is very low, Lei Xiao naturally needs 100% peace of mind.

After all, for him, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Of course, Lei Xiao also understood clearly.

For these mercenaries who use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the money offensive is extremely effective.

As for the opponents who are on the opposite side of one's side, one has to take measures according to local conditions and different people. After all, as long as one kills oneself, all the wealth will naturally belong to the opponent.

Lei Xiao understands this better than anyone else.

Taking a deep breath, looking at the longing and urgency on the wrinkled old faces of the three old magicians in front of him, Lei Xiao responded: "Yes, for these three magic scrolls, I will keep the same commission as promised. , all are stored in the mercenary union in this city, and are reflected in our employment contract."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "As long as you successfully complete the task, all of these will naturally belong to you."

"I understand, Your Excellency, guest, when will we start signing the contract? We are already ready to go to our second hometown, the Mountain Castle Fortress!"

Old Walter was seen blowing his long gray beard, with an excited look on his face. The urgent expression that almost stuck to Lei Xiao's face was obviously worried that Lei Xiao would regret it.

Old Phil and Old Swale on the side also nodded quickly.

"As for the signing of the employment contract, Her Royal Highness the Princess has fully entrusted President Gale with the responsibility."

Looking at the other party's thick gray beard close at hand, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, and then said: "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao slightly raised the goblet in his hand and toasted the other party with a glass of wine.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate! It's a great honor for us to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the guest!"

On the other side, the three old magicians also quickly raised their respective wine glasses, looking excited, and began to drink heavily.

Next, at Lei Xiao's signal, the band and dancers re-entered the stage and started performing.

Moreover, the bard who had not appeared before made his debut.

Accompanied by the beautiful melody of the lute and the catchy hymn to the dragon-slaying hero, the entire banquet was pushed to its climax.

"This is a song of praise to commemorate the nine heroes who killed the dragon."

"On that day, people in the shadows saw the light of day again.

But under the dawn, there were the tall and straight figures of the five heroes. "

"The first hero is the infinitely powerful mage Ruiya.

Possessing vast knowledge and powerful magic. "

"The second hero is the half-elf Archery God Kido, whose arrows are flawless.

Possessing agile skills and elegant posture. "

"The third hero is the holy warrior Severi who protects his companions.

Possessing firm faith and a spirit of sacrifice. "

"The fourth hero is the double-edged assassination master Anronx.

Possessing secretive whereabouts and extreme explosions. "

"The fifth hero is Hugo, the berserker with Titan blood.

Possessing incomparable strength and endless courage. "

"The sixth hero is Idyar, the Saint under the Holy Light.

Possessing miracles of healing and the power to exorcise demons. "

"The seventh hero is Victor, the dark healer who escapes into darkness but has a bright heart.

Possessing the forbidden power of darkness and the strategy to eliminate darkness. "

"The eighth hero is Fleming, the summoning warlock with one man and ten thousand armies.

Possessing legion-sized puppets and superb control abilities. "

"The ninth hero is the master of alchemy Yoniel.

Possessing powerful magic potions and the miraculous power to refine all things. "

"Nine brave and fearless heroes.

Finally, he cut off the huge head of the sixth-level magical beast, the purple-winged dragon. "

Listening to this hymn, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

It is said that more than five hundred years ago, there was a sixth-order purple-winged demon dragon that was expelled from the tribe and harassed human nations for no reason, causing a lot of casualties.

In the end, nine fifth-level strong men were selected from the human race, the Temple of Light, the Mercenary Guild, the Alchemist Guild and other organizations, carrying the human race's strongest magic weapons, armors, various high-level magic scrolls and other items. , after going through a lot of hardships, he successfully killed the opponent.

Among them, the powerful person who controls the country sent by the Cold Flame Kingdom is none other than the half-elf Arrow God Qi Duo.

It is said that this person is the descendant of the half-elf archer group that ranked second in combat power under the King of Heroes.

This half-elf was the only non-human noble family in Lengyan back then.

However, several subsequent Lengyan monarchs were afraid that the rising half-elves would threaten their dominance, so they deliberately suppressed them, and eventually expelled them from the Lengyan realm, and disappeared without a trace.

Of course, since there are many branches of the half-elf clan, that half-elf clan has no connection with the Yuebai clan that surrendered to Lei Xiao.

"Five hundred years have been a long time for the human race. There are very few detailed records about these heroes, so just treat them as legends."

Looking at the middle-aged bard who was playing the lute and singing passionately on the stage in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Then I thought to myself: "However, if I am lucky enough to find the sleeping place of these heroes or related treasures, it will naturally be a big gain for me."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao sipped the wine in his cup and turned his attention to the old mercenaries in front of him again.

Next, after further discussions with several people, Lei Xiao finally confirmed it.

After the banquet, our group immediately signed an employment contract with the strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group and went to the mercenary guild in Fanyin City.

Of course, all Lei Xiao needs to do is deposit the corresponding golden dragon and magic scroll into the mercenary guild's tightly guarded vault, and that's it.

As for the specific formulation of the treaty, according to the plan, it was left to Kelly's father, Gale, a new fourth-level strongman under Lei Xiao's command, to take charge of it on his behalf.

According to Kelly, when her father was young, he spent several years as a free mercenary in the Lengyan Cities. There was no problem in doing this.

After the contract was signed, the accompanying Burt and Jubai led twelve strong men, including the three great magicians, directly to the mountain fortress.

The remaining two second-level elite mercenary squadrons also headed towards the mountain fortress at the fastest speed, traveling under the stars and at night.

In this way, this private banquet ended perfectly.

Lei Xiao and his party, who had re-dressed in illusion magic, together with the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group and other powerful men, came directly to the gate of the Fanyin City Mercenary Guild under the bright twin moons and the magical neon lights on the street. forward.

This is a large building with a simple appearance. It is not far from the Phytolacca Trade Fair and is located at the other end of this lively street.

Looking up, I saw that in the most conspicuous position of the ancient building, with bright magic paint, there was a shield whose main body was crossed with a long sword and a staff. That was the servant's coat of arms. The logo of the Military Association.

Since Kelly had already said hello in advance, the mercenary guild, which was supposed to be resting, was still brightly lit and was ready to receive them.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked into this simple building surrounded by his subordinates.

It is worth mentioning that the Mercenary Guild has the same nature as the Temple of Light. They are both neutral organizations distributed in all human countries. In addition to their own escorts, they are also protected by the countries and cities where they are located.

As for the difference, compared to the semi-closed Temple of Light with higher entry barriers, the Mercenary Guild is a completely open organization. As long as you meet the basic conditions, you can become a member of the mercenary.

In addition, once many neutral organizations, including the Mercenary Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Temple of Light, encounter unknown attacks, the host country must give a clear explanation.

Otherwise, these neutral organizations have the right to withdraw from the country.

Regardless of whether it is the absence of a complete mercenary system, an alchemist system, or a training ground for Holy Light priests, it is undoubtedly a huge loss that is unbearable for a human nation.

Therefore, whether in wartime or peacetime, these neutral organizations are almost never attacked or looted.

After all, as long as these places are touched, it is tantamount to going against a state machine. No matter how crazy the desperado is, they will rarely take the idea of ​​these neutral organizations.

Next, 1.8 million golden dragons and three magic scrolls were deposited into the treasury of the mercenary guild. Lei Xiao clapped his hands, and left with other subordinates after leaving Gale, Bert and Ju Bai behind. Mercenary Guild.

At this time, the streets of Fanyin City were still bustling with people.

The cool night air, mixed with the aroma of cumin from barbecued meat, kept pouring into Lei Xiao's nose.

Coupled with the laughter and laughter of all kinds of people around, it formed an extremely harmonious fireworks atmosphere.

"By the way, Kelly, how's crazy old Nick doing?"

Seeing this, Lei Xiao walked down the steps at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild and asked softly to the little pepper from Fanyin City beside him.

Needless to say, we can know it from what we have learned before.

This crazy old bard was the only survivor who came back alive during an adventure. He could only keep muttering the words "catastrophe" in his mouth.

This is undoubtedly Lei Xiao's only clue about the catastrophe at this stage.

"Sir, compared to before, Old Nick's condition has improved a lot, but he still looks crazy."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Kelly responded: "However, my subordinates believe that judging from the increased appetite, this is obviously a good start."

"Very good. If there are any new developments, please notify me in time."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao looked at the busy market in front of him and said, "Okay, let's return to the mountain fortress first. I still have some things to deal with."

What Lei Xiao was referring to was naturally the magic cannons he deployed.

Now that the employment matter has been successful, it is time to take back these deterrent forces.

In addition, Sean and other pterodactyl knight team were still resting near the mountain fortress and happened to return to the territory together.

"Wait, sir, I have another request..."

Just as Lei Xiao finished speaking, Ariel's clear and hesitant voice rang in his ears again.

"Oh? But it doesn't matter."

Looking at the fifth princess Leng Yan beside him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face, and then he spoke.
