Broad World

As the saying goes, the busier you are, the faster time passes. As the initiator of this magical battle, Henry hardly touched the ground. While arranging for the three airships that had just arrived to land in an open space not far from the city to rest, he contacted the Masked Mage Guild and the Knights. He didn't even notice the small conflict between his two capable men, Debra and Robert, and the excited eyes of his animal companion Ares.

But it's all worth it. After several twists and turns, the two organizations finally finalized the departure time. Now that everything is ready, it depends on how many elite adventurers Libod can bring.

The adventurer's market owner didn't make Henry wait too long, and brought thirty fully armed professionals to the Eratan mansion around four o'clock in the afternoon the next day. Among them are fighters, mages, warlocks, thieves, bards, priests, etc., which can be said to be of all kinds, and the races are also quite diverse. There is even a petite semi-demon thief with brown skin.

"Aha, I'm so glad to meet you my friend. These are the elites selected according to your request. I brought them all as agreed. Some of them have some doubts about this mission, so I plan to come to consult in person Let's go." Libode handed over a detailed document.

Henry took it over without any hesitation and quickly flipped through it. After a few minutes, he raised his head and asked, "Didn't you say there were forty people yesterday? Why is it one-fifth less?"

Libode spread his hands helplessly: "No way, the time you gave is too tight, I can only contact so many people now. And these people may not all accept employment, they still have a lot of questions. You should know, senior Adventurers are very cautious when accepting quests."

"Well, it's because these people are elite." Henry also understood that the time of day and night is indeed a bit short, not to mention that these people should already be the most famous adventure teams near Askatla. Many of them have accepted the dangerous tasks issued by the council.

He threw the information in his hand on the table, and then calmly said to everyone: "I believe you should know the content of this mission. Now if you have any questions, you can ask, and I will try to answer truthfully. But the ugly words are ahead , if anyone is thinking of fishing, then don't blame me for being rude."

Obviously, as a legendary mage and nobleman officially recognized by Amn, Henry's threat was quite effective. After all, all these people present had to make a living on this land. Once they offended the real powerful faction, the end would definitely be very miserable. Or choose to go away and die alone. Either give up the identity of an adventurer and become an ordinary person incognito.

For a moment, the living room fell into silence, and even a needle could be heard.

Not long after, a tall warrior squeezed into the front row and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Dragon Rider, we all know how powerful you are, so I believe that no one will dare to think badly. Please don't worry about this. Although Libod said The details of the clearance task, but I have a question now, who is the enemy to deal with this time? I believe this is also a question that everyone cares about. After all, we are just a group of adventurers who want to make money to support their families. Sorry for the trouble."

"It's a very legitimate reason. I can't think of any reason not to answer. The enemy this time is called Joan Irenicus, which means the exiled person. He also has an elf named Jonares. It is a A very powerful legendary mage. This person is trying to capture the elf capital located in the Verdas Forest, and intends to kill all the residents in it to vent his anger." Henry did not hide anything, and directly told the truth.

When everyone heard the four words "Legendary Mage", most of them showed fear on their faces, and some people had solemn eyes, and they lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

There is no doubt that these four words are really scary. As well-informed adventurers, they are certainly not the same as ordinary people. Believe that magic is the root of disaster. On the contrary, almost everyone longs for this kind of powerful power, and the legendary mage is just the group of people standing at the top of this kind of power. It is said that just hooking your fingers can take a person's life.

Looking at the crowd that fell silent again, Henry shook his head in disappointment. From his point of view, these people have been intimidated by Joan Irenicas's spellcasting level, and it is estimated that they are unlikely to accept this dangerous task, and they are also very afraid of bloody revenge if they fail to do so.

The silence continued. When even the intermediary Libod was beginning to be disappointed, the soldier who spoke just now mustered up the courage to continue asking: "Your Excellency, the danger level of this mission has exceeded the warning line, and you may die at any time. I want to know , in addition to the daily fixed commission. What else can we get?"

Hearing this question, Henry’s eyes suddenly lit up. He smiled and replied: "The spoils of war, including magic items, as long as they are obtained from the enemies you killed or picked up from the corpses, all belong to the individual and the team. As for how you distribute them, I will not interfere. Other than that In addition, anyone who has performed well in the task can come to work for me if they want, and I can give you a good job. Of course, I can also give a chance to go to the Mage Tower for further training to those mages and warlocks .”

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward. According to the current high salary, normally all spoils of war should belong to the employer. However, in order to rekindle the wits of these fearful mercenaries and adventurers, he did not hesitate to give up part of the benefits. Anyway, the wood elves will pay a large amount of rewards in the end, and this loss is nothing at all.

"You... are you serious?!! We can pick up spoils at will?" The soldier was surprised and even used honorifics. He knew very well how valuable the things of the elves were, especially the light and strong magic chain mail, which was in short supply. It was loved by mages, nobles and businessmen, because it could be worn inside the coat, and it could be easily worn. Protect your own life well.

"Excuse me, what level is your mage tower scroll open to? Can you buy it as long as you enter the mage tower?" A middle-aged man in a purple robe couldn't help but also stood up and asked.

"First of all, there are two points to be aware of regarding loot. First, it is not allowed to break into houses where elves still live, and it is not allowed to directly take any items from elves. Second, be careful when searching for corpses, and never Any act of profanity. Badges, amulets, bracelets, rings and other personal items with family crests cannot be moved. As long as the two points are observed, there will be no problem. In addition, my mage tower is open to magic below level 7 for internal members , but you must sign a service agreement before you can buy it." Henry answered the questions of the two people very patiently.

As a king with a lot of resources, he has been sparing no effort to recruit all kinds of talents. As long as the other party shows his value, then he doesn't mind giving these people a chance. After all, most spells above level five are completely monopolized by major organizations, and rarely appear on the market, let alone extremely powerful spells of level six or seven.

Especially the seventh-level magic "Limited Wish". It is called the beginning of changing destiny. Because this spell can simulate almost all low-level magic and divine spells, and it can also fulfill many wishes of the caster. Of course, the premise is not to exceed the bottom line of greed, otherwise the consequences will be beyond imagination.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the man in the purple robe shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency, I, Ansair, am willing to accept this mission. I don't even need to be paid, as long as I can go to the Mage Tower for further training afterwards."

"My team and I are also willing to accept the task." The soldier also stood up and expressed his willingness. Following him, four people also took a step forward, expressing their agreement with the team leader's decision.

"Damn it! This is simply the temptation of the devil! For the happiness of the rest of my life, I will fight!"

"I'll join too!"

"Count me in."

...

All of a sudden, all the adventurers present became excited. After a while, most of them made their choices, and the rest were hesitating, wondering if they should gamble once.

See this happening. The corners of Henry's mouth were slightly upturned, and he used his final trump card: "I guarantee in the name of the King of West Hartland that all those who survive will be given a title of nobility, and they can go anywhere north of Bariskell Bridge. No matter how much land is reclaimed within a year, I will admit that it is your legal territory."

As soon as the voice fell, the whole hall boiled instantly.

What is the adventure for?

Some may say it's for excitement, others say it's for wealth, fame and social status. Others are to hone their will and strength.

Of course, there are very few people who pursue excitement after all, and there are not many people who hone their will and their own strength. More than 95% of adventurers are actually doing it for wealth, fame and social status, because these things are what most people pursue in their lives.

Now Henry has brought out everything, such as generous rewards, freedom to pick up loot, noble titles, and territories that can be passed on to future generations. It can be said that everything needs to be fought with his own life. He very cleverly designated the fief to the north of Bariskell Bridge, where now except for the orc city under construction, it is basically a wild area. It happens that the power of these people can be used for development.

But these people present didn't know about the order, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care too much. What they care about is the noble title and social status. As for the farmland, they only need to hire a group of people to plant it first, as long as there are not many monsters around. There will always be someone willing to come and settle, and it will develop after a few years.

In this frenzied atmosphere. No one could keep calm. Thirty-three people all chose to accept the task, and none of them chose to leave.

Half an hour later, all the known adventurers signed their names on the contract, and Henry paid a large deposit, and then he took everyone straight to the camp outside the city and gave the order to board the boat .

The coalition army that was about to go to the battlefield finally entered the hanging warehouse one after another at nightfall, slowly began to lift off, and flew towards the wood elf camp in the south. They don't have much time to waste. When they arrive at the destination, it is estimated that Joan Irenicus has just captured the city, and it is an excellent time to launch a surprise attack...
