Devil's Journey

Chapter 402
"Why, Mr. Ross, why do you look so sad?"

Julian held the scriptures between his arms, was wearing a black priest's robe, and a dark golden reverse cross hung around his neck. He had long snow-white hair draped over his shoulders, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He often smiled at the corners of his lips, looking elegant and easy-going.

"Ah? It's Mr. Julian." Captain Rost was taken aback for a moment, and then his face showed joy. He hurried forward and said to Julian eagerly: "Mr. It's really surprising, I can still thank you for your great kindness last time, I wonder if Mr. Julian has time now?"

"Oh, if it's not long."

Julian looked at Captain Rost for a while, and then realized in his heart that the other party must be asking for something again, but Julian didn't mind listening, after all, he is a good person now.

"That's great, it won't delay Mr. Julian for a long time"

"That's exactly it." Captain Rost said helplessly.

In the private room of a rather high-end hotel, Julian slowly sliced ​​the steak on the plate, and Rost, who was opposite him, looked at Julian with a worried expression.

"Bone-buried ruins? Soul-devouring blood crow?" Julian pondered thoughtfully for a moment, and then said to Captain Rost: "I'm personally interested, but I still need to go back and discuss it with my team members."

"Should be, should be." Captain Rost sighed, and continued: "Teresa has been stuck in the silver position before, this time she got a medicine formula that can purify blood, so she finally saw hope, and now Only one Blood Raven Heart is missing."

Teresa is Rost's daughter and Rost's pride. She detected her talent as a spellcaster at a very young age, and then entered the Witch Academy in the Sky Tower.

Later, I advanced to Silver before I was 16. Unfortunately, I am almost [-] now, but I am still stuck at the Silver level. Although mages do not rely entirely on blood like Warlocks, their requirements for aptitude are not low at all. If they reach the invisible upper limit After that, maybe I will be stuck there for the rest of my life.

Especially Tereza's mentor told her that if she can't break through to the golden rank before the age of 30, it may be difficult to make a breakthrough in this life, even if she breaks through with potions or other means in the future, it will be difficult to climb the legendary rank peak.

Trisha, who tried many methods but was unable to break through, recently obtained a potion formula from other witches. In theory, she could improve her aptitude by purifying the relatively high-level blood in her body.

After being identified by her mentor and confirmed to be true, Tereza has been desperately collecting materials, but unfortunately she still lacks a piece of Blood Raven Heart, which is not available from her mentor, but the witch who has this material has reported to her Unaffordable price.

So Tereza prepared to take the risk to go to the bone ruins to hunt for a soul-devouring blood crow, but even if the Dire Wolf Adventure Team hadn't been damaged before, going to the bone ruins would be an extremely risky behavior, let alone now.

Originally, Rost planned to invite another golden-rank mage. He had done that mage a big favor, and he could ask the other party to make a move at a lower price.

But after he came back, Rost learned that the mage had gone back on his word. The other party had raised the price significantly on the grounds that he had been promoted to the gold rank, and rejected Rost's idea of ​​paying in installments.

"That old bastard didn't want money at all. He just coveted my daughter's beauty. That old, ugly, greedy and despicable guy proposed to marry Tereza first." Speaking of this, Rost hated Tooth root itching.

After listening to the other party's complaints, Julian suddenly wanted to laugh, and then when Rost was filled with righteous indignation, he suddenly said: "That mage is really hateful, but, Mr. Rost, since you can't afford that mage, can you Can you please mention our Sword and Rose Adventure Team?"

Captain Rost immediately got stuck, and then he hesitated a bit. He couldn't afford a golden mage, so on the bright side of the Sword and Rose Adventure Team, there are four gold-rank fighters, three gold-ranked Among the casters of the highest level, Julian is still a golden leader, how could he be invited.

So he wants to vote in vain.

'It's ridiculous. Julian continued to eat the steak with a calm expression. Well, the craftsmanship of this restaurant is good.

Seeing that Julian couldn't be fooled, Rost didn't hesitate, and directly took out a box from the dimensional ring. After opening, it was full of magic gems.

However, Julian just glanced at it, not a single one was flawless. For an ordinary adventure team, it was already a huge sum of money, but for Julian.
"Not enough." Julian put down the knife and fork slowly, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and without waiting for dessert, he stood up and said to Rost: "If this is all your sincerity is, there is no need to say more."

Rost's face froze, and then he stood up abruptly and said, "Also... I still have a residence in the city and a manor outside the city, both of which can be given to you. In addition, there is also the entire Dire Wolf Adventure Team, which can also be given to you. as a reward."

The entire Dire Wolf Adventure Team mentioned by Rost was paid as a reward, not by selling themselves as slaves, but by turning the entire adventure team into Julian’s private soldiers, who only accepted Julian’s leadership and employment, and the players wanted to quit the team. They all need to pay a large amount of ransom money.

Julian raised his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head, and then slowly said in Rost's almost desperate eyes: "I don't want your Dire Wolf Adventure Team, nor do you want residential manors, I don't even want this box of gems, I only want."

Then Julian held up the reverse cross on his chest, and said sincerely: "I only want you to believe in our Lord wholeheartedly, and sincerely spread the Lord's salvation."

Rost was taken aback when he heard the words, and he couldn't believe it: "Is that all?"

"Of course, I am a devout believer. For the glory of our Lord and for the redemption of the world, I will regard money as dung and women as nothing." At this time, Julian's whole body glowed with a dazzling light, as if A true saint.

Rost, who had never believed in God, felt the power of faith for the first time. In the end, under the guidance of the idea that he didn't need money anyway, and believed in a little bit, Rost readily agreed.

The entire Dire Wolf adventure team, including more than ten main players, more than 20 people in the reserve team, and hundreds of relatives and vassals, all converted to the Church of Redemption under the leadership of Rost.

'It can be regarded as opening. It seems that there is no future for relying on the Sanren, and we have to recruit these pawns. Julian was slightly satisfied, and boarded the thief ship of his Redemption Church, but there was no way to go down.

However, there may not be many people who regret it. After all, a thief ship is a ship anyway, and it is better than drowning in a great flood. Julian couldn't help thinking that after the capture of the moon elf Laurana, the entire Sky City will be worth 10 people. People, I am afraid that most of them will be in his pocket.
