dark moon

Chapter 194 Expedition Team

"It seems that everyone is here, let's get started." Without a word of nonsense, after looking around the hall, the mountain elf mage got straight to the point.

The mountain elves look young, about 23 or 30 years old, but the age of the elves as a race is regarded as a joke by everyone, and no one takes it seriously. When a 200-year-old elf opens his mouth, he says: "How did I do it [-] years ago?" This fact is too common. It is the stupidest behavior to judge the age of an elf by his appearance.

Just like this mountain elf, despite her young age, her history of learning magic is likely to be longer than the combined ages of the two old mages next to her. No wonder the two old mages followed her respectfully. .

As soon as they got off the stairs, the mountain elf naturally sat at the table of the red-haired necromancer, while the two old mages felt very confident and went to the other table next to them.Surprisingly, the necromancer, who looked arrogant and looked at everyone with a condescending look in his eyes, had no objection at all to this. He just gave the mountain elf a sidelong glance, which was more of encouragement than a protest.

"I'm Mia, mountain elf Mia, from the Tower of Blue, and I'm the initiator of this mission." The language is concise, the strength is extraordinary, and the expression function is basically lost. This is Xiuer's first impression of Mia.

The Blue Tower is not a tower, but a loose spell research organization whose members are all mages. It mainly conducts research on destruction spells, so it is ridiculed as the Tower of Disaster by colleagues from other schools.

Each of the core members of the Blue Tower is a powerful mage, with at least gold level strength. The most powerful one is the chairman of the Blue Tower. It is said that he is a reclusive human demigod who has exceeded the life limit. From 200 He has been in charge of the Blue Tower since many years ago.

There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates in the tower, and there is no mandatory binding force. These mages will gather once or twice a year to share part of their research results in exchange for points, which can be exchanged for services within the meeting and undisclosed research results of others.

Joining the Tower of Blue can be said to be the best choice for every elemental mage. After all, the effect of one person's research can never be compared to the research of multiple people.

"The personnel requirements have been stated in the mission briefing given to the Mercenary Association. I didn't want to say more, but in order to avoid any surprises, I will reiterate it again."

"I need to hire eight to ten gold-ranked mercenaries. Adventure experience is not important, but they must have rich experience in guarding. Whoever has a problem can quit now, which is not a breach of contract."

I have no experience. That’s great. Can I go back?Safu looked at Shuer eagerly, but found that Shuer raised his hand with a smile.

"You are the priest who joined temporarily and has exclusive healing magic." Professional healers are hot commodities in any team. After all, no one will disdain their own longevity, even if they are like The rock-cold mountain elf's attitude became much gentler, "Excuse me, which god do you serve?"

"Under the night, I hope that the light beyond your vision will always be by your side, pursuer of mysterious power." Many mages are just believers in multiple gods. They believe more in the power of magic. Mia is one of them, Shuer She didn’t feel the protection of any god in her body, so she called her like this, “I am the servant of the Lightless Moon, the battle priest of the Dark Moon Temple, Shuel Wright. I bless you in the name of the Dark Moon. Wait, holy.”

"Dark Moon?" Mia searched for it several times in her theological knowledge before remembering the name. She remembered that it was a small church that was good at protection, purification and healing, and it fully met the requirements.

"Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty the Priest." He is a rare all-rounder who can fight and heal. This makes Shuer's weight in Mia's heart even heavier. "I wonder if you have any questions?"

"Excuse me, the security experience you just mentioned, is it specifically a camp security or a transportation security?"

Amateurs often confuse camp guards and transport guards, but real veterans know that there are strict differences between the two in terms of their focus and the way they deal with problems. Therefore, Mia felt relieved as soon as Shuuer's question came out. Quite a few.

Since Shuuer and Saff joined temporarily, they were only registered in the mercenary guild of the Pantheon. Unlike the others, the local guild had detailed information on the completion rate of past tasks. Therefore, Mia had been worried about whether this healer could She has mission experience, and now she is relieved. The person who can ask this sentence is definitely an experienced veteran. It seems that there is no problem with the addition of this healer.

"This mission is quite special, and it is difficult to divide the types of guards. I will introduce the specific content later. However, it seems that you have enough experience and should be qualified for this commission."

"That's good." After two years of reading books in libraries and temples, Shuer has just recently done two small missions with ordinary mercenaries in the Rose City to understand the basic situation of the Parvatiga mercenary industry. , of course it is impossible to have mercenary experience.

But he didn't lie. In his home world, in order to protect the safety of his sister, he personally led the family's elite soldiers and performed countless escort and guard missions. He had more experience than anyone else.Although there are certain differences between the two worlds, most of the experiences are common, so Shuer is not worried at all that he is not qualified for his job. The key to the problem now is Sapphire.

"There's another problem. This lady Saff is my guardian, but she doesn't have much experience."

You are lying again, when did I become your guardian?Saff wanted to refute like this, but unfortunately, being stared at by the people around her, she had to work very hard to control her urge to hide, and she had no time to refute.

"If you are a guardian, there is no problem in joining the team." Many high-level priests who are active outside have melee professions such as warrior knights as guardians. Although it is a bit strange for a battle priest to have a guardian. But it's not unacceptable, so Mia didn't doubt it, "However, whether it can be counted as an employee depends on the actual situation." It's more euphemistic, but the meaning is very clear. It's okay for her to follow, but it doesn't count. Not counting the reward, it also depends on whether she is qualified for the job.

"Thank you, then I'll have no problem." Shuer smiled and winked secretly at Saif, "Don't think too much, just follow me honestly."

"Is everyone else alright?" Not paying attention to Saff who was sulking, Mia waited for a few seconds to make sure no one asked questions before continuing, "Okay, let's talk about the content of this mission."

"The mission location is in the western wilderness, a wilderness."

The Savage Land is the collective name for the vast world beyond the control of intelligent creatures, and few intelligent creatures have set foot there.It is a paradise for monsters, and it can be said to be full of dangers. No wonder Mia summoned so many gold-level warriors to join her at once.

"The mission goal is to protect a 30-person professional team and excavate a relic of the pioneering era."

The pioneering era was the first golden age of Parvatiga. Pioneers of all races advanced into the wilderness and built a large number of cities.Some cities successfully survived and became the territory of intelligent creatures today, but most cities were annihilated deep in the wilderness and became ancient ruins buried under the ground.

Some ruins are of great value for excavation, but most ruins are nothing special. Therefore, excavation of ruins has become a dangerous gamble. Whether you can get rich overnight depends on luck, or whether there are definite clues. .

But these have nothing to do with the hired mercenaries. Everyone is concerned about another thing.

"Eight people are protecting more than 30 people from excavating ruins?" The human thief's voice was as harsh as the sound of metal friction. "Are you kidding? Even if they are all gold-level, it's impossible."

"First, I have also hired a team of 50 ordinary mercenaries, hired locally in the western wilderness. We will then go over to join them before entering the excavation site. It is impossible to rely entirely on your high-level mercenaries to protect workers and professionals. Personnel." Expressionless Mia's voice was as cold as ever, "Second, it's not eight, it's nine. There is also a high-level mercenary who will meet us directly in the west."

"Huh? Why can he be special?" The scimitar warrior in the west was dissatisfied and questioned in common language with a strong accent, "I traveled more than 800 kilometers to get here, why shouldn't he? Assemble here.”

"Because I know him, the mission I assigned him in person did not go through the mercenary guild. Are you dissatisfied?"

Of course not, gold coins are the biggest, and the employer is always right. Anyone who dares to say that the employer is wrong will be beaten to death with gold coins. This is the world of mercenaries.

"Here are the specific arrangements. We will give everyone a few hours to prepare. We will set off on time at [-] noon. The Tower of Blue will be responsible for providing crystals and teleporting everyone to Gravel City in the western wilderness to join the large army."

"The task is expected to be completed in one month. The reward is two hundred gold coins per person, plus a magical scroll of Rain of Fire. If the estimated time is exceeded, additional rewards will be paid in proportion."

"After the mission is completed, the Blue Tower will also be responsible for sending everyone back to the temples." Mia suddenly glanced at the strong scimitar warrior, paused and said, "You can also choose to leave on your own, and we will pay ten gold coins for travel. As a compensation."

"Last chance, join or withdraw. If you withdraw later, Qingzhi Tower reserves the right to pursue liquidated damages from those who withdraw."

No one has chosen to quit now, and of course Shuuer will not. He only has one thought in his mind, wow, two hundred gold coins, 20.00% more than the normal price, the Blue Tower is really rich.

"There is another question." Suddenly remembering the most important thing, Shuer suddenly raised his hand and said, "Can the magic scroll be redeemed?"

Everyone looked at him with strange eyes, but unfortunately, he had no consciousness of being the center of attention.

"Okay, cost price."

The price difference of ten times is really a desperate answer.
