Goddess Wanhua Mirror

So the two sides cooperated, and Hume, the god of robbers, escorted Perseus to the gate of the forbidden place in the center of the earth, and then he tried to enter.As a result, the barrier that even the gods could not enter, Puxius entered after a stroll, and successfully obtained a small flame inside, bringing it to the surface.

Lu De basically knew everything that happened afterwards, and the flame brought back by the old man was the original fire.Hume once tried to touch it, but found that this thing, like the barrier of the Forbidden Land, is something that the gods cannot touch.

Using the fire of the source, Perseus created an evil god that he thought was super sensual, and finally fulfilled his long-cherished dream and revealed the mystery of the existence of gods.As a reward for his assistance, Perseus promised Hume that he would use this power to help her revive the decaying God Thief Sect.

It's a pity that the old astrologer is still waiting to fulfill his promise, and he is gone!

Hume also regretted the death of Purseus. After all, there are very few mortals in this world who are as talented as him and treat him as a god.Even if the vast number of sentient beings are not believers, at least they recognize the supremacy of the "God" cognitively, unlike Perseus, who always holds a skeptical and scrutinizing view.

However, surprises always come so unexpectedly and unexpectedly, because of some other things, Hume came to Unos to do some things, and unexpectedly perceived the artifact he made.And following his feeling, he found Lu De, and recognized that the silly little nun next to him was not a mortal.

Hume, the god of robbers, immediately understood that although Perseus was dead, his humble apprentice was still alive and inherited his legacy.So God of Thieves has been following and observing Lude's actions in the city during the day, and finally decided to meet him.

Hume approached Lude in the hope that he could continue the cooperation agreement with Purseus.The original fire is not easy to obtain, and it is also difficult to find mortals in this world who can use the original fire.And judging by Lude's appearance, it seems that he is more reliable than Purseus, who is too weird, so Hume can't give up.

End of this chapter

Facing the olive branch from Hume, the god of thieves, Lude somewhat hesitated, because after hearing what the other party said, Hume had a cooperation agreement with the old astrologer Perseus, and she helped Perseus get the original fire. Unravel the mysteries of the gods, then harness the power of the Primal Fire to revive the cult of the Thieves.

It sounds like a fair deal, but the problem is that Lude now has the God of Medicine Sect established by himself. Although there is only one Pine Tree Village in the diocese, it is an upright and positive sect. Even if it is not well-known at present, at least it can be upright Speaking out, it was impossible for him to just throw Aina away, and then run to work for Hume.

Although Hume, the God of Thieves, is an old-fashioned god, the number of congregants under his command will definitely not be small, but just like the "XX Great ○ Sword" by a certain well-known author, no matter how outstanding his grades are, it is difficult to be calm during the holidays Introduce to relatives and friends, the truth is the same!

So after hesitating for a moment, Lude said cautiously.

"To be frank and honest, it's hard for me to agree to your conditions now. I can't leave this silly girl alone, and you and I lack mutual understanding. Even if I join your sect now, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. "

"That is to say, you are going to reject me?"

"No, I just need some time, and I need to further verify some of my previous speculations and conjectures. The shortest time is a few months, and the longest time is three to five years. I think this time should not be considered for the immortal gods. Is it too long?"

Lude looked at Hume, staring straight at him without any dodge. Hume was silent for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally dull face.

"You are the same kind of person as your mentor, but not the same."

"I'm a vulgar person, and the taste of the instructor is too heavy for me."

"Okay then! Anyway, I've been waiting for more than 300 years, and it's really not bad to wait another two or three years. It just so happens that I still have some urgent matters to deal with. If you really voted for me just now, Instead, I won't be able to accommodate you for a while."

Seeing that Hume was so reasonable, Lude's face remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.He was really nervous just now, for fear that this man would be furious because Lu De, a mortal, dared to refuse the invitation of the gods. If there was a conflict between the two sides, Lu De and Aina would undoubtedly lose.

Ever since, Lude and Hume, who had completed the peaceful negotiation, left contact information with each other. Lude told the other party that he is currently developing a sect in Pine Tree Village. There is nothing to hide. Hume has now discovered Lude. By following in the dark or contacting the fellow villagers, one can easily learn that Songshu Village is currently the territory of the God of Medicine Sect. If you speak out now, you will be able to leave a frank and good impression on the other party.

And Hume still has some things to deal with in Unos, but the specifics have not been disclosed to Lude for the time being, and Lude has not taken the initiative to inquire.

"When I have time in a few days, I will go to that village to look for you. It happens that an old friend of your mentor is looking for you. I will send her there. If you need my help in the past few days in the city If so, I will plant three wild flowers on the window of the hotel where I am staying. I have always been very generous to my friends!"

After Hume finished speaking, he put on his hood and got up to leave the tavern. It was only then that Lude could tell from the reactions of the waiters and other guests around him that no one else was aware of Hume's existence except him and Aina. It seemed that in their field of vision, when this woman entered and exited the gate, it was just a gust of wind blowing in from outside.

"It's a god of robbers, who can stop eating the overlord's meal!"

During one dinner, he got to know a god, and Lude discovered that this world is always magical in some unexpected places.

After drinking and eating, Lude took Aina back to the hotel, and Ron and others who came with him also came back, but everyone had good or bad expressions, as if they had different experiences.

Several villagers in charge of selling goods were talking and laughing. The two carts they brought were selling well in the town. More than half of them were sold in just half a day. It is estimated that they will be able to clear the warehouse directly tomorrow.Ron, on the other hand, was a little worried. Seeing Lude and Aina coming back, he hurriedly told about the situation he encountered between the mercenary agency and the adventurer today, hoping that Lude could help him find a solution.

"Most of the mercenaries and adventurers in this city have gone out of the city, saying that they are going to catch a gangster. The agency accepted our commission, but they have to take 24% of the agency fee, and finally put it on the task board. There are only [-] silver coins left, and none of the mercenaries seem to be interested."

"What about the Adventurer's House? Didn't they say that they can also hire people?"

"The level over there is too low. I went around and found that I couldn't fight one by one. My father said that if you can recruit people from the mercenary agency, try not to go to the adventurer." Home, there are all leftovers!"

Ron's evaluation of the Adventurer's House is not demeaning, but an undoubted truth.The so-called adventurers are actually a group of people who are not suitable to be mercenaries, but yearn for this kind of life in the world.

The mercenary agency has official support behind it. If you want to become a mercenary, you need to pass a series of registration assessments and have a certain strength before you can work.The country regards these mercenaries as reserves. In the event of a war, the intermediary can quickly gather a group of available soldiers for the king or lord through the registration list.

The Adventurer's House, on the other hand, is a non-governmental organization imitating a mercenary agency, and is not a unified nationwide organization, so there are great differences between regions.Adventurers come from various backgrounds, including bad mercenaries who were dismissed by the intermediary because of too many violation records, and those stunned youths who have heard too many adventure stories from bards. If they cannot become mercenaries, they can only retire. And the next best thing is to be an adventurer.

Regarding the home of adventurers established by themselves in various places, the official attitude of the Kingdom will not ban or support them, and let them develop freely.

Because of the existence of adventurers, it is indeed possible to make up for the lack of regular mercenaries in some low-end entrusted tasks that are not difficult, such as looking for cats and dogs to find lost children, or cleaning up some foul-smelling sewers. Low-level dangerous creatures, such low-grade jobs are paid little, and mercenaries look down on them, so it is appropriate to hand them over to adventurers.

If possible, Ron still hopes to hire regular mercenaries. They need to be of a certain level to train the militiamen in the village better.But Lu De pondered for a while, but he vaguely felt that the mercenary's refusal to accept his task might not be due to too little money.

Because mercenaries are not soldiers, they have no responsibility to protect the country and the people. The more chaotic the place is, the easier it is for them to do business.If the villagers were trained to fight like mercenaries, would they still be able to do business?

End of this chapter

Judging from the current situation, no one will accept the commission from the mercenary agency for a while, and the Adventurer's House... Although Ron has also placed an order there, he is very worried about attracting some useless people. Well, thirty silver coins is not a small number for the villagers.

After understanding the situation, Lu De thought that if this was the case, they would have to stay in Unos for a while longer.

At this moment, Ron looked at Lude a little shyly, looking like a little daughter-in-law who hesitated to speak. With his huge bear-like body, there was really an indescribable disgust.

"You... is there anything else you want from me?"

"My lord, I really want to ask you for a favor. We plan to go to the mercenary agency tomorrow. Can you go with us?"

What Ron meant was that he hoped to use Lude's status as a priest to support them.When he went to the mercenary agency during the day, he could clearly feel that the agency's attitude towards them, no matter the doorman or the receptionist, was definitely not friendly, and even slightly contemptuous.

So Ron felt that if it was Lude who went, the other party would never be so negligent.

Lude naturally understood what Ron meant. It just so happened that the main supplies he wanted to purchase here had already been arranged, and it would be no problem to accompany Ron and the others to the mercenary agency tomorrow.

So everyone rested at the hotel for the night. The next morning, Ron led the way, and Lude and Aina accompanied him to the mercenary agency located in the center of the city.

When the three of them came to the gate, Lu De looked up. The agency was a three-storey brick building. A pavement in front of the gate was paved with floor tiles. There were stone steps, marble columns, and guards standing guard. It was obviously bigger than other surrounding buildings. They must be magnificent, second only to the few temples he saw from afar yesterday in terms of luxury.

The two guards in front of the door first saw Ron who came yesterday, and they just glanced at them and wanted to ignore them, but then they noticed Lude and Aina, neither of them was wearing a cloak today, and they directly exposed the priest's robe and the nun When the two brothers saw each other going up the steps, they reflexively opened the door for him without even thinking about it, and it took a while before they recovered.

Why did that priest seem to be with yesterday's mud leg?

In this way, the three of them entered the lobby of the agency.Although Lude is wearing a priest robe made of extremely cheap burlap, and it is quite old, but his temperament has always been mastered. His snow-white beard and hair walk without wind, and he looks like a world-class expert. aura.

The reception ladies at the front desk are all sophisticated people. They see a lot of people on weekdays, so they naturally know how to judge people by their temperament, not just by their clothes.Therefore, their first impression of Lude was "absolutely unusual", and Ron, who was timid next to him, even if he was wearing a yellow robe now, everyone would only think that he was crowned by a monkey.

"My lord, is there anything I can do for you?"

The middle-aged lady who took the initiative to greet her was the foreman of the reception. She spoke and behaved respectfully without losing her demeanor, just like a senior housekeeper.

Lude smiled, pointed to Ron next to him and said.

"I have nothing important to do. I just went to the city today to meet some old friends, but I ran into this kid. If I have nothing to do, I just follow him around. You don't have to pay attention to me. You should be busy with your business."

Lu De seemed to be casual, with a calm face like an old man who went out for a morning exercise, but when he heard the words in the ears of the head lady, some important information between the lines was automatically "filtered" in an instant.

Lu De didn't say which sect he was a clergyman, but he showed the calmness and confidence of a superior in every gesture.In this case, instead of lowering his status, his old linen robes added a hint of low-key mystery to him.

So when Lude said that he came to the city to meet old friends, the lady foreman almost subconsciously linked "these old friends" with the stewards of the big sects in the city, and even gave Ron a high look.Although this silly big man looks like an honest farmer at first glance, but since he can be affectionately called "boy" by the adults next to him, then he may be some great elder in the family.

In short, Lu De made good use of the common faults of human beings to induce the other party to brainstorm in the direction he expected.They don't need to believe it, as long as they are half-skeptical, a cautious attitude will make them pay more attention to Ron's seemingly inconspicuous commission.

Ever since, Rhodes pretended to be a force, and the agency obviously paid a lot of attention to Ron's entrustment.However, since Unos has indeed been short of manpower recently, the agency can only promise that it will try its best to contact them with suitable mercenaries within a week, and then let the other party go directly to Pine Tree Village, so that Ron will not suffer any more in the city. Wait for the result.

In this way, the three of them left the agency satisfied, and Ron said in his heart that he deserved to be the blood-handed soul-destroyer, but there was a lot of respect!

Seeing that it was still early, Lu De simply walked around the city first, to see if he couldn't find anything he wanted to buy.But as the group of people walked, they suddenly noticed that many pedestrians were running forward at a fast pace, and the expressions of each and every one of them revealed the excitement of watching lively.

"Master, what are they doing?"

"I don't know, just go and have a look."

Walking forward with the pedestrians, the three of them soon came to a notice board at the intersection.Relying on his stature and brute strength, Ron opened the way ahead to squeeze out a space for Lude and Aina, and Lude, as the only literate among the three, was responsible for reading the contents of the notice board to them. listen.

"The evil robber has been arrested, and he will be publicly executed in two days?"

There was not much content on the notice, it roughly said that the city lord's mansion caught a thief last night and would execute him at noon two days later.But from the residents of the nearby town, Lude heard something interesting.

A grand thief nicknamed "Fallen Leaf" who specializes in robbing the rich and giving to the poor!

"Emmm... that's a bit interesting."

After reading the bulletin board, a few people walked around the town again, and returned to the hotel before dark.But when Lude and Aina returned to the room, they unexpectedly saw an "acquaintance" sitting by the window, waving at them with a smile on his face.

"Miss Hume, what brings you here?"

End of this chapter

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that Hume came uninvited. Lude was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he should not have put flowers on the window sill before going out today. At this time, Hume pointed to the two extra bottles of wine on the table and said with a smile.

"I have nothing to do in the evening, so I came to find you two drinks."

"Drink two glasses? Is it that simple?"

Looking at the two bottles of wine on the table, which seemed to be valuable at first sight and most likely to be stolen goods, and the incomparably bright smile on Hume's face, Lude faintly sensed something was wrong!

As the saying goes, be diligent in doing nothing, and be a traitor or a thief!

Lu De didn't believe anything, it was as simple as drinking a drink.

After closing the door casually, Lu De saw that there was no outsider in the room, so he simply took off the mask on his face, revealing his true colors.When Hume saw Lu De's true face, he whistled a bit frivolously.

"The young man is obviously very handsome, why does he have to disguise himself as an old man with a white beard?"

"There is no hair on my mouth, and I can't do things well! I dressed up as an old man for the convenience of preaching. This image is most in line with the high-level people in the public's mind."

"By the way, you're really not that old, right? I remember Perseus mentioned you, you should be only sixteen or seventeen this year, and you're old-fashioned."

"I'm eighteen years old this year, but that's just my physical age. As for my mental age, after going through all those messy things, I don't even know how old I should be with my current mentality."

Half-truthfully complaining about himself, Lude didn't want to reveal his identity as a time traveler, but he could see that Hume had actually realized that his mental age was much higher than his physical age, so he simply used the term "experience" For ambiguous statements, prevaricate them first.

Hume thought that the experience Lude mentioned referred to his exile trip in the past year or so. He thought that he, a young boy who had just grown up, fled from the center of the kingdom to the border all the way, and he had to hide his identity and create a new world from scratch. For a new sect, these experiences are indeed quite magnificent.

"Then we might as well offer a toast to the precious growth."

As Hume said, he conjured up three precious wine glasses, opened a bottle of wine, and filled them up.Seeing that Hume had prepared her share, Aina on the side reached out to take it with great interest, but was stopped by Lude with quick eyes and hands.

"It's too early for you to drink this."

"I'm not young anymore!"

"I found that you two look more and more like father and daughter!"

Looking at the "family affection" interaction between Luther and Aina, Hume smiled with great interest.She still remembered that when Perseus succeeded in creating gods, the old boy was as excited as a monkey who stole a peach, but when he faced the gods he created, he regarded them more as toys that he longed for , a coveted research material.

Now that I think about it, thanks to the fact that the Sun Knight who received the report checked the water meter the day after Perseus successfully created the god, the old pervert didn't have the chance to do something bad to the new god.

Although the vigilance in his heart did not let go, Lude did not refuse the wine that Hume offered him.He raised the cup and took a small sip, and found that the taste was beyond imagination. Even he, who doesn't like drinking very much, could feel "amazing" at the first sip.

"Not bad! Where did you get this wine?"

"The tribute of believers."

Hume showed a "you understand" expression to Lude. Lude, who had been a policeman for eight years in his previous life, suddenly felt a little subtle. He was a dignified people's policeman, but after time travel, he also degenerated into having a drink with a thief leader.

"Sin, sin..."

"You don't have to be so guilty. The original owner of these two bottles of wine is not a good bird. If you drink the wine he lost, it is equivalent to venting your anger for the people!"

"I... can't accept your nonsense."

Looking at the fragrant wine in the glass, Lu De put down the glass. It's not that he really has a mental cleanliness and can't accept stolen goods, but he is worried that he drank too much wine and got Hume's ecstasy.

So after hesitating for a moment, Lude went straight in.

"Miss Hume, I guess you didn't just come to drink and chat with me today? If you want anything, just say it!"

Seeing that Lude made the point straight, Hume, who wanted to get the atmosphere in place by drinking first before getting down to business, put down his glass, showing an awkward but decent smile on his face.

"Actually... I... really have such a trivial matter, I want you to help me?"

"No, wait a minute! You want my help?"

Using his fingers to draw a gesture between himself and Hume, Lu De repeatedly confirmed that the relationship between who helped whom was not mistaken, and a very surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.Especially at this time last night, the eldest sister in front of me had just uttered the bold words of "I'm covering you", which made it extremely embarrassing now.

"I said big sister, are you right? Although I do have a little ability that can be regarded as a golden finger, but it is only an auxiliary skill! You are sure that I can help you with things that you, an old god who has been around for hundreds of years, can't handle. you?"

"You get excited first, listen to me! Actually...it's not that difficult."

"Then tell me the details!"

"That's it... that is, one of my men was arrested by the city lord here. I was thinking about saving her and asking you to help me rob... Hey! Come back first and don't leave!"

Seeing that Lude got up and was about to run, Hume went up and pushed him back to the seat.Lu De found that the opponent's hands were so strong that they looked like monsters, and his delicate body couldn't resist the opponent's misconduct at all!
