Chapter 14 From afar (14)

The rescued slaves were sent to Grantham in batches with the assistance of the subsequent arrival of the Griffons of the Revenge Army, and a small number of them in poor health were temporarily placed in various hotels, taverns, and kind-hearted residents' homes in the city.

As the highest-ranking person present, and as a nobleman, Neham became the best candidate to temporarily take over Nax City. Just as he was busy suppressing the defenders in the city and appeaseing the residents, Link was in the Adventurers Union set up in the city, using magic communications inside the union to talk to Bridge, the president of Waoulet.

"Little Nucks escaped?" Bridge was shrewd. Even if he saw through Link's intentions, he would not point it out.

With Link's ability, coupled with the future Knight Captain who is close to the legendary level, it is not difficult to capture the Lord of Nax alive, it can be said that he is easy to capture. Naturally, the son of nature deliberately let him go... Even if he captures Little Nax alive and points his finger at the old Nax in Hornheim, it has no meaning to eradicate the slave trade itself. In order to protect himself, he would rather sacrifice a legendary mage than burn it to himself. This is probably the biggest concession for Hornheim since the end of the Golden Age, which shows how much they value Link...

Once again, Bridge was thankful for his success.

Watch Castle, Wood Elf, Morning Light Sect, and now even Hornheim, the strongest representative of humanity, chooses to form an alliance with Link. The title of the strongest god is not exaggerated at all.

The prosperity and prosperity of thousands of years have gradually forgotten that there are many species that are stronger than themselves in this world. Whether it is aristocrat or a wizard, they are all addicted to the glory of the past. The Son of Nature from another world represents the arrival of the new era, the gods, camps, and even the pattern, and all forces are reshuffled. If humans act accidentally, they are very likely to die in this transformation that swept the entire world.

"What's the reaction there?" Link contacted Bridge to find out if there was any movement in Hornheim, who had been staying above Waolet City for months.

"I haven't received any new updates here. Even if there are any actions, I can't find them in a short period of time. The City of Mages is not that easy to penetrate, and no one can go up except the mage." Bridge habitually stroked his goatee, "Maybe... the spider web can get some inside information."

"No, unless it is necessary, I don't want to contact the spider web directly." Zhu can control Link's every move at any time. In this regard, he is not afraid of Zhu's suspicion, but people are afraid of others' words. If you want to maintain a neutral position, not only does your own camp have to be unchanged, but you must be careful when dealing with people in your daily life.

No matter how itchy Bridge was, he couldn't ask directly about Link's strange behavior. He could only use other topics to hide his loss. "I have thought about it carefully these days, but I still think you should build a mercenary group."

Link was a little impatient with the president's old tune, "I have a special status and it is helpless to recruit mercenaries. Don't cause trouble."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to reshape the reputation of the union." Knowing why Link wasn't happy. Bridge explained that his advice was not entirely for the union. "The spider web was originally a Ranger organization under the League of Nature. You should know better than me."

Link nodded, waiting for Bridge's later words.

Licking his dry lips, Bridge, who felt pressured, had not been so nervous for many years. It seemed that he had returned to his green years. At that time, he was still an adventurer who had just debuted, without experience or identity, and whenever he saw big people, his palms were sweating.

"Since the alliance against the undead has been reconcluded, why can't we reorganize a spider-web-like organization?"

Repeatedly considering Bridge's suggestion. Link reads out of it that meaning is not literally.

"I thought your goal in life was to recreate the glory of the union?"

Bridge's hanging heart finally landed, and Link really understood his hint.

"It is difficult to achieve with the current distribution of power. This is the same as the pattern before you came to Edgar. There are many conflicts between the major nobles and the temples, with strong enemies outside and gaps inside, and an opportunity is needed to break this delicate balance."

"So you're interested in the transcendent and neutral identity of the Son of Nature?"

Bridge smiled without answering, while Link frowned.

For a long time, because of the special identity of the Son of Nature, he neither had to worry about the noble face nor was he afraid of traditional forces like the Temple. Bridge had always given him the impression that he was a little cunning, clever and stubborn. Because there was no confrontation with interests, he and Bridge had no chance to confront him. Until now, Link really understood why Bridge was called the White Fox.

This old man who looks like a stingy businessman is indeed smart. If he wants to reshape the declining adventurer union, he will inevitably encounter various obstacles. Bridge wants to divert his attention by supporting a brand new force, and sells a favor to himself. Haha~ This plan is really good.

Just as he was about to make a few sarcastic words, Bridge spoke up and repeatedly stated that it was for the sake of the overall situation.

"Some things are not convenient for you to take action, nor can you defile the reputation of the temple."

There was something in this sentence, and Link was silent for a long time.

"So... the mercenary group is just trying the waters?"

Bridge nodded, "It is natural that you can select reliable members yourself, and employ hiring is not only to avoid the conditions of the camp and followers, but also to prevent accusations and interference from the nobles and other temples."

Link was silent again.

He is introverted and does not like excessive communication with others. He does not like many people around him. In addition, the characteristics of his profession themselves mean that he cannot interact with people other than the druids. The son of nature is too strong and is restricted everywhere and destined to walk alone. Link never thought of forming his own power. Bridge's suggestion casts a stone that caused trouble in his heart. It is impossible for him to complete the important task of defeating the Immortal Empire alone. The neutral nature of the pillar itself is already destined that the newly built temple of nature will not participate in and interfere with affairs outside the clergy.

‘Some things are not convenient for you to take action, and they cannot defile the reputation of the temple.’ This is the most touching sentence of the many words Bridge said.

In order not to violate the precepts, the son of nature in the past created spider webs, and there are examples to follow, and there is no need to worry about breaking the taboos of the pillars.

Just... give it a try, it's just right to take advantage of this trip to the pit, where there are many powerful mercenaries.

Bridge, who had been observing Link, saw his expression condensed, holding his breath and waiting for the result.

"What are the requirements for forming a mercenary group?"

He agreed... Bridge clenched his fists, and his nerves that had been tensed were released.

Due to Link's relationship, in recent times, the Adventurers Union has been secretly resisted by similar forces headed by spider webs and warcrows. On several occasions, the materials used to maintain operation were almost impossible to collect. If you don't find a way to transfer firepower, you may be destroyed before the union can be revived, and you may be destroyed by other organizations with nobles or even gods as your backer. Since this crisis was caused by the Son of Nature, it should be eliminated by him.

Bridge calculated that Link would not refuse his proposal, so he plucked up what he said. Even Link's personality was counted by Bridge.

If it were someone else, it might be anger and angry, but Link would not. How could a person who doesn't even care about honor and etiquette get angry because of such a small plot?

I have to say that Bridge has indeed figured out Link's mentality and personality, and he will not be petty because of these unnecessary details.

He winked at the head of the Nax branch, who immediately brought the registration book and placed it in front of Link to explain the key points of the registration in detail.

Unlike adventurers, mercenaries do not need to disclose their true identities. The union will keep them confidential. Their origin, gender, and age are all unlimited. Some even serve as several regiment leaders alone.

Doyle, who had not said anything, couldn't help but wonder: "What name are you going to choose?"

He picked up his pen and signed a well-known name on the enchanted paper with an agreement contract. Link only took a few seconds to decide the group name. "Using human names and place names is too vulgar and there is nothing new. Since I am a life weaver from another world, I should just call it from afar, it is simple and catchy."

Considering Doyle's own instability, Link set himself as the leader. As for the deputy group, internal organization, Link was too lazy to think about it, so he simply used numbers as numbers. 1 is Doyle, professional magic warrior. 2 is Vera, professional warrior, and 3 is the disguise currently used. The profession has not been considered yet. 4 is Asa, Shadow Thief. Those who join in the future will be like this. In this way, even if they are found in secret investigations, they can be used as mercenaries, without having to worry about whether the son of nature should intervene.

After completing the procedures, it was early in the morning to leave the union. It was dawn and the streets were deserted. Except for the patrol revenge troops, they could not see anyone at all.

Called Asa, who was squatting outside the door, Link had achieved his goal in Nax City and was preparing to go to the next destination.

"Will you wait for him?" Asa couldn't help asking, referring to the Dawn Knight Neham.

Doyle glanced at the eventful wanderer with a hinted warning.

[Leave him aside, I'm afraid you will fight next time I meet.]

[I only agreed to let him go with me at the beginning, but I didn't say I wouldn't leave him alone.]

Such an answer made Doyle dumbfounded. Not to mention Neham, even he did not expect Link, as the son of nature, to cheat.

Taking the freshly baked mercenary certificate, Link and his group of three left the main door in a swagger. After waiting around, they couldn't see Link. Neham, who felt something was wrong, personally went to the union and realized that he had been fooled again. Knowing that their purpose was to get trapped, Neham, who couldn't get rid of his body, could only continue to stay in Nux and wait for Grantham to send someone to take over.
