Blood is still warm - the demon's rift expulsion battle Chapter 5 When death knocks on the door
Alexander and Sophia issued a recruitment request at the Mercenary Industrial Company. It was getting late, and mercenaries covered in blood or mud were entering the hall one after another with materials. There is no point in staying at the Mercenary Industrial Company now. Let’s compare tomorrow.
good.
Alexander glanced outside and said: "It seems a little late to visit the alchemist at this time. Let's go back and see if we can bring the new recruits there tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go back." Sophia followed Alexander back.
Next, the three of them met at the hotel, and then had a delicious dinner. Alexander told Fageni what he had experienced today, and asked him what he saw when he went to the casino.
"That casino is really interesting. You can buy some practical things with the chips you win there." Fageni told what he had seen in the casino, focusing on the pair of gloves with space capabilities.
"Well, that's it. But nine times out of ten it's cheating, so it's best not to do it again." Alexander felt that even if there was space equipment, it might be defective, and this was probably just a marketing ploy.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Sophia asked. Maybe Guzhuo Town would be different at night, but the three of them also spent a lot of energy today.
"Well... it's not impossible to go for a walk." Alexander just wants to rest now, and there may be certain restrictions at night. If he wants to go out, it would be better to ask the waiter. Fageni nodded noncommittally.
Sophia packed her things, went downstairs to find a waiter, and asked if there was anything in Guzhuo Town that needed attention at night. She learned that she was not allowed to leave the town after 8:02 pm, and most shops must close at 9:30 pm.
Go home immediately. Of course, you can go out if there is an emergency. This is for ease of management.
The Black Rose mercenary group is responsible for guarding at night, and the Janar mercenary group is responsible for guarding during the day. The Cyclops mercenary group is responsible for suppressing nearby monsters and unclean creatures. These three A-level mercenary groups are permanently stationed in Gu.
Zhuo Town.
And now the clock shows it's two quarters to seven. There's plenty of time, Sophia thought.
Alexander chatted with Fageni for a few more words, looked at Sophia who was standing not far away and had just finished questioning, and went over to ask her: "How are you? Can you go out for a walk?"
"Okay, we have about two hours before we can go out for a walk." Sofia thanked the waiter and returned to the table.
"Then let's go for a walk. Fagni, are you coming?" Alexander walked directly to the door.
"Where are you going?" Fageni stood up and thought for a while, but did not agree directly.
"Just take a walk, I haven't thought about it yet. But I might go back and have a look around the alchemist client's residence. If I happen to meet him, I can get some fresh air."
"After all, we are not very familiar with this place, so walking around is a good way to get familiar with the environment." Sure enough, girls don't get sore feet when shopping.
"Let's go then. If we meet her, we can see how strong she is." Fageni folded the plates and decided to go with them.
But there is a problem. If someone comes for an interview and no one receives them, it will be very troublesome. "Ah, by the way." Thinking of this, Alexander stopped and stood in front of the door and turned around and said, "Maybe someone will
Come to the interview in advance?”
"Hmm... Is that possible? Alexander, did you leave any time for the interview before?" Sophia asked.
"Even now..." Fageni looked at the clock and continued: "It's already past half past seven. How could anyone be so anxious?" He completely forgot that he had been in such a hurry before.
"I'll stay until tomorrow morning, so it's really possible. Forget it, I won't go. You two go, I'll wait in Sophia's room."
After speaking, Alexander took the key handed over by Sophia and walked upstairs.
"Then, it's really possible. Then let's go and take a look." Fageni curled his lips and turned back to look at Sophia.
"Let's go, let's go." Alexander planned to review the elemental harmony in Sophia's room and study the drawings of the dragon's power potion, although it was probably useless.
"Excuse me, Alexander." Sophia said and went out with Fageni.
Alexander has studied this potion blueprint many times. Unfortunately, she can only handle the basic elemental blending and the ordinary core of origin. The power of the dragon completely belongs to the category of alchemy, but there is something suitable here.
If you are in a certain place, you might try cutting some powder from the dragon crystal to identify its characteristics. This might make it easier to research potions.
Although Alexander thought it could be done, she still failed after busy operations. She heated and digested the solution of dragon crystal powder, leaving only a layer of useless residue. After sighing, she tidied the table and waited for the maintenance of the weapon.
.
By the way, there is a very special being in Guzhuo Town. His name is Moengnan Servin. Because in the previous commissions, all his teammates were always wiped out, and he was the only one who escaped. Mercenary
ICBC secretly followed this person twice because he was suspected of killing teammates. As a result, the team that allowed this person to join would be very unlucky.
As time went by, no one was willing to let Moengnan join the team, and as a result, he became a famous lone adventurer. Thanks to his strength as a B-level adventurer, at least he could still run away if he couldn't fight.
Today, Moengnan completed a D-level elimination mission. Those unclean creatures could hardly break through his defense, but the money was not much. It was already dark when he returned to the mercenary industrial company.
"The Thirteenth Mad Wolf Mercenary Group is recruiting people." A mercenary on the other side of the commission wall said.
"What, that mysterious 13th Mad Wolf Mercenary Group that has never been seen before, the B-level one?" Another mercenary asked in surprise.
"Yes, yes. Hey~ Wilson, come and take a look, are you interested? Didn't you just get to level B?"
"I'm not interested. My target is an A-level mercenary group like Cyclops. I won't join any mercenary group before that."
"Nez, are you the only one who has just reached the C-level adventurer and still wants to join the B-level mercenary group?"
"I want you to take care of it!"
"What, there is such a thing." When Mo Engnan went to submit the task, he heard the noisy conversations of these adventurers as he passed by. Then he sniffed like a dog, wiped his hands and went
I leaned against the commission wall.
After reading the complete recruitment information, Moengnan felt that this was a good opportunity. According to the strength of the mercenary groups he had participated in in the past and the temporary teams he formed with other adventurers, they were definitely not of his level.
The group is destroyed.
"That must be me." Mo Nan reached out and tore off the piece of paper, intending to go to the front desk to inquire. He discovered that this commission must have been posted repeatedly, and the stickiness of the ghost spider glue had greatly weakened.
Ghost Spider Glue - Ghost Spider is one of the common targets entrusted by C-level groups. The monsters that live in groups have strong fecundity.
[It seems that there will be competitors.] Mo Nan ignored this and registered first. The lady at the counter glanced at Mo Neng Nan and seemed to want to say something but swallowed it back and registered a formal application for him.
After the certification, the paper containing the recruitment information was recycled.
[She must be happy for me.] After Mo Nan registered, before the control time came, he went to the hotel to find someone.
After Alexander put away the beaker and washed his hands, there was a knock on the door, which Alexander's ears could not mishear.
Alexander opened the door and asked, "Are you here for an interview?" Outside the door was a bearded short man carrying two axes. Alexander almost thought he was a dwarf.
"Ah, Miss Sophia is out. I am Alexander from her team. I can also receive interviews. Please come in." Alexander made the position convenient for people to enter the room. "Please sit down, I don't know what to call you?" She went to pour two glasses.
Tea, and then I remembered that this was not my room, but water would be fine if I didn’t have it.
The short man did not sit down after entering the door. He waved his hand and first told his name was Fan Mailin, and then simply introduced himself: "That's it, Ms. Alexander, I am a C-level adventurer with B-level strength, but
I haven't taken the assessment to upgrade to level B yet. I have mastered the rare ability of barbarians, lucid madness. I originally planned to take the assessment in the near future. When I saw the commission, I came to ask if I could join your mercenary group. Because of my sanity
The side effects of going berserk are greater than ordinary going berserk. If someone in the team covers me, then I can maximize my strength." He did not close the door, as if he was ready to be rejected and could leave at any time.
"Hmm..." Alexander looked at this person. "Didn't you conduct an assessment? Although the entire team has not undergone any assessment. We do lack people who can firmly stand in the front row, and the team's cover ability is not bad.
.What is the specific effect of becoming sober and mad?”
"There has been no assessment? But the answer everyone got from the Mercenary ICBC is that the Thirteenth Mercenary Regiment took two consecutive assessments from D level to reach B level."
"Probably just kill something and pass the test." Alexander said easily.
The adventurer named Van Melin was surprised and focused entirely on the vague information Alexander knew.
"Okay, this has nothing to do with you now, just talk about your own business."
"Is that so?" The short man was silent for a moment and said: "Berserk transformation allows a person to instantly have the ability to nearly double the combat power, but the side effect of berserk transformation is that the enemy does not recognize ourselves. This is very common in the Berserker profession.
ability, but it is different from being sober to madness. During the process of madness, I can remain conscious and not affected by the desire to kill, but the duration is shorter and the time of weakness is longer. If this ability is not counted, my normal combat ability is
He is also the best among C-level." The berserker's berserker he mentioned should be the barbarian's berserk, but this ability is not that rare. After all, Raphael, who has teamed up with Alexander, can almost do this.
Kino is even more able to completely control himself in the midst of rage.
"Well, it's just like the literal meaning." Alexander nodded and stood up. "Let's make it simple. Let's find a place to fight. If I recognize your strength, you will join the team. By the way, you are alone.
Adventurers, right? We don’t plan to over-expand the team. If there are other companions, don’t blame me for not informing them in advance.”
The short man nodded, and at this moment Moeng Nan found this place. "Ah, is this Miss Sophia's room?" He poked his head out of the door and looked at the two people inside.
"Ah, are you here for an interview too?" Alexander looked at the person who came. This person's eyes were like golden eyes, with a pair of vertical pupils embedded in the middle. His eyebrows were as black as ink, his nose was straight, and his teeth were slightly slender.
The belt is sharp, and the outline of the face can be described as sharply cut. Although the body does not have large bulging muscles, it is still a body that can be considered strong by others. The long black hair hanging down from the shoulders is spread to the shoulders, and the black mail is painted
It covers the entire torso and extends to the limbs. It is connected to the arm armor on the upper arm. There are black boots on the feet, and a cloak that is a must-have for travelers at home. There is a belt connected to the waist.
A fanny pack and a harmonica on his waist.
"Ah, yes, is there someone here first?" Moengwen came in from the door.
"Are you...Death Mo Nan?" The short man's face didn't look good.
"I'm Alexander, who is on the same team as Sophia. Just come to me for the interview. It just so happens that Fan Mailin is also here for the interview. Come out with me and let's find a place to compare notes... Hmm? Have you heard of him?"
"What is Death Mo Nan? That's someone else's slander." Mo Neng Nan was also helpless, even splitting his name. "We are all adventurers, how can we still believe this."
The short man waved his hand quickly: "Although I say so, you are so unlucky."
"It's just unlucky, it's nothing serious." Moeng Nan looked like he didn't care at all.
"What's going on?" Alexander became even more confused.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that five or six of the teams I'm with have been wiped out, and I'm the only one left. But actually, it's because I'm stronger and they are a bit weaker."
"This is not ordinary bad luck!" Alexander broke out in a cold sweat. "Rather than saying this is bad luck, I think it must have something to do with you."
"I don't think so. The team will often dive into the monsters. Did you just compete?"
Alexander had already begun to think about how to reject this person, but he still kept talking: "Ah, anyway, let's go out and gesticulate first. If the strength is too low, it will be meaningless."
"Let's go early, it's almost the control time." Moeng Nan hasn't had dinner yet.
Alexander noticed that the dwarf made a faint sound from his nose, and took a step back with his left foot: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'm going to leave first, sorry to bother you."
"Ah, so urgent?" Moeng Nan looked at the short man with amusement.
"Huh?" Alexander looked at Fan Mailin with sharp eyes: "Aren't you going to attend the interview?"
"Well, um. It's okay. You can deal with your assessment first. Mr. Moengnan is also a well-known B-level adventurer, so I'll leave first." The short man was about to rush out of the door.
"Well, is that so? Let me make one thing clear. I just told you that our entire team has not passed the assessment just to encourage you. I just said it casually." Alexander regretted a little.
Moeng Nan made way, and the short man yelled, Haha, and left the hotel as if he was running away.
Alexander chased him out and finished his words: "Don't talk nonsense and cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"The whole team failed the assessment, what's the matter with this?" Mo Engnan was a little confused and followed him out, and took the door by the way.
"Of course. I didn't go anywhere today." The short man was covered in sweat, his voice was trembling when he spoke, and then he disappeared into the crowd of people returning home without looking back.
"What a rush." Moengnan commented with his hands on his hips.
"Well, that's fine." Alexander turned back and looked at Moeng Nan who was standing by the door. "Look, look. Who will come to us for an interview now?"
"I didn't know I was so scary. Let's have a fight first." But there is no suitable venue here. It seems that the only choice is to go to the competition venue outside the town or the mercenary industrial company, but the latter may cause a sensation.
"There is no other way. Our schedule is very tight at the moment. Let's let you join the team for now. We will set off tomorrow to carry out the mission of five fierce water leopards. When the fight starts, we will know whether you really have it or not.
Now, let’s make it clear first. If you end up like this, don’t blame me if you die.” It seems that there is no need for another interview.
"Let's gather here tomorrow morning." Alexander told Mo Engnan, and then returned to Sophia's room.
"Ah, is that good? I'll go back first." Moeng Nan said in surprise, and then returned to his rented place to rest. He planned to have breakfast tomorrow morning and wait here when the hotel opens.
With.
On the other side, time went back slightly. Fagni and Sofia looked on the street. Even though it was far less prosperous than Lamesa at night, it was still pretty good for a town of this level.
"This place is not as beautiful as Lamesa, but the commission reward is several times higher than Lamesa." Fageni and Sophia kept a distance of two meters, chatting incessantly.
"After all, this town is close to the Wild Forest, and the demand for mission commissions should be higher than that of Lamesa. However, the price here is quite different from Lamesa."
According to the original plan, the two of them strolled around and then went to the Alchemist Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. After paying the rent last month, Hitz’s wallet was already at the bottom, so she could only quickly order a box of cheap ordinary herbal medicine from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. She was picking up the
I plan to go home after arriving. After collecting other necessities in the forest tomorrow, I should be able to try to research the universal healing potion again.
"Oh, I'm almost out of money this month. The rent in Guzhuo Town is so expensive." Realizing that life was not easy, Hitz Eileen sighed alone. "But it doesn't matter. Once we find those medicinal materials and develop the potion, I will
Just sell it cheaply, and you can get some money back anyway."
When Fageni and Sophia walked to the main entrance of the Alchemist Industrial Bank, they saw their employer and potential teammates.
"Good evening, Miss Hitz." Sophia approached Hitz to greet her and then took out the commission certificate. "We are members of the 13th Mad Wolf Mercenary Group. Today we accepted the commission you issued to go to the forest to collect materials.
This is proof of our acceptance of the mandate.”
"Huh? Oh! Did you accept the commission I posted? Finally someone accepted it, thank you. So, what do you want from me?" The long-eared elf in a dark blue outfit rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while.
After that, I recalled seeing the two people in front of me during the day.
The certificate presented by Sofia showed that they were indeed a B-level mercenary group, but in fact the amount paid by Hitz was only the amount of a C-level general commission, even though the above sticker showed that Sofia and the others accepted Hitz's commission and other
A B-level commission is also profitable for her. "You are actually a B-level mercenary group! I didn't expect you would be willing to accept this commission from me. Thank you so much."
"Yes, we are here to discuss something with you. As you can see, our team has accepted another commission. The location required to complete the commission may overlap with the location required for your commission. So about tomorrow's
During the trip, our team plans to do another commission along the way, which may cost you some extra time on your collection journey, so we’ll discuss it with you." Sofia said very politely.
"No problem. It's great that the B-level mercenary group is willing to accept my low-paying C-level commission. It doesn't matter if it takes a little more time." Heath didn't care about this matter at all.
"Okay, I heard that Miss Hitz is very good at magic. I think our trip will go very smoothly." Sofia smiled and briefly went over the details of the mission with Hitz.
"So, Miss Heath, are you interested in helping us complete another commission? Because that task seems a bit difficult, we can give you a share of the reward." After comparing the tasks entrusted by Heath,
After the details, Fageni came up with a proposal.
"Remuneration!" Hitz, who had a sharp ear, heard the word "remuneration" after discussing the details of the mission, and suddenly became excited: "You can still pay me a reward?!"
Fageni was stunned and replied: "Yes." He didn't understand why the elf in front of him was so excited.
"If there is a reward, of course I will be obliged to do so!" Heath Lake's blue eyes were full of longing for Lindsay. Probably for a client who has always paid fees, receiving a reward is also a rare thing.
, not to mention that Hitz itself is short of money.
Sofia didn't expect it to be so easy to persuade Hitz to join her team as a supplementary combat force, and she was a little surprised. However, the expression on her face was still calm, and the girl nodded and continued: "Then let's welcome Miss Hitz in advance.
, I look forward to your help.”
"You know, the rent in Guzhuo Town is very expensive." At this point, Heath began to think about it casually: "Originally, I wanted to live here for a long time, but it turned out that the rent issue made it inconvenient for me to do research.
"
Fagni nodded, and then changed the subject: "I am an agile warrior, Sophia is a magician, Alexander is an archer, and we have one or several newcomers who may join. May I ask Miss Hitz?
Are there any skills that can help the team?"
Hearing what Fageni said, Sophia looked at Fageni from a position where Heath could not see him, with a helpless expression on her face. [I have to tell Fageni later that I need to pay attention to the nouns here and the empire.
The sides are different.]
"Well, I can make healing potions and mana potions. Although the effect cannot be doubled, my cost is still cheaper. Also, I am also a magician, good at plastic magic." Hitz did not say that the potions he made have any
Timeliness is a matter. According to the mercenary group certificate, another task accepted by this B-level mercenary group can get up to 80 linseys, while the batch of potions that Heath Eileen sells is only 5 linseys.
Although it is only a very cheap lowest-level potion, it can also reflect the difficulty of this commission.
Fageni nodded and said, "That's great."
[It seems that fortunately Miss Heath was focused on the reward of the mission and did not pay attention to Fageni's words.] Sofia listened to Heath's self-introduction and thought silently.
"Sophia, do you have anything else to say?" Fageni looked at Sophia.
"Ms. Hitz, could you tell me specifically how much the potion you made costs? As well as the specific effects and conditions. If the effect is good and the cost is acceptable, I think we can customize some potions for you." Hearing Hitz.
Regarding the introduction of her potion, Sophia nodded and asked Hitz. Considering the price of the potion in Guzhuo Town, maybe the potion of this alchemist lady can bring some surprises. After all, the potions here are not very cheap. If
Being able to find potions that can replace the ones you normally use is a good way to save money.
"The cost of a mana potion sold by Lindsay on the market is about... sixty paise," Hitz said after considering it.
"Material cost?" Sophia was a little surprised. If you calculate it this way, it would be a huge profit.
"Yes, but it is also time-sensitive and cannot be saved for too long." Heath nodded awkwardly. "On the contrary, the cost of a healing potion sold by Lindsay only costs 70 paise, which is incredible."
Hitz tried to ease her embarrassment by complaining about the merchant who sold her formula.
Fageni stood aside and said nothing. After confirming the cost, Sophia nodded and told Hitz that he would consider purchasing some potions from her after confirming the effect of the physical objects. Then he said goodbye to her and left.
While I was there, I took a look at the current time. It was already dark, and there were many adventurers and other townspeople going home on the street, but there were just a few people wandering around. After bidding farewell to Heath, Fageni followed him.
.
After discussing the cost of making the potion, Hitz also went home alone.
"Hmm... I didn't expect it has been out for so long?" Sofia looked at the pedestrians on the street, turned around and said to Fageni behind her. She was thinking to herself, "It would be nice if I could check the time at any time, I don't know."
Is there any small clock that can be carried around?】
Fageni nodded, looking at this dark and dirty look which made people upset. "Let's go and see how Alexander assesses newcomers."
"Just go back and ask. I hope I can recruit a reliable new person." Sophia went back to the hotel along the way she came.
