"Name? Age? Occupation? What are you good at? What goals do you pursue?"
"Alon, 16, a black iron-level warrior, my swordsmanship is very good, I want to make money and become a great hero who saves the world!"
Looking at the silly young man in front of me, I nodded. This simple black-faced boy reminded me of Adam in the past.
"Next."
16-year-old Kurogane, what else are you training for? Can you advance to gold level in three years? This is not a nursery, you should find a team of rookies to polish it together.
"Caven, I'm over thirty, a silver shaman. My goal is to make enough money to buy the Fire Dragon Circus."
"Dish is in his forties. I am his brother and a proud warrior. My goal is to be a good brother."
"I'm the elder brother! Dia, you idiot who can't even count the numbers, we were born together, why are you ten years older than me?"
Well, this is a rare ogre shaman. It is said that it used to be a pillar of a certain circus. Later, when the circus collapsed, he came out to live as a mercenary and planned to make money to start a new circus.
"I am the brother!"
"I'm the one. Don't be afraid of you just because you can play tricks with glowing hands. I have the strength."
"Okay, let's guess the game, whoever wins will be the big brother."
"Okay, one, two, three, ha, stone."
"I am Bu, I won, I am the eldest brother."
"Caven, if you are too late, it won't count! Come again, or I will beat you."
"Whoever is afraid of whom? Today I will let you know the majesty of my brother. You idiot who can't even count nine."
But now, this even rarer two-headed ogre Cavendish actually started beating him because of his brother. While beating him, he screamed in pain, and he didn’t know whether it was the pain from the beating or the pain from being beaten.
.
I nodded silently. This two-headed ogre is indeed very powerful. He is born with both magic and martial arts. His comprehensive combat power has definitely reached the golden level of human beings. It is indeed quite rare. What's more important is that the rookie just now is different. Just join.
Can become an immediate combat force.
"Next."
But what I lack now is not combat power, but normal people. There are already enough perverts and weirdos in the team, and adding someone who is born to fight each other, am I going to laugh my opponent to death?
That day, after discovering that the "Gentlemen's Group" generally lacked moral integrity and common sense, I decided to recruit two more normal people, considering that I needed to increase their moral integrity.
Of course, another reason is that in this human country, there are too many foreign races in the gentleman group. If you use non-humans to communicate with the client, it will inevitably make people think too much. So even for the sake of appearance, I plan to recruit a few people.
As a mercenary, it would be better if you are familiar with the local snakes of this city.
Even if it can't help, it can still serve as a cover. If a group of aliens acting together like this is too conspicuous, a few aliens among a group of human mercenaries will be much better.
Without further ado, I just did what I thought of, so early this morning I set up a stall at the entrance of the Mercenary Association to recruit people. With the "friendly sponsorship" of the Earl of Broken Eggs, the salary offered was quite considerable.
But unfortunately, my foreign status and uncheckable background, coupled with the tense atmosphere of the succession ceremony, kept the senior mercenaries on the sidelines. Those who came to apply were either completely useless recruits, or this
Plant super weird things that other teams don’t harvest.
Glancing at Cavendish who was still exchanging words, I shook my head helplessly, got up and closed the stall and left. It seemed that today was a wasted morning.
But when I passed by the bounty board, I stopped.
"A-level reward mission: Find the real culprit who destroyed the sewers in the northwest corner of the Pearl District. No matter life or death, the reward is 200,000 gold coins."
This is a big deal. The A-level bounty can directly upgrade my classless mercenary team by a few levels. These 200,000 gold coins are enough to buy a mansion in the Pearl District, where land is precious. It seems that anything before the succession ceremony
Weird destruction will affect the official nerves of Oran.
I hesitated for a moment, considering that I had made a lot of money recently and was really not short of money. Although it would be fun to send the increasingly dangerous explosive maniac out in exchange for bonuses, it would probably involve me in the end. Unfortunately, I
It's a pity that I missed the opportunity to completely avoid a trouble.
Yesterday, when I was communicating with that Earl of Broken Eggs, it turned out that he was looking for a stranger to do something, just to kill someone and silence him. But when he saw that there were only three of us and two women, and he planned to meet her, Diana made a big move to break the evil.
I chopped down a dozen of them, then Koros destroyed the roof and everything else, and then I took out the devil's contract.
The fat earl was very knowledgeable. When he saw the paladin skillfully using devil's words to modify the evil contract, he was so surprised that his jaw was dislocated, as if he was seeing an angel and a devil dancing together.
And what happened after that was even simpler. I signed the contract and saw him paralyzed with fear. Considering that it would be a long and steady stream and it would be bad for everyone, I didn’t make too many demands. I just paid a large sum of money and a mansion.
As a temporary base, and then let him provide intelligence as my spy.
Of course, the Devil's Contract also adds weight little by little, so that people take the bait little by little. If you play big at the beginning, won't it scare away the fat sheep?
The old house is also in Mingzhu District. I am very satisfied with it. It is not a shame to always stay in a hotel. Although the house is a bit old, the decoration and garden are quite high-end. Now the members of the group are cleaning the temporary residence. As a
As the human captain, I just took the opportunity to recruit people.
If I were the only one, I wouldn't be so conspicuous. Without those guys with moral arrears holding me back, I should be able to recruit normal people.
Well, it's definitely not to avoid the responsibilities of cleaning, to find an excuse to be lazy or something, is it what a decent paladin like me would do?
"It seems that if you don't have a good reputation, you won't be able to recruit any decent people. Why don't you try the legendary compulsory course for time travellers, and discover those future heroes who are still frustrated? Well, if the plot time is up,
He should have been born already. Hey, when I just picked up the strategy, I thought that I and the legendary novel could receive a lot of super brothers, but I didn't expect that their ancestors were still in the state of fertilized eggs. I was embarrassed at the time. This should be better than
After finally making glass, it was even more frustrating to find out that the thing had been released a long time ago. Hehe, I have no scruples at all about poaching the Oran Empire."
I can't help but imagine going out and having a group of epic heroes behind me with their cool looks.
"I remember that the 'Swallow Sword' and the 'Magic Master' are both in the capital of Oran. How about going to find them tomorrow? Well, let's go to the Earl of Broken Egg to get some information first. Then, the recruitment task is completed, and we will take the
Where are you going to kill time?"
"Hey, hey! This is the big brother."
"You haven't told me whether you want to hire us or not. We want money to revive the circus, and we are very obedient."
Just when I was staring at the wanted poster and was distracted, and even started to think about how long it would take for the cleaning to be completed, and where to kill the time next, suddenly, my vision went dark, and then two ugly faces suddenly appeared in front of me, and their mouths filled with stench sprayed in my face.
.
"Ghost!"
Okay. What was faster than the exclamation was the instinct of the human body. Before I could react, my fist had already been punched out, and the feeling hit the real thing.
"He hit! He actually did it."
"Ha, you actually dare to provoke this stupid ogre who can't tell the difference between us and the enemy. It's a good show."
"If you kill one of the escorts, you will pay ten if you seriously injure them."
"Poor Fire Dragon Circus. It was poorly run and heavily in debt. The former members hurt people again. This time no one can save them."
From the exclamations of others, as expected, Cavendish is considered to be quite powerful in my eyes, and extremely amazing in the eyes of ordinary mercenaries, but no one has dared to use it because this ogre is easily angered.
When you go berserk, you can easily lose sight of friend and foe as soon as you enter a battle.
"I'm sorry, who told you to show up suddenly and accidentally."
I smiled sarcastically and took back the hand that was on Cavendish's belly, but some well-meaning people had already exclaimed.
"Boy, run quickly. What kind of reasoning can the ogre have? He only seriously injured a Northland Berserker half a month ago. Run quickly."
"How dare you check in..." The four eyes of the three-meter-tall two-headed ogre were first covered with bloodshot eyes, and then they began to turn white. The whites of the eyes were exposed, and saliva flowed from the mouth. The rest of the words could not be said.
Already.
"It's completely crazy! Let's stand shoulder to shoulder, otherwise we will all die here!"
Well, seeing the scene in front of me, an old mercenary was already roaring and taking the lead in charging.
Complete madness is the ultimate killing move (racial talent) for beings such as orcs, berserkers, and ogres. It will give up all reason and exchange vitality for the most terrifying power. Perhaps if it does not receive timely treatment after the end, it will basically lose its power.
The result is death, but before the end, it is definitely a killing machine fearless of life and death.
Cavendish's comprehensive combat power is already at the gold level, and he will be at least legendary when he becomes completely mad. The old mercenary's judgment is very correct. If he cannot be killed in time, I am afraid that no one present will survive.
but.....
The next second, the two heads and four eyes of the drooling ogre turned completely white. Then suddenly his head tilted and he fell directly to the ground, his huge body throwing dust all over the floor.
"How is it possible? Not completely crazy, but knocked down? Punched by that young man?"
The strongest old mercenary had a face full of shock. He really couldn't believe it. He had been a temporary partner with Cavendish and knew how thick-skinned this ogre who was both a shaman and a berserker was. He even
I have seen the mad Cavendish tear apart a war elephant, and now he was knocked down by a human punch?
But after the dust dispersed, the young man with a cheerful smile had long since disappeared.
At the same time, I accidentally punched with all my strength, but I had already taken advantage of the chaos to retreat.
The basic strength of an ordinary ogre is 16 points, and Cavendish, who has a part-time job as a warrior, has at least 18 points. Compared to a human with 10 points, it is indeed terrifying, but compared with 20 points that exceed the limit of a mortal, it is qualitatively better.
The difference, coupled with the fact that he accidentally used the recently practiced force-generating technique, is also the fundamental reason why it was hit by a punch.
As for why you want to run away?
"Damn it, I just wanted to make a name for myself, but such an appearance is too ugly. If I don't escape, I will definitely not be able to escape the title of Ogre Knight."
I still understand the mercenary business. For veterans, nicknames often spread further than their real names, and this nickname is often related to the first time they became famous. It is difficult to change after they bump into each other. If there is a giant dragon
It's natural to have a good reputation as a killer, for example, "Kobold Professional Killer", "Goblin Destroyer", "Wild Dog Exterminator", etc. But I won't be able to hold my head high for the rest of my life.
And weird nicknames such as "The Paladin who is more powerful than the Ogre" and "The Ogre Paladin", depending on my luck, will definitely fall on me, so I'd better run as far as I can.
Of course, I successfully completed my goal before leaving. The wanted poster in my arms was just a way to kill time before the cleaning was over.
"B-level wanted order: Bloody Hand Brotherhood, wanted for this group of damn pickpockets and killers, life or death. An ordinary member is worth 100 gold coins, a senior executive is at least 1,000, and the leader of the bandit, Bloody Hand Jim, will receive a bounty of 50,000. If completed before the succession ceremony
, the bonus is doubled.”
Although this bounty is much less than the A-level bounty just now, I really need information and training partners now, and in terms of good intelligence, who can be better than the Thieves Guild who is also a part-time intelligence dealer.
Soon, from Earl Broken Egg, I learned some basic information about the Blood Hand Brotherhood, a middle-class thieves union with less than 200 members, and they made a big deal. They robbed a certain country to His Majesty.
tribute, they are now wanted, and it is said that their home base is in the dock area.
"Two hundred people? Let's finish before dinner. Well, if I go back with the information, no one will say that I'm lazy."

In fact, since my resurrection, I have been thinking about what kind of spiritual path I am taking while being surprised by this high starting point.
Regardless of ice magic and undead magic, as a senior paladin, I am quite confident in melee combat.
But for this balanced and powerful body, if you take the route of a heavy-armored two-handed swordsman, then the agility of up to 19 points is obviously wasted. If you take the route of an agile warrior with light armor and a quick sword, then what is wasted is transcendence.
Gained 20 points of mortal strength.
What surprised me the most was that I found that the Knight of Order, as a basic profession, had no main attributes. Improving any attribute could increase the overall combat power. So, I hesitated even more.
"Should we take the dual-sword route? Or learn from the barbarians in holding a heavy weapon in each hand? That doesn't mean starting over from scratch."
Changing my fighting style is not an easy thing, but a small accident made me finally make up my mind.
【Freezing air】
This extremely insidious additional ability can be attached to the blade, causing the opponent to fall into a desperate situation unknowingly during a duel. In my original expectation, using the dazzling holy light on the sword to cover up the freezing energy will be more concealed.
and deadly.
But the reality is always not as expected. I have tried many times, but whether it is the Holy Light or the power of the law, as long as it encounters the freezing air, one party will definitely melt. If it were not for their natural conflict, I would still do it now.
The two sides cannot be integrated.
Don’t you need the Holy Light to focus on freezing energy? Is a Paladin who doesn’t use the Holy Light still a Paladin? He is obviously a pure warrior, or is he a rookie second-rate warrior who can’t concentrate on swordsmanship?
Of course, I focused on the two swords, one with holy light and the other with freezing energy. Theoretically, the two special powers can attack in turn, which can definitely make the opponent cry without tears.
Moreover, this not only brings out the advantages of my extremely high basic attributes that I have averagely developed, but this method of using two attributes at the same time is also very suitable for me who has quite mixed attributes. I can choose the two swords that come with each for my opponent.
properties.
But when I proposed this plan, the knights, including Diana, were not optimistic about my death-seeking idea at all.
"Dual swords are not simply using two swords. They are completely different from holding swords with both hands. The cycle between attack and defense is extremely important. When the left sword is drawn, the right sword must move even if it is not attacking, otherwise the balance of the body will be
It will be broken. Two-purpose and three-purpose distractions are the norm. At the same time, it requires particularly high balance and agility. It is simply a patent of the Elf Ranger. You are a human..."
This was Diana's hesitant attempt to dissuade her. She almost said directly, "You can't learn the profession of two-handed swordsman and elf ranger."
"Two swords? Or two two-handed swords? Haha, are you an ogre more than three meters tall or a highland barbarian two and a half meters tall? You can come up with such whims. If you can do it, I will... tonight...
..."
Okay. Seeing the scene in front of me, Momo swallowed back the rest of her words.
At that time, I had a two-handed sword in my left and right hands. I was still very unfamiliar at first, but as I swung it, I became proficient, and then it became like a veteran who had been practicing for decades.
"I don't believe it anymore, I must be just showing off, come and practice."
Well, Momo ended up in person, and amidst the shock of everyone, after I got through the initial rush, I settled the battle into my own rhythm. I used the heavy swords as dexterously as my own limbs.
The collaboration has a brisk rhythm, playing a high-speed waltz like clear spring water.
Momo, who was already weak in strength, could only hold on for less than thirty seconds this time before he was defeated with his hands numb.
"This is a miracle!"
The legendary paladin Diana looked at me in shock and disbelief at first. But then she smiled and nodded. It was as if this was natural.
In fact, I cheated without a doubt.
[Double Hands: Make your left hand and right hand equally dexterous. Learning requirements: Agility 15+ - System evaluation: There is really no difference between the left hand and the right hand. Please do not use this skill to do boring things]
Even though I had been traveling in the Elf Kingdom, I was bored and practiced my dexterity, and this option appeared in the gray skill box. However, since this is the core professional ability of a dual-sword ranger, even if the basic attributes are up to standard, I still pay
Three times the skill points.

A general talent, but 18 points of strength can only be learned. To play well, at least 20 points of strength are required. If it is not a giant race, basically only legendary warriors can get it. But by that time, the fighting style has been finalized, so what?
I will transform into dual-wielding heavy weapons, so this is also called the most useless skill.】
With the investment of four skill points, countless combat skills and experiences were brought into the mind and remembered by the body, which saved a lot of training time. Under the eyes of everyone in disbelief, he directly mastered the basic use of the two-handed sword.
Skill.
Of course, this is just the beginning, it just provides the possibility to try this fighting style, but if you want to become a master of two-handed swords like in the past, you still need countless hours of polishing and practical training, and the opponent in front of you happens to be very
A competent sparring partner.
"ha."
The two-handed sword in his right hand was filled with golden light, lighting up the dark basement, and the next moment, the thief lurking in the shadows was shot away.
Well, it's about shooting, not cutting. The two-handed epee is a typical example of convincing people with its strength. It can slash Huashan with all its strength. Naturally, it can also use its weight and huge sword body to bully others by shooting, smashing, and cutting.
But from the perspective of the opponent who flew away, fell into the wooden box and stopped moving, for the weak thief, there is no difference between shooting and slashing.
"It's a pity, you're in bad luck."
He shook his head and continued forward. As soon as he stepped into the next room, after the explosion, smoke was raised, and the thieves and assassins who followed him came out of the mechanism.
Okay, next, judging from the green dagger, showing mercy would be tantamount to seeking death, so I used all my strength and it became a one-sided crushing battle.
At the beginning of the battle, I finally understood why the silver-level Momo was defeated so easily. Just by changing to a fighting style that fully utilized the advantages of his basic attributes, his combat power was directly doubled.
It is still a king's sword that is fast, accurate and ruthless. It does not take any deviant directions or play tricks. Each sword is faster than the other, and each sword is heavier than the other. It conquers people with strength and speed.
But for agile assassins, it is very fatal.
The attack range of a two-handed sword is inherently large, and the basement is quite narrow. Once two two-handed swords are wielded, the space for hiding becomes even smaller.
After the agility that the assassins were proud of was suppressed, I was basically the one who struck first, and they had to withstand at least one round of my heavy sword at close range.
The heavy sword that had just managed to shine with the holy light was shaken unsteadily, but the next left-hand sword was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, without firing. Whenever it struck, it was aimed at the vital part, either cutting in the waist or attacking the throat.
The strongest silver-level shadow assassin only blocked three swords. The effect of the freezing energy didn't even take effect, and he was directly split in half by the sword in his right hand.
In just over ten seconds, the thieves lost seven or eight companions.
And when the strongest leader died in a meaningless battle, the thieves finally determined that they were an invincible opponent, and then fled in all directions without any doubts.
I didn't pursue it either, because the Banshee Queen was already complaining in my ears.
"If you don't hurry up, that guy will run away, and my clone will also be taken away. It's not easy for me to split a child body now, so don't waste it."
She did have a reason to complain, and it was really thanks to her that she was able to find it all the way this time.
How did I find the hidden Thieves Guild? I just pretended to be a fat sheep, and then let the pickpockets of the Blood Hand Brotherhood steal my wallet, which contained a very, very valuable Gem of Tears.
Then, as in the intelligence, the Brotherhood had very strict control over the lower-level personnel. Soon, even if there was some weird mucus around the gem, the Stone of Tears was transferred to the upper echelons of the Blood Hand Brotherhood, and then I followed my greed.
The clone's guidance followed me all the way.
Heloise's complaints are still ringing in her ears. If we don't hurry up, this time will be in vain. If the bandit leader escapes, the bounty and tribute will be gone, and the historical information of the primary target thieves organization will naturally be gone.
Since I had arrived at the location but couldn't see the road, there must be a secret passage in the basement, so I stepped up my search, but soon I found that I had indeed failed to add points to the search and mechanisms, and I clearly felt that the Greedy Sub-body was there.
Down below, I couldn't find the mechanism.
"Forget it, the technical stream is really not my thing. We are still used to violent door-breaking groups. Sword of Order! Create a trap for me!" (To be continued...)
