The matter was settled like this, Lin Li hired Sheen for three months at a monthly salary of five thousand gold coins.
At dawn the next day, Sheen arrived at the Emerald Tower, and then sat in the hall obediently, waiting for Wizard Ferre to get up.
His dark face was full of an excited smile. Although he was not able to become the follower of Magister Ferre as he wished, the three-month employment was enough to make the honest young man overjoyed. That was the most powerful person in Garros.
He is a character, and he is also the savior of his family. For this simple and honest young man, as long as he can follow Wizard Ferre, whether he is a follower or a hired man, it is enough to make him so excited that he can't sleep well at night.
The first two days were really exhausting. After seeing off Sheen and his son yesterday, Lin Li fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. He slept until about three o'clock in the morning today.
By the time he came out of the bedroom in a daze, the carriage had been waiting outside the Emerald Tower for a long time. There were many people in the guild hall. In addition to the people from the Demon-Slaying Valley, almost all the magicians from the guild were here.
Sheen sat far away in a corner, looking at these magical magicians with curious eyes.
"You've finally woken up..." When he came out of the pharmacy yesterday, Lin Li's face was so scary that Grean was so worried that he didn't sleep well all night, for fear that something might happen to this kid because he was tired, and he has been doing so until today.
In the morning, when he saw that his face had returned to its usual rosy color, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you there's nothing wrong..."
"Have you brought everything? Bring more clothes and so on. It's cold in Olanna. It's not worth it if you catch a cold or a fever. By the way, remember to put away your crystal card. Don't forget to put it away.
The thieves in that place are not Daphne's business.
If you lose it, you don't have to come back." Today's Grean seemed to be particularly nagging, but Lin Li felt indescribably warm when he heard it.
"I know, I know, the older you get, the more wordy you become..."
"You little bastard, you really don't know what to do!" Gregorian yelled a few words, but his eyes fell on Sheen again, with a hint of admiration in his expression: "This young man has great talent."
"Yes." Lin Li nodded. He knew that what Grean said was true and that Sheen's talent was great.
He is indeed so good that it makes people jealous. His natural strength allows him to reach the level of a fifth-level warrior or above without any training. If there is a real master to guide him, his future achievements will be limitless.
"Xian, what are you looking at?" Lin Li approached the honest young man, only to find that he was looking around with novel eyes.
"Looking at them." Sheen pointed at the guild hall with his hand. The expression on his face was exaggerated: "I have never seen so many magicians..."
"You will see me often in the future, okay Sheen, it's time for us to set off..."
"Oh..." The honest young man nodded and reached out to pick up the two-handed sword leaning against his side. This was when he went out this morning.
Old Polite just bought it for him. Lin Li solved all the problems with a bottle of detoxification potion, which also gave the father and son enough money to buy new weapons.
"I have prepared the weapons. Let's leave this at the Magic Guild." Lin Li shook his head and took out the two-handed sword wrapped in cloth from behind.
"this……"
"What is this?" Lin Li forced the giant sword into Sheen's hand: "Now you are the bodyguard I hired with money. How can you protect me without a good weapon? As for the one thousand gold coins lent to you... then...
I will deduct it from my remuneration.
"
Grean sent the two of them outside the Emerald Tower, where a carriage had been waiting for a long time.
"Be careful along the way." Gregorian did not forget to warn Lin Li as he was getting Lin Li into the carriage.
"I know, I know, don't be too hasty over there in the Demon Slaughter Valley. If you can delay it, it's best to delay it for a while. If you have anything to do, wait until I come back from Oranna."
"Well. Bon voyage!"
Amidst the crisp sound of horse hooves, the emerald tower gradually faded away.
Sheen was driving the carriage, the whip in his hand crackling, and his dark face was full of excitement and satisfaction. Being able to drive for Wizard Ferre was like a dream to him.
.
Lin Li was sitting in the spacious carriage, feeling a little drowsy as the carriage bumped. The tall spire of the Emerald Tower had disappeared from sight for a long time, and the scenery on both sides passed by quickly.
Unknowingly, we are getting further and further away from Garros...
…………
Blackstone Town is close to Yesong Forest and only a hundred miles away from Oranna. These two places, one is the paradise of low-level Warcraft and the other is the center of the Kingdom of France. They occupy such important geographical locations. Blackstone Town can
It is said to be blessed by nature. Whether they are adventurers who hunt Warcraft or businessmen who sell their goods all over the world, most of them will choose to take a rest when passing through this town.
The huge floating population has brought a prosperous hotel industry to Blackstone Town. In just a few hundred years, hotels in Blackstone Town have sprung up one after another. Today, this town has
, nine out of ten households operate hotels.
The sky is gradually getting dark, and there is silence in the mountains and fields, but there is a lot of noise in Blackstone Town. For the owners of the hotels, now is the best time of the day. They missed the businessmen in Sutou.
The adventurers who just came out of the Night Song Forest are the best customers of the hotel. They stay in a room with five gold coins a night without even blinking an eye.
Compared to these high-rollers, the magician just now was much stingier.
A room with one gold coin per night is still crowded for two people.
"To think that there is such a poor magician..." The maid looked at Lin Li with a look of disdain. She was pretty and pretty, but she didn't expect to be so shabby. Not to mention being squeezed into a room with a follower, she was still wearing such an old mage robe...
…
After introducing the two of them into the room, the maid didn't even hint at the tip and walked away coquettishly.
"The maids here are of such high quality?" Lin Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. He was reaching for the money, planning to give her two gold coins as a tip.
Fortunately, Lin Li didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have died unjustly...
He wanted two rooms, but Sheen refused to do so. He said that he was responsible for the safety of Wizard Ferre and must protect him at all times...
"Now let's see how you protect..." Lin Li frowned as soon as he walked into the room. The room for one gold coin per night was actually a bit scary. Just two beds and a table took up most of the room.
Space, plus Sheen squeezed in.
The room suddenly seemed extremely crowded.
"Mage Ferre, you..."
"Shut up!" Lin Li felt a huge headache when he heard Sheen calling him: "I've told you eight hundred times, don't call me Magician Ferre. We are an employer, and you are the employer.
Do you understand? In other words... I give you money and you do things for me. We are equal in terms of status.
You can call me Ferre, or you can call me Mr. Ferre."
After saying that, he reminded fiercely: "If you call me wrong again, you can go back to Garros by yourself..."
"Mr. Fei Fei?"
"Yes, very good!" It still sounded a little awkward, but it doesn't matter. You should get used to it after calling it a few more times. Lin Li comforted himself, then took off the robe of wrathful flames and fell directly on the bed: "
Go to bed quickly.
But don’t snore!”
"I never snore..."
This big man, who was said to never snore, nearly collapsed his hotel within half an hour of lying on the bed.
"Well, you never snore...you only thunder!" Lin Li was really worried about death. Sheen's terrible snoring was just like the howl of a monster. The thunder came one after another, which made the coquettish man
The maids were all startled.
In the middle of the night, he even made a special trip to knock on Lin Li's door, reminding the magician that it was best not to use magic in the room. If anything was damaged, the compensation would be very expensive!
"..." Lin Lizhi was about to defend himself and make up for the tip he just made when he suddenly heard a muffled "bang" coming from downstairs.
Then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, mixed with the innkeeper's questions.
But the answer was a loud slap in the face.
"Pa!" The slap was so loud and crisp that even Lin Li, who was far away on the second floor, could imagine from the sound that half of the boss's face was swollen from the slap.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were on the stairs in the blink of an eye.
From the sound, it sounded like there were about a dozen people.
Before the coquettish maid could understand, more than a dozen people had already rushed to the second floor.
The leader was a tall, strong man, who looked to be in his thirties. He had a deep and long scar on his face, which made him look extremely ferocious. Behind him were a group of heavily armed men, all of whom looked fierce and menacing. They were standing in the forest.
When walking forward, the strong man with a scar on his face did not stop, but gave Lin Li a fierce look: "Take out all the valuable things, kneel at the door and wait for someone to collect them. If you dare to hide them,
If a copper penny rises, you are dead!"
"..." Lin Li stood blankly at the door, wondering, could this be the legendary robbery? Damn, this is so exciting!
Then I saw a group of strong men who looked like wolves and tigers, kicking open all the underground house doors one by one.
The continuous muffled sounds even woke up Sheen.
"Magic Feyre... Oh no, Mr. Feyre..." Sheen climbed out of bed with a sleepy look on his face. While rubbing his eyes, he approached the door and asked Lin Li: "What happened?"
Already?"
"Hahaha, we were robbed!"
"..." The coquettish maid looked at Lin Li as if she were looking at a madman. Could this magician be scared out of his wits? He was smiling so happily even though he knew he was being robbed...
"Really?" Xian's eyes lit up, and he came over excitedly.
"Two perverts..." The coquettish maid cursed secretly, but her mood was extremely sad. She finally earned some tips as a maid, but she didn't expect to be so unlucky that she would meet someone from the Blood Wolf Thieves Group. Not only was she out of money.
It might even be hard to save your life...
Just when these two perverts were scrambling to look outside, the doors of each room had been kicked open, and about thirty or forty guests had all been kicked out. Some people were still wearing pajamas, while others were simply saying something.
None of them were wearing anything, and the only trace of sleepiness they had was frightened away by the bright weapons. Most of the people turned pale and trembled with fear, watching helplessly as a group of robbers rushed into their rooms.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the robbery will begin now, please cooperate a little bit." A strong man with a scar on his face stood at the end of the corridor, proudly announcing the current situation to everyone.
"Now, please put all valuable things at the door, and then kneel on the ground with your hands on your head. Our people will come to collect them soon. Please cooperate a little and don't hide anything privately, otherwise some unpleasant things may happen.
Things...I repeat, please cooperate a little and don't hide anything privately!"
"Damn it, you bloody wolf thieves group. I'm a member of the Silver Hand. If you have the guts to touch me, try it!" Just when everyone was at a loss, bursts of noise came from a guest room.
I saw a low-level adventurer holding a scimitar and staring at the Blood Wolf Thieves Group with a wary expression.
Lin Li shook his head with some regret. With his eyes, he couldn't see that this adventurer's strength was really poor. He was only at level three or four at most. On the other hand, his enemies, the members of the Blood Wolf Thieves Group, were very weak.
All of them were level five or above, and the scarred-faced brawny man among them was at least level eight.
No wonder they dared to rob the Boulevard Inn.
Yege Forest is a paradise for low-level monsters. Naturally, it can only attract low-level adventurers. Adventurers with strength above level eight will not be interested in this place at all. The rewards are too low.
Who among the powerful people would travel long distances for a dozen gold coins?
As for those caravans that can afford the protection of mercenary groups, how can they stay in Black Mountain Town? Just set up a tent in the wilderness and be protected by dozens or hundreds of mercenaries. Which bandit group would dare to go up after eating the bear's heart and leopard?
Looking for trouble?
Most of those who stay in Black Mountain Town only take short-term trips from Oranna to surrounding cities. The profits are not high in the first place, so naturally it is impossible to hire any mercenaries for protection...
"This Blood Wolf Thieves Group is pretty good at accounting..."
