On the huge mountain range between Orange and the direct territory of the King of Prussia, the environment here is not far different from the endless deep forest, and there are magical beasts everywhere.
Last time Luther crossed a huge mountain range and reached the king's direct territory, and then met Xing Ge.
But this time Luther went in another direction and arrived outside a stronghold.
This stronghold is eerie, like a vampire castle in a movie, or the castle of an evil dragon, with bats flying over from time to time.
At the entrance of the stronghold, there are two strange-looking knights guarding it.
The two knights wore black cloaks with hoods, covering their entire bodies in the cloaks, with only the knight swords at their waists exposed.
They saw the young man coming slowly.
A handsome, upright, well-dressed aristocratic young man, that is, Luther and Pompeii.
"Who?" the knight on the right asked. His voice was hoarse and low, which was very suitable for such an environment.
"I hope you can embrace the shadow." Luther bowed gracefully and replied. He reached out his hand and fumbled in his pocket for a moment, and took out a circular coat of arms.
The coat of arms is a dark bat.
The knight on the right took the coat of arms and fumbled with it for a while, then said: "The road to the shadow is very rugged. You need to pay thirty thousand gold coins."
"Of course." Luther nodded, released 30,000 gold coins from the space ring, and piled them on the ground. The knight on the right nodded, collected the gold coins, and then led Luther into the stronghold.
There are many people inside the stronghold, all of whom are dressed in strange costumes, making Luther feel like he has entered a weirdo paradise. There is a huge magic circle in the middle.
Luther stood up and came to a new environment amidst the colorful lights.
"Shadow Parliament, Mercenary Star!"
This is a planet with a sun, day, night, and stars, but the environment is very harsh and very unsuitable for human survival.
There are only magic cities on this planet, as well as deserts and oases. In the vast and boundless desert, there are many terrible monsters living.
The city under Luther's feet is an "energy oven" level magic city called Stedman City!
Although this planet is harsh, there are many mercenaries under the Shadow Council who like to live here because the gravity here is very strong, ten times that of the original planet.
Living here, you can invisibly exercise your body.
When Luther walked out of the teleportation array and officially arrived on the planet, he immediately felt his body sink, and the weight oppressed his body and internal organs.
But as an intermediate knight with an unusual physique, this weight is acceptable.
However, the knights who can come to this planet must be at least elite intermediate knights or above, because the knights below cannot accept the weight of this planet at all.
This side proves the strength of those who come in contact with it.
The mercenaries in the Shadow Council are not mercenaries or mercenary groups from the original planet. In the Shadow Council, there are very few mercenaries who trust each other.
They will not form a group. If they must cooperate, they will cooperate with familiar mercenaries for a short period of time.
The mission of these mercenaries is to help the Shadow Council and deal with things. For example, the Shadow Council discovers a very dangerous planet and needs to launch a landing operation.
Recruit mercenaries.
For example, let's say a wizard needs mercenaries as guards.
For example, go on an adventure mission.
The Shadow Council is essentially a mercenary organization. Each mercenary has a level and can accept corresponding tasks.
Even if some mercenaries are short of money or want to increase their strength, they can sell themselves and provide human experiments for wizards.
There are too many lunatics in the Shadow Council.
The reason for this is that the strong men of the Shadow Council are not very interested in reproducing future generations.
People in the wizarding country usually form a group of forces with their families as their ties and the magic city as their combat unit.
The Shadow Council does not have a strong sense of family, which leads to weaker connections and weaker trust between people. The most important thing is financial relationships, and what needs to be guarded against most is betrayal and assassination.
This contributed to the prosperity of mercenaries.
Use money to drive mercenaries and complete your own affairs.
Therefore, the people of the Shadow Council are very powerful in combat. Everyone is in a battle all year round, betraying others and being betrayed by others. It is difficult not to be strong.
But the structure of the Magic City is mostly the same. There are many hover cars in this Magic City.
Because the power of this Steeman City is an old "energy oven", which cannot provide sufficient power for these hover cars.
Therefore, the power of the hover car is all elemental crystals.
There are also passenger taxis.
It is dark now, but there are still many taxis. For the knights, day and night have little relationship, they are full of energy.
Luther called a taxi, and the driver was a middle-aged knight with a strong build and scars on his face who looked very fierce.
"I am very willing to serve you. May I ask where you are going?" The middle-aged knight's attitude was very kind.
But Luther knew that this was just the surface. If the guest showed himself to be a fat sheep, then the middle-aged knight would be happy to kill the guest.
Luther saw this middle-aged knight and glanced at the ring in his hand, seeming to estimate its value.
In Sidman City, killing is not illegal.
Only the strong will survive.
Luther smiled, spread his hands generously, showed his many rings to the knight, then opened the door and walked in, saying: "Go to the Crimson Bar."
Luther's confidence made the middle-aged knight retract his gaze.
The middle-aged knight is not very strong, he is just an elite intermediate knight. And those who can survive on the mercenary star are at least intermediate knights.
When the knight is not fighting, it is difficult to judge the strength of a knight.
If Luther showed timidity, the middle-aged knight would be tempted and even take action, but Luther's confidence and generosity made him worried.
"Fifty gold coins," the middle-aged knight said.
This price is very expensive in the wizarding country, but here is the Shadow Council, so it is a reasonable price.
If the charges were not expensive, who would want to rent a car?
"Okay." Luther nodded.
The car was going very fast, and about a minute later, Luther arrived outside the Crimson Bar. It was a very ordinary bar, like an old-fashioned bar in an American western movie.
In this bar, Luther can find Newton.
Luther became happy at the thought of seeing Newton soon. He happily paid the fare, pushed past the passengers and walked in.
The outside of the bar looks very normal, but the inside of the bar is very scary.
There were many, many fierce guests drinking, and they cast very fierce looks at Luther, as if they wanted to eat Luther.
On this mercenary planet, it's like being in an ocean surrounded by sharks. Strange faces are especially liked by the sharks.
