The cap-like roof seems to have life and is slightly writhing and folding. The light blue magic light under the cap roof fills the entire spacious meeting hall. Representatives of the Betis mage family are arranged in a circle around the round table.
I waited patiently for the respected old Fa who seemed to be sitting in front of the door.
The teacher spoke, and the half-filled jasmine tea steamed up wisps of fragrance, making the originally quiet hall completely silent. Maveris looked around and saw that this group of people had no intention of breaking up, and he knew that they were putting him under house arrest in disguise.
Here, Maveris is not very worried, he knows
It was originally impossible to restrain these high-level mage families who had special ideas in mind for targeting the special location of Betis Frontier Fortress. Originally, these high-level mage families were still concerned about their status as the direct committee members of the Palace of Truth as the Lord of Betis City, but
With the early ban on the fire demon invasion, these high-level magicians
The master family provided a lot of strength in the follow-up actions, which gave them a lot of voice and credibility in the main city of Betis. This time the reconstruction of Betis involves the top priority of the mage in the Mage Tower.
He would be surprised if the powerful high-level mage family did nothing.
"Everyone, it's been almost a week, right? Our discussion has gone on a little too long." Mavericks decided to test the waters first, "We should also sign a clear agreement on our key matters, right?"
"Teacher Maveris, please don't be too anxious. The Immortals dispatched by the Palace of Truth are currently supervising the defense construction of the main city of Betis. Don't you believe in the power of the Immortals?" said a man who looked about thirty years old.
The man wearing a classic seventh-level gold robe said loudly.
"Yes, the regulations of the Mage Tower still need to be reconsidered. After all, the sudden heavy thunderstorm caused by the suspected opening of the thunder door has taught us too many lessons. As the city lord, shouldn't you be responsible for the defense system of the entire main city?
Complete and consider more
Would you consider it?" Another seventh-level dark mage responded. It is also a very rare situation in the mage world to regard the dark system, which is regarded as a secondary attribute by ordinary mages to assist in spell research, as its main attribute. Just as ordinary mages in order to protect themselves
purity of field
People rarely practice other spells at the same time, but dark spells are a small exception, because dark magic itself has a relatively mild nature. Due to this nature, dark spells will almost never have an impact on the main attribute field.
Because dark attribute spells are not as lethal as other spells, some scholars even published articles pointing out that dark magic is more like ancillary magic of other legal systems. To give a simple example, physical creatures will have shadows when encountering sunlight.
Dark magic is the shadow of other magic systems.
"Dong Dong!" Just as other mages were about to persuade Maveris to consider it, a discordant sound came from outside the hall.
"Sorry," a middle-aged mage wearing a dark blue mage robe stood up. Different from the various star-shaped badges that other mages wore on their chests to symbolize the realm of the mage, the badge on his chest was very unique.
It is a crystal gem-shaped badge mixed with various colors, which represents that he belongs to
A unique and even transcendent system in the mage field, the precognitive system. "It seems that I failed to provide a quiet environment for everyone, so I'll excuse you." The others watched silently as he stood up and dived in, seemingly seamlessly.
The obsidian wall looks like it's just an illusion.
Rows of small and medium-sized silver-white magic puppets with unique looks have surrounded the guests of the mage wearing dark blue robes. Some are animal-shaped magic puppets that look like Warcraft and are assembled from dense metal parts. Some are similar to
Humanoid magic puppet
Compared with the larger animal-shaped magic puppets, those human-shaped magic puppets show higher intelligence. The magic puppet standing in front of the guests looks like a strong human warrior. It is even talking to the guests.
Asking the other party why they are here.
"I'm sorry," the middle-aged mage made a casual move, and the magic puppets stepped back one after another, leaving a wide passage between the guests and the middle-aged mage. The humanoid magic puppet that looked like a warrior did not follow the other magic puppets.
He pulled away and stood firmly between the middle-aged mage and the guests, like a silent boundary, "I, Flo
Field, the patriarch of the Lyon family, invited representatives of the high-level mage families in Betis and our city lord to discuss specific matters regarding the subsequent construction of the Betis mage tower. I hope you don't mind the defensive puppet I had to show for your sudden arrival. Now you can
Could you please introduce your identity and origin first, unknown guest?"
"I think you have learned a lot about me through it, right?" The high priest took off his hood, and the sparkling light reflected from his slender ears made Field believe in the accuracy of the information transmitted by his magic puppet.
"Sea Clan? I think we may need to find another place to chat. Thank you very much for leading the way for our Sea Clan friends, Master Jerok." Field took a step back, turned around and stretched out his hand to guide him in a direction.
Everything is being revived in the Mage Fortress. Although the towering Mage Towers are no longer there, there are clusters of temporary magic equipment buildings like colonies. For mages who are accustomed to a comfortable living environment, they have developed these portable home appliances.
Magical weapons are a no-brainer.
"No need to go to so much trouble. It should be said that what I am looking for on this trip is the protagonist of your council, Mr. City Lord of Betis." The high priest smiled and said.
"City Lord?" A smile appeared on Field's face, "Okay, then you might as well ask friends from the Sea Clan to observe the meeting of Betis Construction. I can imagine that you should be quite good at these annoying things among the Sea Clan.
Maybe you can provide some good ideas."
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful," the high priest said...
Frankly speaking, Liming is not used to the feeling of paying attention to a group, but it is helpless that all the big guys are staring at her, and she can't confront them one by one like she can in private, especially those who are staring at her.
There is also Captain Kevin Ke, whom we rarely meet, but then I think about it, I am a man who has highlighted himself several times in the mercenary competition, so I can’t let my momentum show off!
"We have already heard about you, so you don't need to be so nervous." The yandere Siren quite understood Lai Ming's state and was the first to break the awkward atmosphere and go straight to the topic, "The runner-up in the mercenary competition is pretty good, so why not,
The runner-up ranking couldn’t be better.”
"Yes, you did a good job." Winston said, "Do you need to hold a special celebration banquet? I think it seems to be a worthy suggestion."
"The main purpose of coming here this time is to ask you for specific details," Kevin Ke also spoke up. "First, do you feel that this mercenary competition has improved you?"
"Should, yes?" Liming hesitated, how do you say this? Could it be that to tell the truth, I had a winning streak all the way except for losing to Yiluo Lisang, a genius mage who was rarely seen in Kista for thousands of years?
He even almost won the mercenary competition in the end? No, you have to be humble! "Through this mercenary competition, my horizons have been greatly expanded. It turns out that mercenaries
There are so many changes in the soldiers' weapons and combat skills. What's more important is that I not only experienced the mercenary culture of Putuo Lisang, but also made close friends. I have improved a lot both physically and mentally. I feel
I am very lucky to have gone through this trip, and I am very grateful to you for providing me with this precious opportunity to see all this!"
"..." The voices in the main hall fell silent, and Liming saw the complexity in their eyes.
"It can be more practical. For example, whether the realm bottleneck has been loosened and whether your actual combat power has increased. In fact, it is the most direct way to test it with fists." Fuling said quietly, and Li Ming felt a chill down his spine inexplicably.
Were these guys just hesitant to use the initial method to test their own strength? It's very possible!
"It seems so," Kevin sighed, "Let's not beat around the bush, we think that if your strength is enough to reach the sixth level, we can properly consider you as the deputy leader of the Tidal Mercenary Group.
The thing is, on the one hand, your strength, on the other hand, you need to be able to gain their recognition. Kevin Kexi has tried his best to help you. It seems that the latter one requires some timing and talent. That's it, Liming, you still have to do it.
Is there anything you want to say?”
Hmm? That's it? That's it? I've been conflicted in my heart for a while! The result is this? It's boring! Suddenly Li Ming felt a flick on his forehead, and his eyes must have seen the shrunken Xi Ruier with a look of gloating.
The expression is smiling at myself, ho ho, I have already imagined your barbell-like laughter!
"Well, it seems like there's nothing else I need to say." Li Ming was a little embarrassed.
"Then you should go back first. You can take care of the barbecue on the campfire yourself." Kevin Ke looked at Liming with a slightly helpless expression. He was probably thinking about whether Liming was qualified for this position.
"Okay." Li Ming turned around, feeling their eyes piercing behind her, and tried to leave their sight at a pace that was not deliberately fast.
"Come out?" Liming heard Da Tou's somewhat surprised voice.
"Ah, it's out." Liming was almost certain that this guy's next sentence would be, "Why did you come out so quickly?"
"Actually, it's not that big of a deal. Remember to be there for the bonfire barbecue in the evening. The venue and ingredients are all taken care of. Are you impressed?" Liming felt that he didn't seem to be good enough for them to handle this matter, so he simply announced it frankly.
"Then I'll call someone for you. I hope your reputation is big enough, otherwise you'll be doomed if only two people stare at you!" The concern in Brother Big Tou's words made Liming feel warm in his heart.
"What are you afraid of just staring at me? In fact, many of my entertainment projects are done by two people. It takes a lot of work and can also embarrass people to death?" Even though Li Ming said this, he still felt that Da Tou was a big help in preparing these.
Things also take a lot of time. I don’t know if Kevin Kexi and the others are in the Tide Tide headquarters now. If I really can’t find anyone, Brother Big Head might be able to bring back a few sea tribesmen to make up the number. It doesn’t count.
Isn't it a cold start?
"If you need to get ingredients, I can lead the way." Wenster's voice sounded. Liming saw the other person and naturally stood next to the two of them. "Captain Kevin and the others are very worried. They think you might not be able to find the ingredients."
If you encounter some small troubles that are difficult to deal with, you can be considered a person who has made some contribution to the tide, so I can still help you look after it with this small favor."
"Then, I'm really grateful." Li Ming smiled.
A handful of green smoke rises from the crackling burning wood. The bonfire frame is set up as high as two or three people. Carefully holding up the spark, it pulls the magnificent and beating red flame and spreads towards the side pillars to build a fire tower. Several long poles are running through it.
The bottoms of pieces of roasted meat covered with crude spices were buried in the soil. People sitting around the fire tower were waiting quietly for the heat released by the fire tower to penetrate into the raw meat and drive out the aroma of the meat and ingredients.
"I didn't expect there weren't many people." Liming's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it. When he banned the Fire Demon, he seemed to have expected that today would be deserted, so it wouldn't be considered deserted, right? After all, there are still a lot of people.
There were four or five people up there!
Kevin Kexi stood up and pulled out the Roast Channel inserted in the soil. The water scale armor quietly attached it. He moved a little closer and brought the Roast Channel closer to the bonfire. It seemed that he was the one who took the lead. The sea crab clan member used a giant
He picked up the tongs and moved silently closer to the bonfire.
"I brought wine, but the quality may not be very good. Can you please make do with it?" Liming took out jars of temporarily purchased wine from the storage box and distributed them in front of everyone.
"Captain, it seems like you have returned from a successful mission today, right? You should be more relaxed." Kevin Kirsch opened the wine jar and poured the sake on the grill, and the blue mist-like flames followed the leftover wine and climbed up the grill.
, Kevin Kexi held the cup in one hand and faced Li Ming who stood up in a hurry. Without any unnecessary criticism, he just introduced the wine into his stomach first. At this time, the roasted cup was already mostly cooked, and he bit down hard on the roasted cup.
.
"That's right, kid, didn't you say you have a lot of entertainment ideas? Why don't you talk about it?" Datou tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, imitating Kevin Kirsch and raising the wine jar.
"I'm better at telling jokes, but the jokes are all from my hometown. You may not laugh if I tell them. I thought it was too abrupt, but I let you down." Li Ming's voice was a little low, "Well, actually my hometown is
There is a saying that when people come to realize it, that’s enough. There’s no need to laugh and drink until dawn, right?”
"Yeah." Kevin Kexi nodded. The big-headed brother couldn't interrupt for a while, so he could only adapt to this weird situation and continue.
"Phew, you've had enough wine and food!" Brother Big Tou noticed that Kevin Kexi would turn his eyes towards him from time to time, and then a voice transmission came.
"You can drink for a while longer, don't run away so quickly!" Liming couldn't help but said.
"Tch, you kid isn't doing any entertainment, why should I keep you here? No one wants to talk to you alone!" Brother Big Head stood up and left holding the wine jar. The crab clan also left silently upon seeing this, and for a while
Only Kevin Kirsch, who still drinks at Dawn Monk, is left.
"Captain, do you still remember that before the fire demon was exterminated, Mr. Yadi insisted on exploring the realm of the fire demon despite everyone's objections? Mr. Yadi had proposed at that time that anyone who wanted to go could get a quota.
One that is enough to make the mercenaries' hearts flutter
Quota, go back, go back to the Sea Tribe." Kevin Kexi smiled and said, "Although there will be accommodations at that time, in the end they have to follow their true inner thoughts. For lifespan, compared with other races,
For the longer sea people, the deep sea always has
A thread is worth letting them go back to their hometown with the honor of having done something for the Sea Clan, and no longer have to bear the strange looks of other races. In fact, there is a little secret among the Sea Clan, a wise man
Hai Clan, he never has to worry about whether he will
There is food to eat, but no place to live. The ocean is huge, and it is home. Living in the deep sea, there are countless sea monsters leading the sea monsters to form a solidly protected home. It is the dream paradise of the sea people, and you can return to the ocean from the tide.
Anyone who goes can go to that paradise.”
"Actually, to tell you the truth, when I first joined the Sea Clan, I was in the Sea Clan's paradise." Liming joked, "Maybe I'm not a Sea Clan after all, so I don't understand it very well."
"That's not important," Kevin Kexi interrupted Li Ming's words and said, "What's important is that it is indeed a place worthy of every sea clan living in Tide Tide to miss. Some sea clans will leave Tide Tide and choose to become
Even ordinary members who are blessed by the ocean, there are also sea tribesmen who choose to devote their whole lives to the only thing of protecting the ocean. The reason why Tide Tide was established is to ensure this thing.
, we are the Sea Clan. When we choose to be here, we are not just the Sea Clan, we are Tide Mercenaries. Those of us who choose to stay here continue to be Tide Mercenaries instead of just being members of the Sea Clan.
The tribe has already anticipated that we will pay some price for this, and we can accept this price as a matter of course no matter what, so we are used to sacrifice."
"I know you are used to sacrifices, but I need to admit my mistake, because your sacrifices don't have to be so big. Because of me, the price you paid is a little higher." Liming's eyes stopped on the burning bonfire and looked at it.
That tower, "Who can accept unnecessary sacrifices for no reason? Who doesn't want to keep the things he cares about more in front of him? Habit is not the same as numbness."
"Captain Dawn, please forgive me, you are not as important as you think. Don't underestimate the determination of the Tide Tide mercenaries." Kevin Kirsch suddenly stood up, "Please don't hang your value on someone casually.
At the level of racial consciousness, Captain Luo Erse values the life of every team member. That is just him. Not every mercenary will be like Captain Luo Erse who has experienced so many sacrifices and still has the unrealistic dream of saving everyone.
The idea, even the mercenaries themselves
It is very cheap. No matter how much honor is added to a mercenary's title, it cannot change that a mercenary is just a cheap trading commodity that can lose its life at any time to achieve a certain purpose! As a mercenary of the tide, I am very lucky. Compared with
For those mercenaries who are just trading casually for some floating goals, our mercenaries with fixed sources and fixed uses seem to be more noble, at least, they will have more meaning. We don't need to pity this unnecessary emotion!"
Watching Kevin Kexi leave, Li Ming pulled out the almost-burnt grilled meat in front of him, brought it to his mouth and bit into it. The hot meat was exuding the aroma of spices, and it seemed a little bit spicy after this mouthful.
Teeth, Liming suddenly felt a flick on his forehead. Seeing the fifth person on the field, he was not the one who needed mercy. Although he didn't quite understand why the price of Tide Tide mercenaries was higher than others, at least he seemed to be in Tide Tide.
Isn’t it within the scope of the label “Tide Mercenary”?
