Chapter 32 Paladin (Part 1)

When Avis walked out of the lord's mansion, his perfect mouth couldn't help but smile.

Not only did he receive a bonus of 500 gold coins, he also opened two new dungeons. One is the Ancient Temple and the other is the underground mine. The Ancient Temple is a level 20 dungeon and cannot be brushed for the time being, but the underground mine is a dungeon that is very suitable for Ivis.

Of course, if you want to brush the underground mine, Ivis now has a knight to be a meat shield. After all, if the monsters in the underground mine come, they will come in waves. If there is no meat shield, Ivis and others will probably fall into a passive state.

Moreover, when eating just now, the city lord also said that the two places were not in a hurry, so Ivis decided to find a stronger knight to join his team first. After thinking for a long time, Ivis decided to go to the tavern to ask about people. His charm is very high, so it is very likely that some plots can be triggered and some teammates can be recruited.

Of course, it is impossible today. After walking out of the city lord's mansion, it was already dark. If you want to find the knight, you don't have time to say anything to him. It's better to say it tomorrow. Today Ives just killed an ogre and was injured. He really couldn't be more energetic and talked to others.

When Avis and others returned to the hotel, they found that Kadir and Sak were not sleeping, and they were eating in the lobby. The first floor of the hotel here was a restaurant, but the meal time had passed, so there were not many people here. Sak was drinking a glass of wine in his hand, while Kadir was leaning against the position, flipping a book in his hand.

Avis walked over and said curiously: "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Waiting for you." After Sack saw Avis, he let out a long sigh. Then he put the wine glass on the table: "Hey, how about it, when can we set up a mercenary group?" It seemed that he cared about this matter very much. Avis pondered for a moment, and then recalled his communication with the city lord.

"Well...If we can solve the incident of death in underground mines and remove the 'Green Heart' inside the ancient temple, we can set up a mercenary group."

Ivis said this. At this moment, Kadir closed the book in his hand with a "splash". He picked up a glass of fruit wine placed in front of him, and then tasted it lightly: "Why didn't you pay 1,000 gold coins?"

"To be honest, I can't get 1,000 gold coins." Avis said seriously. He was telling the truth. As long as he took out the things he exchanged for the achievement points and sold it, 1,000 gold coins would be too easy. But Avis would not do this.

"First of all, a mercenary group formed with 1,000 gold coins can only be regarded as the lowest armed forces, with a maximum number of 50 people." Avis said, "And the resident is released by the official. If you are not lucky or have a bad relationship with the official, it is easy to be assigned to a very bad resident."

"But if we were the mercenary group appointed by the city lord himself." Avis had already pulled open the chair and sat down. "Then the situation was a little different. We can be regarded as part of the 'underground armed forces' affiliated to the city lord, so we can directly recruit some non-mercenaries, slaves and even soldiers in the city to join our team."

"Although there is no station, as long as we have enough money or buy a piece of land in other ways, then this station is ours. It is definitely much better than what the official gives."

Sak smiled bitterly and touched his head. The lively half-elf seemed to be helpless at this time: "That... I really don't understand these things very much."

A glimmer flashed in Kadir's eyes: "In other words, if we are the mercenary group directly appointed by the city lord, then we can directly recruit some real elites, right?"

For ordinary mercenary groups, there are extremely limited people they can recruit. Only those mercenaries who have no belongings for the time being can recruit. But those good seedlings have long been recruited by those large mercenary groups.

But if it is a mercenary group directly appointed by the city lord, you can even go to the military camp and recruit a group of soldiers! Of course, this requires extremely high cost and requires the recognition of the city lord. But there is another type, that is slaves. There are also powerful existences among slaves. If some slaves can be recruited, although the degree of loyalty may not be high, it is also a way to enhance oneself.

"Well, I probably won't recruit many slaves." As if I felt what Kadir was thinking, Avis interrupted his contemplation directly. After that, he stretched and said, "I'm very tired and I'm going to rest... You guys will take it at your own expense." After that, the elf boy stepped on the wooden floor and walked up the stairs.

Kadir nodded, and he stood up, saying in his unique low voice: "I already understand, so I'll go to rest too." After that, the warlock, wrapped in black cloth, picked up the book on the table and walked towards his room.

Sack drank the wine in his hand in one sip, and then looked at Rebecca who was also about to leave: "By the way, you don't seem to have eaten yet?"

"We have used it in the City Lord's Mansion." Rebecca said with a slight smile.

...

Fittclan also has an alias, "City of Mercenaries". Its city has many mercenaries, and there are as many as 12 famous mercenary groups alone. It can be said that Fittclan is a city that emerged with the prosperous mercenary system.

On this refreshing morning, Avis was talking to a swordsman Gao in a tavern. The swordsman took a sip of the wine that Avis invited to drink, and then said in a slight resentment: "... So, I stabbed a sword directly at that time! There was a blood mark on the half-giant's body immediately!"

"The height of the half giant is usually 5 meters. Did you stab his thigh?" Avis said. The swordsman nodded: "Yes! It's its thigh!"

"Hahaha, Old Jack, you're bragging again." A drinker laughed aside. The swordsman glared back: "How could I brag? I used to be a formal professional, so it's normal to be able to fight that half giant?"

"We have never seen you take action before," said the drunkard. The swordsman's face showed a hint of resentment. "It was because I fought with that half giant that I was branded with a lifelong disability and could not use force..."

Then he turned his head and glanced at Ives: "So, to prove that what I said is true and to help me avenge me, can I ask you to do something?"

Avis smiled in his heart: The plot has been triggered. It seems that his charm is really easy to trigger these hidden tasks.

Avis' expression was quite serious. He glanced at the swordsman and nodded: "I'm happy to serve."

"Here... to the west, there is a high ground where a giant is perched. Can you help me kill it and come back with its long sword?"

Avis pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I'm happy to serve." After hearing this, the swordsman took a sip of the wine that Avis invited with satisfaction. Avis also obtained a new task.

"But we still lack a Knight to be our teammate. Do you have any recommendations?" Avis also took a sip of the rye wine placed in front of him, and the sweet smell of wine flowed into Avis's dining cavity.

"Um... a knight..." the swordsman pondered.

...

Sack and the other two walked behind Ivis. They just went to collect information separately, and now it was time to gather their respective information.

"Sorry, I didn't ask anything." The young priest girl said with some distress, "I'm not very good at dealing with this scene.

"Looking at my appearance, you should understand that I didn't ask anything - they seemed to be afraid of me." The warlock's low voice came. Avis shook his head speechlessly, wrapping himself in a black robe. How could they not be afraid of you?

However, half-elf Sak frowned slightly: "I asked about the residence of a retired knight - but that knight is over 50 years old, so he may not need him..."

Avis nodded, and then said, "It seems that I was the only one who asked for a more useful information."

As Ives said, he walked towards the temple here: "Paladin Helois seems to have something to do, so we are going to find her now."

"Ah?" Rebecca said hesitantly: "But, the temple will not let a paladin join our team, right?"

"She is not the paladin of the temple." Avis stepped on the bluestone ground, and turned around and explained with a smile: "She can only be regarded as a wandering paladin. After coming to this city, she only stayed temporarily. So she has not much relationship with the temple."

"Oh..." Rebecca nodded with a sudden realization.

Sak and Kadir also followed Avis. Avis and others did not take much time to come to the front of the temple. There were not many people here. After all, the Karasol continent is a continent with lack of faith, and there were not many people who believed in God, which also led to the fact that the temple business was always deserted. Except for some injured people who needed treatment, they generally had not many believers.

Therefore, when Avis and others came over, there were really no people in this glory temple, and it was not wrong to describe it as "the door is abominable".
