Chapter 35: Real Gold at the Bottom of the Waves, Secrets of the Ring
"No, we have to find Luther right away and let him know this conclusion. We should report it there as soon as possible and take precautions." Yalich stopped in a hurry and told the two of them to wait for the next three people.
At the meeting point, we ran to find Luther.
As soon as they ran to the tent where they were resting, they saw Slang looking around. Seeing Yalic running over, he rushed to meet him. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Yalic waving his hand.
"Let me say first, I have something very important to tell Mr. Luther, please help me find it quickly," Yalich said hurriedly.
Just as Silang was about to speak, Yaliqi said again: "By the way, I saw that you have so many friends, so I called them over to help."
"Why are you anxious? Lord Luther has come back. I told him that you were looking for him before, and he asked me to give this thing to you."
As he spoke, Silang handed Yaliqi a dark sign, the size of a palm, with an indescribable texture, and a very gorgeous-looking crown carved on it. Yaliqi asked in confusion: "What do you mean?
What is this?"
"This is the token of the Lord's Palace of Conn City. It is also the symbol of the Lord's family. Don't conflict with people with such a mark. Lord Luther said that I will give it to you when I see you. If there is anything, I will go directly to you.
The city lord's palace in Conn City is looking for him. By the way, this thing can also be used as a pass, so you don't have to pay gold coins to pass the city gate." Silang explained.
"Hmm? City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yes, you don't know where it is. You will know it as soon as you go into the city and ask. I have something else to do. I will come back to you later." After saying this, Si Lang walked away in a hurry.
"What are you doing, Lord Luther, in the city lord's mansion? No matter, let's find him first." Yalic put away the dark sign and rushed straight to the city gate.
Yaliqi naturally knows where the city lord's palace is. I used to envy it. I still have a long way to go before I can have such great power. This is the first time I have approached there. I have finally made progress. Yaliqi looked at it.
The majestic city lord's mansion had no choice but to comfort itself.
"Stop!" Yalic was shouted at by the guard patrolling in front of the door.
After Yalic showed the sign, he walked straight into the gate of the city lord's mansion under the strange eyes of the guard.
The already majestic City Lord's Mansion from the outside gives people a quiet and peaceful feeling when walking inside. There are rockeries and small lakes all around, and there are many unknown and beautiful flowers blooming in the water. If you look carefully, you can still find some.
Colorful fish are swimming inside. This is just the scenery behind the door. The path going in is mixed in with this scenery. The winding path is really a kind of enjoyment. Yaliqi almost forgot what he came here for.
What to do.
After walking through here, someone who looked like an attendant came over and asked, "Who are you? What do you want here?"
Being able to be let in by the guards outside, he naturally holds the token of the city lord's palace. The attendants dare not neglect him and want to please Yaliqi.
"I'm looking for Vice President Luther, who is from the Mercenary Guild."
"Mercenary Guild? Where is your token?" After listening to the tone and content of Yalic's words, the attendant concluded that this was just an ordinary visitor, and not a visitor to the Lord of the City, so his tone became very serious.
You're welcome.
Yalich took out the token and handed it to the attendant. After taking it, the man turned it over twice in his hand, gave it back to Yalich, and said: "It's just a black sign, follow me." Then.
He swaggered towards another path.
This familiar and annoying situation made Yaliqi feel very unhappy. If he was outside, he would have to take care of him. Following the man, Yaliqi came to a separate small courtyard. After entering, the man directly
Yalich was introduced into the living room in the back, where two people were talking, one of whom was Luther.
The other person with Luther was a very ordinary middle-aged man. When he saw Yalich coming, he also smiled at him and was very kind. Yalich was originally very anxious and looked at the middle-aged man's face.
After smiling, a feeling of calm immediately arose in my heart, as if nothing mattered.
"Yaliqi, what do you want from me?" Luther asked.
"Oh, by the way." Yaliqi looked back and found that the attendant who brought him here had left, so he said, "Yes, there is something very important."
Then, Yalich told the story of how he went to the magic forest, as well as the speculations he, Sonny, and Kerry had made.
Luther winked at the middle-aged man and said to Yalic: "Then what do you think we should do now?"
Yalich said without hesitation: "I think we should first confirm the accuracy of this news. If it is true, we should look for opportunities to retreat to the city and rely on the city wall for defense."
"What about the great era of mercenaries that Luther told you before? Shouldn't we vigorously develop it? How can we develop it if we withdraw into the city?" At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly interjected.
"Well... I think we should preserve our strength first, and then find ways to develop it." Yalich turned to look at the man and asked Luther with a questioning look.
"Haha, you don't need to see anyone outside, this is the president of our mercenary guild, Lord Nata." Luther said with a smile.
"Ah!" Yaliqi quickly turned around and saluted Nata to show his respect, and explained: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were here. What I just said was actually speculated by my friends and I, and it is not accurate.
."
Nata waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, your analysis is very accurate. This matter does exist, and it is more complicated than you think." After saying this, he motioned to Luther to let him talk, so Luther said
He told Yalic about the polar murderous clan, and he was dumbfounded.
"Then why do we put so much power outside the city? Aren't we going to suffer a lot of damage?" Yalich asked in confusion.
"Damage? Haha. What kind of damage will we suffer? Our strength is all in Xius City." Nata said.
"Ah!" Yaliqi suddenly realized that it turned out that the main strength of the mercenary guild was the fifty-eight large mercenary groups. But thinking of this, some feelings of frustration came to his heart. It turned out that these seemingly powerful mercenary groups of his own
Mercenaries are just cannon fodder.
Luther may have seen something and said: "The real era of mercenaries is not only about quantitative development, but more importantly about quality. The difference between people who have experienced real fighting and ordinary warriors is very big. We need
What we need are soldiers who know how to fight, not a bunch of guys who just complete tasks step by step and get paid."
"That's very good. We just want soldiers who can fight and fight. In addition to the army that knows how to unite and fight, the mercenary group also has many warriors with superb skills. This time we have a total of 130,000 mercenaries.
, there are 70,000 people who have reached the level of generals, magicians or higher. How big a circle do you think this is? After going through this war, even if only half, even a little less, these people will join our mercenaries.
Within the corps, our strength can immediately rise to a new level." At this time, Nata changed his peaceful demeanor and suddenly became extremely excited.
After thinking about it, Yalic was immediately shocked by the answer he got. Yes, hundreds of thousands of elite mercenary groups and countless combat masters among them, plus so many powerful people who have experienced the battlefield,
In other words, the combat troops owned by the mercenary guild may become a killing force with one senior combat member for every five people.
Yaliqi was stunned. He could not imagine what such a powerful force could do on the mainland, but occupying a main city of Xius was definitely more than enough.
Yaliqi stood there in shock, his body feeling a little hot, and he opened his collar a little, ready to take a deep breath to calm down the shocking information.
At this moment, Nata's gaze towards Yalic suddenly changed and became very sharp, staring closely at Yalic's chest.
Yaliqi naturally felt it, and wanted to pull up his collar, but was surrounded by a powerful aura coming from Nata's body. It was a kind of aura of suppression, just like an animal encountering a natural enemy.
Usually, you will naturally know that you are no match for the opponent, so you can't even move.
"Where did you get that ring?" Nata suddenly asked in surprise.
Yaliqi was sweating profusely, his teeth were chattering, and he said: "This. This. This ring... ring." When Nata saw Yaliqi's condition, he quickly put away the aura he was emitting, and Yaliqi suddenly felt
His whole body felt light, and he took a breath and said, "This ring was given to me by Grandma Klee."
"Klee?" Nata asked in confusion.
"Grandma Klee is an old lady in the village where I live, and she loves me very much." Yalich told Nata a little about Grandma Klee. He only talked about Grandma Klee's commission and how he found Ross on the island.
He had died and when he returned to the village and found that Grandma Klee had also passed away, other experiences and his own secrets would naturally not be told.
"Alas! So that's how it is." Nata sighed.
"Does this ring have a story?" Luther asked.
Yaliqi was also full of curiosity about this ring. He never knew what the ring was used for, so he was very happy to be a listener.
"Naturally, I can't remember the specific time. At that time, a cultivation genius appeared on the mainland. He actually reached the strength of a high-level martial saint at the age of less than forty years old. After I heard about it, I wanted to do it very much.
This person was taken under his command, mentioned but not seen. Later, it was reported that he happened to help the Space Demon Saint Victor to kill a giant dragon. Victor needed the dragon's body for magic research, so he
I made a space ring out of dragon bone and metal, and gave it to Ross along with the dragon's treasure. After that, I rarely heard from him. I thought he was in seclusion, but unexpectedly... I just watched that
After testing it, I felt the breath of the dragon contained in it, and I thought of this. It’s really a pity.” Nata explained for a long time, but his eyes still did not leave the ring.
