"Sir! There is a lot of noise coming from the Cursed Land. It seems that this time the tide of beasts is more intense than in previous years! The evil beasts have also become more excited and more difficult to deal with!"
In the abandoned castle not far from the entrance to the cursed land, the great goblin Nurvok, the leader of the "Lai Scar Mercenary Group" who is the temporary manager of the abandoned castle, holds a heavy broad-bladed sword in his hand.
, standing on the slightly damaged watchtower, his face surprisingly solemn.
"Do you think the terrible screams and vibrations last night were caused by the Riot Chamber of Commerce? Last time Mr. Brandy took their president to the abandoned castle, and I secretly observed that man
There doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.”
The great goblin Nulvok has been shouldering the important task of guarding the southern border of Orange in recent years! He also knows that because of his ability, the King of Orange will acquiesce to him becoming the actual master of the ruined castle.
Here he is just like the Tu emperor, he can make laws, collect taxes, and collect military service. If there wasn't a cursed place nearby, then everything would be perfect~!
But ever since that strange "Fist Chamber of Commerce" appeared out of thin air, no one from the indigenous people in the cursed land has come to seek refuge with him.
You must know that a large part of the members of the previous "Lai Scar Mercenary Group" were those desperate mud-legged people in the cursed land. They will become cannon fodder in the Nurwalk Mercenary Group and act as meat in major battles.
The role of shield.
But things seem to be going bad this year. These human shields are all hiding in that ghost place, and few of them appear in the ruined castle.
Even if they appear in the ruined castle, they are here to sell some strange goods. And judging from their red faces and the windy look on their faces, they seem to be living a pretty good life.
"Baggins...!" Nurvok said to another skinny goblin beside him: "Send the scolding monkey to the cursed place to observe it from a distance. If the danger is not great, let him go deeper. It is best to see
What’s the situation like now at the Riot Chamber of Commerce’s camp?”
"Yes! My lord~"
The skinny goblin bowed slightly and walked away backwards.
Nurvok, the hobgoblin, has many strange rules. Members of the mercenary group who often follow him all know that their leader does not like others to call him "leader", but prefers others to call him "sir".
He likes to wear human clothes that are exaggerated, brightly colored and have no practical use.
I like to watch musicals where I can fall asleep after just one sentence. I also pretend to recite a poem lyrically, as if I can become a noble by doing so.
But it is a pity that even though Nurvok has tried his best to protect the southern border for Orange over the years, he has prevented the evil beasts in the cursed land from escaping from the Forest of Despair.
However, Nurwok knew in his heart that the Emperor of Orange and the nobles did not take him seriously at all!
In their eyes, Nurvok will always be a mercenary, an ugly, lowly and untrustworthy hobgoblin!
Coupled with the rapid rise of the Riot Chamber of Commerce in recent times and the deliberate pandering of the Orange royal family, Nurvok felt resentful.
Why? Why have I saved the southern border for you for so many years and ensured that your Orange backyard will not catch fire, but I can't compare to a chamber of commerce and a businessman?
I want to see how they survive the Red Moon Beast Tide this time! I want to completely seal off the only way out of the cursed land, and only allow entry and no exit!
Since these people are so conceited and capable of fighting, let them fight inside and fight the evil beasts to their fullest!
The first night of the Red Moon Beast Tide has finally passed, and the corpses of evil beasts piled up outside the Riot Chamber of Commerce camp have turned into a small hill. This does not include those that were blown into pulp at the beginning.
The sun shines on the cursed land. Although the evil beasts are affected by the red moon, they will still pose a certain threat during the day, but their level of madness is still quite different from that at night.
Liu Xiao organized his employees to pay attention to sporadic attacks by evil beasts, while digging holes and burying the corpses of evil beasts that were piled up in the open space and emitting a disgusting smell.
If these disgusting things are allowed to accumulate at the entrance of the camp, as time goes by, a plague more terrifying than a tide of beasts will definitely brew!
"Master, you haven't had any rest all night. Leave this place to us. You can sleep for a while."
Rosa looked at Liu Xiao who was a little pale and said with heartache.
"Yes, boss, you are our backbone. You also need to deliver the oracle's instructions. You must take good care of your body."
Moses, the leader of the orc tribe, also appeared to persuade Liu Xiao to rest.
The reason why boss Liu Xiao didn't go to rest was because he saw the magic crystals sorted out from the corpses.
Although this kind of magic crystal is not big, it is crystal clear and pure in color. If you look inside a small crystal carefully, you can see that it seems to contain a starry sky! It is still slowly rotating with its unique laws.
~!
"Is this the little thing that the mercenaries and adventure teams are talking about?"
Rosa nodded and said softly: "Yes, Master, such a piece of magic crystal is enough for a member of the adventure team to retire directly, and it is enough for them to eat and drink without doing anything."
Liu Xiao played with a piece in his hand and said: "No wonder... So what is the use of this thing?"
Diana came over with a monocle in her eye socket. She was also very interested in magic crystals, and she had the most say among the people around Liu Xiao.
"Magic crystals are the best choice for making excellent magic props~! The one with the greatest demand for them is the Continental Magician Association. Usually a piece of magic crystal as big as yours, boss, can be embedded in a wand with the help of a dedicated person.
top.
Their attributes are different, but the only thing is that they can make the magician more powerful when casting spells, and even use transcendent spells~!
In the hands of some great craftsmen, magic crystals can also be turned into magic props that ordinary people can use, such as magic storage rings, magic amulets, large magic circles, etc. In short, they are very rare and very precious."
Liu Xiao suddenly raised his hand and asked: "Wait! Diana, what did you just say it could be made into? A magic storage item? Is it the kind of magic item that looks like a ring on the outside, but actually hides a large space inside?"
Diana nodded as expected.
"Yes, boss, that kind of magic props usually appear in the form of rings, necklaces, and brooches. After special enchantment transformation, an independent space can be derived inside.
Users can put items other than living creatures into the space of magic props, thereby reducing their own burden. However, the cost of such props is extremely high, and they cannot even be bought with money.
Therefore, the people who can own it are not very wealthy nobles, but only famous magicians on the mainland."
Liu Xiao didn't care about what she said next, but he snapped his fingers, his eyes flashed and said: "Diana! Please help me find someone who can make that kind of magic prop! I definitely have him.
There is no reason to refuse and you are willing to make a storage ring for me! All you need to do is contact me~!
Also, everyone listen up, all the magic crystals found when cleaning up the corpses of evil beasts must be handed over, and I will sacrifice them to the Creator of Hope~! I will accumulate contribution points for your future~! When the contribution points reach a certain
Employees with a certain amount can apply to exchange their contribution points for goods in the chamber of commerce.
These can be food, money, weapons, or various things provided by the Chamber of Commerce~! Kruk, you have the smartest mind, remember this and count the contribution value for everyone!"
The little goblin Kruk was puzzled at first when he heard Liu Xiao's words, but he soon figured out the key.
The boss wants to use contribution points in exchange for items to motivate employees! In other words, as long as you work hard and make a significant contribution to the chamber of commerce, you can use your contribution points to exchange for those miraculous items! This temptation is for employees
To be honest, I can't resist~! Even he is ready to make a move now.
