When Meng Han left Stormwind City, there was already a somewhat luxurious-looking carriage among the group. It was true luxury, rather than a flashy display of wealth. This carriage was presented to Adrian City Lord not long ago.
The Viscount's car was customized by the Smith family, which happened to be cheaper than Meng Han's.
In addition, Meng Han's team has more than twenty unfamiliar mercenary guards. This is the most reputable mercenary group that the mercenary guild has found in Stormwind City. The two group leaders even have intermediate great swordsmen.
realm.
At the same time, Meng Han received news that in two days, if Meng Han and his party did not change their itinerary, a new member would be added to a city they passed through. He also joined the team to protect Meng Han. This new member
The member will be a magician. This magician was confirmed by Bruce using his authority in the guild and using the flying monsters within the guild to send messages, going back and forth overnight.
"Sir, as long as the price you pay is right, we can find higher-level manpower for you. Now that we are short of time, we can only reach this level." Bruce reported to Meng Han apologetically, showing no humility at all.
It's not like the president of the mercenary guild branch showing off his power in front of a group of mercenaries, but more like a personal follower of Meng Han: "Mr. Magician, you may need to talk to him personally. If you can show him
For the price, I believe he will be happy to protect your journey."
"Bruce, I still say the same thing, price doesn't matter, as long as he is worth the price." Meng Han seemed to be enjoying all this with peace of mind, not feeling strange at all: "As for the magician, I have something to tempt him."
Bruce has become more and more confused about the city lord of Huangsha City. I don't know if it is his own illusion, but in Bruce's subconscious, it seems that this newly promoted city lord has a little more majesty.
Or maybe it's official prestige. Bruce has never been an official, so he can't say for sure, but he has seen many nobles who can exude such majesty at this age and title. It seems that except for those big nobles who have been in high positions for many years,
Besides, Bruce hasn't seen it yet.
The more this happens, the more fearful Bruce becomes. Fortunately, this city lord is not the kind of person who wants to kill everyone. Although there were some minor conflicts because of Adrian in the past, after Adrian died,
Afterwards, these gaps seemed to have no reason to exist, especially after Bruce returned the quarry, and the two sides even quickly established a preliminary intention to cooperate.
This time, Meng Han confidently and boldly handed over his safety to the mercenaries introduced by the mercenary guild. It seemed that he was using his actions to show his sincerity. Naturally, facing such an olive branch, Bruce was eager to extend it.
The more people come, the better.
"If you are willing, Bruce, move this branch to Huangsha City!" Before Meng Han left, he once again threw Bruce a surprise: "If you can find enough good people, I believe there are many people who are willing to hire a group of experts.
Protect their wealth and goods. You can think about it and discuss it with your superiors. When I come back, I hope you can give me an answer."
"Of course, sir!" Bruce replied respectfully again, his heart already so excited that he could no longer suppress it. In Huangsha City, the newly minted wealthy people now spend at least one thousand gold coins per day just on security.
With such a big market, Bruce could only watch helplessly as Meng Han's tavern earned the middle fee, and he was really jealous.
"In addition, if there are any advanced fighting qi skills or magic books, please help me keep an eye out for them. I need a lot of them." He promised that it would not cost money, so Meng Han could explain this matter first and wait for the people from the mercenary guild.
Let’s talk about the price after we get it. Anyway, Meng Han is not short of gold coins now. Bruce must be able to figure this out. With more people helping him collect, the efficiency should be higher.
"The price is very high, sir!" Bruce did not agree immediately, but cautiously reminded Meng Han: "Advanced fighting qi skills are generally in the hands of various aristocratic families or big nobles. If you want to get them, you will almost have to fight with these aristocratic families.
It’s difficult for nobles to go against each other. Those who have practiced cultivation will definitely not leak it. It’s also difficult to think of a solution from this side.”
"Loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are not high enough, Bruce." Meng Han said to Bruce openly on his carriage: "If I give you 10,000 gold coins a year in exchange for you leaving the mercenary guild and following me, will you
Won’t you agree?”
"Yes, sir!" Bruce replied categorically. Although he knew that Meng Han was just assuming this, he might not be able to resist the temptation of 10,000 gold coins.
"Look, even you can be shaken. I don't believe there are many people who can still maintain their beliefs when facing sufficient costs." Meng Han smiled: "Of course, I don't rule out that there will be a large number of people who won't.
There are people who can be tempted, but, Bruce, you go to the people who might be tempted."
"I understand, sir." Bruce agreed, and then gave Meng Han a suggestion: "If you really need it, sir, you can go to the largest auction house in the principality after you get to the capital. Maybe you will have something unexpected.
It’s a surprise. It’s much safer than taking it away from someone.”
Meng Han looked straight at Bruce, as if to see clearly why he said that. In the end, Meng Han nodded: "Thank you, Bruce."
"You're welcome, sir!" Bruce had a smile on his face. He established a cooperative relationship with Meng Han. Now it seems that it is much more pleasant than the cooperation with Adrian. At least, the guild has already gained benefits before much cooperation has begun.
The intermediate fee of almost fifty gold coins was paid, and the quarry only suffered losses from the beginning to the end, and now it has been filled in a lot.
Magicians rarely appear alone in mercenary guilds, but it is not absolutely impossible. Many magicians will choose this method when training, which can not only earn gold coins, but also broaden their horizons, and sometimes even
You can also gain combat experience and achieve multiple goals with one stone.
The magician that Meng Han met was such a magician who came out to practice. It was the same as the magician Wright collected when he was collecting magic materials, but it was just in a different way. The same thing is that for the little boy Meng Han,
The young Viscount City Lord, as magicians, all have a heartfelt contempt for him.
"Hello, respected magician, I am Antonio, a magic apprentice." In front of the magician, Meng Han did not show off his aristocratic identity, but used his identity as a magic apprentice to communicate. I believe this is better than the aristocrat.
Identities are easier to work with.
Sure enough, when he heard about Meng Han's identity as a magic apprentice, the magician's expression softened significantly, and he even extended his hand: "Hello, sir, I am Matthew, a senior magician."
After introducing himself, without waiting for Meng Han to say anything else, Matthew had already spoken directly: "This time I plan to go to the Rock Castle, the capital of your principality, just to drop by with you. Don't think that I am waiting for you because of your title.
Don’t insult me with gold coins either!”
"Of course, Mr. Matthew." Meng Han was not surprised at all by Matthew's rude remarks. In his mind, if Antonio succeeded in the magic trial, those imaginations would be even more extreme than this.
, let alone a small viscount, even a noble with a higher title, he could ignore it. However, Meng Han heard something from Matthew's words and asked: "Mr. Matthew is not from our principality.
?”
"I just happened to come here to practice." Matthew finally answered Meng Han out of courtesy to a magic apprentice.
After confirming that Matthew was not from the principality, Meng Han's heart suddenly moved, and his face was immediately filled with a smile: "I know that Mr. Matthew definitely did not accept this employment because of the gold coins. I wonder if you are interested in this?
"As he said that, he turned around and motioned to Demi behind him to get some magic scroll bases that he had made in his spare time.
These were all made by Meng Han on the road, and they were all Level 2. Meng Han had not yet started making the Level 3 scrolls, but because his magic power and spiritual power had increased, these Level 2 bases seemed to be getting better and better.
Easy. It was originally intended for the Magic Academy, but now I met a magician from another principality, which just added a competitor to the Magic Academy.
In the last incident of pressure from the Lord of Stormwind City, the Magic Academy remained silent. Meng Han was deeply dissatisfied with this. However, at that time, he had no way to contact more magicians, so the base surface of the scroll could only be sold to magicians.
Academy. Now with this Matthew, there is naturally one more potential buyer. Meng Han now certainly knows what kind of constraints one more competitor can put on the Magic Academy.
Of course, this is also an attitude of Meng Han indirectly expressing his dissatisfaction. If the Magic Academy continues the last practice, Meng Han does not mind selling the scroll base to other principalities. Anyway, in Meng Han's mind, in this world,
I have never had a sense of belonging to a country.
Sure enough, after seeing the base of the scroll that Meng Han took out, Magician Matthew showed a puzzled look on his face: "What is this?" He said, but reached out and took the scroll. With his magic level
, he immediately sensed the magic fluctuations on it, but the fluctuations were not enough to reach the level of a formal magic scroll. Since Meng Han took it out seriously, it must not be something to fool people.
"I call this the base of the magic scroll." Meng Han explained with a smile. Then he explained the function of the base. Listening to Meng Han's explanation, he opened the base of the scroll and looked at the neat and regular magic six-pointed star on it.
Magician Matthew's eyes immediately glowed.
"Can I try?" After listening carefully to Meng Han's statement, Matthew immediately made this request, with an urgent look on his face. At first glance, he was a person who was not good at hiding his thoughts. He was indeed a magician, and
People like Meng Han who have been trained in Shanghai politics are completely different.
"Of course, Mr. Matthew." Meng Han didn't seem anxious at all, giving Matthew full understanding: "Our schedule is not urgent. But..."
"But what?" Matthew was now much more impatient than Meng Han, for fear that Meng Han would say something he didn't agree with.
"While you are testing the power of this magic scroll, can you let me watch?" Meng Han still maintained that respectful smile and said to Matthew as if discussing a matter.
"Is this? What a pity?" As a senior magician, Matthew naturally knew the value of a magic scroll. He originally wanted to test the success rate of making a scroll, but did not want to waste a second-level magic scroll. Meng Han
The request made him very embarrassed.
"Mr. Matthew, how many gold coins are there for the finished scroll? I bought it." Meng Han's smile never changed, but when he said this, Matthew didn't feel at all that he was insulting himself with gold coins.
For such a nerdy and arrogant magician, Meng Han now has countless ways to make him count the money for him even if he is sold by him.
"Okay! I also want to see if the power of this scroll will be improved after it is made." Matthew agreed to Meng Han because he was dressed as a magic apprentice and had a magic wand in his hand.
Requirement. Of course, this is what he thinks.
The next thing is very simple. Making a second-level magic scroll is not difficult for a senior magician as long as he studies it seriously. It is just a matter of success rate. With the help of Meng Han's scroll base
Now, this problem of success rate can be ignored. Soon, a second-level water magic Thunderbolt Ice Scroll was successfully completed.
"This, so fast?" Even Matthew didn't expect that the process of making the scroll was so smooth. He had never done it before, but it had never been so easy. It seemed that the magic power distribution had been limited to where it should be.
, as long as you describe it yourself, it will be very magical.
The surprise had just begun, and it was far from over. Soon, they found an empty and remote place and began to test the power of the magic scroll. Anyway, Meng Han had paid for the scroll, and Magician Matthew didn't mind using Meng Han's
Something to test your results.
Boom, a huge noise appeared on the hilltop not far away. After the loud explosion, a burst of cold air rushed towards the face. When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone discovered that the hilltop had been covered by a sheet of ice, showing a blue glow.
Ying color.
"This, this is a second-level magic?" Matthew looked at the scene in front of him and was dumbfounded. How powerful the second-level magic Thunderbolt Ice is, he naturally knew very well that everything in front of him had completely overturned the magic knowledge he had learned.
.
It can also improve the magic level. Meng Han nodded secretly in his heart. In this way, there are still many things to discuss with the Magic Academy.
