Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 490 Newcomers to the Demon Association

"From the moment you sign the contract, you are a member of the Demon Association. Now your first lesson is to walk into the Demon Valley alive." The demon warlock in charge of recruiting apprentices is a gloomy middle-aged man who is well-dressed. Wearing a dark green robe, he carefully rolled up the long scroll with the names and fingerprints of all the newcomers with his well-maintained hands. After putting it away close to his body, he said coldly to the hundreds of newcomers with eyes of expectation and fear in front of him.

The headquarters of the Demon Association is not in the Fog City, because no city lord dares to let a group of demon warlocks stay in his city. If he sees a group of demons dancing outside that day, it is most likely not that he has become violent, but that the demon warlocks have finally calmed down. Unable to control his nature, he resorted to the old trick of summoning demons through blood sacrifices.

This kind of behavior is no different from lying on a powder keg and smoking. Therefore, the headquarters of the Devil Association is located in Devil Valley, which is not far from the fog. It is also an important smuggling route, because no one who is not long-sighted will come. The Demon Warlock's headquarters came to search for contraband.

But this also means that there will not be any legal or moral constraints and protections, so arriving alive is only the first lesson that newcomers need to face. It is not the end, but the beginning.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that the Demon Association has recruited apprentices, so these newcomers are somewhat mentally prepared, so even if they are frightened, they know how to keep their mouths shut, and no one is stupid enough to want to quit now.

Many idiots have done this before, but from the moment they signed the contract, it was no longer their turn to decide their fate, so you can imagine the fate of those idiots.

"Very good, I like the look in your eyes now. Work hard to live. Only those who reach the Demon Valley alive are qualified to perform the demon blood ritual and become a true demon apprentice." The demon warlock nodded to the newcomer in front of him, turned around and summoned The winged demon flew away.

The apprentices, who seemed to have been abandoned, did not waste time. They began to walk out of the city in twos and threes. They needed to pass through the fog and walk dozens of miles to Devil's Valley in the shortest possible time. This was not an easy task. Even if they grew up here, identifying the direction in the fog in the wild is still a matter of luck, not to mention that there are not only bandits outside the city, but also the elusive fog wolf.

The bandits may not easily provoke them for Devil's Valley's sake, but Mist Wolf will not miss their delicious meals, so they must arrive before dark and they completely lose sight, so there is no time to waste.

Fortunately, even the poorest newcomers still have a hatchet prepared for them at home. Many newcomers not only have relatively sophisticated equipment, but also have received at least two or three years of combat training, so these newcomers are not without the ability to fight back. force.

Jinx is now one of them, but apart from a short sword and a hand crossbow, she does not carry any other weapons or armor, only a backpack of herbs and potions prepared by her mother.

This weak and helpless appearance did not make Jinx ostracized or even bullied. Instead, she quickly gathered several newcomers with good equipment around her to form an independent team and exclude others from joining.

The reason is very simple. A pharmacist who knows how to treat will be like adding more than one layer of insurance to their lives for the rest of the journey or for a long period of time. Therefore, to protect her as much as possible is to save your own life. , so some people spontaneously gathered around her.

Jinx wisely did not refuse the protection of these people. In fact, this was the persona her well-intentioned father specially created for her.

As a smuggler, Jinx's father was very aware of the dangers of organizations like the Devil's Association, but he was unable to prevent his daughter from joining. In order to save his daughter's life, he not only used a magic prop that he regarded as his trump card to hide in her body Well, we even created a character specifically for her.

Acting fiercely, acting smart, and acting loyal will not increase the chance of survival, because in the eyes of the top management, they are just tools, and who cares what the tools think.

There is no cooperative relationship between newcomers and apprentices. The fierce competition makes them do whatever they can, so harmless but useful is the best way.

A pharmacist apprentice can provide simple treatment and help without causing more harm. It is undoubtedly safe and will not become a special target. However, all the ideas need to be completed by Jinx herself. This is It’s very challenging.Fortunately, Jinx was not raised as a little white flower. In fact, her father did not deliberately hide his profession or avoid the dark side of the world in front of her. Her mother also personally taught her how to grow medicinal herbs. and preparing medicines, and these will become the capital for her survival.

At this time, the city gate on the south side of the foggy city was wide open. Under the cold eyes of the guards, hundreds of newcomers from the Demon Association walked into the fog together.

It is already rainy in the south, and the canyons and water flows extending in all directions in the Baichuan Valley inevitably bring more water vapor. The fog that condenses into the low-lying areas is very thick. Once you walk in, your whole body will become wet.

Fortunately, it was daytime at this time. Under the refraction of the sun, we could barely see clearly within a few dozen meters. This was considered good weather for the foggy city. After all, there were only a handful of days when we could see the sun throughout the year, so we couldn't ask for it. too much.

"Now that we are all in the same team, let me introduce you all. I will go first." Not far after Jinx's team walked out of the city gate, the tallest and strongest newcomer among them said.

"Hadir, 15 years old, comes from a knight family. He has received seven years of knight training and is already an apprentice knight."

The Demon Association accepts newcomers between the ages of ten and fifteen. It can be said that Hadilka is on the upper age limit. Coupled with his family background and good training, he has stronger physical fitness and strength than ordinary adults. With his body With his iron-trimmed leather armor, long sword and buckler, he immediately gained the right to speak in the squad.

The second strongest bald boy spoke next, and the person next to him opened his mouth, but finally acquiesced.

"You can call me Hammer. I am 15 years old and the son of a blacksmith." Hammer has rough skin and his hands are covered with calluses and burns, but he is strong. He is holding a one-handed hammer in his hand and a bag on the other hand. Iron Wood Shield is obviously not bad in strength, at least not bad among newcomers.

Next are the 14-year-old hunter brothers, Mist Wolf and Mist Leopard, who hold hunting bows and know how to hunt and trap in the wild.

These people were actually carefully selected by Hadir. First of all, everyone's background was inferior to him. The proof was that they didn't even have serious names. Therefore, with his status as a knight family, he could easily gain the right to speak and control this temporary team. command power, and secondly, the strength is not bad.

Don't look at Iron Hammer's inability to use his brain. Such people dare to fight and fight hard. They are really brave to take on troubles and are easily subdued. Because the highest-status person the blacksmith can come into contact with is a knight. He must have dreamed of becoming a knight since he was a child. Attendant, this can be seen from the change in the other party's attitude when he introduces his identity.

Although the hunter brothers are smarter and have the cunningness of hunters, the two of them from humble backgrounds tend to be submissive and submissive when facing people of high status. This is because they are not used to the change of status.

In fact, from the moment they signed the contract and became new members of the Demon Association, regardless of whether they were the sons of nobles or commoners, they were all on the same starting line.

With these three people, plus a pharmacist, it would not be a shame to register as an adventurer team.
