Wizard

Located in the northeastern part of Tahrir City, the Shadow Trade Union, adjacent to the commercial area and auction market, is an inverted "concave"-shaped headquarters building complex that looks grand and solemn.

The open-top sightseeing carriage galloped all the way, but when it approached the square in front of the Shadow Guild, it slowed down and finally stopped in an area that seemed to be dedicated to carriages.

In the extremely open square zhōngyāng, there is a knight statue carved out of a black boulder. He holds a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right. His body is slightly squatting and his expression is serious. The tight muscles show that he is about to launch an attack.

"Master Raymond, this is the statue of the creator of the Shadow Guild. It is said that it was his shape in the last mission." The red-haired old man who led Raymond through the square pointed to the statue to introduce Raymond. "He is also one of the pioneers of the northern ice field, a great human knight with knighthood!"

Leimen carrying a large suitcase did not speak, but he found that almost everyone passing by the statue would salute the statue, and the dark statue itself contained an inexplicable energy atmosphere, making this The stone statue with sharp edges and corners gave him a "round" feeling, which was very strange.

Raymond, who twisted his breath, followed the red-haired old man through the square and came to the headquarters of the Shadow Trade Union. The hundreds of steps were all paved with bright white jade, and he stepped on At the same time as the steps, he felt peeped.

Lei Meng, who had already tightened his breath, allowed this kind of peep to pass by his side, but at the moment he left, he moved his fingers lightly, incorporating his own divine power into it.

Climbing up the steps, when Raymond finally came to the door of the Shadow Guild, he understood the principle of this peeping.

The energy fluctuations are extremely weak, and they will immediately move away after passing by everyone. This automatically triggered exploration aura is not deliberately done by the cāo controller, in fact it is just a exploration talisman array.

It's just that this exploration rune array is so ingeniously set up that it is actually set under these stone steps, and it also has exploration restrictions, and it should only have an effect on wizards below the second level.

It was still early, but Raymond, who followed the red-haired old man into the Hall of the Shadow Guild, found that there were more people inside than the tavern just now.

Strong and rude half-orcs, serious-looking human knights in chain armor, hill dwarves with curly manes, burly bearmen...

However, despite the large number of people, there is no noise in the hall, and these guys who rely on their strength to survive have lined up in dozens of long queues, patiently waiting for their affairs.

"Master Raymond, all the adventurers in the hall came here to pick up the mission," the red-haired old man who led Raymond to the left staircase of the hall introduced in a low voice. "As these small teams that accept employment, they rely on this method to obtain corresponding tasks. After being supplied, they will quickly travel to the northern ice sheet..."

Hearing the introduction of the red-haired old man while on the march, he followed him to the third floor of the West Side Podium of the Shadow Guild, and found that the number of adventurers gathered in the Shadow Guild was a bit too large.

On the third floor of the main building, there are at least hundreds of adventurers who squat or stand talking in low voices, while there are more in the west podium. Raymond, who has not conducted detailed investigations, is estimated to be currently in the Shadow Guild The number of adventurers will not be less than one thousand.

Bringing Raymond to the west podium, the red-haired old man entered a long corridor, and at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, there was a strong bear man in heavy armor standing like a guard here.

Slowed down and came to the door, the strong bear man opened the door for the red-haired old man, but he laughed teasingly. "Ohhhhhhhh, old guy is here to pay compensation?"

The wide open door was only half opened, and the face of the red-haired old man who had apparently been ridiculed by the bear man more than once sighed and didn't reply. After the door was opened, he quickly walked in.

Leimen carrying a large suitcase and bowing his head, when he wanted to follow up, he found that the bear man had actually blocked the door and was looking at him with a puzzled look.

The red-haired old man who walked in the door stopped, and Raymond, who raised his head, smiled at the bear man, and slightly raised the suitcase in his hand.

But the bear man's huge head just wanted to get up, but Raymond had already stretched out his hand and pushed the bear man directly past him and walked in.

Some dazed strong bear people stared at Raymond's back and were even more confused, but Raymond, who had turned around the corner of the corridor with the red-haired old man, had disappeared from his vision.

There was a confused expression on his face, and the strong bearman who scratched his head couldn't understand why such a thin young wizard just gave him a side and let him go easily. Went in.

Moreover, this skinny young wizard, why the extra deep eyes make him still feel dizzy.

But after this bearman couldn’t figure it out, he didn’t want to. After closing the door tightly, he stood at the door, but after a while, he yawned and felt tired, but he could only wait for the guard to come over. .

However, the red-haired old man walking in the front was a little shocked. Raymond passed the gate so easily, which he had never expected before.

Raymond, who followed him, smiled and lowered his voice. "It's just a simple trick."

The red-haired old man in his heart shook his head with a wry smile. Only a wizard with a certain level of strength can use this small magic spell so smoothly. If he just cast the magic spell in front of the bear man, the result must have been This jǐng think bear man smashed into meatloaf!

The long narrow passage came to the end, and the half-covered door was gently pushed open by the red-haired old man.

The room covered with the luxurious purple carpet was a bit empty, but the person sitting on the recliner behind the desk immediately turned his head and relaxed after a quick glance.

The white wizard's robe, sunken eyes and blue face, and the tall nose bridge made the middle-aged wizard's expression a bit arrogant.

The red-haired old man who walked two steps to the desk was very courteous. "Master Monroe..."

But before the red-haired old man had finished speaking, the middle-aged wizard scolded. "Don't talk nonsense here, quickly sign the agreement to close the matter, this time the shadow loss is so great, don't think that just a few words of softening can pass!"

The red-haired old man standing there with his head down became stiff, and his body was a little bit sad.

Leimen, who was puzzled that the red-haired old man still had something to say, slowly walked over with a big suitcase, and when he came to the red-haired old man, he saw his expression very dazed.

Monroe yawned as if he was not awake, took a stack of papers on the table and flipped through it as if he was searching, and continued to yawn without raising his head. "Old guy, don't say I didn't give you face. If you don't sign the agreement today, even the three of you will be held accountable!"

Seeing that Raymond hadn't spoken, the red-haired old man with a flushed face started to argue. "Master Monroe, you said the day before yesterday that as long as you collect the ransom, you can release Samantha!"

"Oh? But I remember that you have been notified that you must sign the agreement before you can pay the ransom," Monroe sneered after raising his head and glancing at the red-haired old man. "If you don't agree, the three of you must pay the same compensation as Samantha!"

With a "pop", he smashed a document on the table, and Monroe, who was lying down again, glanced at the red-haired old man without speaking, as if he was too lazy to explain.

The red-haired old man who had suffered the humiliation flushed, and angrily picked up the agreement on the table and began to open it. After a while, his face turned pale.

Lei Meng, who looked at the contents of the agreement by his side, still had a calm face, but the red-haired old man's hands holding the agreement trembled in anger. "But you didn't tell me that the ransom must be sent last night!"

Rolling his eyes, the middle-aged wizard Monroe sneered. "I remember that xìng is not very good, maybe I forgot to notify, but now it must be implemented in accordance with this agreement!"
