The west gate of the Grand Institute of Natural Sciences is a carriage and horse dealership.
As a gathering place for noble scholars of the Principality of Grande, the academy has not only limited the travel in horse-drawn carriages with enough gold coins, but has also developed low-level Warcraft beast carriages, which are faster.
Even in order to meet the special needs of high-consumer scholars, large commercial firms have developed long-distance transportation services for flying magic beasts and balloon airships. However, the corresponding service fees are not affordable by ordinary people.
Lei Luo looked up at the balloon airship that was gradually flying away in the sky, imagining the beautiful scenery of the sky overlooking the earth, longing in his heart, and came to a business firm called 'Tells' Trip'.
This is a thin boy in his twenties, wearing a light gray burlap shirt.
Bobby, who is good at observing words and expressions, saw the magician in black robe slowly stop in front of him, and immediately knew that the business was coming, so he hurriedly put down the feed in his hand, and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"My dear mage, where are you going?"
Lei Luo looked at the diligent boy who was about his own age in front of him. A few months ago, he prayed for the pastor's mercy on the steps of the Onyx Lake Church.
"Knowledge alters your fate."
Inadvertently, Lei Luo became more determined in his heart to seek knowledge, and calmly said to him, "I'm going to the Mercenary Association."
Generally speaking, scholars will not discuss academic issues in front of believers, which adds to the mystery of magicians in people's eyes, just like Lei Luo in Bobby's eyes at this time, young, noble, and mysterious.
"okay!"
In response, Bobby said: "When you come to the Mercenary Association, we have two prices here, two silver coins and three silver coins. It's so fast that it only takes an hourglass time, and it's so slow that it takes about an hourglass time. You see Which do you need?"
Hearing the price, Lei Luo's heart was bleeding.
Pretending to be casual, Lei Luo said calmly: "It's about an hourglass and a half, come out and relax."
Is a poor magician, this time there is no oil and water.
Bobby sighed from the bottom of his heart, but he said enthusiastically on his face: "Well, please wait a moment, I will go to the carriage and take you to the Mercenary Association."
After a while.
Lei Luo got into the carriage, and under Bobby's skillful driving, he drove along the bluestone road towards the St. Granburg Mercenary Association.
inside the car.
Lei Luo took out the books borrowed from the library. In the library of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, because of the relationship of the church, there are only a few books about the universe and celestial bodies, and they are all wild conjectures of low-level scholars, similar to academic papers. form.
Even so, Lei Luo still took it seriously, and started his own enlightenment cognition of cosmic astronomy.
About an hour and a half later, Bobby's voice came from outside the car.
"Dear Mister Magician, the Mercenary Association is here!"
There was a lot of people outside, Lei Luo adjusted his appearance, stepped out of the carriage, and looked at the majestic red building in the distance, like a sleeping ancient behemoth, with a ferocious aura rushing towards him.
Roar!
There is an endless stream of mercenaries coming and going, with the breath of iron and blood, adventure and wealth, astonishingly large monster mounts rumbling past, roaring one after another, and the mercenaries coming and going look sideways, vowing that their own mercenary group will also grow stronger in the future. Then he walked away amidst the heroic chatter and laughter, bragging about a certain thrilling adventure experience he once had.
"Sir, I would like to trouble you to go over by yourself. The aura of those magical beasts is too strong for the carriage to pass."
Lei Luo came back to his senses, glanced at the nervous horse, nodded to Bobby, took out two silver coins and passed them over, then jumped off the carriage and walked towards the hall of the Mercenary Association.
"Sure enough, there is no oil and water."
Bobby weighed the silver coins, but he didn't get the tip he expected, shook his head, and drove the carriage away.
Lei Luo looked left and right, observing the mercenaries standing in front of the hall of the Mercenary Association.
There were several regular mercenary regiments standing outside, as if they were waiting for the regiment leader who entered the hall to receive the task, and whispered to each other.
In contrast, a large number of lone mercenaries are much more lazy, often sitting casually on the spot, pillowing their weapons, talking and laughing with people they know well.
There will be a few elves, half-elves, and dwarves in the crowd.
Lei Luoduo took a few glances at the bearded dwarf not far away, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, he is really an unbelievably strong guy!
Although this guy is only about one meter tall, he is surprisingly strong. His legs are short, and his arms are almost thicker than his thighs. He leans against the thighs of a mammoth, and he doesn't worry about the three or four meter tall mammoth. Be careful stepping on yourself, and there are two big rough axes beside him, the axes are almost equal to his height.
Gudoo, Gudoo, ahhhhhh...
The beard was stained with wine, and the dwarf immediately tore the bones of his legs with an appetite.
It seemed that because of the magician, wherever Lei Luo went, the people around would step aside a little, and he would soon arrive in front of the hall of the Mercenary Association.
Lei Luo wanted to go in, and someone inside wanted to come out. A wild man carrying a black ax crossed Lei Luo, holding a scroll of animal skin contract in his hand, and shouted in front of the hall door: "Charge Tomahawk Mercenary The regiment recruits five temporary teammates, who can officially join the team after passing the assessment!"
The scattered mercenaries in front of the hall immediately stood up one after another and surrounded them.
Lei Luo walked into the hall, and the guardian who maintained order at the door inspected it, and did not question Lei Luo like he did with other people.
Countless people stopped and stopped, and there were various level tasks hanging on the marble walls, but most of them were D-level tasks, responsible for escorting caravans, looking for some low-level specimens, hunting some special monster specimens, etc. , often requires the cooperation of multiple people.
Curious, Lei Luo glanced at the S-rank mission scroll on the top.
S-level tasks:
Look for clues to the ruins of the Gu'lan civilization in the Furnace Desert.
Mission reward: 7.5 million gold coins or equivalent energy magic crystals, plus 100 grams of star crystals.
"Uh, this should be a task issued by the Royal Committee of Academicians, right?"
Lei Luo guessed: "Finding the ruins of the Gulan civilization is almost the dream of all scholars. In addition, "Self-Control" also mentioned this ancient civilization that has disappeared..."
Lei Luo shook his head and looked at other S-level tasks.
S-level tasks:
Find the complete remains of ancient creatures in the Dead Abyss.
Mission rewards: 6 million gold coins or equivalent energy magic crystals, plus a seat for lifelong elders in the St. Granburg Arena, and a Huangquan Bird mount.
…
Afterwards, Lei Luo came to the mercenary task release office.
This is a sweet-looking blond girl in her twenties, with big lips and blue amber eyes. When she looked at Lei Luo, she immediately smiled sweetly.
"Respect Mr. Magician, may I ask if you need help?"
After a while, Lei Luo paid the silver coins, took the mission scroll, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned and left.
Loose mercenaries who have not joined the mercenary regiment, commonly known as e-level mercenaries, although these soldiers will also pay some deposits to the association to ensure the effectiveness of the employer's mission contract, but compared with the regular mercenary regiment, the effectiveness will undoubtedly be lower Many people defected from their employers in times of danger.
Fortunately, Lei Luo's trip is not dangerous.
