Human world, Talon Town.
What the big guys were most worried about happened here.
Half a month ago, a defect appeared on the street on the west side of Talon Town. It was attacked by ignorant thugs with cheap skills. The thugs were swallowed up, and then changed and consolidated into a large defect, which is also known as the World Gate among the people. Some believe that the flaw is a purely magical anomaly, hence the name Might and Magic.
The country to which Talon Town belongs is called the Republic of Thunder. The word thunder is a celestial phenomenon that seems a bit strange in the whole world. This name is chosen because the country is affected by the monsoon, thunderstorms occur frequently in large areas, and there are also some distinctive thunderstorm spots. After it became a republic, it was named after it.
Since they are all called a republic, Lei Ming naturally does not have lords who hinder the progress of the times. Of course, the actual existence form is just changed.
There are two countries separated between Thunder Country and Saint Anthony. The Church of Light has a weak influence here, and its main belief is the God of the Four Seasons and the Goddess of Nature.
The distance is so far away, and if the precious light armed forces are not deployed in sufficient numbers, secrets can easily be stolen by hostile forces, so there is no need at all.
The local belief in the Four Seasons God evolved from nature worship. All the named Four Seasons Gods that can be verified originated from ancient mythology. There is no church for the belief in the Four Seasons God. The main reason why it has been passed down to this day is that some people simply do not want to be with various physical gods. The church is related.
The Goddess of Nature has a church, but it is filled with lunatics advocating environmental protection. The Kingdom of Thunder is far from reaching the level of full steamization of the Ragus Dynasty hundreds of years ago, so what is the use of environmental protection?
Because of too many mental illnesses, the Church of Nature has not developed a strong armed force similar to the Church of Light, and can only express serious concern about the matter in Talon Town.
Of course, not having a strong armed force does not mean that there is no force at all. The priests of the Natural Church all have a certain degree of natural magic, and even the seven-ring wizards can play a table of cards. It's just that these crazy people prefer to plant flowers and grass, and can't really organize a magic army that can resist the demons.
After excluding these two groups, the only ones that can be used next are mercenaries and national power.
A few days after the incident, the World Gate did not change at all. The vomited little devils and Goma set fire to nearly a thousand people and killed nearly a thousand people. Only then did the police department and the local tycoon's family armed forces unite to suppress the situation.
But they can't stand it, because the chaos in the town caused by the death of a large number of people is still waiting for the police department to deal with. They can't stand it here all the time. Moreover, the police are not meant to deal with such matters, and there are not enough people to die.
In desperation, the real owners of Talon Town, the Edme family, at the mayor's request, "donated" a sum of money to the town for the purpose of recruiting mercenaries.
As for the army... The human army is originally used to kill other humans. The average level of individual force is not as good as the madmen of the Church of Nature. Among them, the slightly stronger ones also have official positions in the army and it is difficult to get out. To gather an army that can withstand the world The army that stormed the gate would have to have a preparation period of several months at least.
This situation is obviously problematic. It has been more than half a year since defects appeared frequently, and there is still no large-scale defect response force.
The evaluation of "the parliament is full of losers" is just right for the rulers of Lei Ming Country.
At present, the only people Talon Town can rely on are mercenaries.
Mercenaries are a typical profession that exists due to insufficient management capabilities. Many of them are retired soldiers, and there are also guys who can't learn anything other than fighting and killing.
Lei Ming Country is in a very bad period and will resolutely crack down on mercenary guilds and other gatherings and organizations that may endanger social security. However, there is no way to eradicate the mercenary profession within the country, so this gray industrial chain has always been All survived.
Now that money is being paid in the name of Talon Town, a bunch of mercenaries will appear at once.
After observing for a few days, some brave guys passed through the world gate, some stayed on the other side forever, and some came back.
Compared with professional mercenaries, some non-professional mercenaries are stronger. For example, several five-ring mages and alchemists came to Talon Town to find demon bones.
If something serious happens, they can help.
Demonic bones have always been a magic material. Compared with human bones, demonic bones have better ability to guide magic. They can be made into a series of magic products such as powder and bone staff according to different needs.
The price of the little devil's skeleton has dropped in the past six months. One skeleton is only worth two gold browns, which is almost equivalent to the income of a civilian family for twenty days. Goma only appeared recently and still maintains a net worth of more than 20 gold browns.
The Stable World Gate appears in Talon Town. The number of demon skeletons here will inevitably continue to decline, and there is a chance to find the skeletons of higher-level demons immediately, so it attracts relevant mages.
Even though everyone is a fifth-ring mage, you still have to save the province.
After confirming that the World Gate could travel back and forth normally, the mage went to the mayor of Talon Town to discuss a mission, and led a group of people to the opposite side of the World Gate to kill.
Hundreds of corpses were brought back that day, half of them were Goma.
However, this does not mean that mages can make thousands of gold in a day, because there are not many mages who know how to use demon bones. This material is not a universal material, and its use is narrow and its consumption is limited. With the stable hunting ground provided by World Gate, , in Talon Town, not to mention two golden browns, one gold is too expensive.
But in the end, it was the Fifth Ring Mage, and even the master of Talon Town had to make some concessions. uuread a book
The current situation in Talon Town has not spread too far. The price of demon bones has not reached a particularly low level. There is very little room for price reduction of the little devil. After deducting the cost of making skeletons from corpses, there is still a golden brown, Goma. The highest bid is three gold to collect the bones.
It costs a lot for the mage to hire someone to move the body through the World Gate. All in all, it only costs two hundred gold a day. He can also get a bounty from the mayor, about twenty gold.
Compared with ordinary people, this income is naturally very high, but cross-border wars only occur once every few hundred years, and there are considerable security risks, so it is natural for the income to be higher than usual. Moreover, taking into account the fact that there is no profit during the recovery period of magic power, the average daily income is not even comparable to that of a medium-sized business group.
The senior mage can rush in and fight alone, but of course the other mercenaries cannot watch.
Waiting for the demons to rush through the door is not enough for everyone, so the little mercenaries form teams one after another to make a fortune in other worlds.
It can be identified from the sky. This other world is most likely a place of exile rather than a demonic world.
The name of the penal colony is full of blasphemy, sin, and deformity. It cannot even shine the light of God. Legend has it that it is filled with all kinds of monsters that look like humans and are not human, and they take pleasure in killing men and kidnapping women.
Sure enough, someone soon discovered a monster wearing armor on the other side of the world gate, peeking at everyone hunting demons.
Having armor means having manufacturing capabilities, and the image is that of a monster. The combination of the two just fits everyone's impression of the penal colony.
Because the number of monsters seemed to be greater, the team wisely did not rush forward and sent the news back to Talon Town.
For a time, many young mercenaries became honest. Even if they had to go there to make money, they would carefully stay within a visual distance of the World Gate so that they could escape at any time.
