Ogmundu was very angry. As the future heir of the Iron Furnace Merchant Guild, he actually suffered a defeat on his own territory.
In the past two days, he had visited the mercenary union one after another, hoping to meet the person who was suspected to be a powerful saint.
But unfortunately, in the end his request was not fulfilled.
In the mercenary union, a seventh-level warrior of similar level to him came forward to receive him, and said that the guest was studying alchemy these days and did not want to be disturbed.
Ogmundu also knew the name of the visitor, who was called War-Crazy Bruce by the people in this city.
Although the other party is just a senior manager in the mercenary union, he is not the next successor of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce like himself.
But based on the gap in basic strength between the two organizations, the other party's status is actually not inferior to one's own at all.
After all, the Iron Furnace Merchant Guild only has a certain influence in the Kingdom of Adren, while the Mercenary Guild is spread throughout the entire continent of Erin. The size of the two parties is quite different.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I still haven't been able to see him..."
At the headquarters of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, Ogmundu lowered his head and apologized to his teacher.
In front of him, an old man in purple robes sat in front of a large desk, holding a pen and writing something on a magic scroll.
He is the president of the Ironforge Chamber of Commerce, Rickon Fox.
Fox didn't speak, Ogmundu didn't dare to speak, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
After a long time, the great mage finally put down the pen in his hand, and a brand new seventh-level magic scroll was completed.
"Actually, I can't blame you for this. Those stubborn people in the mercenary union always don't know how to work around. Since that one can afford 10,000 gold coins, he will definitely be listed as a VIP. If the VIP doesn't want to be disturbed If so, of course you won’t be able to see it.”
Fox rolled up the newly completed scroll, packed it in a delicate small bucket, and placed it in a dark yellow bookshelf nearby.
The dark yellow bookshelf is now filled with dozens of such scrolls. Almost every one of them contains a powerful seventh-level spell like what he just did.
Scrolls of this kind of seventh-level spells can only be made by great magisters of the eighth level or above, and the price of each one is at least hundreds of gold coins.
There are so many scrolls piled here that they are worth tens of thousands.
"Teacher, these are the ninety-six seventh-level scrolls you have made. What is the purpose of making such a number of scrolls..."
On the side, Ogmundu couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked.
Fox looked at him deeply and said slowly:
"Ogmundu, you are not the president of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce yet. There are some things that you should not know yet, so you should not ask more questions."
Ogmundu quickly lowered his head and said in a slightly panicked voice:
"I'm sorry, teacher, I was presumptuous."
Fox shook his head slightly and did not dwell on this issue.
He turned around and gently stroked a scroll on the bookshelf. His wrinkled old fingers traced over the scroll one by one, and there was a strange look in his slightly cloudy eyes.
"Haha, it's almost here. There is only less than a month left. This day has finally come..."
Behind him, Ogmundu still lowered his head, constantly guessing about the teacher's intentions.
"Okay, you go and marry my Holy Magic Crystal, and we go and visit the Holy-level guest in person."
Ogmundu raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and said with slight surprise:
"Teacher, do you want to go there in person? However, it seems that the mercenary union is..."
Fox smiled and said:
"Haha, Ogmundu, so I told you that just having great strength is not enough. There are more things in this world that you need to learn. Let's go."
…
Royal City of Edron, Talata.
The southern market is one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in the city. People buy and sell and receive tasks here on weekdays. There is even a special information distribution area here. If you want to inquire about any information, Then it’s right to come here.
Today is the thirteenth day since Zhang Xiaoman released the task.
At this moment, in a tavern in the South District Market, a group of people were discussing something in front of a message board.
Most of the people here are almost illiterate except for the amount of the task.
The person who helped everyone recite the messages was a thin and frail man. He was the resident bard here. He could also make some extra money by reading these messages on weekdays.
"The royal family has just issued an emergency bounty mission. There are a large number of mercenaries in the mercenary association to participate in the war between the north and the people. The requirement is to have the level of a low-level professional. Once selected, they can become a squad in the army. Commander, after the war is over, you can receive high rewards..."
The bard read the contents of the notice aloud, but the onlookers were a little unhappy at this time.
"I know, I know, Harvey, I have heard this news countless times. I want to know now whether the damn royal family has announced a specific reward list this time. I don't want to be fooled by those insidious and cunning people. The nobles were deceived!"
"Yeah! Harvey, just skip the previous nonsense! My ears are almost ringing with noise!"
"That's right! I won't accept the mission without seeing the specific reward list this time. I suffered such a loss last time when I finally helped a noble kill the monster that broke into his manor. As a result, The reward he gave me was a dinner! A damn dinner that didn’t even include wine!”
"..."
The bard was stunned by the crowd, and his face turned red. He wanted to say something, but his voice was not as loud as theirs. For a moment, he could only worry at a loss.
"Okay! Okay! Shut the hell up! Let's listen to what Harvey has to say! Didn't you notice? This time the notice is much longer than before, oh my God! What's behind it Those numbers should be the specific contents of the reward!”
A strong man interrupted the quarrel among these people.
The strong man looked a bit intimidating, and the whole tavern became quiet for a while.
"Ahem...reward...there is reward..."
Bard Harvey coughed twice with some difficulty. Apparently, his throat was irritated by the loud exchange just now.
Someone thoughtfully took a cup of tea and handed it to him. After drinking it, he quickly said:
"Don't worry, everyone, there is a reward table this time. The details of the table draw are: an orc head can be exchanged for fifty copper coins, and an orc commander can be exchanged for two silver coins. If you kill an intermediate or above Orc professionals can get a reward of more than fifty silver coins..."
As Harvey told the specific reward price this time, everyone fell into silence, but the tavern, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly became noisy again.
"Damn vampires! Why are these people only willing to give such a small amount of money! A mid-level professional is only given fifty silver coins!? This price is not enough for me to repair my equipment!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I won't go! I won't go! The price of this kind of beggar's tactics, whoever is happy will go, and I won't go anyway!"
"That's right! That's the bounty we paid for with our lives, and they only gave us such a small amount of money. Do they really think that we are all fools!? I declare that the Tiejia mercenary team will never accept such humiliation! Let that group To hell with the damn nobles!”
"Hahaha, who would believe what you say, Booker! When you run out of money, I'm afraid you will be the first one to run over!"
"..."
The atmosphere in the tavern has always been chaotic, but it has become even more exaggerated these days.
In the past half month, there has been no pause in the entire Talata, and all kinds of breaking news are coming one after another.
First of all, Mr. Ji Xing announced a reward of tens of thousands of gold coins in the mercenary union. As soon as this news appeared, it detonated the entire circle.
In the end, with the vigorous propaganda of the mercenary union, everyone knew about it, and even ordinary civilians joined the vast army looking for dimensional cracks.
After all, this thing can be said to be a once-and-for-all transaction, and it doesn't require any strength at all, as long as you have a little bit of luck.
As long as we find the dimensional rift, we will surely be able to live as happily as those noble lords from now on, right?
With such expectations, countless people joined the army looking for cracks.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Everyone searched nearby for nearly half a month, but they could not find any trace of dimensional cracks.
Not only Talata, but even the surrounding cities gradually learned about this bounty, and a large number of people began to set out to find the dimensional rift.
Unfortunately, countless people have been searching hard for more than ten days, but still found nothing, which made many people gradually calm down.
Yes, this is an SSS-level mission. If the dimensional rift is really that easy to find, how could there be a need to reward so many gold coins?
At this time, many civilians who joined in the fun on a whim began to give up. After all, they still had a lot of things to do at home, and they had to make money to support their families on weekdays. They could not be like those mercenaries, wandering around outside all day long. If they were lucky, If you don't encounter another World of Warcraft or something, then it's really just a fun time for the whole family.
However, this does not mean that the reward posted by Zhang Xiaoman loses its significance.
After all, the main force who go out on adventures are mercenaries. Although these people have lost their initial enthusiasm, doing tasks is their job and their way of life.
Therefore, there will still be a large number of people who continue to explore in the wild. Anyway, this bounty task does not conflict with other tasks. You can just complete it while doing the task.
In this way, this bounty mission has become a long-term mission. The mission target may not be found in a short time, but it may be completed unexpectedly one day.
The bounty on the dimensional rift is just one of the things these days, and in current terms, it doesn’t even make the headlines.
Because not long ago, a piece of news that shocked everyone even more appeared, that is, the Royal Court of Adren officially announced that humans will start a new race war with the orcs.
Race war is a disaster that can lead to the annihilation of a race if one is not careful.
Actually for the country of Talata! ? This price is not enough for me to repair the equipment! "
"Yes, yes, yes! I won't go! I won't go! The price of this kind of beggar's tactics, whoever is happy will go, and I won't go anyway!"
"That's right! That's the bounty we paid for with our lives, and they only gave us such a small amount of money. Do they really think that we are all fools!? I declare that the Tiejia mercenary team will never accept such humiliation! Let those people To hell with the damn nobles!”
