Chapter 304: Double "Steel Grade" Commissioned by Hasty Parties
Chapter 304: Double "Steel Grade" Commissioned by Hasty Parties
"crunch-"
An Li opened the wooden door and looked outside curiously. It was almost evening now and she didn't know who was there at this time.
The first person that came to her mind was Mr. Pabel, the "night watchman". His terrifying eagle eyes always seemed a little scary.
However, what caught my eye.
He is a middle-aged man who doesn't look old, but his hair is already gray and there are fine wrinkles on both sides of his eyes.
The middle-aged man saw Enri opening the door, and a smile formed on his worried face: "Is your team leader here? I am the president of the "Kalinxia" Adventurer's Guild."
"Mr. President!"
An Li was a little surprised and quickly opened the door completely.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly to Anli, raised his foot to shake off the mud on his shoes, and strode into the room.
Following the movement at the door.
Tang Zheng looked away from the page in his hand and looked at the middle-aged man who walked in unexpectedly. He asked in surprise: "President Bertkin?"
Due to the Holy Kingdom's universal conscription system, people who are truly capable and talented will choose to join the army, which in turn leads to the Adventurer's Guild having an extremely low presence in the Holy Kingdom.
However, as an adventurer, Tang Zheng naturally went to the Adventurer's Guild when he first came to the Holy Kingdom, so he knew the president.
"Mr. Tang."
President Bertkin looked at Tang Zheng in surprise, a wry smile appeared on his worried face, and he opened his mouth to reminisce about the past or find a suitable entry point, but then he realized that they were not familiar with each other:
"There are two "Steel Grade" commissions!"
The straightforward words, coupled with the serious tone, all indicate the seriousness of the commission.
The air in the room was silent for a moment.
The Green Leaf Witch opened her eyes and looked over, and even Enri subconsciously clenched her hands.
"Steel Grade" commission, this is the highest level commission task in the Adventurer's Guild, and there are two of them at once.
despair!
Tang Zheng paused with a gentle smile, put down the book in his hand, and slowly said: "It seems that something big has happened, President Bertkin."
"You, the president of the Adventurer's Guild, have come here in person... So, one of these two "Adamantium-level" commissions is an emergency commission from the Adventurer's Guild, right?"
"Emergency Commission" is a relatively rare commission in the Adventurer's Guild. Generally, there are some higher commission levels, and most of them are issued by the Adventurer's Guild of the country itself.
According to the adventurer's level, "Gold Level" adventurers can indeed reach this line, but "Steel Level" emergency commissions are not eligible for "Gold Level" adventurers.
However, that refers to ordinary adventurer teams.
President Bertkin knew very well that, except for the ordinary girl named An Li, the strength of the remaining two people had already reached the level of fine steel.
"Yes."
President Botkin nodded heavily.
"What about the other commission?"
"Although these two 'fine steel grade' commissions are slightly different, their purposes are the same."
"Mr. Tang, your team is the only one in the entire Holy Kingdom that is qualified and capable of accepting this commission. From the perspective of the Holy Kingdom Adventurer's Guild, I hope your team can accept it."
"From the perspective of individuals and the entire Adventurer's Guild..." President Bertkin said this, emphasizing his tone:
"Be careful, be careful again!"
"This matter is very dangerous and has reached a level that cannot be resolved by individual force."
President Bertkin looked at Tang Zheng seriously and gave him a warning without any veiled intention.
The relationship between the Adventurer's Guild and the adventurers is cooperative and close, like some powerful adventurers or special talents with excellent abilities.
The Adventurer's Guild must provide protection to prevent unnecessary loss of strong people and talents!
Faced with this extremely serious atmosphere.
Tang Zheng raised his arms, spread his palms, and said helplessly: "President Bertkin, although the situation you have described so far is very serious, we still don't know what kind of commission it is."
“I wonder if you could tell me the specific content and situation?”
President Bertkin shook his head slightly, then nodded: "According to the simple intelligence from the Adventurer's Guild, this matter is too complicated and has a lot of impact."
"If Mr. Tang chooses to accept the commission, I will personally inform you. If you do not accept it, it will be kept confidential!"
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with realization. No wonder President Bertkin reminded him like that just now.
"what."
Tang Zheng smiled calmly, his eyes gradually becoming serious: "After hearing what you said, I am even more curious now."
"Are you sure, Mr. Tang?"
"Yes."
Hearing this answer, President Botkin felt a little complicated, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a parchment scroll with a weak magical response from his arms and handed it over:
“This is what the commission said.”
Tang Zheng took the parchment scroll, opened it with a slight force, and the magic reaction on it dissipated immediately.
"Secret magical means of blessing."
Tang Zheng felt the magic power dissipating, and thought to himself, his eyes fell on the scroll, and a thought came to his mind:
"Decipher the magic!"
President Bertin watched Tang Zheng checking the contents of the scroll and saw that the expression on his face gradually changed from calm at the beginning to stunned and shocked, without any surprise at all.
When he first received the news.
But he was even more surprised than the other party, and even thought it was a joke, thinking about the current situation of Abelion Hill?
President Bertkin's expression became increasingly serious.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.
Tang Zheng placed the magic scroll on the table, stood up suddenly, and stared at President Bertkin: "Are these contents true?"
"it is true."
"According to the intelligence we have learned, tens of thousands of undead have appeared in the Abelion Hills, and the specific number is still increasing."
President Bertkin's face was gloomy, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"The content of this parchment scroll is a commission signed by the Adventurer's Guild and Her Majesty the Holy Queen Karko."
The conversation between the two fell into the ears of the Green Leaf Witch and Enri.
An Li's face suddenly turned pale.
The Green Leaf Witch was surprised at first, then she thought of something. She looked at her shocked master with her bright yellow pupils, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Don't tell me now that we are the only adventurers here." Tang Zheng stared at President Bertkin and spoke quietly.
"Such a big matter cannot be handled by the Adventurer's Guild."
As President Botkin spoke, he turned his head and looked out the window at the rainy day. The sky outside had already darkened:
"According to the schedule, the Holy Kingdom's most elite Paladin Order and Priest Order have already set out a few days ago and will arrive at Kalinxia by midnight tonight at the latest."
"In addition, the Silian Theocracy has also sent out an elite corps, which will arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest."
This series of information clearly shows the seriousness of the situation. The relationship between the Holy Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy is not good, but under such circumstances they were able to achieve a brief cooperation.
It can be seen that the two countries have reached some kind of consensus in secret.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, judging from the time when all parties arrived, and the time when the Adventurer's Guild came to commission.
It can be seen that there is still some confusion on all sides, and there is a sense of haste!
But this is normal.
The living killed by the Death Knight will continue to become undead and increase in number. In the game "YGGDRASIL", this number is limited, but in the other world, there is no limit in theory. The longer the time drags on, the more undead there are, and the more difficult it will be to control the situation. The most terrifying thing is that tens of thousands of undead gather together, which may give birth to even more terrifying undead.
Therefore, we must act quickly to contain and eliminate it.
"The leader really made a big fuss."
Tang Zheng thought to himself, but he vaguely felt that the real purpose of the leader was not what he said about building the so-called kingdom of death in the hilly area.
"And what about the other commission?" Tang Zheng continued.
"Without further delay, let's go meet the client now." President Bertin responded immediately.
The other party used the adjective "principal" instead of the normal term "client".
Tang Zheng noticed this and his eyes flashed.
"Cui Ye, An Li, the two of you should get ready. Take out all the potions you have stored and be ready to set off at any time."
After Tang Zheng gave his instructions, he left with President Bertkin.
Enri couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Ever since she joined the Free Will Adventurer Team, she had never followed the captain to do a commissioned mission.
I didn’t expect that the first commission would be a “steel-level” task!
As Tang Zheng walked out of the hotel, he saw a carriage parked quietly in the rain and fog.
President Bertkin got on the carriage quickly without saying anything, opened the door and motioned Tang Zheng to get on with him.
"Where are we going?"
Tang Zheng was really curious this time.
President Botkin's expression was a little complicated: "You'll know when you get there."
Snapped!
Rolling bones
As the whip was whipped, the whole carriage moved quickly, the wheels turned quickly, and the rain was thrown out.
It was already approaching evening, and because of the rain, there were not many pedestrians on the street, so the speed of the carriage was not affected.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat quiet.
With such a big thing happening, President Bertkin was naturally in a bad mood, with a face full of melancholy and worry.
Although the location is in a hilly area, it is too close to the Holy Kingdom. No matter how much one hates demi-humans, they are nothing compared to the undead.
Tang Zheng also remained silent, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Things developed much more smoothly than originally planned. Compared to the threat posed by demi-humans alone, the threat of the undead was of greater concern to the Holy Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy.
He was curious about what kind of forces the Silian Church would mobilize.
Also.
Next, I am afraid that there will be a situation of fighting on two fronts, that is, the identity of "adventurer" and "mysterious red robe wizard" will appear at the same time.
at this point.
Tang Zheng had already made some preparations, that is the Ninja's professional skill "Shadow Clone".
Although the ninja's clone has shortcomings such as being unable to speak and having a stiff expression, the identity of the mysterious red-robed wizard he disguised himself as is wrapped in a red robe with his face covered tightly.
Therefore, problems such as facial expressions and inability to speak were not a big deal. In addition, as a magic caster, there was no need for him to have close contact with others.
The real difficulty.
The problem is that the "Shadow Clone" can only last for 10 minutes, with a full hour of cooldown in between. 10 minutes is obviously not enough to deal with the next situation?
but!
He has found a solution, although it is a bit of a waste of talent, but it is the only way to do it.
Tang Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the curtains that were shaken by the rapid speed of the carriage and were blown up by the cold wind outside from time to time.
"This route..."
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned. Judging from the streets outside and the direction of the carriage, they were leaving "Kalinxia" and heading east.
That direction is exactly the city wall fortress!
After nearly an hour of carriage travel, the central Dadun Castle of the city wall fortress appeared in front of the carriage.
Even if it's raining!
A team of more than 20 soldiers was still stationed in the direction of the city gate.
At the front of the team stood a thin figure wearing a black round hat on his head and a black cloth wrapped around his face, revealing only a pair of sharp and fierce eyes.
The other party was none other than Pavel, one of the Nine Colors, the "Black" and the captain of the Night Watch.
The rain and fog made the vision in the distance very blurry, and even the sound of the carriage passing by was covered by the rain.
however!
Black Pavel’s eagle-like eyes seemed to be able to see through the rain and fog easily, and his sight fell on the carriage that was heading in that direction.
"I knew you would accept this commission."
Black Pavel raised his hand and pulled the round hat on his head. At this moment, a hint of relief and a smile appeared in his horribly narrow eye sockets.
What happened in the Abelion Hills has far exceeded the scope of what adventurers can handle. This is no longer a simple matter of guarding, destroying monsters, or collecting items in dangerous areas.
Be more truthful.
This is an issue that needs to be addressed at the national level.
For a normal adventurer, the most appropriate reaction when faced with such a thing would be to avoid it as much as possible.
What's more, the "Free Will" Adventurer Team is not adventurers from the Holy Kingdom, but people from the Kingdom.
Wow!
The carriage penetrated the rain and fog.
With the neighing of horses, the carriage stopped at the city gate of Central Dunburg.
"Tear—Crack—"
President Bertkin was the first to pull open the carriage curtain, walked out of the carriage, and jumped off the carriage lightly regardless of the falling rain.
"Mr. Pabel."
President Bertkin looked at the figure approaching and spoke softly with a hint of respect in his tone.
Black Pavel nodded, but his eyes did not linger on President Bertin for too long. Instead, he looked at the figure that followed him out of the carriage.
The pure white, loose, slightly modified priest's robe seemed bright in the dim environment at this moment.
"It's really bad weather today."
Tang Zheng got off the carriage, wiped his wet hair, and spoke half-complainingly and half-jokingly.
Black Pavel walked forward silently, came in front of Tang Zheng, suddenly stretched out his hand, and said seriously: "Thank you."
"The undead are the enemies of all the living, aren't they?"
Tang Zheng was startled for a moment, then he raised his arm and shook the hand that Black Pavel extended, smiling gently: "Friend."
