Banner of the Evil God

There is no doubt that this proud "Kuaishou" old thief does have outstanding strength that matches his pride.

But Gerrard did not just accept his suggestion and chose to cooperate with him.

Experienced adventurers know that when choosing teammates, the first thing to consider is not strength, but character.

As adventure teammates, we often need to help each other, and sometimes we have to trust each other with our lives. If your teammates are weaker, be careful and choose jobs with lower returns and lower risks. But if your teammates have bad character, it will be a tragedy!

Just like Sui Xiong played a game before traveling through time and played a dungeon in a group. It doesn't matter if his teammates are a little lower, as long as they are a scam. The so-called "there are no brothers once the brother sword comes out" has even become a famous allusion.

Although Gerald has never heard of words such as "black equipment", as an experienced adventurer, he will never make the stupid mistakes of a novice. I’d rather not have teammates who don’t have a certain character!

"Please help me check the mission history of this 'Quick Hand' Mr. Lane." He said to the waitress of the Adventure Guild. "Check how many missions he has taken, how many teams he has participated in, how he got along with his teammates, and the completion of missions. How is the situation?"

Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a cold light.

This giant, who looked a bit young and innocent at first glance, was not at all as honest as he looked. He was unexpectedly quite experienced, which made him feel a little bit troublesome.

Although he has been prepared and will not reveal any flaws in this kind of thing, facing a cautious opponent, can the previous plan be executed smoothly? He was slightly worried.

The young waitress came back from the archives room soon and brought an old piece of information.

The information clearly states: Renn, nicknamed Kuaishou, is extremely skilled. He is not only the top pickpocket, but also good at traps, traps, stealth and combat. He has participated in well-known adventure teams many times and assisted his teammates in successfully completing tasks. Task. With outstanding performance, he can be called the most powerful thief in the four towns area. He retired about twenty years ago and came back half a year ago for unknown reasons. His combat ability has declined, but his skills are still superb.

Gerald looked at this information carefully. This is a unique service of the Adventure Guild. Such a file is created for every adventurer who registers in the guild and accepts tasks. When needed, this file is the most reliable proof.

Judging from the records, Lane is very reliable. But he was still a little worried, for no reason, just intuition.

"Senior Ren, you made enough money and retired twenty years ago. Why are you coming out again at this young age?" he asked.

Ren was silent for a while, lowered his head, and sighed deeply, but said nothing.

Not far away, among a table of middle-aged adventurers who were drinking, there was a quick-tongued one who said the reason: "It's not because of his son! The bastard didn't learn well, provoked the big shot, and got a very powerful curse. For To lift the curse, he spent all the favors he had accumulated over the years and owed a large amount of money. He had no choice but to work hard to make some money before his hands started to tremble. "

Gerald was startled and turned around to look, only to see that Renn did not deny it, but his expression was bitter, with the desolation of a hero in his twilight years.

To be able to leave the name of "the strongest" in the Adventure Guild's files, he must have been a big figure who stirred up troubles back then. Who dares to attack his family in his prime? But now, he could only spend all his family wealth to save his son's life, and he was in debt for this. He had to return to the crisis-ridden adventurer career with an old body. This was not only desolation, but extreme abjection.

Gerrard also noticed that Renne's mission resume in the past six months was almost not worth mentioning. In other words, although he returned to his old job, he was never able to find some decent work.

One can imagine the pressure he was under during these days!

Thinking of this, he, who had also been down and out, couldn't help but sigh deeply and patted the old thief on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

Ren nodded and smiled reluctantly: "I usually wait here for work. If you are ready, just call me. You can leave at any time."

"I don't think you are a novice. I don't need to explain what you need to prepare when you go out."

After saying that, he walked towards an empty table next to him and sat there motionless, not even ordering a glass of wine.

Gerald was silent for a while, then turned around and went out.

You already have your teammates, so just prepare the things you need to go out.

"Be careful." Sui Xiong's voice sounded in his heart, "Although I can feel that none of these people are lying, don't you think something is wrong?"

Gerald was shocked. This was the first time he encountered a situation where even His Majesty Oscar was hesitant. It was like traveling all the way to a Korean Internet cafe to watch the professional e-sports master he admired play a practice match, but the result was I saw my idol being beaten with blood on his face by a Chinese game commentator.

In an instant, everything felt bad.

"Your Majesty... I will be more careful..."

Sui Xiong nodded, yawned, and did not delve into this topic further.

The wind in the sky was too warm and the sun was too bright. He was so sleepy that he was already half asleep.

Gerald went straight to prepare the items needed for the adventure, mainly camping tools, things that might be used in the crypt, and various consumables.

The three space bags seized from the Orc Wolf Riders helped a lot. He bought enough supplies for ten people for two months at a time, and filled all three space bags slowly.

As for the commonly used healing and detoxification potions, as well as low-level spell scrolls, he didn't prepare too many because of the price. Although he has become rich, he is still a poor man in his bones and doesn't like to spend money lavishly.

After buying consumables, he ran to the blacksmith shop again. The dwarf "Forged Iron" stayed there temporarily. The dwarf who had promised to help him forge a weapon was helping to forge some simple ironware to restore his touch as a blacksmith. When Gerard visited, he said that his touch had not fully recovered, and he could not forge a more satisfactory weapon for the time being, so he could only make a low-quality product to make do.

Gerard certainly had no objection to this. The low-quality products produced by the dwarves were actually good weapons, at least enough for daily use.

Dwarves are not naturally better at forging. They just generally have strong bodies and are more adaptable to high temperature environments. This is a good foundation for the craft of blacksmithing. In addition, the average life expectancy of dwarves is almost twice that of humans, which means that young dwarves have more time to hone their skills, and old forging masters can teach more apprentices in their lifetime.

All these factors combined have created the golden signboard of "Dwarf forging, must be fine."

Forging iron is not old, and those under fifty years old are still young among dwarves. His forging skills can only be said to be good. Compared with ordinary human blacksmiths, he is nothing more than stronger, able to forge red-hot iron blocks more densely, and the weapons he makes are stronger. He has not yet mastered those advanced skills that really require years of precipitation.

He made a huge battle axe for Gerard. The axe handle was made of a whole log, which was peeled and burned, and then finely polished. Finally, it was wrapped with animal skin to ensure that it was stable in the hand. The axe was made of wrought iron, and the blade was covered with steel, which was extremely sharp.

"In fact, you should first make an axe core with steel, and then wrap it with iron, so that you can better transmit power." The forged iron said with some regret, "But it takes a lot of time to make such a battle axe. I see that you are in a hurry, so let's make do with this one first."

For this axe, Gerald paid 1,300 gold coins, 400 gold coins for wrought iron, 600 gold coins for steel, 100 gold coins for logs, 100 gold coins for consumables such as charcoal, and the last 100 gold coins were the reward for inviting craftsmen to help.

As for the forged iron himself, he did not take a penny, but only told Gerald to use this axe to chop more bad things.

"Count my share when fighting." That's what he said.

When Gerard left the blacksmith shop, he had already put on a sturdy canvas coat. The specially made sturdy leather belt formed a hook on his back, which made it easy to carry the ridiculously large battle axe on his back without hindering his movements.

The entire battle axe weighed nearly 4,000 kilograms, a terrifying weight that made people tremble. When it was wielded, even dragons would retreat. Even giants known for their strange strength rarely used such heavy weapons. But it seemed to be just the right weight in Gerard's hand, neither too heavy to lose flexibility nor too light to make him difficult to exert force. It was just right.

When Gerard returned to the Adventure Guild with this huge battle axe on his back, everyone in the guild was stunned. Some young adventurers even couldn't help but come over to talk, just to get a close look at this unheard-of huge weapon.

"With this, even a dragon can fight!"

"Are you kidding? What do you mean by 'can fight'? If it is hit by this axe, even a dragon will lose half its life!"

"If you smash it with the back of the axe, even a large part of the city wall can be smashed down... No wonder the giant is called a 'living siege vehicle', the power is so strong!"

"If I have this power, it would be great!"

"Don't dream, if you are as powerful as him, then all your belongings may not be enough to eat for a few days..."

Amidst the laughter, Gerard handed a few gold coins to the waiter in charge of the bar and said loudly: "Please have a drink, and wish me good luck!"

Amidst the laughter and blessings, he left the Adventure Guild with Palin, who was a little dizzy from reading, and Ryan, who was so lonely that he avoided strangers, and headed towards the secret treasure of the Orc Wolf Riders according to the location that Sui Xiong searched from the memory of "Blood Hand" Ruel.
