Noble Emblem

Throw yourself into a trap? Beta chuckled. God-born nobles are the profession best at protecting themselves. As long as the grown-up God-born nobles learn enough magic and keep up with their expertise, they will be difficult to kill.

Even in front of the legendary brave Kate, Beta seemed relaxed and natural. Except for monsters like World Tree and the strongest fire dragon king Margaret, who were already demigods, even if the legendary dragon came, Beta felt that he could escape. .

Being able to survive in extremely harsh environments and situations is, most of the time, much more important than having strong attack power.

After all, the vast majority of players believe in one ‘truth’.

Only when you stand can you have output.

So from Rooney's point of view, Beta was throwing himself into a trap, but from Beta's own point of view, he just went to the sanctuary to conduct reconnaissance and see if he could take advantage of it.

After all, the murky the water, the easier it is to catch fish.

Rooney wanted to persuade Beta, but he thought that in the diary left by Ash's ancestor, Beta was described as wise, powerful, wise and majestic, so he gave up the idea of ​​persuading him. After all, he personally admired Beta.

In the next few days, no one came to trouble the four of them.

On the sixth day, Beta and others were in a city called Maple Forest.

In this world, there are many towns and cities called Maple Grove, probably at least twenty, but only the Maple Grove City of the Temple of Light is the most famous.

Because there are so many people here... Maplewood City is a medium-sized city in France, but its population exceeds one million, which is about the same as King Hollevin City.

Unlike most cities in Hollev, which have city walls, cities in France rarely have city walls because no country dares to invade them. In history, France has only suffered two barbarian invasions. After causing certain losses, all the invading barbarians were exterminated.

Because there are no city walls, there is no such thing as a head fee. However, France has another way of collecting commercial taxes. Every merchant who wants to do business in the city must register with the tax official. According to the size of the store, to set your monthly taxes.

The price is not very high.

As for those small stall vendors, they don't need to pay any business skills.

Because of the relatively relaxed business system, the business atmosphere in France is very good. As long as the lord is not too harsh, the city here is very lively, with vendors hawking along the streets and bustling people on the streets.

Beta found a hotel to stay here. He originally wanted to send Jessica back to Waking City, but the little maid begged with tears in her eyes, saying she wanted to stay with her master.

Maybe he also felt that Jessica hadn't gone out to play for a long time, so Beta asked her to continue to follow him. Anyway, when there was danger, he could just throw her into the mansion's magic space. Besides, Jessica's level has now reached LV5, stronger than Rooney, may not be in any danger.

After resting in the hotel for a day, Beta left Rooney and Carissa to rest in the hotel, and he took Jessica out of the city.

The reason why he stayed in this city was because he remembered clearly that there was a large tomb of the Elf Kingdom in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Maplewood City.

This tomb was excavated by the Jialan Guild, and they gained great wealth and increased their strength. There are many magic instruments and equipment in the tomb, which are very important materials for any force.

Beta wanted to keep the contents of the tomb as his own. Of course, the premise is that the tomb has not been discovered by anyone else.

After about fourteen kilometers away from Maplewood City, Beta took Jessica into a lush forest.

Beta asked Joan to be on guard in the air, and he released all his mental power. The terrain of about 500 meters in radius was within his perception.

Of course, due to obstacles and thickness of the underground, the perceptible depth was only about 150 meters, but this was enough. He walked nearby for half an hour and quickly determined the entrance to the tomb, and confirmed that the entrance It was still blocked and not invaded by others.

Beta then returned to Maplewood City, and then went to the mercenary union in this city.

Although the mercenary union is a global organization, each country's mercenary union has its own characteristics and 'character'. For example, the mercenary union in Hollevin appears to be "rude" because most of them are warriors and thieves and there are very few spellcasters. The mercenary union in France, on the other hand, seems much more elegant. Firstly, this is the headquarters of the Light God. Many priests will choose to become mercenaries for a period of time to increase their experience and combat capabilities. On the other hand, France The people of Sri Lanka are naturally arrogant. Even if they are warriors or thieves, they are more educated than people from other small and poor countries.

Of course, everyone knows what is going on inside an individual, and there is no difference between big and small countries.

On the other hand, because the Faslan Kingdom is relatively wealthy, the mercenary union here is more elegant in layout and style.

There are a series of copper wind chimes at the door. Whenever someone comes in or out of the door, they make a tinkling sound, which is very pleasant to hear. The wooden floors and counters in the lobby are all light-colored and have been treated with special gloss wax, making them look extremely clean. In addition, the tables and chairs are all pure white, snowflake color, and coupled with the faint magic light source on the wall, the entire mercenary guild looks more upscale and luxurious than most nobles' living rooms.

In such an environment, even rude people can't help but restrain their temper a little.

As soon as Beta entered the mercenary union, he attracted the attention of many people. Although France has a higher average personal quality and IQ, there are still only a few spellcasters here.

Moreover, there was obviously a little girl who looked like a maid following behind him, which attracted even more attention.

People without eyesight would think that Beta was just a young man traveling with his maid, and would either be dismissive of him or start to have other thoughts.

Those with better eyesight can tell that Jessica is quite strong, while some people can barely tell that Beta is also very strong. After taking one look, these people immediately lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.

Beta walked to the counter and asked the female teller: "I need to hire a mercenary team with decent reputation and good strength, and they can gather in these two days. Any good recommendations?"

"Chenghui's consulting fee is five copper coins."

Beta put the copper coins on the table, while the female counter searched for a while in a pile of documents, and finally took out three pieces of paper, handed them to Beta, and said: "These are the three idle mercenary teams. They It should meet your requirements. You can take a look first. If there is a team that suits your taste, please tell me and our union will notify them immediately. "

After politely thanking the female teller, Beta took three pieces of paper, randomly found an empty table and sat down, looked at it for a while, and then started to think about it.

The reason why Beta hired a mercenary team was to 'rob graves'.

Speaking of mercenary groups, Judy's mercenary group is very strong and can handle this 'tomb robbing mission'. But precisely because they were too strong, Beta didn't want to use them.

After all, there are two powerful masters in that mercenary group, and the others are all elites or above, and the things in the tombs of the Elf Kingdom are too valuable. Beta is worried that in that case, the Silver Wings mercenary group will 'betray', There is a contract, which barely suppresses their greed, but this will inevitably leave a grudge in the hearts of these people and affect the cooperation between the two parties. It will also be difficult for Judy to be a good person if she is caught in it.

Beta can trust Judy, but not her team members.

But if it is a mercenary team with average strength, then there will be no problem. Tomb robbing is not too troublesome, but there are some mechanisms that require the cooperation of multiple people to find them.

Beta plans to use a strict magic contract to limit the actions of these mercenaries. Even if they see the wealth in the tomb, they cannot do it casually due to the magic contract, and the two parties break up afterwards and will never meet again. They were jealous that Beta had taken away a lot of wealth. Even if they were hating and angry, it didn't matter.

Beta soon selected a team and pointed them towards the female teller.

The teller asked politely: "This team's station is not far from here. They will be notified in about half an hour. Should Beta wait here this morning, or let them go to your place of residence to find you?"

"I'll wait here."

Beta smiled slightly, returned to his seat, ordered a bottle of fruit wine, and tasted it slowly.

Jessica also drank it... maybe it was because she was still young. Even though the concentration of the fruit wine was not high, she still drank it until her face turned red and she looked very cute.

This naturally attracted the attention of some LOLI fans, but when they looked at Beta's magic robe, they gave up the idea of ​​striking up a conversation or taking advantage.

After more than half an hour, six mercenaries came in from outside.

In fact, there are people coming in and out here all the time, but these six mercenaries have a wolf-shaped coat of arms tattooed on their chests.

There are countless mercenary teams that use wolves as their team emblems, but the colors and postures are different.

After asking the female teller about the situation, the team walked behind Beta.

A middle-aged man who looked like a team leader walked up to Beta's desk and asked kindly: "You are the one who plans to hire us?"

The captain was not physically strong, but his exposed skin and muscles looked well-proportioned. Based on experience, Beta knew that this man was either a thief or an archer.

"It's indeed me." Beta asked: "Howling Wolf Mercenary Team?"

"I'm Captain Dafu. Let's talk in the soundproof room on the second floor?"

Beta stood up: "No problem."

At this time, someone in the team suddenly said: "Hiring our team is not cheap. You must at least show your financial resources first."

"Captain Duff, this doesn't seem to be the rules of the mercenary union." Beta smiled half-smilingly.

Duff turned his head and shouted angrily: "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here."
