Chapter 38, Chapter 39: Merchant, Adventure, Mercenary

(PS: Two updates already, one update is due, I will make it up tomorrow. After that, I will have to think deeply and revise the plot.)

Hao led everyone to walk in the hilly area for nearly twenty days. The hilly area is actually not big, but there are many cliffs, which is a waste of time. Fortunately, there is a second-level magician in the team and a combat-type extraordinary.

Now Lian Hao is also an extraordinary person. Although there is no energy circulation in the body, his body strength is

Judging from the height, it is much higher than Anyang. You can jump five or six meters away in a vertical step, and jump on the spot to a height of two to three meters. You can make big moves on many cliffs, such as using a vine.

There were vines connecting the two cliffs. If not, it would have been impossible for everyone to get out of the hilly area in twenty days.

After coming out of the hilly area, Hao discovered a highway in the distance. It was fifty meters wide and the length was unknown. The ground was flat and solid. It was a highway directly shaped by magic. Highways in the Elf Empire were generally

This is the case, and the external passages of the surrounding alliances of the Goodwill Elves, and the passages across the alliance, will be sent by the elves to create this kind of road. When Hao saw this road, he knew that it was close.

The borders of the Plant Alliance are up.

That night, Hao summoned the sergeants from the elves and humans to discuss the next various situations.

"From here onwards, it can be regarded as the border line of the Plant Alliance. We may encounter the border guards of the Plant Alliance at any time, and as far as I know, the Plant Alliance is the granary of several nearby alliances and even the elves. In addition to border defense,

Army, we estimate that we will encounter various business groups, adventure groups, etc. If we do meet, we must first have a unified understanding of what kind of team we are..." Hao said first.

The elves and the human sergeants all looked at each other. They didn't understand what Hao meant. Among them, the fat bureaucratic elf Nodo asked: "My God, what does this mean?"

Hao answered directly: "First of all, we need to confirm the attitude of the Plant Alliance towards the elves. In the civil strife and coup of the elves, whether the surrounding alliances participated and to what extent they participated. If so, what is their attitude towards ordinary elves?

How about, if they are not involved, what is their attitude towards the current elves? These are extremely important reference letters.

Based on this information, we will decide whether to enter the Plant Alliance, as well as our attitude after entering, etc. The best source of information is actually the transportation teams and business groups belonging to the Plant Alliance outside the border.

Adventure groups, mercenary groups, etc. Similarly, if we want to obtain such information, what should our identities be?"

"First of all, get rid of the setting of slave owners. Although the elves have slavery outside the empire's borders, from the point of view of the elves' own constitution, slavery is actually illegal. It is just a deep water under unspoken rules. If the people do not take action, the officials

No matter what, the elves brought a lot of humans to the Plant Alliance to trade slaves.

This itself is illogical, and the remaining options, refugees escaping from the border war, a group of elves and a large group of humans, are suspicious, especially the direction of the Plant Alliance, which involves our escape.

All matters related to leaving the border area, so this option can also be eliminated.”

"Among the remaining options, the business group needs to have goods. Of course, we have enough spirit stones. We can also come here to buy things, especially since we have magicians in our team. As Ai Yi's personal merchant

Group, come and buy enough magic medicine to make Ai a third-level magician.

This option is actually more reasonable. The only unreasonable thing is the means of transportation. As a second-level magician, even if there is no private flying vehicle such as a magic airship, there should be a magic car, right? This aspect is a loophole.

, if you want to choose a magician’s private business group, you need to make up for this loophole.”

Having said this, Hao paused for a moment, thought for a while and continued: "Then the adventure group and the mercenary group are similar in nature, but there are some differences. As for the adventure group, our current number should be regarded as a medium to large adventure group. Generally speaking,

It’s time to take on the task of clearing out the monster swarm in a small area. From the staff

Judging from the components, they are all trained cannon fodder humans, a second-level magician, a first-level combat extraordinary, plus a few elven marksmen holding military crossbows. Except for the addition of some women and children in the team, it is said that

To be honest, an adventure group with this proportion can already be regarded as an elite adventure group."

All the elves nodded. Compared to the ignorance of the human sergeants, most of these elves are civil servants and the like, and they are considered people within the system, so how come they don't know that the so-called adventure groups and mercenary groups are actually

The real two people in the novel are definitely not what they described in those novels. They are some peerless masters, some hidden masters, some adventurers who are constantly having adventures, and some who are stronger than the regular army. This is absolutely impossible, and it doesn’t even matter.

to consider these.

Regardless of whether it is an alliance or an empire, as long as it is a national organization with a system, the strongest ones will always be the regular legion, the ace legion, and the private soldiers of the major nobles and major forces, and there are only unscrupulous and wild ones.

Only extraordinary people would choose to join an adventure group, or form their own adventure group. Of course, the same is true for mercenary groups, even if they are just one person.

If there is an alliance, or one of the best adventure groups and mercenary groups that the empire is famous for, there will only be high-level professionals in the team, and it is basically impossible to have high-level legal professions. If there are high-level legal professions

, then this adventure group and mercenary group will definitely be evaluated by the outside world as legendary adventure group, legendary mercenary group, etc.

Extraordinaries who truly have a background, a foundation, and a detailed path to advancement have already enjoyed the support of the country and major organizations. They are safe, comfortable, and provided with various materials. This is hundreds of times better than adventure groups and mercenary groups.

.

So what Hao said is that a team with a second-level mage, a first-level warrior, several elven crossbowmen, and hundreds of human cannon fodder is rated as an elite adventure group or mercenary group.

In fact, this is the real reality. There may be only a few dozen adventure groups or mercenary groups in an alliance that can achieve this level of strength.

Hao watched the elves understand what he just said, and immediately continued: "The nature of the adventure group and the mercenary group are similar, but there is one difference. The adventure group follows the popular route and basically only accepts unofficial tasks.

Go deep into the wild and rarely participate in war-like tasks, while mercenary groups

They follow the official route and spend most of their time dealing with tasks involving the government, nobles, big businessmen, etc., and will be exposed to many dark side tasks, such as hired murder, kidnapping, gangsters, etc., and will also participate in local affairs.

War or something like that, in short, if one goes to the lower level and the other goes to the upper level, there are pros and cons to each."

Many elves discussed with each other, and the fat bureaucratic elf Nodo said: "My God, it can be seen from your words that you want us to enter the Plant Alliance as an adventure group or a mercenary group?"

Hao nodded and said: "I have this idea. After leaving the border line, there were actually two directions to go in the Plant Alliance at that time. One of them was to take the high-speed straight road. This road is actually the best way to go.

, but it is not the fastest road, because this road avoids hilly areas, swampy areas, and goes around the border of another alliance. If you use magic cars or mounts, the speed of this road will be faster.

It’s fast, but simply walking is not as good as the road we chose.”

"The road I led you on is the shortest distance available under safe conditions. Judging from the normal walking speed, we arrived here almost fifteen to twenty days ahead of schedule. These fifteen to twenty days

It is a buffer time to clear away the suspicion of war refugees, and then we need ten days to integrate into the Plant Alliance. The premise is that the Plant Alliance still maintains a good impression of the elves, or still recognizes our identity as a vassal of the elves."

Everyone suddenly realized that in fact, after escaping from the border, some elves proposed taking the highway, but these proposals were rejected by Hao one by one. Instead, he chose a road over the mountains. During this period, the elves did not complain.

, and now, Haocai has finally revealed the answer to the mystery.

Ai suddenly said: "If we choose to take the mercenary route, which is the high-level route you call, will it be more beneficial to our situation in the Plant Alliance? If the Plant Alliance is still a vassal of the elves."

Hao nodded and said: "That's true. After all, as a vassal of the elves, the Plant Alliance is the most kind alliance treated by the elves. Many races in the Plant Alliance are basically related to the elves. Even if the elves are

A coup occurred within the clan, which resulted in the ancestor of the elves being dragged into the River Styx, but the Plant Alliance treated

The senses of an individual elf cannot change immediately. The elves are still very comfortable in the Plant Alliance, so they take the upper-level route and work as mercenaries among the middle and high-level people of the Plant Alliance. Our team will quickly accumulate wealth.

Status, etc., whether it’s getting information or anything else, it’s easy to handle.”

Ai Yi is now very accustomed to Hao's various analyses. It can even be said that she has blind confidence in Hao. She immediately asked: "What about the shortcomings?"

Hao did not pause and continued: "The disadvantage is that everything about us will be scrutinized under a magnifying glass by major forces and organizations, and then we will have flaws and may fall into some crisis, and

When we enter the Plant Alliance as a mercenary group, we have to do tasks that are consistent with the mercenary group, dark side tasks, and I don’t want to do them.”

Many elves nodded secretly, and Nuoduo suddenly said: "In that case, let's enter the Plant Alliance as an adventure group. To the outside world, Miss Ai will be the leader, and Miss Anyang will be the deputy leader.

Some adventure missions will be no problem.”

Ai Yi looked at Haodao again: "Then as Nuoduo said, we enter the Plant Alliance as an adventure group? Are there any disadvantages to this?"

Hao continued: "Yes, the identity of the adventure group can be said to be the best choice at present, but the identity of the adventure group also has its limitations. First of all, as an adventure group, we must accept the Plant Alliance Adventure Union

The order of

The fact that there are human women and children in the team is a big flaw, and it needs to be solved in the shortest possible time. These are the shortcomings of choosing an adventure group."

Speaking of this, the elves suddenly hesitated again, feeling a little indecisive. At this time, Aiyi asked Haodao again: "What do you think? Do you think a mercenary group or an adventure group is better?"

Everyone looked at Hao, and Hao had obviously made up his mind. He said directly: "The advantages and disadvantages of choosing an adventure group are what we just mentioned. But in addition to these two advantages and disadvantages, there is actually another advantage to choosing an adventure group.

That is freedom. The adventure group itself is not exclusive to any country or alliance. If we choose the adventure group, even if we have a basic legal identity, as long as we complete some adventure tasks in the Adventurer Guild of the Plant Alliance,

Then we can use the empty doors within the Plant Alliance to quickly go to other alliances, far away from the elven border areas. At the same time, the adventure group also has an advantage, that is, it is neither black nor white, and many times it can be a legal adventure.

A group can also turn into illegal bandits in many cases. Of course, this refers to what others think of as an adventure group."

"Miss Aiyi, you are about to become a high-level magician, and Miss Anyang is about to become a second-level warrior. Just being a high-level magician and a second-level warrior is enough to make most people want to embarrass us.

People are shunned. In essence, even the local government needs to be careful about an adventure group with a third-level magician as the leader. The adventurer union will never dare to issue a trap mission to such a person.

If a third-level magician hides and plots, it can even threaten a legendary-level war-type extraordinary person, so an adventure group with a high-level magician will be named a legend."

Having said this, Hao looked at the rest of humanity and said: "So we entered the Plant Alliance as an adventure group. There are two first tasks after entering. The first is to find a temporary residence, and the second is to find a temporary residence in the shortest possible time.

Let Miss Ai become a high-level magician, and then..."

What was next, Hao didn't say anything. He had too many things on his mind. Everyone could see this, but as a wise man, it was strange not to have anything on his mind, so the elves didn't ask any more questions.

After confirming this, the elves and human sergeants began to practice some matters regarding the adventure group, such as each other's names, each other's external identities, each other's status when getting along with each other, etc.

Ai is the leader of the adventure group, Anyang is the deputy leader, Nuoduo is the external manager of the adventure group, Gray is the property accountant of the adventure group, Ari...

The elves all shared the main duties of the adventure group, and Hao was just the leader of the human cannon fodder group. The other humans did not have any duties. Of course, these are the job titles used externally. Internally, Hao

He is still the core leader who controls everyone.

In addition to these, Hao also made some disguises on the human leather armor and weapons. He made the leather armor old and rusted the long guns to make the entire human team look more miserable and the weapons more shabby. At first glance, it looked like that

A kind of cannon fodder that exists purely to fill lives. At the same time, the elves all held crossbows. Ai even pinned his magician badge on his chest. Anyang's weapons were polished, at least it seemed

Much brighter.

In addition to these, Hao also used some minerals and plants in the wild to make up the human race, making them look a little black, thin, and malnourished to the naked eye, while the elves looked like

They were all in high spirits and looked very proud.

Although it was just a change in some small details, after Hao's makeup forgery, the temperament of the entire team immediately changed drastically, and it really looked like a wild adventure group, with the arrogance of an elf clansman.

Angry, and human beings are as desolate as most human beings, with dull eyes, black and yellow skin, and thin bodies. They feel like they are just used as cannon fodder.

After these were completed, the team continued on the road. From then on, Hao led the team to walk directly on the highway. They walked like this for only two days, and sure enough, a medium-sized caravan appeared from behind everyone.

.

This caravan has about thirty carts, all of which are pulled by terrain beasts. This is a giant herbivorous beast that weighs fifteen tons and can reach a height of six meters. It has great strength and endurance. For those without magic,

For the Alliance race of vehicles, this ground beast is a good animal for hauling cargo.

The composition of this caravan was complex. Among them, Hao saw at least five or six races. Fortunately, these five or six races were basically vassals of the elves. Among them were several races from the Plant Alliance, and a few wore armor.

The escort should be the Yingren tribe, one of the main races of the Soaring Alliance,

When they saw the merchant group appear, the human tribesmen in the team subconsciously raised their weapons. Hao immediately appeased these tribesmen and then winked at Nuoduo.

Noldo was a little chubby and looked very kind when he smiled. He was originally a civil servant in the Elf Empire and a civil servant in the Supreme Council. At this time, he nodded slightly to Hao and took the lead from

He walked out of the team and waved to the business group approaching from a distance.
