When the four of them walked into the lounge, Lin Li was stunned for a moment, because he clearly saw a familiar longsword hanging from the waist of one of the warriors who looked to be in his twenties. When Lin Li had just arrived in the Breezy Plains a month ago, he had forged four magical weapons for Kaman to sell in his weapon shop in order to earn some money as soon as possible. The longsword in front of him was one of them.
Lin Li remembered that the longsword itself was forged from rune adamantine, and the elemental power contained in it was comparable to that of a real Magic Shooter. In addition, he had used the Elemental Seal technique to repeatedly compress and purify the elemental power contained in the rune adamantine, as well as the perfect combination of the two singularity mageweaths. Even in Lin Li's opinion, the rune adamantine longsword was definitely the best of the best.
Kaman seemed to have mentioned that the buyer of the rune's adamantine sword was a fella named Jason. It seemed that this Adventurer was the level-15 Warrior Jason that Kaman had mentioned. Not bad, not bad. With the help of a level-15 Warrior, the trip to the ruins of Syer Town should be much safer.
"Mr. Felic, there are a few Adventurers who are very interested in the mission you just issued. They would like to know the details of the mission."
"Alright, thank you."
After a simple introduction, the red-haired girl retreated, and left the lounge to Lin Li and the three adventurers.
"Hello, Mr. Felic, I'm Jason." Jason's self-introduction was completely different from that of other Adventurers. It was just a few words, and he did not even mention his own profession. To Jason, it was unnecessary. He was already at the top of the Adventurers in Doland, and the name Jason was a guarantee of his reputation. Levels and profession meant nothing to him.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jason."
"They are my companions, the Bandit Weathor and the Priest Rotiya. Oh, yes, Mr. Felic, I heard from Miss Penny that you need a level-15 Bandit?"
"Yes."
"Weathor happens to be a level-15 Bandit, and among the many Adventurers in Doland, Weathor should be one of the best Bandits. He has completed many difficult missions on his own, and is an authority in terms of searching and infiltration. At least half of the maps used by the Adventurers in Doland today were created by Weathor."
"That's great …" Lin Li nodded, and his gaze landed on the Bandit named Weathor. He had to admit that this fella was indeed a good Bandit. In Gerian's words, the most important quality of a Bandit was to be perverted, and this Weathor was undoubtedly the kind of person who was born to be perverted. He was short, and had shifty eyes, which made people subconsciously cover their wallets when they saw him.
"And this is Priest Rotiya. She is from the Brilliance Shrine of the Ledin Kingdom.
"Oh?" Lin Li could not help but be stunned when he heard the name Brilliance Shrine. Everyone knew that Feland was a true magic nation, and clergymen were rare in this land. Even the prosperous capital Alanna only had a deserted church. Lin Li had been in Anril for almost half a year, and the only clergyman he had seen was Archbishop Englos, who was an expert in pharmaceutics.
In the beginning, Lin Li really did not think that this delicate blonde beauty was actually a level-15 Priest!
Not bad, not bad at all. A level-15 Warrior, a level-15 Bandit, and a level-15 Priest — such a team could be described as strong. Even if the ruins of Syer Town were really as strange as Basel had said, Lin Li should not face too much trouble if he led such a team there …
"Very well, Mr Jason. This mission is yours."
After the three of them were recognized, everything became much smoother. Lin Li gave a brief introduction of the mission, including the purpose of the trip, the possible dangers, the distribution of the spoils of war, and the additional rewards that might be given after the mission was completed. In short, Lin Li's terms were very generous, and Jason naturally had no reason to reject them. The entire negotiation took only half an hour.
After reaching an agreement, Lin Li was unusually straightforward, and paid a deposit of 100,000 gold coins on the spot.
When the five of them left the Adventurers Guild, Duke had already been waiting outside the entrance of the Adventurers Guild for a long time.
It took about half a day's journey from Doland to Roland City. As time was tight, the six of them set off in the afternoon and only entered Roland City in the evening. Compared to the barren Doland, Roland was like a different world. It was rich and fertile, with large farms and orchards. It was a thriving scene at first glance.
After entering Roland City, the Bandit Weathor suggested going through the Dragon Mountains. According to him, that was the fastest way to reach the ruins of Syer Town. After going through the Dragon Mountains, they would be able to see the ruins of Syer Town in another hour. Since even the authorities had said so, Lin Li naturally had no objections. Hence, the six of them parked their carriage at the foot of the mountain, and climbed up the Dragon Mountains that evening.
Because of the existence of the Syer Bandits, no one had dared to enter the Dragon Mountains in the past ten years. Over time, this desolate land had become a barren land, and it was extremely difficult for them to walk on the winding paths. From time to time, there would be a few ferocious magical beasts lurking in their path.
At this time, Jason and the rest were put to good use.
To be honest, the magical beasts they encountered along the way were not too weak. There was a level-14 Velociraptor, a level-15 Terror Tiger, and even a level-15 Evil Eye that emerged from the forest halfway up the mountain. However, under the attacks of Jason and the others, these ferocious magical beasts did not have a good ending. Even the strongest Evil Eye could only hold on for more than ten minutes before falling under Jason's rune's adamantine sword.
One had to admit that Jason's position among the Adventurers of Doland was not for nothing. The abilities he had displayed in these few battles were far beyond that of an ordinary Warrior. Every attack and every defense he made was the result of life and death battles. Even though they did not look fancy, they were always able to produce unexpected results in real battles. Even Lin Li could not help but admire him.
As for the performance of the other two companions, they could also be described as spectacular. Needless to say, the Thief Weathor's fighting style was almost the same as his personal temperament. He was incomparably wretched. Every time he attacked, he wouldn't be too fatal, but he would always make those ferocious magical beasts feel extremely uncomfortable. He would either use a dagger to cut open a wound on the stomach or sprinkle poison into the eyes of the magical beasts. However, this guy was as slippery as a loach. Every time he took advantage of the magical beasts, he would leave. These ferocious magical beasts roared in anger, but they couldn't do anything to him.
All of this had something to do with Rotiya's theurgy. This petite blonde beauty should be a typical Battle Priest. All of her theurgy was aimed at combat. She could strengthen the body and reduce damage. In addition, she was almost invulnerable to Holy Attacks. This allowed her to occupy an absolutely important position in every battle. If not for her, no matter how powerful Jason and Weathor were, they would most likely have died under the claws of the magical beasts.
Since he had spent 300,000 gold coins to hire someone to do this for him, Lin Li was naturally happy to laze around. Along the way, there were more than 10 magical beasts, but this fella did not attack even once. The only thing he did was wave the flag and shout battle cries. Although Jason and the others despised this fella's idleness, they could not do anything about it. Who asked him to pay them? In this day and age, the rich were the bosses. If you spent 300,000 gold coins to hire someone, you could only bear with it even if the person helped you from time to time, not to mention idling around.
Along the way, it was more daunting than dangerous.
It took them almost half the night to walk from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. When they were about to enter a dense forest, Jason was the first to stop in his tracks.
"Mr Felic, it's very late now. If we force our way through the forest, we might meet with some danger. Do you think we should rest for the night before continuing?" The Dragon Mountains had a complicated terrain, and there were all kinds of ferocious magical beasts. Furthermore, it was the lair of the Syer Bandits, so it was extremely dangerous to walk in the Dragon Mountains at night. It was not easy for Jason and the others to make it this far. But no matter how brave Jason was, he did not dare to continue forward. He had no choice, as he had met such a client this time …
From Jason's point of view, this fellow was simply useless. In the dozens of battles along the way, this fellow and his entourage did not help at all. From the beginning to the end, other than cheering him on, they could not do anything else. It was not a joke to bring along such a big boss. It would be fine during the day, but now that it was night time, if they encountered any danger, the 300,000 gold coins would go down the drain, but if they were to lose their lives, wouldn't they die a wrongful death?
Hence, when they were about to enter the forest, Jason really did not want to continue forward no matter what …
Since Jason was unwilling, Lin Li did not force him. He nodded. "Alright, we'll do as you say."
Then, the six of them set up a few tents outside the forest and started a bonfire.
The night in the Dragon Mountains was quiet and cold. Lin Li huddled in his tent with a thick blanket wrapped around his body. As usual, he began his daily meditation …
