Ten minutes later, Rina, who had alighted from the carriage, looked completely different. Her heavy armor had been put away and was replaced by a black leather armor. This black leather armor seemed to have been around for some time, as the edges and corners were severely worn. However, it fit Rina very well. Her slender figure, which was originally covered by the armor, looked even more graceful under the black leather armor. Her long golden hair was casually tied at the back of her head, and she looked less aggressive, but more refreshing like a young girl. Her longsword, which never left her side, was on her back. She really looked like a young and beautiful female adventurer.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Rina got out of the carriage, only to find that the mage named Felic was staring at her. For a moment, Rina thought that there was something wrong with her disguise, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Not bad, you look like a real Adventurer …" Lin Li looked at her from head to toe with a critical gaze, and could only pick out one thing that was not a problem. "It would be better if I could make my face darker. Female Adventurers that are too pretty tend to get into trouble easily …"
Rina blushed uncontrollably when she heard the young mage praise her beauty. As for the part where he asked her to darken her face, she pretended that she didn't hear anything. That was definitely out of the question. Which young girl in her twenties didn't want to be pretty? Who would be willing to paint their face black?
However, Lin Li did not insist. After all, it was a sin to have such a beautiful face smeared black by him …
The group of four arrived at the outskirts of Blackstone Town in less than half an hour.
Not far ahead was the campsite that Ujfalusi had mentioned. From Lin Li's current position, he could clearly see that there were more than a hundred tents in the campsite, and the largest one was right in the middle of the campsite. From afar, this campsite was even livelier than the market. There were men and women, young and old, mages and Warriors, and Lin Li even saw the figure of a Priest …
Furthermore, it was not an ordinary Priest. From the robe he was wearing, he should be a bishop of the Brilliance Shrine. This was no joke — the bishops of the Brilliance Shrine were at least level-15 and above. They were extremely devout in their beliefs, and would rarely follow a single person. In the Breezy Plains, only those powerful forces could recruit a Priest of the bishop level, such as the Glittergold Trade Union …
"He has a powerful background …" Lin Li touched his nose, and jumped down from the carriage. He led Norfeller and the rest towards the campsite.
Outside Lin Li's shop, Lin Li found an adventurer in his thirties. "Brother, can I ask you about …"
"You are?"
"I'm an Adventurer from Doland. These three are my companions. We heard that a big shot is recruiting Adventurers, so we came to try our luck …"
"I see. Haha, brother, let me tell you, you've made the right choice this time. Do you know who's recruiting Adventurers?" To Lin Li's surprise, this person was rather talkative. Lin Li only asked a few questions casually, and he started talking non-stop. "Haha, you don't know, do you? Let me tell you, it's the Malfa Family who's recruiting Adventurers this time! "
"The Malfa Family?" Lin Li was stunned at first, and then he was shocked. "The Malfa Family of Aminya City?"
"That's right." The middle-aged Adventurer nodded, and his face was filled with pride. "It's the Malfa Family of Aminya City. I've only heard about it in the past two days. The Malfa Family is recruiting Adventurers from Blackstone Town, and the rewards they're offering are shocking. Each Adventurer who takes part in the mission will get 10,000 gold coins. If they perform well, they'll even have the chance to join the Malfa Family's mercenary corps. That's much better than being an Adventurer and fighting magical beasts all day."
"That's really not bad …" Lin Li laughed in agreement, but he could not help but be surprised. No wonder there was such a big commotion. It turned out that the Malfa Family of Aminya City was the one who was going to deal with the Crimson Python this time. It was one of the few giants in the Breezy Plains, and was not too far off from the Glittergold Trade Union.
Although he had only been in the Breezy Plains for a few months, Lin Li had heard about the Malfa Family. There were many families in the Breezy Plains, but the most special one was undoubtedly the Malfa Family. They were not a prominent noble family, nor did they have a long history. In fact, the Malfa Family did not exist in the Breezy Plains more than 200 years ago. There was only an Adventurer named Leo Malfa, and he was definitely a genius. Before he was 30, he had already reached level-18, and became the brightest star in the Breezy Plains at that time.
At that time, many forces in the Breezy Plains tried to rope in Leo Mafa, hoping that the young level-18 Warrior would work for them. Some of the conditions that they offered were so tempting that even Lin Li couldn't help but be tempted. However, Leo Mafa didn't join any force at that time, and instead did something that no one had expected.
He used two years to completely unify the underground forces of Aminya, from casinos to brothels, and from smuggling to assassinations. Leo Malfa's shadow could be seen in almost every shady business. In just two years, all the underground forces of Aminya had submitted to Leo Malfa. After that, Leo Malfa reformulated the rules and redistributed the profits. The originally chaotic Aminya became the most orderly city in the entire Breezy Plains.
With the support of these lucrative businesses, the Malfa Family grew stronger day by day. In just 200 years, they had climbed from a family of gangsters to the real ruler of Aminya. Everyone knew that the real ruler of Aminya was not any castellan, but the Malfa Family that was hidden in the shadows. As long as the patriarch of the Malfa Family gave the word, even the castellan of Aminya sent by the king would have to scram back to Alanna obediently.
"Oh, yes, Brother, you haven't gone to register yet, have you? Come, let's go, I'll bring you over to register. Mr. Kewell, the person in charge of recruitment this time is my distant relative. If I speak up for you, things will definitely be much simpler. "
"Then I'll have to trouble you …" Lin Li hurriedly thanked him. "Oh yes, Brother, I still don't know your name after chatting with you for so long. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Felic, a mage from Doland. These three are my companions — Norfeller, Ujfalusi, and Rina …"
Lin Li used his real name when he introduced himself. Since they were hundreds of miles away from Doland, he was not afraid that someone would recognize him.
"Don't stand on ceremony, Brother. Just call me Johnathan."
"Alright, Brother Johnathan."
This Johnathan was indeed very friendly. He told Lin Li some news while bringing them to the registration area. The person in charge of recruitment this time was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was short and skinny, and his face was especially sharp. He looked like a talking monkey.
"Cousin Hahn, I've brought a few more people for you." Johnathan approached the middle-aged man with a face full of smiles when he arrived at the registration area.
"Oh, it's you, Johnathan. Who did you bring this time? Don't be like the previous time, bringing a few level-seven or level-eight trash and insisting that they were experts. Let me tell you, Johnathan, although the Malfa Family is rich, we will not raise useless trash. You'd better not give me any more trouble. " The middle-aged monkey glanced at Jonathan with a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes. It could be seen that he did not think highly of this so-called distant cousin of his.
"How could it be …" The smile on Johnathan's face was a little stiff.
"Johnathan is introducing the few of you, right?" After looking at Johnathan with some disdain, the middle-aged monkey's gaze landed on Lin Li. "This time, the Malfa Family wants to recruit adventurers who can really fight against high-level magical beasts. Once the mission is completed, each of you will get 10,000 gold coins as a reward. If your performance is especially outstanding, you might even have the chance to enter the Malfa Family's mercenary corps. However, I have to say the ugly words first. If you don't have the ability, don't come to earn this 10,000 gold coins. Don't lose your life before you even earn the money …"
"Don't worry, Mr Hahn. If we don't have the ability, we wouldn't dare to joke around with our lives …"
"Cut the crap …" Before Lin Li could finish, Hahn waved his hands impatiently. He took a few pieces of paper from the table and threw them over. "Anyway, that's what every adventurer who comes here says. I've been hearing it for the past few days. Whether you have the ability or not, you'll know when the time comes. Here's a form. Fill it up and pass it to Johnathan after you're done. He'll arrange accommodation for you."
"Alright, thank you, Mr Hahn." Lin Li slowly bent down and picked up the forms from the ground. He did not feel angry at all, but could not help but be curious. How powerful was this Malfa Family? How could a small fry in charge of recruitment be so arrogant?
"Brother Felic, my cousin is like that. His temper is a little like that. Please don't mind him … Oh, yes, fill up the form first. I'll bring you guys to find accommodation later." Johnathan, on the other hand, explained awkwardly. Lin Li did not know if it was because of this so-called cousin's attitude or because of his previous bragging.
"It's alright." Lin Li smiled and picked up the form in his hand to look at it. The content was not complicated. It was just some basic information such as name, age, home address, occupation level, and so on. Lin Li filled it up with a few strokes. Just when he was about to pass it to Johnathan, he suddenly saw the curtain of the tent in the middle being pulled open. A few people walked out, and one of them was actually someone Lin Li knew …
