The man glanced at the grocery store and then looked around. Then he turned around and left. Zhao Hai had been paying attention to him, wanting to see what he was going to do.
Zhao Hai didn't expect that the man just looked for a place to shelter from the wind. Then he took out a piece of animal skin from his chest and spread it on the ground. Then he sat on the animal skin and closed his eyes.
The temperature of the Arctic Continent was very low at night. Even though the man was sitting on the ground, he didn't seem cold at all. In addition to the fact that he was a Warlock, Zhao Hai also noticed that the man was sitting on a piece of Snow Fox skin.
Snow Foxes were a type of fox unique to the Arctic Continent. They had a snow-white body and were very beautiful. Moreover, they were also a type of demon beast. The most valuable part of a Snow Fox was its crystal core, its poison sac, and finally, its skin.
The crystal core of a demon beast could be used for cultivation, it could be used to make magic staffs, and it could also be used in formations. These were all good things. This was because the crystal core of a demon beast didn't only have strength, it also had the life of a demon beast. It was absolutely a good thing.
The poison sac of a Snow Fox was even more extraordinary. This poison sac could be used to make a hallucinogen. This hallucinogen was also a good thing. As long as a person smelled it, they would have hallucinations. If they inhaled too much, they might even die.
The same was true for the crystal core of a Snow Fox. If it was used to make a formation, then the formation's power would be greatly increased.
The Snow Fox skin was very good. Not only was it very warm, it was also very beautiful. It could also increase a person's running speed. It was absolutely a good thing.
Zhao Hai didn't think that this person would have a piece of Snow Fox skin. However, Zhao Hai wasn't very optimistic about this person's actions tonight. Although Zhao Hai didn't enter the grocery store, he had already used his spiritual force to see the situation inside. There was only a 50 year old man inside the store. This man was very thin and didn't look very impressive. However, Zhao Hai could feel a murderous aura coming from this person. It was a murderous aura. Such a person was absolutely not to be trifled with.
Zhao Hai was sure that this grocery store's owner wasn't a good person in the past. He might even be doing it now. However, Zhao Hai didn't make a move, nor did he say anything. He just quietly watched.
The person rested until midnight. After that, he stood up and put away the Snow Fox skin. Then he slowly walked towards the grocery store. Before long, he arrived at the grocery store. Then he looked at the store and softly chanted a few incantations. A stream of water shot out from his hand and directly hit the door shaft of the grocery store. Then he shot another stream of water from his hand and directly hit the middle of the store. This should be where the door bolt was placed. After that, the water flowed and the door bolt slowly opened. Then the person carefully pushed the door and walked in. Because the door shaft was lubricated by the water, it didn't make any sound.
Then the person walked in very carefully. Every step he took, he would pay attention to the situation around him. This was to make sure that he didn't make any sound as he moved forward.
It can be seen that this wasn't the first time he did this. He was very experienced. However, Zhao Hai was sure that he kicked an iron plate this time. This was because the grocery store's owner had already stood up and took out his staff.
Just as the person was about to enter the bedroom, the sound of an incantation was suddenly heard from the bedroom. Then the bedroom door was opened and an ice arrow was shot out from the bedroom.
The person didn't expect the other party to wake up. However, it was clear that he was prepared. His figure flashed to the side, his movements were very flexible. Then a blue light flashed from his body as an ice shield appeared in front of him. Then he quickly retreated.
At this time, the store's owner rushed out of the bedroom. The store's owner also had a shield on his body. At the same time, the staff in his hand flashed as a few spells were cast towards the person.
One was advancing while the other was retreating. Naturally, their speed was different. However, it was clear that when the person retreated, he used a spell on himself. Because of this, his speed was very fast.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived on the street. But during the entire process, neither of them spoke. After arriving on the street, the two began to chant incantations at the same time. Then one spell after another was cast towards the other. Before long, the two had exchanged several blows. Their spells were very fast, but they still needed to chant incantations to cast them.
However, it can be seen that the person wasn't the store owner's opponent. If it wasn't for the staff in his hand being very good, then he might have already been defeated.
At this time, the store owner suddenly took out a talisman from his chest and threw it towards the person. The talisman opened with the wind and suddenly turned into a huge ice bear. The person was startled and dodged to the side. But just as he dodged to the side, he immediately fell into the ice. Then the ice immediately froze. At this time, the store owner waved his hand as the ice bear rushed towards the person. The person's eyes couldn't help but flash with despair.
"Enough!" Along with this voice, the two people and the ice bear became motionless. Finally, the ice bear turned back into a talisman and floated in the air.
Zhao Hai slowly walked out and looked at the two. The two looked at Zhao Hai in horror. Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled faintly, "Good, you're just right." Then he waved his hand as the two slave formations entered the two's bodies. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up as he looked at the two and smiled faintly, "Good.
The two people's bodies stiffened, then their faces showed a painful expression before they fainted. It didn't take long before they woke up and fainted again. After a few times, the two finally recovered.
Zhao Hai waved his hand, and the two people were able to move. The two turned to Zhao Hai and said, "We have seen the Master."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Let's talk inside." Then he walked towards the grocery store with the two people following behind. Before long, the three entered the store. Zhao Hai sat down and looked at the two people and said, "I've accepted the two of you today because I have two things for you to do. Right, what are your names?"
The person that Zhao Hai saw in the library said, "Replying to the Master, this little one is called Lei Jun."
The shop owner said, "Master, this old man is called Leng Bing."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright, Lei Jun, go to the mercenary management office tomorrow and register an adventurer group. Here's the money. As for the name, I think it should be called the Green Jade Adventurer Group."
Lei Jun nodded, then he said, "Yes, Master can rest assured. I originally wanted to save some money and establish an adventurer group. Therefore, I'm very clear about the matter of registration."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Leng Bing and said, "Leng Bing, you want to sell a place. The place doesn't need to be too good, but it needs to be big enough."
Leng Bing said in a deep voice, "Yes, Master can rest assured. Actually, this grocery store is very close to the main river. But the price might be a little higher."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, money is not a problem. Buy all the places around here. Buy as big as you can, and do it as soon as possible." After saying that, Zhao Hai directly threw a bag to Leng Bing.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and said, "I'll give you five days. In these five days, take care of these two things." The two of them responded in unison.
After saying that, Zhao Hai disappeared from the grocery store. Leng Bing turned to look at Lei Jun and said in a deep voice, "Let's stay here today. Tomorrow, we'll split up and do things. Why did you come to kill me?"
Lei Jun said in a deep voice, "The mission is still there. I think we should find a way to eliminate this mission as soon as possible. Have you offended anyone recently?"
Leng Bing thought for a moment and said, "I have a rough idea. It should be solved soon. You don't have to worry."
Lei Jun nodded. Then the two of them sat in the grocery store and chatted softly. The two of them didn't know each other, but now that they have become Zhao Hai's subordinates, they naturally have to understand each other.
The next morning, after the two of them had breakfast, Lei Jun directly went out. The bag that Zhao Hai gave him had enough gold coins to ensure that he could successfully register an adventurer team. Moreover, Lei Jun himself was from the Ice Jade Country, so it was very easy for him to register.
Leng Bing began to discuss the matter of buying a house with the people around him. The place where Leng Bing was located was actually a civilian area. The houses here weren't good, they could only be considered ordinary houses. Leng Bing offered a high price, enough for those people to buy a house in a better place. Those people naturally didn't have any ideas and immediately agreed.
The two of them were very fast. Lei Jun's adventurer team was registered on the same day, and Leng Bing only took three days to buy all the houses around. Those who didn't want to sell their houses, or those who wanted a high price, would always have someone in their family who would die of a sudden illness. This made those people honest, and the price that Leng Bing offered wasn't low, so those people naturally agreed to sell their houses.
During these three days, Zhao Hai had been paying attention to the two people. He wanted to see how they were doing. Originally, Zhao Hai only wanted to subdue Lei Jun. However, Leng Bing also made Zhao Hai feel very interested. This person had a story, so Zhao Hai wanted to subdue him.
Although the strength of these two people wasn't very strong, the people that Zhao Hai wanted to recruit weren't that strong. He only wanted to recruit some people with average strength, because those who were strong had already been snatched away by those adventurer teams.
Now that the two of them had finished their business, Zhao Hai naturally appeared. When the two saw Zhao Hai arrive, they immediately welcomed him and led him to the grocery store. Although this place belonged to them now, even if you buy a house, you still need to give people some time to move. This was a sudden purchase, it wasn't as if they were going to sell it.
After the three entered the grocery store, Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "You've done very well these past few days. I'm very happy. Lei Jun, do you know anyone among the adventurers? They don't need to be strong, even if they're weak. Recruit them to our adventurer team, I won't treat them unfairly. "
Lei Jun stared, then he was puzzled as he said, "Master, why do we need to recruit those who are weak? Those people are too weak, it would be very detrimental to the development of our adventurer team. "
Zhao Hai said, "In the future, you two can call me Young Master. I didn't establish this adventurer team to make money. I recruited those people for other purposes. You don't need to worry about that. Just recruit the adventurers in the library. Right, what about the other adventurer teams?"
Lei Jun replied, "Young Master, I know about this. Every month, they receive 10 gold coins to 100 gold coins. Moreover, the mercenary teams receive missions. Those who participate in the missions will receive a certain promotion, but the promotion won't be high. As for food and lodging, the adventurer team will take care of them. Their family members will also be brought to the adventurer team. It can be said that each adventurer team is an independent kingdom."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's not a problem. I'll give them better treatment than those big adventurer teams. So you don't need to worry about anything. Just recruit people. Here's the money." After saying that, Zhao Hai threw a bag to Lei Jun. Lei Jun took it and nodded.
Zhao Hai turned to Leng Bing and said, "Leng Bing, you need to move those people away as soon as possible. Then you don't need to worry about it. We need to rebuild these places, but this kind of construction can't be done by others."
Leng Bing nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. Rest assured, I'll arrange it."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Well, Leng Bing, what did you do before? I don't think you're an ordinary person. "
Leng Bing nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be a member of an assassin group. Later, I quit and opened my own grocery store. Because my position in the assassin group isn't high, no one will care about us. It's just that we can't betray the organization, otherwise, we'll definitely be hunted to death."
Zhao Hai nodded, "That's the same as what I thought. Cold Ice, you have to pay attention to this. In the future, our mercenary group will focus on gathering information. In this aspect, the adventurers would certainly have no experience, so you have to teach them. Do you understand?" Cold Ice nodded.
Leng Bing nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master, don't worry. I will prepare it. In this regard, we have all received special training. I believe there won't be any problems."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, "Of course, our mercenary group also needs to have our own camp. Leng Bing, you have to pay attention these days and see if there's anything good about this business. If there is, then we can help with this kind of business. Remember, it must not be a particularly high-level business."
Leng Bing nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this."
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and said, "I'll leave this to you first. If you need anything, tell me when I come next time." After saying that, Zhao Hai disappeared.
Leng Bing turned to look at Lei Jun and said in a deep voice, "Lei Zi, it seems that Young Master mainly wants to establish an intelligence agency. It seems that we have to pay attention to the selection of people. When you recruit people, you have to recruit some smart people. Don't find some too stupid people. Although those people are easy to control, they will ruin Young Master's plans."
Lei Jun nodded and said, "Over the years, in order to establish an adventurer team, I've deliberately established some connections. Although those people aren't very strong, they are steady. They should be useful. However, I still need to screen them." Lei Jun nodded.
Leng Bing said in a deep voice, "I will also contact the people in our assassin group. Although those people are not very strong, they should be good at intelligence." Lei Jun nodded and the two of them chatted about other things.
