With food in hand, he would not panic. The same was true with money.
That night, Crick slept the most peacefully since he came to this world.
Early the next morning, accompanied by bodyguards, he went to the Adventurers Guild in the Void Mask amusement park to recruit suitable people.
As soon as he arrived at the Adventurers Guild, before he had time to enter the door, he heard someone arguing in the room. When he went in, he saw a slender girl with silver hair and pointed ears arguing with a fat middle-aged man.
Crick listened curiously. What the girl meant was that he had grown up and was very capable, and it was time to go out and explore. The middle-aged man said that his teacher had warned him that although he had learned magic well, his actual combat experience was seriously insufficient. If he wanted to practice, he should go to the Knights and be a military mage. If he went out rashly, it would not be an adventure, but a danger …
"This little girl's background is not ordinary!" Crick listened for a while and could not help but be a little curious. He quietly asked the adventurer who was resting in the corner of the guild hall. Sure enough, this little girl turned out to be the daughter of Mrs. Teague, the agricultural officer of the Void Mask Amusement Park, and the sister of the administrative officer, Ms. Liv, Ms. Nice.
Not only that, but Miss Nice was also the favorite student of the leader of the Church of the Void Mask, Master Satan. She had been studying under Master Satan for several years and was a rising star of the new generation in the Church of the Void Mask, a first-class young talent.
Crick listened and nodded, and also bought a bottle of high-end sweet wine for the adventurer to help the conversation.
After about half an hour, Miss Nice finally left angrily in vain. He said goodbye to his drinking buddy, who he did not even know, and entered the office to put forward his request.
"I need to recruit several middle-level or higher adventurers, mainly bodyguards, and may encounter more dangerous battles. I want a long-term contract and a reliable character. In addition to money, the reward can also be a title … Is that right? " The person in charge of the Adventurers Guild, Peter, was the middle-aged man who had been pestered by Miss Nice but refused to give in. He pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, would you like to talk about your situation in detail?"
Of course, Crick did not mind, so he talked about his situation, excluding some secret things.
President Peter thought for a long time before taking out a piece of paper and writing a few names on it. After thinking for a bit, he crossed them out and wrote a new name.
"Based on your situation, I suggest that you recruit a stable adventurer team. The 'Underground Warriors' team is very suitable." He said, "This is a rather famous adventurer team. The captain, 'Earth Bear' Devore, is a very high-level warrior. Although he is best at underground cave exploration, his strong martial arts skills and rich experience in leading a team can make him competent for a variety of tasks. Especially since he was a soldier when he was young and knew how to train soldiers, he was qualified to be an instructor. "
Crick nodded slightly and admitted that this was a good candidate.
"The other three members of the Underground Warriors are the Priest 'Fire Hammer' Morton, the Ranger 'Three Arrows' Reid, and the Thief 'Backstab' Laver. They have completed very difficult missions more than once, and their credibility is very good. They are a very high-level adventurer team. "
"Then, what's the price?"
President Peter smiled. "They're all a little old now, especially Mr. Devore. He's almost at the age of retirement. So as long as they have a long-term stable job, the employer is more reliable, and it is best if they can really settle down, the requirements for the pay are not so high. At present, the most important thing for them is that the employer must be honest and reliable, not the kind of person who hides a knife in a smile or is ruthless. "
Crick smiled. "You can rest assured that my character is very good. I am a believer of His Majesty of Distant Song! "
Although he was actually a fake, the identity of a believer of the God of Literature and Art was still quite convincing. As everyone knew, because of the exclusion of the Church of the God of Aristocracy, the nobles who still insisted on believing in the God of Literature and Art were generally good characters.
President Peter naturally knew about this. He thought about it and persuaded Crick to go to the temple of the God of Literature and Art again, which was the "Long Song Grand Theater" of the Void Mask amusement park. More than 60% of the elites of the Church of the God of Literature and Art were gathered here. With his identity, he should be able to smoothly recruit one or two reliable priests.
"Can I recruit mages?" Crick asked.
Although priests were also spellcasters, and were often better at dealing with curses and evil, the power of priests mainly came from the call of God. Compared with mages who relied on wisdom and knowledge to master magic power, priests tended to simply cast spells. Their ability in the aspect of scholars was obviously much inferior.
Take the professions in the system as an example. The professions of priests were generally warrior priests, or warrior priests, or priest priests. Very few of them had the level of scholar. Mages, on the other hand, were different. Almost every mage had a Scholar Level, and many mages' Scholar Levels were even higher than the mage's. For the transmigrator Krieg, having a powerful Scholar as an advisor would definitely be of great help!
"Mages can't be helped. The Church of the Void Mask has a bad relationship with the Church of the Master of Mystery. Very few mages take up positions with us." President Peter shrugged and said helplessly, "If you want to recruit mages, you can only go to the Commonwealth of Mifata. Anyway, you live in the Duchy of Thunder. Isn't the Commonwealth of Mifata next to you …"
"This' next 'is more than two thousand miles away."
"It's nothing more than a few teleportations. You're not short of money."
Crick was convinced. After agreeing to meet with the "Underground Warrior" adventurer group tomorrow, he used the transmission array to go to the capital of the Commonwealth of Mifata, the Highest Tower.
When he arrived at the Highest Tower, he found that the Adventurer's Guild here was far less organized than the one at the Void Mask amusement park. First of all, the management of the adventurers' information was not complete enough. Second, the internal atmosphere was not so harmonious. He always felt that many people were secretly looking at his wallet.
Fortunately, he managed to recruit a decent Mage. The Mage was called Damwade, a relatively unpopular Shapeshifting Mage. This kind of mage was good at changing things, whether it was external objects or themselves, whether it was external or internal. In general, they were a bit like alchemists — in fact, Mage Damwade did moonlight as an alchemist.
[Damwade: Strength 10, Physique 10, Agility 12, Perception 14, Intelligence 18, Charm 8, Reputation 260. Professions: Level 5 Scholar, Level 2 Alchemist, Level 6 Mage. Loyalty 60.]
When he saw Wizard Damwade's attributes, Crick was worried that this Sixth-level Wizard might be a fake. However, this Wizard then skillfully cast an intermediate-level spell, dispelling his concerns.
Perhaps … the level of Scholar and Alchemist could be counted as part of the mage's level … Crick guessed.
Mage Damwade was conducting magic research, which required a lot of money and a relatively stable environment. So he was willing to accept Crick's employment, even if it was dangerous. However, he also put forward his own requirements — he asked for a separate laboratory, and if there were no special circumstances, he was strictly forbidden to be disturbed, and he also needed to arrange guards to watch the door for him.
These requirements were generally reasonable, so the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
Crick took Wizard Damwade and teleported back to the Void Mask Amusement Park. After settling the Wizard down, he hurried to the You Jiu Song Grand Theater without stopping.
A senior priest of the Church of the God of Literature and Art received this aristocrat. When he learned that he was currently in big trouble and needed reliable manpower, he arranged two helpers for him.
One was a priest named Thomas, and the other was a bard named Nicola. It was interesting to say that both of them were good at using electric spells, but they had a very bad relationship with each other. They quarreled almost every time they met, and even often fought. Perhaps the reason why the Church of the God of Literature and Art gave them to Crick was that out of sight, out of mind.
Excluding the bad relationship with each other, the strength of these two believers of the God of Literature and Art was still very strong, and they were very loyal. Thomas had a total level of fourteen, and Nicola was thirteen. Their loyalty had reached eighty, so there was no need to worry about them.
Seeing that it was getting late, Crick invited them and Mage Damwade to have dinner together, and of course, his two bodyguards were also there. A group of six people ate and drank in the big restaurant run by the Church of the God of Joy. In the end, except for Mage Damwade who didn't drink, the rest of them were drunk, and they didn't stop until they were drunk.
The next morning, Crick drank the sobriety potion that came with the restaurant and finally got rid of his hangover. After washing up a little, he met the "Underground Warrior" adventurer group.
These four adventurers were not young anymore. Captain Devore, who was the leader, even had some white hair on his temples. But their temperament was quite calm, and their eyes were still sharp, without the slightest sign of aging.
Crick asked the bodyguards to test their strength. These four adventurers were indeed experienced experts. It was obvious that they didn't use their full strength, but they had already firmly suppressed the two bodyguards. Their strength was indeed reassuring.
Of course, compared to their performance, the character attributes given by the system were more reassuring to Crick.
In terms of levels, Devore was level fifteen, Morton and Rhett were level fourteen, and Lafleur was level thirteen. In terms of attributes, all four of them had high attributes, and they weren't as stupid as the two bodyguards, who couldn't find any obvious shortcomings. In terms of loyalty, Devore was seventy, and the other three were sixty-five, which was satisfactory.
When Crick said that as long as everything settled down and they survived this crisis, he could arrange a title for Devore, and even a village as a fief. Devore's loyalty had skyrocketed to ninety, and the other three's loyalty had also increased by ten points. They could completely be used as a reliable team.
With the help of such a group of experts, Crick finally had full confidence in surviving the crisis before him.
