"What?"
The wand heard the count's words clearly, but he wasn't sure if the lord of a city … would personally ask him to stay.
"I hope you can settle down in this city. Of course, I'll provide you with a place to stay, whether it's an alchemy workshop or a manor like this." Count Nicarton paused for a moment before adding, "Of course, I'll also pay you accordingly."
A free house! Not just an ordinary house, but a manor and an alchemy workshop!
The wand felt like he was flying in the sky just by hearing these two words. Back in his hometown in the Iron Nation, he still lived in an ordinary collective apartment!
A manor and an alchemy workshop could only be possessed in his dreams.
But now? The wand seemed to be able to live in the big house of his dreams with just a nod of his head. Not to mention settling down here, he could even bring his entire family over.
But …
"What can I do for you, Count?" The wand knew his own abilities. Although he was an apprentice in the Wizard Tower of Noland, and could barely be considered as a talented wizard apprentice, there were countless of such apprentices in Noland.
However, there were countless apprentices like him in Norland, and the title of genius was too far away from him. Besides, he was just an apprentice, not the kind of spell caster or alchemist who could take charge of an area on his own.
What was the point of a noble lord spending so much effort to recruit him with such poor qualifications?
"I heard from Miss Hemina that you're a guild member of the Scarlet Serpent in the World Scar?" Count Nicarton asked.
Hemina! How dare you betray me!
The wand glanced at Hemina, who was sitting on the other side of the table. She didn't notice the wand's gaze at all. Instead, she was still using the mouse to watch the live broadcast in the Mana Network Vision.
"Hemina too."
The wand could only nod in acknowledgment. Although this was his identity in the game, it was something he could boast about.
"The Scarlet Serpent Guild seems to be the top guild in this world. Today, I took a look around a dungeon called the Dark Mines. What do they call it? Their names are always ranked second on the Hero Stone Tablet," Count Nicanton said.
"We've been competing with the other guilds for a ranking on the Hero's Stele. The Dark Mines have been a Dungeon for a very long time. Recently, we've been trying to clear the Molten Core as quickly as possible."
Wand no longer seemed so timid when talking about the World Scar, and his back was much straighter.
"This also proves that your character is one of the strongest in the game?"
Count Nicanton asked Hemina a lot of questions about the World Scar before talking to the wand.
"I'm not the strongest. I can only say that I'm at the top."
Wand wanted to proudly proclaim that his guild was the strongest, but he did not have the confidence to do so.
It had been close to a month since the World Scar's open beta. The Hero's Monument was the most direct measure of a guild's strength.
Currently, the Fuya Adventurer Team was still ranked first on the Molten Core's Hero Stone Tablet, although the Scarlet Serpent had snatched the first position from them a few times.
Not long after, the Fuya Adventurer Team would set a new dungeon clearing time to suppress the Scarlet Serpent.
Now, the Scarlet Serpent was in danger of losing the second position. After all, there were many powerful guilds in the World Scar.
"Master of the Short Tentacle Wand, your Priest is a hundred times more powerful than anyone else in this city. This is what I need."
Count Nicanton glanced at his Level 18 Dwarf Warrior, which he had spent the whole morning to raise by two levels.
If he wanted to level up to level 60, Count Nicanton could not imagine how long it would take.
Not to mention, from Hemina's description, the real start of the game was only after reaching the maximum level.
The Hero's Instance Dungeon and equipment forging gave Count Nicanton a headache.
This also made him realize how important it was to have a character that could clear the Hero's Instance Dungeon.
"You hired me because of your king's … new law?"
Wand remembered that his son was still discussing a strange law that was also related to the World Scar last night.
"No, yesterday's nightmare might reappear again."
Count Nicaton said something that made the short-tentacled wand want to escape the city as soon as possible.
"It will reappear … Then … where did those monsters come from?"
Wand could use his character to kill the monsters in his nightmare, but that did not mean that he dreamed of those monsters every day.
"I can't tell you the details, but they will come again. Although it sounds ridiculous, if we want to defeat those monsters in our dreams, we can only rely on the characters in this game."
Count Nicanton still could not believe what he had experienced last night, but it was the reality.
He was a Merfolk, a Merfolk who knew the reason why their king, Berchemont, was seriously ill. He also knew that his enemies might be the Dark Elves who had occupied their holy land.
The Dark Elves would not let this matter rest so easily.
"That's why you let them create characters in the World Scar?"
Wand looked at the garden behind him. There was a pendant in the middle of every long table. The leaves of the World Tree were sealed in the pendants.
These pendants were originally treasures that Count Nicanton had given to his son. Now, he took them out for his servants and guards to use, so that they could connect to the magic net and create characters in the World Scar.
"I have too few leaves, and they only played for half a day. Even if I stop their work and let them train in the World Scar, it will probably take a long time for them to reach the maximum level."
Count Nicanton seemed to be not used to the various terms in the World Scar. Wand glanced at his magic net interface, which showed that his character was only Level-20.
"I need stronger characters to resist the invasion of those monsters, such as your priest, Wand," he said.
"I …" Wand was silent for a while after hearing Count Nicanton's invitation. He really did not have the courage to continue fighting those monsters, not to mention the possibility of appearing in such battlefields often in the future.
But he could not refuse Count Nicanton's offer.
"I need to think about it."
Count Nicanton agreed to Wand's request. As soon as Wand finished his conversation with Count Nicanton, the second daughter of the Count, Cecil, stood in front of him.
"What's the matter?" Wand subconsciously took a step back. Nobles were divided into those who were easy to talk to and those who were not. This noble lady was undoubtedly the difficult one.
