In Fernand's world, anything that was related to dragons was extraordinary.
As an existence at the top of the food chain, every giant dragon was extremely destructive. It was difficult for anyone below the legendary rank to deal with these behemoths.
Although the Dragon's Strength potion was not directly related to dragons, it was named after them. Naturally, it was extraordinary.
This potion was actually a general name for a series of potions.
Consuming this potion could greatly increase a series of attributes in a short period of time.
In a critical battle, it could definitely play a decisive role.
Under the careful appraisal of Master Cole and the wizard apprentice, Ma Wen's five wizard gold coins were not spent in vain. He got the most detailed attributes of this potion.
[Dragon's Strength]: For 10 minutes, + 6 Strength, + 4 Agility
This kind of attributes was basically the same as using Peerless. Ma Wen could not imagine how strong he would be after drinking it!
His strength was relatively weak, only 11, but after consuming the Dragon's Strength, his strength would reach as high as 17!
This was completely close to the level of a Grade 2 Warrior!
Not to mention the increase of 4 points of Agility, 24 points of Agility was basically omnipotent. Even on the battlefield, other than stray arrows or area of effect spells, ordinary monsters would not even be able to touch the corner of his clothes!
This bottle of Dragon's Strength potion was completely priceless.
Fortunately, the Ranger Union was quite ethical. Master Cole and the wizard apprentice had probably worked together to appraise many similar potions. Until they left, Ma Wen did not feel any malice from them.
This was also the reason why Ma Wen chose the Ranger Union. After all, it was a formal large organization, and it would not be too chaotic.
If it was Goblin Ben, they would probably have a similar appraiser, but it was unknown whether they would be greedy for money.
…
In the Black Horned Eagle Inn, a list of names was handed to Ma Wen.
"Only 15 people?"
Ma Wen was a little surprised.
He had ordered Anna to recruit about 20 people.
"The high-grade adventurers are too high, and the low-grade adventurers are purely here to cheat money. We don't need them."
"These 15 people are about what we need the most."
"Moreover, the more adventurers there are, the better." Anna explained, "Although they have all signed the contract, if we are too weak, we may not be able to suppress them."
Ma Wen nodded and understood Anna's concerns.
Relying on the strength of the adventurers to recapture the White River Valley might end up being held back by these adventurers.
After all, the strength of the guards was a little weak. If they recruited too many adventurers and allowed them to form a force, it would be very disadvantageous to Ma Wen.
The housekeeper's considerations were very thorough.
However …
"There are warlocks among the Gnolls," Ma Wen said.
"What?" Anna looked surprised. "Warlock? How is this possible? "
"I saw it with my own eyes. I was almost discovered by him. "Ma Wen let out a rare bitter laugh." And they also have a type of mutant aardwolf. Very difficult to deal with. "
"As for the Gnoll warriors themselves, it's not a big problem."
One hundred and fifty Gnoll warriors sounded like a lot, but the human adventurers were all of a higher level than them.
Basically, it wasn't difficult to fight one against two or three. As long as their leader could be killed, their morale would plummet.
However, it was estimated that with the cunning of the Gnoll Warlock, they would definitely hide in a corner during a head-on battle and not be discovered.
Those mutant aardwolves were controlled by him. They either had to find a way to restrain the aardwolves or find a way to destroy the Warlock.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to win.
"About that kind of aardwolf, I killed one when they sneaked up on us before."
Anna frowned and analyzed seriously. "They have no vital points, and my sword couldn't kill them even if it pierced their hearts."
"So …"
Ma Wen hadn't fought the mutant aardwolves yet, so he knew very little about them.
This thing was really difficult to deal with. They were big, fast, lethal, and had no fatal weaknesses.
If a few people were killed by the aardwolves, the guards would be fine, but the adventurers would probably be defeated.
Ma Wen thought about it, grabbed a piece of paper, and wrote down a line of words.
Anna stood quietly next to him, watching Ma Wen skillfully write, and the more she watched, the more surprised she became.
Master Ma Wen … was really a genius!
He actually came up with three ways to restrain the aardwolves in such a short period of time!
It seemed that this period of misfortune had stimulated his potential.
Did it force out his strong and wise side?
Anna thought so in her heart.
"Here, go and prepare according to this. We'll set off in three days. "
Ma Wen said decisively.
"But what about the Warlock?" Anna was still a little worried.
Although Warlocks didn't have as many spells as Wizards, they were also quite a powerful profession.
"I'll take care of it."
Ma Wen said as he picked up the list of adventurers again and looked at it in detail.
… …
There were 15 adventurers in total, consisting of two six-man teams and three solo players.
All 15 of them were grade one adventurers without advanced professions.
Anna was right. Although Ma Wen had some money now, high-grade adventurers often had high prices, so it wasn't worth it.
And if someone too strong joined, Ma Wen was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep the situation under control.
What surprised Ma Wen was that one of the six-man teams was quite famous in River Beach City.
[Thorns].
"This Thorns Team is quite famous among the low-level adventurers. Their leader is a Level-5 Warrior."
As if noticing that Ma Wen's gaze stopped on the six members of the Thorns team, Anna immediately said, "Speaking of which, we're quite lucky."
"With the strength of the Thorns team, they wouldn't be able to hire veterans like them at this price."
"But their leader's daughter happened to have a strange disease that can only be cured by a high-grade priest. They're in urgent need of money and haven't had any big orders recently, so they accepted our mission."
"This team still has some credibility."
Ma Wen nodded.
From this list of 15 people, it could be seen that Anna had put in a lot of effort.
The other six-man team was also quite strong and well-equipped. Although it was a new team, it had a high completion rate in the Adventurer's Union's mission records.
As for the three solo players, they were all very strong. One was a level four Ranger who was proficient in archery, one was a level five Druid who had the form of a brown bear, and one was a rare boxer.
Each of them had a bit of fame in River Beach City. Ma Wen did some calculations. On average, the price paid to the three solo adventurers was the highest.
"There's no problem with this list. We'll leave in three days. Inform Andre and the others and tell them to get ready. "
Ma Wen finally made the decision!
Three days later, they would take back the White River Valley!
"Where's the rendezvous point?" Anna asked.
"Night Tide Inn." Ma Wen mentioned an unexpected location. "When I came back from scouting, I found that the inn was still open."
"Let's rendezvous there."
"You'll be in charge of this operation. I won't go. "
Anna showed a hint of surprise. "You're not going?"
She was a little surprised.
Ma Wen smiled. "Of course I won't go. I'm a weak lord who can't even truss a chicken."
"But Double Blade Mask will go."
Anna completely relaxed and showed a knowing smile.
She was the happiest that Master Ma Wen didn't hide anything from her.
…
Three days later, a day's walk away from River Beach City, Night Tide Inn.
This dilapidated inn was actually a place opened by the nearby farmer, Old Cripple, as a place for people to rest.
After the fall of the White River Valley, there were almost no people on the official road between the valley and River Beach City.
But the Night Tide Inn was still open. Old Cripple had nothing else to do anyway.
As for moving, he wouldn't consider it unless the damned Gnolls rushed over.
But he knew they wouldn't dare. This was River Beach City's territory. If the Gnolls didn't have eyes and attacked, River Beach City's patrols would deal with them.
But tonight, the Night Tide Inn welcomed too many guests!
His hotel could only accommodate twenty people at most. But tonight, there were thirty-six people in total!
Among them was a woman.
But Old Cripple knew the woman. She was the housekeeper of the White River Valley, Lady Anna.
He was busy entertaining more than 30 guests, but his heart was blooming with joy.
But when he was preparing in the kitchen, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the living room!
"Oh no! They wouldn't have cut my ancestral tapestry, would they? "
Old Cripple's heart sank. He could see that it was a group of lawless adventurers. They could do anything.
He hurriedly put down a stack of steamed buns and limped back to the living room.
In the living room, more than 30 people were clearly divided into several factions, coldly confronting each other.
They seemed to be about to fight.
… …
(Finally, it's time to recover the White River Valley! Recovering the territory is just the beginning of the story! It will get more and more exciting! I hope everyone will continue to support me. The public period data is very important! Also, thank you very much for the 1,888 Qidian coins from my book friend Vincent's Qidian account.)
