The power of the Divine Blood was very terrifying. It was not easy for Jojo to suppress it for so many years.
Ma Wen knew this well. It was impossible to completely suppress the power of the Divine Blood. He had to find a way to steadily guide it out.
He knew a master who was the most suitable to be Jojo's mentor, but time was running out. The Dark Party would probably come soon.
It was better to lie low for now.
Ma Wen handed Jojo and Barbara to the Wood Elves. They were quite influential in the City of Ruins. With the spells of the Wood Elves, it was not difficult for them to temporarily cover up the aura of the Divine Blood.
Although the Wood Elves looked at Jojo and Barbara with disgust, since it was Ma Wen's idea, they could only accept it.
Ma Wen settled the two of them down, promised to pick them up in a few days, and left the place where the Wood Elves were.
…
The next evening, in the east of the City of Ruins.
A group of people was gathering.
When Ma Wen arrived, the people of the Tarantula Mercenary Corps were already there. The rest of the experts arrived at about the same time.
To Ma Wen's surprise, the Tarantula Mercenary Corps found a lot of experts this time!
There was actually a Grade 4 expert of the same level as him. It was a female Warlock who seemed to have come from Stony Mountain.
As for the rest, they were all Grade 3 experts. In a ruin exploration of this level, Grade 3 professionals were the backbone of the force.
The leader and two deputy leaders of the Tarantula Mercenary Corps were all Grade 4 experts. Bull, the Barbarian Warrior who was in charge of the external expert test yesterday, was the only Grade 3 deputy leader.
The entire Tarantula Mercenary Corps had about 30 people, all fully armed. Including the external experts, the number was close to 40. In this City of Ruins, they could be considered a force.
"When do we start?"
One of the external experts was obviously a little impatient. He was naked from the waist up, and a decent two-handed sword was at his side.
A Grade 3 Barbarian Warrior. Ma Wen only needed a glance to know where the other party came from.
He had the same profession as Diafis, the leader of the Akron Mafia that he killed in River Beach City. However, this guy called Hei Lok was even stronger!
He was as muscular as a barbarian. But then again, the Barbarian Warrior was originally a melee profession created by humans after studying the body structure and training methods of the Barbarians.
"We still need to wait for two more people. Let's wait for another ten minutes. "
A Tarantula vice-captain said softly.
This was a rare sorceress.
Generally speaking, most Wizards in this era were very rich. Very few Wizards would appear among adventurers. They were all in Wizard Towers.
This Sorceress had contributed a lot to the Tarantula Mercenary Team's reputation in the City of Ruins.
No one knew where Raymo, the leader of the Tarantula, found such a Grade 4 Sorceress.
However, for Ma Wen and the other adventurers, having a Quasi-Legendary wizard in their team meant that the exploration of the ruins would be much safer and simpler.
After all, before the Cataclysm, wizards had always been the strongest profession.
…
"Looks like they don't know much about Saluha. They didn't bring any mages from the Silver Church."
"Do they think that Saluhari only has cold automatons?"
Ma Wen secretly shook his head.
In Saluha, the strongest were still the dark spirits!
There were two Darkspirit Messengers here, but they had nothing to do with Di Gaogeng.
They were the subordinates of the second Darkspirit World Monarch, Tidomas!
These two Darkspirit Messengers were quite powerful. They should also have the strength of a Quasi-Legendary. They had been trying to control the automatons here. However, with their wisdom, it was impossible to control the automatons created by the ancient goblins. Both sides had been in a state of chaos.
In short, Saluhari should also be in a state of chaos.
The dark spirits and automatons each occupied half of the territory. It all depended on which side the entrance to the ruins was.
…
With nothing to do, Ma Wen began to recall the Saluha in his memory.
Ma Wen vaguely remembered that Saluha was actually an oval underground space. The oval was divided into five parts, and in the middle was a huge pillar. Countless chains were wrapped around the pillar, slowly rotating day and night.
In the pillar, there was the crystallization of the ancient goblins' highest wisdom!
It was a small launcher. Underneath it was high explosives and compressed air sacs.
Back then, the crazy ancient goblins were no longer satisfied with the altitude of the hot air balloon. They tried to rush to the higher sky, the celestial kingdom, and Saluha was just one of their experimental bases.
In the beginning, it was actually a place similar to a [Rocket Launch Base]. Those automatons were either guards or manufacturing types, not combat types.
After the fall of the Goblin Empire, this place was gradually abandoned, and then occupied by the dark spirits.
There was a large amount of the wisdom of the goblins here. The mechanical gargoyle blueprint that Ma Wen got from the treasure chest at the back of the Scarlet Monastery paled in comparison.
This was also why Ma Wen immediately chose to join the exploration when he heard that Saluha was born.
If he could find a way to create or even control the automatons, the White River Valley would become even more indestructible.
Automatons were natural soldiers, and they were perfect for guarding the territory.
…
Just as Ma Wen was thinking about this, a figure slowly walked over from afar.
The other party was wearing a cloak, and his speed was not fast, but he gave off a calm feeling.
"It's him?"
Ma Wen was slightly stunned.
Although the cloak was a different color this time and was now green, Marvin could still recognize the person based on his intuition.
Vampire Gerwen!
Ma Wen had met him once in the Scarlet Monastery, and later in the Tulip Castle, Ma Wen even 'robbed' him of a high-grade blood core.
The relationship between the two parties was quite complicated.
They were not enemies, but they were definitely not friends.
The Light Party of the Blood Breeds had always been a rather awkward existence. On the other hand, the Dark Party, because of their firm stand against humanity, Marvin killed them when he saw them. He didn't feel any guilt at all.
As for this Gerwen, Ma Wen did not know how to deal with him.
Especially since the other party was quite pretty. It would be a pity to kill him.
Of course, the above was just Ma Wen mocking himself. The moment he saw Gerwen, he thought more about how to use this guy to get in touch with Grand Duke William.
…
"Alright, Mister Gerwen is here. We're only missing one person."
The female Magus Lilia confirmed Gerwen's identity and smiled happily.
However, when they talked about the last person, Ma Wen noticed that the leaders of the Tarantula all looked uneasy.
"Who's the last one?"
Ma Wen was curious.
The answer was soon revealed.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a black figure appeared in front of everyone with a whoosh.
"I'm sorry, everyone. There were some trivial matters, so I'm late."
"Let's begin."
That person laughed in a low voice.
Ma Wen suddenly gasped, "The Hand of Paleness!"
One of the legendary professions of the Thief!
