Chapter 4 Dancer on the tip of the knife, Mask ()

One day in October 1402, Shrek City Business District Boulevard.

The Boulevard is located next to Lord Avenue and is also one of the famous commercial streets in Jinglan Continent. It mainly sells Godzilla's specialties and various tameeded monsters.

However, there are not all kinds of Warcraft stores on the Boulevard. In the middle of the Boulevard, there is also a disc-shaped building. This special building is the Shrek Branch of the Adventurers Guild.

The Adventurers Guild of the Paradise Alliance is a more powerful force than the three empires combined. The main combatants and mercenaries who fight against the chaos camp are under the jurisdiction of the Adventurers Guild. The twelve member states of the Alliance are only responsible for managing two million special troops and five million ordinary soldiers equivalent to mercenaries.

The sign of the Adventurer Guild is the crossed sword and staff, which means that only force can protect humans. The Adventurer Guild's greatest responsibility is to lead the Heaven Alliance against the Chaos Legion.

The Adventurer Guild has two branches: the Professional Guild and the Mercenary Guild. The Professional Guild is an institution that manages the fourteen combat professions of the Paradise Alliance, which is mainly responsible for evaluating whether the Warriors can advance and the daily management of the Warriors. The mysterious altar that uses soul energy to exchange equipment is located in the Professional Guild in the Five Adventurers City. The symbol of the Professional Guild is a bent arm, which means that the Warriors are the guardian god of humanity.

In addition, the fourteen types of warriors have exclusive badges, composed of two parts, the numbers above and the patterns below. The numbers represent the ranks of warriors, and the patterns represent the profession of warriors. The fourteen types of representative professions are: the scepter of the Templar, the skull of the Necromancer, the crossed bow and spear of the Amazon, the lightning, ice and fire of the mage, the wolf head of the druid, the claw of the assassin, the mountain of the barbarian, the swordsman surrounded by the long sword of the flame, the crossed bow and scimitar of the ranger, the elemental master wrapped around the rocks of the flames and ice, the dagger of the killer's blood dripping, the demon head of the demon, the angel wings of the priest, and the trident of the judge's trident entangled with lightning.

Mercenary Guild is an institution that manages mercenaries and is responsible for training mercenaries. The mercenary hiring and firing mercenaries must also be carried out in the mercenary guild. The badge of the mercenary guild is a spread out contract.

Similarly, the ten types of mercenaries in the Heaven Alliance also have exclusive badges. Mercenary badges are also composed of two parts, representing the number of ranks and patterns representing the types of mercenaries. The ten types of mercenaries representing mercenaries are: the bow of the Roger Archer, the spear of the spear of the spear, the ice of the Iron Wolf Mage, the battle axe of the barbarian mercenaries, the bone claws of the bone mercenaries (necromancers), the bear head of the Ranger (druid), the trap of the hunter (assassin), the shield of the sword shield (demon swordsman), the double sword of the sword dancer (ranger), and the hawkeye of the scout (killer).

Mercenaries are actually warriors who fail to take office. Compared with warriors, mercenaries can only have no more than five skills and cannot advance to legends. In addition, after the elemental master and mage fail to take office, they are both Iron Wolf mages, while the priest, judge knight, and magician fail to take office will be destroyed... The power of angels and demons cannot be controlled by anyone.

Like all Adventurers Guilds in the Paradise Alliance, the Adventurers Branch of Shrek City will never lack powerful warriors, loyal mercenaries and beautiful entertaining girls.

The great man who set up the Adventurer Guild was unique and built the Adventurer Hall, which released the mission, into a bar. This tradition gradually spread to all parts of the Paradise League as the Adventurer Guild expanded.

In the noisy hall, every round table was filled with various warriors, holding the wine provided by the Adventurers Guild for free to chat and laugh loudly. Behind them were expressionless mercenaries.

A small number of warriors gathered before the task release card to find a task that suits them.

In the Paradise Alliance, the warriors not only go to the four fortress cities of Roger Camp, Rugain, Kurast, Harrogas, and the order camp, which is the stronghold in the void, fight against the hell demons. In the adventurers guilds of various kingdoms, they complete various tasks by hunting monsters, which is also a good way of cultivation. Perhaps this will increase their strength slowly, and it is impossible to harvest the soul energy of hell creatures, but their lives are guaranteed.

You should know that in the four adventurers cities and demon fortresses, dozens of warriors are killed every day, and there are many legendary masters who have just seen the laws. For many people, living is more important than honor and responsibility.

At some point, a man in a mask appeared in the Adventurer's Hall and attracted a lot of attention in a few breaths.

The man had short golden hair as dazzling as the sun and eyes of the same color. His steps were slow but powerful. Every step he took was like a drumstick, hitting heavily in everyone's heart.

From the man's chin and lips that were not covered by the mask, it can be seen that he is not old and is probably not an adult. He is not tall, but very well-proportioned. His bare arms have strong muscles but not exaggerated. His armor is also a very ordinary magic leather armor, which is damaged in many places.

Compared with the worn leather armor, the young man's lateral back has a cold luster, making people unquestionably sharp. Moreover, the sword exudes a faint golden luster, which is actually a rare legendary weapon.

In the Paradise Alliance, those who can possess legendary weapons are either senior thugs supported by the big family or well-known warriors. No matter which type of person they are, they should not be so bad, wearing an almost scrap armor.

However, many warriors in the hall quickly ignored the young man's embarrassment and were attracted by his mask. This mask is exquisite and unique, perfectly blended with the outline of the young man's face, showing a hideous monster's face vividly. What made the warriors even more tremble was that this mask was made of jade iron, a rare metal that is said to be able to block all means of peeping.

The market price of jadeite iron is 100 gold coins per gram, but the supply is still in short supply. A mask costs 500 grams of jadeite iron. 50,000 gold coins are enough to buy a low-end legendary armor. In other words, in order to hide his identity, this young man didn't care that he looked like a beggar. This alone can arouse the interest of warriors.

However, most warriors only saw the figure of young people, and showed a mouse's expression when they saw the cat. They lowered their noble heads and drank with their heads in huddle, as if the young people were just a ball of air. However, the bar girls who were shuttled among warriors were like fishy cats, and they all tacitly left behind the guests who were greeting and surrounded the young people.

The sound in the hall instantly lowered several levels, which also made several warriors who looked at the young people look at each other in curiously. However, they knew in their hearts that this situation must be related to the young people.

A childish magic swordsman pulled a blonde waitress with a hurry, stuffed a copper coin into the waitress's tender little hand, pinched it, and asked, "Who is he?"

"You mean that adult?"

After weighing the copper coins in his hand, the waitress with a stinky face immediately turned into a smile, "That adult is a seven-star adventurer mask, with outstanding strength, and the mission completion rate is 100%.

"Seven-Star Adventurer?"

The other three warriors sitting with the Demon Swordsman are naturally part of the same team. Among them, the middle-aged druid, who is obviously the captain, frowned and said with a faint contempt, "Seven-star adventurers are rare, but this is not the reason why he is afraid, right?"

Adventurers are the general term for warriors and mercenaries, divided into nine levels. Adventurers' levels are represented by metal stars, copper stars are represented by level one, two, and three, silver stars are represented by four, five, and six, and Venus stars are represented by seven**. Therefore, stars are generally used to call adventurers. Seven-star adventurers are level seven adventurers. This level is impossible to achieve without completing nearly a thousand tasks.

In the Heaven Alliance, it is not difficult to become a seven-star adventurer, only more than 600 same-star missions. This is also the reason why the druids look down on the mask. The branches of the five major adventure cities, including the Fortress of the Demons, will not release so-called adventure missions. An adventurer who dares not fight against hell creatures, no matter how high the adventurer level is, he is just a coward.

So, what are the abilities of young people to make a large group of high-eyed warriors afraid?

"Sir, this is your first time in Shrek City?" The waitress turned her eyes and asked with a smile.

"Yes. But, what does this have to do with my problem?"

A curious look appeared on the druid's face. It was obvious that the waitress's trick aroused his curiosity.

"A year ago, the Allen Kingdom Lightning Academy sent an exchange group to fight with the students of the Kingdom Academy and win all five battles. We were defeated in fair competitions, and we, Godzillas, had nothing to say. Who made us worse than others?"

The waitress showed a look of anger on her beautiful face, "But those bastards who should kill Thousand Knife actually said that Godzilla's men were not as energetic as Allen's women!"

The waitress's anger turned into longing, and her light golden eyes also became watery, which made the young magic swordsman's throat roll obviously a few times. "At this time, under the guarantee of the guild, Mask Lord was like a hero who saved the world in a knight novel, riding a mighty dragon, wearing silver armor, falling from the sky, challenging the exchange group of Lightning Academy... Mask Lord was useless even in skills, and just gestured a few times, and beat all the five arrogant guys into pig heads! Those bastards can only get out with their tails in their arms!"

There is obviously an exaggeration in the waitress's words. If the Mask is really a Dragon Knight, will the students of Lightning Academy still have the courage to fight? However, it is not easy for the Mask to lose five fighters in a row without using skills.

"Masked Master is not only outstanding in strength, but also has a strong backstage."

The waitress glanced at the druid, saw that he had no impatient expression, and continued, "Six months ago, several arrogant warriors insisted on taking off their masks and were severely scolded by the mask. A few days later, the warriors gathered nearly a hundred adventurers to surround the masks."

A sly smile appeared on the corner of the waitress's mouth, "Sir, how did Mask get out?"

"Oh? How did he get out?"

The druid is not the magic swordsman who just debuted. He thought that a few copper coins could dispel these entertaining girls whose beauty was proportional to greed. An exquisite cloth bag fell heavily on the wooden table, making a crisp metallic impact.

The waitress's eyes lit up, and she stuffed her wallet into her plump cleavage at the speed of a warrior ashamed, and continued, "Sir, you don't know that we, the lowly bar girls, were worried at that time. The Mask Lord was generous and kind to us, the miserable women, and never took advantage of us! Last time I just served a glass of wine for the Mask Lord, and he rewarded me with a gold coin! Another time, I was for the Mask Lord..."

Another heavy purse fell on the table, interrupting the waitress's endless praise for the mask. The waitress stopped when she saw it was good and hurriedly turned to the topic of interest to this adventurer team. The girl knew that although the high-ranking warriors would not care about small people like her, if they blindly asked for it, they would have countless ways to make themselves worse than death.

"Masked Lord Masked just smiled contemptuously in the face of nearly a hundred adventurers, and then knocked the leading killer away with a charge."

A hint of yearning appeared on the bar girl's face, "The Masked Lord is flying with his sword, seven in and seven out of the adventurer, killing him so hard that he flows into a river of blood..."

The bar girl was polite, but the druid knew that at least seven of these were fake. To fight one hundred? I'm afraid that the legendary warriors do not have the strength. However, at most, they are only twenty years old when they look at the mask. They can use the fourth-level Templar skill to charge?

The druids do not doubt the eyes of bar girls. They are often more vicious than those of warriors who can work in the Adventurers Guild.

Could it be the relationship between that sword? The Druid's heart moved and his eyes looked at the Mask standing alone in front of the mission release card, which was even more intense.

"It's a pity that Mask Lord is strong, but he is not the opponent of nearly a hundred adventurers. Just when Mask Lord retreated, our president appeared with the Judgment Knight, expelling those adventurers who besieged Mask Lord on the grounds of disturbing order."

Speaking of this, the bar girl paused for several seconds. They were good at observing words and expressions, giving these warriors time to digest.

The Judgment Knight who is responsible for cleaning up the fallen warriors? The president took action himself? What is that mask that can make the Adventurers Guild protect him so much?

The druid felt cold in his heart, and the idea of ​​knocking on the stick immediately disappeared without a trace.

"This is not the end."

Seeing the proud druid showing a fearful expression, the bar girl continued to siege his confidence. "Three days later, seven adventurers leading the siege of Mask were hung on the top of Shrek City. All adventurers involved in the siege of Mask were found dead in the Wolf Forest outside the city."

So cruel!

The druid felt a deep chill spread to his entire body instantly. The warriors can fight big or small in private, and the Adventurers Guild has already come forward. I wish those adventurers who are besieging the Mask will never cause trouble for the Mask as long as they are not too stupid.

But they were all dead! This must have been done by the person behind the mask! His identity must be very sensitive! No wonder he had to wear an jade iron mask.

You can't offend him! The druid finally came to this conclusion.

"Hmph! He actually dares to fight against the counterfeit master! He doesn't urinate and reflect on his virtues!"

After the adventurer team left, the blonde waitress looked at their backs and said disdainfully.

The contempt at the corner of the waitress's mouth soon turned into deep joy. She carefully opened the two purses, and the dazzling golden light immediately shook her eyes.

"Sixteen copper coins...ha! Thirty silver coins!"
Chapter completed!
