Chapter 185 Business Opportunities
Fortunately, there is no Holy Light Church in Sot City, otherwise these clergy would be able to see the clues at a glance, and they would inevitably capture Nasica and "purify" them.
After several months, Mark and Seer must have completed their mission and returned to the stronghold. I believe that the news of losing Sali during this period was also very nervous. Gu Cheng didn't know if Merlin and Ailo were making any work on the Nether Black Iron, so after returning to Sort City, the three of them returned to the oath's stronghold as soon as possible.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mark and Seer sitting in the hall, frowning.
"Sir Father!"
"Sari!"
As soon as he saw Sali, Mark became very happy. He said excitedly: "I didn't see you after returning to the stronghold. We quickly went to the Mercenary Association to ask, but we learned that you did not accept any tasks at all, and we left the city without registering with the association. Where are you going? Do you know that we are very worried about you!"
"Father, we..."
Sali was about to explain her experience during this period, but was interrupted by Gu Cheng and said, "No, the leader of the group, we took on the mission in the Mercenary Association and registered. Could it be that old man from the association and forgot it again?"
"Oh? Are you going to do the mission?"
Gu Cheng said firmly: "Of course, we have taken on several tasks."
As he said that, Gu Cheng took out several "reward lists" from his arms and put them on the table one by one. Mark and Seer stretched their heads and took a look. Be good, these seven or eight reward tasks are all "big tasks" for small mercenaries like Yu Yi!
"Level D-level bounty mission, obtain 10 skeleton spines."
"Level D-level reward mission, get 10 Stoneman's Hearts."
"Level D-level reward mission..."
"Level D-level reward mission..."
"Level D-level reward mission..."
"Level D-level reward mission..."
In addition to the six D-level reward tasks, there are several lower-level C-level "bounty tasks" in these reward lists to find the tomb of the undead mage.
"You said you've done all this?" Seer was stunned and looked disbelief.
Gu Cheng said "a little proud": "Of course, oh, by the way, let me introduce it. This is Miss Nasica, a senior warlock. Thanks to Miss Nasica."
"Hello."
Nasica walked forward and nodded slightly to Mark, Seer and others.
"Hello!" The two of them nodded blankly to show their goodwill.
Advanced Warlock?
When the two heard this, they were a little shocked. For the little mercenaries, even if they were just a more common profession such as level 40-level advanced force battle, sensitive control, or force battle, they were also a very powerful existence, let alone a rare speller, and the rarest sorcerer among spellers.
Of course, this is also the difference between the surface world and the underground world. The surface world is more professions like warriors, agile controls, and assassins. Except for some magic apprentices, advanced magicians have higher status than ordinary professions. In the underground world, the opposite is true, because most of them are evil creatures and undeads, they are born with some undead magic, such as the vanguard's nihilization, heart control, etc. Therefore, in the underground world, the most common professions are assassins, assassins, and more are undead mages and sorcerers.
So Mark and Seer were so surprised by the identity of Nasica's advanced warlock.
As a result, before the two of them recovered from their shock, Gu Cheng threw another bombshell: "Miss Nasica said she was very interested in our mercenary group, had joined us, and was now a member of our oath."
"What!?" Mark was not only surprised, but more excited. If the Vow could welcome a high-level warlock, it would undoubtedly be great news and would be very beneficial to the development after the Vow. As long as the news of the Vow was spread, there would be a large number of magic apprentices and low-level warriors to apply for joining the regiment.
The five of them talked about their experiences all morning. Most of the time, Gu Cheng was narrating their experiences. However, Mark and the other two were very interested in Gu Cheng's random fabrication experience. It was not until their stomachs started to roar and Sali and Nasica went to prepare lunch that they stopped the "storytelling" conference. In fact, Gu Cheng was not all "storytelling". Naturally, he could not tell the trip to the land of sinking, so he packaged the story of how he leveled up with a group of people in the game in the novice area of Sort City. Although Sali didn't understand why Gu Cheng didn't tell the truth, she felt relieved when she thought of Gu Cheng's identity, so she didn't say a word, but instead became the one who listened to the story.
In the afternoon, Mark and Seer took the magic storage scroll and bounty task list "changed" by Nasica to submit the task to the Mercenary Association. These tasks were indeed tasks that Gu Cheng took before. He considered that there were indeed these bounty items in the lower-level areas of the Mystery Labyrinth and the Desolation Land, and took them at the same time. He thought of helping the mercenary group get some points to spare.
He did not intend to inform Mark of his identity. After all, Mark was devoted to his mercenary group, and his strength was not very good. Joining himself would have to drag him down. Since this is the case, it would be better to help him and let him continue to immerse himself in building his own mercenary group, so that he could take Sali to do his own things in the name of completing the task.
After telling Sali about this meaning, Sali also agreed that Gu Cheng's "career" is not only difficult, but also dangerous. A small mercenary like Mark not only cannot help, but may also drag him down and even die because of it. So letting him stay in Sort City to create a vow and take on small tasks around him for nothing is the best choice.
During the few days of rest at the base, Gu Cheng asked Nasica to go out to inquire about Merlin and Elor. He learned that both of them had returned to their respective towns, but he still found that they had sent some eyeliners to monitor the oath, but they were not as enthusiastic as before. After all, the fall of the two mercenary groups of Blood Wolf Warriors caused them to lose a lot of money.
On the other hand, after Mark and Seer spread the news that Nasica, the senior warlock's oath, had many people who wanted to join the group in the past two days. The two no longer refused to refuse everyone like before. They didn't want to raise a group of ungrateful wolves. The mercenary group ran away as soon as something happened, so after layers of screening, the number of people in the team was expanded to twelve.
On this day, Gu Cheng decided to go to the Chamber of Commerce and Alliance to solve the local funding problems.
Gu Cheng came to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the mercenaries and merchants who came and went to trade were crowded with the hall, and it was very lively. It was naturally not easy to see President Gray directly, but Gu Cheng didn't say there was no way. He squeezed all the way to the potion valuation counter, and Gu Cheng saw Nabik being surrounded by a group of mercenaries. The two sides were arguing fiercely, as if cutting the price of a bottle of potion.
The group of mercenaries was led by a seemingly honest battle. Due to the dispute with Nabik, his face turned red and his mouth flew everywhere, and he shouted: "Nabic, this is the level 3 potion we risked our lives to snatch back from a group of bandits. You actually only gave 1 gold coin!? This is too unscrupulous, right? No! Absolutely not!"
Nabik was shocked by the man's voice and said dissatisfiedly: "Rollos, your fucking little sound, my eardrums are about to be shaken by you! This is a bottle of psychotropic, not a wisdom potion! Do you see any advanced mage who still needs psychotropic? It's not just sold to those priests who lack mental power! There are not many teams that can afford priests, and it's a loss to buy this thing. I'm looking at your old customer, so I'll give you a price of 1 gold coin, and it won't be sold!"
"Damn it!" The mercenary cursed. In fact, he knew the approximate price of this bottle of potion in his heart, and just wanted to gain more benefits for himself. However, Nabik was obviously not a fool, so he had to grit his teeth and nodded, "Sell it, why don't you sell it! If you don't sell it, I'll drink the northwest wind this month! Hurry up, take it and pay!"
Nabik grabbed the potion and threw it into the cabinet, threw a gold coin to the mercenary, then returned to his position, sat crossing his legs, closed his eyes to rest, shouting with great smugness: "Next."
One person walked up and said lightly: "30 rare treasure chests blessed by the beast god, and 5 epic treasure chests blessed by the beast god, priced."
"Ah?" Nabik was so shocked that he fell from the chair. After a while, he climbed up from behind the counter. Only then did he see clearly the person coming and said in surprise: "Ro, Mr. Royce!?"
The next moment, he ran out from behind the counter: "Mr. Reus, you are finally back! We visited you several times in the Vow Mercenary Group, but we learned that you were on a long journey, so we were so anxious!"
"Oh? Is there something to ask me for?"
Nabik scratched his head awkwardly and said nervously: "This, isn't this going to give you the money from the treasure chest blessed by the Beast God last auction? Although the auction lost a lot because of those bastards, our Chamber of Commerce Alliance is not a black store. He has collected the treasure chest blessed by the Beast God. Even if the treasure chest blessed by the Beast God is robbed, the money of the Mr. must be given!"
"Oh, that's it! Then just put the money on my membership card! I'll leave if I have nothing else!" After saying that, Gu Cheng handed over the diamond membership card of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
Nabik said with a sad face: "Mr. Reus... let's not kidding anymore, okay? I'll get you the money right away, but... but... what's the matter with the treasure chest you just mentioned that was blessed by the beast god?"
"Hahaha, Nabik, you are such an appraisal madman!"
Gu Cheng joked that it was not that he was having nothing to do to play with Nabik, but that the last time he asked the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to prepare supplies, it was organized by Nabik. This famous fanatical businessman in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance not only did not tamper with Gu Cheng's supplies, but also chose high-quality products, and added some more weight, which made Gu Cheng very satisfied.
"Don't be anxious for the treasure chests blessed by the Beast God. 30 rare treasure chests blessed by the Beast God, and 10 epic treasure chests blessed by the Beast God. But Nabik... Are your Chamber of Commerce Alliance interested in making a big deal with me?"
"Why?"
Hearing Gu Cheng's inquiry, Nabik was stunned and showed a surprised expression. He widened his eyes with some confusion and stared at the young man in front of him, as if he was thinking about his real idea. If the 30 rare treasure chests blessed by the beast god and the 10 epic treasure chests blessed by the beast god are temporarily put aside, it is not considered a big deal, then what can be considered a big deal?
In the end, Nabik still couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked subconsciously: "What business?"
“A business route.”
"Ah!???Business route!!?"
Hearing this, Nabik almost trembled his legs and sat on the ground. Fortunately, he quickly held the counter next to him, and his body just shook and barely stood up straight. But even so, Nabik's eyes were still widening, as if they were about to fall out of his eye sockets.
No wonder Nabik was so excited. The commercial route is more valuable than "life" to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. A successful commercial route was made by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance with the blood and money of warriors. For example, the Warlan Business Road opened by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance branch of Dutan City and the Light Source Camp in the Vallan Wasteland. At that time, Thunder City not only dispatched three regiments of knights and heavy shield soldiers, but also countless mercenaries hired by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which took two years to "clear" the business road. But at the same time, the Warlan Business Road also brought countless wealth to the Dutan City branch and Thunder City.
However, it was not easy to open a business road. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance branch of Sort City also used this brain to join forces with Sort City, open up the barren land and the Thousand Needle Stone Forest Trading Road, and open up a commercial route to Gakisen, the capital of the Thousand Needles Goblin. Unfortunately, Sort City is not as good as Thunder City. Except for the financial resources of Durotan, its military strength is far less than that of Durotan. Even though it hired a large number of mercenaries, the business road was not cleared out.
However, even so, many chamber of commerce alliance branches are still flocking to commercial routes. Because of this, trade between many cities is more prosperous. However, the dangers of locations between many cities are higher than the benefits. There are too many monks and less porridge, and almost all commercial routes that can be developed have been developed. There are still a large number of chamber of commerce alliance branches that do not have their own commercial routes, and Sot City is one of them.
Of course, Nabik knew Gu Cheng's background and he was very capable, but his background was only in Sot City after all. The battle situation of the burning plains almost temporarily interrupted the trade between the Durotan Principality and the light source camp. After all, both sides had to face the invasion from the Ancient Flame at the same time, and it was impossible to send extra people to open up commercial routes. What's more, opening a business road under the eyelids of the Ancient Flame is the difference between throwing money into a fire pit.
