Chapter 04 The Marquis of Jiayong
Huaores, Blue Ape Mercenary Group.
People come and go in front of the mercenary group. As the most famous A-level mercenary group in the border area, Blue Ape's mercenary business has been very busy for months.
But careful employers will still find that under the cover of busy business, the mercenary group is filled with anxiety, especially the senior executives of the mercenary group have rarely appeared recently.
In the mercenary group meeting hall, Joan, Huey, Moral, Aretha and others who were not showing up were all present, but the atmosphere in the room was a bit low.
Arthur has been missing for nearly two months, and no information has been transmitted from the guardian side of the Star and Moon. Arthur is now in a state of ignorance of life and death.
The first worry started with Aretha. She experienced the explosion and knew that it was Arthur who detonated the magic circle. At the center of the explosion, even the powerful Martial Saints could not survive, and Arthur's who were in the magic circle were likely to be annihilated.
After spending two years together day and night, Aretha can no longer tell whether she regarded Arthur as a relative or another Cairns? She lost her closest relatives again, and Aretha even secretly shed tears when there was no one.
Aretha's emotions also led to Alia, Joan and others. The longer Arthur disappeared, the more hope of survival became, and sad emotions were transmitted to each other.
Today, everyone gathered here to discuss something else, but as soon as they sat down, the atmosphere became heavy, and Alia's eyes began to turn red.
"Don't be like holding a memorial service for Arthur, that kid won't die so easily." Sino's mentality was relatively relaxed.
"I also think Arthur is fine. He wants to accompany me to enter the Palace of Light." Qiong also stood up to comfort everyone, but there was always a sense of disconfidence in his voice.
"You guys can only talk at critical moments. It's not a solution for us to wait forever. Please discuss the next thing. I'm going to go to the guardian of Xingyue to ask about this matter." Aretha said, then stood up and walked straight out of the door.
Before Aretha reached the door, the door was pushed open from outside. Arthur's head followed, "It seems that the master's wife is still thinking about me!"
"Where have you died during this period?" Aretha unexpectedly kicked out, and Arthur stepped into the house with one leg, and his whole body flew out like a shell.
Arthur naturally came from the depths of the East China Sea. The abandoned people of the sea tribe who had been trapped in the deep sea for a long time could not resist the temptation of trade with the outside world. The patriarch Sarri accepted Arthur's invitation to cooperate, but he did not realize that Arthur was completely under the name of the guardian of the stars and moons. The guardian of the stars and moons really looked down on the value of such a small group.
Arthur was also invited by the Surrey patriarch to stay on the island for a few days and found some interesting things on the island.
These abandoned people of the sea tribe no longer recognize that they are the sea tribe, but call themselves the sea tribe. This name is appropriate. In addition, the sea tribe is full of soldiers, and every adult tribe can cultivate the strength of the warrior at least, and can practice both martial arts and magic of the two tribes. Arthur even discovered that tribes with the talent of fire magic, which is almost impossible in the pure sea tribe.
It just so happened that there were many medium and low-level human martial arts and magic books in Arthur's bracelet, so they were simply taken out and left to the Seaman. The things Arthur took out were treasures for the isolated Seaman. The Sarri leader took out a large amount of coral, crystal and water-based magic materials accumulated in the clan to give them back to Arthur.
The Seaman has accumulated a large number of treasures in the sea over the years. These things are not of great value to them, but as long as they get every piece on the mainland, they can be sold at a high price. Arthur took out all the things that are useful to the Seaman in the handband and replaced them with these treasures in the sea.
Arthur accidentally opened another trade channel, and the things he exchanged for this trip to the Seaman race were almost equivalent to the income from cross-racial trade for a few half a year.
The sea people had naval charts in nearby waters and compass for finding ways at sea. After the two sides agreed on the next direction of cooperation, Arthur flew back to the mainland.
But I didn't expect that I was kicked away by Aretha as soon as I entered the door.
"Woman, you're so fickle!" Arthur stood up while rubbing his chest. Although Aretha's kick just now was quite powerful, she didn't bring any fighting spirit, so she couldn't even be considered a minor injury.
As soon as Arthur stood up, a figure rushed over and Arthur was thrown to the ground again.
This time it was Alia who knocked down Arthur. Alia hugged Arthur and started crying.
Arthur patted Alia on the back, "Stop crying, be laughed at by others."
Only then did Alia realize that she was in the yard at this time. Alanni and the Ten Princess were all watching from the side in amazement. Alia, who had blushed, got up and ran out directly.
Arthur slapped the soil on his body a few times, and looked at everyone around him with a chuckle, "Why are you so crowded today? Do you guess I'm going to come back today?"
"We are all waiting to celebrate for you!" Qiong looked at Arthur with a smile.
"What are you celebrating?" Arthur was a little strange by Joan's expression.
"You'd better go into the house and see it yourself."
As soon as Arthur entered the room, Moral smiled and handed over an exquisite scroll.
Arthur couldn't help but scold him as soon as he spread the scroll, "Strech was so mean!"
The scroll in Arthur's hand was the order of King Strech, who was promoted to Marquis of Jiayong, and his fief was three thousand miles east of the Great Rift Valley.
With Arthur's cleverness, he instantly guessed Strach's intention, which was to let him guard the border for the kingdom. His fief was at the junction of the defense zone between the two field legions of Fengxue and Frost Thunder. Once a war broke out, it was just right to resist the first wave of attacks of the orcs.
"Congratulations to Marquis Jiayong, I will be strongly supported by the Marquis in the future!" Moral saluted seriously next to him.
Arthur frowned and ignored him.
Aretha responded from the side: "The chief servant of the servant who came to reward arrived at Huaores a month ago. Because you can't wait for you, you will put the king's orders in the mercenary group and leave a message to tell you that His Majesty Strech hopes that the Marquis will rush to the fiefdom as soon as possible and be careful to guard against the orc attacks."
"The orcs plan to invade again?"
Aretha smiled and said, "Don't you know the trouble you caused yourself? It was because you killed Elliot's youngest son in Mirage Crater that the old lion was desperate to start the war again."
At this moment, Arthur finally understood why Strach pushed him in front to hit the thunder.
"We were planning to discuss how to deal with this before you came back. Now that you are back, you decide whether to fight or escape, right?"
Arthur's eyes swept towards Joan and Huey, and the only one in the crowd was missing. "Time flies so fast. Eight years have passed since the days when we were exploring the Orcs' wasteland. It's time to have another good fight with the Orcs!"
