Chapter 30 Artifacts
The competition along the way is indispensable. Although everyone has received rigorous training in the Dragon Refining Cave, they have not experienced real actual combat. In this regard, these new members of the Wolf Army are not even as good as Linda.
He could not show the real battlefield, so he had to do it through mutual exchanges. Because Linda was a woman and an archer, no one challenged her, but Ruohan was different. Almost every time he camped, he had to fight several battles. Ruohan was also a natural militant. Except for Wang Feng, no one was convinced. These people were facing his spleen and stomach. Moreover, such exchanges were rare opportunities for him to exercise.
Moreover, Wang Feng would give some advice from time to time, which would benefit both parties of the competition. Even the bystanders could learn a lot, so there were more and more such competitions.
Wang Feng also watched with interest and kept lit up any time, as if he had returned to the time of gathering and discussing with the brothers in the Wolf Army camp, and from time to time there was a little melancholy. Only Linda was silently beside him, paying attention to Wang Feng, and quietly accompanying him.
Occasionally, Wang Feng would show some interest in bows and arrows. At this time, Linda was Wang Feng's teacher. Forest elves had amazing talents on bows and arrows that ordinary people could not reach. The bows and arrows were like hands and feet in their hands. The accuracy of archery and the speed of firing arrows made everyone amazed.
Wang Feng also expressed his new interest in weapons and attack martial arts and his superhuman comprehension ability. Although he could not be as proficient as Linda, he also showed outstanding strength.
On the way, he passed many towns and large cities, and completed the qualification procedures for adventurers for Harlem and others, and officially became members of the Wolf Army in the formalities recognized by the official. However, Harlem and others did not have any level, they could only be the first level, and thus, the level of the Wolf Army also returned to the first level.
There was no task in the town, just daily rest. Harlem and others had their own weapons and armor, but no mounts. However, in the current situation, all the horses were controlled by the military, and even the rich caravans transporting goods in the local area could only achieve it through slow heavy-bearing beasts, so it is more difficult to mount now.
Finally, we arrived at the town south of the outer periphery of Tiancheng, and first found a place to rest and settle down, and then slowly inquire about Tiancheng and Linda Chuck's home. However, when everyone saw the logo of their first-level mercenary group, everyone smiled with contempt and did not further communicate with them. After all, even on the outer periphery of Tiancheng, many advanced adventurers were waiting for any new tasks or opportunities, not to mention junior personnel like them.
A kind mercenary pointed them in a way to the Adventurers union, but he just told them in an admonishing tone that they should go to other smaller places to find opportunities. Wang Feng refused his kindness. Harlem paid attention to it and the mercenary was actually at level 26.
Because of the expensive entry fee, Wang Feng left the others in Nancheng and only brought Linda Ruohan and Harlem into Tiancheng. Then he saw the big market in Tiancheng.
In fact, Wang Feng still misread Tiancheng. What he saw was only some low-level markets. In the center of Tiancheng, there was also a region where wealthy businessmen and nobles lived together, which was the place where the real super rich and high-end markets were circulated.
The Adventurers Union is right next to this area, a huge house. There are also taverns and other things inside. Many mercenaries are sitting in it and drinking slowly, waiting for the mission.
Seeing Wang Feng and others coming in, some people looked up and saw their mercenary signs. Several people even shook their heads before turning their eyes to other places. Several staff members even glanced sideways and said, "What should we do."
It seems that this is really not a place where ordinary adventurers can come. Wang Feng didn't care about these visions. After all, his level is not high, so this attitude is natural.
This is just a place for the mercenaries to rest, and another hall is the place for receiving and completing tasks. Wang Feng found a staff member to ask, but the staff member was so rude that Ruohan almost beat him up. Wang Feng glared at him fiercely, and Ruohan gave up. This time he entered the city, Wang Feng did not want to cause trouble, so Ruohan did not go crazy either. Otherwise, I really don’t know if he could hold it back.
When I arrived at the hall, I found that there were quite a few people inside. Not only were the people who received the task queued, but even those who completed the task queued. Since everyone followed the rules, Wang Feng could only be at the end of the task.
Some mercenaries saw a first-level mercenary group queuing, and on the way to complete the mission, they asked people around them when the first-level mercenary group had sent a task to take on?
Everyone was talking, and even some staff members stopped their work and participated in the discussion. Although the voice was not loud, it still clearly reached the ears of Wang Feng and the others.
Linda was a girl after all, and she was pointed so blatantly, and she couldn't hold her face away. Wang Feng looked at it and snorted softly. Although the sound was not loud, everyone in the hall heard the low hum clearly. After all, they were all high-level mercenaries, and immediately realized that she was a little too fussy. Most of them shook their heads and turned their eyes elsewhere. A few people with ulterior motives began to turn their eyes to the bright elf.
Such a gaze made Linda even more uncomfortable. Without waiting for Wang Feng's instructions, Ruohan was already staring at his anger and looked at these people. If the boss hadn't allowed him to take action, Ruohan would have rushed forward long ago.
However, the efficiency of the work here is still good. The people who take on the task leave quickly, and those who complete the task and receive the bounty are also fast. However, after everyone completed their own tasks, they did not leave the hall, and they gathered around the hall to wait slowly. They waited curiously to see what kind of mission Wang Feng and the others would complete.
Although there were many people queuing up, they still walked very quickly and it was finally Wang Feng's turn.
The union staff are not very old, but they are well-informed on weekdays. Knowing that such a situation is definitely unusual, they asked in a very polite tone: "Is there anything I can do to serve?"
Wang Feng nodded and said, "We want to receive a bounty."
"Which mission is it? When will it be distributed? Are there any results for the mission brought back?" The staff experienced the usual speech.
Wang Feng winked at Linda. Linda understood and took out the brisk bow from under her bow bag and placed it on the table.
The small bow and exquisite patterns are placed there without any jewels. Judging from the appearance, it is just a bow smaller than an ordinary longbow. What kind of task is this? Even the staff are confused.
The mercenaries around were even more talkative. Although these people were well-informed, the bow that the junior mercenaries in front of them really didn't know what good thing it was.
The staff looked at Wang Feng a little jokingly and asked, "Sir, we don't seem to have sent such a task, right?" After all, they are well-trained. Even if they look down on these junior mercenaries now, they still speak in a polite tone, although the eyes are full of contempt.
Wang Feng did not answer, Ruohan slapped the table and shouted, "Blind things, ask your head to come out and take a good look at what this is?"
Everyone looked at Wang Feng and the others, and finally confirmed that Wang Feng and the others were not joking. The staff suppressed the idea of almost asking someone to drive them out. They walked inside and went to find someone.
The experienced mercenaries had already realized that something big would happen, and they were looking at them carefully. Although the level was not high, except for Ruohan, only Linda was an archer. He couldn't see anything strange about these four people. But let's wait until the host on duty of the Adventurers Union came out today.
Not long after, an old man in the robe walked out with the young staff. It was obvious that the staff had explained the general situation to him, so he didn't say anything nonsense and went there to examine the bow.
After a few glances, the old man's expression had changed. He rubbed his eyes carefully, looked at him widened his eyes and almost started shouting. But he stopped the sound in his throat in time and looked up and asked Wang Feng next to him: "Is this what you found?"
Wang Feng nodded, and the old man said without hesitation, "Please come in and speak." He turned around to lead the way. Wang Feng signaled Linda to put away his bow and followed the old man into the back. People were even more puzzled, and they had already run outside to find someone with more knowledgeable questions.
Wang Feng and the other two followed the old man inside. The old man had already ordered the staff to find the other people. He couldn't wait to put the bow from Linda, looked at it again and again, and then ran to a pile of documents to search.
After searching for a while, I finally found a book from a pile of thick materials, opened it, spread it on the table, and compared the graphics and features on it.
Finally, he raised his head and said to Wang Feng: "From the appearance, it should be that it's not wrong. But I can't make the final decision alone, and I have to wait for the other people to appraise together." Wang Feng nodded to show his understanding. The old man ordered the staff outside to prepare some drinks for him, and he was still watching the Bow of the Wind.
After a long time, several people finally came one after another. Everyone was extremely impatient to be disturbed. When they saw the bow, they were like hungry wolves seeing flesh. At the beginning, the old man had already found enough information, and everyone flipped through it. Two people looked at the powerful and tried to pull it away. Wang Feng and others didn't say anything, waiting for them to be electrocuted. Sure enough, both of them jumped up with electricity.
Ruohan suffered a loss, and when he looked at them, he laughed loudly, Linda couldn't help laughing. The two of them were so embarrassed.
Finally, after a storm, everyone reached a consensus that the bow in front of them was the legendary artifact "Fish". This bow has been missing for more than 150 years. Because its last owner could not use the bow, it was placed in the room for furnishings. It was seen by a famous thief at that time, and discovered the artifact and stole it from his owner's home.
The owner of the bow immediately offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins to find a magic weapon. The thief did not dare to speak out because of the magic weapon, so he disappeared completely with the bow. Many years have passed, and the reward has not only not been withdrawn, but the amount of the reward has increased more and more. It has now been a sky-high price of 500,000 gold coins.
Moreover, since the reward time is too long, according to the Adventurers Union, the level of this task will be adjusted upward for every ten years. At the same time, the person who completes the task can not only receive a reward, but also increase the corresponding adventure level by one level. More than 150 years have passed, which is equivalent to increasing the level of fifteen at a time, but it is limited to two people.
It seems that the charm of the artifact is so great. After so many years, it is still so eye-catching. Several people have already completed the identification, but they still watched reluctantly, leaving Wang Feng and others aside.
Wang Feng waited for a long time and finally spoke. "Can you finish the task procedures for me?"
The old man turned around with a look of embarrassment and said, "Yes, yes, please come with me." He led Wang Feng and the other four to the hall and appointed the young staff just now to complete the procedures for Wang Feng.
When the young man learned about the content of the task, he took a breath and thought to himself that fortunately he didn't drive them out, otherwise he would be the one who would finish such a task. He hurried to transfer the money, record, deduct the handling fee, etc., and notify the staff outside to ring the magic honor bell.
When every mission that exceeds a hundred years is completed, the Adventurer Union will ring the honor bells distributed by the union. Each Adventurer Union branch has a mouthful, and all bells are controlled by special magic. One bell rings, and all bells ring. In other words, all the bells of all the Adventurer Unions in the continent have now ringed.
Through the Magic Honor Bell, the content and the completion of the mission were also spread. Now, all the Adventurer Unions know that the long-lost artifact "Furious Wind" bow has been found by a mercenary group called "Wolf Army".
Elsa and Chuck's magic crystal cards flashed at the same time, because this adventure level is not particularly important to Wang Feng and others, so both upgraded places Wang Feng gave Elsa and Chuck. Although he completed such a task, the Wolf Army was still a first-level adventure team, and the captain Wang Feng was still a first-level adventurer.
The artifact, the wind of the divine weapon, was the weapon that the Arrow God had with him back then. It is said that the Arrow God was invincible with these two weapons. Anyone who can use the artifact can obtain divine power and usage skills from the artifact. This is also the reason why everyone yearns for possessing artifacts.
However, not everyone can use magical artifacts. They have spirits and will choose their own masters. Those who cannot obtain the recognition of magical artifacts cannot even pull the bowstrings. Just like Ruohan Chak and others, even if they use the reckless power, they will be attacked by the defensive magic attached to the artifact. Even people like the Dragoon who are immune to most magical magic are probably not immune. There are unique monsters like Wang Feng.
The masters of the artifact have never been able to gain recognition from the artifact, but since the legitimate master, all owners have tried to study whether other methods can be used to obtain the power of the artifact, and no one handed over or returned it to the master.
When he arrived at Wang Feng, what he really believed in was his own power, so he didn't care about a magic weapon that no one could use. It would be better to exchange it for something practical.
Wang Feng and others have received the bounties and other rewards they deserve. Because of their special missions, they have made huge contributions, and have received an honor issued by the Adventurers Union. In the future, the Wolf Army can accept any level of tasks in any Adventurers union without being restricted by the team level. This is the only first-level mercenary team on the mainland to receive such honors. There is another team that is the Tianlong Mercenary Group, which can also accept any tasks. However, they can accept it because they are the highest-level mercenary group on the mainland. If they cannot accept it, no one can accept it.
Wang Feng and others had left the Adventurer Union and returned to South City. But the Adventurer Union was not so calm.
Today, the host on duty sent out all the defense forces that the union could control and guard the place. After all, the greed for the artifact may arouse the coveting of many people. Although this is the largest union in the empire, it is not guaranteed that under the temptation of the artifact, someone will do some adventure activities in the adventurer union.
Perhaps, before the artifact is returned to the real owner, the place will be so vigilant. Those who stayed in the bar and hall were driven out. Only one mercenary group was allowed to enter one person normally to receive and complete tasks, and they must have magic crystal cards with the mercenary group logo. The union has all been dispatched and guarded in the union. Because of the importance and value of the artifact, the union even dispatched two tasks, mobilized 10,000 gold coins, and sent two mercenary groups with excellent strength who had good cooperative relationships on weekdays to guard the periphery of the union.
The union has asked the magician to notify the president of the union and the original owner of the artifact as quickly as possible, and let them pass here to receive and process the artifact. The union has a great reputation. Except for the few people at the core, no one knows who the original owner was.
The news of the artifact found has spread throughout the city through some mercenaries watching the fun. Because of the artifact, many powerful merchants have put down their business and turned to care about the artifact. What they most want to know at present is the owner of the original artifact's reward, how to deal with this artifact.
Because no one can use it, no one knew who the master of the artifact was before, and it was equivalent to not knowing the whereabouts of the artifact, so there was no fantasy about the artifact. But this time after retrieving the artifact, the mysterious master had to show up. If he could not use the artifact, the artifact would only bring a catastrophe to his family. The best way is to deal with it here.
If a magical artifact has a spirit, he will naturally choose a master. If you are the one with the fate, you can become a god-like existence. This is the common idea of most people.
If it can be taken out for public auction, it would be the best. Some merchants have begun to raise cash and prepare for bidding. Some smart people have directly inquire about the news within the union through relationships. Poor warriors are honest people planning how to make profits from those who have attempts to make a move to the artifact, while those who have deviations are planning how to get the artifact from the union or the next owner. The entire Tiancheng has entered a wonderful state because of the appearance of the artifact.
Soon, the residents of the outer city also received news. Shortly after Wang Feng and others returned to their residence, the entire Tiancheng, including the four outer cities in the southeast, southwest and northwest, were discussing the matter of the magical artifacts in the sky. Even the residents who claimed to be unrequited were full of pride because the magical artifacts appeared in the Tiancheng.
When the news reached the palace, the royal family caused a sensation. They even directly dispatched two imperial guards to strengthen the public security and vigilance of Tiancheng. People entering and leaving the outside of Tiancheng had to undergo strict interrogation.
Because of the annual Magician and Warrior upgrade conference to be held in the near future, the Magician Union and the Warrior Union will have many senior personnel coming. In addition, the influence of the Adventurer Union's artifact, Tiancheng this month is no longer lively.
Looking at the enthusiasm of the people around him, Wang Feng told the people of the Wolf Army another precept. At any time, you must remain calm and not be moved by external objects, including on the battlefield. Only with a calm mind can you know how to advance and retreat, distinguish interests and traps, achieve your goals to the greatest extent and ensure your safety to the greatest extent.
