Chapter 99 Weird
For three whole days, there was no trace of the undead creatures on the first floor of the sewer.
Lan Wu endured the whole three days. Whether it was Flora, Irene, or Avila, the three of them were looking at him with strange eyes all the time.
Without him, all the demonic energy contributed by the undead creatures on the entire first floor of the sewer was absorbed by Lan Wu alone. This completely subverted their understanding.
"Don't look at me like that." Lan Wu was helpless. He didn't expect this either. The only thing that made him happy was that the skills other than the two skeleton resurrection skills finally showed signs of improvement. But what troubled him was that although those skills had experience, the highest skill, Skeleton Control, only had ten points of experience. The rest of the skills, such as Ursine Transformation, all cost single-digit experience.
This made him confused and helpless. The demonic energy decomposed by an entire undead creature on the first floor of the sewer is enough to upgrade the entire team by one or two levels on average. But he absorbed all the magic energy, and his level was not improved, nor was his skill level. This is outrageous.
He specifically consulted Rodament for this purpose. The answer given by the latter left him helpless again.
"The physiques of the blessed ones are very different, and they can only improve their level through special methods." Rodament said.
Lan Wu turned around and left, calling Flora and the others to return to the ground. If you think about it with your toes, you will know that the special method Rodament mentioned is by no means a method that can be achieved at present. Otherwise, it should be straightforward and clear how to upgrade.
Since there is no hope of upgrading for the time being, it is better not to know, so as not to hold it in and feel uncomfortable.
Just after returning to the ground, Graz came towards me. He walked up to Lan Wu, stroked his chest and saluted, and said solemnly: "I have sent people to the Rogge camp to assist in the defense."
"Thank you." Lan Wu smiled faintly, feeling less worried.
"I have arranged a place for you." Graz completed his promise and became much more relaxed.
"His Majesty Jie Hain has arranged a place for us to stay." Lan Wu smiled and did not leave.
"His Majesty Jehain will definitely understand my feelings of repaying my kindness." Graz laughed and extended his hand in vain.
The two had a tacit understanding and quickly formed an alliance. Lan Wu needed such a powerful force to provide necessary military assistance. And Glaze also needs a key figure like Lan Wu to connect with Rogge's camp, leaving a way to protect himself.
Several mercenaries quickly came over and led Flora and the others away. Watching the girls leave, Glaze suddenly lowered his voice: "There is something wrong with Lu Gaoyin's situation at the moment. Several big families are recruiting professionals."
"Oh?" Lan Wu raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
"It is said that someone has discovered the ruins of Nifl. The major families plan to join forces to excavate it." Graz immediately broke the news.
When Lan Wu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. The ruins of Nifl, isn't this what I'm looking for? According to Kane, Niffle is well hidden and will never be found. Why did Lu Gaoyin suddenly get the rumor that he had found the ruins of Nifl?
"Really or not?" Lan Wu pretended to be confused.
"After all, I can be considered a big shot in Lu Gaoyin." Graz laughed, confidently raising his thumb and tapping his chest.
Lan Wu smiled. This Glaze looks rough, but he is actually a shrewd person. Also, without this ability, the powerful force of mercenaries would have been annexed long ago.
"Aren't you interested in the ruins of Nifl?" Glaze asked with deep meaning.
"If you are interested, it won't be my turn." Lan Wu shrugged and smiled nonchalantly: "Lu Gaoyin has several big families joining forces, so how can I be his opponent?"
"I can help you." Glaze took advantage of the situation and took over the words, patting his chest confidently: "Although my mercenaries are not as good as professionals, they are definitely good players, and they are more than enough to face the demons outside the city. As long as you are interested, I I can work with you to excavate this ruins."
Lan Wu was surprised. I thought that Graz was just trying to find a way out before deliberately befriending him, but I didn't expect that this big man had such great ambitions.
In the War of Original Sin, the three demon gods were finally re-sealed. But humans also lost their prosperous civilization. To this day, demons are still the greatest threat to mankind. And the only human beings who can resist the devil are professionals. From the magical civilization where a hundred schools of thought contended to today's monotonous professional inheritance system, mankind has lost too much. The ancient ruins are the hope for mankind to fight against evil.
Every relic contains a past civilization. Just like Lu Gaoyin's city guard. Seven ancient tombs of Tarasha were excavated, and the once insignificant city guards now rose to the top and became the absolute power controlled by Jehein, enough to compete with mercenaries and professionals.
A relic means huge benefits.
Glaze saw that Lan Wu was reluctant to answer the question, and knew that he should not act too hastily. He laughed and made a promise: "You can think about it first. There is still a lot of time. If they want to secretly recruit enough people, it will take at least half a month. If you are willing, I can guarantee it. The entire mercenary union I will fully support you. You and I will each receive half of the harvest.”
"Then I'll think about it first?" Lan Wu laughed.
"Of course, my friend." Graz sighed secretly and readily accepted this reality.
At this time, a mercenary came over in a hurry. He walked up to Graz and said a few words in a low voice. The latter's expression changed and he looked at Lan Wu with a strange expression.
"Gross's servant is outside. He said he would treat you to a feast in the tavern to repay you for saving his life that day." Gretz had a strange expression, as if he was wondering why Gros suddenly became so strange and actually went to the tavern.
Gros had been to the tavern?
Gretz's heart was lifted high. As a mercenary leader, he was very familiar with Lu Gaoyin's tavern. It was more like a brothel than a tavern. How could the designated heir of a big family like Gross have been to such a place.
"Gross wants to treat me to a meal?" Lan Wu also had a strange look on his face.
In his impression, the relationship between this arrogant Lu Gaoyin and himself was not good, and it could even be said to be terrible. Even if he saved his life, how could he be kind enough to treat himself to a meal. Besides, he was not the only one who saved him. When it comes to treating guests to express gratitude, it should be Gretz.
"I'll go with you." Gretz smiled heartily and hugged Lan Wu to the front hall.
When the two came to the front hall, they saw a servant standing at the gate of the mercenary union. The man saw Lan Wu and Gretz coming and saluted: "Respected Lord Gretz, Lord God's Grace, Lord Gretz is waiting for you in the tavern."
Gretz was very surprised. Just now, he said that he would accompany Lan Wu to the banquet, but that was just talk. Although Gross's influence has been greatly reduced due to the temptation of the devil, everyone knows that as long as Jehain doesn't speak, Gross is still an important figure in Lu Gaoyin. How could I, a mere mercenary leader, rashly offend such a big man. Unexpectedly, as soon as I showed up, I became the object of invitation.
"Uh... I still need to deploy mercenaries." Gretz's mind turned quickly, and he made a quick decision to decline Gross's invitation. Safety first, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"If the lord knew that he saw you but didn't invite you, I would definitely be whipped twenty times." The servant is worthy of being a servant, and his speaking level is quite high.
Gretz laughed at the servant's words and agreed happily: "Okay, then I will accompany the Lord of the Divine Grace to the banquet."
Led by the servant, the two came to the tavern in the inner city. Before they entered the door, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a slender figure stumbled and fell in front of the two.
Lan Wu frowned. The person who fell to the ground was a woman, very young, and looked only 21 or 22 years old at most. She was wearing the cool clothes of a desert dancer, and there was a footprint on her white gauze skirt. It was obvious that she was kicked out of the door.
"Stinking ****, looking for death." With a curse, a barbarian walked out of the door angrily. There was a slap mark on his face.
When the girl saw the barbarian coming out, she was so scared that she hugged her head and curled up on the ground, looking like she had accepted her fate. Lan Wu frowned. He knew that this was the habit of the lower-class residents of Lu Gaoyin.
The social structure of Lu Gaoyin is like a pyramid. Jerhain and the major families are at the top, followed by the city guards, professionals, and mercenaries, and then the wealthy civilians. The lowest class is the ordinary civilians. The girl in front of him obviously belongs to the lowest level. If she were not poor, she would not play such a sad role as a dancer in the tavern.
Facing the powerful professionals, civilians have no power to resist and can only accept their fate.
The barbarian walked out of the tavern angrily, and suddenly saw Graz, his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped. Professionals are indeed the top power in Lugain, but he is just an insignificant member of it and cannot represent all professionals. Facing Graz, the mercenary leader, he really couldn't muster up any courage.
"Lord Graz." The barbarian saluted respectfully. When he saw Lan Wu next to Graz, his face changed and he shouted: "It's you."
Lan Wu was stunned and looked up. This time, he was happy. This barbarian was none other than Glasgow, an old acquaintance. He looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to bet with me?"
"No bet." Glasgow turned and walked away.
This was beyond Lan Wu's expectation. He thought that Glasgow's hot temper could not help but explode, and he took the opportunity to divert his attention and save the poor dancer. Unexpectedly, Glasgow turned and walked away. Fortunately, the dancer was saved.
The goal was achieved, Lan Wu smiled faintly, helped the dancer up, and followed Gretz into the tavern. As soon as he entered the tavern, he saw a person standing on the stairs at first sight.
"Gross." Lan Wu frowned slightly.
This arrogant Lugain man actually came out to greet him.
