Chapter 477 Shadow Council
On the huge mountain range between Orange and the King of Prussia's direct territory, the environment here is not far from the endless forest, and there are monsters everywhere.
Last time, Luther crossed the huge mountain range and reached the king's direct territory, and then met Xingge.
This time, Luther went in another direction and came to a stronghold.
This stronghold was gloomy, like the vampire castle in the movie, or the castle of the evil dragon clan, with bats flying from time to time.
At the door of the stronghold, there were two strange-looking knights guarding.
The two knights wore black cloaks with hoods, covering their entire bodies in the cloaks, revealing only the knight swords at their waists.
They saw the young man walking slowly.
A handsome, upright, well-dressed noble young man, that is, Luther, Pompey.
"Who is it?" asked the knight on the right. His voice was hoarse and low, very suitable for such an environment.
"I hope to embrace the shadow." Luther gracefully bowed and replied. He reached out and fumbled in his pocket for a moment, and took out a circular emblem.
There is a dark bat on the emblem.
The knight on the right took the emblem and fumbled for a while, then said: "The road to the shadow is very rugged, you need to pay 30,000 gold coins."
"Of course." Luther nodded, released 30,000 gold coins from the space ring, and piled them on the ground. The knight on the right nodded, collected the gold coins, and then took Luther into the base.
There are many people in the base, all dressed very strangely, making Luther feel like he has entered a weird paradise. There is a huge magic circle in the middle.
Luther stood up and came to a new environment in the colorful lights.
"Shadow Council, Mercenary Star!"
This is a planet with the sun, day, night, and stars, but the environment is very harsh and not suitable for human survival.
There are only magic cities, deserts, and oases on this planet. In the vast desert, there are many terrible monsters.
The city under Luther's feet is a magic city of "energy furnace" level, called Sidman City!
Although this planet is harsh, many mercenaries under the Shadow Council like to live here because the gravity here is very strong, ten times that of the original planet.
Living here can invisibly exercise your body.
When Luther walked out of the teleportation array and officially came to this planet, he immediately felt his body sink, and the weight pressed on his body and internal organs.
But as an intermediate knight with a physique different from ordinary people, this weight can be accepted.
However, the knights who can come to this planet are at least elite intermediate knights or above, because the knights below can't accept the weight on this planet at all.
This indirectly proves the strength of the travelers.
The mercenaries in the Shadow Council are not the mercenaries or mercenary groups of the original planet. In the Shadow Council, there are very few people who trust each other among the mercenaries.
They will not form a group. If they have to cooperate, they will cooperate with more familiar mercenaries for a short time.
The task of these mercenaries is to help the Shadow Council deal with things. For example, the Shadow Council discovered a very dangerous planet and needed to land.
Recruit mercenaries.
For example, there are wizards who need mercenaries as guards.
For example, to carry out exploration missions.
The Shadow Council is essentially a mercenary organization. Each mercenary has a level and can accept corresponding tasks.
Even if some mercenaries are short of money or want to increase their strength, they can sell themselves and provide human experiments for wizards.
There are too many crazy people in the Shadow Council.
The reason for this is that the strong men in the Shadow Council are not very interested in reproducing offspring.
The people in the wizard kingdom usually form a force with family as the bond and magic city as the combat unit.
The family sense of the Shadow Council is not strong, which leads to the connection between people and the trust is weaker. The most important thing is the relationship of money, and the most important thing to guard against is betrayal and assassination.
So it has contributed to the prosperity of mercenaries.
Use money to drive mercenaries and get their own things done.
Therefore, the people in the Shadow Council are very strong in combat. Everyone is in battle all year round, betraying others and being betrayed by others, and it is difficult not to be strong.
But the structure of the magic city is mostly the same. There are many hovercrafts in this magic city.
Because the power of this Sidman city is the old "energy oven", which cannot provide sufficient power for these hovercrafts.
So the power of the hovercrafts is all elemental crystals.
There are also passenger taxis.
It is night now, but there are still many taxis. For the knights, day and night are not much related, they are full of energy.
Luther called a taxi, and the driver was a middle-aged knight with a strong body and a scar on his face, looking very fierce.
"I am happy to serve you, where are you going?" The middle-aged knight's attitude was very kind.
But Luther knew that this was just on the surface. If the guest showed that he was a fat sheep, then the middle-aged knight would be happy to kill the guest.
Luther saw this middle-aged knight, glanced at the ring in his hand, as if he was estimating the value.
In Sidman City, killing is not illegal.
Only the strong can survive.
Luther smiled, opened his hands generously, showed the knight his many rings, then opened the door and walked in, saying: "Go to the Crimson Bar."
Luther's confidence made the middle-aged knight retract his gaze.
The middle-aged knight was not strong, just an elite intermediate knight. And those who can survive on the mercenary star are at least intermediate knights.
When the knight is not fighting, it is difficult to judge the strength of a knight.
If Luther showed timidity, the middle-aged knight would be tempted, or even take action, but Luther's confidence and generosity made him worried.
"Fifty gold coins." The middle-aged knight said.
This price is very expensive in the wizard country, but this is the Shadow Council, which is a reasonable price.
If the charge is not expensive, who is willing to run a taxi.
"Okay." Luther nodded.
The car was very fast, and about a minute later, Luther arrived outside the Crimson Bar. A very ordinary bar, like the old-fashioned bar in American Western movies.
In this bar, Luther can find Newton.
Luther was happy when he thought that he would see Newton soon. He paid the taxi fare and walked in.
The bar looked normal from the outside, but the inside was very scary.
There were many fierce guests drinking and looking at Luther with fierce eyes, as if they wanted to eat him.
On this mercenary star, it was like being in the ocean surrounded by sharks. Strange faces were especially liked by sharks.
Luther was a strange face.
