Chapter 959: Starting the exploration
Chapter 959: Starting the exploration
From MC's Perspective:
After appearing outside, I continued my journey towards the small mountain range. Along the way, I came across some monsters. But they are scared away by mana pressure.
It's just I didn't see the girl again. For a second, I wondered whether she had suffered any misfortunes or not.
Time passed,
At noon, I saw the huge mountain range in the distance. Seeing that I sighed in relief. Which shows that the areas marked on the old map are genuine.
The next second, I started rushing forward in the mid air.
When I got closer at the foot of the mountain. I found people in groups here and there. Seeing that I swept my cross at everyone.
I saw the people behind the Crystal Class Airship as well. Seeing them, I wasn't surprised. Everyone's destination was this mountain range.
I wonder what kind of fortune is hiding in this mountain range.
The other hand, my arrival attracted attention.
Swoosh!
The next second, a few silhouettes arrived before me.
"Wizard, join our young gun camp. We will offer you 1000 mid grade mana stones," A yellow clothed wizard said.
Hearing that others offered one by one.
"Join our family, we will offer better than poor adventurers"
"Hey, as long as you join our camp we will divide the benefits in half"
After hearing their offers, I fell into contemplation.
Meanwhile,
The 17th Elder and others have already recruited a nice group of people. But it won't hurt them to add one more cannon fodder.
The next second, he stepped forward.
Seeing that others who are offering are cursed out in their hearts. Because this family force has recruited most of the lone rogue wizards.
And they are offering double the amounts. Which is something that rogue and adventurer groups can handle.
Even the arrogant young masters who are here can't take out that much money.
It's just that the 17th elder and others are willing to spend their personal money. Because they don't want to die here.
"Wizard, I don't know about you. Since you are able to come here. You must be strong. I will give you 5000 mid grade mana stones. What do you think?" the 17th Elder asked.
Silence!
Hearing that the atmosphere became quiet again. But these people are not surprised. Because this old man made the same offer to other lone wizards as well.
The other hand, I sighed inwardly. The Family behind the Crystal Class Airship are rich. Even one of their elders is taking out this sum.
Suddenly, a strong yearning filled my heart. I didn't forget all the killing and looting. My goal is to enter a lawless country. Before going there it's better to collect as much as possible.
What could be better than this group of fat sheeps?
"Alright," I replied with a smile.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...., good," the 17th elder said with a laugh.
He was satisfied by the answer. He likes sensible people.
"Here, take your payment," Saying that he gave the pouch of mana stones.
Everyone's eyes turned green with envy. The other hand, I laughed in my heart. As long as I kill these people and collect their storage bracelets. I might well earn a huge fortune.
Then I thanked him before putting inside the storage bracelet.
Next, under the envious gaze everyone. I followed the old man to their camp. I see more than 10 rogue wizards similar to mine chatting and talking.
I saw the old man walking inside the mana cave shelter to report someone.
Meanwhile,
The 17th elder entered the cave and met the young master.
"Young master Ren, we have recruited another lonesome wizard. He seems to be a strong level-6 wizard," He said.
Hearing that Ren opened his eyes. He looks at the old man before turning towards the protector.
"9th Protector, when will we start our exploration?" Ren asked.
He was quite dissatisfied in his heart. They should have started climbing in the early morning. But a sudden noise from the top of the mountain have disturbed everyone.
Right after, no group is willing to go up first. They are accessing each other. In the meantime, they are also recruiting wizards who come here.
"Young master, we have gathered 11 outsiders now."
"Wait for a few more people to come. Then we will start climbing," The 9th protector replied.
"Young master, I think the 9th protector's words are nice," the 17th elder said.
The midnight noise scared him as well. Who knows what's going on top out there? As long as there are more people in the group, it can guarantee more safety.
Here any random toxic grass plant can kill level-6 wizards. Which made everyone to be wary, including the 9th protector.
"Alright," Ren replied. He was not stupid. But the temp of treasures made him impatient.
Time passed,
Outside, I found a bed rock under the tree to shit down. I don't want to attract attention. But when I started observing the situation.
I see these people are afraid of something. But I don't know what it is? So I put behind the doubts right now and started waiting patiently.
Shortly after,
A few more rogue wizards came to the place. They were all quickly recruited by the camps including our. From their actions, I can see that these people are afraid of dying and they are looking for cannon fodders.
One hour later,
2 more people joined our camps and things changed. These people have decided to climb up the mountain. But in reality we are going to use flight ability.
The next second, the 19th elder asked me to come.
15 of us lone wizards stood in front of their young master.
"Come here, 15 of you will lead the way. If you find any opportunities or clues, you can earn extra reward," Young Master Ren said. Your journey continues on ???
He is extremely satisfied by the strength of these people.
Hearing that I sighed inwardly. But I agreed to their terms on the surface. I'm not in a hurry to kill them. The only stumbling block on the way is level-8 Wizard.
I will kill him later when he is not paying attention.
