Songta Town.

As the last human settlement east of the Ilovis area, it is a must-see for the Black Forest. Because there are often jungle monsters that come out to harass humans, it is also one of the most insecure areas that the Tallinn Association has specifically noted.

Near the evening, the sky was gloomy and dark.

On a black carriage that sailed to the town of Songta, Grimm picked up the curtain and carefully looked around.

It is a large expanse of rolling hills, covered with lush green trees, green, and a winding double-row carriageway between the hills and hills.

The carriage he hired was on this mountain road.

Looking back at Grim, the short-haired middle-aged man who was driving the car couldn’t help but remind him: "You must sit down, sorcerer, we have to speed up. This mountain road is safe during the day, but once it gets into the night, it becomes Very dangerous. So we have to get to the town of Sonta before the night!"

Glim nodded and didn't speak.

He looked at it, and as the sky gradually darkened, a carriage that was driving on this mountain road also accelerated. When the two carriages were intertwined and the coaches were not in the mood to talk to each other, they were all burying their heads.

The carriage follows the mountain road and travels faster. The farther the road is, the worse the road will be, and the more bumpy it will be. However, it was very smooth. Before the day passed, the carriage arrived at its destination, Songta Town.

Songta Township is said to be a human town, but it is more like a military stronghold.

A military stronghold surrounded by tall, thick solid wood fences!

Glim has also visited countless human villages and towns, and has never seen such a strict protection.

The thick and towering wooden fence was built with coarse logs cut down from nearby forests. It is 3 meters high and the upper end has been sharpened to reveal the white raft. The wooden door that entered the town was covered with a thick layer of metal guards that were fixed together by huge copper rivets.

There are a lot of fences and high turrets and arrow towers. It is faintly visible on the patrol.

When the black carriage of Grimm slowly entered the town, the whole picture of Songta Town was presented to him little by little.

This is a relatively cold and remote town.

There is only one street in total, and the wooden houses and houses built by hundreds of tall logs are arranged on both sides of the street, forming the main body of the town. A few tall buildings are hung with wooden signboards that barely make people see their function.

Pubs, hotels, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, and a small secret shop...

Here you can also see the secret store, Grim has to feel that the power of witchcraft is really ubiquitous!

The black carriage quickly stopped in front of a simple two-story wooden building, which is also the only hotel in the town.

When Grimm stepped down the carriage, he was able to see the owner of the hotel who couldn’t help but squat and look good. This is a middle-aged man with short brown hair and gray burlap clothes with a smile on his face.

Seeing the iconic wizard's robe in Grimm, the other party's smile is even stronger. Although his look is cautious, he does not cringe, and is obviously a guy who often deals with wizards.

"I need a clean and comfortable room!" Grimm held the wand in front of the owner, and the shadow cast by the body of 2 meters almost completely covered the other side: "In addition, I also want to recruit a small local. Expedition, you help me to release the wind..."

"Everything will be as you wish!" The owner nodded and said: "Please come with me!"

The arrival of a formal wizard also apparently caused a slight shock throughout the town. In particular, with the announcement of the owner, Jack, the mercenaries, adventurers and wizard apprentices who were entrenched in the town immediately became incited.

Don't look at the appearance of Songta Town, but it is very famous throughout the Ilovis area.

From the town, less than 10 miles into the northeast of the mountain, you will be exposed to the edge of the Black Forest. Walking through it, you will encounter a variety of exotic creatures, plants and beasts that are difficult to meet in ordinary mountain forests.

So the town of Sonta is the last replenishment location near the Black Forest, and is the place where all the guys who want to explore the Black Forest must stay or pass.

Although the Black Forest is extremely dangerous, but as long as it is not too deep, only in the periphery, it is possible to find some strange magical plants and magical beasts. For them, experienced adventure teams can have a good grasp of some spoils as long as they have a reasonable mix of occupations.

The secret store in the town is a specialized store that provides basic witchcraft supplies for the adventurers who enter and exit the Black Forest, and a large number of acquisitions of magical items.

............

In a room less than ten flats, except for a bed, a wooden table and a chair, there is almost no other item. The wooden tables and chairs seem to be made of mountain wood, and they have not been carefully carved and polished, and they also carry a scent of wood.

The conditions of the accommodation are very simple.

But considering the environment here, Grim is no longer picky about anything.

In contrast, the food provided by the hotel is quite good.

Soft bread, green sticky vegetable puree, and a golden unidentified beast ribs fried... Grim tasted it, the taste is good, there is a mountain flavor, and the ribs provide enough energy.

All of this, Glim did not discuss the price issue with the hotel owner Jack, the other party naturally put everything up according to the best standards.

As for the price?

The wizards never care about money, but only care.

And this is the main reason why Jack is elated after seeing the wizard!

Compared with those who are tempted by the adventurers, the real wizards never look at the gold coins in comparison with the wizard apprentices who are pretending to be generous.

When Glim filled his stomach, opened the plate in front of his eyes, and gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, Jack, who had been serving at the side, urged the maid to remove the tableware with a wink, while respectfully whispering: Sorcerer, everyone you need is already waiting downstairs. Look..."

"Take me down and see!" Glim reached out and picked up the ‘Destroyed Flame’ wand at the table and walked out of the room.

The living room on the first floor is full of adventurers who come to apply for a number of fifty or sixty people, including the characters dressed by the wizard apprentices. The guy who can live in the Black Forest, the top body is sturdy, and his words and demeanor are murderous.

Instead of going down the stairs, Grimm stood on the handrail at the second floor, overlooking the crowd in front of him, his eyes immersed in a terrible pressure.

"I need a small expedition team of 5 to 7 people, preferably a veteran with rich experience in jungle life." Grimm slowly said his request: "This trip does not need to hunt for any ferocious monsters, only need I will explore an area with me. The ordinary beast will be handed over to you. If there is a powerful monster, I will naturally deal with it. Your harvest will be yours during the journey, but you must give priority to completing my exploration mission. This is the mission. all content!"

There was a slight embarrassment in the hall.

The faces of everyone were excited and uplifting, and apparently did not expect the wizard to promise such excellent conditions. However, Grimm noticed that the faces of several arrogant adventurers showed a dignified and thoughtful look.

“I don’t know if this adult can reveal the general area that needs to be explored?” An old-fashioned adventurer sighed and said: “I don’t want to spy on your secrets, but I want to estimate the risk of this task. !"

Upon hearing the adventurer's words, the originally inciting crowd quieted again and focused on the mysterious wizard of Grim.

“The area I want to explore is near the disease forest!” Glim replied faintly.

The name of the diseased wood forest was just exported, and a huge pumping sound was heard in the crowd downstairs.

Most people's faces showed a shocked look.

The money of the wizarding adults is not so good!

Although they don't care about money, the cost of employment is often five to ten times that of ordinary adventures, but the areas they often haunt are often ten to 100 times more dangerous than ordinary tasks.

Sick wood forest?

As adventurers who often live in the Black Forest, they are very familiar with this name. It is located 300 miles northeast of Songta Town, which means that if you want to get there, they need to go deep into the Black Forest 290.

This... is already a very dangerous area!

It seems that the adventurer in front of him was scared by the name of the diseased woods. Grim right-handedly pressed the railing and announced another news.

"It is precisely because the mission of this trip is more dangerous, I am willing to pay 200 magic crystal for this!"

Glim’s words immediately set off a new storm in the crowd. All the adventurers’ eyes were red, and the discussion was heated and the hall was full of noise.

Glim was very clear when he looked down. Some of the young mercenaries who had been tender and tender had shook their heads out of the hall. Another group of old mercenaries had retired after careful consideration.

Soon, there were only ten people left in the hall.

"Adult, my name is Lovi, I am a 2nd-level sword and shield warrior. I am willing to join your team." Lovi is a tall and strong young swordsman who turned and pointed to the two people behind him: "This is my sister." , Fira, the archer of level 3. This is Rhodes, a level 3 thief."

Grim's eyelids made a turn on them, and they scanned their basic data almost instantaneously.

The wizarding world is respected by wizards, and the rest of the profession is undoubtedly suppressed by unprecedented times.

Level 2 and Level 3 in Love's mouth are only a symbolic title for ordinary warriors in the human world, and almost correspond to the ranks of the wizard apprentices.

Level 1 is equivalent to the quasi-witch in the apprenticeship, level 2 is equivalent to a senior apprentice, level 3 intermediate apprentice, level 4 junior apprentice... Almost all ordinary warriors are divided like this.

As for the comrades who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the wizard, I am sorry, never seen in the Wizarding World!

Luo Wei, who came out from the station, is only about twenty-seven years old. In the absence of elemental talent, he can have 2 levels of strength by fighting skills and tempering, and it is enough to be classified as a genius. Among them.

As for the two behind him, the physical quality is also unprecedented, which makes Glim can not help but nodded lightly.

The other party is obviously a mature adventure team, so the team is more comfortable to use!

Since the remaining adventurers dare to stay, they naturally have great confidence in themselves and have reported their careers and abilities to Grimm. Glim or nodded or shook his head, leaving only a level 4 hunter named Neil and an intermediate pharmacy apprentice named Anthony.

The reason why I chose a level 4 hunter is purely Jack's introduction.

This Neil battle is not very good, but it is a good cook, and the delicious taste of the barbecue is widely praised.

For the choice of the wizard, the three people can only shrug their helplessly.

Sure enough, it is a sorcerer who is very expensive, even taking risks in the Black Forest. The most considered is how to not abuse his stomach!

However, at this time, in addition to the five selected by Grim, there was only one mysterious man in the black robe in the hall sitting alone in the corner of the hall.

When Grim’s eyes slowly landed on ‘he’, the mysterious man stood up and squatted and sweared to him: “The sorcerer, we met again!”

It turned out to be ‘he’!
