Re, Gu Aotian Slaughtered Me
v17 Chapter 20: 4 The last meeting of the counselors
Arche wanted to meet up with her companions before investigating the place she was going to.
To be precise, it was a partner who did black work together in the past, and the location was an inn that was secretly acting as a black work agency. As long as there is a sufficient market, such places are indispensable all over the country.
"Everyone... I, am I late?" Archie looked at the two men and one woman who had eaten in the box, and said embarrassedly.
The two men and one woman were a two-sword warrior named Hekkeran, who was the captain of the team "Four Advisers"; Yin Mina, a female half-elf who was a guerrilla soldier, and priest Roberdek Goltron.
Although they are doing black work, they are basically good people.
For example, the reason why Rober Deckard works as a black worker is because the official priests who are registered must obtain the approval of the temple and charge extra fees when saving people. After all, casual medical rescue like drawing a knife to help others in the face of injustice will disrupt the medical industry. Market Order.
"Hey, Arche... To be honest, this white robe of yours doesn't really match your temperament." Hekkeran joked with a smile.
"Even if it's a joke, it's a little rude to a lady." Roberdyke said.
"It doesn't matter, I know how much I am, but as long as it is conducive to paying off debts and raising my sister, I am willing to do anything." Archie walked in and sat down on the empty seat.
"Would you like something more?"
"Need not."
"Ah, I don't need it either."
"Seconded."
Seeing that everyone was like this, the captain of the "Four Advisors" said: "Well, then... let's start the last meeting of the "Four Advisors"."
They originally came together temporarily for their own purposes. It is not surprising that the team has been reorganized many times in the black worker career or when they changed jobs: many factors such as age, talent, and difference in the direction of effort have become uneven in strength or have become less cooperative. There are many reasons such as difficulties, not wanting to fight anymore, and plans to change careers. In fact, the team is still maintained until now. Apart from the fact that everyone has no special intentions, one of the reasons is that their strength has always been easy to cooperate. Arche's overall strength has already exceeded the parameters, but most of the income from combat professions is used Improving her strength is the right thing to do. Because she has to repay her debts and has no money to buy equipment that suits her for a long time, her performance strength has never been properly evaluated.
Now if you use the public equipment of the Ministry of Magic of the Empire, you will naturally feel that your strength is "Peng" inflated.
Fortunately, for the above reasons, when Arche entrusted them with their assistance as she planned to give them a last favor before leaving, it did not bring any bad waves to the team atmosphere.
The reason why Arche still needs black workers is because there is no organization behind the black workers, so the investigation stance is more free. With a little help from the official network, it is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest investigation. Of course, the dangers encountered will be greater. , but black workers are originally a gray industry that has a greater risk of death than mercenaries and adventurers and earns more money.
After the captain said those words, the expressions of several people disappeared at the same time, and they leaned forward in the direction away from the wall, that is, in the center of the table. They are used to sneaking as black workers, even if there is a sound-proof barrier, they can't help but worry that the wall has ears.
"First of all, it's Arche's detailed confirmation of the investigation content. Arche, Yin Mina, and Rob, explain the summary in turn." Hekkeran said.
Considering the possible connection between the two letters received by Arche, even though Arche will not question the appointment itself, she still has suspicions that there is something behind the incident.
"Speaking of Earl Vermeer, his position in the palace is not so good now. There are rumors that he has been ignored by the Blood Emperor. I am a little worried about this."
"There are also rumors that the reason why he was not included in the purge ranks is that his ancestors are related to the priestess Ji of the temple."
"The Goblin Temple doesn't pay so much attention to human blood. But I communicated with the goblin priest when I went to the temple to pray as a priest. The upper echelons of the empire obviously deliberately concealed some news of demon turmoil, maybe to avoid public confusion. But you can The temple heard."
"Rob, can you really do it? But don't you hate the temple? I heard that those goblins don't agree with everyone, and they use spiritual magic if they feel suspicious?"
"But there has never been an unfair record in the official records for two hundred years, and I also spent ten gold coins. Can this part of the investment be included in the reimbursement of the funds for the imperial investigation itself?"
"I think it's okay. If there is a necessary result, the empire is willing to invest a million gold coins. If I hire you in my own name, it is still possible to draw two or three thousand gold coins as a commission. Of course, if there is nothing, only one hundred A deposit of four gold coins." Arche said.
"Hey, hey, is it true or not...Forget it, we shouldn't compare this with the usual commission. In short, let's work hard within the range that won't kill us." Hekkeran sighed.
"This is a rare and completely serious job. So did Rob find out anything else?" Yin Mina asked.
Rober Deckard: "Understood, but let's go further. A hundred years ago, the empire rebelled, and it ended with the rebels signing a contract with the demons when they were about to fail completely, which led to the turmoil of the demons in the imperial capital. Tens of thousands of people disappeared. It is suspected that there is a possibility of activating the legendary [National Land Formation Formation]. However, considering that even a large amount of supplies disappeared, it may be moved to the Demon Realm or other demonic places by special means~www.mtlnovel. com~ Hekkeran and Yin Mina, how are you inquiring with the local adventurers?"
Hekkeran: "Well, it sounds unbelievable to the extent that people feel that the collective has been under illusion. The huge fire wall surrounding some towns has no heat, and there are countless demons inside, and so on. Demons like maids also appeared."
Rober Deckard: "Except for the part about the maid demon, everything else is the same as the records in the temple... But as long as the devil is dressed as a maid, it is not particularly difficult. Since he claims to be the devil emperor, there are a group of female demons who don't serve him. Strange, this part is enough to be regarded as the demon emperor's subordinates. The most recent record of the appearance of the demon emperor is in the south, but it seems that he suffered another loss and disappeared completely for the time being."
Arche: "What? I know this... I heard from Teacher Paradine... This is something that has not been recorded in the published history books, and only the magic circle, religious circles, and high-level officials of the country have the right to know. How could the temple tell Rob?"
Hekkeran: "In other words, since the top management of the empire is willing to use two to three thousand gold coins as the cost of hiring outsiders to cooperate, and the temple also sells information at a low price, it means that they all support the use of additional forces to investigate. We just have to pray that we are not It’s just the abandoned son who was sent up to be tested.”
