Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage Chapter 255

bang-

The glass door in front of Lucian automatically opened to both sides, and his eyes widened for a moment in astonishment.

"Does this place make you uncomfortable?" Senna took a half-step behind him and gave Lucian a teasing smile.

His actions just now reminded her of how they looked when they first met.

At that time, Lucian was simple, stubborn, but full of humor. Now it seems that after so many things, his essence has not changed much.

This is a good thing.

"How come, you see, this door clearly welcomes our arrival." Lucian retracted his outstretched hand awkwardly and rubbed his chin twice.

He calmed down quickly.

A door that opens and closes automatically, no fuss...

He stretched out his slender legs, and the tight braids echoed behind him, but before taking a few steps, he looked back at the glass door, glanced left and right, and then followed Senna's footsteps again.

In the afternoon, there were not many idle people gathered in the hall.

In the empty and very modern office hall, only a few people sat.

Lucian saw a row of desks in front of him, and one of them said "Please go to window 5 for business at 0075".

Very easy to understand, take the number and do things.

"As expected, it's as advanced as it is outside," Senna said to Lucian. "It's the first time I've seen the Explorers Association with such a disciplined process."

"It's a good thing, I'm starting to think we've come to the right place." Lucian nodded slightly.

Lucian and Senna have visited similar expeditions, but never a place that gave them the impression of being professional, formal, and well-mannered.

The two were not in a hurry to seek help, but as they stepped into Zaun, they looked at everything they could see.

Soon, Lucian and Senna's attention was sucked by the area on the left side of the hall.

Unlike the regularity in other places, the style there is extraordinarily loose.

Dozens of wooden round tables and low stools are placed on the checkered floor tiles, the bartender stands in the wide bar, and a group of people chat in the seats next to them.

It looks like a private tavern within the association.

On those round tables, in addition to cigarette butts and empty cups, there were also nameplates with the words "xx mercenary group" written on them.

Among these nameplates, the most numerous is a team called "Ascension Pirates".

Lucian looked at it calmly, and he probably knew in his heart that this should be a large group staying in Zaun at the moment.

And... the pirates... don't sound like a good organization.

"Sir, ma'am, what kind of business do you want to issue?"

A beautiful woman with fair complexion and burgundy hair came over.

Judging from her dress and dress, Lucian judged that this should be Mrs. Piltover.

"We want to be explorers, what are the conditions for joining the association?" Lucian asked casually.

"Before that, I want to understand first, do you two want to become Yellowwood-level explorers?"

The lady with the burgundy hair upturned was a little surprised. Her gaze swept around the dual spears on Lucian's waist and Senna's huge long spear.

It stands to reason that people dressed like Lucian and the two are also senior explorers at least.

"Yellowwood class? Can you give me a detailed introduction?" Lucian said in confusion.

He had never heard of this emerging word from the other party's mouth.

Hearing Lucian's question, the burgundy-haired lady with elegant curls did not show an impatient expression. She kept a polite smile and explained patiently:

"The Explorers Association has an established set of divisions for explorers."

"I originally became a yellow wood-level explorer. If I can complete 5 yellow wood-level commissions, or complete a black iron-level commission, I can apply to upgrade the explorer level."

"Starting with yellow wood, then black iron, bronze, silver, gold...and platinum for legendary explorers."

"If you join a mercenary group and an expedition group, the amount of tasks for coordinated upgrades needs to triple."

As she spoke, she asked Lucian and Senna to sit down on the sofa by the window in the reception hall, then took out two manuals from the shelf at hand and handed them to each of them.

Looking at the manual, combined with the explanation of the lady opposite, Lucian is very clear now.

"If we want to upgrade to a black iron explorer, then we need to follow the mercenary group to complete 15 yellow wood commissions? Or 3 black iron commissions?" He asked half tentatively and half confirming.

"That's right." The lady with the red hair bun nodded, "but I can only accept a higher level and no limit to the commission, if the gentleman feels very strong, you can try to join a mercenary group, through them Receive advanced tasks as an intermediary..."

While she was speaking, she continued to flip through the manual and pointed out the registered mercenary groups.

Under the detailed introduction of the other party, Lucian and Senna also learned a lot of useful information.

The mercenary group, like the explorer, also has a rating.

And some mercenary groups will hire temporary explorers to complete some difficult tasks in order to level up. This is a win-win for some explorers who want to level up.

However, the higher the level is not only the benefits, the higher the task level, the greater the penalty after failure.

This also avoids the chaos of many explorers brushing advanced tasks.

Lucian made a self-estimation, and he and Senna should be enough to be rated as silver-level mercenaries.

As for the more advanced mercenaries, Zaun didn't have them at all.

"Is there any high-level mercenary group here?" Lucian raised his head from the manual.

He looks like a rookie who wants to quickly upgrade the level of the explorer.

According to his and Senna's consultation, it is best to meet some like-minded people through the Explorers Association first, and then form their own mercenary group or expedition group.

There was plenty of time for them to completely calm down, walking all the way from Demaci Road in the west to Zaun in the east.

It's useless to rely on slogans and save the world to find the Shadow Island desperately.

The most reliable method today is to join a mercenary group first, and then win over others to form their own forces.

Finally, waiting for the formation of the forces to be completed, they are going to conquer the Shadow Island.

They have tried, no matter how much they lobby, the big forces do not believe in the threat of Shadow Island.

Maybe...they won't believe what they say until they feel the pain.

After listening to Lucian's words, the beautiful lady raised her hand and pointed to the wine table not far away:

"The biggest one here is the Ascension Pirates. They have just come here and are waiting for their new ship to be built."

"Ascension Pirates... How about this pirate group, Desert Rose and Zhai Haroby?" Senna asked curiously.

"Oh, you know Zhai Haruo?"

Suddenly, an indifferent female voice came from the side.

A hot woman with a strange cross weapon in her hand walked in from the door, and she looked at Senna with cold eyes.

After seeing this woman, Lucian could obviously feel that the lady in charge of reception was a lot more reserved.

His gaze couldn't help looking at the new woman, and when he saw the silver medal on the other side's chest, he couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Silver Medal... This is a silver-level explorer.

"We just heard that Zhai Haruo Mercenary Group and Desert Rose are the two most powerful mercenary groups." Lucian answered truthfully.

Listening to the meaning of the woman's words, it is not difficult to hear the other party's attitude towards the Zhai Haruo mercenary group.

The woman didn't do the rest, but just kept her eyes on Lucian and Senna.

A tense atmosphere permeated several people.

Lucian and Senna subconsciously put their hands on the guns, looking ready to go.

Suddenly, the woman laughed, and her cold eyes turned to admiration:

"My name is Sivir, the head of the Ascension Pirates."

"Are you their leader?" Lucian's expression froze.

Hearing Sivir's words, he had to reassess the strength of the explorer in his heart.

Whenever a stronger team is encountered, its leader will threaten their strength.

Sure enough...they've come to the right place.

"Of course, according to Vera's meaning, do you want to join us?" Sivir's interested eyes swirled around the two of them.

She seemed to be observing the two of Lucian in front of her, but in fact her eyes were focused on the panel displayed by the Book of Ascension.

The recruitment of the Ascension Pirates and the construction of the new ships went well.

Just like her favorite saying, with money, nothing is a problem.

It's just... Regarding the tasks of the pirate group, there are still two unfinished.

【Recruit senior sailors, reward...】

[Recruit senior gunners, reward...]

These two tasks are not easy to complete, senior... She hates this word, unlike other people who have no requirements, just recruit them.

With the word senior, the difficulty of recruiting has doubled.

Zaun is very good at guns, basically all belong to the police department, and will not join their team. The rest of the crooked melons and cracked dates obviously do not meet the requirements.

In addition, she has also recruited many sailors who run the sea, and even a captain. But after joining the pirate group, none of them completed the task.

If she hadn't met these two interesting people in front of her today, she would have thought of recruiting people in Biltover after the ship was built.

The two guns on them... it doesn't look very simple.

Perhaps, these two deserve the evaluation of senior shooters.

"We mean to join the mercenary group, but we just don't know what the usual mission of Captain Sivir is?" Lucian planned to ask clearly.

They meant to join the mercenary group, but more to prepare for the resistance to the Shadow Isle.

The other party's name has a pirate group, and they have no idea of ​​going to Biltover to loot.

Sivir grinned, his eyes swept across the panel of the 'Book of Ascension', and he said without hesitation, "Accept the mission of the Explorers Association and raise the pirate group to the gold level as soon as possible."

[Promoted to Gold Rank Explorer. Reward: 1,000 Trefary Gold Coins, physical enhancement. 】

[Promoted to the Gold Rank Pirates. Reward: 5,000 Trefary Gold Coins, Earth Attribute Magic Talent. 】

Looting those caravans, how can there be more money for direct promotion.

Besides, she's not stupid.

The merchant ships of the empire cannot be looted. She has no feelings for the empire, but she will lose her life if she is robbed. This transaction is not worthwhile.

Except for the empire, the rest of the robbery has no profit.

Doing the task of the Book of Ascension is the right way!

Hearing Sivir's words, Lucian was stunned.

Such a normal mercenary group...why should it be called a pirate group.

"I can't see that you are good people."

Seeing the strangeness in Lucian's eyes, Sivir laughed and said:

"How about it, do you want to join us. Whether it's money or fame, you can be satisfied."

Lucian frowned slightly and glanced at Senna.

In contrast, if what Sivir says is true, joining them is indeed a good way out.

If Sivir's group were really pirates, they wouldn't have any burden in their hearts if they took over their pirate group.

After exchanging glances, Lucian smiled:

"Thank you for the kind invitation from the head of the delegation. I think everyone will have a pleasant experience."

"Good talk good talk!"

Sivir's eyes suddenly brightened, looking at them as if looking at rare treasures.

Feeling the sight of Lucian, the two of them felt a little tight in their hearts, but fortunately the sight went away quickly, Sivir turned his head and said:

"Vera, go through the formalities for them."

"OK!"

The lady who was in charge of the reception earlier, Vera, nodded and went to the side to pick up the number. Obviously, it was not the first time she helped.

Sivir was not polite, and took Senna carelessly and led the two to the wine table of the Ascension Pirates.

"Come on, come on, get up for me, welcome newcomers!"

As soon as he arrived at the position, Sivir kicked the drunk Xiluo. Xiluo was in pain, and stood up in a jerky manner.

Seeing all the members of the group look over, Sivir pointed to Lucian and said:

"These two are the new senior shooters of our Ascension Pirates, please introduce yourself."

"I'm Lucian, and I'm very familiar with Biltover. Just leave the sailing to me." Lucian stretched out his hand and shook hands with the people around him.

Since joining, he also has to show his ability.

In order to save Senna, he has been dealing with Biltover for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with everything there.

"Yes. Mr. Lucian, a senior naval navigator!" Sivir said with a smile.

She said how to complete both tasks at once, this is really a treasure!

She has no doubts about the judgment of the Book of Ascension.

Countless experiences have verified it, as long as the Book of Ascension has verified something, there is no time to go wrong.

"I'm Senna, a gunman!" Senna raised the big gun in her hand and gave the others a provocative look.

This is something he and Lucian have discussed before, no matter which mercenary group he enters, he must directly occupy a certain position.

It's better... Now there are a few people who don't agree to come up to provoke, and then let him stand up.

But never thought, the rest of the team members looked at her, not only without questioning, but full of reverence.

"Boss, are you really a veteran gunslinger?" Shiloh poked his hand, his eyes glowing.

"Nonsense, you don't believe my eyes?" Sivir raised his thick black eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, how can it be. Who doesn't know that the boss's vision is this!" Xi Luo hurriedly gave a thumbs up.

Hearing Sivir's approval, the eyes of the rest of the team members changed when they looked at Senna, and many even unconsciously brought a hint of respect.

In the face of these eyes, Senna is somewhat inexplicable.

Veteran shooter...is this some new way of saying a strong man?

However, Lucian and Senna could see that in this pirate group, Sivir had a strong reputation.

They were right.

"Come, come, Zaun's most intense 'industrial beauty', finished in one cup."

Sivir took three glasses of wine from the bartender and handed two to Lucian.

"Captain, I hope to take care of one or two more in the future."

Lucian did not refuse, and poured the transparent wine into his mouth without hesitation. Although it was like a fire burning his throat, he still drank it.

Senna followed suit and drank it with pain.

The actions of the two of them ushered in the unanimous goodwill of the rest of the mercenaries. They applauded and drank the wine next to them.

And Sivir also smiled "haha" at the moment, and simply drank the wine:

"happy!"

After the brief but enthusiastic joining ceremony, Vera also completed the Explorer Badge and Pirate Order, and handed them to Lucian.

Looking at Lucian and the two playing with the medals, Sivir wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said with a wicked smile:

"Lucian, were you talking about Zhai Harlow just now?"

"Yes, does the regiment commander have a grudge against them?" Lucian nodded.

He was also a little curious about the mercenary group that Seraphine said was one of the strongest.

"Hahaha, there is hatred, of course there is hatred. But I guess that guy died in the desert long ago."

Not only did Sivir laugh out loud~www.mtlnovel.com~ The other members of the pirate group also gave out strange laughter.

Seeing this scene, Lucian frowned slightly:

"Captain, did you give them to..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Sivir grinned and whispered in Lucian's ear:

"It's not them, it's just him! Get to know him again, the former deputy head of the Zhai Haruo mercenary group, Sivir!"

Hearing this sentence, Lucian's eyes narrowed, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

The mercenary group they randomly joined... Is this even an organization?

"Hahaha, come and come, for the newcomers, drink!"

Sivir didn't mind Lucian's expression at all, and took the freshly filled glass and poured it into his mouth.

For a time, the atmosphere was very lively.
