161 Lunatic Mercenary
Blanche walked to the noisy Mercenary Tavern.
Just as I was about to push the door in, I suddenly encountered a man who was so fat that he was about to get a wine barrel squeezed out and wiped the blinds with a rag.
"Hey? Hello? I am the boss here. It is rare for adventurers to come to the mercenary tavern to post tasks in person... Are you going to hire a few mercenaries?" Hemlet looked at Blanche with some confusion.
You should know that only ordinary people usually post recruitment tasks in mercenary taverns, such as carriage merchants.
Adventurers have their own recruitment gallery.
"Well... I have such a plan." Blanche nodded, squeezed in from the fat man, and entered the interior of the pub. Her eyes were wandering around the pub. Suddenly, she saw a brown-haired boy who was toasted and teased by others on a table next to the bar, and was stunned.
"Dalen?" she said subconsciously in surprise.
The hall was quiet and people looked at the strange magician one after another.
——————————
In fact, Daren was called out with his name in one go, and he didn't think it was so strange!
Who made him a little famous recently?
"Crazy Mercenary" Daren!
This is his latest nickname... You know, on the cross recruitment gallery of the Belita Adventurers Guild, some adventurers even started to hire him at high prices on those notice boards...
And all this comes down to the new trolls that began appearing a few days ago.
People call it "blazing blood trolls"! This kind of troll is more difficult to deal with than the trolls some time ago. They have blood as hot as magma in their bodies, and every punch and kick are accompanied by high-temperature air waves when attacking! Once they are injured, the blood will burn the moment they contact the air, quickly burning the wound to stop bleeding.
This not only makes them have a certain ability to heal themselves, but it is even more difficult to kill. More importantly, it also destroys the itchy potion that has just been launched by the Magic Branch, known as the "troll nemesis"!
The emergence of both was almost the same. That is, the itch-causing potion just appeared on the trading list of Adventurers Guilds in various parts of the Kingdom. People shouted that it was easy to use, and just one day later, the trolls emerging from all over the country seemed to have suddenly changed into another variety, and all turned into "blazing blood trolls"!
There are two types of itch-causing potions. One is powder priced only 5 copper cloth, wrapped in paper, and hit the troll far away, causing it to explode on the troll, and the powder will contaminate the whole body; the other is an expensive gel potion priced at 10 Jintata, which can be applied to swords, axes, and arrows, so that each attack can have a certain itch-causing effect.
For the "Blazing Blood Troll", the former is almost completely ineffective! All powders will instantly turn into nothingness when facing high-temperature flames... while the latter has barely some effect, but it also becomes very unsatisfactory.
People thought that the dawn of passing the disaster had arrived, but suddenly fell back to a deeper bottom.
It is said that the Palace Mage Group has tried its best to study new potions, but no one knows how long it will take.
However, the Blazing Blood Trolls are threats that are close to you. They are more difficult to kill than the original trolls, and they have indirectly more "high temperature" attack methods. You should know that before this, many teams would hire mercenaries, and the mercenaries were responsible for siegeing trolls, and then other adventurers attacked from afar. But now the Blazing Blood Trolls' punches and kicks are accompanied by high temperatures. Once they bleed, they will catch fire. They can't resist it for a long time, even the metal shield will burn out of white smoke, and they will grab it like a soldering iron. It can be imagined how many times the pressure the mercenaries have increased!
Because of this, Delan became famous.
No one knew that when Daren faced the troll, all the high temperatures that rushed towards him would disappear inexplicably, and his shield was always as hot as usual.
This is naturally the credit of the "crystal ball"...
What Daren was worried about before becoming an adventurer finally happened. He encountered the first "magic" enemy! The hot heat contained in the blood of the flaming troll was obviously not a natural product, but a force similar to the "fire element" at work. Any elemental illusion will be absorbed when approaching Daren and transformed into a "illusion" that makes him painful.
The illusion brought by the flaming blood troll made Daren vaguely feel like he fell into a magma pool. The fiery heat of fire and the suffocation of water were both painful!
Fortunately, Delen now has [Transformation of Pain].
When he first learned this skill, Daren felt that this might be a necessary magical skill for his future expansion into the mainland. It was not to restore his fighting spirit, but just because he was attracted by the secondary role of "weakening pain"!
Facts have proved that I guessed right... the pain brought by elemental illusions can also be weakened by [Transformation of Pain] and transformed into a continuous stream of fighting spirit.
Therefore, when facing the "Blazing Blood Troll", as long as Daren can tolerate the "magma pool illusion", his performance will be better than other mercenaries! With a more lasting fighting spirit, the characteristics of a dead pig not afraid of hot, he can still run fast at critical moments! Whether it is blocking the troll's footsteps or leading the trolls to circle, his performance is outstanding among all mercenaries.
And don't forget.
Daren became a mercenary to hone his [injury transformation], and to master it perfectly as soon as possible...
Nothing can activate and hone [sincere transformation] more than "continuous illusions". Although Deren was in pain, he seemed to have picked up a treasure, took the initiative to take it over and over again, and never gave up easily. This unremitting efforts have indeed made his skill mastery progress rapidly!
After a few days, Delan gradually became famous.
Many people know about Belita's adventurer circle. There is a mercenary who looks like a madman! He is not afraid of the blazing blood trolls, but instead takes the initiative to move forward again and again. Moreover, this guy is really heat-resistant! Other mercenaries ran away with a few strokes and shouted "hot" but he never called hot, nor retreated easily.
Before the "King Mission" is withdrawn, hiring a good mercenary is equivalent to having the opportunity to earn more Jintata.
So Delan is naturally becoming more and more famous and popular.
Just now.
"Hey, Daren, I'll treat you this cup!" A strong mercenary with a scar on his chin raised his glass to Daren from afar, "How did you do it, teach us! I envy you so much. Your current employment price is several times that of ours! You are so amazing, reminding me of your dad!"
"This is really good..." This sentence aroused many people's consent.
Herbert Boole seems to be very famous in the mercenary circle of Belita and has a good reputation. This is also an important reason why Deren is so easy to get along with the mercenaries!
"Then I have to thank Uncle Hans." Daren grinned and took on a wave of business for Little Hans. "You must know that Uncle Hans, the head of the blacksmith shop, is the one who knows that my shield has been strengthened by his alloy formula! It is probably better to insulated."
As for the real reason, "Crystal Ball", other mercenaries can't learn it.
Moreover, Daren didn't think this was a good thing from the beginning. He already knew that the crystal ball was related to the evil wizard, so he would rather get it out as soon as possible.
It was at this moment that Delan heard the hoarse voice calling: "Dalen?"
Turning his head and looking, the brunette boy saw a mysterious black robe with a hood that couldn't see clearly, and he could only see a small magician with a fair chin!
And the latter seemed to be staring at him.
Chapter completed!
