649 Arrogant Monroe 1
Located in the northeast of Tarier City, the Shadow Union is close to the commercial area and auction market, and is an inverted "concave" headquarters building complex, which looks grand and solemn.
The convertible sightseeing carriage galloped all the way, but it slowed down as it approached the square in front of the Shadow Union and finally stopped in an area that seemed to be dedicated to the carriage.
In the center of the extremely open square, there is a knight statue carved from black stones. He holds a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right hand. His body squats slightly and his expression is serious. The tight muscles show that he is preparing to launch an attack.
"Master Raymond, this is the statue of the creator of the Shadow Union himself. It is said to be his shape in his last mission," said the red-haired old man who led Raymond through the square, pointing to the statue to introduce Raymond. "He is also one of the pioneers of the Northern Icefield, a great human knight with knightly character!"
Raymond, carrying a large suitcase, did not speak, but he found that almost everyone who passed by the statue would salute the statue, and the black statue itself contained an inexplicable energy breath, which made this angular stone statue give him a "round" feeling, which was very strange.
After twisting Raymond's breath, he followed the red-haired old man through the square and came to the entrance of the Shadow Union's headquarters. The hundreds of steps were paved with white jade, and as Raymond stepped on the steps, he felt like he was being peeped.
Raymond, who had already stolen his breath, let this peep pass by him, but at the moment he left, his fingers moved lightly, integrating a ray of his own mental power into it.
He climbed up the steps, and finally when Raymond arrived at the door of the Shadow Union, he understood the principle of this peeping.
The energy fluctuations are extremely weak, and they will immediately stay away after passing by everyone. This automatically stimulated exploration aura is not done by the controller, but in fact it is just a exploration talisman array.
However, this exploration talisman array is extremely cleverly set, and it is actually set under these stone steps, and it also has the limitation of exploration, which should only have an effect on wizards below level 2.
It was still early, but Raymond, who followed the red-haired old man into the hall of the Shadow Union, found that there were more people inside than in the tavern just now.
Strong and rude orc, serious human knight in chain mail, hill dwarf with curly mane hair, burly bear mane...
However, although there were many people, the hall was not noisy. Moreover, these guys who survived by their best power lined up in dozens of long queues, waiting patiently to handle the affairs.
"Sir Raymond, the adventurers in the hall are all here to receive tasks," said the red-haired old man who took Raymond to the stairs on the left side of the hall. He whispered. "As the small teams who are employed, they rely on this method to obtain corresponding tasks. After replenishing supplies, they will quickly go to the northern ice field..."
While walking, I listened to the introduction of the red-haired old man. I followed him to Raymond on the third floor of the podium on the west side of the Shadow Union and found that the number of adventurers gathered in the Shadow Union was a bit too large.
On the third floor of the main building, there are at least hundreds of adventurers who squat or stand whispering there, while the number of them in the podium on the west side is even greater. Raymond, who has not conducted detailed investigations, is estimated that the number of adventurers currently in the Shadow Union will not be less than one thousand.
Taking Raymond to the podium on the west side, the red-haired old man entered a long corridor, and at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, there was a strong bear man in heavy armor standing, like a guard here.
Slowed down and came to the door. While the strong bear man opened the door for the red-haired old man, he laughed teasingly. "Hohoho, is the old guy here to send compensation?"
The wide open door was only half opened. It was obvious that the red-haired old man, who had been ridiculed by the bear man more than once, was dim and did not say anything. After the door was opened, he quickly walked in.
Raymond, carrying a large suitcase and lowered his head, wanted to follow in, and found that the bear man had blocked the door and was looking at him with a puzzled look.
The red-haired old man who walked into the door stopped, Raymond, who raised his head, smiled at the bear man, and raised the suitcase in his hand a little higher.
But the bear man's huge head was about to come up, but Raymond had already reached out and pushed the bear man away and passed directly through him, and walked in.
The somewhat confused strong bear man stared at Raymond's back and became even more confused, but Raymond, who had already turned around the corner of the corridor with the red-haired old man, had disappeared from his sight.
A confused expression appeared on his face, and the strong bear man who scratched his head was incomprehensible. Why was such a thin young wizard just a little pushed him and let him walk in easily.
And why did this thin young wizard have a very deep eyes that makes him feel dizzy?
But after the bear man couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to. He closed the door again and stood at the door. But after a moment, he yawned and felt tired, but he could only wait for the guards who were waiting for the successor to come.
But the red-haired old man walking in front was a little shocked. Raymond passed through the gate so simply, which he had never expected before.
Raymond, who was following him, smiled and lowered his voice. "It's just a simple little trick."
The red-haired old man in his heart was shocked and shook his head with a bitter smile. Only a wizard with a certain level of strength can use this small magic so smoothly. If he had just used the magic in front of this bear man, he would have been smashed into a meat pie by the alert bear man!
The narrow passage reached the end, and the half-closed door was gently pushed open by the red-haired old man.
The room covered with luxurious purple-red carpet was a little empty, but the person sitting on the lounge chair behind the desk immediately turned his head and relaxed after a alert glance.
The white wizard's robe, sunken eyes, blue face, and high nose bridge made the middle-aged wizard's expression a little arrogant.
The red-haired old man who walked two steps to the desk bowed and bowed with a very humble tone. "Mr. Monroe..."
But before the red-haired old man finished speaking, the middle-aged wizard scolded him. "Don't talk nonsense here, sign the agreement quickly and settle the matter. This time, the shadow suffered such a huge loss. Don't think that just by saying a few words, you can pass the test!"
The red-haired old man standing there with his head down stiffened his body and his hunched body felt a little sad.
Raymond, who was confused by the red-haired old man, still had no words to say, walked slowly over with a big suitcase, and came to the red-haired old man but saw his expression very confused.
Monroe, who seemed not awake, yawned, held a stack of documents on the table in his hand and flipped it as if he was searching, and continued to scold without raising his head. "Old guy, don't say that I didn't give you face. If you don't sign the agreement today, even the three of you will be investigated!"
Seeing that Raymond did not speak, the red-haired old man with a flushed face argued. "Mr. Monroe, you said the day before yesterday that you could release Shaman as long as you collect the ransom!"
"Oh? But I remember that you have notified you that you must sign an agreement before you can pay the ransom," Monroe sneered after raising his head and glanced at the old red-haired man. "If you don't agree, you three must also pay the same compensation as Shaman withdraws!"
With a "pop", Monroe slammed a document on the table. He lay down again and glanced at the red-haired old man but didn't say anything, as if he was too lazy to explain.
The red-haired old man who suffered from humiliation turned red with his face, and he angrily picked up the agreement on the table and began to open it. After a moment, his face turned pale.
Raymond, who was about to read the content of the agreement, still had a calm face, but the red-haired old man's hands holding the agreement trembled in anger. "But you did not inform me that the ransom must be sent last night!"
With his eyes rolled, the middle-aged wizard Monroe sneered. "I don't have a good memory. Maybe I forgot to notify me, but now I must follow such an agreement!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
