"I see……"
Bai Lang nodded thoughtfully.
Just then, the lady at the counter who had helped them with the formalities came over, followed by a sturdy adventurer. He held the magical giant sword that could change size in his hand and presented it respectfully to Bai Lang and Deng Yougang.
"……What's the meaning?"
Bai Lang looked at the two of them in surprise.
The lady at the counter smiled and said, "We have investigated and this is indeed the weapon of the Eastern Giant."
Bai Lang nodded and said, "So?"
The lady at the counter smiled and said, "The guild will not seize the spoils of adventurers. Now that the identity of the weapon has been officially confirmed, we will naturally return it to you two, along with the reward for the subjugation mission, of course."
As she spoke, she turned and looked behind her.
I saw another adventurer coming over carrying a large bag of gold coins.
Bai Lang took it casually, shook it, and put it into the storage space. He was surprised and said, "Doesn't the Adventurer's Guild take 20% of the reward? How come the gold coins I got are more than before the deduction?"
The lady at the counter smiled sweetly: "The client is very satisfied with your efficiency, so he temporarily added a sum of remuneration."
"So that's how it is."
Bai Lang immediately laughed and said with satisfaction: "I like this kind of client who is willing to spend money. Miss, please tell me that next time if there is any commission, please come to me by name, and I will give him a 20% discount!"
The lady at the counter smiled and bowed, "Okay, Mr. Bai Lang."
Bai Lang nodded, then stood up and walked towards the gate with Deng Yougang who was carrying a spear beside him.
The lady at the counter looked up and found that the two had turned and left, so she quickly said, "Wait!"
Bai Lang stopped and turned around in surprise and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The lady at the counter walked forward quickly, took a breath, and whispered, "It's like this. You two are now Orichalcum-level adventurers, and I happen to have a large commission for Orichalcum-level and Adamantium-level adventurers. I wonder... are you two interested?"
"Oh?" Bai Lang's eyes lit up and he said with interest, "Tell me about it!"
…
…
The Royal City of Luo Lent is located in the deepest part of the royal capital and is built on a hill.
As the royal palace of the human kingdom Ri-Yestije, the Royal City of Luo-Lent is protected by a double wall. The outermost wall is about 1,400 meters long, and a round tower stands every 100 meters between the walls.
The four high towers of the inner city wall and the twelve high towers of the outer city wall are evenly spaced, together guarding the central castle.
In the magnificent palace, a group of people were walking on the precious and luxurious carpet carrying heavy bags.
Soon, they pushed open a door and walked into the princess' bedroom filled with sunlight.
There, a beautiful princess with long golden hair stood by the window, turning her head and looking at everyone with a smile.
She was wearing a white dress and a crown with red flowers on her head. Her beautiful face had deep blue eyes that easily reminded people of the purest sapphire, and her smiling lips were like cherry blossoms, full of soft colors.
Without a doubt, this person is the kingdom's 'Golden Princess' Lana Tierre Charleston Laile Vansef!
Opposite her, the five women carrying heavy luggage were none other than the Kingdom's fine steel-class adventurer team, Blue Rose.
This is a team that brings together the strongest female adventurers in the kingdom, led by the faith magic caster Lakis, as well as the power magic caster Ibiruai, the warrior Gagran, and the thief twin sisters Tia and Tina.
“clang!”
As the members of the Cang Qiangwei team put down their bags, several crisp sounds of metal collisions were heard.
As the strongest steel-level adventurers in the kingdom, it would be somewhat inappropriate for Cang Qiangwei and her group to enter the royal city fully armed, so they put their entire set of equipment into bags and carried them with them.
Putting down the heavy bag, Lagis rolled her shoulders and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, do you have any official business to attend to later?"
Lana smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "It doesn't matter, those official duties can be postponed, it's okay."
Lagis blinked, looked around, and asked in surprise, "Where's your Clem?"
Princess Lana's face darkened when she heard this. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "He was injured last night and is still resting."
Lagis was slightly startled, then frowned: "Injured?"
The tall female warrior next to her, Geglan, raised her eyebrows and snorted, "Who did it?"
Lana sighed softly, then smiled again and said softly: "It's like this, everyone from Cang Qiangwei, some unexpected situations happened last night, and I think it is necessary to change some of the plans..."
With that, Lana told him everything that happened last night.
It turned out that Lana's personal bodyguard Clem had broken into the underground brothel run by Eight Fingers with the two of them last night and rescued many miserable women who were abducted by Eight Fingers.
During this period, Climb and the other two encountered many eight-fingered assassins, and also met the "Phantom Demon" Succulent, one of the "Six Arms".
The so-called Six Arms refers to the security department of Eight Fingers, and the six most powerful people among them are Six Arms.
Although the strength of the Six Arms members varies, they can all be compared to the Adamantium-level adventurers.
“So, Climb arrested one of the six-armed demons, Succulent, last night?”
The female warrior Geglan said with great interest: "That's quite a trick!"
Lana smiled slightly, but then she shook her head and said modestly, "Ms. Gagran, you are too kind. Clem didn't really help much last night. The other two were the ones who really contributed."
"One of them is Brian Unglaus, you may have heard of his name."
Gagran and Lagis exchanged a glance and nodded solemnly, "Indeed, I heard that he was a genius swordsman who had never lost a match. Later, he was defeated by the Kingdom Warrior Captain Gurdjieff Stronoff in the Kingdom Royal Tournament and has disappeared since then."
"But even so, he is still on par with Warrior Captain Gazef, and possesses the strength to rival the strongest warriors in the kingdom."
Lana nodded and said, "That's what Climb said. He was defeated by the 'Phantom' Succulent last night. It was Master Brain who saved him. Then Master Brain defeated Succulent with just one sword."
"Did you only use one sword?"
Everyone in Cang Qiangwei looked at each other and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the rumors are true!"
Gegran smiled and said, "It is indeed his luck to meet Brian Anglaus... What about the other one?"
Lana said softly, "That is an old man named Sebastian. According to Climb, he possesses unimaginable strength. Even Master Brain, who defeated Succulent with one sword, insisted that he was no match for this old man."
"……ah?"
Everyone in Cang Qiangwei was shocked.
Behind the crowd, the masked magic chanter Ibiruai said calmly, "The fact that Brian Unglaus, who is as famous as the Warrior Captain, made such an evaluation shows that he does have real power."
"But I have never heard of such a great person. I am really confused..."
As Ibiruai said this, the atmosphere became a little solemn, as if everyone was suspicious of this mysterious old man.
But then, Lagis clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, let's put this issue aside for now. No matter what, he helped Climb after all, so he is more or less a righteous man. Princess Lana, it's time to talk about business, right?"
"Um."
Lana nodded and said softly, "According to the original plan, we have to launch the attack extremely covertly, gradually attack the seven Eight Finger strongholds we control, and eliminate them one by one."
"But now, Climb has already alerted the enemy last night. In order to prevent Eight Fingers from reacting, I want to attack all the locations mentioned in the intelligence at the same time today and capture them all in one go!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.
Lagis glanced at her silent companions and frowned, "But Princess, if we do this, we won't have enough manpower, right?"
"Besides us, Cang Qiangwei, do you have other helpers? You can't hire adventurers, right?"
The influence of the Eight Fingers penetrates into every aspect of the kingdom, and they also have allies of interest among the kingdom's nobles and the military.
It would be the most foolish thing to do to blindly recruit people in order to destroy all of Eight Fingers' strongholds in one go, because now they don't know who is colluding with Eight Fingers, nor do they know who can be trusted.
As for adventurers, there is an unwritten rule in the Adventurer's Guild that they are not allowed to intervene in disputes between humans.
Although the Blue Roses are also adventurers, they are the strongest of the Steel Grade, and their leader Lagis is friends with Princess Lana, so they are not worried about being expelled from the Adventurer's Guild.
Princess Lana smiled and said, "I know adventurers cannot interfere in disputes between humans, but that only applies to low-level adventurers. If you are like the members of Blue Rose, who have strength that even the Adventurer's Guild fears, then there should be no problem, right?"
“…”
Laqisi, Gagran and others looked at each other and couldn't help asking, "Who did you hire?"
Lana chuckled and said, "Have you heard of the warrior duo that has become famous recently, the Azure Sword and the Silver Spear?"
