Chapter 821 - 508
Chapter 821 -508
Under the astonished gazes of everyone at the Mercenary Guild, Lis firmly grasped a man dressed in a black robe with his right hand.
The man was short in stature, barely 1.5 meters tall, but the terrifying speed he had just displayed was not clearly seen by many of the mercenaries present.
Lis’s hand struggled mightily, but his right hand was as unshakable as if forged from steel.
In desperation, the man produced from nowhere a dagger gleaming with cold light and thrust it straight toward Lis’s chest, drawing an arc through the air.
Seeing that the man not only did not immediately surrender and beg for mercy but also launched an attack on Lis, Lis, too, was amused.
In an instant, terrible Magic Power radiated out from Lis’s body, whipping up whirlwinds that knocked over nearby tables and chairs, and even some of the weaker mercenaries could not withstand the sudden gusts and fell to the ground.
Instantly, azure magic light transformed into several long ropes, tightly binding the short man in black before Lis.
The wind blew off the hood the man in black was wearing, revealing the face of an average middle-aged man to everyone.
“Hmm? Isn’t that Palos?”
Many of the mercenaries below recognized the man, expressing their surprise.
“Didn’t he go somewhere else before, how has he appeared here again?”
“Moreover, I remember him being a Gold Rank Thief, right?”
“That…”
Instantly, many mercenaries came to the realization.
As a Gold Rank Thief, Palos was somewhat famous in Cui Feng City’s mercenary circles.
Several recognized him, but seeing Palos caught like a rat by Lis, everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath of cold air, and the temperature in the Mercenary Tavern seemed to rise slightly.
So easily capturing Palos, the Gold Rank Thief, what was the deal with this young man called Lis?
Could he possibly be a Legendary Strongman?
All those precious treasures were still lying on the table in front of Lis, shining with magical light, but no one dared to think about snatching them from Lis anymore.
The few mercenaries who had been slightly tempted just now were all hunkering down, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.
“Hogan, can you catch Palos like he did?”
In a corner of the tavern, Bunian, one of the only two Gold Rank mercenaries, said to his friend beside him.
“Are you kidding me?”
Hogan shook his head vigorously, his eyes fixed on Lis on the high platform, no longer displaying the comfortable ease he had before.
“Although I’m stronger than Palos, at best I could only defeat him head-on, catching him would be impossible, not to mention doing it as effortlessly as he did.”
After a moment of Silence, Bunian continued:
“… So, do you think he is a Legendary Strongman?”
“Probably not.”
Though skeptical, Hogan continued.
He had once seen that Legendary Warrior of the Gordon Kingdom. The aura Lis had unleashed was strong, leaving him with no thoughts of resistance, but it indeed lacked that unique feeling of a Legendary Rank.
Even so, Hogan felt that facing Lis was no different than facing a Legendary Strongman.
In any case, it was an instant defeat!
“This kind of strongman coming to Cui Feng City at this time, could it really be to end that war?”
Hogan muttered to himself, after all, Lis had mentioned that the White Dove Mercenary Corps he was planning to establish was for the dreadful war in the Ely Hills.
At this moment, Hogan suddenly noticed Bunian walking towards the front and quickly asked:
“Bunian, where are you going?”
“To join the Lily Mercenary Corps!”
Bunian said without looking back:
“This man will surely become Legendary Crown in the future, how could I miss such a rare opportunity?”
“Really…”
“Damn… Bunian, wait for me, I’ll go with you!”
…
The recent incident didn’t disturb the urgent plans at all; on the contrary, it made the atmosphere of the mercenaries signing up for the White Dove Mercenary Corps even more enthusiastic.
After Lis demonstrated his fearsome strength, though the mercenaries gave up any ill-intentioned ideas, another thought emerged.
Such statements from a strongman should be true, right?
Those who were in Cui Feng City at this time were naturally there for the lucrative war commissions and tasks, unconcerned about danger.
Taking solo missions compared with joining this White Dove Mercenary Corps seemed to make no difference.
Maybe there really was a chance to exchange for those treasures!
As for the player characters, there’s no need to say more. From the moment Lis appeared, they had decided to join the White Dove Mercenary Corps.
Danger?
Non-existent!
The bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish!
Lis, with a beaming smile, began the recruitment work after casting aside the firmly controlled Gold-level Assassin Palos.
In fact, he didn’t need to trouble himself too much.
Before this, he had already reached a cooperation agreement with Mercenary Guild of Cui Feng City.
After Lis showed his power, the silver-haired, overworked Guild Master of the Mercenary Guild immediately agreed to Lis’s cooperation and promised to support the White Dove Mercenary Corps in various ways.
No matter the current situation of the battle in the Ely Hills, as the Guild Master of Cui Feng City’s Mercenary Guild, he could only choose to support the Gordon Kingdom.
Otherwise, if Gordon Kingdom’s frontlines collapsed, never mind the title of Guild Master, whether he could even survive was another matter.
As for the ordinary mercenaries, Lis wasn’t concerned; he was more interested in recruiting player characters.
Though the players’ strengths were not up to par yet, being Bronze Rank Professionals, with more than half of version 2.0 passed, most players had reached the version cap of level 50.
