Chapter 827 -511: The Sword of the Knight of Glory and the Man in the Grey Robe
Cui Feng City, Mercenary Guild,
Blair looked at Lis in shock, not knowing how to respond.
He was certain he was seeing this young man named Lis for the first time, so why would he invite him to join the newly established White Dove Mercenary Corps?
Just moments ago, he thought Lis was planning to forcefully keep him here and take back the payment for his Brass Ring, but he quickly realized there was no need for that.
After all, Lis’s strength completely overwhelmed him; there was no chance of running away, Blair felt there was no room for resistance.
So why make it so complicated? It would have been easier to wait until he left and then ambush him.
Although he wasn’t terribly worried, Blair still found it strange.
For some reason, Lis seemed to understand him very well.
But he was just an ordinary traveling merchant; even though a Silver Rank Ranger, he shouldn’t be much in front of this noble youth.
Lis picked up his cup and said with a smile:
“You don’t need to look so scared; I did indeed understand you beforehand.”
“You want to return to your hometown and establish your own guild, don’t you?”
The bustling noise of the Mercenary Tavern continued, but Blair paid no attention to anyone else.
He felt as if he were naked, entirely seen through by Lis sitting in front of him, with no secrets at all.
“The wealth I gave you is enough to establish a small guild, but are you content with just this?”
Lis tapped the round table in front of him lightly and said with a smile:
“You should understand that if you come to help me, your starting point will be far stronger than doing it alone, and if any danger arises, I can offer you protection.”
“I can even promise that if you do well in the White Dove Mercenary Corps, you can become the president of a guild under me, or I can help you establish a new guild. It’s not a problem.”
Lis offered Blair conditions that others would consider exceptionally favorable, but he didn’t care.
After all, what he gave Blair seemed a lot, but in the end, it was just some wealth.
After leaving the Elf Forest, due to the terrifying wealth accumulated by the Elf Kingdom from countless years of trade with the Human Kingdom, aside from supporting the development of Nature’s Wrath, Lis’s personal treasury was quite ample.
The fifty thousand gold coins he just gave Blair were nothing to Lis.
Blair’s experiences in his previous life proved he was quite capable and talented. Spending a bit of money to save himself much trouble was something Lis was happy to do.
And to be honest, having those plot NPCs from his past life work for him felt quite satisfying to Lis.
“…I am willing.”
Though somewhat bemused, Blair accepted Lis’s proposal.
There was no choice; the conditions were too tempting!
Whether it was the purchase of his Brass Ring before or the current invitation to work for him, the conditions Lis offered were too irresistible for a Silver Rank Ranger like Blair.
Moreover, Blair noticed the reverent glances that the mercenaries and tavern attendants cast at Lis; this young man seemed to be an important figure he didn’t recognize.
Given such an opportunity, Blair made a quick decision to agree after a simple consideration.
Among the many mercenaries in the Mercenary Guild, few had the chance to enter higher ranks.
Undoubtedly, for many mercenaries, serving the Kingdom or being hired by great nobles was quite a good path, but few mercenaries got such opportunities.
Blair knew very well that it was extremely difficult to get an opportunity like this with his strength, and the invitation from Lis was rare.
Upon receiving Blair’s affirmative response, Lis nodded slightly and tossed Blair a badge engraved with a winged dove.
The matters of the White Dove Mercenary Corps were left to Blair; they were just trivialities, and he had long wanted to find someone to handle them.
Lis had already organized the operational model of the White Dove Mercenary Corps; the rest was just slowly harvesting the experience points of the players.
Other than bounty tasks like those, Lis wasn’t too concerned.
After all, the players in the “vegetable field” were highly self-motivated.
Especially under the stimulation of specific individuals…
Lis glanced at Hei Malou, standing honestly aside and seemingly recording something, then took Blair away.
After transferring the mercenary group’s affairs, Lis would have his hands free to deal with the matters regarding the Evil God believers in Cui Feng City.
…
Watching Lis and Blair leave, Hei Malou was elated.
Where there’s a child crying daily, and where gamblers lose every day!
Didn’t he bet right this time?

An excited heart, trembling hands.
Hei Malou opened the reward draw interface, and a special golden roulette appeared in front of him.
In the center of the roulette was a dove badge, which Blair was very familiar with; it was the symbol of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.
The golden roulette emitted enchanting colorful glows, with the golden needle pointing at the twelve o’clock position. Below the needle were numerous different slots, each filled with the virtual shadows of various weapons, making Hei Malou dazzled.
