Diablo Destruction

The next day, outside Akara's tent, Kasha was already sitting there. Maybe this lazy guy slept here last night in order not to be late. It's not impossible to think about it.

"Hey, Wu, morning! What's going on? Your face is a little pale. Your body hasn't recovered yet, so don't do too strenuous 'exercise'!"

When Kasha saw me coming over with a pale face and shaky steps, she "consoled" me with a wicked smile - could this gossip girl have heard something? No way!

I gave up feebly, indicating that I was not in the mood to talk anymore. Although her guess was good, I went to that kind of place, but the reason for my weakness was not because of that...

Ladies' Street, this popular and direct name, doesn't surprise me at all when it comes from a rude barbarian like Doug. I guess if those paladins or mages would have a more elegant way of saying it.

As the name of the street suggests, it is actually a collection of brothels. Every woman in it is a poor woman who has lost her family and has no one to rely on. In order to support themselves or their family members who are also unable to work, they can only choose this kind of street. Work is completely different from the women in the original world who engaged in this kind of work purely because of their depravity. Therefore, the status of women here is not low. At least, even noble job transferees are not. They cannot be forced to trade.

After the monster attack that affected the adventurers in the entire Rogge camp, the business of the Women's Street (let's call it Doug) has been very prosperous in recent days. Barbarians, druids, assassins, and even mages and paladins can... See, there are those mercenaries, of course. There is a profession that is unlikely to be seen...

Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but feel relieved, ha, we are all men.

However, before I could feel at ease, suddenly a few idiots shouted in front of me: "Master Wu Fan, it turns out you are here too, haha..."

In an instant. I seemed to feel that all eyes were focused on me. I stared blankly at those idiots, my face was ashen, and I couldn't say anything for a moment.

You can imagine that in the original world, when you finally made up your mind to have a fling in a nightclub, a few people suddenly walked across from you and greeted you in a voice louder than the heavy metal music: "Secretary of the xx Municipal Party Committee. So you are here too. **Ah, haha...what a coincidence, let's go whoring together..."

If you are immersed in the scene, you can understand my mood at that time.

Doug, a bastard who has been stabbed a thousand times, seems to be afraid that others will not know. They dragged me, who was extremely frustrated, around the entire women's street several times, like a demonstration, and then irresponsibly stuffed me into a tent. I went away happily. I never thought that my first time would be in such a state of despair. Fortunately, the sister who accompanied me was very pretty and had a good figure. It was said that there were many people there. Famous woman. If it were a dinosaur, I would have to tear Doug alive, hum...

In short, if it is not necessary in the future, it is better to avoid going to such places.

"Anyway, something happened this time."

I lay weakly on the grass with a piece of grass in my mouth.

"Let's wait until Kane and the others arrive."

Kasha took out a wine bottle from his waist—unexpectedly, Farah could make another one for Kasha in just a few days. The efficiency is pretty good. But based on my understanding of that stingy old man, I guess Kasha had some leverage. I just have to do it for her.

After a while, Kane walked over with his crutches in high spirits, and then Farah came almost at the right time. Tsk, acting as if he was a busy man and we were just leisurely. The three of them came at the same time. He gave him a look of contempt.

Farah came forward, and Oss Akara, as if he had calculated correctly, slowly opened the tent, holding a cane in one hand, and a large bottle in the other hand, with hot steam coming out of it. It turned out that she was just preparing some refreshing water for greetings.

Looking back, the old man Farah took out a set of exquisite symposium-style tables and chairs from the inventory at some point, and then arranged a soundproof barrier around them.

I said, can't you put something meaningful in your inventory?

I murmured and pulled out a chair and sat down. There were exactly five chairs, no more and no less. It seemed that it had been planned in advance, which made me even more vigilant. The four people sitting in front of me were all old foxes, and I was among them. In his eyes, he was probably only a lamb-level creature at most.

"Then, let's discuss the report on this battle first."

As if Akala didn't see the confusion on my face, he took out a parchment from his arms, with some words densely written inside.

"This is calculated by Kane, and contains the specific losses in this battle."

She pointed to the parchment on the table, but the other three didn't seem to have any intention of taking action. It was probably that the data had already been engraved in their hearts.

Only I, who didn't have a comprehensive understanding of this battle, picked up the parchment cautiously and read it carefully in order to forget the weird atmosphere.

Deaths, injuries, this is the data Akala told me, as well as the specific consumption of grain land, gold coin expenditures, the existing reserves in Rogge camp, and even the damage this battle has caused to this year's harvest, how many families have completely lost their lives because of this battle There are relatively detailed data on the loss of labor force, etc. It is really true that Kane has covered everything.

After I read the parchment carefully, the four people started discussing it.

"Collect donations from job-changers or..." Akara.

"After this battle, the price of food will definitely increase, but the income of civilians..." Kane.

"Leave it to me to strengthen the village's defense and research the magic alarm..." Farah.

"When necessary, we can also negotiate with Lu Gaoyin..." Akara.

It felt like their conversation was exactly a topic that would only be touched on by those senior officials sitting around a round table with their stomachs puffed out and their legs crossed. I knew nothing about any of this, so I stood there blankly in a daze, unable to speak at all, and feeling even more like an outsider than an outsider.

Ah, maybe there is another guy who has the same problem as me, poor Kasha, she doesn't seem to have anything to say, but her mentality is much better than mine. Or it can be said that you are thick-skinned. At this time, you are drinking a sip of ale and a sip of refreshing water. Hey, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?

The two main players in this discussion, Akara and Kane, finally let me see their strength, and those problems that in my eyes have almost no solution. But after their careful negotiation, I began to feel that these problems did not seem to be difficult.

As expected, not everyone can be a manager. Although Akara and Kane are not as strong as Farah and the others, they are truly indispensable figures to the entire Rogge camp.

The discussion lasted for more than two hours. Each of the problems on the parchment seemed to have been almost solved. I was the only one who could hear it. This year, the Rogge camp may be a little tighter. As long as this year is over, the next year will be able to return to the pre-war level.

"Okay, let's stop this topic." Akara smiled lightly and put away the parchment on the table.

"Dear Wu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm afraid you are also wondering why we old guys specially called you here."

"Yeah."

I nodded my head like a chicken pecking at rice. I was ignored for almost 3 hours. At this moment, I really felt like I was filled with tears.

"hehe……"

The four of them looked at each other, and then laughed softly, as if four old foxes were surrounding a chicken, discussing how to bite it, which immediately gave me a feeling of thorns on my back.

Finally, Hua Akara spoke.

"Although it's a bit of a formula. But I still want to ask you a few questions."

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Do you like Camp Rogue?"

Akara's first question left me a little confused, but I nodded anyway.

"Do you want to protect someone important to you?"

I continued to nod. Isn't this nonsense?

"Can you do something for the people in Rogge's camp?"

"It depends on the person and what they have paid for it." I replied without missing a beat.

"Then, one last question." Akara glanced at me appreciatively, and then took a deep breath, which made me suddenly nervous.

"Are you very free?"

"Huh? Ah! Yeah." The completely unexpected question made me nod subconsciously.

"That's great."

Akara said with a smile as if a fish had taken the bait.

"Welcome to join us."

She took out another parchment roll from her arms and unfolded it. Then Kasha took advantage of my daze, cut my fingers at lightning speed, and then pressed on it.

"Wait, what are you doing..." Why do I feel like I am being forced to sign a contract of prostitution?

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

Kasha, the culprit, held my hand without any consciousness at this time and shook it desperately. Her happy look seemed to say, ah! Finally found the scapegoat.

"Haha, don't pay attention to Kasha's words, Nuo, just see for yourself." Akara's smile was particularly terrifying today.

I picked up the parchment tremblingly, and for a moment, I only saw four bright red characters on it - Honorary Elder.

"Honorary Elder?"

"That's it." Farah patted my shoulder with a sad expression.

"You want me to be the one?"

The four of them nodded in unison.

"Are you kidding? I can't do this."

I shook my head as if I had taken several kilograms of ecstasy. If it weren't for the two old bts, Kasha and Farah, I would have run away.

"It doesn't matter, we will consider your ability."

"What are the responsibilities of an honorary elder?" I am not stupid enough to go to the YY first and have no rights.

"It's nothing. There are some urgent tasks, just like this monster attack. The most important thing for you now is to improve your strength. We will deal with other tasks later."

As if he saw the worries in my heart, Akara continued to say with a smile.

"Don't worry, we won't force anyone to do anything. Moreover, if you agree, everyone will be equal in the future. No one can force anyone. If you have any questions about the task and don't want to do it, you can refuse. We will What you gave was not an order. It was a request."

"Then why do you insist on giving me the status of an honorary elder? Even if you don't give it, if you have any tasks, as long as the difficulty is not high, I will be happy to accept it." I calmly analyzed the doubts inside.

"Wu, maybe you are not a genius, but there is no doubt that you are a pragmatic person, and I just appreciate this in you." Akara nodded with satisfaction.

"We don't have any other intentions. We just hope that with this identity, you can think more about everything for Rogge Camp... no, the entire Dark Continent." She sighed and looked at me deeply. One glance.

"..."

Is this what is called a bond? I couldn't help but recall the blood-red demon bear in my mind. Thinking blankly.

"So, can you tell me, honorary elder, what rights do you have?" I was stunned for a long time. Finally he showed his face and smiled.

The four people in Akara breathed a sigh of relief. This is really the best result. If I don't agree, they can't really do anything to me.

"You can mobilize soldiers from the entire Rogge camp, even mercenaries. At critical moments, even job transferees must obey." Kasha said seductively, looking at my uninterested face. I couldn't help but be disappointed.

"You can freely enter and leave the Mage Guild, and you will even have priority to experience the latest magic props." Farah said with great dignity from the side. No, this is absolutely out of the question.

"You can browse the information at will, including the most confidential documents." Kane smiled and stroked his white beard. If I have the time, I might as well stay with Sara for a while.

"Have the right to use remote transmission." Akara's words were concise and shocking, but they moved my heart the most.

"Teleportation? It means that I can even teleport directly from Rogge's camp to Harrogath. I can also come back from there." I said with bright eyes.

"You're only half right." Akara said to me mysteriously.

"You can teleport from Rogge Camp to anywhere, including Harrogas, but coming back from there is not within my rights. You must obtain the consent of the leader there."

"Huh? In other words, it's just one-way transmission?" I sighed in disappointment.

"Don't be discouraged. I will write a letter in my own hand, old lady, and they will probably sell some thin noodles. However, they may also give you some small tests. These should be no problem for you."

"No, absolutely not." I said happily, teleportation, isn't this just like a game, you can run around?

"Don't be too happy." Farah glared at me from the side.

"Remote transmission consumes a lot of money, so don't cause any trouble for us."

"The most I can do is compensate..."

In my happiness, I started to spend money. As soon as I finished speaking, I found myself digging my own grave.

"Hey, that's not a bad tone, but I heard that your kid's explosive rate is really good." Kasha looked at me with bright eyes.

"Boy, the Mages Guild will be counting on you from now on."

Farah patted my shoulder, as if you could teleport as many times as you wanted and it would be all around me.

"Hey..." This is what is called getting carried away.

However, this loss is nothing to me. After thinking about it, I have finalized the several issues they just discussed.

"Crash..."

There was a clear sound of metal hitting, and a steady stream of gold coins poured out of my inventory. After a while, it accumulated to the height of a table.

"Sir Akara said that he would ask for donations or loans from job transferees, so I will be the first one."

"Oh my, this is really spectacular."

Akala said with a smile, in fact, the money is not that much. Think about it, just identifying the scroll costs 50 gold coins, but tens of thousands of gold and silver coins are piled together, and the dazzling light is somewhat exaggerated.

"It's so damning. I've heard that you kid is rich. I didn't expect you to be so rich." Kasha said with a look of unwillingness, seeming to regret that he didn't extort more when he was in Vitas Village.

Ha, we must not let them know that I still have a lot of them in the storage box, I thought silently when I saw Kasha and Farah looking like they were obsessed with money.

But to be honest, I have no idea about gold coins now. If it weren't for the lazy crow who enjoys collecting them, I might not be too lazy to pick them up.

"A total of 18,432 gold coins. I accepted the 13,508 silver coins shamelessly."

Akara's words shocked me. How many minutes had passed and it was already settled? Is this the so-called three-dimensional scanning + human computer function? Looking at Akara's pair of white blind eyes, the ability of the Great Eye. It suddenly seemed mysterious and unpredictable in my mind.

Then, Farah used magic to engrave two copies of the parchment. One was kept by Akara and the other was given to me.

"Just because you are an elder, I cannot accept your gold coins in vain. Everything must be done according to the rules." Akara said.

Next…

"Boy, I manage six training camps by myself (the training camps for wizards and necromancers are together). It's quite hard. How about you help me share the load." Kasha patted my shoulder pretending to be friendly. said.

Nonsense, when did you manage the training camp seriously? I gave him a bs look.

"Wu, there's a little trouble with my record work there. Do you think..." Kane's words made me very embarrassed. Don't you know that I am quasi-illiterate?

"The guild still lacks an elder, and I think this position belongs to you." Farah whispered in my ear mysteriously.

Come on, I want to be the elder of the Magic Guild. I guarantee that I will be infamous in less than half a day. And I don’t think you look like you are missing an elder. You might be missing a guinea pig for research.

I could see through Farah's thoughts at a glance.

"Okay, okay, Wu, the most important thing now is experience. Improve your strength, and none of you can have any bad ideas." The bandit leader Akara said, and the other three people immediately shut up obediently.

"By the way, if I can use remote teleportation at will, can I go to Lu Gaoyin now without killing Andariel?" I asked as if asking.

"As an elder, of course you can." Akara gave me an affirmative answer.

"But are you really sure you want to go to Lu Gaoyin now? If so. Then I have to prepare a letter."

"No. I'm just saying."

As soon as the excitement of happiness passed, I immediately woke up - why were I in such a hurry? Do you really want to be the savior deep down in your heart? I laughed hard at myself.

"That's okay. With your current level, I think there is still some improvement in Rogge's camp. If the example can be correct, it is best not to destroy it." Akara suggested.

"Well, I will think about it carefully."

In fact, I have already made up my mind - I will at least kill Andariel before going to Lugaoin. After all, I was also a fan of darkness. With my current strength, how can I do it if I have never even seen Andariel? Can you leave with peace of mind? To put it bluntly, Andariel's violent stuff also makes me want to stop.

"Well, well, this meeting ends here. At the end, let us welcome Wu Di to join us again..." Akara said in conclusion, and then the four people clapped their hands to me.

"Hehe..." I don't need to be reminded, I also know that my face is a little rosy now. From now on, I will also be a member of the bandit leader.

"Then, Wu, I have one last suggestion. Take advantage of this time to have a good conversation with Farah and Kasha. As for the problems that arose when you fought Belial last time, the three of you should discuss them among yourselves. Let’s deal with it, old lady, I’m not very knowledgeable in this area, okay, I’m going to greet the guests…”

Several adventurers from afar came over. Farah immediately removed the soundproofing spell. Akara also immediately put away the bottles and cups, turned around and got into his small tent.

"Ah, by the way, Wu." When a few of us were about to disperse, Kasha suddenly stopped me.

"This is what Beryl dropped last time. I almost forgot about it."

Then, she took out a complete diamond, a cracked sapphire, a rune, a leather glove with a green light, a pair of heavy boots with a light golden light, and a blue suit from her inventory. scales, and a blue-wolf head? ? ?

omg…

"Ha, don't worry, I didn't help you identify it. Your own things must be identified by yourself to be valuable."

Kasha is indeed a veteran, and she explained the excitement of the equipment in just one sentence. Unexpectedly, she can also be considerate.

"However, that green leather glove is obvious, and there is no value in excitement or expectation. For the sake of economy, you should let old man Kane help you identify it."

"Lord Kane, I'm sorry to bother you."

I woke up from the excitement and nodded happily. Kasha was right. The attributes of green equipment are generally fixed. With Kane here, there is really no need to waste precious identification scrolls.

"Haha, Wu, you are already an elder now. If you call me "sir" again, I will feel very uncomfortable." Kane smiled and took my leather gloves politely.

"You're right, just call him Old Man Kane from now on." Kasha immediately echoed.

I glared at Kasha. Respecting the old and caring for the young is a traditional Chinese virtue. Besides, Kane's knowledge and demeanor are definitely worth learning and respecting.

"Then, I'll call you Grandpa Kane from now on. You won't mind, right?"

"Well, ah, is this okay? Of course I won't mind..."

Kane didn't expect me to say that. He was stunned for a while before showing a happy smile.

"Humph, your mouth is quite sweet." Kasha hummed on the side.

"Grandma Kasha..." I turned my head and looked at Kasha expressionlessly.

"You bastard..." Kasha gritted her teeth in anger.

"Both siblings are the same. What evil did I do in my previous life..."

"By the way, in addition to these equipment and gems, there should be a lot of gold coins."

I originally wanted to let her go, but seeing her exaggerated look, I couldn't help but said in embarrassment.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do at the training camp, so let's do this for now..."

Before I could recover, Kasha was gone.
