Chapter 1288: Prison (I)
The scene he saw in the slave auction house always lingered in Zhan Chen's heart, and he didn't come to his senses until he came to the door of the Adventurers' Guild. The Adventurers' Guild of Atina is much more majestic than that of Fort Westburg, a seven-story circular building, with no buildings within fifty meters of the Guild, and a steady stream of people from the Guild nearby, most of whom are subhumans with various strange shapes.
Zhan Chen sorted out his mood and entered the hall, and followed Slane and the others to the task bar, and saw that the tasks on the bar were more than ten times more than those of Westburg, in addition to the tasks issued by the guild itself, there were also many privately commissioned tasks, but these privately commissioned tasks were not given star ratings, and they would not increase honor points after completion, but instead they were rewarded in kind or money, which was quite exciting. It's just that the descriptions of those private missions are very vague, most of them require interviews, and the dangers they may encounter are unknown, so it is up to the adventurer's own experience to judge these tasks.
At this moment, Slane said to Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, how about we complete the privately released mission this time?"
Zhan Chen replied, "I don't care. ”
Slane began to search for the characters on the taskbar, and after a while he locked on to a target and said to the group, "Let's take the 386th mission." ”
Everyone looked at the mission, and its content seemed quite simple, that is, a slave owner named Baturu wanted to hire a hundred adventurers to take care of his house, and he could pay each adventurer 500 top-grade star stones every month.
Xie Liana said excitedly: "Dad, this task is quite simple, you don't need to take any risks, you can earn five hundred top-grade star stones in a month." ”
Klein also said: "Yes, this is a rare good opportunity to earn Star Stones, we have to hurry up, otherwise the quota will be snatched up by others." ”
Slane looked smug and said, "Well, it's still my sharp eyes." ”
"But I don't know if they want us, our cultivation is not high," Klein said again, looking a little unconfident.
"In my experience, our cultivation is enough, because the condition offered by the other party is only five hundred top-grade star stones in one month, think about it, if it is a strong cultivation master, will you be able to look at such a few star stones?"
"Also, it seems that I was overthinking. ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
Several people quickly came to the counter, asked for information about Batulu, and searched all the way to his huge manor, and saw that many adventurers had arrived here like them.
The facts also seemed to prove their judgment, and many adventurers came out of the mansion one after another, and they all sighed, obviously eliminated.
Soon, it was Slane's turn to them, Zhan Chen entered the mansion with everyone, and came to a luxuriously decorated hall under the guidance of a beautiful hospitality, Zhan Chen looked forward, only to see a bloated bluebell star sitting in the middle of the hall, his appearance looked no different from other bluebell stars, so that Zhan Chen could not distinguish him from other bluebell stars.
There were also ten beautiful women standing on each side of this bluebell star, all of them dressed in revealing clothes and powdered, and they were placed together with this ugly big man, forming a huge contrast, giving people a feeling of extreme disharmony.
When the leader saw the big man, he bowed down and said, "Master, these are the next few people who want to apply for guards." ”
Zhan Chen could hear it, and the bluebell star in front of him was very much their employer on this mission, Baturu.
Baturu raised his hand and waved, and the leader retreated, and then Baturu looked at Zhan Chen and the others with his dim bull's eyes, and finally his gaze was fixed on Xie Lena's body, his eyes flashed with amazement, and finally tore open his huge mouth, it looked like he was laughing, but it was too terrifying, and it made people shudder.
I heard Baturu ask next, "You are here to apply for my guard?"
Slane stepped forward and replied, "Yes, these people are all members of our squad. ”
Baturu nodded slowly and said, "Okay, okay, you've been hired." ”
Hearing him say this, Xie Liana and the others were very happy.
Baturu continued: "However, you still have to make a contract with me, and if you break the contract, not only will you not be paid, but we will also have to pay us the corresponding liquidated damages." ”
Slane immediately agreed, saying, "This is natural, and the principle of our adventurers is that since we have accepted the employer's task, we must complete the task even if we risk our lives. ”
Baturu said to a beautiful woman next to him, "Jenokawa, you can hand them the contract." ”
"Got it. Jenokava replied, as she walked over to Slane and handed him several contracts.
Slane took the contract and looked at it, this contract had already written everything, and pointed out that if they didn't complete the task, not only would they not get any reward for the star stones, but they would also not have to pay liquidated damages of five thousand top-grade star stones per person, which was already a lot of money for a powerhouse in the Earth Star Realm.
After a while, Baturu asked, "Are you watching?"
"Alright. Slane nodded.
"If you have no objection, sign it and put your fingerprint on it. ”
Slane and the others immediately pressed their handprints, and Baturu ordered someone to take back the agreement, and then said: "Then our contract will come into effect, you can go to the back room to rest first, and someone will arrange for you to work tomorrow." ”
"Okay. ”
Then a beautiful woman led them out of the hall and went to the guest room to rest. Not to mention that Zhan Chen entered his room and sat down and began to think about today's events, Slane just happened to take on the task of a slave owner, which seemed to be secretly hinting at something.
However, Zhan Chen hesitated, if he released those slaves without permission, it would pose a huge threat to Slane and the others, because he already had a certain understanding of Baturu during the previous inquiry.
Baturu was one of the largest slave owners in Atina, and he had a prison where tens of thousands of slaves were held, so he often had to hire adventurers to run his prison.
However, to be able to become the great slave master of Atina is to have strength in itself, in fact, Baturu himself is a master of the three-star stellar realm, and he also has four or five stellar realm powerhouses as guards, among which the one with the highest cultivation has reached the five-star stellar realm, in addition, there are thousands of loyal subordinates, and the cultivation of these people has also reached the high-level star realm.
If you want to implement the plan, then you must do it unnoticed, otherwise you will harm others and yourself if you are discovered. However, now he has too little information, let alone action, so Zhan Chen has to stay in the house and wait quietly for the next day.
The next morning, Zhan Chen followed Slane and the others to the meeting place, and found that in addition to them, there were more than a dozen other people already waiting there, these people should be adventurers who were used like himself, and most of their cultivation was below the five-star earth star realm, it seemed that it was indeed as Slane said, adventurers with high cultivation could not look down on the income of the five hundred top-grade star stones per month.
After a short time, a man in uniform arrived, he first glanced at the people present, and then asked, "Are all the adventurers hired yesterday here?"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't answer.
The man in uniform nodded, "Okay then, you come with me." Then he turned around and left, and Zhan Chen and the others followed him away.
After leaving the manor, the group went north, walked about two kilometers, and saw a huge fortress appear in the field of vision, and from a distance, Zhan Chen saw that there were many guards patrolling outside the high walls of the prison, obviously heavily guarded.
If there were no special means of concealment, it would be impossible to slip away from so many cultivators with powerful divine thoughts. Not only that, Zhan Chen also felt the aura of formation from the surroundings of the prison, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought: "This prison looks really invulnerable from the surface." ”
The leader was stopped by the guards when he reached the door, and he was only allowed to enter after showing his ID.
The moment Zhan Chen stepped into the gate, he felt a powerful forbidden force descending on his body, he felt that his body had become heavy, he couldn't take off or escape, and it was difficult to jump even a meter when he jumped, and he suddenly had a feeling of being beaten back to a mortal, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "What a powerful prohibition can suppress me to such an extent!"
However, Zhan Chen immediately figured it out, Baturu was a stellar realm powerhouse, and his methods were definitely unimaginable, so it was not easy to do this?
Then they came to the main building of the prison (a nine-story tower), and the guide stopped for a moment and said to them: "This is where you will live in the future, and below the tower is the ten-story dungeon, which is where you will be the main work in the future, and I will take you to report now, come with me." ”
Zhan Chen and the others followed him into the tower, and went all the way to the top of the ninth floor, and entered a room, where Zhan Chen saw the second bluebell starman, he was slightly thinner than Baturu, and as soon as he saw the leader, he said, "Page, have you brought a new batch of guards?"
Page arched his hand, "Yes, Lord Babu." He took out a list and handed it to him, saying, "This is the name and information of this group of people, please take a look." ”
Babu took the information, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you can go down." ”
"Yes!" Paige turned and left the room.
After he left, Babu began to observe Zhan Chen and the others one by one with his terrifying eyes, and a powerful coercion emanated from his body to shock the audience.
Zhan Chen felt that his back was starting to chill, as if he was facing a threat to his life at any time.
