Chapter 667: Inexplicable Unfolding (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
As Fitzgiller said, Fitztel did not go to Soram in person, Soram was really angry, and that night, the people of the council really came to the door, and the purpose was to let them enter the sewers together again as adventurers, as Fitzsterler said.
It's not just them, but the council has recruited other adventurers as well.
Adventurers are a strange group, they mostly work for money, so during missions, they always avoid indifferent fights, because not only do they get no pay, but they also risk losing their lives as a result.
But just because they like to avoid fighting doesn't mean they're not good at fighting, on the contrary, because they have lived in the wild for a long time, they have developed beastly instincts and quick adaptability, and they can react immediately when they are in battle, which is definitely faster than the scouts in the army.
This is also why almost all countries and city-states like to hire adventurers during wars, because their role is at some point far greater than that of armies, so adventurers appear in almost every war.
In addition to this, there are economic reasons. Because adventurers are cost-effective! Adventurers take on the task is a hammer deal, and when it is done, everyone is happy, and the party who issues the task only needs to give money. If the mission fails, it is the adventurer who loses, and the party that issued the mission does not need to bear any responsibility.
Soldiers are different, someone is responsible for the dead and wounded, and if they make meritorious service, they must be rewarded, whether they are promoted or knighted. The cost of these is much higher than what the adventurer would have paid for completing the mission.
And this time the Amm Council is no exception, anyway, the adventurer is also someone else's child, and he is not distressed when he dies, so he recruits adventurers on a large scale, and the amount of money offered is also a lot. It's just a little more demanding, after all, you can't let the adventurers drag the regular army back.
In normal times, it would be a hassle to recruit high-level adventurers. But now it's different, after all, there were many powerful adventurers who participated in the previous mission, and now that the search mission is over, these people are just idle. So within a day, the council recruited dozens of high-level adventurers, and this is because many of them are in the sewers, and they don't know that the search mission is over, so the number is so small.
But that's enough, there are maps anyway, so the big army doesn't need many scouts.
And Solam, the discoverers, are even more unlikely to be let go, so they were personally approached by the council. At the same time, there are those who need Solam's advice.
Faced with the invitation of the parliament, Soram did not refuse. First, Solam's previous actions have made the parliament dissatisfied with him, and he needs to give the parliament a face, at least on the surface. Well, Solam actually wants to go to the seal again, and as for the reason, it's because of the golden short stick. Solam was a little curious, what was that broken stick craving?
But no matter how much you give face, you still have to ask for the benefits.
***********************
Soram and the others were quickly taken to a conference room, and by the way, Soram also brought Karul this time, after all, most of the maps Soram handed in were the routes they had taken, and this kind of thing was more appropriate for them. As for Solam's route....... Forget it, he can't let a few thousand people jump into the lake together.
Speaking of Karul and the others, they are almost recovered now, and Selly Leph also handed over the promised reward to them through the church, and Karul and the others made a lot of money this time, not only received a reward of 1,000 gold coins, but also three magic items, a protective amulet, a magic shield, and a magic longbow.
Among them are also the handiwork of the Church of Radiance and the Church of Tyre, who saved Celileph, which can be regarded as a great favor for these two churches. Celle's status is special, not only the daughter of the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, but also a primary voter, if it really hangs, the Glorious Church will lose its mother and lose its adult.
And the church of Tyre is about the same, if the pale justice is lost, they will be heartbroken.
However, the reward will be so rich, and this is also related to the fact that Karul has no spellcaster, so they can only send equipment, otherwise the two churches will directly send the magic scroll, after all, compared to the magic scroll, magic items are still more valuable. (Scroll can only be used by the caster)
When they got the reward, Karol was stupid, and it wasn't until they knew the identity of Seilelev that they knew why there were so many rewards this time. However, they are still a little at a loss, why the Tyre church wants to give them a reward, and whether it is that Celeph's family has something to do with the Tyre church. (They don't know the pale justice and the elect.)
However, Karol finally accepted it, after all, the two major churches of others had taken action, and they couldn't help but save face. It's one thing to talk about principles, it's another thing to don't give face, and besides, the two churches can't be bad people, so there's nothing unacceptable.
And this time, Solam let Karul and them join, in fact, it also has the meaning of support, after all, the price of hiring Solam's team is much higher than those adventurers outside. In fact, Soram planned to give another sum of money to Karul himself, but Karul and they didn't accept anything.
What are you kidding, the rewards of Selie Leph and the two major churches can still be talked about, and it is not like saying that Soram gives them money, you must know that Soram is their benefactor, how can there be a reason to receive money from a benefactor?
So Soram had to use this method, originally only needed Karol to follow Soram alone, but in order to make them earn more, Soram simply let them all join their team temporarily, anyway, when the time comes, let Violet follow them, nothing will happen, and they will take it with them.
When Soram entered the conference room, there were already quite a few people seated in the room. Most of the people who came now were representatives of all parties involved in the operation, members of the parliament (it is impossible for the Council of Six to appear in front of an outsider like Solam), the top of the major churches, the top of the two knights, and an elven mage.
Among them, Dominic was also inside, and when he saw Solam, Dominic immediately began to introduce these big names to Solam. First of all, the Speaker of the Parliament, the Marquis of Mordesok. After that, there were the bishops of the major churches, among whom the bishop of the church of Haim asked Soramdo to pay attention for a while.
Don't forget, Solam has the strongest guardian ring in his hand: "Gatekeeper's Mark", Solam has been planning to sell this magic item given by Haim himself to the Heim Church, although that thing is not a legendary equipment, but in terms of religious significance, it is comparable to an artifact, Solam has always forgotten about this before, and now when he sees the bishop of the Heim Church, Soram remembers.
For these high-ranking members of the major churches, Solam's response can only be said to be more polite than enthusiastic. It's that the bishops of other churches are very enthusiastic about Sora, no way, this is a super tyrant! Donating millions of gold coins to two major churches at one time, other churches have long been envious and jealous.
Of course, I won't let it go now, not to mention pulling Soram to their side, it's good to be able to fool some donations. It's just that what they don't know is that Solam's donation of millions is simply nonsense. But the two churches gave a lot of good things to Solam. Although the two major churches are also voluntary.
The plans of these people are completely frustrated, and although Solam is generous, it is not to the extent of being wronged.
Others saw that Solam was so popular with the major churches, and although they knew the reason, they still couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have money!
Next are the two major knights, the leader of the Knights of the Heart of the City, named Demps, is a middle-aged man with a very stocky figure and an extremely old-fashioned face, although Soram does not know his specific strength, he should also be the one who stands in front of the threshold of legends.
The head of the Order was not so enthusiastic about Solam, and for the first time, he didn't need to be close to Solam, and the council didn't allow it. Second, their City Heart Knights, although they are not completely soy sauce in this mission, they are also a supporting role, and he can come to save face, so there is no need to care too much about Solam.
In the face of such a cold person, Solam didn't think that others looked down on him, but he wasn't very enthusiastic. Anyway, the people sitting here are almost the same in Solam's opinion, he doesn't want to please anyone, and there is no need to offend anyone.
And the Knight Captain of the Burning Heart, Witherland, was very enthusiastic, because he was a believer in the God of Justice Tyre and a senior member of the Church, so he knew that it was the person in front of him who brought the artifact "Pale Justice" back to the Church.
Whether as a paladin or a believer in Tyr, Witherland must be grateful to Solam.
As for the last elf female mage, before Dominic could introduce her, she took the initiative to speak.
"You're the Solam?" The elven mage stared at Soram tightly, as if she wanted to see something from him, and there was a hint of unknown flavor in it, and her tone was not good, which made Soram very strange, he didn't remember offending such a person.
"I am." The female mage didn't hide the great power in her body, so Solam easily knew from the spell fluctuations on her body that she was a legendary mage! However, Soram didn't coax it, of course, the point is that it's useless to coax, if a legendary mage has malicious intentions towards you, even if you coax it, it's useless.
"You....... Have you ever been to the Supreme Forest? Next, the Elven Legendary Mage asked another question that puzzled Soram even more.
"Supreme Forest? What am I doing there? "Soram also told the truth, he didn't plan to go to the Supreme Forest, at least not before his strength was not enough.
"What? You don't know? Unexpectedly, Solam's truth made the female elf immediately furious!
This inexplicable unfolding suddenly made everyone understand that this Solam in front of him has a relationship with His Excellency Zaranona, well, that elven legendary female mage is Solam's partner Meloti's teacher, the legendary Zalanona of the Masked Mage Guild!
However, it seems that Solam does not know that he has a relationship with Master Zarannona. For a while, everyone in the room was attentively waiting for things to develop.
