Chapter 164: Dealing with Kidnapping
Luo Feng, who was so angry with a certain team member, that he was relieved.
He no longer bothered with the cancer of the squad that had been taught and had no face or skin, and said to the other team members: "We are in Ascalla City, which is the most convenient place for sea and land transportation on the Feren Continent, let me ask you, who has the most people in this city?" β
"Shadow thief?"
"Tang Xiaotian, you shut up for me."
"It's a shadow thief......"
Klein pondered, "The most merchants? β
Luo Feng nodded and continued to ask: "Think about it again, a caravan has only one merchant employer, and if he wants to cross the sea through the monster-filled land, what does he need besides a freight carriage and a cargo ship?" β
"Hire a lot of bodyguards!" Zhang Daniu said suddenly.
"That's right, this city is prosperous in commerce and trade, and there is an endless stream of caravans, and the continent of Faren is full of monsters and robbers, both on land and sea, and it is very dangerous." Luo Feng explained with a smile: "In order to ensure the safe passage of the caravan, the merchants need to hire a large number of adventurers to act as caravan bodyguards. β
Tang Xiaotian also came to his senses: "Captain, you mean that we spend money to hire bodyguards?" β
"That's right, now that we've become big stars, we don't have a group of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses around when we go out, so it's not pretentious."
Luo Feng nodded and said: "Moreover, we only hire elites, Ascalla City is a commercial center, countless caravans gather here, and a large number of adventurers hired by merchants are also stranded here, as long as we can afford to pay a high salary, even if we choose one of the braves out of ten thousand, it is not impossible to choose." β
Klein smiled: "That's right, we made a lot of money from our performance of "Titanic", I thought we would invest all of it in to build a new theater, but I didn't expect the city hall to help us solve the theater problem, and now the money can be used to hire bodyguards." β
"In the original plot, Chanem was offered 20,000 gold coins by the Shadow Thieves Guild, and in order to earn 20,000 gold coins, he ran around, almost all over Am, and the dragon slaughtered a few heads to save enough money"
Luo Feng continued: "We just have to guard against the Shadow Thief Guild, we have hundreds of thousands of gold coins in our hands, and this world is not just an adventure group of the Chanem team, just hire a few powerful teams, and equip each member of the troupe with a security team, so we don't have to worry about the threat of kidnapping by the shadow thieves." β
"In the original plot, the Chanem team can help the vampires destroy the Shadow Thieves Guild in order to save 5,000 gold coins, or we will spend 50,000 gold coins to hire someone to eradicate the shadow thieves, and completely eliminate the troubles?"
Tang Xiaotian suddenly thought of this stubble and proposed excitedly.
Luo Feng shook his head and said, "The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Chanem team just carried out a decapitation operation and assassinated the shadow lord Alan Linville." It's not easy to destroy the Shadow Thieves, the few Shadow Thieves killed by Chanem are only a small fraction of the tens of thousands of Shadow Thieves, if we hire someone to kill the Shadow Lord, what awaits us will be the Shadow Thieves Guild's full range of revenge under the wrath of the Shadow Thieves Guild. β
In addition to Reynolds Bloodhead, Alan Linville, and Arkanis Garth, there are also many leaders of the Shadow Council who are hidden behind the scenes, killing these three people with names and surnames, and there will be more high-level shadow thieves to take their place, leading tens of thousands of shadow thieves to launch an endless revenge against the Bredrow Theater Company in the name of avenging the previous generation of shadow masters.
The Chanem team ran away on the vampire ship after finishing that ticket, the shadow thieves couldn't find a target if they wanted revenge, and Luo Feng's team still had to perform in Ascatra City, but they couldn't fight an all-out war with a behemoth like the Shadow Thieves Guild.
Even if you want to do a vote and kill a group of high-level shadow thieves, you have to wait for the investigation task to be completed and the exit channel is opened.
But at that time, it was pointless to kill the high-level of the shadow thief.
Luo Feng's explanation persuaded Tang Xiaotian and the rest of the team that at present, it seems that they can only strictly defend and strengthen the security force to resist the kidnapping of the shadow thieves.
After discussing the countermeasures, Luo Feng immediately drafted a recruitment announcement and asked Zhang Daniu to personally escort it to the city hall and paste it on the bulletin board of the city hall.
The recruitment announcement claimed that due to the bombing, the members of the troupe generally felt that their personal safety was not guaranteed, so they had to spend a lot of money to hire strong bodyguards for personal protection.
As soon as the news of the Bredero Troupe's open recruitment of bodyguards was released, it caused a huge wave in the city of Askatra.
There are many unemployed adventurers in the city, as well as many adventurers who are employed by caravans and stay here because of their employers' business affairs.
The price offered by the Braderow Theatre Company was 20,000 gold coins per month for a six-member full-crew adventure squad.
20,000 gold coins!
That's a lot of money, so much so that when the protagonist Chanem hears the Shadow Thief's offer, he exclaims: Are you crazy!
And it's 20,000 gold coins per month, and the average caravan can't earn so much money at one trip, and the adventure group that follows the caravan on a dangerous road earns even less, at most it's 5,000 gold coins.
As long as you stay with the members of the troupe and walk around the city, you will get 20,000 gold coins in your account every month, which is a good job that is easy, decent, and very well-paid.
The high salary also means that the hiring standard is high, and the Braderow Theater Company requires the average level of the adventurer team to be at least 16, and the team members must have a special anti-thief professional.
And because Amm is a country where demons are forbidden, the mages in the team cannot cast magic in public, and their strength is greatly weakened, requiring that the proportion of mages in the adventure team should not be too high, and if there are high-level mages in the team, they must have a spell casting license issued by a masked mage.
Even so, the swarming teams of adventurers are still like carp crossing the river, and there is an endless stream.
Many adventuring troupes, coveting the high salaries offered by the Bredero troupe, tore up their contracts with their former employers, leaving the angry employers' caravans behind and running to the troupe's premises to try their luck.
The city of Ascatra is located at a critical point in transportation, and the caravans that come and go from various places have brought many adventurers with unique skills, and Luo Feng and his team members were eye-opening when they conducted recruitment interviews.
For example, the shaman of the southern jungle is rare in Amm, the berserk brute from the North, the sorcerer from Neverwinter, the arcane knight who wears armor, the sword-wielding mage swordsinger, the arcane polymath from Candlekeep, the hidden divine punishment, the Eternal Sleep Usher, and even the Doomsday Guardian from Signet City and the Mechanism Warlock from Falling Silver City......
There are a total of six members of the Bradelow Troupe who need the protection of bodyguards: the big singer Tang Xiaotian, the host and diplomatic attachΓ© Klein, the drama manager Zhang Daniu, the chief special effects artist Cameron, the chief technology officer Yao En, and the female star Monroe.
For a monthly fee of 120,000 gold coins, the troupe hired six full-fledged adventure troupes, with a total of thirty-six powerful adventurer bodyguards above the sixteenth level.
These six powerful adventure groups with tacit understanding, complete professions, and sophisticated magic equipment are not a problem to pull out and destroy a few dragons' dens, and it is more than enough to beat the dragon and beware of the kidnapping of a shadow thief guild with a very single professional configuration.
There was also a hiccup in the hiring process:
Chanem, who was eager to raise funds to save his sister, saw the recruitment notice and felt that it was a good way to get money, so he came to apply with a team that he had managed to assemble.
The members of Chanem's team are the druid's part-time warrior Jahira, the mad mage Nina, the ranger Minsk who takes the hamster to the ends of the world, the thief Yuxumo who is suspected of being a little devil, and the warrior part-time priest Arnomen.
Not to mention, this team is very strong, and the career configuration is quite reasonable, Luo Feng is still thinking about whether he will simply hire and let the protagonist work for him for a month.
However, Yao En has an old grudge with Chanem, and as soon as he saw him during the interview, he scolded him, and Yao En's broken mouth provoked the Chanem team on the spot and wanted to clean him up, if it weren't for Luo Feng just matching Yao En with a powerful bodyguard group, the protagonist team is not the opponent of this bodyguard group, Yao En would become the soul of Chanem's sword.
As a result, the protagonist team was beaten by the bodyguard group hired by Luo Feng, and was thrown out of the door with a blue nose and swollen face, if it weren't for Luo Feng's opening at the critical moment to stop the bodyguards from killing him, the protagonist team who fled in a hurry was afraid that they would drag the corpses of their teammates to the temple area to find the priest to be resurrected.
