Chapter 120 Advance Deployment
Chapter 120 Advance Deployment
Zhang Wei allowed Zhang Xiaodan to establish his authority. He left the garden and returned to the hall. At this time, there was only a note in the hall. It was written by Samantha, saying that she was taking Qian Yuanyuan and Kida Kaori back to Jinhou Town.
Zhang Wei also needed to go to the dungeon of Jinhou Town. When he walked out of the gate, he came to the registration hall of the Adventurer's Guild.
Several people who had been waiting for a long time wanted to come forward and talk, but Zhang Wei, who was in a hurry to make arrangements, politely said that he would talk later and trotted all the way to the dungeon.
The others followed quickly. At the entrance of the dungeon, those who were not adventurers could only stop. Even the staff of the Adventurer's Guild lost him on the third floor. The staff did not give up and found the sixth floor. He looked at the passage leading to the seventh floor but still did not dare to go down. Finally, he thought about it and returned to the entrance outside to wait with the others.
Zhang Wei reached the seventh floor and opened a portal directly at a fixed point in a dead end deep inside.
The first person to be teleported over was Zhang Xiaodan. Zhang Wei reminded her, "Try not to expose the portal here. I will find a chance to set up another one outside where there are no people. This way, you can teleport the followers that have been transformed here."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will complete the task you assigned us!" Zhang Xiaodan said, and gave Zhang Wei a military order.
Zhang Wei was very pleased. After handing the place over to Zhang Xiaodan, he disappeared from the dungeon in stealth. He ignored the people waiting in the distance and ran towards the Monster Mountain on the west side of Jinhou Town. After making sure there was no one there, Zhang Wei lifted his invisibility and began to rely on flashing. He came all the way to the foot of the mountain, created a cave with magic, and placed a portal inside.
Zhang Wei returned to the seventh floor of the dungeon through the portal. After finding Zhang Xiaodan, he told her the location of the portal outside. Then he went back to the cave through the portal and headed towards the dungeon again.
"What do you want from me?" Zhang Wei suddenly lifted his invisibility in front of several people, which scared them.
Seeing that Zhang Wei was finally willing to pay attention to them, they explained their purpose to Zhang Wei according to the order they had just agreed upon.
Zhang Wei listened to it and only agreed to attend the celebratory dinner hosted by Viscount Jin Hou tonight on the grounds of time constraints. According to the inviter, the team of adventurers who had successfully advanced and led by Viscount Jin Hou would also attend the dinner.
At the dinner, Qian Yuanyuan, Samantha and Kida Kaori all dressed up, only Zhang Wei was very low-key in casual clothes.
"Oh, you are here too. You are not the ones who will advance, are you?" Zhang Wei saw his old acquaintance Guan Jiao, who was chatting enthusiastically with a man at the moment.
Guan Jiao smiled and said modestly, "We didn't expect that this person is the Viscount. Viscount, this is His Excellency Zhang Wei."
Guan Jiao introduced him to the Viscount Jinhou beside her.
Zhang Wei then realized that he had been presumptuous. Zhang Wei had never met the Viscount alone. He had only seen him twice from a distance when he set out before, and he did not remember him.
"Your Excellency, Viscount." Zhang Wei saluted to His Excellency, Viscount.
Viscount Jinhou looked at Zhang Wei's informal military salute, smiled and punched Zhang Wei on the shoulder. Zhang Wei rubbed his shoulder with a smile, as if he was in great pain.
Guan Jiao was a little surprised to see that Viscount Jinhou and Zhang Wei seemed very familiar with each other. She didn't remember any connection between the two men.
In fact, Zhang Wei and Viscount Jinhou were not really familiar with each other. The main reason was that Zhang Wei was good at flattering. He saluted the Viscount, which meant that he was meeting the Viscount as the Baron's deputy centurion. This was naturally much better than meeting him as an adventurer.
Although according to Wang Guolu, Zhang Wei only obeys Baron Bourne and not Viscount Jinhou. However, Wang Guolu is Wang Guolu, and Viscount Jinhou, as Baron Bourne's direct superior, will subconsciously regard Zhang Wei as his soldier. So when Zhang Wei saluted, Viscount Jinhou would emotionally feel that Zhang Wei was his soldier, so he "punched" Zhang Wei.
This is the human nature that Zhang Wei grasps.
Although Zhang Wei had become closer to Viscount Jinhou, he was still a member of Baron Bourne's territory, both as an adventurer and in the military. Guan Jiao was an adventurer, but she was also a registered adventurer in Viscount Jinhou's territory. Therefore, the entire dinner was still centered around celebrating Guan Jiao's team, and Zhang Wei and his team clearly felt left out.
Zhang Wei kept smiling and accompanying the party until the end of the dinner, which surprised Qian Yuanyuan, Samantha and Kida Kaori. They thought Zhang Wei would just turn his face away and leave.
Zhang Wei didn't leave because he had his own ideas. He wanted to try his best to prevent others from linking any of his mistakes and recklessness with the subsequent occupation of Baron Huaien's territory by vampires.
Therefore, Zhang Wei had to endure. He had to learn to endure and hide in the darkness, so that all forces, especially enemies and potential enemies, would forget his existence.
"I'm sorry." At the end of the dinner, Guan Jiao went to Zhang Wei to apologize. Her face was slightly red because she had drunk a lot of wine.
"Hahaha, no, congratulations." Zhang Wei smiled and sent Guan Jiao to the door, as if he was not an invited guest but a staff member who came to do the work.
The interaction between Zhang Wei and Guan Jiao was all seen by Viscount Jinhou. After Zhang Wei sent away all the guests, he came to Zhang Wei, patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, I was right about you. How about it, when you don't want to be a hero anymore, do you want to follow me?"
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "My Lord, you are teasing me. I don't even know my own abilities. How can I be considered a brave man? If my Lord thinks highly of me, I will naturally be willing to serve you."
When Viscount Jin Hou saw that Zhang Wei agreed to pledge his loyalty to him, he immediately smiled even more happily...
After the dinner, Zhang Wei spent the next two days with Samantha in public, either dealing with the spoils obtained from the challenge or purchasing supplies for the next selection.
Samantha is a good housekeeper. She sacrificed an option and managed to put all the spoils that no one owned into her own pocket. Because they had exaggerated the use of Rouge and Scarlet before, there were so many spoils that even the best magic bag currently used by humans could not hold them. The Goddess of Economy and Trade also gave her an endless magic bag as a reward.
In just two days, with the secret help of Viscount Jinhou, Samantha opened a store in Jinhou Town and hired a professional manager in the Temple of the Goddess of Economy and Trade.
"We're too rushed this time. Next time we have to find a chance to go back to the town of Bourne and take care of the shops, chambers of commerce and caravans we agreed on before. Otherwise, if we only rely on this one store, how long will it take us to sell our products!" Samantha was still muttering as she entered the second round of qualifiers.
"Congratulations everyone for coming to the second round of the brave selection competition. This competition is a battle to kill the commander. If the commander of one side is killed or the commander of one side admits defeat, the other side wins. The challenge time is 24 hours. When the time is up, if neither side wins, both sides will be eliminated." The cold voice of the messenger of God echoed in the maze.
This time, Zhang Wei didn't even wait for the countdown, he started running wildly in the maze looking for people. No one expected that the second round would be a broken teleport. What's worse is that Zhang Wei found out that he was not the commander but a pawn. Zhang Wei must find Qian Yuanyuan, Samantha and Kida Kaori as soon as possible.
"Get out of my way!!!" Zhang Wei looked at the large number of demon creatures pouring in from the opposite passage. It seemed that even in a battle to kill the leader, there would still be demon creatures getting in the way.
Zhang Wei was clearing monsters when suddenly a series of medium-sized fireballs came straight at him. Zhang Wei barely dodged them and found that the enemy was actually Midorikawa Misato.
Misato Midorikawa naturally did not recognize Zhang Wei from her previous life. After seeing that her sneak attack failed, she fled directly to the passage behind her.
Zhang Wei looked at the "pawn" above Misato Midorikawa's head. After thinking about it, he decided to follow her. He didn't expect to encounter Takemoto Nami's team here. He was ready to force Misato Midorikawa to admit defeat.
After Zhang Wei defeated the monster in front of him, he cast a wall of fire behind him to prevent the monster from following.
After going around in circles, he still couldn't find Misato Midorikawa's location. Suddenly, the wall was pierced by several sharp wooden roots, and the wooden roots began to track and attack Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei easily broke it with the Fiery Hell. Zhang Wei remembered that Misato Midorikawa was the only magician in their team. It seemed that this woman was also a dual-cultivation magician.
Half an hour later, after Zhang Wei continuously broke the wood magic traps set by Misato Midorikawa, he finally blocked Misato Midorikawa in a dead end.
"Surrender. I don't want to kill you because of our connection in our previous life." Zhang Wei asked Misato Midorikawa to admit defeat.
"Thank you, what an old-fashioned way of picking up a conversation. Why don't you surrender first?" A fire magic circle and a wood magic circle suddenly appeared under Misato Midorikawa's feet. She was not blocked in a dead end by Zhang Wei, but deliberately lured Zhang Wei over and used the time during this period to prepare the double magic circle in advance.
"Interesting, I can defeat you." Zhang Wei used the water field.
"Hehe, have you ever thought about why I would practice wood magic that is restrained by fire magic?" After Misato Midorikawa finished speaking, two formed magic circles were immediately cast.
I saw five wooden snakes and four fire snakes blocking the passage, and the wooden snakes ignited by the flames of the fire snakes instantly turned into fire snakes with even more ferocious flames.
Nine fire snakes rushed towards Zhang Wei like the legendary Hydra.
"Damn it, you can play it like this!" Zhang Wei was finally enlightened.
"Surrender quickly, otherwise I won't be able to lift the order!" Misato Midorikawa reminded Zhang Wei to surrender quickly.
"Fuck you!" Zhang Wei directly cast several ice walls to block in front, and then tried his best to maintain the water field.
The ice walls were melted by the high temperature before the Hydra arrived, and the water field couldn't even hold out for a few seconds.
Midorikawa Misato looked at Zhang Wei, who was burned to ashes, and stomped her feet, saying, "I told you to surrender! You big idiot!"
