Chapter 1006: Chapter 625: Spoils of War and the Alchemist_1 Chapter 1006: Chapter 625: Spoils of War and the Alchemist_1 Without further ado, the seven new subordinates were looking at the three magnificent miracle buildings shining brightly.
Under the serene moonlit night, whether it was the Guardian Defense Mechanism emitting a cold blue light, the Light Healing House with a faint golden glow, or the towering Illusory Vision Tower with its pale gold tower body and dark blue tower top, all continually assaulted the visual senses of the seven people.
âThe beautiful architectural lines, the mysterious and unpredictable magical patterns, the subtle and wonderful aura that permeates, and the inexplicable sense of sacredness that makes people unable to look awayâŠâ
The four-star Nine-Star magic knight Randall, with a dumbfounded expression, stared intently and said, âIs this the legendary miracle building that gathers the highest wisdom of every race? It truly is a fascinating existence.â
âMost importantly, there are three altogether.â
Benson, standing beside him with a scarred pale face, was equally amazed.
This Dragonâs Lair City Lord, as his gaze wandered and finally fell on the Light Healing House that resembled a temple, his face suddenly filled with excitement.
It seemed that this was the key to unlocking the lethal curse on his body!
âI never thought that an extremely ordinary old man like me would one day be able to see the legendary miracle buildingâŠâ
On the other side, Old Magician Alvaâs face was covered in shock and awe as he muttered to himself, âEven in my dreams, I wouldnât dare to have such extravagant hopes.â
Bonnie in the dirty priestâs robe, Tris, Tran, and Gade also had the same expression.
After all, they were just ordinary members of the countless mercenaries. They were excited in the morning for receiving a task worth dozens of gold dragons and nearly lost their lives under the claws of a Tier 3 Rock Horned Wolf King. How could they expect that they would come to a majestic territory like a miracle later that night?
âMr. Alva, thereâs no need to belittle yourself.â
Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, âLayne told me that at the critical moment of life and death, you chose without hesitation to let the young companions retreat while facing an invincible enemy with Tris, didnât you?â
âSuch admirable courage, how can it be called ordinary?â
Nodding to the old magician, Leo Ray continued, âMoreover, since you have come to my territory, you have naturally stepped away from being ordinary. As long as you perform well, I will focus on cultivating you and allow you to reach heights that you could not have imagined before.â
âYour subordinates are extremely grateful, Lord!â
Hearing this, the faces of the five subordinate mercenaries showed a hint of excitement that could not be suppressed as they knelt down.
After bending down to help the five people up, Leo Ray immediately summoned Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, and Head Chef Rudy Blues through mind talk.
âGreetings, Lord!â
In a moment, the three subordinates had appeared before Leo Ray and saluted him.
âJoshua, Orion, this is Benson, the Lord of the Dragonâs Lair, who accidentally suffered from the Lethal Curse in his early years. Now that the cure to unlock the curse has been gathered, you two can proceed directly.â
After speaking to the two slender and delicate alchemists of the territory, Leo Ray turned to the territoryâs head chef and continued the introduction, âThese five mercenaries are our new companions. Theyâll live with you.â
Due to the fact that Old Steward Warren Dexter and the rest moved from Rudyâs place to the Lordâs Mansion after the Mansionâs upgrade, there is undoubtedly ample space in Rudyâs residence, which currently only houses the five chefs.
âAs you command, Lord!â
Upon receiving Leo Rayâs instructions, Joshua, Orion, and Rudy replied in unison.
âAlright, everyone else may disperse and do as they please.â
Leo Ray nodded slightly and waved his hand.
After all the subordinates bowed to obey and began their own actions, Leo Ray stepped towards the Lordâs Mansion.
Upon arriving at the brightly lit mansionâs main hall, Leo Ray went straight upstairs to the third floorâs Lordâs Office to check out the spoils of the day.
First were the items obtained during the morning recruitment of Layne and the five mercenaries: one Tier 3 magic staff, one Tier 3 shield, one Tier 3 crossbow, and two Tier 2 storage rings.
âStored in the two storage rings are a total of 400,000 gold dragons? Not bad.â
Nodding in satisfaction, Leo Ray continued to inspect the items.
Next were the items obtained during the afternoon exploration of the Endless Passage: one Tier 3 magic staff, one storage ring, 15 fake magic medicines, and the âMoonlight Withinâ alchemy platform.
âExcluding the un-upgradable fake magic medicines and the alchemy platform, letâs upgrade these spoils first.â
Making the decision, Leo Ray approached the storage wooden box and began upgrading the weapons.
[Congratulations! Your âTier 3 Weapon: Water Ripple Magic Wandâ has been upgraded to âTier 3 Weapon: Water Ripple Magic Wandâ x105!]
[Congratulations! Your âTier 3 Shield: Guardian Square Shieldâ has been upgraded to âTier 4 Shield: Shield of Gloryâ!]
[Congratulations! Your âTier 3 Weapon: Fire Cloud Crossbowâ has been upgraded to âTier 4 Weapon: Phoenix Crossbowâ!]
[Congratulations! Your âTier 3 Weapon: Earth Crystal Magic Staffâ has been upgraded to âTier 3 Weapon: Earth Crystal Magic Staffâ x103!]
âTwo incremental upgrades and two qualitative upgrades?â
Nodding slightly, Leo Rayâs expression remained calm and unruffled.
