Chapter 322 Calling Friends and Inviting Friends (3k)
“Uncle Wen, I want to ask for your help with something. Can you go to Eagle Country with me to save someone? I can provide some reward.” Flying in the sky, Su Jiu was calling Mr. Wenders with one hand while searching for the whereabouts of the Magic City Night Watchers according to the address Youyou sent.
On the other end of the phone, after a pause, he quickly replied with a smile, “Don’t be so polite, just tell me when to go. I have nothing to do at home anyway, so why not go and stretch my muscles.”
“I’ve sent you the specific address. Uncle, there will be other helpers I’ve gathered there, three Battle King Level Experts…”
After getting Mr. Wenders’ confirmation, Su Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained tense. They were going to enter Wyvern Valley, and there might even be High-Rank Battle Kings. She immediately added:
“If there’s a chance in the future, when I reach Battle King Level strength, I will definitely do my best to cure your hidden illness.”
“Hahaha, it’s enough to have this thought. The Dao injury on my body was planted by the Holy Temple, and even Battle King Level Priests can’t do anything about it. Let’s not talk about it anymore, I’ll head to the place you mentioned right away.” Mr. Wenders laughed heartily and hung up the phone.
“Wind Chime Coffee, this must be it…”
Exhaling lightly, Su Jiu found that her phone had already shown the location. Her gaze fell on a pet cafe. Just above it, she could feel several powerful auras locking onto her. It turned out this was the hidden residence of the local Night Watchers.
Without wasting any time, Su Jiu landed directly outside the small fence of the pet cafe and gently rang the bell at the door. Her eyes swept over the customers who were still playing with the little monsters, and she said loudly, “Is the owner in? I have something to discuss and would like to borrow some pets.”
Su Jiu’s words naturally attracted many gazes. Many curious customers looked over, and soon a brown-haired woman holding a white spirit fox walked out. After glancing at Su Jiu, she smiled and made a gesture to invite her in, saying, “You must be the person Xiao Yan mentioned to borrow pets from, right? The store manager is inside, but our pets are not cheap.”
“Please lead the way.”
Looking at the other person’s employee attire and even the ribbon of a maid outfit on her head, Su Jiu couldn’t help but think to herself, “She’s really dedicated, treating it like her main job.”
After sighing, she thanked her and followed behind her.
Youyou said she had already informed them, so they would just have to see their quotes later. It would be best to recruit three more Battle Kings, and then they could go to the Adventurer’s Guild to check the prices for Battle King Level Experts.
To be safe, Su Jiu wanted to recruit ten Battle King Level Experts to cooperate. Now the Hu family provided three, plus Uncle Wen’s Demigod Level, so they still needed six.
After winding their way through twists and turns, the two arrived at a place that looked like a pet feeding room. Several feeders, who were much older than Su Jiu, were lazily leaning against walls or pillars, feeding the fluffy pets at their feet. If one ignored the scars on their faces and the faintly visible daggers at their waists, it would have been a particularly heartwarming scene.
“Are you Elder Jiu? I am Lu Zizhan, the manager of this establishment and the stationed Night Watcher in Magic City. I know your purpose and have been waiting here.”
Looking at this scene, Su Jiu felt an indescribable sense of strangeness, and her mouth twitched involuntarily. Just as she was about to say something, a gentle male voice came from the right side of the room.
Hearing this, Su Jiu instinctively turned her head. A middle-aged man wearing a store manager’s uniform, a cute cat paw-patterned apron, and gold-rimmed glasses walked towards her with a smile. He was even holding a cat-like demon that resembled a Ragdoll cat in his arms.
She realized that her Demigod Level mental power couldn’t detect when the other party had approached, which clearly indicated that the other party’s strength was definitely above War God level.
Stunned for a moment, Su Jiu then clasped her fists respectfully and said, “Night Watcher, Jiu, greetings Elder Zizhan. I want to borrow some Battle King Level Experts to save my friend. As for the price…”
Su Jiu paused slightly, then took out a bag of Intermediate Magic Crystals from her storage ring, offered it with both hands, and said softly, “Here are over a dozen Intermediate Magic Crystals. If it’s not enough, I’m willing to use merit points to exchange for their desired rewards.”
Looking at the bag of Intermediate Magic Crystals, Lu Zizhan did not reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Su Jiu with a smile and pointed to the fierce-looking “feeders,” saying, “I have two ordinary Night Watchers of Battle King Level who can be provided to you, but they are all naturally arrogant. They might help you for the money, but only if you are to their liking.”
“Hahaha, Grandpa Zizhan is right. If they are to my liking, then this money is not a problem.”
The man with the scar on his face laughed heartily, finished pouring the feed, and swaggered over. He looked Su Jiu up and down, then narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “I can’t see through your cultivation, but I’m sure you’re definitely not at Battle King Level. Without being invincible at Battle King Level, you can’t be an elder, unless you’re a second-generation official, or you’re someone I’d like.”
Being mentioned again, Su Jiu felt a bit embarrassed. She hadn’t actually reached the threshold of an elder yet. If she had to say it, she obtained the elder title purely through merit points.
“Iron Bull, this person in front of us is not a second-generation official.”
Gently putting down the cat and patting its butt to signal it to leave, Lu Zizhan stood up, shook his head with a smile, and continued, “Magic City previously suffered from skin rot disease. The source of the disease was detected and eliminated by her. It can be said that she is someone who is to your liking.”
“You cured the skin rot disease?”
Iron Bull was slightly stunned, and he looked Su Jiu up and down again with surprise. There was more recognition in his eyes. After seeing Su Jiu nod, he smiled and said,
“Then I’ll accompany you to Eagle Country. Below War God level, I’ll protect you.”
After saying that, Iron Bull slowly took off his waiter’s uniform, revealing a set of black battle armor. It had scales like a Dragon Hunter, and faint scars were visible on the scales, like the kind of clothes worn by shield-type professions.
“This is the Black Dragon Armor of a Dragon Hunter?”
Su Jiu was slightly stunned looking at the armor, and blurted out subconsciously.
Seeing Su Jiu spacing out, Lu Zizhan next to him chuckled, then explained to Iron Bull, “The battle suit on this person is indeed the scales of some sub-dragon. The grade is much higher than the ordinary Dragon Hunter’s lizard leather armor. Moreover, even though he is only at Intermediate Battle King level, even High-Rank Battle Kings cannot easily penetrate the energy shield he creates.”
“Only… with Brother Iron Bull’s help, I am already very satisfied.”
Shaking her head with a wry smile, Su Jiu certainly wouldn’t dislike him. Someone who could easily block the attacks of a High-Rank Battle King with an energy shield, what a formidable person!
As expected of the Night Watchers, they were the cream of the crop. If he reached High-Rank Battle King level, he would probably be awarded the elder title, right?
“As for the other one…” Seeing that Iron Bull had agreed to help, Lu Zizhan smiled and then asked the maid-dressed woman who had opened the door earlier, “Xiao Ling, can you go abroad?”
Seeing that he was talking to the woman who had led her in, Su Jiu was shocked again. She hadn’t realized that the other person was also a Battle King Expert. The Night Watchers truly lived up to their reputation as paragons of individual combat power; everyone was like a dragon.
“For Xiao Yan’s sake, I can help you…”
After glancing at Su Jiu, Mo Ling smiled lightly, but she didn’t intend to take off her clothes like Iron Bull. Instead, her gaze slowly fell on Su Jiu’s face, and she changed the subject, saying with a smile,
“Win the top three in the world competition for Dragon Country. I know you have the strength. The organization has already applied for a title for you based on your ability to kill Intermediate Battle Kings at the War General level.”
“Apply for a title?”
Hearing this, Su Jiu was slightly stunned again, a look of confusion on her face. Then she remembered that there were indeed titles for defeating Intermediate Battle Kings at the War General level, and even some subsidies.
“That’s right. As for the name of the title, you’ll know when the time comes.”
Mo Ling smiled casually and then bent down to see if the pet monsters were eating well. After a while, she straightened up slightly, turned to Su Jiu, and said,
“For the world competition, Magic Capital University has already formed a separate team for you. As long as you arrive at the competition venue on time, you will be an otherworldly contestant, able to shatter those foreign schools that mock us like a bullet!”
“Okay… without further ado, you two should go to the address I gave you to meet up. I’ll go to the Adventurer’s Guild.” Su Jiu nodded, glanced at the time on her phone—15:35, took a deep breath, she had to gather people by evening, and then spend a lot of money to rent those extremely fast Feathered Jade Eagles to cross the ocean.
“Okay!”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, Iron Bull and Mo Ling exchanged glances, then added each other’s QQ numbers, and then turned into two streams of light and flew out of the backyard first.
After bidding farewell to Lu Zizhan, Su Jiu lightly touched the ground and soared into the sky. Before long, she arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild. Many people looked at her vigilantly. After all, this was the Adventurer’s Guild of the Capital. Although Battle King Level Experts were few, they were not rare…
As before, Su Jiu directly informed the President of the Adventurer’s Guild of her intentions, and was naturally treated as someone who was there to play.
But when she showed the over dozen Intermediate Magic Crystals and some Battle King Level herbs purchased at the auction, several Initial Stage Battle Kings were quickly moved. Su Jiu added tens of millions of Long Guo Currency and posted a bounty for these four Initial Stage Battle Kings.
16:56
Half an hour later, by a riverbank, more than a dozen figures stood suspended in the air. Vast auras emanated from them, finally rippling on the lake. Under such concentrated and terrifying pressure, the lake seemed to tremble like a sieve.
They looked at each other, showing surprise to varying degrees. The most astonished among them were the four Adventurers of Battle King Level. They had been somewhat arrogant before, but after arriving here, they realized that they couldn’t see through the levels of the others at all…
Quickly calming their minds, they became curious about what this employer wanted to do. They didn’t believe the claim of rescuing someone at all.
Gathering so many top-tier experts, they even suspected that this employer was going to overthrow the regime of a small country. In the demon battlefield, this existence could instantly turn into a meat grinder.
