Chapter 243 The famous Free Guild
That day, a small team of deacons led several ordinary Wuhun Hall official members from the Wuhun Branch Hall in Notting City, carrying large and small bags in their hands, and headed for Shihun Village.
I won’t talk about what happened specifically. In short, after that day, Old John, an old man who had been simple all his life, completely became a "successful person" in the eyes of many other villagers.
After that, the status of Shihun Village, which was already quite famous around Notting City, rose to a higher level, and Old John, as the village chief, naturally became more famous. Although he was a lonely old man without children, people often visited him enthusiastically and chatted with him in recent years.
For these, Old John, after all, had lived to such an old age, to be honest, he could still detect a little bit of something wrong.
If he really got such treatment by relying on the number of civilian soul masters who came out of Shihun Village, he should have gotten it long ago.
Certainly, something unexpected happened, or a "big shot" emerged from the soul master seedlings that came out of Shihun Village in the past few decades, so he secretly took care of Shihun Village and him.
However, although he thought of these, he never intended to explore them.
It's rare to be confused.
Old John often missed a tragic three-year-old child whose parents died in Shihun Village who he accidentally adopted about ten years ago. If he was still by his side, with his current "prominent" status, even if he didn't become an excellent soul master in the end, he could at least help him find a good wife.
At this time, Wang Zhao looked at the surrounded old John from a distance, and saw that he was no longer wearing rough and ragged cloth, and he looked much cleaner and more decent. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little happy, and also felt that things had changed.
He shook his head and turned his back silently. A jade bottle suddenly appeared in his hand. After a pause, a small piece of paper appeared. Then he paused again, and his hand loosened. The small piece of paper fell. The red-gold soul power symbolizing the extreme blazing light flashed, and the small piece of paper was instantly burned to ashes.
"Ah..."
Wang Zhao looked at him leisurely, and used his strong soul power to force the stopper on the jade bottle open. Then a pill flew out of it. The pill was instantly melted into liquid medicine by the red-gold light and supported in the air by the pure soul power of light.
Then, Wang Zhao put his fingers together to form a sword, and the liquid medicine in the air changed its shape immediately, and finally condensed into a small water arrow.
Whoosh!
The silent, breathless, colorless and transparent liquid medicine water arrow instantly passed through the crowd at lightning speed and flew into the mouth of old John who was speaking.
No one noticed this scene, including Old John. He just suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat and couldn't help but touch it. He felt nothing wrong, and even didn't know why his body felt warm and comfortable for a while, so he didn't care much.
Wang Zhao left silently in the distance.
He repaid the three years of support by letting him live a peaceful old age and live a long and healthy life. This was the right thing he could do for Old John.
As for taking him to see a wider world? Go to Wuhun City? Even to see the entire soul master world, which is nothing in Wang Zhao's eyes? Or to help him become a soul master?
This...
Whether it is to repay a favor or revenge, it is still unknown. Since he has been living a peaceful life, Wang Zhao thinks it is better not to bother him too much, after all, he is old.
At this time, a voice came faintly from behind Wang Zhao.
"Old John, I recently heard that the Notting City Spirit Hall intends to invite you to be the host of the upcoming sacred ceremony. Is it true?"
"Of course it is."
Old John slightly raised his chest with some pride.
Suddenly, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a tall man in black robes walking with his back to him on a sparsely populated street in the distance.
He didn't think much about it, and quickly retracted his gaze, responding to the enthusiasm of the people around him.
...
Wang Zhao walked on the streets of Notting City with a complicated mood, and passed by a tavern unknowingly. So he thought about it and walked in, found a familiar corner seat and sat down quietly, ordered some drinks and peanuts.
At this time, there were many generous men in the tavern talking loudly.
"Oh, since the Soul Beast Forest was closed last year, I saw that many hunter soul masters who used to be stationed outside the walls of the Soul Beast Forest have become more comfortable. Basically, they have married young wives and started families. It's really strange."
A tall drinker suddenly said.
Hearing this, someone nearby couldn't help but ask him curiously: "Brother, how long have you not been out?"
The drunk scratched his head.
"My home is in a residential area not far from the Soul Beast Forest in Notting City. I help the shop for ironwork. I stay at home and go back and forth between the two places. I don't communicate with people much."
"Then this is what you don't know."
So someone soon explained to him enthusiastically.
"Have you heard of the Free Guild?"
"Free Guild?"
The drunk was stunned.
"It seems that I often hear passers-by mention it, but I haven't asked."
"No wonder."
"Let me tell you, the matter of the Free Guild must first start with the Dragon King Hall."
"You don't know about the Dragon King Hall, right? Oh, you should know about the Spirit Hall, right? There was only one "Palace" in the world before, and now there is suddenly a Dragon King Hall. You should be able to figure out the status of the Dragon King Hall, right?"
"Hiss!"
The drunk couldn't help but take a breath.
"That's really terrifying."
"Isn't it?"
"The Dragon King Palace is a super power ruled by the legendary Titled Douluo. It is extremely powerful. In recent years, it may have seized the development opportunities of the era of the closure of the soul beast forests in various places and established the Free Guild under its current name."
"The Free Guild is known as the end of infinite careers and a safe haven for the unemployed. It is a very large, free and open task bounty platform as its name suggests."
"Don't underestimate it. I don't know what secrets there are in the Free Guild. The speed of information circulation is very fast. I feel that the Sharp-tailed Swift Clan, which was once known as the fastest on the continent, has not been around for a long time. Even the information network that is built by the tireless night workers cannot be so efficient. "
"For example, the Free Guild branch has not yet been established in the small city of Nottingham. If you find a staff member of the Free Guild branch in the main city of Fasno and upload a bounty task, it may be seen by people in the Royal City of Barak on the other side in less than an incense stick of time. "
"What does this mean? If you have a very urgent problem that needs help, as long as you mark a sufficiently attractive bounty reward and submit it to the Free Guild in the form of a task, the Free Guild will quickly search for capable people or solutions that can solve the problem across the country or even the entire continent.
