On the upper deck, two mages were watching the rippling sea outside by the fence. Link's personal maids and Constance's personal maids stood quietly behind them, listening to the two mages chatting.

Link: "The little mages of those days have become high-level mages. Is this also going to the southern colonies to hunt orcs?"

Constance: "To be precise, at the invitation of the Southern Colonial Officials, I went there to be a resident mage."

The status of a resident mage is much higher than that of ordinary mercenaries. They usually teleport some people and goods, but they will only take action when they encounter an orc attack. However, it is not easy to ask for a high-level mage, so it is normal to reduce the danger and increase the treatment.

When you reach the level of a mage, even a resident mage cannot do it. At most, when the city is in danger, if you receive an urgent military information, you may go and help.

It’s just a colony, it’s not the time for a country to survive and die, so there’s no need to be too nervous.

Fortunately, the theme song of the mainland is peace and development. The southern countries mobilized a lot of troops to go directly, and guarded the colonial cities that are still in their hands.

In addition, the southern countries have relatively abundant financial resources, so they can recruit more adventurers and mercenaries to fight the front station. This is also a traditional war method on the mainland. If the power of mercenaries can be used, money can always be earned back.

Link: "You are doing well now, you are a level 12 mage."

Constance: "You refused to go to practice magic with me back then, but now you are stupid, your level is better than you. If you were willing to go to study with me back then, you would be at level 14 now. Maybe you will be able to advance to the magician in no time. This is the dream of many mages for the rest of their lives."

In this world, even if the mage is the highest achievement, once it is promoted to a mage, it means that both fame and fortune will be achieved.

However, for Link, he may never be able to reach the magical height of His Highness Helena or even Lucy, which is a perfect idea of ​​being a magician. Several level seven magic and level eight magic are also optional for Link. The key to learning magic is to hope that it is convenient and can open the portal.

Link's enemies cannot be solved by magic, they can definitely be solved by swords. There is no need to learn those forbidden spell-level magic.

Constance talked about his experience in the past few years: "After we broke up, I went directly to Zeland City to enroll in a magic training class. As a result, a few years later, it was about the time when I was at level 10, and the world war began.

Then our entire magic training class went to the battlefield, learning and preparing for battle. In fact, after fighting for so many years, we only participated in three battles. Many times it was fake alarms. It delayed a little more or less the learning progress. You see, I am only at level 12 now, otherwise, with my learning progress, I am at least level 13 now."

Link: "We are already lucky to survive the war."

Constance also thought so: "Yes, I'm very lucky to be alive. There are more than 150 people in our training class, and thirty-one people died in this battle. It can be considered a heavy casualty. Most of the dead bodies were not left behind. It's really miserable."

Link asked again and found out that Constance had been on the front line of the battle between the advanced learning team and the State of Zeeland. Although the situation on the entire battlefield was that the State of Zeeland was suppressing the State of Valen and the State of Friction on the ground, the State of Valen and the State of Ferris were not without the wizards. When the war started, the two sides fought several times because the State of Valen and the State of Ferris were defeated every time. Therefore, the State of Zeeland was able to gain an advantage in the battlefield against the State of Valen.

Everyone is still magical on the battlefield, and casualties are inevitable.

Link asked again, "By the way, why have you figured it out again? I won't go further in my studies?"

Constance: "The reward given by the colonial city stationed in the south this time is the entire magic array structure diagram of level seven magic. It is set every three years. Any level seven magic array structure diagram purchased in the advanced training class is more than a few thousand gold coins. The protection system is even more expensive.

I have been stationed here for three years and obtained a full set of magic array structure diagrams with level seven magic, which is still very profitable.

Besides, I don’t have to work every day. Unless I work every two days during the orc attack, I can still study magic for the rest of my time. It’s not a waste of time.”

"That's right, that's not bad."

Constance also asked, "I heard that your port is very profitable. Our entire magic training class bought the monster meat from there."

Link himself was also very satisfied with this: "It's okay, there are still tens of thousands of gold coins a month."

Link was talking about pure profit. Constance thought it was sales, but just like that, Constance was also a little surprised: "I said why didn't you go to the training class but go to business. You are simply a business genius. The family of a veteran magician may not have such a high income."

Link also believes this, but Link's seafood company is considered an emerging industry. It seems reasonable to make more money from emerging industries.

No one in other trading companies has learned that Link’s seafood company also set up a few big boats and went fishing. Unfortunately, their fishing nets are not powerful enough. When they encounter big fish, they can quickly tear the fishing nets woolen ropes.

The fishing nets of Link Port Seafood Company are either composite materials or metal, and they are always bitten by giant fish. Fortunately, Link brought them with sufficient stockings, and the bitten fishing nets can be taken back for repair, otherwise they will really not be able to withstand it.

For other trading companies that want to enter the seafood business, there is no profit if they don’t fight big fish. If they fight big fish, the fishing net will not hold on, let alone the danger of sea operations. The facts taught them that if they can’t do it, they can’t do it. They can make money with them, and in the end they give up on this business.

Now there are tens of thousands of workers and guards in Link Port, including fishing boats and sailors on ships. Link now attaches great importance to this career.

However, Constance advised: "Finally, I have to say that magic level is the fundamental. You must find a way to advance to the magician, otherwise you can defend this industry, and your child may not be able to defend this industry in the future."

Link has really thought so much. For a long-lived strong man like Link Helena, he has to find a career to avoid being bored every day. In the future, children and other things are still a bit far away for Link. It is not so easy to want a child at the level of Link, otherwise the guys with the bloodline of the strong would have run around long ago.

When someone chats, time passes faster. The distance between the southern ports is relatively far. This time, the paddlefish took nineteen days to sail and arrived at its destination, located in the Port of Hope in the south.

When he arrived here, Link broke up with Constance again. Neither of them stayed in Port Hope. Constance was going to Tallinn City to be his own resident mage. Link was going to take Phoenix, Mary Gis, and Veranika directly to the front line in the south.

Thanks to the fact that the southern countries were still dispatching troops to the southern front, this time Link and others directly arrived at the front with the troops heading to the south.

Outside the barracks, the mercenaries and adventurers here have formed a small town, and the drinks and women have also been mobilized by brave merchants to this battlefield.

When officers and soldiers have a holiday, they will come out to drink and find women in this temporary town. Although the orc army is coming here, it is already an important matter, but when it is time to relax, you still need to relax.

There is already a battle ahead, but it is just a front-line battle between humans and orcs. Everyone wants to capture more prisoners and ask for more information before the decisive battle. For this reason, on the bulletin board of the tavern in the town, the price of the live orc vanguards offered by the military is getting higher and higher.

Many mercenary groups made money or suffered heavy losses based on this.

Although there are rooms for rent in the town, the first thing is that the price is too expensive, almost more than three times that outside, and the food, wine and drinks are also sold at two or three times the price. I think the price for women here will not be too cheap. When the income is high, the expenses will definitely be large.

Because the rooms here are not clean and tidy, Link simply studied with other mercenaries and set up a large tent outside the town. Such large tents usually sleep ten people, or are used as military field command rooms.

Now living in four people is very spacious.

In terms of food, Link and others also prepared it themselves. At most, there are medium and low-level monster meat for sale in the town. The chef's level is that he has just left the dark food industry. No matter what point it is, Link can't eat it.

For Link, having a picnic is easy, digging holes, moving stones, and raising pots. Water, food, and even charcoal are carried by Link's space equipment. You don't have to endure exploitation like ordinary mercenaries.

When staying here, Link is to obtain first-hand information. Including other mercenary groups, except for the Erlangzi mercenary group who has just debuted, they will choose to obtain first-hand information first, and then make a judgment. With their own strength, which level of mission is the most cost-effective and safest.

So it is not unreasonable to ask someone to ask the depth of the river before crossing the river. If a giraffe is drowned when crossing the river, the pony does not have to repeat the same mistake, right?

Link is an expert in intelligence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an intelligence expert - because few men can control their own mouths when they are on women's belly.

After a picnic, in order to get information, Link went to the bar alone and ordered a glass of ale that was three times more expensive than Hope Port. When the maid brought the ale, Link grabbed the maid's waist with one hand and stuffed a small stack of silver coins into the maid's hand with the other hand.

Originally, the maid was a little angry when she was wrapped around her waist. If she could get frustrated by drinking a glass of wine, it wouldn't be too cheap. She didn't offer a commission for selling wine in this bar, unless she went to a small room to get a full service.

However, the silver coins that Link stuffed in casually made the maid quickly determine that the business was going to be completed. The ten silver coins in his hand basically paid the room fee and the price of his own service, and there was also a tip to get.

This is how men are. When they are outside, they start spending money when they make money. But if men don’t do this, how can they make money by themselves?

On the mainland, although women can also find jobs, most of them resign after marriage, because women have no way to take care of their children while working, and it is already the limit to take care of their children while washing and cooking. It is almost impossible to take care of their children while working. And women do not need to work for those rich families - in the concept of aristocrats, they are still the one that is shameful to get glorious for their work without work.

The maid took the money and smiled: "Are you going to the small room?"

Link pointed outside the door: "My tent is outside."

The maid was a little unhappy: "I have to go out, so I have to add more money."

Link stretched out three fingers: "Three times the price, follow me."

The maid nodded: "No problem."

The maid said it was fine, so she called a female companion from the kitchen and followed her from a distance. If the maid didn't come back, the owner of the tavern would still be somewhat embarrassed in the military, otherwise it would be impossible for him to open a tavern here.

When he arrived at Link's tent, the maid turned around on the spot: "What a big tent. Your subordinates are outside."

Link took out a large stack of silver coins: "Stop talking nonsense, I want first-hand information. From the front line."

Maid: "It's so tedious. It's really better to do business honestly..."

Link took out another stack of silver coins: "I'll add money."

"Okay, I've never seen orcs. Within this week, it is said that I have captured seven orcs in total, and more orcs have been killed. However, the mercenaries here have suffered great losses. At least the three small mercenary groups I have seen have been wiped out, and four or five mercenary groups have suffered heavy losses and left. However, the large mercenary groups have nothing to do, and the accidents are all small mercenary groups. I think you don't have many people, it's very dangerous..."

In short, Link still got enough information. Generally speaking, as long as there is a mercenary group with sanctuary warriors here, there is basically nothing wrong and there is no major damage. It seems that the orcs' high-end combat power has not yet appeared, and the danger of hunting on the front line is not very high.

Besides, I still have myself.

At least when Phoenix and the others were not in danger, Link was ready to use himself as a mage. Otherwise, he would lose the meaning of allowing Phoenix and the others to experience it.

The next day, after sleeping, I got up and collected the tent. A small mercenary group of four people went south and drove to the battlefield ahead. Not far from the camp, there were large areas of primeval forests. In this environment, the magic of the mage was subject to many restrictions, which was one of the reasons why the southern countries only recruited resident mages.

Here, an orc's necromancer can be used as a small team. Orcs do not go out alone to fight. In this huge primeval forest, there are at least three orc tribes of troops in it. This is also the news obtained by buying information.

The officer who said this was not considered a leak, after all, orcs could not get news from the human military from the maid.
