    Chapter 130 The temptation of the first meeting, the origin of the Cult of Scourge

    In the long process of gradually growing, the humans of the Akaron continent have absorbed and borrowed from the ancient knowledge and customs of the once powerful elven clan to a certain extent. This move has more or less indirectly caused the conflicts between the two races.  Relatively similar aesthetics, especially when compared to the violent and bloodthirsty orcs of the northwest.

    Immersed in the beautiful melody of the elves, the waiter who left obediently seemed to have just left for a short while, and a soft and inaudible footsteps slowly approached from behind the two Sebastians.

    Arati¡¯s ears trembled slightly, trying to locate the exact position of the person behind him through the extremely slight sound.  Every muscle in his body was transformed into a battle-ready state almost in an instant. His feet were slightly on the ground so that he could get up and move immediately; his right hand was close to the scimitar at his waist with a very small amount of movement.

    The man approaching from behind was not just a light-footed person. Every time the man landed, he stepped exactly on the beat of the harp melody, so that until he was less than five meters away from Alati,  Only then did the latter become aware of it.  Approaching from behind quietly, if it's not a very close relationship, then it's a very presumptuous move.  If that person was an assassin, he would already have a huge advantage at this time. Although he took advantage of the geographical advantage, there was no need to worry about the so-called fairness in a life-and-death fight.  It is precisely because Arati deeply understands this that he reacts like a conditioned reflex that seems a bit extreme in the eyes of others.

    "Nice to meet you, Mr. Tannis. Please sit down. I may need some advice from you regarding the commission I plan to issue." Sebastian didn't seem to notice the ambiguous temptation from the other party.  Turning back, he simply pointed at the empty chair opposite.

    As soon as the other party stepped within fifteen meters of him, he was immediately noticed by the spiritual crystal servant in the young magician's arms.  No matter how superb your stealth skills are, as long as you are still a living thing, you can never hide from that special super-sensory ability based on the soul.

    As an official magician recognized by the Archmage Tower, Sebastian's status is obviously comparable to that of a hereditary baron.  Therefore, when he spoke, he used a more equal tone.  Although the other party could once be called an idol of adventurers and a legend in the mercenary world, now that the other party has chosen to take the initiative to retire, his identity at this moment is just a businessman.  Of course, it is unclear whether this attitude was due to the unpleasant temptation at hand.  Being lenient in disciplining oneself and being strict in disciplining others is a human flaw of most people, and even Sebastian is not exempt from it.  Even if he could understand Tanis's considerations, it was never pleasant to be tested for no reason.

    The man behind him paused for a moment, then immediately burst into hearty laughter.

    "Hahaha - I am also very happy to meet you, young magician Sebastian." A magnetic male voice happily replied, "It is my honor to serve you."

    With a sophisticated response, the famous battlefield wind no longer deliberately slowed down his steps, but took a few steps and turned to face the two of them.

    Half-elf Tanis is a little on the thin side. He wears light but elegant tight-fitting clothes. The silk material is decorated with various fine gems. Even compared with the nobles, he is not inferior. It seems that the income of the tavern is quite good.  Logically speaking, this battlefield wind is close to a hundred years old, but due to the half-elf blood in Tanis, the years have obviously not cruelly left obvious traces on him.

    The half-elf has a pair of deep emerald green eyes, a strong nose, and long golden shawl hair hanging down most of the way, cleverly covering his slightly pointed ears, and tied with a branch-shaped golden hair ring at the back of his head.  This famous legendary hero still looks as young and handsome as ever, especially the elegant demeanor revealed in his movements. Even if he is said to be an elf prince, I am afraid it will not arouse  Others suspected that perhaps only the carefully trimmed beard could reveal his half-human heritage.

    Two gorgeous elf swords hung loosely on the half-elf's belt, one on the left and one on the right. Even Sebastian couldn't help but take a few more glances.  Of course, what the young magician cares about is not the dazzling gems inlaid in the scabbard and handle, but their respective positions and the complex patterns that connect them to each other through intertwined mithril threads.

    Since the half-elf was the first to test, Sebastian naturally turned on his arcane vision with peace of mind and looked at the other party with a smile on his face.  The net worth of this battlefield wind is indeed worthy of his huge reputation. He carries several expensive magic items worth tens of thousands of gold with him. Not only the two elf long swords are both enchanted masterpieces.  , even ifThe hair ring on her head and the boots on her feet are also magic items, and the bright magic light they emit is no less than the magic scimitar on Alati's waist.  If it weren't for the fact that the half-elf himself was really wealthy, then one can imagine the accumulation of the elves over the past tens of millions of years.

    Tanis easily pulled out the chair, sat down, looked at the young magician with a smile, and asked: "So, is there anything I can do for you?"

    "I plan to hire a team of capable adventurers to help me go to Taxaros to deal with some troubles." I'm not surprised that the other party knows my identity - you know, there are several guys who can do this kind of intermediary business  Is it easy to get along with?  ¡ª¡ªSebastian said bluntly.

    "Taxaros?" Tanis did not respond immediately. Instead, he lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then looked at Sebastian again and slowly said, "Could it bethat it's about the God of Punishment there?  Rui Order?¡±

    "Your Excellency is quite well informed." Sebastian raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise.  It should be noted that the conflict between the Scourge Cult and the local people only took place for a few days. If it were a normal way of transmitting information, the information might not have entered Solens City yet.  It can be seen that the half-elf is able to secure its current position because of its uniqueness. At least the intelligence system is running quite well.

    "For our industry, information is wealth!" Tanis laughed and brought the topic back, "Those fanatical guys are in great trouble, how could you get involved with them?  of?"

    "Oh? How much do you know about them? I'd like to hear the details. As for the price, don't worry." Sebastian asked with interest.

    Since arriving here, Sebastian has not really had the opportunity to travel around in person. Almost all the knowledge he knows about this world comes from the information collected in the Archmage Tower.  He knows very well that data has great limitations and is actually quite unreliable in a certain sense.  Since the half-elf in front of him seemed to know the whereabouts of some of the druids, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.  The reason why information can be exchanged for wealth is that sometimes a piece of useful information can have a huge impact.

    "As a gift for the first meeting, this message will be given for free." Tanis smiled and blinked, and the relationship became closer lightly. "I believe that we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

    Sebastian smiled obediently and stretched out his hand to signal the other party to continue.

    "Since you can find me directly, you must have been introduced by an acquaintance. I have no intention of hiding it, and I believe you have noticed it. Yes, I am not a human, but a half-elf." Tanis said frankly, "Therefore,  I was also able to get some information from the elves. They know more about the Cult of Scourge than humans do."

    His commission unexpectedly may involve elves. Even Sebastian frowned and focused more on what the other party said next.

    "In recent millennia, the mainstream teachings of Druids have focused on the harmony of the entire ecosystem. In particular, the vast majority of human Druids have taken the initiative to help people in need develop agriculture and planting.  Industry. If you have read relevant records, you must also know that they have several very effective Druid spells to do this. If any lord can win over a qualified Druid, then the harvest of the territory  It's easy to flip through it. In those remote places, druids can be said to be more respected than magicians." Tanis added jokingly, seeing Sebastian's expression confused.  There was no response, so he could only curl his lips and continue, "But I am afraid that humans have long forgotten that in the more ancient times, the druids were by no means good-tempered guardian gods of the land. In ancient times, the druids believed in nature.  Nature contains both life and death, beauty and terror, peace and violence, and so do the druids. Although they are not arrogant enough to claim to be the masters of nature, a considerable number of druids  Idu fanatically believed that they should supervise other life as the guardian of nature to prevent others from destroying the balance of nature. Perhaps to us now, their ideas are ridiculous, but those ancient Druids at that time  They are indeed meticulous in adhering to and maintaining their so-called path of absolute neutrality.¡±

    "Absolutely neutral?" Sebastian repeated thoughtfully.

    "Yes, absolutely neutral." Tanis repeated the words he used, with a hint of solemnity in his tone. "Whenever those ancient druids think that the evil in this world has taken over,  When they have the upper hand, they will do their best to extinguish evil and show no mercy; however, if they think that in this world, kindnessWhen you take advantage"

    "Could they also take the initiative to suppress kindness?" Seeing Tanis pause, Arati couldn't help but ask.

    "That's right." The half-elf frowned and said in a deep voice, "They will create evil to compete with the good."

    "What a bunch of lunatics" Arati muttered to himself.

    "You are right, they are indeed a group of lunatics, but don't forget" The half-elf looked deeply at the two people in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, "They are a group of extremely powerful people.  madman."
