Clifford wanted to scold him for spurting such irresponsible words, but he couldn’t find a reason to do so. He knew exactly what kind of organization the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons was, because the death of a fellow team member was as common as the action of one drinking water.

Clifford turned around and said to Locke, “Well, that’s what happened. You can find the team members yourself! As for the members’ salary, it’s all written on this list!”

Locke took the list and finally understood why the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons were so dangerous.

The captain received a monthly salary of 1,000 gold coins, and this was even without the reward of completing the mission.

Each member’s monthly salary was 200 gold coins. After a mission was completed, the team leader would distribute the reward to the team members.

After reading the list, Adolf Green handed him a small box. Inside the box was the team leader badge and team member badges of Team Four.

Each medal was very sturdy, and the paint on the outside was worn out. It was obvious that these team badges had been used for many years.

“When there’s a mission, I’ll send you a message through the team badge. When you receive the message, immediately return to this place!”

After giving his instructions, Adolf Green continued to lie on the chair and blow smoke rings at the ceiling.

After leaving the underground space, Locke asked Clifford, “Is that all?”

Clifford gave him a puzzled look. “Of course? What else did you think? Oh! One more thing. Follow me to the Hanos Science and Technology Tower to collect your equipment!”

“That’s it?”

Clifford knew what Locke wanted to ask, but now was not the time to tell him everything.

“That’s all for now! You’ll know the rest when the time’s right!”

Locke had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly while the young dragon Eliza hung behind him. It was an action that it’d somehow picked up on the way.

After leaving the special operations team branch, Clifford immediately brought Locke to a nearby secret resource supply area.

“When you’re on a mission, you can use the resources they have at any time! Only the captain has this power. The team members can only receive the minimum amount of resources. They’d have to be led by the captain to these places if they want to receive unlimited resources.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away with all these stuffs?”

Clifford did not understand what Locke was thinking at all. He helplessly massaged his gradually aching head.

“What’s the point of stealing these things? Don’t you cherish your home anymore?!”

Although he did not want to argue with Locke, he could not take it anymore!

Seeing Clifford’s frustration, Locke immediately patted his shoulder and explained, “You looked so serious, so I thought I’d make a small joke!”

Clifford was afraid that Locke would say something shocking again, so he quickly took two horses from the horse shed and left the capital with him.

The Hanos Science and Technology Tower was located on the edge of the mountains in the east of the Kingdom of Dunmei. It would only take half a day to reach it on a good horse.

The sun was about to set when they finally arrived at the Hanos Science and Technology Tower.

This was a sixteen-story tower. Each floor was more than ten meters tall, so this sixteen-story tower was close to two hundred meters in height.

The area below the tower was filled with the most elite soldiers of Dunmei, and there were more than three adult dragon-riders stationed here.

Because of the badge on Locke’s chest, the soldiers around him simply scanned the badge with a device before letting him pass.

As the king’s chief mage, Clifford’s identity had to be verified before he could be allowed to pass.

In front of the Hanos Science and Technology Tower, there was a huge door with green stripes. As they stood in front of the door, a beam of light scanned the identify the person who sought entry.

“Reynolds Locke—confirmed!”

“Reynolds Locke’s contract dragon—confirmed!”

“Clifford, the king’s chief mage—confirmed!”

After the scan was completed, the door opened.

Once inside, they could see everything inside the tower. The lobby was filled with researchers working. Seeing someone enter, the receptionist quickly walked over.

She was a very beautiful woman. She was not human, but an elf. With long golden hair and a beautiful face, she was dressed in professional attire.

“Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons Team 4 Captain, Reynolds Locke, and King’s Chief Mage, welcome to the Hanos Science and Technology Tower! This way, please!

“I’m the receptionist for the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons, and my name is Ischel Fergus. The next time you come, please feel free to look for me if you need anything!”

Perhaps it was because Ischel Fergus was a legitimate elf, she was a little arrogant and did not engage in friendly conversation with Locke.

After following them for a few minutes, they arrived at a room filled with weapons. There were all kinds of weapons inside the room, including knives, spears, swords, and axes.

“May I know what kind of weapon you prefer, Captain Reynolds?”

Looking at the various equipment in front of him, Locke cupped his chin and started thinking, ‘Now that I have a long-range battle spear in my hands, I should get some long-range weapons in case I need to use it for long-range attacks!’

After all, casting spells required a lot of chanting time, but long-range weapons were different. Its destructive power was much weaker than magic, but as long as enough magic was poured into it, its effect was instantaneous.

“I’d like some long-range weapons. I’ve got my own melee weapon, so I won’t need any more of those!”

After hearing Locke’s words, Ischel Fergus immediately brought a few floating boxes to Locke. Everything inside the boxes were long-ranged weapons: bows, arrows, magic short spears, magic long spears—

Locke walked over and grabbed a magic spear.

Ischel Fergus immediately explained, “With your current magic power, it’s going to be rather difficult for you to use this weapon! I suggest that you choose a bow and arrow. This way, it will be easier for you to use magic with it.”

As Locke had not borrowed the power of the young dragon Eliza, his own strength was indeed somewhat lacking. However, once he combined magic with Eliza, he could borrow all the energy from her.

That was why Locke chose the magic spear.

Locke also asked for a magic double dagger from Ischel Fergus. He wanted to be prepared for a fight in narrow areas, and a spear wouldn’t be any good there.

Seeing Locke’s choice and that he had ignoring her suggestion, Ischel Fergus immediately frowned. It would seem that she was getting more and more displeased with Locke.

She said to him, “I have yet to see your main weapon.. For your own safety, would you mind showing me your weapon?”
