After listening to Regner's story, Kordak cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I already know the basics. Then now I ask you, how did I cheat you?"

"You ......" Regner's tone was suffocating, at first he encountered an unexpected situation, and he couldn't help but panic under Alex's huge sense of oppression, and after escaping, he ran to the tavern without thinking about it. And now that Kordaq was asked like this, he thought about it carefully and found that Kordak really didn't treat him well.

"You see, you passed the test today, got a book, and joined the Lunaris Thieves Guild. You didn't know that you didn't live here before, but the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild was the largest thief guild in the Eastern Continent, and their leader alone had even more influence than the Meteorite Council that controlled Meteorite City. You said that Lao Tzu let you hug such a big thick leg, why did you trap you?" asked Kordak confidently.

"And what the hell is that yard you let me go to, and who is that man named Alex? I've never seen such a great guy!" Regner weakened a little.

"Oh, that place is the territory of the Lunaris Thieves Guild. They had set up that courtyard to assess the infiltration ability of the guild members. I thought you wouldn't be caught if you could sneak in safely and get out of the way, but who knew you were so stupid and found out. Kordak explained half-truthfully, and Regner didn't see anything wrong anyway.

"Hell, I think that Alex should be a high-level powerhouse, it's strange that I don't find out! What about the book? How do you know there's this thing in there? What is this writing?" Regner always felt strange in his heart.

"I've been inquiring about books for a long time, and as for what it's about, didn't you bring it back? Alright, now that you've passed the test, I can now officially declare you a member of our squad. Come on, come on, first have a drink and relax. In order to prevent Regner from seeing anything, Kordak quickly changed the subject.

Regner grabbed the glass and took a sip, then felt a hot liquid flow from his mouth down his esophagus and down to his stomach, as if he had drunk hot lava instead of wine.

"Ahem!ahem!" Regna was obviously the first time he had drunk such a strong drink, but he still held his back to avoid being looked down upon by Kordak. As a result, his face became redder and redder, and after a while, he became the color of pork liver.

Kordak smiled: "Yes, yes, this 'Agni Embrace' is one of the strongest drinks in this shop, I was choked on the first time I drank it back then, I didn't expect you to survive." ”

"Earlier, I almost choked back my internal injuries. Regner quickly poured water and rinsed his mouth.

"Alright, now let's get down to business. Now that you've officially joined our mercenary squad, it's time to talk about commission sharing. When I was with the two of them before, I took 30% and a half, Vera and Selenos took 30%, and the remaining half was used as the team's public funds, such as the last time you bought equipment, such as the pre-mission banquet before and after the mission, and the return banquet were all spent on the money. Now we have one more person, so the commission has to be redistributed. I don't know what you guys think about this. Kordak said, looking at the crowd.

"I don't care, anyway, I've saved a lot of money in the past few years, and it's still acceptable to lose one percent. Vera took a sip of her wine and said indifferently.

"I don't have any problems. Selenos said.

"Boss, you don't have to do this. Regner thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I know how many pounds and taels I have, and you can let me join your team because you look up to me." I'm not a bad guy, so I have a proposal for you to see: each of the three of you will be divided into half percent, so that it is one and a half, and I will take one of them, and the remaining half of it will be used as public funds to repay the money I spent on buying equipment, and when it will be enough, and when the half will be distributed to me. ”

Kordak looked at Vera and Selenos, and after the two nodded, he smiled and said, "Boy, you don't need to be so polite. Even if you have this equipment as a gift from us, you don't need to return it, as for the distribution, according to what you said, the three of us will each give half of it, and you will take half of it. Don't be too little, after all, you've just joined, and we'll change it after completing a few tasks for a while. ”

"Boss, that's more than a hundred gold coins...... Regna wanted to say something.

"All right, since you call me Boss. Then just listen to me, and this matter is decided. Kordak waved his hand.

"Oh, just listen to Kordak, we don't care what you care about!" Vera spoke, and Selenos patted Regner on the shoulder.

"That'...... All right. ”

"Then tomorrow you will report with me to the Mercenary Alliance. ”

"Mercenary Alliance?" Regner was stunned.

"It seems that it is still necessary to popularize the basic knowledge of the Eastern Continent for you. Kordaq took another sip of wine and said, "I think you must think that the human race in the Eastern Continent should be established with nine cities as the main body, and the nine city lords and the council behind them decide the fate of most of the human beings in the Eastern Continent?"

Regner thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it? In my opinion, nine cities are equivalent to nine countries, and nine city lords are the kings of nine countries, so they should be the ones who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Western Continent." ”

Kordak frowned, "You can't be completely wrong when you say that. But perhaps because you are from the Western Continent, there is still a certain misunderstanding in your opinion. First of all, the influence of the nine cities in the human race is much smaller than you think, and secondly, the nine cities of the eastern continent are not as many as you might think, they are very close, very close, so close that they are more intimate than you can imagine. They even form an alliance with a large number of common interests, and in a way, they are actually one. And this alliance is called the 'Nine Cities Alliance', and it is one of the four major forces that really affect the human race in the eastern continent. ”

"The Four Forces?" Regna apparently heard something new.

"That's right, unlike the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent doesn't have too many countries or geographical divisions, most of the people here are exiled, and the harsh living environment makes us have to force ourselves to cultivate magic or fighting spirit, so the number of adventurers in the Eastern Continent is far more than that in the Western Continent.

Most adventurers are accustomed to an adventurous life, and they rarely really settle down in a place, so they can't become citizens of any city. This is one of the reasons why the power of the city is weaker than you think, and as adventurers like us, we just join all kinds of organizations to serve and profit.

Among these many organizations, there are four of the most powerful, they are the 'Nine Cities Alliance' that holds the official power of the nine cities, the 'Mercenary Alliance' that is related to the interests of all mercenaries, and the 'Moon Shadow Thieves Guild', which has the most powerful assassination ability and controls almost the intelligence resources of the entire Eastern Continent, although the number is the rarest, but it has absorbed nearly three-quarters of the mages in the Eastern Continent's 'Arcane Eyes Association'. We, on the other hand, are peripheral members of the Mercenary Alliance. ”

"Periphery?" Regner asked again.

"Yes, although the Mercenary Alliance also has its own independent mercenary group, the power under its control alone is still not enough to meet the massive mercenary missions released every day. So they devised measures to expand their power again while maintaining a strict hierarchy of internal members and a clear division of labor, and recruited a large number of mercenaries as its peripheral members. And those fragmentary orders that only need three or five people to complete are freely selected by the peripheral members, and they charge half of the commission as a handling fee, which is why they are called mercenary alliances instead of XX mercenary groups. Kordak explained.

"Why is it so much?" said Regner, surprised.

"This is a relatively fair price, of course, the client can directly post a notice on the street to announce the reward, but this is still a bit risky. After all, in the absence of any credibility guarantee, no one can say the quality of the mercenaries' completion of the task, if it is an escort mission, in case the mercenaries change from guards to robbers, then the client is not crying and there is no place to cry?

The Mercenary Alliance, on the other hand, avoids this by making a file for all registered peripheral members, which mainly records the mercenary's completion of tasks and the mercenary's reputation rating based on these records. In this way, the client will also feel a lot more relieved when issuing tasks. Of course, the client will also pay an additional fee for this, so the mercenary alliance is also a two-way fee system. Kordak patiently explained

"But Boss. Regner hesitated for a moment and said, "Haven't I already signed a contract with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild now, and can I join the Mercenary Alliance now?"

"No problem!" Kordak was confident, "I remember you said you joined the Chores Department of the Lunaris Thieves Guild, right?"

"That's right. ”

"That's no problem, the Miscellaneous Department is actually the outer part of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. I've heard that this agency of theirs is on duty on a rotating basis, and it may be your turn to do things every month or so, so the Lunaris Thieves Guild will not interfere in any way with your actions. In fact, as long as they are not high-level members of the guild, as long as they do not affect the guild's tasks, even high-level personnel can go to the Mercenary Alliance to take tasks, which is the default of all organizations. Kordaq said.

"That's good. Regner breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay boy, I've pretty much said what I should say, don't think too much about it tonight, have a good drink with us, and deal with something tomorrow." Cordak raised his glass: "Come on, this glass of wine is a welcome welcome to Regner to join the team, let's have a drink tonight!"
