Chapter 44: A New Companion
In the morning, Regner only glanced at Anne Lot, after all, the scene was so chaotic, and he himself did not have much spare time to appreciate that rare beauty.
But despite this, Regner was still amazed by Annelot's face, with short light blue hair and a delicate countenance, Annelot showed a unique temperament that was very difficult to describe, like cold and not respectful, like arrogant but not arrogant, like indifferent but a lot of smart and cunning.
All in all, this beautiful girl made a deep impression on Regner, very deeply. Although he had met with Annelot in the morning, Regner was still a little sluggish when he saw Annelot again.
Annelot's features are as delicate as the most perfect carvings, but it is known that this cannot be done by human hands, and that it is only nature that can create such beautiful lines and unite them flawlessly. The girl's skin was unusually white, as bright and clear as the first snow on the branches, but under this pure white there was a faint touch of pink, which made her complexion not pale at all.
Truth be told, Anne Lot's close-up look gave Regner quite a visual impact, and now he's trying to wake himself up from it.
"Excuse me, may I go in?" Annelot's tone sounded more of a question than a request.
"Oh, of course, please come in. When Regner came to his senses, he graciously invited Annelot into the room.
"Thank you. Anne Lot has always given people a cold feeling, and Regner at close range seems to feel that the breath exhaled by this beautiful girl has a cold air.
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Mage in the morning, welcome. Cordak greeted him warmly.
"Thank you very much for the morning. Vera was also very enthusiastic, because she saved Regner's life at the last moment, so Annelot also made a good impression on Vera.
"Uh......" Regner wanted to say something, but the words of welcome were said by Cordak, and the words of thanks were snatched by Vera, so he could only say in a curtive voice for a long time: "Sit, sit ......"
Annelot found a place to sit down on her own, then glanced at the three of them coldly, and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Annelot. ”
"It turned out to be Miss Annelot, thank you this morning for your rescue, or my little brother might be in danger. Oh, what a faux pas, please allow me to introduce you, I'm Kordak, this kid is Regner, and this one is Vera, and all three of us are mercenaries. Cordak understood the terrifying strength of the delicate girl in front of him, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.
"I know the names of the three of you, please don't get me wrong, it's not that I mean to spy on anything, it's just that the Kordak team is quite famous in the Mercenary Alliance branch of Meteorite City. Anne Lott said.
"So, what is Miss Annelot's purpose in coming to us this time?" asked Cordak, who had made a very deep impression on the girl when she made a move, and that he had wanted to find Annelot and thank her in person, but he and Vera had been looking for a long time and could not find any trace of her, so they had to give up.
Now Anne Lot has come to the door on her own, which makes Cordak a little curious about her intentions.
Anne Lot nodded and said, "Since all three of you are here, then I'll be blunt, in fact, this matter should also need to be decided by the three of you." To put it simply, I want to join your mercenary squad. ”
"Huh?"
This time, the three of Kordak were stunned, they didn't guess Annelot's intention.
For example, Kordark, for which Cordak has prepared his own words, and the words of gratitude are certain, and he is ready to do something for Annelot, after all, she did save Regner's life, so as long as Annelot's orders are not too hurtful, Cordak intends to agree.
But he didn't expect Annelot to make such a surprising proposal, to join our mercenary team? According to Kordak's rough estimate, Annelot is at least a magician above level ten.
It is well known that magicians are the most prominent of all professions, and aside from the apprentices who can only do some flashy zero-level tricks, all successful magicians are the richest people who disdain to work with the vulgar warrior professions, nor do they disdain to work for the meagre commissions. Therefore, although there are many members of the Mercenary Alliance, mages are quite rare among them.
On another level, the reason why mages have such a noble status is not only because of their own scarcity, but also because they have the ability to call the wind and rain to destroy the world.
At the same level, a mage can crush almost all other classes, and even when the level difference is not particularly outrageous, it is not uncommon for a mage to skip a level to kill.
No one would doubt that mages are the most terrifying group of people in the world, which can be seen from the Eyes of the Secret Law alone: the Eyes of the Secret Law Association is the smallest of the four major forces, and its overall number of members is not even a quarter of the members of the Mercenary Alliance, and such a sparsely numbered organization can become one of the four major forces in the human world of the Eastern Continent because it has absorbed nearly three-quarters of the mages of the Eastern Continent.
In fact, with the exception of the newly rising Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, which has an unusually tough attitude under the leadership of a leader who has entered the Sanctuary, the other two organizations often consciously assume the posture of a subordinate in their exchanges with the Eyes of the Mystic, which shows the terrifyingness of the Eyes of the Arcane, and thus the terrifyingness of the mage.
Cordak had no doubt that if the three of them fought with Annelot, once they were pulled away by this beautiful girl, he and Regner would be real targets except for Vera who could be a certain threat.
Such a terrible person who was enough to destroy the entire team would take the initiative to ask to join their team? This can't be said to be pie in the sky, right? What fell was a golden pimple! So the three of Kordak were a little delirious by this "golden pimple", thinking that they had heard something wrong.
"Yes, I want to join your mercenary squad and join you as a mercenary. Unsurprised by the surprised expressions of the three, Annelot just repeated it in a cold tone.
After making sure that he had heard correctly, Kordak began to think about it seriously.
There is no doubt that the squad will be weakened by the loss of such an all-round support figure as Selenos, and it would be a good thing to have a strong player to add at this time. However, Kordaq is not an idiot who double-eyed at the sight of benefits, and there must be some reason why Anne Lot suddenly asked to join.
"So...... Forgive my presumptuousness, although our team is in need of additional personnel at the moment, and you have far exceeded our requirements, but it is a bit ...... for you to ask for so many people to join What do you say?" Cordak cautiously prompted Anne Lott to give an explanation.
Anne Lot nodded: "I can understand your doubts, in fact, there is nothing to hide. I've been studying under a high-ranking mage who lives in seclusion in Meteor City, and when I was four years old, the teacher recognized my talent for magic and took me to start practicing magic, and now it's been twelve years. Now my teacher thinks that I have achieved a little success, and he decided to let me go out and practice, and he said that only through the test of life and death can I make a breakthrough. So I chose to come out as a mercenary, and after some inquiry, I found that your team's reputation is really good in the city, so I am very interested in joining your team. ”
"I see. Cordak looked down in contemplation for a moment, then looked at Vera and Regner.
"No problem, I think it's okay. Regner didn't hesitate, his head pounding like garlic.
Vera glanced at Regner and said, "I also agree, if there is one more woman in the team, someone will talk to me in the future, not to mention that this little sister is so cute." ”
Cordak glanced at Annelot, knowing that Vera was talking about it for a reason. Because most mages gradually develop a certain degree of distortion in their personalities in the compliments of others, their tempers become more and more strange than the other.
Annelot's cold appearance must have come about in this way, and just now Vera was a sister and a cute name, and Annelot just wanted to see what Annelot's personality was.
If Anne Lot's thunder is thunderous because of these titles, then Cordak really doesn't want her very much, after all, they are all living a life of licking blood with knives, if they are serving a grandmother who has to pay attention to their tone in their daily life, then who can stand it? And after seeing that Anne Lot's cold expression was still unmoved, Kordak also put his mind at ease.
"Well, I don't have a problem with that, but before we do that, I think there are some conditions that we need to negotiate. Seeing that this matter was still far from dinner time, Kordak decided to take advantage of this time to finalize everything, after all, such a powerful mage is still quite sought-after, and it will be able to absorb it and save a lot of long nights.
"Please, as long as it's not too much, I think I'll accept it. Anne Lott said.
