Chapter 06: The Sky Firm
Arthur of the mercenary union was pleasantly surprised, not only easily found the little girl Venegia, but also unexpectedly learned that Brandon, the president of the union, still had a letter to stay.
When Venegia wanted to make a condition, Arthur frowned slightly, "Say, if it's not too much, I can consider it." ”
"I know you're still tracking down the incident, and judging from the letter my uncle left behind, it's likely that he didn't die in an accident, and that it was probably the same group that killed him as the one who attacked your mercenary group. So I want to be a part of this as well, and share all the information you have with me. ”
Arthur stared at Venegia in surprise, "If you want to avenge your uncle, his revenge has already been avenged, and all the killers involved in this matter are dead." It doesn't make sense for you to keep looking, and it's not something you should be involved in. ”
"The killer may be dead, but the people involved in it are still there. ”
"What do you mean?"
Venegia pushed a piece of paper in front of Arthur, "You can look at this, this is the letter my uncle left back then." ”
Arthur couldn't wait to copy it. It was an ordinary piece of paper, and it was only a few short sentences on it, and it began: "If there are any survivors of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Regiment, give them this letter." ”
The text of the letter reads: "I may have made the mistake of accepting this strange mission without determining the danger level of the mission. The client was an old man of about 100 years old with a gray beard, which was strange, and I could not recall any other features of him. The reason why I recklessly accepted this commission was because the client showed a seal of the director level of Yunxiao Commercial Bank. The client left the consignment on the spot and paid half of the commission for the task, which has not been seen since. ”
Arthur was completely stunned after reading the letter. Brandon gave a complete description of the mercenary union's process of accepting the commission and the information of the client, and left a clue, the superintendent-level seal of the Sky Firm.
Arthur, of course, knew that the Sky Merchant House was the No. 1 Terran Merchant House, and all kinds of goods even had channels to sell to foreign races. The owner behind the trading house is none other than the uncle of the previous emperor, King Yunxiao, and the Tianbao Auction House is also one of the properties under the name of King Yunxiao.
The head of the Yunxiao Merchant House is in charge of all the commercial affairs of a kingdom or a foreign race within a foreign race, and the wealth and power are only under the king.
This matter is actually related to Yunxiao Commercial Bank, and the difficulty of finding out the truth is probably no less than that of tracking down the "divine curse".
Venagia spoke again, "Do you still insist on your opinion? Follow the clue of the Cloud Firm, I have more favorable conditions than you in the Mercenary Guild." ”
Arthur hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "If you are not afraid of death and have to get involved, I will not stop you." But I have a problem, I was forced to get involved in this matter, and I have the responsibility of avenging the death of my brothers in the entire mercenary group. Why are you?"
"Avenge my uncle. ”
Arthur smiled, "It's a reason, but I don't believe it." ”
Venicia tilted her head to look at Arthur, "If I say that I have loved exploring the secrets of this world since I was a child, and the more this world wants to hide, the more I want to unravel it, would you believe it?"
Arthur spread his hands noncommittally, "If that's what you're asking for, I'll agree, and I'll tell you everything that happened before." ”
Venegia smiled and held out her hand to Arthur, "I hope we have a good time working together!"
Arthur didn't respond to Venegia's handshake, he still felt that the girl was a little strange, "If you don't ask for it, I still have a small request, remember the little Sky Star Wood box that Captain Keynes gave you back then? I hope you can give it back to me." ”
"You said that useless little box, I lost it a long time ago. ”
Arthur's head was full of black lines, a completely unexpected result.
"Please don't joke, that box is very important to me, and I'm willing to double the compensation to you. Arthur still wouldn't believe it.
"I really lost it, I didn't play for two days and then threw it aside, and I couldn't find it for a long time. ”
Arthur's face was full of disappointment, but he was also helpless about it, and the only consolation was that there were other clues after all.
After talking to Venegia, she began to prepare for the registration and oath of the new mercenary of the Blue Enchantress.
The vast majority of people, including the dwarf Toren and the elf Elani, are curious and excited about becoming a mercenary, and a new world of mercenaries opens its doors to them.
The Ten Princesses were especially excited and positive, and in her opinion, this was the beginning of truly breaking away from the imperial family and being able to support themselves on their own. Inadvertently, her behavior was also written into history, the first princess mercenary since the founding of the Bright Empire.
In the end, Spence was the only one among them who did not register as a mercenary, and let an eleven-level warrior start from the lowest-level small mercenary, he couldn't pull off that old face. Spence doesn't actually have much to do with the world, and he still chooses to stay after healing from his injury more because Joan, in order to help Aisha take care of her son.
After registering the mercenaries, Arthur took the group around the mission hall again. The original intention was to find a suitable B-level mission to announce the official launch of the mercenary group, but to my chagrin to find that there was not a single B-level or higher mission in the mission hall.
As a small border city, there are not many B-level or above missions with high dangers and high pay, and Arthur didn't want to break his promise to take on some low-level tasks, so he had to return with everyone in a huff.
As if cursed, Arthur asked Morar to run to the union mission hall every day, but he didn't have a B-class mission for half a month.
The blue enchantress, these new mercenaries full of expectations, spend their days in a boring waiting.
Don't look at the business that didn't come to the door, but there were more than a dozen mouths for eating.
Aunt Nightingale successively recommended six mercenaries to come over, and Arthur personally interviewed each of them, two fourth-level lieutenants and four third-level soldiers, all of whom were old mercenaries who were not young, and what the blue enchantress lacked now was an experienced old mercenary, so Arthur accepted them all.
With such a large yard being cleaned and maintained on a daily basis, and so many mouths to eat, Moral had to hire a few more handymen in the city to cook and clean the courtyard, and the popularity of the blue enchantress gradually increased.
Even Joan, who had nothing to do, began to complain to Arthur, "The light can't get in and out every day, even if we have money, we can't always be so idle, right?"
Arthur smiled, "Don't worry, the mercenary profession has always been open for three years, and it will be open for three years." ”
As Arthur was talking, Morar ran in from outside, and before he could enter the house, he shouted loudly, "Business, big business is here!"
