Chapter 8: Shopaholic

The three of them were suddenly startled, and then Vera only felt a cool air coming from behind, which made her tremble, it turned out that at some point, a thin and slender man in black leather armor appeared behind Vera!

Kordaq was slightly moved, and before he could say anything, Selenos reacted, he drew his sword without hesitation and threw himself at the man, while shouting, "Vera, go!"

Vera forced her composure and quickly pulled out the dagger pinned to her calf, intending to turn around and cut crosswise. However, neither Selenos nor Vera could get their wish.

The man smiled slightly, raised his right hand flat and grabbed Selenos's wrist in an instant, and then exerted force with his hand, Selenos in the air only felt a force attack, and when he came back to his senses again, he was already sitting peacefully on the chair again. The man's left hand gently pressed Vera's right shoulder, and Vera felt a force pressing down on her right shoulder, only making her unable to move.

"High-level warrior!" Selenos and Vera couldn't help but be horrified in their hearts, being able to suppress the two of them so easily, ordinary mid-level warriors couldn't do it anyway.

"Please don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions. The man smiled.

"It's just that Mr. Alex has a bit of a bad taste every time he plays. Kordak didn't look good.

"Well, I apologize for what I just did. Alex bowed slightly: "Didn't Mr. Kordak introduce your team members to me?"

Kordak got up and closed the door that had been opened by Alex at some point, then sat down in his chair and sighed, "Well, this is the member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild I told you about earlier, and the client of this mission, Mr. Alex. And these two are my companions, Vera and Selenos. So, what's the matter with Alex coming this time?"

Alex took out a large cloth bag from his back as if by magic and threw it on the table: "This is the three hundred gold coins that I said before, Your Excellency can order a little." ”

"Not really. Kordak waved his hand haughtily, "I'm sure the Lunaris Thieves Guild won't be calculating anything with us little minions. I have a few things I want to ask, though. ”

"Please. ”

"Although we all know that mercenaries never ask why. But this is a strange thing about your commission, and we don't want you to tell us all the inside story, but I wonder if you can say anything that will put us at ease? I think it will be good for us, for Regner, and for the client. ”

Kordak said vaguely, but Alex also understood the meaning, and he smiled slightly: "I understand what you mean, please rest assured, my commission this time...... Kindness...... It's actually a rookie training program for our guild, and I promise it has no malicious purpose, not for anyone. I wonder if you're happy with what I'm saying?"

"Satisfied. Kordak breathed a sigh of relief, and then pushed the money bag on the table: "In that case, please take back this commission." ”

"Oh, what does that mean?"

Kordak smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that I really like Regner and really want to be friends with him, so I don't want to make this a money deal." If I take your money, then I'm afraid that I will be a little unnatural when I face him in the future. Moreover, because I only went to save people because I received money, if this kind of thing gets out, I won't have the face to mix in Meteorite City in the future, it's as simple as that. But you can rest assured, even if I don't take your money, I'll let Regner join our team, this kid is very angry with me, and I'm willing to pull him in. ”

"Don't you want to be on your own, don't you have to think about the rest of the team?" Alex looked at Vera and Selenos.

"It's not negotiable, I'm sure my teammates aren't that kind of people. Kordak looked at his two companions with confidence, and they both nodded.

"Okay! It is worthy of the mercenary team with the best reputation in Falling Star City, it seems that this time I entrusted you with the right choice. However, please take the money back. Alex pushed the purse again.

Kordak's brows furrowed, and he said with some displeasure, "What? Do you think I'm just putting on a show?"

"I don't doubt Mr. Kordak's character. Alex explained: "It's just that I think Regner is almost poor and nothing since he came here......"

Cordak shook his head and said seriously, "Mr. Alix is too polite, that kid is not only poor, he is simply bare-assed." ”

"Uh...... All right. Alex's face was strange: "In short, Regner is very poor, even if I am a mercenary with you, I think I need a lot of equipment and props, so."

You can pass the money to him as his start-up capital, and the rest will be the money that Regner will pay for your drinks in the future. Of course, as always, please don't reveal anything about me or our guild. ”

"What kind of shit luck did Regner take?" Cordak pouted: "I really can't think of anything better than me other than this kid who can eat it, and he can attract the attention of a behemoth like you?"

Alex shook his head: "No, you guessed wrong, your mercenary life will be the same in the future, and we will not send anyone to follow or protect you." So please don't take any chances when you go on missions in the future. ”

"Well, I thought someone was going to be our invisible bodyguard in the future. Is there anything else going on? Your Excellency didn't come all the way to give us a commission?"

"That's nature. Alex nodded: "The main purpose of my visit this time is actually related to your test of Regner. ”

......

"Sister Vera, are you sure you want me to buy it? That's fifty gold coins. Even if he didn't spend his own money, Regner still broke down a little when he looked at the price on the label, and Vera's performance reminded him of the morning scene:

Early in the morning, Regner was picked up by Kordakra and began to complete the day's planned tasks under his arrangement. Kordaq is going to the Mercenary Alliance today to go through the relevant procedures for the completion of the mission, and also to sort out the loot obtained from this trip, such as the Swift Shadow Dragon Skin, which should be sold as soon as possible. Selenos, on the other hand, took everyone's weapons and went to the blacksmith to repair them.

"Let's go, Regner, let all the shopkeepers kneel before us and sing conquest!" Vera was in high spirits, and the battle intent that erupted in her eyes made the other three almost tremble.

Just when Regner was a little confused, Cordak secretly pulled him aside and muttered, "I said, Vera's mother-in-law never counts her money, you kid can have a snack." ”

"You gave her two hundred gold coins, you can't spend it all, right?" Regner looked at Vera, who was full of fighting spirit and kept shouting.

"Got a!" Kordaq squirted Regner in the face again.

Regner wiped his face expressionlessly: "Boss, it's time for you to change your habit of talking." ”

Kordak ignored Regner and continued: "This woman is the more gold coins, the faster she spends, you give her twenty gold coins, she can spend it in a week, you give her fifty gold coins, she can spend it in one day, you give her a hundred gold coins, she can spend it in half a day, if you give her two hundred gold coins, I estimate that it will be gone to a store!"

"I ...... I rub" Regner was stunned for a long time before she came out with these two words, she really couldn't imagine how a person could spend two hundred gold coins in a store, is this a store bag?

"Then boss, don't let Sister Vera take me, who will you or Big Brother Selenos change with her?"

"Can I stop her like that?" said Kordak, grimacing.

Regner turned his head to look at Vera, who was in high spirits, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "That...... I look at Sister Vera's state, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it then. ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!, or you'll wait for Vera to mortgage you to the store!!," Kordak said viciously, and left.

......

Regner came back to his senses, opened the money bag and looked at it, and couldn't help but turn a little green.

From the time they set out, the two of them had only visited two shops, and they had purchased two steel daggers, a Mithril-Bladed longsword, six throwing knives, two climbing hooks, a Mithril wire with a hair thickness of five meters, a blow pipe and a set of anesthetic blow pins at a weapon shop called the Flaming Hammer.

Later, after coming to this prop and equipment store called "Survival Journey", they bought a number of smoke bombs, several sets of trap parts, two tight-fitting leather armor, gloves, boots, and bracers. And now Vera had her eyes on the shadow cloak that hung on the wall......

"Oh, I haven't been worried about the money yet, what are you worried about!" Vera looked at Regner, who was almost armed to the teeth, with satisfaction, and then turned to the shopkeeper and said the words that made Regner crazy: "Boss, bring me the cloak to see!"
