Chapter 55
Mo was speechless the moment he spoke, so he didn't bother to talk to Eugene about it again. I thought that Flynn should be back soon, so I just had to send a gift to Kona when the time came.
In the evening, Eugene went to the tavern to drink as usual, according to what he said, he was a mercenary after today, and he might not be able to drink so happily every day in the future.
And Mo continued to flip through the magic books left by Sean in his room, judging from today's battle with the werewolf, his own combat skills still need more magic to assist. It wasn't until late at night that Mo fell asleep.
The next day, Ink and Eugene arrived at the meeting point of the mercenary team on time, at this time Ink found that there were already several people waiting in the front yard, Ink glanced at it, two humans and an elf plus the female werewolf yesterday There are a total of four.
After Ink and Eugene entered the door, the werewolf said, "Everyone is together, you wait a minute." With that, the werewolf entered the back room of the lobby, while the others stood in the front yard and waited peacefully.
Soon after, the werewolf came out, followed by a woman. And this woman shocked Mo's heart, how could it be her?
If Mo hadn't looked away, this person would have killed the mayor of the town three years ago, and then killed Lin Le'an a few days ago. From his form, his long silver-white hair and pupils, and the magical elements that slowly emanated from her, it was so familiar.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Chris, and I am the captain of this mercenary team, and I will be in charge of all the affairs of the mercenary team after that. As soon as the words came out, Mo felt like he had been struck by lightning.
She was Chris, and after a wave of amazement, memories quickly began to come back. He watched and observed carefully.
He vaguely remembered that Chris did have the same hair color and pupils, but at that time it was short hair, but at this time it had a straight high ponytail, and his face was very beautiful, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, but at the same time it also retained the mysterious characteristics of the elves.
Murphy also looked behind Chris, but didn't see the white wings. Then she also used wind magic, and the most important point was why she didn't kill me directly after killing the mayor in the first place. So it seems that everything fits together.
"This is Ogu, if I don't have any questions, you can ask her directly. Chris said, pointing to the werewolf.
"Several of you have been selected and stayed, and I hope you can work closely together in the future, whether you are for improving your strength or for money!"
"Ogu, read them the rules of the team. Truth be told, Mo didn't listen to a word of the long clause that followed, and his attention was mostly on Chris. At this time, Mo Zhen didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
I haven't seen her for so many years and I met her here so coincidentally, I am happy to be reunited after a long absence, and I am sad that he is actually the female killer that night, which indirectly led to the death of my adoptive father Qin Yu.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Eugene looked at Mo's face red and white for a while, his expression kept changing, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he gently pushed Mo.
Ink reacted immediately, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing!" and then Chris began to introduce the team.
"This is Mu Xin, who is the healer of our team, and is a mid-level priest. Mo looked at the human priest in front of her, who looked very quiet and feminine, dressed in a standard church priest's one-piece white dress, but was very shy, whispered hello everyone, and then lowered his head and did not speak.
"This is Xiao Ye, a mid-level second-stage fire elemental mage. I saw that this human male mage was dressed in a black mage robe, with short red hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly proud smile on his face, and then he only nodded to everyone.
"The last one is Lynn, the elven mid-rank archer. Mo also looked at it carefully, after all, these were all his teammates after that. This archer looked not very old, with a long bow on his back, and a little green on his face, black hair, a high nose and a handsome face, and a slightly thin body, but he made people feel energetic.
"Yo, everyone, please take care of me in the future!" Lynn greeted with a smile. Chris then gave a brief overview of Mur and Eugene.
"Let's go. Then she led the mercenary team out of the stream, preparing to go to the mercenary station, and Mo followed behind the team with a very complicated mood.
"Six-zero-eight" Chris arrived at the site and directly reported a string of numbers to the nezumi, and when the nezumi heard it, he said, "Go in, the people are already waiting for you inside." ”
Chris let out an "um" and entered the site's inner room, and Ogu ordered everyone to stay outside and wait. After only ten minutes of waiting, Chris came out of the inner room.
Then he told the nezumi that "this task is ours, and the time limit is three days." Then the nezumi took down a thick book and quickly wrote something.
"Let's go," Chris said, leading everyone out of town, and began to tell everyone about the goal of the mission as they went.
"This is an official mission, and the road from Miriam Town to Pegasus has not been very peaceful, as I believe you know. The day before yesterday, a local businessman was kidnapped by a gang of bandits south of Boggs while transporting goods, and the goal of this time was to save people. There was a pause, and then Chris pulled out a piece of parchment.
"According to official information, these people are repeat offenders, and the official has long had the idea of eradicating them. But unfortunately, Pegasus has been short of manpower, so this time we hired our mercenary team. ”
"What is the strength of the other party?" At this time, Xiao Ye on the side began to speak.
"At present, it is known that there are about twenty people, and the leader is a high-level warrior, two middle-level fourth-to-fifth-rank elemental envoys. The other strengths range from beginner to intermediate level. ”
During the conversation, Mo paid attention to the pastor named Mu Xin, and he didn't even raise his head. If Mo guessed correctly, it is estimated that it is the same as him on his first mission.
"This time, your commission is thirty gold coins, of which according to the team's system, each person needs to pay five gold coins to the mercenary team for supplies. If it fails, the mercenary team itself needs to pay liquidated damages in the amount of three hundred gold coins. ”
"Wow, that's so much?" said Lynn, the archer, in surprise.
"Liquidated damages are basically paid at 10 times the amount of the individual's income. Xiao Ye answered on the side.
"Finally, we'll probably arrive in the evening, when we'll rest for a while and I'll give you a plan of action. Do you get it?"
"Understood!" everyone immediately responded to Chris, after all, this is the first time to go on a mission, and everyone will definitely go all out.
Along the way, probably because everyone didn't know each other well, they didn't talk much.
"I said, what's wrong with you, how do you feel like you've been restless all the way?" Eugene arched the ink beside him with his hand.
"Well, I'm here, I'm thinking about what I'm going to do after I get the commission. ”
", I think you just see the captain so beautiful, and your mind is all on her, right? Although Eugene's voice was not very loud, it was clear to the other people on the forest path.
Especially Lynn also laughed out loud with a "poof". "What are you talking about? Mur looked at Chris a little embarrassed, but she continued to walk at the front of the line as if she hadn't heard.
But with Eugene's words, the silence eased a little, and then everyone chatted, but Mu Xin and Agu were still the two with the least words.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way to their destination in the evening, and Chris asked everyone to sit and rest for a while, and brought out food to share with everyone. Then he took out a map and spread it on the ground.
"Where we are now," Chris then gestured to the location marked with a blue circle on the map.
"We're about ten minutes further away to see the bottom of the mountain, and there's probably only one or two patrols along the way, and I'll just leave these two. Just keep going up, and don't startle the snake. At this point, everyone nodded.
"I'll be waiting for you at the top of the mountain, you can do it when you get to the stockade, I'll hold their leader and the other two elementals, and you have to do the rest as fast as you can, because I won't be able to delay it for long!" Chris drew the entire route and pointed it out to the crowd.
"Alright, let's act, if there is an emergency, listen to Ogu. With that, Chris walked forward alone, and everyone cleaned up a little and followed.
Following the direction Chris said, I didn't go far to the bottom of the mountain. Mo looked up, the mountain was not high, and he could vaguely see two wooden sentry posts, but there were no people on them.
"Let's go!" Agu gave the order, everyone began to march up quickly, the road was very peaceful, it seemed that the patrol had been done by Chris, and after walking along the mountain road for nearly an hour, everyone finally stood in front of Dazhai.
There were two heavily armed guards standing in front of the wall, and when they saw everyone, they felt that the momentum was wrong. Then he shouted, "Copy guy!"
