Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 62 Hurricane Mercenary Regiment
Seeing the frightened appearance of the leader of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Group, Roger muttered to himself, "It's almost time to watch the play, it seems that it's really time for the main protagonist to change the play." ”
On the other side of the round table, the bald man led by him naturally didn't know Roger's muttering in his heart, he stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, and his narrow eyes stared at several members of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Group, but when his gaze swept over the immature faces of Roger, there was a bit of indescribable cruelty in his eyes.
"Little bug, I think you've been getting better lately?"
Striding off the table, the bald man sneered, "Who gave you the courage to dare to do these little tricks in front of Lao Tzu? I haven't settled accounts with you about the stumbling behind our mercenary group mission last time, what do you want to do now? What a scum among the mercenaries, now, get out of Lao Tzu!"
Stared at by the fierce and gloomy gaze of the strong man's snake and scorpion, even though he knew that this was acting, the leader of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Group still subconsciously shrank his neck, and his mouth was stiff for a long time before he shouted inwardly: "Brandon, don't spew blood! You obviously want to rely on the fame of your Hurricane Mercenary Group to squeeze the living space of our little mercenary group, you ...... Let go of me, what do you want to do?!"
As soon as the flowers in front of him, Roger, who was in a state of watching the play, flashed dexterously to the side, but the leader of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Regiment, who had almost pressed his body on him, was not so agile, and in an instant, Brandon, who pounced on him, was on the wooden pillar of the hall, and with the flying of wood chips on the broken ground, the dust accumulated on the roof was raised, and everyone present coughed.
"Scum, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? You don't know what happened to you who really offended our Hurricane Mercenary Group, right?"
Tiny black scales slowly covered half of Brandon's body, and his arms, which were originally somewhat shriveled, were supported by strong muscles, which made him look like a lizard in human form.
At the same time, Brandon's palms changed into claws, and his thin nails were fastened around the neck of the leader of the Sea Serpent Mercenary Regiment, piercing his major arteries with a slight pinch.
"Don't ...... Don't do it, let's go, can't we get out?"
"Phew, let you go this time, don't let Lao Tzu see you again. ”
Hearing this, Brandon let go of his claws in disgust, like the head of the amnesty group hurriedly ran away with his hands and feet, not even daring to turn his head, Brandon spat in disgust at the back of everyone in the Sea Serpent Mercenary Group who left in embarrassment, and as soon as he turned around, he met Roger's eyes that had been brewing for a long time and were full of gratitude.
"Brother Brandon, thank you so much for your help. Roger's eyes were red, although his body was still trembling slightly from fear, he still stubbornly pulled Ryan beside him, bowed deeply to Brandon together, and choked up when he spoke.
"I've long heard that the mercenary circle is mixed, if it weren't for the dangerous conditions at sea, we wouldn't want to hire mercenaries, but I didn't expect that even if we wanted to pass through the mercenary guild, the way would still be so dangerous, if we didn't happen to meet Brother Brandon today, I'm afraid that our two brothers and companions would be unable to escape. Speaking of excitement, Roger couldn't help but put his arm around Ryan's shoulders and comforted his 'younger brother', who was also trembling from panic.
Ryan, who was still in a daze, tried to squeeze out a few tears, and cooperated with his unreliable mentor, while cautiously leaning into Roger's ear and whispering, "Mentor, what are you performing? When will I become your brother? ”
"Don't worry so much, just pretend to be scared, whether you can pull down the free labor depends on your teacher and my performance, haha, I didn't expect this stupid big man to be a black wizard's subordinate, this time I really picked up a treasure." ”
The lizard-like narrow vertical pupils stared at the two people hugging in front of him, and the instinct of the beast told Brandon that something was wrong, and the kid in front of him seemed cowardly, but he always gave him a faint oppressive force, that suffocating feeling, even far better than the adult who gave him strength, if he had to say it, it was like the prey had met his natural enemy.
"Haha, little brother, you are too polite, when you encounter this kind of scum who ruins the reputation of mercenaries, even if I don't make a move, I believe everyone will not sit idly by. ”
With a half-horrible lizard face, Brandon pretended to smile heartily, but in the end greed prevailed over instinct, and no matter what weirdness this guy had, he was confident that he could handle this skinny boy at will.
"But you can also rest assured, this kind of scum mercenary is a minority after all, little brother, you can go to Vikz Street to inquire, except for killing people and intercepting goods, there is no one that their Sea Serpent Mercenary Group dare not do, and the name has long been stinky. ”
"I don't know where you and your group are going, little brother, I'm still quite familiar with the mercenary circle of Vikz, not to mention anything else, I can also help you recommend a suitable mercenary group." Brandon had a cold glint in his eyes, and asked rather 'enthusiastically'.
Roger was snickering in his heart, but he still wiped his tears with the back of his hand and replied hesitantly: "This...... Brother Brandon, to tell you the truth, we are actually mage apprentices from the Heron School of Magic in the province of Cyprus, and this time we are following the commission of our mentor to collect some rare magic materials on a remote island on the edge of the Grey Sea. ”
"As for helping to recommend mercenary groups, you don't have to worry about it. Drooping his eyelids, Roger looked disheartened by the mercenary guild here, but turned his head and looked at Brandon hopefully, "I don't know if your hurricane mercenary group has any missions recently, we still trust Big Brother Brandon very much, if time permits, we want to hire you to escort us around the gray sea." ”
The prey took the bait.
Brandon suppressed the excitement in his heart, scratched his smooth skull, and said in a rather 'embarrassed' manner, "I don't want to help you if it's not the eldest brother, but you should also know that as a large mercenary group, the hiring price of our Hurricane Mercenary Group is still quite expensive, after all, our big group of mercenary groups is still waiting for me to feed, and you group of mage apprentices may not be able to afford it." ”
Seeing that there was still hope, Roger's face was happy, and he hurriedly took out a bulging pocket from his arms and slapped it on the counter, in a hurry, some old pockets were torn open at once, and the finely polished inky black soul crystals suddenly rolled off the table, reflecting blurry colors in the sun, and the surroundings were suddenly full of saliva, and those mercenaries who were distracted and concerned here couldn't help but shout in their hearts, what an idiot would be to throw so much money on the counter?
"Gollum. ”
Even Brandon, who boasted of having seen strong winds and waves, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the greedy look in his eyes became more and more intense, he knew that these guys were fat sheep, but he didn't expect that they would be rich to this extent, soul crystals can only be found in some ruins that have been abandoned for a long time, and they have always been in short supply for those mage masters, in the past, a crude crystal could be sold for a high price of more than ten gold langs, and the pile of soul crystals in front of him was more than ten votes before.
As if sensing the greedy gaze from the surroundings, Roger took the soul crystals full of tables into his arms, looked around vigilantly, and whispered to Brandon, who had returned to the image of a good big brother: "Big brother, there are many people here, do you think we should find another place to talk privately?"
"Oh, yes, what the little brother said makes sense, you put these away first, big brother, I'll take you to visit Vikz, let's talk while we walk, not to mention anything else, you apprentices may be able to get rare items from merchants from all over the world." ”
Brandon pretended to nod calmly, still unable to hide the excitement in his heart, and turned his head to glare at the mercenaries around him, these soul crystals have undoubtedly been regarded as his bag, how can this group of damn guys fight their own ideas?
Of course, Brandon's 'kindness' of protecting the calf won Roger's more grateful response, and for a while, the two became familiar like friends for many years, Brandon took Roger's shoulders, and each took a group of companions out of the gate of the Mercenary Guild.
Behind the counter, the clerk of the Mercenary Guild had been watching the farce in front of him coldly, until Roger and the others followed Brandon out of the guild gate, and then coldly beckoned the mercenaries who were hiding far away to continue to come over to handle business.
"Anita, aren't you very nosy on weekdays, why are you so quiet today. A big man with a beard joked with the clerk as he filled out a form for a hire assignment with a quill in his hand.
"I had a cold, my throat hurt, and I didn't want to talk. Anita pushed her glasses and replied insincerely.
Seeing that Anita was not salty and perfunctory, the bearded man felt bored, and with a stroke of his pen, he filled out the employment list, shrugged his shoulders and went to find his quiet employer.
Toto was about to slide off his glasses, and Anita coldly promulgated one task after another against the magic crystal slab, but couldn't help muttering in her heart, "Heron Academy of Magic...... That was destroyed in the catastrophe of Arcane Twilight three hundred years ago, what a simple boy, obviously a bad embryo, it seems that the Hurricane Mercenary Group has been in the limelight for so long, it seems that this time it will finally suffer a big loss, or good, but there is no need for the guild to do it......."
