Chapter 24: Recruitment (II)
Not stupid enough to take out all the property to show off, a hundred gold coins, Ling Qi really didn't pay attention to it, but from the excited expressions of the crowd at the scene, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult it is for them to get some gold coins!
Perhaps, many of them have never seen a magical object in their lives!
Perhaps, when his net worth is fully exposed, he will be torn apart by the group of greedy adventurers in front of him without bothering to come to the door!
Only, why is he not short of money?
Although his first contact was with the high-ranking people, the Emperor and his Blade Guards. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Although he relied on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to scavenge a few things that would not have been his turn at all, he had such a rich net worth.
Although, he was inherently different from these people, he was born different, and he had something greater than God to do*.
But what about the staff in the goblin lair?
That old shaman, that nest of goblins, is definitely not powerful. Even if they have magic, even if they look more hideous, the disadvantage of the race makes their abilities extremely limited.
The life of that nest of goblins, their entire collection, is far less than the value of that staff!
Partial, let the fledgling meet an old and deaf inhuman inferior race spellcaster?
His harvest in the goblin lair is not too little at all, but too much!
It's not so much an adventure or adventure as a newbie gift for free!
The normal income has increased slightly during the course of the mission?!
For no reason, Ling Qi thought of the important hint given by the mysterious voice at the beginning!
Mission progress and earnings increase!
What is the task process? From the beginning of the main quest, survival is the task. In other words, he was already in the process of the mission from the very beginning!
Now is not the time to delve into this, suppressing his thoughts, Ling Qi looked at the greedy adventurers indifferently, and did not hide the disdain in his eyes, as if he was really a noble man on the high and brought a little pity to these lowly guys.
"You can sign a contract!"
In a word, like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heads, extinguishing the flame of greed.
Adventurers at the bottom take on quests, apparently rarely sign formal contracts.
Quite simply, a refined, officially recognized contract document, like the one he has in his hand, is worth at least one gold coin!
It is not just a piece of skin from a sheep, dried and tanned in the sun, and then it can be used to sign a contract.
Moreover, there is an additional fee to notarize the contract and back up the file in the official department, and the total cost of a set of processes is about ten gold coins.
Most adventurers, small merchants, don't pay an extra ten gold coins for an ordinary mission at all, that's a tax for a whole year in a small estate!
Only some wealthy merchants in the imperial capital, some hereditary nobles with official titles, or people like Ling Qi who didn't treat money as money at all, would think of signing formal contracts with their employees.
These types of people are not qualified to be contacted by ordinary adventurers. In fact, even the contract given by the city guard is incomplete. It has certain legal effect, but it lacks most of the necessary procedures.
"How many people do you want!
A cold voice came from the corner, which sounded more neutral, but it was still more brittle than the male voice.
It turned out to be a woman!
If you are willing to sign a contract, it is not only the task publisher who is guaranteed, but also the task recipient. It's not that everyone is like Ling Qi and doesn't take the law seriously.
"The mission of clearing the evil lair, there is no limit to the number of people, anyone who wants to go, I will not interfere. β
"Escort mission - up to one team. If appropriate, a small squad is enough. After all, there aren't many good goods in Little Link's stable. β
"The cost of signing the contract, of course, I will pay for it, I will buy the horse, and I will cover the additional necessary expenses on the road. And as long as I don't die, after arriving at the destination, members who died in the contract can also get the full amount of the mission reward, which can be collected by their family and friends. In addition, for those who died bravely in battle, I personally doubled the settling-in allowance. β
One team, that is, ten people, and a small team of five people. Predictable. In this world where one master can reach a hundred, the number of people doesn't mean anything.
With horses, the long-distance escort mission will be much simpler, some dangerous areas can be bypassed, and large wild creatures such as trolls can be calmly evacuated.
The most important thing is that if there are fewer people, the more money will be shared! If the quota of ten people is full, each person will be able to get fifteen gold coins after the task is completed! This is already a lot of income! Moreover, riding a horse from the imperial capital to Koloor lasted only more than half a month!
Besides, if you die, you will have a settling-in fee, and the treatment is better than that of the underworld!
"Good, I'll bring someone with me. β
Out of the gloomy corner came a tall woman, a female Nord, who looked like a meter nine!
Her appearance is very ordinary, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square mouth and a wide nose.
But the bare muscles on her arms and the heavy iron-armored vest she wore on her body made most men embarrassed.
Her weapon was as strong as her own, a two-handed sledgehammer behind her back, seventy or eighty pounds, and some spikes on the iron hammer head, which looked like a mace.
This is a formidable warrior who fights head-on bravely, but is not suitable for one-on-one combat.
Ling Qi judged so.
This woman looks violent, but she shouldn't be much of a threat to him.
Despite this, in the eyes of others, her appearance is much stronger than Ling Qi, and she is a mainstay material.
Ling Qi decided to woo her, and in the ranks of adventurers, this was already considered the backbone.
"You can, as for the person you're going to bringβ"
Ling Qi said this, the woman frowned, and said nothing, it seemed that she had a lot of confidence in her companion.
"Count me in!"
The dull voice was actually the drunkard at the table in the east, the same one who asked Ling Qi the question earlier.
His eyes were still foggy, and he didn't know if he had woken up.
He was about fifty years old, with half-gray hair, ragged clothes, and short and thin. Except for greed, there is nothing special on the surface.
Ling Qi was a little vigilant, and the voice of the wind spied on the secret hidden in the shadows, there was something wrong with this person!
"Yo~ Isn't this Old Jack~ Old Guy~ Are you okay! Your life is not worth the price-"
"That's it, you don't have any relatives alive again, if you die, who should be cheaper for settling in? Hahaha! Everyone says yes~"
Ling Qi was wondering if someone actually took the initiative to jump out and be a stone to ask for directions.
The ridicule of the two has not yet fallen, and before others have time to joke, all the sarcasm that is about to come to an end died in unison!
Feeling the coldness on their necks, the stinging pain began to spread, and the two who laughed at the two looked at the scimitar on their necks in a daze, the blood line had dripped down the blade, their throats were gurgling and speechless, and their teeth were chattering.
The unexpected change is shocking, and the taste of death has never been so close!
Master! Master of the Underworld!
The Persian prince's sword?
Ling Qi's eyes narrowed, this old man brought him a much stronger sense of threat than the female Nord.
It's not that he's much more powerful than the female Nord, it's that his fighting style is too aggressive!
The female Nord is like a standard warrior, Ling Qi's basic attributes are far inferior to her, but she can maneuver and fight.
This old man, once you start with him, activating the Bloody Wind Howl will be the only means, because it is a fight to the death!
Activate the skill and you die. If it is not activated, I die.
Ling Qi judged, squinting his eyes and smiling undiminishedly.
At this time, the female Nord who happened to walk in front of Ling Qi looked at the drunkard with the same vigilance.
She moved her steps slightly, blocking Ling Qi behind her, as if she had substituted herself into the role.
Ling Qi nodded secretly, deciding to give her a little more sweetness, this is a qualified guard, as for the other one...
The old drunkard shrugged his shoulders and quietly put away his twin knives, signaling to Ling Qi that he had no malicious intent.
"You can, who else wants to recommend their own!"
Ling Qi said lightly, his calm expression could not tell the true thoughts in his heart.
Everyone looked at each other, and many people were eager to take on this task.
It is dangerous to go from the imperial capital to Klor, but this also means that in the case of going on a lone road, now that two good players have joined, the danger factor is greatly reduced.
Moreover, for an escort mission, Ling Qi, the protected object, is not helpless in itself, which will make the task much easier.
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Ling Qi is more dangerous than the female Nord and the old drunkard combined!
Because he has money!
"Is there anyone else who wants to take on this task?"
The master of the two adventurers who stood up one after another did make the task easier, but it also scared many indiscriminate guys.
Ling Qi was not satisfied, because he wanted more of his subordinates, even if they were cannon fodder!
"Count us in!"
Two more people stood up and walked towards Ling Qi.
The first one is an Imperial man, more elegant, slightly older, about forty years old.
The one in the back is a young Nord man, carrying a double-sided axe on his back, and he also walks the route of violent flow. He looked very young, probably not yet twenty years old.
"Wait, he can. Little man, you can't!"
Before Ling Qi could speak, the female Nord who was acting as a guard in front of him had already begun to check for the patron, and said contemptuously to the imperial man in front of him.
