"Hello, Master"

Eronica didn't expect that the leader of the strongest mercenary group in the city, "Thunder", would be a young man in his twenties, let alone that this young mercenary leader would be a mage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I'm Eronica, the leader of the 'Sword and Rose' mercenary group, and I am seeking your group's help under the guidance of Mr. Evans."

"Grandpa Evans has sent someone to inform me of your intentions." The young man said, "My name is Jay, just call me by my name." A warm smile spread across his face, "I'm just an alchemist, not a mage. ”

"Not a mage?"

"Yes, Miss Speer." Weina's question was a bit rude, but the alchemist didn't care, "Many people have the same misconception as you, thinking that alchemists and mages are one, but in fact, alchemy can be independent of the mage system, although it is not easy. ”

Talking about his topic, the young man didn't stop talking for a while: "Mages are people who study the ether and know the nature of everything by heart, alchemy is a discipline they created that uses etheric matter, but not only mages can use alchemy. ”

"We mortals can too." The young man, who called himself an alchemist, continued, "How do you feel when you walk into the parlor and see the torches burning on their own. ”

"It's fantastical."

"It's like a mage."

"This is the result of this." He laughed and said that any alchemist would love to hear others compliment his work, "In alchemy, phosphorus is an aetheric substance that can burn at low temperatures, and mages can ignite them with spiritual power for one aspect. And all we mortals can do is design a mechanical system that, as soon as I pull the switch, it will turn the machinery hidden behind the wall, make them turn, rub the phosphorus in the torch, and make it burn. ”

"Sounds good."

"Of course, mages often design things that only serve mages, and the lighting system I designed is rudimentary, but it is accessible to everyone, and it is for everyone." The alchemist said proudly, opening his arms as if embracing the whole world, "I'm just a mortal without any talent, no matter how hard I try, I can't become a mage or a warrior, but I have hopes and dreams to change the world, I can create miracles!" ”

The young alchemist's face was filled with the frenzy of chasing his dreams, and later, his face was slightly calm, and he smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited, and when I talk about my ideals, I can't control myself." ”

"No, it's okay." Eronica said that the other party's attitude is impeccable, and the fanaticism of her own ideals is also understandable, and she does not plan to dwell too much on this issue, "It's just that I wonder if you can get to the point quickly, saving people is like fighting fire." ”

"I understand, it's just ......" the young man was a little embarrassed, "It's just that I don't know a lot about the mercenary group, these things are often handled by Big Brother Russ, although I received a notice from Grandpa Evans, but Big Brother is not in the city now, and I am still a novice in dealing with these problems." ”

'Russ?' Fury'Russ? ”

"Yes, the deputy head of our mercenary group." The young man's tone revealed envy and admiration, "He is a true mage, just like my brother. ”

"Really? How long are we going to wait. ”

"It won't be long," the head of the mercenary regiment assured, "Brother Russ was on a mission on the outskirts of the city this morning, and the time is almost coming back." ”

In that case, all that can be done is wait.

The wait is always long, especially when you are full of anxiety.

After two rounds of hourglass wheels in the hall, the door of the parlor was opened, and the man who appeared at the door was a dusty man, he had a handsome appearance, short orange hair, and looked very temperamental from a distance.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The man said this and strode in.

"Brother Russ, this is Eronica, the leader of the 'Sword and Rose' mercenary group, and this is Miss Vina of the Speer family." The young mercenary leader introduced the two parties, "Miss Eronica, Miss Wina, this is the deputy leader of our 'Thunder' mercenary group, Russ. ”

"Hello."

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got to the point.

"You mean you want us to help you with something." The four of them sat at a square table, opposite Russ and Eronica, "It's good to say, we have a stake in the fate of 'Casselo', and 'Perfume Beauty' is the enemy of 'Casselo' and our enemy. ”

He took out a map, which looked like an ordinary map of Aniji from a distance, but in fact it was divided into small areas with various line symbols: "This is the power map of Aniji, Aniji is a free city, and the power is controlled by the citizens' council, and the main body of the citizens' council is the major forces on this map, such as lightning represents 'thunder', the old man's head represents 'Casselo', and this perfume bottle represents 'perfume beauty'." ”

"It's not a big sphere of influence." Wei Na looked at the map, the label 'Perfume Beauty' only occupied three streets in the city, and outside the city was mainly a few mines in the eastern suburbs, and villas in the southern suburbs.

"Aniji is a free city, not an aristocratic lord." Russ explained, "Don't think of merchants as aristocrats, Aniki is the city of all traveling merchants, not the exclusive domain of a few large chambers of commerce, and if any one force does not leave room for others, I am afraid that it will be attacked by a group." ”

"We've received information that the cargo being transported in the caravan of the old traveling merchant Gil is a group of elves." Eronica looked at the map and said, "Have you informants noticed where the wagon from Old Jill's last cargo ended up?" ”

"Jill is Aniji's most well-known traveling merchant, and we've been following his movements since he joined the 'Fragrant Car Beauty'." Russ said, "But the extraction of information is an internal matter for our 'Thunder', so please wait a little longer." ”

With that, he turned and walked away. After about thirty mushas, he re-entered the council chamber and said straight to the point: "According to our information, Gil has not left the city of Aniji, but in a piece of information sent by 'Cacello', it is mentioned that before the sun rises today, a carriage has quietly left the city under the cover of night. ”

"Is there an escort?" Eronica frowned, this was not good news. In case the "Perfume Beauty" is sent out of the city directly after the kidnapping and transported to the commercial capital of Nieman, this matter will be really difficult to solve. None of Nieman's twelve Lords of Glory were idle.

"I didn't mention it," Russ replied, which made Eronica's heart sink down, but the latter sentence gave her hope, "However, the size of the team is not large. ”

"In other words," Eronica's brow furrowed, her tone slightly flattened, "is it on the outskirts of the city?" ”

The deputy head of the "Thunder" gave an affirmative reply: "If nothing else, it should be." ”

Then he unfolded the map, and the map showed the sphere of influence of the "Perfume Beauty" on the outskirts of the city. After everyone digested this information, he said: "Everyone has found out, the suburban forces of 'Perfume Beauty' are mainly distributed in the eastern and southern suburbs. The eastern suburbs are the main sphere of influence, while the southern suburbs are only a small area, and I suggest that the eastern suburbs be the main focus of the attack. ”

"Yes."

"Seconded."

No one objected, only Wei Na asked curiously, "You 'Thunder' plan to dispatch?" ”

"Yes," replied her in a voice without any hesitation, "'Perfume Beauty' is also the enemy of our 'Thunder', and there is an opportunity to do it in name and right, why should we be indifferent." This time, our fighters will be fully deployed! ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of "thunder", if you don't move, it is enough, and if you move, it is the momentum of thunder.

Aronica nodded and got up:

"Thank you very much."

After the time of the operation was thirty mushas, Eronica and Vina did not wait in place, but chose to return to the hotel first to report their safety to the group first, waiting for news from Old Fez.

Unlike the two teenage girls, Old Firth targets Romus from Nieman, and an experienced veteran mercenary with a nimble mercenary follows one of the masterminds to see if he can find any clues.

It's just that no news of him has come back yet.

Originally, the two girls planned to return to the hotel first, and then gather with Old Fez, and go to the station of the "Thunder" mercenary group together. But since Old Fez didn't come back, and there was no good way to contact him, he had to set off with the two of them.

Although the other mercenaries had this intention, neither Aronika nor Vina planned to bring them with them. Once the conflict between the "Thunder" mercenary group and the "Perfume Beauty" breaks out, it will definitely be a melee of more than ten fighters, and they are not sure that they can guarantee the safety of the mercenaries.

Fortunately, the mercenaries more or less understood the situation and did not embarrass the two too much, but just sighed together, sat back in their seats with a depressed face, and maintained a rare silence.

Monia has not been a member of this small mercenary group for a long time, but she has become a cute little sister in the eyes of every member of the group, a comrade-in-arms that everyone can rely on, and an indispensable and iconic ...... of "Sword and Rose" Mascot.

Time passed in silence bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye it was close to the time of Operation "Thunder", Eronica and Vina stood up, pushed open the door of the inn, and were about to leave, when a mercenary stood up: "Commander, you must bring little Monia back!" ”

Then, there was a moment of silence. Like a drop of water dripping into a basin of boiling oil, the scene immediately became chaotic.

"Yes! Little Monia is the sacred and inviolable property of our 'Sword and Rose', and the treasure of all of us, and the head of the regiment must not lose Little Monia! ”

"That's it, that's it, when I see little Monia, I think of my daughter I have never met, and I think she's almost the same age as little Monia now......"

"Get out, get out, just a big guy with three big and three thick, you can still give birth to a cute girl like Little Monia!"

"That's it! It is! ”

"Seconded! Seconded! ”

"Alas, Commander, I'll tell you. The only regret in my life is ...... I haven't fed little Monia yet, and every time I see her eating like a little hamster, I can't help but be cute...... Commander, you have to satisfy my last ambition! ”

"This damn a**!"

"Kill him! Shoot him! ”

"Little Monia is everyone's!"

The mercenaries scuffled, looking at this scene, Eronica and Vina couldn't help but sigh with their hands on their foreheads, and at the same time, they didn't know why they had a wonderful sense of security.

"Gone."

In the end, Eronica said that she pulled Weina out of the hotel, and in the hotel, the owner helplessly hid under the bar cabinet with his head in his hands, waiting for the brawl to end.

"Hey, hey! Don't slap your face! ”

"It's the face that hits!"

"Good! Good! I'm not done with you! ”

"Bastard, you're ......"

It is foreseeable that the boss's distress will not end in the short term.
