Chapter 330: Bitter smile
Franco was a little anxious and a little helpless.
He is from the Helsinki Empire and has formed a mercenary group with a few friends. Of course, with the size of the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group, it may be more appropriate to say that it is a mercenary team.
Regardless of whether it is a mercenary group or a mercenary team, they have taken on a mission anyway, and they need to go to a city that originally belonged to the Southern Federation. After handing over the task and getting paid, their mercenary union there took a fancy to another commission, which was to send a piece of goods to a distant desert kingdom.
From the westernmost point of the original Southern Federation, near the Helsinki Empire, to the easternmost desert kingdom of the Oss continent, the road can be described as very long. But for the sake of the client's good remuneration, they still took the task.
Who would have thought that the seemingly simple task of running errands was full of obstacles from the first day after they hit the road. came all the way, and before arriving at Gaozhou City, he even lost the Bright Priest in the team.
Although the scale of the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group is not large, although the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, the staffing is quite reasonable. Conversely, it also shows that they are strapped for manpower, and that no matter which one is missing, it will be difficult for others to fill the hole.
In desperation, Franco could only take his team members to temporarily rest in Gaozhou City, while trying to see if he could recruit new members on the spot.
However, a few days have passed, not to mention finding suitable people, even if there are few people who come to ask.
Franco knew that with the size and strength of their Spirit Fox mercenary group, it would be difficult to recruit people in this foreign country where he was unfamiliar with his life. It was precisely because of his accurate understanding that he did not spend unjustly money to issue a task to the nearby mercenary union. The mission release of the Mercenary Guild only makes more people aware of the news, but it does not guarantee that people will be willing to join the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group.
In desperation, Franco had no choice but to lower the requirements and reduce the recruitment of the Priest of Light to a priest.
The Priest is a support member of the mercenary group, mainly responsible for healing injured team members, as well as applying buffs to companions during battle, and applying negative magic to enemies. It can be said that it is a rather important role.
When it comes to priests, of course, the priests of the Holy See of Light are the best. Even the origin of the profession of "priest" was actually a priest from the Holy See of Light. It was only later that mercenary groups of all sizes realized the importance of this role, and non-Bright Sect people slowly began to take on responsibilities, that the definition of "priest" became broader.
However, these extremely devout believers to the God of Light rarely walk outside alone, and even fewer join the mercenary group. If the original Priest of Light hadn't known Franco since he was a child, he wouldn't have joined the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group at all.
But I didn't expect that a simple errand task would fold this companion into it.
If he had known this, he would never have taken on this hellish mission by killing Franco. But since the incident has happened, there is no point in being sad and regretting, and only by finding a way to continue to complete the task can we not let the sacrifice of our companions be in vain.
Franco sighed to himself, cursing in his heart that it was too inappropriate for this Gaozhou city to engage in rebellion and counterinsurgency. It was already difficult for his small Spirit Fox mercenary group to recruit manpower, and with such a play, it was even more difficult. The errand task is getting closer, so we can't afford to delay too long. If you still can't recruit people, you have to go on the road......
Suddenly, a shadow fell on the table in front of Franco, and an exclamation rang in his ears at the same time.
"Young City Lord!"
"Why is the young city lord here?"
"Hello, young city lord......"
Franco was taken aback, and beads of sweat began to form on his broad forehead.
Could it be that what I was thinking just now came out unconsciously? Otherwise, how could I provoke some young city lord in Gaozhou City.
Damn it! This time it's really a curse!
In other people's territory, you can't run away, Franco raised his head tremblingly and looked at the two people in front of him.
The two were both as young, and Franco couldn't figure out which was the young city lord.
"I don't know...... Hehe~ I don't know what the two of you are doing? ”
Franco laughed dryly, squeezing out a smile with difficulty, but it was worse than crying.
"Aren't you recruiting temporary members here?" Long Aotian pointed to the white cloth.
Franco looked at him and began to understand a little: "You're the Priest of Light?" ”
Long Aotian shook his head and said, "No. ”
Franco also shook his head: "Sorry then, we only ......"
As soon as he said the beginning, he was stunned, and then he realized that he had just changed the recruitment conditions.
Sure enough, Long Aotian showed a puzzled look: "I see that you just crossed out the word light, are you still only looking for the light priest?" ”
Franco smiled embarrassedly and said secretly: Have you been staring at me, the recruitment conditions have just been lowered here, and you immediately came up.
"Are you a mage in the first realm? Which department? What kind of magic are you good at? ”
Seeing that the other party did not come up to ask the teacher, Franco immediately put himself in the right position and entered the role of the chief examiner.
"I will be a group blessing and a group healing." Long Aotian said a simple sentence and interrupted Franco's gushing "interview questions".
Franco was stunned, he didn't expect the young man to be so direct. But his words pondered in his mouth, and then he reacted.
This young man spoke concisely and to the point.
As a priest in a team, the most important thing is the ability to heal injuries. The second is to cast buffs on teammates.
Crowd Healing is a level 5 magic spell of light that heals multiple targets at once. Its pre-magic is a third-level healing, while the pre-magic of the healing is a one-pole healing.
It can be said that if you have mastered the group healing technique, you can already be regarded as a qualified pastor.
Similar to Group Healing, Group Blessing is a level 4 light magic that can bless multiple targets at the same time, greatly increasing their attack, defense, speed, and other attributes, and is also a fairly useful secondary magic.
Long Aotian mastered these two kinds of magic at the same time, which was enough to prove his strength.
Franco was actually satisfied, but out of the inferiority complex of the small mercenary group, he hesitated for a while, and finally told the truth.
"Your abilities have met our requirements, and we are happy to recruit a strong professional like you. However, the scale of the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group is relatively small, and this recruit is a temporary member, so it is ...... in terms of salary."
He blushed and gave a number.
For a long time, there have always been more people watching and fewer people asking. Even if there are those who come to ask, they are all having a good time, either he doesn't look down on others, or they don't look down on him.
Now that there is finally one who can satisfy him, and the other party seems to have that will, Franco is suddenly embarrassed to find that the treatment they give is really a bit shabby, so shabby that he feels a little embarrassed.
To his surprise, Long Aotian didn't care: "Yes, I have no problem with this treatment." So, was I hired? ”
He replied so simply that Franco felt a little unreal, and he was stunned, unable to react for a while.
Li Ruizhi watched quietly from the side, seeing that Franco didn't speak, he just thought that he didn't want to, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Don't worry, my teacher is very skilled, and he will definitely not let you down."
As he spoke, he thought to himself: If you are not satisfied with even this one, you don't have to waste your efforts, and it is impossible for you to find a favorite candidate in the entire continent.
Franco realized that he had been misunderstood, and was about to speak, when the onlookers next to him had already persuaded him.
"Hurry up and agree, this young man is a talent, but it is not easy at first glance."
- This is judging people by their appearance.
"Did you hear that, this is the young city lord's teacher. With this identity, coupled with the recommendation of the young city lord, can it be worse? ”
- This is overwhelming.
"I said, this regiment leader, you have been recruiting members here for several days, and you haven't seen any movement. Now it's a great opportunity to come to your door, and if you miss it, there will be no next time. ”
- This can be regarded as moving with emotion and knowing with reason.
Only then did Franco understand that it was the young city lord of Gaozhou City who interjected later. And the one who applied for the job was actually the teacher of the young city lord.
This one...... With such an identity, how could they deign to come to their small Spirit Fox mercenary group?
Franco couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it. Looking at the posture in front of him, if he dared to refuse, he was really not sure if he could get out of this street.
"You're welcome to join us! Meet me, I'm the leader of the Spirit Fox Mercenary Regiment, Franco. ”
"Hello Captain Franco, my name is Long Aotian." Long Aotian also introduced himself politely.
Franco continued, "Our mercenary group still has a mission to go to the Desert Kingdom. Time is tight, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning. You see......"
As the head of the regiment, Franco has always used honorifics for this new temporary member, and he is really quite jealous of his identity.
I just recruited someone here, and I have to leave immediately tomorrow, which is a bit unkind. Although there is indeed a tight time for the task in it, according to his ideas, it is best to make Long Aotian unhappy and take the initiative to give up and set off with the group.
A small temple like the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group is really difficult to accommodate a big Buddha like Long Aotian.
However, Long Aotian didn't think it was angry at all, and nodded with a smile indifferently: "It's okay, I'll come to look for you early tomorrow morning." ”
Franco smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
