chapter2

Takales lay on his large bed, his hands folded behind his head, his right leg resting on the knee of his left leg, looking up at the starry sky through the large hole in the roof.

In the morning, when he and Monhama left Toby's restaurant, neither of them spoke much, and wandered outside all afternoon without receiving any commission, and only parted in a state at sunset.

Both of them have things hidden in their hearts, anticipation and confusion about the future, and they have to spend a night thinking about it.

Takales is looking forward to adventure in his bones, his favorite books are "The Mercenary's Campaign", "The Mercenary's Life", "The Mercenary's Story" and other mercenary-related books, no matter which book, the mercenaries are brave and fearless, they use their lives and blood to complete the tasks entrusted by others, their lives are so exciting and wonderful, every day is different. In addition, mercenaries are absolutely free, the moment you become a mercenary, you no longer belong to the jurisdiction of the country, you can rely on the mercenary card to travel around the country to meet different people, take different tasks, and those large mercenary groups at the top of the pyramid, they can even directly affect the stability and prosperity of a country!

Takales leapt out of bed, slipped under the bed, and dragged out a box full of mercenary books he had collected over the years.

Takales opened one of them, and on the title page of this one was inscribed the mercenary's manifesto, "We are mercenaries, we love adventure, we love money, we chase freedom, we bathe in victory!" We are the sharpest sword, we are the fastest sword, we believe in strength, we rely on ourselves! We show no mercy to our enemies, and we go to war for our friends! We will never betray, we will never forsake us, we are proud mercenaries! ”

Tacales read the manifesto word for word, and he read it with enthusiasm and pride, and he thought that he must become a mercenary! This is the value that a man should have!

Ignoring the darkness of the night, Takales put on his cloak and went to find Monthama.

Monhama's home was next door to Tacales' house, and over the high wall in the courtyard, Tacales reached a friend's house.

Takales jumped up to the second floor of Monhama's house and went straight to the other man's bedroom, where he saw Monhama holding his cheeks at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tall and burly, like a sturdy brown bear, Monhama was indescribably funny in his feminine movements.

Tacales asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I wonder if I want to be a mercenary," said Monhama. He sighed and said, "Taka, according to Uncle Toby, as the mercenary is about to leave Yorktown, think about it, who will help Mrs. Martha catch the cat after we are gone?" Who's going to listen to Uncle Toby's story? Who's going to help Kitty carry the heavy loads? ”

Takales said narrowly, "Kitty is the point." ”

Monthama's black cheeks were stained with an imperceptible redness, and he said, "Kitty is a good girl, and she is beautiful. Well, none of us in Yorktown are prettier compared to you, but you're a man, so I won't compare you to you. ”

"Outside Yorktown, there will be girls who are prettier than Kitty," Tacales said. ”

Monthama said, "No matter how beautiful a girl is, it's not Kitty." ”

Kitty is Toby's daughter, seventeen years old this year, unlike the hideous Toby, she is petite and cute, cheerful and lively, and is very popular with boys. Many boys of the right age in Yorktown were playing Kitty's idea, and Monhama was one of the suitors. There are often bold boys who pretend to go to Toby's restaurant for dinner and want to have a date with Kitty, but Toby can't even look down on these boys who have never seen the world, and viciously drives them away.

"Taka, I bet Kitty has a crush on me, and in another year, when she turns eighteen, I'll want to propose to her," said Monthama. If I leave Yorktown now, Kitty will forget about me, because there are so many boys around her. ”

Tacales asked, "But what are you going to propose?" ”

Monhama was stunned.

Tacales and Monthama are both poor, and their savings together can't make up two gold coins, but Kitty, on the other hand, is a rich lady in this little Yorktown, after all, Toby's restaurant business is very good, and her family is not short of money.

"Wouldn't you go and propose to Kitty for fifty pieces of silver?" You can't even buy a good leather jacket for such a small amount of money, and Uncle Toby won't agree to marry his precious daughter to you. ”

Monhama had never thought of this level, and he asked at a loss, "Then what should I do?" I don't want to give Kitty to someone else. ”

"All you have to do is make enough money, buy good jewelry and dresses, and propose in style," Takales said. ”

Monhama clenched his right fist and pounded it on the palm of his left hand, "Mercenary! ”

"Yes," said Tacales, "we will be rich as mercenaries." ”

There are three levels of mercenary groups: small mercenary groups, medium mercenary groups, and large mercenary groups. The larger the scale, the more famous the mercenary group will be paid. If Takales and Monhama want to build their own mercenary group, they must start with a small mercenary group and upgrade step by step, but the base price of the small mercenary group alone is ten gold coins, and the number limit of a small mercenary group is ten to one hundred, if they only have ten members, each person can get one gold coin for completing a D-level small mission! Of course, as the number of people increases, the difficulty of the tasks will increase, and correspondingly, the rewards will also increase!

"Kitty will not be eighteen years old in another year," said Tacales, "and instead of wasting this year in Yorktown, let's go out and break in, and if you become a mercenary, you will be able to save enough money for the dowry, and Uncle Toka's preferred son-in-law must be a strong man with experience, and he will never oppose you then!" ”

After two minutes he slammed the table so hard that it tilted to the side and almost fell to the ground, when he hastily caught the candlestick and said, "Taka, you are right! Kitty said that the man she liked was like her father, brave and fearless, and if I were a mercenary, she would like me with all her heart! ”

"Great," said Takales, "let's go as far as we can!" I can't wait to become a mercenary! ”

Three days later, Takales and Monhama embarked on their journey. On the day of their departure, more than half of the people in Yorktown had come to see them off, and Mrs. Martha and Uncle Toby sent them many words of blessing and raised five gold coins for their journey, much to the embarrassment of Tacales and Monthama.

Monhama searched the crowd for Kitty's slender figure, said hello to Tacales, and walked towards Kitty.

They were relatively silent, both with their heads down, their faces flushed, and sometimes they looked up at each other, and if their eyes met and they quickly turned their heads, they were obviously a happy little couple.

"Well, well, Kitty, I'll be back next year," said Monthama. ”

Kitty ran her fingers through the ends of her braided hair, nodded, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Hmm." ”

Monhama smiled and swore with white teeth, "I will make a name for myself!" And then...... I...... I'll propose to Uncle Toka, you...... You'll have to wait for me! ”

As soon as Monhama said this, Kitty's face became a ripe red apple, and her voice became quieter, and she said, "I'll wait for you!" ”

"All right," said Monthama, "when I return!" ”

On this side, Monhama and Kitty were talking about their love before parting, and Takales was surrounded by women.

Women of all ages, little sisters in their teens, young girls in their twenties, young women in their thirties, aunts in their forties and fifties, grandmothers in their sixties and seventies, they all rushed to Tacales, and spoke actively, wishing him peace and success, and they could not hear what they were talking about.

Tacales' ears were full of "buzzing", and the whole person was going to faint, he was also tall among men, two or three circles bigger than the delicate women, but surrounded by many women, he had the illusion that he was as small as an ant. Takales was almost overwhelmed in the crowd, and he couldn't push people away, because wherever he pushed, he touched the woman's soft flesh, which made him creepy. In the midst of this chaos, many women took the opportunity to do something to Tacales, who had to protect his chest and buttocks like a woman from a good family who was being molested, and even clamped his legs to protect his little brother.

In desperation, Tacales begged his friend for help, but Monhama and Kitty had a good conversation, and he didn't remember his best friend at all.

So, when Monhama and Kitty finished talking, and when it was too late for the two to leave, it was understandable that Takales had a disheveled hairstyle and disheveled clothes, and he looked like a bear who had been raped.

The two waved goodbye to the people who came to see them off again, bumped fists once, and walked on their own path without hesitation.

At that time, they didn't know how much storm their mercenary group would set off on this road in the future, and what a brilliant achievement it would be!
