Takales grabbed Filsie's waist with lightning speed, dragging him out of the infirmary before Filsie could react.
Takares lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy?!" Fifty gold coins is half of our commission! What's more, our commission hasn't arrived yet, so where are the fifty gold coins? Besides, that Monroe is thin and weak, and he doesn't look like he can fight, what are you doing with him joining the team, isn't the second gold coin group enough to hold back? ”
"The fifty gold coins are paid by me personally, not deducted from the commission," Filsi said. In addition, Monroe is an apprentice pharmacist, according to my observation, he is a proud disciple of the old man, so he will be able to become a pharmacist sooner or later, isn't there a shortage of pharmacists in our mercenary group? With the pharmacist, everyone will have no worries about killing on the battlefield in the future, of course, this is a long-term plan, let's just say that the Mu Yuehua task is close at hand, although the old man explained to us the knowledge of Mu Yuehua, but can you guarantee that we can really identify Mu Yuehua by ourselves, can we master the correct time to pick Mu Yuehua? We can't do it, but Monroe can do it, he's very familiar with medicine and herbal medicine, and with him, our task will be much smoother. ”
Filsey was so reasonable, that Tacales couldn't refute a word, so he had to agree.
"Well, you're right, we need a pharmacist, but fifty gold coins is too expensive, and we haven't seen what Monroe is capable of, what if he's an embroidered pillow?" ”
"Fifty gold coins is nothing to me," Filsey said. ”
"Yes," said Takales, "you are a rich man, but I will not let you give this money." I am the leader of the mercenary group, and the operation of the mercenary group and the recruitment of members are my responsibility, and I have no reason to take advantage of you. You've done so much for the mercenary group, and I can't let you break the bank for us anymore. ”
Tackales' starting point was for the good of Filsi, and he always felt that he owed Filsi a lot. First of all, without Filsie's money policy, this mercenary group would not have been formed for a while; Secondly, after the establishment of the mercenary group, Filsi ran up and down for the affairs of the regiment, and he was no more idle than him as the head of the regiment; In the end, it was Filthy who came out of the palace to solve their crisis. Combining all of the above, Takales didn't want to owe Filsie any more favors, he wouldn't be able to pay it back.
Takales thought that he had said this beautifully, but he didn't want Filsey to sink his face and have an angry look on his face, and he almost questioned Takares, he said, "Am I a member of the mercenary group?" ”
"Of course, you are an important member of us. ”
Filsie said: "Since I am a member of the mercenary group, every penny I spend on the mercenary group is my willingness, not what you call a broken fee!" If you have to say that, it means you don't think of me as your member! ”
Tacales said, "That's not what I meant! ”
Filsie said: "Captain, although you have a face that I like very much, this does not mean that you have absolute immunity, and I will beat you when I want to!" For now, you're no match for me, don't force me to beat you! ”
Tackales misses me at all and asks, "Why are you beating me?" ”
Filsey said, "Because you owe a beating!" ”
Takares: "......" He received such an assessment for the first time.
Takales never figured out where he had provoked Philsie, and Filsie didn't bother to talk nonsense with Takales. As soon as he returned to the hospital, he took out fifty gold coins and recounted his request.
The old man accepted the gold coin, but did not speak, but looked at Monroe and asked him to make his own decision.
Filsey said to Monroe: "Monroe, I want to invite you to join our mercenary group, of course, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry, you can reply to us after this mission is completed." ”
Monroe smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you on this mission." ”
There is no moon flower in Marion City, and according to Monroe's research, the nearest moon flower growing point is in the woods a hundred miles north after the city gate of Marion City, and there is a cliff in the woods, according to the book, where the moon flower has grown.
Monhama said worriedly: "How many years ago was that, could someone have already taken the Muyue flower away, after all, it is so valuable." ”
Monroe said, "No, Marion City is small, and there are even fewer people who understand the value of the moonflower, and that woods are ...... Well, it's easy to get in and hard to get out, and generally no one goes there, and the moon flower is a three-year cycle, even if the person who recorded the flower plucks the flower, the new flower should grow, but I can't say for sure, it's mainly to try luck. ”
"For a hundred gold coins," said Takales, "we will try our luck for a hundred gold coins, so let's set out tomorrow." ”
It was already nightfall when they left the Chengxi Medical Center again, and instead of returning to the hotel, the four of Tacales went to the grocery store and bakery to buy the supplies they needed for the past ten days.
Takales and Filsey in a group, Monhama and Lub in a group.
Takales yawned, so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he was the most helpful and most injured in the team during the first battle in the south of the city, but he didn't have a good rest after that, and he couldn't hold on all the way, even the iron people couldn't hold on.
Takales bought flint and rope for the fire, which he would use on the journey, and added bits and pieces of other things, which he reconciled with Filsi when he returned to the inn and Monthama.
"Let's rent a carriage tomorrow," said Filsie. ”
"The carriage is so expensive," said Tacalas, "that the cheapest carriage rental is ten silver coins a day, and ten days it is one gold coin." We had ten people, oh, plus Monroe had eleven people, and a carriage could hold up to four people, so we would have to rent three carriages, which would be a waste. ”
Filsey said: "Captain, I have a mention, and the six of them don't have to follow us to do the task of Mu Yuehua." Don't be busy denying it first, I'll analyze the pros and cons with you. The six Huck members joined the mercenary group for the two gold coins we promised, and they didn't have any talent themselves, nor did they have the courage and self-confidence required by mercenaries, and they fully interpreted the three words of delay in the herbal mission, and with them, our trip would be greatly slowed down. You have to understand that the Mu Yuehua task pays high and is also very difficult, and in order to have the highest efficiency, we must choose the most elite people in the team and discard the people who are not useful. He analyzed from the perspective of the task and then from the perspective of money, "Ten gold coins are a four-person carriage, twenty gold coins are a five-person carriage, and the five of us rent a carriage for ten days and go back for two gold coins, which is also a lot more cost-effective." ”
Takales discovered that when he Firsey argued about something, he was always on the losing side, because Firsey had so many reasons, and all of them were so plausible that he couldn't even figure out a single mistake.
Tacales said in a tangled voice: "I understand what you said, but it's not good, the second gold coin group is also a member of the mercenary group, and it would be too disrespectful not to let him participate in the mission." ”
"Don't worry," said Filsie, "they'll be happy, and they'll probably be buying wine to celebrate after we're gone." ”
Tacales: "......"
Monhama and Lububita Kales went back to the inn first, and they bought two large bags of dry food, both of which were light and easy to keep, and at this time the two of them were explaining the mission of Mu Yuehua to the two gold coin groups. Led by Huck, the more the six of them listened, the more ugly their faces became, and Ryan was even about to faint.
Monthama didn't know why, and asked, "Why are you so afraid?" ”
Rhodes wiped his arms wildly, trying to smooth out the hairs that stood on end, and said, "You have never heard of the horror of that wood, but we locals have grown up listening to the stories of that woods!" ”
The woods north of Marion City, known as the Forest of Terror.
The area of the horror forest is very large, and no one has ever been able to walk from one end of the horror forest to the other, which makes many people wonder if this forest really has an end.
The Forest of Terror is called the Forest of Terror because every tree in the forest has a hideous face, yes, all of them have human faces! They either wail in pain, or scream in despair, or roar angrily, as if they are restoring a person's joys, sorrows, and sorrows! Of course, the horror of the horror forest does not lie in the faces of the human face trees, but in the fact that these trees will transmit the emotions expressed on their respective faces to humans, that is, when a person arrives in the horror forest, his emotions are no longer under his control, he will suddenly rage, he will suddenly cry, he will suddenly laugh...... Great joy after great sorrow, great anger after great joy, a variety of extreme emotions change in an instant, which will make people's hearts stir, and the fragile person will die suddenly as soon as he can't bear it! There is a saying that the face of a person on every tree in the Forest of Terror is the expression of a person who strayed into the forest when he died! That is, every tree in the Forest of Terror represents a dead person!
Rhodes said: "There are many fierce beasts in the horror, they have a strong attack power, very unfriendly to humans, I know an experienced hunter said that he was going to the horror forest to fight back two beasts, this time there was no news for a month, and then someone went to the horror forest to look for him, those people said that they saw a human face tree near the entrance of the horror forest that looked very similar to the hunter!" He trembled as if the death of a hunter was playing out before his eyes, "The face was so horrible, so desperate that one could hear the cry, his mouth open at an incredible angle, his ......"
Before Rod could finish his words, Ryan, the boldest on the team, was retching.
Takales and the others didn't know about the situation of the Terror Forest beforehand, they just thought it was an ordinary forest with small animals, but they didn't want it to be such a sinister place, and for a while, the faces of the four of them had a heavy look.
