chapter29

The four of Takales found Ullila in Fountain Square, where they stood by the pool, watching intently at the jets of water and splashes, the transparent water turning a warm orange in the light of the setting sun, as beautiful as a dance of water fairies.

Ullila pointed to the fountain and said, "I want this, can you buy it for me?" ”

Takales wiped his sweat and said, "This is not for sale, but for people to appreciate." Belch...... Of course, I can't afford to sell it. ”

Ulila said regretfully, "Okay, then when you have money in the future, can he buy it for me?" ”

Tacales said, "If I could have a tenth of Firsie's money, I'll buy it for you!" ”

With a smile on Ulila's little face, he nodded and said, "Well, I'll wait for you to have money!" ”

Ulila returned, and the five of them stopped by the hospital to see Monroe.

Monroe was helping the old man dispense the herbs, and he put each herb under his nose and sniffed it, then weighed it with a scale, and strictly distributed the different herbs according to the proportion. He repeated the same action dozens or hundreds of times, and it seemed boring to outsiders that it could make people crazy, but there was no impatience in his eyes, which showed that he really liked the profession of pharmacist.

Tacales waited for Monroe to finish his work before going to speak to him, and he said, "Hi Monroe, I want to ask you what you think about joining our mercenary group?" You see, we have experienced life and death together, so we should be good partners, although I don't know much about pharmacists, but I believe that you are very talented, the injuries we suffered in the horror forest have been much better after your treatment on the way back, our mercenary group is very short of a pharmacist, are you willing to be our pharmacist? ”

Monroe's mask-like smile froze suddenly.

After the White Lion Mercenary Group took over the mission of Mu Yuehua, Filsey asked the old man for Monroe to be their supernumerary member at the cost of fifty gold coins, of course, Filsi's ultimate goal was to let Monroe see the development prospects of the White Lion Mercenary Group in this mission, so that he could join the mercenary group. Everyone was tired and sleepy when they handed over the task, because everyone forgot about it for a while, and after recuperating their energy, Tacales needed Monroe to give them an answer - first, they were really short of people, and second, fifty gold coins were really too expensive! If these fifty gold coins can't be exchanged for Monroe's joining, then their losses will be great!

Takales spared no effort to sell his mercenary group to Monroe, he said: "You see, Amon and I are both knights, we must be able to get the qualification certificate of a third-order knight in this year's assessment, Filsi is a summoner and a magician, which is quite rare on the mainland, and he has obtained professional certificates for both professions, and you have also seen Lub's strength, as a thief, he is quite professional, he can also draw maps, and he is very good at drawing, as for Ulila, hey, I don't need to tell you how strong he is, it's our common little secret about his background. He showed a very charming smile, "You get along well with the people of our mercenary group, how about it, do you want to become our official partner?" We are all people of affection and righteousness, who can be born and die for our fellow soldiers. ”

Monroe had to say that Tacales's words could move him, these days in the Forest of Terror were extremely hard, and their lives were almost buried in that land, but when these thrilling things became a thing of the past, Monroe was also reminiscing.

The adventures of youth are a good memory worth writing for every man, who makes men always have a spirit of exploration in their blood.

Monroe privately yearns to be a mercenary, and the old man told him that being a mercenary is the fastest way to improve his professional skills, after all, when you follow a mercenary group to go south and north to manage the birth, old age, sickness and death of hundreds or even thousands of people, you must force yourself to constantly improve and improve to reduce the casualties of your companions. His dream was to become a special pharmacist, and if he was just sitting in Marion City and treating others for minor ailments, he would never be able to fulfill his dream.

Monroe said, "Well, I want to join the mercenary group, but I don't think I'm capable enough. ”

Before Takales could rejoice in his first half of the sentence and was worried about the second half of it, he asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

Monroe said, "My body is not good, and I can't help you at all when you are all trying to break the barrier. Oh, and I can't fight anymore, and if it weren't for the Monthama carrying me when I was being chased by the Grey Tree Serpent, I would have been their meal. ”

"Hey, Monroe, you can't think of that, you're a pharmacist, not a knight, a thief, or an archer," said Takales, "and it's normal for you to be in poor health...... Oh, you can't compare yourself to Filssy, even I don't know what Filsie's weaknesses are. Monroe, you're a pharmacist, all you have to do is study your herbs, treat us when we're hurting, give us advice when we're at a loss, and we'll take care of the rest! Look, if it weren't for your contemplative incense and insect repellent powder for this trip to the Terror Forest, wouldn't we all die at the first step of the mission? The members of a mercenary group are composed of seven professions, and because the people of each profession have their own duties, if we are reduced to asking you to be a pharmacist to be a fighting force, then we will not be too much of a failure. ”

Takales' expression was extraordinarily sincere, and he stared at Monroe with undisguised anticipation in his blue eyes. He is good-looking, and when he stares at you intently, even the hardest hearted person has to soften a little.

Monroe immediately couldn't hold it anymore, he smiled beggingly, and said, "Captain, don't you stare at me anymore, I have goosebumps, I promise you that you can't do it." ”

Takales said, "Have you agreed to be our pharmacist?" ”

Monroe said, "Yes, I promised to be your pharmacist, and I will use all the knowledge I have learned to keep you safe." ”

"That's great! ”

Takales hugged Monroe excitedly, he thought, Filsie's fifty gold coins were not in vain!

With Monroe in one hand and Ulila in the other, Tacales is about to rush to the Mercenary Guild, where he is going to customize mercenary badges for two new members of his team! They did not stop him, but let him go, and after seeing the three of Takales go away, Filsi said to Monthama and Lub, "We don't have to go with us." ”

"I agree with you, I just want to keep sleeping," said Monhama. ”

With his hands and arms leaning against the door frame, Lu Bu, who was cool and handsome, but was actually standing and dozing, expressed his approval with his actions, so the three of them decisively went against their own regiment commander and went back to the hotel to make up for sleep.

After the work was done and the few people had rested, it was already the next day.

Takales, Monhama, Filsi, Lub, Monroe, and Ullilah huddled in Takales' room to discuss the mercenary group.

First of all, it's about the money.

The White Lion Mercenary Group obtained a total of one hundred and ten gold coins from the Muyuehua mission, which was a lot of money for Takales and Monhama, two hillbillies who had never seen the world, and the two couldn't stop smirking at the thought of the money they were about to share.

Lubu, who had always been in charge of the finances of the team, threw the money bag into the table and said, "Except for the two gold coins for each of the six people in the second gold coin group, the remaining six of us are divided into twelve gold coins each, and the head of the regiment will contribute the most this time, and give an additional three gold coins." ”

Monthama pinched his fingers and counted, and said, "But aren't there twenty-three gold coins left?" ”

Lub said, "These twenty-three gold coins are for the tour fee." ”

Monthama asked, "What is the tour fee?" ”

"I don't know very much either. ”

Lub said, "You didn't know anything about how the mercenary group worked, so you came to set up the mercenary group?" ”

Takales and Monhama acquiesced, and Lub simply didn't want to talk to these two men who had no plans and were just doing things out of their hearts.

Lubu kept silent, and Filsi took on the responsibility of explaining, he said: "To support the activities of a mercenary group, we need to have funds, for example, this time to rent a carriage in the horror forest, the money for preparing dry food, can be deducted from the group fee in the future, you think about it, you can't have to go to the task to run a long distance and have to make up a few silver coins and a few gold coins per person, that will greatly reduce the efficiency, when there are more and more people, it is also prone to disputes." In addition, the medicinal materials purchased by the pharmacist also have to be paid for by the group, and the medicinal materials are applied to everyone, if it is all up to the pharmacist to pay for it himself, then the pharmacist will not die? In addition......"

Filsey gave seven or eight examples to support the necessity of the tour fee, and Tacales and Monthama were very convinced of him, and did not say much at the moment, but agreed with the payment of the tour fee, which was deposited in Zài Lubu.

After distributing the money, the next thing they wanted to discuss was the construction and development of the mercenary group. To strengthen a mercenary group, recruiting people is indispensable, but this time recruiting people can't be as sloppy as the first time, so that most of the recruits are crooked, they must formulate a series of standards this time, and then there are relevant assessments, and the recruiters can only become official members, of course, except for Monroe and Ulila, who are actively invited by the team. Another crucial problem is the construction of the base of the mercenary group, as the number of people in the group increases, they can't always live in the hotel, one is that the hotel is expensive, and they will not be able to afford the price if they rent it for a long time, and the other is that the hotel is not their own territory after all, no matter what they do, there will always be inconvenience.

The mercenary group base needs to meet three requirements: first, it must be large and spacious enough to accommodate more and more members; the second is not to be in a place with too many people, which will affect ordinary residents; The third is that the rent should not be too expensive, otherwise if there is no task in the regiment for a long time, then everyone will be empty. But where do you find such a place?

Monroe, the only local in the room, said, "Marion City is a very small city, surrounded by small towns or wasteland, and I can't think of any place that could be used as a base for a mercenary group. ”

"There's no need to rush this," Takales said. ”

Filsey said: "On the contrary, building a base is our top priority, a mercenary group with a base will make others feel that this mercenary group has a foundation, not a flash in the pan, and often the quality of the base can also reflect the quality of life of the mercenaries in the mercenary group, and the quality of life of the mercenaries reflects whether the mercenary group can receive tasks and earn commissions, which are all related." ”

Tacales was instructed and said: "It turns out that there is so much knowledge in the mercenary group base, but even Monroe doesn't know where there is a suitable place in Marion City, so we don't know it, so we can only find it slowly." ”

Monhama also expressed his opinion, he said: "To be honest, I don't think the mercenary group base can really help us expand our members, Taka, think about it, no one signed up when we were going to form a mercenary group, and there are not many tasks in the mercenary guild in Marion City, didn't Jim also say it, our Muyuehua mission is the latest mission, and there has been no mission in the past ten days." ”

"Well, you're right, there aren't many people in Marion City who are interested in mercenaries, it's a small city, everyone lives comfortably, and there aren't many places where mercenaries can be used. Oh, maybe we can work with Old Man Lust and take on the herb escort mission once a month on a regular basis. As he spoke, he showed a hint of helplessness, what kind of mercenary group is a mercenary group without a task?

Seeing that both Tacales and Monthama were sad, Firsey made an opinion, saying, "Then it is better for us to leave Marion City." ”

As soon as Filsie's voice fell, the other five looked at him in unison.
