Chapter 16
chapter16
The story of the old man and the fierce old man is not very exciting, and in general, the two brothers have different concepts and go their separate ways. The two of them were born in a middle-class family, and their lives are more than enough. Because both brothers have the talent to be pharmacists, their parents also sent them to the hospital to study. When the two grew up, they both learned and got their pharmacist qualifications, and then they opened a medical clinic together, which is the one in the west of the city.
It is rare for a hospital to have two pharmacists, but the city of Marion is such a large medical center, so there is an endless stream of people who come to see a doctor from morning to night every day. At that time, there was no revolt among the paupers in Marion, and although the people of the three classes looked down on each other, they did not reach the point where they would shout and kill when they met, and they could barely get along, so there were all the people who came to see the doctor.
The old man was not so beautiful when he was young, and he was very easy-going, and others loved to see him, but the fierce old man was always so fierce, and he was very unhappy with the nobles, so he saw more poor people who did not need to pay attention to smile service.
The fierce old man has had a lot of contact with the poor, and has heard of the sufferings of many people, he is fierce on the outside, but he is surprisingly soft on the inside, and has a heart of compassion and kindness to the poor. After the uprising broke out, all the poor people were driven to the south of the city, guarded by the city lord's guard, and could no longer set foot in the outside world. In that poor and degraded street, there was no medical center, no medicine, and people died every day in the torment of illness, and later, a poor man who had been treated by a fierce old man ran away to find him, cried to him, and begged him to save his parents, and the fierce old man immediately agreed. He followed the people into the south of the city, and saw the miserable conditions of the poor, and he thought, the people here need pharmacists! Soon after, he moved out of the Chengxi Medical Center and built a new medical center in the south of the city, which was so dilapidated that it seemed to collapse at any moment.
The old man said: "He has been in the south of the city for more than ten years, in the early years, the people in the south of the city did not want to go out of the slum street at all, in the past few years, the policy has been loosened, but it is difficult to come out once." But you also went to the shabby place in the south of the city, and there was no grass to grow, not to mention that there would be medicinal materials to heal wounds and diseases. Every month he would make a list for me, and I would prepare the herbs he wanted for him. The people who went to deliver the medicinal materials before were all safe, although they were blackmailed for some money, they were not injured, but in the past few months, the south of the city has changed its leader, that is, the cheetah, he is very hostile to the people outside, no matter who it is, as soon as you step into the territory of the south of the city, don't think you can get out of him, my apprentice was injured several times, and the medicine was not delivered, so I hired you. β
"Oh, the cheetah and his accomplices were beaten by us," said Takales. β
The old man said: "You also have some skills, my apprentices all say that those people are very powerful, and they are all rampant and domineering in the south of the city." β
"They probably won't even be able to get out of bed in a short period of time," Takales said. β
The old man said, "That's good." β
After listening to the old man's story, Tacales and his party arrived at the Mercenary Guild, and after Jim, the publisher, confirmed the signature on their mission card, he gave them the commission - a full ten gold coins!
Ten gold coins is the minimum amount of commission for a small mercenary group, which is really not much, and each of the ten people in the group can get one, but they still can't suppress their excitement, this is the first commission they have received! As long as they can make a name for themselves, then they will definitely make more and more money!
"Small mercenary groups can take on D-level and C-level missions, the commission for D-level missions ranges from 10 to 100 gold coins, and C-level missions are 100 to 300 gold coins, if we can maintain a lineup of ten people to take on a C-level mission, each person can get at least ten gold coins, then we will be rich!" β
Tacales looked forward to the future beautifully, but Filsi poured a basin of cold water on his head, Filsi said: "C-level tasks will be given priority to medium-sized mercenary groups, even if they are not given to medium-sized mercenary groups, it is also for small mercenary groups that are close to the size of medium-sized mercenary groups or have great fame and praise, and mercenary groups with only ten people will basically not be considered." β
"Well, you're right, I'm just thinking about it," Takalas said. β
Tacalas immediately handed out the gold to the people present, and asked Jim if there was a new assignment to take on.
Jim flipped through the task booklet, shook the cigarette gun, and said, "No, in the past few days, there has been a task of escorting herbs and searching for the lost famous dog, one of you has taken it, and one of the Eagle Mercenary Corps has taken it, and there is no other mission." β
Takales said disappointedly, "Then there is a new mission, can you inform me first?" β
Jim said, "Why? β
Takales said, "I am better looking than Faflan!" He leaned over the counter, close enough to Jim so he could get a closer look at his perfect face.
Jim looked at Takales, and then recalled Favran, and was immediately convinced, saying, "I will reserve a good task for you first." β
"Thank you so much!" said Takales. β
After finishing the matter, Takales and his party were about to go back to the hotel, the trip to the south of the city was quite a toss-up, several people also fought, more or less tired, they all wanted to sleep well, but they only stepped out of the mercenary guild on the front foot, and one person entered the guild on the back foot.
This man was familiar, he was dressed in a custom-made suit, and he wore a bracelet encrusted with fine gemstones, and he looked like a rich manβwasn't this the same man they met when they went to the city's medical center!
As soon as Star entered the Mercenary Guild, he said to Jim proudly, "I'll give you a hundred gold coins, and you can find the best mercenary group in Marion City!" β
Marion City is such a small place, there are not many tasks, and some are mostly trivial, and it is rare for the employer to pay a commission to support the death of fifty gold coins, and this person will pay a hundred gold coins as soon as he comes, which has to be said to be a big deal! You must know that when an employer hires a mercenary group with the mercenary guild, in addition to the mercenary money given to the mercenary group, the guild will also have to pay 10% of the service fee, which means that for a task of 100 gold coins, the guild can earn 10 gold coins!
Jim laughed and said, "What mission do you want to delegate?" I promise to assign you the best mercenary group. β
Star said, "I'm looking for Muyuehua!" β
Takales couldn't move as soon as they heard Star's price, and they listened to the conversation between Jim and Star, and rushed to Star's front with an arrow, and volunteered: "This gentleman, we are the best mercenary group in Marion City, you can rest assured that you can leave the task to us!" β
Star turned his bracelet and said, "Oh, I have a little impression of you, you are the ones who have been to the Chengxi Medical Center?" βγ
"Yes, yes, we just completed the escort mission of the Josai Medical Center!" β
"I don't see you being the best mercenary group," said Star, "but ......" He paused for a long time, and Takales waited with bated breath for what he could say, "You are very pleasing to the eye, and if you promise to complete the task within ten days, I will consider giving it to you." β
Takales hurriedly said: "No problem, we will definitely offer Mu Yuehua with both hands within ten days!" β
Star said: "Don't talk too much, you have also heard what Monroe of the Chengxi Medical Center said, Muyuehua is difficult to find, I urgently need Muyuehua, so I can only give you ten days at most, if you don't return to Marion City within ten days, I will give the task to other mercenary groups." β
Jim said, "Well, that's okay. He explained to the people of the White Lion Mercenary Group, "If you don't complete the task within the number of days set by the employer, it will be regarded as a mission failure, you will not get any remuneration, and there will be an additional bad review on the mission record, I advise you to think about it before you come." β
"Don't think about it, we take it!" β
Under the active efforts of Takales, the task of "finding Mu Yuehua" fell to the head of the White Lion Mercenary Group, and the countdown of the mission days began the next day, which means that they have no time to rest and adjust - because no one in their group knows anything about Mu Yuehua, how can they find a flower that they don't even know what it looks like? So, the group returned to the Chengxi Medical Center and went to ask the old man for advice.
The old man did not hesitate to give advice, and asked Monroe to pick out one of his many medical books, turn to the chapter describing Mu Yuehua, and explain it to everyone.
Muyue flower is a flower with high medicinal value, its petals can detoxify a hundred kinds of poisons, the flower stem is ground into powder and soaked in water to drink can cure a hundred kinds of diseases, and the flowers and leaves can make people ten years younger overnight, in short, every part of this flower has a huge effect. Because Muyue flowers are not easy to grow, not easy to pick, and not easy to preserve, they are rarely circulated in the market, and more are auctioned at auctions.
The old man said: "The moonflower is not a group, they all occupy a cliff alone, bathe in the moonlight and bloom, you must pluck it when it blooms, and put it in a sealed box, otherwise it will die quickly." He stroked his beard and said, "If you can really find Mu Yuehua, then Star will make a lot of money, and the reserve price of a Mu Yuehua at auction is five hundred gold coins, which is equivalent to buying an item of five hundred gold coins with one hundred gold coins, profiteer." β
Monhama drooled when he heard this, and he said, "If we don't give it to Star to buy it after we find the moonflower...... Tut-tut, then we'll earn! β
Takales said solemnly, "Amon, how can you have such an idea? We are a mercenary group, all we have to do is to complete the tasks assigned to us by our employers, and we can't go to the employers. β
"That's five hundred gold coins," said Mohama. β
Tackales put his hand on his forehead and said bitterly, "I know, but my work ethic makes it impossible for me to do that!" Believe me, trust us, we're going to have a day of counting gold coins and cramping our hands! β
Monhama wiped his saliva and said, "Well, we're going to make money on our own!" β
"Yes," said Tacales, "that's right. β
When Tacales and Monhama were caught up in the illusion that they would become rich men in the future, Filsi made a request to the old man, saying, "I hope to let Monroe go with us to find Muyuehua, and I am willing to pay fifty gold coins for the inconvenience and damage caused to the hospital by Monroe during the ten days since he left the hospital." β
Takales and Monhama moved their ears at the same time and shouted, "What? Fifty gold coins?! β
