The Behemoth of Ixavier Chapter 104: The Thieves of Ikran City
"Gail, look at this mission, there are a lot of tasks in this place of Ikran City! There are escort missions, bandit suppression missions, all of which are missions issued by the caravan, are there any specialties here?"
Bone said as he looked at the magical image on the mission wall.
"Young man, you just joined the Mercenary Guild, right? Ikran City is close to the Ancient Ruins Forest and the Beast God Mountain Range, so naturally there are many merchants who want to buy precious medicinal materials and magical beast materials.
Where there are caravans, there are thieves, which is an eternal truth.
I heard that there have been bandits in the vicinity of Ikeran City recently, and those robbers are hiding in the ancient ruins forest. It's really a bunch of guys who aren't afraid of death, I really don't know how they managed to escape those monsters. ”
Before Gale could answer, a bearded middle-aged mercenary beside Chi Gu suddenly answered.
"Looking at the date, it seems that this mission has been hanging here for a long time, and it has not been exterminated?
It stands to reason that the city defense army of Ikland City has not caught anyone for so long, and the Imperial City Defense Department should also send a master over? What kind of thief is it, is there any news?"
Gail saw someone talking, and hurriedly asked.
"Well...... this"
The bearded mercenary pretended to hesitate, and his eyes were fixed on the hand raised to his chest, as if he wanted to count how many hairs were on the back of his hand.
Chi Bone was waiting for the next step, and when he saw that the bearded mercenary stopped talking, he just wanted to urge, but was stopped by Gail.
Gail pulled a small bag of gold coins from his waist and threw it to the bearded mercenary without looking.
The bearded mercenary's eyes lit up, and he checked the lambskin bag in his hand, and when he heard the crisp sound of gold coins colliding, the corners of his bearded mouth rose, revealing a few yellowed rotten teeth.
With years of experience, this little sheepskin bag contained at least five gold coins. With his level, he can earn a few hundred gold coins at most for a mission. If the mission is not completed, there may be no return.
"The local city defense army can't catch those thieves at all, and many famous mercenaries are planted there.
It is said that the military department sent a few masters over, but although the number of those robbers is small, all of them are masters, and it is rumored that there are magicians. Where is this like a thief?
They are always on the outskirts of the forests of ancient ruins, and they specialize in stealing the spoils of those hunting parties.
The strong men of the military department have also come forward to encircle and suppress them several times, but when they drill into the ancient ruins and forests, no one can find them. ”
The bearded mercenary didn't expect these two young men to be so generous, but he was no longer vague, and hurriedly said.
"Why don't they rob money and loot those things? If the matter is so big, do they dare to go to the city to sell the stolen goods? Isn't it found out at a moment's notice?" Ryan asked strangely.
"It's all a bunch of unsightly guys, with their faces and heads tightly wrapped, who knows who they are?
Those caravanserais, of course, thought about it. Strangely enough, however, there seems to be no news that the looted goods have ever appeared in the city of Ikran.
It's been months, and I haven't heard of them looting villages and towns. It was as if they were consumed by those hunting teams, and they stared at them to grab them, and I really didn't know where they got their food and clothing. ”
The bearded mercenary tilted his head, also looking puzzled.
Gail winked at Snapbone and Ryan, and the three of them exited the noisy Mercenary Guild mission hall and found a corner around the street where no one was around.
"Let's go to the city of Ikran, it's not too far from the town of Sakas, and you can get there in half a day. Gail said.
"What about the mission? As you heard just now, those thieves are not easy, and I'm worried about the time...... Teacher Joseph said that let's focus on safety on this trip. Chi Gu worried.
"Don't worry, we're only going to Ikland City this time to hide the true purpose of this trip. There is no limit to the number of people who can receive this task, and after receiving the task of suppressing bandits, it is simple to say, and there will be other people involved at that time.
Besides, how can that wave of thieves be so easy to encounter, and we will set off for Giethoorn in one day, and no one will suspect anything. ”
Gale recounted his plan.
"When are we leaving tomorrow?" Ryan asked.
"I was going to leave tonight overnight. But Mr. Joseph said that he had prepared something for us tomorrow, and I don't know what it is, but it is mysterious.
Let's be tomorrow morning, we need to hurry up, I'm afraid something will happen. Gail replied.
"I'm also very worried, and I don't know if Woodlaw and the others are safe, and I really hope they can manage to save their people. ”
Chickbones were a little worried about Woodlaw and them.
"Let's go and prepare the travel materials now, so that we can go directly after meeting Mr. Joseph tomorrow.
Go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a horse first, and then go your separate ways. Ryan and I are going to buy some food and medicine for the road, and you go to the weapons store to buy yourself some equipment.
You can't use Douqi armor, I recommend that you buy a metal half-length armor so that it doesn't interfere with your activities and protects against vital points. The habit of not wearing armor is not good. ”
Gale assigned the next tasks to the next few people.
"I've wanted to buy some armor too, do you all need something? ”
Chi Gu can be regarded as a rich man this time. They don't have to worry about the cost of stealth materials, which gives them more options for buying armor.
"Captain, let me go with the bones, I have acquaintances in a weapons shop. ”
Ryan heard that Bone was going to choose armor, so he hurriedly rushed to accompany him.
"I've told you how many times, don't call me captain, it makes me uncomfortable. We don't want to do that, we just need to listen to the command when we fight. ”
I don't know how many times Gail said this to Ryan. He knew that Ryan had grown up in a mercenary group, and that kind of atmosphere with very strict superiors and subordinates made it difficult for him to change for a while.
"Got it, got it, Boss Gail, be sure to pay attention next time. Ryan plucked his ears and said.
"It's okay for you to accompany him, you are from the warrior family, you know more, help Chi Gu choose well. We will definitely encounter more battles in the future, don't be afraid to spend money.
Chi Bone, I think, since Mr. Joseph bears the cost of the secret materials, how about we take out part of the income from the last time as the team's funds?
In the future, 20% of the proceeds from each mission will be used as the team treasury. In the future, our team's supplies will come out from here, what do you think?"
Although Gail was forming a clan for the first time, he also knew that the public funds for the clan had to be established. As old members, he and Chi Gu should set an example.
"I agree, since it's a team coffer, it's necessary to add a set of armor to Ryan. This time, the income is a total of 280,000 golden tickets, which should be enough to change the three of us into a good set of equipment, right?"
Chi Gu nodded in agreement.
"I don't need it, when I ran away from home, I brought a good piece of monster leather armor from home. Fortunately, I haven't grown much over the years, and I can still use it.
My armor is worth more than two million, so let's keep those golden tickets for myself, it's really not much, hahahaha!"
Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Chi Gu's look of disbelief.
"I really can't do anything about you, don't always bully the uneducated bones, be careful that he beats you. When the time comes, don't blame me, as the captain, I can't stop it. ”
Gail spread out his hands and looked helpless.
Ryan's laughter came to an abrupt end, and the sound of a fist clenching "Kaba, Kaba" came to his ears.
"I don't have a lot of money in my hand, but I can also take out 100,000 yuan, and count it into the team's funds, I insist on doing so, so don't refuse. ”
Ryan also wants to do his part for the team.
Gail nodded, didn't refuse, smiled and patted Ryan on the shoulder.
......
Ryan and Skeleton rode from a distance and saw the weapon shop Ryan was talking about.
"Messer is a guy in the shop, he's also from AXavier, and his maternal grandfather is from Orion.
His father was sent here as a garrison more than ten years ago. He and his mother also came here to live with his grandfather, so that the family could be together often. It's a pity that his father died on the battlefield on the border ten years ago. ”
Ryan introduces Chi Bone as he walks.
"It's pathetic. Chi Bone sighed.
"This kind of thing is no longer strange, and the most pitiful thing is that he will never have a chance to avenge his father. Ryan said with a sigh.
"Why didn't he have a chance? Didn't he think about joining the army?" asked the bone.
He wanted to go, but unfortunately his grandfather was not in good health, and his mother had to stay at home to take care of him, so he had to go out to earn money. If he dies on the front line, then this family is finished. Ryan replied.
"You seem to be very indifferent, huh?"
"You'll be like me when you've been in Orion for a long time. Alas, I really don't know how long this male lion will last. ”
Ryan muttered, as if talking to himself.
......
"'House of Oak and Spear', that's where you say, isn't it?
From the front of the door, this is a small storefront, and there is a small blackboard in front of the door, which is written in white plaster: Warcraft leather armor customization.
"Oh yes, I didn't tell Messer about my origins, don't tell me about it. I don't want my news to reach my father. Ryan instructed.
"You're going to go back to him sooner or later, don't you want them?" the bone advised.
"I think about it, I think about it every day. I'll go back to see them when I'm famous. Messer has always regarded you as an idol, and if he knew who you were, he would definitely give you the biggest discount. ”
Ryan didn't want to continue the conversation anymore and changed the subject.
When the two of them walked through the door, they were greeted by a spacious hall, surrounded by swords and armor on the walls, and the silver light was very magnificent.
A young man in his early twenties at the counter was recording something, and it was the Messer Ryan was talking about.
"Ryan, it's been a long time since I've seen you here. Have you run out of knives?"
Messer was writing today's order record at the counter, and quickly put down his pen when he heard a customer enter the door. Looking up, after realizing that it was Ryan, he quickly walked out of the counter to say hello.
"Isn't this going to be busy again, and we'll talk about the knives later. Is your grandfather feeling better?" Ryan said.
"My body is not as good as it was in early spring, and I don't know if I can survive this winter. ”
Messer's voice was a little sad, although the family had a very difficult time because of the medicine he bought for his grandfather. But Messer never complained.
He always remembers that it was his grandfather who took him in when he and his mother were in their most difficult years.
Ryan was a little sad to see Messer, and he also knew that the old man was probably in a bad situation.
"How can I help? I've saved a lot of money from my previous assignments. You know my expenses are small. You see, I'm planning to take on missions again now, and I've joined the mercenary team, and it's not a trivial matter to make money. If you need help, be sure to let me know. ”
Ryan was worried that Messer wouldn't be able to save face, so he said euphemistically.
