During the rare recuperation period of the Sweet Fruit Chamber of Commerce, the mercenaries went to the tavern to erode all night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The week's rest period is not long, but it is not short, anyway, every day is drunk and dreaming of death, until the silence of the morning is broken by the noise outside the window.

"Really, it's been noisy since the middle of the night—"

A mercenary frowned and flipped open the quilt, only to find to his surprise that his companion was already dressed and about to go out.

"Wait, is today the day of departure, I remember there are still three days, don't you?"

He hurriedly got up and put on his pants neatly, but his partner who went out left him a sentence that made him sluggish for a long time.

"The Altai Chamber of Commerce in Strange Rock City is recruiting adventurers, you should have had enough of this life, I've decided to give it a try."

There was a bang, and in the dim room, only he was left stunned.

What nerves does the Altai Chamber of Commerce have to inexplicably recruit adventurers, do you want to form a team?

Basically, the mercenaries who serve as escorts for the Chamber of Commerce are people who are forced to bury their dreams of adventure deep in order to make a living. If the mercenary guild in Strange Rock City is still in grandeur, or if there is a place around that is worthy of mercenaries to show their skills, then they will definitely not miss that opportunity.

Now, here's your chance.

It was felt completely different from that of spirits, but the burning sensation was even more intense, coming out of the lower abdomen and reaching the brain.

He took a deep breath and looked at the mercenary armor on the table, as well as the logo of the mercenary guild, which had long been worn out, and his eyes flickered.

Strange Rock City, Altai Chamber of Commerce, morning.

Almost half of the city was crowded here, merchants, children, women, mercenaries, adventurers.

As we all know, Qiyan City has been clearing the surrounding forests decades ago, and the flow of monsters is a thing of the past, and the Altai Chamber of Commerce recruits adventurers, most likely for the exploration of unknown areas.

Although Qiyan City is a large city, it is still located on the border after all, the border area is desolate and barren, there are many unexplored areas, and so far, there are not many places that have not even been explored by the team sent by the royal family, if there is, it is definitely a very dangerous place.

Therefore, the headquarters union in the country of Astaire, such as the mercenary general association, will issue some large-scale missions to explore the area, which are generally above grade A, and due to the extreme danger, the time limit is generally decades.

The closest unexplored area to Rock City is the black swamp near the third forest, the "Hidden Jungle", located in the northern part of the forest, and you can find the dark swamp by following the intersection of the forest to the end.

It is the most dangerous and mysterious place in the neighborhood.

The Astere Mercenary Association, the border area exploration mission, the swamp of the hidden forest, because it is full of poison barriers, and there is no intelligence, it is listed as an A+ level exploration mission.

Therefore, the people only need to think for a while to think that the reason why the Altai Chamber of Commerce recruits powerful adventurers is nothing more than the benefits of exploring unknown areas.

Although it is a pure profit organization formed by civilians, if you complete the exploration mission, you can not only get the task rewards of the Mercenary Association, but also organize the territory of Astaire, and even get some privileges from the royal family - such as tax deductions for grain goods, which will definitely make a lot of money.

Compared with a certain alchemy agreement stolen by Master Lindsay, the benefits brought by this matter were several times greater, so the headquarters of the Altai Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital was also very concerned about this matter, and directly allocated a large amount of money to the middle-aged businessman.

As the news spread more and more, not only Qiyan City, but also the distant Extreme Rock City and Earth Rock City, and even the mercenaries of Taiyan City, all had a strong yearning.

The more lively people are, the more they will come to them, even if they know that things have nothing to do with them, which is why so many people gather here.

"It's strange, although the Altai Chamber of Commerce has huge financial resources, but the exploration of unknown areas should be planned for a long time, why is it so imprudent to suddenly open the message?"

In the crowd, Kira, the big man of the Mercenary Guild of Qiyan City, asked Runo beside him with some confusion.

"Exploring an unknown area is extremely dangerous, and even the royal army is not sure, if you must go, at least in terms of strength."

Runo narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said.

The actions of the Altai Chamber of Commerce were indeed very abnormal, and without even showing signs of preparation, they hurriedly gathered their team, which was very inconsistent with the cautious style of the businessmen.

"You say, could it be that they suddenly have a strong man with supreme strength?"

Kira touched her chin and joked.

"If you are strong, you should be famous, since you are unknown, you are by no means strong."

Runo sneered and said softly.

Kira couldn't help but laugh when she saw Runo's smile, and just as she was about to say something, the crowd around her suddenly moved.

They looked at each other in surprise and saw that the recruitment had begun.

On the second floor of the Altai Chamber of Commerce, Leo and Lindsay were looking through the crystal window, looking at the black crowd below.

"There are so many people."

Lindsey muttered to herself, a thrill in her heart at the thought that so many people had come for her and Leo's party.

Leo remembered the recruitment downstairs in his previous life, and it was similar to now, groups of people gathered around a few wooden tables, chattering about what they were good at and what their abilities were, but now the applicants are all kinds of mercenaries, and the judges are senior adventurers invited by the Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Leo, the Knight of Mike has arrived."

The servant of the room knocked on the door, said respectfully, and pulled Leo, who was more and more distracted the more he thought about it.

Mike's story is also interesting.

As the Light Knight Captain of Strange Rock City, he served for three years, and he has accumulated unimaginable prestige in Strange Rock City. If he is allowed to go through the process one by one like those ordinary adventurer mercenaries, then the matter of the light knight captain resigning to become a mercenary will be known to everyone, and it will even affect the prestige of the Knights of Strange Rock City.

Therefore, under the various requests of the city lord, Mike was directly arranged into Leo's team with his special identity and strong strength.

is still the tall and straight body, at this time has changed into civilian clothes, with scars on the face, the original contempt can no longer be seen, replaced by sincere respect and longing for the strong.

"It's an honor to join your team, and I hope to do my part."

As if untrained to deal with such situations, Mike was a little restrained and extended his right hand, which had only recently healed, towards Leo.

"The first priority of a good player is to obey the command."

To Michael's surprise, a small, white hand reached out to him and shook it politely on his right hand.

"By the way, I am responsible for the deployment of personnel in the team."

Lindsey smiled reservedly, looked at Mike, whose expression changed slightly, and said softly.

"Alright, Lindsay, stop making trouble."

Leo coughed helplessly, what Lindsay said was indeed true, but the deployment of personnel was actually in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, she was just a name here, but she didn't expect that this could scare the dignified light knight captain.

But Lindsay still has it in her heart and wants to help Leo suppress Mike, such selfish thoughts exist, but the way is a little immature.

"You're really not to be underestimated."

After a symbolic handshake with Leo, Mike looked at Lindsay, who pouted, and then quipped.

Maybe it meant something, but Leo didn't pay much attention to it, he was attracted to another thing.

The servant who had just come to talk to him returned, and whispered beside him: "The headquarters of the Altai Chamber of Commerce has sent some people, and I hope you and the branch president will go together to discuss it." ”

After all, the mission of exploring the unknown area is still very dangerous, and although a certain number of adventurers will be recruited in Strange Rock City, they will definitely not become the main force.

Because of the importance of the matter, the Altai Chamber of Commerce contacted the headquarters chamber of commerce in the imperial capital and succeeded in obtaining permission to send additional personnel. It is said that the two A-class mercenary groups that came this time are all good hands from the Imperial City in the center of Astaire, and they are the strongest force that the civilian Chamber of Commerce can borrow.

The A-class mercenary group "Red Rose", as well as the A-class mercenary group "Smiling Honey Sword".

It is worth mentioning here that the original mercenary group "Storm Lionheart" in Taiyan City was considered a B-level mercenary group, but the gap between A-level and B-level is like a chasm, which is a fact.

"Let's go meet our partners, we still have a lot of time to spend with in the future."

Leo stood up, facing Lindsay and McDow.

I didn't expect him to lead the team one day, but everything seemed to fall into place, and such thoughts flashed in my mind.

"Is it a mercenary from the Imperial City, it's really interesting."

Mike smiled disappreciatively, but in reality, his heart was certainly not at peace.

The three of them walked out of the room under the guidance of the servants, and walked down the red carpet leading to the council hall, where several accompanying chroniclers joined in, quietly reporting something to Leo.

The middle-aged businessman was talking to the envoy at the headquarters at this time, so it is estimated that he would not be able to attend the first formal team meeting.

He mentioned several necessary points to Leo.

First, he will send the corresponding personnel to collect useful information about the unknown area, but how to organize this information to make judgments and then act is Leo's own business.

Second, although the two A-class mercenary groups were sent to help, they were both rebellious, and the friction in the team was best resolved at this meeting.

Thirdly, this is a recent news, the merchant who went out found the trace of the skeleton in the "hidden jungle", according to the analysis, this exploration mission is likely to encounter the forces of the pagan country, please be cautious.

"If something goes wrong, even the Altai Chamber of Commerce will collapse."

"Could it be the trail of the Necronomicon?"

Leo took the documents from the scribe and muttered to himself.

It stands to reason that such an important matter will never be handed over to an outsider like him to deal with, presumably the middle-aged businessman has spent a lot of effort in negotiating with the headquarters, but why does he trust himself so much?

Maybe that's why he became the branch president, and if he thought about it, he would only sink deeper and deeper. Leo shook his head, clearing the confusion out of his thoughts, and the three of them walked out of the red carpet to the front of the council.

The door of the council hall in Taiyan City was even larger, Leo thought, looking at the chamber servants on both sides, and slowly pushed the door open.

The white light peeked through the crack in the door, and it was expected to be a fierce "battle" again.

He smiled, stepped along, and led the three of them to the door.
