"So, judging from the movements of the past few days, the group of migrating demonic beasts the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will approach Icefield City. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Matthew tapped lightly on the map he had drawn with a few scribbles on the table.

Since one or two people showed their hands in full view in the afternoon, no one dared to question it. After sorting out their things, Matthew and Barrett taught the mercenaries a lesson, and walked around the camp when they had nothing to do, and the time was pushed into the evening in a daze.

Dinner is a sturdy pancake that tastes okay, but it's hard to swallow.

Carlil felt that Barrett was about to cry when she ate it, and it must have been terrible after eating it for a long time......

And then there's the "have a little meeting" that has been said for a long time.

Several mercenary leaders, the old magician Barrett, the regiment leader Matthew himself, plus Karil and Qingci, who could not be incorporated into the formation, several people huddled together in the regiment leader's tent, chatting with the map on the table.

Kahlil wasn't really interested in this, she just wanted to wait for when she could finish it, go back to a hot shower, and go to bed. So she sat alone and bored, boredoming her big tail wagging around.

"Have you memorized the staffing? Don't make something go wrong and embarrass Lao Tzu! ”

"Got it!"

"Understood, Commander"

A group of people discussed for a long time, during which Kaliel didn't listen to a word, but Qing Xi mixed in a few words with great interest. In the end, Captain Matthew and Barrett settled everything, and at the end, Matthew burst out with a foul accent, and waved his hand to call the group of mercenaries out.

"What a nuisance," Barrett let out a sigh of relief, hammered his back, and left the map, slowly sitting down in the chair next to Kaliel.

"Hopefully nothing will happen then," Matthew said worriedly, and then touched the stubble on his face.

"Do you need to worry so much," Barrett didn't really care about that, "those bastards are capable of something, and you Grand Master don't know what they are capable of. ”

"Okay," Matthew sighed, "I hope so."

Maybe they all felt that something was wrong with the captain's words, but Carlil and Barrett, who were sitting next to them, Qing Ci, who was still standing calmly, and Matthew himself, who was leaning on the chair, everyone quieted down at once.

Compared to the noise in the discussion, the tent was suddenly eerily quiet.

Until the silence was broken by a question.

"Now you can tell me, what are your plans for calling us here?" Carlil finally couldn't wait any longer, and took the initiative to say, "You are very powerful, whether it is personal strength or discipline when you are in business, of course, the battle plan is also professional-level, to put it bluntly, there is no need for us two outsiders to come in." ”

"Thanks for the compliment, Miss Carlil," Matthew smiled, "and indeed I called you here in the evening because of some other matter. ”

Matthew sat up straight, his hands folded on the table, and paused as if he were adjusting himself.

Then the somewhat rough regiment commander in Kaliel's eyes became a sophisticated uncle image.

"Ahem, what's that" Matthew coughed awkwardly, "Oh, yes, Qingci, as for what I said in the afternoon, did Your Excellency mean to come to our mercenary group for a long time?" As I said before, we are willing to pay six times as much. ”

"You said five times before," Kiyoshi couldn't help but grin.

"Really? Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't in a good state of mind at the time, and I think Your Excellency can understand."

"Of course"

Qing Xi nodded, of course he understood.

"Five times or six times...... Six times is fine, if you want, whatever you want, not less than this double. ”

Matthew was very generous in this regard, which made Carlil wonder how much Matthew had hired the Qing Priest to help them out.

"The price you offer is indeed very good" Qing Ci looked at Matthew with a very sincere smile on his face, and shook his head with some regret, "But I'm sorry, I have no plans to work as a mercenary for a long time for the time being." ”

"Don't think about it anymore? If there's any trouble, maybe we can make a new deal."

Matthew was slightly regretful, it was really just a slight smile, this result was not at all unexpected to him, looking at the appearance of that strange Oriental person, he didn't feel like he could be won over casually.

What's more, he has superb swordsmanship...... Although the sword is a little strange.

"I'm sorry" After thinking about it for a while, Qing Ci still refused the invitation of the head of the regiment, "I just want to walk around now, and I will leave here when I get this commission"

"Well, it's a pity" Matthew thought about it, and there was nothing he could do, "If you change your mind, you can come to our group at any time, and you can send me an email in any mercenary guild." ”

"Okay" is a small thing.

Although it is unlikely, it can be regarded as a hope, if this strange Oriental wants to join the mercenary group one day, at least it will be much more convenient to pull him into the group at that time.

"As for the ......two of you who chatted during the afternoon competition," Matthew said again, turning to Caryl and Barrett in a different tone.

So a certain fox girl and the old mage began to look at the top of the tent together, with an expression of ahhaha, the sun is really round tonight, trying to fool the past.

“…… Don't squander your magic these days, rest well, take care of my state, and don't drop the chain at critical moments"

Matthew rubbed his temples helplessly, he really couldn't do anything about this two magicians who were small enough to be his daughter, a young enough to be his own daughter, and a round older than him.

"So, Miss Carlil, I think you can join us, I wonder what you think?" After saying a nonsense that was considered concerning, Matthew had no choice but to ask honestly.

"What about the pay?" Karil's rhetorical question was very crisp.

Although it was a little surprising, it made Matthew feel hopeful, and it would be much easier to talk about the pay.

"Actually, I haven't asked Barrett how much he promised you, but I think it should be okay to give you three or four times the monthly salary for this mission, of course, or you can ask for other amounts that you think are reasonable."

Matthew said that he tried to make his expression as kind as possible in the face of this little girl, and in fact he did it very successfully.

"Oh, that sounds good" Karil shook her fox ears with a little amusement, but Matthew didn't have time to be happy when he heard two more words pop out of Kalyl's mouth.

"But ......"

Matthew felt his heart suddenly go cold.

"Actually, I can't stay in Icefield City for too long, and I can't join your mercenary group" In fact, Karil really thinks that it is not bad to mix up a salary here, and she will have a good life as a magician, but now is not the time to join any mercenary group.

There are still a number of people looking for her all over the ground behind her, and if she doesn't leave within a week, it is estimated that she will be directly surrounded by the Andris family who came to her senses and taken away in a wave in Icefield City.

"You can't...... Tsk, forget it"

Matthew wanted to work hard, but when he saw Carlil's ears and tail, and thought of the unusual feeling she gave people, Matthew subconsciously felt that maybe he could avoid a lot of trouble by not pulling her in.

"It's really disappointing"

He couldn't help it, and tapped his fingers on the map in a bit of frustration.

"Another ......"

"What else?" Kahlil asked directly.

"Ahem......" Matthew smiled.

"Barrett, Carlil, uh-huh...... Qing Xi, the following is a separate arrangement for the three of you. ”

Matthew stood up and glanced at the three of them solemnly: "...... It's still too troublesome to say, so you don't have to worry about all the unified arrangements made before, and gather here before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, so be it! ”

Kahlil and Kiyoshi glanced at each other, and Kahlil looked at Barrett, and in the end, none of the three of them knew what Matthew was going to do.

"What is this going to do?" Barrett asked anyway.

"Don't ask, just come, you'll know tomorrow"

Matthew really didn't want to explain.

All right.

"Okay"

"Knowledge"

"Understood"

"Then let's all go back first, don't ask anything, don't say anything, disband"

Matthew let out a long sigh and threw himself in his chair at once.

It was hard to say anything, so the three of them had to leave the tent silently.

Karil was the last to step out of it, the cold wind of the night making her feel uncomfortable when she returned from the warm tent to the cold outside.

She lifted the curtain of the tent and glanced at Matthew leaning back in his chair for the last time, as if the other party was already thinking about something, and didn't care about her at all.

Putting down the curtain, Carlil hurried a few steps to catch up with Qing Xi and Barrett, and stopped and asked Barrett curiously, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"I don't know" Barrett thought about it, and could only shake his head in confusion, "The head of the regiment is quite normal this time, and I don't know what happened to him all of a sudden"

I don't know?

The three of them were a little silent.

"Have you ever taken on a mission from Icefield before? Or will you accept this Icefield City migration mission, is it normal in your experience? Qing Ci suddenly asked.

"Yes, this mission...... There's no problem, at most, you might be able to get a higher reward by choosing something else at that time, and the defense of Icefield City just didn't give that much. ”

"Okay," Kiyoshi nodded.

"Come on, let's all go back" Barrett waved his hand, "Don't think about it, you'll know tomorrow, it's not too early today, you guys should go back first, you must all have hotels in Icefield City, so you don't have to sleep in tents"

"Alright then, you're right" Kahlil and Kiyoji exchanged glances, both agreeing with Barrett.

"My old man's legs and feet are not very good, I won't send you back on a cold day, this is not far from the city, there is nothing wrong with the two of you, right?"

Barrett stroked his beard and began to speak like an old man who cared about his juniors.

"Of course not," Karil nodded earnestly.

"Then we'll take our leave," Kiyoshi continued.

"Alright, let's break up, don't forget tomorrow morning."

Barrett said that he looked at the Qing Rite and felt that he really had nothing to worry about, so he simply turned around and walked slowly towards the depths of the camp.

"Then let's go too—where do you live?"

Kahlil stretched out and asked at Kiyo.
