40. Chapter 40

Rubbing his swollen temples, Angelo sorted out the things in the book, a miracle that appeared before the founding of the country, a private treasure trove that is not bursting out of rare treasures, and it is indeed a country blessed by the god of thunder, over the years, Xinlu can keep the miracle and secretly develop without being too hot, think about the battle that made Xinlu become the Second Empire back then is also in their calculations, after all, there is a marshal as a trophy, and those poor engulfed little principalities are not wronged.

Over the years, Sinlu has paid more than he has received for the Valley of Falling Thunder, but the kings of Sinlu have always believed that as long as they can break this seal, the treasure in this cave will bring them earth-shaking changes.

After all, there's a god in there. Angelo saw a book that said that a king had sworn that if someone could help his country open the cave of the gods, he would change the name of the empire to that person's surname. This sentence is equivalent to a promise to the person who opened the seal to pour the power of the country, but unfortunately, the king has this confident oath because he is also confident that no one can open the seal.

As for the magicians who put their heart and soul into this cave and those who sacrificed with their blood, there were only a few records in the book, but it was enough to fill several books.

There was a voice in his ears, Angelo lay down on the book, let the books around him return to their places one by one, took out a bottle of refreshing medicine, pinched the prime minister's cheek and poured it, from the state of the prime minister Angelo could see that he had been taking the refreshing medicine for more than a day, so he didn't have to worry about the taste of the medicine to arouse his suspicions.

However, because the prime minister himself was exhausted to the extreme, the reaction speed of this medicine was not as fast as that of anesthetic. Angelo got up from the pile of books, "All the books here are about their research into that cave. Is there anything else you need to know? ”

"That's enough to know, come back, baby." Benedict smiled and toasted to Beavis, who knew about it on his side.

Angelo clenched the pendant around his neck and appeared exactly next to Benedict. The puppet was standing quietly pecking juice, as if sensing Angelo's breath, the puppet spontaneously walked in this direction, Angelo adjusted his position, the moment the puppet coincided with him, there were only three people's breath left in the hall.

Continuing in the same direction, Angelo leaned over to Benedict and whispered, "It's time for us to go, they're still waiting." ”

It was a whisper, but everyone in the hall heard it clearly, and Beavis's eyes rolled, knowing that the two were just bluffing, but they didn't know which way they had encountered, which was a pity.

"Yes, thank you for your hospitality, people like us feel uncomfortable after staying in the palace for a long time." Benedict chuckled, but Beeves was even more suspicious that Angelo, who had been quiet before, was doing something else, and he didn't stay much at the moment, so he brought the gold coins.

In front of Beavis, Angelo put the gold coin into the ring and saluted Bevis goodbye, neither wanting to be a mercenary's casualness nor the rigidity of a nobleman, but making Beavis difficult to distinguish for a while.

Letting the entourage send the two out of the palace, Bivis just let out a sigh of relief, he had been guided by that Ban Sang in the conversation just now, and he didn't notice it at first, but now that he thinks about it, all he knows is what the other party wants to sue him, although the goal has been achieved, but he always feels a little depressed.

Thinking of this, Beavis turned around and instructed his entourage, "I'm going to the library, and no one is allowed to disturb me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The retinue bowed and retreated, and Beavis looked around and dodged through a secret door.

Three moments later, Beavis's bedroom was opened and closed by the angry king, only to open again two days later.

At this time, the two people who were already in the mercenary guild were choosing on the taskbar on the side, and there was a lot of noise around them, this was like a normal mercenary guild, there were old guys who recruited new people for the mercenary group all year round, and there were fresh ladies who were bragging about themselves at the front desk, but they didn't know that their words had been said by countless people over the years, perhaps, the girl at the front desk could only remember the first person who talked to her, and that promise still gave her a trace of memory although it could never be fulfilled.

Some mercenaries who came to hand in the task poured the magic core in the coarse cloth bag on the counter with a big grin, and the person who collected it calmly took away the blood clots and feathers and other things mixed in it, picked up a magic core and examined it, and after being satisfied, took the magic core away and exchanged it for a bag of gold coins.

There are also a few people with special tokens or badges who do this at the magic circle next to the taskbar, the magic circle lights up, and the badge turns into a piece of scrap metal, but these people's tasks have also been completed, and someone will pay them for it.

It seems to have become an unwritten rule that the higher the pay, the more difficult the task on the bulletin board, but there is also an urgent task that is eager to find a certain material or medicinal herb will be hung high on it. This kind of task is often followed by a deadline, if the mercenary group accepts the task and does not complete it as scheduled, the punishment is not known to be the mercenary group, as well as the mercenary guild.

It's always whining around, but Angelo and the two are still given a little gap, as for the reason, it's actually very interesting, these two people are too clean and seem out of place with the surroundings.

Browsed the tasks on the taskbar and found that there were still many tasks in the direction of Thunder Valley, after all, something happened there just now. Angelo looked closely and saw a task that was hung on his tail but had a high commission.

"Escort Duke Winter's daughter, get married." Angelo looked at this strange and unattended task, and turned his head to look at his side, "A duke's daughter, isn't there an escort when she marries?" No matter how bad it is, the husband's family will always send someone to pick it up, right? Benedict looked at the date behind him, his face slightly stiffened, "This is already a mission three years ago, and no one has answered it until now, I don't know what is hidden." ”

"Haha, this swordsman is right, how do you know the hardships of Duke Winter, his daughter's daughter is going to marry a god on the southeast island, but along the way, don't talk about the mountain road, don't talk about the distance, just say that the ocean is not acceptable to ordinary people." An old man sitting on the side drinking had a dull look in his eyes, as if he was laughing at the loneliness of the two, but he explained the matter clearly between his words. "Duke Winter didn't want to marry his daughter, so he shirked the long distance and couldn't use his own army to escort him, so he could only find mercenaries, although he put up a high commission, but everyone has deliberately ignored this task over the years. Not to mention the danger, let's just say that if you send someone's daughter to marry far away, you will inevitably suffer death when you come back. ”

Angelo stuck out his tongue, "Thank you, old man." Looking at the taskbar again, Benedict's voice came to my ears, "The gods of the southeast island, what do you think?" ”

"Naturally, I have an idea, but it's not clear yet, so it's better to find a mission to go around there, and ask along the way." Angelo's lips stirred, as if he were reciting a task on the taskbar.

Benedict nodded, and the two walked to the next task board, Benedict's sharp eyes found that an envoy's mission had obviously just been hung up, because Xinlu's soldiers should now be preparing to prevent other countries from prying eyes, so this envoy was very reluctant to choose mercenaries all the way, the above requirement was two hundred, obviously going to Chi Yan of the first mercenary group, but the commission hung out behind was not enough to make Chi Yan interested, so this task became prepared for these idle mercenaries.

Now there are more than 30 people who have signed up, looking at this speed, they will definitely be able to report it all today, Angelo blinked, "Let's go pick this up too, right?" ”

"Okay." The two of them don't have to squeeze out of the crowd, and the people next to them will naturally move away, so in some ways, the mercenaries still don't want to cause trouble.

At the front desk, the two reported the task code, and then handed the badge to the registered person, the magic array flashed, and the correspondence on the badge, before the two handed over the task, this record will not be destroyed.

"This is the badge of your receipt, please wait in the West Courtyard." The formulaic answer, the person at the counter is really different from the person who asked before. Angelo pouted, in fact, he still hadn't recognized the person at the counter as a man or a woman, and all they could see was a pair of hands.

Walking to the west courtyard, Angelo looked at the dozens of people lying or standing in the courtyard, his face was a little cracked, but he quickly returned to normal, and pulled Benedict to a fairly clean corner and sat on the ground, it seemed that he knew that he would have to wait for a while, so it was better to take a rest at this time.

As for getting to know the future partners, let's wait until they all move, and now everyone in the courtyard is quietly observing, observing the future partners, as well as the people who can be fooled.

Angelo glanced around, except for a few swordsmen who were obviously old mercenaries and oil, most of the remaining freelance mercenaries had their own things to do, and there was also an apparently newly formed mercenary group sitting in a corner of the courtyard, and it could be seen that they didn't trust each other that much, because none of them left their backs to their teammates.

It's a long time, but as the remaining slots get fewer and fewer, the interval between people coming in is getting faster and faster. Angelo looked at the sun and thought that it would be delayed until noon, but he didn't expect that he would gather 200 people before noon.

Now there are three small mercenary groups among the two hundred, accounting for the share of seventy, and most of the rest are some free mercenaries and old oilmen. Angelo looked around, and made sure that there were only three or two novices in this group of people like himself, and his eyes turned, and he approached in the direction of the old oilman.

Benedict stood with his arms crossed, trying to see what Angelo wanted to do.

Walking near the old mercenary, Angelo flipped his palm and pulled out several bottles of palm wine, which the mercenaries drank most often. "Eh, children are sensible." A middle-aged man whose eyes wandered around suddenly brightened when he saw the wine bottle, and he opened his mouth in one sentence, and he had already put Angelo into the scope of coming to give gifts and curry, so that even if Angelo talked about any conditions with a few people, it couldn't be too much.

"The child is sensible, you old-timer is not self-respecting." The man holding the pipe next to him snorted coldly, looking disdainful, but it pressed the conditions that Angelo wanted to open his mouth to the next level, after all, it is not easy to settle on both sides.

Angelo smiled, put the wine bottles on the ground one by one, there were six people here, there were only four bottles of wine on the ground, a few old oilmen looked at each other and smiled and waited for Angelo to speak, "My teacher and I have just arrived, and there are many things that I don't understand very well, so I want to have a relationship with my seniors." ”

The words are beautiful, but the things are not prepared enough, obviously they are ready to be evaluated, the old oilers naturally understand this meaning, but they are a little angry in their hearts, when they have also been reduced to playing calculations with a little child.

His eyes turned around on a few old mercenaries, Angelo roughly judged the economic level of these people, it stands to reason that there are no poor people in the free mercenaries, but these people are deliberately dressed in shabby clothes but easy to move, and the weapons on their bodies are also of the highest quality, even if it is the man with a pipe just now, the pipe used is not cheap, let alone the rings on these people's hands. Maybe some of the calculations could be mentioned a little bit.
