The next morning.

On the edge of the forest in the western frontier of the Soma Alliance, in a clearing next to a road, a group of eight long-haired women stood straight.

"Rustling ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound in the woods, and Richard walked out of it, glanced at the group of long-haired women standing, and greeted with a smile: "We meet again." ”

"We did meet again, and although I didn't want it, fate had to make me choose it. The long-haired woman responded, her mood was not high, she just maintained basic politeness, paused and said, "No matter what, we can only cooperate, so let's introduce each other first." ”

"Good. Richard nodded in agreement.

"Let's start with that. The long-haired woman said, without politeness, first pointed to the side, pointing to a middle-aged thin man with only his right eye, "That is my first companion, he is very strong, especially good at fire spells, and there are not many people in the entire continent who can surpass him."

However, due to an accident, his eyes were burned by the enemy with flames, and the magic source was damaged, resulting in a decrease in strength. But even so, it's still not comparable to ordinary wizards. You can call him ......'One-Eyed'. ”

Speaking of this, the long-haired woman turned her finger and pointed at a pale-faced man who was trembling all over his body and looked like he was sick: "That's my second companion, and his strength is not much worse than that of 'One-Eyed'."

He is good at ice spells and is extremely talented, but in an accident, he is struck by a vicious curse. His body is enveloped in cold all the time, and the more he casts the spell, the colder it gets, and he becomes what he is now, you can call him ...... 'Ice Cube'. ”

The long-haired woman pointed to a man with gray skin and an extremely rough surface, like tree bark, and said, "That's my third companion, not too strong, but very good at wood spells, and has mastered many ancient wood spells.

As for his current appearance, it was an accident that forcibly released a wood spell beyond his ability, resulting in a backlash. It's a bit ugly, but he's a nice person, and you can call him ...... 'wood'. ”

The long-haired woman pointed to a fifty-year-old middle-aged man who was heavily hunched over and dressed in brown: "That's my fourth companion, and he has studied a lot of earth-based spells. Not good at attacking, but defensive, far beyond your imagination. He is the protector of all of us, and without him, at least half of us would not be alive today.

And the price of protecting us is that his back is severely twisted in the battle, and we have tried many ways to treat it, but the effect is not good, so we can only let it be. By the way, you can call him ...... 'camel'. ”

After introducing the four people, the long-haired woman's fingers turned to the lame thick-lipped woman next to her, and said softly: "That's Sue, her leg was caused by an accident, you don't need to know too much." She's good at wind spells, she's the only woman on the team besides me, and she has a good personality, but only if you don't make her angry. ”

Richard looked over, and the woman named Sue smiled politely back.

The long-haired woman pointed to the white-haired old man with a black iron mask and gave a brief introduction: "That's Mr. Xizhe, who is the military advisor of our team. ”

Richard looked over and landed on the other party's black iron mask.

The long-haired woman was aware of the explanation: "An accident ruined Mr. Xizhe's face, so he had to wear a mask. ”

Accidents, accidents, and accidents...... A group of people seem to have encountered an accident, there should be a lot of information to dig up, but it shouldn't have much to do with the present, don't bother...... Richard pondered.

Thinking about it, the long-haired woman took a light breath, pointed to the strong man who was one meter and eight meters tall beside her, and said, "This is Hulk, very strong, and also very short-tempered, if you are offended, please bear with me." ”

Hulk ...... Richard raised his eyebrows, looked at the strong man, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty...... Strong is indeed strong, but the skin is not green, and it is not at all different from a character in a movie on Earth.

When the slander was over, Richard looked at the long-haired woman and asked, "What about you?"

"Me. The long-haired woman smiled lightly, her dark brown eyes looking straight at her, "I'm the captain of all of them, you can call me Jasmine." ”

"Jasmine?" Richard's eyebrows moved, and he had to say that this was a very special name, and he looked at the long-haired woman and asked, "This shouldn't be your real name, right?"

"Definitely. Jasmine, the long-haired woman, didn't deny it, and said bluntly, "It's inconvenient to tell you my real name, but the name is originally a code name, and there is not much difference between true and false, just call me 'Jasmine'." ”

After speaking, Jasmine spread her hands and said, "Okay, this is the introduction of all of us, now it's your turn, what's your name?"

"Richard. Richard spoke, succinctly.

"Richard......" Jasmine whispered, stared, looked over, nodded and said seriously, "Well, now that we know each other, we can talk about cooperation next, after all, we can both appear here again, just for this matter." ”

"Definitely. Richard nodded in agreement.

"Then let's talk about the details of the distribution of benefits in the process of cooperation. Jasmine said, waving her hand to the side, and said convincingly, "When I introduced it just now, you also saw that there are eight people on our side, and you are the only one." According to the head divide, what you get from exploring the ancient ruins should be divided into nine parts, eight of us will take eight parts, and you will take one share alone, no problem, right?"

No problem...... Right?!

How can it be okay, there is a big problem!

Richard listened to the words, his eyes blinked, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, I have to say that it was the first time that someone dared to take advantage of him so openly.

Speaking of which, there are not many people he has met who can really take advantage of him.

At the beginning of the White Stone Tower, the black-hearted merchant Alex was one. But correspondingly, he dug up the graves of the other party's ancestors...... Three times.

Now, the long-haired woman named Jasmine took advantage of him so obviously, it would be strange if he could agree.

After all, he wants to work with the other party, not for the other party.

Looking at Jasmine, Richard narrowed his eyes and said, "You take eight, I'll take one?"

But...... The problem now is that the head doesn't matter, it matters to open the seal of the ancient ruins - otherwise you won't come back to me to cooperate. There are only two seals, one for you and one for me. Therefore, what is harvested from exploring ancient ruins should also be divided according to this ratio - half for you and half for me. ”

"Half each?!" As soon as Richard's voice fell, next to the long-haired woman Jasmine, there was a dissatisfied voice, it was the strong Hulk.

Hulk stepped forward, glared, and said, "Do you know how much we have paid to explore this ancient ruin? Now, with a seal you don't know where you got it, let us give you half of what we have gained from exploring the ruins? Seriously, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't even know where the ancient ruins were!"
