Chapter 88: Employment (1)

"Yuanyang Collapse Fist!"

In the Hall of Illusions, Hathaway let out a clear snort and hit the brute's neck with a punch...... At the moment when the fist and neck touched, a faint brilliance flashed on the surface of the white fist, and there were a few very crisp sounds, and the neck of the wild bull was twisted unnaturally, and the huge body still rushed forward dozens of meters, and fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no life in the huge eyes.

"It's a very strong force, but it's not necessarily stronger than the fighting spirit." The veteran vomited on the sidelines.

"It's just that I've just cultivated, and I'm not proficient yet."

Hathaway moved her wrist, she didn't feel any pain, because this was in the Hall of Illusions, and it was impossible to do her any harm.

After Yuanyang Qi Refining broke through the sixth layer in one fell swoop, the progress was not so fast, and fortunately, her eighth Qi Vein had also taken shape. But she was in no hurry to open up ...... Before the qi veins were fully opened, she used the cultivation secret methods of the goblin clan to strengthen and widen the qi veins to make them more powerful, which were all the teachings of the veteran.

At the same time, she also began to study the Yuan Qi technique, nourishing the flying sword with the Yuan Qi - she only had a magic sword left to her by her mother, which was a good sword embryo. It's just that raising a sword is a hard job, and it can't be done in the Illusion Demon Palace. In addition to this, she spends most of her time studying potions, magic patterns, and magic.

"You're not going to be a soldier in the future, and this skill in close-quarters combat doesn't matter."

The veteran was still chattering: "The magic gem you carved tomorrow still needs to be improved, and the fire element is arranged in that way." It's too dangerous, and the slightest mistake will undo it. ”

"Then don't let it slip up."

"You can't guarantee it."

"Yes, it can be ...... with jigs and gages"

It is better to fight with the sky and the earth than with people...... It's a lot of fun!

During this time, in the name of 'safety', Hathaway turned down most of the invitations, but still attended some meetings. However, she didn't like that kind of petty bourgeoisie or decadent party before. I don't like it anymore. Each of those women was more subtle and coquettish than the other. The hypocrisy of those men one by one...... And in the eyes of those people, Hathaway. Miss Bell is an unworldly nerd figure.

The only bright spot is Fruya. Bell, this little girl may be the only person in the entire Bell family who clearly shows kindness and appreciation to Hathaway, and can finally make Hathaway feel a little at home.

"Oh! Sister Hathaway. That stepmother is so bad! Snow White is so pitiful! "The little lady has a lot of tears and snot. The little face is like a cat.

Belch. Lady Elizabeth, I didn't mean to insinuate you!

Hathaway suddenly found that this story seemed to be somewhat in line with reality, and it was no wonder that art came from life. This makes perfect sense, she quietly took out her handkerchief to wipe the dirt off the little girl's face, and then told her the story of the mermaid.

……

Taylor. Brower entered the courtyard where Hathaway lived with a solemn expression, and saw Hathaway in a homely dress and Frua. Bell plays with her ponies.

"Mr. Brower, is there something going on?" Hathaway asked, turning her head.

"His Royal Highness the Duke has just sent someone to deliver the news, and you will leave in two days." Taylor. Brower said with his eyelids down.

"I know it."

Hathaway was stunned for a moment, then nodded, she muttered for a moment and then said, "Mr. Brower, are you willing to do the last thing for me?" ”

Taylor. Brower's cheeks twitched slightly: "Miss, listen to your orders." ”

"In less than half a year, I went through four assassinations. On the way to the capital this time, I was worried that I would be intercepted by bandits or killers, so I wanted to find some mercenaries to protect me. ”

"Your Excellency will arrange for guards to keep you safe." Taylor. Brower said.

"Huh!"

Hathaway let out an incomprehensible laugh, "Forget it, I'm still used to arranging my own affairs. Of course, if you're feeling embarrassed, I can put Berger in charge. ”

Taylor. Brower's eyelids jumped slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I can do this well." ”

"Let's go together." Hathaway groaned for a moment, then said suddenly.

When Hathaway came to the door, the carriage was already waiting in front of the mansion, and a well-dressed coachman sat on it. Brower waited.

The carriage was the most beautiful and luxuriously decorated carriage in the mansion, and was originally reserved for the Lord and the Lady. But when Hathaway returned, she used it sometimes.

The carriage, painted in light blue, was covered with gold lacquer ornaments, and the side doors of the carriage were painted with the family crest of the Bell family...... The head of a bighorn deer.

A carriage also reflects the dignity of a nobleman, especially the decoration of the appearance and the family emblem representing the symbol of the nobility, which makes passers-by look sideways, which is the supreme glory of the nobles.

Hathaway didn't care about these things, she had had had enough of the bumps of the carriage on the way here, but luckily it burned down, otherwise she didn't know if her body would have withstood the bumps. When she came to Vermont, she designed a carriage herself...... Safe and comfortable, as for whether it is luxurious, then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise. Although she had already asked the men to rush to work, the factory owner could only promise to deliver them the day before she left.

Hathaway got into the carriage, Taylor. Brower sat down beside the coachman and motioned for him to hurry.

The carriage moved slowly, not because the road was crowded with pedestrians, but because of the etiquette of the nobility, it was necessary to take it calmly at all times...... In Hathaway's understanding, it is better to get wet than to walk around.

As the carriage drove up the wide, paved main road, it began to pick up speed and headed towards the mercenary union. Security has always been a major issue in this world, and it is the same in any country. Due to various reasons such as class, race, war, etc., security has always been a major cancer in society, so although the mercenary profession is a very dangerous profession, the number of people who can participate in this profession is on the rise every year...... At the same time, the mortality rate of mercenaries is also high.

Taylor. It's certainly not the first time Brower has been here...... On the contrary, he was familiar with the place.

Hathaway was also visiting this street for the first time, poking her head out of the carriage and looking at the rows of shops along the avenue, and the towering city walls could be seen not far away. These shops sell a wide variety of goods, from floral cloths and clothes to metalware, most of which are transported from all over the South via the Blue Ocean and the many tributaries of Disney's Grand Canal. For example, the precious spices that made the ladies spend a lot of money, the gorgeous silks that were used to wrap the body in layers, and the fine porcelain that was as white as white jade and had beautiful ornaments on it...... Most of them, not even the Ortiga Empire's own production, came from more distant lands, gathered in the prosperous and developed city of Vermont through the Otiga Empire's large coastal ports.

While the merchants brought goods, they also brought prosperity to the area. Like all thriving, lively shopping streets, it is also full of hotels and bars. Those beautifully decorated inns were obviously the places where merchants lived, and with money, it was natural to want to take care of their bodies. The dilapidated inns and bars are the favorite places for employees who don't have much money. Usually this kind of place is so lively that you can hear the noise coming from inside even from a long distance.

The mercenary guild is not far away...... A rather majestic building, the four large characters of 'Mercenary Guild' are shining, and a long sword stuck in a shield is carved on it.

There are generally two ways to post a task in the mercenary union, one is to register the task through the mercenary union, and then the union will negotiate with the suitable mercenary or mercenary team according to your requirements, but this will charge a certain fee. The second is that the mercenary himself contacts the mercenary to find a suitable team. However, the employer is responsible for a series of adverse consequences brought about by this type of employment.

There are two main negative consequences, one is that the mercenaries are not strong, resulting in the loss of life and property; Second, some mercenaries don't have a good reputation, although they also accept mercenary assignments, but sometimes when they find that their employer is very talented, they don't mind changing jobs to become bandits, anyway, this kind of thing doesn't let people catch it...... Of course, this kind of contact does not need to go to the mercenary hall, and there are many mercenaries in the mercenary bar next to it who are willing to take on this kind of work.

Seeing Hathaway walking towards the bar, Taylor. There was a look of disapproval in Brower's eyes, but he didn't object, and stepped forward to open the door for Hathaway.

A strange smell greeted her, and Hathaway frowned slightly and walked inside...... It's not uncommon to have this weird smell in a poorly ventilated place, and Hathaway remembers that when she was in college, the men's dorm room seemed to smell like this, but it was lighter...... It's a matter of quantity.

In the bar, the light has always been dim, as if everywhere, except that there is no heavy metal rock and the misty lights. The bar was apparently divided into several floors, and there was more to the upstairs than he could see. But there was only a little light, except for the little light that came through the carved partitions beside it, and only the bean-sized light that emanated from the oil lamps hanging beside it.

In addition to the darkness, another impression of Hathaway was crowding. All the places here were full of people, and some even sat on the railings and drank. The counter in front of it is the most crowded place. Many people stood there, either with their arms propped up, or leaning against the counter, and in their hands, without exception, holding a tin jar, gulping down cheap liquor. (To be continued......)
