Chapter 21: The Words of the Generations
Under the loose cloak, a skull, flickering with a faint blue soul fire, eerie and eerie, looked at the mercenary playfully like a grim reaper, and at that moment, the mercenary thought that he had offended the reaper of death, and was ready to take his soul away at any time and throw it into the dark abyss.
The mercenary felt a chill on his back, the cold death intent spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he was already suffocated, was it the Grim Reaper who wanted to punish him for his offense?
The mercenary really couldn't breathe, but it wasn't Xia Yi who wanted to kill him, but his neck, which was choked by a person behind him, and he easily lifted up.
He is the square-faced leader of the human mercenary group.
"Disgusting scum, get out of the way!"
The regimental commander threw Redbeard's men a few meters away, and the guy hit the foot of the table, a lump appeared on his head, and he covered his forehead and screamed.
"Honorable Miss, I'm sorry that Flodo didn't stop the offender in time and caused you to be harassed!"
Captain Frodo performed a very standard gentleman's courtesy, his mercenary group has strict laws and regulations, and the order is forbidden, although Frodo is not a handsome son, but his square face is full of heroism, and his gestures fully show his charm.
Xia Yi thought that some human nobleman had infiltrated the mercenary group.
"Thank you, sir, I'm Shay, um......"
Xia Yi wanted to say a few more words to thank him for helping him out of the siege, but he didn't hear the name of the group leader.
"Flodo. Yorick, from the Blue Rose Mercenary Regiment, can call me Flodo directly. ”
The Blue Rose Mercenary Group is different from other private mercenary groups, only need to put a name on the mercenary union, and its members, including Flodo, belong to the richest family in the human race, the Blue Rose family, and the mercenary group is only loyal to the Blue Rose family, and generally does not issue tasks in the mercenary union, nor does it accept employment.
With the fame of the Blue Rose family, Frodo thought that this human lady would be surprised, but contrary to his expectations, Xia Yi knew nothing about the so-called Blue Rose family.
The richest man among the human aristocracy, no matter who he is, when he hears the word Blue Rose, he is either envious, or looking up, or amazed, or jealous, but he is not as calm and relaxed as Xia Yi. Frodo was even ready to wait for Shay's slightly flattering surprise before being humble.
However, nothing!
Hadn't she heard of the Blue Rose family? Frodo thought to himself, no way! There is no human being in the world who does not know the Blue Rose Family, and through the praise of troubadours and merchants, the name of the Blue Rose Family resounded in every corner of the continent.
Not only because of the wealth of this family, but also because of it, there is a charm that cannot stop the patriarch!
The Blue Rose family is not very prosperous, and the current patriarch has no brothers and sisters. The young patriarch is dignified, rich, and perfectly like a male peacock! The girls in the human kingdom are all modeled after this patriarch, fantasizing about sweet lovers and love. To say that it is a pity, it is that the patriarch has no descendants so far.
It's not that they don't have a favorite woman, the nobles began to taste women at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and basically had a marriage contract at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the young and excellent patriarch also married a beautiful girl, and the two loved each other very much.
Before the patriarch could give birth to a descendant, the lady died, and the patriarch became a widower!
Of course, it is also the most sought-after widower.
I don't know how many women in Lu Dao want to climb into the patriarch's bed and put on the lady's jewelry and hat, but it has been two years since the lady's death, and the patriarch has never had contact with any woman again, let alone married.
This is the kind of story that the troubadours loved the most, and they sang of the handsomeness and infatuation of the patriarch, and let the love of the patriarch and his wife enter the ears of all the people on the road, and lament that they could not be together.
Seeing that Frodo seemed to be waiting, Xia Yi wondered, thinking that he was inappropriate.
"Mr. Flodo, shall I say anything?"
"Oh, no, no."
Frodo awoke from his reverie and became more and more convinced of the difference between Chailly and ordinary people, that she was a woman who neither coveted wealth nor envied glory and wealth, and that such a woman was beautiful.
Looking at Xia Yi's indifference, Flodo felt guilty for his thoughts just now, it was simply an insult to Miss Xia Yi!
Frodo was sure that Shay was definitely not a deceit, and that no deception could escape his eyes.
"Miss Charity, you are a woman like no other."
Flodo's heartfelt praise made Shay scratch his head.
It was only at this time that the mercenary who was thrown out of the coffin, Redbeard's subordinate, woke up from the blank space of his mind.
"Demons! She's a demon! The mercenary clutched his forehead and shouted, "Eyes of death! ”
Redbeard thought that his men had been stupid by Flodo, and lost his face, so he raised his leather boots and kicked them in the abdomen, and the mercenary whined in pain, not understanding why his boss was going to kick him.
The poor little mercenary is just an ordinary person, and anyone who suddenly sees a skull in the dark will be stupefied! Especially since this skeleton was still chatting with you a second ago!
The fear of mysterious dark creatures, or rather death, broke through the mercenary's reason, and it was good that he was not so frightened that he peed his pants.
"Devil...... I see the devil! ”
The mercenary lay on the ground muttering in agony, and as for leaving him to be a demon every night when he sleeps, a skull popping out of the darkness is a story for another time.
"Shut up! Rubbish! If you cry out for pain, go back to your mother, don't mess with Lao Tzu! ”
Although it was the subordinates who made a fool of themselves, it was up to the owner to beat the dog, the redbeard's gloomy face, and the right hand held the handle of the machete on the table, the blade was full of gaps, but cutting into the flesh and blood could grind people's muscles and muscles.
"Flodo! My subordinates have committed crimes, and I have been taught a lesson by Redbeard, don't you give Lao Tzu face! ”
Redbeard's voice was rough, and the flesh on his face trembled when he roared, and the mercenary captains didn't deal with each other much, but they didn't look up and saw each other.
If you put aside other small mercenary groups, ruin Redbeard's good deeds, Redbeard picked up the knife and did it without saying a word, although he was bold, but he was not reckless, he was afraid of the family behind the Blue Rose mercenary group, and offended them, the world is really not where they can stay!
"Your Excellency Redbeard, I just asked your men to leave Miss Shailly, didn't I hand them over to you intact?"
Flodo said tepidly, maybe Redbeard was a murderer, but in his eyes, he was a worthless reckless man.
can be reused by the family, Flodo is not a fledgling hairy boy, the priorities are clear, the family has explained important matters on this trip, which is related to the survival of the Blue Rose family, and it will not cause extraneous branches.
So Frodo gave Redbeard a step down, and if he didn't know what to do, Frodo wouldn't mind having Redbeard's mercenary group removed from the union.
How can Redbeard, who is crawling in the city of chaos, not understand the meaning of Flodo's peace of mind? When he encounters a character who is more bullish than him, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, as for fame? Fuck it! You can't eat it as a meal!
Redbeard picked up the ale again and was about to put it in his mouth when Mondo spoke.
"Captain Redbeard!"
Although he didn't understand what Shay was urging to save the necromancer, Mondo would do his best to do whatever Shay wanted.
"The little one of the orcs? What's the shit you're talking about?! ”
Redbeard's tone is not good, and he has nowhere to vent his anger just now.
Little Mondo puffed up his chest and threw his developing shoulders not as broad as his red beard, but he felt like a man! And he is a man who stands out for women, and he must not weaken a man's temperament!
"We forgive your men for their rudeness, but there is a request!"
"Humph!" Redbeard wiped the wine off his beard and said, "Don't mother-in-law, say it quickly!" What do you want? What other mercenary groups have, the Redbeard Mercenary Group can also provide, and what other mercenary groups can't do, as long as the reward is sufficient, we can do it! ”
Most of Redbeard's employers are nothing more than murderous and overstalking, so Redbeard asks for gold coins as soon as he opens his mouth.
"I'm going to ......," Mondo pointed to the corner of the inconspicuous tavern, "him! ”
"He? Necromancer? ”
Redbeard grinned so hard that he wondered if he had heard it wrong, why did a beast boy want a necromancer? Evil necromancers, people have always avoided them.
"What do you want him for?"
"You don't have to worry about this, the mercenaries don't have the right to ask the employer about the plan, enough gold, you just need to do the agreement."
Mondo also knew what Redbeard had done before, and he knew a little bit about it.
"Ho-ho!" Redbeard was interested in this beast guy and said with a smile, "Little guy, a necromancer, but it's worth a lot, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for it!" ”
"As far as I know, killing a necromancer can get a reward of three thousand gold coins in the Sect of Light, and capturing a necromancer can get a reward of five thousand gold coins, I will give you five thousand gold coins, you give him to me!"
Afraid that he had deceived Redbeard, Mondo pretended to know everything.
"It's all five thousand gold coins, why don't I bring them to the Sect of Light and sell them to you?" Redbeard obviously wanted to squeeze some more profits, "Six thousand gold coins!" ”
"Hmph, it will take you twenty days to escort the necromancer to the Sect of Light, and you will need to pay for the expenses of your mercenary group, at least a few hundred gold coins, right? What's more, if you are slipped by a necromancer on the way, you won't get a single gold coin for Redbeard, and you will lose all your capital! ”
Caroline knew that the five thousand gold coins Mondo could only take out from his parents' inheritance, which was already the limit, and she was afraid that he would agree to Redbeard's request again, so she hurriedly persuaded him.
Mondo had always regarded his parents' things as his life, but now he squandered them all for Chailly, which made Caroline very uncomfortable.
Five thousand gold coins to buy a necromancer, Caroline is ready to accept Grandpa Sal's scolding!
"Deal!"
Redbeard is a cheerful person, and it is very troublesome to go to the Illumination Sect, so it is better to give it to them.
Frodo on the side had a gloomy expression, although he was not a member of the Illuminati, but he had been nurtured by the Illuminati since he was a child, and he was disgusted with necromancers, and any evil creature should be judged by the Illuminati!
And Shay and his gang saved this necromancer! Maybe it's not a rescue, but in short, the people who deal with necromancers are all pagans with bad hearts! This made Flodo's favorability of Chailly drop directly.
"Miss Charity, if you can, please explain why you want to save him?"
Flodo's question was not on Chailly's mind, and all he received was a faint answer.
This answer directly hit Flodo's soul, subverting and destroying his view of the world world for many years, like a thunderbolt from the sky, shaking Frodo in place, and he doubted the teachings of the Illuminati for the first time in his life......
This phrase was later sung by the world, compiled into various poems by troubadours, and written into the book of Revelation.
The book of Revelation begins: "No man is born to be enslaved and suffered, and no one can judge the life and death of others at will." ”
