Chapter 37: The Killing Contest (1)
The "......" tavern owner didn't say anything, it was obvious that Angelina was deliberately finding fault and reporting the other party's disdain to compete with her just now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't see it that way, first of all, the business of most mercenary groups is to protect the safety of the slave group, and wherever the slave group goes, the mercenary group will go, so I only need to pay 25 big eju." Murong Tao said indifferently.
"Actually, what Angelina said is not completely wrong, medium-sized mercenary groups like the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, they are also involved in the slave trade." The middle-aged man finally said a pertinent answer, "It's better to be like this, since you are a friend of Marcus and saved my daughter, you should be given a discount in all respects, and it would be good to pay a total of 30 big eju for the two commissions." ”
Murong Tao didn't refute it anymore, it was originally this woman named Angelina who caused trouble, and he just didn't want to be the wronged leader. He took out a few gold louis from his bosom and gently placed them on the bar.
"Kim... Kim Louie! The middle-aged man originally thought that Murong Tao would take out a big bag of loose money, but he didn't expect to directly take out nearly 10 gold louis, this kind of coin is rarely circulated among the commoners, most of them are in the hands of those royal relatives, could it be said that this guy who looks very ordinary is actually a nobleman?
"Don't worry, it's someone else's salary paid in advance, it's not hot." Can Marcus still not understand the thoughts of middle-aged people? directly explained the origin of these gold louis, of course, it was only a sentence.
Prepaid wages? Pay your wages in advance with Louie? The people in these treehouse taverns are not calm.
"Boss!" A young man with a simple wooden bow behind him suddenly broke in, muttered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, and the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, "Angelina, organize everyone, the wolf mercenary group is wantonly hunting young children and young girls in the slums, and killing a few of us, this revenge cannot be avenged!" ”
"If you're willing to give me another discount, I can help you kill a few wolf cubs." Murong Tao raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Don't get too late!" Angelina rebuked angrily, "I think I'm sorry, the regular forces of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment are equipped with muskets, do you think you can kill the enemy with those broken stones?" Dream! ”
"Do you want to make a bet between the two of us?" Murong Tao suddenly became playful, "Don't say that I bullied you, you can choose a few helpers, let's compete to see who can kill more mercenaries, if you win, I will pay 45 gold louis worth Da Eju according to what you just said, but if I win, you must promise to do me a favor." ”
"Angle, don't promise him!" The young man who came in to spread the word before was hostile to Murong Tao, obviously Angelina was very popular among their group, "These nobles are scheming! ”
"Don't call me Angle!" Angelina was obviously disgusted by others calling herself so, "Okay, I agreed, but I want to choose my own helper, don't underestimate me, I won't admit defeat easily!" ”
Murong Tao smiled and waved his hand to scatter a dialog box that had just appeared, this time it was not a random task prompt, but a hiring task prompt, as if Angelina could be hired in this way.
Taking advantage of the stall where the people in the Tree House Tavern were about to leave, Murong Tao casually waved his hand and touched the back of his head, in fact, his purpose was to open a task dialog box, because since just now, there has been no hint of success or failure for that random task.
I've seen it myself, and although I've got a key, I don't know how to use it, so I hope the system can prompt you.
As expected, although there is no prompt for the completion of the task, it has made a breakthrough compared to the very simple narrative when the task was first received.
Quest Tip 1: Captain Luther has given you a quaint key that unlocks a mysterious treasure. [Completed] Bonus XP +5
Quest Tip 2: There should be no shortage of people who want to deal with you in the British, Dutch, and Holy Roman Empire with some status and fame. [Completed] Bonus XP +10
Quest Tip 3: Someone will kill Luthor on his way to Paris as he is escorted.
Mission Tip 4: The former Doge Royo apparently has great people behind him, and he can't be allowed to return to Paris alive, and must find a way to solve this potential trouble as soon as possible.
The current level of St. Noah's Star is level 3, the next level requires 250 experience points, and the current experience pool has 15 experience points.
"It's leaving, Melody is still asleep, let him stay here." Marcus gently pushed Murong Tao, who was pondering, and Murong Tao found that he and Marcus were left in the entire treehouse tavern, "They have all assembled and left, and when they left, they left you a map of the slum area, which is quite detailed." It is said that the members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group are currently operating in these positions. I'm not going, and I won't be able to help if I go, so I might as well stay here and have some wine. ”
Murong Tao nodded, glanced at the sketch a few times, and actually asked the Saint Noah Star to scan it, and soon several cursors and dialog boxes of different sizes appeared around him, indicating the movement of the group of enemies closest to here.
It's a pity that it's just an approximate direction, if only there was a GPRS satellite positioning system.
Murong Tao originally thought about it casually, but he didn't expect the Agent system to pop up a dialog box, "The current system level is too low to activate the GPRS satellite positioning system, please upgrade the system level as soon as possible!" ”
There really is this kind of function, just imagine, in the future, in the vast sea, there is a GPRS positioning function, just think about it.
Climbing onto the roof from the same road, he climbed down in small steps, and a fork in the road appeared in front of him, but fortunately, the system scanned a sketch so that he could quickly identify the direction.
Along the way, you can see the corpses of some mercenaries, and there are some weapons scattered next to the corpses, Murong Tao picked up a few handy weapons casually, waved them a few times, and took advantage of them.
It seems that there has just been a fierce battle here, in addition to the corpses of the mercenaries, there are traces of being dragged on the ground, and there are blood stains of different sizes scattered near the traces, it can be seen that both sides have suffered injuries in this conflict, and the people of the Treehouse Tavern quickly dragged the wounded away.
It must have been dragged to a nearby hut, and although it had been cleaned near the porch, some scattered traces could still be found.
Murong Tao gently pushed the hut open, the hut just blocked the door with some heavy objects from the inside, and the young man who was lying in the house and moaning couldn't stop seeing Murong Tao come in, instinctively grabbed his sword, and stared at this unrestrained guest with his eyes.
"Maybe you don't know me, but I did come out of the Treehouse Tavern, you should know Angelina, right?" Murong Tao spread his hands and threw the weapon he picked up to the side, "Your injuries are a bit serious, if you don't treat them in time, it won't be long before you die of excessive blood loss." ”
"You... What do you want to do? After all, the young man still couldn't support it, and his sword slipped to his side, panting and looking at Murong Tao vigilantly.
"I can help you ease things up, and I'll come back to you when this is over." As he spoke, Murong Tao took a step forward, stretched out his right hand and pressed a few big points near the young man's wound, the gauze that had been soaked in blood did not continue to seep blood, and Murong Tao's other hand tapped the young man's sleeping hole, and the latter fell directly into a state of suspended animation.
"Help me record the coordinates, I'm afraid I'll forget it when I turn around." Murong Tao obviously said this to the Star of Saint Noah, only to see a blue dot appear on the somewhat vague sketch, indicating that there were wounded here.
When Murong Tao was about to turn around and leave, suddenly there was a noise outside, accompanied by the crying of children and the impatient threats of several men.
Pulling open the wooden door, I looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a team of 10 mercenaries urging the children who had been caught, swearing and walking past the door. Murong Tao casually found a rag from the house to cover his face, and then took advantage of the moment when the last mercenary passed by the hut, rushed out of the door, holding the head of the unlucky mercenary with both hands, and broke it hard, and the crisp sound of broken bones came, and the mercenary was paralyzed to the ground before he even made a sound.
The other mercenaries turned around and found Murong Tao lying at his feet with a masked face, as well as companions who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and immediately roared angrily, ignoring the captured children, they pulled out their respective weapons and rushed straight towards Murong Tao.
Killing these rabble, Murong Tao didn't use the weapons he picked up on the road at all, he solved most of them with just one hand, most of them were broken neck bones, and there were also unlucky people whose chests collapsed, rushing too fast, and being lifted by the momentum, and the last 10 mercenary teams were left with only one person, holding a scimitar in his hand, and kept retreating, holding the scimitar in front of him, but he no longer had the fighting spirit to resist.
"You... Who are you? Murong Tao stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the other party's throat with one claw, and treated these mercenaries who were unscrupulous for money, Murong Tao's eyes did not have the slightest mercy, and the strength in his hands became bigger and bigger, the weapon in the mercenary's hand had already fallen to the ground, and his hands were struggling tightly, but Murong Tao's strength was too great, and it didn't take long for his eyes to roll and he died.
Throwing away the mercenary's lifeless corpse, he pulled out his weapon and slashed hard at a few children who were tied up, and the hemp ropes were cut in an instant, "Hurry up and go home!" Not so much luck next time! ”
"Thank you for saving me and my sister!" An older boy did not scatter like the other captured children, but bowed in the direction of Murong Tao, and behind him was a younger girl, both of whom had dirty faces, obviously wandering around the slums all year round, "But we don't have a home, can you take us away?" ”
