Chapter 49: We Seem to Be Alone
At the gate of the city, Sui Yu and the others were naturally stopped by the city guards guarding the gate.
"What people?! Please show your mercenary badge...... Or the Order of Nobility! The captain of the city guard squad in charge of the questioning still added a noble medal after a little hesitation, because the armor Sui Yu was wearing was too beautiful.
Yes, the shoulder pads, knee pads and lower abdomen and other parts are translucent, and it looks like a graceful half-length armor decorated with a lot of glass.
Of course, this is also because the sight and strength of this city guard squad leader is not enough, unlike Luther, who can see at a glance that the armor on Sui Yu's body is not an ordinary product, but an enchanted armor with great power.
Of course, the reason why Luther subconsciously regarded Sui Yu and others as mercenaries was mainly because the equipment on the battle queens was all ordinary equipment made by Ruisi, which looked rough and a little random (in fact, the war queens had more careful matching colors, but because of some cultural differences, this gave the aborigines of this world a sense of mixing and matching), plus the war queens in magic robes all learned from Hakoya and usually hid their faces under the hood to look a little mysterious, which is more in line with the cautious characteristics of mercenary spellcasters, This made Luther not regard Sui Yu as a nobleman.
"Uh...... None of them! Sui Yu, who originally thought that he could enter the city just by paying some entrance fees, was about to take out a few copper coins specially prepared by Philomena as entry fees, but he didn't expect that what the other party wanted this time would change.
Then Sui Yu took out the letter written by Luther from the shortcut inventory and handed it to the captain of the city guard squad and said, "But I have this letter, I don't know if I can give it to you to take care of things, maybe it can be useful." ”
Sui Yu didn't know much about who that Luther was, let alone how influential he was, so Sui Yu was a little weak when he said this. However, when the squad leader received the letter and saw the seal on the envelope, he suddenly shouted to his companion with excitement: "This is the letter from Captain Luther!" ”
Then the squad leader immediately ran quickly to the military station near the city gate, and the excited appearance immediately made Sui Yu understand that the guy named Luther seemed to be quite prestigious among these soldiers.
"Wow, so you know Luther Warrior Chief? I really don't see that a noble kid like you would have such a good relationship with a commoner-born Luther warrior captain, and I heard that Luther rarely writes a letter of introduction or other testimonial. ”
As soon as a veteran soldier finished speaking, a young soldier next to him who seemed to have more eyesight touched the veteran and quietly pointed to Sui Yu's armor and said to him: "They may not be nobles, they may be more powerful professionals!" You see that set of armor looks very beautiful, but the material should be made of green steel with extremely high hardness, and such a set of green steel armor is 180 pounds, you see that she is wearing it without feeling at all, which means that she is definitely a powerful character! And can other people who stay with such powerful characters be weak? Not to mention anything else, the huge scythe that the mysterious woman was carrying behind was definitely not a weapon that ordinary people could use at will! ”
The veteran hurriedly took a step back and looked at Sui Yu and the others with a look of awe, it seemed that after initially understanding the strength of Sui Yu and the others, these city guards, who were not much stronger than ordinary people, had regarded Sui Yu and the others as powerful professionals. And looking at their sudden silence, it is not difficult to guess that for these ordinary people, professionals are probably synonymous with bad temper and fighting without a word!
Sui Yu didn't plan to waste time grinding with these city guards (it was really the other party often called himself "she", Sui Yu felt very aggrieved), it just so happened that the other party didn't dare to provoke because he was worried about doing it at will, which happened to be in line with Sui Yu's heart, and at this time he happened to take time to complain with Philomena: "I knew it was so troublesome, let's disperse into the city and then meet in the mercenary guild." ”
"That's more suspicious, right? But any leader whose IQ exceeds the table will give his subordinates orders to monitor the professionals gathered together, as long as we gather together, sooner or later it will attract the investigation of others, and it will be more troublesome at that time, so it is better for us to talk about things from the beginning! Anyway, we're not here to do evil, just to make money, and the other party shouldn't interfere with us too much! ”
What Philomena said was very reasonable, so Sui Yu had to stay a little depressed and wait for the news - not to mention being watched by a large number of people, from the eyes of passers-by and those city guards, he frequently felt a gaze similar to admiration and amazement, which made Sui Yu extremely irritable.
Fortunately, the captain of the city guard squad finally came over with a regular soldier with a squad leader badge pinned to his neckline.
Sui Yu stumbled upon a problem, that is, although the badge of this squad leader looked similar to Luther's badge, the material seemed to be much different. The insignia of this squad leader seems to be made of iron only, and the material of Luther's badge should be made of the same raw material as his armor - green steel.
He already has a preliminary understanding of this world, and Sui Yu knows that most of the best equipment in this world is made of green steel and mythril (the warrior department uses green steel with strong hardness, while the mage chooses Mithril with strong magic guide).
So judging from this point, Sui Yu guessed that Luther seemed to be the squad leader of a top army in this country, otherwise these city guards would not be as excited as the star chasers seemed to see their idols.
"Hello, you are Yu ...... Sir, right? "The team leader who came here was very polite, of course, if he didn't hesitate for a moment before saying sir, Sui Yu would be very grateful.
"Hmmm! I'm Yu, gender, male, female! Sui Yu nodded slightly, and by the way, he told a joke in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.
The team leader glanced at a group of warblers behind Sui Yu, and after Yan Yan, he nodded with a "I understand" expression and said, "Hmm! You can see it! ”
Then Sui Yu was pinched by Philomena......
"I'm the captain of the fifth squad of the infantry battalion of the Third Legion, Path, of course, you can also make me afraid of death like my comrades, haha!" As soon as he entered this simple-looking military station, he saw several soldiers wearing regular military uniforms and light armor wiping weapons and equipment, and those soldiers immediately saluted Paz after seeing Paz leading Sui Yu and others in.
After returning a military salute, Paz invited Sui Yu to sit on a fairly clean chair, and the rest of the war concubines could only stand in a circle behind Sui Yu.
If you don't know, looking at this meeting, you will probably mistakenly think that Sui Yu, the black boss, is negotiating terms with Tiaozi......
"The specific situation is written in the letter, and since Master Luther has written the letter, then we will naturally help to settle you. And just now, I have ordered my men to contact the Mercenary Guild, and I believe that someone will soon arrange for you to conduct professional evaluations and register for the Mercenary Guild. After taking a sip of water, Paz lowered his head and stared at the water (as if he didn't dare to look up) and continued to say to Sui Yu: "However, although the mercenaries come with money quickly, the work is very hard and dangerous. I heard that your family used to be noble, and it seems that it has been passed down relatively comfortably for several generations, so I wonder if you still have the courage to fight now? ”
"Of course!" Sui Yu knew that the time had come to show manhood! So he turned his hand and took out the spear of the hidden sword, posed in the shape of a sword pointing at the sky, and said to Path: "The forest is not as comfortable as you think, in order to deal with the endless demonic beasts and some wandering goblin communities, everyone in our family has rich combat experience and fearless spirit!" ”
"Alright, alright! I believe it! Am I still convinced? Paz quickly stood up and waved his hand and said to Sui Yu: "Hurry up and put the gun down, the roof is going to be stabbed!" I don't want to climb up on it on a hot day and fix the roof! ”
"Uh...... All right! Sui Yu put away the short gun a little embarrassed, and then Paz said to Sui Yu with an envious face: "Actually, you don't have to work hard to make money at all, as long as you sell the space equipment you have, it will be enough for you to spend a long time, and it is safe!" You know, space equipment is invaluable, and carrying it on your body may cause you endless trouble! ”
"Thanks for the reminder!" Sui Yu knew that Pas was kind and immediately smiled and thanked him, so Paz quickly began to bow his head and drink water again......
Don't mention Sui Yu's depression, even he has secretly sworn in his heart that he will never smile at other men casually in the future! (What a sin it would be to break people!) )
Perhaps to alleviate the embarrassment, Paz said to Sui Yu with some joy: "Speaking of which, you are really lucky to have chosen to come to Black Ridge!" Although Blake Ridge is close to the Duchy of Felicis, there are often raiders who come to loot or capture slaves and sell them back to China, but compared to the country of Felicis, this is definitely a good place for people who want to make a difference in the mercenary industry! ”
When Paz said this, he said to everyone with a proud face: "Because the Black family is a newly raised family of pioneer knights, this family does not have all the bad habits of those old nobles in the kingdom!" Moreover, the Black family not only often sends the knights directly under the family to maintain law and order, but also often provides relief to the victims of disasters, so that the people in the territory can not worry about starving to death due to various disasters! After making so many feats, the Black family also specially invested a large amount of gold coins in the Mercenary Guild to issue patrol missions, ensuring that the beasts in the Black Territory were basically nipped in the bud! So compared to the Duchy of Felicis and several other nearby territories, Black's Ridge is definitely a good place for you new mercenaries! ”
Sui Yu originally planned to take on more tasks and make money, but after hearing that this place was so peaceful, he lacked interest.
Probably seeing Sui Yu's thoughts, Paz continued: "Don't be in the midst of happiness and not know happiness! Let's just say the Duchy of Felicis, I heard that where the aristocratic life is jealous and erosive! And because it belongs to the griffon empire, and once it is invaded by foreign enemies, it can ask for reinforcements from the griffon empire, so the aristocratic life in the principality of Felicis is quite extravagant! At the same time, those aristocratic children are no longer satisfied with robbing the level of robbing the people's girls in order to pursue excitement, and now their favorite comparison is how many beautiful female professionals they have slept with! To put it mildly, if these beautiful ladies led by Your Excellency enter the Duchy of Felicis, perhaps one day the descendants of those bold nobles will rush up and eat these ladies by all means! ”
With a bang, Sui Yu slapped the table and said loudly to Pas: "Then it also depends on whether the second generation has that ability!" ”
"My desk!" Paz screamed and looked at the clear palm print on the wooden table with a distressed face, and at the same time had an intuitive understanding of Sui Yu's strength - this table was made of ironwood, and ordinary professionals would have to cut it for a long time to break it even if they cut it with a sword.
"So you really have to choose the Kingdom of Talaya, but maybe going to the territory of other nobles is also a good option, right?" Philomena naturally understood Sui Yu's purpose very well, so she took the opportunity to wait for someone to make a temptation.
"Other territories? Sheen Collar or Taraya Collar directly under the royal capital? The security of the royal capital's territory is so good that there is no way for ordinary mercenaries to live, but the lord of the Sheen Territory doesn't like beautiful women, it is said that he likes to play with men, and the more beautiful the better! ”
As soon as the last few words came out, Sui Yu's face turned completely blue......
So Sui Yu decisively decided: "I decided!" Just stay here, and sure enough, it's still the best place to stay! Oh yes, what's it called? "Well, this guy doesn't even know what kind of territory he belongs to in Bryce Town.
"It's Blake who leads the ......," Paz answered Sui Yu's question weakly, but fortunately, at this time, the door was dark, and a soldier led a man in leather armor in, finally breaking the embarrassing atmosphere in the room again.
After a brief introduction, Sui Yu knew that the leather-armored man was the person who Paz had hired to be responsible for arranging Sui Yu and others to take the professional grade certificate, as for what it was called, Sui Yu forgot it after hearing it (Sui Yu was too lazy to remember the name of the character of passer-by A at first glance).
According to the rules of the Mercenary Guild, only professionals who have reached the bronze level can join the Mercenary Guild and become mercenaries, so Sui Yu and the others immediately followed the passerby A to a place that seemed to be specially used to test the level of professionals after saying goodbye to Path.
This is a fairly large courtyard, and there are a lot of stones, targets, and some props that cannot be seen to be used in the courtyard, and Sui Yu and the others only need to show a certain ability to surpass ordinary people to pass the bronze level vocational qualification test. This was very easy for Sui Yu and the others, so soon everyone passed the bronze level career test.
So Sui Yu and the others decided to go to the Mercenary Guild immediately, and as for the passerby A's request to directly do the silver level test, Sui Yu refused.
Sui Yu's purpose was just to take on some tasks from the Mercenary Guild to earn some Chaos Gold Coins, and they didn't have any interest in taking the exam. What's more, even if you pass the silver level test, there are no benefits, and only when you pass the gold level test can you receive a monthly allowance from the state.
After taking the professional certificate, Sui Yu and the others followed the man to the Mercenary Guild again. At this time, the Mercenary Guild was a little more deserted than when Sui Yu came to find the player before, needless to say, this was all made by Sui Yu!
After a brief introduction and explanation again, Sui Yu and the others completed the registration of mercenaries. Of course, when the reception lady politely reminded him that he had filled in the gender column incorrectly, Sui Yu replied with a smile: "I'm a man!" Pure gentlemen! ”
After getting the newly handled mercenary badge, Sui Yu immediately led the battle girls to the counter of the mercenary group and applied for registration of the mercenary group, but the young lady in charge of registration asked Sui Yu stupidly: "Sorry, the mercenary group needs at least ten people to register, so you have one less person!" I'm afraid you'll need to find another person to respond to your mercenary group. Oh yes, mercenaries who leave other mercenary groups are not allowed to respond to others to form mercenary groups for one year. ”
Sui Yu suddenly realized at this time that it seemed that they were really missing one person - Tolia!
