Chapter 231: Cranvo joins the team
"What are you sitting here for? Why not go to those people's celebrations? Acoste walked over to Kranvo and sat down seemingly casually, and asked very familiarly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Who are you?" But Cranvo didn't take the words of the half-elf sword master, but looked at Acoste with a wary expression, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the sword even more silently.
"I'm Acoste, originally a mercenary in the West Hartland region, where I lived in the wilderness for six years, and then met a group of like-minded friends there." The half-elf sword saint shook the wine bottle in his hand, his chin was furrowed, and there were a few people standing in the distance who happened to be smiling and greeting here.
"Then we talked about going out and seeing the world, so we wandered here?"
"So you're the same adventure party that came to Twilight a few weeks ago, and I heard that you killed Ice-Grushut." When Klanwo heard this, he immediately let down his guard, although there was still a vigilant look in his eyes, but when he heard that the other party was his colleague, he put down the hand holding the sword.
"As luck would have it, we happened to have a powerful piece of magic equipment in our hands, but after we killed the bipedal wyvern, the forbidden weapon was also reimbursed." The Half-Elf Sword Saint spread his hands helplessly, "Otherwise, I would have done a few other tasks with my friends, and I wouldn't have to be a bodyguard for those merchants every day like now, and I could only earn a little money for wine every day......
"That makes a lot of sense." Klanwo nodded in agreement, this down-and-out wandering warrior has been really miserable recently, so that he usually can't even afford the necessary ale wine for warriors, and a pair of eyes are not vigilant, but staring directly at the wine jug in Acoste's hand.
"Hahaha......" Acoste shook his head with a smile, threw the half pot of wine in his hand to him, and took out a new pot of wine from his waist and opened it.
"Why are you so miserable, don't you usually see that your kid is very diligent in taking tasks?" Seeing that he had become a little more familiar with the other party, Yacoste moved to Kranvo's side again, and this time the cautious wandering warrior said nothing.
Twilight Lake is small, there are no more than 100 natives living in the town, and even foreign mercenaries can mingle with the others even if they live here for a few months, so there is little mystery about the people here.
"Well, don't mention it, I don't make much money every day on those little tasks, and I'm not just spending on it." Cranvo's face was vicissitudes. The Half-Elf Sword Master immediately burst out laughing, revealing an expression that I know as a brother.
"I've long heard that you have a leg with the first beauty in the town, but I didn't expect that the other party would spend so much on weekdays that he could make you, a hard-working soldier, poor."
"Well, don't talk about it, anyway, all I can do now is work hard to make money, after all, she is ......" Klanvo stopped talking as if he thought of something in the middle of his words, and instead asked another question to Acoste with a nervous face.
"Friends from afar, do you have any ways to make money recently, I am in urgent need of money now, but no one is willing to hire me to do big things, if you have a way, you must introduce me, I am willing to do anything!"
"Oh? Do you want to make money so much? The corners of the Half-Elf Sword Master's mouth curled slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile.
"I happen to have a big task on hand right now, but the employer wants to hire a 9-person adventure team, and now my team is only 7 people, this mission is very profitable, but it is very dangerous, how about it, we happen to be a brave and fearless soldier in the current platoon, are you interested in joining us?"
"Really?" Kranvo's eyes straightened when he heard the half-elf swordmaster talk about this, "Then how much profit can I get if I join!?" β
"If all goes well, each of us will get 100 gold coins!"
"Shhh
The downcast warrior gasped, and his random breathing became rapid!
That's 100 gold coins, he has worked hard as a mercenary for so long, and he still gets up early and works late every day, and he hasn't made 100 gold coins so far......
However, for lords like Acoste, 100 gold coins are really nothing, and the least valuable treasure on display in their private treasury is gold.
This is a very unreasonable phenomenon on the continent of Faerun, 99% of the wealth on the main plane is in the hands of 1% of the people, while the remaining 99% of the people have only 1% of the wealth in their hands......
The low-level workers who work hard every day do not earn enough to eat a full meal, while the children of the hereditary aristocracy who are drunk and dreaming of death have endless money in their hands.
This uncoordinated distribution of materials has seriously restricted the economic development of the Faeron continent, and there have been many bloody incidents of uprisings and rebellions, but the problem has continued to the present, but there has been no sign of change.
The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, the royal power and divine power on the planet Torreel are too strong, and at the same time, Torreel is a highly magical planet, no matter what Aristotle-like characters are born on the continent of Ferron, there will never be a Renaissance similar to the history of the earth.
In Acoste's previous life, there was an ancient saying on the earth that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, but this sentence is not applicable to the Faeron continent, because the water here is too shallow, and the boat is a bit too big.
A well-trained professional with a professional level can easily open a peerless crowd among hundreds of civilians, and a legendary professional can theoretically kill all the ordinary people in the Faren Continent!
With such a big difference in strength between the two, even if those who live at the bottom all the year round are no longer angry in their hearts, can they still rebel forever......
There are simply too few examples of self-made people like Acoste......
Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of Kranvo, how could an ascetic warrior who has always been poor and afraid be willing to give it up?
However, after all, Cranvo is the god of death who will be chosen in the future, and his mind is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, this kind of news that ordinary people may have gone crazy for a long time has not deprived the wandering warrior of his senses, although his face is red, his heart is beating faster, and his whole body is sweating, but he still stares at the eyes of the half-elf sword saint, and asks in a hoarse voice.
"What about the threat? Are you sure of success? Will the employer keep its promise after the matter is completed? β
"Of course!" There was an appreciative look in Yacoste's eyes. "It's a bit threatening, but we're definitely sure of success, bringing you with you is just an extra insurance, and the reputation of the employer is also guaranteed, I can swear here, if the employer doesn't pay you when you complete the mission, our [Night King] team will definitely pay you!"
"Good! I'm joining! β
After a long silence, Kranvo said to Acoste with an affirmative look as if he had finally made some kind of decision.
"Yes, you are welcome to join the Night King and be a part of us." The Half-Elf Sword Master smiled and stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously with the down-and-out warrior.
"So what kind of career are you looking for for in the other slot?"
After becoming a family for a while. Cranvo was also interested in this task, and began to take the initiative to ask about the preparation of the mission.
"En......" Acoste glanced at the wandering warrior meaningfully, and a glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. We still lack a mage, you know, spellcasters generally look down on big and rough warriors like us, and the number of wandering spellcasters is a little too small......"
"Do you lack a mage! I have exactly the right person here! β
Kranvo didn't notice the half-elf swordmaster's eyes hidden in the depths, but instead jumped up for joy when he heard the news.
"It can't be the girl called Midnight, is she still a mage? No wonder you can't afford to keep your mistress, the caster's usual expenses for experiments are huge. Acoste pretended to be surprised, but he had known all about them decades ago.
"That's right." Kranvo's face turned red, I don't know if it was because of the relationship between midnight, or because he had just joined and stuffed his own people into the team, the wandering warrior scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But she is definitely qualified for the work of a mage, although her professional level is not high, but she can do the most basic spells, and she still has a few pieces of magic equipment on her, she is much more powerful than me!" β
"In this case, since you strongly recommend it, then you can bring your good friends to the Prancing Horse Tavern in the next few days, and we will rest there for the next few days."
Yacoste frowned slightly, revealing a very reluctant expression, but his heart was happy, and he secretly made a yes gesture.
"Thank you! Yacoste, Midnight and I won't disappoint you or your teammates! Cranvo nodded excitedly, he knew that the other party might be a little too happy now, but the wandering warrior had confidence in himself and the midnight lady, believing that when they met their lover, the other party would be satisfied.
"Oh, by the way, Acoste, can I ask you a question?" When it was time to leave, Cranvo took the magic contract he signed, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and looked at Acoste with a very serious face, which made the half-elf swordmaster a little confused, and he didn't know what he had to worry about.
"Yes, you can ask."
"Why did you come to me? You must know that I am just an ordinary mercenary with no name, there are too many mercenaries like me in the Giant Running Mountain Range, and we have never known each other before, why are you willing to give me this opportunity? "The Broken Warrior felt that all this was too unreal, he was like the lucky protagonist in a popular novel, obviously he was just sitting in the shadow of the banquet scene of the Moon Celebration, chewing alone and watching others lively, but a noble person came to help him, how could this kind of adventure be encountered in ordinary times?
And about the authenticity of the other party's dictation, Kranvo also did not doubt it at all after signing the magic contract, everything has been clearly explained on the magic contract, after the two people signed their names, their relationship has been recognized by the god of the contract, if anyone dares to violate the provisions of the contract without authorization, then the divine envoy of the god of the contract will appear in the mortal world to maintain the fair effect of the contract!
Moreover, this contract scroll alone is more than the price of 100 gold coins, since the other party is willing to take it, it means that the other party is still very powerful, whether this scroll is given to them by their own or the employer behind them, Kranwo believes that they should not hack themselves and Midnight's little reward of two hundred gold coins!
Hehe, of course, it's because you and that Ciric, and the priest of the goddess of magic, Ayton, have had an earth-shattering experience in the future, and finding you is equivalent to finding midnight, if not, how would I have come all the way to find you, a mid-level professional........
"Maybe it's because of fate, I thought we could be friends when I first saw you." However, Axter only thought about the above words in his heart, and he said this sentence with a sincere face, leaving Klanwo stunned for a moment.
"Well, I think so too, by the way, my full name is Cranvo Leonsban, brother, what's your name?"
"Acoste. Wells. The half-elf sword master replied very politely, but he didn't dare to use his real surname, although he said it, the giant running mountain range and the starry night collar are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, but after all, his current fame is not small, and this is a place where merchants travel from south to north all year round, and he can't keep this warrior who looks a little stunned has heard of his name, in line with the principle that more is better than less, Acoste is very wise to change his surname again.
"Really? Then we'll come to you tomorrow at midnight, goodbye! Have a good dream. The down-and-out warrior waved goodbye to Acoste, and even though he didn't have any doubts about Acoste now, he still felt that what had happened to him tonight was dreamy, a little too lucky.
"Goodbye, and have a good dream." As everyone knows, the half-elf swordmaster on the opposite side is also happy in his heart, and he has managed Midnight and Kranvo in one night, and the rest is as long as they go to Arabelcheng, where they find the priest Ayton and the gangster Shirek who are still working in the temple, then this team member Acoster, who turned Faeron upside down in the turbulent year, can be considered to be completeγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
