Chapter 9 Training Grounds
The training ground at Camp Rogge is so vast that it occupies almost the entire southern part of the camp.
Lan Wu stood outside the training ground, his mood was very complicated. This is Kasha's territory. Hundreds of Rogers, of all ages and known as a group of demons by Volod, are training in archery under the leadership of a middle-aged woman with orange hair and an orange scarf.
I don't know if it's the strange rules set by Kashya, or the traditions of the camp. The Rogers who were training in the training ground were all women, ranging from thirteen or fourteen years old to their thirties. I just can't see a man.
Lan Wu hesitated outside the training ground, hesitating whether he should rush into this daughter country, maybe he should say hello first. While he was hesitating, a lazy greeting floated from the training ground.
"What are you doing out there. Hurry on in. ”
Lan Wu was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Kaxia did not raise his hand back and beckoned. When he saw that Kashadu took the initiative to go in by himself, he walked into the training ground generously.
The Rogers whistled when they saw a man walk into the training ground. A few Rogers even threw a wink at him, and then giggled without hesitation.
"Little girls, be a little more restrained." Kashya laughed and scolded, his words insincere.
The Rogers were clearly accustomed to this kind of pointless rebuke. They pointed at Lan Wu unscrupulously, and from time to time a few dialogues such as "he is so ugly" and "he is not my dish".
Kasha completely ignored Rogers' actions. She looked Lan Wu up and down at Lan Wu who walked in front of her, and asked with interest, "You are the professional who Akara said wants to learn Amazon skills?" ”
"If it's Lord Akara to the Lanwu you mentioned. I think it should be me. Lan Wu nodded happily.
"Interesting young man." Kashya whistled, looking up and down with his hands on his chest. After a while, she shook her head and sighed regretfully, "I can feel the huge magic power contained in your body. You have a lot of potential. But you don't have what it takes to be an Amazon. In other words, you don't have Amazon's blood, and you can't learn Amazon's skills. ”
Lan Wu was not disappointed. He had been mentally prepared. As one of the most important qualities of a professional, the skill tree determines the career of the professional. Without a skill tree, there is no potential to learn skills.
"You don't have what it takes to be an Amazon, but ask Kane." Kashya regained his previous languid appearance and continued, adding, "I'm sure Akara has already mentioned Kane to you. He was the most knowledgeable scholar in the camp. He should know about your situation and trust that he will give you sound advice. ”
Lan Wu was about to thank him, but he didn't want to suddenly see that Kasha's whole person seemed to be a different person, his expression was furious, and his whole body exuded a powerful momentum.
"Flora, you're late again." Like a raging lioness, Kasha roared behind Lan Wu.
Lan Wu looked back, and his mood became more complicated.
At the entrance of the training ground, a sneaky probe of Rog with a ponytail and fiery red hair looked into the training ground. She saw that Kasha had found herself, rolled her eyelids, and walked generously into the training ground.
"Flora, I warned you not to be late last time." Kasha is still full of aura.
"You know, you know, menopausal women are really annoying." Flora muttered nonchalantly.
Lan Wu didn't know what to say anymore. Although the character of Rogge he has seen so far has collapsed his worldview, the image is very much in line with his impression of Rogge. However, this late Rogge completely shattered the last bit of obsession in his heart.
Rogge, who looked to be only about sixteen years old, had fiery red hair. But a lock of red hair was dyed purple on her forehead. She has a pair of clear and transparent eyes, but she uses various colors of paint to outline strange and intricate patterns around her perimeter as decoration. Her nose is petite and cute, but there is a small gold ring on the right side of her nose, and a small silver chain is strung with delicate ears.
Flora walked nonchalantly at Kashya's furious gaze. Rog's short bow was placed around her neck, and her hands rested casually on it, as if she were carrying a cross.
"I told you, Rogge doesn't allow tattoos." Kasha pointed to the tattoo on Flora's arm, furious.
"There's more on me, do you want to see it." Flora rolled her eyes and gestured to lift her leather armor.
Cassa was furious at Flora's attitude. She cast her gaze on Lan Wu's face and roared word by word: "Young man, do you know mercenaries? I once swore that whoever could kill the Blood Crow would give him a mercenary for free. You don't need to kill the Blood Crow right now. She's yours. Now get her out of here, immediately, right away! ”
"Him?" Flora looked Lan Wu up and down, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "He's not for me." I refuse. ”
"You don't have the right to refuse." Kashya roared angrily, "I adopted you. I am the one who taught you the art of archery and the skills of survival. You must obey my orders. This is my turf. ”
"Ahem" twice, Lan Wu politely refused: "She's right." She's not for me. I refuse. ”
"This is my territory." Kashya shifted the object of venting and yelled at Lan Wu, "You can only take her." I'm not going to hire a single rogge for you but her. ”
"I refuse." Flora stubbornly insisted on her own opinions.
"This is my order." Kashya's anger remained.
"I refuse." Flora didn't budge.
"You can only choose to obey." Kashya's face was completely black.
"I, refuse, refuse." Flora paused word by word, raising her delicate chin without showing weakness.
Lan Wu watched the two of them staring at each other and felt powerless. It's okay to hire Rogge, but you have to consider the employer's opinion. I've seen forced buying and selling, but I've never seen Rogge forcibly hired. He coughed twice and had to be reminded.
"I am ......"
As soon as the two words came out, Kasha and Flora turned their heads in unison and roared angrily.
"Shut up, boy."
"Shut up, idiot."
Lan Wu was powerless, so he had to ignore the anger of the two of them that was enough to burn people to ashes, and said loudly: "So I don't have the right to choose? ”
"Nope." Kashya's answer was categorical.
"I'm not going to go with you, idiot." Flora, apparently not wanting to be overshadowed by Cascha in this regard, replied even louder.
Lan Wu weighed the pros and cons and sighed helplessly. He stepped forward and gave Flora a gentle hug, whispering in her ear, "Your outfit is too inferior." Come with me, and I'll make you the brightest Rogge and blind their dogs. ”
Flora was trying to give this idiot who couldn't see the situation a little bit. Suddenly hearing Lan Wu say this, her eyes widened in surprise.
"I'll have to admit that I'm not a professional makeup artist." Lan Wu let go of Flora in distress: "But compared to you, I am obviously more professional." ”
"Really?" Flora was obviously not convinced, but there was a little more expectation in her tone.
"Of course." Lan Wu smiled and looked around: "Although the conditions are a little simple, I think they are enough." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you." Flora made up her mind and replied very briskly.
Lan Wu looked at Kashya, stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders. Ignoring Flora's constant urgings, he smiled at Kasha, "Dear Lord Kasha, I have convinced her. ”
Kasha was silent for a long time, silently took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Lan Wu: "This is a contract of employment, protected by the gods. All you have to do is sign this contract, and Flora will be your mercenary, your assistant in your adventures. ”
Lan Wu smiled, took the contract scroll and took a closer look. Contracts are complicated and cumbersome to write. He also looked very carefully. After reading this dense contract, he looked up at Kasha with some surprise.
Kasha ignored Lan Wu's gaze. She returned to her previous laziness, clasped her hands to her chest, and lazily looked away.
Lan Wu suddenly smiled. He happily bit his thumb and pressed a bloody handprint on the contract with blood. The brilliance on the contract flowed, and suddenly turned into a little starlight, and gradually disappeared in his hand.
"You have signed an employment contract. She's yours now. Take her away. Kasha turned around and yelled at the other Rog, "Training, there's no time to waste. ”
The Rogers immediately dispersed in a hurry, and they all returned to their respective seats to start archery training. In a few moments, the sound of bowstrings in the training ground rang out one after another, and it was very lively.
Lan Wu stared at Kashya's back, and after a while he looked back at Flora beside him. The latter returned to his original appearance nonchalantly, his hands lazily resting on the short bow, spitting out bubbles of saliva.
"Follow me. I do what I say. Lan Wu turned and walked towards the training ground gate.
Out of the training ground, Lan Wu smiled without looking back: "Do you know that Kasha has prepared your employment contract?" ”
"She does that to every Rogge." Flora spat out a bubble of saliva, unconcerned.
"Do you know that this contract of yours is a lifelong contract?" Lan Wu's smile was undiminished, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
"Lifetime contract?" Flora's face was not relaxed, and there was a look of disbelief.
"Looks like you know the terms of the lifetime contract." Lan Wu turned around, the smile on his face gone. He looked directly into Flora's eyes seriously: "This means that I can't hire any mercenaries in my life except for you." ”
"If you know that, why do you want to sign this contract?" There was a little more tension in Flora's eyes.
"Actually, I don't want to." Lan Wu spread his hands helplessly: "You should have noticed it too." Kasha has always been in a position where he can catch me back at any moment. I can't escape, and I can't escape the fate of her giving you to me for free. If I don't sign that contract. Can I still leave the training ground? ”
Lan Wu turned around and continued to walk forward. A sentence fell into Flora's ears lightly: "I don't care if I can hire other mercenaries, if I can't, then it's better, obviously fate played a joke on me." ”
"I kind of appreciate you, uncle." Flora suddenly smiled and trotted to Lan Wu's side.
"I'm sorry, I'm still young." Lan Wu was disrespectful.
"Hee-hee, you're much older than me." Flora didn't shy away from suspicion, and took Lan Wu's right hand and shook it straight: "Can you really make me more dazzling?" ”
"Definitely blind their dogs." Lan Wu was not ashamed, and his tone was quite affirmative.
"I like it." Flora giggled, leaving a string of silver bells of laughter on the way.
