Chapter 4 Grenoble
Occam neatly picked up the dead tiger and led the group to rest in the temporary field camp set up by the Iron Shield Mercenary Group a few days ago. The next day, they set out on their way back to the city.
Scott had already set off early to explore the front, leaving trails along the way to show the way to his teammates behind. Along the way, Shiebel surrounded Yi Hui and asked this and that, and even wanted to touch his black hair with his hand, but Occam glared at him and retracted his hand. Yi Hui still has a good impression of this lively and cheerful little girl. Sheebel didn't recognize that she was familiar with anyone, and she also took the initiative to teach Yi Hui to shoot arrows, Yi Hui shot a few arrows with great interest but couldn't get the idea of shooting the arrows crookedly for the time being, which made Sheebel laugh. Jinli could only walk slowly behind him due to his serious injuries, and the corners of his mouth were also curled upwards when he saw the messy Shibbel, who was like his sister in the mercenary group. Jinli looked back at a gloomy Occam and gave him a "I understand you" look. Occam walked at the back of the line, carrying their booty, muttering, "What is the point of the little girl's hand pointing at the head of the other." Thoughts like that are broken.
"Hey, such a big guy, but his heart is as verbose as the old aunt......" Jinli said intentionally or unintentionally, obviously for Occam.
"You kid ......." Occam blew his beard, his round bald head was slightly reddened with anger, but he couldn't say anything to refute for a while, and he hammered the ground with his shield in hatred, and the ground "thumped". In response, Kinley still shrugged his shoulders, a move that made Occam even angrier.
In the past few days with the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, Yi Hui felt quite happy and relaxed. The head of the regiment, Occam, is a cold man on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is cautious in everything, but if the team members have an accident, he will be able to do anything, and he can not die. He is a level 4 heavy samurai, and is the main tank that takes damage in the team. Jinli is a level 3 great sword warrior, and he is a major output position in battle, and he can attack boldly and boldly under the protection of Occam, but his desperate style of play is an extremely serious weakness for his personal safety. "Whatever, if even Occam falls, then the whole team won't have any chance to live. Giving Occam the back is still pretty reliable. Jin Li said to Yi Hui. As a level 3 thief, although Scott does not have many opportunities to appear in frontal battles, he is responsible for the collection of intelligence before the mission, the timely replenishment of positions in battle, and the logistics supply of the team on the march, etc., he is the chief accountant and logistics officer and outpost scout in the mercenary group. "There's no way, who told our mercenary group to be small, and the head of the regiment won't do these things." Scott could only sigh at his multitasking. Shibel is the youngest member of the mercenary group, the Hanseatic Empire's war with the northern nomadic Golden Horde caused her to leave her homeland and come to Grenoble to live on the streets, and was taken in by the kind Occam to become an archer of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, and her perennial life in the northern steppes of the empire made her bow and arrow level still remarkable, and recently she also obtained the qualification of a level 2 archer in the archer qualification exam. In the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, Yi Hui is like a big family, happy every day.
After three days of trekking through the forest, Yi Hui and the others returned to the location of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, a city located on the edge of the forest, Grenoble. Yi Hui learned that the world he is in now accounts for a considerable proportion of the entire continent, and the entire human society is still quite small compared to nature, no more than the earth he was on before he crossed over, and after several industrial revolutions, human beings have fully conquered nature. In the wild, there are still quite a lot of fierce beasts like the white-striped forest tiger, and some of them have evolved their intelligence, and they will even awaken some natural skills unique to the race. The location where Yi Hui crossed was fortunately at the opposite edge of the forest, and if he appeared directly in the lair of an abyssal dragon, he would basically be explained now. To survive in such a world, human beings have to build high walls on the periphery of cities, and human beings themselves also worship the strong and advocate force, almost one out of every five people has obtained various professional qualifications in various guilds, and half of every five professional qualifications are related to combat. Humans of incredible strength will choose to acquire qualifications such as warriors, while humans who are good at communicating the elements of magic will become mages and other professions, and both mediocre people will become craftsmen with specialized skills and live as knowledgeable scholars. Therefore, Scott has always expressed his incomprehension of the amazing concealment skills shown by Yi Hui, who does not have any professional qualifications.
"That's right if you don't understand, can I tell you that my 'invisible wings' skill is drawn by the system?" Yi Hui thought to himself. "By the way, when you settle down, you must take a good look at the next skill and see what it is."
"There's the city ahead, and there's the city of Grenoble." Jin Li pointed to the tall city wall not far away and said to Yi Hui. The city wall is magnificent, the corner towers of each arrow tower are scattered, and from time to time there are columns of soldiers patrolling back and forth with flags and weapons on the city wall. Yi Hui looked at such a tall city wall and secretly admired it in his heart, this city wall couldn't help but remind him of an anime work he had watched before, "Attack on Titan". Human beings are really tenacious, and no matter how harsh the environment is, human beings are still fighting tenaciously.
Yi Hui and the others were inspected by the guards as they passed through the city gate, and Occam showed the guards the documents of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, and the guards let them go. The guards couldn't help but take a few more glances at the black-haired and black-eyed Yi Hui, but there were more strange people coming and going in this city, so they let him go without any major problems.
All the buildings in the city of Grenoble are made of stone materials, and each house can be used as a battle fortress. In the center of the city is a huge square, and around the square are the professional unions of the various groups. Several main roads divide the city into eight blocks, each corresponding to the goods market of each class, and each block is divided into small blocks according to the subclass of the main class. The periphery is residential area, and there is no clear definition between the residential areas. The area along the city walls was home to the City Guards, who were stationed around 50,000 men throughout the city, who were the city's external defense. Under the emergency mobilization, all the inhabitants of the whole city can still mobilize a considerable number of militia troops, but Grenoble, which is located in the relatively rear, has no fighting in peacetime, and the residents are still actively engaged in production and life.
At a crossroads, Occam breaks up with the others, and he's going to the Mercenaries Guild to hand in a mission. The quest item for this mission is a tiger whip with the surname White-striped Forest Tiger, and the person who issued the quest is a certain noble lord in the central city of Grenoble. The entire tiger obtained by the Iron Shield Mercenary Group will be sold to the Mercenary Guild at 80% of the market price, except for the Tiger Whip required for the mission, and the Mercenary Guild will contact the buyer to deal with it, and at the same time add additional guild points to the Iron Shield Mercenary Group.
"After handing over this tiger, our guild should be able to successfully upgrade to a second-level guild, right?" On the way back to the group site, it has been changed to Jinli to lead the team.
"That's for sure, such a big tiger, the quest item is such a small part, and the rest should be able to sell for a lot of money." Shiebel nodded.
"Hey, hey, you don't know that the mission item is small, but it's really the most valuable part of the tiger!" Kinley said.
Sheebel wondered how such a small part could become the most precious part of a tiger's body.
"You'll understand when you're older." Yi Hui and the three of them looked at each other obscenely and smiled, no longer entangled in this problem.
"Why do you understand when you grow up, tell me now!" Sheebel continued to ask relentlessly, and it seemed that she couldn't figure out the question, and she couldn't sleep today.
"I won't tell you, hahahaha......"
After fighting all the way, the four of them came to the headquarters of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment in the mercenary area - a small four-story building with a courtyard inside. At the entrance hangs the emblem of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, which is the large tower shield used by Occam, and the surface of the tower shield is painted with two clasped hands together. Under the emblem is written "Iron Shield Mercenary Group", and there is an advertisement at the door: The Iron Shield Mercenary Group recruits members all year round.
"How long have you been recruiting people in your group, why are there still the four of you?" Yi Hui asked.
Scott shook his head helplessly and said, "It's been almost a year since this was recruited, and no one has been recruited except for Shibel, who was admitted to the group." ”
"Why? Has anyone joined after recruiting for so long? Yi Hui continued to ask.
Jin Li said as he walked: "It's not Occam's guy yet, we are too familiar with him to have no choice, and the people who come to sign up for the group can't stand Occam's kind of interrogation of checking the household registration, as well as those cumbersome and meticulous rules." While saying that, Jinli found a chair and sat down by himself, and after pouring himself a glass of water, Jinli held the glass and continued, "Originally, I persuaded Scott and I many times, okay, recruit people first, and then get along slowly, he wants to find the guy who has an appetite for him as soon as he comes up, and he has never seen a man like him as a mother-in-law and mother." What do you say, 'The person recruited is not suitable, it will affect the team's cooperation', please, how can there be a person who cooperates tacitly. ”
At this time, Shibel came up again and said to Yi Hui, "Hey, black-haired brother, do you want to join our mercenary group?" ”
