Chapter 122: Mercenaries
"I didn't do anything...... Sitting in the car, Ji Li covered her head that had been knocked a lot, and pouted: "Cut, I was looking forward to it in vain." ”
Sigma ignored this hopelessly rotten commodity in his heart, took the scroll, opened it and glanced at it casually, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't let you pick up the garbage and come back, but you picked up a dung bucket to collect debts?" This kind of thing that even the ** gangsters on the street can do well, let's do it? Don't you get your hands dirty? ”
He thought about it, but shook his head: "Forget it, the most important thing now is to earn enough money for the journey...... Debt collection is debt collection, which store or chamber of commerce owes debts? The method for them is very simple, first get some dead rats, dog blood, and dung and throw them into their nests, until the bodyguards they hired can't help but rush out and want to beat us, and then we beat them out in turn, and then throw dead rats and dogs blood and dung into them, and so on, and so on, and in less than three rounds, they have to kneel...... Don't worry, you don't have to do it then, I'm very familiar with this business. ”
Gilly chuckled, turned her head, and gestured to the scroll in Sigma's hand, motioning for the necromancer to take a closer look.
Sigma unfolded the scroll suspiciously, looked at it seriously and quickly, and his face suddenly sank: "...... It turned out to be a dung bucket you dug out of the garbage heap, and the target of the debt collection was a hopelessly poor sour gambler, with a reward of ten silver coins, and the entrusting party was the village church? No wonder this bucket was thrown by your colleague. ”
"No, no." Sigma bluntly rejected Kieley and threw the scroll back, "I don't have a problem with you wanting to wipe your colleague's ass, but it's none of my business, if you want to do it, you can do it yourself......"
"And then while I'm on my way to complete the mission, and Athena takes the opportunity to run away and dump me?" Kirly squinted and smiled.
"It's good to know, as a dead skin and a dog skin plaster that is upside down, you must have the consciousness of kraft candy, and don't make trouble for the owner all day long." Sigma squinted and said, "This debt collection task takes a lot of time and has little reward, and the other party is still a poor ghost, maybe there is something unspeakable, and when the time comes, you will be sympathetic, not only to lose the honorarium, but also to find other people's money......"
Ji Li shook her head, a trace of anger flashed on her face, "There is no unspeakable hidden, I already know the cause and effect of the incident very clearly, the fault is all in the man who can't support the wall in the mud, he has lived up to the trust of others......"
Sigma stretched out her hand and interrupted Kelly's explanation: "No matter how clear I am, I don't want to hear it, you better find a reasonable excuse that can convince me, otherwise if you don't take it, you won't answer, I'm not interested in how much of a bastard this man is." ”
"Oh." Gilly replied crisply, and then pointed to Athena, who was leaning next to Sigma to study the quest scroll, "The reason I took this quest is for Athena!" ”
"I'll give you seventy-five points for your skills." Sigma raised an eyebrow, motioning for her to continue flickering.
Ji Li looked at Athena, with a seductive look: "Athena, do you want to be a mercenary?" ”
"Mercenaries?" The angel tilted his head, "What's that?" ”
Sigma replied succinctly, "It's just a bunch of guys who take money and have no position." ”
"It's not!" Kirly glared at Sigmar before whispering softly to Athena, "Aren't you struggling with how to re-establish a relationship of trust and identity with the Holy Sword?" I think it's a good way to do it......"
"Reconnect with the Holy Sword?" Athena looked at Sigma: "We seem to have found a better way just now, and that is ......"
Sigma suddenly laughed, glared at the angel secretly, told her to shut her mouth, and then said to Jiri, "Let Athena be a mercenary who can't afford to lick blood from the knife's edge?" Your joke isn't so small. ”
Ji Li looked at Athena and Sigma suspiciously, remembered the abnormality of the two, and then raised her eyebrows and retorted: "It seems that His Highness has lived in the pioneer land for a long time and has dealt with the mercenaries there for too long, so he has misunderstood the mercenaries of the Empire. It is true that those mercenaries fought for money and power, participated in the bloody competition of the West, and there were even a large number of large cities and giant ore veins in the frontier lands controlled by the mercenary groups, and they seemed to have lost themselves long ago, no different from those free mercenaries - but not all mercenaries were like this. ”
The paladin looked at the angel with a puzzled face, smiled and explained: "The concept of mercenaries has appeared a long time ago, and when there is a difference in the amount of individuals, the relationship between hiring and being hired comes into being, but not all mercenaries are hired to kill and fight, maybe this is the case in the pioneering land, but the Holy Empire has been peaceful for a long time, and the economy is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and mercenaries will no longer receive 'go to dangerous places to collect life-saving medicinal materials' or' Defeat the monsters in the forest' is so old that it has become the plot of a novel, and even the tasks of escorts and bodyguards have gradually been robbed of jobs by professional security teams, but even so, mercenaries are still alive. ”
She stared at the mercenary union in this town through the car window, and smiled: "Rescue the frightened pet cat from the tree, go to the city to deliver a letter, even be a temporary helper for the family's farm work for a day, go to the dock to help unload the goods, serve as a narrator and escort for the field course of the church school, and even be invited to support the scene when there is a dispute between the villages, help my son get a more interesting gift, want to eat well-known food in other towns, the mission notice board in the mercenary guild in this town, most of the stickers are this kind of thing, The same is true for other places...... It's ridiculous, but in my opinion, the greatest mercenaries are not the diamond-level mercenaries who have great power in the West to expand their territory and occupy the territory, but these little mercenaries who can only take on these low-level tasks for almost their entire lives, and when they reach a certain age, they will get married and have children and find another way out. It's these almost insignificant, laughable, but huge numbers of small tasks......"
She turned her head, looked at Athena, and said softly: "The greatest significance and foundation of the mercenary guild's existence in the world is these little mercenaries who can only do low-level tasks all their lives. They are large in number and full of enthusiasm, although they can only be a small mercenary in their lives, they take it seriously as their own business, and they will do their best to complete any ridiculous commission, and they will not give up no matter how troublesome the commission...... They make up for the deficiencies of the administrative system and the work of the Church, act as a lubricant between the people and the clerical kingship, and they are silent, but they are doing the greatest cause, which is to make others happy......"
The paladin looked directly into Athena's eyes and said solemnly: "So, I propose to you as a paladin with mercenary qualifications, if you really want to regain the recognition of the Holy Sword, then please experience life as a little mercenary, after all, what they do is actually the same as the wishes of His Highness Sigmar......"
"I see, that's the idea you're hitting." Sigma quietly listened to Ji Li's words, and said loudly, "The Mercenary Guild claims to be permanently neutral in the internal affairs of mankind, and its composition is very complex, and in order to suppress the ** and deterioration from within to the greatest extent, it has always adhered to the strictest access system. If a person wants to join the mercenary guild, he must be recommended by three local celebrities, including a priest, a warrior or spellcaster of good reputation, and a respected nobleman or scholar. ”
"That's right, since I also promised to help Her Highness Athena, I should naturally do my best." Kieli looked at Athena, "Please make a decision." ”
The angel sets his consulting gaze on Sigma.
Sigma smiled softly at her, "It's up to you to decide, no matter what, I'll help you." ”
Athena nodded, "Hmm." ”
