It just so happens that Atrix's new wife is working as a teller in the Silverblood family's treasury. Through her guidance, I managed to meet the Eulogist Inva, the singer in charge of the formation of the dragon-slaying force, a Nord man with a huge steel warhammer on his back.

"Do you have any specialties, young man?"

I went straight to the point and expressed to him my desire to join the dragon slaying team, and the singer Inva got straight to the point and made his request to me.

"Specialty......

In the next "talent show", I took a silver coin out of my pocket and magically melted it into a ring in front of him.

However, Inva the Singer did not approve of my magical abilities, he smiled contemptuously and made a slightly mean assessment, "We are going to be facing a dragon, and you are performing this trick on me, meaning that you can turn the dragon into a fat sheep in this way?" Let's show me something useful. ”

By useful techniques, he should be referring to methods that can directly inflict damage on dragons. It's just that I can't use the destruction magic that can be used for direct killing, and using the dragon's roar in the powerhouse of the Silverblood Family doesn't seem like a friendly act, so I asked the Nord strong man in front of me to break his wrist.

……

After three and two blows, Inva the Singer was unable to defeat me with the strength of his arm, which made him finally put away his contempt for me.

"Heh, I really didn't see it, your strength is quite strong, I thought the big sword on your back was just pretending."

"So you mean, I was chosen?"

"Hmm. You've passed. ”

Inva the Hymn shook his slightly numb right hand out of thin air for a moment, then pulled out two papers from the counter and began to write. I also took the opportunity to ask him some questions.

"By the way, can I ask you a question?"

"Say."

"Why do you have the title of 'Praiser'?"

"Because I am a troubadour who studied in Dugu City," replied the singer Ingwa without raising his head, "but this job did not stay with me for long, for I found that I could earn much more money as a thug than I could earn as a broken piano and sing as a violin." And, under the protection of the Silverbloods, I can legally use violence without fear of the intervention of the guards, which is exactly what I wanted. ”

Well, this guy's declaration is really arrogant. It's just that I don't know whether his arrogance is used to bully the weak or to fight bravely. Hopefully, he'll be able to keep that momentum in the face of dragons in the future.

"As an associate member of the Dragon Slayer Force, can I ask how we will fight the dragons in the future?"

"You're not qualified to know."

It seems that as a newcomer, my reputation with the other party is still cold. Inva the Praiser glanced up at me and coldly left out a non-commentable reply. Then hand me the three mercenary contracts that he had signed. Let me sign my name one by one.

All right. Anyway, let's sign the fake name I'm currently using.

……

"Ryada, is the matter of dragon slaying in the hands of this singer Inva?"

After signing the mercenary agreement, there is no reason for me to continue to stay inside the Silverblood Vault. I went back to the front desk. It just so happened that it was time for Atries' new wife to change shifts, so I chatted with her on the way home.

"Yes, he is the Patriarch's right-hand man, and he also has a high reputation in the mercenary community of Marcus City."

"Do you know anything about their upcoming dragon slaying operation?"

"Of course, slaying a dragon is a big deal, and the staff in the treasury occasionally discuss something about it when they are chatting."

"Do you know what kind of means they are going to use to fight the dragon?"

"It should rely on the bravery of everyone."

Ryada explained to me in detail their strengths. Marcus City is located at the junction of the three provinces of High Rock, Red Guard, and Skyrim, and is home to the Nords, Imperials, Redguards, Brightons, and Orcs...... People from all walks of life gathered here, coupled with the wealthy patrons of the Silverblood Family and the undercurrents of many powerful forces in the territory, this makes Marcus City known as the City of Mercenaries in addition to the name of the Great Stone City, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that the mercenaries here are the best in the whole sky.

"But...... No matter how brave a mortal is, he is no match for the dragon. ”

"That's true," Ryada nodded in agreement with my opinion, and gave me some new information, "I've been on an errand in the Treasury of Silverblood, and I've finally picked up some rumors. You may not know that the purpose of this dragon slaying is not simple. ”

"Isn't the purpose simple?" After putting myself in the shoes of the Silverblood Family, I asked Ryada, "Could it be that the Silverblood Family wants this force to do some other operations besides slaying dragons?" ”

"On the contrary," Ryada smiled and shook her head, "the true purpose of the Silverblood Family is that they don't want this group of people to do anything else. ”

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

"There are too many mercenaries in the city, and if it were in normal times, the Silverblood family would be able to suppress or buy them with their own strength. Now that the turmoil has been born, the Silverblood family has lost some of their vitality in the last riot, and the semi-paralyzed state of the Hidana mine has also made the operation of the funds somewhat ...... Ahem, sorry, these should have been classified, anyway, the Silverblood family didn't want this group of mercenaries who were temporarily out of control to cause any trouble at this juncture. ”

According to Ryada, the most important purpose of the Silverblood Family is not to slay dragons at all, but to let these mercenaries who have nothing to do find something to do - it doesn't matter how many people die, anyway, when the turnover of funds is restored, mercenaries from other places will still flow to this city flowing with blood and silver. As for what kind of tactics should be used to slay the dragon and whether it would succeed in the end, the Silverblood Family did not put much thought into it, after all, the facilities it attacked were only a small part of all the industries operated by the Silverblood Family, and it was not worth putting the most precious energy into them.

I have to say that the Silverblood family is very thoughtful, and for them this is a flawless and flawless plan. It's just that this is not what I want to see, I don't have time to mess around with them or give away heads, I have to get the dragon's soul in my hands, so I have to find a way to make this mercenary team have enough power to defeat that dragon.

"Who is the superior of Inva the Singer? I mean, if the dragon slayer team can go one step further in their mission under the leadership of another person, who is qualified to replace him? Tell me where that person is, and I'll lobby him. (To be continued......)
