015 Took office

015

Under the leadership of Ruby, Han Feng came to the headquarters of the garrison in New Sopig Town, and the situation in front of him surprised him, and said in a tone that this was the headquarters of the garrison, rather than a vegetable market.

In the courtyard of the scale, the merchants were bargaining with the people of the garrison patrol, and Ruby explained with a smile: "In the extraordinary times of the war, the money and food are used to recruit soldiers to fight, and we need to earn all our money by ourselves, escort the caravan, provide them with protection or something." ”

"Didn't you say that our kings were kings of sages? How could this happen? Han Feng said a little puzzled.

Ruby sighed: "King Allenfei is a sage, but it is extremely difficult to defeat the three major forces by himself, and people are already good in terms of the iron fist of the knight country, and those races in the rest of the countries are said to be all soldiers, and all the national strength is invested in the war."

See? Although there are three million people in our town, most of them are old and weak women and children who have migrated from the front-line cities, otherwise they would not have recruited only 5,000 soldiers. ”

"The head of the city changes the banner of the king, these wars are killed and killed, and the people who suffer are always the people at the bottom!" Han Feng didn't know where this sentence came from, and blurted it out almost without thinking.

Ruby patted Han Feng on the shoulder with emotion and said nothing, received five gold coins from a clerk and stuffed them into Han Feng's hands, "Brother Han Feng, you just settled down, you have all this month's salary, come to the school in the backyard of the garrison early tomorrow morning to report!" ”

Leaving all the mess behind, Han Feng returned to the legendary murderous mansion, which was his new home, and when Gwyneth saw the golden five gold coins, she also cheered. Little woman, when is it a little woman, even Gwyneth, who has mastered the power of mysterious magic now, is no exception, pulling Han Feng out to shop in the town, and the empty home is quickly refreshed and has a strong family flavor under her careful procurement and decoration.

Early the next morning, Han Feng said goodbye to Gwyneth and appeared on time on the school field of the garrison, Ruby pointed to the three people on the left side of the queue and said, "Han Feng, from today onwards, you will be the captain of the fifty-first squad!" ”

When he saw his subordinates clearly, Han Feng cried out sadly in his heart: "Damn! Only three uncle-level subordinates in their fifties? ”

"Wait! Captain Ruby, isn't there a ten-person formation in each squad? Han Feng hurriedly shouted to stop.

The people on the school field burst into laughter, and Ruby said with a smile: "Our patrol team can only provide the salaries of the captain and three subordinates and a full set of weapons and equipment for each squad, as for the rest of the manpower, equipment and their salaries, they can only rely on themselves to earn it, understand?" ”

"In other words, if I make enough money, I can recruit unlimited henchmen?" Han Feng asked very seriously.

Ruby and the others laughed even more happily, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, patted Han Feng on the shoulder and said, "That's right!" If you can recruit 100 men, you can be promoted to squadron leader, of course, theoretically when you recruit more men than me, then you can be promoted to the position of patrol captain 2! ”

Han Feng returned silently, and after a short time, a soldier ran out of the warehouse out of breath, holding only a long sword, a shield, a longbow and nearly a hundred arrows, and a pair of heart goggles.

Ruby said embarrassedly: "Squad Leader Han Feng, given that your size is too burly, there is no armor in the garrison warehouse that you can use, so..."

Han Feng stepped forward and took these weapons and said freely: "It's okay, it's enough to have these weapons!", secretly laughing in his heart, "The black bear's claws can't tear through my body, although I don't know why, but it's much stronger than your bulky armor, right?" ”

"That's it! Now each squad leader comes forward to receive today's patrol route, by the way, what can be done with the task, remember to pay half of the gold after completing the task! Ruby took the sword in his hand and tapped the large wooden board behind him, on which hung the sheepskin scrolls.

From the mouths of the veterans behind him, Han Feng knew that after the businessmen handed over the entrustment of the escort here, each patrol team could choose one of the commissions after completing their own patrol tasks, and half of the profits earned would go to the garrison, and half would be distributed by each team itself.

Han Feng's team number is the penultimate number, when it is his turn to step forward, the good patrol route and entrusted tasks have been completely obtained, and the patrol route is only between the town of New Sopig and the seaport on the east side, and there are just two tasks in the entrusted mission to escort the caravan to the harbor, and the pay is not bad, and each mission has ten gold coins to take.

Since he was on the way, Han Feng didn't want to reach out and take the three parchment rolls in his hand, but found that many colleagues were looking at him like monsters, and the three veterans in his team were even more exaggerated, almost colleagues covered their stomachs and snorted bitterly at Han Feng: "Captain, my stomach is not very good, please allow me to take a day off..."

Seeing their painful appearance, Han Feng did not doubt him, waved his hand and let the three of them disband and go home, and after everyone walked out of the school field, Ruby hesitated for a while and said that Han Feng stayed, "Brother Han Feng, do you know why everyone didn't take this task?" On the way to the harbor, there are a large number of big-eared monster bandits, as well as a lot of sheep song cult villains, and from time to time there are flying monsters flowing from the sea, otherwise you will postpone today's patrol mission! ”

"Is that okay?" Han Feng said in amazement.

Ruby said embarrassedly: "Originally, there was no one patrolling on this line, and I have been preparing to recruit people to take on this responsibility, but I didn't expect to recruit four people just now, and I didn't expect this group of guys to give you no face at all, and handed over this most difficult patrol task to you... You may not know that if you can't complete the daily patrol mission, you will have to deduct the day's salary, and they all choose the route they are most familiar with, and this new mission can only fall on the last group of numbers! ”

"If I can't complete the patrol mission in a month, won't I get a penny?" Han Feng said with a frown.

Ruby said with a strange face: "Of course, if you can recruit enough people within this month, or recruit the next squad leader like you, you can let them complete this task, and you choose another route before them~"

“......”

Under Ruby's repeated kind reminders, Han Feng still wordlessly turned around and walked out of the school with three scrolls, and came to the hotel to find the two teams of businessmen according to the entrusted task list, indicating his identity.

"Why can't you trust me?" Han Feng said with an unkind face, "Lao Tzu has fought tigers in Nanshan, and Xiong has been killed in Xishan, look at this!" As he spoke, he grabbed a pebble from the ground next to him and squeezed it hard, breaking it into two pieces.

The leaders of the two teams of merchants couldn't help but jump their eyebrows, and one of the leaders said with a bitter face: "My lord, there is no doubt about your bravery, but in the face of the swarming robbers, I'm afraid you can't find so many carts and horses!" ”

"Looks like you want to repay the debt, let me and my brothers run for nothing, right?" Han Feng said viciously.

The two team leaders looked at the empty street behind Han Feng, where did they come from, what 'brothers' came from, thinking about Han Feng's one-handed gravel ability just now, they handed over five gold coins in a cold sweat, and said tremblingly: "Captain, because we have something temporary, we have to stay for a while, so we have to breach the contract, this half is the agreed liquidated damages, please smile!" ”

Han Feng put away the ten gold coins with satisfaction, returned to the team headquarters and paid the fine for failing to complete the task today, as well as half of the liquidated damages of the merchants, and walked home. As he pondered how to complete this damn patrol tomorrow, a commotion drew him in.

In front of the hotel near the city gate on the north side of New Sopige Town, a group of ruffians were smashing a ragged guy, Han Feng walked over curiously and inquired, and heard an old woman shake her head and sigh: "This beggar-like person actually claimed to be a priest in public, and wanted to exempt the entrance fee to the city by virtue of the name of the priest, but he couldn't even perform a healing spell, so the people of the garrison threw this liar to the ruffians to deal with~"

"Stop!"

Han Feng looked at the unlucky guy who was beaten and was dying, and stepped forward to stop the ruffians, when they saw the squad leader badge pinned to Han Feng's chest, the ruffians retreated with interest, and saw that the guards at the city gate were a little unhappy, Han Feng then took out a silver coin and threw it over, and walked home with the unlucky bastard.

When she opened the door, Gwyneth was startled when she saw Han Feng with a guy covered in blood, and hurriedly came up to take a hand and mixed the unlucky guy into the house. After taking a sip of water, the unlucky guy slowly recovered a little bit of vitality, and said with a strong spirit: "Thank you two good Samaritans for saving me, can you go to the nearby temple or alchemist shop to buy a curse exorcism scroll, I have a very serious curse, and my strength is sealed by the evil magic curse..."

Gwyneth said with a grim face: "This gentleman, any scroll and other land things need at least four or five gold coins, we are afraid..."

The unlucky guy's eyes suddenly became gloomy when he heard this, for some reason, the lonely look in the unlucky guy's eyes had a hero's doomed look, Han Feng hesitated and handed over the five gold coins he earned today to Gwynnis and said, "Wife, take the money and buy a scroll for this gentleman!" ”

The kind-hearted Gwyneth took the money and ran out of the house quickly, Han Feng squinted his eyes and asked, "Mr. Pastor, the scroll will come soon, you must know that these gold coins are already all our belongings, can you introduce yourself, or contact any relatives and friends to repay us?" ”

The unlucky man sighed and said: "I'm afraid I can only disappoint you, my name is Quston Hasvaun, I am a priest in the kingdom of Erathia in the distant continent of Entagre, I was raised by the church since I was a child, I traveled around, I didn't expect to encounter pirates and storms a few days ago, and my magical energy was sealed by the evil offshore mermaid mage, and now I can only pay for my human debt with flesh..."

Saying that, Hasvaughn also glanced at Han Feng with resentment, and the latter suddenly felt a chill on his body. Goosebumps crackled down, "Entagre Continent, Erathia Kingdom, why does it sound familiar?" Han Feng said secretly in his heart, but when he thought about it, his mind would be dizzy, so he had to shake his head and throw these aside.

"Reverend, huh? You owe me five gold coins, and at your current salary, you'll have to serve in my patrol for half a year to pay it off!" Han Feng said to himself.

The unlucky guy Hasvaughn didn't know the market on the Enlos Continent, and he became the fourth patrol member under Han Feng in a daze, and when the later Sun God Sect Cardinal Hasvaughn talked about this past, he was still haunted, but he also privately said that without this experience, I am afraid that he will never have a bright future.

After a short time, Gwyneth ran back in a sweat and handed the scroll to Hasvan's hand, who said with a strange expression: "Beautiful young lady, do you want a person whose magical energy is completely sealed to activate it?" ”

Gwyneth's face turned red, she retracted her hand, and activated the scroll according to the method taught by the temple priest just now, a pale golden divine light flashed, and Hasvaughn was enveloped in it, bursts of pitch-black smoke came out of his body, slowly dissipating into the air, and the whole process lasted about ten minutes before it ended.

Haswon's expression was obviously much better, and he smiled and asked with a smile after regaining some energy: "Captain, look at your air, our patrol team is not very well-manned, why don't you arrange my sister-in-law in?" She is a magician, a real magician, this identity is enough to win her a good official position, if she joins, our combat power will definitely increase exponentially! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how can you put your sister-in-law in danger?" Han Feng angrily rewarded Hasvan with a chestnut, and the latter had to obediently shut his mouth.

When Gwyneth heard this, she said happily: "Big man, what he said makes sense, you are a warrior and an archer, he is a priest, I am a magician, this luxurious combination often appears in knight novels~"

"Chivalric novels?" Han Feng asked a little dazed.

Gwyneth replied with a smile: "What dragon slayer warriors, Prince Green Horse, etc., that's what is written in the books~"

"Hehe~ To put it bluntly, those are boring things written to deceive those girl's tears and money, but the truth is still right~" Hasvaughn said with a smile.

Han Feng thought for a while and rejected this tempting idea, and said with a serious face: "Wife, I don't seem to be very skilled in your magic, you have to be busy for a long time to throw a bright fire out, if you encounter an emergency, you must be in a hurry~ If you want to go, you have to wait until your level improves!" ”

Gwyneth muttered a small mouth in strong protest and resolutely objected, but in exchange for Han Feng's smile and silence.

In this way, the unlucky guy Hasvaughn spent the night in the kitchen, and after the divine energy recovered a little, he performed several healing spells on himself, and the wounds on his body were almost all healed, washing away the dirt on his face, revealing a somewhat priestly demeanor, and the fly in the ointment was that the clothes were too tattered.

In view of the fact that Han Feng and Hasvaughn were already poor, Han Feng sounded the set of armor that the garrison owed to him yesterday because of his inappropriate figure, pulled Hasvoughn to the garrison, and pulled out a new set of light armor from the warehouse, although it was said to be light armor, but it weighed more than 30 catties, which made the latter grin.

"I said boss, do you dare not let me wear such heavy armor, it's not convenient to use magic at all!" Hasvaughn cried out bitterly.

Han Feng chose to ignore this, "Your small body will have to be hung up after a few hits on the battlefield, I don't want to die like this with my subordinates who I finally received, declare in advance, I won't take the money to go to the temple to resurrect you if you die!! ”

Hasvann followed the unscrupulous boss to the barracks with a sad face, that is, where he, a bachelor, would live in the future, with food and lodging a month, as long as five silver coins, which could be regarded as a small benefit to the guards who did not have a family.

Han Feng invited the three uncle-level subordinates who used the excuse of flashing people yesterday over, first cared about their bodies with a pleasant face, and then said with a wrenched face: "As the last garrison team, most of the patrols on the line will fall on our heads in the future, and if we go on like this, we won't get any salary every month, do you have any good way?" ”

"Captain, the three of us are here today to resign...", an old patrolman led by him said gloomily.

Han Feng originally wanted to reprimand them, but seeing this scene, he couldn't bear it, these fifty-year-old uncle-level patrolmen had to come to find this errand in order to support their families, if they were driven back like this, their family would definitely live a more difficult life.

"In this way, the three of you will leave your weapons and armor, what about the salary, and receive a gold coin every month for the time being, and then pay you the full salary when the team recruits enough people to tide over the difficulties, how about paying you the full salary?" Han Feng took a compromise plan.

The old patrolmen glanced at each other, and the oldest one couldn't help but say: "My lord, if we can't complete the daily patrol, the team will not have the slightest income, and we will not be happy to take money for nothing like this!" ”

Han Feng said with a smile: "Your salary is not taken for nothing, every day when you have time, help me walk around the town to see if there are any strange things, or there are no tasks such as hiring guards, hehe~ bypassing the garrison, we will earn twice as much money, and then your salary will be available?" Well done, I'll give you dividends! ”

The eyes of the three old patrol soldiers lit up, and they would get money to inquire about the news, and they would have a share if they did a good job, and they hurriedly agreed to this kind of good thing, and walked out of the camp happily.

Han Feng picked out a mace from the equipment left by the three of them and handed it to Hasvaun, leading him to start his first patrol after taking office, and when they walked out of the city gate, they didn't notice a petite figure secretly following them...
