Chapter 13: Hook up
The mercenaries in the bar don't forget what happened this morning; Not to mention Ye Qi's bag of Kimpton, just knocking the ill-intentioned mercenary unconscious and stripping him of his equipment is enough to make Ye Qi a popular figure among mercenaries during this period of time; Not to mention, the deal with the bartender at the bar at the end of the day - although it is not clear how much Ye Qi made in the end, but at this moment, the selling price of the news in Ye Qi's mouth in the bar has been marked at 10 Kimpton; The price is enough to say something.
Although the head of Zhilu Dao is still taken by the owner behind the bar, Ye Qi, who drank the first sip of soup, is still jealous of most of the mercenaries; After all, compared to the fact that the other party has safely obtained an unknown amount of Kimpton, they not only have to spend Kimpton, but also have to risk the possible benefits; Compared with Ye Qi who took the first bite of soup, it was like eating leftovers, especially when he thought that the person behind the bar must have set off for the first scene at this moment, and these mercenaries who were not even qualified to participate couldn't help but hate Ye Qi more and more.
10 Kimptons is a lot of money for a mercenary who has never been in the habit of accumulating savings; Almost the top of the top is a full bonus for a lower-to-middle task; Unless, unless, they take out their weapons and equipment and sell them; But these mercenaries, who are not stupid, know very well how undesirable such an act of killing chickens and eggs is—how can a mercenary without weapons continue to mingle in the Thousand Swamp District; It's not worth it for a task that doesn't know how to benefit!
With such an idea, a part of the mercenaries who did not have financial support. Immediately left the bar. Coming out of sight and out of mind - for mercenaries except for alcohol. The rest are women; In fact, the Chinuma Ward Market was originally a real trading street, which gradually appeared in response to the needs of the market, but under the strict control of the market manager, it was well separated from the local settlements and became another 'prosperous' street along the commercial street.
For the lucky guy who met Ye Qi here, these mercenaries were not surprised; After all. If they get a big windfall, after leaving the bar, the destination they choose will definitely be here; But seeing the poisonous widow's shouting at Ye Qi really surprised these mercenaries - they had been in the Thousand Swamp District for several years, but they knew very well how fierce this woman who seemed weak and harmless on the surface was behind the scenes; In particular, the other party still has a force that cannot be underestimated; Basically, it's one of the beings that all mercenaries don't want to provoke except for the guy behind the bar; After all, the owner behind the bar will leave you with a corpse, and the poisonous widow will eat you to the bone.
This guy actually offended the poisonous widow!
The mercenaries glanced at each other, and immediately became active - the owners behind the bar did not dare to be jealous. didn't even dare to disobey the rules set by the boss, even those who knew that they could buy the news. Inquire about it, and pay a slightly lower price to get the content of the news; And they were also brave and unwilling to Ye Qi before, but after discovering the poisonous widow's clamor for Ye Qi, these people had new ideas.
Adventures can be said to be commonplace for mercenaries, but any person in their right mind will cherish their own lives - and these mercenaries who followed Ye Qi were immediately in the 'between life and death' missions after participating in several missions 'between life and death'. Between life and death, they will cherish their lives very much, except for tasks that they are absolutely sure of, they will never take them, and when they encounter tasks that other teams look at, they will also evaluate the strength of the other party; if they exceed them, these people will directly greet them with a smile and give up the task; if their strength is not as good as theirs, these people will be like wolves on the grassland, jumping up, blurring the flesh and blood torn by the other party, and swallowing them one by one.
Such existence abounds among mercenaries, and even most of the mercenaries are in such a state; Therefore, instead of being ashamed, they are complacent; Especially the mercenaries who followed Ye Qi; After all, underneath them, there is a 'Coward', 'Coward', and 'Scavenger' named Edward, who is the brave man of the troubadour's mouth.
Therefore, these people are also the people who despise Edward the most, and even, the traps and robbing rewards set by Edward several times are also the handiwork of these mercenaries; And now, they set their sights on Ye Qi - in the morning bar before, Ye Qi cleaned up the guy who often did the same thing as them very neatly, so that they knew very well that Ye Qi was not weak; But what does it matter, you must know that they have four people, and the other party is only one person; If it weren't for the fear that doing something to the other party would cause dissatisfaction among the owners behind the bar, they would have followed each other out after they left the bar.
For the mercenary who created benefits for himself, the owner behind the bar, he was very caring and generous; Even, they will help at critical moments - and this is what makes the mercenaries of the Sennuma District more fearful and awe of the owner behind the bar; After all, no one knows how bad luck they will be, and it is undoubtedly reassuring to have such a backer behind him.
The mercenaries in the bar were not blind, looking at the bartender at the bar smiling at Ye Qi, he naturally guessed that this lucky guy had won the favor of the owner behind the bar; It was even more enviable to have this favor than the bag Kimpton he had got—in the morning, of course, but now?
blended into the crowd, and the four mercenaries who quietly followed behind Ye Qi couldn't help but smile cruelly - offended the poisonous widow, even if she died, no one would inquire or pay attention; Just throw the body into the swamp and dispose of the scene; Not even the owner behind the bar would ask a drug widow for a 'stranger'.
And as long as the other party dies. Kimpton on him......
Think of that bag full of money. Ratting Kimpton. The hearts of the four mercenaries could not help but become more and more eager, and even the most basic vigilance had been lost, and they did not even notice that they had walked to the corner of the bazaar—this was not where the natives of the Chinuma District lived; The place to the back of the small building in the bazaar is where the natives of Chinuma District lived, and the two sides of the front, apart from the trade and the special 'prosperous' street, were the places where the merchants and men lived; There are also special buildings in Sennuma Ward, such as tree houses, but. Most of them are tents.
And here, during the day, when business is hot on the trade streets, naturally there will be no people, and even the camp where the tents are set up is only a few stakes - carrying tents with them has become a habit of merchants after some merchants have lost a few tents, of course, the people of Chinuma District, who are rustic in these respects, do not do such things, but there are mercenaries wandering around; In this regard, the businessmen who have suffered losses can only consider themselves unlucky.
As for keeping someone to guard it?
A tent is obviously not enough to make the merchants decide to spend such an 'expensive' labor; The profit they made in one day on Trade Street was enough to buy ten tents; Though. These guys take only one percent of the proceeds.
In the open space, the wooden stakes used to bolt tents in the field were tied one after another in the green grass, and the green grass that was originally dense to the grass was crushed and crooked because of the camping of merchants at night, like the grass nests of pheasants; In fact, most people call this wide clearing a grass nest; The merchants who live here don't have any right to this, and they undoubtedly care more about Kimpton than this kind of name that is just very consistent and figurative.
I actually came to the grass nest, so ......
The four mercenaries who were closely following behind Ye Qi, after one of the leaders gave a thumbs up and gestured between their throats, they immediately showed a fierce light in their eyes at the same time, and couldn't wait to pounce on Ye Qi - there was undoubtedly no one in the grass nest during the day; For the natives, this is the residence of the merchants, which belongs to the place that has been leased, and they will not come; For businessmen, there is no doubt that their daytime energy should be put into their legitimate 'profession', rather than in their 'home'.
As for those 'tourists' in Sennuma Ward?
The status of the rich undoubtedly makes them pay less attention to this place, and would rather spend a lot of money to live in a local treehouse than sleep in a tent, and their energy during the day is naturally on the trade street; Therefore, there is no single figure in the whole grass nest area, except for the flying insects and the occasional bird or two that fall down to hunt.
It's really a great place to kill and rob goods!
Ye Qi looked at the four mercenaries who pounced on him with a smile on his face.
……
"Your Excellency, I have already disposed of the corpse!"
A man with a figure matching Ye Qi stood in front of Ye Qi and said respectfully.
And Ye Qi, who had returned to his original appearance, but covered most of his face with the hood of his windbreaker, and only showed one chin, looked up and down at the 'stand-in' in front of him; after a long time, he couldn't help but nod - I have to admit that the chameleon's subordinates do have considerable attainments in modifying and changing their appearance, if it weren't for seeing the other party make such an effect with some oil paint, glue and flour, Ye Qi would have thought that the other party also had a human skin mask similar to the chameleon handed to him.
Of course, in addition to the recognition of the chameleon's subordinates' ability to modify and disguise, the other party's ability to do things is also quite good - before, after he solved the four mercenaries, the other party appeared in front of him with his 'stand-in', and then, he quickly started finishing work with this stand-in; Of course, it is not possible to deal with the corpse directly in the bazaar, but as long as it is transported out, there is no problem, and the channel for transporting it is definitely not a problem for this chameleon's subordinates.
"Grab these things and go to the bazaar to find some reasonably priced places to sell them!" Ye Qi pointed to the weapons and equipment left by the four mercenaries and said to his 'stand-in': "These are the rewards you have helped me!" ”
"This, this ......"
As a stand-in for 'Finger', after hearing Ye Qi's words, he was stunned. Then instinctively looked at the weapons and equipment; But. In the next moment, he looked at his leader - the most valuable thing on the mercenaries was undoubtedly their weapons and equipment. Although the weapons and equipment of the four mercenaries in front of them are not the best because of their own 'life strategy' problems, they are also of a medium level; especially the sum of the four people, it is definitely a rare wealth for ordinary people; at least, if the ordinary people in the Qiannuma District are allowed to obtain this wealth, then they will not have to run for their livelihood for at least a few years.
As a subordinate of the poisonous widow, although his life is not as difficult as that of the natives of the Thousand Pond District, he is faced with such a windfall equal to the sum of his 'subsidies' in the past two years. It is false to say that you are not tempted; However, this subordinate selected by the poisonous widow undoubtedly has his own reason, unlike ordinary mercenaries who are open-minded and greedy-he looks at his leader, undoubtedly letting his leader give him ideas.
"Whatever your Excellency has given you, you will receive. Remember to do what you say next, and if there is anything that displeased you......"
"Zhilu Dao, head!"
Facing his leader's words, the 'Finger' stand-in immediately nodded, and then turned his head to Ye Qi and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your generosity!" ”
"Nothing. These are the ones you deserve in the danger that lies ahead! Ye Qi waved his hand. said directly: "After all, these are just favors!" ”
"Your Excellency, do you have any other commands?"
After glancing at the weapons and equipment of the four mercenaries together, he respectfully stood on the side of his subordinates, the female leader of the Thousand Swamp District nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Ye Qi, still very respectfully asked-There are almost five people with similar body shapes, but they choose each other as the boss's distinguished guest. In addition to good skills, loyalty and intelligence are also necessary, the former is indispensable for oneself, the boss, and the distinguished guest in front of him, and the latter can undoubtedly increase the success rate of what the distinguished guest in front of him is about to do.
As the boss's distinguished guest, the other party's affairs have succeeded with her own 'help', and for her, of course, there are endless benefits - the boss's generosity is as unpredictable as the mystery, praised by their group of leaders below; Therefore, for the task of this distinguished guest in front of her, this subordinate of the chameleon can't wait for Ye Qi to ask for as much as possible, because only in this way can she get more rewards after the matter is successful!
As for failure?
As a valued guest of the boss, his ability is naturally needless to say; The leader of the Sennuma District is unusually convinced of this; Of course, she doesn't rule out the possibility of accidents; But what does it matter to her? As long as she does her best in what the guest is going to do, then it is best that her boss will not punish her, but will be rewarded; She is very clear about her boss's discernment and rewards for meritorious service and punishment for mistakes.
"To be able to get the help I have now is beyond my imagination; Now it's time for our stuntman to perform! ”
Ye Qi smiled and shook his head, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at his 'stand-in' - although Ye Qi could not know all the thoughts of the chameleon subordinate in front of him, but through the other party's previous look of 'frightened' and 'dazed' when he thought he had offended himself and would be punished by the chameleon, Ye Qi could also deduce three or four out of ten about the other party's thoughts.
"Then, if you need anything, please let me know immediately!" Saying that, the chameleon's subordinate took out a purple wildflower that seemed to be everywhere in the Thousand Swamp District, and handed it to Ye Qi: "Your Excellency only needs to hang this flower outside the tree house, and I will know the way; And in ten minutes! ”
"Thank you again for your help!"
"For Your Excellency, it is my pleasure!"
The chameleon's subordinates turned and left the treehouse; The stand-in immediately set his eyes on Ye Qi.
"As I said before, get the bounty you deserve! Then, come back here before the evening! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
As a stand-in for Finger, the mercenary-turned-man immediately picked up the pile of weapons and equipment, jumped off the treehouse nimbly, and walked towards the trade street—as a subordinate of the poisonous widow, he certainly knew that he could buy these weapons and equipment at a good price; However, the 'reasonable and fair price' of the lord made him have to change his pace, and the stand-in had no objection to this, after all, it was already a windfall for him, and he knew very well that what the lord wanted to convey was really a bit abnormal for a person who had only been in the market of Chinuma for a few days to find such a channel, even if it was a mercenary.
Ye Qi, who was standing in the shadow of the tree house, closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations emitted by the other party's wandering on the trade street, but after a while, he sensed that two waves full of holy light aura appeared behind the other party, which were completely different from most people's fluctuations, Ye Qi's eyes flared, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly - the fish was hooked!
