Chapter 44: Mercenary Regiment
The two rooms are connected, in fact, it is a large suite, after Su Junbao and they entered the room, because of Xiaoxi's inconvenient movement, they didn't go downstairs, and the meals were all from the room.
After ordering, Xiao Er looked at them in surprise.
They were all children, but most of the meat they ordered was extremely heavy.
Can you finish eating? These people must have come hungry all the way! Xiao Er muttered in his heart.
It looks like a rich man, otherwise he can't afford to live in such a restaurant or hotel, but most of these children are disabled, so he has never seen such a guest.
The shopkeeper really couldn't guess what the other party was about, no matter what, the people paid, that is, the master, the shopkeeper still went down with a smile on his face.
The children gathered around the table, their expressions were a little restrained, they had never lived in such a good place, it was freezing outside, the fireplace in the room was burning, baking warmly, every piece of furniture was so clean and exquisite, they were curious and cautious, for fear that they would be broken by accident.
Sleeping in the open air, finally having a decent place to live, Su Junbao didn't want to treat himself badly, he ordered a lot of dishes, and as soon as the dishes were halfway through, the little guy couldn't help but move.
She was too small to reach the table when she sat on the chair, so she simply stood up on the chair, pointed to the dishes on the plate, and asked Su Junbao to bring them to her.
Su Junbao smiled, and picked a few dishes to put in front of her, this little guy is too unparticular about eating, and now she is equipped with a special plate for eating, so as not to grab her hands indiscriminately.
The boiled snow lamb was piled up in front of her, and she picked it up and nibbled on it.
The shopkeeper looked at it with a look of surprise again.
"Little Er, do you know where to find the mercenary group in this town that went to the capital?" Su Junbao knocked on the table and asked.
"Guest officer, you are going to the capital, you can ask me, there is nothing in the town that I don't know!"
After Xiao Er finished setting the dishes, he came up with an enthusiastic face, and he could see that the one who was going to the capital at this time was not a poor ghost who had no way to live, but must be the son of a big family.
"I don't know what kind of mercenary group the guest officer is looking for? The small ones can be done for you, guaranteed to be the best, the most favorable price, as for the cost......"
Xiao Er rubbed his hands twice, and the other party was undoubtedly a well-informed, flexible, and talkative shopkeeper.
But he is just talkative, but not in vain, and the news is not free.
"No, we'll look for it ourselves, you just need to tell me where it is!"
Su Junbao has been a mercenary for a while, and he knows that these mercenary groups are helping them solicit customers in restaurants and tea shops everywhere, and acquaintances who earn remuneration from both parties specialize in soliciting customers in specific groups, as for whether it is good or bad, it is difficult to say, Su Junbao still wants to find it himself, he took out a few silver coins and pushed them over from the table.
"This is naturally easy to say!"
When Xiao Er saw the money, the corners of his eyes were smiling, of course, it was easy to say, for the sake of the face of the silver coin.
His hand wiped the silver coins into his pocket as if he were wiping a table.
"Customer, you go out from here, go south to the open land at the other end of the town, those mercenary groups are there to solicit business, it is easy to find, but if you want to say that you are looking for the best, I suggest you find the Black Dragon Group, they have three Yuan Infant Realm in charge, very reliable, guaranteed to be foolproof along the way, the merchants who come and go are looking for them, or the Wild Lion Group is not bad, I know their leader, I can give you a discount!"
The shopkeeper sells half and gives away, and it seems to be showing off, it seems that in normal times, he has not introduced business to people.
……
The mercenary group is a kind of organization that exists in the Northern Regions Mangyuan and even in all corners of the Shenzhou Continent, and most of them are composed of martial arts and spiritual power cultivators.
Most of these martial arts cultivators have no sects or factions, and they have no family power background, and most of their martial arts cultivation relies on their own efforts, accumulating bit by bit.
They don't want to take refuge under the banner of others and look up to others, it may be because they have no way, but cultivation requires resources, a civilian cultivator without a back, relying only on his own efforts, can get limited resources, and his growth is limited, so he gave birth to a mercenary organization like a mercenary group.
These scattered cultivators who have no sect and no sect gather together, huddle together for warmth, earn source crystals by accepting various employment tasks, buy cultivation resources, and also support their families.
Over time, such mercenary groups formed a huge organization, providing a chance for those cultivators who had no way to survive and get ahead.
The mercenary group also has a wide range of businesses, as long as the employer pays a high enough price, there is no task that they do not accept, from revenge for people, murder and arson, to acting as bodyguards, escorting children to school, and everything from that.
Among them, caravan escort is a very important part of their business.
It is precisely because the service items of the mercenary group are extremely extensive, which can provide mutually beneficial convenience for all walks of life in Dongsheng Continent, and now it has become one of the indispensable industries in various places.
In many big cities, there is a special mercenary chamber of commerce, which is responsible for recording the personnel of the mercenary group, the start and end time of the task received, the main process of the task, and so on.
There are two major signs of a successful mercenary group.
One is strength, in places like the Northern Regions Mangyuan, large mercenary groups have several Yuan Infant Realm powerhouses, and some mercenary groups with big forces as backstage can even invite the ancient realm.
The stronger the mercenary group, the more employers will come to it, and the bigger the business orders it can receive.
The second is reputation, after each mercenary registers in the mercenary chamber of commerce, there will be a reputation value record, which records the number of mercenary tasks he has completed, as well as a failure record.
Reputation is more important than strength for a mercenary group, a mercenary with no reputation and a bad record, no matter how high his strength is, no mercenary group will take him in, let alone hire him.
But these are the rules of big places, such as Qinghe County and Pingyang Town, such as Qinghe County and Pingyang Town, the mercenary group lacks management, the good and bad conduct is uneven, the good ones are also very credible, and the bad ones like Li Ya's Huoyun Regiment are full of cases of guarding and stealing, robbing and killing employers, and seeking money and killing people.
If you want to keep your way safe, it is very important to choose a good mercenary group.
Generally, large mercenary groups can only be found in those big cities, Pingyang Town is a small town, Su Junbao doesn't expect to find too strong mercenary groups here, he just wants to try his luck and see if he can find more people on the road, it's better than them to go alone.
According to his calculations, this year's snow came too early, and many business groups that were still stranded in other places were in a hurry to return to their respective homes, including those in the direction of the capital, and they had to go, this should also be the last trip.
It's too late today, and after Su Junbao asks clearly, he plans to look for it tomorrow.
