He sat down against the wall weakly, thinking back to the experience of drinking last night, and only vaguely remembered that last night Sterling and several people lost money because of his victimization, so they deliberately retaliated and poured him to drink. As for the next drink, it was like drinking water, the wine was dry, and soon he slipped under the table and was unconscious, and as for how he was carried back to the hotel room in the back by Sterling, Alan had no memory at all.

Just as Alan rubbed his head and vowed never to drink so much again, someone in the courtyard suddenly called him: "Alan, are you feeling better?" As soon as the door opened, Captain Havech, dressed in white, walked in with a bowl of cereal porridge.

Alan thanked Captain Havech in high spirits and said, "Captain, I can still withstand it, but my head hurts a little, and I will never drink so much alcohol in the future." Is everyone else up? When are we leaving? ”

Harvey looked at Allen's somewhat sluggish look, and said with a smile: "You drink the porridge first, your stomach will be more comfortable, a few of them go out, choose a means of transportation for you, where is the next journey, and prepare an armor for you, it is inevitable that you will not be taken care of when you go on a mission, if you are allowed to have three long and two short, our entire mercenary group will have no face to see Master X." ”

Alan came out this time with great ambition and was ready to show his skills in the mission, and now when he heard Captain Havech's words, he obviously regarded himself as an experience, and he felt a little unhappy, but he knew that this was not the time to discuss this, and he would prove his worth with practical actions when he arrived at the mission site, so he changed the topic and asked: "Captain, I patronized and drank last night, what task are we going to complete this time, can you introduce it to me." ”

"You drink the porridge first, warm your stomach, and then I'll tell you. ”

"Good!"

Next, Alan quickly swallowed a bowl of porridge into his stomach, then wiped his mouth and said with a grin, "It's okay now." ”

"Do you really want to know the details of the mission so quickly? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed when you find out. Havech seemed to understand what Alan was thinking.

"I'm going to be disappointed sooner or later anyway, I'd rather be sooner. ”

"Haha! Young people are like that, I think it was the same when I did my first mission, and I surrounded the captain and asked this and that. Well, I just have time, so I'll talk to you. But before I do that, I'm going to ask you a question, Alan, do you know the mercenary profession?"

"Learn a little, listen to stories about mercenary adventures as a child. ”

"It is true that there are a lot of exciting adventure stories happening on mercenaries, but the profession of mercenary is not an adventure for the sake of excitement, in fact, the job of a mercenary is very simple, that is, to get money to do things, in other words, to complete the employer's tasks and receive commissions. When it comes to the task of mercenaries, it is much more complicated, there is almost nothing on this continent that cannot be used as a mercenary task, as long as there is enough commission or reward, even if it is an assassination of the Pope, there will be mercenaries who dare not to take this task, but this kind of task will not be openly traded. The commission or reward of the task will generally be determined according to the difficulty of the task, the higher the commission, the greater the difficulty of the task, the higher the risk, and even some of the most difficult tasks have been wiped out, so many of the mercenaries' commissions are exchanged for blood or even life. Of course, not all missions are so dangerous, and there are some simple ones, such as this one. Sterling and I are already old mercenaries, and after so many years, everyone now has a family, and the dangerous tasks are basically not accepted, most of them take on some simple tasks to earn hard-earned money. ”

Alan understood most of what Harditch said, but he still listened patiently, did not interrupt Captain Hardich, and waited for him to get to the point.

"The official task of our trip is to escort a caravan to the Higg Empire and protect the safety of the caravan along the way, because the area we pass through is in the territory under the jurisdiction of Yus and Higg, and there is no brigade of horse thieves, so it is still very safe, and we have successfully completed the task, as long as the employer receipt is handed over to the mercenary union, the task is completed, and we can go home with the commission, but due to the long way back to the city, we are ready to take on a small task on the way to earn some travel expenses, so there is this mission, but to our surprise, Master X's people found us after we received the task, hoping that we can do a favor。 So we're here waiting for you. “

Alan finally found that Captain Hardich was really verbose, and after talking for a long time, he hadn't talked about what their mission was going to do, so he couldn't help but ask, "Captain, where are we going now, what are we going to do?"

"Don't worry, I'll get to that right away. ”

"Generally speaking, non-mercenary adventurers like you are not allowed to join the mission, but it is common in the mercenary world, and the mercenary union is well aware of this situation, but they generally turn a blind eye, but outsiders can't share the commissions and rewards of the task, but can only share the incidental harvest of the task, such as hunting the core of the monster, searching for additional discoveries of ancient sites, etc., so if Alan, if your mission doesn't go well, there is no money to get. ”

Alan rolled his eyes and almost fainted, not because he didn't have a commission to take it, but because Captain Hackitch was so verbose that he didn't talk about the content of the mission, Alan already had a headache, and now it felt like it exploded, and finally he had to look at Hackitch with a dying breath and pleaded: "Captain, can you tell me before I pass out, what is our mission?"

"I told you earlier! I told you this now, but if we want to talk about our mission this time, we must first understand the terrain of the continent......

Alan rolled his eyes and finally fainted.

Captain Hackwich finally caught a listener, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was no reaction behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that Alan had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but say to himself: "The little guy doesn't seem to have woken up yet, let him continue to sleep," said and covered Alan with a quilt, and then quietly walked out of the house and carefully closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, Alan opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Captain Harditch had left, if Captain Harditch continued to talk like this, it is estimated that he may not be able to know what the content of the mission is in the future, forget it, let's go back and ask Sterling them, I hope they don't be as verbose as Captain Havech.
