Chapter 184: Employment
When Zhao Li repeated this several times, and finally lifted Baron Paine's head out of the bucket, the lord who had always spoken the same in Peel Town was already dying.
However, Zhao Li's goal was also achieved - now the lord looked much more sober, and the smell of alcohol on his body had also faded.
Zhao Li threw the baron on the ground and watched the other party collapse to the ground, gasping for breath.
Pulling over a small horse that the servants used for laundry, and sitting on it, Zhao Li asked lightly, "Is it convenient to talk now, Lord Baron?"
"Ahem, ahem... Y-What are you..."
Baron Paine retched as he tried to get up.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I just want to know where the griffon's lair is. ”
Zhao Li didn't bother to repeat the fourth time now.
"You're a demon hunter?"
When Baron Paine heard Zhao Li's words, his somewhat tyrannical face showed a look of surprise.
"No, I'm a mercenary. At the same time, Zhao Li knocked on the bucket with some impatience and said, "I suggest you answer my question before my patience runs out." ”
The green-clothed baron, who got up, looked around, all the soldiers who belonged to him were still lying on the ground moaning, their weapons were thrown to the ground, and the servants were hiding far away.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure you can go to trouble with the griffon. Baron Paine looked at Zhao Li, with a happy look on his face, and asked, "So, can you accept my employment?"
Although Baron Paine's temper is a little short-tempered, his vision is still quite broad - compared to the ordinary waste nobles who have been passed down from generation to generation, his title of baron was fought out of the battlefield when he was young - that is to say, Baron Paine is a rich generation.
Therefore, Baron Paine can be regarded as a person who has seen a lot of the world, judging from the situation on the field, this mercenary is obviously not an ordinary person, he can easily knock down dozens of guards, and he can also forcibly press him to "wash his face", such strength can indeed go to trouble the griffon.
As for whether the person in front of him was really just a mercenary as he said, Baron Paine didn't care at all.
"What did you say?"
Zhao Li suspected that he had misheard, the lord in front of him was afraid that he was not a trembling M? his subordinates were beaten by himself, and even he himself was almost drowned, and in such a situation, he still said that he would hire himself?
"I'm going to hire you!"
Baron Paine wiped the water stains from his face and said to Zhao Li: "I have a big trouble that needs your help, originally I wanted to find a demon hunter to help me, but this is the front line of the war, no one will come... I think with your strength, you can help me. ”
"No interest, just tell me where the griffon's lair is, or I don't mind drowning you. ”
Zhao Li didn't want to listen to this baron's mercenary assignment at all, so he directly rejected him, anyway, he tried to speak well, but the people in this world are cheap bones, and they eat hard and not soft.
If this baron must play tricks with him, Zhao Li really doesn't mind killing him, if there are a large number of Taimoya troops in the town, maybe he will be a little jealous, but this town has now been abandoned by Taimoya, so what is there to be afraid of?
Hearing Zhao Li's refusal, Baron Paine did not give up, and said, "I can give you money, a higher reward than killing a griffin, or you say a price-"
Zhao Li stood up, faced this lord who was taller and burly than him, grabbed his collar, forcibly pulled him to bend down, his face was reflected in the bucket, and said coldly: "I don't accept the hiring, just to fight, or do you want to drown in your own laundry bucket?"
"You must be curious to know about the griffon's lair, right?" asked Baron Paine, calmly facing the water.
"That's right. Zhao Li's hand was a little harder, and a little lower, the baron could dip into the bucket again.
"Wait, listen to me, in the whole town of Peel, only I know where that damn griffon's lair is, you can kill me, but you'll have to find the lair yourself, maybe lucky, you'll find it tomorrow, maybe bad luck, you won't find it this year. ”
Baron Paine continued, "You're looking for griffons to hone your combat skills, aren't you? ”
Lord Paine, who has killed wealth and wealth from the battlefield, has a very good ability to observe faces, and he can still judge the truth or falsehood of Zhao Li's series of words.
According to Lord Paine's judgment, Zhao Li's identity as a mercenary is just a disguise - a real mercenary, even if he wants to refuse the mission, at least he must listen to the remuneration first.
As for what Zhao Li's true identity is, the lord doesn't care, he has been on the horse for many years, and he has seen too many dark and weird existences in this world, although strange people are not common, but they do exist.
Moreover, Lord Paine thinks that it is probably true that Zhao Li wants to go to the griffin just to fight—he has indeed seen some mercenaries like madmen, or something, extremely stubborn, and has no other ideas than to improve his combat skills.
I have to say that the words of Baron Paine, the rich lord of the old fritters in the rivers and lakes, succeeded in making Zhao Li not drown him.
"Monsters?" This is exactly what Zhao Li is interested in—if he eats it, he let go of the baron's neck and asks lightly, "Are you going to hire me to help you kill monsters?" ”
Lord Paine stood up, his face impassive, but already a little sure in his heart.
"I had a tricky thing. Baron Paine sighed, "I don't know if you've heard of it, my family—my wife and daughter—all went missing the last two days, and not only that, many babies in the town are missing. ”
"Did the monster do it, and you want me to avenge you?"
Zhao Li asked rhetorically, if this is the case, look at what kind of monster it is, if you have beaten it, this task can be taken over - the other party is a baron anyway, and there are people under him who have money, and even the monster he can't help is definitely not a water ghost, a ghoul, etc., and it should be worth a lot of free attribute points.
"No, no, my wife and daughter are just missing, and I'm sure they're not dead. Baron Paine denied Zhao Li's words, and hurriedly said: "This matter is a bit complicated, my wife is about to give birth - she has been pregnant for several months, and the other party is not only a monster, but also a human being. ”
