Chapter Seventy-One: 1643 Squad, Assemble!
With a bang, Riley slapped a map of the Snell Harbor sewers on the table, and the lamps on the table jumped. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She shouted imposingly: "This is the map! It took a lot of effort to turn it out in the city library! The 1643 mercenary team is on its first mission, and it is only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"
Duck let out a long yawn, "Captain, we've been sitting for an hour, when is the meeting?"
Riley clasped her hands on her chest and looked at her brother condescendingly: "Since you know that I am the captain, don't easily question my decision!"
Royce glanced at him.
Riley quit: "What do you mean by that look that plays with the kids!"
Royce hurriedly clarified: "How can I have! The corners of my eyes are itching! You are the boss, you speak, we still count on you to pay our salary, how dare you underestimate your old age?"
The mercenary union of the Dorand Kingdom has a very mature and perfect system and glorious history, and today, as the strength of human beings becomes stronger and stronger, the monsters and monsters around the country have basically been swept away, and the mercenary union has gradually lost its original function of defending the survival of mankind, and has gradually evolved into a training institution to train reserve militia and cultivate the spirit of martial arts.
In this general situation, the newly formed mercenary teams are uneven, some of them are the second- and third-line reserve teams of the escort teams of the major chambers of commerce, who come out to practice and simulate actual combat; some are purely children's fun. The entry threshold for forming a mercenary team is very low: over 16 years old, no criminal record, more than three people, fixed name, 50 pounds per month, regardless of whether you have a task to accept, if you take the task, the bounty will be drawn every five, and the rest will be tossed up as you like.
It's been two weeks since the Barres were sent off, and it's mid-December, and it's not yet Christmas time, and everyone is in a painful phase.
Since Duck was promoted to the third-level superintendent, his only task is to sign in and sign out every day.
Royce is more idle, the Cachin has two months to go to sea, and he has been trained by Sean all day to cry wolf, and it is said that he has learned a lot of new skills, but he has to get drunk with Duck every three or five days, and then continue to practice to cry wolf.
Riley still interned with George, and did a good job as an assistant seriously, but recently George has been hiding in the laboratory and not coming out, sending her home to rest, her salary is still paid, and she doesn't know what kind of research she is doing to harm humanity.
Riley was bored, so she went to the mercenary union to register the "1643 Squad", the self-proclaimed captain, and she didn't think about the three team members, and with a stroke of the pen, Dacrois Isabella became all subordinates. Now, she's experiencing the pleasure of being in the head.
Royce said: "I'll take a look at the mission publisher - Diderot? What the hell? I don't know! Mission Description: The diary has fallen into the sewer? Can it fall to the fourth floor? Did the meteorite do it? Release time 1613 - Thirty years ago? Girl, you took a dead mission, right? Didn't you see the colors?"
The so-called dead task refers to the task that has been suspended in the mercenary union for a long time, and no one has claimed it after the time limit, or the difficulty is too high, or the conditions are too harsh, or the publisher has no reward even if it is completed, and this kind of task is generally displayed in gray on the bulletin board.
The average team won't go to the trouble of choosing such a thankless deal, and of course, completing a dead mission will bring the squad considerable prestige - that's all, for the lesser-known team to become an instant hit.
Duck said lazily: "I don't know if I can see the color clearly, anyway, the mission code name is to see 'Ak-1643' clearly? β
Riley's face turned red all of a sudden: "Who, who looks at the numbers!
"Listen up. β
Riley said: "Diderot was a well-known alchemist in Port Snell thirty years ago, but he is very mysterious, only a few works have been circulated, and no one has ever seen his true appearance!
"So it's full of spoofs?"
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
"There are too many questions, the release date of the mission is 1613, and the limit is indefinite! What does he think this is? Slaying dragons? This kind of mission is insincere at first glance, and it is made to pretend to be more stinky than to show off. Also, the level limit, if that diary is really important, you should try to shorten the time limit as much as possible, and choose a team with a high average! You look at this profile, 'The maximum number of team members must not exceed three levels', and this kind of rule? Afraid that the task will be completed too quickly or what?"
A girl's voice suddenly came from the door: "Not necessarily, maybe, that diary is really a good thing." The level below level 3 is limited and may not be understood. β
Duck stood up suddenly: "Pastor Isabella, long time no see, please please!"
Isabella glanced at Dark, didn't say much, walked straight in, and put a small crystal ball on the table: "Look at this." β
The crystal ball spits out a pale blue mist, and in the mist, George's image is both real and illusory:
"Guys, I need your help with something: go to the Mercenary Guild and get Mission Ak-1643, it's a very important dead mission, and I'm determined to get it. The relationship has been settled, as long as you go, you will definitely be able to get it, and if someone preempts them, then, kill them. I'll bear all the consequences. To be clear, what Rodriguez did, I wouldn't mind doing it again. β
Hearing these murderous words, Duck almost stood up in surprise, this was the first time he had seen George so determined.
George's introduction continued: "Mr. Dark, I think you must remember the first time we met. Truth be told, I went down for that diary. However, a very sophisticated induction circle is set up near it, whether it is a person or a prop carried, as long as it exceeds the third level, it will trigger a chain reaction, and it is likely that the end is connected to a self-destruct device. The only force I can rely on now is you. β
Duck and Royce looked at each other in shock.
As a dignified eighth-level alchemist, he actually drilled into the stinking sewers for a diary, that diary, is it really so magical? Could it be that there are some forbidden spells recorded in it? Or is it the formula of ancient alchemy?
George's image continues: "I hope you will do it as soon as possible. Pay attention to two points, first, the sewer is definitely not as simple as you think, there is no preparation, don't act hastily, if you have any needs, write a note and put it in the mailbox at the door of the Iron Tooth Village. Second, beware of the Black Hand. β
Isabella was confused: "Black Hand? what?"
Royce quickly replied: "I can't do the task myself, so I will follow the other teams behind the scenes, and destroy the team that grabs the reward." In the past few years, there have been fewer mercenaries, and they have also stopped a lot. β
"Shhhhh
"Finally," George's image accentuated, "don't expect it to happen overnight, and when the time comes, you have to return for supplies." β
George's image vanished, and the four of them fell silent.
Duck said first: "It seems that we don't have a choice. But the sewers, are they that scary?"
Isabella frowned: "Has anyone ever gone down?"
The other three shook their heads together.
"Well, we'll have to look at the map first, but luckily I found the sewer map from the town hall. With that, Isabella spread out the map in her hand.
"There's already oneβhuh? I'm not the same as yours?" Riley looked at Isabella's drawings in surprise, "Are there two drawings? Which one is real?"
Royce put his hand on his forehead: "Sure enough, it's not that simple, this hasn't gone down yet, trouble is coming!"
Riley shrugged: "At least, we got this task first, and a good start is half the battle - which of these two maps is real?"
