"You're welcome, but your gun is something I've never seen before. ”

A calm voice sounded low, and Xue Wuxian smiled slightly, "Oh, thanks for the compliment." After the red-haired boy finished speaking, he casually found a nearby seat and sat down.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but looking at the eyes of Uncle Faqi on the other side, Xue Wuxian just smiled and said nothing, in this place, it is better to keep a low profile, although he rescued the knight just now, but it is not good to cause trouble again.

A clerk hurriedly walked out of the innermost part of the tavern, holding the latest mission announcement in his hand, the announcement had just been placed on the front desk, and almost everyone on the innermost table gathered around - the underground mercenary guild handed over the task is like this, most of the tasks do not require level restrictions, once you grab a good task, the harvest is very big.

Hehe, there are things that are fast and slow, of course, you have to grab it, and if you see a good task, first, if you can complete it, you can do it yourself, if you and your partner's strength is not strong enough, then you can invite other gray mercenaries to participate or simply subcontract out.

It is not surprising that the people who participated in the scramble in front of the counter were some magicians or relatively well-mannered warriors, how many of those big men who were five big and three thick had the money to be literate? Why did they rush to grab tasks if they didn't know how to read? The middle-aged magician just now squeezed out of the crowd, and his magic hat almost fell to the ground, and his companions were obviously used to seeing too much of this kind of scene.

The five mercenaries of the small organization took turns to read the mission, and their brows were slightly furrowed: they didn't expect that their captain was still slow, and he got a task that seemed to have a lot of money but was really difficult to complete.

The magician discussed with his companion, who was obviously a thief, the shortest, and stood up, clearing his throat and calling out loudly: "Go to the mission around the Elven Forest, a trip for twenty days, there are twenty gold coins to complete the task, and if you don't complete the hard work fee of five gold coins." Who's interested? Three partners are needed. ”

In the underground mercenary guild, there are very few mercenary groups with more than twenty people, and it is more accurate to describe that there is no registered mercenary group in the underground mercenary guild, but instead there is a mercenary organization - that is, several relatively fixed mercenaries cooperate for a period of time.

The missions issued by the underground guild are quite dangerous, so the mortality rate of mercenaries is very high, and it is naturally difficult to expand the scale of the organization in this case. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the strength of a few mercenaries, who have formed a group of more than fifty people after several years of struggle.

At this time, these mercenaries will find a way to whitewash their past records and register as a new mercenary group in the real mercenary union.

Unless, some people are too heavily stained on their bodies to see a ray of sunshine. In order to undertake larger tasks and obtain higher profits, once the underground mercenary organization receives a large-scale or high-risk mission, the first choice is to recruit some temporary partners.

"Twenty days is only five gold coins, it's too little, and the elven forest is so dangerous, add some more, just consider going." ”

A burly warrior stood up at a table not far away, "Yes, yes, going to a place like the Elven Forest can't be counted as an ordinary task. Another mercenary helped to speak.

For most underground mercenaries, the task of recruiting temporary partners must be more dangerous, especially the mercenary organization itself is already strong to recruit foreign aid, and the completion rate is pitifully low.

In this case, most mercenaries bargain not for how much they can get after completing the mission, but for a more realistic discussion of how much they can get if they can't complete it. There are even some mercenaries with very poor martial arts skills who will discuss being compensated for their injuries.

The middle-aged magician pondered for a moment and re-announced the price: "Eight gold coins in twenty days, archers are preferred, and if the warrior is not strong, we will not consider it." ”

In the Underground Killer Guild, five gold coins can buy a cheap human life. The hard work of eight gold coins for twenty days is enough to illustrate the danger of the task. However, the price offered still makes many people excited.

"How are the two of us?" the voice of the rescuer just now sounded, it was Snow Traceless and the Demon Master.

The middle-aged man and several partners showed surprise in their eyes at the same time, there are very few mercenaries with such martial arts skills among the underground mercenaries, not to mention that although the middle-aged man did not show any strength, but people gather in kind, people in groups, the two of them together, the strength is definitely not weak, and the other party did not put forward higher requirements, the magician agreed in one bite.

Most of the people have seen the sword just now, so the addition of the warrior will undoubtedly increase the reliability of the completion of the task, and maybe, twenty gold coins are also expected, and more people will stand up and sign up, so that there is such a rare scene as screening mercenaries in the tavern.

A short time later, the middle-aged magician smiled and pulled a magician and a warrior out of the crowd. It can be seen that the magician is satisfied with this recruitment.

After receiving the ordered dried meat and naan from the tavern waiter, the eight-person mercenary group that had just been formed hurriedly set off. The remaining mercenaries in the bar began to privately ask the guild clerk how much the low cost of this mission was? The clerk said two words very simply: "Piecework!"

No more news will be revealed, most of the piecework tasks are searches, and the more they are completed, the higher the reward, so it is no wonder that the captain of the other party dares to recruit people at such a high price.

The small team immediately left the mainland road after leaving the tavern, and advanced close to the elven forest.

The partners were all new acquaintances, and a considerable number of them couldn't even remember each other's names, and there were almost no words between the mercenaries along the way.

Trekking on the edge of the rainforest in the summer is not an easy task, and every night there are showers in the rainforest, so the meadow trails are covered with rain, the trees that have not been cut down and repaired for thousands of years stretch their foliage in an exaggerated way, and the roadside is constantly blooming with large wildflowers of various colors in the sun.

The low chirping of birds can be heard from time to time in the dense forest, and the sound of small animals stepping on trees in the forest when they are alarmed, and on one side of the forest, the occasional trickling stream can be heard.
