Chapter 13 Partners
"Alas~~ Although this task is simple, there are not many bounties, and there are no points, so I think it's better to forget it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"That's right, in addition to food and housing, the bounty is only a mere gold coin, who will do it?"
"Let's take a look ~ go look elsewhere. If we don't borrow any more tasks today, we'll all starve to death! β
When Ye Qiuchen and the three arrived, they happened to hear the discussion of the onlookers and mercenaries, and when they heard the food and housing, the three people who described the haggard immediately looked at each other with their eyes shining, and the three people who had experienced the night of eating and sleeping at this moment felt satisfied as long as they heard the food and housing, not to mention that there was a gold coin! So I lined up the crowd in front of me and squeezed in.
Although many mercenaries left because the remuneration was not high, there were still many mercenaries who stayed here with the same mood as Ye Qiuchen and the others. It took a long time for the three of them to squeeze forward.
I saw two people sitting behind a long table, an old man with a white beard and a girl in her twenties. The old man's eyes were deep, his body was rickety, and he was as thin as firewood, but an oncoming evil aura could not be ignored. It's just that his face is pale now, and he covers his chest and coughs a few times from time to time, and he looks weak and weak when he speaks. As for the girl, it made people see it, her eyes lit up, I saw that she had snow-white and white hair, her skin was snow-white and crystalline, her posture was tall and moving, plump and mature, and her demeanor was graceful, although there was no expression on her face, but it could be seen from her sitting posture that a strong woman's momentum came to her face, making her whole person Although she was just an ordinary woman, she did not dare to underestimate her.
"Everyone, the conditions have been opened, escort my young lady to the Flying Snow Empire from here, as long as my young lady is guaranteed to be safe and sound within three years, you can freely take the task on the way, we have no limit, the quota is only three, if you are willing, whether you are a lone mercenary or a group mercenary, you can come forward to accept the task." The old man spoke weakly.
"From here to the Flying Snow Empire, there are countless bandits and bandits of all kinds on the way, and you only give out one gold coin, this task is too cost-effective, right?" As soon as the old man's voice fell, someone immediately began to question.
"This ....." In fact, the old man and the woman both knew that the reward was indeed less, but there was no way, the two had been on the run for three years, and the attendants they had brought out had all been sacrificed, and the people who pursued them were still working tirelessly. In desperation, the two decided to return to the Flying Snow Empire and ask for help.
"Well, add this." At this time, the proud and noble woman on the side spoke abruptly, took down the broadsword that had been carried behind her back, and put it on the table: "This is the Flying Snow Empire's forged 10,000-year-old cold jade in the depths of the snow region before last. And this can be paid as soon as we sign the agreement. After speaking, he sat upright and said nothing, and at the same time raised his hand to stop the anxious old man.
"What!!"
"Is this sword so good?"
"Looking at this sword, there are three meters long, the sword body is wide and the whole body is crystal clear, and the hilt of the sword is a ruby ruby, which is completely an imitation of the national treasure of the Flying Snow Empire, and the 'Snow Cold Ice Sword' that disappeared with Princess Changle who disappeared in the turmoil of the Flying Snow Empire three years ago!"
"That's right! I didn't think it was exactly the same! β
"Not bad! In this way, even if this sword is a copy, it is worth a trip for us! β
"That's right! Although there are ten people in my Silver Flower Mercenary Group, we can divide three of them to go and do it! β
"My Tiannan mercenary group has also done it!"
"I ..... I...... I ........."
For a while, the mercenaries who were about to leave became enthusiastic after seeing this broadsword. But the woman raised her hand to suppress the noise, and said softly: "Since there are so many people now, then, if you are willing to accept this mission, please stay, if you are unwilling, please leave now, and then I will choose the right person among you." β
When everyone heard this, they whispered, some people left, but many people stayed, including Ye Qiuchen and the others.
Originally, the three of them were just here for the conditions of eating and living, but they didn't expect to accidentally find such a broadsword, and Caterina, who had just lost her weapon, instantly had green eyes and almost drooled to the ground.
Looking at the group of mercenaries left behind, the old man reluctantly took out a stack of mercenary contracts and distributed them at the woman's suggestion, allowing the mercenaries to watch the terms by themselves, and when the mercenaries saw the first clause: the one that must pass through the death swamp on the way, many people's hands shook, and the contract fell to the ground.
"What!! To pass through the Swamp of Death?! β
"What the hell! Actually going through the Swamp of Death! No more! β
"That's right! The area of the death swamp is not large, among which the Qinglin Jiao Snake Group is a big obstacle, if it is accidentally discovered by the Jiao King, I am afraid that we will all die somewhere! β
"Let's go! For the sake of a fake, it's not worth it. β
"Let's go~~"
As he spoke, the mercenaries had already left, and the place that had been lively just now was instantly deserted. Only Ye Qiuchen and the three people were left in the field.
Ye Qiuchen saw that everyone had left, and wondered in his heart, what is this death swamp? It actually makes people smell and change color?
Thinking about it, he looked at Caterina and Gothmous beside him, and saw that the two of them were also not very good-looking, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this death swamp?" Actually let you show such a dead mom and dad's expression? β
"Foodie! Don't you know that the Swamp of Death is called the Swamp of Death because to enter it is to seek death!! Gothmous didn't know Ye Qiuchen's origin, so when he heard Ye Qiuchen ask such a question that everyone in the mainland knew, he couldn't help but roar loudly and sprayed Ye Qiuchen's face with saliva.
Caterina knew Ye Qiuchen's origin, so she explained to Ye Qiuchen in a whisper in Goth's surprised eyes: "The Death Swamp is also a well-known dangerous place on the main road, although it is not as dangerous as the Absolute Domain, but the Death Swamp is not large, the entire area is covered by the swamp, and there are several roads repaired during the ancient empire interspersed with it for people to pass through, but in the swamp there is the activity range of the Qinglin Jiao, this Qinglin Jiao is a highly poisonous thing, At present, there are only a few people on the road who can solve the poison of Qinglin Jiao, among which the Qinglin Jiao King is a seventh-level demonic beast, and his strength is extremely powerful, so although the threat of the entire death swamp comes from the Qinglin Jiao, it is still the place of death for adventurers and mercenaries below level eight. β
"So that's the case, so it seems that we can't take this task either?"
"No!" Suddenly, Gothmous, who was still looking ugly beside him, suddenly spoke: "Let's take it, although that place is dangerous, it is of great use to me." β
"Useful? What is it for? Regarding Goth's outspokenness, Ye Qiuchen and the two have a good impression of Gothus, and they can already be regarded as partners who share weal and woe at this moment.
"I have a bilin mink egg." Gothmous smiled abruptly with sunshine on his face, and said with a seemingly relaxed face.
"Bilin Marten!?" Ye Qiuchen was inexplicable, but Caterina exclaimed: "You mean you want to take the blood of the Qinglin Python to hatch the Bilin Marten?" β
"Hmm!" Gothus stroked his blond hair in front of his forehead, and described him as haggard, but he still didn't forget to play handsome: "This handsome guy is loved by God, and by chance he got a bilin mink egg, and now he has met this task again, isn't it just to remind this handsome guy and let him hatch it?" β
"Speak well!" Caterina kicked the ass of Gothmousse, who was playing handsome.
"Ouch~~" Gothic Mousse flew out in an instant, and the direction landed right in front of the noble woman.
"Hehe~~" got up, patted off the dust on his body casually, and looked at the noble woman with her long hair: "Beautiful and noble lady, please forgive me for the loss, believe me, it was just an accident." β
"Hmm~~" The woman's face was expressionless, and the old man took a horizontal step, blocking between the two, looking at Gothic Mousse and said, "Have the three decided to accept this task?" But the words of the three of them just now were not concealed, and the old man and the woman heard from the beginning to the end.
"Of course!" Gothmus and Ye Qiuchen are also familiar with each other, and they have a little understanding of the two, and they once again brushed their blonde hair, the corners of their mouths hooked, and they thought they were chic and calm.
"Don't you need to ask your companion?" The old man confirmed again.
"No, I'm the head of the regiment, I can decide everything." Gothmous said unashamedly.
"Okay, then, let's download and go to the God of Contracts to sign the contract."
"Please!" Gothmous showed what a gentleman was from beginning to end, but the noble woman didn't give him a serious look from beginning to end.
Ye Qiuchen and Caterina followed behind the three of them, went to the Contract Temple, looked at the gothic mousse boasting in front of them, and pouted: "Linna, when did Mousse become the head of the regiment?" β
"Who knows~~" Caterina covered her mouth and chuckled, and said lightly.
"Linna, why are we following?"
"Who knows~~"
"Linna, what do you know?"
"I know~~" Caterina said this, paused, looked at Goth's back, and said meaningfully: "We, we should be partners, right?" β
Ye Qiuchen was stunned, looking at Goth's back and the way he was bragging while playing handsome, he couldn't help but smile slightly, yes, partner. I didn't expect that I, Ye Qiuchen, would trust a stranger so easily one day.
That's right, compared to Caterina's simpler mind, Ye Qiuchen has always suspected that Gothmous is purposefully close to the two of them, but now after listening to Caterina's words, he was abrupt, and a bright light flashed in his mind, the two of them were penniless, powerless, and powerless, and there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
Smiling slightly, Ye Qiuchen said softly: "Yes, partner." (To be continued.) )
