Chapter Seventy-Seven: Joining Forces
Hu Bin walked out of the library hut with a gloomy face, and the bad old scholar had blacked him by 1,000 dinars, and reluctantly said that Hu Bin was wasting his time. But fortunately, he has real talent and learning, otherwise Hu Bin would have to fight to deduct the punishment of prestige and give him a few punches directly.
"This thing is not complete, you have to find one more thing that will guide you to your destination." The scholar tore off a small piece of paper, wrote a few words, handed it to Hu Bin, and then unceremoniously put away the remuneration and issued an eviction order.
Su Jia, Fanta, Scissors and Howard gathered around, and saw the words "dinner spoon" written on the note, and this copper disc was actually an otherworldly version of Sinan. They found an iron spoon in the tavern, and everyone saw that the handle of the spoon shook a few times, and the side pointed firmly to the southwest.
"I think everyone but Fanta knows how dangerous the mission is. Scissors, I don't recommend you to participate in this operation. "Hu Bin can't guarantee whether the scissors have a lord template, so it's not like taking this risk.
"It's okay, I'll see it after that time. Howard, don't worry about me, I'll be waiting for you back in Viruga. Scissors kissed Howard, and Fanta next to him was very uncomfortable, and now he was still alone.
"A few of us go, isn't it too hasty, even if we take the legion with us, it's not safe in that place." Howard thought with trepidation of his previous adventure in the tomb, and although the rewards of that adventure were worth it, if it weren't for luck, perhaps none of them would have left the tomb intact.
"Hey, it's not that exaggerated, what kind of adventure can still use a legion-level unit, seven or eight mercenaries with better skills are enough." Fanta asked with a surprised look on his face, and in his impression, although Howard was cautious, he was not a timid person.
"It's not an exaggeration at all, even if I take the legion with me this time, there is no guarantee of the success of this adventure, so I will keep my hands behind." Hu Bin looked at the two of them with a mysterious expression.
The group waited in the tavern for two days, Scissors took advantage of these days to purchase some supplies and supplies for everyone on the road, Hu Bin also transferred the guards of the City Lord's Mansion from Mercenary City, and the arrival of 8 free knights blinded Fanta's dog's eyes.
"This is composite plate armor, I've seen it in the mystery shop, Lord Gerry and Lord Todd almost fought over it, I must be dazzled, this can't be." Fanta fumbled up and down the armor on the Freelancer, who looked like a complete pervert to others.
"Composite panel armor from overseas technology, imported goods from Hope Port, if you are interested, I can discount the market price by two discounts." Hu Bin spares no effort to promote his products, although he does not lack Fanta's small money at all, but Fanta is not the only numberer. If the composite plate armor can open up sales in the numberer market, then Hu Bin will make a lot of money.
"It's only a twenty percent discount, you're too dark, don't think I don't know what's greasy here, your armor has at least doubled the profit." Fanta's hand reluctantly left the armor, and the look in her eyes made the fearless freelancer shrink back from the quilt.
Hu Bin didn't just double his earnings, only a few people knew that as long as Hu Bin sold a composite armor, there would be four more sixth-level troops in the mercenary city, which was the power of monopoly trade.
"There is such a good thing, Lord Reed didn't tell me that Shiro has been in your city for so long." A group of people entered the tavern and happened to hear Hu Bin and Fanta's words.
"Don't tell me that there are no spies in the mercenary city, I guess the samples are all in your hands. It's coming so fast, I thought you'd be there tomorrow. Hu Bin turned around and saw Lord Kane smiling.
"Even the Demon Lord Lord will be cautious about the task of finding foreign aid, of course we have to pay attention to it, this time we have brought twenty people, all of whom are reliable numbered people." The person who spoke, Hu Bin, was also very familiar, she was Kane's glasses lieutenant, a female numbered person named Oran. There are not many female numberers in the warband world, so Hu Bin still has a deep impression of her. This is a strict but unrigid woman, and judging by the convincing appearance of the numberers who came with her, she must have been very capable.
"Hey, even if you don't have enough strength, you don't need to ask the Swadians for help, they're enemies." Fanta saw that the person who came was actually the Swadia number who had been killed by them with Rodok not long ago, and couldn't help but question Hu Bin.
"Let's not say that we have a truce, even if there are any grievances between the two countries, they can only be resolved on the battlefield, this is the way the nobles do it, I thought that Lord Fanta already knew this quite well." Kane retorted unceremoniously.
"That's right, as long as there are common interests, in fact, anyone can unite, isn't the Holy Alliance an example." Ms. Oran's mending knife made Fanta have to find a corner to draw circles, and you can't afford to hurt the bachelor who was murdered by her sister.
"So let's get down to business, as I said in my letter, this mission is difficult."
"There are twenty of us here, and you still say it's difficult, it seems that I still miscalculated. Reed, can you tell me more about that? Kane asked in a serious tone, and even Fanta pricked up her ears and waited for Hu Bin's answer.
"It's not a secret, but I can tell you that we had a total of more than 200,000 dinars in our last adventure of the same level, and two rare-level enchanted items appeared." Hu Bin's words stunned the numberers of Swadia, more than 200,000 dinars, enough for everyone present to get 10,000 dinars, not to mention two more precious enchanted items.
"That's why you opened the Secret Shop, it's more than 200,000 gold coins, which is really an amazing reward. You judge that this mission is on the same level as the difficulty you experienced last time, what are the characteristics of such an adventure mission, is there a such adventure mission in every country? This is a large national quest. Kane introduced a lot of information from Hu Bin's words, and finally there was a question.
"And that's the only way to explain why you were so careful, and how you did that adventure?" That's what Kane wants to know most.
"I can't tell you the specifics, but many of my companions died there, and only me, Suga and Howard, and their followers survived. I can tell you responsibly that our success is purely a matter of luck. Both Hu Bin and Howard looked heavy, clearly thinking of the dangers of their last adventure.
"We're going to make it." After listening to Hu Bin's words, Kane thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision calmly.
After the two sides reached a consensus, the numberers began to prepare for the long journey, but Hu Bin and his party had already prepared before, and the numberers on the Swadia side were originally prepared, so everyone just added some food and water and set off quickly.
In the western hinterland of the Rhodok Kingdom, there is another large city in Rhodok, Aaron City, Hu Bin and his party followed Sinan's guidance and came to this city that is not famous on the mainland, and after a few days of trekking, the numbered people are happy to have a place to stay for them to rest.
The most important feature of Aaron City is its tranquility, and its remote location does not mean that it is constantly facing the threat of war like Viruga City. Some of the city's specialties still attract some caravans, making the city look less depressed. The citizens industriously enjoy every day of peace and tranquility, and it seems to be the last pure land on the mainland, far away from those strife and war.
Hu Bin likes the style of the city, but his own city will never have such a peaceful atmosphere. After resting for a day at the tavern inn, the people who came from afar rushed to their destination this time, the dense mountains and forests south of Aaron City.
