"Sir, a few mercenaries said that they had received the commission from the mercenary union and are now waiting for you downstairs." Not long after Qin Lun and Sifo returned to the tavern, the waitress knocked on the door and informed them of the good news.

"So fast!" Qin Lun and Hill glanced at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

They don't know much about the mercenary organization in the world of Torrell, but they have never eaten pork and seen pigs run. Generally speaking, even if a task is very popular, the mercenaries will first consider the gains and losses of the task, and then decide whether to accept the task.

Most importantly, mercenary organizations stipulate that registered mercenaries cannot go to their employers privately unless they are contacted in the mercenary union hall.

One is because the mercenary union needs to extract the referral fee from it, and the second is that sometimes only one mercenary group wants to take the entrusted task, and the mercenary union also needs to screen among them, which is the responsibility of the mercenary union to the employer.

Even if the employer is not too picky, it is estimated that it will take three or four days. In addition, both employers and mercenaries have to prepare supplies for field expeditions, and in most cases, it takes a week to formally sign an employment contract and then set off for the destination.

Of course, Qin Lun and the others didn't have that much time to waste, so they tried to speed up the process as much as possible. For example, spend a lot of money on the delegation process, ask the mercenary union to skip the screening process, and take the initiative to recommend a suitable mercenary group to them.

In addition, it is stated in the employment conditions that it must be a mercenary group that has prepared expedition materials in order to accept this entrusted mission.

This condition actually restricts that only large mercenary groups can meet the entrustment conditions, because only large mercenary groups have enough credibility for the mercenary union to vouch for them, and have sufficient financial resources to prepare wilderness survival materials in peacetime.

Of course, even this is not just a matter of walking, they also need to weigh the risk of the task and how many people are needed to safely complete the commission. It can only shorten the preparation time of one week to two or three days, which is also the limit of what Qin Lun and the others can endure.

"It must be those bastards who want to take advantage." Siver blushed in the room and gasped.

He was depressed during this time, but now that he calms down and thinks about it, he always feels that the world is so dark, and people's hearts are so sinister, and he misses more and more when Mason's old butler was still there.

"Don't worry, let's go down and have a look first, Rand is here with you!" Hill smiled and comforted, giving Qin Lun a look, and the two went downstairs side by side.

"Torrell World, you're more familiar with it. In your opinion, is it trouble, or is it luck? Hill asked cautiously in the team channel.

"If they don't have a letter of introduction from the mercenary union, that's trouble. On the contrary, it should be some small characters who want to take advantage. Qin Lun replied with a light smile, "For us, as long as it's not from the Ambori Church. Cannon fodder, all of them are the same, what we lack is time, as long as someone accompanies us, if the gold coins don't work, use force, and it's hard to say who will take advantage of whom. ”

The mercenary union has been in the Torel world for a long time, and its reputation is generally very good, the process is very formal, and most of the letters of introduction that come out have specific magic seals, and others can't fake them.

The two murderers have no scruples, even if they use force, they are not afraid to kick the iron plate. Sifo is just a dilapidated little nobleman, and he doesn't put a little bit of gold coins in the eyes of the real big man there, and the person who wants to take advantage of him, how strong can his strength be, naturally he will be toyed with by the three murderers and applauded, this is something that Qin Lun and the others have long thought clearly.

Just when Qin Lun and Hill were talking and laughing and going downstairs, in the lobby of the Oak Barrel Tavern, someone was also mentioning Sifo and their affairs.

These were three young mercenaries, two men and one woman. The leader was tall and handsome, with a face full of resoluteness on his face like a knife and axe, and his long wavy golden hair hung down to his shoulders. Even in the noisy tavern environment, it stands out and stands out.

He was wearing a set of dark purple plate armor, which was mottled and stained, and the paint had fallen off in some places. However, the style of Kanban armor is not an ordinary road cargo, and the shoulder armor on both sides arches upwards, with more than a dozen steel cones on each side.

The chest armor on the front has a distinctly rounded arc, and the body looks like a wine barrel, and the heart part is tattooed with a faded purple rose. The forearm cover extends to the elbow, and is connected to the shoulder with a ring, covering the upper body from the dripping.

The barrel-shaped helmet he was holding in his hand, with a cross-shaped open eye slit in front of it, looked hideous and terrifying.

Some mercenaries with good eyesight have already seen that this set of plate armor is not available on the market. This is the heavy knight armor of the Char Empire in the south of Faerun, close to the Steam Lake and the Shining Sea, and at least the nobles of the knight rank and above can wear the family's custom armor.

Just looking at the age of the young knight, this relatively old armor should not be his, it is estimated that it is an heirloom left by his father.

However, compared to the knight's characteristic armor, the blade in his hand caught the attention of many mercenaries in the tavern.

This is an ordinary style of wide-bladed chopping horse ~ knife, but the model is a little large, nearly twenty-five centimeters wide, two meters long, the spine is up to one inch thick, and the tip of the blade has a little upturned hook arc. The hilt of the knife, about 40 centimeters long, was wrapped around the cotton cloth, and occasionally the sleek oak handle was exposed in the spotlight.

Several older mercenaries looked at the knife, their eyelids jumping, and their usually high-pitched voices were an octave lower.

There is only one evaluation of this knife in their hearts, and this is definitely a murder weapon. Warriors who are less than the rank of Great Knight can't use this weapon, and her weight alone can exhaust ordinary warriors from lying down.

This weapon is the ultimate combination of strength and beauty, and when fully deployed, the earth dragon can give you a sword and two cuts.

"Miss Linda's commission to introduce us this time is not easy, the land of death...... I hope the employer is not a fool, otherwise he will be exhausted. The person who spoke was another man.

He was not as tall as the Blonde Knight, he wore no protective gear on his body, only a cloth suit, his limbs were slender, and his hands and feet were bandaged with cotton cloth. The palms of one hand are white and smooth, and the fingers are slender.

He looked a little lazy, with a stick of hay in his mouth, crouching on a wooden bench like a monkey, and only a pair of bright eyes swept over the tavern door from time to time, vigilantly watching everyone who entered the tavern.

He had a horned scimitar stuck in his left waist, and in his right hand he held another dagger that was shiny black. The blade of this dagger is carved with an eye motif, and the handle is a hideous dragon head, which is intimidating.

This is a double-edged thief or a part-time wanderer.

"Lago, change your lazy nature, Miss Linda has given us a lot of good tasks, don't complain," said a pleasant voice in the room of the three, the only woman among them.

The young woman wore a black velvet cloak with a hood and a white veil over her face, and inside the cloak was a white double-breasted robe, which looked like either a priest's dress or a magic robe.

Although her body was tightly wrapped in a robe and her face was veiled, the only eyes that were exposed were bright eyes and a moving brilliance, which made people unconsciously feel that this was a gorgeous and moving beauty.

In her right hand, she clenched a tendribranch-like staff, topped by a small fire crystal. It's just that her next action completely destroys her original quiet temperament, revealing her mischievous nature, she actually uses her short staff to knock the thief's head.

"Hey, Winnie, I'm just talking." The thief quickly slipped off the wooden bench, ducked behind the knight, and smiled flatteringly at the mage.

"Hmph, you have to know that last time we ransomed our money to redeem 'Twilight' for you, and we will be sleeping on the streets without doing any more tasks." The mage pursed her lips and looked angrily at the black dagger engraved with an eye pattern in the thief's hand.

"It's better than you always taking money to buy a bunch of perfumes that are more expensive than gold...... I was wrong, I was wrong, Winnie, don't get excited. The thief muttered, looking up at the female mage as she raised her staff murderously, and her face changed dramatically.

"Rick, boss, stop her, if we burn down this tavern, we won't have the money to pay now."

"You know, don't mess with her!" The valiant knight angrily took the thief's back collar and threw him in front of the female mage, "Winnie, I'll teach him a lesson when I get back, our employer seems to have come down, let's get down to business." ”

……

Qin Lun and Hill looked at the three mercenaries in front of them, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Trouble?" Hill asked quietly in the team channel.

"No, it seems that it is still useful to give the mercenary union so many taps." Qin Lun smiled and said, "These two men and one woman seem to have good strength." ”

"Hello, I'm Rick, the leader of the Bloodthirsty Mercenary Regiment, and this is my companions Winnie and Largo. Oh yes...... This is a letter of introduction from Miss Linda, the registrar of the union. The heroic and tall knight handed Qin Lun an envelope sealed with red clay.

"Excuse me, are you Seafer Hulan?" The thief beside the knight looked at Qin Lun vigilantly.

"No, I'm a friend of Sifer, he's upstairs, and if the commission is negotiated, I'll take you to him." Qin Lun smiled and nodded, "Since the Mercenary Guild recommended you, you should already know about the content of the mission commission, right?" ”

"Yes, escort you to the land of the dead, and do not protect your personal safety along the way, until you return to Baldur's Gate, and the daily reward is 100 gold coins." Rick nodded solemnly, "However, we need to attach one condition to this mission. ”

"What kind of conditions?" Qin Lun didn't immediately refuse the knight, he raised his head and looked at him seriously.

"Two weeks, we're only going to protect you for two weeks at most. In other words, you can only spend a week in the Land of the Dead, except for the time you spend traveling back and forth to Baldur's Gate. Rick muttered to himself that this condition was not actually his intention, but a personal request that Linda had attached to the task.
