Chapter 11: A Strange Mission (2)

"Why are you on a mission with Christina, what are you doing!"

"Are you crazy? Don't you see the problem with this mission? There could be a dragon blocking the way, and then we have a dragon too? Don't you see that our dragon might be more problematic than the dragon on the other side, why did we leave her?"

"I think we should really think about it. Christina is an uncertain factor. If we cooperate with other people, we can solve even the most dangerous tasks through careful planning, and Christina is a danger herself!"

"Five thousand gold coins, that's not a small amount. If we are not careful, we may empty all our money. ”

The Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Group are nothing, and the White Vulture Mercenary Group is the first to fry the pot. Everyone is working in unison against their regimental leader, Kevin. The voices arguing in the hallway were heard clearly by Andrew and Christina, who were sitting in the cubicle.

"The Adventurer Hall has re-signed with them, maybe we should trust the Adventurer Hall's assessment. Kevin patiently explained, "The mission compensation of nine thousand gold coins will definitely not be low, and they must have a reason for daring to arrange it like this." ”

However, the members still didn't buy it.

"Maybe it's just because they're rich? I've heard that they've lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins because of Christina. In contrast, this may be another experiment, and we may lose all our money in the experiment. ”

"Kevin, I really can't agree with your decision, it's too dangerous. If you must do this, please give me my share of the money, and I will choose to quit the mercenary group. ”

"Give me my share of the money too, thank you. ”

"You can't do this, do you want to run away from the wilderness? Because you met the former captain, you ran away? In that case, our white vulture mercenary group will never be the most influential mercenary group in Lin López. Explaining, Kevin's mood began to fluctuate a little.

"It's better to run away than to be penniless, and I don't want to live like Christina anymore. I don't even have the money to buy wine, you know?" the grumpy dwarf shouted.

"Kevin, I think you want to prove that you're better than Christina, so I'm angry with her. Actually, you don't have to do this, every one of us thinks that you are better than her, otherwise we would not choose to leave her with you. We all know very well what kind of person she is. With her, the mission will not succeed. ”

Christina's head was buried lower and lower.

Andrew comforted softly, "You don't need to be upset about them, they're not your team anymore." Your team is me, and we'll get the job done. ”

Christina glanced up at Andrew aggrievedly, smiled reluctantly, and did not speak.

"No, it's not. Can you please hear me explain?" Kevin patiently explained at the door, "The Adventurers' Hall is not a charity, and they don't joke with their money. If you approve of me as the head of the regiment, you should give me the right to decide. I've never made a bad decision in a while. Trust me, okay?"

Christina whispered, "Why do you have to take on this task?"

"Why?" Andrew said with a frown, puzzled, "I don't think there's a reason not to take this task." It sounds like a lot of problems, but I don't think anything can bother us. At least in Lin López there will be no mission that will be difficult for us. The point is, they are your old members, we are on the rise, and I don't want to go viral outside and back down when you meet your old members. Such rumors are very bad for us. ”

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If it weren't for me......"

"Shhhh Andrew made a silencing gesture and whispered, "That's all in the past, you don't need to feel guilty." From now on, you just need to think about how to make money, and we have to become the richest mercenary group in the entire Lin López. And you, like other dragons, will lie on the gold coins every day. ”

"Thank you...... You saved my world, really. Christina smiled, a happy expression on her face.

Andrew reached out and gently touched Christina's head, smiling.

Hannah watched silently.

Finally, the white vulture mercenary group finally finished arguing, and pushed the door one by one and walked in.

Kevin's face was red. As for his four mercenary members, either angry or indifferent, none of them had a good-looking face.

Returning to his place, Kevin smiled awkwardly at Hannah and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, we've agreed." ”

"Really? Congratulations. Hannah smiled back awkwardly, then looked down and flipped through the information in her hand, "So can we move on to the next process now?"

"Yes. Kevin wiped his sweat and looked at Christina and Andrew, who were sitting across from him. The four members of the group next to him turned their faces away and looked in other directions.

"Have the Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenaries confirmed that they have accepted this task?" Hannah looked at Andrew.

"Yes. Andrew nodded slightly.

"Okay, then, please pay the deposit first?" Hannah pursed her lips and looked around at the mercenaries around her, "You need to pay your own deposit, five thousand gold coins per team, before I can tell you further information." At the same time, the agreement must be signed. Since the mission starts tomorrow, you'd better go back and get the money now. Or send someone back to get the money. I can ask the guards at the Adventurer's Hall to escort me. ”

Turning his face sideways, Kevin said to the dwarf beside him, "Hansen, you go." ”

"Why me? I'm not going. Hansen the dwarf crossed his hands and turned his face away.

Kevin had to look at the thief on the other side again, "Tina, you go." You don't need to do it, the guards will help you move it. ”

"I don't want to go either. The thief Tina gave him a decisive look.

"I'll go with my brother. Carol, the elven archer, spoke.

In this way, Kevin, who was the head of the regiment, reluctantly stepped down.

"What about you?" Hannah looked at Andrew.

"There are few of us, so let's go together. Andrew spread his hands.

"Hmm!" Christina nodded heavily.

The happy appearance is very different from the other side, I wonder if Kevin will be jealous?

So, two people from each side set off to get the money. Since there are only two people in the blood elf and dragon mercenary group, they are pouring out.

The whole process took about two hours.

After sending each of their 5,000 deposits to the adventurer's hall, the two sides sat back in their original compartments.

Hannah handed out two copies of the agreement to each of them. One of them is a non-disclosure agreement, which states that both parties are not allowed to disclose the content of the task to any non-mission participant, otherwise, they will not receive a bounty even if they complete the task. At the same time, their deposit will be deducted in full. The other is the agreement to accept the mission, which includes the general mission, as well as some provisions regarding the bounty, as well as an exemption clause in the event of death or injury to the mercenary group.

It's a routine, an agreement that is signed for almost all important tasks.

Both sides signed silently.

This was followed by more detailed information being distributed to them.

According to the information, the employer is a family of three, Mr. Paber and his wife, and their daughter. In addition to the hired blood elves and dragon mercenary groups and the white vulture mercenary group, they themselves have a full twenty accompanying guards.

Their mission was to escort Mr. Paber's family to Valesia, about 300 kilometers from Lin López, within a month, and to ensure the safety of Mr. Paber's family in the process.

"That's all there is to it?" Andrew asked, "I mean, isn't there any information about the opponents? The road to Valesia from here is not particularly safe, but at least it doesn't require them to spend a fortune to keep themselves safe. ”

Kevin said, "It's only 300 kilometres from here to Valesia, and it's not a difficult road. Isn't that a little too much time for a month? Walk 10 kilometers a day? They don't don't have horses, right? If not, I can give them a few, which doesn't cost much compared to the commission. ”

Hannah shook her head, "I don't have any other information to comment on at the moment. The point, I don't know. You can only find out for yourselves. The address is here, and we will depart at five o'clock tomorrow morning. Good luck. ”

Both Andrew and Kevin silently widened their eyes as they looked at Hannah.

If the reward for this task drops below one thousand gold coins, there is no doubt that there will be no mercenary group above level 5 in the entire Lin Lopez willing to accept it. Because its information is so vague, anyone can sense an unknown risk. However, if it's two thousand gold coins, it's different. Its bounty is worthy of its level of secrecy.

Mercenaries are like that, nothing is impossible, as long as you can afford it. If you don't have a job, there's only one reason, and that's not enough money.

To be honest, the guarantee of two thousand gold coins is actually not much for Andrew. In the past, he was the chief master of the Mage Alliance, and he didn't care about two thousand gold coins at all. Although he has become a mercenary now, didn't he earn more than 5,000 gold coins in the previous month?

Of course, it was frantically piled up by piling up tasks, and some were even half-coaxed and half-cheated. They can't do tasks this way all the time. In the end, it is still necessary to increase the level of the mercenary group and develop by completing high-level tasks.

......

The meeting ended quickly.

After saying goodbye to Hannah, Andrew and Christina left the Adventurers' Guild and went home.

As soon as he entered the house, Andrew asked mysteriously, "Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry, what's wrong?" replied Christina.

"Then don't cook yet. We're going to go on a mission now. ”

"Now, didn't you leave at five o'clock in the morning?"

"That's normal mission time, and this mission is obviously not normal. You pack up first, and we're ready to go now. ”

Christina's eyes widened and she looked at Andrew with a confused expression. hesitated, but finally nodded heavily.

......

As a cunning blood elf, Andrew has a keen sense of danger. At least it is impossible to wait until the danger reaches you to react.

After a brief packing, he and Christina each put on a backpack and a little dry food, and set off for the night.

The address is in a very remote place on the outskirts of Lyn López.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

With just one look, Andrew was stunned.

It was not a small estate. A two-storey building, it looks a little old and a little lacking in repair. There is farmland around, but it has been deserted. There are also ponds, woods. Still, these are nothing, there are many estates like this in the vicinity. The key is...... In front of the building, there were a dozen cavalrymen in light armor!

"Isn't that what these are called, 'Twenty Employer's Guards?'" Andrew muttered to himself as he lay on his stomach in the grass in the distance.

"What's wrong?" asked Christina next to her.

"Look at their stirrups, which I am all too familiar with, the stirrups of the heavily armored cavalry. Although they took off their armor, they did not change out some other things. And their swords, don't you feel that there's a little bit of color in the middle of the sword that is different from the rest of the place? This shows that they are all knights. Andrew whispered, "So many knights, it means that our employer has a knighthood, a lord, or at least an earl." Because the baron could not afford to raise so many knights. However, the lords of Lombard are different from those in the south, and the lords of Lombard do not keep knights. This in turn shows that this lord is not from Lombark. ”

Although the distance was quite far away, and it was still night, Andrew still saw the other party clearly with the elves' excellent eyesight.

"A foreign lord?" asked Christina.

"Yes. The corners of Andrew's mouth rose slightly, and he whispered, "I guess it's a certain lord of the Gustav Empire, because this is only a border with the Gustav Empire." They must have come here through the mountains. And needless to say, this must be a lord who has fled with his family. Why a month? Because they have a lot of stuff to transport, and they're going to go very slowly. For example, gold coins brought from the Gustav Empire. Hehehehehe, in this way, things become reasonable. ”

The more Andrew spoke, the more excited he became, and then reasoned, "A fugitive lord of the Gustav Empire has fled to the territory of the enemy, with twenty elite knights by his side, and he also needs to hire mercenaries to protect his safety. Who could be a threat to him? Let me think about it. Domestic political enemies? It's all here, and domestic opponents can't threaten him anymore. If the foreign ...... The Holy See of the White Bone Light?"

At this, Andrew's expression froze suddenly.
