Chapter XVII

"Come, introduce me. The farce was finally over, and the two ladies, Marlene and Valentina, pressed Duck to sit down in front of Shure. As if completely ignoring the chaos just now, Shuer said with a normal expression, "Sitting in front of you are all the members who need to be escorted for this mission. I don't need to worry about you (who cares if you die!), the safety of the four of them must be guaranteed. ”

Immediately turning to his sister and Tarina, Shul said very seriously: "This is the mercenary baron Mr. Dark, the two ladies are his most powerful subordinates, the second of the four Dark Guards, and his external braking device, once his intelligence falls into an abnormal state, the four guards are responsible for helping him wake up, well, just like you just saw." ”

"Damn Shure, you're slandering me again, duel, I'm going to duel with you. Alas, alas, don't pinch me, whoa, whoa, whoa, alas. ”

In the background sound of Dark's cacophony, Lisa and Talina looked at Shul in confusion, completely unaware of what was so special about the people he introduced, and it was no wonder that they were not from the mercenary circle, and were not familiar with the situation of mercenaries and most of the warlords.

In fact, the mercenary baron Darke Shadu, a well-known figure in mercenary circles, even those mercenaries who have already entered the legendary tier, have to be careful with this name.

Darker is known as a baron, not the nickname-like title most people imagine, he is a real baron, the only one who has been knighted as an active mercenary and has retained his status as a mercenary after becoming a nobleman. He has hereditary titles, fiefs that belong to him, and people who belong to him. is a real nobleman, even if it is the kind of aristocratic family whose eyes are above the top, even if he is reluctant, he must be treated with aristocratic etiquette.

He was awarded the title of nobleman five years ago, when he led his dark mercenary group of eighty iron horsemen, at the invitation of the prince of the Holy Knight Kingdom, he fought 1,200 kilometers in three days and nights, and when the local lords abandoned the city and fled, he defended the three cities in the tide of demonic beasts that were in danger of destruction due to the disturbance of the heart of the city. Saved 60,000 people of the kingdom.

Afterwards, Prince William was bent on becoming more than the public, punished the lord for dereliction of duty, and transferred the barony to Dak Sadus, making him leap into the ranks of the nobility. However, no one expected that the new baron, who loves freedom and is unrestrained by nature, would actually entrust the affairs of the territory to the governor sent by the kingdom, and he floated away with the mercenary group and never returned to the kingdom of the Holy Knights.

Since then, the name of the mercenary baron has become louder and louder in Jianfeng City, and the name of the Dark Mercenary Group has also flourished in the circle of mercenaries.

Of course, this is not only because of his aristocratic status, for the mercenaries who dance in blood and death, the aristocratic status is nothing, it is not worth mentioning at all, even if the status is as noble as a duke or even a monarch, if he or his command does not have strong strength, he will not be taken seriously, the reason why the dark mercenary group is famous is mainly because they have the strength to match their reputation.

Powerful strength.

A mercenary group, five gold-level warriors, forty high-level knights, and forty ordinary knights, this kind of strength is enough to shake a corps of the three empires head-on, coupled with the extraordinary mobility of the mercenary group, unless the main force of the ace legion of the three empires arrives in person, no one dares to say that they can force back the dark mercenary group.

With this level of strength, the Dark Mercenary Regiment is synonymous with reliability and, of course, with high cost.

Just like the task entrusted by Xiuer, if it is handed over to an ordinary mercenary group, more than a hundred and a maximum of two hundred gold coins, you can find a mercenary group with the same number and good strength, but if it is replaced by a dark mercenary group, the price of three times is too little, and it is naturally too little, which shows how confident they are.

"If it's too expensive, you don't want to hire us, greedy kobolds, scheming ants, keep your gold coins to go home and make beds." Duck roared like an idiot, "I've decided, I won't take your task, even if there are beautiful women, you bastard every time you count gold coins, you have to rub it with sandpaper, just to grind a little gold dust and save it, don't think I didn't see it." No, no, no, I ......"

"Shut up!" Valentina punched Duck on the head, "The contract has been signed, do you pay the liquidated damages?"

"Woo, Vana you have changed, you will knock my head for money, woo woo, don't you love me, I'm so sad. ”

"Well, I can't love you. Marlene, who was snuggled on the other side, touched the place where he had been knocked like a child, peeled a flat kernel fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't mess with Vanna." ”

"No, feed it in another way, it won't taste sweet. ”

"Well, I'm satisfied, we didn't fight hard at all just now, and we've been making trouble for so long, really. ”

"Brother, these people ...... Is it really possible?" Realizing that they had just been fists and kicks, and in a blink of an eye, they were still openly flirting, Lisa felt that she was about to collapse, "Are they really not going to bring us into the mouth of the monster?"

"Don't worry, they're professionals, especially the pervert (who's the pervert?), and they're the best of the professionals. ”

Indeed, there is no doubt about Dark's level of professionalism.

As a believer in Seminya, the Night Sky Lady, although he inevitably has some quirks, his strength is absolutely extraordinary.

Legend has it that he is the most powerful knight in the night, and the nightmare beast that sits down is a gift from Lord Seminya himself, and he can even go to the heavens and the earth with the nightmare beast.

What is even more enviable is the weapon in his hand, the Tears of the Blood Rose. A beautiful red rose, but made of a special metal, with the support of Dou Qi, the metal can change shape at will and be fixed into the shape of various weapons, just right for his fighting style.

His fighting style is as strange as his weapons, and it is said that he can skillfully use any weapon in the world, whether it is a melee or ranged weapon, as long as it is a physical attack, he can use it with ease, and can even use the power of the weapon to the extreme.

This was also confirmed by Shuer, and Shuer also had to admit that Dark's understanding and mastery of weapons was stronger than him, and he was the only physical professional who would not be suppressed by Shuer in close combat under the premise of the same rank, and the two had beaten each other many times for various boring reasons, but unfortunately, the winner had not yet been distinguished.

Shuer even wanted to add Dakra to his own shadow chasing team at one point, but on the one hand, he had his own mercenary group to take care of, and it was impossible to be as dedicated as others, on the other hand, this guy's personality was too jumpy, there were too many unstable factors, and the most important thing was that it was not easy to control, so in the end, the two sides still regrettably parted ways, and only by chance would they get together again to enter the otherworldly projection.

"Now you see, don't worry about him, Lisa, with this perverted team, there's no problem with security. ”

"So, who is a pervert, bastard, I didn't watch my peers who didn't listen to the command being cut into pieces by the death trap, and I was still explaining the effects and practicality of the trap to everyone, and I didn't break into the house of a human wolf who was eating, telling her that she shouldn't sleep so loudly when she ate corpses in the middle of the night, compared to you, my metamorphosis is far worse, and I actually said that I am a pervert, won't your conscience hurt?"

"There is an old saying in my hometown, no matter how reasonable persuasion is, it can't save the person who is bent on looking for death, he doesn't listen to the advice and falls into a Jedi, what does it have to do with me, as for Serena, she didn't eat people, at least not for the time being, of course I can only persuade her to eat elegantly and not be so earth-shattering, and, at least I didn't ask her to maintain the form of a human wolf once, nor was she chased for more than 30 kilometers, what is there to hurt in my conscience. Finding that Lisa was looking at herself with strange eyes, Shul coughed awkwardly a few times, and quickly changed the subject, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you, if you can accept this commission." ”

"Why?" Darker suddenly put away his banter and jump, and for a moment became like a competent leader, patted the hands of the two ladies holding his arm to let them go, leaned forward, and asked with oppression, "I just want to know why." ”

"Hmm, what, why?"

"I won't ask anyone else, but you're Shuer, so I have to ask, why hire us. ”

"Because you have enough strength, of course. ”

"I want to hear the truth. Duck said with a calm face, "You are too cunning, and too scheming, I can't compare to you than my brain, so I don't plan to go around in circles with you, I just want to hear the answer." ”

"With your strength and leadership, if you want to take someone to the Lion City, it is enough to hire a few mercenaries to train them, and you can also save more than half of the gold coins. Well, your dedication to gold coins is obvious to all, and it is even more uncomfortable to let you spend a few hundred gold coins for no reason than to kill you, and it is definitely not your style to spend money on our high-priced services for nothing. So, you tell me why you have to hire us, and knowing this answer, I can make a judgment on whether to take your assignment or not. ”

"Oh, interesting, such a simple question. Shuer was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered, shook his head, and said, "You guy is still so cautious." ”

"I'm not Mia and Miridy's stupid pair, even if I know you're well-intentioned, I'm not interested in being calculated, I must at least know beforehand how you're going to calculate me. ”

"Well, then I'll tell you the truth. Shul sighed and tilted his head to look at Lisa, "This is Lisa, the cutest sister in the world. ”

"Hey. The girl already knew what Shuer wanted to say, and smiled sweetly at her brother.

"That's Tarina, and the two children are Eddie and Sophie, both of whom are the future of the Darkmoon Temple. ”

"Duck (be careful if I blow your dog's head again), well, Duck, how many gold do you think it will cost to be equivalent to the future of the Darkmoon Temple, and how much gold will it cost to be worthy of the safety of my sister?"

"Understood. He didn't go into any further details, but Darkk had already understood Shuer's thoughts, "Commissioned to be established, the Dark Mercenary Regiment, ready to go at any time." ”
