"Tsk, it's the Dark Guard who came out as a liaison. Shur muttered a few words in a voice that no one else could hear, and then changed to a sincere smile, and his finger brushed in front of the woman, "In the holy name of the moonless moon, bless you, child of darkness, and may the shadow be by your side forever." ”

"Darkmoon ......" The corner of the woman's eyes twitched, and she said with a smile, "Could it be that Your Excellency is Mr. Wright of the Darkmoon Temple?"

"Hehehe, yes, this is Lisa, the archbishop of the Temple of the Dark Moon, the mortal walker of the Lightless Moon, the servant of Lord Luna's generation, and the employer of this mission. ”

"The employer isn't you?"

"We are all Apostles of the Dark Moon, and we have sworn to serve our Lord forever under the Holy Seat of the Archbishop. ”

"I see, she's the spiritual leader, but it's right to talk to you about something. ”

"Uh......" Xiuer scratched his head, what is the situation of this person, he has obviously understood, do you have to say it so directly, sincerely.

"As you say, walkers in the night. No one expected that Lisa actually stood up directly, holding a black scepter, and the girl wearing a full moon crown looked thin and small, but the action of taking a step forward actually carried a compelling momentum, "This body has been dedicated to my lord, and many mundane things are done by my brother." Please discuss the entrusted matter with my brother in detail, no need to worry too much, my brother's will is my will. ”

"Understood. The woman looked at Lisa thoughtfully, nodded, and said, "Please come with me, we have prepared a quieter place." ”

The location that the other party is pointing to is actually still in a noisy tavern, but the people around have been blown away, and it is relatively quiet, well, at least the conversation at a normal volume can be heard by each other, and there is no need to shout loudly.

There was actually a woman lazily lying on the table, with a pile of dried fruit husks scattered on the table, and a half-empty wine glass was at hand. Hearing the voice, the woman lying on her stomach raised her head.

The woman was about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, with a bit of fierceness between her eyebrows, heavy armor, a knight's heavy sword standing at the table, a sturdy shield at her feet, and a strip of cloth wrapped around the handle of the shield, which was old but still clean.

"Tsk. As soon as she saw Shuer, the woman frowned, looked disinterested, leaned on her arm again, waved her hand, and said, "Valentina, are they the client?"

"Well, you're going to be your employer for a while, Marlene. ”

"I don't want it. Marlene's muffled voice squeezed out of her arm, "It's too troublesome, can you not pick it up." ”

"It's my business to talk about tasks, and whether you take them depends on the specific situation. The bronzed-skinned woman known as Valentina had a completely businesslike attitude, "Everyone, please take a seat, because many of the conditions for this appointment have not been agreed in advance, although because of some hobbies of the head of the group, everyone has to accept the commission temporarily, but it is uncertain whether the specific cooperation can be successful." In order to avoid the failure of the negotiation and the loss of your deposit of 200 gold coins, we will try our best to avoid overly harsh conditions in order to facilitate the conclusion of the cooperation conditions. But...... I hope you can show sincerity as well, I'm not the head of Dark, and I'm not interested in wasting time on a mission like that. ”

"Well, wasn't it decided before the name? No need to ask, they must have done it on purpose. Marlene raised her head again, and the red spots on her forehead that were covered by the hand armor looked particularly happy, "Duck said, this guy is the most cunning, if he finds out any conspiracy, just find him out and beat him to death, there is absolutely no unjust, false or wrongful conviction." ”

The Lord said, Don't be angry at being misunderstood, for being misunderstood is only a test given by fate. The Lord said, Do not hold a grudge against the evil words of others, for all the evil words you have endured are redemption for the sins of the past. Shur didn't care at all about Marlene's evaluation, and said with a holy smile, "Following the teachings of the Lord, I forgive the two of you for your verbal attacks, and praise the name of the moon, holy." ”

"So what?" Valentina didn't pay any attention to Shuer's nonsense about going around in circles, and asked simply and directly, "Marlene is right?"

"That's right, I did it on purpose. Shul shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Isn't it obvious, you mercenaries have always regarded yourself as knights, and you have always been honest, and there are many vague places where you are written, just to induce you to make more concessions when negotiating, well, just like you just said." ”

"Your Excellency. Valentina was calm enough, at least not yet, to slap the table on Shure's face, "I don't know what friendship you have with our head of the regiment, and I don't know if you get along with him like this, but I know that I am the one who talks about business now." ”

"If you're upset because I just over-pressed you and this Archbishop Lisa's decision-making power, well, as one of the masterminds of a large mercenary group, I have to figure out those questions, but I really didn't ask tactfully, and I can apologize if anyone has been harmed. However, if it is not for this reason, but for the intention of your Excellency Shur to entertain me, then I must also remind you that it is up to me to decide whether to undertake this mission or not. ”

"Well, that's enough. Xiuer sighed, "Since we will at least cooperate for a short time in the future, then I won't care about these little things, you apologize, I apologize, everyone forget about this unpleasantness, and now start to negotiate sincerely." ”

Valentina nodded with a sinking face, but immediately added: "I'm sorry, whether we will cooperate in the future has not yet been decided." ”

"Actually, that pervert should have told you, if I really have the sincerity to do something, I will definitely let the other party take the initiative to accept it, very coincidentally, this mission, I am indeed very sincere. ”

"Since I have just decided to show sincerity, then I won't go around in circles, the specific content, I have already listed, this is the details, please see. ”

The two women couldn't help but glance at each other, and Shuer became so crisp, which was really beyond their expectations. Although they had not dealt directly with Shuer, they had heard a lot about his deeds from someone, so they had always felt that this negotiation would be very troublesome, and no one expected that he would put on such a crisp attitude, making the two of them feel as uncomfortable as a punch into the air.

As a result, the details were hurriedly browsed, and the two looked at each other for a while, not too harshly, but ......

"Your Excellency, your details ......"

"That's right, all the content is based on the bottom line that you can accept by floating up by five to ten percent, and I said, this time I am very sincere, so I came up with a win-win plan. ”

"The first point, the task reward, five hundred and sixty gold coins. Escorting the five of us, according to my estimate, your Dark Knights should send two high-ranking knights, four full-ranking knights, and four servants, a total of ten people. The price of 560 gold is slightly lower, but there is a return priority later, which means that you don't need air defense on your return trip, and you don't have to look for a return mission in an unfamiliar city. In this way, the price is not a loss. ”

Nodding, Marlene and Valentina could only nod, the conditions proposed by Shul were certainly not tempting, but they were quite orthodox and a decent business, and the mercenary group was completely acceptable.

"The second point, in terms of materials, we have made concessions, the strategic materials are prepared by you, but the living materials of our clients are prepared by ourselves, and on the premise of not affecting your strategy, we will arrange them ourselves, money is a trivial matter, and you can save a lot of trouble. ”

Indeed, this arrangement is very convenient. The Dark Mercenary Group often performs escort missions, and has always known how troublesome it is for character escorts, and many employers know that they are away from home, and they will have a lot of requirements for daily life, such as not eating well, living uncomfortably, and having no place to take a bath, which often makes the escorted mercenaries annoying. If you can avoid this trouble, then the escort mission is much more cute.

"Thirdly, although there are warfighters among us, we will not dictate your tactical arrangements as employers, and will strictly avoid participating in battles according to your commands, and if we are out of your protective circle due to our own reasons, we will be responsible for our own safety. ”

This is simply too intimate, the client who has no combat effectiveness at all is not terrible, the most terrible thing is those who are self-righteous with a little combat effectiveness, not only pointing fingers at the mercenaries, but also running around when they encounter trouble, artificially increasing the difficulty of the task, because this kind of client makes trouble, causing the mercenary group to suffer heavy losses.

"If you can really do the above three things, then this trip will undoubtedly be quite a pleasant cooperation. Valentina's tone had changed, "But this fourth point...... Additional manpower?"

"Yes, we have the right to request additional escorts when we need them, and of course, we will increase the previous price appropriately. The corners of Shuer's mouth curled, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, "This is just in case, you think, what if on the way back, our team suddenly expands a little, and the ten-person escort team is not enough? ”

"That's true, but why do I always think that what you said earlier is so beautiful, but in fact, the trap is hidden here?" Marlene squinted at Shuer, "When the time comes, we will suddenly ask for thirty or forty additional people, and we can only transfer troops from the headquarters." If the price is normal, the price of this task of transferring thousands of kilometers to pick up people can be much higher than that of a one-way escort. ”

Hahaha, you're so smart.

Of course, Shul would not admit it, but said with a smile: "This is just just in case, in fact, even if it is not indicated in advance, according to professional ethics, you will do it." ”

That's right.

The two women sighed secretly, the very reasonable price, coupled with Shuer's personal relationship, they had been convinced.

"Hehehe, then I wish you all a happy cooperation. They didn't need to speak, Shul had already seen it, and took the initiative to shake hands and said, "I wonder which of the two will go on this mission with Dark?" Oh, Lady Marlene, then please take care of it, and leave tomorrow, the others can catch up." ”

"They've actually arrived. Marlene said wistfully, "You know it in your own heart. ”

"Duck has arrived, too?" Shul was rather surprised, "It's really rare that you haven't jumped out to make trouble for so long, so you won't be knocked unconscious." ”

"Commander, he ......"

"Ahh

"You understand?"

"Hehe, I see. ”
