Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mercenary Mission, the Adventure Journey Depends on It
"The dish is good" The two of us talked, Xiao Er put the hot two dishes on the table, I lowered my eyebrows and glanced at it, surprised, I didn't expect the old rules in Ren Jianmani's mouth to be exactly the same as the one I had eaten here before, a plate of tiger meat, a plate of Nanlin Mangosteen, before the dish was served, I still prayed in my heart, hoping that the old rules that Ren Jianmad and Xiao Er said should be more leisurely, after all, there are only a few dozen carts left in my money bag, in case the money is not enough when settling the account, it will be bad. β
"Yo, it's ready, Vig, try the tiger meat in this store, you haven't eaten it before. Ren Jianfang spoke, picked up chopsticks and tasted them first.
"Uh-huh... It's still that taste. β
I gave him a blank look and didn't speak, picked up my chopsticks and tasted them.
"The wine is coming!" Xiao Er beckoned with a small jar of wine.
Ren Jianfang got up and took over the wine jar from Xiao Er's hand, first filled a glass for himself, drank it all with "Gu Dong", and then looked at me and asked, "How about Weige, are you interested in having a drink with me?"
"It is estimated that now the soldiers of the whole country have been dispatched to arrest you and me, and you still have such Yaxing..."I thought to myself, waved at him and continued to eat.
"In the future, I will call you Xiaojian, Ren Jian is crazy and Ren Jian is crazy and screams murderous, really deflated. I looked up at him as I ate and said.
"Okay... Hahahaha, you don't know, my name is not the most bluffing, there is a swordsman villa in this country of tribulations, what do you guess the name of the owner there?"
"Sky Destroying Sword. I shook my head helplessly, as soon as my words fell, and then looked at Ren Jianfang's previous excited appearance, as if the words had reached the mouth without spitting out unpleasantness, suddenly there was a big reversal, and his expression suddenly became sluggish, and he asked, "How do you know?"
"Why can't I know?" I asked him.
"It's okay, let's eat. Ren Jianfang began to drink again as he spoke.
"How much is this wine?" I asked in a low voice, the price of tiger meat and Nanlin mangosteen was within my control after all, and suddenly a small jar of wine came, to be honest, I felt faintly hairy in my heart, and subconsciously reached out and touched the money bag in my arms, for fear that I would surprise me when I checked out.
"It's not expensive, it's not much. Ren Jianmad responded to me with a so-so look.
I secretly glanced at Xiao Er, and seeing that he was busy, I put my head in front of Ren Jianfang, and whispered: Xiao Jian, to be honest with you, I have a total of dozens of carts left, you still have to give me a bottom in advance, if it's not enough, I'll find a way, but don't..."
As soon as my words fell, the sip of wine that Ren Jianfang had just drunk was sprayed on my face with a "poof" in his mouth.
I was so angry with the sip of wine that I retracted my poked head, and I wanted to curse.
Ren Jianfang tilted his head slightly and glanced at the little two with his spare eyes, confirming that the little two was busy and didn't pay attention to the two of us, he also leaned over and whispered like me: "Really, isn't it? Vig, are you so poor?"
I reached out and wiped the wine stains from my face, shrugged my shoulders and nodded.
"It's miserable, let's not talk about the dishes, just this jar of wine, but it costs one hundred and fifty carts..."
"Ahh β
"Don't worry, don't worry, after all, I'm also the old customer of this tavern, I'll go and discuss with the little second to discuss whether I can make a blank slip first, and then slowly return it to him when I have money in the future." After Ren Jianfang finished speaking, he got up and stood behind me, patted me on the shoulder, and walked straight towards the little er.
"Alas, it's a shame. I thought to myself, a pair of eyes stared at the little two, and when the little two looked at me, I immediately turned my eyes away, and suddenly looked like a thief.
Ren Jian walked over and chatted with the little two for a few words, stretched out his hand and pointed to the table on my side, the little two nodded again and again, and seemed to be very polite.
"This little er is really a good person, he is so polite after eating the overlord meal..."I suddenly had admiration for that little er.
"It's all said!" Ren Jianfang sat back down across from me, and as he spoke, he began to eat the food in a big gulp, looking like he had solved everything.
"How?" I asked softly, now that this is happening, I can't eat a bite of food.
"Ah, I told him..."
"Quietly, quietly..."I heard him speak too loudly, and quickly stopped him with eyebrows and eyes.
"Oh... I told him that the master over there, that is, you, is my friend, and the next time you come back, you must take good care of it, and don't slack off. β
"And then?"
"Xiao Er said, okay, I know the master. β
"And then?"
"I'll be back. Ren Jianfang said with a reasonable look, and I was angry at the bullfight.
"Xiaojian, I didn't ask you to go and discuss people's homes, what are you going to pretend to be? What are you doing?"
"Hehe..."Ren Jianfang chewed the vegetables in his mouth, and after listening to my words, he actually wanted to laugh but laughed out loud.
"If you do this again, I'll turn against you!" I suddenly stood up and raised my voice in anger.
"Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Er heard that the situation on my side was wrong, and walked over with a concerned face.
"It's okay, it's okay, little second brother, I've bothered you, I've bothered you. I looked at the little second and suddenly blushed, and hurriedly said with a pleasant face.
"Master, you are too polite. β
"It should be, it should be. β
"Little Er, go and get another jar of wine for the master. Ren Jianmad suddenly reprimanded on the side.
"Yes, you eat first, and I'll take it for you. β
"Hey, hey... The little second brother walks slowly..."I looked at the back of the little second brother and smiled respectfully.
Seeing the little two go away, I lowered my eyebrows and looked at the Ren Jian Maniac who kept eating and laughing, I really turned all the dishes on this table upside down, I was so angry, I was about to explode, and I didn't dare to make too much noise, so I had to sit back on the stool honestly.
"Xiaojian, are you crazy?" I forced the anger in my heart and asked him with a serious face.
"Hahahaha..." As soon as my words fell, the sword maniac suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed.
"Don't laugh!" my teeth were already crunching.
"Forget it, I won't tease you, I won't tease you, rest assured, this wine, three carts and one jar, you can afford it. Ren Jian said this madly, but he still couldn't stop laughing.
"Poof... Your grandfather!" I cursed with a long sigh of relief.
"Seriously, Vig, there's one more thing I didn't tell you, and I guess you don't know. β
"What's the matter?"
"Mercenary mission. β
"What?"
"To put it simply, it is the officials of various countries, or perhaps the rich squires and ordinary people, who take out a sum of money to hire people to help them solve the troubles they want to solve, and this kind of people who use people's money to eliminate disasters for others are collectively called world mercenaries. β
"That's what you did before?"
"Almost, what I'm doing is just the mercenaries of the Hundred Tribulation Country, and all I deal with are the affairs of the Hundred Tribulation Country, compared with the mercenaries of the world, it's too far behind, they often cross more than a dozen countries or even dozens of countries to complete the task, this alone, I can't do it at all, but, since we're going to Demon Ridge, then we can take a look at the mercenary task bar when passing through each country, as long as there are countries in the task bar that we can pass through, then we can write it down, and do the task by the way when passing through that country, so that we can get a lot of income, enough to spend on the roadγ β
"Do you want to go back to the country you've already passed by to hand in the mission after you've completed the mission?"
"There is no need at all, but any client who issues a mercenary mission will pay the commission to the Knights of Light, that is, a group of knights scattered throughout the Eastern Continent by Old Sam who are responsible for maintaining peace and order, no matter what country we are in, as long as you complete the task, you can go to the Knights of Light in this country to receive commissions. β
"Oooh... What kind of tasks do you usually have?"
"Well... It's hard to say, you will know when the time comes, the road to the Demon Ridge is a huge expense, and every group of people who go to the Demon Ridge have to take on hundreds of tasks along the way, if there is no such mercenary task as economic support, then I am afraid that people will starve to death before they reach the Demon Ridge. β
"Do everyone have to honestly do mercenary missions in exchange for commissions?"
"It's not, a few years ago, there were many people who relied on robberies to capture Carter, and then these people's journey was not halfway through, so let Old Man Sam be wiped out, don't think about using your brains, or earn commissions honestly, once the news of your adultery reaches the ears of the Knights of Light, I dare to swear that those Knights of Light and even Old Man Sam will definitely hunt you down to the end of the Eastern Continent. β
"The wine is here, two masters, you use it slowly. β
"I came just in time, it just so happened that my jar of wine has reached the bottom, hurry up, fill it for the master. β
"Well, look at it. β
