Chapter 3 Preparing to Go
"Ofregan is on top, hell, I don't want these vicious women's props. "There is no doubt that the only one who will explode on the spot is the disciple of Ofregan, Mobuck, the dwarf slapping his helmet vigorously and roaring loudly, "These priests of the lake gods are the most evil of all, and they will abduct the children of our children of the flames and raise them as food to be eaten in the winter." ”
"Mobuck, you're seventy-one years old. Shure stared at the dwarf expressionlessly for a long time before he sighed deeply, "Don't tell me the fairy tales that scare children in your clan, okay? ”
A dwarf in his seventies, about twenty years old when converted to human age, is considered a young man, but if he can't tell the bedtime story and reality, he really can't say it, of course, to rule out the possibility that he was intentional in the first place.
"Okay, but I don't accept it either! These women are dark inside, I ......"
"No problem, it's better not to accept, Bishop Bonita, the blessing of water is not easy to make, especially after the blessing of the gods, you should be ......happy if someone saves one for you"
"Wait, Captain, I figured it out, I can't make these women feel better, I want it too, and I want two. ”
"Go on a dream, and from now on you shut up for me, or I'll silence you. Shul didn't bother to deal with the complaining fool anymore, "Anyway, the blessing of water is one for each person, and I think it makes up for the risk everyone has taken." ”
Indeed, the blessing of water is a very precious sacred item, and it can even be said that it is priceless. Although I don't know how to make it, it is certain that it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to make each one, and it is very rare for the Temple of Water to give away two or three a year, and most of the time, the temple will give away at most one a year.
It is extremely rare to give away seven at once like this, and it is only three thousand years ago in the Age of Chaos, when the nine heroes fought for the goddess Wendy, and after fighting against the cultists of the evil gods, each of them received a blessing of water. By the way, it must be explained that the evil god who was fought at that time seemed to be a name that hung on Mobuck's lips every day, and those evil god believers actually had a name, that is, the Flame Warrior, well, it was the Guardian Corps of the Vulcan Church.
Such a precious prop actually has only one function, but it is this only role that makes the vast majority of fighters rush to it, and it is also coveted by countless high-ranking power-holders. This prop can be actively used every ten days, taking effect for half an hour at a time, during which it is immune to all toxin effects, even if the poison is used before, the toxin can be quickly discharged after the prop takes effect, for many people, it is equivalent to several more lives, and it is no wonder that the blessing of water will be sought after by countless people.
Everyone was surprised, even Moria and Saf had just learned about it, but everyone controlled their emotions very well and did not express their thoughts.
"That's all for the remuneration, one last chance to raise an objection for you, no, let's get into the pre-war arrangement. ”
The two water believers were surprised to find that as soon as Xiu'er said that he had started the task arrangement, the group of noisy and chaotic guys in front of him suddenly fell silent, and the soundproof enchantment instantly became silent. Originally, the elder Bonita still felt in her heart that these unruly lone mercenaries looked unreliable at all, but seeing their sudden focused attitude, some people even took out a pen and paper to prepare a detailed record, it seemed that these people were not impossible to trust.
Of course, you have to focus, the seventh article of the mercenary code, the pre-battle arrangement is the most important meeting during the mission, every piece of information may be related to life and death, and every time you ignore a piece of information, your chances of survival will be greatly reduced, not only your own, but also your teammates'. Any mercenary who doesn't pay attention to the pre-war arrangement will definitely not survive three missions.
Everyone has seen too much of this idiot's tragic ending in the end, how can you still not focus.
"The mission objective, the Heart of Water, the secondary objective, all the oddities that can be obtained 'at hand'. ”
"You don't need to know what the Heart of Water is, you don't need to discuss the importance of the Heart of Water, it's none of our business, what we have to do is to take Pastor Kelly to find the Heart of Water, and then help her get it, and finally bring her back. Note that the mission is focused on keeping her safe, which is everyone's number one priority. ”
"Mr. Wright, I'm ......," Kelly couldn't go on, because she found that at some point, Shure seemed to have changed as a person, and even his gaze became sharp and full of oppression.
"Pastor Kelly, I've told you before, and I'm going to emphasize it again. You want to enter the Otherworldly Projection with us, you can, but you have to remember that you must obey my orders absolutely. From now on, as long as I have an order, you will be like a marionette, complete it without compromise, even if I order you to strip naked immediately, you will not hesitate to carry it out. ”
"If you can do it, the mission continues, and if you can't do that, then I'm sorry, the mission will be terminated immediately. Now I'm going to ask you one last time, can you do that?"
"I ...... No problem. Although Bonita on the side showed resistance to such a request, Kelly still looked indifferent and nodded expressionlessly.
"Eh, then, try it first?" Lin Jing looked at Kelly with big shining eyes, and said blankly, "Why don't you take one off now?"
"Moria, don't mess around. He knocked the fawn's head a few times with a serious face, but secretly gave her a thumbs up, obviously this timely-paced act of easing the atmosphere, "Pastor Kelly, since you said you could do it, then the first order, because you don't know when to speak, so, once the mission begins, I have not asked for your opinion during any discussion, so please do not bring it up on the spot, unless, you think that if you don't bring it up, there will be 'certainly' casualties immediately." ”
Nodding indifferently, Kelly didn't say a word.
"I know what you just wanted to say, but to say that those are pure wastes of time, if you really enter the Otherworldly Projection with the idea that you can be discarded as a consumable at any time, you probably won't survive a day. As long as you treat this operation as a dangerous transport mission, you are the item being transported, and it is possible for you to get out alive. So, that kind of nonsense goes without saying. ”
Nodding her head again, Kelly really got into the groove and didn't make a sound at all.
"Continuing with the topic just now, due to her presence, she is responsible for the treatment tasks of ordinary situations, and I am mainly responsible for assisting, and everyone adjusts their tactics by themselves and does not go wrong. In case of emergency, refer to the situation on the spot, rely on experience, and if there is a situation where the on-the-spot reaction is contrary, my choice shall prevail. ”
It should be so, every mission is like this, this time it's just one more outsider, although what Xiuer said is vague, but everyone already understands very well, once there is an emergency, everyone completely ignores this outsider, and acts according to the original cooperation habits, as for whether to save the outsider, it is subject to Xiuer's choice.
"At this point, are there any questions? ”
"Boss, I haven't found a specific target in the otherworldly projection, and I don't know what the characteristics of the Heart of Water are, so it's hard to find. "Although Macajaren is only participating in the Shadow Chase for the second time, he has cooperated many times in the area of Parvatiga, and knows that his main responsibility is to search for items, so he must ask questions clearly.
"You don't have to think about that, it's Pastor Kelly's job to determine the location of the Heart of Water, and we can't find anyone but her. Dispelling the halfling's concerns, Shul looked around to make sure that the others had no doubts, and continued, "Here's the specific schedule. ”
"Gather everyone here in such a hurry, you have all worked hard, don't mess around tonight, rest and regain your energy. Tomorrow a day of free activities, prepare for the shadow of the material, the day after tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning at the city gate to gather on time to set off, after the time does not wait. Mia, what questions do you have?"
"The material compensation of three thousand gold coins per person, that means that there is no target?" said the mountain elf with a frown, "It seems that there is not enough time to measure the internal environment, so several general situations must be prepared." ”
"No, it's targeted, you only need to prepare one, and the rest of the gold coins are earned. ”
Shure didn't care at all that the deceived person was around, in fact, this was also intentional, explaining the situation on the spot, for the people of the Temple of Water, it was just a harmless little trick and a little joke, at most they felt that they couldn't cry or laugh, and they wouldn't really have any opinions, but if they knew about it through other channels afterwards, it would be different.
"Ahem, Mr. Wright, it's not the same as promised. Sure enough, Bonita resisted the urge to roll her eyes and protested, "When you negotiated yesterday afternoon, didn't you say that you couldn't judge the internal environment and needed to prepare five kinds of materials, so you asked for the 20,000 gold coins?"
"Well, I'm exaggerating, you've been fooled. Shuer's face was taken for granted, making people want to punch him a few times, "cheat money...... No, no, no, negotiation skills are just human nature, and it's just 20,000 gold coins, so you don't have to take it to heart. ”
When it is normal to deceive people, why don't you take 20,000 gold coins to heart. Bonita had so much to say that she couldn't find where to start.
"In fact, for the normal team, this financial investment is necessary, because they do need to prepare a variety of response materials. And our team, because of its rich experience, can use experience to judge that this investment is saved, which we saved by our ability, and we can't say that you have suffered a loss, right? ”
It seemed to make sense, and Bonita found that she couldn't argue, so she could only smile bitterly: "How do you judge the situation inside?"
"It's very simple, knowing that there is a heart of water in it, you can judge the approximation. Shul said with certainty, "That area will give birth to the Heart of Water, which must be the extreme worship caused by extreme circumstances, just like Lord Anika was born in the Maika Forest, Lord Wendy was born in the middle of Lake Saluk, the largest inland lake in Parvatiga, and Lord Sailo was born in the summit of Mount Washiba, where hurricanes continue to occur all year round. ”
"I see, that is, it's an area full of water, is it the sea?"
"There must be a terrestrial element in the otherworldly projection, so even if it is an island. Shuer shook his head and said, "But there is another situation that is completely opposite, hehe, let's talk about it then." ”
"This is a list of key items, so let's claim them and determine which ones they are responsible for purchasing, and as for the items they need, everyone decides for themselves. ”
"Dissolve now, gather the day after tomorrow, if you don't have a place to live in the past two days, you can live in the hall temporarily. ”
