Chapter 09: Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Group (3)
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.
Andrew's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Bian VI.
Bian VI was still smiling, staring at Andrew, waiting for an answer. After a while, Andrew could only reply embarrassedly, "Have you forgotten? He has already introduced me just now, my name is Durau." The leader of the Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Regiment. โ
"But Duru is not the name that the Blood Elves would use. Bian VI looked down at the notebook in his hand and said, "Similar names, the blood elves may be called Andrew, or Drew, but no blood elves will be named Duroux." Blood elves are much more conservative than wood elves. I know that their name must be derived from the ancient elven coat of arms, and there is no one named Druru in it. It's a name that only humans can give. So what's your real name? Where the hell did you come from?"
Andrew's expression froze.
Bian VI was still smiling. This kind of laughter, Andrew has never seen anywhere else. It's a joke, but it's aggressive, as if it's asking. The opponent suddenly changed from a stupid dragon who said and believed to a cunning goblin merchant, and he was particularly cunning, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Can you tell me? Please don't worry about the upset of me if I change my words, I don't mind the early deception, it's normal, who doesn't have a secret? A bunch of people are lying to me every day. It's my job to identify who is lying and who is telling the truth. Bian VI took a puff on his cigarette, smiled, and continued: "Of course, the more you tell me the truth, the more trust you will have in my heart, and it will be good for you." I hope you don't squander that trust, please tell me your real name. โ
"But my name is Durroux, and I grew up in the human world. Andrew replied stiffly.
"Really?" General Bian VI nodded incredulously, "In Lin Lรณpez, there are a total of one hundred and sixty elven mercenaries, of which thirty-three are blood elves, and I know each of them. I'm sure you didn't grow up in Lin Lรณpez, or even in the North. The concept of the homeland of the blood elves is very, very strong, and most of them will not get married and have children in the human world. If you get married and have children, then the children will also have a strong sense of homeland and will not easily leave the place where they grew up. Normally, there is only one reason why the Blood Elves have left their homeland, and they are in trouble. โ
At this, Bian VI's mouth opened even more and continued to look at Andrew with a grin. His eyes widened, as if he wanted to see through Andrew.
Andrew broke out in a cold sweat: "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing. Bian VI spread his hands: "I'm just reminding you that you told me that you grew up in the human world, and that you told me that the name you used was a pseudonym, it was tantamount to telling me that you had a past that you couldn't say." There should still be enemies, enemies who can force blood elves to wander and dare not say their real names, I guess they must be very powerful. Who could it be......? I can count the organizations in this land that can do this on eight fingers, do you need me to count them?"
The corners of Andrew's mouth twitched. He longed to turn around and walk away. The goblin was so cunning that it was unlike any goblin he'd ever seen.
The atmosphere couldn't have stiffened any more.
"Well, I can forget everything you told me before, and you can re-answer my question. But from this moment on, your answer will be tied to your credit with me. I want to hear a true, irrefutable answer. What's your name?"
It's a bit of a teased feeling.
Andrew stood up and said politely but kindly, "Farewell." โ
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Bian VI hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "I didn't say you have to answer this question. It's not that we won't sign up with you if you don't answer the question. โ
"Are you willing to sign without answering the question?" Andrew looked back confusedly.
"Of course, why not? It's just that if you insist on not telling me your name, it just means that I can't work with you in multiple dimensions. But I still need someone who can restrain Christina, even if this person has a secret that cannot be said, and that is acceptable. However, the cooperation will be limited to the business stage, and there will be an appropriate tilt. Just appropriate. I'm still willing to take another risk to a limited extent. How? Give each other a chance. โ
With wide eyes and a wide open look at the cunning BianVI, Andrew finally sat back: "Okay, let's talk about the specific agreement." โ
To be honest, the negotiation process was somewhat unpleasant. Bian VI took out a contract with very favorable conditions and put it in front of Andrew, and then deleted it one by one in front of Andrew. Many of these conditions have become extremely stringent, and even the commission share given to mercenary groups has been reduced from the original 80% to 60%.
"I'm at risk, you should understand that, right? Business is like that, everything can be converted into profits. I can promise not to ask about your past, but with this uncontrollable risk, you should give me more profit. That's fair, right?"
Andrew began to wonder if he was being calculated. This guy wouldn't know that he wouldn't give his real name at the beginning, so he used an agreement that he couldn't sign at all to show his sincerity, and then signed a harsh agreement, right?
If he had spoken out openly, he would have come up with a different agreement.
What a fox.
"How's it going?
"To be honest, not very satisfied. That being said, Andrew still signed the contract.
Although I am not very satisfied, at least it is better than before. And, indeed, not everyone is so easy to deceive, or willing not to ask about Andrew's past. Based on this, Andrew is too lazy to theorize.
"I wish us a happy cooperation. Next, as a key training object, we will help the Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Group arrange suitable tasks, of course, you can also choose. This is all written in the contract. The service will start this afternoon. โ
Leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Andrew went straight home and showed Christina the contract he had brought back.
Christina, who was cooking, cheered with joy.
"How did you do it!"
"How? I don't know. Today, their boss suddenly hugged my leg and begged me to sign a contract. โ
"Bian VI?"
"I guess it's the name, I can't remember exactly. โ
Christina's eyes began to light up as she looked at Andrew.
From now on, you can take Christina directly in and out of the adventurer's hall with a swagger, and you don't have to hide it anymore. However, there is still a problem to be solved. But that's a minor issue.
After lunch, Andrew took Christina to the Adventurers' Guild. The first stop is the Adventurer Service Center.
The first is to disband the Rat and Dragon Mercenary Group, and then, eliminate one of the members of the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group, add Christina's name, and then give up the position of the head of the mercenary group to Christina.
After all, Andrew has a special status, and the more low-key the better. The name of the head of the regiment is still given to Christina. As long as she is obedient, what is the difference between her and being the head of the regiment?
"I think Mr. Duru should be the head of the group, after all, your contribution to the mercenary group is relatively large. โ
"Have you forgotten? I'm here to help you. And if I become the head of the regiment, then how will your dream of becoming the leader of the great mercenary group be realized?"
"But I don't have to be a great mercenary leader, I can be a great mercenary. I don't think I'm very suitable to be the head of the regiment. โ
"Shhhh Andrew looked at Christina with doting eyes and said softly: "A dream that can be changed is not a dream." You can't, you can learn slowly. I'm willing to teach you. โ
Christina felt that her gaze was so warm that she was about to melt herself, and nodded heavily: "I will work hard, no matter what, I will become a great mercenary captain!
Heh, Andrew just felt so comfortable dealing with that bastard goblin of Bianne VI and then dealing with stupid dragons.
Because of the internal response, the procedures went quite smoothly, that is, the little girl who helped with the procedures was staring at Christina angrily throughout the whole process. There was no way, Andrew had to throw two more flying kisses at her. You have to stabilize it first.
"What about little Andy, little Lynn, little Jeff, little Henry?" asked Christina, confused.
"Are you going to keep it? It's a bunch of rats. โ
"But they're my companions, too. โ
"Forehead......" There was no way, Andrew could only reply: "Then continue to keep it as a pet." But don't register them in the mercenary group, after all, there are a few rats in the team, and it's a headache for the adventurer's guild to send someone to check it. โ
Christina hesitated and nodded, "Okay." โ
Christina is thinking about her mouse, and Andrew is thinking about his fingers. The index finger has withdrawn from the mercenary group. If the ultimate goal is to have five real members, keep the thumb and the middle, ring and little fingers.
Do you want to start recruiting now?
After thinking about it, Andrew said to himself: "According to the most classic adventurer five-person detachment, we need a dwarf or orc heavy striker who is responsible for attracting the attention of the other party and serves as a decoy, an elf or human healer, an elven archer responsible for assassination, an inconspicuous one responsible for intelligence, camouflage and detection of human thieves, and a mage responsible for area killing." โ
Before he could finish speaking, Andrew happened to see a standard team standing not far from him.
Dwarven Heavy Striker, Human Healer, Elven Archer, Human Rogue and Elven Mage.
Christina was visibly stunned when she saw the five people, and the five people were also looking at Andrew and Christina in surprise.
"Forget it, let's just let it be. When is the right person talking. Thinking about it, Andrew took Christina and turned around and left.
Striker Christina can do it, and is certainly thicker than the dwarves. It's just that it may scare the enemy away as soon as it appears, and it can't be used as bait. Elven archer Andrew can barely do it, after all, even if it is not a strong point, elven archery skills will definitely not be bad there. Andrew the thief is also barely okay, the only drawback is that it is too conspicuous, after all, it is an elf. Range-of-effect magicians, Andrew and Christina are fine. There's one healer left, and Christina seems to do.
Actually, it doesn't matter, there shouldn't be many blood elves and dragon mercenary groups that can beat the team that needs healers. Just don't touch those tasks that are too difficult.
Two people, just fill in the positions of five people in the normal mercenary group, and some positions are also very powerful, such as range kill mages.
I heard that the best regiment commander is one who can do any position and can do anything. After all, no one knows which post will suddenly lack people, and only the regiment commander who can be qualified for various posts can command accurately.
Thinking about it, Andrew suddenly felt that he was simply born to be the head of the group, at least three, and it seemed that he could also be a bait or a striker. That's four. It's almost omnipotent. In fact, Christina is okay, she just needs to change her brain. After all, you can do without anything as a group leader, you just can't have no brains, otherwise you will bring the entire mercenary group to the pit.
By the way, because of the tasks done in the previous month, the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group is already a fifth-level mercenary group. In Lin Lupez, the highest-level mercenary group is only level seven.
There are eight seventh-level mercenary groups in the entire Lin Lรณpez, most of which are of the type with a large number of people, and they should even be called mercenary regiments, not mercenary regiments.
There are twenty-five sixth-level mercenary groups, some of which are downsized, and some are outnumbered. There are eighty-one fifth-level mercenary regiments.
In other words, the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group is already a mercenary group of the middle and upper level, and it has a certain popularity.
After ascending to the level 5 mercenary group, if you want to increase the level of the mercenary group, you must complete challenging tasks. Ordinary tasks, no matter how fast and better they are, will not work. Whether or not you can go to level six can be said to be a watershed between a top mercenary group and an ordinary mercenary group.
Of course, Andrew is very confident in this. There is a dragon in the main team, and its combat effectiveness is far from being exerted.
......
After signing the contract, the treatment is really different. In particular, the treatment as a key training object is even different. The place where the quest was picked up was moved to a compartment in the mission hall, and a special person was in charge.
"Hello, a pleasure to serve you. My name is Hannah, and I'm the exclusive mission advisor for the Blood Elves and Dragons Mercenary Regiment. You are Mr. Dru, the leader of the Blood Elves and Dragons Mercenary Regiment, right? This must be the famous Miss Christina. โ
"You know me?" Christina's eyes widened in surprise.
Hannah, a human girl in uniform with a ponytail, smiled and replied, "There is no one in the adventurer hall who doesn't know about you. โ
"Ahem!" Andrew coughed heavily twice and said, "It's not wrong that I'm Durle, but our head should be Miss Christina." โ
"But it's you. Hannah quickly opened her notebook.
"It's been changed, it's just changed. Andrew directly showed the changed mercenary card.
"Well, it shouldn't make a difference. Hannah smiled and sat down in the cubicle, opposite Andrew and Christina: "Today's task is a bit heavy, so the employer wants to hire two mercenary groups to act at the same time." โ
"Racing again?"
"Not really. Employers are willing to pay two commissions plus a special reward, so it's not a racing mission. Another mercenary group should be there soon. โ
As he spoke, the door opened, and a team of five mercenaries entered. It happened to be the team that Andrew had seen in the Hall of Adventurers.
For a moment, both sides were stunned. Especially when the five people on the other side saw Christina, they were even more stunned.
