"Who is speaking ill of me!?" the old woman named Kulan came out of the path to the east, she was still wearing the hooded robe, but in the dark night she blended with the clothes on her body, and everyone could not see her clearly.

Kesi raised the torch in her hand to illuminate the source of the voice, and then it became clear that it was indeed the employer of the task, "I'm sorry, what I just said was nonsense, please don't mind, old man." The duke's daughter hurriedly apologized.

The old woman walked slowly, and she didn't say anything to Korth's apology, but walked into the courtyard on her own.

"Did you all kill those plants, didn't you say you would wait until dawn by the pond?"

"We," Fed was about to answer, when he suddenly noticed that the old farmer and his ploughing cattle were nowhere to be found, "What about the old farmer?" he quickly turned back to ask Greif, who had been here just now.

Greif shook his head and said, "When we came back, we just looked after Blake, and we really didn't notice where the old farmer went, maybe he has returned to his village, right?"

Feder remembered the greenstem plant they had encountered in that village this morning, and it seemed that they had not killed a green-stemmed plant that had just lost a piece of green skin, which meant that the one they had encountered this morning had not died!

"Brother Marcus and Patrick, follow me to the old farmer's house, now!"

"No need to go, just now I saw the old farmer's ox on the road outside, and there is a dirt hole next to it," the old woman Kulan said expressionlessly, "I guess the old man has been eaten by those plants that attack people, hehe." ”

Everyone looked surprised when they heard this, and Noor and the squad leader Leonard, under Fid's instructions, walked to the location of the ploughing ox that the old woman pointed to.

"You can take the ploughing ox yourself, I don't plough the plough anyway, do you know?!" The old woman found a small stool in the dark and sat down, "Tell me how you are" Before the old woman could finish speaking, she moved her nose, and a surprise expression suddenly appeared in her eyes, and then she walked to the dilapidated house where Blake was resting.

Greif hurriedly said, "That's one of our injured partners, borrowing your bed temporarily"

"It's okay! It's okay! He's got a leg broken? Is it the plants?!" the old woman said in a very excited tone, and no one knew why.

Fed told the people to tidy up in the yard, and he told the old woman what had happened, but Fed didn't tell the other about the book on how to grow green-stemmed plants, because by this time he had already begun to think about what Grass had said—there was probably something wrong with the old woman.

The old woman listened carefully, and her wrinkled face showed a look of surprise from time to time. And when she heard that Fei De and his party had entered the mountain ravine and burned all the young in the urn, the old woman showed a regretful expression, and such a straightforward reaction made Fei De even more suspicious that these green-stemmed plants were cultivated by the old woman herself. Coupled with the fact that she has a large amount of money that does not match her identity, Fed's instincts tell him that the old woman has some other secrets behind her.

"Yes, very good, very good!" the old woman nodded after hearing this, and she glanced at the squad leader Blake who had broken his leg again, "This young man is very brave, I have decided to pay you a little more, just two thousand gold coins!"

"Ha, you're rich!" the big-nosed fan outside the broken house couldn't help but shout. When Feder looked out, it turned out that the crowd had been put in order, and a few people were still hiding outside the windows of the broken house and eavesdropping on what was being said inside.

"I'll go into the city tomorrow and pay you. The old woman looked very happy, the teeth on her mouth had fallen out, but she still showed a bright smile.

"But we're not sure we're going to wipe out all the green-stemmed plants," Fielder remembered again about the green-stemmed plants that had struck the old farmer that morning, "and"

The old woman waved her hand, and then walked out of the broken house: "I am the employer, I said that the task has been completed, it is completed, and you don't have to worry about anything." Since the old woman said so, it was inconvenient for Phyde to say more.

There was still a little time before dawn, and the people of the Potato Mercenary Regiment rested in the old woman's yard, where it was better to take a nap than to sleep next to a wet pool. And Nur and Leonard had already brought the ploughing ox back and tied it to the "king". Nur told Fid that there was indeed a dirt hole near the ploughing cow, but there was no trace of the old farmer except for the old cow, and it was estimated that something had happened to the old woman, as the old woman said.

If the range of those green-stemmed plants was really that wide, then the old woman's home must also be dangerous, but the old woman was not worried at all, the only reason that could be explained was that the old woman knew that those green-stemmed plants would not attack her. Fidel closed his eyes as he pondered, rested against a wall, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, and everyone else was ready to get out of here. Most of the people showed relaxed expressions, they were talking and laughing, they had already forgotten about the danger of last night, and now in their hearts, they only thought about the old woman who was going to pay - the old woman had already said last night that this time she would give the potato mercenary group 2,000 gold coins!

In the past, in the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, each person could get a basic reward of ten gold coins per month, plus the share of the end of the mission, the squad leader and squadron leader would have dozens of gold coins of income every month, and the completion of this mission had a reward of two thousand gold coins, Marcus and they all began to look forward to how Feld would distribute this bonus.

Fedd asked Avi to ride a horse and return to the mercenary's house to report on the mission, while the old woman followed Fed back to the City of Light. The badly wounded Black hadn't woken up yet, and Feder didn't worry about leaving him in those broken houses, so they built a cow trailer without wheels and let the ploughing ox drag him to the Holy Light City.

On the way back, Noor quietly walked up to Fidel's side and whispered to him, "This time the harvest is great, how are we going to distribute the prize money to these people?"

Feder remembered that Eddie had given a pension to the family of each of the dead cavalrymen, and he found out at that time that the mercenary group was not so impersonal, but this time they had lost Bowen had already left his hometown, and everyone present did not know where his home was, and according to Franklin, who was good friends with him, Bowen had a wife and children in his old home, but unfortunately he did not know the exact location.

On the issue of distributing the winnings, Fide had his own ideas. He does not intend to distribute bonuses according to the rank of the people, but according to the performance of each person. This would be feasible for a potato mercenary group with a very small number of people for the time being, and if it did, it would also increase the enthusiasm of the crowd. Everyone who is a mercenary wants to get a little more money so that he doesn't have to worry about the rest of his life, and Phyde also wants to use this to make those who are able in the potato mercenary group work for him.

Thinking of this, Fei De couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he himself still disdained the practice of the leader of the Water Dog Mercenary Regiment, Kaman, - to buy people's hearts with gold coins and let his subordinates protect the bandits. I didn't expect that today I also began to think about how to use money to "buy" my subordinates, which is really impermanent. But even though he was aware of his disdain, Fede knew the power of money, after all, not everyone was as undemanding as Patrick was.

"Oh my God! you got rid of all those plants!" Ernest, the head of the mercenary house, took Field's arms with both hands, he glanced at the old woman Kulan and then at the unharmed Field, "It's really a surprise, you must know that the mercenaries who accepted this task before" Ernest noticed that he was too excited, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand to avoid being rude.

The snob also stood beside Field, saying that he was willing to be the head of the Potato Mercenary Group and assist Fielder in future missions, introducing and discovering more high-quality tasks to the other party.

And the old woman Kulan also showed an exaggerated smile, and proposed that there would be tasks in the future and hoped that the potato mercenary group would complete them, and she also informed Ernest that there were some other exotic flowers and plants in the forest of her house, which might be aggressive, but Ernest, the person in charge of the mercenary house, only showed a disgusted expression and ignored the old woman at all.

Fed learns from Ernest that the Mercenary House in the City of Light will take a 7% commission from the mercenary group that completes the mission as an intermediary fee, which is one hundred and five gold coins. He also noticed that Ernest had only calculated the reward at fifteen hundred gold coins, and had not added the five hundred gold coins that the old woman had promised to reward the potato mercenary group, and it seemed that the calculation of the intermediary fee was only related to the reward indicated on the mission announcement.

As for what Ernest charged his employer, Feder didn't ask, but judging by the old woman's expression, she didn't really care how much she had to pay, and Ernest didn't seem surprised by such a rich old woman.

After exiting the mercenary's house, Fed asks Coth and Greif to follow Kulan to the bank to trade funds, Noor to sell the ploughing cow, Avi and Patrick to take Blake to the hospital, and the rest to disband. Although it was only a one-day and one-night mission, they faced an extremely dangerous opponent last night, and they also lost the legs of squad leader Bowen and Blake, and Fed knew that everyone needed some rest.

Walking along the way to the City of Light, Fid had been thinking about how to distribute the prize money, and while he was wandering around, the Knight Captain of the Church Order, Kiro, appeared in front of him.

"Ahh ”

"Is there something wrong?" wasn't this Kiro arrested? how could he be released so quickly?, Fide thought to himself.

"Good things, good things. ”
