Chapter 155: The Mercenary's Mission

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the whole tavern became a little subtle again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people around him once again showed the expression of watching the show, but the original two foreign mysterious men were gradually forgotten, and the protagonists became Benjamin and the table hunter.

The hunter who was shot gradually reacted and hurriedly pulled up his pants.

"Stinky boy, you ......"

He looked furious, as if he was about to rush over and fight Benjamin to the death. But because he didn't have a belt in his trousers, as soon as he let go of his hand slightly, his pants would fall off. Therefore, he became a little timid, and could only stand in place and grin his teeth, unable to make any big moves.

Even his companions, looking at his embarrassed appearance, couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

"Please, what are you still grinding here?" Benjamin was also a little helpless, "I have a gun in my hand, but you don't have a gun in my hand, so you can't beat me." You can't beat me, so you can't get revenge. Since you can't get revenge, then you better not waste everyone's time here, why don't you go back and get your belt in order first, right?"

He felt that what he said was polite and reasonable enough, but unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to be able to listen to any reason.

"I ...... I'm going to kill you!" he just lifted his pants and jumped up and down, refusing to give up or really rush over.

The scene was once again awkward.

"Forget it, he's got a gun. The people at his table began to persuade him to do so.

In this way, the whole situation was deadlocked for a while. Eventually, the hunter was persuaded by his companions. He glared at Benjamin and the two foreign men, then lifted his pants and walked away with his companions.

Finally, the tavern returned to calm again.

The crowd shook their heads, their expressions disappointed, and then went on with what to do.

Seeing this, Benjamin also put away his gun and prepared to go back and continue his meditation.

"This little brother. Just as he turned to leave, suddenly, a voice came from behind and stopped him, "Thank you for your help." ”

Benjamin turned around and saw two mysterious men in robes walking up to him and saying this to him.

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter. He waved his hand indifferently, "I didn't want to help you either, but this tavern was opened by my friend, and I just didn't want you to get into a fight and break things." ”

However, after hearing this, the man who looked relatively young spoke, a little unconvinced:

"If you think about it too much, even if there is a real fight, the only thing that will be broken is the guy's arm. After saying that, he also touched the long sword pinned to his waist, revealing a somewhat proud expression.

Hearing this, the older one glared back at him, as if to blame him for his frivolity, but did not say anything to refute it.

...... Oh?

Benjamin seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and became interested.

These two people have a special temperament, which is not only more casual than those iron-blooded soldiers, but also more arrogant than ordinary bandits. This casual sense of sharpness made him think of the "Silver Fox" boss he met before.

Add to that the fact that they were from abroad, and the sword they had pinned to their waist that seemed to be enchanted, and Benjamin quickly came to a conclusion.

"You are mercenaries. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two mysterious men glanced at each other, revealing some subtle expressions.

The older one turned his head and looked at Benjamin: "I didn't expect that there are still people in the Kingdom of Horry who know the meaning of this word." Please don't tell anyone else that we are only here to find people and have no bad intentions. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders nondeniably.

The two mercenaries from Ikor reminded him of the assassin sent by another country to assassinate the Pope.

Is there really no other purpose?

Although he was curious about what the tasks of these two mercenaries were, the mercenaries were generally more professional, and he definitely couldn't ask. Therefore, Benjamin did not ask too many questions, so as not to get into trouble.

On the contrary, he dismissed the bartender behind him, then lowered his voice and said, "I have a mission here, I don't know if you can do it?"

The mercenaries looked surprised. They looked at each other again, and the older one also lowered his voice and said, "Normally, we need to go through the procedures of the Mercenary Association to accept the mission, but ...... Sometimes we can also take on tasks privately. ”

He didn't go on. Obviously, he had to wait for Benjamin to tell him what the assignment was about and how much it would pay him before he could decide whether to say yes or not.

But he didn't say no, which is already a good thing.

"Rest assured, the task is simple. Benjamin took out a large bag of gold coins and shook it in front of them, "I just need you to go to the royal capital, dig out what I want in a relatively remote place, and then give it to me, and your task is complete." ”

Before leaving the royal capital, he had buried many things out of caution, such as the trophy cross he had received from the priest, the light elemental crystal, Anne's relic illusion mirror, and a whole box of blessed bullets...... Although he was mentally prepared to give up these things when he left the royal capital, it would be good to be able to get them back if he had the chance.

Especially those crosses that strengthened his mental power and restored his spiritual power, they still helped him a lot. It just so happened that he met two mercenaries here, so he simply asked them to help him get his things back.

Nor was he afraid that the two mercenaries would leak the news that he was a mageβ€”and they didn't know that Benjamin was a mage.

Besides, even if they knew that Benjamin was a mage, they wouldn't leak it to the church. The Church hunts down the mages and also suppresses the mercenaries, and the enemy of the enemy is the friend, who will not help the Church.

That's why Benjamin would be relieved to hand over the task to these two men.

"We ...... Indeed, it will pass through the royal capital. Hearing this, the older mercenary hesitated for a moment and said, "However, we are not sure how long we will stay in the Kingdom of Hori. I'm afraid that by the time we return to Crewe, you'll be gone. ”

"It doesn't matter, if I had already left by then, then I must have gone abroad. Benjamin waved his hand and said, "Tell me your names, and I'll go to the Mercenary Guild to find you." ”

Hearing this, the mercenaries hesitated for a while, and finally, they nodded.

"If you go to the Mercenary Guild and ask them where 'Cell's and Louie are, you'll find us. ”

In this way, after a little more whispering, Benjamin paid them a deposit of two gold coins, and agreed to give him the remaining eighteen gold coins after handing over the things. Subsequently, he told the two mercenaries where the things were buried, and the task was set.

With all this done, Benjamin said goodbye to the two mercenaries and returned to his room in the backyard, ready to continue meditating.

As for the two mercenaries, they seemed to have had their fill of food and drink, and left the tavern and headed out of the town, ready to continue on their way.

On the road.

"Luckily, I thought that our trip to the Hori Kingdom was just in vain, but fortunately we took one more task by the way, so we could make some money. The young mercenary spoke, with some emotion.

The slightly older one snorted and said, "How do you know that we are just working in vain? If we can find that person, we won't be able to spend it in the next life!"

According to the latest information, he was last seen in a village near Lake Pearl, north of the royal capital. The young mercenary shook his head and said, "But this is already a month ago. I heard that the paladins also dispatched a lot, but I didn't find any trace of him. What can we find when that lord hired us here?"

Hearing this, the older mercenary showed a helpless look and said, "Such a big task, you have to give it a try." We are also well-informed, and we are ahead of the curve, and in another month or two, it is estimated that half of Ikor's mercenaries will come to the Kingdom of Horry to grab this task with us. ”

As he spoke, he paused before continuing, "At least, compared to them, we are ahead of them. ”
