Chapter 49: Dangerous Thoughts
Rocky was full of curiosity about the mercenary union he met by chance, so he walked directly to the union despite Lilia's obstruction.
Unlike the previous exchanges, the Mercenary Guild is a two-story building, but the scale is much grander than the exchange, which makes people feel grandiose and large at a glance, and at the same time, it is also a place where people come and go, and there are a lot of people coming and going.
And when Rocky walked into the mercenary union, he found that it was simply lively.
There are so many more people here than there are exchanges, and there are all kinds of people, such as Rocky, who had just entered the door when he passed by an elf who looked no less than a woman, and then he didn't take two steps before he came across a dwarf who had just reached his waist.
"Good fellow...... There are enough races gathered here......"
It was the first time he had seen so many people of different races appear in front of him, and when he looked over the crowd and into the hall, the first thing he saw was a magical bulletin board similar to that of the Exchange.
There is also a bulletin board in the hall of the mercenary union, and it is a full circle larger than the bulletin board of the exchange, and all kinds of information are constantly scrolling on it.
×× Sky City's high-priced mercenary group cooperates with the defense of the mine, with a mercenary group of more than 500 people, an average strength of no less than level 4, and a monthly commission of 30,000 gold coins.
The ×× Chamber of Commerce hired air demon warriors to escort merchant ships at a high price, with a number of thirty people, and a commission of two thousand gold coins per person per day.
×× Sky City hired a powerful mercenary group at a high price to cooperate in the elimination of demons, and the mercenary group had a scale of more than 300 people, and cooperated with the air demon team to fight, and the price was negotiated.
At the bottom of the bulletin board, Rocky looked up at the scrolling messages carefully, and found that the content on them was indeed the same as what Monte said, all of them were released by some chambers of commerce and Sky City, and all of them were information about the mercenary group fighting.
To be honest, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing, so he couldn't help but ask Monte: "Why did these Sky Cities that released information hire mercenary groups to fight?"
"This ......" glanced at Rocky, Monte opened his mouth, and it took a long time before he spoke: "My lord, not every Sky City has strong strength, so if the weaker Sky City is in trouble, especially if it is trouble-related to many battles, it will usually issue a task here and hire other people to help them solve the trouble." ”
"And even some Sky Cities with quite good strength will sometimes issue missions here, but this kind of mission is usually more dangerous, and the reason why you have to hire others to do it is because those city lords don't want to kill their own people. ”
"Oh...... So that's ......"
Monte's explanation made Rocky understand immediately, and then he saw that his eyes rolled and he asked again, "If you want to take on the mission here, do you have to set up a mercenary group?"
"Rocky, what are you going to do?"
When Rocky asked this, before Monte could speak, Lilia on the side said angrily that she had already thought about what Rocky was going to do.
"Hehe, I'll just ask, it's always dangerous to find out about the situation, right?"
Smiling at Lilia, Rocky looked at Monte again, waiting for his answer.
"Actually, you don't have to, if you want to post a task, you just need to go to the register, and the task is almost the same, as long as it meets the requirements of the employer, the union will help deal with other things, it doesn't have to be a mercenary group. ”
"And what type of tasks are they all here?"
"It's usually a protection mission, but it's basically all about combat, and nine times out of ten it's about fighting demons, so there's very little personal mission here. ”
Monte's explanation made Rocky's face immediately smile, because this mercenary guild was obviously a good place for him to make a fortune!
Thunder Eagle City is about to undergo reforms, and it will undoubtedly require a lot of investment to make the reform go smoothly, so now Rocky needs money more than ever, and a lot of money.
However, the money for this reform cannot be satisfied by the financial revenue of Thunder Eagle City alone, and Rocky must find another way.
Originally, his plan was to hunt down a few demons immediately after leaving this time, and rely on the money from selling demons to maintain the reform.
But now it seems that the various tasks in the mercenary union are obviously better choices, and the tasks released here are often tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of commissions!
As the city lord of Thunder Eagle City, Rocky not only has a set of air demon battle armor, don't forget that he also has two hundred guards and ten military floating ships under his command! This configuration is naturally nothing in Sky City, but if it is placed in the mercenary world, it has definitely reached the scale of a mercenary group, and it is enough to meet the requirements of many tasks!
So after thinking about it carefully, Rocky felt that the idea was very feasible, so he then asked:
"Monte, does the Mercenary Guild have any communication facilities that allow me to check missions anytime and anywhere?"
"Absolutely. ”
Nodding, Monte said: "The mercenary union has a task receiver, which uses magic energy to transmit, can query mission information anytime and anywhere, and can contact the union to hand over the task, which is very convenient." ”
"Monte!"
When Monte explained to Rocky in detail, Lilia on the side was not happy, she glared at Monte angrily, and the tall orc immediately shut up, and then Lilia looked at Rocky with the same anger.
How well Lilia knew Rocky, she knew from the beginning what Rocky was up to.
At the same time, unlike Rocky, she had heard about the mercenary guild for a long time, and knew very well that the tasks posted here seemed to be very high, but they were also extremely dangerous, and even to some extent, the tasks posted here were much more dangerous than hunting demons!
So Lilia naturally didn't want Rocky to stay here for long, because once Rocky figured out the situation here, God knows what outrageous and dangerous thoughts would come out of his head.
"Hehe, I'll just ask......"
However, in the face of Lilia's obstruction, Rocky was as usual, playing with her while looking at Monte: "Monte, do you think the guards of Thunderhawk City, plus the ten floating ships in the city, are capable of taking on the mission here?"
"This ......"
Rocky's question made Monte a little stupid, don't look at Lilia has been blocked many times, but Monte really didn't expect Rocky to target these tasks, he is the lord of a city!
Besides, with the strength of Thunder Eagle City...... Monte had a look of embarrassment on her face.
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you have. ”
Seeing the embarrassment on Monte's face, Rocky waved his hand and told him to tell the truth.
Seeing that he was so persistent, the simple Monte opened his mouth after thinking about it:
"My lord, the ten floating ships in Thunder Eagle City are definitely a great deal of power, and the vast majority of mercenary groups in this regard are simply incomparable, and the strength of the city lord and Miss Lilia naturally does not need to be said. ”
"Only, the guards in the city...... He's really not fit to fight......"
Shaking his head, Monte finally told the truth, in his eyes, the guards of Thunder Eagle City were simply decorations, completely incapable of fighting!
"Well...... It's pretty much what I thought. ”
After hearing his words, instead of getting angry, Rocky also nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Monte, if you are asked to train the guards, how long do you think it will take for the guards to have the ability to fight?"
