Chapter 263: First Arrival in the Federation
Since it was the client's own request, Leach could only comply.
After getting a preliminary understanding of the commission process, Leach asked about the remuneration.
I learned from Lilier that the reward for the commission does not contain any monetary rewards, but is just an unknown treasure, and it is very likely that it is not even a treasure, after all, the other party just said that it is a very special thing, which has to make people mutter.
"As for the compensation, all I can say is sorry. As he spoke, Mr. K stretched out his right arm from under his cloak and shook it, "You see, a dressed person like me has already spent most of my belongings to make that alchemy item, and I really don't have any extra money to take out as a reward for the commission, so I can only take things as collateral." ”
Leach nodded in understanding: "This doesn't matter much, I won't tell you, we are just going to the federal government to do something, so the amount of remuneration is not our primary consideration, the reason why I want to ask you is really a little curious about the special thing you said, I hope you can introduce it to us." ”
"That's fine. Mr. K breathed a sigh of relief, as if he really wanted someone to take his commission, "As for that thing, it's actually a key." ”
"Key?" Tali interjected suddenly, "is the key to the door of some treasure?"
"I don't know ...... this," Mr. K shook his head.
"What's so special about that......" Hearing that even the holder couldn't understand, Tali was a little disappointed.
Leach felt the same way, but he didn't show it, just looked at Mr. K, hoping that the other party would give a reasonable explanation.
"I say it's special because it's big, the size of my forearm. As he spoke, Mr. K gestured, "And in addition to the large size, the material of this key is also very special, anyway, I can't say what it is made of, but whether it is burned with fire, hammered, or soaked in strong acid, it cannot leave even the slightest trace on it." ”
Listening to Mr. K's introduction, Leach really had some expectations for this reward.
In Leach's experience, anything that is hard to destroy, even if its specific function is aside, is definitely a good thing in terms of its material alone.
However, this is not the end of the story, just listen to Mr. K continue: "By the way, I think the key teeth of this key are quite sharp, and it may be used as a short weapon. ”
However, compared to the material of the key that Mr. K said, the subsequent introduction of weapons that could be used as weapons was not very attractive to Leach, after all, no one in the party needed such a melee weapon today.
"Okay, Mr. K, we have understood the situation, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added, if not, then we will take this task!"
"It's for the best. ”
"Do you have any requirements regarding the time when the commission will begin?" After the commission relationship was determined, Leach was left with this last question.
"There are no requirements, as long as you don't delay it for ten days and half a month, as for the specific time to leave, it depends on when you are free, anyway, I will definitely not arrive earlier than you." ”
After the negotiation, Mr. K got up and disappeared into the night as he had come.
"Leach, you just took the task? I still think this guy is suspicious. After seeing Mr. K leave, Lilier persuaded again.
"I also think he's suspicious. Leach agreed, "But, if it's suspicious, it's suspicious, as long as he doesn't get in my way, and we'll just deliver it as he asks, and the rest is none of our business." ”
"Yes. ”
......
After spending three days in Ambrera and purchasing some necessary supplies, Leach and his party set foot on the Enchantress again.
Ti Xin Lier was among her peers.
Although bringing an ordinary person without the slightest combat power when going out on a mission will not only increase the difficulty of the mission, but also pay special attention to protecting her safety, since he promised Kumar to take care of his sister, it is a little too much to say that Ti Xinlier will be left alone in Ambrera, who is not familiar with her life.
There is really nothing to say about the performance of the Enchantress, but after half a day's work, the group came to the vicinity of the small town of Kelmos pointed out by Mr. K.
Since it is only a border town, it is impossible to dock the big piece of the Meizu Blue Enchantress into the town, but fortunately, because it is adjacent to Ambrera, the crowds come and go frequently, so a place to dock the guide airship has been specially developed outside the town, which saves Leach and them a lot of time to find a place and hurry.
Arriving outside the town's gates, Leach was surprised to find that there was already a long queue, which was not quite what he had imagined.
Following the local customs, everyone could only patiently line up to the back of the line.
The line was moving slowly, and by the time it was Leach's turn, it was getting dark, and the queue was even longer than it had taken them to get from Ambrera.
However, Leach did not waste time in vain, and through observation, Leach discovered the reason why the team was moving slowly.
Anyone who wants to enter the town of Thermos will be questioned in detail by the guard guarding the gate, and it will be recorded, and if the person has something on him, the guard will ask to check it, so that the speed can be faster.
In contrast, Ambrera, although she is just as strict about outsiders, does not have the feeling of being a soldier in front of her, which makes Leach can't help but wonder what is going on here.
Although it is better to ask someone than to guess by yourself, in such an occasion, it is very likely that asking someone to ask will attract the attention of the guards, which is not a good thing for Leach and others, who are already "celebrities" in the Federation, so they resist their curiosity and do not speak.
"Name, where did you come from, what you were carrying, what happened here. Probably because I don't know how many times I've asked the same question, the guard's tone is somewhat mechanical.
"My name is Utah, this maid girl is called Alice, this girl with a longbow is called Elan, this little girl in pink clothes is called Lucy, and this girl with green hair is called Ti Xinlil. ”
Also because he was already on the federal "list", Leach and the others all changed their names and surnames at Wright's suggestion, and Tixin Lier didn't need it because she had just joined the team for a short time, so she showed her real name, but she also deliberately dyed her hair black. On top of that, the Mazu Magnum has also undergone a makeover, with Leach hiring someone to repaint it with washable dye, so there's no need to worry about anyone recognizing them.
