Chapter 13: Rules and Provocations

"Hello Uncle Budd, good afternoon, everybody. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After smiling and greeting everyone in the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, Luo Sheng and Fei Li naturally sat down at Old Bard's table and sat down next to Old Bard.

"Where's Old York? Why didn't he come with him?" asked Old Bard casually after the two of them had sat down, putting down his glass. Old Bud and Daddy York are not only lifelong friends, but also very good drinking friends, often drinking and eating together, and when they drink, Luo Sheng and Fei Li eat next to each other most of the time, so treat Luo Sheng and Fei Li The two little guys, Old Bard is very casual.

"Daddy, he's got something going on, and he's gone to find Uncle Bouz in Blacklin Village. Luo Sheng responded, and at the same time took out the sheepskin bag containing the golden scale, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Old Bud. "Uncle Bud, this is for the regiment. ā€

"Hmm, what does that mean?" Hearing the sound of the heavy bag sliding on the table, everyone was slightly stunned, compared to the surprise on the faces of the others, Old Bard frowned, and asked a little angrily.

"I sold that Coral Staff to Uncle Kidd, and this is according to the rules, for the group's commission. Although it made Old Bard a little unhappy, seeing the reactions of the rest of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, Luo Sheng knew that he had already achieved half of his goal. In fact, Luo Sheng chose to give the money out on this occasion, rather than giving the money to Old Bard in private, so that everyone in the Iron Shield Mercenary Group could see it.

Glancing at the subordinates below, Old Bard sighed and directly handed the sheepskin bag to the deputy head of the regiment beside him, Ed. This level 7 warrior is the great steward and brain of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment, second only to the core of Old Bard. Although Old Bard himself really wants to take care of the junior Rasen, as the leader of the mercenary group, Old Bard must take care of the thoughts of the group members. And Luo Sheng mentioned the rules, so Old Bard naturally didn't want to say anything more.

Taking the sheepskin bag, Ed had a smile on his face. Although Daddy York did not directly join the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, he often cooperated with the Mercenary Group, and with the friendship with Old Bard, no one would say anything if he didn't give this commission. However, Luo Sheng's ability to send the money specifically not only shows that Luo Sheng understands the rules very well and can behave, but also shows that Luo Sheng's family attaches great importance to the relationship with the mercenary group, which is what Ed and others want to see. After all, a sixteen-year-old fifth-level ranger and first-level druid is a very valued potential stock wherever he goes. Being able to have a good relationship with the Rasheng family in the future is also a good thing for the mercenary group.

"Five hundred gold! Luo Sheng, you are mistaken!" But after opening the bag and glancing at it, Ed's face changed slightly, and he directly pushed the bag back in front of Luo Sheng. As the deputy head of the mercenary group's finances for a long time, Ed is also responsible for the valuation and buying and selling of the trophies in the group. And his estimate of the Coral Staff was no more than a thousand gold scales. Now seeing that Luo Sheng directly sent five hundred gold, Ed subconsciously thought that Luo Sheng had made a mistake in the amount.

"Uncle Ed, don't worry, we're not mistaken, the Coral Staff did sell for five thousand gold!" Fei Li took over with a smile and said proudly: "Originally, Uncle Kidd was very black-hearted and was only willing to give a thousand gold scales, but Luo Sheng disagreed and reasoned with him. In the end, Luo Sheng said that if he didn't buy it, he would go to the county town to sell it, but Uncle Kidd had no choice but to agree to the price of 5,000 gold. ā€

"Tell me what's going on?" asked Old Bard, whose eyes lit up. The other people also showed curious looks in their eyes, after all, five thousand gold is a very large amount, enough to make most of the mercenaries look sideways, and the handling of the spoils of war is related to a large part of the income of the mercenary group, and all the mercenaries present are very concerned about this kind of thing.

Seeing everyone gathered around with curiosity on their faces, Fei Li was even more excited, and described the events of the morning vividly. Although there are some signs of parting with Luo Sheng at home, in front of outsiders, Fei Li is very protective of Luo Sheng. Especially today, Luo Sheng has done such a brilliant 'big thing', and Fei Li spared no effort to promote Luo Sheng.

Hearing Fili's description, most of the peripheral mercenaries had envious looks on their faces. After all, five thousand gold scales are already an extremely huge amount of wealth, enough for the family to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and most people are very envious of Luo Sheng's luck, and even a few people have a greedy look in their eyes.

However, the cadres of the mercenary group at Old Bard's table, after listening to Fei Li's retelling, their faces became very solemn. Especially the two captains of Old Bard and Ed, their eyes were even more shining. Ordinary mercenaries thought that Luo Sheng was just lucky, but the two who had evaluated the value of the Coral Staff in their hearts knew that if there was no Luo Sheng's knowledge, even if they sold it themselves, they would also be 'pitted' by the merchants of Old Kidd or the county.

In the Ymir continent, in the transaction of magic, the mage organization, the merchants, and the mercenary group form a basic transaction chain. Of the three, the Mage Organization has the highest status, and they process and craft various spell products, such as scrolls, potions, and weapons, and sell them to merchants at high prices in exchange for money and materials. Merchants are in the middle, they buy from the mage organization, sell them to mercenary groups and other people in need, and then buy all kinds of materials, loot at low prices, and earn the difference from them. Although the mercenary group is the hardest and the most risky on weekdays, it is at the bottom of the transaction chain. The collected materials and loot can only be sold to merchants or mage organizations at low prices in exchange for money and high-priced spell items to maintain their own combat effectiveness.

This kind of trading order of upstream eating downstream has been around for a long time, and although many mercenary groups want to change this situation, they are limited to the huge disadvantage in knowledge, information and strength, and the results have not been great. Like the Coral Staff, it falls in the Iron Shield Mercenary Group without a mage, and has almost no effect, so it can only be exchanged for money. And the head of the regiment couldn't realize the preciousness of the staff, so he could only accept the purchase price of an ordinary second-order magic weapon, that is, less than a thousand gold scales. And according to the rules, how much old Kidd can earn from it after that is old Kidd's own ability. After all, according to the Nine Ring Tower, 'knowledge is power, and knowledge is wealth'. If you don't have this knowledge, you won't be able to earn this wealth.

And Luo Sheng's sale of the staff, in the eyes of insiders like Old Bard who know the rules, it is not that Luo Sheng took advantage of the mercenary group and took away the super-valuable loot, but that Luo Sheng relied on his knowledge to earn a profit that should have belonged to a businessman like Old Kidd. So not only are they not jealous of Rason, Old Bard and Ed and others, but they appreciate it very much, and even admire it a little. After all, there are not many Cook leaders who can make old Kidd, a profiteer, deflated.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Luo Sheng nodded lightly. This time, I went here to send money to the tavern, which is actually a well-designed 'show'. In this 'show', Luo Sheng not only showed his good qualities of being honest and trustworthy, understanding the rules, and being a good person, but also gave everyone a new understanding of their own knowledge and ability, letting everyone know that he was a 'genius'. This is very beneficial for Luo Sheng to show his strength step by step, win people's hearts, and gain the right to speak. And in Rason's future development plan, these are all important.

"Luo Sheng, good job. Are you interested in joining our group? If you come, I, the deputy head of the regiment, can directly give it to you!" After glancing at Old Bud, Ed directly extended an invitation to Luo Sheng, and directly promised the high position of deputy head of the regiment. Only Daddy York had received such an invitation before, which shows that in the hearts of Old Bard and Ed, the value of Luo Sheng is not much lower than that of Daddy York.

"Thank you Uncle Ed, but I'm too young to take on such a heavy responsibility. And I discussed it with Fili, and I wanted to form a mercenary team by myself while I was young. Luo Sheng responded very calmly.

Although Old Bard and Ed are very sincere, Rasheng has no intention of joining. On the one hand, he is young and his qualifications are not enough to convince the public, which can be seen from the unconvincing faces of most of the members around him. Even if he values his old bud, half of this promise is to win over Daddy York. So even if Luo Sheng joins, he doesn't have much right to speak, and at most he can only be regarded as a logistics staff who handles the loot.

On the other hand, it is Luo Sheng who has his own development plan, and although there are some benefits to joining the Iron Shield Mercenary Group for the time being, the restrictions on Luo Sheng will be greater in the future. So even though Old Bard also cast eager eyes, Luo Sheng still chose to refuse.

"That's a pity!" As the second core and brainchild of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, Ed understood Rasen's value better than the others. Judging from what Luo Sheng has done in the past two days, this young man not only has great potential, but also has a wealth of knowledge and acts decisively. What's even more commendable is that Luo Sheng does not have the arrogance common to young people, and he is very assertive and very disciplined. In the future, when he grows up, he will definitely have the ability to lead the Iron Shield Mercenary Group to break out of Cook Territory and even Blackstone County, and become the top mercenary group in the Elson Kingdom.

"But it's also good that young people want to go on their own. If you have the opportunity, we will cooperate more. Although he was very sorry in his heart, after Luo Sheng refused, Ed did not mean to blame, and he was still pleasant. After all, the relationship between the Rasheng family and the mercenary group is there, and there is a lot of room for cooperation between the two sides. As long as the relationship is maintained, Luo Sheng may not be able to be pulled into the group in the future.

"Thank you two uncles for your understanding. If you need help in the future, just ask, I will do my best. Luo Sheng also humbly assured.

"Cut! Taking such a big advantage in the group, and being so hypocritical, it's really shameless. Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to come to an end, a small voice sounded behind Luo Sheng, and his words were full of undisguised disdain and ridicule.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Harlan, shut up!" said old Bard as he slammed the table and shouted at a young man with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Commander, I'm not talking nonsense. The young man stood up, pointed at Luo Sheng with a flushed face, and said, "We fought desperately to save him, and almost died in the battle, and finally got so much loot." He, a first-level druid who had just advanced, was just a cold-light prophet who had bitten to death and was seriously injured, so he took the most precious coral staff, didn't he take advantage of the group?"

"Then what do you want?" grabbed Fei Li, who wanted to step forward to reason for herself, Luo Sheng asked indifferently.

"Either you go head-to-head with me and beat me, and I'll admit that you have the right to own the Coral Staff. Either spit out the money from the sale of the staff and give it to the regimental commander for distribution. ā€
