Chapter 33: The Story

Jeff and Xavier met Leo at Ciri's tavern.

At that time, Leo had already formed the Leo mercenary team with a few old friends, but he didn't have any goals all day, basically just messing around Craya, which is also the normal state of most ordinary mercenary teams.

When Jeff brings Xavier to Leo, he is drinking and chatting with Tarber, Heyman and several other members of the team in the tavern.

Jeff finds him and asks to join their team, which Leo doesn't want to oblige. The mercenary squad's favorite members are in the prime of life, and rarely take in older and younger personnel.

Because older people often can't keep up with their reaction and physical strength, they are easy to be used as a breakthrough. Young experience and strength often can't keep up, and it is also a breakthrough point for the enemy. The Jeff duo happened to have one old and one young, so Leo refused without even thinking about it.

However, Old Jeff repeatedly asked Leo to give them a chance to perform, and said that both of them had a certain ability to operate, and they could find a way to develop them into a mercenary group.

Leo finally agreed to let them try it with the team, not because of the old Jeff's management ability, but because Leo is a good talker, and it is not easy to see people old and young, so give them a chance. As long as you are prepared for the adventure, it doesn't matter if you take the two of them with you.

Later, this adventure caused Leo to completely change his opinion of the old and the young.

Jeff and Xavier seem to be very adventurous, they have been following Leo's team closely, and they have shown themselves to be strong in the battles that follow.

Although Jeff seems to be quite old, his physical strength and reflexes are stronger than those of Leo, and all kinds of experience and knowledge are several streets away from him; Xavier, a young man, does not seem to have a lot of adventure experience, but his strength cannot be underestimated, and he is more than a little stronger than Harvey, the scout who was a part-time archer in the original team. Although Harvey's half-hung level does not hurt his own people, the hit rate is only 80%, and the hit part can only be left to fate, which completely depends on God's mood today.

As for why Leo used to use a scout part-time half-hanger as the team's archer, the reason was simple, because the rest of the team didn't even have half the hit rate, and they couldn't find a good archer.

Archers are the most scarce talent in the ranks of low-level mercenaries, except for spell classes.

Because most of the low-level mercenaries are transformed from some lonely and poor people, they basically don't choose to learn the time-consuming, laborious and expensive profession of bowing and arrow, and they don't have the conditions to practice these.

Most people want to fill their stomachs before becoming mercenaries, and other professions can fight first as long as they have the strength to practice their movements, which is somewhat useful, at least they can be mixed with food. And if the archer misses the shot, it is completely useless, and if you help do something else, there will be little time to practice the bow and arrow, so the archer is a very contradictory profession in the beginning, generally like Harvey who is tall in the team, randomly selected part-time and then slowly becomes an archer.

So archers like Xavier are generally novices who don't know anything, and their skills should be a mess, with nine arrows out of ten and one arrow hitting a teammate. It shouldn't be like this kind of hit and most hit.

Later, they took several adventures together, and then formed a fateful friendship in a battle with Warcraft, and Jeff told Leo the whole story and the truth.

It's a cliché story.

Old Jeff and Xavier's father were both members of a large mercenary group in a neighboring country, and Xavier himself joined this mercenary group under the leadership of his father, although it was not a few years, but he also accumulated a certain amount of experience and skills, and because of his high potential, he also mixed a small team management. Thanks to his father's help and support, Xavier was able to practice bowing and arrow since he was a child, and he had such superb skills.

However, during an encirclement and suppression of high-level Warcraft, their mercenary group was unlucky to encounter the Warcraft Evolutionary Mutation (Warcraft Mutation is divided into Evolutionary and Degenerate, as the name suggests, it is named after the evolution of the strength change. However, both mutations are not welcomed by mercenaries, the evolutionary mutation will greatly increase the strength of the Warcraft, causing a large number of casualties, and the degenerative mutation will also consume a large amount of the Warcraft core, causing the loot to shrink significantly. In addition, evolutionary mutations and degenerative mutations are also separated into two types, super evolutionary mutations and super degenerative mutations, depending on the degree of variation), and they are the kind of super evolutionary mutations.

The furious Monster killed most of the members of the team in an instant with a range spell, and then chased down all the remaining members after the entire team collapsed instantly.

At the last moment, after Xavier's father entrusted him to Jeff, he used a forbidden potion that he got out of nowhere (a temporary and substantial increase in combat effectiveness, super side effects, and death or disability. Given that everyone will only use this suicide potion at the last moment, the side effects of the potion can basically ignore the result of "cripple"), slightly blocking the mutated demonic beast, allowing the two to escape.

Although his life was saved, he couldn't stay in the same place anymore, because the mutated monster attacked the city, and the city lord, who had nowhere to vent his serious losses, ordered all the members of Jeff's mercenary group to be wanted.

After learning the news, the two couldn't help but grieve for their father and friend, so they escaped overnight, but fortunately, Xavier's mother died of illness very early, and the old Jeff has been widowed, and the two have no family to worry about.

Later, they occasionally fled to Craya, and the money they brought with them was almost spent, and the two of them, who had no other skills and connections, could only become mercenaries in their old profession. Due to their age and appearance, although they were slightly capable, no one was willing to give them a chance to show themselves, and it was not until they met Leo, a good talker, that they settled down.

After that, after experiencing several dangers together and working together to overcome them, the two of them completely integrated into Leo's small team, and helped Leo finally deal with the financial problems that their team had never been able to figure out, and even this F-class mission was obtained by Jeff Sr. with experience.

No matter how people say it, they have also mixed in a large mercenary group, and the recruitment revelation of a small mercenary group is still very simple.

After listening to this bloody story, Ciri and Kayla felt that the experience of Xavier and Old Jeff was the first half of the tragic part of a proper "prince's revenge" style novel, but unfortunately the mutated monster was already paid by the city lord to pay a lot of money to deal with it, and it is estimated that there are no bones left now, and every part of the super evolved monster is worth a lot of money;

However, Ciri didn't ask them individually, because he didn't have much of a heart for gossip about such stories.

Leo took Ciri and Kayla around the mercenary group that had just been cleaned up. The whole station is still very large, after all, it is a suburb with a cheap land, and there are many people stationed as a mercenary group, so it is not good to be small.

The station now has various warehouses, training and administrative venues and other facilities, but there is basically nothing in it, and these will have to be slowly replenished by Leo and them in the future.

Since there is still none, there is nothing to go about, and after Tabor and Jeff have finished training, the three of them have just returned from shopping.

While everyone was fine, Ciri asked Leo to gather everyone together, intending to finish the most important thing he had done here.
