As the capital of the Principality of Rhodok, Djerkhara is the political and cultural center of Rhodok. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city is no less prosperous than the heavenly city of Viruga and the trading port of Aaron. Djerkhara's size and population rival even that of the gem city of Suno, the largest city on the continent of Calradia.

At the same time, it is one of the most difficult cities on the continent of Calradia to attack. It is second only to the fortress town of Swadia Kingdom in the center of the continent [Deherim] and the capital of the Virginia Kingdom in the northeast snowfield.

This bustling city is best known for its velvet production. Expensive and extravagant items. But it is not the mercenary's favorite, or the mercenaries would rather wear leather armor than a gorgeous dress made of velvet to go into battle.

Victor and his mercenaries find a cheap tavern in the city, the little Roman puts the cows in the backyard to graze, and the big Hank unloads the bag of bread from the cart for lunch.

The ale in this tavern tasted so good that Ellen could smell it from the glasses of the other drinkers. But neither he nor the mercenaries drank. It's not that the mercenaries can't afford to buy alcohol, it's that everyone has become more cautious since the last lesson.

As soon as the mercenaries entered the tavern, Kress went upstairs alone and locked himself in the house. Ellen looked up thoughtfully at the back that was about to disappear down the stairs: she must have gone to take stock of all her belongings again.

Kress's approach to combat allowed Irene to learn the rules of the continent of Calradia from her. She jumps, screams, and scolds like a ferocious little beast in battle, and she is also intimidating when she looks at you with her big eyes cold and mercilessly.

Fighting was like a battle for animals foraging for food, so naturally she didn't have to think about it. Alleyne finally understood why the mercenaries were willing to fight for their employers for a little pay and loot, and fight to the death with people they didn't know. Wrapped himself up.

"I bet she's the richest mercenary among us!" said Mo Mocha enviously. "She has enough money for her to live a good life and even live here. ”

Alleyne glanced at Mo Mocha, he knew what was going on in the other party's mind. "You'd better not go and hit her idea," he warned the horse thief. "Watch out for her actually slitting your throat one night!"

Many people in the team were afraid of Kress, especially the obscene and cowardly horse thief. Alleyne still couldn't figure out why Kress hated Momo Tea and threatened to cut his throat, and what had happened between them?

Kress often didn't bother to speak, instead quickly placing the dagger around someone's neck, using his hand instead of his mouth. Momocha complained to Victor a few times, seeing that he didn't respond positively, and after many times, he also found that the knife was a normal language of Cress, so Momocha put up with it.

Alleyne remembers the look on her face the first time she offered to greet her. She looked at my wounds, at my face, at my knife, and I could feel the kindness in her eyes. I've always wondered what it would be like to have a sister?

"Don't worry, I won't do that. Momo Tea replied in a low voice with a hippie smile. "I was able to find more goals here. ”

"Then I wish you good luck," Alleyne reminded him. "Don't let the Rhodoks get caught, I'm sure Ressarit won't pay to get a thief out of the dungeon. ”

"I didn't expect that iron rooster!" Momocha stole a glance at Resarit, who was sitting next to Victor. "He considered himself a knight, but he didn't have the grace of a knight. Finally, the horse thief commented.

"Knights and thieves?" said Alleyne with a smile. "I don't think there's any knight in Calradia who has this demeanor, right?"

"Aren't you!" the horse thief smirked lewdly.

"I'm not a knight. "Alleyne thought to himself: "Even though I am a nobleman and my father is a lord of Virginia, I am still not a knight.

Mo Mo Cha retracted his smiling face and said with a serious face: "Sooner or later, it will be." ”

Aren suddenly didn't know what to say to the horse thief next to him who owed him money. Although this guy usually likes to take advantage of himself, he also brings a lot of joy to himself. Occasionally, I give myself some encouragement.

The guys in the mantles of the mountain bears always carry out orders after contempt. In the afternoon, Victor received a letter of employment from King Griffos, which stated that the mercenaries should disarm and enter the hall of the lord.

The black-robed guard who delivered the letter tilted his head and watched the mercenary leader read the letter, he should have thought that the other party would refuse to be hired.

But Victor smiled and agreed, and wrote on the mercenary letter: "Please keep our weapons properly with the honorable King Griffos." It was a far cry from the tough and determined attitude he had in the morning.

The guard left with a look of surprise on his face, and Mo Mocha sat on the sidelines and smiled as the Rhodok soldiers walked out of the tavern.

Victor grabbed half of the bread and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "A group of fools who have been raised stupid by cream, mercenaries can't get along with money." ”

Parker tilted his head and looked at Victor suspiciously, the expression on his face no less than the surprise of the Rhodoc guard just now. He thought to himself: In that case, why did he tell the other party at that time, 'The mercenaries don't disarm their weapons?'

Victor, who was chewing bread, looked around and casually met Parker, who seemed to remember something, and suddenly spit out the bread he was chewing in his mouth. "This broken bread is sour and hard, you go to the market and buy some good ones and come back. ”

Parker turned his head to look to his left and right, and there was no mercenary beside him, and the treasurer, Resarit, raised his hand and threw him a small bag of coins. "Don't look at it, it's you. ”

The new member protested dissatisfiedly: "My name is Parker, not you." Why should I buy it?"

"Mercenaries don't like to call them by name, and they don't ask why they carry out orders. Victor stood up from the bench. "If you want to fit in, you need to get used to it. ”

Parker turned and left the tavern with a disgraced face. When Alleyne saw it, he patted Captain Victor who was standing. "You don't have to be so strict with new members. As he spoke, he put a small piece of bread on the table into his mouth, which was indeed very unpalatable.

"To become a mercenary, you must first get used to indifference until you become numb. Victor whispered, which was what he had said to Aren.

Alleyne patted him again. "If you're numb, don't clean your shoes. ”

Victor looked down at his toes, his black leather boots just stepping on the chewed crumbs he had just vomited. It looks like a piece of!

"Mercenaries should go from apathy to numbness, hoping that it doesn't affect your image. Alleyne continued with gloating taunts. Mo Mo Cha also laughed on the side, but his face stiffened in fright by Victor's fierce gaze.

The man who stepped on the bread crumbs paused, and finally found the tavern owner and asked for a rag, and when he sat down to shine his shoes, Victor said to Aren, "I hope you live a few more days." Mercenaries don't like to make friends, and they don't like to see their brothers' heads fall to the ground. ”

Alleyne was looking down at the words. Victor had already gotten up and walked away. Alleyne realizes that he has the friendship of a mercenary, and that he is dependent on him for life and death.

"The friendship of life is indestructible!" said the 'King of Mercenaries' Gast Craggs, who fought five Swadian knights alone in a mercenary and was torn apart by two spears after slashing three of them.

The Golden Lion's Commander Gast Kragus once commanded the largest mercenary team on the continent, and his strength was even more powerful than the Shield of Rhodok and the Golden Mercenary Regiment. After his death, the former team is now gone, but what he said has been scattered.

While thinking, Alleyne casually turned his head to look at Roman at the door, who was waving at him.

Alleyne walked briskly over, and the little mercenary pointed to Parker in the distance. Alleyne looked in the direction and saw that the new mercenary was standing on the opposite street with his head up, not knowing what he was doing.

"It's time for the new brother to fall in love. Roman gestured to the house in the distance. "You see, the girl is very beautiful, just like your Jamila. If I were a few years younger, I would be like him. ”

Behind a small window sat a young girl, beautiful as a golden dawn, her blue eyes as clear as the sea water, curiously browsing the pedestrians in the street, but before she could see the young mercenary staring at her.

Alleyne bowed his head a little blushing when he heard the word 'your Jamila' come out of the other's mouth. It seems that Momocha has told some of the mercenaries in the team about her relationship with Jamila. Although they didn't get to that point in between.

"Good luck to him, may he have the same charm as you!" said Roman, spitting out the chewy bread. "It's really unpalatable. The man who had spit the bread laughed and cursed.

Alleyne smiled but didn't say a word. He doesn't think he has the charm to attract girls, but Momo tea has a knack for how to capture women. Jamila likes herself, perhaps because......

"Alleyne, I'd like to say the same thing as Victor Chief," Roman said suddenly. "I hope you live a few more days, at least not before me!" the little mercenary tapped his companion's shoulder and left.

"You too!" said Alleyne in a low voice as he looked at the other's back. "Don't let me see your head roll off your neck and fall to the ground. ”

Although the conversation between them does not reveal much friendship and concern, Alleyne is convinced that he is a trusted friend like Victor and a companion to whom he can entrust his back.

True friends never pay lip service to friendship, they don't ask anything for each other's sake, they do everything they can for each other. Victor and Roman are such friends.

Although Victor is the leader of this mercenary team, he has never asked Alleyn for anything, but has trained him to be his successor as much as possible. In the moments when Ellen fights the enemy, Roman always covers him behind his back with the bow and crossbow in his hand.

Ellen suddenly discovers that there is nothing more beautiful in the world than a few friends who are very upright in their minds and hearts. He even felt that Momo Tea was also a trustworthy friend, even though this lewd, cowardly and ** horse thief always borrowed money from him under various pretexts.

"What are you looking at?" Jamila walked up to his side. When she returned to her hometown, she looked even more beautiful and elegant.

"A mercenary," said Ellen. "A friend and a trusted companion!"

"Who are you referring to?" Jamila turned to look at the mercenaries in the tavern.

"Old man, little man, and... Horse thieves. Instead of saying their names, Alleyne called out their nicknames. He thinks it's more ...... Cordial. That's right, it's like a casual name between brothers.

"Did you wrap me up too?"

"Of course!" replied Ellen with a smile. "Beautiful princess!" she did look like a princess. It's a pity that she wasn't born in the emperor's family.

"Young noble master," Jamila said playfully. "I'm just a mercenary like you!"

"Yes! We are mercenaries!"

I am a mercenary, my name is Ellene, I have no surname, I am a guest from the East. (To be continued.) )
