Seven days later.

After getting a little familiar with the city, and by the way, he inquired about some information, and in the early morning of the seventh day, Lin Bai came to the long-lost mercenary union early in the morning.

As always.

Even in the early morning, the mercenary union is very lively, looking around, there are those who take on tasks, those who enjoy breakfast quietly, those who brag about the mountains, and so on.

Look towards the bulletin board.

To Lin Bai's regret, the task he posted was still listed, which meant that there was no elite team to take over the task, but fortunately, Barrens and Garion had already appeared in front of him and did not run away.

"Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person. ”

Looking at the two people who came over, a smile slid on the corner of Lin Bai's mouth, according to common sense, the employer may pay a little deposit first, and it is categorically that there is no statement that the commission is paid in full, but Lin Bai did it on purpose.

500,000 or a lot in the eyes of the average person.

But compared to life, 500,000 yuan is just a dispensable thing for Lin Bai, if the two really run away with the money, then Lin Bai doesn't have the courage to take them to suppress the bandits.

Because life is more valuable than any money.

If just money can make the other party betray their integrity, then when their lives are in danger, they will inevitably abandon Lin Bai and run away alone, so in order to test the two, Lin Bai deliberately pretended to be stupid and paid the full amount, but now it seems that everything is worth it.

"Mr. Lin Bai. "Mr. Mage. ”

The two greeted Lin Bai politely, since they learned that Lin Bai was an employer and not a mercenary, they deliberately kept their distance from Lin Bai, and didn't seem to want to have too much to do with Lin Bai.

And rightfully so.

No matter what field it is, there is a fixed circle, mercenaries naturally have a circle of mercenaries, and it is quite a difficult thing for people outside the circle to get involved in the circle, just as the high-flying eagle will not understand the ants on the ground, and even if it can be understood, it is definitely understood from the position of the eagle, not from the perspective of the ants.

Therefore.

Lin Bai didn't ask for anything too much, anyway, his purpose was only to exterminate the Evil Dragon Ridge to complete the task, and their purpose was only money, although the purpose was different, but they were indeed grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Good morning both. ”

Lin Bai smiled and said hello: "Seeing the improvement of the two of you, you must have handled your personal affairs, so I can rest assured, and then ask the two of you to devote yourself to the task, please remember, our goal is to completely destroy the Evil Dragon Ridge!"

"Understood!"

The two spoke in unison, and Garion said a little childishly: "I have this phantom assassin here, make sure that not a single fly can escape, and I will definitely be able to catch them all." ”

"Don't talk big!"

Barrens was about to slap his fist on Garion's shoulder, but the agile Garion was slightly off, jumped up and landed on Barren's shoulder, and seemed not ready to come down.

Lin Bai laughed: "I'm relieved to see the confident appearance of Garion's little friend, then let's set off, strive to reach the Evil Dragon Ridge before this evening, and we will explore the truth tonight!"

"It's not a child!"

Garion waved his fist at Lin Bai angrily, but considering Lin Bai's status as the Lord and Mage, he didn't treat Lin Bai like everyone else, but only protested slightly.

So, in the midst of the frolic, the three of them walked out of the mercenary union.

After purchasing supplies at the market, the group came to the south gate of Tenglong City, from here to the Evil Dragon Ridge is the nearest road, but it can be seen that there is no one traveling at the south gate except for a few guards.

"Originally, this was the most prosperous city gate. ”

Barrence sighed and said, "The trade route at the South Gate was originally the smoothest and safest trade route, and both merchants and mercenaries would travel from here, but since the appearance of bandits' nests in Evil Dragon Ridge, this place has become desolate. ”

"If you can really exterminate the bandits' nest this time, Mr. Mage, you can really do a good deed for Tenglong City. ”

Garion said a little depressed: "Originally, my favorite thing to do was to go to the Evil Dragon Ridge to abuse the little demonic beasts, and since the bandit nest appeared for half a year, I haven't been there once, and I'm angry with this little master." ”

"The kid who hasn't dried up dares to call himself a master!"

Barrens' voice provoked a beating from Garion, but Barence couldn't even touch the corners of Garion's clothes, plus Corria was not here, so there was no one to cure Garion, which made Barrens almost vomit blood.

He is a platinum second-order, and he actually let a milky child ride on his head?

As long as he thinks about it, he is depressed enough, but he can only endure it, who let him really take this little Zhengtai, who is only one meter three tall, has no way.

In this regard, Lin Bai did not stop it.

This kind of fight is already accustomed to even Lin Bai, who has just arrived here for seven days, and Garion's friendship with Barence Lin Bai is naturally clear, and unmalicious fights are naturally very common among friends, and what really surprised him was a figure standing at the gate of the city.

White clothes win snow.

Dressed in snow-white light armor, with a delicate long sword pinned to his waist, and dark green hair tied back his head, the person standing at the gate of the city was actually Keliya, a staff member of the mercenary union!

"Huh?"

Lin Bai really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Barrens and Garion, "Why is Miss Coria here, did you ask her to come?"

"Miss Coria?"

"Where's Sister Coriya?"

Both of them looked ahead with surprises and surprises, and when they touched Coria's voice, they were both startled, revealing Jedi disbelief in their eyes.

It seems that the two of them are not clear either.

Lin Bai looked at the expressions of the two and could already conclude that it was not Barrens or Garion who called Coriya over, so why did Coria appear here?

Lin Bai took the lead and walked towards Ke Liya: "Let's go over and say hello, probably looking for us to have something urgent, after all, we are already friends." ”

Together, the three of them quickened their pace.

As the three of them approached, Ke Liya obviously also found Lin Bai and the three, she first let out a sigh, and then patted her chest that was not too plump and waved her hand at Lin Bai and the three and said, "Mr. Lin Bai, Barrens and Garion are finally here!"

"Sister Coriya!"

The agile Garion behind him jumped up from Barrens' shoulder, preemptively landed in front of Corria and said, "Are you here to see us off?" Garion I am so touched, in order to repay Sister Coria, when I come back triumphantly, we will get married!"

"Imp!"

Later, Barrons, who came up, took advantage of his unpreparedness and directly picked up Garion and said: "The little ghost who has not grown up still wants to get married? You wait for me for another ten or eight years, even if you want to get married, Coria will marry me!"

"You can't marry a gorilla!" said Garion, not to be outdone, and suddenly stared at Barrens.

Just when Ke Liya didn't know what to do, Lin Bai also came to her, he first glanced Ke Liya up and down, and then said: "Is Miss Ke Liya also a professional? ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lin Bai, for the compliment. ”

Coriya stroked her hair lightly, although she was smiling, but her eyes were gloomy: "Although I am a staff member of the Mercenary Guild, I am indeed a Golden Second Order swordsman professional. ”

"Mr. Mage, please don't mention this matter yet. ”

Garion said in a slightly unfriendly tone, but Coria herself directly interrupted: "This matter is not a secret, in fact I am a slave!

"Sister Coriya!"

Garian was about to stop it, but Coria said to herself: "My father was originally a local nobleman, because of his betrayal of the kingdom, so our whole family was reduced to slavery, and my mother, who couldn't bear the blow, also died with hatred, and I also need to work for the kingdom's institutions for free for generations, except for three meals a day, I can't get anything." ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, then why did your father betray the kingdom?" Lin Bai asked puzzled.

A trace of hatred flashed on her face when she heard this, and then she said: "The kingdom did not give a reason, nor did it give any news to my father, but just broke into the house with soldiers and told me that my father had betrayed the kingdom, although I am a gold professional, but after all, I am powerless to resist the huge kingdom, and I have lost my freedom because of this." ”

Freely!

In the kingdom, the biggest difference between slaves and commoners is freedom, put on the status of a slave, even if you are a diamond, you have to obediently accept the restrictions of the empire, slaves are completely devoid of human rights in any country.

Even if Coriya is a gold-level professional, she can only work for the kingdom for free until she dies of old age, and she cannot enjoy the most basic rights, and even the marriage partner must be approved and remarked by the kingdom organization.

Fortunately, however, there is a difference between a slave in the kingdom and a private slave.

The ownership of slaves in the kingdom is in the hands of the kingdom, and they only need to work for the kingdom without compensation, although they do not guarantee their basic human rights, but they can defend their human rights to a certain extent by virtue of their own strength.

"I was presumptuous. ”

It was true that revealing a scar was not a moral thing to do, so he casually asked, "I apologize for my curiosity, and please forgive me if I offend." ”

"Mr. Lin Bai, please don't say that. ”

Corria smiled beautifully, then glanced at Barrens and said, "And thanks to a ransom of one million paid by an unknown person, I am no longer a slave now, and finally ...... I'm completely free again!"

When the word freedom was spoken, Keliya's eyes showed absolute gratitude!

With a grateful but see-through look, Corria turned her gaze to Garion and Barrens and said, "Two unknown gentlemen, is it really worth it?"
