Chapter 18: I'm Blind
"Forget it, the crow is the crow. www.biquge.info"The crow shrugged indifferently and sat down on the couch again, "I was the one who spoke to Miss Rose and the middleman before, and I was the client of this mission. The mission is expected to last for five days, and I hope that everyone can get along happily during these five days. ”
"Who wants to be happy with you. The leopard was clearly angry with the crow, and although she succumbed to the rose's threat, she murmured and complained, "Sooner or later, the old lady will blow your head and trample on your eggs." ”
"Hehe, it seems that Miss Leopard has a lot of opinions about me, but it's no wonder that I was really bad just now, so it's better to be like this. Raven said like a hospitable host, "Two, since I have not been able to dodge this punch, then even if I lose this one, according to the agreement, I will bear the cost of the accommodation for the two of you for the rest of the day, and treat them to the best meal." ”
"Ahem, Mr. Raven, I think you're getting the order wrong. Rose changed to a business-like look when talking about business, and said coldly, "First of all, whether the entrustment contract has been reached has not yet been decided, and what has been set is only a cooperation intention, and whether to agree on the entrustment depends on the specific task." Secondly, you have not yet answered my question, which represents the sincerity of your cooperation. So, before saying anything about getting along happily, it's best to explain these two questions clearly. ”
"Well, the mission has actually been clearly discussed in the intercity communication. The crow spread his hands and said innocently, "My city needs to fight against the beast tide, eight hundred strange beast black wolves, and the possible ensuing demon invasion, I don't want the city's troops to die too many people, so I can only ask you to help." ”
"Are you testing my intellect, or are you flouting my intelligence, Mr. Raven. The cold eyes of the rose blade swept over the crow's face, and the voice was so cold that it seemed like it was about to drip water, "With your strength, eight hundred black wolves alone, you can destroy most of them alone, plus your guards in Brocade City, you don't need to find someone to help from the outside at all, and besides, if you take the initiative to destroy the wolves, you don't have to worry about any demon invasions." ”
"I'm a little inconvenient to make a move. The crow covered the embarrassed smile on his face with the movement of pushing his glasses, "Moreover, no one in the city knows what my strength is, and everyone thinks that my strength is actually about the same as several high-ranking members of the city guard." So, it's impossible to rely on me. ”
"Looks like you're going to have to let me say it directly. Rose frowned, and said coldly, "Okay, since you're not afraid of embarrassment, then of course I don't mind, let me ask you, you are the middleman who contacted five days ago, and the team of the two of us that you finally chosen, right?" Then, when will the black wolf arrive in Damask City? three days later, right? In other words, you were warned of the black wolf's attack eight days in advance, and the warning range of your Brocade City is simply the first in the world. Moreover, eight days ago, the position of the black wolf pack, there were at least seven or eight directions to choose from, but you had already confirmed eight days ago that the target of the black wolf pack was Brocade City, this is no longer an early warning, it is an unpredictable prophet, I have not heard of it, the creature of crows still has the ability to prophesy. ”
"Oh, that's so obvious. The crow sighed and said, "Actually, there is one thing you misunderstood, from the direction from which the black wolf came, the distance in ten days, if no one interferes, they can only come towards Damask City, this is determined by geographical conditions." ”
"Well, I'll admit that I guessed wrong. Knowing that she didn't know as much about the local geography as the locals, Rose didn't stick to her past guesses, and nodded in agreement, "Well, it doesn't seem that the wolves were brought in by you as I thought before." However, in fact, it is not much worse, although you did not attract the wolves, but you already knew the news of the inevitable arrival of the wolves ten days ago. In ten days, the way to deal with any city is to send troops to lure the wolves away, and whether to besiege or let it go after the diversion depends on the strength of the city. But you didn't do that, you would rather sit back and watch the wolves get closer and closer, and then contact us to give a commission, rather than divert the wolves, there must be a problem here, I think, this problem should be related to another task that you vaguely mentioned. ”
"Excellent judgment. A dark smile appeared on the crow's face, and he said softly, "However, whether there is any other purpose is my own business, and it has no effect on the mission." The black wolves do exist, and the location and direction are correct, and I don't exaggerate the possible impact, so we do need to ask for help. For you mercenaries, as long as there is no problem with the mission, it should be enough, as for the purpose of the mission and the meaning behind it, it is never within your scope of consideration. ”
"That's right, we don't think about that. Rose suddenly had a feeling that she seemed to be fighting with a strong enemy, and couldn't help but straighten her waist and lean forward, forming an oppressive force caused by the difference in position, "However, what I need to consider is another task that comes with it, sixteen units of source crystals, which can support the energy consumption of a medium-sized city for at least ten days, can be exchanged for more than three thousand grams of gold, and the expenses of an ordinary family of three for more than ten years are so much." And in addition to the source crystal, we can also get fifty kilograms of high-grade silk, go back to the middle and dispose of it, and at least two or three units of the source crystal will be credited to the account. Such a large amount of income, even for mercenaries, is quite considerable, if you just deal with a black wolf pack of eight hundred, it is already very good to be able to have one-third of the commission fee, that is to say, the second step of the task is probably far more troublesome than the first step. ”
"Why think so much?" said the crow, smiling, pursing her lips, "The task of the second step is not too late to be detailed when the second step comes." ”
"Mr. Raven, it seems that you don't know much about the world of mercenaries. Rose said with a straight face, "The most taboo thing for mercenaries is to rush to carry out tasks without understanding the situation of the mission, and the number of lives of those who do this is not enough to die." Although it is not yet time to carry out the task, I just consider whether to accept the task, but the principle of me and Xiaohuo, once we accept the task, we will work hard to complete it, for us, most of the tasks, acceptance means execution, so ......"
"Looks like you have to ask clearly?" asked the crow, frowning.
"Although I like danger, I hate trouble, and I have a hunch that your follow-up mission will be a very headache. Without hesitation, Rose replied, "So, you have to make it clear." ”
"Oops, it hurts. The crow was silent for a moment, then suddenly collapsed on the couch, covering his eyes and wailing, "Eyes, my eyes are going blind, and I am dying of pain." ”
"Whew, I see. Rose closed her eyes and sighed weakly, "Look, Xiaohuo, that's the trouble with that punch." ”
