（263...... 084...... 458...... Book friend skirt, if you want to come, join the group. P.S. Friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, and your support is my biggest motivation. In addition, it is good for everyone to give more opinions, thank you. ）

"Senior sister, you are an adventure group. Dora looked at the other three people: "Are you coming to Kratomir this time to enter the Flash Forest?"

"Why, do you think it's dangerous to go into the forest this season?" asked Catherine, frowning, a little confused.

"Not really. Dora shook her head: "Warcraft, lack of intelligence, and not like intelligent creatures with fighting spirit, completely rely on ** fighting, gold-level professionals against gold-level Warcraft, at least one against three, a few of you cooperate, it doesn't matter if you deal with a dozen, I'm not worried about Warcraft." ”

"Are there any other problems in the forest?" Catherine was stunned for a moment when she heard Dora's words, and immediately understood what Dora meant.

"Well, I've had some problems lately. Dora picked up the information that could be said and revealed: "Recently, the headquarters took over a medium-sized mission to clear a group of thieves centered on the Flash Forest, and this thief group is engaged in human trade. ”

"Slave trade?" Lina frowned in disgust, drew a square on her chest, and whispered a few words of prayer.

"Not the slave trade, thanks to the elves, thanks to the 214-day war 1,200 years ago. Dora muttered in a low voice, "If it weren't for the elves erasing most of the great human aristocratic families who supported the slave trade, the abolitionist movement would not have succeeded so easily." ”

"If it's not the slave trade, then what are they doing in the human trade?" asked Catherine curiously.

"I don't know. Dora shook her head and said, "We caught some of the outside members, but they don't know who the buyer is or what it is used for. ”

"We had a Cult God Sacrifice last month. Catherine said, "Could it be the group?"

"No, there will always be traces and corpses in the sacrifice of evil gods. But the human beings sold by these people ......" Dora pondered for a moment: "It's completely gone, no people, no corpses, completely gone, no one knows what happened to them, so someone in the guild has entrusted a task with a high reward to track down the traces of this gang." The client is anonymous, but I guess it's some lord near Neville, or simply the current speaker of Neville. ”

After the division of the Neville Empire, twelve dukedoms and fourteen marquises were formed, and these twenty-six territories together formed the Neville Federation, the Federation did not have a king, and the agents sent by the twenty-six lords to the capital jointly formed the Council of Nobles to deal with state affairs, and the parliament elected a speaker every three years, and the speaker was elected from among the twenty-six lords, and the term of office could not exceed nine years, so there was the title of the current speaker.

"And you've tracked them down?" Catherine suddenly realized, "You mean, they're hiding in the forest?"

"Well, that's what the captive's confession says. "But the captives are all members of the periphery, and it is not clear where they are in the forest. ”

"They can camp in the forest. Catherine was a little surprised: "It's amazing. ”

"Actually, it's not that hard. Dora explained simply: "There are less than a thousand of them, and in the eyes of the Warcraft, they are a race, among which there are four gold-level professionals, and some silver-level professionals, so if the Warcraft in the Flash Forest is a strong race after all, as long as they don't go too deep to provoke the legendary Warcraft in the center, just find a larger cave to station, and there shouldn't be much problem with daily safety, at most, it will be some low-level minions." ”

"Well, that makes sense. Catherine nodded: "It turns out that you can get along with Warcraft like this, it's the first time I've heard of it." ”

"I also learned about this change of guard and being stationed here. Dora said, "So, now you go into the forest, in case you run into this group, it will be very troublesome." ”

"Thank you, Dora. Catherine said, "We'll be careful." ”

"Senior sister, you don't understand what I mean. Dora hesitated, took a few steps forward, held Catherine's arm with her right hand, looked directly into Catherine's eyes, and said in a very slightly pleading tone: "Senior sister, help me." ”

Catherine didn't speak, she looked at Dora calmly, her eyes began to slowly move down, from Dora's face, to her neck, to her shoulders, to her left arm, and finally to her left hand, which was pressed on her chest, and the corners of her mouth twitched and said, "Hehe, hehe, my dear senior sister, I haven't taught you the truth of being a human being for a long time." ”

"This, this, this, this is an accident, this is really a habitual action, I didn't mean it. Dora also looked at her hand in surprise, and explained with a dry smile as she retreated: "Senior sister, believe me, I really didn't mean to. ”

"You're a man. Catherine pulled her long hair helplessly, shook her head and sighed: "I really want to beat you." ”

Dora smirked with a fluttering eye: "Senior sister, I'm sorry, but I really ask you to help me." ”

"What can I help you?" asked Catherine, "Do you want to clear the thieves together?"

"Yes. Dora nodded affirmatively: "It's the season of demonic beast invasion now, and the people in the regiment are scattered in various villages along the border, so only forty silver-level members can be selected to enter the forest." Of course, even if it wasn't this season, it would be impossible to send too many people in, and if too many people entered, it would easily attract a large-scale demonic beast attack, and eventually it would only be wiped out. Therefore, the current situation is that I have to take forty members of the Silver Rank to clear out nearly a thousand enemies, and there are four Gold Rank and more than 30 Silver Rank among the enemies. ”

"Like, it's a bit of an exaggeration. Catherine pouted.

"It's an exaggeration, like going to die. Dora smiled bitterly and said, "It's good that you can't find them, but if you find them, it's not necessarily who pays whom." ”

"However, I remember that the leader and the captain of your Silver Lily Regiment are two legends. Catherine asked suspiciously, "And the captains of the third, fourth, sixth, and seventh teams are all golden ranks, why don't they follow?"

"Monster invasion. Dora cried with a sad face: "The first captain is in charge of the southernmost defense line, and the regimental commander is in charge here, and the two of them must not move." The other four Gold-tier captains are all stationed in the most dangerous villages, and if they are transferred, I am afraid that the villages will be breached, and a large number of villagers will be killed or injured, so it is not feasible to transfer them. Now the head of the regiment is considering whether to apply for a mission change and ask for help like other mercenary groups, but that will leave a bad record for the mercenary group, so I said, Senior Sister, you can help us. ”

"This group of thieves is an exaggeration of strength. Catherine looked down and thought, "I've never heard of it." ”

"It's the result of several bands of thieves coming together. Dora explained, "It's a headache to not know who the employer behind them is, but to be able to fuse several bands of thieves who have nothing to do with each other." ”

"Dora, I need time to think about it. Catherine thought for a while and looked at Dora sincerely: "You should know that this is a very dangerous thing, I can't agree directly, I need some time." So be it, I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning. ”

"Big sister. Lina winked at Catherine, leaned into Catherine's ear and whispered a few words before continuing to say in a normal volume: "Anyway, our task is to explore and hunt for treasures, whether we act with them, the probability of encountering the thieves will not be much different, and the danger is the same." ”

"Yes, big sister. Lina Vivien and Pennis had been listening and discussing for a while, when Vivien also said, "So, it's okay to agree." And you forgot about Lina's new skill, don't worry about the large number of enemies, it's okay. ”

Pannis didn't speak, and lay down on the table and continued to fight with the lamb on the plate, which eventually provoked Catherine's angry eyes. Of course, Catherine also knew that Pannis's reluctance to show herself in front of outsiders meant that he also agreed with Lina and Vivian's opinions.

"Whew. Catherine exhaled heavily and tilted her head to look at Dora, "I'm an adventurer. ”

"I know. Dora blinked in confusion.

"I'm an adventurer!" Catherine said in an accentuated tone, glaring at Dora.

"Ah, I see. Dora smiled, "I'll let the others report to the Adventurer's Guild to pay according to the rules." ”

"Good. Catherine's eyes began to become sharp, and she said with a full oppression: "Then, let's discuss the issue of remuneration." ”

"Five thousand. Dora held up five fingers: "No more." ”

"Are you kidding?" Catherine sneered, holding her chin with both hands, and looked at Dora with a cold gaze: "We have to face countless magical beasts, we have to face four gold professionals plus more than thirty silver, and finally we have to fight with more than a thousand people, and you want to send us away with five thousand gold coins, are you insulting our market judgment?"

"But you still have me and forty silver-level professionals behind you to rely on. Dora didn't back down, and said-for-tat: "We can only get 40,000 gold coins for the entire mission, which is one-eighth of yours, and we have already made a lot of determination." ”

"Ha, ha, ha, your joke is so funny. Catherine looked up to the sky and smirked: "Do you think that I am dealing with mercenaries on the first day? The intermediate tasks of the mercenary group are at least 50,000, and a task of this difficulty like yours, coupled with your employer's background, I don't believe that the remuneration is not more than 70,000." ”

"It's only 50,000 gold coins at most. Dora crossed her waist, and a spark seemed to appear in her eyes: "According to the number of people, we are forty-one, and the four of you can't give you too much, at most six thousand." ”

"Jokes. Catherine's eyes seemed to erupt into flames, and her gaze met in the air: "Can four diamonds be worth the same price as forty-one stones? ”

"Uh, I said. Pannis whispered to Lina and Vivien, "Is bargaining a compulsory course at their Knight Academy?" ”

"I think so. Vivien nodded her head: "And it's a murderous bargain." ”

Lina didn't know where to pull out a small folding fan, half-open and chuckled, watching with great interest as Catherine and Dora quarreled one gold coin after another.

"That's right, Lina. Vivien leaned on Lina's arm and whispered, "What did you secretly tell the eldest sister just now?"

"I'm just reminding her. Lina smiled like an elegant little fox: "Even if you find the other party, you don't necessarily really fight." At that time, if the assessment of the danger is too high, just mark the location and retreat temporarily, whether the battle is up to us or not, and even if they retreat, they will thank us. And anyway, there is a goal, and it will be too late to mobilize rescue troops from the outside when the time comes. ”

Pannis thought for a moment and sat down quietly to the side, trying to close the distance between him and Lina. Lina snorted softly, her gentle gaze sweeping over Pannis's face with a faint smile.

The argument lasted for nearly an hour, and under the almost numb gaze of the other mercenaries and Pannis in the tavern, Dora and Catherine finally settled the commission for fifteen thousand gold coins.

"I wish us a happy cooperation. The two female knights each smiled with satisfaction, and their hands were tightly clasped.
