Chapter 43 The moon is rounder there
October 1495 of the new calendar.
In the Frankish Kingdom, in the right window of the mercenary union, a handsome-looking waiter in a short skirt affixed a seal on a clay pot, then took out thirty banknotes and a receipt book from under the counter, and handed them out at the same time:
"The White Crow Mercenary Group has completed the task of collecting the nectar of the Peak King, and the appraisal is qualified, and the bounty is 3,000 cloth, please sign for it. ”
"Good, good!"
The head of the group, Vane, smiled from ear to ear, put a fingerprint on the lower right corner of the signed book, took the commission, and left the window with fluttering steps.
After returning to the rest area, three of his men immediately surrounded him and asked hopefully:
"Commander...... How?"
"Hahaha, the nectar is no problem, qualified!" he grinned, then took out the commission he had just received, and shook it on everyone's faces, and the smell of high-quality paper mixed with ink suddenly escaped into the air.
"Great, we've earned three thousand brims in two days, and the White Crow Mercenary Regiment must have a bright future!" said Martin, the archer, clapping his hands as he cheered.
"Commander...... What's that...... Isn't it time to divide the money this month?" the deputy head of the regiment, Hill, stared intently at the wad of money, and leaned over with a shy face.
"There's no rush. ”
Vane cleared his throat, put on a majestic expression, and said slowly: "Our mercenary group has finally begun to make a profit, and its income this month has reached 20,000 cloths, and the future is very bright!"
"Okay!" the three members of the group immediately applauded.
"But!" he continued with a heavy expression as his tone changed, "The duty of being the head of the regiment tells me that we must take a long-term view. You can't care about short-term gains, you know?"
"Commander...... You're not going to pay your salary, are you?" said the only female mage, Kassan, with red eyes and a cheap staff in her hand. He said with tears in his eyes:
"I can't even afford a spell scroll. ”
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. A trace of embarrassment flashed on Vane's face, and after coughing his throat twice, he said: "Strength is everything, only when our level improves, can we make a lot of money." ”
"We want to improve, too, but there are a lot of things that we can't learn just by reading books. Hill stroked his beard stubble. Sigh.
"Many secret realms are too dangerous, and it's a bit impossible to exchange your life for it. Martin spread his hands helplessly.
"Well, you guys summed it up perfectly. In view of the current situation, we must go to a professional place for training to improve our skills and knowledge. ”
"Training?" the eyes of the three lit up, this is good. They have long been suffering from nowhere to learn. The dilemma that the strength can't be raised.
"Yes, I plan to use these three months' commission to find a reliable training base to train our skills. Vane touched his deliberately long beard and said with a deep face.
"Agreed. The three of them agreed in unison.
"What training base are you looking for?" asked Martin, scratching his ears and cheeks, using an honorific salute.
"This ...... I haven't figured it out yet, but I definitely can't find a domestic cheating base, I'm a liar!" said Vane with hatred on his face.
"The best mercenary base is definitely in Rosevia. Kasan wore a look of course.
"Yes, if you can become an orthodox knight under the Eagle Banner. How nice that would be. Hill looked at the ceiling of the union and said with a wistful look on his face.
"It's good for young people to have ideals. But daydreaming is not right. Martin pierced his dreams mercilessly.
Perhaps it was because they were discussing too loudly, but when a female staff member in the special window heard it, she immediately walked through the side door at the back, walked over quickly, and bowed with a gentle smile:
"Three gentlemen and this young lady, do you want to find a professional mercenary training base?"
"yes. Vane nodded.
"Then consider the Sound Nest Mercenary Training Base in Glamorgan. She said with a smile.
"Glamorgan, Soundnest, doesn't sound good. Martin waved his hand.
The staff was not angry, picked up a thick stack of posters, and introduced diligently:
"Located on the island of Celtic in Rosevia, facing Gaul, Glamorgan is a training base open to the whole world for the lord of the Earl of the Green Knights, and the first experience is not only free of charge, but also includes room and board, travel expenses, and compensation for accidental disability. ”
"Rossvia, that sounds a little reliable. Martin immediately perked up.
"No money. Vane asked suspiciously.
"Yes, because it's the first experience, not only does it not charge money, but if you defeat the designated monster, the mercenary base will also give you a bonus. She replied with a polite smile.
"Count Green Knight, is it an orthodox knight?" asked Ciel, hesitantly.
"Of course, he's one of the strongest fighters in the world. The staff said firmly.
"I seem to have heard of his name, it seems that he is the Dark Eagle, and like Lord Geneviv, he is a legendary knight who survived the Hundred Days of Holy War!" Kasan Dai exclaimed, clasping her hands to her chest with a nymphomaniac.
"It's this person!" the other three suddenly showed admiring expressions.
It has to be said that Rosevia's ability to claim is quite strong, and although the Frankish top brass him to the core, the general public in the middle and lower classes is indeed regarded as a lighthouse country.
This also has something to do with the Frankish system, the kingdom is a federation of countless small states, the center is actually an ornament, and even the king is elected by the elector. The people who were beaten by Roussevia were all certain powers, and the people in the rest of the region were indeed not bullied by the empire.
The Frankish top brass had nothing to do about it, because Rosevia resisted several foreign invasions, and won many foreign wars, and this central empire of Atlasu was well deserved.
"And the Sound Nest Mercenary Base is guaranteed by the Amber Consortium, you should have all heard of the Amber Consortium, so you don't have to worry about its credibility at all. A confident smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she continued.
"It's the big consortium that created the Magic Purifier? That's a super consortium, absolutely no problem. Martin nodded again and again, constantly squeezing his eyebrows at the head of the group, Vain, and motioned for the other party to hurry up and agree.
"Can you guarantee that we can all get a workout?"
The head of the regiment, Vain, was still a little hesitant, in his eyes, money was a trivial matter, but time was a big thing, and after the golden period of strength growth, it would be difficult to improve it in the future.
This time, without waiting for the staff to speak, the deputy head of the regiment, Hill, held his head and shouted:
"Commander, do you still need to hesitate about this, this is the mercenary base under the Dark Eagle, as long as we see that lord and ask him for a little guidance, we will have a bright future!"
"Makes sense!"
Vane gritted his teeth, looked at the other party, and said in a deep voice, "We're going to the Sound Nest!" (to be continued......)
