Chapter 260: An Interlude in the Middle
Melanie subconsciously took the envelope from Gelkett's hand, and in the jealous eyes of the mercenaries around him, Melanie asked a little nervously: "About this matter, I'm thatββ"
"Can't you mercenary group go on any other mission?"
"No, Lord Gelkett. Faced with the strongest mercenary and the hero in her mind, Melanie seemed to have regressed back to girlhood: "It's our honor to be able to serve you, but my team still needs to stay for a while and can't leave immediately, will this delay your business." β
As soon as they heard Melanie's words, the mercenaries around them immediately volunteered to recommend themselves.
"Please let me be of your service to you, Lord Gelket. β
"We have a mage in our group who can teleport short distances and deliver letters to Miss Leilith as quickly as possible. β
"The Iron Crocodile Mercenary Group has promised to escort this letter to the royal capital of Saxony. β
Melanie couldn't wait to kill the guy behind him for a while, it was really a great luck to be able to get the intimacy of the mercenary king Gelkate, but his mercenary group needed to escort the client to the Misty Forest, and the unauthorized termination of the commission contract had a great impact on the reputation of the mercenary group. It's just that Melanie is really reluctant to take this opportunity, so it seems that it is better to let his own deputy in the regiment deliver the letter.
Gelkite waved his hand to signal the person next to him to be quiet: "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, when you return from completing the entrusted mission, you can just go to the Saxony royal capital." β
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Gelkette, I will deliver the letter to Miss Lelith as soon as the entrusted mission is over. Melanie hurriedly bowed and saluted,
After carefully putting the letter away, Melanie seemed to want to ask something, but the mercenary opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
"Do you know why I specifically chose your mercenary group to deliver the message?"
Gelkite could see at a glance what Melanie wanted to say, this question is also the question that many mercenaries want to ask, there are more mercenary groups that are stronger than the Burning Blade Mercenary Group, as long as Gelkitt gives an order, many people will be willing to follow the dogs and horses.
"Yes, Lord Gerquet. β
"Because you're the first mercenary to help me out, no matter why, whether it's a person who doesn't like the other party, or a hero on a whim, I like people like you with a straightforward personality. β
These words made some mercenaries who knew what happened at the gate of the town yesterday feel annoyed and regretful, but it was too late to regret at this time, there was no way! Most of the mercenaries were living with the mentality that more things were better than less, and if everything had to be uneven. Then there is no way to live this day, and it can only be said that Melanie, who was in the early stages at that time, was really lucky.
Gelkite took out the emblem of the Splittooth Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment and placed it in Melanie's hand: "If you're interested, why don't you Burning Blade mercenaries join my Splittooth Tomahawk." β
This gift is so valuable!
Melanie happily thanked Gelket, and even Milton of the previous Flame Spear Mercenary Group couldn't help but envy Melanie, compared to the marked gold coin in his hand, Gelket's emblem is a more weighty token, as long as Melanie's Burning Blade Mercenary Group is 100% able to join the strongest Cracked Tooth Battle Ax in the entire continent.
"Alright, I'll invite you all to have a drink!"
Gelkite said a word boldly, and all the mercenaries in the inn cheered, and the innkeeper naturally let the attendants serve a large amount of wine, Togelket, the legendary mercenary's popularity, and the turnover of the Snow House today is as good as a few days in normal times.
"Come on, everyone, a toast to the strongest mercenary in Free City, the undefeated champion in the arena!"
Gerkite took the lead in drinking a glass of fire fruit mulled wine, and when the mercenaries drank a glass of wine, Gerkite also began to inquire about the news of the Misty Forest, and soon Gerkite had a further understanding of the situation in the Misty Forest, compared to the last time he led a large number of mercenaries to come here in order to capture the fugitive elves, many species in the Misty Forest have undergone incredible mutations, and many animals have begun to evolve abilities similar to magical beasts, and their ferocious sexual desire and aggression have skyrocketed several times, and not only animals and even plants have also mutated, so that not only mercenaries but even some alchemists and pharmacists have also run to this border town that no one cares aboutγ
Because of the mutation in the Misty Forest, even the natives of Belica now dare not go into the depths of the forest, and at most they are only logging at the edges.
It is true that there are many lucky mercenaries and adventurers who have made a fortune by catching the cracktooth wolf or collecting mutant herbs, but such good days are coming to an end, the kingdom of Saxony has reacted and begun to seal off the surrounding area of the forest, and it is said that the royal capital has also sent more troops to prepare to be stationed over, and once the army arrives, all the mercenaries and adventurers who are stationed in the town of Belica will be swept home.
"You said there were elves in the forest!
Milton, who revealed the news, was not sure whether this rumor was true, so he said very cautiously: "There is indeed this rumor, and there are people who have been attacked and injured by elves recently, Lord Gelket, you can pay a little attention to it after entering the Misty Forest." β
Gerkite couldn't help but think of the elves who fled into the Misty Forest when they were first hunted down, could they have settled in the forest? No~ It is not easy to live in the Misty Forest where the blizzard is raging, at least for the elves, it is like putting a fish in the water on land.
The mercenaries talked about it, focusing on whether the news of an elf in the forest was true, and how much it would cost if they could catch one. At this point in the discussion, some mercenaries even began to ask about Gelkite about the price of those elves in the free city, and some of the more obscene people asked about the difference between female elves and human women.
Of course, Gerkite naturally did not answer these two questions, knowing that it was close to noon, Gerkite had just obtained a map of part of the Misty Forest from the mercenary's hand and looked at it, when the three girls slowly walked down from the upper floor. The female assassin known as the Black Rose seemed to be in good spirits, but the little fox Anvina was supported down by the female mage, and it seemed that the 'little fox' was tossed a lot last night.
Seeing the three of them, many mercenaries showed warm eyes, and carried the three beauties to bed in one night, including the well-known cunning little fox in the Northland, which had to make people envy the charm of Gelkit, who was known as the strongest mercenary.
The female assassin greedily looked at Gelkite who was surrounded by mercenaries in the middle, as an assassin in order to prevent his soul from drying up in the killing, just like a soldier who has fought on the battlefield needs a woman to nourish, women also need a man's caresses, especially a woman like herself who wields a dagger in blood and conspiracy, God knows if she will miss and die in the next mission, just like Gelket once said that the pursuit of excitement and pleasure is the most important thing!
I have to say that last night was really exciting, the indescribable pleasure made me feel as if I was going to die, but it was worth it to die in this endless beauty. Thinking of this, the sexy female assassin known as the Black Rose couldn't help but lick her purple lips.
"I have to say that the strongest mercenary in the legend really lives up to his name. The female assassin smiled and walked towards Gelkite: "I don't know if Your Excellency Gelkett is still free tonight, but you can let me see your braveryββ"
Listening to the female assassin's explicit speech, looking at the other party's delicate waist and towering chest, some mercenaries couldn't help but feel a burst of heat coming from their lower bodies.
Gerkite smiled and didn't answer, the female mercenary walked up to Gerket, fell down and seemed to want to sit on Gerket, but in an instant, the two daggers were drawn out by the female assassin as fast as the wind, and the mercenary on the side exclaimed and pulled out his weapon before reacting, and the dagger was on Gerket's neck.
At this point, the female assassin did not make any further movements, but said with a slight pride: "How? Lord Gelkett!As a man, it is best to never underestimate a woman's sweet words, or the next time I may plunge the dagger into your heart while you and I are doing what is most comfortable." β
Obviously, the female assassin didn't intend to kill Gelkite just to show her strength in front of the strongest mercenary, but she didn't expect that she could actually drive the dagger to Gelket's neck, and I have to say that in an instant, the life of the strongest mercenary on the continent was in her hands, which was really amazing. "I think it's impossible, if you have murderous intent, I'll know with your nose. Gelkett pointed to his nose, as if he didn't care more about the two daggers around his neck.
"Will the strongest mercenary excuse his momentary mistake?" the female assassin smiled as she withdrew her dagger, and the mercenaries around her finally withdrew their weapons with confidence.
"Hehe~ It's not a mistake, it's your slow speed, which makes me hit Hache quickly. Gerket suddenly dropped several small throwing knives on the table: "You forgot to take your things." β
The female assassin was shocked when she saw the four flying knives, and hurriedly looked down, all the flying knives on the belt around her waist were gone, could it be that the moment she drove the dagger to Gerket's neck just now, the other party reacted and the female assassin looked at Gerket's eyes full of horror, what kind of speed is this? The personal throwing knife was pulled away, and as an assassin, he didn't even notice it at all.
"I was rude to Lord Gelkite just now," the female assassin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly saluted.
The mercenaries on the side let out a burst of surprise, what happened at that moment was so many people present that no one could see clearly, originally some people thought that Gelkite was deceived by a woman before being exploited by an assassin, and for a while they thought that the title of the strongest mercenary was also a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that this is an exaggeration, Gerkite Casa!
