The huge room was terrifyingly quiet, and the invisible sight was like a sharp arrow, and Geoffrey was in pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and his face was wet with sweat in a short time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Jeffrey. Finally the silence was broken by a voice of suppressed anger, and the man who spoke was a burly, muscular man, wearing heavy steel armor all over his body, and sat there like a mountain that could not be shaken.

He clenched the two-handed greatsword in his hand and said in an unconcealable angry tone, "You need to give everyone an explanation!"

Geoffrey's mind went blank, and what happened not so long ago was like a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from.

The Iris Mercenary Regiment is only a small Level 3 mercenary group, with no more than 50 members, compared to those famous Tier 8 and Tier 9 mercenary groups on the mainland, it is as inconspicuous as the earth dog at the feet of the dragon.

Like most small mercenary groups, most of their members just hope to accumulate gold coins that can retire early, and then retire early and return to their hometown, buy dozens of acres of land to become a rich man, if they are lucky, they may be appreciated by a big nobleman, and they can also be mixed with knights (here refers to the low-level aristocratic class, different from the paladin profession).

This goal is not too difficult for mercenaries who are lucky enough to survive, and as for those who are dead and crippled, as long as they don't starve themselves to death, it is lucky. Generally speaking, in most of the countryside, as long as 1,000 gold coins, you can achieve this small goal.

The mercenaries of Iris have also been working towards this small goal, and every year there are mercenaries who fall for this goal, and those who are more fortunate are crippled, but at least they are still alive. Clifford, the head of the Iris group, would be kind enough to give these companions who retired early a retirement fee of 500 gold coins, and those who died, if they had wives and children, could also get this pension.

It's not Clifford's pettiness, on the contrary, it's a sign of quite righteousness. Most of the mercenaries of the mercenary group did not end well in early retirement, so the mercenaries of Iris were extremely supportive of their leader, but there were pros and cons, and Iris's financial situation was also a mess, which was described as a very euphemistic statement.

However, some time ago, Lady Luck seemed to patronize Iris, and the members heard that a big patron spent 100,000 gold coins to hire Iris to escort him to Constanta, the dark kingdom, and it was the guy who was standing next to the head of the group now.

The members of the regiment unanimously thought that the cost of escorting the 100,000 gold coins was made of gold? But they didn't bother to pay attention to so much, and this kind of unjust head happened every day!

100,000 gold coins! 1,000 gold coins per person is only more than 50,000 gold coins, and there is still a vacancy of more than 40,000 gold.

Some wise people doubt the authenticity of the mission, and there must be something else hidden in this mission, but who cares so much, as long as the gold coins are not fake, there is no problem! These gold coins are kept with Geoffrey, it is said that this fellow's ancestors are a down-and-out nobleman, and he can read and write, and the accounts of the iris have always been kept by him, and he is also responsible for such things as the distribution of salaries and booty.

The good mood lasted until yesterday, to be exact, just now, the head of Clifford suddenly gathered all the members of the regiment, and dozens of people gathered in this house, and at once the hall of this temporary stronghold was full.

Dennis looked at Clifford, who was about to eat people, and then at Jeffrey, who was pale, sweaty, and crumbling, who seemed to faint at any moment, he swallowed his saliva and reluctantly explained: "Commander...... It's magic! That evil mage has taken control of our minds with terrible spells. ”

Clifford jerked to his feet, kicked over his seat, stepped in front of Dennis in a few steps, grabbed him by the collar like a chicken, and roared angrily, "Are you sure, Apprentice, Master, I've never heard of a mage doing such a thief! Are you sure you're not dazzled?"

"Ben, Andy, have you ever heard of this kind of thing?"

Ben and Andy were the only two mages that Iris had before, and although they were junior mages who could only cast level 1 spells, they were already quite rare for Iris. The number of mages is already scarce, and the number of mages who are trustworthy and not difficult to get along with is even rarer, most of the mages are either withdrawn, or they are accustomed to looking at people with their chins, and being able to read and hyphenate words is originally a talent that only nobles have, not to mention that the work of mages is far more difficult than these.

The red-haired Andy glared at Dennis dissatisfied, the necromancer was already unpopular with him, and this time he messed up the pension. Originally, Andy was still thinking about whether he could share a few thousand dollars so that he could continue his studies, but now it was all in vain. Annoyed, he replied, "Never!

The white-haired Ben, who looked to be thirty years old, shook his head when he heard Clifford's question, "Generally not, unless offended." ”

"Offense!" Jeffrey, who was lost in his soul, was suddenly awakened by this sentence, as if a person who was about to drown had grasped the straw that saved his life: "That's right, it's offense!"

"That mage, with a very beautiful maid!" called out Geoffrey......, "with a very beautiful maid!" he called out through gritted teeth, pointing at Dennis, and no matter what etiquette was for the honorable mage, "he was very rude to tease that beautiful woman!"

Dennis almost jumped, he struggled desperately, trying to escape from Clifford's grasp, but the emaciated necromancer was completely powerless in the big hands of the strong warrior. He could only stare at his red eyes, intending to kill Jeffrey, the rude guy who had been respectful to him not long ago.

"That's not flirting!" Dennis shouted as well, pausing before trying to explain, "I'm just looking at it twice!"

"Just two more looks?!" Jeffrey said mockingly, "If I hadn't tried so hard to hold you, you'd have pounced on someone else!"

......

Both of them erupted in amazing combat power, pouring dirty water on each other and trying to prove their innocence. Finally Clifford yelled, "That's enough!" He threw the emaciated mage at Jeffrey, and the two of them rolled together, and then a fight ensued, and the mage suffered a lot of losses in the fierce physical contact, but fortunately Ben couldn't see it and stopped them in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say what would have happened to Dennis.

Despite this, Dennis, who finally got up, had a blue nose and swollen face, and his robe was scattered, he looked at Jeffrey angrily, and said resentfully: "No matter how much you quibble, that storage ring was handed over to someone else by your own hand, I didn't let you do that, aren't you the four kingdoms of light the most evidence-oriented? This is irrefutable ironclad evidence, don't you want me to give you a black cauldron!"

The people of Iris were dumbfounded for a while, the necromancer was right, there was no necessary causal connection between the behavior of the lecherous mage and the loss of property, at most it could only be said to be the fuse, and it was only an unintentional mistake that must be investigated. But the old fellow Jeffrey, as a property custodian, lost everyone's property, which is an unforgivable act.

Clifford was angry at the two of them and the serious consequences they had caused, believing that it was a good habit to follow the local customs, and that according to Constanta tradition, the mage should be half responsible. The arrears of 50,000 gold coins are Dennis's last harvest today, and if nothing unexpected happens, the mage will have to work for Iris for free for a long time.

As for Jeffrey, in addition to being responsible for the remaining 50,000 gold coins, he also has to find a way to recover his employer's belongings. Clifford, the head of the group, had everyone disbanded, leaving only Jeffrey behind, who looked at Clifford with trepidation and the mysterious employer who was shrouded in shadows.

"Jeffrey," Clifford began, "do you know how big the basket you poked this time? at least 50,000 gold coins, when are you going to pay it back? five years, ten years, or a lifetime? Or you can get a lich to help you pack and sell it with your soul, so you don't have to worry about what to do with the rest of your life, what do you think of this suggestion?"

"But...... Captain ......" Jeffrey stammered: "You can't blame me for this, you know, mages always have all kinds of strange spells, and whoever encounters this situation this time can't avoid the same result." ”

"And what do you want?" Clifford was strangely calm, not as angry as he had been.

Jeffrey noticed this, and he boldly suggested, "We can find out that mage, that age can't be a high-level mage, he can't be more powerful than Ben and Andy, we can deal with him." ”

Clifford sneered: "It seems that I trusted you too much before, and your IQ completely betrayed my trust, Jeffrey! What kind of person do you think such a young full-fledged mage would be? Jumped out of a crack in the stone? Think about it with your brain, you can earn it again if you don't have money, and if you lose your life, everything will be over, and you can't even go back to your soul in this country." ”

"I heard you have a sister back home? Your name is Dolores, right? Why don't I visit your sister after this mission?......?

The tower-like Clifford has a nimble tongue that doesn't match his appearance at all, and in the frenzied splattering of saliva, Geoffrey is completely stupid, and he can only ask sluggishly, "So what now?......

"Go and ask who the mage is, find him, and if you can't get it back, give him this. Clifford pulled out a key, "Tell him that the key will sell for fifty thousand gold coins, and if you want to open that chest, pay the money happily, so that most of your debt will be settled, understand?!"
