Chapter 30: The Golden Sword
It was a meeting room the size of twenty basketball courts, and there was no sign that a wedding reception had been held here yesterday, and the huge room was empty except for the thick velvet carpet on the floor.
The officer leading the way entered the room and said, "Your Excellency, this is Mr. Coming.mall. The voice echoed in the empty room, and he bowed slightly to Mo Mingke and left the room.
"The greetings have been poor these days, so please bear with me. Count Pampasy stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Mo Mingke.
Mo Mingke shouted: "It's okay, the food in the mansion is very good." ”
After Mo Mingke said this, he couldn't help but laugh, fortunately the room was really amazingly big, and the laughter reached the ears of Pan Paxi on the other end, and it sounded like a sneeze.
He is a celebrity now, and in three days, they have eaten enough food for ten people to live for a month, which is really a little embarrassing when he thinks about it, and what is even more embarrassing is that the brown linen shirt he wears is the most popular style of farmers in Yunzi City, and he is still the leader of an A-level mercenary group.
Mo Mingke walked towards Count Pampasy with small steps, and this journey took a full three minutes, which was actually much larger than the main hall of Blood Moon Castle.
The Count of Pampasy was a very good-looking fat man, and when he smiled at a man, he always made the other unguarded, because when he smiled, his eyes were squinted and he could not see.
Mo Mingke didn't understand the local etiquette, so he had to stand in place in a daze, and Pan Passibo smiled again and said, "Don't be so restrained, just treat this place as your own home." ”
Not even a chair told me how to call this place home......
As if seeing the thoughts in Mo Mingke's heart, Count Pampasy explained: "This place just had a wedding yesterday, and it was not completely cleaned until this morning, because of the need for a new carpet, all the furniture and furnishings have been temporarily moved to other places. ”
"I see. Mo Mingke nodded, a gust of wind blew on his back, and when he turned his head, a servant appeared behind him with a silver plate, on which was a bottle of wine and two glasses.
"Would you like a drink?"
"No, thank you. ”
Count Pampasy waved his hand, and the servant quietly retreated. Mo Mingke secretly wondered, wouldn't it be convenient for assassins to be assassinated with such a thick carpet?
"I came to you for a reason. "Count Pampasi finally got to the point.
"Lord Castle, please speak. Mo Mingke was secretly happy in his heart, the deal is here again!
"I heard that your Golden Meteor Mercenary Group is an A-level mercenary group, right?"
"That's right. ”
Mo Mingke could guess what Pan Passi's questions would ask next, so he preemptively said, "My father died three months ago. On his deathbed, my father told me that my ancestor was a great adventurer who died heroically in the battle to defend the country of Gantt a hundred years ago, and the Golden Meteor Mercenary Regiment he founded has gradually faded into oblivion. After that, I kept thinking, how can the blood of the ancestors be easily abandoned......?
Count Pampasy suddenly shouted excitedly, "Long live the adventurous spirit!"
"What, what?" Mo Mingke was confused by the city lord's reaction, this carefully fabricated lie hadn't been finished yet, why was it suddenly interrupted......
"Mr. Coming.mall. Count Pampasi's narrowed eyes flashed with a scorching light, and the fat on his face was completely stretched out at this time, and this smile was no longer an officialdom smile, "It's not a secret..... My father was also a great adventurer. When I was a child, he would always tell me about his thrilling adventures in the past, he had traveled to the Outer Lands and seen the wars between orcs and elves, he had been to the ruins of Gantt, where he was touched by ogres and inferior people who roamed the land of death, and he had even been to the end of the world, the eternal frozen Far North, where he had experienced the uncanny and unbelievable beauty of the ethereal......
Mo Mingke nodded vigorously, pretending to be deeply moved, but he was thinking in his heart, what did this guy want to express?
After recounting a long story of his father's experience, the Count of Pampasy added: "We are all the offspring of adventurers, and we all have a fiery heart, a desire to explore, and a courage to forge ahead!"
"Yes, Lord Castle, I couldn't agree more with what you said. Mo Mingke regretted that he used the word "adventurer" to describe his "ancestor" at the moment.
"It's not a secret...... I'm actually very rich. Count Pampasy raised his right hand and swept the large empty room, "All thanks to the gifts of the people. ”
"Yes, Lord Castle, I couldn't agree more with what you said. Mo Mingke said weakly.
"I've had a mountain of money, I've had a lot of food, I've got enough food and clothing, and I'm very happy with everything – but I've always had a little regret ......"
Count Pampasy suddenly stopped and did not speak, deliberately waiting for Mo Mingke to ask. But Mo Mingke smiled with Mona Lisa and didn't ask questions, and after the two stared at each other like this for a minute, Count Pampasy finally couldn't hold it back.
"I want you to help me find my father's bones. Count Pampasy retracted his smile and returned to his posture with his hands behind his back, "The Hundred-Eyed Demon Cave, that's what the locals call that place. ”
"Do you want us to go to the Hundred-Eyed Cave to find your father's bones, but if there are many bones in there, how can we tell which one belongs to your father?"
"It's simple. The old king once gave my father a golden sword, which was made of pure gold, and the sword, hilt, and scabbard were made of pure gold, and the scabbard was engraved with the name of our family. Ever since my father received this gift, he would always carry this sword with him whenever he went out on an expedition. So—you just need to look for this golden sword to find my father's bones. ”
"Understood. What is this Centennial Cave? Do you know about it?"
Count Pampasy said with a gloomy face, "I'm afraid no one knows what is terrible in this place, because none of the brave people who went in to explore made it out alive. ”
"This ......"
"I have sent several groups of brave men to look for them, but they have not returned. Count Pampasi's face hung on that officialdom-like smile again, "Everyone is a bold person, and there is no need to sign the contract." If you can bring back the bones and the golden sword. The conditions are whatever you want, and I will satisfy you with any reward you want, how about it? Do you dare to take on this task?"
"Of course you dare!!Long live the adventurous spirit!" Mo Mingke replied without even thinking about it.
"Very good! Very good!" Count Pampasy patted Mo Mingke on the shoulder and nodded approvingly, "Young man, I am very optimistic about you!"
"Awards, awards. I have only one question. ”
"Speak. ”
"Have you ever sent an A-level mercenary group to the Hundred Eyed Demon Cave before?"
"Not yet, you're still the first. ”
Mo Mingke patted his chest and said, "I understand, this matter is on us!"
