Chapter 44: The Mercenary Association
At the west entrance of Grand Nature College, there is a carriage and horse shop.
As a gathering place for the nobles and scholars of the Duchy of Gran, with enough gold consumption, travel here is not limited to horse-drawn carriages, but also has developed low-level beast chariots, which are faster.
Even in order to meet the special needs of high-spending scholars, large commercial banks have also developed long-distance transportation services for flying monsters and balloon airships, but the corresponding service costs are not affordable for ordinary people.
Lei Luo looked up at the balloon airship that was gradually flying away in the sky, imagining the beauty of the sky overlooking the earth, and came to a trading house called 'Tours of Ters'.
It was a skinny boy in his twenties, dressed in a light gray burlap shirt.
Bobby, who was good at observing words and feelings, saw the black-robed magician slowly stopping in front of him, and immediately knew that business was coming, and hurriedly put down the feed in his hand and greeted him with a smile.
"Honorable Magician, where are you going?"
Lei Luo looked at the attentive boy in front of him, who was about his own age, and a few months ago, he prayed for mercy from the priest at the foot of the steps of the church on Agate Lake.
"Knowledge changes destiny. ”
Inadvertently, Lei Luo became more determined in his heart to seek knowledge, and said calmly to him: "I want to go to the Mercenary Association." ”
Generally speaking, scholars do not talk about academic issues in front of believers, which adds to the mystery of magicians in people's eyes, just like Lei Luo in Bobby's eyes at this time, young, noble, and mysterious.
"Okay!"
In response, Bobby said: "To the Mercenary Association, we have two prices here, two silver coins and three silver coins, which are so fast that it only takes an hourglass time, and it is slow enough to take about an hourglass time, which do you think you need?"
Hearing the price, Lei Luo's heart was bleeding.
Pretending to be casual, Lei Luo said calmly: "It's an hourglass time, come out and relax." ”
It's a poor magician, and this time there is no oil and water.
Bobby sighed in his heart, but his face remained enthusiastic: "Haole, please wait a moment, I'll go and put on the carriage and send you to the Mercenary Association." ”
A moment later.
Relo got into the carriage and, with Bobby's skillful driving, drove along the bluestone road in the direction of the St. Granburg Mercenary Society.
Inside the car.
Lei Luo took out the borrowed books from the library, the library of the huge Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, because of the church, there were only a few books on cosmic celestial bodies, and they were all the uncut conjectures of low-level scholars, similar to the form of academic papers.
Even so, Lei Luo still read carefully, and began his own enlightenment of cosmic astronomy.
About an hourglass and a half later, Bobby's voice came from outside the car.
"Dear Mr. Magician, the Mercenary Guild has arrived!"
There was a lot of noise outside, Lei Luo sorted out his meter and stepped out of the carriage, looking at the majestic red building in the distance, like a sleeping ancient beast, and the fierce aura rushed towards him.
Roar!
There was an endless stream of mercenaries, the breath of iron and blood, adventure and wealth, and the large demonic beast mounts of amazing size rumbled by, roaring one after another, and the mercenaries looked sideways, swearing that their mercenary group would also develop and grow in the future, and then they went away in the heroic laughter, boasting about a thrilling adventure they had had.
"Sir, please go over by yourself, the aura of those demonic beasts is too strong, and the carriage can't pass. ”
Lei Luo came back to his senses, looked at the nervous horses, nodded to Bobby, took out two silver coins and handed them over, and then jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the Mercenary Guild Hall.
"Sure enough, there was no oil and water. ”
Bobby shook his head and drove away without the tip he was expecting.
Lei Luo looked left and right, observing the mercenaries who stopped in front of the hall of the Mercenary Association.
There were several regular mercenary groups stationed outside, seemingly waiting for the head of the group to enter the hall to receive the task, whispering to each other.
In contrast, a large number of lone mercenaries are much more lazy, often sitting on the spot at random, pillowing their weapons, and chatting and laughing with people they know well.
There will also be several elves, half-elves, and dwarves in the crowd.
Relodo glanced at the bearded dwarf not far away, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, what an incredibly strong guy!
Although this guy is only about a meter tall, he is amazingly strong, his legs are very short, his arms are almost thicker than his thighs, leaning on the thigh of a mammoth, and he is not worried that this three or four meters tall mammoth accidentally steps on him, and there are two rough big axes beside him, and the axes are almost equal to his height.
Goo, goo, goo......, goo
With wine on his beard, the dwarf then tore at the flesh and bones of his legs, and his appetite was amazing.
It seems that because of the relationship between the magician, wherever Lei Luo goes, the people around him will get out of the way slightly, and soon come to the door of the hall of the Mercenary Association.
Lei Luo was going to go in, and there were people inside who were going to come out, and a wild man with a black axe staggered past Lei Luo, holding a beast skin contract scroll in his hand, and shouted in front of the hall door: "The Charging Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment recruits five temporary teammates, and after the assessment, you can officially join the team!"
The wandering mercenaries in front of the hall suddenly stood up and surrounded them.
Lei Luo walked into the hall, and after examining the guardian who maintained order at the door, he did not interrogate Lei Luo like everyone else.
Countless people stopped and stopped, and there were various level missions hanging high on the marble walls, but most of them were D-class missions, responsible for escorting caravans, finding some kind of low-level specimen, hunting some kind of scriptured monster specimens, etc., often requiring the cooperation of multiple people.
Curious, Lei Luo glanced at the S-class quest scroll on the top.
S-Class Missions:
Find clues to the ruins of the Qur'an civilization in the Crucible Desert.
Reward: 7.5 million gold coins or equivalent energy crystals, plus 100 grams of star crystals.
"Uh, this should be a mission issued by the Royal Academicians Committee, right?"
Lei Luo guessed: "Finding the ruins of the ancient civilization is the dream of almost all scholars, and in addition, in "Self-Control", this ancient civilization that has disappeared is also mentioned......"
Lei Luo shook his head and looked at the other S-Class missions.
S-Class Missions:
Find the complete remains of ancient creatures in the Abyss of Death.
Rewards: 6,000,000 gold coins or equivalent energy crystals, plus a lifetime elder seat in the St. Gramborg Gladiatorial Arena, and a Yellow Spring Bird mount.
......
Afterwards, Lei Luo went to the place where the mercenary mission was released.
This is a sweet-looking blonde girl in her twenties, with big lips and eyes like azure amber, and when she looks at Lei Luo, she immediately shows a sweet smile.
"Dear Mr. Magician, may I ask if you need any help?"
Moments later, Lei Luo paid the silver coins, took the task scroll, and after confirming that it was correct, turned and left.
Scattered mercenaries who have not joined the mercenary group, commonly known as E-class mercenaries, although these soldiers will also pay some deposits to the association to ensure the effectiveness of the employer's mission contract, but compared with the regular mercenary group, the effectiveness will undoubtedly be much lower, and defection to the employer often occurs when it is dangerous.
Fortunately, Lei Luo's trip was not a dangerous thing.
