"Oh...... It turned out to be you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing this, Yu Lian seemed to have some vague memories.
"You're still alive?"
"That's right!"
The young mercenary gritted his teeth and snorted, then stood in front of Yulian, raised his head and looked at him with disdain.
"I didn't expect it, you bastard! You let us go to that damn place, and we almost didn't come! But luckily we were stubborn, and we finally came back! Why? Are you surprised? Don't you think I can't see it, you nobles are all sinister people who eat people and don't spit out bones, and you want us to die in that kind of hell place, no way!"
The young mercenary spat coldly, and the expression on his face was very ugly. It's no wonder that he and Big Brother Scar brought that message to this man in the first place, but they almost died in that hellish place. If it weren't for their luck, I am afraid they would not have come back. Although Big Brother Scar had already said that the other party had given so much money, this task would naturally be very difficult. But for this young mercenary, he just couldn't swallow this breath.
"It was really unexpected. ”
Yulian narrowed his eyes and looked down at the young mercenary in front of him.
"I have given you so much money, but I don't even know the danger of my mission, do you think that my money has not been spent, even if I slaughter a chicken, I will have to give a gem? It is not wrong to be stupid, but it is not right to pass the blame on others without authorization...... But I don't have time to discuss these issues with you right now, and I want to see your captain. ”
"You, just you?"
"Yes, I think you seem to have forgotten whose territory this is. If your brain volume is really that low, then I don't mind teaching. ”
"You're ......!!"
Hearing this, the young mercenary couldn't help but want to rush forward, but he was quickly stopped by his companion next to him, and then pulled to the side and whispered something. Obviously, while some people here don't have a passing IQ, it doesn't mean that everyone has to be mentally handicapped.
After a few moments, the young mercenary pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, then turned his head and glared at Yuren fiercely, then turned and walked into the manor. At this moment, another mercenary immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry for the rudeness, please come with me. ”
"Dogs that watch the door should learn to be polite. ”
You Lian sarcastically said casually, and the mercenary's expression on his face after hearing this sentence also froze slightly, and then he regained his original smile, didn't say anything, and walked into the manor with You Lian like this.
The manor was empty, there was no one in it, and occasionally one or two mercenaries could be seen practicing their combat skills in the garden, and when they sensed Yulian's arrival, they couldn't help but look at the young man in front of them with a hint of doubt and suspicion. However, Yulian obviously didn't care about this, and he followed the mercenary in front of him into the big house.
"Welcome, honorable lord. ”
Walking into the reception room, Yu Lian saw a burly man standing up with a smile and walking in front of him, and then bowed deeply.
"Frankly, I really didn't expect you to be here in person. ”
"I didn't expect that either. ”
You Lian nodded slightly, in response. The man didn't say anything more, just made a gesture of invitation, and soon, the two were seated on the sofa. And You Lian also noticed at this time that the young mercenary before did not leave, but stood in the corner with a gloomy face, which made him look at the other party with a little interest, but when he noticed You Lian's gaze, the young mercenary just snorted coldly, and then turned his head away, with a look of disdain. Then he bowed to the big man, then turned to leave the room, and slammed the door shut.
"Is there something wrong with your lord's visit this time?"
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Yu Lian withdrew his gaze, he smiled at the man in front of him, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not a big deal, but I haven't had a chance to come and see you since you came, and it's okay to come and see you now......... However, there are really few people here. ”
"Ahh ”
Compared to the young mercenary, the big man in front of him was obviously better at dealing with nobles.
"If anything happens to you, my lord, we will do our best. ”
"Thank you for your kindness. ”
You Lian nodded slightly, and then, his expression immediately became serious.
"So, I'll get straight to the point. ”
"Your Excellency, please speak. ”
"Recently, some very troublesome things have happened in my territory, and I think you should have heard about yesterday's incident. ”
"You mean the refugees who want to enter the city?"
"Yes. ”
Yulian nodded again.
"I've gotten information that these refugees seem to have been instigated by someone. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the big man's face became very surprised.
"Incitement?"
"That's right, I suspect that someone is secretly trying to do something against me, and although I haven't gathered any solid evidence, there have been rumors of this. ”
Yu Lian's expression was very serious, even a little angry. If anyone is allowed to look at it, they will not think that there is anything wrong with his expression, and the nobles are like that, and anything that involves their own interests will not be an exception. Therefore, Dahan didn't show any special look because of this, just nodded and motioned for You Lian to continue.
"However, I can't use my own men, and I think you should understand that the nobles have a lot of information about each other, and if I make any changes, it is very likely that someone will find out. Therefore, I hope to use the power of your Blue Feather Mercenary Group to help us investigate the truth of this matter and who the main messenger behind it is. ”
"This ..............."
Dahan's face was a little hesitant for the first time.
"Excuse me, my lord, why did you choose us?"
"It's simple. ”
Yulian spread his hands.
"Mercenaries are secretive and don't arouse suspicion, you are experts in this profession, and you are very good at finding out about this situation. Moreover, those refugees are low-level people after all, and it will be easier for us to obtain information if we are sent out by mercenaries, and besides, the strength of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group is well known to everyone, and your reputation is also a reason why I can trust. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Lian paused for a moment, carefully observed the expression of the big man in front of him, and then continued.
"As for the pay, I don't think you need to worry. I'll pay a deposit of 20,000 gold coins to cover your expenses, I know that buying and selling information is a very expensive business, but I don't mind. If you can find the main messenger behind the scenes, and solid evidence, I will give you another 30,000 gold coins, how about that?"
The reward of 50,000 gold coins for a task is not a small number, and for a moment, the big man in front of him almost agreed, but he just opened his mouth, but he did not say the answer that You Lian expected.
"This is indeed a very good reward, honorable lord, and frankly, I am amazed at your generosity. But I'm sorry, if you're only willing to pay 50,000, then I can't take on this task. ”
"Why?"
"It's simple. ”
Dahan stretched out his hand and poured himself a glass of red wine, before continuing.
"Now, as many people know, it is no news that you have a very, very powerful force, the Knights of the End, Lord Lord. While we haven't seen how you fought with our own eyes, we've heard a lot of information and rumors about the Knights of the End over the years. With all due respect, in the face of a powerful force like yours, ordinary people would not dare to come to you for trouble, otherwise what would have happened to them, and the Church of Holy Grace and certain people who do not know life and death are already their best examples. I don't think anyone would be stupid enough not to even see that. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing Dahan's answer, You Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the sofa with interest, and looked at him.
"So?"
"Although there is no clear goal yet, it is conceivable that the one who can be hostile to you must be a very large force, it is true that our Blue Feather Mercenary Group is not a small fish and shrimp, but the mercenary is a loose organization after all, besides, this is our private task, if it involves the mercenary group, then things will become very troublesome. Although it is said that we mercenaries eat this bowl of rice after all, it also depends on the object, if it is a very tricky trouble, then ............"
I am acting, and the other party is acting. Of course, Yu Lian saw this, and this was also the genius of this big man, although Yu Lian already knew that it was the Blue Feather Mercenary Group that instigated those refugees, but the other party didn't know. But on the other hand, because of this, the other party is also worried that if he takes on the task easily, it will arouse his suspicions. This is deliberately delayed, but his excuse is indeed justified, now the entire continent almost knows the existence of the Knights of the End, and still dares to pluck the hair on the tiger's head, so it is not stupid to the extreme, there is self-confidence with strong strength. If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, then things will get extremely troublesome.
And now, the other party put forward this reason, not only can they use it to knock themselves hard, but also can make themselves subconsciously not pay attention, because they have first hinted to Yulian that although the Blue Feather Mercenary Group is large, it is a loose organization, which obviously does not meet the characteristics of the forces that dare to oppose the Knights of the End. In this way, even if Yulian has doubts, he can't suspect them.
"I understand what you mean, then, we can discuss the price again, you are a professional, please speak. ”
“......... Lakh. ”
"No problem. ”
As he spoke, Yuren stood up, then held out his hand.
"I hope we can work together happily, of course, I think you should also understand that this task is extremely confidential, and the fewer people who know, the better. ”
"Of course I do. ”
Dahan also immediately stood up, reached out to hold Yu Lian's hand, and then showed a hint of a smile.
"Then, I'll find time to send someone to negotiate the next details and contracts. ”
After saying this, Yulian turned and left. And the big man didn't follow, just lightly made a mercenary salute to the other party, and then, watching You Lian's figure disappear, his expression gradually became serious. Soon, Dahan clapped his palms, and then quickly walked out of another room in the reception room.
"Withdraw Karl and them at once, move quickly, and tell them not to go back to here, but to go around the twilight forest first, and then follow my instructions. ”
"Yes, Captain!"
"Also, call Marie and Crowk. ”
A moment later, two figures appeared in the doorway, one of them was the young mercenary who had been arguing with Yulian before, and standing beside him was a young, lively girl. Her round face was set off by her short light brown shawl hair, which was very youthful and energetic. At this moment, the two young mercenaries walked into the room like this, and then looked at the big man in front of them with doubts.
"Commander, do you have something to do with us?"
"Yes. ”
The big man nodded, and then he glanced at the two of them solemnly, and then spoke.
"Actually, I just took on a task that I need the two of you to help with something. ”
"Mission?"
Hearing this, the girl's eyes widened with some curiosity, while the young mercenary frowned dissatisfiedly.
"Is it that damn nobleman's, Captain, I don't like ........."
"The customer comes first!"
The big man calmly interrupted the young mercenary's speech.
"You've been a mercenary for a few years, don't you still understand this truth? Remember, I don't care if you hate nobles, but don't cause trouble to the mercenary group!"
“............... Yes, Commander. ”
In the face of the big man's reprimand, the young mercenary seemed to be very unconvinced, he opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but the girl next to him saw that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled him, which made the young mercenary have to shut his mouth.
"First of all, Mary. ”
As he spoke, the big man looked at the girl.
"I remember, you were born around here. ”
"Yes, Captain, I was born here. ”
The girl nodded slightly.
"Very well, then I hope you can help me with some things, in a few days, I will send some people to the nearby city, I hope you can provide them with a few hidden places to live without being discovered, is there a problem?"
"No problem, Captain. ”
"Good. ”
Hearing the girl's answer, the big man smiled with satisfaction, and then he immediately restrained the smile on his face and looked at the young mercenary.
"As for you, I need you to send me a letter, the address I'll tell you later, remember, your task is to deliver the letter to the other person, no need to stop, no need to answer, come back as soon as you complete the task, understand?"
"Yes, Commander. ”
The young mercenary also nodded, although his expression was still a little unwilling, but he didn't say anything more. Perhaps pleased with his performance, the big man smiled and patted them on the shoulder, and walked out of the reception room, leaving the two alone there.
"Hoo ........."
It wasn't until the big man left that the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, and then the girl turned around and looked at the young mercenary in front of her with some dissatisfaction and worry.
"Crowk, why did you forget it again? Don't say those things in front of others, or you'll make a bad impression. ”
"I know, Mary. ”
Although he was also reprimanded, this time, the young mercenary was not as angry as before, but lowered his head with a blushing face.
"But I just can't help ........."
"We can't help but endure it, we are just small mercenaries, if we offend those big people, no one will speak to us. Moreover, we are still members of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group, if those nobles hear your words, even if they don't attack you, what if they get into trouble with the mercenary group?"
As she spoke, the girl took Crowk's hand.
"You've grown up, Crowk, you're not who you used to be, and you're going to learn to endure and endure it all. Remember, I'm always there for you......"
"Mary ........."
The young mercenary looked up with a happy smile, he looked at the girl in front of him, and then nodded vigorously.
"I will, Mary, don't worry, this time, I won't make the same mistake again. ”
"That's fine. ”
Hearing the young mercenary's answer, the girl smiled reassuringly, and then she let go of her hand.
"Then, I should also prepare, and you should also prepare for departure as soon as possible, I will pray for you, Holy Grace above, I wish you a safe journey. ”
"Me too, Marie, be careful on your own. ”
"Hmm. ”
The two men whispered, then smiled and left the room holding hands. They didn't notice at all that at this moment, outside the window of the reception room, a black shadow jumped out of the shade of the tree.
"What an unexpected discovery. ”
Charlotte still had an elegant, relaxed smile, and then patted the fallen leaves on her body.
"The host would definitely be very interested in this. ”
"Of course I'd be interested. ”
Yuren's voice was quickly conveyed through the soul connection.
"That's interesting information, and frankly, I didn't expect any surprises. ”
"Huhuhu, I knew you would like it, host. ”
"The young lady...... Is it called Mary?"
"Yes. ”
"What do you think of it?"
"It's not very pretty, but it's better to be young and energetic, and that's kind of an attraction. ”
"Are you lamenting your old age? Charlotte?"
"There is no such thing at all. ”
The head maid's expression did not change in any way because of Yuren's sarcasm.
"When it comes to experience, I'm still a step ahead. ”
"Of course. ”
Yuren said this, silent for a moment, and then, let out a hint of expectant laughter.
"Well, go look into it, you should know what I mean. There will be milk, and there will be toys. ”
"Yes, master, I know your mind very well. ”
