Please confirm the contents of the contract and write your name here. If you have any questions, you can ask them to me right now........."

Offariel's speech was interrupted once again by a burst of rough laughter, and the mercenaries laughed as they wielded their weapons, leaning against the trunk of a tree beside her or standing beside their companions.

"Hey, Miss, we're not idiots who are afraid of death, don't coax us in that way, you make us feel like babies who have just been born and need someone else to call us on!"

"I really want to be a baby, lying in her arms, hahaha, she must be very soft there, I just don't know if there is milk?"

"Hahaha..............."

In the face of the ridicule of these vulgar men, Ofariel raised her eyebrows slightly, her face was very calm, and did not change in the slightest, but the corners of the girl's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and then she coughed lightly.

"Now, let's confirm the most important clause of the peace treaty, which is to raise you to the intermediate rank. ”

The originally unbridled laughter stopped at this moment, and the men looked at the girl in front of them with excited eyes. They looked at each other with awkward smiles on their faces, but they didn't know what to say. A few of the mercenaries chuckled softly twice, and then fell silent and said nothing. Noticing their expressions, Offariel nodded in satisfaction before she withdrew her gaze again.

"According to the terms of the peace agreement, you must first take a test to determine if your body is suitable for improvement. If so, then we can proceed with further planning. And if you don't meet the physical requirements, then you will have a special training period of 30 days under the leadership of Miss Judy, and if after this training, there are still people who can't meet the requirements, then sorry, they will not get the opportunity to improve their strength. ”

"Hey, hey, Miss. ”

Hearing this, a mercenary couldn't help but shout.

"We don't know what the training is, what if you deliberately make things difficult for us?

"I don't know the specifics of the training, I'm just responsible for conveying it to you. ”

Opaariel was unaffected in the slightest, her bright eyes staring calmly at the mercenary who asked the question, without flinching or wavering. Instead, the mercenary turned his head away with a red face after being stared at by Offariel for a moment, which in turn drew ridicule from his companions. "Hey, you're not shy, oh my God!"

"Shut up, you damn bastards, I'm still an innocent little virgin!"

"Innocent?virgin?I don't know who was holding Misha in the big ** tavern that day............"

The mercenaries were in confusion once more, but Offariel remained calm, in fact she was used to it. After all, Offariel had been frequenting civilian quarters since she was still alive, and the words of the farmers, artisans, and wanderers seemed to be no different from those of the current group of mercenaries. And in that case, Ofaril can stay calm, and in front of this group of mercenaries at the moment, she naturally will not lose her temper.

In fact, when O'Faryl was looking at these mercenaries, several of the older leaders of the mercenary group were also secretly looking at her, they originally thought that a delicate lady like O'Faryl might not be used to getting along with her mercenaries at all, and even thought that the other party might be frightened and turn around and run away crying. But now it seems that this beautiful girl is quite calm and composed, and she is very popular with everyone. The most noteworthy thing is her long violet hair......... Is this girl a royal family?

This time the mercenaries didn't laugh for long, partly because they had discovered that the girl was not as easy to deal with as they thought, and partly because their boss had also sent a signal. Mercenaries can ignore a noble lady, but it is absolutely impossible not to obey the orders of their captain. For these mercenaries who make a living from fighting, orders are above all else.

"After passing these two tests, those who do not have the ability to ascend ......... You can only give up, because if you can't pass the test, then it means that even if you want to improve your strength, the possibility of death will be much greater. According to the terms of the peace agreement, each mercenary will be paid ten gold coins per month for the duration of the contract, and during the signing of the peace agreement, the shops in Valhalla will give you a discount, and if you have maintenance, or repair and purchase weapons, we can give you certain discounts. ”

This time, Ofariel's words did not elicit ridicule, but instead came the slightest inhalation of the mercenaries.

"Holy grace is above, ten gold coins per month, I shouldn't be sleepy!"

"I've lived for most of my life, and I've never gotten so much money..............."

As the mercenaries exchanged words and chattered, a man in iron chain mail stood up, holding a large axe and looking at Ofariel warily.

"This young lady, what is our mission? I have to say that your lord is willing to help us move up the ranks, and is willing to give us so much remuneration, and even gives us so many preferential measures. I don't think he hired us here to guard the forest, could you please tell us one or two?"

"Absolutely. ”

Offariel nodded slightly, and then she closed the peace in her hand.

"First of all, I think you should know that if you sign this peace treaty, then for the next three years, you will all have to fight for Lord Yuren. ”

"Of course we know that. ”

Hearing this, the mercenaries nodded, the young lord had already said to them before this sentence, although the three-year period was a bit long for the mercenaries, but it was not to the extent that they could not accept. After all, the pay is so generous, even if you stay here for three years, it's not bad.

"For the next three years, you will fight for your lordship, so ........."

O'Faryl paused, biting her lower lip with some hesitation. Frankly, she didn't approve of Yulian's approach, but now, she was just an adjutant, and her task was to report, so after thinking for a while, she continued.

"So, you may be broken up and regrouped. ”

As soon as O'Faryl's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

"Hey, Miss, that's not how it works! Why should we be broken up and reorganized? Brothers have fought together until today! We don't have such damn thoughts!"

"By the way, what was the lord thinking?"

"In the battles that come to come, the lord will lead you into battle yourself, and he will need to make adjustments to your deployment. ”

Faced with the mercenaries' questions, Ofariel answered unhurriedly.

"If you are going to sign a treaty, then this is one that must be observed, and the lord will do his best to keep your formation, and after the peace is over, you can return to your own team. But not now, for the sake of the future battle, we must make the most optimal selection and handling methods. ”

“...............”

Hearing this, the mercenaries stopped talking, and frankly speaking, Yulian's condition did reach the bottom line that they could accept, but what about this? Compared with the dream of advancing to the middle level, there should be no problem with the dispersal and reorganization of this temporary surname......... But......... Although the mercenaries have their own ideas, there seems to be no way for them to say anything more at the moment.

"And, after the peace treaty has been signed, you must reside in Valhalla, and you cannot leave the forest except for your mission...... If you must go out, you must apply and you will not be able to leave until you have been approved. If someone leaves without permission, or tries to escape......... As the lord said, I won't give you a second chance. ”

Infariel let out a long sigh as she said this, and then she took out the peace treaty in her hand.

"Now, you can take a closer look at the detailed terms, and if you are sure that there are no problems, you can sign the treaty. ”

"I have one more question. ”

Just then, another voice sounded, it was a young half-elf, judging by his dress, he should be a ranger. At this moment, he and his companions were standing in the shadows of the trees not far away, staring at Ofaril in front of them with a slightly confused gaze.

"This beautiful young lady, we are just forest rangers, and we have little interest in improving our mid-level strength, so can you sign another peace agreement with us? We don't need these powers, and we hope to gain some more freedom from this. ”

Although for the warriors, the awakening of soul abilities is a very important thing. But that doesn't mean everyone can put it first, and the same is true for these rangers, who are best at tracking tracks, setting traps and surviving in the wild, and archery. In contrast, frontal combat has always been deliberately avoided by them, so these half-elves have no special interest in awakening soul abilities. Moreover, the blood of the elves also gives them a rather unique talent, and they do not need other powers.

"Of course, I'll report to my lord. ”

Hearing what the other party said, O'Faryl nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what the other party said.

At the end of the meeting, O'Faryl stepped out, she stood on the soft lawn, rubbed her forehead, and leaned her body against the trunk of a nearby tree -- the mercenaries did not intend to live in Valhalla, although O'Fariel tried to "tempt" them with this, but these mercenaries were obviously unmoved, and they chose to live and live in a clearing outside the City of Valhalla, on the one hand, this is their habit. On the other hand, it's a sign that they're just a bunch of outsiders.

Offariel watched them as she reached out and took the small kettle from her belt - she was still wearing the most action-friendly scholar's outfit, and after the sisters forced Ofariel to wear a maid's outfit during training, perhaps due to the reaction force, Offariel had decided to keep the traveling scholar's dress for the rest of the day, apparently intending to hold on for a hundred years.

Just as the cool spring water dispelled the exhaustion, a familiar voice sounded.

"Looks like everything is going well?"

Yu Lian stood not far away, looking at the girl in front of him with a smile, in fact, he had already seen Ofariel's performance before, and I have to say that this former princess Her Royal Highness is still a little tricky. Calm and composed, and organized, clear and distinct, even if he becomes the commander of the army in the future, he will be a good person, but ......... Julien shrugged his shoulders, retracted his thoughts, and walked over to Ofariel's side. And the eldest lady really seemed to be a little tired, she did not turn around as quickly as before, but was still drinking water in small sips. It seems that she is indeed tired, and it is no wonder that since Yulian returned, he has only been responsible for proposing a general direction plan, and leaving the details completely to his own subordinates. Charlotte and Judy both specialize in art, so it's okay to say. But Ofariel had more to do than they did. She has to come up with plans, allocate finances, and organize intelligence......... Well, 80% of these affairs are decisions made by You Lian patting his head, and he is at least half responsible.

"What happened to those mages? You shouldn't have sent them somewhere they could never go back. ”

"Of course not. ”

Hearing Offariel's slightly sarcastic inquiry, Yuren smiled and shook his head.

"I've sent them out of the Twilight Forest, huh......... I have to admit that the Mage Guild is a very friendly and worthwhile organization to deal with. I think after a while, they will come and visit us. ”

"Unsolicited visits?"

Ofaril frowned, her instincts telling her that the young lord was not a simple fellow, and that everything he said could in fact mean something completely different from what ordinary people understood.

"Is it a kind visit?"

"Of course, my adjutant, I wish you could have a little more faith in your lord. ”

Sensing Ofariel's thoughts, Julien laughed lightly. I have to say that this time the contact with those guys from the Mage Association was indeed smooth, the other party had no intention of falling out with him, and the old mage was obviously very interested in this territory. Of course, Yuren knew why, the biggest goal of the Church of Grace and the Mage Guild was the source, but at least the Mage Guild would be more sensible, and not turn around like a dog that smells meat like the Church of Grace.

However, to Yulian's surprise, this time Ofariel did not answer immediately, on the contrary, her face was a little serious, and the girl put the jug back on her waist and was silent for a moment, before she raised her head and looked at Yuren seriously.

"My lord, maybe you should have a drinking party. ”

"Here?"

Hearing O'Fariel's statement, Yulian was a little unimpressed, as a knight, he had participated in many drinking parties. But he never threw his own party. It's simple, and Julien doesn't like to be too busy. When you go to someone else's drinking party, you are a guest and you can leave whenever you want. And if he organizes it himself, then he will become the master, and then it will not be a matter of leaving when he wants.

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

Yuren stared at the girl in front of him, he knew that Offariel should not make such a suggestion for no reason, this former princess is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun, she is the type who likes to be quiet and not like to move like Yuren. So, if she suddenly made such a request, then it is very likely that something happened. As Eurian expected, O'Faryl quickly reached into his arms and pulled out a beautifully decorated letter.

That's why. ”

"It's ..............."

Yuren reached out and took the letter from Ofariel, then opened it and looked at it, then narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sneer.

"The royal family is finally not so stable. ”

"It's because you're too ostentatious, lord. ”

O'Faryl sighed helplessly and reached out to hold her forehead.

"Three high-level swordsmen, in the kingdom of West, is a very important fighting force, especially at present, we are likely to experience a war, from the perspective of the ruler, naturally hope to get the help of the strong, rather than plant a seed of uneasiness in their own territory............ So, I can also say that it's your own fault. I was going to wait for the troubles to be over, but now it looks like we might have a better chance. ”

"Mage Guild. ”

Yuren tore off the letter in his hand, the snow-white paper shattered between his fingers, and then disappeared into thin air. And Yulian just shook it off.

"Maybe it's a good opportunity, but I'm not going to let the royal family be so secure, I don't think you have forgotten that there is also a princess living in our castle. ”

“..................... I guess you're ready, aren't you?"

"Maybe, maybe not. ”

Yulian didn't answer directly, but showed a meaningful smile.

"I'd like to see what His Highness the King can do with me. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Looking at Yuren's expression, Offariel's face was a little gloomy.

"After all......... That's the king of a country, and I know you don't like him, but ......... At least on the surface........."

"I see what you mean, Miss O'Faryl. ”

Yulian bowed slightly, interrupting Ofariel's somewhat hesitant persuasion.

"Rest assured, I will make a plan that will satisfy everyone. ”
