Chapter 07: The mission comes to the door

Moral is now the head of the mercenary group, and he is in charge of the logistics and finances that Randall was responsible for before.

After graduating from the Bloodshine Academy, Morar became a knight, and his father, Leslie, planned to let him gradually take over the family's salt business.

Morar was initially excited to make a big difference in the family business. What he didn't know was that he had already trained his temperament with Arthur in the past few years, and let him guard a store every day to watch the purchase, sales, and inventory of the guys below, and he wore out all his patience after a long time. He threw aside his cultivation and the business of the store, and found a group of former fox friends and dog friends who ate and drank all day long. Old Leslie was helpless about it.

What pulled Moral out of this drunken dream was one day when he suddenly received a letter from Arthur, and thinking of Arthur, Morar felt that he had energy and hope in life. Without any hesitation, Moral said hello to his father and hurried from the royal city to Huaorez.

"Big brother, I received a big business. Morar took three steps and two steps before rushing in front of Arthur. Because he was used to managing the business of the store before, Morar was still used to calling the mercenary mission to do business.

Arthur rolled his eyes at Moral, "Don't get so excited, there are only suitable tasks for mercenaries, and there is no so-called big business, because the higher the reward, the greater the risk." Tell me, what's the task?"

"Escort mission, escort a shipment from the Oublin mining area in the Orlando Mountains back to Huaorez City, with a reward of two thousand gold coins. ”

"Two thousand gold coins is also a high-paying task, did you take it from the mercenary guild, or did your employer come to you directly?" Arthur didn't focus on the task itself.

Morar said with some smugness: "It's all my credit that the mercenary group was able to take on this task this time, the stone supplier I knew when I built this courtyard, and their family has a small magic crystal mine in the Ublin mining area. When I drank with him before, I said that we were the strongest mercenary group in Huaorez, so this escort business took the initiative to come to the door. ”

"In other words, the task entrusted by the other party this time is to escort the magic crystal transport convoy back to Huaorez?"

"Well, they said that the area around the mining area has not been quiet lately, so they paid a lot of money to hire a B-class mercenary group. ”

Arthur's eyes rolled, "Took the initiative to come to the door, clearly stated the risk of the task, and gave a high reward, the other party calculated that this is a task that we can't refuse, it seems that someone finally can't help it." ”

"You're saying there's something wrong with this mission?" and Joan and Moral are both smart people, and they reacted to Arthur's words.

"There should be no problems with the task itself, but someone will find a way to create problems for us. ”

"Then we won't take this task, and we can't jump in knowing that it's a trap. Moral got up and was about to go out.

Arthur grabbed Moral, "No, you tell the employer that we have taken this task from the Blue Enchantress, but we have to go to the mercenary union to register for a mission." ”

"Do you know that there are tigers in the mountains that favor tigers?" Joan looked at Arthur suspiciously.

Arthur sneered and said, "If we are frightened by this mission, the information will spread throughout the city the next day, and the mercenary group will not be mixed up in Huaores in the future." Also, if we don't give the other person a chance, they won't jump out. ”

......

Eight years later, Arthur stepped into the Orlando Mountains again, and he was impressed.

Eight years ago, he was the youngest mercenary in the mercenary group, and he was taken care of by old mercenaries such as Keynes, Tony, and Angus. Eight years later, he became the leader of the mercenary group, can he take care of every brother below like Captain Keynes? Not to mention that they are still brothers who are completely out of tune.

Joan, ToruΕ„, and the Ten Princesses, who were entering the mountain for the first time, were extremely excited. A wild fox sprang out of the bushes, and Toren immediately chased after it, and a nightingale flew out of the woods, and the Ten Princesses raised her arrow, and the elf Elanne ran over to pick the gorgeous wild flowers in the grass.

These people don't have the slightest sense of vigilance of mercenaries at all, where are they here to take the task, it is clear that they are going into the mountains to hunt and travel, so angry that Arthur sighs again and again, making several old mercenaries in the team completely dumbfounded.

Arthur had to stop at once and set rules for everyone in a meeting with a straight face, assigning duties according to everyone's abilities, and not ordering anyone to leave the team.

With such a team, all the precautions and mercenary code of conduct Arthur had to be taught from scratch one by one. Exhausted by Arthur's three days of marching through the mountains, the Blue Enchantress was almost as good as a mercenary group.

On the seventh day of entering the mountains, the mercenary group officially entered the Ublin mining area.

The Orlando Mountains stretch for nearly 1,000 kilometers, and the mountains are not only densely forested and vegetative, but also contain a large number of rare minerals under the mountains, among which the Ubulin mining area located in the middle of the mountains is the richest in various mineral resources.

Although the Orlando Mountains are rich in minerals, they are extremely difficult to mine and transport. On the one hand, there are many fierce beasts and demonic beasts in the mountain range, and the gathering of miners often attracts attacks from hunting demonic beasts. On the other hand, because the mountain range is located at the junction of humans and beasts, there is no order at all, and the orc army and hunting teams often launch cross-border attacks, and the lucrative mining areas are naturally the main targets of the orc attacks. Even if you can escape the attack of the orcs, you must be careful of the bandits rampant on the Terran side when the minerals are dug up and transported out.

The combination of these factors makes the Ublin mining area a high-risk and high-reward place in the mountains, and not many people actually venture out to mine.

The Joplin family, the employer of the Blue Enchantress, took the risk of organizing miners to mine in the mining area because they accidentally discovered a highly valuable magic crystal mine in the mining area.

Arthur took the mercenary group to the location agreed with the employer in the mining area, and there was already a connector arranged by the Joplin family waiting there, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he couldn't see the specific strength.

The man was a little surprised when he saw Arthur and the mercenaries of the Blue Enchantress, "Why did your mercenary group bring such a few people?"

In the first mission, Arthur only left Morar with five mercenaries to watch the house, and the rest of the people who could be brought out were all brought out, so there were only eighteen people in total, which was indeed a bit shabby for a B-class mercenary group.

In response to the middle-aged man's question, Arthur only replied lightly: "Our mercenary group has signed an agreement with your Joplin family, and we are responsible for escorting your goods safely to the place, as for the number of mercenaries to come, it is up to us to decide, if there is an accident on the way, the mercenary group will also compensate according to the agreement." ”

The middle-aged man didn't have anything to say about it, so he had to say, "You guys wait here and I'll arrange the truck." ”

In the mines, the location of the mine is also an important secret for the owner, and mercenaries will not be allowed to enter the mine. The middle-aged man will load the mined minerals into a truck and transport them directly to the location agreed with the mercenary group, which is generally not too far away from the mine.

It took the middle-aged man half a day to leave and return with four fully loaded carts, each with a chauffeur and the Joplin family's own guards.

Arthur counted all the goods in front of the middle-aged man, and inside were boxes of rough refining magic crystal rough stones, which really reached the level of daily inlay of magic arrays and equipment, and still needed to be further polished and refined.

But even these four truckloads of crude magic crystals are worth at least 20,000 gold coins when they are shipped out, and the Joplin family pays 2,000 gold coins at 10% of the escort fee, which is a very reasonable price.

Arthur and the middle-aged man signed the handover order, and after each of them kept a copy, the Blue Enchantress mercenary group escorted the four wagons on the way back.

No one knows what awaits Arthur and the newly formed Blue Enchantress mercenary group?
