Chapter 131 One Change
Becoming an eighth-level mercenary is faster than Pian imagined, after all, the speed of teaming up with Caroline is faster than one person, Caroline didn't hold back Pian, the two cooperated very tacitly, and three months passed, the two became eighth-level mercenaries with an incredible cumulative speed of points, and when the two of them entered the eighth-level mercenary activity area again, the eighth-level mercenaries were a little dumbfounded, I damn it! Aren't these the two women who stirred up trouble here a few months ago!
The man in white stood there, looking at Lian and Caroline, frowning slightly, and then turned to leave, he really didn't want to see these two women again.
"Perhaps, does he hate me?" asked Caroline in a low voice, her eyes following the man's back with a worried look, "Perhaps, he seems to hate all women." β
"Hate all women, then I can't get close to him!" Caroline patted her on the shoulder with some sadness and disappointment, "just try to chase it, he will open up even if he is a stubborn stone." β
Caroline smiled sweetly, nodded, and couldn't help but exhale, the eighth-level mercenary, she is only one step away from the ninth-level mercenary, but her strength has only progressed to the sixth level, and it will take a long time to break through the high-level mercenary, and she needs to work harder!
Lian Yiyi wanted to break through to the advanced level as soon as possible, but she didn't know how amazing the improvement speed of her strength level was, within a year she had already jumped to the sixth level of the advanced level, which was simply impossible for others!
Mercy came to the commission board of the eighth-level mercenary, compared to the commission layout below the eighth-level mercenary, there are a lot fewer commissions on it, but the content and remuneration of each commission are full of weight, and it took a day to observe, the eighth-level mercenaries are all in teams to receive commissions, and no one has ever accepted the commission alone. This is directly related to the difficulty of the commission, and many of the commissions of the eighth-level mercenaries are dangerous.
She couldn't help but be glad that she was teamed up with Caroline, otherwise she would not have been willing to team up with her when she came here alone, and she also felt that it was a little tricky to complete the eighth-level task alone.
Ren looked carefully in front of the commission board, and roughly swept all the commissions, during this period, there were very few mercenaries who came to receive the commission, and the completion cycle of the commission was very long, and it took a lot of energy.
"Pity!" Caroline ran over, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement, "I found out his name!
Smile and nodded, Caroline looked like a little woman immersed in the emotional world, "Zhilu said that his name is progress, but that person is not easy to approach, have you figured out a way?"
Caroline chuckled, "Of course! Reynaud is a well-known potion master here, and any mercenary who wants to make a commission will go to him to get a potion before leaving. β
It suddenly dawned on her, she didn't quite understand how such a weak man could gain a foothold in the eighth-level mercenary area, it turned out that it was by virtue of the potion, such a selfless risk also created his current status, the eighth-level mercenaries were really happy and convinced of him, Renault was completely different from Vannie, and he grasped the people's hearts very steadily.
"We will also go to him to get the potion before we take the commission, and I will be able to talk to him!" Caroline said excitedly, and nodded pitifully, she didn't know much about the profession of pharmacist, compared with the priest's strong healing endurance, the pharmacist is more focused on attribute improvement, using potions to strengthen the various abilities of humans, although there is a time limit, but humans are also happy to be strong in a short period of time.
The profession of pharmacist is actually very popular with the strong, who pursue a higher realm and higher strength, and the potion has become a must for them before they can reach it. Almost the battle between the strong will have the blessing of the potion, although there are some people who disdain, saying that the potion is actually a means of cheating, but more people don't think so, if you want to become stronger, what means can't you use? As long as you achieve the goal, it is a success.
For a long time, Ren has never used potions in any battle, except for some healing potions for skin injuries, those potions that can enhance attributes have not been touched at all, how much impact will Renault's potions have, Ren is also very curious, and more importantly, some potions can even assist in the promotion of strength, which is something that priests can't do.
If mercy can become a pharmacist, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, but a person's energy is limited after all, even if mercy is very talented, but not everything can be proficient, no one is perfect, and the enchanter industry is already very draining, if you add another pharmacist, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses, mercy has never been greedy, maybe this makes her go further than others.
Caroline was very enthusiastic about the first conversation with Renault, hoping to show him the best side of herself, but the reality was cruel, Caroline had no chance to say what she had prepared, Renault pointed to the potion, "Two bottles of spiritual power potion, take it and leave quickly." β
Mercy took the potion, the liquid in it showed a faint blue, as the name suggests, the spiritual power potion will increase the mental power in a short period of time, but the increase is the amount of spiritual power or the durability, this can only be known after drinking it.
"Renault, I'm ......" Caroline wanted to say something, Renault impatiently gave the eviction order, Caroline bit her lip, "Okay, the first meeting was a little unpleasant, but now it's different, my name is Caroline, I hope you can remember the name." β
Renault frowned, still impatient, sighed pitifully, took Caroline's hand and left, Renault frowned and watched the two leave, he was already tolerant of giving them potions, if necessary, he didn't want to see them at all!
"Hey, I seem to have messed things up. Caroline wanted to cry without tears, "Pity, what should I do!"
She smiled dryly, she didn't know about this kind of thing, after all, she didn't have any experience to share, "Well, it's not too bad, after all, he didn't see you, and he was willing to give us the potion, this should be considered a chance." β
"Really!" Caroline felt like she was relapsing, nodding her head and looking away, "It should be true." β
"That's great!As long as I have the opportunity!I'm not afraid of rejection!" Caroline smiled happily, took Pien's hand and clenched it, "Pity, it's good to have you to support me, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have given up long ago!"
With a pity, she looked back at Renault's closed door, and if Caroline was just wishful thinking at the end of the day, this feeling would be too pitiful.
Ren took the first eighth-level mercenary commission, the content was very simple, only a few lines of words, and collected thirty copies of tequive. To the surprise of Pian, the client of this character turned out to be in the imperial capital. Agave is an uncommon plant, due to the reminder of slender and small spikes around the body, it is called agave grass, the growth of agave is very regional, only extremely moist soil can survive, commonly found at the water's edge, the survival rate of agave is not high, the rhizome of this plant is particularly fragile, a slight change can affect the survival rate of agave grass, even if a relatively large wind blows, tequila may also die.
"Tequive, I've never heard of it. Caroline couldn't help frowning when she saw the content, all the commissions were taken by Mercy, Caroline was meaningless, and it seemed that there was no problem for Mercy to find this kind of plant-based content.
"It's not a common plant, let's go, this time the destination is in the imperial capital. β
Caroline's expression sank, as if she heard that the imperial capital was a little disgusted, and then nodded and sat in the carriage, and drove the carriage all the way to the imperial capital, agave is a poisonous plant, what do you want so many poisonous plants to do?
It took a few days for the two of them to come to the imperial capital, and it has been more than half a year since they came to the imperial capital again, and the prosperity of the imperial capital has not changed.
"Who?"
"Hello, we are the mercenaries who took the commission this time. β
The door was pushed open, and a servant said to mercy, "Come in." Pian nodded, and took Caroline into the house, this should be a family with a lot of capital, the scale of the house is very large, and the furniture and layout inside are also quite exquisite, but such a family is in the imperial capital, at most it can only be regarded as second-rate, and the first-class is absolutely impossible to squeeze into.
"You're here. An old man with gold-rimmed eyes came out, his hair was a little gray, and a pair of eyes were shining behind the lenses, and he looked at Lian and Caroline, "I didn't expect the mercenary to come this time so young." β
"We will try our best to satisfy you with your entrustment. The old man hooked the corners of his lips, "If you can really do this, it's fine, thirty copies of tequila are not easy to collect, how much can you collect, and I won't reduce the reward." β
Reap nodded, this time the employer was very talkative. Caroline asked, "Where are we going to collect agave? β
The old man lifted his eyes with gold silk, "This is nature, in the field training area in the hands of the Holy See, there is a piece of agave that has appeared, you can go there to find it, if you can't find any of them, my reward will be zero." β
"How are we going to get in?"
"I've bought two places, this is the pass, bring this and you're in. The old man handed the two of them two passes, the field training area under the control of the Holy See is not something you can enter if you want to, naturally you have to pay the price of money, and the price is not low.
"Zhilu Dao, is there a time limit for entrustment?" β
Pien nodded, and said goodbye. Leaving the client's house, the two of them can go to the field training area, but fortunately, Caroline is wearing male clothes, but her charming face still attracts a lot of attention.
The two came to the training area in the field, there were a lot of people in front of them, Caroline's appearance suddenly caused a little sensation, Caroline's charm was outstanding, and after a while, a man went up and said that he could take the two together, but he was rejected by Pity. All the men who came to invite were closed, everyone was a little uncomfortable, what did the man do Caroline herself knew very well, looking at the men's eyes Caroline was disgusted, and she suppressed her anger and did not attack, and the training area was so big that it would not necessarily be encountered.
After handing over the pass, everyone entered the teleportation array in the training area one after another, and after a burst of light, Ren and Caroline had already come to the training area, and Ren looked at the soil around her, "Let's go this way." β
Caroline nodded, and after the two of them had not taken a few steps, a man suddenly blocked the two, "What do the two young ladies want, I may be able to help." The man smiled, his eyes looked at Caroline vigorously, and he frowned, this man had invited them once before, but she had refused, but now he was glued again.
"What we want will be obtained by ourselves, and we don't need your help. The man grinned, "This young lady, I haven't had a holiday with you, why do you have to talk so impulsively, I also mean well, are you right? β
"Stay away from me!" Caroline roared uncontrollably, and pushed the man back, the man frowned, "What does this mean? I was kind enough to help you, and you still did it to me?"
"As I said, I don't need your help, don't be wishful thinking here. The man was stunned for a moment, and then snorted, "Little girl, I'm not courteous to you." β
"Get out of here!" Caroline roared unceremoniously, and the man smiled awkwardly, "Beauty, I have such a good heart, just what can she help you with a little girl, and I can still protect your safety and ......"
"Get out! or I'm not kind to you!" Caroline's book of summoning glowed faintly, and the man understood that this was not a master to be messed with, and spat on the ground, "Phew! I really think I'm a pure, not all of them are men's goods!"
Pity's black eyes sank, her fists clenched fiercely, and Caroline grabbed Pity's hand, "It's not worth it at all for that kind of beast, it's too cheap." β
Pity glanced back at her, Caroline smiled helplessly, "I've seen such things outside, and I've heard how ugly things are, so I don't care what these men think of me." β
Smile pitifully, "Only with a dirty gaze can you have a dirty understanding, but your face can tell the truth from the fake for you." β
Caroline smiled helplessly, "Yes, only when you can distinguish the true from the false can you know how disappointing this world is." β
She moved her lips and didn't say anything, Caroline had experienced much more than that, otherwise she wouldn't have said so. "Okay, let's go, so as not to run into a man who doesn't have long eyes. β
The two of them were able to set off, and the training area was vast and they would not be able to meet anyone else for a while, and under the careful observation of the mercy, the two quickly found the water source, and searched carefully in the moist soil, and indeed found a few agave plants. Because the agave is highly poisonous, mercy prepared gloves in advance, and the preservation of the agave also requires a certain amount of effort, fortunately, mercy has been prepared, the two of them carefully put the tequila into a specific test tube, and after putting it away, Caroline couldn't help but sweat profusely, "God, this is only five baht, and it is already so careful, thirty plants just think about it I feel a headache." β
Lian put away the five test tubes and checked the surrounding area again, "If you go further, you may still be able to find it, agave is poisonous, once the juice gets on the skin, it will fester, so be very careful." β
Caroline spat out the stone, "The employer didn't say anything, it's good that you're here, otherwise my hands will rot sooner or later." β
Pity smiled, looked at the fat fish swimming in the clear water, and became interested, "I'm a little hungry, what about you?"
Caroline immediately knew what she was going to do, and immediately laughed, "Coincidentally, I'm hungry too, why don't you just have a good meal here?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and soon after the delicious taste came, which made people salivate, and the fat girl's big fish was put on the fire without adding any seasoning, and the fragrance was already wafting, and the two laughed and tasted the fish feast, but they didn't know that this burst of aroma attracted a few people to this side.
"Suck ββ!" sniffed into the air fiercely, "What a fragrant smell!" Several people were men and women, looking like they were about thirty, and a few people who were attracted by the aroma couldn't help but approach, and saw them with pity, and a few people smiled, "I'm sorry, this smell is really fragrant." β
The three men and two women greeted each other in a friendly manner, but they just nodded and didn't say anything, Caroline didn't even turn her head back, the five of them seemed to be a little tired when they walked here, and they began to be hungry when they were hooked by this aroma.
"I said, why don't we catch fish and eat it too?" one of the women suggested, and several of the men all looked manly, "It's better not to, it's not like we don't have anything to eat, and we have to catch fish and roast it, which is very troublesome." β
"Can the two of them eat so many fish?" the other woman looked over, and there were still three or four lying at the feet of Pien and Caroline, which was indeed a lot more than the two young women. "It's a waste if they can't finish eating, why don't we come over and roast it?"
Everyone else is looking at each other, what kind of joke, how can they open their mouths? How can there be any reason to ask others for something to eat?
"If you want to eat, you have to go yourself. A man spoke, and the proposed woman snorted, stood up and patted her buttocks, "I'll go, I'll go!" The woman stood up and walked over, and the others blushed a little, this behavior was really embarrassing!
"Hey, I'm sorry. The woman came over and looked at her, "Is there something wrong?"
"I'm sorry, we don't have enough food...... I see a few fish on your side, if you don't eat them, can you...... Give us a few, of course, if you want me to buy them with money!"
Ren looked at a few people not far away, Caroline had been eating her grilled fish with her back to her back, and Ren reached out and threw the three fish over, "Take it." β
The woman hurriedly brought the three fishes over, "Thank you, thank you, how much do these three cost?"
"No, I don't. The woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Thank you, my name is Sara, and it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"You're welcome. Seeing that she looked cold, Sara didn't say anything more, and turned to leave with the fish, her eyes fell on Caroline's back, "What's wrong with that companion of yours, all the time with his back." β
"It's nothing, it's just a habit. Sara nodded and left with the fish in her mouth, returning to her companion and proudly slamming the fish to the ground, "What's the matter, isn't this coming?"
"Sarah, you're really cheeky enough, I can get you here! It's not easy!" The companions began to tease her, but they were also busy with the grilled fish, and soon the aroma came, and several people were satisfied with the delicious grilled fish, "Those two girls are really generous, and gave you three fish." A boy smiled and said, Sara pouted, "It's a little generous, but people look too proud." β
"The blonde one?"
"Yes, I took the initiative to say my name just now, and she didn't even introduce herself. Sara took a bite of the fish, "That companion of hers is weird enough, all the time with his back to his body, is he afraid of being seen in the face?"
"Yes, she has always had her back to us, could it be that she is a particularly ugly woman?"
"Maybe it's a peerless beauty. β
"Come on, the peerless beauty still has to hide her face behind someone else's back?"
The three men laughed, but Sara's eyes kept looking at Ren and Caroline, and Ren realized Sarah's focused gaze here, which made her a little unhappy, this woman's eyes were too explicit, almost voyeuristic, when would she see it?
"Gone Caroline. Caroline nodded, and the two of them simply packed up the campfire and prepared to leave, Sara saw the two leaving, and quickly stood up and walked over, "Hey, you two please wait!"
Ren frowned slightly, why is this woman endless?"Something?" Ren raised her eyebrows lightly, Sara saw that Ren was still in this cold posture, and felt a little uncomfortable, in her opinion, she was very friendly, and she had to be very friendly here.
Sara felt very repulsed by pity, and looked like she wanted to leave, and Sara's heart came up, "Those three fish helped us just now, and we have to return the salute." β
"No need. Mercy refused, but Sara stepped forward in front of Mercy again, and Mercy couldn't help but be angry, "What do you mean?"
Sara smiled, "I just want to repay your appreciation, you two women are not very safe in this area, how about you move with us?" β
"There really isn't any. Ren spoke again, Sara tried to block her, and Ren couldn't help but whisper, "Get out of the way!"
Sara was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but she retreated a little after seeing Pity's cold eyes, and took a step back with a dry laugh, "Okay, when I didn't say it." β
Ren led Caroline past her, Sara snorted, and a few of the other companions came over, "What's the matter, what did you say to them?" β
"I just invited them to come along, but they refused very unkindly. Sara shrugged, "My kindness is to be a donkey's liver and lungs." β
"We can't say that, after all, we don't know them, and in their eyes we are strangers. β
Sara pouted, "I'm just talking, where will I really invite them, and seeing them join in will also hold us back." β
"Alright, you'd better say less with this mouth. The man patted Sara on the shoulder, "Let's get up and look for the tequive, or else it will be in vain to come in this time." β
"That's right, that's right, let's get up and search for tequive. Several people split up and began to search, searching along the damp dirt on the riverbank, and soon someone found the traces, "There seem to be traces of someone searching here! Look here!"
There were a few small pits in the wet soil that were not obvious at all, and Sara looked at them with great certainty, "Someone took the tequila before us!"
"It's a shame to be the first to get there. The three men sighed, "Look at this little pit, there are five baht here, and it's quite a lot." β
"It's a shame we're late. The other woman sighed helplessly, and Sara thought for a moment, "Is it possible......?" The people who can't pick the tequila are those two women!"
Everyone else was stunned, "Sarah, thisβthis is unlikely......"
"Yes, where do ordinary people know about tequive, and tequila is still poisonous, who will touch it if they don't have anything to do!"
"What do those two girls want to do with this kind of thing? Could it be that they are pharmacists like us?"
Everyone else thought it was impossible, but Sara always felt that something was wrong, "No, the tequila must have been taken by them, and that companion of hers has always refused to show his face, maybe the juice of the tequila splashed on her face!"
"But Sarah, even if they take it, it doesn't matter to us, after all, people are one step ahead of us, and there is no way to do it. β
"What should we do if all the tequila in this area is taken away from them! Wouldn't it be better to walk around here and go back?" Sala let out a low roar, and the others looked at each other, it was true that they couldn't go back empty-handed, but, but it couldn't be helped!
"Let's follow, if it weren't for them, we'd go on with our own business, if it's them, we need to talk about it, tequila can't be monopolized by them!"
