In the spacious, palatial corridor, Major Bailey Kurtik was followed by a blonde man in a white coat with a gold eagle insignia on his shoulders and chest, who looked to be about fifty years old, Major General Vissad Bradley.
"How's the situation in the south?" asked the general, holding his hands behind his back, as he walked.
"Before the winter, on March 20, an elite demon appeared in Iron Rhino Town, and none of the thirteen bounty hunters were spared, and finally the Holy See sent an oracle to quell the matter. ”
"On the 24th of the same month, the land route from Fort Kursturt to the Golden Harbor appeared with minions suspected of being undead, who attacked the coolies returning to Megtown and Fort Kursted from the Golden Harbor, so the Holy Light's Army of the Holy See blocked all passages and did not re-seal them until this escort mission. ”
"Well, since the Holy See has intervened, it's not for us to worry about," the general nodded, "By the way, I heard that your mission didn't go well?"
"Yes, General," Bailey said, "we were met by the Floggers on our way. ”
"Oh?" the Major General said with an interested expression, "As far as I know, there shouldn't be anyone in your team who can deal with elite demons, right?"
"That's true," Bailey replied, "actually ......." ”
"Come to my room," interrupted Bailey, the major general, and pushed the door into a rather luxurious room, "sit down, and I don't have to be restrained." ”
"Yes, General. Bailey sat on the leather sofa, but from the sitting position, he still couldn't let go.
"If I'm not mistaken, you've been a major officer for five years, haven't you?" the general took out two crystal glasses from the table and poured a brown bottle of liquor into them.
"Five years, three months and seven days, General. Bailey said.
"That's right, I brought it up with one hand," the general smiled and handed one of the wine glasses to the other party, and took a sip of his own, "Your talent is not comparable to that of Harding and Acrylic, the rank of colonel is already their end, and you are different, you will have the possibility of becoming a general." ”
The general looked at Bailey, "I'm going to recommend you to the Demon Hunters, are you ready?"
"Thanks to the General," Bailey looked down at the glass in his hand, "it was someone else who killed the elite demon this time. ”
"Hehe," the general smiled meaningfully, "you mean Payne who killed the elite of the mercenary group?"
"Yes...... , but it was Ivan's kid who started the incident first, and if it had been me at the time, I think I would have killed that kid too. Bailey was stunned in his heart, escorting the team to a city, he went straight to the headquarters, and thought that he was the first to meet the general, how did the other party know this news?
"Ivan is nothing more than an insignificant character," the general poured himself a full drink, "and as long as Payne is willing to give you this credit, the command will no longer hold him accountable for shooting his comrades during the mission, and he will receive an extra amount of gold." And you, I will arrange for you to participate in the battle of divine punishment in the future, and if it goes well, all five of you will become awakened,......。 ”
The Awoken!
Bailey couldn't help but shudder when he heard the word, of course he knew what it would mean, possessing powerful magical powers, becoming an existence on a par with demon hunters, this was his dream wish that he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
He was no less powerful than Harding, and he could have become a lieutenant colonel in the promotion examination two years ago, but when he learned that he would be a general, he obeyed General Wissad's orders and gave up that spot, which he continues to this day.
But will Payne give himself that chance? he thought.
General Vissad seemed to see Bailey's doubts, and motioned to the other party to calm down and said, "I don't think you need to worry too much about this, although Payne is also an unawakened person, he is still too young, he still has at least ten years to obtain this qualification, I think, in front of the gold coin, he should agree." ”
"Payne is also an unawakened?" Bailey was stunned.
"That's right, the fact that he can control the dragon scale equipment is the best proof of this," the general said with a sip of wine and a calculated plan, "Although I don't know how he came into contact with the wizard, only a powerful wizard can do it if he wants to activate the special magic of the dragon scale equipment." So I think it's not a letter of recommendation that Payne lacks right now, it's gold, and he needs it to fill his shortfall,......。 ”
At the hotel, Payne was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Please come in," Payne rubbed his eyes, his heart was damned, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Bailey pushed the door open and walked in, his expression looking very natural, and he tossed a small bag from his fanny pack to Payne who was sitting in a chair, "Here, this is your share." ”
Payne took the bag, and the moment he opened the bag, his eyes suddenly released a bright light, and there was a gold coin and dozens of silver coins inside.
I'm rubbing, here's the money!!
"Is this?" asked Payne knowingly.
"It's the spoils of the battlefield, and given your title, you can only get so much," Bailey explained, "Plus, the gold is what Lieutenant Colonel Harding meant, and he thinks it's what you deserve." With that, he tossed a small bag over.
"Huh?" Penn opened the bag and looked.
There were five gold coins lying inside, and his eyes were brighter now. But this money comes from a little water, huh?
But does he care? Of course, the more the merrier!
"What's so embarrassing?" said Payne, smiling simply, quietly stuffing both small bags into his fanny pack.
"Don't be too happy," Bailey sighed, "Your command already knows about the shooting of Ivan, and the blatant killing of the mercenary group during the mission means ......." ”
Payne believes that there will be no heavy punishment for this matter, otherwise there would be no need for the other party to give him gold coins. But it is not difficult to hear from the other party's tone that this matter is probably not so easy to be good.
He heard that none of the mercenary commanders were good at stubble, the strength of the major was comparable to that of the lieutenant colonel of the mercenary regiment, and the major was here to catch a lot of money, if he really wanted to be unfavorable to him, he really didn't have the confidence to retreat from here.
"What do they want?" Payne immediately became vigilant, he had prepared for the worst.
"You have two choices," Bailey paused, "one is to make up for the credit, and you will also receive a sum of gold coins, on the condition that you voluntarily give up the credit for killing the elite demon." The second is to leave here with the tokens of the whipper, and become a wanted target, and will be hunted down by the mercenary group and even the mercenary headquarters. ”
"If I choose the latter, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of this room, right?" Payne sneered, "Then I'll choose the former, by the way, a gold coin? How many gold coins." ”
Bailey was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, so that none of the persuasion words he prepared were useless, but he didn't think that Payne was greedy for the twenty gold coins to agree, he thought that the other party was very outstanding in judging the situation, and he once thought that this kid's mind was too mature, and it was completely inconsistent with the mentality of a twenty-year-old.
Payne doesn't care what you think in your heart, what honor is not honorable, military rank is not rank, in his eyes it is all false, only gold coins are real, and it is what he needs most at the moment.
