Chapter 48: Pre-Battle Mobilization Meeting

When the sky was dark, Payne still finished his sword training first, then woke Roy up and left the mercenary camp together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe's going to Meg's town.

Of course, with his current net worth, he can't afford to buy weapons such as muskets, but he can still afford a telescope, remembering the plot last night, if there is a telescope, he believes it will be much more convenient, at least he won't even be able to see the other party's appearance clearly.

There was no danger along the way, and when Payne returned to the town, he found it with emotion...... Everything in the town has not changed, it is exactly the same as I remembered.

That's good, Payne thought, at least because the town wasn't visited by demons. ――Isn't that good enough?

It was lunchtime, and the town's restaurants were too expensive for ordinary people like him to patronize at will, only merchants, bounty hunters, and noble lords were entitled to dine in the restaurants. However, as civilians, they also have a place to rub hard, and it is affordable enough.

At the end of the market, there is an open-air stall, and the smell of meat wafting through it makes Payne swallow a few gulps every time he passes by, and this time is no exception.

"Roy, tell me the truth, how much is your meal?" asked Payne with a serious face.

"As you can see, I don't eat much. Roy replied earnestly.

In Payne's impression, Roy really didn't eat much, and the amount of food was about the same as his own. But... He had never seen a look of relief on Roy's face.

Well, since they are all brothers, they should be generous when they say that they have a treat, and Payne made up his mind, "Then let's eat until we are ready." ”

"Boss, bring us two plates of meat. "Payne bites the word 'meat'.

Soon after the two of them sat down, two plates of steaming cooked meat were quickly served, and the sheer aroma of the meat had made Payne forget what it meant to be reserved, and he started eating it directly.

The taste of the meat is simple and fluffy, almost melt-in-the-mouth, even if there are no ingredients, only the purest original taste, which also makes the two of them enjoy a delicious meal. The two of them hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

When a dozen or so empty plates were piled up on the wooden table, Payne already regretted his previous rhetoric. He felt stretched out by the time he ate the third plate, and then he quietly watched Roy eat alone, until he slapped his belly with satisfaction after eight plates, revealing his trademark smile.

"Boss checkout!" Payne didn't ask Roy for his opinion, and shouted directly to pay, he was afraid that if this kid was just halftime, if that was the case, it would be difficult to end the game.

There are a total of thirteen silver coins, and two people eat the food of a poor family for more than a month in one meal, which is really luxurious.

Of course, Payne also packed two servings, he thought, it's better to be kind, take it back to Hawke and open meat for them, not only to eat meat himself, but also to let his brothers drink soup.

After eating, Payne and the others walked towards the dwarven shop, this time he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and directly took out twenty silver coins to buy it, and then turned around and left.

The bearded dwarf watched the two leave the shop, his face stunned, he remembered where he had seen one of them before.

"Payne, why are you buying this?" Roy thought he was wasting silver coins by buying this thing, far less than meat.

"It allows me to see further," Payne saw the idiotic expression on the other side's face, and immediately dispelled the idea of continuing to explain, "Anyway, you'll understand later." ”

Back at the boot camp, when the two large pork legs were placed in front of Hawke and the others, Payne had the illusion that the tent would soon be flooded with saliva, so he quickly walked out of the tent and headed towards the training ground, continuing to connect with melee combat skills.

In order to quickly improve his strength, Payne practiced until late at night before going back to sleep.

Before, it was because he couldn't see anything clearly at night, but now it's different, and he knows that the more this happens, the more he should train harder. Only by adapting to the environment as early as possible can we make up for the shortcomings of the day after tomorrow.

You know, demons don't come out against the sun, and the night is their main battlefield.

Three days later, the recruits gathered again, because their task had been determined, and it was not difficult to see from the expressions of these men that he was holding back a lot of energy, and the light in his eyes showed that it was excitement and excitement.

Payne is no exception, he is also a rookie who has not experienced the battlefield.

Captain George coughed lightly, then said in the expectant gaze of everyone, "You will be on your first mission in two days, and until then, I hope you will ......." ”

It turned out to be a pre-mission mobilization meeting, Payne thought. He was tired of the captain's chatter, so he naturally ignored some unimportant words, and it was not until Captain George got to the point that he became energetic.

"Three gold coins!" someone shouted in surprise.

"That's right, but you'll only have three silver coins in your hands, but I'm sure you'll be paid at least ten silver coins for each mission after this assessment is completed. The captain glanced at the crowd and continued, "The life of a mercenary will not make you rich overnight, but this is the best place for you to lay a solid foundation, do your best... Lads. ”

At the end of the mobilization meeting, Captain George left only five men, and without a word of comfort, he let the others withdraw from the battle tent.

Payne was naturally retained, along with Padgett and Fauclin in the shield group, as well as Quentin and Pierce, who had good overall strength.

Of course, the captain knew that Hawk was not bad, but he couldn't compare to Quentin and Pierce, and if it wasn't for the kid who correctly chose Payne's first team before, he wouldn't have been able to finish in the top three in both assessments. George believes he can't be wrong.

As for Roy, Captain George was always skeptical of him.

Hawke, Roy, and the others returned to the boot camp, and their small team began to speculate.

"What did the instructor do with Penn and what they were doing? Could it be mission-related?" Johnny asked, actually trying to ask why he didn't leave Hawke with him.

"Who knows?" said Hawke, his expression a little unnatural, "I'll find out when the boss comes back." ”
