Chapter 8: The First Mission

"Get up and get to work!"

"It's still early, let me sleep a little longer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Ace should get up, the shopkeeper has taken the house. ā€

"Damn! Won't the six hundred Qiongbei store money allow us to sleep a little longer?"

"Don't complain, you haven't settled your breakfast yet?"

"Slacker, you're pretty positive today. ā€

"How many times have you said it, you will call me the head of the regiment in the future, the head of the regiment!"

Drawing on yesterday's experience, the three of them chatted and farted all the way to the Mercenary Guild obediently.

Looking at the task full of walls, the three of them were dumbfounded. There is a small village in the east of Linfeng Harbor, in which there is an old woman who lost a little flower cat, and found it back to reward one hundred Qiongbei, and the three of them shook their heads when they looked at the dust covered with it; There is a rich man in the western part of Linfeng Harbor who wants to hire someone to accompany his daughter for a day, and he has three hundred Qiongbei for a day, but he wants the old man to be a nanny? In hesitation, this task was taken away by a child; Escorting the merchant ship back and forth, according to the calculation of one thousand Qiongbei per day, thinking about the horror on the sea and then looking at his own strength, alas, look for it again.

"Escort the Fox caravan to Tucker City, a total of three days of paid interviews, on a first-come, first-served basis!" Rozzie read softly, "I think we can try our luck." ā€

"Fu, Si, caravan, why does the name sound familiar!"

"What's the matter, that's it, just make money. ā€

According to the guidance on the notice, the three of them came to a hotel not far from the pier, and many people had already come to the hall on the first floor, everyone sat in twos and threes, and then one person stood on the left and right of the staircase to wave away the people who wanted to go upstairs.

"I'll just say that the name sounds familiar, isn't that the merchant ship owner who brought us?"

"The boss will guard the stairs? Ace, it looks like we've been fooled. ā€

"Again, it's up to him, as long as Qiongbei makes money! I'll go and negotiate with them. ā€

Then I saw that I was looking for a book and came back, and I didn't have a seat to sit on, so I just found a corner and stood until noon.

"I'm sorry to have you wait until now!" Caeder clapped his hands in the middle of the hall, "Those who have been able to stay until now are people with perseverance, and the boss told me to prepare some food for you, after all, you have enough to participate in the next assessment." ā€

With his applause, his own servants brought the food, a few simple dishes: a carrot roast beef, shallots tossed with tofu, stir-fried spinach with pork liver, accompanied by a variety of seafood and fruit platters, and then a large bowl of chestnut porridge per person.

"Wow, what a hearty lunch!" Mishu couldn't wait to move his chopsticks, "Even if we don't choose, it's not worth waiting so long for such a lunch." ā€

Ace noticed that Mangya was smiling very strangely, and hurriedly reminded him: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Rozzie put down the bowl and followed Ace's gaze.

The mercenaries lived a life of licking blood with knives, and of course Ace was not the only one who discovered this, and then this part of the people became cautious.

If only a small percentage of people have found anomalies in mangaya, then it is very simple to find anomalies in this small group of people. A mercenary who was angry ate his beef and pork liver, and when he saw that the pork liver of the guy next to him had not been touched, he was polite and served it directly.

With a sudden scream of "ah", people screamed one after another, and the first person had already fallen.

For this situation, everyone here is indifferent, who can blame them for not being careful? And their companions, hehe, there is a person who is poisoned, which means that his companions do not know about this trap, and they naturally fell for it.

Seeing that the one that should be poured has been poured, Mangya pouted and said, "Count you smart, I'll go and invite our eldest lady, you can quickly eat well and set off." ā€

After Mangya went upstairs, Caeder commanded a few servants to take the fallen people away, and then explained: "What we need is a partner who doesn't want to harm anyone, so the poison used this time may be known to everyone, it's just a temporary coma, but next time it may be from the enemy, so I hope you don't let your guard down! ā€

"Well, I didn't eat anything, and I was so hungry. ā€

Luo Qi looked at his "miserable appearance" and snickered and said: "According to my observation, the poisonous one should be the fried spinach with pork liver, and the others are probably fine, if you are not afraid, you can eat it." ā€

"The people are gone, we don't have time to wait for you!" Ace drank the chestnut porridge in one gulp, "It's still fast and hungry." ā€

Luo Qi followed Ace after drinking the porridge, and when he saw that they really didn't wait for him, he hurriedly put down the bowl and carried some seafood in his arms, and chased after him while nibbling on a fruit in one hand.

"Hey, how long are you going to play us like monkeys?"

"That's it, what about the caravan, we mercenaries aren't vegetarians!!"

..................

............

"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Caeder raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "If you are not satisfied, I have prepared some small gifts for you here, you can choose to take them and leave! ā€

As soon as Caed's words were finished, some people who were already planning to give up immediately put down the "gifts" in their hands and joined the contract robbery team.

Cade naturally noticed them, and a mysterious smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and he clapped his hands at everyone and said, "Okay, since you have obtained the contract, is it time to fulfill your obligations? To be honest, in fact, our caravan has already set off in the morning, according to the regulations of the contract, if you can catch up before sunset, then you will be paid today, as for those who do not catch up, it will be embarrassing, the contract will be automatically invalidated! So, good luck to everyone." ā€

After saying that, Caede stopped looking at everyone and walked forward on his own. Everyone chuckled, it was not in vain to spend a morning, since it was a caravan that naturally carried a large number of baggage, but how could it be compared with the lightly armed mercenaries who set off half a day earlier.

Having identified the direction of Tucker City, the mercenaries scrambled to the caravan. Mishu also wanted to run, but was also stopped by Ace: "Don't worry, it's too late! ā€

"It doesn't matter if you have physical strength or anything! Don't look at me like this, I've been a crew member and walked through the south and north, and it's not too late to rest slowly when I catch up with the caravan and get the money. ā€

"You're embarrassed to say that it's because of you that we have to keep our strength. ā€

"What do you mean?"

Luo Qi smiled: "What, what do you see?"

"It's a little bit of an eyebrow, but it's not sure yet," Ace said after a moment's thought, "Anyway, let's take it one step at a time." ā€

.................................................................................................................. I...... Be...... Chinese...... Beautiful...... Target...... Divide...... Cut...... Line.....................................................................................................................

"Cut, I still want to make a lot of money with such a little ability. ā€

Looking at the person who fell down on the side of the road due to physical exhaustion, Mishu scoffed at this, but Luo Qi noticed a little abnormality and threw an inquiring look at Ace.

Ace nodded but didn't say anything, and as he continued to move forward, more and more people fell on the side of the road, and even looking for books felt abnormal.

"What the hell is going on?

Ace thought for a while, and said coldly: "I said head of the group, how did you practice the cheats you picked up?"

"Then I can feel the elemental presence now, why are you asking this all of a sudden? I warn you, I can protect you, but don't beat me up for the idea of cheats, or don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ā€

Sure enough, it is the same everywhere, whether it is this world or that world, as long as people encounter things related to their own vital interests, they will unconsciously become selfish.

"Don't be careful, I'll just ask casually!" Ace suddenly looked nervous, "Oops, Captain, I missed something!"

Mishu also became nervous: "What's the matter?"

"I don't know if it's important or not, I just know that if we don't run, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the caravan before sunset. ā€

"What!! doesn't it matter? Didn't you say the time was too late? Looks like I trust you too much, stinky boy. ā€

Looking at the book that was hurriedly running away, Luo Qi glanced at Ace and the two of them smiled tacitly.

After a while, the shadow of the caravan appeared in front of him, and Ace and Rozzie also stopped.

"Commander, the caravan is right in front of you, now is not the time to rest!"

Mishu, who was lying on the ground in pain, gritted his teeth and scolded: "The stinky boy has time to talk about the wind and cold, so don't you hurry up and help me." ā€

Ace pretended to find out that he was looking for a book, and quickly helped him up and asked with concern: "Commander, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know! It's just that the body is running and running is wrong. ā€

Luo Qi snickered: "You must have used elemental power." ā€

"If we don't use elemental power, where do I get the staying power, it's all Ace! If we run at the beginning, how can we not catch up? Otherwise, I won't use the elemental power that I am not skilled in to cause physical problems. - How do you know I used elemental power?"

Luo Qi smiled and looked at Ace embarrassedly, Ace sighed in his heart: "Luo Qi is still too young! ā€

"Commander, do you want us to help you? ā€

"Yes, of course, besides, without me as the leader, would they hire you?"

At this time, the benefits of retaining physical strength before were reflected, and holding the book did not affect the speed of the two of them at all, and then after a short period of time, the book returned to normal, and then caught up with some people who had slowed down, and a total of ten people rushed to the caravan.

And the caravan stopped on its way, as if to meet them. When I got closer, I found that there were only ten carriages loaded by this caravan, and five carriages were supposed to sit on people, but they used good war horses, and then the one at the end was also a war horse, but the car was accompanied by a pure white horse, although I don't know what breed it is, but it looks like a good horse, and I don't know where they found it from Linfeng Harbor.

As everyone arrived, the curtains of the car opened a slit and then lowered again, and Ace could feel that this gaze was cast for himself.
