Chapter 81: Badge of the Wolf

Bailey coughed dryly twice, and the words that had been prepared for a long time were suddenly held back, and he almost didn't hold back his internal injuries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This kid is a genius, Acrylic thought to himself.

Nanni has a black line.

"Alright," the Colonel said with a dry cough, "I'll introduce myself, I'm Lake, one of the Supreme Commanders here, you can call me Colonel, you can call me Sir, just be casual." ā€

"Yes, Colonel. Payne said.

"I received an invitation yesterday from the Marquis of Crete, and had dinner with the Marquis, and it was all thanks to you, young man. ā€

"Me?" Penn thought, what does this have to do with me?

"That's right," the Colonel nodded, "you earned back the honor for the Golden Fan family yesterday, but you only received twenty gold coins, that's why I was invited. ā€

It should be thirty-six gold coins.

"I don't quite understand what you mean," Penn really didn't understand, whether it was because he had taken less or what, or because of this, the Marquis mistakenly thought that he wanted to die for him.

"Haha...... I think so," laughed the Colonel, recounting the situation in which Payne had suddenly changed from five hundred gold to twenty gold, and then said, "I wonder why you suddenly changed your mind?"

"Huh... Ha ha... Payne's face turned red suddenly.

Can he say he doesn't know what that damn gesture means, can he say that he's a turtle who has never seen the world, can he say that he hasn't slept well all night for the extra sixteen gold coins?

"I'm afraid that I have a life to earn, but not a life. Payne said with tears in his eyes.

In fact, his expression at the moment had betrayed himself, which one of the people sitting here was not a treacherous and cunning, and when his face changed, they guessed a rough idea.

The colonel smiled, not intending to debunk him, "Anyway, your unintentional actions have secured a solid backing for the mercenary group, do you have any requirements other than becoming an official mercenary of the Southern Mercenary Group?"

Payne is certainly not uncommon, but he does have, "I want to kill the people who framed me, Juniel, Chas, and Jerry." ā€

The Colonel looked at Garrett, "Are they still alive?"

He had heard the report on it, but he didn't pay attention to it later.

"Yes, sir, they are imprisoned in the dungeon. ā€

Isn't he being sent to the royal capital? Payne looked stunned for a moment.

"They didn't send them to the royal capital," Garrett said, "how could the general care about such a, I just didn't want to hand people over to the Bounty Guild, so I just made up an excuse." ā€

That's a brilliant excuse, Payne thought.

"You can kill them at any time," said the Colonel, "but before that, I wonder why you refused Nanny, I mean you refused to join the mercenary regiment because of the reserves?"

This time, the Colonel came to George to persuade the young man in front of him to join the mercenary group, because according to Nanni, the kid refused very decisively at that time, and he didn't want the mercenary group to miss out on a talent.

"I am a knight's servant, sir," said Payne, "and I will remain in the mercenary camp for the time being until the knight speaks." ā€

"I also have some friendship with Hervey, if it's just because of this, I think I still have this face. The colonel said with a smile.

"I don't think I can promise you anything until the knight says yes, sir." ā€

"Very well," the Colonel kept a semblance of a smile, thinking that he had already received the answer from the other party, because he did not see a trace of excitement or excitement on the other party's face, which meant that the kid had no intention of joining the mercenary group at all. But you still have to fight for it, don't you?

And then it's time for George to do it.

After Payne followed Garrett, Colonel Lake instructed George, "Try your best, it's up to you whether you can get it back." ā€

"Yes, sir, I'll do my best. George said. Of course, he knew what the Colonel was referring to.

After George left, the Colonel said, "The Marquis has agreed to the mercenary group's request, and he has given us the right to land eighty miles west of the city, so I think it's time to expand the power of the Great Mercenary Group in the South." ā€

......

Payne followed Garrett and swirled down the stone staircase to the bottom of the castle.

"If you turned down the mercenary group's invitation because of what happened last time, I can apologize to you. The major said.

"How so?" said Payne, who was slightly startled and shook the silk shirt on his body, "I haven't thanked you for the gift yet." ā€

"It's all trifle," said the Major, "and you want to join the Bounty Guild?"

Belch... Am I so obvious?, Payne thought.

"It's all written on your face," said the Major, holding a pine torch that illuminated the three yards around him, and he glared at Payne's face, "Is it because of Lacey?"

"Of course not," Penn immediately denied, "Lord Hervey once saved my life, and I've vowed to be a bounty hunter ever since. ā€

"I see," the Major nodded, "but it's not the only option, the mercenary group is not as bad as people think, in fact the mercenary group is more united than any army, and if you stay for a while, you will find that this place will make you feel at home, not like a bounty hunter." ā€

"Wandering around?" Payne admired the other party's eloquence a little, and even said that freedom was a wandering, and he was almost fooled by the other party.

"Hehe, you know, if something happens to you, the Bounty Guild will not stand up for you, and if you offend a certain nobleman, they can even tie you up and send you to the door to invite a reward. The Major paused, then continued, "What I can tell you is that if the bounty hunter had killed the mercenary group, the outcome would have been completely different, and once the murderer had been identified, they would have died without just making a fuss about it. So to some extent, the wolf emblem is more deterrent. ā€

It is undeniable that Garrett is completely true of what he said above, and the difference between the two has been clearly felt through his own knowledge and observation these days.

Compared to the loose bounty guilds, the mercenary group is indeed more united and more deterrent, and no one even dares to look at them when they walk on the street.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to change my mind, Payne thought.
