The dark elf sat by the campfire of the Ryan camp with his underground dwarf translator, if it is an ordinary dark elf, it is the most disgusting to encounter sunlight or flames with high temperatures, which will make them feel very uncomfortable, and even seriously affect the physical function of the dark elves, so that their strength will be greatly reduced, but the dark elf who came to the door is also a legendary powerhouse, after reaching this level, even the high-level fire magic of the magician can effectively resist its lethality, and a small bonfire is naturally not a problem.

After the dark elf sat down, he did not directly state the reason for the request, but began to talk to Astarot, who was disguised as a dark elf, I don't know if he saw another dark elf and wanted to communicate more, or took the opportunity to interrogate Astarote, hoping to find out his details. As an old monster of tens of thousands of years, how could Astarote be frightened by such a small battle, he quietly talked to the dark elf, but his words did not leak, it sounded like a lot of things, but none of them could bring a substantive understanding to the other party.

The two of them tested each other for five or six minutes, and the dark elf who called himself "Cui Duin" saw that he could not get more, so he had to change the topic to his intentions, and he said to Astalote, who was the captain of the guard of the entire Chamber of Commerce: "Our Djinn Chamber of Commerce has received an escort mission this time, to send a lady to Bireg City, but this lady's enemy does not intend to let us do this, and as a result, we have fought several times along the way, and both sides have hurt each other. ”

When he said this, he looked at the faces of the people on Ryan's side, but he didn't find anything, and he seemed to be a little disappointed in his heart, but he continued: "I see that there is no convoy to transport goods around you, presumably you should have nothing urgent now, I don't know if you are willing to assist us in completing this escort task together, we can pay a price that satisfies you." ”

"Why are you looking for us?" said Astaroth, instead of replying immediately, instead asking the Treduin.

Cui Duyin's heart perked, he knew that the matter had reached a critical point, he opened his mouth to explain: "Actually, it's very simple, we have been resting here for more than a day, there are only a few caravans in the past, you see that the other ones have a large number of convoys, but the bad luck is that the destination of these chambers of commerce is not Birig City, not even passing through that city, it is obvious that they will not lose their current mission to help us." ”

"Isn't there anyone tempted by the heavy reward?" asked Astarott again.

The dark elf Cui Duyin said with a wry smile: "The most important thing in the caravan is credibility, from here to Bireg City, there are at least ten days to travel, if these caravans deliberately detour for us, the delay will be more than fifteen to twenty days, which will make their own cargo transportation a lot of trouble, if the goods cannot be delivered to the destination in time, this loss is not something that some money can make up." That's why I'm looking for you, at least you don't have a convoy to deliver goods, maybe you have time to help us. ”

"Aren't you afraid that we are also the enemies who hunt down you?" Ryan on the side suddenly interjected, he was also disguised as a dark elf mage, so he could naturally talk directly to Astarol and Triduin without the help of that underground dwarf translator, no matter how he spoke, the pronunciation of the words was as familiar as if he had been used for decades, and no one would hear any flaws at all.

"Probably not, because we just repelled their attack a while ago, and if you had been with them all the way, that attack would have been postponed until now, and more manpower means a higher success rate, wouldn't it?" Triduin shook his head and said, "According to our estimates, it will take some time for them to mobilize their manpower, and the next wave of attacks should be seven days later, on the way to Birig City, so we will be stationed here to rest and hire more helpers everywhere." ”

Ryan didn't speak again after listening to the other party's explanation, but lowered his head and didn't know what to think, but Astarlot knew Ryan's thoughts, and knew that he was a little suspicious of the motives of the Triduin in front of him, after all, it was too much of a coincidence, Ryan and they were going to Birrig City, but they met another caravan with the same destination on the way, and they actually wanted to hire themselves to escort them to Birrig City, is this series really just a coincidence, or is it a trap carefully arranged by someone?

However, Ryan's lowering of his head also hinted at Astarote, allowing him to make a choice if he was more familiar with the environment here, so after Astarote weighed it repeatedly, he said to the Treydouin: "Two conditions, first, if we encounter the worst situation, even if we try our best, we can't win, then we have the right to give up the commission and leave first." Second, we will go our separate ways as we march, only keeping each other in sight, and if we encounter an enemy, we will weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to support or retreat. ”

Cui Duyin saw Astarlot say this, his face relaxed, Astarote's conditions sounded unkind, but it was the best means of self-protection, after all, no one can guarantee that Cui Duyin They really want to hire more people to complete the task, and the layout deceives other caravans to protect themselves, but they are led into a trap, which is also one of the common means used by some chambers of commerce that are accustomed to black eating black, in other words, Cui Duin's own choice is nothing more than some deletions in the details of Astarote's two conditions, and the general content will definitely not change。

The dark elf Cui Duin's face showed joy, and he said with some excitement: "Okay, I can make the decision to promise you these conditions, as for the honorarium, first pay according to the A-level escort mission, if a battle breaks out on the way, and then increase according to the specific situation, in short, the Djinn Chamber of Commerce will definitely not treat you badly, I hope we have a happy cooperation this time." ”

After the Tredouin was gone, Astalot used food to disguise his speech, and said in a voice that only Ryan, who was sitting next to him, could hear: "They have the same destination as us, and if they really came for us, they will definitely not be able to shake off this tail, so I simply agreed to their request to see what they want to do." With our strength, as long as we are vigilant, there is no danger, if there is something wrong, we will leave on our own, if we dare to do anything, we will slaughter them directly, hum!"

Ryan nodded slightly, agreeing with Astarote's words, due to the different disguises of the whole team, it is impossible for a dark elf to sit with a minotaur or ogre and call him brothers, so Ryan only used magic to quietly inform Helis of Astarote's decision and thoughts, and then she informed the other companions one by one when distributing the food.

After ten minutes, the dark elf Triduin came over again, because he already knew that there was a dark elf on Lane's side who could call the shots, so he didn't bring the underground gnome with him. This time Cui Duin didn't talk nonsense, he put a storage pocket in front of Astarote, and then said: "Here is the reward for hiring you for ten days, if everything is calm, everyone will be happy, and if there is a battle, we will pay more according to the situation of the battle." In short, the Djinn Chamber of Commerce has never treated our friends badly, especially those who have reached out to help us in times of crisis. ”

After Triduin said this, he and Astarot explained some details in detail, such as when to depart, how to maintain contact between the two caravans, and so on. After the dark elf Triduin left, Ryan opened the storage pocket, examined it carefully, and found that there was no movement on it, but Ryan was still startled by the gold coins contained in this pocket, because there were tens of millions, no wonder he had to use a storage bag instead of a money bag.

Seeing Ryan's expression different, Astarlot said in a low voice: "A-level escort mission, the mercenary group that takes this kind of task, is a reward of millions of gold coins a day, at least two mercenary groups of legendary powerhouses are qualified to take on this kind of task, in fact, they don't suffer at all, because our strength on the surface is four legendary powerhouses, which is why he keeps emphasizing that there is another reason for the heavy thanks, if there is only so much compensation, it is difficult for us to help them desperately." ”

Ryan nodded, he grabbed a handful of gold coins casually, but found that the patterns engraved on it were not the same, and after careful identification, he found that there were heads with demon images and dark elf images on them, and it didn't seem to be issued by a country. Just as Hrisna came over to report to Ryan that she had completed the task he had given him, Ryan asked Herrisna about it.

Herisna whispered: "The seven kings of the other world will each issue gold coins in their own kingdoms, and everyone's gold coin weight is the same, but the avatars on them are naturally different. Originally, these gold coins rarely circulated across borders, but after so many years, after the efforts of a large number of plane merchants, everyone has now become accustomed to mixing these gold coins, and they are willing to accept them as long as they spend them anyway. ”

Ryan tossed the gold coins back in his hand, and then handed the storage pocket to Astaroth, because the latter disguised himself as the captain of the guard, and in the case of underground gnomes who did not have accounts, the strongest captain of the guard was usually responsible for keeping the gold coins and valuables, and these details could easily arouse the suspicion of others if they were not careful.
