Chapter 18 Joining
Having solved the problem in front of him, the male priest smiled at his fellow female magician, picked up his hat with his left hand, and pulled the hair in front of his forehead back with his right hand.
The sorceress turned a blind eye to the male priest's movements, and said to Lucy, "Don't worry about it, my companions are very measured, and they will not kill anyone." β
There was a hint of fear in Lucy's eyes, it was the first time she had seen a mercenary who dared to fight openly in the hall of the Mercenary Guild.
The magician took out her money bag, counted 60 gold coins and threw them to Lucy, and said, "According to the regulations, a person who fights in the mercenary hall will be fined 10 gold coins, and this is our fine. And 20 to these two to see the pastor. β
The warrior in steel armor stepped on the unconscious mercenary who was covering his lower body and said, "If you don't have the ability, don't give the nickname of 'Blood Axe' among the Seven Heroes." He's my idol. β
The sorceress seemed dissatisfied with her companion's performance, and she beckoned her to follow her out of the Mercenary Guild. At this moment, the onlookers dispersed, and Lucy saw Ryan, she pointed at Ryan and said, "Ma'am, aren't you going to hire a magician?
The sorceress listened to Lucy's words, turned her head to look at Ryan, and saw that the young man was dressed in the costume of an ordinary adventurer, and indeed had this magic apprentice's badge on his chest, and immediately laughed, and she walked quickly towards Ryan.
Ryan was just looking at the excitement, but he didn't expect Miss Lucy to suddenly point herself out, and he was still wondering that the female magician had already walked up to his side and said to him in a gentle voice, "Hello, Mr. Magician." β
Ryan replied, "Hello. β
The sorceress introduced herself first: "My name is Faraz, we are going to complete a more difficult task, I hope there will be another magician in the team, would you like to come?"
Ryan thought for a moment, he was a little scared of his experience of completing the first two tasks, and made up his mind that he was about to ask clearly before answering, but before he thought about it for a while, the male priest came over with a big grin and said, "Farah, you see that he is so young, can he be as good as me?"
The sorceress Faraz glared at her companion and said to Ryan embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, my companion is this kind of character, he doesn't mean anything else." Then she said viciously to the male priest, "Red, do you want to practice healing again?"
The male priest Red listened to the words of the female magician Faraz, and with a frightened look on his face, he said, "Well, go and see if those two mercenaries are dead, you continue, continue." β
The sorceress Faraz continued to say to Ryan: "10 gold coins a day, the benefits obtained from the adventure are equally shared among the entire team members, and the rewards after completing the task are also equally shared, how about it, such a good condition, you can agree." β
Ryan also felt that this price was good, but he thought about it again, in this way, he would gain the most, and there was no reason for them to hire him together!
Seeing the puzzled look on Ryan's face, the male priest Red spoke again: "Don't be afraid, we don't eat people." It's just that you are called to run errands with you, and you have money to take, in case you are injured, there is me. β
When Faras heard Red's words, she was very angry, her eyes seemed to erupt with anger, and she said loudly, "Red, you shut up for me." That's how that magician was scared away by you last time. β
Red seemed to be afraid of Faraz, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, squatted down next to the two unconscious mercenaries, and refused to get up again.
Faras turned her head to look at Ryan with anticipation in her eyes.
Ryan looked at Red, who was squatting aside, and then at Faraz, who was standing beside him, and said, "Can you hear what the task is first?"
Farath thought that Ryan was afraid that the task would be too difficult, and comforted him: "Although this task is a little difficult, it is not a big problem, and we have completed more troublesome tasks than it." For this mission, we want a mage to do my work when my mana is exhausted, so that I can recover sometimes. This will keep the overall combat power of the entire team from being reduced by the fact that my mana is depleted. β
Ryan thought about it, since he couldn't wait for a suitable team after waiting for a few days, he might as well try it with them. Of course, make it clear beforehand: "I can promise you, but ......"
When Faras heard Ryan agree, she jumped up for joy and shouted, "Great!"
Red crouched there and coughed, reminding Faraz, "Pay attention to the image, lady!"
Farah didn't care at all, her mercenary team had spent almost half a month trying to find a suitable companion, and it was really lucky to find a magician this time, even if he was just a magic apprentice, as long as he could cast magic when his mana was exhausted and delayed, maybe he wouldn't need him for this mission.
Ryan looked at Faras's happy smile, and his heart moved, and a thought inexplicably came to his mind: "She's much better than Mei Fumei"
Ryan didn't know why he had this thought, and he shook his head vigorously to banish the thought.
Seeing Ryan shaking his head, Faras asked puzzledly, "Ryan, do you have any questions?" β
Ryan hurriedly explained: "No, in fact, there are a lot of these gold coins, and I didn't shake my head just now for this matter." β
Faras asked curiously, "What's that going on?"
Ryan's face turned red, of course he was embarrassed to say the thought he had just now, he quickly changed the topic: "That's the case, I only have two months, and I still have to go to the imperial capital to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition." β
"You're also competing in AtlΓ©tico Royale?" asked Farass in surprise.
Before Ryan could reply, Red rushed over and said to Ryan, "What about your companions?
Ryan smiled awkwardly and said, "I have one more companion, but he's not here." β
"Excellent!" Faras exclaimed excitedly, a big smile on her face.
Red looked at Ryan, who was confused, and explained: "Actually, we hire people everywhere to choose comrades to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition, and each comrade-in-arms will complete a task together, and if everyone gets along, they will go together." β
Ryan was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that someone had already started to do his idea and found himself. "But why are you giving up so much gold?" Ryan asked Faras if there was one more thing he hadn't figured out.
Faras said boldly: "Isn't it just a few dozen gold coins? It can be so good that a good companion, no amount of money is worth spending." β
Seeing that what he had been worrying about for a few days had been resolved, Ryan smiled as he said to Faraz, "Since everyone is here to participate in this year's AtlΓ©tico Royale, forget the gold coins you just mentioned." But I still have a companion, you see if it'......"
Faras said, "No problem. Let's get to know each other first. β
Faras pointed to the male pastor Red and introduced Ryan to Ryan, "Red, the pastor of the Church of Light. Good at recovery, healing, support, and team logistics. β
Red bent slightly to Ryan, waved his right hand from his right shoulder to his left abdomen, and gracefully made a noble salute, saying, "It's a pleasure to see you, Ryan." β
Faras pointed to the full-body steel armor of his team and said, "Oz, warriors. He is good at all kinds of weapons, and he always rushes to the front in every fight. β
Oz nodded to Ryan and didn't speak.
Faras pointed to the cloaked female thief next to her and said, "Aliana, thief." Specializes in lockpicking, reconnaissance and assassination. The last time it was when she wiped off the neck of her rival magician. Well, she's still young, you let her order. β
The female thief Elina took off her cloak, revealing a slightly childish little face, and she pouted and said unhappily, "Fani, don't speak ill of me in front of others." Alina turned to Ryan again, "Little magician, how old are you?"
Ryan casually said, "16 years old." β
The female thief Alina jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Great, there is finally a younger one in the team than me." I'm 17 today, and you're going to call me Sister Alina....... β
"Oops. Before Alina could finish her sentence, she was lightly slapped on the head by Red.
Red lectured her, "Alina, don't bully newcomers. β
Alina said, "Dead Red, why are you bullying me again?"
Red smiled: "This is not called bullying you, I am older than you, I am telling you the truth of being a man." The god of wisdom among the gods of light once said......"
Seeing that Red was about to talk again, Faras said unhappily, "Red, keep your mouth shut or practice healing, you choose." β
Red closed his mouth almost instantly, and he kept gesturing with his hand to signal that he would not speak again.
Faras said to Ryan, "Ignore him, he just likes to show himself, and he doesn't mean anything." β
Ryan smiled and said, "That's not bad, at least it won't be boring when you're adventurous." "When Ryan and Alendor were on adventures together, Alendor rarely took the initiative to speak, except for things that had to be communicated.
"My name is Faras, a junior magician, and I'm good at fire and water magic. is the leader of Lace's team. β
Ryan asked, "Race Squad?"
Faras said, "Yes. Our team of adventurers is called Ress Squad, made up of Red and some of my names. When we registered with the Mercenary Guild, there were only two of us, Oz and Aliana joined later, and their names never changed. β
Ryan nodded and said, "That's a good name too." Well, I'll introduce myself, Ryan, 16. Magical apprentice. Ryan pointed to the badge on his chest and said, "Fire and Arcane." β
Faraz thought it was strange that very few magic apprentices were still dual-lineed, and generally speaking, after magic apprentices were able to cast magic, they would apply for an apprentice trial, hoping to be promoted to a trainee magician as soon as possible. The young man in front of him went to the test of the dual lineage, even if he was a magic apprentice of the whole department, he would not be able to enjoy the monthly allowance issued by the Magic Guild. That's not a small amount, just a trainee magician can get a monthly subsidy of 100 gold coins.
Ryan said, "Why don't we go to my friend's place first, it's a lot of fun." β
Faras asked, "Where do your friends live?"
Ryan said, "Outside the city. β
Faras glanced at Red, who nodded at her.
Farath said, "Okay, you can take us with you." Do you need to hire a carriage?"
Ryan said, "I shouldn't need to, it's not too far." β
