When the carriage went out of the distance, he saw the burly soldier standing on the high slope and shaking his hands vigorously, and he took off his fake beard and complained, "What are you doing? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Without waiting for Mira to answer, he hugged the stone affectionately and said, "Good stone, good stone, brother stone, why don't we work together to develop a new project." I'll go to the small commodity city to wholesale some rubber gadgets and come back, you can turn them into gems, and after we sell them, we will split the account, how about it?"

Shi said with a straight face: "My father and mother taught me that I don't beg for food when I starve to death, and I don't lie to people when I die poor." The play was boring, so I had to sit back stupidly.

It has to be said that the early winter in Sidi Province is still very beautiful, the blue sky is inlaid with white clouds, the empty fields are dotted with swaying flowers, a broken goose that returns late calls the west wind alone, and a few bare old trees stubbornly point to the sky.

Mira slouched on the edge of the window, watching the sun go down and counting the smoke as it drifted up. When he was bored, he suddenly saw a group of people arguing about something on the hillside beside the road, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and the beckoning cat followed with an excited face.

As they approached, the arguing crowd had divided into two groups, one was an old peasant with a hoe full of rustic atmosphere, and the other was a big man with a knife and a stick protecting a pot-bellied merchant, and there was a bloody corpse on the ground.

When he saw the corpse, Mira chuckled in his heart, why did he still cause a death? But when he looked closely, he saw that the corpse was dog-headed and human, and the body was dirty, and a tail was later exposed. Mira secretly asked the beckoning cat, "Is this something you made up by the Holy See?" She shook her head and said, "No, I think this should be a kobold." ”

The merchant saw that Mira was accompanied by two carriages, and said to Mira as if he had seen a savior: "This friend has come to judge us, and we were resting here, but a kobold ran out of the woods and stole my belongings, and was killed by my guards. As a result, these farmers said that this kobold was the mascot of their village, and they would let me go only if I had to pay a lot of money. You say, is there anyone in the world who uses kobolds as mascots?"

The old peasants were furious and shouted loudly, and although there were many people, Mira gradually made sense of their words. I don't know when a group of kobolds came up on this mountain, and they robbed passers-by, damaged crops, and made the villagers miserable.

The villagers also invited mercenaries to go up the mountain to clear the mountain several times, but after each time, the number of kobolds quickly recovered, and the revenge became more violent. The villagers were so disturbed that they made a non-aggression pact with each other, they guaranteed the safety of the kobolds, and the kobolds no longer harassed the village, but only plundered pedestrians.

During this time, the villagers and the kobold had been fine, but today a kobold died on the ground at the head of the village, and if his companion became angry, the village would have to live in fear again, so the old peasants must have asked the merchant to pay enough compensation to appease the kobold's anger.

Mira looked at the corpse with its long tongue out, the interlaced canine teeth always made him feel a little worried, and he asked suspiciously, "You want compensation for the kobolds, what's the use of such a guy asking for money?"

"Useful," One-Eye walked over as well, "I've dealt with kobolds before, they can speak a small amount of human language, and they use money to buy weapons and food. However, they don't know how to produce and don't know how to save, so they have always been so poor that they don't have pants to wear, so they can only steal and rob everywhere. ”

The merchant noticed the mercenary badge on Mira and One-Eye's chest, and his eyes lit up and said, "A few of them are mercenaries, then it's easy to do." I have something urgent to deal with, and I really can't afford to delay here, so why don't you just issue a task and ask a few people to stay and help me solve this dispute?"

Mira was a little puzzled: "There is no mercenary union office here, can you also issue tasks?"

One-eyed said: "Yes, this is a designated trigger task, not like the rush to do the task in the union, the characteristics are simple and convenient, as long as the two parties return to the city to report to the union." The disadvantage is that the binding force is not high, and if one party breaches the contract, the union is not responsible for recovering the liquidated damages. ”

Although it was already very cold, beads of sweat could be faintly seen on the merchant's head: "These peasants must ask for two hundred gold coins in compensation, it is really a lion who has opened his mouth, so let's give me ten gold coins, how about you help me settle them?"

An old peasant said angrily: "Isn't it great to be rich? I have been fighting with these kobolds for decades, and I know their greed too well. ”

Mira was still thinking, and the beckoning cat quietly poked him and said, "Promise to come down, there are ten gold coins, and it can be regarded as a good opening." ”

Mira hesitated, "These villagers are just afraid that they won't accept a few gold coins in compensation, right?"

"Stupid, if you go up the mountain and kill all the kobolds, what compensation will you use?"

The villagers clamored: "In the past, several mercenary groups said that they would kill all the kobolds, but none of them did, so why should we believe you? If you provoke them, our village will suffer again." ”

Mira stiffened her neck and said, "Don't compare our skeleton regiment with other mercenary groups, the desert alliance army was wiped out by me with one hand in the previous period, what are these kobolds?"

The villagers thought he was bragging, but the merchant was overjoyed and said, "Is the Skeleton Regiment the Captain Mira? If you can summon the Scourge and the Lord of Death, these kobolds are really no problem, and I can leave with peace of mind. As a token of my respect, how about we increase the reward for the quest to twelve gold?"

"Wow, two more gold coins. The beckoning cat's eyes shone with a golden light: "Okay, okay, let's sign the contract right away." ”

Seeing the merchant leave happily, looking at the group of sneering villagers behind her, Mira had a feeling of being deceived, but the beckoning cat also leaned into her ear and said, "Commander, two gold coins, one of them is Ben Meow's, right?"

Mira said angrily: "Who told you to promise them indiscriminately?

"How can the head of the regiment have gold coins cute, hum, I won't tell you, Ben Meow is going to find your sister. With that, the beckoning cat ran to Tracey's side.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Mira and the others, seeing that it was getting late, the villagers still agreed to their request to stay overnight. After dinner, Mira pushed the bowl and said very seriously: "Have a meeting, we have to seriously discuss this task, if we can't eliminate all the kobolds, this time we will smash our own signboards." ”

Fast legs sucked the thick soup in front of him: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I've been on the road for a day today, I'm so tired, I have to get some sleep quickly." ”

The beckoning cat hurriedly raised his hand: "Yes, yes, lack of sleep is a woman's natural enemy, isn't it Trisi?"

Mira is really speechless, Tracey and the beckoning cat are mixed together, and they learn very quickly. Look at these people in front of me, some are putting away the dishes, some are snorting, some are stupid, some are cunning, no, this is not the elite team I want, should my brilliant life path be such a failure at the beginning?

A group of heartless guys quickly fell asleep, but Mira's heart fluctuated and she couldn't calm down for a long time. Outside the window, the moon was like a wheel, and Mira secretly swore to the moon that she would never be like these guys and wait for nothing to do, but must cheer up, work hard, and make her due contribution to the cause of the liberation of the country, the nation and mankind. Thinking of this, Mira felt that the mercenary badge on her chest was even more vivid.

In a daze, she heard a sound of chattering, and Mira realized that she had fallen asleep against the window at some point, and her saliva wet the clothes on her chest. He straightened up, feeling as if his waist was about to break, well, he can't sit and sleep like this anymore in the future, his body must be cherished.

Mira yawned and looked out the window, but her eyes widened. At this moment, the moonlight is swaying, and in the bright moonlight, you can see more than a dozen dirty kobolds rummaging in the small courtyard where Mira is staying, talking to each other from time to time, and then looking into the distance, many rooftops are also full of shadowy kobolds, which are simply like a group of demons dancing.

Perhaps sensing someone in the room watching, a stout kobold bared his teeth and let out a low howl at Mira, and the nearby companions turned their heads together, and a dozen pairs of green eyes shone and flickered like ghost fire, which made Mira's heart tighten suddenly.

A big hand slapped on Mira's shoulder, and Mira was almost instantly frightened and bounced, but when she turned around, she saw a one-eyed teasing smile: "Don't be afraid, these kobolds have very low combat effectiveness, and they are not even as good as skeletons." ”

"Who, who's scared? I'm just studying the habits of kobolds. By the way, since they're so weak, why don't we rush out and kill?"

"These are just small teams that have come out to find their companions, what is the use of killing them all? Our mission is to kill all these kobolds and completely remove their threat to the village, if we can't find their lair, and when we go away and the kobolds will come back again, then the mission will be considered a failure. ”

Mira became a little excited: "You mean to sneak after them when they come home and catch them all?"

"Are you sure you can keep up with a dog's speed and not be noticed by it? Don't worry too much, Fast Legs is a thief, although he is usually not very reliable, but his tracking skills are still good, and it will be good to have him lead the way when the time comes." ”

Mira was so angry that she couldn't sleep, and the baby was bitter, but the baby didn't cry.
