Chapter 12: Skod joins

The mercenaries in the tent hula all came around, but when they saw the mercenary badge on Mila's chest, and then looked at the few companions behind him who were lying or lying down without a proper shape, they all dispersed again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info just kidding.,If you want to add a group, you have to find a better group.,Just find a rookie group to enter.,The command is not good.,The cooperation is not good.,I don't know how to be played to death when the time comes.,It's better to be a guy.。

Mira's hands were almost sore, but no one cared, so she could only put down the plank again in a dejected manner, and had to accept the merciless complaints of the little sparrow and fast legs, and suddenly felt that the road of life was so dark and long. At this moment, a slightly immature voice sounded: "Excuse me, do you still want to recruit people in your group?"

Mira looked up and saw in front of him a thin young man, with a yellow and thin face, his hair was disheveled, and his face was flushing a strange red at the moment, as if he was nervous about Mira's answer.

Mira suddenly became proud, and lifted Erlang's legs like the head of the academy, squinting at the young man, and One-Eye and Little Sparrow immediately turned their faces, and the look on their faces clearly indicated that I didn't know this thing. Mira shook her legs for a moment before she asked slowly, "What's your name, how old are you, and what is your profession?"

The boy looked even more nervous: "My name is Skode, seventeen years old, G-class mercenary, junior hunter. ”

"Hunter?" Mira hesitated, and quickly brought her legs to his ear: "It's a branch of archers, maybe it still has some use in the forest and mountain areas, go to the desert, do you want to hunt rattlesnakes and sand scorpions?"

Mira suddenly understood, it seemed that this young man had hit a lot of walls in other mercenary groups, he put his legs away, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Skord shouted: "Please, my sister is seriously ill, I must find a job to earn enough money for treatment." His face was pale, and his eyes were misty.

One-eyed and the little sparrow both turned their heads, and the expression on the little sparrow's face had been changed to that of a poor child, and the big man sighed and said, "I also had a sister, who later fell ill and died, alas. Commander, if the funds are not tight, take him in, and treat it as a good deed. ”

Do a good deed? At that time, when the mercenary group was demoted and the salary could not be paid, why didn't anyone come to do good deeds to me? Mira's eyes rolled with bones, and you are all good people, let me do evil things? He coughed lightly, "You're G-rated, doesn't seem to have a high salary?"

"Yes, when I was a freelance mercenary, it was usually fifty copper coins a day, and if I was hired by the Warcraft Hunting Team, I could have a silver coin a day. ”

Monster hunting? As if she had some real skills, Mira pondered and said, "Then let's sign a short-term contract, the probation period is three months, ten silver coins per month, and after three months, if you can become a regular member of the team, the salary is negotiable, how about it?"

After completing the formalities from the office set up by the mercenary union in the camp, Mira asked casually: "Skode, where are your bows and arrows, go to the training ground and shoot a few arrows so that I can see your strength." ”

Skode's face suddenly turned red: "Commander, the mercenary union in the city has been closed for a long time, and I have never had a suitable income, so my bows and arrows have been sold to make a living." Seeing the raging fire rising in Mira's eyes, Skod quickly took out a slingshot from his arms: "However, my shooting skills are not wasted, I can achieve the power of a bow and arrow with a slingshot, and besides, there are stones everywhere and it doesn't cost money, so I ......." Commander, what's wrong with you? Why did you faint? Come on, help. ”

Singh, the captain of the fifth water convoy, is a very fat man, or it can also be said that he is a very short fat man, and he is very dissatisfied with the strength of Mira's group, but the status of the water convoy in the army has not been high, if it is not for the desert destination, I am afraid that even the escort team will not be equipped.

Seeing Singh's unhappy face, Mira looked a little reserved, and he asked tentatively, "Captain, when are we leaving?"

"What is the departure? The troops in front have not finished their journey, so what are our logistical burdens urgent? I estimate that it will be good if we can take our turn within half a month. ”

"Half a month?" Mira was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, the foodies who followed behind her had already cheered: "Okay, okay, why don't we go and eat spiced pearls together**, I was taken away as soon as I entered the city last time, and I didn't even smell the smell of chicken." ”

Mira looked at the people who were feasting with a dark face, could this guinea fowl be made of gold? I actually asked for two silver coins each, but it tasted really good. Fast legs picked their teeth and said unsatisfactorily: "It's so delicious, it would be nice if there were two more." ”

He looked at Mira's face and felt that there was no great possibility, and suddenly shouted: "Aha, look at what Skod is doing, actually stealing chickens, do you think you can hide the professional eye of a thief?"

Skod was secretly grabbing half of the chicken's neck and putting it in a small bag on his chest, this time he was drunk by his fast legs like a lightning strike, his face was red and white, and he trembled for a long time and said: "I, I took my share, I didn't take more." ”

Only then did everyone remember that when they were shouting and grabbing the chicken legs just now, the young man did not seem to join, in fact, most of the time he just swallowed saliva with others. Seeing Mira's expression soften, Skod then explained, "My sister hasn't eaten for a day, and I, I, I want to bring my share back to her." ”

Skode's home, strictly speaking, was a low, damp little house, sitting beneath a slope where the dirty water from the various workshops ran almost close to the doorway. Entering the house, there are all kinds of animal skins that are randomly arranged, many of which have not yet been nitrated, and emit a more pungent smell than the waste water outside the door.

Scott's sister Trace, a girl with blue eyes like the sea, bowed shyly and apologized: "I'm sorry, ahem, these are my brother's former trophies, ahem, because the market is not good, it has not been sold." Ahem, it's too messy at home, please bear with me. ”

Mira looked at Tracy, saw that her face was sallow, and her eyes were sunk into a deep black pit, and asked worriedly, "Skode, your sister's illness, does it matter?"

Skod briefly explained to Tracey about his joining the group, and then frowned and said, "At first, it was just a slight cough, but then it got worse and worse, and I kept coughing all day long." I also went to the church and asked, and the priest said that Tris was infected with some kind of toxin, and that she needed to use dragon grass to detoxify it. Alas, where can poor people like us afford to buy golden dragon grass? ”

Tris took Skode's hand: "Brother, I know my own illness, and it's not worth wasting any more money on me." It's just, what are you going to do if I'm gone? Who's going to take care of you?"

For the next few days, Mira spent time with the water convoy and became more and more acquainted with Singh. The 5th Water Convoy consisted of 17 water trucks, which were originally responsible for fighting fires in military camps, but due to the special terrain of the desert, they are now treated as mobile reservoirs. Singh had already gone to the quartermaster office several times to quarrel because of the issue of the people's husband, but each time he got the answer that he was understaffed and needed to be given priority to the higher order of troops, for which Singh was angry every day, like a boiling teapot.

On this day, Mira chatted with the teapot for a while, and watched with envy as another combat unit rose up and displayed its heroic posture in the display of the military flag. He was touching his chin to estimate how long the water convoy would have to leave, when he suddenly saw Fast Legs standing outside the camp and winked at him, and hurriedly said goodbye to Singh.

"How's it going? got a bow and arrow?" Mira had a deep grudge against Skod's slingshot, and if she really brought such a toy to the battlefield, it is estimated that the other party would not be shot to death, but laughed to death.

"No, now bows and arrows are all military items, and they can't be bought through normal channels, and the most basic Sakuragi bow on the black market costs thirty gold coins each, and only ten arrows are given. ”

"Thirty gold, then let Skod play with the slingshot, I'll let him die." Mira scolded hatefully.

Kuaileg echoed a few sentences, and changed the subject: "Although I didn't find the bow and arrow, I finally asked what the golden dragon grass was." ”

Golden dragon grass is a medicinal herb that grows in the New World, which has a good effect on biotoxins, and is also an essential prerequisite for making many alchemical potions. Since the Gods and Demons began to cut off sea transportation, only some desperate smuggling caravans dared to bring a small amount of Golden Dragon Grass to the Linfan Continent, so the price of Golden Dragon Grass naturally rose.

"Two hundred gold coins, why don't they grab it?" Mira's lungs were about to explode, and she only got a hundred gold coins for killing the Flame Lion King nine times in her life, and such a herb actually cost two hundred.

Mila's puffing appearance caught the attention of many passing soldiers, who looked at the boy with a smile and a smile on his cheeks, like a frog. Kuaijiao's face turned red, and he hurriedly whispered: "According to the information I heard in the Thieves' Guild, the Medicine King Hall in the Medicine King Valley in the northern part of Stilwell City may have golden dragon grass growing on it. ”

Mira became excited all of a sudden, but in a blink of an eye, she caught a glimpse of the strange look on her fast legs' face, and immediately asked again: "What kind of medicine king hall is it, is it dangerous?"

"I heard that there are a lot of undead creatures there, and it is one of the trial sites for swordsmen to become crusaders, isn't it dangerous, at least our regiment must have been wiped out in the past. ”
