Chapter 67 Mercenary Boy

The little corner is a magical place, and no matter how bustling the city, there are such remote places. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just as he was about to return to the guild area to put up a task list for the Mercenary Guild, Carl was passing by a small alley when he heard the sound of angry scolding and the sound of wooden sticks hitting from inside.

With Yarman, who is equivalent to the silver median, by his side, Carl naturally wanted to go over and see the excitement.

Without involving their own safety, mages should be curious enough.

Although this is the norm in research, this is also the way many mages do things in their daily lives, which creates a lot of onlookers.

In the alley, several hooligans punched and kicked a teenager, adding wooden sticks, and the other party just held his head in defense and did not fight back.

"Dare to spoil your uncle's good deeds. ”

"Teach him a lesson!"

"Hit, hit!"

......

"I said, this kind of thing is not good, since I have seen it, can you stop for a moment. Karl said.

"Which guy?!"

A rogue turned his head and saw the mage robe on Karl's body, and his momentum weakened, and then he saw the tall and mighty Yarman beside him, and suddenly he couldn't even say a threatening word.

Several other hooligans didn't hear the following and turned their heads, and then fell silent one by one, the hooligans also have brains, let them bully a little mercenary with no background They didn't hesitate, but against a mage with a guard, not to mention whether they could beat it, they were unlucky in the end.

"Let's go, let's go, they're all gone. Carl didn't want to dwell on anything more and directly issued an expulsion order.

Seeing that Carl didn't mean to shout and kill, several little hooligans breathed a sigh of relief, like birds and beasts.

Carl walked up to the mercenary boy and pulled him up, "What's your name and what's going on?"

"Jack. The mercenary boy stood up and patted the dust off his body, "Thank you, sir, for your help." ”

"You don't really care about their attacks, so why don't you fight back. ”

This mercenary boy looked at ease in the previous block, and it seemed that even if he didn't comprehend the fighting spirit, he had already touched the edge of the fighting spirit.

"Because it's not necessary, there must be more trouble after beating them. I ruined their good deeds in a previous mission, so I was retaliated against. Jack explained.

"You're a mercenary, right, do you have a mission now?"

If the other party has no task on his side, Carl decides to hire him directly, so that he doesn't have to turn back and run.

"No, the last assignment has just been delivered. Jack shook his head.

"Very well, I'm going to hire you as my guide from now until six o'clock in the afternoon. How much does it cost?"

Jack estimated that he was just a most ordinary mercenary with no fighting strength, and the other party was just hiring a pure guide, and he didn't need to take on the task of protection at the same time.

"Five silver coins. Jack said.

This price is actually very cheap, although the imperial capital is convenient to travel, but the average price is much higher than Lobito City, a family of three is estimated to need more than 50 silver coins for a month's living expenses.

"You can call me Carl. Carl introduced himself slightly, "I just came out of the Mage Guild and want to go to Moonlight Spring, can you lead the way?"

"No problem, Your Excellency. Jack looked very motivated when he received the task.

......

Walk on the road.

Karl pointed to the ruined wall that stood out in the middle of a pile of buildings: "What's that?"

"When His Majesty Egbert was first founded, it was still a small human kingdom, and at that time, not only the foreign race, but also the human race was also divided internally, and that section of the city wall was the traces of hundreds of years ago. Jack introduced.

It's a city full of history, and Carl suddenly remembered what the scholar on the airship had said about the Holy Heavenly City.

"Would you like to go up and have a look?" asked Jack.

"No, let's go to Moonlight Spring first, if you have time. Karl waved his hand.

Carl decided to finish the two attractions that Shanna recommended first, and then visit other places if he still had time.

"Then again, you went to be a mercenary at such a young age, does your family agree?"

Mercenary is a profession with a high casualty rate, if you only do daily tasks, which of those large-scale missions is not a heavy number of casualties? Jack looks younger than Carl, he is still a vigorous teenager, but looking at the tactics he has adopted against those hooligans before, he must have experienced a lot.

Jack spread his hands: "No way, my father died early, and my mother worked too hard to support a family by herself, so I dropped out of school early to work." ”

The Holy Vault, like Cárdenas, has compulsory education.

"Why don't you find some more secure and stable jobs?" Karl admired Jack's choice, but was still a little puzzled.

"I don't want to be discouraged by boring and unenergizing work. Jack smiled, "And my class level is here, and I won't starve to death as a mercenary." ”

An enterprising teenager who dares to take responsibility, Carl has a slightly higher opinion of Jack.

"Being a mercenary is dangerous, but it's always interesting. Jack laughed, "Like the previous mission." ”

"What's wrong?"

"A viscount's daughter ran away from home, and he was so anxious that he went to the mercenary guild to post a lot of messy tasks, and he was looking for people and posting search notices. ”

"And then?"

Jack shrugged: "I happened to see a girl being molested by a few hooligans on the road before, so I naturally went up to help relieve the siege, and I didn't say where her house was, and I didn't dare to leave alone, so I had to take her back to the guild, and then I bumped into the viscount." ”

"So you're being remembered by those hooligans?"

"Aha, yes. In fact, the most bizarre thing is not this, but that woman. ”

"What's wrong?" Carl said as he bought a burrito and a glass of milk at a roadside stall, nibbling on it.

"When she saw her father, she said I kidnapped her!" Jack clearly remembered the situation.

"Poof!" Karl squirted the milk out.

"Luckily, I was reporting at the counter. Jack said stupidly, "Otherwise, I would have died unjustly." ”

"There are strange things every year, and this year there are especially a lot. Carl patted Jack on the shoulder, "I want to open up." ”

"The viscount is a sensible man, and after apologizing to me, he handed me the commission in full. Jack laughed, "With this money, my mother's life will be better, and I will be able to spare two years to find a school." This business is still not a loss. ”

......

"Moonlight Spring is here. Jack pointed to a huge fountain in the middle of a large square in front of him, which didn't look any different from a normal one.

"Nothing special. Karl said curiously.

Jack patted his forehead: "I forgot to tell you, the moonlight spring should be seen at night, under the moonlight, the spring water here will present a beautiful view, and the spring water at that time also has the ability to heal injuries and diseases, although it is not as effective as healing potions." ”

"Really?"

"Well, but it's a church area, and a cup of spring water costs a silver coin. ”

"It's dark. Carl complained.

"It's not expensive. Jack spread his hands, "And the church charges nobles more harshly, one gold coin per cup, and there is a limited amount." ”

"Why do I feel like you're looking at me wrong? ”

"Aren't you a nobleman?"

Karl rolled his eyes: "I'm a mage, not an aristocrat. ”

"In the same way, for a rich person like a mage, the church also charges a gold coin. Jack laughed.

“......”

Although he didn't see the scenery he wanted to see, Carl didn't care, and he just had to come back in the evening.

The route you have already taken, you still won't get lost.

Eat something hastily at noon.

"Take me to the Watch Tower in the afternoon. Karl said.

"It's actually quite boring, just a tower. Jack said, "It has existed for a long time, and it has been preserved until it slowly becomes an attraction." ”

Carl was also a little disappointed when he heard this, and to be honest, he was not very interested in this kind of historical building.

But since it was recommended by Shanna, it's not bad to check it out.
