Chapter 45: Sunset Town-Qi-Shadow
"Hello, Captain Jon, I'm Louis, Lord Baron's butler. ”
This three-story building in the middle of the town looks decent on the outside, but the interior is actually very simple, the first floor is the kitchen, warehouse, and hall, the second floor is Kerris and Kiel, and Louis's bedroom, and the third floor is the laboratory of the intermediate mage.
In the hall on the first floor, around a long table, Kyrreth sat in the main seat, Kir stood quietly behind him, and old Louis said to Jon who was standing at the long table.
"Hello!, Louis Butler. ”
Glancing tentatively at a calm-looking Kylerise, Jon gave Louis a respectful glance.
"This time, through Stratholme's mercenary union, we in Sunset Town have decided to hire the Rock Squad as the town's escort team for a period of one year, and you should have seen the relevant specific agreements in the association. ”
Looking at the mercenary captain in front of him, Old Louis said with a smile.
Originally, he would definitely oppose and resist this practice of handing over the power of guarding the town to outsiders. However, the sudden appearance of trolls in the oak forest also made him clearly realize that if he relied on the original militia to protect the town, it might only take an adult troll to easily sweep Sunset Town.
This is actually the main reason why the new land reclaimed by the displaced people will eventually be harvested by the nobles. In the world of Azeroth, the resting of the displaced people is only the remaining territories chosen by the nobles, and most of them are accompanied by various dangers.
In addition to the harsh environment, the endless alien race is the biggest bane that strangles the new land, so the outcasts who have no ability to protect themselves can only rely on the nobles after the initial development, and seek the protection of the strong.
Although Kelris, as a lord, is a powerful mid-level mage in his own right, he is only a person after all, and as a mage, he is often immersed in experiments for a long time, this Louis has already experienced it well, so when the mid-level mage notified him to hire the Rock Team to guard Sunset Town, he also did not object.
As for the details and process of employment, why he ultimately handled and communicated directly was also to leave some leeway, or he sang blackface and left some space for the baron to sing whiteface.
"Butler Louis, that agreement—" Jon glanced at Kylereth halfway through his words, and then saw Kiel staring at him indifferently, before turning his head to look at old Louis again.
"Isn't the commission set in the agreement a bit low?"
"It's not too low, Captain Jon, your monthly salary is 40 kinnars, although it is a little less than what you earn when you take on the mission, but our side is a long-term guard mission after all. ”
Smiling slightly, Louis explained that even 40 nar was beyond Sunset's capacity, but Kyrreth had already stated that he would be responsible for all the expenses for the time being.
"My commission doesn't matter, but isn't the commission for my team members too low?"
Shaking his head, Jon also knew that Kyris would not respond to him at the moment, and said intently to the baron butler in front of him, although the monthly salary is 40 narr, it is only nearly 500 narr a year, which is indeed very low for a mid-level warrior, especially as a senior old mercenary, sometimes a task can have this price.
But the life of a mercenary can almost be called precarious, and the rewards are always equal to the dangers, and the more well-paid the task, the easier it is to lose a small life. Especially as a warrior, the maintenance of weapons and equipment and the maintenance and repair of physical damage are large expenses, so the final outcome of many mercenaries is very bleak.
Therefore, he is actually very satisfied with this job.
"What are we going to do with so much garbage!"
At this time, Kir appeared silently behind Louis, directly startling Jon and Louis, and the mercenary captain looked at the Shadow One with his eyelids jumping, and found that the other party was even more terrifying and dangerous than when he was in Tirisfa.
"Those who can come with me all have some potential, even those who are not at the rank have a chance of becoming low-level warriors with a chance of more than eighty percent!" After a moment's hesitation, the mercenary captain explained to Kiel.
"Potential, Jon, even the lowest level can dare to say that there is potential?" Kiel sneered under his breath, slowly walking over to Jon's side, and said in a voice that only the other could hear.
"Do you think I can't see that you broke through the fourth order with your steel body, with your current body, you can last a few years?"
His face instantly turned blue, he became a third-order warrior at the age of twenty-seven, and then one card was seven years, until he completely lost hope, and then prayed to that man through his mother, although he finally got a steel body, but it was only the initial model, not only the effect was poor, but the side effects were very large.
Moreover, although he finally became a fourth-order warrior with this bottle of elixir that was still sky-high for him, his body never recovered, and his potential was lost, even after so many years of hard work, his physique and anger quality could only barely remain at the threshold of the fourth order.
This year, he is forty-one, and even he himself does not know how many years he can maintain his peak strength, and once this time period passes, all kinds of physical problems will swarm, disability, illness, and anger will decline, which is inevitable.
This is actually the reason why the nobles do not recruit mercenaries, most of the mercenaries from poor backgrounds, for temporary strength and desire, have already consumed their potential, and even most of them are covered with dark wounds, the peak period is extremely short, and with the consideration of loyalty and other aspects, it is far less useful than the talents cultivated by themselves.
"Jon!" Just as the mercenary captain was silent with a cold face, Kyris finally looked over.
"My lord!" Jon said as he was slightly stunned and knelt down on one knee.
"Although I can't do anything about that top-level healing potion, I still have a way to do it at your level. The mid-level mage looked at the mercenary captain, and he had already discovered the attributes of the other party:
Name: Jon
Race: Human
Attribute: Intelligence -7
Constitution -20
Strength - 20
According to Jin's narrative at the beginning, the days when the other party became a fourth-order warrior were not short, and there was no progress for so many years, and the middle-level mage knew that the opponent must have used irritating potions when breaking through the fourth-order, but did not use the corresponding body repair elixirs. This is also normal, the rarity of the wheel, the healing potion is much more difficult to get than the breakthrough potion, but for Kelrith, as a mage with a genre heritage, and he is also an intermediate enchanter, it is not too difficult to get a suitable bottle of body healing potion in Dalaran.
"Your Excellency!"
With an excited face, the mercenaries stood with one hand folded over their chests and gave a respectful knightly salute to Kyrryth.
"Those members of your team, except for the three old men of Tirisfa, pick seven more to stay, the rank location is nothing, the important thing is loyalty!
"Yes, sir!"
After another respectful knightly salute, Jon slowly got up and walked out of the hall, frowning in thought as he walked out the door.
"My lord, just let him prepare for himself, should I go and see!" Kiel whispered behind Keiris, staring at the back of the mercenary team for a long time.
"No, there is only one chance, whether you can grasp it or not depends on him. Kyris shook his head and turned to look at old Louis.
"Louis, how is the task given to you?"
"My lord—" Old Louis looked at his lord with a hesitant expression.
"Say, I'm not a beast, yes, no, no!"
Kelreth frowned and snorted.
Kiel behind him had a cold face, staring at old Louis with a hint of murderous aura, he was originally very worried about his current state, especially Kelreis now has no one around him, and let such an old guy of unknown origin serve, the most unhappy thing for him is that when he is unconscious, he is raised by this old guy like a mentally retarded every time, which is really a shame.
"Yes!" Old Louis shuddered slightly at the sound of Kiel's obvious chill.
"There are three of them, Lusanne of the Iron Mountain Blacksmith Shop, Bruce of the Guard, and—" After a pause, Old Louis looked at the hall door behind him.
"And... George. ”
After saying the last word, old Louis leaned back in his chair and looked at Kelreis tremblingly, as if he had completely lost his strength.
