Chapter 13 Preparing to Raise the Banner
This is the first time I've been here since Naro rebuilt. Under the protection of the Tree of Life, all natural and unnatural objects have been restored to their original appearance at an extraordinary speed, and I wonder what difference there is between the current Naro and the one before the Heavenly Punishment.
The so-called mercenary house is still in its original place, an old wooden two-story house.
The first floor was crowded with people, and there were many people talking to passers-by at the door, and I overheard a few words, as if they were pulling people into their own mercenary group.
Separated from these unrelated people, Feng Guyun and I went directly to the first floor of the mercenary station, and there was a huge wooden board nailed to the wall in front of it, which was plastered with various public power of attorney and mercenary group task lists, and from time to time someone stepped forward to remove one or several pieces of paper on it, and walked towards a counter that looked like a pick-up desk on the right, and began to discuss related matters with a few people behind the counter.
I pulled over an NPC who looked like he was working here and asked, "Is there a guy named Poncy here?" ”
"Ponsi? Grand Crusader Poncy? The man seemed to know. I nodded happily at him in the affirmative.
"Master Pongsey, I'm discussing something with our boss on the second floor. If you have something important to look for him, go to the second floor. As he spoke, the man pointed us to the staircase leading to the second floor. The stairs are relatively narrow, and Fen Guyun and I called Flea and [God of War Temple] to wait at the door of the mercenary station, and we will touch ourselves upstairs first.
Poncy was an old man with a white beard and several deep scars on his face, so he looked a little hateful, but his blue-black steel heavy armor and the almost human-tall giant sword behind his back really tell us that he was indeed a member of the Castle Hills, the most powerful land infantry legion in the Lynstad Human Empire, and the badge on his shoulder also tells us that his status in the Legion is not low. When we took the liberty of interrupting his conversation with the head of the mercenary station, Surya, he smiled generously, without showing any displeasure.
After reading Shath's letter to me, he discussed it with Surya, and gave us the rewards we deserved: a lot of experience points, a lot of gold (for a total of five thousand), and raised the rank of the [Temple of War] mercenaries from D to C. Don't underestimate this mercenary group level, it is an officially recognized mercenary group identity, the higher the level, the more and more advanced team missions you can accept, and the friendship with the NPC group will also be greatly increased. Team tasks are much more beneficial than individual tasks. For example, there are a lot more experience and monetary rewards, and there can be as many as one team of people doing tasks together, that is, 100 people, which is different from individual tasks to 10 people at most. Accepting a lot of team missions is the best way to improve the overall strength of the mercenary group, as I said before that everyone is really good (we said this is what I said). So far, there are only [Seven Star Society], [Destruction God Legion], [Faith], and the [God of War Temple] that has just been promoted now. Looking at Feng Guyun's happy appearance, his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
After Feng Guyun divided the prize money with me according to the head (can it still be divided equally according to the head), he hurriedly took his men down to report to their boss to invite credit. Flea and I stayed in the mercenary shelter and walked around the place, taking a look at the quest board to see if there was anything fun.
Looking at these strange tasks, a few of them really have an appetite for me and want to do some fun, but who knew that when I ran to the consultation desk to ask, I was ruthlessly told that all the tasks here that are not members of the mercenary group cannot be given. Damn, discriminate against civilians. It's a big deal that I'll also set up a mercenary group, and I'll be the boss of the team, the kind that is even more popular than Hansen and Schilling.
I slapped my little hand on his table and shouted, "I'm going to form a mercenary group." ”
"Ahh Okay, pay the 50 gold coin handling fee first. "The attendant wasn't surprised at all by what I had done suddenly, as if he was used to it.
I obediently took out 50 gold coins and handed them to him, I leaned on it, NPCs are all brutes who only recognize money and don't recognize people. After receiving the money, the NPC who was originally indifferent finally showed a smile: "How many people are in your mercenary group?" Who are the principal and deputy heads? ”
Well, this one, it seems a little more complicated than I thought. I looked around, caught a glimpse of the flea cowering to the side, and pulled him over directly: "I am the head of the regiment, and he is the deputy commander." The flea tried to plead again, but when he saw my clenched fist, he bowed his head in submission.
"Name and Occupation." The NPC pulled out a piece of paper, then picked up a pen, apparently ready to write something down on it.
"Why is it so troublesome?" I got a little impatient, and said quickly and loudly, "I, turtledove, psychic assassin; He, the bathing flea, is a thief. ”
The NPC said as he wrote: "Of course it's troublesome, it's a complicated matter to set up a mercenary group. These necessary registrations are just the beginning, and you'll have to complete a series of tasks before you're eligible to officially set up a mercenary group. Without good patience, there is no way to become a qualified mercenary group leader. ”
Hey, I'm going to get a handy NPC to teach me a lesson. I slapped my little hand on the table again, and was about to start my wonderful speech, when I suddenly noticed that the flea was pulling at my sleeve, I looked at his slightly wincing gesture and turned my head back. Strange, is there grass growing on me or what's wrong? Why is it that the whole person on the first floor of the mercenary station is looking at me? I'll admit I'm pretty, but I haven't taken my hood off yet, so they all see through.
"The name of the Corps?" That NPC doesn't care about everything that happens now, if anyone makes trouble, the four bearded white elf big men at the door are not decorations, and there is also the Grand Crusader swordsman Poncy sitting upstairs.
Name, name, name, I have to take a name, this is a little difficult for me, this is my own mercenary group, and the name can't be dealt with casually. I thought about it for a moment, and then I had an idea in my head. "Call it Light and Shadow." I remember watching an H anime called "The Legend of Light and Shadow" before, and it was very exciting. It's better to take the first half of the H animation name.,Thieves' union.,Naturally, you want to gather despicable and shameless people.,It's not strange that the name is a little colorful.。
"Excuse me, are you the turtledove wanted by [Seven Star Society]?" A loud voice sounded behind me. I turned my head to follow the sound, and I saw a middle-aged man wearing only a small black tight vest, with his body full of explosive bumps and flesh. The appearance is okay, the hair is combed neatly, and it seems to be covered with hairspray, which looks shiny.
I looked him up and down a few times, and then laughed, "Yes and what, no and what?" ”
The man spread his hands, as if to show that he had no malicious intent, then smiled easily, and by the way, pointed to a samurai bust with a long sword on the chest of his small vest and said: "I am the deputy head of the [Seven Samurai] mercenary regiment,, if you are really a turtledove, I have full authority to invite you to join us on behalf of their leader, and the reward or something is absolutely easy to say." ”
I've heard a little about the [Seven Samurai] legion before, because the rhinoceros that their leader is constipated is the first name that impressed me after I entered the "Divine Realm". However, it seems that their corps has done a lot of murderous things, and their reputation is not very good.
"Turtledove? I don't think you [Seven Samurai] are qualified enough. A young man in silver light steel armor with short hair brushed the's body and walked up to me, pointing to a silver cross on his chest like the, and said, "I am Kadu of the [Faith] Legion, and I also extend a sincere invitation to the honorable lady of the turtledove. ”
As soon as the name [Faith] came out, many people who had originally wanted to step forward immediately stopped hesitantly, but the did the opposite, and it was natural to feel uncomfortable to be stabbed by someone else. His well-developed body was pressed against Kadu's armor, and he said angrily: "Why do you say that we [Seven Samurai] are not qualified, but are you [faith] more qualified than us?" ”
Nakadu smiled calmly and said further, "Is your small D-level army capable of resisting the C-level [Seven Star Society]? ”
"We ......" The was naturally not convinced, but the difference in rank was here, and he couldn't find an entry point to refute, so he was speechless for a while, so he snorted and turned away.
The verbal victory was obviously very useful, and he watched the leave with a smile, and then aimed at me again: "Our [Faith] Corps is the same as the [Seven Star Society], and its strength is absolutely strong, and having Turtledove is definitely a tiger with wings." Do you want to think about it? ”
I didn't expect when I would become such a hot commodity, so many mercenary groups invited me to join, but now I want to set up my own mercenary group and be my own boss, instead of being attached to a certain force. I shook my cloak and said leisurely: "With all due respect, the entire Divine Realm continent is only capable of Han Sen's [God Destruction Legion] being able to compete with the [Seven Star Society], if it weren't for the fact that these two super legions were fighting each other everywhere before, the strength of the loss was terrible. You up-and-comers, how can you get to where you get to this point? Even Hansen's invitation wiped my nose with a tissue, and I don't know where it went. What do you think are my chances of accepting your invitation today? ”
My blunt words obviously made the people of the various mercenary groups present feel uncomfortable, and the whispering spread out, as if all the mosquitoes in the summer were dispatched. Kadu's face turned blue for a while, as if he had eaten a lot of unclean things and wanted to vomit but couldn't find a place, and after a while he spoke: "This time, that time, the times are progressing. [Seven Star Society] and [Destruction God Legion] may not be able to be the boss for a lifetime. ”
I laughed out loud, "Your thoughts really coincide with mine." How do you know I'm going to overtake Hansen and Schilling to become the new boss? In everyone's surprised eyes, I snatched the information in the NPC's hand that had just recorded the "Light and Shadow" mercenary group that I was still building, and the figure moved lightly, jumped on the counter used by the NPC to receive players, raised the paper in his hand, and said loudly: "I am here to set up the mercenary group today, the 'Light and Shadow' regiment." ”
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Your actions are vandalism, please come down quickly. "While I was waiting for the empty applause, an NPC unceremoniously pulled up my pant leg to the side.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, I climbed off the counter in disgrace and helplessness. The NPC who was in charge of registering my information just now also directly snatched back the regiment information in my hand.
"Holy shit. When did the mercenary become a vegetable market?! A sudden shout startled everyone present, and the first floor, which was still lively just now, immediately fell silent. It turned out that Ponxi had come down from the second floor, and sure enough, he was a Great Crusader swordsman, and this lion's roar could predict the depth of his skills. He may have seen what he had just seen, and he came straight to me as he descended the stairs. Everyone consciously flashed a way, you must know that being hacked to death by NPCs will cost experience points.
"Head Y, don't think that you will get carried away if you do something small for Sha Si." He walked up to me and stopped, scolding me with a loud voice.
Hehe, everyone else is afraid of NPCs, but I've long known that they like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, so there's nothing to be afraid of. I lifted my hood, smiled to myself, and asked Poncy, "Is there anything big you can do for me?" ”
After the great crusade swordsman Ponsi, who had always been full of majesty until now, saw my appearance, he actually took a step back in exaggerated fright, and said discoloredly: "Ai ...... Ellie......"
