"Here are three letters, wait two days for you to send them out. Siegel said to Alfred. The envelope has a nine-clawed squid on it, but in a different color. Black for Mana, red for Verwood, and gray for Moddysti.

"You have to be safe. The butler instructed again and again.

Siegel patted Alfred on the shoulder and walked down the stairs. It was late at night, and most of the servants were still asleep, except for the castle's kitchen, which was still awake at this time.

Evan's room was lit by candles, and he knew that he was going to start preparing for departure in the middle of the night, so he couldn't sleep with excitement.

"The place we're going to is likely to be a stronghold of the God of Murder, and the two of us will have to change our outfits to avoid startling the snake. Siegel said, "I'm a magic swordsman, and you're a free soldier, how?"

"Ha, Freedom Soldier, I like that title. Evan said, "What is a Freedom Soldier?"

"It's a mercenary who failed to be promoted to a knight and relied on martial arts to earn food. Siegel smiled, "If you don't like it, you can change it." ”

"It's not as imposing as your magic swordsman, but that's what I'll do. Evan pointed to the clothes on his body, "Do you have to change out of all your equipment?"

"You have to change your clothes and everything, and you can disguise your weapons. Siegel opened the space bag, which contained a full set of tools. Evan took a look, there were more than 20 sets of clothes and a large number of makeup tools, and the wigs and mustaches were complete.

"You've prepared so much in two days?" Evan noticed that some of the clothes weren't new, and several had strange scratches on them.

"It's all my clothes left over from before, washed. You can make do with it. Siegel opened another space bag. Inside, it's something that's been turned out of the arsenal. "Change the scabbard and the hilt of the sword. Put on another shield. Evan, you must wear chain mail and a shield this time, this is for your safety. If you don't agree......"

"I didn't say I disagreed. Evan reached out and grabbed a piece of black chain mail, smiling "That's right."

"You've got sharp eyes, and that Mithril Chainmail is for you. I changed the color of it, and you can still recognize it. ”

"I've wanted this for a long time. Evan then picked a round shield and asked Siegel to draw a large five-pointed star on it, as he had envisioned.

The Bubble Hotel is located across the street from the bulletin board. It's a friendly place where drinkers can buy a bottle of ale and sit back for the day. Regis the Halfling." The cave is the operator here, and he is the brave man who went to the Mage's Guild to buy the dancing girl's image crystal.

After he had the crystal, he did not fire the previous dancers. Only when the dancer is resting, he will take out the crystal and play the image to entertain the customer.

It was early in the morning, and except for the three guards who were hurrying to have breakfast in time for the caravan's departure, there were four adventurers sitting in the center of the hall. The four men, two men and two women, were pockmarked-faced middle-aged men with the emblem of Mother Earth, and the short and fat dwarf who used a magnifying glass to observe the ale in front of him and pick out the dust from it. A short-haired, half-elf female warrior with a catapult and a freckled girl with a book while drinking tea.

"Is this a reliable task, Yaoen? ”

"Kaidong went back to his hometown to get married and have children. He must not be called back now. The dwarf let out a long sigh and poured a drop of some kind of reagent into the ale before drinking from his glass. Before he speaks, he wipes the foam off his black beard, so he is always clean and tidy. "He didn't say anything until he got the bounty, and he didn't announce that he was going back to his hometown to get married. It's not easy to avoid the adventurer's death curse, so don't bring bad luck to him. ”

The half-elf was obviously more concerned about money, and she poked the glasses girl who was reading with her elbow again, "Naria, is there really fifteen hundred gold coins for this mission?"

The glasses girl hurriedly put down the book, just now she shook her hand and spilled a little tea on the page, wetting the ink. She quickly pulled out the powder of the spell casting material and recited a few words of incantation. The moisture disappeared from the page, but unfortunately the ink of the two words melted away permanently.

"Alas, another gold coin. She saw the half-elf apologizing to her, and forgave her, as she had done countless times before.

"This mission was issued by the Mage Federation, and there is also a guarantee from the lord, so there will be no problem. Naria took off her glasses and took out a small piece of rabbit skin from the pocket next to her sleeve and carefully rubbed it. "Originally, it was a total bounty of three thousand gold coins, but this time two people will join us, and they will take the other half. ”

"What? why didn't you tell us?" Amon squeezed Naria's cheeks with both hands, pressing them towards the middle, causing the freckled girl's mouth to pout. "Two people take the same amount of money as us, why?"

"Don't be greedy, Ammon. Anomen stroked the emblem of Mother Earth, and his tone was as gentle as ever: "Fifteen hundred gold coins will make you happy, but thinking about three thousand gold coins will make you miserable. The world is vast, but everyone only needs two palms of land under their feet to stand and become a person. ”

"Well, I'm just bigger on my feet. After making a few more grimaces, Ammon let go of the toy and sat back in his chair. "I hope that the two people who come can have good skills, don't be a drag. ”

The gnome shook his head and said as he checked the food, "Remember, we were guaranteed by the employer, and the employer indicated that we were looking for a team that was proficient in traps, buildings, and secret passages, so we could take on this task without Kaidon." I guess the newcomers must be strong in combat and use them to make up for their shortcomings. ”

Ammon picked up the stick beside him and gently tapped the dwarf's head. "Who do you say is the shortcoming of the battle, huh?"

Arnomen raised his left hand and generously acknowledged, "Of course it's me." ”

Ammon put away his stick and said to the dwarf, "You will learn to take care of Anomen's mood in the future, understand?"

The dwarf Yao En smiled, picked out a charred leaf from the breakfast in front of him and tossed it aside, and then placed the plate in front of him satisfied. He had just picked up his knife and fork, but he frowned again and began to check the dishes.

Just then, the door of the Bubble Inn opened, and two men walked in.

One wears a black chained shirt covered with a stiff leather armor with shoulder pads, and a long dark red cloak hanging from the back. His blonde hair was naturally curly, hanging down from his forehead and tied in a short ponytail at the back of his head. He had a heavy gray-white warhammer at his waist with runes carved in dwarven language and a handle wrapped in brown python skin. On his back hung a long sword, as well as a shield made entirely of metal.

If you look from behind him, there is a white five-pointed star in the center of the round shield, and the red, blue, and white stripes around it are drawn to create the impression of an archery target. The man clenched his hands into fists on his black belt, and looked around the inn hall with his chin raised, one of his eyebrows raised.

The man didn't look like Evan at all.

The other human was much more mature, looking to be forty years old, with milky white hair neatly groomed and loose over his shoulders. His face was covered with vicissitudes, and a scar ran through his left eye, but it didn't affect the sparkle of his pale golden eyes. A few short brown hairs could still be found in the beard on his lips and chin, which was supposed to be his original hair color.

The man's expression was very cold, just like the chain mail he was wearing. Naria's eyes narrowed, she felt the ripples of magic from her chainmail, but she couldn't tell the exact effect. She looked closely and found that the things on both of them were very good, but the style was very ordinary, probably for low-key reasons.

The man with the scar on his face carried two swords, one was a standard long sword, and the other was slightly longer and wider, just enough to reach the upper limit of one-handed use. It is a heavy sword, or as it is jokingly called, a hybrid sword, and it is not difficult to use with both hands, but if you want to hold it with one hand, you must go through hard training. But to use both a longsword and a epee? such a person is either grandstanding or genuinely capable.

Again, this man doesn't look like Siegel at all.

The man with the shield came over, drew a chair from the table next to him, and rode on. "If I'm not mistaken, you're the team introduced by Kashimon. I'm ...... Thor, call me Captain Thor, this stupid guy next to me who doesn't talk much is Jay...... It's called Jay, or you feed him, and he can say yes, and so can I. ”

Well, Evan must not have remembered the disguised identities of the two of them, and even got the names wrong, Siegel thought with some distress. Maybe it's not a good idea to pull him in.

"What is the mission of the two of you?" said Naria, holding a thick book on her chest as if it were a shield. Her eyes, which looked dangerous because of curiosity, couldn't help but look at the two people in front of her, and all kinds of analysis and speculation were running fast in her head.

"I'm here to take charge of the fight, as well as serving the two ladies, all aspects. Captain Thor winked his eyes at Naria and Ammon in exchange for the latter's merciless wink. "The guy behind me is in charge of the other mess, in fact, to be honest, I don't know what he's going to do, everything is enough with me. ”

"Can you treat us to breakfast, then?" Natalie blinked, revealing a sweet smile. "I still want to bring some to eat on the road, it won't affect you, right?"

"I think it's a good place to start by inviting people to dinner, and that's up to me. Captain Thor patted his chest and said to Jay, "Don't you hear me, don't forget to pay the bill." ”

Siegel pulled out a small brown purse, and Naria pulled out a space pouch that was twice as large as the purse.

Hopefully, the kitchen didn't have much to stock up on in the morning, and Siegel didn't want to waste too much time stocking up on food.

Naria stared at the runes on Jay's gloves in a daze. It seems to be a spell rune from the Magic Federation, which can increase elemental sensing and assist mages in casting spells. However, since the advent of wands, few people have used clumsy glove spell runes, so the Federation hasn't made anything like this for a long time.

Although the gloves of the double swordsman looked old, the spell on them looked like new?Narya's eyes narrowed, and she began to wonder the identities of the two men. (To be continued.) )

PS: Who are these two?
