Chapter 4: Preparing for Ahead (1/3)
The sun was setting in the west, and the whole of Bloodsail City had a sense of history in the light of the setting sun, and Bird had already walked out of Marina's shop at this time.
For some reason, Marina told Bird that he hadn't seen the red-robed wizard, and Bird thought about it to no avail, so he retired early, because it was too late and he had to go to the mercenary mission hall, or else he would have to wait until tomorrow.
Bird found a restaurant on the side of the road to temporarily solve the problem of food and clothing, since the Marlena came out of the store, Bird has been wondering what is the identity of Marina, could it be the apostle of the evil god? Bird felt out the small wooden thing again, looked at it carefully but still did not gain anything, really like a woman like a fan, Bird said secretly in his heart.
After a while, he had already arrived at the mercenary task hall, and although it was already late, it was still bustling with a large number of people, a bit like the talent market in the previous life, and countless waves of people appeared around Bird along the way to ask if he needed to entrust the task, or if he could have a cheaper fee, etc. Fortunately, there was a reminder from Duke before, and Bird walked directly towards the service desk in the mercenary hall, the service desk was not very big, and it was still in the corner, if it was not reminded by others to come alone for the first time, maybe he would have found the wrong place.
"What task do you need to entrust?or do you need to receive a task?If so, please show your mercenary certificate" The man at the desk was a young man who looked full of energy. "I want to ask if there is a mercenary group that has been going to the mountains in the past few days."
When the young man heard Bird say this, he directly flipped through the book in his hand, looked at it a few times, and said, "I'm sorry, the nearest mercenary group that went to the mountain will have to wait until two weeks later" "Then can you make an appointment for me first" Bird was worried that Duke would not be found, so he wanted to make a reservation first. "Five silver coins" The young man directly said the price, and Bird also took out the corresponding gold coins.
The young man handed Bird a piece of paper with a certificate written on it, "Please come here in twelve days, that is, two days before departure, to confirm if you want to set off with the mercenary group", Bird nodded to indicate that he had heard clearly, and as soon as he was done, Bird planned to leave.
"Bard?" a familiar shout called Bird, it was the mercenary Duke. The first thing Duke saw when he walked over was the blank piece of paper in Bird's hand, and sighed, "I should have told you in advance, let you waste five silver, a good glass of Franc", but there is no procedure for refunding the fee in the mercenary mission hall, which is the precaution that the young man told Bird before Bird left.
Of course, Bird was happy to see Duke, especially when he heard him say this, and he knew that Duke had already found him by the mercenary group that had gone to the Lack of Mountains. "Duke, since you helped me find the mercenary group, then I will still treat you for a good glass of Franco", Duke first laughed and patted Bird on the shoulder, "It's just a pity that those few silver coins are gone, let's find a place to sit and talk"
Led by Duke, the two of them came to a slightly secluded place.
"It's a slave carter," Duke whispered to Bird, who also frowned. "When to go?" "Tomorrow morning" "What about the cost?" Five gold coins, bring your own food throughout the whole process, only provide accommodation, if you want one to live, you have to attach two gold coins" Bird didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a few gold coins and said, "I want to live alone, and the other will be regarded as the cost of my invitation to drink" "This seems to be a bit too much" Duke counted a little, and he estimated that he could have two or three gold coins left, and quickly shook his head, but remembered the good wine in the tavern, and couldn't help licking his lips, and the hand that originally wanted to stretch out his refusal stopped.
"Maybe when the time comes, I have other things that I need your help with, you don't need to be polite" Bird explained the words, and Duke did not hesitate to accept it directly, "If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me, I Duke will definitely help you where I can help you" Bird smiled, didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Bard, don't meddle in the slave traders' affairs when you follow them" "For example?" Bird was still in contact with the slave traders for the first time, and there was a lot he didn't understand. "For example, when they train slaves, or when some sick slaves are directly abandoned in the wild, you must not interfere. When the time comes, you will be abandoned by the slave traders, and if you provoke them to be retaliated against, maybe you will become a slave too" Duke drank the tea in front of him, and Bird only saw Duke's Adam's apple twitching up and down, and seemed a little nervous.
"I had a friend who joined the slave traders, and then because he interfered in their slave training, he was put in a coma medicine in the food, and when he woke up, he became a slave" Duke suddenly woke up from his memory, and seemed a little horrified and unbearable.
Duke seemed to want to show some confidence and pride in front of Bird, and his originally low voice rose again, "I specially inquired about you, this slave trading team has a good reputation, and there are many people who go to the Lack of Mountains, and they go there" Duke lowered his voice again, "I heard that this slave trading team has the support of big people in the Lack of Mountains" Bird thought of the wizard at this moment, this slave trading team has a wizard to survive?
"If you weren't in a hurry to leave, I'd better wait for a few days, and wait for some mercenary groups or caravans behind," said Duke, who still put the gold coins in his hand on the table, although his eyes were a little reluctant, but he no longer looked down at the gold coins.
"Duke thank you, just this slave carter. It's getting late, and I still have to get my bags for tomorrow morning, so I'll go first. Have a nice tonight," Bird stood up to say goodbye to Duke, and the two walked out the door to say goodbye before parting ways.
The road to the mountain is actually not very far, it can be reached in about three or four days with a mercenary group or caravan, but there will be various checkpoints along the way, and all kinds of forces are gathered at the foot of the mountain, so it is a good decision to follow a mercenary group.
Because he needed to bring his own food, Bird needed to buy a certain amount of dry food to prepare for the trip, and when everything was ready, it was already evening, and Bird bought a backpack to hold the food.
As he walked back to the hotel, Bird passed by the alley again, and occasionally saw two or three candles, but Bird did not stop and walked straight over.
