"How many mercenaries are there in your mercenary group? How many people are you looking to join? Ryan didn't say yes right away, but continued to ask questions.

"There are a lot of people in our mercenary group, but there are only more than twenty people who have the strength to participate in this mission, and we plan to find about twenty people."

"What kind of strength do you have to participate?" Ryan couldn't help but ask again.

"At least a level 3 swordsman or above, otherwise, not only will it not help, but it will become a burden." The thin man replied honestly.

Ryan listened and began to think. After a while, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'm interested, but I'll find out about the situation and decide whether to participate or not." ”

Ryan was cautious, he wanted to find out what this mercenary group had detected last night, and understand the level of danger before deciding.

The thin man didn't agree all at once, but thought for a while before nodding and agreeing: "Okay, but it's not convenient to talk here, please come with me, and our head will tell everyone in detail." ”

Then, the thin man led the way in front, and Ryan followed behind, leaving the East City Gate.

Halfway through, Ryan changed his previous coldness and talked and laughed with the thin man. Among them, Ryan also asked a question: "There are so many people near the city gate, and there are so many mercenaries, why do you think I am strong enough to join your group?" ”

The thin man smiled and said, "I observed that after you learned about the bounty notice, you looked as usual, and you were not as happy as the other mercenaries, and you were still thinking there, so I know that you are not an ordinary mercenary." ”

Ryan was silent, it turned out that his whereabouts were noticed, but fortunately, this person didn't seem to have bad intentions now, and it seemed that he would pay attention to it in the future.

The thin man said jokingly at this time: "You won't tell me at this time, you don't have the strength of a level 3 swordsman, right?" ”

Ryan smiled silently, casually pulled out the heavy sword behind his back, and as soon as he exerted his fighting spirit, the heavy sword suddenly emerged a foot-long sword.

Ryan kept a heart, and did not reveal all his strength, just showed the fighting spirit of a level 3 swordsman to prove it.

Soon, the two came to a bar.

The bar is large and luxuriously decorated, and it belongs to that kind of high-end consumption level, which is far from the bar that Ryan went to yesterday.

Ryan followed the thin man into one of the large boxes, and when he looked around, he saw that the area inside was hundreds of square meters, and dozens of wooden chairs with backrests were placed against the wall. It's not like a drinking bar, it's like a conference room.

There were more than a dozen people dressed as mercenaries sitting scattered in the box, some were talking, but more people were sitting silently, as if waiting for something.

The thin man quietly put his mouth close to Ryan's ear and whispered, "All of you here are invited by our mercenary group to join the mission. ”

Ryan nodded, in understanding.

The thin man stood back in place at this time and said loudly: "Please sit down for a while, wait a while, our head of the regiment will come over later." ”

When Ryan heard this, he nodded again, and then under the leadership of the thin man, he found an empty chair and sat down.

When Ryan first walked into the box, he felt that everyone in the box was looking at him, but after a while, some eyes looked away, but some eyes remained on him. Ryan didn't have any nervousness, he had experienced the situation where thousands of people were watching at the same time, so he naturally wouldn't be intimidated by this small scene.

After Ryan sat down, except for one or two who looked at Ryan from time to time, the others basically didn't look at Ryan anymore. But now it's Ryan's turn to look at the others one by one.

Most of the dozen people here are around 30 years old, and a few are young, about the same as Ryan. All of them are dressed as mercenaries, except for weapons and armor and other equipment, most of them are like Ryan, carrying a burden, obviously, these people are estimated to be from other places, not local mercenaries.

Everyone's strength, from the appearance, Ryan can't see it, but Ryan can be sure that all the people here are all level 3 swordsmen or above, because the thin man just explained that this time they are looking for level 3 swordsmen or above. As for whether anyone is a swordsman above level 5? Ryan couldn't see it, and could only roughly estimate that one or two mercenaries, who were a little older and looked much calmer, might reach the level of a level 5 swordsman or above.

"The Tiger Mercenary Group has found so many people with the strength of level 3 swordsmen, then their strength is estimated to be higher, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress these people. In addition, if this task requires more than forty people with the strength of a level 3 swordsman or above to complete it, then the difficulty of this task must be difficult. I have to be careful, or it's dangerous. Ryan whispered in his head as he observed the others.

After a while, a few more mercenaries came in the box one after another, and it looked like Ryan, who had been invited to take on the task together.

After another half a day, there didn't seem to be any mercenaries coming in. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

I saw five or six mercenary-looking people stepping into the door.

One of the leading mercenaries was about forty years old, with two whiskers on his lips, full of spirit and very majestic. I saw the middle-aged man laugh and said: "Hello everyone, I am the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group, Qifitto, thank you for giving us the face of the Tiger Mercenary Group and joining us to take on this task." ”

After saying that, Zifiteto bowed in thanks.

The mercenaries sitting in the chairs, except for one or two mercenaries who were still motionless, almost everyone stood up, including Ryan, who also stood up. Several of the mercenaries who stood up bowed in return, but most of them, including Ryan, did not move, and only stood up to show politeness.

Most of them remained silent, waiting for the head of the regiment called Chifitto to continue, for for them, the name of the regiment leader had really not been heard, so naturally there was no need to be very respectful. There were only a few mercenaries, and they spoke.

"Commander Chifitto, you're polite. It is an honor to work with your delegation. ”

"Commander Chifitto, I've heard about your name for a long time, how can I not give you face?"

"Being able to join the Tiger Mercenary Group to take on this mission is easy to capture."

……

This sycophant voice immediately aroused the contempt of all the mercenaries who did not make a sound, but all the mercenaries were experienced people, and they all took these contempts in their hearts and did not show it.

After a few modest words, Commander Chifitetto spoke again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it is well known to all of you that on the Gesodo Mountain outside our town of Gesodo, there has been a phenomenon of fog and all kinds of terrifying howls in the evenings of the last few days. This phenomenon is very strange and terrifying, and the residents of our town are worried that this phenomenon will pose a threat to our town, so the mayor of the town contacted some people, raised 5,000 gold coins, issued a mercenary mission, and offered a reward to solve the strange phenomenon of Gesodo Mountain. ”

The head of the regiment spoke eloquently, but did not get to the point, but the mercenaries present were not in a hurry, waiting for him to continue.

"Our Tiger Mercenary Regiment is the largest mercenary group in Gesodo Town, so in order to prevent this bounty mission from being taken away by mercenary groups elsewhere, we must take this task as soon as possible. Considering the lack of strength of our mercenary group, we invite everyone here to join us and accept this mission. With the strength of all of you here, plus our mercenary group, it is estimated that it is more than enough to complete this task. After saying that, the head of the regiment Chifitto looked at the mercenaries around him to see how others reacted.

There were more than 20 mercenaries present, except for a few who were calm, and the others had different reactions, some were very excited, some frowned, but more were discussing with the people next to them.

At this moment, a young mercenary stood up and asked in a weak voice: "I just came to Gesodo Town today, I don't know the situation on the Gesodo Mountain, will this mission be dangerous?" ”

"There is definitely a danger, otherwise the town would not have offered a reward of five thousand gold coins, which is enough for us to die for it," said the head of the regiment. After a pause, he continued: "The town sent a guard to investigate, but it disappeared without a trace, but most of the soldiers in this guard are not even swordsmen, and the most powerful ones are only level 2 swordsmen. I believe that with the strength of all of our level 3 swordsmen and above, the danger will definitely be greatly reduced. ”

As soon as Commander Chifitetto said this, some people's doubts were dispelled.

Someone started asking, and then a lot of people asked.

"Commander Chifitto, your mercenary group invited more than 20 of us, how many people are from your mercenary group?" This man asks the question that everyone in the room wants to ask.

"There are hundreds of people in our mercenary group, but this mission has a certain degree of danger, so we only send mercenaries above level 3 swordsman, we have sent a total of twenty-eight people, if everyone here participates, we will gather fifty mercenaries above level 3 swordsman."

"The reward for this bounty mission is 5,000 gold coins, may I ask how this gold will be distributed after completing the mission?"

Commander Chifitto didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while and said: "This bounty mission, we will take the task in the name of our mercenary group, and then use our people as the main force, with everyone here as the auxiliary, so I want to pay you a sum of gold coins in the form of payment." ”

"How many gold coins per person?" The mercenary who asked the question quickly asked again, and everyone in the room took the issue very seriously.

"I want to pay sixty gold coins for each level 3 swordsman and one hundred gold coins for level 4 swordsman."

When everyone heard this, they silently calculated it in their hearts, and then found that if they calculated it like this, they would take most of the commission from this Tiger Mercenary Group. As a result, almost everyone was in an uproar, and everyone was not satisfied with the remuneration.

Next, everyone bargained with the head of the regiment.

After arguing for a long time, it was finally agreed that if the task was completed and the commission was obtained, the level 3 swordsman would pay eighty gold coins each, and the level 4 swordsman would pay one hundred and twenty gold coins each. (To be continued.)
