After getting along for a while, some of Leon's temperament did affect Katarina, and sometimes her way of thinking was not the same as before, but would be flexible.

It is precisely because of this that she fell into a tangled love after hearing Kaka's words, if she can really become an official knight in advance, all abilities will grow accordingly, and she will no longer have to worry about not being able to protect her companions, and she can help Li Ang go further on the road of blood revenge. But it was a violation of her promise to the knight chief before she traveled, was it really okay?

"Katarina," Leon said, noticing that her expression was wrong, "stick to your own path, and don't make a choice against your beliefs for my sake." ”

"Thank you...... Caterina replied softly, "my choice is from my heart, not to anyone else." ”

"You ......" Leon could no longer utter words of persuasion, because the knight maiden's expression had already proved her firm heart.

"It seems to be a bull's horn," Li Ang glared at the alchemy master as if nothing had happened, he always felt that there would be some kind of price to pay for doing so, but this was only a one-sided idea, his experience was pitiful compared to that of a 150-year-old dwarf, maybe he was really just a blind worry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're here, please get out of the car. ”

When you open the car door, you will see a three-story building full of green creepers, and a garden with colorful flowers blooming one after another.

"Ah, so beautiful!" cried the priest girl with joy, and ran straight to a corner of the garden, trying to discern the species she knew from the sea of flowers.

Her affection also infected other people, and even Kaka was whispering to herself: "I haven't been here for more than ten years, and it seems that the current branch minister is quite an interesting character." ”

Melissa followed Sophia closely, pointing out the types of flowers for her, a young girl who had been in the wild for a long time and knew a lot about plants.

"Please come with me, Mr. Arin has been waiting for you for a long time," a beautiful receptionist lady appeared in the garden.

Yalin was one of the top leaders of the branch and the person in charge of the whole thing, this man had broad shoulders and long hands, his face was extremely sharp and angular, and his voice was thick and hoarse.

After he introduced himself coldly and politely, he looked at the young people in front of him, and turned his gaze to the dwarf Kaka.

"Who is this? I remember that there wasn't a single dwarf on the information provided. ”

"Oh, I'm just an inconsequential person, but I'm friends with Leon, so I came along. Kaka unusually didn't care about the other party's tone.

But Yalin was very dissatisfied with his answer, and said in a deep voice: "This matter should not be known to people outside your mercenary group, I remember that I have already asked Corey to inform me of this agreement, Leon, you need to give me an explanation." ”

"I don't think there's anything to explain," Lyon shrugged his shoulders like Jeff, "first of all, it just informed me, but I didn't make a promise, and secondly, this Mr. dwarf is...... Our best friend, so I don't think it matters if he knows. ”

After saying that, he deliberately turned his head and said to Kaka, "Isn't it?"

The dwarf smiled at him, as if to praise the response just now.

"It's useless to argue, your actions can be regarded as a violation of our agreement, so any consequences that may arise will be counted on the heads of your mercenary group!"

Yalin suppressed his anger and said, he really didn't expect that such a small mercenary group would take the orders of the mercenary union as a deaf ear.

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Kaka said to Leon with wide eyes, "In that case, is it not a breach of agreement for me to join your mercenary group?"

......

"Hmm...... I think it's okay," the alchemy master's unreasonable behavior almost made Li Ang not react, but he immediately said with a blessing in his heart: "Then I will officially invite you to be a member of the Dawn Mercenary Group now!"

"It's done," Kaka said casually, and then looked at the head of the mercenary group with a provocative look, "It's okay now, right?"

Arin's brow furrowed, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

The other party's performance was so clumsy that Arin didn't know if they were fledgling and didn't take the rules of the mercenary guild into account, or if they had other plans, or if they were ...... Is it trying to use this as a threat to raise the reward?

This is possible, after all, the dwarf is a stingy race that regards money as his life, and maybe he is behind it.

However, if it is really for such a reason, it is quite bearable.

He suddenly stood up and walked to the bright window, overlooking the sea of flowers below, as a way to regulate his feelings.

"Forget it, for the sake of the important information you provided, this is not an example!"

Yalin wisely did not continue to investigate, if he was serious, any mercenary group registered in the mercenary union would need to report to the union in advance, and this article was clearly written in the mercenary code.

Seeing that the high-level figures of the mercenary union were so "acquainted", Li Ang knew that the encore would be a little too much, so he expressed his gratitude and apologized a little for his behavior of adding new members at will.

"The ceremony will start on time tomorrow morning, and you will have to be there early, so the union has prepared a place to stay nearby, and someone will take you there later. ”

After Yalin said this, he just wanted to find someone to send them out.

"This progress is a bit too fast, we have to fight to the death with the bandits along the way, at least we have to arrange a day off, and as the protagonist to participate in the ceremony, at least one more day of procurement, so that we can seem to pay attention, right?"

Yalin couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been as angry as this one, and if it weren't for the special significance of this ritual to the Mercenary Guild, he would have punched this lazy kid out of the wall and chased him out and stepped on it a few times!

"Okay......" he said almost through gritted teeth, "it's set for the morning of the third day, and I'll send someone to inform you when that happens." ”

The goal had been achieved, and Li Ang once again thanked Yalin for his tolerance and generosity, and then ignored the other party's Tie Qing's face, and beckoned the members who had been idle for a long time to leave the room.

It wasn't until he left the gate of the mercenary union that Li Ang and Kaka looked at each other, and there was a hidden meaning in their eyes - the other party's appearance in this temptation was unusual, and there was indeed a conspiracy in it.

As a high-level member of the branch directly under the Mercenary Union, he didn't have to swallow his anger like this, even if the contribution of Li Ang and his party was doubled, if it was this table, Yalin could directly cancel their reward and report the matter to the Chaos Council and the higher level of the Mercenary Union.

And in this case, Leon's plan to develop a mercenary group will be over.

Under such a malicious stimulus from Leon, Yalin was able to retreat step by step, if it was entirely due to the discovery of undead creatures, even Sophia, a person with big nerves, would not believe it.

"Brother Li Ang, I was worried just now!"

Sophia, who had just been considered a nervous strip, said suddenly.

"There's nothing to worry about, Katerina and I will protect you," Leon said, in fact, he really wasn't worried about provoking Yalin just now, after all, this middle-aged man seemed to be quite literate, not to mention that there was now an alchemy master who was "comparable to a fourth-order professional".

"Yes, I know! but...... I'm more worried that the 5,000 gold coins are gone......" Sophia said pitifully with big eyes.

......

Covered in a three-story building covered by creepers, Yalin stood at the window with a glass of red wine and watched the young mercenary group leave.

"You were really funny just now, being like this by a fledgling hairy boy......"

A female voice came from behind her.

Without looking back, Arin shook his glass slightly, watching the blood-red liquid slowly slide off the walls of the glass.

"yes...... Few people dare to say this in front of me. ”

"Think about when we first debuted, we were almost like this, right? It's really full of energy," a woman in a black robe appeared from behind him, standing in front of the window together.

"At that time, the 'Fist of Steel' was notoriously short-tempered, and after so many years of honing his official chores, his temper has become much better. ”

Yalin hadn't heard the words "Fist of Steel" for a long time, and his eyes were a little confused for a while.

"Yalin, how are things arranged?" The face of the black-robed woman was no longer young, but it still looked quite attractive.

"Rest assured, Richie has already contacted the people of the council, and it should be achieved by then......"

"I'm still relieved that you're doing things, but this matter is very important, so I still have to tell Richie not to make mistakes. ”

"Well," Arin agreed, and then said, "Seriously, is it really good to do this?"

"This is an adult's decision, and you and I are not qualified to question it," Carol said, taking one last look at the young man who had already walked far away, and disappeared from the window.

......

"Aha! can we really shop here?" Sophia asked excitedly, looking at the shops on both sides of the central street and the dazzling array of goods in the windows.

"You've asked several times!" Leon could almost imagine the black line on his face, "But, remember, there is a precondition that we can get those 5,000 gold coins!"

"Uh-huh! I know!" Sophia nodded repeatedly, but it seemed like she would continue to ask again after a while.

"It's orderly, it doesn't look like Jeff described," Caterina looked around with a hint of nervousness.

"Relax," Kaka said disapprovingly, "very few people dared to cause trouble on the Main Street more than a decade ago, and this is the bottom line of the chaotic council. ”

"Why?" asked Leon shamelessly.

"Nonsense! If the capital of chaos is a dwarf, the borough is his brain, and this is his heart! The chaos council will never tolerate anyone making trouble on the central street, not anyone!"

The metaphor of the dwarf master is very vivid.

"And where are we going now?" asked Jeff.

"Go to my shop! Although I have been away for more than ten years, I can still live in it!"

"What? How can people live after more than ten years of desertion?"

"Of course you can!" Kaka said categorically.

Since the alchemy master said yes, everyone is ready to take a look, after all, safety is still guaranteed on the central street.

"Where?" someone asked.

"Downtown. ”
