Chapter 162: Farewell
"It's not me, it's us," Leon said helplessly as he watched Miss Connie begin to raise her head again.
Miss Connie was really stunned this time, because of the "hard work" of this small mercenary group and the fact that she later accepted a task with only a few gold coins in the eyes of others, she was very impressed by Leon, and she also felt that this mercenary group might be very promising. After the mercenaries leave Ash Town for the City of Chaos, the Guò Guild's information channels learn that they are very active in a major event, and Connie is proud of her vision, and she even shows it off to several other colleagues.
But after all, it was just a rumor, others could not believe it, and she was helpless. But this time is different, last night just came the news that the bandit gang that had been rampant in the south of the chaotic land for half a year had been killed by a small caravan, and this matter was discussed in the tavern all night, and this morning, the corpse of the "butcher" boss was brought to her eyes, and the initiator turned out to be Li Ang, who had a deep impression in her mind!
Is this still the Dawn mercenary group with only three or four people?
"Miss Connie, can I complete the task concerning Gail?" Leon waited for a while, and seeing that Connie was still a little stunned, he had to remind her in a gentle tone as much as possible.
"Ahh
"Captain Leon, all the clients against Gail a month ago have merged their commissions, so you can complete the equivalent of the previous five tasks at once, a total of seven thousand six hundred gold coins, and a thank you letter signed by more than fifty people!"
Miss Connie's words aroused the emotion of the mercenary captain, just about a month ago, he was still leading Caterina and several people to run around for the task of one or two hundred gold coins, and at most they couldn't get together more than two thousand gold coins, and often changed hands as soon as they entered the store next to them, and it didn't take long for the reward of a task to be dozens of times that of the past.
But his affection also stopped at emotion, and he didn't get too excited, because since entering the chaotic capital, the young mercenary leader seemed to have begun to transfer, and often tens of thousands of huge amounts of gold coins came in and out of his hands, making him develop an inertia, and he was a little uninterested in picking up money and goods below 10,000.
"That's not good," Leon self-examined, "I used to say that it was easy to go from thrift to luxury, and sure enough, now I even have such a high vision?"
"No, I want to maintain the hard and simple style of my regiment, and treat every harvest with the attitude that a gold coin is also money!" Leon thought of the knight girl's frugality, and self-criticized the idea of looking down on more than seven thousand gold coins just now.
However, for a person of his character, this kind of idea belongs to coming and going faster, so just think about it, and then talk about it if it is implemented or not.
Li Ang was reviewing his vision too high, but Miss Connie thought that this young man must be a little silly happy when he heard about the reward of so much money, so he said with great concern: "Captain Li Ang, your mercenary group is now ranked very high, so you can enjoy the treatment second only to the mercenary group directly under it, for example, the discount for buying equipment in our store here is very low, I will do your best to exchange the money for equipment, so as to ensure your strength." ”
"I'm going to get you the money right now, by the way, and that thank you note!"
"Forget the thank you letter," Li Ang was not too interested in this, in fact, in the previous battle, he just wanted to find some blind-eyed robbers to run in the run-in team, who would have thought that the butcher would be in the ranks of the blind, so it was just a casual thing.
Another aspect that he was more interested in - it was an unexpected gain, so it was a bit of a benefit that he didn't cancel his mercenary group in the first place, and in that case, it was feasible to keep this status.
When Miss Connie brought the bag back to him, even if it had a weight loss effect, it was already quite weighty in her hand, and it was estimated that the reward was a real 7,600 gold coins, not like the platinum coins paid by the "Observer" Clement and the Council, let alone the laviso payment with Azurite coins like Edward of the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce.
But you can't go too far, can you? Of course, a small branch like the Mercenary Guild can't compare to those Big Macs.
When Leon left with the others, Miss Connie was still immersed in all kinds of curiosity about this mercenary group, but behind him appeared a man, who was none other than the manager of the branch, the assassin Corry.
"Are they gone?" asked Corey.
"Yes, Mr. Corey!"
"I didn't expect it...... They're growing really fast......" Corey grinned, as if even he couldn't believe it.
"Captain Leon should have gotten stronger!" Connie muttered to herself.
"Yes, it was just a small person at the beginning, and now this young man probably has no problem dealing with me at all," Corey agreed with Miss Receptionist's judgment.
"Ah, Leon is better than Mr. Cory?" Connie was surprised, but deep down there was a little satisfaction.
"I guess I'll see him sooner or later, maybe by that time, this young man named Leon will need you and me to look up......"
With that, Corey turned and walked back to his room.
......
At daybreak, the convoy of eight wagons slowly drove out of Grey Town, and at the junction to the east, dozens of townsfolk were clustered around the early morning, all quietly waving to the carriage and smiling politely.
When all the carriages disappeared from sight, these people looked at me, I looked at you, and they all let out a sigh of relief, and then immediately became excited, shouting that they wanted to go to the tavern for a drink, of course, to celebrate the unrest that had been hidden in the town for more than ten years had finally left.
At the same time, Kaka, who was recuperating with his eyes closed in the carriage, did not have this kind of awareness, he was responding to the apprentice's request for advice on alchemy without saying a word, and the next journey to the border of the Svir Kingdom would be a few days at most, and there should be no emergencies during this time, so the mood of several people was a little relaxed.
Eric's friends have become his own subordinates, and they should have arrived in Campbell territory by now, but due to the short time, even if Leon and his party arrive, they will not gain anything, so they will have to take one step at a time after they actually enter the kingdom of Sver.
After two or three days, the carriage was no longer as lively as it had been when it first set off, and there was often a long silence, some people would close their eyes and recuperate, some would write and draw, and Leon was more thinking, and this was the case with several other cars, but there was a special exception - even now, the laughter of the girls would often be heard from the second carriage, and it was estimated that with Sophia, the priest girl, they would never lack topics.
After a few nights of rest on the road, the scenery on the side of the road began to change from near noon on the third day. The thorn vines and blood cotton were no longer visible, but turned to a dry and hard sandy ground, and in the distance you could see large green fields and patches of small woods.
The border of the Kingdom of Svir has arrived.
The carriage did not stop, and drove directly into the border of the kingdom, and at the same time turned around and headed towards the location of Greenwood Town.
On the way, we passed through several small villages, where the fields of grain and vegetables were thriving, and the fields were connected and stretched far out. I can see that many farmers are tending to the ripening grains in the fields, and there is a period of time before the "harvest moon", which is one of the happiest times of the year, so they are full of energy and don't care about the beads of sweat running down their cheeks.
At this time, just after noon, some women with headscarves of various colors wrapped around their heads, carrying or carrying large and small iron containers filled with food and water, walked towards their hard-working families with a look of satisfaction, and some carefree children were running around them, a scene of joy.
Li Ang looked at this qiē through the bright glass, and felt that this scene full of life was very inexplicably intimate, and he was in a good mood, and the dull feeling brought by rushing in the open area for several days in a row was swept away.
Towards the first destination, the atmosphere is starting to come alive as Jeff gives Eric a "botany" lesson on the types of grains that pass through the fields.
Because the soil in many areas of the chaotic land is not suitable for farming, so most of the food sources are purchased from the surrounding countries, the former gangster leader has lived in the chaotic capital since he was a child, and he has never seen a real crop, and belongs to the category of people who "do not distinguish between grains", just like Leon, but fortunately, he is good at hiding, so he listened to Jeff's explanation with an unchanged face, and seemed to know very well.
There is also Singer who is interested in this, firstly, the elves are born close to any plant, and secondly, the range of the north and south of the continent is very large, so the crops that grow are also very different, so this time the elf old man reversed the normal state of drowsiness during the journey, and looked at the outside very intently.
After more than an hour, the outside scene changed again, the farmland planted with a large number of crops disappeared from view, replaced by low green space, and occasionally appeared similar to camphor trees arbor forest, these woods vary in size, less than a dozen, how can there be hundreds of large ones, fluffy canopies are mixed together, forming an endless, as if one look, at the same time, a gust of warm wind will blow the fresh breath of the woods and green space, so that the people in the carriage are refreshed.
The scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, and he knew that this symbolized the border town of the Sver Kingdom, Greenwood, was about to arrive, and he had left the kingdom by Greenwood, which was not far from the northwest.
After driving along the road for a while, they had passed a medium-sized wood, and a small grove of low-rise buildings appeared in front of everyone, which was of course their first stop in the kingdom of Sver, Greenwood.
