Chapter 15: Members of the Mercenary Regiment

"Aina, what are you doing?" Lu Xi walked into the lobby of the restaurant and looked at the things in Ayina's hand.

It's a restaurant, but it's too basic, with a few wooden tables against the wall, and a large piece of space in the middle.

There is a room on each side of the lobby, one is the kitchen, the other should be the storeroom, and there is a door ajar at the back, which is connected to the backyard rented to the mercenary masters.

Lu Xi glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze and continued to look at what was under Ayina's hand.

"I don't know, it was the mercenary master who asked me to do it, and they didn't tell me what it was." Ayina shook her head, and as always, she had a lot to say, "But I guess this thing should be a shelf, used to put things." Uncle Amai also guessed so, he said that the mercenary masters always broke the table two days ago, and this should be used to put things that broke the table, Miss Lucy, haven't you ever seen something like this? ”

Lu Xi looked at it again, her expression was strange, she seemed to have really seen this thing - the rack for eggs in the refrigerator, also known as egg trays.

The whole thing is a trapezoidal shelf, there is a semi-circular groove in the middle, the shape has been fixed, and what Aina is doing is to polish the surface of the wood clean.

It was a very boring job, but there was no impatience on Aina's face, and he always looked energetic, no matter what he was doing.

"Yes, but I haven't seen anything this big." Lu Xi's tone was a little hesitant, she wasn't quite sure if she mentioned something from another world, and whether the result was good or bad.

"What is it?" Aina's eyes lit up like Xiao Yuan, and curiosity was almost written all over her pupils.

"Egg trays are to place some ...... Racks for monster eggs to prevent them from crumbling when moving, or better yet. Lu Xi opened his mouth to explain.

"Like such a big monster egg?" Ayina gestured, according to the size of the "egg tray" under his hand, the monster egg that could be put on it was almost two meters high.

The average demon object is only so big, and to lay such a big egg, it takes at least a monster dozens of meters high, and Ayina has never seen such a big monster.

Lu Xi was also at a loss, but with her limited knowledge, it should be impossible, and Ayina glanced at each other, and the two of them tacitly eliminated this possibility.

"Sure enough, it should be a shelf or something." Ayina nodded in conviction.

Lu Xi didn't dwell on this question, and instead asked what he wanted to know, "Aina, have you ever been to Viguri Town?" ”

"Went with my father once." Ayina nodded, and without waiting for Lu Xi to ask any more, she had already spoken by herself.

"The walls of Viguri Town are very tall, more than ten meters high, my father said that even if you don't activate the elemental magic circle, you can resist the attacks of low-level monsters just by relying on the outer city wall, I really hope that our village can also build this kind of city wall."

"Also, the roads in the town of Viguri are very smooth, not tiring to walk on them, and the roads are so wide that several wagons can walk side by side. Miss Lucy, the feather horse is so beautiful, do you usually use it to drive? When I have money, I also want to buy a feathered horse, and I can also carry goods for the people in the village. ”

"There are shops on both sides of the road, selling everything, I like the dessert shop on the west side of the road the most, they have a kind of berry candy, as long as you put a little bit, you can drink very sweet water, but the price is too expensive, my father is only willing to buy a little bit back every time."

Lu Xi filled these words with his shallow perception of the other world, and when Ayina once again talked about his "beautiful imagination" of the future, a laugh suddenly came from the back door.

"Poof." A woman in tight leather armor pushed open the back door and walked out, with a smile on her face that didn't fade.

She was different from the other women Lu Xi saw in Kuwa Village, her hair was not coiled on the top of her head, let alone wrapped in a flower turban, but she simply tied a high ponytail, which looked particularly fresh and neat, and her golden hair seemed to be deliberately cut short, so that no matter how she shook her head, her hair would not cover her eyes.

The tight-fitting leather armor modified her pretty good figure, and all kinds of imprints of all sizes were engraved on it, as if it was full of stories, and two short knives hung on her waist, which could be reached with a raise of her hand.

"Danger" was Lu Xi's first perception, and then she looked at the woman's face, about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, her appearance could only be said to be delicate, not even as beautiful as Aina and Jenny, let alone compared with Lu Xi.

"Ms. Helen." Ayina reacted and turned around to greet Hailin from the mercenary group.

"The dream is good, continue next time." Hailin walked over and patted Ayina's head, and opened her mouth with a slight smile, but it was not a mockery, but it seemed to cheer for Ayina.

"How's the grinding?" Hai Lin said casually, and looked down at the unknown shelf under Ayina's hand.

"It's not almost, Ms. Helen, I'll be able to get it right away!" Although she had been talking, Ayina had not stopped moving, and had already finished most of it.

"Alright, so be it." Hai Lin touched it casually, Ayina said a little bit, in fact, the grinding is not meticulous enough, but in the current state, there is no problem with direct use.

Helen didn't bother to wait any longer, swept the sawdust from it, picked up the wooden shelf with one hand, and walked to the backyard.

Lu Xi was startled by Hailin's sudden movements, and for the first time realized positively that this world had the ability to exist beyond human strength.

Although Village Chief Lu Li is also a low-level elemental warrior, he has never performed acrobatics in front of Lu Xi, this is the first time Lu Xi has seen the "power of the elements".

Hailin noticed Lu Xi's reaction, but she didn't care, she just glanced at Lu Xi with a smile, and strode back, without interacting with Lu Xi at all.

Until Hai Lin's figure disappeared, Lu Xi was still looking at the direction she left, and Ayina was already sweeping the sawdust wood blocks on the floor with something, noticing Lu Xi's reaction, and couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Lucy, what's wrong with Miss Helen?"

"It's fine." Lu Xi shook his head and took a step back, allowing Ayina to better clean up the ground.

She just suddenly found that Hailin's attitude towards "her" didn't seem to be right, or that she didn't have a clearer understanding of the relationship between mercenaries and nobles.

"Why do you call her Madam?" Lu Xi suddenly thought of this question, when Ayina introduced her to her yesterday, he was talking about the mercenary master, but when he met the real person, he didn't say so.

"Ahem." Ayina was a little embarrassed, "Ms. Hailin, they don't like the master's name, so let me call them Mr. and Madam." ”

This is interesting, Lu Xi thought thoughtfully, the word "lord" usually refers to nobles, and the resistance of these mercenaries to the salutation means that they are not in the camp of "nobles", they are more inclined to commoners, but they are not real commoners.

So, there exists another class in this world besides the nobility and commoners - mercenaries?

No, no, no, it shouldn't be a mercenary, it should be - "Elemental Warrior" and "Elemental Mage".

Outside of secular power, a class laid down by extraordinary power may be intertwined with the class of the aristocracy and the commoners, but in some respects it can guarantee its own purity.

"I've packed up, Miss Lucy, where are you going to go today?" Aina's voice woke up Lu Xi who was thinking.

"What's interesting?" Lu Xi smiled and kicked the choice back into Ayina's hands, she just wanted to find Ayi's words, it didn't matter where she went.

"Miss Lucy, would you like to go to the tavern across the street?" McTon will tell a lot of stories! Ayina excitedly gave Luxi Amway.

I'm afraid you want to listen to the story, Lu Xi didn't refuse, and nodded, "Okay." ”

As soon as Lu Xi was about to walk out of the door, two people walked in at the gate, one in front and one behind, and the tall man who was almost two meters in front of him covered the door tightly at once, and the shadow hit Lu Xi, bringing a heavy sense of oppression.

Lu Xi almost thought that it was Village Chief Lu Li who appeared here, but when he looked up, he looked at each other, and it was a strange young man.

The young man's skin is much whiter than that of Luli Village, but he doesn't look very old, he is only twenty-three or fourteen years old, he doesn't look very good-looking, but he is thoughtful enough, but he can scare the children of half the village who cry with a frowning and cold face.

He was wearing a set of metal armor, which added a bit to his burly figure, and the traces on it were no less than the leather armor on Ms. Hailin's body.

Lu Xi blinked, realizing that the other party should be a member of the mercenary group, but before he could think about what he should react, he saw this person take a step to the side, and took the lead in giving up his position to Lu Xi, and even the person behind him also took a step sideways.

Lu Xi looked over, and the young man had already withdrawn his gaze from her, so Lu Xi nodded at the young man, whispered "thank you", and walked out.

"Mr. Clyde, Mr. White, you're back." Ayina greeted warmly, "The shelf has been polished, and Ms. Hailin has just taken it to the backyard." ”

Lu Xi looked back, and was caught off guard and looked at White behind Clyde.

White looks a little older than Clyde, twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his height should only be more than one meter eighty, which is a head behind Clyde, and he looks a little handsome, and he is the kind of person who likes girls.

He was also wearing leather armor, but there were not many marks on it, as if he was not very likely to be injured and fight.

Lu Xi was looking at White, and he suddenly showed a friendly smile at Lu Xi and winked mischievously.

"White." Clyde had eyes on his back, and he didn't need to look back to know what White was doing.

White shrugged his shoulders at Lu Xi, showed a helpless expression, obediently turned around, and walked into the house.

"Coming, coming, boss."

In the room, Ayina had already finished explaining the matter and said goodbye to Clyde.

Clyde nodded faintly, watching both figures walk away before retracting his gaze.

"This is what the village said yesterday, the wandering noble lady, she is really beautiful, I believe half of her appearance, she must be a nobleman." White pinched his chin and sighed.

"Civilians can't raise such a beautiful girl."

Clyde glanced over, "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business." ”

However, in his mind, he recalled the scene when Lu Xi whispered "thank you" to him just now, obviously wearing civilian clothes, but he didn't look like a civilian.

But he is not like a nobleman, he has never seen a nobleman who knows such politeness, and the "etiquette" of the nobles has always been used only on the nobles.

"It's done, it's done." White said a perfunctory sentence and opened a new topic, "Boss, you said she must be going home, should we take an escort mission and send her back by the way." ”

"Don't look for trouble, be careful of extraneous branches, 'that' thing hasn't been solved yet." Glaring at White, Clyde opened his mouth in warning.

"It's really incomprehensible." White shook his head, "That's a noble lady in distress, if you can seize this opportunity and 'befriend' with a noble lady, you don't have to worry about wealth and wealth for the rest of your life, why do you need to do these things here." ”

"I said, boss, you really haven't considered finding a rich woman?"

"Get out!"

……

Old Kert's tavern looked much more like a restaurant than a restaurant, with five or six sets of tables and chairs in the center of the room, a large bar counter on the wall near the doorway, and a row of cabinets behind it with some empty wine bottles.

"Empty?" Lu Xi repeated.

"Empty." Ayina nodded, "Old Kett was always worried that someone would come to steal the wine, but he didn't think that the bottles on the shelves didn't look like a tavern, so there were empty bottles there. ”

Lu Xi glanced at the door that was not tightly closed, and could understand Lao Kete's worries very well.

Probably because of the morning, there was no one in the tavern, not even the owner of the shop.

"Strange? It shouldn't be nobody. Ayina was puzzled, and then suddenly clapped her palms, "I almost forgot, there is going to be a bonfire tonight, and Old Kett should be preparing the wine for the evening." ”

Then he looked at Lu Xi with a slight apology, "I'm sorry, Miss Lucy, I forgot about it." ”

"It's okay." Lu Xi shook his head, paused, and asked, "You shouldn't be able to afford a bar in Viguli Town in your village, where did the wine come from?" ”

"It was made by Old Kert himself, who had been an apprentice in a tavern in the town of Viguli in his youth." As for how he was kicked out of town, Ayi Na didn't say, it was a story older than his father became the head of Kuwa Village.

"My father taught people to grow Liangguo, and Lao Kete made wine from Liangguo."

"But the mercenaries came to drink it once, saying that it tasted different from the wine they drank, but that's what we've been drinking." Ayina scratched her head.

Perhaps the wine-making methods that Old Kett had learned before had long been forgotten by him, and these wines were just things he had made up blindly, but this was what they had always drunk in their village, so for them, how could they not count as wine.
