Chapter 204: News of Julia and Toussente
Julia is a Covel in her twenties, because this country has been called the country of mercenaries since hundreds of years ago, and the entire country's army is even replaced by several large mercenary groups, so in that country, becoming a mercenary is a very common thing, but it is a desirable thing.
And this lady is a serious military talent who graduated from the military academy, but because she is not very old now, and she has not been in the mercenary world for a long time, she has not developed and grown, and now she is leading a small mercenary group of less than thirty people.
After the two sides met, they just exchanged a few words of greeting and introduced themselves, and soon got to the point.
Julia is of medium to high appearance, with small breasts but a tall build.
She was very polite, and her appearance was obviously well groomed, and the two strong men who followed her looked a little rough, one with a bald head, the other with short hair, and some mud on his face.
But this is also normal, in the Middle Ages there were no good things such as shampoos, hair is too long and easy to get lice, difficult to take care of, and easy to get sick, so many men will choose to shave their heads or short hair, and shaving their heads will also make people feel less easy to mess with, which can reduce a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Wayne, let's get down to business, what is the task you hired us to accomplish? And how much do you get paid for the task? ”
Wayne showed a gentle smile on his face, then looked at the two men behind the little cat, and said bluntly:
"Miss Julia, I would like to talk to you alone, and as for whether you will tell your members later, it's up to you to decide."
Xiaomei frowned when she heard this, but she still glanced at the two strong men behind her, and the two of them left the house very obediently, obviously this mercenary captain is still quite prestigious in her own team.
After the two left, Wayne brought a pineapple honey cake from the kitchen and put it in front of the little beautiful cat, watching the originally quite capable mercenary subconsciously sniff, but he had to endure the appearance of pretending to be serious, he said with a smile:
"As I said in my letter, Miss Julia, this commission of mine is definitely the largest one you have ever received in your life, and one that will change your fate."
Seeing the female mercenary, frowning and looking disbelieving, Wayne didn't explain much, but continued to ask:
"Before I explain the commission, I want to know one thing, and that is Miss Julia, what do you think of the elves, dwarves, and other inhuman races, and to put it bluntly, do you hate them, or like them, or don't care about them."
Hearing Wayne's strange question, Julia thought cautiously for a while, because Wayne's appearance was now a complete human appearance, and she didn't know which side the opposite employer was leaning towards, so she answered honestly:
"I treat them as the same kind, it's not a hate, it's not a liking, but I don't discriminate against them, treat them as an outlier, in our kingdom of Corville, there are also some elves and dwarves who don't suffer too much rejection."
After hearing Julia's answer, Wayne nodded with satisfaction, this answer is more true, and the Kingdom of Corville is only mentioned in the original book and the game, and it is not too specific, but as a mercenary country, it must be more inclusive, Wayne is also quite curious about this country, and he will definitely have to go there when he has time in the future.
After getting the answer from the little beautiful cat, he coughed lightly and said in a serious tone:
"Miss Julia, my commission this time is not a combat mission in a sense, but a very meaningful rescue operation."
"As a mercenary, an experienced lady, you should be well aware of the position of the inhuman races in the northern kingdoms."
"And the task I have entrusted to you is to rescue these oppressed poor people and bring them to safety, and then I will send someone to escort them away."
Julia was stunned when she heard this, glanced at Wayne a little strangely, and asked in a low voice:
"Saving people?"
Wayne's expression remained unchanged, nodded, and said affirmatively:
"Yes, save people!"
"I don't limit the means by which you can carry out this commission, and only pursue the final result."
"Whatever means you use, whether it's rescuing them from the thugs, buying them from prison, or even deceiving them, kidnapping them."
"Men and women, young and old, as long as they are escorted to a safe location designated by me, I will give you a reward of eight crowns for each member of the elven race, and five crowns for each member of the other inhuman races."
"There is no limit to the number of tasks until I call them a stop, which means that if you can bring me 10,000 elves, you will get 80,000 kroner."
Hearing that the remuneration was so rich, Julia opened her mouth in some surprise, 80,000 crowns, this is an astronomical amount that she can't even think of, you know, the entire northern world, the largest mercenary money in thousands of years, hired tens of thousands of troops, won a very tragic war, and only spent more than a million crowns.
Wayne was very satisfied with Julia's surprised expression, although there are many kind people in this world, but things without benefits, even if someone is willing to do it, it is better to get more benefits and make people more motivated.
His commission this time highlights that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
"I'll pay you 100 kroner as start-up capital upfront, and I'll pay you another 300 kroner when the first batch of more than 50 people reaches the mission goal."
"Of course, this mission is a secret mission, although I won't say that it will be leaked, or that there will be any punishment if it is leaked."
"But you are a wise man, Miss Julia, and the more people know about it, the more vulnerable it is to obstruction, and the hostility of certain racists, and it is better for you to arrange for someone you trust to do it, and how to do it quickly and well, it is up to you to figure it out."
After listening to Wayne's commission, Julia immediately fell into deep thought, she didn't care why Wayne did it, this is not something that a mercenary needs to know, she is just thinking about whether the difficulty of this commission is proportional to the benefits, and whether it is worth her effort?
As for morality, extravagant things like principles are things that she will only think about later.
After thinking about it for about four or five minutes, Julia nodded at Wayne, then stretched out her hand and said:
"Mr. Wayne, after my careful consideration, our cat's paw mercenary group has taken over this commission of yours."
"However, for the sake of safety, we must sign a contract between us, and this matter is related to the future of the entire regiment, and we must make sure that nothing goes wrong."
Of course, Wayne had no opinion on this request, and after the two talked about some details, the little beautiful cat Julia took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
However, before leaving, she suddenly blushed and asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Wayne, can I take this cake with me?"
The appearance of the little gluttonous cat made Wayne almost laugh.
After Julia left, Francesca, who had been sitting by Wayne's wine cabinet, eavesdropping on the conversation and admiring the fine wine in the wine cabinet, slowly revealed her figure.
She looked at Wayne with appreciative eyes, and first said with praise:
"It's a very good idea, Wayne, using the human mercenary group to do this, it won't attract too much attention from others, and it can better achieve the goal."
"Perhaps, I should also find some trustworthy mercenary groups and let them help us rescue our people."
As she spoke, she said in a gentle voice with a slight warning:
"However, many humans cannot be trusted after all, and you have to pay attention to the details, and it is best not to let them associate you with Dante's identity."
"Don't appear to them in that person."
"Otherwise, it is very likely that it will bring you a lot of trouble for your current identity."
In the face of such a sincere proposal from the elven sorceress, Wayne said that he would take it to heart, and then the two talked about the elves, the warlock brotherhood, and how to save more elves in the future, and the two ended the visit.
Although the two sides now have a certain degree of cooperation and common goals, trust still needs more time to cultivate, and some words and some things will not be raised if the trust between them does not reach a certain level.
And before Francesca left, the sorceress also told Wayne an interesting news.
Currently, in the kingdom of Touscent in the south, several witchers are on a hunting mission, seemingly tracking a pterodactyl, and some people are injured, and these witchers are all from the south and are not members of the wolf school.
After hearing the news, Wayne asked the sorceress in a rather playful tone:
"Ma'am, you're really well-informed, Towson is so far away from here, you can get this information, or I am very concerned about the content, I am a little flattered."
Francesca covered her mouth and smiled, her beautiful face was pleasing to the eye, and she said in a modest tone:
"Thanks to your inspiration, Wayne, I've started recruiting some eyeliner in some obscure places to deliver some special news for me."
"As you said, humans are easily bought by money, and if you pay enough money, someone will do things for you."
"However, the one who let me know about the news from Towcente is one of my fellow sorceresses, Frigila Vigo, who is staying in the kingdom of Towson at this time."
"If you're going to be there soon, I can give you a letter of introduction, and ask the sorceress to give you some help you want."
When Wayne heard this, he didn't postpone it, but took the opportunity to say:
"Thank you for your help, ma'am, if not bothering."
………………
Over the next few days, Wayne and Little Cat discussed the details of the contract in detail, and finally signed a complete contract with legal effect after dinner on the third day.
After getting Wayne's first start-up capital, the energetic female mercenary did not delay, and immediately left Virgin with two of her subordinates, ready to join her team members and make a big fight.
Just like Wayne said, this commission is done well, and it is a task that is enough to change the fate of the entire mercenary group, and such an opportunity will not be missed by anyone with ambitions.
According to Wayne and Julia's plan, they will not start with the kingdom of Koldwin, which is the most strict against the non-human race, but will start from other countries, recruiting people while recruiting those non-human members who want to emigrate.
When Julia's cat's claw mercenary group grows and has enough manpower and force to ensure it, they will gnaw on those difficult bones again.
The first stop is the Kingdom of Temeria, where Julia is ready to start in the slums of Vigema, where a large group of inhuman races live in difficulty, numbering almost a thousand.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you get through the difficult initial stage and establish a set of effective work processes, it will be easier and more efficient to deal with such things in the future.
After settling the contract with Julia's cat's claw mercenary group, Wayne took the time to return to Middle-earth, and transported the pipe hall full of warehouses back to the wizarding world.
Fortunately, this tobacco is similar to fine wine, as long as it is within the expiration date, the longer it is stored, the more mellow the flavor will become, at least for a short time, Wayne does not have to worry about their storage.
After dealing with the trivial matters of Middle-earth and Virginma, Wayne also used a portal with the help of Francesca to instantly arrive at Tousent, which will be called the fairytale kingdom in the future.
In this magical country, there is not only a group of fellow demon hunters, but also a lot of things worth exploring, waiting for him.
