Chapter 57: The First Commission
As the city lord of Silver Mountain City, how could he let go when he suddenly learned that such a strong person had appeared. However, Zhilu said that this person was related to Fang Qiubai in front of him, at least his eyes were no longer black, so he said a few words and said goodbye to Fang Qiubai to pass on the news.
Fang Qiubai, who was abandoned by Alexander, walked out of the City Lord's Mansion speechlessly, and went to the Church of Light where Soros was located according to his original purpose.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the place, I was told by a priest that the bishop was now listening to God's will. Fang Qiubai, who had eaten a closed door, could only helplessly return to the mercenary group.
"Speaking of which, what kind of trouble is such a monotonous day going to be? If you don't do something fun, my brother will go crazy," Fang Qiubai muttered to himself.
It had only been a short time since he came to the other world, Fang Qiubai had already felt the monotony of life, and he couldn't imagine how Illya had endured this boring life for many years and fought for her ideals.
"It's so boring, I want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, I want a hero to save beauty, I want the wheels of history to roll. Fang Qiubai fantasized wildly in his mind.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the mercenary group, he saw Illya trotting over with Nana. Nana's empty hand grabbed Fang Qiubai's palm and looked at him with a giggle.
"I'm looking for you. Illya looked at Nana's actions, smiled and said to Qiu Bai.
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to call the shots about anything?" Fang Qiubai touched Nana's head and said to Illya with a smile.
"Just now a caravan came to the door to entrust an escort mission. Illya explained to Fang Qiubai.
"This is a good thing, only with a mission can the mercenary group have the momentum for development. Fang Qiubai felt that this matter was very good, and he didn't understand what Illya needed to think about herself.
As the three of them walked towards the inner courtyard, Illya explained in detail: "Our mercenary group has just been established, and except for Uncle Bruce and a few of his old mercenaries, no one else has been exposed to this kind of relatively large mission. There were more than thirty people in the entire caraport, and the goal was the Blue Sword Fort, which was more than 1,000 kilometers away. Not to mention the long distance, the biggest problem is to pass through a desert that is no smaller than the Forest of Illusions - the Desert of Famine. ”
"It's just a desert, why don't you bring more water and food?" Fang Qiubai wondered.
"The Famine Desert is the same as the Forest of Illusions, there are all kinds of powerful magical beasts in it, and there are robbers from time to time, this kind of task was only dared to be taken by the Thunderwolf Mercenary Group in the past, and every time it is the elite, and if you are unlucky, you will lose a lot of people. Illya pointed out the difficulty of the task.
"The two leaders of the Thunderwolf Mercenary Regiment are also level 6, right? Now we have Rudolph at level 6, and Uncle Kano is almost level 6, right? Aren't they all level 5? In terms of strength, there are so many of us, we are not worse than them. Fang Qiubai counted with his fingers.
"But there are only more than 20 people in our inner courtyard plus those knights, although there are 150 newcomers, but their strength is still a little insufficient. "Illya's headache is the serious shortage of manpower, what if she takes over the task and there is an accident. And the first time I met Lu and saw such a task, it seems that it is unreasonable.
"I see, why don't you just call Yagami or Lina, they can just top 50 of them......" Fang Qiubai spread his hands and said lightly.
"You idiot, the mercenary group can't always rely on them, can it? Illya pointed at Fang Qiubai's forehead with a funny smile, reminding the other party.
Nana clapped her hands when she saw Illya's movements, and jumped to indicate that she wanted it too. Fang Qiubai had no choice but to pause helplessly, and let Nana poke her forehead with her fingers in the same way.
"Well, let Lena follow them secretly, and don't make a move until the critical time, right? It can be said that Lena has been doing this before, and she is not afraid of any accidents. Fang Qiubai thought of a compromise.
"Well, that's okay, after deducting 10 knights, there are 12 people in the inner court, and choosing some good newcomers in the outer court to fill up 30 people should be enough, just enough to train them. Illya thought for a moment, and the other party Qiubai said.
Then she smiled playfully: "But it's not them, I'll go this time." ”
"Then I'll go too. Fang Qiubai grabbed Illya's hand and blurted out.
Seeing Fang Qiubai's movements, Nana covered her eyes with her two hands, and blushed and peeked through her fingers.
"You can't go, you have to manage the mercenary group well and wait for me to come back. Illya refused gently but firmly.
"You know that I'm not good at these things, besides, why do you want to go on an adventure in person, or let Uncle Bruce lead the team, you stay, or stay Uncle Bruce, let's go together?" Fang Qiubai said a long paragraph in a hurry.
"I'm the head of the regiment, and I can't be absent from this first mission. And what if you don't leave only your uncle behind, what if something happens to the mercenary group?" Illya asked rhetorically.
"Isn't there still Xia Na Yagami Zhuge Liang?" Fang Qiubai immediately added.
"But what if you're not there, what if you see something that needs you to be the master? Yagami and they only listen to your orders. And uncle, he's not good at dealing with that. Illya looked at Fang Qiubai with a nervous face in front of her with a smile.
"Then I'll let Yagami and them all listen to Uncle Bruce, right?" Fang Qiubai was like a child who would not give up until he reached his goal.
"Don't make a fuss, it's not that I've been out for too long, it's just a little more than a month back and forth, and I hope to see more magical changes in the mercenary group when I come back." Illya held Fang Qiubai's hand tightly in the palm of her hand, and looked at Fang Qiubai with tenderness in her eyes, Fang Qiubai couldn't help but blushed and turned her head away.
"Add Xana to the team, it's just right to train her. Fang Qiubai lost to Illya's tender offensive, and then thought that the current Xia Na's strength was not too strong, so he simply counted her by the way.
Illya originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Fang Qiubai's resolute eyes, she could only nod in agreement, but she still asked curiously: "Xana is very strong, do you still need to exercise?"
"Xana, she's not too strong herself, but don't underestimate her, she's full of equipment that can be called an artifact, and there is a real demon god to guide her, and her potential is also very great, you guys, I'm also relieved." Fang Qiubai said.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm already level 4. Illya clenched her fists and shook them in front of Fang Qiubai.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoya is amazing, everyone knows the way, okay?" Fang Qiubai echoed, and then his tone changed: "But you still have to be careful." ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll go and confirm with the client. Illya waved her hand angrily and led Nana outside.
For his mission, not only the regiment commander was dispatched, but also a hidden master guard, which cheapened him. Fang Qiubai shouted from behind, causing Illya to laugh.
Fang Qiubai watched Illya leave, thought about it for a while, and decided to inform Xia Na first.
Saying his plan, Arastel first said: "This matter is good, when you come to this world, Xiana has not really fought, and she can just meet an opponent who is different from the Red World Demon King." ”
"Well, since Arastel has said so, I'm fine. Shana replied as if it wasn't her business, brandishing her sword.
"Xana, you must protect Xiaoya when the time comes. Fang Qiubai glanced left and right a few times, and said in Xia Na's ear.
"Is that woman important to you?" Xana's tone barely fluctuated.
"Of course it's important. Fang Qiubai replied without thinking.
"Okay, I'll pay attention. Xana nodded in agreement.
"Of course, Xana, you are also important, so be sure to take care of your own safety. Looking at Xia Na, who was wielding the sword repeatedly, Fang Qiu's white ghost envoy added.
"No Road Race!" Xia Na blushed and slashed at Fang Qiubai.
Seeing the menacing knife, Fang Qiubai reflexively waved his hand and summoned a spatial shield to block it in front of him, wiping a cold sweat and escaping from the room. Behind him came the deep laughter of Arastel with inexplicable meaning.
"Now, Arastle, he says we're important too. Xana said as she looked down at the pendant on her chest.
"What does it feel like to be cared for?" there was a moment of silence before Alastel's voice rang out in the room.
"Well, it's not bad."
