Chapter 148: A Mysterious Mandate (1)
The stalker shrugged his head and explained helplessly: "I said, this was all half a year ago, and you still don't know if you are messing around here?"
It was still the captain of the team, Giravogi, he was a little embarrassed at this time, his face was a little flushed, and he was obviously a little embarrassed and said: "You don't know, although we were originally a local team, the four of us have been here for a long time." ”
Looking at the disbelief on the face of the new stalker, Giravogi's face became even more embarrassed, and he continued to explain: "But some time ago, about half a year ago, we received a task to escort a batch of supplies to the capital, because the pay was very good, so we also took this task and set off immediately. ”
The Stalker interrupted, "But it shouldn't take long to get to the capital from here, even if you count the inconvenience of transporting those goods, it will only be more than a month at most to be able to go back and forth." Why did you spend half a year, you can't continue to do tasks in the capital, right? The tasks in the capital are not easy to accept, they are all monopolized by those super big teams, and small teams like you should not be able to receive tasks, right?"
Giravoji smiled, didn't mind the stalker's rude interruption, and continued: "That's not true, we poor ghosts in the capital don't dare to stay long, we don't know if we don't go, the prices there are scary, where to stay in the worst hotel for a day, you can stay here for at least three or five days, you really can't stay." ”
"And where did you waste the remaining five months?" stalker scorned.
Giravoj continued: "Although we did not stay in the capital for long, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we have no intention of returning anytime soon. ”
After a pause, the orc captain showed a reminiscent expression and continued: "When we first arrived in the capital, we didn't plan to stay for long, after all, we were not familiar with the various ways there, and it was easier to mix here in Banji. But after we finished the task, suddenly the consignee appointed by the client introduced us to a mysterious person, because he was covered in a cloak, he couldn't see his appearance and figure clearly, and his voice was very neutral, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman. The more the orc spoke, the more mysterious it became, and the deliberately low voice made his words very attractive.
The Stalker had been deeply attracted by the Orc Captain's 'story' at this time, and as for the ridicule he had just given them, he had temporarily thrown it aside, and he was listening intently to the Orc Captain's 'story' at this time.
The other three parties found that there were even a few curious guys around them, and they had already focused their attention here. I didn't think the captain had a talent for storytelling, and I never found out. That was the thought of the three men.
If the orc captain knew what they were thinking, he would have replied to them: 'You fellows who have never seen the world, don't you know that your captain and I, who were known as the king of stories, were the only way to entertain me at the time, and even our Wing Captain's Excellency came to listen to my stories. If it weren't for the fact that storytelling is not enjoyable, I would not have been a mercenary, and would have been a great bard a long time ago. However, with his appearance, he probably would not be an elegant bard.
At that time, after the consignee introduced the mysterious man, he left with the goods. Next, the mysterious man made a commission to us. It was also a shipment of goods destined for an unknown town in the eastern part of the kingdom. It's a well-known local leisure town, and many of the big nobles in the neighborhood go there for vacation, but it has nothing to do with us. Gilawagui paused and licked his lips, and the stalker handed over a glass of ale with a very good look, and the orc poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth with satisfaction, wiped his mouth, and continued.
"We were going to refuse, because the capital is a little far away from the town to the east, and at least a little more than a month has passed back and forth. And we are a little physically and mentally exhausted after a long journey, and we don't want to take on the task of the long journey anymore. But the mysterious man came up with something, and we agreed. ”
At this point, the Stalker interjected at the right time, "What is that? It must be a good thing." ”
The orcs looked satisfied, the stalker was very professional, and he couldn't reach this level without years of practice, and it was clear that the stalker was also a character of this type in the previous team.
The orc Gila Voji breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Of course, it's not good enough, and we won't promise it, it's a whole bag of gems." There was a gasp around him, and it was obvious that everyone was shocked, this mysterious man was really generous.
The orc captain continued, "Although those gems are small-grained, and the color and luster are not of the highest quality, and they are only a small bag, which is not a lot. But these are enough, even a small bag of gems like that is enough for us to be comfortable for half a year. You know, although these small gems can't be made into jewelry, they are magic materials that magicians are very fond of, and any magician is willing to pay a lot of money to buy them. ”
Looking at the few people around him nodding their heads continuously, he nodded with satisfaction. He had already noticed that someone was eavesdropping, but he didn't mind, because after all, they had completed the task, and the gems had been sold and the gold coins had been deposited in the bank, and they would not fight their minds again, and they could not do anything about it.
He took another sip of ale, moistened his throat, and continued: "Since he has given us such a good reward, we naturally will not push the money we have out. And he also said that these are just deposits, and we will be given a considerable honorarium afterwards. However, he asked us not to look through the goods delivered privately, and he would send someone to track the whole delivery process. These are all as they should be, and we won't be nosy. ”
"We all know that the things that are being transported are very dangerous or very valuable, but we don't care about any of that. After all, our daily work is also accompanied by danger, and such a high-paying task will naturally be accompanied by high risks. Of course we know that, and we don't bother ourselves, I haven't lived enough. The orc captain continued to speak to himself.
