Chapter 10: The Infidels
"What!?, you said you were going to raise the mercenary level to ten, and if I'm not mistaken, you're not a mercenary yet, are you?" exclaimed Arthur.
Gila was embarrassed and said, "This is a bet between my father and me." Then he said to Arthur with a sincere expectation: "Arthur, you must help me this time, you also want to soak my sister!
Arthur clenched the wine glass in his hand and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Do you know what level 10 is? Do you see this Lord of Abel sitting here next to you? If you have this task, you can barely reach level 10 as long as you kill her, and if you add me, this number will be doubled! Kill the two dragons." I don't want to doubt your father's character, so I have to insult your intelligence, and it's stupid for you to make this bet with him!"
Gila knew it was almost an impossible task, but she still pinned her hopes on Arthur, this guy always had a way. But seeing Arthur say this, and looking at Abel with an interesting look on his face next to him, it has the meaning of "you can try it!". couldn't help but bow his head in frustration, yes, this bet was stupid, but he couldn't accept it.
But Arthur suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't worry, there will be a way, nothing is impossible!" After eating, let's go register a mercenary team, now it's important to choose a name, I've already thought of one, it's called the Dragon King mercenary team, it's okay, Booma is also going to participate!"
Gila immediately scoffed at the name, which resembled "Tiger", indicating that Violet was a little more catchy. And then it's a noisy fight, hitting each other.
At night, at a stall outside a tavern in the capital of the arts, several men laughed, argued, and gulped down wine, and at the end, everyone was drunk. Hona insisted on singing another war song, and was smashed on the head by a wine glass from Gola. In the end, Arthur took out the tooth sword he made and gave it to Booma, who turned his anger into joy, and then Gola, who was already completely drunk, had another wine glass......
Able smiled, feeling slightly drunk. Looking at the few psychic warlocks, druids, orc warriors, well, and her dragon drinking and playing together without barriers, I suddenly felt a little incredible. Look at Arthur, who has already begun to talk nonsense, maybe it is the charm of this man! That poem is really good! When the heroes awaken from the cradle of iron, what kind of heroes will these people be in the future?
The next day several people did not get up until noon, and Gila cried out in pain because his father had only given him a year. I hurriedly went to register the team, and the name was finally settled on the "Hero's Heart" team that Abel had taken.
Standing in the mercenary hall of the capital of art, there are many small tables with different mercenary squads, all of whom are waiting for tasks, but when they leave one by one, Arthur and the others do not move, it is not that there are no employers to come up, but those tasks are too ridiculous! Find cats, catch thieves...... It will take about a hundred years to do these tasks to level 10! But with their level, high-level tasks will not come to the door at all, in mercenaries, level is strength, and level is reputation. It's the task of catching the thief, and it is estimated that it depends on the beauty of Guila.
Arthur finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Let's go, find this guy Abel and let him send us a task!"
The drowsy Honla naturally had no opinion, and the anxious Gola who was almost about to take on the task of catching the thief also nodded again and again.
Abel was still asleep and woke up a little annoyed when he was disturbed by these noisy guys. After listening to their unfortunate experience in the afternoon, my mood was slightly better. However, Able did not disappoint them, and said with a smile: "Recently, there has not been much peace in the city, and it seems that there is a small sect called the Heavenly Body that is messing around, so you can go and crack down." ”
"Why are you smiling so strangely?" and Arthur immediately said, "Hey, what's our reward!"
Hona was very happy to have the opportunity to fight, and at this moment he held the white sword in his hand lightly, as if looking at his own child, since he got this sword, he has often been in this state of dementia. He had never encountered such a suitable weapon in his life, and the forging of orcs was too backward. When Arthur gave him the sword, he hesitated for a long time, accepting the favor of others was heavy for an orc, but the white light was too seductive, and Arthur's smile was too sincere. made him feel that if he didn't take this sword, he wouldn't give face to his friends, so he finally accepted it.
Able immediately put away his smile and said, "What's so strange, I'm doing you a favor! Or maybe it's just three gold coins. ”
Arthur angrily slapped the table and stood up, "What? Three gold coins! Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Able yawned lazily and said, "This mission will probably have a lot of merits, but it is necessary to increase the level of your team!"
Guila hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Forget it, forget it, I have money." Arthur hated that iron could not be made of steel, and glanced at the second ancestor next to him, he was too good at bargaining. I can only come up with my own killer idea. Arthur slams half of Hamlet on the table. It was translated from memory by using the soul area during this time.
Able passed the manuscript at a speed that no one could see, and then flipped the book from beginning to end, smiling and saying to Arthur, "The book is still the same, and your reward is a hundred." Since Shakespeare's works were well suited to theatrical performances, Eve was rehearsing Romeo and Juliet for the Spring Festival. It can be predicted that this drama will become the new popularity. Then a large amount of income will pour into his treasure trove.
Arthur said unceremoniously: "Three hundred, otherwise the eunuch, ahem, just don't write!"
Able laughed, "Three hundred is three hundred, but if you dare not write, do you know what will happen to you?" Arthur's heart was cold, knowing that no matter what world he was in, eunuchs were the most hated, and the reader in front of him was obviously not a vegetarian.
Finally, with the relevant information, the three of them left the city lord's mansion, and Arthur walked proudly in the middle, next to the adoring eyes of Kira and Honla, who increased a hundred times, and got three hundred gold coins from the miser of Abel. Of course, Gila admires Arthur's talent for art more, while Booma is more interested in that kind of magical technique.
But in the end, the two couldn't stand Arthur's arrogance, and when they crossed a small bridge, they looked at each other, grabbed Arthur's arms, and threw him into the river. The two of them laughed together as they looked at Arthur who had fallen into the river. Arthur smiled slightly and walked out unconcernedly, and a spell instantly evaporated all the moisture on his clothes. The passers-by next to him couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it.
Later, in the capital of art, three people crossed the bridge together, and suddenly threw the middle person into the river, and the person who fell into the river smiled slightly and walked out without mind. Become the new pop. Of course, the faces of the people who fell into the river were more like convulsions than smiles. Later, when the river was swollen during the rainy season, an unlucky ghost was thrown into the river and washed away, and the curses before he disappeared were deafening. In the end, the art capital formed the custom of three people not crossing the bridge side by side. No one knows how this custom came about, and the old people say that it is unlucky for three people to cross the bridge side by side.
There are no decent mercenary groups in the capital of art, and although the mercenary level of Arthur's three is zero, their strength is definitely superb. Except for the dragon Able, who can basically walk sideways in the city. However, considering that Boomra's image is too weird, Gola casts an image-changing spell to make Booma look like a very strong human. It's just a trick of deception, easily seen through by the powerful, and fundamentally different from Arthur's transfiguration.
On the twisting road of the art capital, I walked to a small corner of the art city that no one cared about. The house is gorgeous, with all kinds of carvings, and even the doors are decorated with metal flowers. However, in this city, there are probably no unusual houses.
Guira vetoes Arthur and Boom and kicks in the door to find the leader's idea of torture to extract a confession. Knocking softly on the door, the knocking sound seems to contain some kind of peculiar rhythm, so that the most unpolite host cannot feel disturbed. It was a perfect combination of the aristocratic education that Gila received from childhood and his musical talent. Arthur couldn't help but marvel.
Etiquette is not a tedious matter that is extremely detailed, but a natural habit that is incorporated into every small act. When you really understand etiquette, then you don't need to pursue etiquette, you are etiquette itself. Even breaking the norm can make people feel so free and natural. It's like no elf learns everyday etiquette, but no one finds an elf rude. They can't even be angry with their contempt.
One eye glanced through the cat's eye on the door, and then the door opened.
Kira was immediately stunned, even if it was a sharp sword stabbed out and a flying magic, it couldn't surprise him so much. Because it turned out to be a woman, and it was a naked woman. This woman, who was still a little beautiful, looked at Gila with a charming face. It seems that his wife has been waiting for his husband who has not returned for a long time, and kindly makes Arthur and Hona next to him wonder if this is Guila's former concubine.
Gila stammered a little to show her intentions, but the woman had already stretched out her arm and pulled him into the room. He also turned his head and smiled at the somewhat sluggish Arthur and Boom, and his eyes swept across Boom's chest muscles and the bulge under his crotch. Of course, Booma doesn't have any hope for a human being, he sees everyone the same, and he can't even tell the difference between beauty and ugliness. It's just that his capital is too strong, and wearing tight pants is such an effect.
Arthur had to admit that he had been neglected, and that his human appearance was inferior to Gila in terms of beauty, and that he was inferior to Booma in terms of capital. It made him want to crouch in the corner and draw circles.
But when it comes to heretics, then it is inevitable that it will be a big battle, no matter how strong or weak, the other party will rush towards you frantically, so Arthur has long been prepared for a bloody battle. But Arthur soon saw another kind of heathen, and it was a situation that he didn't know what to do. Arthur suddenly understood the smile on the corner of Abel 's mouth.
Exegesis:
Mercenary: A lot of combat class options, which are very risky, but also have good returns. It's just that very few mercenaries choose to be a mercenary forever, and when they are strong enough, they usually choose to join a large organization (such as a country) to get a job. If you haven't amassed enough power or wealth during your mercenary career. Then the mercenary's evening scene will be very sad. The injuries and illnesses left behind by the adventurous career hit and there was no money for treatment, so they could only die a miserable death.
Mercenary Squad: Few mercenaries will act independently, and proper organization is the best guarantee of mission success and their own safety. Mercenary squads are generally registered with the mercenary union, with the lowest level being zero and the highest level ten. As the level of the squad increases, so does the level of each member. Of course, this requires the accumulation of a large number of tasks, and each mission success increases the merit. Failure of a mission does not reduce merit, because most of the results of mission failure are the destruction of the squad.
Mercenary Group: It can be said that it is a larger mercenary squad. It's just that in this era, mercenary groups are often another method of noble recruitment. Completing missions is basically not about making money, but about keeping the mercenary group balanced.
Mercenary Guild: The core organization of mercenaries, the founder is unknown, headquartered in Shabak, and the current president is Iragon. However, the mercenary union does not have command over the mercenaries, but is only an intermediary agency. Theoretically, yes.
Dream Storyteller: The latter words are all thousands of words away, and they should not cost money, so they are not considered to make up words. It is also necessary to let you have an understanding of the world without affecting the text. I'll try to write the notes as far as I can in the future. Finally, ask for a ticket!
In the end, I found that the upload was wrong and I was sweating. But so be it!
