Chapter 06: The Nightingale's Bar
The "Blue Enchantress" is one of the three B-class mercenary groups in Huaolez City, and the entire mercenary group has more than 100 elite mercenaries.
The mercenary headquarters occupies a huge courtyard in the southern corner of the city, and there are nearly 100 houses in the courtyard of the third entrance.
The fat one-armed man took a few steps forward and hugged Keynes, "Welcome back alive!"
Keynes pushed the man away and punched him in the chest, "Randall, I won't die even if you die!
"Is this little guy an extra bonus for you, too?" Randall was the first to notice Arthur at the front of the orc team.
Keynes beckoned to Arthur and motioned for him to come forward, "Arthur was just a slave we rescued, and he followed us all the way when he had nowhere to go. This kid is very clever, and I think he might be able to help you. ”
Randall's face sank, "Although I am missing an arm, I am not a waste that needs to be taken care of by others, and I don't need you to find someone to take care of me!"
Keynes smiled a little embarrassedly, "Brother, you misunderstood, I didn't take him in to find someone to take care of you, but to see that you were working too hard, and let him help you run errands." ”
"Compared to how hard it is for me to take care of the logistics and finances at home compared to how hard you are out there, and we don't have spare money to hire a useless child. ”
"Uncle Randall, you let me stay, I'll do a lot of things, and I don't need money, just take care of the food. Arthur looked at Randall expectantly.
The world of mercenaries made little Arthur full of curiosity, and in just a few days he fell in love with this group of mercenaries.
In addition to Arthur, many mercenaries also looked at Randall, and all the way from the Orlando Mountains to the city of Huaorez, everyone except Tony liked Arthur's child. He always had a smile on his face and was very polite to everyone, and he was always rushing to do everything.
Randall deliberately kept his face calm, "Since you really have nowhere to go, the mercenary group will leave you as a good deed." Although you don't need money, as mercenaries, we believe that there must be an equivalent report for what you give, so your monthly reward is one silver coin. ”
"Cut!" many of the mercenaries booed Randall with disdain.
In the Terran realm, copper coins and silver coins are the currencies used by ordinary people every day, and there are gold coins and crystal coins with higher value on top of them, but the vast majority of people may not have seen crystal coins in their lives. The exchange ratio between them is one to one hundred, and the price of one catty of rice is generally about twenty copper coins.
The reason why the mercenaries booed was because Randall was so stingy that the cheapest hired man in the Isaac Kingdom would not be paid less than ten silver coins a month. The Blue Enchantress mercenaries are paid 50 silver coins per month, and this is only a small part of their income, and the main source of income for the mercenaries is the commission for missions. Randall hired a laborer for only one-fiftieth the price.
"Thank you, Uncle Randall, you're such a nice man!" Arthur looked excited, he had no idea about money now, and he hadn't even had money before.
Arthur's sincere thanks provoked a burst of laughter from the mercenaries.
Randall's fat face was also slightly red, but he yelled loudly, "You bastards, what are you still doing standing here? Hurry up and move everything in, be careful that I deduct your salary this month!"
"Come on, leave these boys alone, let's discuss what to do with these little orcs. Keynes led Randall into the courtyard.
No matter what time of year, it is a happy and exciting thing to go home, and the mercenaries disperse after entering the courtyard. Arthur was left alone.
"Come with me, I'll arrange a place for you to live first, wash it well, and then take you to buy clothes and shoes. Adeline's melodious voice rang out just in time.
Arthur still dressed in the orc camp, wearing a pair of shiny fur trousers, a large soft leather armor, unkempt hair, and bare feet. Arthur realized that his image was out of place in the current environment, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Sorry, come with me, you're going to surprise them!" Adeline giggled. Since meeting this child, she seems to be in a very good mood all the way.
......
Nightingale Bar, one of the favorite places of the mercenaries of the city of Huaorez.
The boss Nightingale used to be a mercenary, and was a well-known two-handed swordsman who attracted countless suitors when he was young. After getting married, she opened this bar, but the amorous female swordsman has now become a fat middle-aged woman, and the man she chose among the many suitors back then did not know that she died in the woman's bed. It is also rumored that Nightingale killed his man and the woman he was cheating with.
Even though there is no longer a young face, the suitors of the year like to come here for a drink or two every time they come back from a mission, and gradually the young mercenaries like to run here.
Because of knowing the mercenaries, the strongest gin, the best barbecue, the most coquettish women, the Nightingale Bar has everything that mercenaries like.
In one corner of the bar, Tony, Angus, and four of the Blue Enchantress mercenaries are drinking around a large square oak table filled with roast and malt wine glasses.
Tony had obviously drunk too much, his face was flushed, and his tongue was a little curled, "I'm telling you, you're a woman who hasn't been to an orc, that's enough!"
"Brother Tony, you must have been on it before, tell us the details. A young mercenary with freckles on his face urged eagerly.
The other three mercenaries were also full of anticipation, waiting to hear Tony continue.
Tony first sandwiched a piece of meat and poured a large sip of wine, deliberately hanging the appetite of a few young mercenaries.
"Tony was on a reconnaissance mission and was accidentally captured by a beargirl...... Angus suddenly took Tony's words and continued.
Tony stood up suddenly, and the wine he hadn't swallowed squirted out in one gulp, and it was spraying Angus in the face, "Don't listen to his nonsense!"
"Yo, isn't this little Tony of the Blue Enchantress? Even thieves have money to drink?"
As a strange yin and yang voice suddenly sounded, a tall, thin and feminine-looking man pushed the door and walked in.
The man was also dressed as a mercenary, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a large red gem on the hilt of the sword was particularly eye-catching, and there were seven or eight mercenaries behind him.
As these people walked in, the lively atmosphere in the bar instantly dropped to freezing point.
Tony turned around with a smile, "It turned out to be the 'blood-piercing' Deputy Head of Tracey, our Blue Enchantress has just made a lot of money, just invite Deputy Head Tracey for a drink." ”
Tony's words immediately erupted in laughter in the bar.
Tristi, the deputy head of the Bloodpiercing Mercenary Regiment, one of the three B-class mercenary groups in Huaorez City, was deliberately called by Tony as a feminine "Tracy", which was full of mockery.
Tristy's feminine face became even paler, and he said in a cold voice, "Maybe you've forgotten how your ribs were broken last time?"
"I almost forgot about that, I don't know if the injury on Captain Tracy's ass has healed?
"You are looking for death!" Cui Sidi's body suddenly erupted with a strong fighting spirit.
Angus, Tony, and the others all stood up, and the conflict between the two B-class mercenary groups was on the verge of breaking out......
