Chapter 5 Employment

Anyone would feel uncomfortable being watched by a circle of big men, and Jiang Lang, who woke up and opened his eyes, saw this scene. This is a dilapidated house. Although the spider webs have been roughly cleaned, the dust in the room still shows the fact that this place has long been abandoned by the original owner.

It took a long time for the vague brain to figure out what was going on, but in the face of such a situation, Jiang Lang didn't know what to say for a moment, but instead the other party spoke first.

"Gaia is here, Miss, you finally wake up."

The person who spoke was a man as strong as a bear. Although he was very rude to the person who extended a helping hand to him, Jiang Lang could only think of such an image and metaphor. Since the other party spoke, Jiang Lang immediately took over the topic.

"Well, how long have I been sleeping?"

"It's noon now. Compared to this, what I want to ask is whether your companion is nearby, too?"

"companion?"

Jiang Lang was stunned for a moment, wondering why the other party asked this question. However, this response made the people of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group a little confused. Naturally, they would not have thought that someone would come to the edge of the Blood Wasteland alone. You should know that this is a border with the Cold Land, and no one can tell what monsters they would encounter. Even if there are so many people in their Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, they have to be careful every step.

Jiang Lang looked at this time, not as a mercenary, but his luxurious silk robe looked more like a lady from a noble family. What increased the credibility of such speculation was that the other party had delicate skin and weak skin, obviously not a trained mercenary. If it weren't for this, even a twelve-year-old girl in this world had already experienced blood and fire.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous, but Miss, I wonder if we know your nobility?" Since the other party may be a nobleman, the leader of the Rukaka, who was considered a bear, also put away his mercenary temperament and asked in a slightly polite manner.

In fact, as the leader of a powerful mercenary group who often hand over tasks at the lord, Rukaka does not lack experience in dealing with figures like nobles. However, what satisfied Rukaka is that although he only spent a short time together, he could feel that the girl was not as arrogant as an ordinary noble lady.

He thought he was very polite to stretch out his hand, and Lukaka made a gesture to kiss his hands. This kind of etiquette is quite common among the nobles in this world, but his actions brought the look of a girl as if she was looking at a pest avoiding her.

Fortunately, Jiang Lang, who was being taken care of, did not make extreme moves, just shrank his hand behind his back, but this was enough to embarrass the leader who thought he was gentlemanly.

When asked about his name, although Jiang Lang's first reaction was to report the online name, she suddenly felt a sudden change in her heart. Instead of using Jiang Lang's strange online name, she remembered the name that she once manipulated the powerful name in this world. In order to make up for the green costume, even Barr had been tortured many times, let alone Memphisto and Big Pineapple. She used thunder's lightning to rule all demons, which was worthy of the name of "Sister Cannon"!

And since I came to this world again, maybe I shouldn't have changed that persistence and let the thunder gallop across this land again.

"Mikoto, my name is Misaka Mikoto."

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Lang moved his heart and opened the character panel. He found that the original column of "Name:??? (Unnamed)" was changed to "Name: Misaka Mikoto". At the same time, the unknown system sound came from his ears -

[Game'Mikoto Misaka, the character is established, the character has been bound and cannot be replaced. Reward system gift package*1]

The character was established? That is why she really started everything? But what made her care more about was the ‘system gift package’ mentioned by the voice.

Jiang Lang...or Mikoto looked around. Every time she rewarded potions and gold coins, these prizes would appear next to her out of thin air, but this time the so-called system gift package was missing.

He did not continue to search because Mikoto found that the man opposite had become strange when he looked at him. It was obvious that he was immersed in communicating with the system and ignored him, which made the other party ‘very hurt’.

"Sorry, did you say something just now, Mr. Bear... "Although..." Although I wanted to cover my mouth, the truth in my heart had already run out first, and Mikoto could only grin in embarrassment.

With a tiger-backed and bear-waisted figure, overly strong muscles, and a sloppy beard, the bear's description is indeed just right. Unlike Rukaka's dark face, the mercenaries around him want to laugh but dare not laugh, but they are so angry.

"Lukaka, this is my name, dear Miss Mikoto." As a mature man, of course, he would not have the same knowledge as the little girl. Rukaka, who comforted himself, coughed lightly and regained his own graceful demeanor. "I am frank, I don't know why you appeared alone in this wasteland, but this is the place of demon cursed. It is too dangerous for you to walk alone. Maybe you have heard of our "Silver Wolf Mercenary Group". If you can trust you and the brothers present, you can hire us to escort you back to Roger Camp."

Lukaka's self-recommendation is not abrupt. In this world, since it is called a mercenary, the mercenary groups often accept tasks from others. Of course, the so-called "others" are mostly nobles. After all, the compensation to be paid for mercenaries' services is something that ordinary people cannot afford. After identifying the status of Mikoto's nobleman, they originally had the intention to return to the camp, and making extra money by the way is also an unexpected fortune.

"Hot you?" Although I don't think that I am a level 2 mage now, I will encounter danger in the blood wasteland of the 'novice village', but I have had enough of walking alone in the wasteland. Of course, I will not have any objection to Rukaka's proposal, "But the commission..."

"Ah, please don't worry about this. If you don't carry coins with you, the commission can be paid by your family after returning to Camp Roger."

Mikoto naturally has no so-called family in this world. She thought for a moment and grabbed more than ten gold coins from her wallet. Although she didn't know how purchasing power of gold coins in this world, she has been fighting so many monsters so she has only received nearly 80 gold coins. According to the price she remembers, it is not enough to buy back the city books and appraisal books, so naturally she can't give her more money.

Although I was worried that these gold coins were too few, the next moment when I saw the other person, Mikoto realized that her worries were unnecessary.

In fact, looking at the golden light, Rukaka and the members of the group were already shocked by the other party's wealth and prosperity. The nobles are worthy of being nobles.

You should know that ordinary people in this world use copper coins. If you want a basin of barbecue and vegetables in a tavern, you can use a basin of barbecue to make some ale wine. The exchange rate of silver coins and copper coins fluctuates between 1:950 and 1:1100. In recent decades, because the mainland is still stable, mercenaries generally use 1:1000 for convenience. In fact, only profitable industries like mercenaries use silver coins as circulating currency. As for gold coins, this is a luxury that only nobles can use.

The exchange rates between gold coins and silver coins and copper coins are not certain, and there are often quite a few differences between different regions. After all, unless aristocrats, there are few gold coins in the general market, and the purchasing power is difficult to determine. It is more of a symbol of identity. But no matter what, it is certain that a gold coin can be exchanged for at least 100 silver coins when exchanged on the exchange.

At this moment, Mikoto took more than ten gold coins, equivalent to a huge sum of more than a thousand silver coins, which even exceeded all the income they made in the past month of adventure hunting the demons.

The brilliant gold coins were enough to shake their eyes in a daze. However, after hesitating for a moment, Rukaka did not take them all, but took three of them.

"Dear Miss, your generosity is surprising, but the honor of mercenaries does not allow us to forget our virtues because of greed. We have collected the rewards, and in the name of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group and the creed of the mercenaries, we will send you safely back to Roger camp, even if we pay the price of our lives. May the omniscient and omnipotent Gaia bless you."

This is Rukaka's answer, and although many of his members showed regret, no one raised any objections.

This time, it was surprisingly replaced by Mikoto. The mercenary industry is risking great dangers and even losing lives at any time. It is also a large bounty. Mikoto originally thought that they would give up the gold coins they received for the sake of money, but she did not expect that she would give up the gold coins they received.

Mikoto found that she still lacked understanding of the world as a mercenary.

In the sweeping of demons, the world is only desolate, but because of this, human beings cannot abandon the glorious virtues of human nature in the oppression of darkness, because this is the only way for them to maintain themselves and fight against demons.

If Diapolis in charge of fear, Barr in charge of destruction, and Mephisto in charge of hatred, if he is dominated by these negative emotions, human beings will also be dominated by them and fall into evil spirits, which is equivalent to a demon. The soul is maliciously controlled forever, which is a more terrible torture than death.

――

It was already noon. Although the demons in this world were not afraid of the sun, at least for humans, the daytime always made people feel safer and it was also a time to rush. If it weren't for Mikoto who was sleeping due to overwork, the mercenary group had already set off.

Now that the trip was delayed half because of the suspected aristocratic girl, the income from being able to add 3 extra gold coins is enough to make people swallow all the complaints.

"Dear Miss, if you don't mind, please get in the car. After all, we are still far away." After finishing the luggage, we were ready to set off. At this time, Rukaka sent an invitation to Mikoto. The very polite language was also a very touching invitation. After all, if you can take the car, I believe no one is willing to walk - but the premise is that it is not a corpse transport car.

The "car" Rukaka refers to is the three-wheeled cart with their opponent's trophy, with most of the carts of zombie heads and squid rat skins. There is only a small piece of narrow space that can accommodate - in fact, if you sit in it, it is absolutely impossible not to touch these corpses.

The person who was pushing the cart was an older man, who was in his forties or fifty years old. His back was not as strong as he was in combat. He felt a little out of place with the rest of the mercenary group. In Mikoto's impression, such a character would have to be a hidden boss if he was not cannon fodder. The man obviously belonged to the former. The reason why he could stay in the mercenary group was only because the mercenary group often had some dirty work. In fact, ordinary mercenary groups would have one or two such "logistics personnel".

This is not a bully. In fact, in many people's eyes, such "logistics" are all bad. They do not have to participate in dangerous battles, and they can get a much higher reward than civilians. Just follow the mercenary group for a lap, and you can get a salary calculated in silver coins in half a month. For most civilians who have no strength, this is really a good job to do, especially a powerful mercenary group like the "Silver Wolf". It is extremely lucky to be able to enter and become "logistics".

The man was nicknamed "hunchback". At this time, he was showing a smile that seemed to be a kind-hearted expression to Mikoto, but that mouthful of man's yellow teeth greatly reduced the effect of the smile.

"That... Commander Lukaka, I think I'd better leave by myself." Mikoto smiled awkwardly. Such a car would make people stand out when they looked at it, and she didn't have the courage to sit in it.

Rukaka said "hmm" without comment. Of course he knew why Mikoto was hesitant. Although most people in this world deal with monsters all year round, it is common for them to come into contact with these corpses, it is not surprising that little girls who are nobles will reject them.

Walking with a little girl will naturally slow down a lot - Rukaka originally thought so, but after walking for a while, he was surprised to find that the girl named Mikoto was not bad at all. Even if the mercenary group did not deliberately reduce the speed, she could catch up, and it seemed that she was not forced at all.

Lukaka naturally didn't know that in fact, it was Mikoto who deliberately lowered her speed. She thought she had changed to a delicate body, but she didn't expect that her delicate body was just an appearance. To be honest, her physical fitness is now a monster if she was measured by the standards of ordinary people. In terms of speed, it takes less than ten seconds to sprint a hundred meters, and the speed of this sprint can be maintained for ten minutes without feeling uncomfortable.

This is the horror of professionals. The basic qualities of mages are already like this. Mikoto really can't imagine that if she was a barbarian, the Paladin would be exaggerated to the point, or it would be a human tank.
