Chapter thirteen blood mercenary group
"Sir, a few mercenaries said they had taken over the commission from the mercenary union and were waiting for you downstairs." Shortly after Qin Lun and Sifo returned to the tavern, the waitress knocked on the door and notified them of good news.
"So fast!" Qin Lun and Hill looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.
They don’t know much about the mercenary organization in the Torrell world, but they have never eaten pork or seen pigs running. Generally speaking, even if a certain task is commissioned more popular, the mercenaries will first consider the gains and losses of the task, and then decide whether to accept the task.
Most importantly, unless contact is made in the mercenary union hall, the mercenary organization stipulates that registered mercenaries cannot find their employers privately.
First, because the mercenary union needs to withdraw the introduction fee from it, and second, sometimes the entrusted tasks may not be just one mercenary group to accept them. The mercenary union also needs to screen them. This is the responsibility of the mercenary union to the employer.
As we go back and forth, even if the employer is not very picky, it will probably take three or four days. In addition, both employers and mercenaries have to prepare supplies for outdoor adventures. In most cases, it takes one week to formally sign the employment contract and then set off for the destination.
Of course, Qin Lun and others don’t have so much time to waste, so they tried their best to speed up the process. For example, spend a lot of money on the entrustment process, requesting the mercenary union to omit the screening process, and actively recommend a suitable mercenary group to them.
In addition, it is stated in terms of employment conditions that a mercenary group with adventure materials must be prepared before it can accept this entrusted task.
This condition actually limits that only large mercenary groups can meet the entrustment conditions, because only large mercenary groups have enough credibility to allow mercenary unions to guarantee them, and they have sufficient financial resources to prepare wild survival supplies in normal times.
Of course, even so, it is not just about leaving. They also need to measure the risk of the task and how many personnel they need to complete the commission safely. Only by shortening the preparation time of one week to two or three days is also the limit that Qin Lun and others can endure.
"It must be those bastards who want to take advantage of it." Siphe said, breathing heavily in the room.
He was so melancholy that he was so depressed. Now when he calmed down, he always felt that the world was so dark and the human heart was so sinister. He missed the time when Old Butler Mason was still there.
"Don't worry, let's go down and see first, Rand is here to accompany you!" Hill smiled and comforted, throwing a wink at Qin Lun, and the two went downstairs side by side.
"You are more familiar with the world of Torrell. In your opinion, is this trouble or luck?" Hill asked cautiously on the team channel.
"If they don't have a letter of introduction from the mercenary union, it's trouble. On the contrary, they should be some small characters who want to take advantage of it." Qin Lun replied with a faint smile, "For us, as long as we are not from the people of the Anboli Church, it's okay. Cannon fodder? It's the same. We have less time. Just someone accompany us. If gold coins are not good, use force. It's hard to say who takes advantage of whom at that time."
Mercenary unions have existed in the world of Torrell for a long time, and their reputations are generally very good, and their service procedures are very formal. Most of the letters of introduction brought out have specific magic seals, which others cannot fake.
The two murderers had no scruples, and even if they used force, they were not afraid of kicking the iron plate. Sivo was just a devastating little nobleman, and he did not put a little gold coins in the eyes of a real big man. Those who wanted to take advantage of him were so strong that they would naturally be played with and applauded by the three murderers. This was something Qin Lun and others had long thought out.
Just as Qin Lun and Hill were talking and laughing downstairs, someone mentioned Sifer and their affairs in the lobby of the Oak Barrel Tavern.
These were three young mercenaries, two men and one woman. The leader was tall and handsome, like a knife and axe carved with a strong face, and a golden wavy hair hung to her shoulders. Even in the noisy tavern environment, it looked so outstanding and extremely eye-catching.
He was wearing a dark purple plate armor, which was covered with mottled marks, and the oil paint in some places had fallen off. However, the style of the plate armor was not an ordinary road product. The shoulder braces on both sides were arched upwards, with more than a dozen steel cones on each.
The chest shank on the front has a clear arc, and it seems like a wine barrel is covered with a faded purple rose in the heart. The forearm's sleeve extends to the elbow, connected to the shoulder shank, covering the upper body without revealing it.
The cylindrical helmet helmet held in his hand has a cross-shaped slit in front of him, which looks hideous and terrifying.
Some mercenaries with good eyes have already seen that this set of plate armor cannot be purchased on the market. This is a heavy knight armor in southern Feren, close to the Steam Lake and the Sea of Guangya, the Chara Empire, and at least the nobles with the title of Knight or above can wear it.
It just depends on the age of the young knight. This set of old armor should not belong to him. It is probably a family heirloom left by his father.
However, compared with the special armor on the knight, the weapons in his hand attracted the attention of many mercenaries in the tavern.
This is an ordinary wide-blade cutting horse, but the model is a bit large, nearly twenty-five cm wide, two meters long, the ridge is one inch thick, and the tip of the blade has a slightly upturned hook arc. The handle of the knife, about forty cm, is wrapped around the cotton cloth, and occasionally the broken area reveals a smooth and shiny oak handle.
Several older mercenaries looked at the knife, their eyelids twitched, and their usual loud voices were octave lowered.
They only had one evaluation of this knife in their hearts, which was definitely a murder weapon. A warrior who was less than the Great Knight level could not use this weapon. Her weight alone could exhaust the ordinary warrior.
This weapon is the ultimate combination of power and beauty. If it is fully used, the earth dragon can cut you off with one knife or two.
"Ms. Linda introduced us to the commission this time is not easy. The place of death... I hope the employer is not a fool, otherwise he will be exhausted." The person who spoke was another man.
He was not as tall as the blonde knight. He was not wearing any protective gear. He only wore a set of cloth clothes, had long limbs, and his hands and feet were wearing cotton bandages. His palms were white and smooth, and his fingers were slender.
His expression seemed a little lazy, he held a piece of hay in his mouth, squatting on a wooden bench like a monkey, with only a pair of bright eyes passing by the tavern gate from time to time, observing everyone entering the tavern with vigilance.
He was stuck with a horned scimitar on his left waist, but his right hand was playing with another shiny dagger. The blade of this dagger was carved with an eye pattern, and the hilt was a hideous dragon head, which was daunting.
This is a double-blade thief, or an assassin of a part-time wanderer.
"Largo, change your lazy personality. Miss Linda has introduced us to many good tasks. Stop complaining," a pleasant voice sounded in the threesomes, and the only female among them said.
The young woman was wearing a black velvet cloak and a hood, and a white veil covering her face. Inside the cloak was a white double-breasted robe. It seemed that the style was either a priest's suit or a magic robe.
Although her body was tightly wrapped in a robe and her face was covered with a veil, the only eyes exposed outside were bright eyes, bright and charming, making people unconsciously feel that this was a gorgeous and charming beauty.
Her right hand was tightly holding a branch-shaped staff, with a small fire crystal at the top. But her next move completely destroyed her original quiet temperament and revealed her naughty nature. She actually used her short staff to knock the thief's head.
"Hey, Winnie, I'm just talking." The thief quickly slipped down the wooden bench, hid behind the knight, and smiled at the female mage in a pleasing way.
"Hmph, you have to know that last time we spent all our money to redeem 'Twilight' for you. If we don't do the task, we will sleep in the streets." The female mage curled her lips and looked at the black dagger with eyes engraved on the thief's hand in annoyed manner.
"It's better than always using money to buy a bunch of perfume that is more expensive than gold... I was wrong, I was wrong, Winnie, don't be excited." The thief murmured, looked up at the female mage with murderous aura, and his face changed drastically.
"Rick, boss, stop her. If we burn this tavern, we will have no money to pay."
"You know too, then don't mess with her!" The heroic knight took the thief's back collar and threw him in front of the female mage. "Winnie, teach him a lesson when you go back. It seems that our employer has come down and do the job first."
...
Qin Lun and Hill looked at the three mercenaries in front of them, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"Trouble?" Hill asked quietly on the team channel.
"It doesn't seem to be useful to give so many taps to the mercenary union." Qin Lun said with a smile, "These two men and one woman seem to be good at both strength."
"Hello, I am Rick, the leader of the Blood-Spiked Mercenary Corps. These are my companions Winnie and Lago. Oh, by the way... This is the introduction letter sent to us by the union registrar Miss Linda." The heroic and tall knight handed a red mud envelope to Qin Lun.
"May I ask, are you Sivo Hulan?" The thief beside the knight looked at Qin Lun vigilantly.
"No, I am Sivo's friend. He is upstairs. If the commission is negotiated, I will take you to find him." Qin Lun smiled and nodded, "Since the Mercenary Union has recommended you, you should have known the content of the commission, right?"
"Yes, escort you to the Land of Death, and don't protect your personal safety along the way until you return to the Gate of Bodder, the daily reward is 100 gold coins." Rick nodded solemnly, "However, we need to attach a condition to this mission."
"What kind of conditions?" Qin Lun did not immediately refuse the knight, and raised his head and looked at him seriously.
