"This gentleman... You've seen me for a long time."
Staring at the guests in a carriage, the blonde in his thirties was obviously embarrassed to continue. He stopped his exercise and asked, "what's the matter?"
He looked at the three men in the line.
The maid Gelin and the middle-aged coachman were quickly skipped, leaving only the young man with wine red eyes.
Looking at each other's gorgeous clothes and accessories, should he be an aristocrat?
That's why he didn't do it directly.
Otherwise, according to the fierce temper of the local people, it may just be a "what do you look at" out.
"My name is Sulu. I'm a... Traveler. I've always heard of the reputation of billichus mercenaries and want to hire one as a bodyguard..."
Sulu smiled and gave a reasonable answer.
"Bodyguard?"
The blonde suddenly said, "then you should go to the local mercenary guild. My name is Leon!"
"I just saw your martial arts, which seems to be the local 'steel fist flow'..." Sulu didn't talk at first.
This information, of course, was dug out of Felix's memory.
At least he is a master and has some knowledge of some mainstream schools in the world.
Moreover, Leon himself seems to have a certain willingness to apply for a job.
After a few more words, Leon was surprised to find that the other party knew a lot about the martial arts learned by the local people, and felt that the traveler named 'Sulu' was a little close.
"Mr. Leon... Do you... Live alone?"
Sulu asked curiously.
"Yes, our mercenaries in billichus must be separated from their original family at the age of 16 and go out to make a living alone... I have saved a sum of money, but I haven't met the right lady yet..."
Leon answered generously.
"That's great... I mean... I'm looking for a mercenary who has no family to drag and can follow me around the world as a bodyguard. I don't know what you think, sir?"
Sulu said leisurely: "the basic salary is a gold coin a natural month, and if there is a battle..."
This is a very good price. Leon's eyes brightened and he hesitated: "why do you want me? There are many mercenaries willing to work hard at this price."
"Maybe... Just because of fate..."
Sulu smiled: "I'm going all the way north... Go to the ice and snow country in the North... Maybe there's a lady suitable for you among the Beidi girls over there?"
"Beidi..."
I don't know why, Leon's heart suddenly surged with a palpitation and an impulse to go to the north, as if someone was waiting for him there.
"OK."
He promised: "I can be your bodyguard, but I have to go through the formalities of the mercenary guild, which is the guarantee for both sides."
Not only are employers afraid of meeting mercenaries who eat black, but even mercenaries themselves are afraid of being sold by their employers.
Therefore, the local mercenary guild plays the role of intermediary and guarantor.
"Of course, a reasonable and fair contract is the best guarantee for both buyers and sellers..."
Sulu has no objection to this.
On the contrary, Leon raised his thumb: "it's worthy of being a noble master. His words are so organized..."
Nearby, although Felix could not move, he tried to turn his eyes to look at the young mercenary.
Glenn also focused on Leon.
She knew that Mr. devil had traveled so long for this seemingly ordinary mercenary.
Is there any evil "big plan" in him?
……
On the other side, Baron Joel leads.
Xu Changqing looked at the three people in front of him.
Joshua, dressed in a simple leather armor and carrying a long sword, is satisfied. Next to him is his good friend Mans, a tall and thin man who often squints and holds a wooden bow with loose bowstrings. It's unreliable.
The last Ellie barely looked like something.
"These three people are all rookies and have no experience at all. If they really take risks without preparing for anything... I'm afraid they will die and be seriously injured on the first mission."
Xu Changqing had a comment in his heart and coughed: "now, I announce that the 'sword of the brave' adventure group has been established, and the first task goal is the great chief Baird Gavin!"
"Oh, oh!"
Joshua said excitedly, "I can't wait."
At this time, his skin looks very rough and seems to have a layer of cutin.
This is the result of Xu Changqing's soaking in medicine bath and continuous exercise these days. Although his defense is not as strong as that of epithelial armor, he has had considerable resistance to blunt force attack, which made Joshua very excited for a time and almost thought his dragon blood had awakened: "teacher... When shall we start?"
Xu Changqing is actually trying to organize this adventure group.
After all, he was avenged and had a leisurely mind. At this time, he was mainly to teach his disciples to experiment and see the effect of Oriental magic in this world.
Excited Joshua didn't know that he was just an experiment in Xu Changqing's eyes, while Ellie vaguely felt it, but he was used to it.
In this world, Great Magicians take apprentices and use them as coolies and experiments. That's a routine operation.
Knowledge is precious!
Knowledge that can bring strength is more valuable!
It is natural to pay a huge price for this.
"Mans..."
Xu Changqing coughed: "good eyesight is a necessary quality for an archer. I've prepared this for you..."
He took out a pair of black framed glasses: "try it on. I made the lenses with crystal."
"Thank you!"
Mans didn't talk much. After wearing it, he felt that the world was suddenly clear and moved: "this alchemy is very valuable, isn't it?"
"Don't worry about this. It's just an early investment... It may be a little dizzy at first. Just adapt."
Xu Changqing looked at the last Ellie: "what is the magic prepared for today?"
"I'm ready to treat a weak injury!"
Ellie answered quickly.
"Very good!"
This Druid girl not only has the talent to dominate small animals, but also is very close to the Tao. She is the object of Xu Changqing's most concern.
In other words, Mans is an external worker. If Joshua is an external disciple, Eli is at least the level of an internal disciple.
As for the true story?
Xu Changqing is still hesitant about whether to spread the "way of deceitful immortals" in the world.
In other words, after the previous blow, he is ready to test the effect on these disciples one by one, and then make the final decision.
"Then... Let's go!"
With a wave of his sleeves, he took the three man adventure group out of the town and drove to the hill occupied by Baird Gavin, the son of the mountains.
