"How many people are there in your mercenary group? How many people do you want to find to join?" Ruian did not agree immediately, but continued to ask questions.
"There are many people in our mercenary group, but there are only about 20 people who are capable of participating in this mission. We plan to find about 20 people."
"What kind of strength do you need to participate?" Ruian couldn't help but ask again.
"You must be at least a level 3 swordsman or above, otherwise, not only will it not be helpful, but it will become a burden." The thin man answered honestly.
After hearing this, Ruian began to think. After a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I am somewhat interested, but I need to understand the situation before I decide whether to participate."
Ruian is very cautious. He wants to understand the situation that the mercenary group detected last night and understand the degree of danger before making a decision.
The thin man did not agree immediately, but thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, but it's not convenient to talk here, please come with me, our group leader will tell everyone in detail."
Then, the thin man led the way, followed by Ruian, and left the east city gate.
Halfway through, Ruian changed his previous coldness and started chatting and laughing with the thin man. Among them, Ruian also asked a question: "There are so many people near the city gate, and there are so many mercenaries, why do you think I am strong enough to participate?"
Where is your group?”
The thin man smiled and said, "I noticed that after you learned about the bounty notice, your expression was as usual. You were not as happy as other mercenaries. You were still thinking, so I know that you are no ordinary mercenary."
Ruian was silent. It turned out that his whereabouts and expression had been noticed by someone. Fortunately, this person didn't seem to have any malicious intent now. It seemed that he would have to pay more attention to it in the future.
The thin man said jokingly: "You won't tell me at this time that you don't have the strength of a level 3 swordsman?"
Ruian smiled and said nothing, and casually pulled out the epee from behind. As soon as he used his fighting spirit, the epee suddenly emitted a foot-long sword light.
Ruian was cautious and did not show his full strength. He only showed the fighting spirit of a level 3 swordsman to prove it.
Soon, the two came to a wine shop.
The wine is very large and the decoration is very luxurious. It belongs to the high-end consumption level and is far from comparable to the wine we went to in Ruian yesterday.
Ruian followed the thin man into one of the large boxes. Looking around, he saw that the area inside was hundreds of square meters, with dozens of wooden chairs with backrests placed against the wall. This arrangement did not look like a place for drinking, but more like a meeting.
Used conference room.
There were more than a dozen people dressed as mercenaries sitting scattered in the box. Some were talking, but more people were sitting silently, as if waiting for something.
The thin man quietly put his mouth close to Ruian's ear and whispered: "Everyone here is invited by our mercenary group to join the mission."
Ryan nodded to express his understanding.
The thin man stood back to his original position and said loudly: "Please sit down and wait a moment. Our leader will be here in a moment."
Upon hearing this, Ruian nodded again, and then, under the leadership of the thin man, he found an empty chair and sat down.
When Ruian just walked into the box, he felt that everyone in the box focused their eyes on him. However, after a while, some eyes moved away, but some eyes still stayed on him. Ruian was not nervous at all.
Afraid, he has experienced situations where thousands of people are paying attention at the same time in the competition venue, so naturally he will not be frightened by this small scene.
After Ryan sat down, except for one or two who glanced at Ryan from time to time, the others basically stopped looking at Ryan. But now it was Ryan's turn to look at the others one by one.
There are more than ten people present here, most of them are around thirty years old, and a few are younger, about the same age as Ruian. All of them are dressed as mercenaries. In addition to weapons and armors and other equipment, most of them are like Ruian, carrying a
Baggage, obviously, these people are probably from other places, not local mercenaries.
Everyone's strength can't be seen from Ruian's appearance, but one thing Ruian can be sure of is that everyone here is a level 3 swordsman or above, because the thin man just explained that what he is looking for this time is
A level 3 or above swordsman. As for whether anyone is a level 5 or above swordsman? Ruian can't tell. He can only roughly estimate that some two mercenaries who are older and seem to be much calmer may reach level 5.
Level swordsman or above.
"The Tiger Mercenary Group has found so many people with level 3 swordsman strength, so their strength must be higher, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress these people. In addition, if this mission requires more than 40 level 3 swordsmen or above
If only a few people can complete it, then the difficulty of this task must be very difficult. I must be more careful, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Ruian thought to himself while observing the others.
After a while, several more mercenaries entered the box one after another. They looked like Ruian and were invited to take over the mission together.
A little while later, it seemed that no mercenaries came in. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
I saw five or six people who looked like mercenaries stepping into the door.
The leader of the mercenary was about forty years old, with two beards on his lips. He was full of energy and very dignified. The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Hello everyone, I am a member of the Tiger Mercenary Group.
Chief Qifitetuo, thank you all for giving our Tiger Mercenary Group face and joining us to take on this mission."
After saying this, Zifite bowed to express his thanks.
Except for one or two mercenaries who were sitting on the chairs, almost all of them stood up, including Ruian, who also stood up. Several of the mercenaries who stood up bowed in return.
, but most people, including Ruian, did not move and just stood up to show courtesy.
Most people remained silent, waiting for the group leader named Zifitetuo to continue speaking. To them, the name of this group leader had never been heard before, so naturally they did not need to respect it. There were only a few
The mercenary said flatteringly.
"Captain Qifitetuo, you are very polite. It is an honor for me to cooperate with your group."
"Captain Qifitetuo, I have heard of your name for a long time, why can't I give you face?"
"Being able to join the Tiger Mercenary Group to take on this mission is so easy."
…
This flattery immediately aroused the contempt of all the silent mercenaries, but all the mercenaries were experienced people, so they all kept this contempt in their hearts and did not show it.
After a few words of modesty, Captain Chifitto said, "Everyone, I believe you all know that on the Gesudo Mountain outside our town, there has been a fog-shrouded phenomenon in the evenings in recent days.
, and all kinds of terrifying howls. This phenomenon is very strange and terrifying. The residents of our town are worried that this phenomenon will pose a threat to our town. Therefore, the mayor contacted some people and raised 5,000 yuan.
gold coins, issue a mercenary mission, and offer a reward to solve the strange phenomenon in Gesudo Mountain."
Captain Qifeituo talked eloquently, but did not get to the point. However, the mercenaries present were not in a hurry and waited for him to continue.
"Our Tiger Mercenary Group is the largest mercenary group in Gesudo Town. In order to prevent this bounty mission from being taken away by mercenary groups from other places, we must take over this task as soon as possible. Considering that our mercenaries
The strength of the corps is lacking, so we invite everyone here to join us and accept this task. With the strength of everyone here, plus our mercenary group, it is estimated that it is more than enough to complete this task." After finishing speaking, Qifite asked the captain.
Look at the mercenaries around to see other people's reactions.
There were more than twenty mercenaries present. Except for a few calm ones, the others had mixed reactions. Some were very excited, some frowned, but most of them were discussing with the people next to them.
At this moment, a young mercenary stood up and asked in a weak voice: "I just arrived in Gesudo Town today. I don't know the situation on Gesudo Mountain. Is this mission dangerous?
"
Captain Qifitetuo laughed loudly and said: "The danger is definitely there, otherwise the town would not have offered five thousand gold coins as a reward. This gold coin is enough for us to work hard for it." After a pause,
He continued: "Before, the town sent a team
The guards went to investigate, but they disappeared without a trace. However, most of the soldiers in this guard were not even swordsmen, and the most powerful ones were only level 2 swordsmen. I believe that with our strength as level 3 swordsmen and above,
The risk will definitely be greatly reduced."
Commander Qifitetuo said this, which dispelled some people's doubts.
Someone started asking, and then many people asked questions.
"Captain Qifeituo, your mercenary group hired more than 20 of us, how many people did your mercenary group send?" This man asked the question that everyone here wanted to ask.
"There are hundreds of people in our mercenary group, but this mission is dangerous, so we only send mercenaries who are level 3 swordsmen or above. We have sent a total of twenty-eight people. If everyone here participates, we will
We will gather fifty mercenaries who are level 3 swordsmen or above."
"The reward for this bounty mission is 5,000 gold coins. If you complete the mission, how will this gold coin be distributed?"
Captain Qifitetuo did not answer immediately, but thought for a while and said: "This bounty mission will be taken over in the name of our mercenary group, and then our people will be the main force, and everyone here will be the auxiliary, so I think
Pay everyone a sum of gold coins as a reward."
"How many gold coins does each person have?" the mercenary who asked the question quickly asked again. Everyone present took this question very seriously.
"I would like to pay sixty gold coins for each level 3 swordsman and one hundred gold coins for each level 4 swordsman."
When everyone heard this, they silently calculated in their hearts, and then discovered that if they calculated like this, most of the commission would be taken away by this tiger mercenary group. So, almost everyone was in an uproar, and everyone was not satisfied with this.
reward.
Next, everyone started bargaining with Captain Qifitetuo.
After arguing for a long time, we finally reached an agreement. If the mission is completed and the commission is obtained, each level 3 swordsman will pay 80 gold coins, and each level 4 swordsman will pay 120 gold coins. (To be continued.
