"...In fact, my king, we bards are very useful. When the battle begins, I will sing songs of strength and victory, which will inspire your people to fight with three times the strength.
You want ten times the power? Well, I'll see what I can do. Oh my gosh, there's already cheering, it looks like it's already started. So, sir, I beg you, tell me your name
.If the battle goes well, I will sing an epic song about your deeds. If the battle goes poorly, your bravery will be recorded, sir. Regardless, I will make you a legend."
Under the moon, after listening to the poems sung by Dorothy, Lotte was deeply moved and sighed softly: "You can also know the poems of the bard!"
A smile appeared on Dorothy's fat face: "When my grandfather was a bandit, many of the people who came to seek refuge were wanderers, travelers and bards from all over the world. I always heard this when I was young.
I also fucking learned some poetry.”
"Haha, that's it." Lotte looked at Dorothy's face through the moonlight: "I really can't tell."
Dorothy asked in confusion: "What can't you see?"
"You." Lotte said, "A fat guy with a vulgar mouth can also have such a romantic and poetic side."
Jesse followed quietly a few meters away and saw two students in front of him, a boy and a girl, talking and laughing together. He shook his head and smiled: "Look, I knew it would be like this."
A wolf roar sounded from the distance. Jesse really couldn't bear to disturb the two little guys who were in love, but he still couldn't help but said: "Hey, I said you two artists in love, shouldn't you stop?
Come on, take a good rest under this romantic moonlight? Don't you feel tired? I am still tired."
The two of them seemed to realize that it was already midnight with the moon rising. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lotte's cheeks were flushed: "Then let's find a place to camp."
Dorothy looked around and said, "There is a flat open space there, let's camp there."
The three people carried their luggage to the open space in front of some large yellow rocks and set up a simple tent. Dorothy found some dry wood and lit a fire. The fire was not for heating, but to drive away wild beasts. Of course,
You can also grill some game.
Lotte was spreading a sleeping blanket in the tent when she poked her head out and said, "Ah!"
"Lotte, what's wrong with you? What's the matter?" Doris and teacher Jesse rushed to her side.
Lotte pointed in horror at the dark gap between the two rocks: "There is... someone..."
Sure enough, Dorothy saw a vague figure hiding inside. He took the weapon and blocked Lotte behind him and shouted: "Who the hell, get out of here!"
The figure in the darkness didn't move at all.
"Is he dead?" Lotte asked doubtfully.
Teacher Jesse took out a torch from the fire and shone it into the black crack. He saw a man as skinny as a bone lying inside, but he couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.
After a while, seeing that the person in the gap was still motionless, Dorothy said: "It should be a dead body. Let me drag him out. It's not comfortable to leave him alone here." As he said that, he was about to reach out to lift the body.
Unexpectedly, before his hands could grab the clothes of the dead body, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes.
This sudden move really scared the three of them to the point where they were all covered in white sweat, and even Jesse sat down on the ground.
"Is...is...a living person?" Lotte whispered: "You, you...are you a human or a ghost?"
The corpse's energetic eyes gradually lost their luster, and the dilated pupils seemed to be seriously ill. The two emerald-yellow eyes rolled around, looking at the three people in front of them, and suddenly stared closely at Jie.
West: "Moore Jesse?"
Everyone felt very confident after hearing what he said, and Jesse was even more surprised: "Who are you? How do you know me?"
The corpse suddenly stood up and crawled out from the dark crack, revealing his entire face and the blue cross on his clothes. He was the backbone of the Blue Cross mercenary group, Gan Chai. Gan Chai also looked at Jesse in surprise.
: "I am Stoll, have you forgotten?"
"Stor..., is it you? It's really you!" Jesse exclaimed: "You...how did you become like this?"
"Teacher, do you know him?"
…
The branches of the flames were still crackling and crackling inside the flames. Gan Chai took a sip of water and sat around the fire with them. Jesse said: "Well, I know each other. He and I used to be '
A member of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group'."
"'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group'." Lotte said: "Teacher, have you also been a mercenary?"
Jesse smiled and said, "Yeah, I studied the warrior department, and it's not as easy to find a job as your magician. If you don't become a mercenary, it will be difficult to survive, let alone support your family."
Gan Chai ate the barbecue in silence and listened to their conversation.
Jesse said: "At that time, I belonged to the 17th Squadron and he was in the 4th Squadron. I wasn't very familiar with him at first, but then we started fighting because of something."
"What's going on? Will the team members fight each other?" Dorothy asked.
"It's layoffs." Gan Chai suddenly added coldly.
Jesse looked at him, he was still eating the barbecue with his head down.
"Layoffs?" Lotte asked in surprise: "The mercenary group will also lay off employees? Why?"
"Why? Humph." Jesse laughed: "Do you think the 'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group' is the kind where you kids hold a banquet and have fun? The group has to pay wages to the members every month, although it is not
A lot, but it is still very important to survive. At that time, the 'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group' had just been upgraded to an A-level mercenary group, and people came in droves to join the mercenary group. As a result, the mercenary group expanded too quickly, and the mercenary structure
The system must not be bloated. In addition, there was too much corruption in the regiment at that time. Many people with no ability at all were dragged in by relatives and friends without even paying the membership fee. The finances could not bear the burden for a while, so they had to lay off employees, and the last thing was nothing.
The soldiers who were employed became the first to be laid off."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lotte listened with her mouth open in surprise: "This is a real... real mercenary group. It also has finances, systems, etc., so formal!" She said
When I think about the mercenary organization I joined, compared to the 'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group' that my teacher joined, it feels like a child playing house.
Jesse said: "Of course. 1/4 of the tasks completed by each person in the mercenary group must be handed over to the mercenary group to ensure the normal operation of the mercenary group. This includes station, intelligence, logistics support, etc.
They all require money to operate.”
"If you want to hand over 1/4, why not do it alone? How can this be good?" Lotte asked.
Jesse shook his head: "No, it's not what you think. First of all, according to the rules of the mercenary union, within the level of the mercenary group, low-level mercenaries can accept tasks of one level higher. For example, the 'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group'
If you are an A-level mercenary, and you are a C-level mercenary, you can skip the level and accept B-level mercenary missions below A-level. The reward gap between B-level missions and C-level missions is not as simple as 1/4, and there are also work points.
The gap. Secondly, there is a department within the 'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group' that is responsible for logistics support. The members' expenses there will be 50% of what they spend externally, which also includes the cost of repairing items and other entertainment expenses."
Lotte asked again: "What other entertainment is it?"
Dorothy covered her mouth and whispered something in her ear.
Lotte blushed with embarrassment: "So...it turns out to be that one."
"Oh, yes, that's it." Jesse said: "These alone are enough to make those stragglers flock to you, and if you don't complete a task this month or the money you get from the task is not enough for living,
, the group will also give you a portion of the money to ensure your basic expenses this month."
Dorothy nodded: "With such a detailed and complete organizational system, and it is an A-level mercenary group, you can only imagine how much others want people to join."
Jesse said: "Yes, this also led to the beginning of the first layoff. The rules of layoffs are very simple, the strong stay, the weak go, and the opponent I drew is him."
Gan Chai licked the grease off his fingers, took a sip of water, then picked up a piece of barbecue and ate it, as if he would never be full.
Lotte glanced at the thin man and asked: "The final result is...?"
"I won and he lost." Jesse sighed: "So he was given a severance package and left the 'Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group'."
Gan Chai beat his chest, swallowed the chunk of meat he was choking on, and said, "Jesse, do you remember what I said before I left?"
"Well. You said you would come back, and I would be the one leaving then." Jesse looked at him: "Do you want to challenge me now?"
Gan Chai shook his head: "No, I have already joined another mercenary group. I never want to go to that place of Iron Blood again."
"Oh!" Jesse was a little surprised: "I remember that you used to have a very high vision, and you would never join a mercenary group if you were not a good one. Are you now...?"
Gan Chai said while eating meat: "A little-known C mercenary group, Blue Cross!" He pointed to the blue cross pattern on his chest.
"C-level? You actually chose a C-level mercenary organization. Isn't it a temporary place to stay?"
"No, I plan to work in this team for a long time."
Jesse touched the stubble on his chin: "Oh, this is interesting."
"What about you? It seems that you have become the caretaker of students." Gan Chai asked back.
Jesse laughed at himself and said, "Well, after you left, I became the second batch of laid off members. Later, after being introduced by an acquaintance, I became a regular employee at Curantine College."
"It's really surprising." Gan Chairou laughed with a smile: "But Kurantin's treatment should be good."
"Well, I can still live."
"Oh, what you said is really unbelievable." Gan Chai said: "Are you interested in joining our Blue Cross? When you were in the 'Iron Blood', you were considered a strong man. It would be a shame to waste it in school.
Alright."
Jesse shook his head and said with a smile: "Are you here to poach people? I forgot to tell you, I'm already married, and my children can go out on the streets to make soy sauce."
"I've settled down~!" Gan Chai sighed, as if he was filled with sadness.
"Yeah, you can't just float all the time." Jesse asked, "I'm curious, how did you end up like this? I remember you used to... you used to be quite strong."
A trace of fear flashed in Gan Chai's eyes, and he sighed: "It's okay, I was harmed by a devil, but I won't die, so don't mention it. I haven't seen you for a long time, old friend. Do you have wine? Please buy me a drink."
"Haha, I'm sorry, I just have water, but there's nothing I can do about wine."
