Several burly mercenaries were drinking and punching each other, and of course there were a few guys hiding in the corner who were incompatible with the noisy environment, drinking quietly.
These guys are not easy to mess with. Maybe an assassin is among these people.
"Hello, what do you need?" A waiter walked up to Walls and asked.
Walls didn't say anything, and directly asked Owens and the others to order food, while he had other tasks.
Walls has already made plans. He needs to find some experienced and skilled mercenaries to join his team.
I really need this kind of person.
If there is a veteran in the team, he can give advice to the new recruits on combat skills.
This allows these recruits to avoid detours when honing their combat skills, which can quickly improve the unit's combat effectiveness.
As for Walls, he is also a swordsman, so he can actually instruct new recruits.
However, it is not enough for him alone. You must know that in the future, Vols's mercenary team may not be several people.
But dozens, or hundreds, how could Walls alone teach such a large number of people?
Now, if you find a veteran early, you can cultivate a confidant early. Therefore, it is urgent to find a veteran to join the team.
In a corner of the tavern, there was an old mercenary with a big beard drinking wine alone. This kind of mercenary who worked alone was Walls' target.
As for why we can judge that he is a mercenary rather than an assassin, it mainly depends on his behavior.
This bearded man was drinking heavily like this. Most assassins would not do this, because it would make noise, making others aware of his presence, and possibly exposing himself.
Since he is not an assassin, he is to a large extent a mercenary. This bearded man has a layer of calluses on his hands, which were left behind when practicing swordsmanship.
"Brother, why are you drinking alone?" Walls started his action, and he was ready to pull him into his team.
"I have no companions. All my companions are dead." The bearded man said.
When Big Beard was escorting a caravan, he was attacked by a group of pirates. Big Beard and his companions fought desperately and finally defeated the attacking group of pirates.
The companions who finally survived finally escorted the caravan here, but although Bearded's surviving companions survived the battle, they lost the battle with their wounds.
All of his companions died from wound infections, except Bearded.
Bearded Beard, who lost his companion, was drinking wine alone in the tavern, mourning his companion in his heart.
When the bearded man finished telling his story to Walls, he took another sip of wine into his mouth.
"After hearing your story, I feel deeply sorry for your companions." Walls was about to use his poor eloquence to persuade the mercenary who had lost his companions to join his team.
"But people have to survive, right? I lead a mercenary team, although the number is not large now.
However, I believe that he will become a large-scale army in the future, what about it? Are you willing to join my team?"
Walls stated his wishes directly, but his eloquence was still insufficient. There was a high chance that others would reject him if he said it directly.
"No, I don't want to be a mercenary anymore. I'm ready to retire and go home." The bearded man took another sip of wine and said.
"So where is your home?" Walls asked again.
He hopes that this mercenary will go with him on the road, so that he can go on the road with him. If something happens on the road, he can be included in the group. There is a possibility of this, isn't it?
In fact, it is not that there are no experienced veterans, but these people are in some mercenary teams. It is difficult for Walls to recruit him, but now he has an experienced old mercenary in front of him.
How could it not make Walls' heart move?
"There is a small village nearby. You must have never heard of it."
"You are not from the Snow Kingdom, are you?"
"Sorry, I am exactly that."
This location disappointed Walls. Originally, Walls planned to go to a town in the Nordic Kingdom to purchase a batch of pig iron.
Then sell it to Korau in the Snow Kingdom, and then buy a batch of salt from Wocheze and sell it to Korau. In this way, you can make a lot of profits by trading back and forth between the two places.
This was what businessman Randy told him. Randy was ready to leave the continent of Calradia and take his money to have fun.
In fact, Walls had long felt that Randy had given him a total of four hundred dinars, but this amount was definitely a drop in the bucket for Randy.
"If you want to find a companion, then I suggest you find that one." The bearded words interrupted Walls's meditation.
He pointed to a young man. Although he looked a little shabby, he still tried to keep his clothes neat and clean. Judging from the calluses on his hands, he was also an expert with a sword.
Are you a noble? Walls suddenly felt this way. "Thank you, if you want to join my team, I will welcome you at any time." Walls said politely to the bearded man.
Then, he stood up, crossed the noisy crowd, and walked in front of this young man who looked like a nobleman.
"Hello sir, are you alone?" Walls began to use his poor eloquence to win over people again.
Alleyn raised his head and looked at this guy who looked neatly dressed and about the same age as himself.
(Alleyn, the eldest son of a minor nobleman in Vecchia in his mid-twenties, was supposed to inherit the mantle, but he was kicked out of the house by his father because of his stepmother's strong influence.
With his good martial arts, Alleyn should have done well, but he couldn't let go of his figure and made himself very embarrassed. His family is in Zhiva Cheze.
Team positioning: Knight, there is no doubt that Alleyn is the strongest and bravest knight in the team.
Vanguard Alleyn's strength and fearlessness make him undoubtedly the best candidate for the vanguard.
Personal characteristics: Brave, warlike, proud, respecting women, a man who would die on the battlefield and return wrapped in horse leather. This sentence is not an exaggeration to describe Alleyne.
Perhaps it was his pride as a knight that made him so fearless. His respect for women can be seen in his quarrel with Niza.)
"Oh my god, it turns out that Alleyn was taken away by him..." The baron finally couldn't help complaining.
[System prompt: This is fair, didn’t you also get these three old guys, Manid, Borcha, and James?]
The Baron objected: "Are three old guys as good as a super soldier Alleyn?"
Alleyn is an original NPC in the world of horseback riding and slashing. He is the only knight NPC, and he is also the only one among them because he is from a noble family.
In comparison, another knight named Fatis was born a little humbler.
"Of course, I am a lonely nobleman." Alleyn said, "Would you like to buy me a drink?"
"Of course, take it." Walls pulled out a dinar out of nowhere.
"I am my father's eldest son, but since my father married a second wife, that hateful woman wanted her children to have the inheritance rights.
She kept saying bad things about me in front of my father, and my father became more and more displeased with me, until one day I fed my hunting dog some suet, and it died.
I knew it was my stepmother who did it, and then I went to find my father, but he was fascinated by that woman. He told me not to appear in my stepmother's sight.
Finally I ended up here, looking for another way to make a living."
He drank a glass of wine, and then continued, "You seem like an officer worthy of my service. It is not impossible for me to join your team."
"Of course, I would like to see you join my team." There is no doubt that this is a down-and-out nobleman. His life experience is very similar to Walls, but it can be seen that he is very arrogant and still
Retain the aristocratic airs.
Russell roared: "Don't join, I'm richer, Alleyne, I'm richer!"
[System prompt: Stop yelling, they can’t hear you.]
"However, during the time I was traveling, the clothes I was wearing were very worn out.
Now I need three hundred dinars to buy me a piece of clothing that suits me, so that I can avoid being confused with the civilians in your ranks."
Three hundred dinars!
"It's only three hundred yuan, but I'm a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of thousands. Follow me, Alleyn, and I'll make sure you get the money!"
At this time, the baron couldn't help but complain. He was really jealous of this brave knight Alleyne who was born fearless and fought to the end.
[System prompt: Stop beeping, you can’t communicate with him.]
At this moment, Walls is not as wealthy as Russell...
Including the weapons sold to the bandits before, plus the dinar given by Randy, the total is five hundred dinars.
If he takes out three hundred dinars now, it means that Walls' original business plan will be ruined for the first time, and it will be difficult to use the remaining two hundred dinars to make capital.
Walls hesitated for a moment, he needed to consider whether the price was worth it.
Alleyn noticed the changes on Walls's face, and when he saw Walls's expression of reluctance, he secretly complained in his heart.
In fact, it's because he is a down-and-out nobleman, but he still puts on the airs of a nobleman.
These civilians who usually dislike the nobles would be very polite without beating him up. Now they invite him to become a mercenary in their own team. How is this possible?
"This is very possible, at least where I am," Russell interjected again.
[System prompt: If you don’t speak, no one will think you are mute!]
