There are very few mercenary regiments with more than 20 people in the underground mercenary guild. A more accurate description is that there are no registered mercenary regiments in the underground mercenary guild, replaced by mercenary organizations-that is, several relatively fixed mercenaries cooperate for a period of time.
Underground guilds have a very high risk factor for missions, so the mortality rate of mercenaries is very high. In this case, the scale of the organization is naturally difficult to expand.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, some mercenaries are super powerful, and after a few years of struggle, a group of more than 50 people has been formed. At this time, these mercenaries will find ways to whiten their past records and register as a new mercenary regiment in the real mercenary union. Unless, some people really carry too much stains on their backs, they can't see the sun at all.
In order to undertake larger tasks and obtain higher profits, once the underground mercenary organization receives a large-scale or high-risk task, the first option is to recruit some temporary partners.
--Underground Mercenary Guild ※※※
"There are only 5 gold coins in 20 days. Too few. The fairy forest is so dangerous. If you add more, consider going." A burly warrior stood up at a table not far away.
"Yeah, yeah, to go to places like Fairy Forest, you can't calculate according to ordinary tasks, at least you need to refer to the Dragon Cave task to calculate the hardship." Another mercenary helped to speak.
For most underground mercenaries, the task of recruiting temporary partners must have a relatively high risk factor, especially the recruitment of foreign aid by the already strong mercenary organizations, which is pitifully low in terms of completion rate. In this case, what most of the mercenaries bargain is not how much they can be divided after completing the task, but more realistically discussing how much they can get if they ca n’t complete it. Even mercenaries with very poor martial arts will discuss compensation after being injured.
The middle-aged mage pondered for a while and re-published the price: "8 gold coins in 20 days, archers and priests take priority. If the soldiers are not strong, we will not consider it. Don't be a mage."
In the Underground Killer Guild, 5 gold coins can buy a cheap life. The hard work of 8 gold coins in 20 days is enough to illustrate the danger of the mission. However, the price offered still arouses many people's hearts.
A magician shouted in the distance: "Hi ... kid, why don't you need a mage, you are a second-level mage, far away, don't be jealous and envious."
"Mr. First Class, what kind of spells can you release in the fairy forest?" The middle-aged magician said coldly. The other party was speechless. Not a wood mage, you ca n’t even use any first-level magic in the fairy forest, let alone high-level magic with greater power.
"Count me one." The lazy voice of the rescuer who just shot out rescued. The middle-aged man and several partners showed surprises in the eyes at the same time. There are very few mercenaries with such martial arts in the underground mercenaries, and the other party did not put forward higher requirements, and the magician agreed without a word.
Most people have seen the sword just now, so the addition of the warrior will undoubtedly increase the reliability of the task completion, maybe 20 gold coins are also expected, more people stand up to sign up, so that the flower of the fairy appears Screen such rare scenes as mercenaries.
Soon after, the middle-aged mage smiled and pulled a priest and a soldier out of the crowd. It can be seen that the Master's satisfaction with this recruitment.
After receiving the ordered meat and water naan from the bartender, the eight-member mercenary group that had just formed set off in a hurry. The remaining mercenaries in the bar began to ask privately from the guild clerk what was the low cost of this task? The clerk simply said two words: "Piece Counting!" Most of the piece counting tasks are searching. The more you complete, the higher the reward. This is no wonder that the other party ’s captain dare to recruit people at such a high price.
After leaving the Fairy Flower, the small team immediately left the mainland highway and moved to the east next to the Fairy Forest. The buddies are just new friends, and quite a few of them can't even remember the other party's name, and there is almost nothing to say between the mercenaries along the way.
It is not an easy task to travel on the edge of the tropical rainforest after the summer. Every night, there will be showers in the rainforest. Therefore, the grassy paths are all covered with rainwater. Stretching branches and leaves, there are constantly large wildflowers blooming in the sun. There are low-pitched chirping of birds from time to time in the jungle, as well as the sound of small animals knocking down trees in the forest when they are alarmed. On the side of the forest, occasionally the sound of a creek can be heard.
Walking on the edge of the fairy forest, the danger is not as great as expected. At least, it is safe for the adventurer to enter the forest within 30 steps. At this distance, the adventurer can penetrate the jungle to see the sunlight outside, and can exit the jungle at any time. ――Only travellers who have actually entered the fairy forest know that the fairy forest is not a forbidden place that has been protected by magic. All the partners who lost their traces in the forest are only for one reason: they entered the forest too deep, so that Not only can't see partners, they can't even find the right direction at all. Some adventurers used to want to build a fixed road in the forest by cutting down trees-they would immediately attract a short green arrow shot from deep in the jungle to warn.
None of the eight adventurers is a novice. They are quite clear about the principles that must be followed in the Goblin Forest. There is no need for the captain to spend any words, and they travel very fast. The middle-aged mage secretly rejoices that he picked the right person this time. If he can complete the task, he may wish to send some more money to the new partner and hope to cooperate again in the future.
The sky gradually dimmed, although walking on the edge of the forest, but the sun setting was obviously earlier than in the city. The middle-aged magician announced the start of camping.
The few soldiers did not dare to cut down the trees, but got a lot of wood from the dead trunk on the outside and poured some sesame oil into the bonfire. The only woman set up a pot on the fire, chopped the meat suitable for soup and stewed it in water. Soon, everyone smelled the lingering aroma.
The mercenaries each filled a bowl of broth and took the opportunity to get acquainted with each other while eating the noodles in their hands.
"Head-what is our mission this time? The price you gave this time is really good, hehe, where 4 gold coins can be married to a wife, 8 gold coins can be married to 2 wives." Just now Another warrior who became a partner asked-looking at this warrior looks very much like the residents of the desert empire. Unlike most warriors, this deep-eyed warrior uses an extremely curved scimitar. In the self-introduction just now, this guy does indeed have the characteristics of the name of the desert people: Mohanmud. It is said that every male citizen can marry four legal wives in this country where politics and religion are united. It is no wonder that the smile of the young warrior is "sexually blessed".
The middle-aged mage had a conspicuous smile on his face: "Someone entrusted to get some children under the age of 20 in the fairy village, the more the better." For elves, under 20 is roughly equivalent to human 3 Most children under the age are still learning to walk.
The pastor, one of the new partners, was so frightened that the bowl shook in his hand, and the soup was sprinkled with water: "Why did n’t you say it early? I want to quit!" The crooked moon: "Go deep into the fairy forest to rob the fairy baby? What a joke? The fairies will agree? Just a few of us are not as good as a rabbit in this forest. We are looking for death." The pastor named Ark told the truth.
"Don't ... don't ... don't be excited." The mage said with a smile: "I just want to come and see, without the use of force, is there any other way to get it. For example, I want to buy or ..."
"Mr. Master, don't you want to steal?" The warrior carrying two large swords leaned against a large tree and said lightly. In the introduction, everyone already remembered his name: pasture.
"This ... In short, first, I hope I won't be hurt; second, I hope it can be completed. Each child of the other party will give us 200 gold coins. If everyone can complete it, I promise to give you 5 more coins for each additional one. "
It's hard to make money ... This is a matter of truth that almost everyone knows. In the underground mercenary guild, even a good player, the monthly income is rarely more than 30 gold coins. Moreover, here life is worthless, for 5 gold coins, there will be a lot of desperation to kill and set fire. Each 5 gold coins, another layer of new temptation, several new partners are silent.
"I think there will always be more children in the elven family. As stated in the task, the employer hopes to adopt a few elven children, not only to ensure safety, but also to promise that this child can go home to visit his biological parents in the future." The teacher also hopes to explain to increase the sense of security of the new partner.
"You'd better dispel such thoughts." The grass said coldly, his eyes soaked in alcohol for a long time glowed a unique red light in the dark night: "With the goodness of the elves, it is impossible to give up your children, and, You also do n’t trust that they ca n’t afford children. In the fairy forest, every time a child is born, a banana tree is planted in front of the door, and only the knotted bananas can raise the child. Stealing or kidnapping may It ’s your only way ... It ’s weird, why did you receive such a task in the fairy flower? "
"Try it ..." Chevalier sighed: "We try not to conflict with the goblin. I don't believe there are no orphans in the goblin forest."
"Mr. Pasture, listening to your words, you seem to be familiar with the fairy forest." The woman hidden in the dark asked lowly-this woman is the most mysterious racial shadow on the mainland. It is said that this race is best at night. Good at using short swords or daggers. The rest of the team called her Linna.
"Oh ... I have done a period of guarding work for the Imperial Library before. I often turn over books at night. I have seen more things, and I know more useful and useless things." The grass lay on its back on the grass, watching The faint stars in the sky are gradually blocked by the clouds.
"Mr. Musage, I want to ask you something." Hunyang, the youngest warrior in the team, brought a tribute to the elders in his discourse: "At noon today, the young man in white is very powerful, how can you be in Was White rescued in an instant? "
"It's not surprising. The moment he entered the bar, I noticed him. When he stabbed his spear, the wind was not small, but it was not difficult." The soldiers didn't seem to feel the respect in Hunyang's words, even more so in the words. There is no joy at all.
"Oh ..." Several warriors moved: "Why? You didn't turn your head."
"The warriors of different stages have their own different momentums. The momentum of the white warrior can already threaten me. Therefore, I have been observing silently ... Wait until you understand it later. If you really do it, I ca n’t beat it. He, his gun is too powerful. "Silence, forage added a few more words:" I have also seen stronger people, don't say hands on, standing in front of him is not stable. "
Even the pastures have been oppressed, so such a strong man should be able to be on the soul list.
"What is the stage and momentum? How can I not know?" The young people were curious enough.
"Mr. Pasture, what gun did he use? I have never seen it in the army." White, the former Knight of the Imperial Empire, asked strangely.
"I haven't seen it yet. However, I heard it. The history of this gun or this type of gun is at least 3,000 years old." Forage grass can already feel the raindrops falling from the sky-in the tropics, the so-called down Rain is when the humidity in the air reaches 100% and it condenses into water droplets and falls.
"How do you know?" People can't ask the knight to be as versatile as the magician, and the white knight doesn't understand.
"Do you know the tides of the magic elves?" The grass answered non-questions.
"What?" This time, not only the soldiers, but also the priests and mages became interested.
"According to the records in the book, the number of magic elves in the mainland is different in each period, just like the tide that the sea is surging, it will decrease or increase every interrupted time. Why is it called the magic calendar now, because A few years ago, the number of magic elves increased greatly. When there are more magic elves, there will also be fewer-of course, this more and less often separated by thousands of years. In the era of many magic elves, magicians are very Many, because an ordinary magic apprentice can reach the level of the previous magician, such powerful magic power, of course, there are many people studying. It is said that during the tide of magic elves, there are only magicians in the entire army sequence, and these The magicians are organized into magic knights, magic archers, etc. Moreover, in these times, the home does not even need to burn wood, and a large number of cheap magic scrolls are widely used. In the era of few magic elves, the mage is very rare. , Even the fire elves ca n’t be summoned, and the number of warriors is also very large.
The grass moved slightly, hiding under the large banana leaves to avoid too many rain drops falling on it:
The last low point of the magic elf was In the case of 3000 years, at that time, the number of warriors on all continents was extremely large, and even a large number of warrior-based mercenary regiments and a more rigorous organization called gangs were established. This gun was a very popular style at that time. What is obviously different from the current gun is that the role of this gun is completely used in individual combat, and its role in the cavalry sprint is very small. However, now if you want to use such weapons proficiently, you need to invest a lot of energy And there must be enough talented people. If the same students learn magic, they can at least look forward to the realm of the big magician, so martial arts are slowly obliterated. "The grass looked up at the sky, without looking at anyone, as if he was saying to himself Mumbling.
"How can I practice to beat him?" White asked the question he was most interested in.
"It's hard, just like the great magicians of their time can't compare with the second-level magicians of our time, we are quite far from them in terms of pure military power, unless, unless you find the handbook of martial arts handed down at that time. And at least more than 20 years of hard work, as well as the guidance of a famous teacher. "Forage shook his head, a faint sleepiness in his voice.
"Mr. Pasture, don't you know that you are sure of our action?" Master Chevalan asked softly.
"Nothing is meritorious," said the grass plainly. "It's too difficult for the few of us to get something from the fairy forest. It's too difficult. Fortunately, this time it's not going deep into the fairy forest. Otherwise, I will definitely quit now."
"This employer really knows that his grandmother is a bastard. It's not easy to steal. It is necessary to steal elf children. His grandmother, the grandfather doesn't cut his hand." The spirit monkey who has been confirmed to be a cave dwarf scolded angrily-- This race is simply a natural thief. Each of them has a height of 1m1, short hands and feet, a pair of pointed ears and a pair of eyes that emit green light at night, which is much more sensitive than ordinary humans. .
"I know." The words are not surprisingly endless. The film girl just finished talking, everyone looked at her in surprise.
"Actually, at noon, when we took the task, the employer was by our side." Even more startling words were spoken, and everyone else didn't know what the weak girl wanted to say: "That's the few masks Very thin people. "
"why?"
"How did you know?"
"Who are they?"
Although there are only eight people, it is absolutely true to reproduce the so-called "seven mouths and tongues" at this time.
"They are all elves, just, they are another kind of elf." Linna just finished, and the grass turned up in surprise: "Are they prairie elves or dark elves?"
"Oh ... It turns out that Mr. Forage also guessed some of them. They are dark elves." Linna's face also slightly surprised.
"What do they mean by doing this?" Although in the tropics, the mage still felt a chill in his bones: elves came to grab elven children, and these elves are the most mysterious killer family in the legend, elves, killers ... no matter which word Saying it is enough to shock a city.
"I heard their speeches ..." The filmman was interrupted by three or four people before he finished speaking. The young girl motioned for everyone to listen to her and said, "I can understand what they are talking about, which is not strange ..." As I said, the movieman suddenly disappeared in front of the crowd, and appeared again in a blink of an eye: "Because the movieman is their branch."
The elf is a very strange race, this race is dependent on the creation of God Realm but detached from other races of Creation God Realm. The most important thing is that there is a mysterious substance from the elven world in the elven blood. Therefore, although Genesis God Realm was repeatedly destroyed, the elf family can always go down, UU reading www.www. Not only that, uukanshu.com, even wisdom and knowledge can be passed on from generation to generation by the elders who took refuge in the elven world when the world was destroyed.
These nouns are not understandable by everyone, but in order to give all partners a general understanding, the filmmaker still tries his best to speak more clearly.
In this world, there is an elven race a few centuries ago, which is the dark elf race. This race has the same blood relationship with the current elf race from the upper elf world. In this race, the purest blood is called the dark elves. These pure-bred dark elves can immediately disappear without a trace even under the holy light. Unfortunately, there are fewer than 100 dark elves with such pure blood. Too. In order to ensure the reproduction of the race, the dark elves continue to plunder the elf children in the fairy forest, and then generate the next generation through the birth mode. These elves are called dark elves and also have the ability to be invisible; and the shadows are dark elves and ordinary human male The half-elf descendants born after the daughter loves her because they are not tolerant to human society and the dark elf society at the same time. These abandoned half-humans slowly gather together to live and eventually form their own world and unique race.
There was a wry smile in the corner of the grass's mouth, and Chevalier just saw it in his eyes: "Does Mr. Grass have any comments?"
"Nothing, it's just that I'm weird. Every dark elf person I meet seems to be branded with a meanness. His heart is guilty, and his heart should be killed." Lie down.
"You ..." The filmman misunderstood, thinking that the grass was projecting on the sand: "Dark elves are also life, and they also have the power to reproduce their own race!"
"Oh ... if that's the case, I don't think they are mean. I pointed another way, and I met you back, and I tell you, and now you don't believe it." After the grass said, he made a slight sound.
