[One more update...]
What a rare place to live! Salin did not expect that a Caucasian man he picked up in the wilderness would become so popular in an instant. WWw.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.COm
"What kind of contract and what kind of reward? Let's talk about it first." Salin drank from the cup and simply didn't look up at Cang Hong's annoying smile.
"Five hundred gold coins, I will give you 10% of the proceeds from the mission. For a formal employment contract, I will pay a deposit of 2,000 gold coins, guaranteed by the professional union." Cang Hong stated the conditions in one breath.
"Let's eat first." Salin was very dissatisfied with the conditions and did not agree to Cang Hong immediately. In fact, a first-level mercenary can't earn dozens of gold coins a year, and this is still a good business situation. However, Salin is a magician and can make magic potions, so the task of five hundred gold coins is of little value to him.
The fresh leg of lamb was put on a huge copper plate and brought to the table. Before anyone could do anything, Sika had already drawn the dagger from his waist, stepped on the chair with one foot, chopped it down with the sword, and cut it into half. leg of lamb.
She hugged the leg of lamb and began to chew on it as if no one else was watching. Everyone's eyes were widened. They knew how rough the Caucasians were, but a girl who looked like a flower tasted no different from those hairy savages.
Bah, bah, bah...
Sikka felt that the taste was a bit bland and shouted: "Boss, didn't you put any salt?"
"boss!"
Cang Hong shouted loudly, Sika was startled and looked at Cang Hong with wide eyes. Cang Hong resisted her inner impulse and shouted through gritted teeth: "Send some salt."
Salin became more and more suspicious of this pale red fourth-level mercenary group with silver badges. Is it necessary to make friends with two newly registered mercenaries like this? He reached out and grabbed the other half of the lamb leg, hugged it like Sikka and started to chew it.
Cang Hong and others looked at the empty copper plates and were confused. Are these two people really stupid or do they not take this mission seriously? With a commission of 500 gold coins and a share of the profits, a first-level mercenary group would not be able to earn this amount even in two years.
When the second plate of bison meat was served, Sika had already finished half of the lamb leg, so he directly pulled the bison meat in front of him and continued eating as if no one else was watching.
Cang Hong saw it and was sure in her heart that this magician really didn't care about the 500 gold coins. How can we impress him? Cang Hong was unwilling to raise the price. The magic robe on Salin showed that he was only a first-level magician, so the price was already very reasonable. If there are more, you can hire a third-level magician.
However, the third-level magician is not easy to control. Once he turns against him after completing the task, the entire team will be in danger.
"Then make an offer. As long as it's reasonable, I'll agree to it." Cang Hong said to Salin, who was still chewing on the leg of lamb.
"Yeah." Salin put down the leg of lamb. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Then he said: "I want to know what the mission is. The remuneration is calculated on a daily basis, paid in advance, and settled once a week. Thirty gold coins a day, 20 for me, 10 for the seat card. Go to the union to sign the contract, and you have to pay a deposit of 5,000 gold coins. Mission I want 30% of the income. If it works, you can tell me the task content. If it doesn’t work, we’ll leave after eating.”
"Do you think you are a great magician?" The sturdy swordsman with a scar on his face was angry. He was also hungry. Even two dishes were eaten by Salin and Sika, and he was feeling depressed. Hearing Salin put forward such high demands, he could no longer bear it, burst out and started to fight.
"If I were a great magician, I would pay 70%. I've seen the union's price list. Are my demands excessive?"
Cang Hong almost vomited blood. The great magician can indeed get 70% of the income from the mission, but you, a little magician, are not worth even 10% of the income. The price he gave was already high, but Salin's request was outrageous.
"Okay, I promise you." Cang Hong gritted her teeth and agreed. If it wasn't for the people in the group who had to go behind this matter, how could he agree to such an outrageous price? The deposit of five thousand gold coins wiped out all his savings. It took his team five years to save up.
"Then tell me, why do you have to hire Sika?" Salin was already full, stroking his stomach and looking at Cang Hong.
A blush appeared on her pale red face, and she whispered: "You can't go back on what you want to hear now. Even if this is Dean City..."
Salin glanced at the five people, and everyone looked at him nervously. A first-level magician is also a terrifying existence. There was a threat in Cang Hong's words. Who knew if this stupid Qing would be angry.
Of course Salin won't be angry. He is also a Skochenya and is a businessman's schemer from the bottom of his heart. The other party's request was reasonable, and he did not feel that his dignity was offended.
"Okay, just tell me, since I am willing to be hired by you, what do you have to worry about?"
Saleen was a little impatient. Being a mercenary was really troublesome, but it was not as easy as making magic potions. However, if I make potions, I will only earn a thousand gold coins a year, and this is still the case when I am the only apprentice in the entire city of Ceylon. This task has 30 gold coins every day, and you can share 20 of them. It will take less than two months to get the money you earned in the previous year.
Without waiting for Cang Hong's signal, Pino and Cook had already left their seats and went to stand guard at the door.
Cang Hong took a deep breath and whispered: "It's a ruins mission, not one issued by the union."
"I knew it, otherwise you wouldn't have to hire outsiders." Salin smiled happily. He is a rookie mercenary, but he has the genetics of an excellent businessman. So he was keenly aware of Cang Hong's secret. As expected, this task was very oily, and it would not be fair if he didn't scratch it.
"The mission location is in the Chaotic Swamp. I need a Caucasian to clear a 400-meter-long passage filled with fear monsters. The level is very low, but the number is huge. Only strong-willed Caucasian warriors will not be affected. Of course, level seven Magical mental shock is more effective, but I can’t afford it.”
"Monster fear? This thing is rare." Salin muttered, just enough for Cang Hong to hear clearly.
Cang Hong said vigilantly: "They are all first-level monsters, I can't add any more money."
"I understand, I understand." Salin calculated that Shika's level was at least a senior swordsman, and possibly even a swordsman. To deal with first-level monsters, even if there are hundreds of them, it won't be a problem. Every Caucasian warrior is blessed by a battle priest at birth and is immune to the spiritual attacks of the Horror. As for the physical attacks of the monsters, thirty or fifty of them could be blocked by the constant magic on their magic robes.
It was an easy task, and I made a profit this time.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the union." Sikka wiped her mouth and put down the clean plate.
"But... we haven't eaten yet."
"Why don't you eat?" Sika had a strange expression. The faces of the Cang Falcon Mercenary Group were as dark as the bottom of a pot. They thought to themselves, "You have eaten everything. Are we eating the northwest wind?"
After Shika was full, the members of the Cang Falcon Mercenary Group hurriedly finished the meal and took Salin to the union to go through the employment procedures. No matter how many people a large mercenary group has, it is common for them to hire low-level mercenary groups when they are short of manpower. After signing the contract and paying a deposit of 5,000 gold coins, even if Cang Hong and others died in this mission, Salin would still be compensated by the union.
In order to increase the traveling speed, Cang Hong reluctantly bought horses for Salin and Sika. Neither Salin nor Sika knew how to ride a horse, but Salin's strong mental power and the release of a little elemental power made it easy for his mount to calm down. As Sika was born with the ability to soothe animals, the group of seven quickly left the city and headed northeast.
The destination of the Blue Falcon Mercenary Group is Didipus, which is closest to the Chaos Swamp and has all the supplies. Didipus is also under the control of the Dragon and Rose Mercenary Group, and it is relatively safe to enter the Chaos Swamp from here.
It took seven people three days to get to Didipus. Salin had already earned 60 gold coins. Of course, Sika's 30 gold coins also belonged to him. The money for Sika's leather armor had not yet been repaid.
Seeing the walls of Didipus, Cang Hong smiled. It has become a bit deserted here. In addition to the season, the green dragon that appeared in the Garulan Principality also led most adventurers to the south. Choosing this time to enter the Chaotic Swamp is a God-given opportunity. He would rather spend more money to sign a contract in Dean City, but he just doesn't want to leave any traces in Didips.
There was no longer a member of the Cang Falcon Mercenary Group here. Cang Hong still did not go deep into the city. He replenished some food and water directly near the city gate, bought tents for Salin and Sikka, and immediately left Didip. Sri Lanka.
The Chaotic Swamp is very large and surrounded by mountainous areas. If you want to enter the swamp, you need to cross more than two hundred miles of mountain roads. Horses are actually not suitable for such an adventure. After entering the mountainous area, everyone got off their horses and moved forward on foot. The road also became rugged and desolate.
The wind in the mountainous areas in early winter was already very cold. Occasionally, herbivorous monsters would pass by on the road without even looking at the expedition team. They have turned a blind eye to the expedition team. The monsters in the Chaotic Swamp are usually poisonous, and the low-level monsters on the periphery are of little value. Explorers almost never attack them.
After going deep into the mountains, Salin finally felt relieved. Far away from the city, no one is following him. It seems that everyone's attention has been attracted by the green dragon. No one is interested in the mission to find him, right
Sika also became familiar with the members of the Cang Falcon mercenary group. Salin never spoke and just observed the mercenary group silently. Although he signed a contract with the union, Salin was still extremely cautious. This Cang Hong could carry his captain to the Chaos Swamp, so he might not kill himself and Sika after the expedition.
The members of the Blue Falcon Mercenary Group were also observing Saleen. They finally found this opportunity, and in a hurry they could only temporarily hire Sikka. Who knew that they also brought along a more expensive magician.
Generally speaking, magicians are very popular. In addition to being expensive, their role plays an important role in mercenary groups. Even a first-level magician's combat effectiveness will be close to that of a swordsman with sword energy. Moreover, the sword energy of a junior swordsman cannot be separated from the body. Compared with a magician, he has far fewer attack options.
In many complex environments, the survivability of magicians is stronger.
Everyone was very satisfied with Salin's performance. He didn't have the arrogance of a magician. Apart from not speaking, he hardly caused any trouble to everyone. Walking on the rugged mountain road, this young magician never complained. This is a regular mage, with good physical fitness, maybe he has an inheritance.
Everyone had a definition for Salin in their minds, and gradually felt at ease.
