Because of Shaar's vivid propaganda, Ron couldn't help being moved, and after a short discussion, he still decided to go.
However, Xia Ya suggested that since the mission of Heijing is extremely dangerous, it is recommended that those with too low strength do not need to go, so Fatty, Karachi, and Lantry with primary strength are excluded. Although Ron wants to fight for it, Fatty and the others think that The strength is too low and she doesn't want to drag everyone down, so she voluntarily refuses, but Manni's strength is promoted to a high level, and she can barely do it, so the matter is finally finalized.
Of course, in addition to Ron's 302 dormitory, Char also contacted other people, and called them together when they set off.
After several days of preparation, while waiting, Ron finally received a notification from Char to set off tomorrow.
This year's winter is particularly cold, with heavy snowfall. It has only been less than half a day since it fell, and the snow is already more than half a foot deep.
Ron, Aurora, Ransim, Manny, and Angel in Dormitory 302 had already waited early on the large square at the front gate of Barovac College, which was the meeting point designated by Shaar.
They had been waiting for quite a while, their bodies were covered with snowflakes, the 302 dormitory was the first to arrive here, Shaar and the others hadn't arrived yet.
An Qier was wearing a thick coat, stomping her legs, rubbing her hands constantly, putting her hands to her mouth to breathe, and said dissatisfiedly, "None of these guys have arrived yet, ah... If I knew it, I would have gone to bed late, so they can wait for us..."
Aurora smiled slightly, "They should be here soon, just wait patiently!"
Angel muttered, but fell silent.
After a while, two figures approached from a distance, a man and a woman. The man was tall and the woman was beautiful. After a closer look, it turned out to be Heifers, and next to her was his wife, Misoia.
Haefels saw Ron early in the morning, and greeted him from a distance, "Hey, Ron, are you here so early?"
Ron also laughed, he had already expressed his hostility towards Hayfels, and he also smiled, "You guys are here too, hey, why are there only two of you?"
Hafels smiled wryly, "They all refused to come. They shook their heads like rattles when they heard about the mission of Sombra. There were still two people who wanted to come, but they changed their minds early this morning!"
Only then did everyone understand that this black crystal mission was more dangerous than imagined, and not everyone dared to come. Of course, the greater the danger, the greater the benefits. Naturally, those with an adventurous spirit would not take the danger seriously.
At this time, Char appeared, and she naturally followed Kadina, and of course there was another person, Ifat, who had always loved Char deeply.
Ifat could feel Shaar's indifference towards Merklin, and he thought he would have a chance to get Shaar, so he also followed.
Xia joked as soon as he came, "Your dormitory 302 is amazing. There are actually five people here. I really don't know what to say about you. Are you ignorant and fearless? Or are you quite confident in your own strength?"
Ron looked at it, and sure enough, his own dormitory came the most, plus he was five people, and Highfels came to the couple.
However, the appearance of a person made everyone puzzled, and Merklin walked slowly towards the sky full of snowflakes.
The nerves of everyone in the 302 dormitory tensed suddenly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in their eyes. Those murderous intents were all aimed at one person, and that was Merklin.
Aurora's face sank, "Shaar, what do you mean?"
The entire Balovaks College knew that Merklin and Ron were at odds. Merklin accepted the order of the Holy See to assassinate Ron, but in the end it was not resolved, but the relationship between the two also cast a shadow. It's just limited to the college's regulations that the two are not allowed to fight. If they are outside the college, Ron and Merklin will fight to the death.
To be honest, Ron has always suspected that Merklin was involved in the attack and killing by the Holy See in the woods last time, otherwise it would not explain why the Holy See knew his whereabouts and happened to appear here.
When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous. There was a trace of murderous intent in Ron's eyes. He said coldly, "Shaar, I think you owe me an explanation!"
The tense atmosphere between the two made Xia a little embarrassed. She made an appointment with Ron first, and Merklin stalked him after she knew about it.
Considering the grievances between Ron and Merklin, Xia's attitude at the beginning was to refuse. After all, putting two people with hatred in a team knows that nothing good will happen. If the two fight Then don't do anything, Xia Ya didn't want to get involved in the grievances between Ron and Merklin, so she chose not to help each other.
But Merklin said something that Shaar couldn't refuse.
That is, he has withdrawn from the Holy See and no longer accepts the task of killing Ron, so Shaar brought him here with the intention of giving it a try.
At this time, Merklin stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Ron, there is something I must tell you, whether you believe it or not, I have withdrawn from the Holy See!"
Merklin's words were to the point, but everyone understood what he meant when they heard it, so Ron was killed because of the order of the Holy See, and he was eager to do meritorious service. The basis no longer exists.
Merklin is telling the truth. He has indeed withdrawn from the Holy See. Perhaps the failure of the previous mission caused Wharton's dissatisfaction. The matter of the Holy Son was never mentioned again, and no one even took the initiative to contact him.
Merklin knew in his heart that he had been abandoned by the Holy See because he was no longer useful.
If you don’t have it, you don’t have it, can’t I, Merklin, be able to stand out if I don’t become the Holy Son? In this world, there are many forces that one can rely on, and there is not one more Holy See.
To be honest, Merklin was very unwilling in his heart. If he had the ability to kill Ron and complete Lord Wharton's mission, there would be absolutely no problem with his position as the Holy Son. Unfortunately, he had not killed Ron at this time. Even if you fight one-on-one, you may not have a chance of winning.
The corner of Merklin's mouth twitched, and he took the initiative to say, "Ron, there is no grievance between us. Everything started because of the Holy See. Before, it was just that the two sides were their own masters, but now that I have withdrawn from the Holy See, I don't care about it." Accept their mission again, I think the misunderstanding between us can be eliminated... "
Ron was skeptical about Merklin's statement, but he said in a cold voice, "Merkelin, I don't care what I do. I'm ugly, and whether you join or withdraw from the Holy See has nothing to do with me. If you If you want to trouble me, I don't mind attacking you! At that time, it will be the end of endless death, even Shaar can't stop me... "
"Understandable!" Merklin nodded expressionlessly, "So, I can join this team?"
Xiaya said, "If other people agree, then there is no problem!"
Ron was silent for a while, then nodded. The others followed Ron's lead. Ron agreed, and they were fine, but looked at Merklin from time to time with a hint of vigilance, and the atmosphere was still very awkward.
The last person to come was Hera. As soon as she arrived, she said shyly, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late!"
"It's okay!" Shaar waved his hand and said with a smile, "Now everyone is here, let's go!"
…
A group of ten people left the Balovakis Academy and marched towards the goal in a mighty manner. The place they were going was the headquarters of the Mercenary Union.
None of them had horses or other means of transportation. For a professional mercenary, riding a means of transportation was not a good habit. They were going to inaccessible and extremely dangerous places that even horses could not get over.
The adventure team embarked on the journey in this way.
The headquarters of the mercenary union was very far away from the city of Balovacus. He thought it would take at least ten and a half months to get there. Unexpectedly, the mercenary union would arrive that afternoon.
Shaar's method is also very simple. He just came to a city not far from Barovakes City, found a mercenary station, and used the space magic teleportation array of the mercenary station to directly teleport to the headquarters of the mercenary union.
This method opened Ron's eyes. As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, the mercenary union would arrive. The speed was unimaginably fast, and it was very convenient.
But convenience is convenience, and the price of using the space magic teleportation array is expensive. Calculated by the head, each person costs 3,000 gold coins. Ten of them spent 30,000 gold coins in an instant, which made Ron speechless.
In addition to the space magic teleportation array, there is another way to go to the headquarters of the mercenary union, which is to ride a trained giant eagle, and the falcon trainer will fly directly to the destination in the air. As for the price, it is cheaper, that is, About two hundred gold coins, the time is about three days and three nights.
But everyone here is a rich man, and they are all elites participating in the Academy Ranking Tournament Final Four. Those people will not take this small amount of money seriously, and everyone pays for it by themselves.
As for Ron's 302 dormitory, he won the college championship and was extremely rich, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Walking out of the teleportation hall of the mercenary union headquarters, Ron was shocked by what he saw.
This place, known as the headquarters of the Mercenary Union, is a super large city. This city is seven times larger than the entire city of Balovakia, and its prosperity is not comparable to that of Balovakia. Even Milan City, the imperial capital of the Roland Empire, is far inferior.
The wide streets are lined with well-arranged buildings. These buildings are not big, but they are full of commercial atmosphere. Quite simply, this is almost the largest commercial city in Noah's continent.
There are a lot of shops, and there are fat-headed or mouse-headed businessmen shouting at the door. The shelves in the shops are full of beautiful things. Rows of "roads" gather on the street and at the foot of the wall, waiting eagerly, with hope in their eyes. look, waiting for their employers.
Most of the people who come and go here are mercenaries, of course there are also businessmen and tourists, but generally speaking, the mercenaries here are the most popular crowd. Every mercenary walks on the street, there are always no less than three times As for the chatting above, everything here revolves around mercenary services. Whether you are buying or selling things, drinking, massage, tea tasting, watching a theater, or even looking for girls, as long as you want, you can find everything here.
As long as you show the proof of mercenary status - the mercenary medal, to the eyes of those merchants, you can discuss any discounts, discounts, points, gifts, as long as you want, of course, the premise is that you have to bring them to him. profit.
The eyes of the businessmen here are very poisonous. It is said that a qualified businessman can tell whether a person is a mercenary by looking at a person for three seconds. This is just a basic skill. More powerful businessmen can even tell whether a person wants to buy or sell , Whether it is a big business or a small business, whether it is a good harvest or nothing, all kinds of ways are not enough for outsiders.
Simply put, this is a paradise for mercenaries.
I don’t know why, it’s winter now, there’s heavy snow outside, the cold wind howls, and the dripping water turns into ice, but it’s still as warm as spring here, and there’s not even a single snowflake.
