Unsuccessful recruitment is a normal thing in the mercenary world. Although it is a pity, it is not a big deal.
They were just surprised that the reason for Jessica's refusal was to warm the master's bed. They felt that this ideal was a bit 'disgraceful'. After all, Jessica was also an elite-level assassin. Among mercenaries, her strength was considered to be above-average. Moreover, she was still so young, and it was a certainty that she would become a master in the future.
A future master who only wants to be a personal maid is really unambitious.
"You shouldn't just think about being a servant of the nobles." The female mercenary persuaded: "Your future is very bright, and you don't need to bow your knees."
Although most of the mercenaries are looked down upon by the nobles, they are considered a symbol of rudeness and barbarism.
But discrimination is a matter of both sides, and the mercenaries are looking directly at the nobles.
In private, I think they are all trash, betting on a good tire.
This is the status quo of nobles and mercenaries, they discriminate against each other, but in their hearts, they envy each other.
The nobles envy the freedom and strength of the mercenaries, and the mercenaries want to have the identity of the nobility and a comfortable life.
Hearing what the female mercenary said, Jessica was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But the master picked me up from the street, it was the master who taught me how to read, and it was the master who gave me life. Even my current strength is beyond my control. It was given by the master, why can't I be his maid?"
This... strength can still be given
Don't professionals rely on their own hard training and then awaken themselves
Sensitively sensing the point of Jessica's words, the middle-aged mercenary asked in surprise: "You said, your strength is given by your master?"
Jessica nodded repeatedly.
Rooney felt that it was inappropriate for Jessica to speak out, but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with it, so he did not stop it.
"And what about you?"
Carissa said nothing, and neither did Rooney.
"It's all given by the master. Carissa was just a young lady." Jessica said quietly while eating the barbecue: "The master's ability is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us."
Jessica's voice was very soft, her eyes reflected the red color of the fire, and she looked at Sen Han abnormally.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, the four mercenaries felt their scalps go numb.
But then Jessica smiled: "But the master has a very good heart, as long as he doesn't get really angry, he never shoots at others."
With this smile, the four mercenaries felt that the cold breath just now disappeared.
The middle-aged mercenary gently let go of the hilt in his hand. He almost couldn't bear the pressure just now, and was about to draw his sword to defend himself.
After such a small episode, they no longer mentioned the matter of letting the three of them join the team.
But Jessica's words caused huge waves in their hearts.
They know very well how much they have suffered in order to become professionals, but now, there is actually a way for people to become professionals directly.
No wonder Rooney and Carissa looked more like a young man and a young lady, especially Carissa, who didn't have the feeling of becoming a professional after hard training.
After everyone ate the dry food and assigned the candidates for the night watch, they rested.
At dawn the next day, everyone had a dry food breakfast, and after resting for a while, they were going to go down to the ruins again to explore.
It went smoothly at first. After all, they knew all the traps and mechanisms in the places they had explored. When they got down into a cave like an altar with many black coffins in the South Park, they felt something was wrong.
There was a bone on the altar, and the female mercenary walked over holding a torch, looked at it for a while, and said, "It was a woman who was stabbed in the heart by a short knife and died."
She drew a dagger from the skeleton's chest.
The dagger was still brand new as if it had been newly made, with a small emerald set in the hilt.
"This is a magic weapon." The female mercenary exclaimed in surprise, "If it is sold, it should be worth at least a few gold coins."
Any magic weapon usually costs dozens of gold coins, but buying it is another matter. Anyone with a bit of experience knows that any weapon recycling will cost at least 60% of the price.
It's normal to have a dark heart.
Everyone was a little surprised, except Jessica.
She is not very interested in money, but curious about strange things.
The black coffins were neatly placed in the wall cavity, densely packed, like bee pupae in a beehive.
She tried to open a few black coffins, and found that most of the corpses inside had been turned into bones, but a few of them seemed to maintain their appearance before they were alive, but there was no moisture and they looked a little shriveled.
"very strange."
At this time, another man's voice came from the side.
"Come here, there is a big hair Su here."
Everyone leaned over and found that there was a strange ritual platform inlaid on the innermost cave wall, which was about the same height as a normal man, and a huge snake statue hovered above it.
And at the bottom of the snake's mouth, there is a large light green gemstone.
The gem was at least about the size of a leather ball.
Under the light of the torch, through the gap in the snake's mouth, you can see the gems reflecting a trace of green crystal light, which is dazzling.
"It's a real fortune."
Everyone was almost rendered in the light of the gemstone. Jessica leaped a few times, climbed onto the body of the stone snake, and soon stood on the head of the snake.
She stretched out her hand to dig out the gemstone, but found that the snake's mouth had securely stuck the gemstone.
She poked a few times with the dagger unwillingly, only a few sparks splashed.
"The stone is very hard, and it cannot be opened by normal means. There may be some mechanism."
Jessica jumped off the snake's head.
Holding a torch, the female mercenary greeted the audience at the ceremony platform, and said, "There is a hole here, like a keyhole."
Several people approached, and the middle-aged mercenary looked at it for a while and said, "It seems to be in the shape of a short blade."
Everyone was stunned, and the female mercenary took out the magic dagger from the backpack, made a gesture, and said in surprise: "It seems to be this thing."
"Do you want to put it in?"
The female mercenary looked at the surrounding people and asked.
Rooney looked at it for a while, and said: "There are words written on the ceremony table. I think it's better to decipher it. After all, the mission we received is to explore this area."
"But if it is reported to the union, this gem will not be ours."
When Rooney heard it, he also felt that it made sense. This emerald looks good and is big, and it can definitely sell for hundreds of gold coins.
If it is a material for magic enchanting, it is more valuable.
"Why don't you ask the master to help us see it." Jessica said suddenly: "The master can understand all kinds of words. If he comes here, he will definitely know whether we should open this ceremony platform. Besides, the master is rich. He definitely doesn't like this thing, and won't snatch it from you."
