The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 175: Want to be a mercenary?

Views:

Hao Ren filled the form indiscriminately, and pointed to the newspaper pretending to ask casually, "What happened to the Blood Lake in Beinz?"

He specially added the word "you" to prevent the other party from wondering why he was so ignorant, because it seemed that the blood lake had been in trouble since two months ago, and this may have been a well-known old news.

"Missing, continuous disappearance, the fourth group of people is gone," Wilton shook his head, "Since the first group of people went there two months ago to find the whereabouts of the orb of the temple, there have been four teams Missing, two of them are experienced mercenary teams, tsk tsk, there are dozens of people in total, and there are still people who follow."

"The pay is high," Becky couldn't help muttering, "If I didn't have a team, I would also like to join in the fun - if I can find the whereabouts of the orb, I will directly have a manor for one person! And the title of knight, I don't have to fight in this life !"

Standing next to Wilton, Hao Ren quickly glanced at the newspaper that still smelled of ink, and quickly grasped some key words. There was a paragraph on it that mentioned the situation of Beinz Blood Lake: "... It has been two months since the orb disappeared near the blood lake, and its whereabouts are still unknown... Viscount Brock, who was ordered to escort the orb, has been investigated by the joint council of the Holy See and the Kingdom. The Pope himself announced that the disappearance of the orb was a "test from the gods" , Viscount Brock was declared innocent... The headhunter mercenary team from the people disappeared when they crossed the south side of the blood lake by boat. The orb’s whereabouts are unknown. Prince Huffman announced the cancellation of this year’s parade celebration...” After all, they are still here with their eyes darkened. They said that they want to investigate the world, but they don’t have a clear goal. Since they want to take action, it is natural to choose a legend It is better to have many places with a long history, and right now there is a change in Beinz Blood Lake, so it seems like a good idea to use it as the first stop for my group in this world.

Moreover, ever since Becky heard about the Beinz Blood Lake and the destruction of ancient civilizations, Hao Ren has been very interested in that place with a strange name. There must be something behind the events that people regard as the end of the world and the historical sites associated with them.

At this time, even Nangong Wuyue, who wrote the slowest, had already filled out the form, and Becky began to urge everyone to leave. During the whole process, there was no such thing as "arriving in a strange place and being provoked and exploited by local soldiers". Hao Ren and his party just walked through the venue and registered the "accident" before being released. The first thing Becky did when she came outside the guardhouse was to reach out her hand to Hao Ren: "Where's the music box we promised?" Hand it over to Becky, "This is a baby, you will never find another one in this world!"

"Is this a music box?" Becky looked at this strange thing in surprise, "Why is it different from the flying one last time?"

As soon as Becky finished speaking, Hao Ren heard a bang in the pot at his feet. It seemed that the data terminal was taken aback. Of course, it was also possible that Doudou just turned it over again.

"This thing can't fly. But it has many more functions than last time." Hao Ren fiddled with the MP5 quickly, making people dazzled on purpose. "Look at this, you can also view pictures. You can also take pictures and record videos. Isn’t it better than the thing that can only sing last time? By the way, this is a charger. As long as you bask in the sun, you can recharge the energy of the ‘music box’…”…

Hao Ren was explaining here with great interest, and Vivienne suddenly felt a little inappropriate. While Becky lowered her head to play with the mp5, she quickly grabbed Hao Ren: "Wait! Is this okay? You give this thing to a local..."

"It's okay, how can an mp5 affect the balance of the world?" Hao Ren waved his hand nonchalantly, "And I've confirmed it last time, this world does have a similar alchemy technique, and taking pictures, videos and playing music is very important for people in this world. Yan is not a strange thing at all, the electronic equipment on the earth is at best small and strange in shape - as long as you don't disassemble it, it is an alchemy machine in this world."

What Hao Ren said is correct, but there is still one thing he doesn't know, that is, the alchemy technology in this world is still in the mode of small-scale handicraft industry, similar to this kind of entertainment products are made by senior alchemists, and are exclusively for the enjoyment of nobles High-end gadgets, or military products customized by the country and specially used by special soldiers, ordinary people have only heard of them and cannot come into contact with them.

So Betsy was dumbfounded after fiddling with this magical gadget with a screen, and hurriedly handed it back like a soldering iron: "Ah! This is too expensive! I just want a Music box... I dare not accept this if you give it to me. The crystal box at the mayor's house that can take pictures is enough to exchange for three good horses. You should keep this one and sell it to the rich... "

"You can take it if I give it to you. I don't take advantage of anyone." Hao Ren pushed the mp5, which was nothing in his eyes, forcefully. "Compared to this, we have something more to ask for your help."

"Ah? Just say what you want." Becky was a little dizzy from the excitement of the "baby" in her hand, and was still struggling to accept it or not. She nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.

"We want you to be our guide and go to the Lake of Blood in Beinz," Hao Ren said bluntly, "We are not familiar with this place, so it is not convenient to go anywhere. You also know that my hometown is in the Northern Empire... "

"Oh, yes, I still want to ask!" Betsy immediately came to her senses, "The last time I saw you, you were alone. How come there are so many more all of a sudden... Did you all teleport them over?"

"We specialize in portal research!" Lily puffed her chest out and said without thinking. Hao Ren gave the girl an approving look: the husky girl's ability to cooperate is getting stronger and stronger.

Becky looked suspiciously at this group of strange "mages" who could be said to be strangers. Years of mercenary career made her believe that there was definitely something wrong with the guys in front of her, but her years of mercenary career made her believe that the gang in front of her The guy who is wrong really needs help, and he is very likely to accept a business that can make a lot of money - the "music box" in his hand is a testimony, this thing is at least enough to exchange for a whole set of enchanted armor! But this kind-looking man in front of him just gave it up, so they are either members of the old mage tower with rich background and money, or nerds who don't know how to save money when they go out and study.

Either the man in front of me broke his brain when he really fell and is still not healed.

In any case, it seems to be quite profitable no matter what the situation is.

Becky's mercenary's shrewd calculations made a bit of calculation, and she felt that this matter would be profitable, so she nodded: "Okay, anyway, many mercenaries have signed up to join the search team, and I want to go too, but before that You have to register as a mercenary first—Many places around the Blood Lake of Beinz are dangerous areas, and civilians are not allowed to approach."

Y'zaks listened with great interest to Becky's mention of "mercenaries", and he remembered that there were similar combat professions in his hometown—in fact, as a demon king, he was once recruited by no less than four-figure mercenaries and brave men. I don’t know how many times I have formed a group to fight, but this time he actually wanted to register a mercenary for fun, which made the big devil feel very interesting. He asked curiously: "Is it troublesome to register?"

"Don't worry, mercenaries can be said to be the purest profession in the world. You trade your life for money, your life for reputation, and your life for everything. Money is the boss, and life is the capital. No one can fool anyone. It's very easy to register—the only thing not The easy thing is just to survive," Becky puffed her chest out, trying to show her side as a senior mercenary, and then asked a question, "By the way, you need a certificate to register as a mercenary, and your mage qualification certificate or identity certificate will bring it with you." without?"

Hao Ren: "..."

Why has no one ever asked them for this after time travel? !
