In the morning, Regnar only glanced at Annelotte from a distance. After all, the scene was so chaotic and he didn't have much free time to appreciate that rare beauty.

But despite this, Regnar was still amazed by Annelotte's face. The light blue short hair and delicate face gave Annelotte a unique temperament that is very difficult to describe. She was as cold as ice and kept people away. He seems arrogant but not arrogant and domineering. He seems indifferent but has a lot of agility and cunning.

All in all, this beautiful girl left a deep impression on Regnar, a very deep impression. Although he had met Annelotte in the morning, Regnar still became a little dull when he saw Annelotte again.

Annelotte's facial features are as delicate and flawless as the most perfect carvings, but everyone knows that this cannot be made by human hands. Only nature can create such beautiful lines and combine them flawlessly. The girl's skin is extremely white and tender, as white and translucent as the first snow on the branches, but under this pure white there is a touch of pink, which makes her complexion not look pale at all.

To be honest, the close observation of Annelotte gave Regnar a considerable visual impact, and now he was trying to wake himself up from this impact.

"Excuse me, can I come in?" Annelotte's tone sounded more like a question than a request.

"Oh, of course, please come in." After Regnar came to his senses, he quickly invited Annelotte into the room.

"Thank you." Annelotte always gave people a cold feeling. From a close distance, Regnar seemed to feel that the breath of this beautiful girl was filled with chill.

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Mage this morning, welcome." Kordak greeted warmly.

"Thank you for what happened in the morning." Vera was also very enthusiastic. Because she saved Regner's life at a critical moment, Annelotte also left a very good impression on Vera.

"Uh..." Regnar wanted to say something, but his words of welcome were spoken by Kordak, and his words of thanks were snatched away by Vera, so after holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "Sit, sit..."

Annelotte found a place to sit down, then glanced at the three of them coldly, and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Annelotte."

"It turns out to be Miss Annelotte. Thank you Miss for saving me this morning. Otherwise, my little brother might be in danger. Oh, I'm so rude. Please allow me to introduce you. I am Kordak and this boy is Lei. Gena, and this is Vera, the three of us are mercenaries." Kordak understood the terrifying strength of the delicate girl in front of him, so he did not dare to neglect her at all.

"I know all three of your names. Please don't get me wrong. It's not that I meant to pry into anything, it's just that Kordak's team is quite famous in the Mercenary Alliance branch of Meteorite City." Annelotte said.

"So, why did Miss Annelotte come to us this time?" Kordak asked. This girl left a very deep impression on him when she took action in the morning, and afterwards he wanted to find Annelotte and tell her He thanked her in person, but he and Vera searched for a long time and couldn't find her, so they had to give up.

Now Annelotte came to her door again, which made Kordak a little curious about her purpose.

Annelotte nodded and said: "Since the three of you are here, let me tell you straight. In fact, you three should decide this matter together. To put it simply, I want to join your mercenary team. .”

"ha?"

This time, Kordak and the other three were stunned. They had guessed Annelotte's purpose.

For example, to express gratitude, Kordak has already prepared his words for this. The scene of thanks is certain, and he is also ready to do something for Annelotte. After all, she did save Regnar. For this reason, Kordak was prepared to agree to anything Annelotte ordered as long as it was not too outrageous.

But he didn't expect that Annelotte would make such a surprising proposal to join our mercenary team? According to Kordak's rough estimate, Annelotte is at least a level ten magician.

As we all know, magicians are the most prominent group of people in all professions. Putting aside those magic apprentices who only know some flashy zero-level tricks, all magicians who have achieved a little success have high aspirations and are extremely wealthy. Greedy guys, they neither bother to work with those vulgar warrior professions, nor do they bother to work for those pitiful commissions. Therefore, although there are many members of the Mercenary Alliance, mages are a very rare "rare species" among them.

From another level, the reason why mages have such a noble status is not only because they are few in number, but also because of their ability to control the wind and rain and destroy the world.

At the same level, mages can crush almost all other professions. Even when the level difference is not too outrageous, it is not uncommon for mages to kill by leapfrogging.

No one will doubt that mages are the most terrifying group of people in the world. This can be seen from the Eyes of the Mystery alone: the Eyes of the Mystic Association is the smallest among the four major forces, and its overall number of members is not even A quarter of the members of the Mercenary Alliance, and such a sparse organization can become one of the four major forces in the human world in the Eastern Continent because it has absorbed nearly three-quarters of the mages in the Eastern Continent.

In fact, except for the newly rising Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, which has an extremely tough attitude under the leadership of a president who has entered the sanctuary, the other two organizations often consciously act like inferiors when communicating with the Eye of the Mystic. From this posture, we can see how terrifying the eyes of the secret are, and how terrifying the mage is.

Kordak has no doubt that if the three of his team fight with Annelotte, once this beautiful girl puts them at a certain distance, apart from Vera who can be a certain threat, he and Regnar will be the real deal. A living target.

Such a terrifying person who could destroy the entire team would actually ask to join their team? This can no longer be said to be pie in the sky, right? What fell down was directly a golden lump! Therefore, the three Kordak were a little confused by this "golden pimple", thinking that they heard something wrong.

"Yes, I want to join your mercenary team and work as a mercenary with you." Annelotte was not surprised by the surprised expressions of the three of them, and just repeated it in a cold tone.

After confirming that he heard correctly, Kordak began to think about it seriously.

There is no doubt that the team's strength will be greatly reduced after losing an all-round support figure like Silenos. At this time, it would be a very good thing to have a strong player to supplement the team. However, Kordak is not an idiot whose eyes light up when he sees benefits. There must be some reason why Annelotte suddenly asked to join.

"So... what's the reason? Please forgive my presumption. Although our team does need additional personnel at present, and you have indeed far exceeded our requirements, your sudden request to join is really a bit... What do you think?" Korda Ke carefully prompted Annelotte to give an explanation.

Annelotte nodded: "I can understand your doubts. In fact, there is nothing to hide. I studied under a high-level mage who lived in seclusion in Falling Star City. When I was four years old, the teacher noticed my magic talent. He took me to start practicing magic, and it has been twelve years now. Now that my teacher thinks I have achieved some success, he decided to let me go out and experience it. He said that only through the test of life and death can I make a breakthrough. So I chose to work as a mercenary, and after some inquiring, I found that your team's reputation is really good in the city, so I was very interested in joining your team."

"I see." Kordak lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Vera and Regnar.

"No problem, I think there's no problem." Regnar did not hesitate, nodding his head as if he was pounding garlic.

Vera glanced at Regnar and said, "I agree. If there is one more woman in the team, I will have someone to talk to me in the future. Besides, this little sister is so cute."

Kordak deliberately looked at Annelotte, and he knew that there was a reason for Vera to say so much. This is because most mages have gradually had their personalities distorted to a certain extent by the compliments of others, and their tempers have become weirder and weirder.

Annelotte's cold look must have come from this, and Vera just wanted to see what Annelotte's character was like because she was her sister and called Annelotte cutely.

If Annelotte is furious because of these names, then Kordak really doesn't want her very much. After all, she is living a life of licking blood with a knife. Who can stand the attention of grandma and grandma? After seeing that Annelotte still had that cold expression and was unmoved, Kordak felt relieved.

"Then, I don't have any objections, but before that, I think there are still some conditions we need to discuss." Kordak saw that this matter was still far away from dinner time, so he decided to take advantage of this moment to settle everything. It was finalized. After all, such a powerful mage was still quite popular. This would save him a lot of nightmares.

"Please tell me, as long as it's not too much, I think I can accept it." Annelotte said.
