The three of them were suddenly startled, and then Vera felt a cold air coming from behind, making her tremble. It turned out that at some point, a thin and capable man wearing black leather armor appeared behind Vera!
Kordak moved slightly, but before he could say anything, Silenos reacted. He drew his sword and rushed towards the man without hesitation, while shouting: "Vera, leave quickly!"
Vera forced herself to calm down and quickly pulled out the dagger on her calf to turn around and cut across. However, neither Silenus nor Vera got what they wanted.
The man smiled slightly, raised his right hand flat and grabbed Silenus's wrist in an instant, and then exerted force on his hand. Silenus in the air only felt a force coming. When he came to his senses again, , and has sat safely on the chair again. The man's left hand gently pressed Vera's right shoulder, and Vera felt a force coming down from her right shoulder, making her unable to move anymore.
"High-level warriors!" Silenos and Vera couldn't help but feel horrified that ordinary mid-level warriors could not suppress them so easily.
"Please don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm." The man smiled.
"It's just that the way Mr. Alex appears every time is a little bit funny." Kordak's face didn't look good.
"Okay, I apologize for my behavior just now." Alex bowed slightly: "Won't Mr. Kordak introduce your team members to me?"
Kordak stood up and closed the door that Alex had opened at some point, then sat on the chair and sighed: "Okay, this is the member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild I told you before, and this time too The person who entrusted the mission is Mr. Alex. And these two are my companions, Vera and Silenos. So, what’s the matter with Alex’s visit this time?”
Alex took out a big cloth bag from his waist and threw it on the table like magic: "This is the three hundred gold coins agreed before. You can order some."
"That's not necessary." Kordak waved his hand proudly: "I believe that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild will not plot anything against us little minions. But I have something to ask."
"Speaking."
"Although we all know that mercenaries never ask why when doing things. However, your commission this time is really strange. We don't ask you to tell us all the inside stories, but I wonder if you can say something to make us feel relieved. ?I think this will be good for us, Regnar, and the client."
Kordak spoke vaguely, but Alex also understood the meaning. He smiled slightly: "I understand what you mean. Please don't worry. My commission this time... Well... Actually, it can be regarded as our guild. A training program for newcomers. I guarantee that it does not have any malicious purpose, nor for anyone. I wonder if you are satisfied with what I say?"
"Satisfied." Kordak breathed a sigh of relief, then pushed the money bag on the table: "In this case, please take back the commission."
"Oh? What does this mean?"
Kordak smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I really like this kid Regnar and really want to be friends with him, so I don't want to turn this matter into a money transaction. If I accept you Money, then I'm afraid I will feel a little uncomfortable when I face him in the future. Moreover, I rescued people because I received money. If this kind of thing spreads, I will not be able to hang around in Falling Star City anymore. It's that simple. . But you can rest assured that even if I don’t charge your money, I will still let Regnar join our team. This kid has a good temper with me, and I am very willing to recruit him to join my team."
"If you don't want it yourself, don't you have to consider the rest of the team?" Alex looked at Vera and Silenos.
"There is no need to discuss this kind of thing. I believe my teammates are not that kind of people." Kordak looked at his two companions confidently, and they both nodded.
"Okay! It is indeed the mercenary team with the best reputation in Falling Star City. It seems that entrusting you this time is the right choice. However, please take the money back." Alex pushed the money bag over again.
Kordak frowned and said unhappily: "What? Do you think I'm just showing up?"
"I don't doubt Mr. Kordak's character." Alex explained: "It's just that I considered that Regnar was almost completely broke after he came here..."
Kordak shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Alex is too polite. Not only is that kid poor, he comes here naked."
"Uh... Okay." Alex looked strange: "In short, Regner is very poor. Even if he works with you as a mercenary, I think he will need a lot of equipment and props, so
Please transfer this money to him as his start-up capital, and the rest will be used as money for Regnar to treat you to drinks in the future. Of course, as before, please don't reveal anything about me or our guild. "
"What kind of bad luck did Regnar have?" Kordak curled his lips: "I really can't think of anything better than me besides being able to eat, so he actually attracted the attention of a giant like you? I’m afraid you will send people to secretly protect him in the future, right?”
Alex shook his head: "No, you guessed it wrong. From now on, your mercenary life will be the same as before. We will not send anyone to follow or protect you. So please carry out the mission in the future. Don’t take any chances when it comes to success.”
"Okay, I thought someone would be an invisible bodyguard for us in the future. So is there anything else? Your Excellency, you didn't come here specially to give us a commission, right?"
"That's natural." Alex nodded: "The main purpose of my coming here this time is actually related to your test of Regnar."
…
"Sister Vera, are you sure you want me to buy it? This is a full fifty gold coins." Even though he didn't spend his own money, Gregna was still a little overwhelmed when he looked at the price on the label, and Vera's performance also made He couldn't help but recall the scene in the morning:
Regnar was picked up by Korda early in the morning and began to complete today's planned tasks under his arrangement. Kordak is going to the Mercenary Alliance today to go through the relevant procedures for completing the mission, and he also has to sort out the trophies obtained from this trip, and get rid of the ones that should be sold, such as the Swift Shadow Dragon Skin, as soon as possible. Silenus took everyone's weapons and went to the blacksmith's shop for repairs.
"Let's go Regnar! Let all the shop owners kneel down in front of us and sing Conquer!" Vera's fighting spirit was high, and the soaring fighting spirit in her eyes made the other three almost tremble.
Just when Regner was a little confused, Kordak secretly pulled him aside and whispered: "I said, Vera, this woman's money never counts, you should be more careful."
"You gave her two hundred gold coins. You can't spend it all, right?" Regnar looked at Vera, who was still shouting with fighting spirit.
"You know nothing!" Kordak sprayed Regnar in the face again.
Regnar wiped his face expressionlessly: "Boss, you really need to change your speaking habits."
Kordak ignored Regner and continued: "The more gold coins this woman has, the faster she spends it. If you give her twenty gold coins, she can spend it in a week. If you give her fifty gold coins, she can spend it in one day. If you give her 100 gold coins, she can spend it in half a day. If you give her 200 gold coins, I can probably spend it all in a short walk to a store!"
"I...I'm..." Regna was stunned for a long time before she came up with these two words. She really couldn't imagine how a person could spend all 200 gold coins in a shop. Did he own the shop
"Then boss, please don't let Sister Vera lead me. Who will replace her with you or Brother Silenos?"
"You see how I can stop her?" Kordak cried sadly.
Regna turned his head to look at Vera, who was in high spirits, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Then... I see Sister Vera's state, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop her by then."
"You have to stop me even if you can't! Otherwise, just wait for Vera to mortgage you into the store! I won't have the money to redeem you by then!" Kordak said this viciously and left.
…
Regnar came back to his senses, opened the money bag and looked at it, his face turned green.
From the time they set out until now, Regnar and his wife have only visited two stores. They bought two fine steel daggers, a mithril-edged long sword, and six pieces at a weapons store called "Hammer of Flames". Throwing knives, two rock climbing hooks, a mithril wire with a hair thickness of five meters, a blow tube and a set of anesthesia blow needles.
After coming to this props and equipment store called "Survival Journey", they bought some smoke bombs, several sets of trap making parts, two pieces of tight leather armor, a pair of gloves, boots, and wrist guards. And now Vera is eyeing the shadow cloak hanging on the wall...
"Oh, I don't feel bad about the money. Why do you feel bad about it!" Vera looked at Regnar who was almost armed to the teeth with satisfaction, then turned to the store owner and said the words that drove Regnar crazy: "Boss , bring me that cloak!"
