Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire tavern became a little subtle again.
The people around them once again looked like they were watching a good show, but the original two mysterious foreign men were gradually forgotten, and the protagonists became Benjamin and the table of hunters.
The hunter who had been shot gradually came to his senses and quickly pulled up his pants.
"You brat, you..."
He looked extremely angry, as if he was going to rush over and fight Benjamin to the death in the next second. But since there was no waistband, his pants would fall down as soon as he loosened his grip. Therefore, he became a little timid. He could only stand there and grin, unable to make any big moves.
Even his companions couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering when they saw his embarrassed appearance.
"Please, why are you still here?" Benjamin was a little helpless, "I have a gun in my hand, but you don't have a gun in your hand, so you can't beat me. You can't beat me, so you can't take revenge. Since you If you can't avenge this, then you'd better not waste everyone's time here, why not go back and fix your belt first, right?"
He felt that what he said was polite and reasonable enough, but unfortunately, the other party seemed to be unable to listen to any reason.
"I... I'm going to kill you!" He just held up his pants and jumped up and down, unwilling to give up and unable to really rush over.
The situation became awkward again.
"Forget it, he has a gun." Everyone at his table began to persuade him.
In this way, the whole situation was deadlocked for a while. In the end, the hunter was persuaded by his companions. He glared at Benjamin and the two foreign men respectively, then picked up his pants and walked away with his companions.
Finally, the tavern returned to calm again.
The onlookers shook their heads, showed disappointed expressions, and went on to do what they were supposed to do.
Seeing this, Benjamin put away his gun and prepared to go back to meditate.
"This little brother." Just as he turned to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind and stopped him, "Thank you for your help."
Benjamin turned around and saw the two mysterious men wrapped in robes walking over and saying this to him.
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." He waved his hand nonchalantly, "I don't want to help you, but this tavern is owned by my friend. I just don't want you to fight and break things."
However, after hearing this, the younger-looking man spoke, looking a little unconvinced:
"You are thinking too much. Even if there is a fight, the only thing that will be damaged will be the guy's arm." After saying that, he also touched the long sword on his waist, showing a bit of pride. expression.
Hearing this, the older man turned back and glared at him, as if blaming him for his frivolity, but did not say anything to refute.
… oh
Benjamin seemed to suddenly think of something and became interested.
These two people have a special temperament. They are more casual than those iron-blooded soldiers, and they also look arrogant than ordinary bandits and bandits. This casual sense of sharpness reminded him of the "Silver Fox" boss he met before.
Coupled with the fact that they were from abroad, and the long swords they wore on their waists that seemed to be possessed by enchantments, Benjamin quickly came to a conclusion.
"You are mercenaries."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two mysterious men looked at each other with somewhat subtle expressions.
The older one turned his head and looked at Benjamin: "I didn't expect that there are still people in the Kingdom of Horli who know the meaning of this word. Please don't tell other people. We are here just to find someone. There is nothing bad. Purpose."
Benjamin shrugged incredulously.
The two mercenaries from Icol reminded him of the assassin sent by another country to kill the Pope.
Is there really no other purpose
Although he was curious about what the mission of these two mercenaries was, mercenaries generally had relatively professional ethics, so he would definitely not be able to find out. Therefore, Benjamin did not ask too many questions to avoid getting into trouble.
On the contrary, he dismissed the bartender behind him, then lowered his voice and said, "I have a task here. I wonder if you can do it?"
The mercenaries looked a little surprised. They looked at each other again, and the older one also lowered his voice and said: "Generally, we need to go through the procedures of the Mercenary Association to accept tasks, but... sometimes we can also accept tasks privately."
He did not continue. Obviously, he had to wait for Benjamin to tell him the content of the mission and the reward before he could decide whether to agree to it or not.
But he didn't refuse, which was a good thing.
"Don't worry, the task is very simple." Benjamin took out a large bag of gold coins and waved it in front of them, "I just need you to go to the royal capital, dig out what I want in a relatively remote place, and then dig it out again Leave it to me and your mission is accomplished.”
Before leaving the royal capital, he buried many things out of caution, such as the trophy cross he got from the priest, the light element crystal, Anne's relic illusion mirror, and a whole box of blessed bullets... Although he left the royal capital When the time came, he was mentally prepared to give up these things, but if there was a chance, it would be nice to get them back.
Especially those crosses that strengthened mental power and mental recovery were of great help to him. Fortunately, he met two mercenaries here, so he simply asked them to help him get his things back.
He wasn't afraid that the two mercenaries would leak the news that he was a mage - they didn't know that Benjamin was a mage.
Besides, even if they knew that Benjamin was a mage, they would not reveal it to the church. The church hunts down mages and suppresses mercenaries at the same time. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and they will not help the church.
This is also the reason why Benjamin can safely hand over the task to these two people.
"We... will indeed pass through the royal capital." Hearing this, the older mercenary hesitated for a while and said, "However, we are not sure how long we will stay in Horli Kingdom. We are afraid that we will return to Crewe Town again. By the time, you had already left.”
"It doesn't matter. If I had left by then, then I must have gone abroad." Benjamin waved his hand and said, "Tell me your names and I will go to the Mercenary Association to find you."
Hearing this, the mercenaries hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
"If you go to the Mercenary Association and ask them where 'Ser and Louis' are, you will find us."
In this way, after discussing in low voices for a while, Benjamin paid them a deposit of two gold coins, and agreed that after handing over the things, he would be given the remaining eighteen gold coins. Then, he told the two mercenaries where the things were buried, thus settling the task.
After doing all this, Benjamin said goodbye to the two mercenaries and returned to the room in the backyard, ready to continue meditating.
As for the two mercenaries, they seemed to have had enough food and wine, so they left the tavern and walked outside the town, preparing to continue on their way.
On the road.
"We're lucky. We originally thought that our trip to Hori Kingdom was just a waste of effort. Fortunately, we took on an extra mission and made some money at least." The young mercenary said with some emotion.
Hearing this, the slightly older man snorted and said, "How do you know we are just wasting our efforts? If we can find that person, we will be paid more than we can spend in our next life!"
"The latest news says that he last appeared in a village near Pearl Lake north of the royal capital." The young mercenary shook his head and said, "But this was news a month ago. I heard that the Paladin We've been dispatched a lot, but we haven't found any trace of him. The master hired us to come here, what else can we find?"
Hearing this, the older mercenary showed a helpless look and said: "For such a big task, we have to give it a try. We are also well-informed and are ahead of the curve. In another month or two, it is estimated that half of Cole’s mercenaries will all come to the Kingdom of Hori to steal this mission from us.”
As he spoke, he paused and then continued: "At least, compared to them, we are ahead."
