“Sir, a few mercenaries said that they accepted the commission of the Mercenary Guild. They are waiting for you downstairs now.” Not long after Qin Lun and Seaver returned to the tavern, the waitress knocked on the door to inform them of a piece of good news.

“So fast!” Qin Lun and Hill exchanged glances and saw the hesitation in each other’s eyes.

They didn’t know much about Toril World’s mercenary organization, but they had never eaten pork or seen pigs run. Normally, even if a mission was more popular, the mercenaries would first consider the gains and losses of the mission and then decide whether to accept the mission.

Most importantly, unless contacted in the lobby of the Mercenary Union, the Mercenary Organization stipulated that registered mercenaries could not come to their employers in private.

One reason was that the Mercenary Union needed to extract the introduction fee from it. The other reason was that sometimes, there was not only one Mercenary Group that wanted to take missions. The Mercenary Union also needed to screen among them. This was the responsibility of the Mercenary Union to the employer.

Even if the employer wasn’t too picky, it would still take three to four days. In addition, employers and mercenaries had to prepare resources for field expeditions. In most cases, it would take a week for an employment contract to be formally signed, and then they would set off for their destination.

Of course, Qin Lun and the others didn’t have that much time to waste, so they did their best to speed up the process. For example, spending heavily on the commissioning process, asking the Mercenary Union to omit the screening process and volunteer to recommend a suitable mercenary group to them.

In addition, it was stated in the terms of employment that only a mercenary group that had prepared exploration materials could accept this mission.

This kind of condition actually limited that only large mercenary groups could satisfy the entrustment conditions, because only large mercenary groups had enough credibility to allow the mercenary union to guarantee it, and they had sufficient financial resources to prepare survival supplies in the wilderness at normal times.

Of course, even so, they didn’t just leave. They also needed to weigh the risk of the mission and how many people they needed to safely complete the mission. Only one week of preparation time could be shortened to two or three days, which was also the limit that Qin Lun and the others could endure.

“It must be those bastards who want to take advantage of me.” Seaver’s face flushed red in the room as he panted heavily.

He had been depressed for a while. Now that he calmed down and thought back, he would always feel that the world was so dark and the hearts of people were so sinister. He missed Mason Old butler more and more when he was still alive.

“Don’t worry, let’s go down and take a look. Rand is here to accompany you!” Hill smiled and comforted Qin Lun. He gave Qin Lun a look and the two of them went downstairs side by side.

“Toril world, you are more familiar with it. In your opinion, is this trouble or luck?” Hill asked cautiously on the guild channel.

“If they don’t have a letter of recommendation from the Mercenary Guild, that would be troublesome. On the contrary, they should be small characters who want to take advantage of them.” Qin Lun replied with a faint smile, “For us, as long as we are not from the Amberry Church, it’s fine. Cannon fodder? It’s the same for any kind of fodder. We don’t have much time. We just need someone to accompany us. If the gold coins don’t work, then use force. It’s hard to say who will take advantage of who.”

The Mercenary Guild had existed in Toril for a long time, and their reputation was generally very good. Their procedures were very formal. Most of the letters of introduction they took out had specific magic seals, and no one else could fake them.

The two murderers had no scruples. Even if they used force, they were not afraid to kick the iron plate. Seaver was just a shabby little aristocrat. He didn’t put any gold coins on the eyesight of the real big shots there. If he wanted to take advantage of him, how strong could he be? Naturally, he would be toyed with by the three murderers. This was something that Qin Lun and the others had long thought of clearly.

Just as Qin Lun and Hill were talking and laughing as they descended the stairs, in the lobby of the Oak Bucket Tavern, someone was talking about Schiff and them.

These were three young mercenaries, two men and one woman. The leader was tall and handsome. His face was like a knife cutting an axe. His face was filled with determination, and his long golden hair hung on his shoulders. Even in the noisy tavern environment, it was so outstanding and eye-catching.

He wore a set of dark purple plate armor with mottled traces on it. In some places, the paint had already fallen off. However, the Kanban armor was no ordinary road goods. The shoulder armors on both sides were arched upwards, and there were more than ten steel taper angles on each side.

The front breastplate had an obvious arc, and its body seemed to be covered with a wine barrel. A faded purple rose was tattooed on the part of its heart. The sleeve of the forearm stretched all the way to the elbow and connected to the shoulder with a ring-shaped armor, covering the upper half of the body without revealing a single drop of water.

The helmet in his hand had a cross-shaped opening in front of it, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Some mercenaries with good eyesight could already tell that this plate armor was not available on the market. This was the heavy knight armor of the Shaya Empire in the southern part of Ferren, close to the Steam Lake and Sea of Radiance. Moreover, it was something that only nobles above the rank of Knight Elder could wear.

However, judging from the young knight’s age, this set of relatively old armor shouldn’t be his. It should be a family heirloom left behind by his father.

However, compared to the armor that the knight wore, the blade in his hand attracted the attention of many mercenaries in the tavern.

This was an ordinary broadblade horse chopper. However, it was a bit large. It was nearly 25 centimeters wide and two meters long. The blade’s ridge was one inch thick, and the tip of the blade had a curved arc. The hilt, about forty centimeters long, was wrapped in cotton, occasionally revealing an oak hilt that was smooth and shiny.

The older mercenaries’ eyelids twitched as they looked at the knife, their voices lowered by eight degrees.

There was only one evaluation of this saber in their hearts. This was definitely a murder weapon. Less than a Grand Knight rank warrior would not be able to use this weapon. Just her weight alone would be enough to tire an ordinary warrior to the ground.

This kind of weapon is the ultimate combination of strength and beauty. If you use it completely, even the Earth Dragon can cut you apart.

“The commission Miss Linda gave us this time wasn’t easy. The Land of Death … I hope the employer isn’t an idiot, or else I’ll die of exhaustion.” The person who spoke was another man.

He wasn’t as tall as the blonde knight. He didn’t wear any protective gear, only a set of cloth clothes. His limbs were long and slender, and his hands and feet were bandaged with cotton cloth. Her palms were fair and smooth, and her fingers were slender and long.

He looked a little lazy, with a hay in his mouth, squatting on a wooden stool like a monkey, only a pair of bright eyes flashing across the tavern door from time to time, vigilantly observing everyone who entered the tavern.

He had a horned scimitar stuck in his left waist, but his right hand was playing with another dagger that was completely black and shiny. The blade of the dagger was engraved with the pattern of an eye. The hilt of the dagger was a ferocious dragon’s head, causing people to look at it with dread.

This was a double-edged thief, or an assassin who worked part-time as a wanderer.

“Lago, change your lazy temper. Miss Linda has given us a lot of good assignments. Stop complaining.” A pleasant voice sounded from the three of them. The only woman among them said.

The young woman wore a black velvet cloak, a hood, and a white veil. Inside the cloak was a white double-breasted robe. It looked like it was either a priest’s robe or a magic robe.

Although her body was tightly wrapped in a long robe and her face was still covered with a veil, the only eyes that were exposed outside were bright and moving, causing people to unconsciously feel that she was a gorgeous and moving beauty.

Her right hand was tightly gripping a branch-shaped staff, and at the top was a small fiery crystal stone. However, her next move completely destroyed her original tranquil temperament, revealing her mischievous nature. She actually used her short staff to knock the thief’s head.

“Hey, Winnie, I’m just saying.” The thief quickly slipped off the wooden stool, hid behind the knight, and smiled at the female mage in a flattering manner.

“Hmph, you should know that last time we spent all our money to redeem Twilight for you. If we don’t complete the mission, we’ll be sleeping on the streets.” The female mage curled her lips and looked angrily at the black dagger in the thief’s hand with an eye pattern engraved on it.

“It’s better than you always using money to buy a pile of perfume that is more expensive than gold … I was wrong, I was wrong, Winnie, don’t get excited.” The Thief muttered. He looked up at the female mage raising her staff with murderous intent, and his expression changed drastically.

“Rick, boss, stop her. If we burn this tavern down, we won’t have the money to pay for it right now.”

“You also know, then don’t provoke her!” The heroic knight unhappily carried the thief’s back collar and threw him in front of the female mage. “Winnie, we’ll teach him a lesson when we get back. Our employer seems to have come down. Let’s get down to business first.”

…

Qin Lun and Hill looked at the three mercenaries in front of them, their eyes flashing with surprise.

“Trouble?” Hill asked quietly on the guild channel.

“It’s not like that. It seems that giving the Mercenary Guild so many slaps is still useful.” Qin Lun smiled and said, “These two men and one woman seem to be quite strong.”

‘”Hello, I’m Rick, Commander of the Thorn Blood Mercenary Group. This is my companions, Winnie and Largo. Oh, by the way … This is a letter of introduction sent to us by Miss Linda, the registrar of the union.” The tall and valiant knight handed Qin Lun an envelope sealed in red mud.

“Excuse me, are you Seaver Hulan?” The thief beside the knight looked at Qin Lun vigilantly.

“No, I’m Seaver’s friend. He’s upstairs. If you agree to entrust him, I’ll bring you to him.” Qin Lun smiled and nodded, “Since the Mercenary Guild recommended you, you should already know about the mission entrusted to you, right?”

“Yes, escort you to the Land of Death. Don’t protect your safety along the way until you return to the Bird Gate. The daily reward is 100 gold.” Rick nodded solemnly. “However, we need to attach a condition to this mission.”

“What kind of conditions?” Qin Lun did not immediately reject the knight. He raised his head and looked at him seriously.

“Two weeks, we can only protect you for two weeks at most. In other words, apart from the time you spent traveling back and forth to and from Bird’s Gate, you can only stay in the Land of Death for one week.” Rick muttered in his heart. This condition was not his original intention, but Linda’s personal request when she gave him this task.
