Kealand

Chapter 14 The Mercenary Group

"Aaron." Kaywen looked at the other party in a daze. It seemed that he had heard the name Aaron not long ago, but he couldn't remember it clearly for a while. After thinking for a while, a touch suddenly appeared on his face. With a look of joy, he said: "Hello senior, how is Uncle Kem doing?"

Hearing this, Aaron smiled indifferently, showing a row of neat teeth, and said: "My father is still the same, but he was a little worried about you, so he let me take a look, because I heard that you were locked up a few days ago, so I came to see you." I'm late." Speaking of which, he pointed to the strong man behind him, and introduced: "His name is Charles, he is my friend."

"Hello!" Charles' voice was thick and powerful, and he passed a big hand towards Kaiwen, and said with a smile, "You are the guy who disguises himself as a woman, right? You look really pretty!"

Hearing this, Kaiwen smiled awkwardly. As the saying goes, good deeds do not go out and evil deeds travel thousands of miles, so his reputation in Caldari seems to stop at this man disguised as a woman.

Seeing this, Aaron also looked back at Charles helplessly, and said slightly angrily, "You bastard, don't leave any pot unopened." Speaking of this, his eyes turned to Kaiwen again, and said with a light smile: " Brother Kaiwen, don't mind, that's how Shire talks, but I'm here to ask for something."

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being a little puzzled, because he had only been in Caldari for ten days, and it might not be a big deal for the other party to come to him for something, so he nodded and agreed, "Please tell me, as long as I can do it Those who arrive will definitely not refuse.”

"Actually, it's not too difficult." Aaron scratched his head with a silly smile, and said, "Because we have applied for mercenaries, and there have been some strict changes in the mercenary regiment in recent days, so our mercenary regiment must You must be accompanied by a priest, otherwise you will not be able to receive the mission, but I don’t know if you have any intentions in this regard.”

After hearing Aaron's words, Kaiwen immediately hesitated, and turned his eyes to Dahl in the classroom, because he clearly remembered Dahl once said that there will be an assessment before the vacation, and only those who pass the assessment can join the mercenary group , but now facing Aaron's invitation, he doesn't know how to answer, because he doesn't want to refuse the other party.

Seeing the embarrassment on Kaiwen's face, Aaron couldn't help chuckling, and said: "If you feel embarrassed, you can refuse. If you need time to think about it, we will also settle down in the academy for a few days. Think about it." You can come to me later. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can entrust someone else to come to me, but I am not often in the academy, so if you encounter trouble, please don’t be arrogant, just wait for me to come back and help you deal with it.”

"Thank you." Kaywen nodded gratefully, especially in his heart, he also wanted to go outside with Aaron to learn more, and hoped to change his situation in the academy by getting closer to Aaron, but Aaron However, the request did make him feel very embarrassed, after all, he was still studying, so it was very likely that his studies would be delayed.

After bidding farewell to Aaron, Kaiwen planned to have lunch, but Dahl came to his side at some point. Seeing Kaiwen's embarrassed face, he smiled lightly and said softly: "Do you want to talk to them?" go together?"

Hearing this, Kaiwen was not only startled, but when he looked back at Dahl beside him, there was a look of hesitation in his eyes, and he smiled wryly: "Although I really want to go with them, I'm afraid it will be delayed if I go. studies."

"So that's the case." Dahl chuckled lightly, and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry, because what we learn in the priest class is nothing more than healing techniques, and the important lessons will only start next week. You There is no need to worry about this at all, as long as you come back when the important class starts, so there is still plenty of time, if you want, you can let them go outside to have a look."

"Really!?" Kaiwen was overjoyed immediately, he had never expected that the whole thing would be so easy, even Kaiwen felt that Dahl seemed to let him travel outside with Aaron on purpose.

"Of course it's true." Dahl smiled as a matter of course, then patted Kaiwen on the shoulder, and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to Narca City to meet an old friend, if you really want to go with Aaron and the others If you want to join the mercenary group, let's leave now, so I can come back earlier so as not to delay the business."

"En." Kaywen nodded vigorously, and then walked out with Dahl.

Soon the two came to the gate of the college, and saw that Lorna was leaning against the statue in front of the gate, holding a pipe, looking very comfortable.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Lorna turned her head slowly, and seeing that it was Darqi, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Darqi Priest, why are you here? Are you going to Narca City?"

"Hmm." Dahl replied with a smile, and said, "Is it convenient for me to meet a friend?" While speaking, Dahl glanced at the bong in Lorna's hand, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, Lorna smiled awkwardly, and quickly said, "Of course it's convenient." Then, she took a bong and tapped lightly on the statue beside her, then turned her eyes to Kaiwen, frowned, and said in doubt: " Is he going with you too?"

"Yes." Dahl smiled slightly, and pondered: "Because I dragged my friend to bring a lot of things, so I plan to take Kaiwen students to help me get some things."

"So that's the case." Lorna nodded lightly, and then smiled flatteringly: "It's just that Kaiwen students are always fraught, why don't you take me with you, at least I won't be as clumsy as him."

Hearing this, Dalton frowned, but still had a smile on his face, and said slowly: "After all, you still have official business, if you go with me, the dean will definitely blame me, so I won't bother you, But I might trouble you to help me get some things when I come back." While speaking, Dahl directly pulled Kai Wen into the circular magic circle hidden behind the stone statue.

At the same time, Kaiwen was also looking around curiously, and saw that the diameter of the entire magic circle was about two meters away. The layout of the whole magic circle was paved with purple crystal stones, and the order of the crystal stones There are also differences. At first glance, the entire circular array is not neatly arranged, but it gives people a sense of patchwork.

After hearing Dahl's words, Lorna just smiled coquettishly, and said, "You and I are both Caldari's teachers, so we should help. Priest Dahl, you don't need to be so polite."

"Then I'll trouble Teacher Lorna to give us a ride." Dahl nodded slightly, obviously he didn't want to continue entanglement with Lorna.

Hearing this, Lorna nodded in response, then took out a purple spar from her sleeve, and placed it in a groove on the stone statue.

All of a sudden, Kaiwen felt a blur in front of his eyes. The surrounding scenery and Lorna's body seemed to be infinitely elongated under the drive of some kind of force. Such a weird scene made Kaiwen grab Dahl's clothes reluctantly.

But only a moment later, there was already a bustling scene in front of them, and the noisy voice also entered the ears of the two of them at the same time.

Kaiwen couldn't help but looked around in a daze, and saw that he was in a circular square at this time, and the surrounding people were very lively. Although Kaiwen had never been to this place, he could see that standing not far away When I saw a clock tower, but I couldn't bear to be secretly shocked.

Because this is the city of Narca that he had been to before, but Kaiwen couldn't figure out how he got here, because everything happened so fast just now, even before Kaiwen had time to think, he had already arrived here .

Just as he was thinking, Kaiwen suddenly felt that someone beside him gave him a hand. Then he turned his head and saw Dahl looking at him with a smile on his face, and said, "What's the matter? Haven't you been here before?"

"Come here, but it's a little too sudden." Kaiwen scratched his head with a silly smile, and didn't know how to describe the surprise in his heart.

Wen Yandaer smiled lightly, then pointed to a restaurant not far away, and said, "My friend must have arrived, let's meet him first, and then ask him to take you to the mercenary group."

"En." Kaiwen nodded in response, and then walked towards a restaurant in the distance behind Dahl.

After a while, the two came to the door of the restaurant, and saw the three big characters of Yunhai Pavilion written on the plaque of the restaurant.

Although the handwriting on the plaque looked a bit scribbled at first glance, after careful taste, Kai Wen found that the three characters were full of free and easy and powerful strokes, which vividly reflected the artistic conception of the passing years.Even though Kaiwen has been begging in the imperial capital for three years, he has never seen such a magnificent facade, and he can't help but secretly speculate that the people who can come here must be some royal nobles who spend money like water, so at this time Kaiwen is very curious about what Dar said What kind of identity does that friend have.

However, just as I was thinking in my heart, I saw the door of Yunhai Pavilion was slowly opened, dozens of maids were neatly standing on both sides of the porch to greet each other, and a man in a formal dress also came up quickly , and then respectfully said: "Priest Dar, you are safe, the owner is already waiting for you upstairs."

"Deacon Brin, you are fine too." Dahl smiled and nodded to the other party, and then the two walked up to the second floor under Brin's guidance.

When I came to the second floor, I saw a fat middle-aged man sitting in front of a huge round table. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and luxurious clothes, and a lifelike golden eagle was embroidered on his chest on the right side. When he came up, he immediately got up to meet him, and said with a smile, "Brother Dale, you are all right. I'm busy with business and didn't come to see you recently, why should I invite you brother?" "While speaking, his eyes turned to look at Kai Wen beside him, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "This! ? "

"He is the Kaiwen I mentioned to you in the letter." Dahl smiled lightly, then turned his gaze to Kaiwen next to him, and introduced, "This is Duke Herwin, who is also my best friend."

"Hello." Kaiwen saluted the other party respectfully, but Hewin looked at him with a serious expression on his face, and seemed to be muttering non-stop, but because Kaiwen's voice was too low, so he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, so he immediately looked at Dahl with some doubts.

Seeing Dahl coughed lightly, Hwin was stunned when he came back to his senses, then he held Kaiwen's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "So you are Kaiwen, Dahl mentioned you in letters many times, But I have always only heard his name but never seen his person, seeing you today is really a good-looking talent."

Hearing that Kaiwen just smiled and didn't speak, Dar at the side patted Hewin lightly, and said with a light smile, "I brought Kaiwen here because he is going to the mercenary group to take part in the assessment, so you first Send someone to take him to the mercenary group and talk about our affairs."

"Okay." Hewin responded heartily, then clapped his hands lightly, and saw Brin coming up from downstairs.

"Master, what are your orders?" Brin put his hands on his chest, and bowed very respectfully.

He Wen pointed at Kai Wen with a smile, and said: "Little friend Kai Wen is planning to go to the mercenary regiment to participate in the assessment, you should send him there, and bring those who are in charge of the assessment together, I want to meet them personally .”

"Yes, master." After Brin nodded, he turned to look at Kaiwen and said, "Mr. Kaiwen, please follow me."

Hearing that Kaiwen stood up slowly, said goodbye to Dar and the two, and followed Brin to leave Yunhai Pavilion.

After passing through a few winding and rugged streets, Brin brought Kaiwen to a small wooden building, then pointed out his hand, and said respectfully: "Mr. Kaiwen, this is the mercenary of Narka City." group."

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being startled, and after carefully looking at the small wooden building in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, because in his imagination, the appearance of the mercenary group must be very grand and magnificent, and it will never lose to Yunhai Court centimeter landmark building.

However, the mercenary regiment in front of me is just a simple wooden pavilion, and some places are even dilapidated, so at a glance, it looks like a simple tavern, making it difficult to compare with that in the entire Kealan. A mercenary group with a high reputation is linked together.

But no matter how simple its appearance is, Kaiwen has no intention of giving up, after all, it has come, so I have to take a look at it anyway to have an explanation for myself.

Afterwards, Kaiwen followed Brin into the mercenary group, but as soon as he entered, he smelled an extremely unpleasant smell, and there were continuous noises around him, and everyone coming and going smelled of alcohol.

Moreover, the surrounding light was dim, only a candlelight chandelier made of iron chains hung on the roof, relying on the shining light emitted by the candlelight, Kaiwen could vaguely see the surrounding situation.

I saw some monster head sculptures hanging on the walls around the house. Some people sat drinking together in twos and threes. When the two walked in, they all looked at the same side. Many of them still had injuries on their bodies. And with a blank expression, one can tell that they are the kind of people who lick blood on the tip of a knife, and such a group of people just because of their aura makes Kai Wen feel an inexplicable depression.

However, at this moment, a hand quietly stretched out towards Kaiwen. Seeing this, Kaiwen was startled immediately, and hurriedly dodged to the side. , and saw that the outstretched hand was severely opened by Brin.

"Who?" The drunk man yelled angrily, then looked up and saw that the person who made the shot was Brin, the drunkenness on his face suddenly faded, and he said with a smile: "So it's Deacon Brin, isn't this lady Did it come with you?"

"Yeah." Brin nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Kaiwen is a distinguished guest of my master, I hope you can take care of him in the future."

"It's easy to say!" Seeing that the other party gave him a step, a smile appeared on his face, and then he turned his eyes to Kai Wen, and said with a smile: "Please forgive me if I offended you earlier, I will take it on my own." Take a fine!" After speaking, the drunk directly picked up the wine glass and took two sips.

Seeing this, Kaiwen just smiled and didn't know what to say, while Brin on the side turned to Kaiwen and said respectfully, "Mr. Kaiwen, please."

Hearing this, Kaiwen nodded in response, and then, under the guidance of Brin, came to the front desk where the mercenary group was responsible for the reception.

"Yo!? Deacon Brin, why do you have time to come to me?" A woman at the reception immediately poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Brin after seeing Brin, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly It became a crack, and the kind of charm that pierced into the bones even made Kai Wen stunned for a moment.

However, Brin just smiled indifferently as if he was not interested in the woman. He reached out and put the wine glass aside, and said, "Excuse me, Captain Watson? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

"Who?!" Before Brin finished speaking, he heard an indistinct voice, followed by the sound of crock pots breaking, and then saw a drunk man swaying from left to right. Not far away came to the two of them.

The other party stumbling along the way obviously drank a lot of wine, until he leaned on the table and walked up to the two of them, he still looked drunk, frowned and sized Kai Wen and the two of them several times. Only then did Brin's identity be confirmed, and then Lang smiled and said, "So it's Brother Brin, what's the matter with you coming here? Just tell me if you have anything to say, I...vomit." Before the man finished speaking, he vomited All over the place, the room suddenly smelled of alcohol, and some people were still shouting and booing, and the scene was chaotic.

Kaiwen couldn't help frowning, and seeing this situation, his stomach couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed, while Brin gracefully pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom to cover his mouth and nose, and said slowly: "My master asked me to bring a handkerchief. This gentleman is here to participate in the assessment of the mercenary group, I hope you can arrange it as soon as possible."

"Oh, so that's the case." Watson pursed his arms and turned his eyes to Kay Wen, frowning: "Is this lady a knight or a magician?"

Hearing this, Brin frowned and corrected, "This is sir."

"Oh." Watson responded casually, then continued to look at Kai Wen, frowned and said, "I'm asking you something, why are you like a woman."

Seeing this, Kaiwen was also a little helpless, resisting the stench that filled the air, and replied: "I am a priest."

"Huh?" Watson immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes turned to a man not far away, and shouted: "Sean! Sean! Come here! You are in charge of this lady," Watson said Before he finished speaking, he looked like he was about to vomit again, and Kaiwen and the two immediately took two steps back when they saw this.

At the same time, a strong man with a square face also slowly walked towards the two of them, then smiled slightly at Brin, and said, "Long time no see, Deacon Brin, is this lady going to take part in the assessment?" While speaking, He turned his gaze to Kaywen.

"Yes." Brin smiled far-fetchedly, and seemed too lazy to correct the other party. After all, the smell in the room was unbearable. Then he glanced at Kaiwen beside him, and said seriously: "Mr. Kaiwen is my family Master's distinguished guest, so please take care of me very much."

When Brin called Mr. Kaiwen, Sai'an couldn't help being startled for a while, and looked at Kaiwen carefully with his chin, and said in surprise: "You are really a little brother. I was blind before, so please ask me Don't blame me."

Just as he was talking, he saw two women coming from the side, one of them put his arm on Sai'an's shoulder, and looked at Kaiwen with a smile, and said with a light smile: "Yo, long It’s really beautiful, and I’m afraid no one will be able to recognize this face in a crowd of women, so it’s no wonder that Sean will miss it.” Speaking of this, she turned her gaze to Brin aside, and said doubtfully: “But Brin Deacon Lin, I don't know which family he is from, why have I never seen him before?"
