The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 22 Employment
  "You are saying that you have encountered a problem now and need my tribe to send warriors to deal with the kobolds with you?"

Naturally, good things are not easy to come by. When Allen received the map from Fili, Fili shamelessly made a request to Allen.

"This is actually a good thing for the nobles. As neighbors, the kobolds are much stronger than you. If they find out that the previous jackals were wiped out by you, and find that your tribe is not strong enough, the Green Field Lake alone will A beautiful lake is enough to persuade the kobolds to attack your tribe."

"Now that we have our caravan guards fighting together with you, although our combined strength is not enough to challenge the kobolds, it is not difficult to design a way to weaken part of the kobolds' power. Even if your tribe is discovered by the other party, it will not be difficult to do so." It’s less stressful than dealing with it.”

Feili racked his brains to think of something to say to impress Allen. It was not unreasonable. At least at this time, Allen was a little tempted after hearing it.

"However, our tribal warriors have experienced several battles in succession, and now there are only twenty warriors who can still take up arms, including Captain Regis's 7 members. It's very valuable, Captain Regis said, the kobolds There are more than 60 people in your team who just robbed you on the bad road. How can we soldiers fight against them? Isn’t this a joke, Director Feili?"

Although Allen was moved, he was not a foolhardy person. He posed the biggest question on the spot and waited for Fili's answer.

"We don't mean to directly trouble the main force of the kobolds. Anyway, they are not as smart as you, the clan leader. Let's find a way to lure some of the kobolds over, and then find a place to set a trap and slowly eat away at the opponent's number. As long as the plan is proper, in fact, Kobolds are not invincible."

"I also have a third-level quagmire spell scroll in my hand. It works wonders in wild terrain and rainy days."

In order to persuade Allen, Fili took out another scroll that he had treasured for a long time. A level 3 scroll was worth 20 gold coins and up. It made Fili's heart bleed every time he used it. This time he was dealing with a kobold. But there was no loot for Fili to repay.

"Rainy weather is not uncommon in the wilderness. With your local life for so many years, you can naturally judge climate changes in advance, right?"

Having just seen magical spells and divine arts, Allen was already convinced of the role of spells in battle. At this time, Fili's behavior of increasing his chips to impress Allen reminded him of the two secrets he secretly hid last night. A scroll. These two scrolls were rummaged out from the wooden house that Allen selected. They originally belonged to the jackal priest who was killed by them. This windfall came easily. According to Allen's selfish character, he was not prepared to take it out. , but he didn't know what the spells written on these two scrolls were, and he didn't dare to use them randomly.

"This is no problem. It has been sunny for 5-6 days in a row recently. The next rainy day is not far away. If we are lucky, there may be a heavy rain tomorrow."

Allen counted the days on his fingers and gave a rough answer.

"For the sake of our good relationship with each other, why don't you, Director Fili, hire us just like you hired Captain Regis and the others? In this way, we won't be helping you fight in vain, and you can get on your way as soon as possible, right?"

Allen's sudden suggestion made Fili stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, the suggestion seemed to complement each other. It's not that I haven't thought about hiring bugbears before, but I just couldn't get enough chips to impress the other party, so I had to give up. Fortunately now, people are actively seeking employment, which makes things easier.

"Then may I ask, clan leader, what kind of remuneration do you need to accept our employment?"

"This is very simple. I need the supervisor to help our tribe purchase a batch of food and weapons. If there are slaves for planting in the Elf Kingdom, you can help us buy two more."

"...Uh, Patriarch, are your demands too high?" Feili looked at Allen's light green face with a gloomy expression and said unhappily.

"We can pay for the purchase of food and weapons ourselves, and we can even escort you all the way to the Elf Kingdom. But since we are going to attack the kobolds, I hope to do it in a big way and kill at least 30 kobold warriors. I wonder if your supervisor will accept this request?"

Allen explained again, and then looked directly at the other party. If the other party did not agree to this request, then there would be nothing to talk about next, because there was not much that humans could give him.

"How about we discuss this?"

Fili and Regis looked at each other and then said.

"Okay, by the way, if you agree to my conditions, there are two scrolls here, and I can take them out for use in battle."

Allen took the initiative to increase the chips.

"..."

Allen's mind is clear. The possibility of the bugbears rapidly increasing their strength in a short period of time is very low. In this case, he needs to change his mind and weaken the strength of the tribe that poses the greatest threat to them. At the same time, Allen also wanted to take this opportunity to follow Feili and the others to the Elf Kingdom to see what a magical place the outside world is.

Although the contact time with Feili and the others was not long, at least they had a basis for cooperation. Allen took the opportunity to go to the Elf Kingdom with them, which was a choice that was beneficial to both parties.

When the sun hung at the highest point in the sky, Feili and the others finally responded: "Okay, that's what we decided. We will help you kill 30 kobold warriors, and you will send at least 15 warriors to be hired to accompany us on a trip to the elves. kingdom."

"No problem. I heard that when you merchants trade with each other, you will usually sign a contract when cooperating with the mercenary group. I wonder if we can also sign such a contract?"

In order to make mutual cooperation more secure, Allen had deliberately inquired about the precautions in this regard when communicating with humans before, so he asked this question.

For this planet with magical existence, a contract signed with the powerful demon of the bottomless abyss or the demon lord's avatar as a witness has extremely strong validity. The devil does not mind serving as a witness and law enforcer to maintain the validity of the contract. , the price for any party to violate the contract is to have the delicious soul forcibly collected by the lord. And a scroll that summons the avatar of the Abyss Lord is only at level 2. The price of 10 gold coins is indeed worth it to Allen. Anyway, the gold and silver are of little use in his hands.

"...That's what I thought too."

Fili readily agreed.
