Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 38 Mercenary Union

As a mage who climbed up from the bottom of society through unremitting efforts, Aklan is obviously not the kind of ivory tower man who does not eat the fireworks of the world. His familiarity with Farrell has given Leon great help. 【】

After only spending a few gold coins, the mage rented a house near the pier that could accommodate the camel caravan. Many families around the pier depended on it for a living, and it was very convenient for accommodation and meals.

After settling rock hammer and others, he took Leon to find a boat owner at the pier and negotiated the matter of crossing the river tomorrow.

Finally, the mage disguised as an old man and Leon entered the city of Farrell.

This is the first time Leon has come to one of the big cities on the Glorious Continent.

Behind the tall city walls, rows of buildings occupy all sightlines. This city located in the western part of the mainland is said to have a history of thousands of years, and the sculptures that can be seen everywhere on the streets tell stories of vicissitudes.

The high roofs are like a forest, and the ancient clock tower is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Farrell City is ushering in a new long night.

The street, which is enough to accommodate four or five carriages, is paved with thick stone slabs, and it is quite clean and tidy. There are countless shops, hotels, restaurants and bars on both sides of the road. Exuding the heavy breath accumulated over the years.

The sky gradually darkened and became colder, but there were only a lot of pedestrians on the street.

Sturdy and rough mercenary adventurers, comically dressed vagabonds, well-mannered magicians, nobles embracing each other...Many women are still wearing long skirts with bare breasts and scarves around their necks. Laughter and ecstatic eyes are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful landscapes in this city.

Leon had already changed his cloak, and a set of blue-gray clothes completely outlined his burly and muscular body, forming a stark contrast with the handsome Aklan.

Aklan is a follower of Leon, but when the two walk together, others will only regard Leon as Aklan's entourage, the barbarian warrior who protects the mage with him, which is perfectly normal.

The women in this city are quite bold. Leon received several ambiguous glances along the way, and even threw a brocade handkerchief on him when a carriage passed by!

"If you like it, take it to the address written on it later, and you won't be lonely at night." Aklan said with a smile: "Many ladies like barbarians very much, you are much more handsome than ordinary barbarians !"

Depend on!I am not a Midnight Cowherd!Leon glanced at the mage with disdainful eyes, who knows whether the woman with lipstick and handkerchief is beautiful or ugly, maybe she is a public carriage!

He casually threw the Jinpa in the gutter by the side of the road.

"Ahem! Just kidding..." The mage coughed a few times in embarrassment: "The city gates are closed at standard Jiusha time at night, and we have to finish everything before then."

Leon knew that this world also had a standard measure of time. In ancient times, people used hourglasses to keep time. Later, with the rise of the magic civilization, wind-up clocks and magic clocks that could accurately time appeared.

It's just that whether it is a wind-up clock or a magic clock, the price is extremely expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Leon bought a magic pocket watch with automatic time in a shop in Blackstone Town, and the price was [-] gold coins!

clang!clang!clang…

As if echoing Aklan's words, the deep bell rang from a distance, and it rang six times in total.

It's six o'clock!It was equivalent to saying that they still had three hours left to stay in Farrell City, Leon nodded and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

The two found a restaurant nearby and had a hasty dinner. Then Aklan went in and out of several shops on the bustling street with the money bag Leon gave him.

It didn't take long for Leon to have a heavy bag in his hand, which was full of spoils purchased by Aklan.

After shopping, the two took a rental carriage to the mercenary union.

The mercenary union is a unique organization of the human race. It was first established for more than 1000 years, and later penetrated into other races, and its power is quite large.

The nature of the mercenary union is very complicated. It is equivalent to a middleman between mercenaries and employers, but it is also responsible for supervising thousands of mainland mercenaries. If a regular mercenary group or mercenary team does not have a union Certification, it is the law to be recognized by employers.

Only those mercenaries with clean backgrounds, reliable identities, and good reputations can accept the entrustment of the trade union. There will be different punishments for mission failure or breach of duty. Therefore, mercenaries are very particular about credibility and abide by the rules, which are completely different from adventurers who are mixed with fish and dragons.

The mercenary union in Farrell City is near the main square in the heart of the city, which is the golden area of ​​Farrell City. According to Aklan, those who can own a four- or five-story house here are either noble or valuable. Rich people with hundreds of thousands or more.

The mercenary union occupies a whole row of buildings along the bustling street, at least ten times the size of ordinary shops. This grandeur made Leon think that he had entered the office of some large monopoly enterprises in the world.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the dome full of pictures. The bright light illuminates the hall that can accommodate thousands of people. The smooth moiré stone floor clearly reflects the figures.

There are no ordinary people who come and go here, warriors, samurai, mages, nobles, businessmen... One side is to hand over the task, and the other side is to entrust the task. The two sides are clearly separated and do not interfere with each other. It seems like two worlds.

However, Leon and Aklan were on the side of the entrusted task. Not only were there fewer people on this side, but the services they received were also worlds apart.

In most places, levels exist, and Aklan walked straight to the stairs before entering the hall.

He presented a small silver medal to a servant standing by the stairs, and was ushered respectfully up to the second floor.

"I am a Silver Star customer of the Mercenary Union, and I am eligible to go to the second floor to release tasks. If I am a Gold Star, I can go to the third floor..." Aklan explained to Leon: "The treatment and priority level of each floor are different. of."

The second floor is all specially isolated small rooms, no matter the decoration and furnishings are quite luxurious, there are also beautiful maids who deliver fragrant milk tea and snacks, and the service is extremely thoughtful.

"What kind of missions have you released here?" Leon asked curiously.

Aklan took a sip of milk tea and explained: "We mages need a lot of materials to learn magic. Although most of the things can be purchased in the mage union, some materials are very gunners. I am just a The third-level magician, the purchase priority is too low, you can't compete with those senior magicians!"

"So I often come here to send out missions to buy magic materials. Although the price is a bit high, I can still buy them. Most of the hard-earned money over the years has been thrown here, so I upgraded to the Silver Star level after a few years. .”

So it is!Leon understood. It sounds like this mercenary union is quite interesting.

While the two were drinking tea and chatting, a thin young man walked in.

He bowed to Aklan very respectfully: "Dear guest, what task do you need to release?"

"I need an excellent guide to lead my caravan to Tormund City, the southwestern province of the Beamon Kingdom. As long as I bring it to Tormund City, I will complete the task. How much will I be paid?" Aklan asked bluntly: "Tomorrow morning Depart at Pier [-] at seven o'clock!"

The young man sat down at the small desk next to him, opened a small scroll, picked up the quill pen placed on the table and wrote a few lines, obviously recording the content of the mission.

"A good guide is required, the task is to lead the caravan to Tormund City, the danger level is high..." He stopped writing and said: "Sir, the minimum reward is [-] gold coins, and the best reward is [-] gold coins, because your task is more urgent , an additional reward of five gold coins is required."

"According to the rules, our trade union charges a fee of ten gold coins and a security deposit."

Without further ado, Aklan took out his purse and counted 65 gold coins and put them on the table: "I will offer the best reward and ask the other party to be on time, we don't have time to wait!"

"Please rest assured..." The young man got up and bowed again.

It costs 65 gold coins to invite all the guides, which is not a low price!Leon thought to himself, he didn't feel sorry for the money, and believed that it was expensive for a reason.

After the mission was issued, Aclan did not stay any longer, and left with Leon.

When going down the stairs, Leon couldn't help asking: "The danger level is high, is there still danger on the way to Tormund City?"

"Yes..." Aklan nodded and replied, "Let's talk about this matter when we go back. It's not convenient to talk about it here."

While talking, the two went down the stairs and walked through the hall until they reached the gate, passing by a group of people who had just entered.

There were six people in this group, and the one walking in the front was a lean and thin man with a long face. He stopped suddenly and turned his head to Leon and Aklan.

Leon and Aklan were walking out of the gate of the mercenary union, so he only saw their backs.

The long-faced man's eyes fell on Aclan's body, with a look of surprise on his face, and he pressed his waist pocket with one hand.

"Jason, what's the matter?" one of his companions asked puzzled.

The long-faced man flashed a ruthless look, and said in a low voice, "There are prey! Let's not hand in the task yet, go with me!"

The others obviously followed his example and nodded their heads in agreement.

On this side, Leon and Aclan returned to the street.

Since it was still early, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back, and wandered around Xin Square, admiring the night style of this bustling city.

But this turn doesn't matter, something unexpected happened!
