After Richard walked into the inn, he looked around and saw a lot of townspeople, passers-by, and of course, a team of mercenaries who were hard not to notice, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the Middle Ages, there were indeed mercenary squads or mercenary groups, which were relatively early mercenaries, large and small, and were favored by many small countries or small nobles. After all, some small countries may only have a few cities, and some small nobles may only have a castle, a town, and a few villages, and they can't maintain an army at all in peacetime, so when they need an army, they can only spend a certain amount of money to hire mercenaries.

In general, mercenaries carry out a variety of tasks, some of which are more difficult, such as securing a city or participating in a battle until victory. Some are more ridiculous, such as protecting a nobleman's lover all the time, or hunting a special beast in the forest, etc.

To put it simply, mercenaries are a relatively risky profession in the current medieval world, and they sell their combat skills and life safety in exchange for a lot of gratuity.

Therefore, there are all kinds of people mixed in the mercenaries, men, women, old people, children, good people, bad people, and more people who put interests first.

Therefore, mercenaries in the Middle Ages valued integrity.

If you take the money, you will definitely do something, and whoever the employer asks to cut will definitely cut whom. If on the battlefield, the employer's enemies can pay double the price of the gratuity, then absolute neutrality is guaranteed. If the employer's enemies can pay three times the price of the gratuity, they will defect.

The price is clearly marked, and there is no bullying for children.

Of course, there are some outliers. For example, on the modern earth, Swiss mercenaries, developed at the end of the Middle Ages, are known for their discipline, bravery, and loyalty.

In the three Burgundian Wars, the Swiss mercenaries repeatedly defeated Charles the Darder, Duke of Burgundy, and killed Charles the Bold directly on the last occasion. During the Fall of Rome, Carlos I, then King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor, led an army of 30,000 men to besiege Rome with the intention of capturing the Pope. The Swiss mercenaries covered the Pope's evacuation, and 147 of the 189 men were killed, and the mission was finally completed. Since then, the Swiss Guard has been the protective force of the Vatican in the Papal States and a ritual symbol on the modern earth.

Glancing at the mercenary team of one woman and three men, Richard did not dare to draw conclusions, whether the other party was an honest mercenary or a different mercenary, after all, before witnessing the other party's behavior, everything was a matter of chance. But it didn't have anything to do with him, he was just going to stay here for the night, and then wait until tomorrow to go to the royal capital of the Emerald City and see Gro.

Richard strode to the counter, asked for an empty room, and asked for food to be brought into the room, and without any wordy, turned and led Pandora up the stairs.

......

Denise watched Richard walk upstairs with Pandora, who was like a little maid, her eyes flashed, and then she felt someone poke her body with a finger.

Turning his head to the side, he saw Cole looking over.

"What for?" Denise asked.

"Huh. Cole smiled at Denise and asked in a low voice, "How's it going, Denise, do you like that aristocratic boy who didn't have any hair just now?"

"Huh. Denise didn't deny it, squinting her eyes and saying, "So what? ”

"That's for the best. Cole spoke up, "Our goal is the same, but the difference is that you see people, and I look at money. How about a vote for cooperation?"

Denise's eyes narrowed, and she stared at Cole for a long time and said, "How do I know you're telling the truth, what if you're just using me? Well, by the way, it was three months ago that I helped you lure the target away, and after you went to the other party's room to get your luggage, you just slipped away. Let me be pestered by that disgusting fat businessman all night. ”

"Huh. Cole was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Neither of us should say anything about each other." Half a year ago, after I helped you hook up with the young baron's heir, you didn't help me dig out his wallet. As a result, you bothered to flatter for a long time, but the other party didn't take a fancy to you, and wasted the opportunity to make a fortune. ”

Denise's eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a little gloomy.

Cole waved his hand quickly: "Stop, stop, stop, let's talk about business, you just say do it or not, the plan is like this, you go and use your ...... Well, the charm seduces that aristocratic kid out and goes wherever he wants. If you have the ability, it is better to seduce that noble boy to the bed in your room, so that he can swear to marry you, haven't you always had this purpose. As for me, I took the opportunity to go to his room and rummage through his luggage. ”

"Well, don't forget, he also has a little maid. Denise said.

"Heh, what can a little girl who is not as tall as my chest do? I deceived it in a few words, but I really can't do it, just tie it up and gag my mouth, throw it in the corner, and still turn it around?" Cole said disdainfully.

"Then you have to take the mask, the noble boy and the little maid have seen us together. I'm not sure if I remember it, but if the little maid recognizes you and then tells the noble boy, the plan is all over. Of course, you can kill someone, kill that little maid, but ...... You know, I don't like to kill. ”

"Okay, okay, it's troublesome, but listen to you, I'll go with a mask. Cole said impatiently, then thought of something, and asked aloud, "In that case, then you can be considered to agree to the plan?"

"Agreed, of course agreed. Denise said, the corners of her mouth curled, "Why don't you agree? It's not easy to meet a nobleman, especially when you meet such a lonely nobleman." I can't let it go if I have the chance. ”

"But don't you worry, this nobleman is a fake nobleman? there are not many people who pretend to be nobles now, and he only has a little maid with him, which is very suspicious. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll serve him well!" Denise's voice was a little cold, and then she rolled her eyes again, "But if it's a real nobleman, even if it's the youngest lord heir, I will definitely let him enjoy it, let him really appreciate the beauty of being a man and not a boy, and make him absolutely reluctant to leave me." ”

Looking at Denise's appearance, Cole couldn't help but lick his lips and felt a slight dryness in his throat, but then calmed down. In his opinion, money is much more important than women, if there is money, what kind of woman can't find it? The reason why Denise is so hungry to catch every nobleman is that after all, isn't it just for money? If he has money, he can find a way to buy a knighthood, and Denise may take the initiative to climb into his bed. Well, of course, that's a lot of money.

At this time, the leader of the mercenary team, Mu Ke, spoke up, as if he was full, knocked on the table and said: "I'll go back to my room to sleep, don't sleep too late, we will rush to the royal capital early tomorrow morning, don't delay." ”

"Well, yes. The rest replied.

After Mook went upstairs, the strong man glanced at Denise after eating and drinking, and some reluctantly went upstairs. Cole and Denise discussed for a long time, determined some details, and finally went upstairs.
