A mercenary team, looking good, everyone is LV3 or above, and there are even two LV5, no matter how you look at it, such a team should be able to complete at least some more profitable tasks.

But this mercenary team is not only yellow and thin, but also has bad weapons, and the task they have completed now is actually twenty rabbits.

Twenty rabbits...... Even if it is an extremely difficult rabbit to catch, it will not earn much commission.

Such a team of mercenaries is not very reliable no matter how you look at it, Beta turned her head and asked the female counter: "Did you make a mistake?" ”

"No mistake." The female counter put the mercenary record in front of Beta again: "Their credibility is very high, higher than that of the wolf howl mercenary group, as for why you are not satisfied, you can try to ask them why." ”

This was already a clear hint, and Beta looked back at the mercenaries again.

Although they looked malnourished, there seemed to be a light in their eyes, a light of tenacity. It's a very subtle feeling, but Beta knows it's reliable. As a spellcaster, his mental power is very condensed, and he can perceive the mental state of many people.

These people had been listening to the conversation between Beta and the female counter just now, and seemed to know something, and were staring at Beta with a look of obscurity, as if a group of beggars were saying: Uncle, give alms a task.

Beta isn't the kind of virgin who responds to requests, and she certainly isn't ruthless, and since she needs the help of a team of mercenaries, and the other party's reputation record is quite good, and there seems to be something unspeakable, then it doesn't hurt to listen.

"I need to hire a team, if you're interested, talk to me on the second floor?" Beta thought for a moment and asked.

As soon as these words came out, the people of this mercenary team were all happy.

A young man walked up, but his face was a little old because of malnutrition.

"We are members of the Coldwind Mercenary Regiment. I'm Team Leader Shalin, and I'm grateful for giving us a chance. ”

"Whether it's an opportunity or not, it's only after everyone on the second floor has talked about it."

Beta paid the female teller for the soundproof room, and then sat down with the men in the soundproof room on the second floor.

"I can see that your strength is not weak, but why are your equipment and your complexion so bad?" After Beta sat down, he said very directly: "You know, your state will affect the success rate of the mission. ”

Everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group had a look on their faces. Shalin grinned, and then said helplessly: "Because we are poor, we owe people money. ”

"You have a good reputation, and it should be easy for you to get the kind of more lucrative assignments."

"In fact, our credibility is already poor." Shalin glanced at Beta and continued, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that we've broken the contract, it's that our mission has failed. ”

"Mission failures are common." Beta was a little strange: "As long as it is reasonably compensated, it is not a big deal." ”

"The problem is, we failed that mission for no reason."

Shalin, who smiled bitterly, told what had happened.

It turned out that two years ago, the head of the Cold Wind Mercenary Regiment, that is, Shalin's father, received an escort mission. Escort a young girl of a small nobleman to another city.

It was supposed to be a simple task, but they failed.

On the way of the escort, they passed through a small town, rested in the hotel, somehow they were in the hotel, everyone fell asleep, and then the next day they woke up and were surprised to find that the escort target disappeared, and they were all there, and no one was hurt. What made them even more strange was that all the people at the hotel were gone.

Then they went crazy to find the escort target, and found the naked body of the escort target in the stinking ditch three hundred meters away from the hotel, and the death was terrible, and the deceased had definitely experienced the most horrific thing in the world.

Afterwards...... The noble girl's family came up, and the Cold Wind Mercenary Group lost a lot of money, and the Mercenary Group suddenly became in debt. It's nothing, the mission fails, compensation is a matter of course. But the problem is that the mission failed, and not a single person in their mercenary group died, not even injured.

And the girl who was escorted was quite beautiful, and then it was rumored in the mercenary world of Maple Grove City that it was the people of their mercenary group who rebelled in the hotel, took people in turn, and then abandoned the corpse.

It's just a loss of money anyway...... The Cold Wind Mercenary Group can afford to pay.

As soon as such rumors come out, then the reputation of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group will stink, not to mention that the task cannot be received, and there will be people pointing fingers wherever they go, and people with a bad temper will directly quarrel with them.

The mercenary group is declining day by day, that is, it owes money, has no reputation, and cannot receive the task. Then many people left, and before they were half dead, there were only ten people left in the mercenary group. Shalin's father couldn't stand such a blow, and he was tired for most of his life, and his whole body was covered with dark injuries, so he went directly to see the gods. The person in charge now is Shalin, who is the leader of the Cold Wind Mercenary Regiment and the squad leader.

But because there were less than ten of them in the group now, Shalin no longer claimed to be the leader of the mercenary group.

After listening to this, Beta sensed that the other party must have been set up.

This kind of thing is very troublesome, and Beta generally doesn't want to cause trouble, but looking at the down-and-out appearance of these people, and then looking at the light in their eyes, I admire the tenacity of these people a little, even if it comes to the point where the mountains and rivers are almost exhausted, they are still persevering.

This reminded him of the days when of course he and F6 members did mercenary missions together, and they also came in the wind and rain, went in the cold wind, and persevered.

Somehow, there was a little more softness in her heart, and Beta said, "Well, your story is quite interesting, I think it's good, I'll just give you the task." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Cold Wind Mercenary Group was overjoyed, and their eyes were full of gratitude as they looked at Beta.

Sha Lin rubbed his hands even more, and his words were a little unfavorable: "Your Excellency, this, this is great, thank you so much." ”

Beta took out the contract just now, and repeated what he had said to the wolf howl mercenary group before.

After listening to this, Shalin's eyes turned a little red.

At this time, the Cold Wind Mercenary Group was almost at its limit. Although the few of them have persevered until now, they know very well to each other that if this continues for another two or three months, even if they are not exhausted, they will definitely have to break up.

Professionals don't starve to death, and a random beast outside is enough for them to eat for a long time. But they have to pay it back...... Even if they hit a beast or find something good, they wouldn't be able to sell it for much money, because almost the merchants of Maple Grove City knew about their situation, and what they took out would be crushed by those merchants at a price that would be crushed by those merchants.

As for going to other cities...... Their mercenary group owes people money, and until it is paid off, the mercenary group is not allowed to disband and move its headquarters away.

Therefore, compared to other mercenary groups, they do not have a strong idea of sharing profits, because even if they ship good things out, they can't sell them for a price, so it is better to ask for gold coins directly.

Shalin picked up the contract and read it for a while, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no traps in it, he signed his name.

Then the contract turned into a blue fire and burned, and there was nothing left, and the contract was burned on the table, but there was not even a bit of ash on the table, let alone any burn marks or anything like that.

"That's an advance of fifteen gold coins." Beta pushed the gold coins he took out of the space in front of the other party and said, "Your equipment is too poor, change to a new one, and you still have to eat well, tomorrow morning after breakfast, we will meet at the door of the union." ”

With that, Beta left with Jessica.

Shalin gripped the fifteen gold coins tightly, seemingly unwilling to let go.

It's been a long time since he's actually held a gold coin. People who have never been poor have no idea how terrible poverty can be.

"Good people, rare good people."

Sha Lin's eyes were red, he sighed, and then drew out ten gold coins and distributed them to another person: "You take this money, go buy some equipment and food, everyone eat something tonight, have a good rest, and recuperate enough energy, understand?" I have to use the rest of the money to pay off the debt. ”

Then the people of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group also dispersed, and a thin man who was sitting near the entrance of the trade union, after seeing Shalin leave, he also left the stone slab where he had been sitting for three hours, walked around the city for a while, came to a mansion, said a secret word, and walked in.

In a room on the third floor, Duff listened to the report of the thief group member and snorted: "I didn't expect that guy to cooperate with the people of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group, the Cold Wind Mercenary Group is very lucky, in this case, there are still people who are willing to hire and help them." ”

Faxiu stood aside and said disdainfully: "It's just a dying struggle...... Brother-in-law, let's just arrest and torture that aristocratic little white face, so that we don't know anything, why bother to track it down. ”

"The other party is most likely a nobleman, and we can't do it in the city. As soon as the news is revealed, we will be hostile to all the nobles," Duff said dissatisfiedly: "You have thought about it before you speak and do things, and there are some things that you shouldn't say at all. Although the nobles are very infighting, they have a deep-rooted concept that the nobles must die at the hands of the nobles, and the consequences of ordinary people killing the nobles will be serious. ”

Fa Xiu took two steps back and sat down on the chair, in his opinion, his brother-in-law was still too timid, no wonder the mercenary team now has no development premise, no courage, and can't succeed.

Duff didn't know what his brother-in-law was thinking, so he ordered the thieves to continue to follow Beta, and if there was any special news, report it immediately.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that he couldn't eat it very well, after all, the strength of the Cold Wind Mercenary Group was not bad, and that noble-looking kid was also a mage, although he didn't look strong, but the mage was more powerful after all.

Looks like we'll have to find an ally to do the same.
