Although Monica had an expression of 'I'll think about it again', she also conducted a very strict assessment of this young mercenary team, which made the young people of this team lose confidence.

But in the end, Monica agrees to recruit them: "You are incompetent and inexperienced. There wasn't enough cooperation, but I could see that you guys were very welcoming, and I liked that. If we want, let's sign a contract. ”

This seven-person team of young mercenaries erupted into a carnival cry.

A fledgling mercenary squad with two directions to go.

One is that Tou Tie goes directly to the mercenary union to take the task. Even if they are inexperienced, they charge hard, and after they are bleeding, either the mercenary team is disbanded, or after a large number of people are replaced, the mercenary team evolves into a mercenary group. The survival rate of this method is a bit low.

The second method has a much higher survival rate, and that is to find a big person, hug his thigh, and join his command. Eating a fixed salary, slowly exercising his skills, understanding the affairs of the mercenary world, and exploring the intelligence of the outside world. Occasionally complete the tasks assigned by the big guys, and in your free time, you can also take on some simple tasks to train the team members. In this way, in a few years, a full-fledged mercenary squad can be formed.

However, the general big people train their own teams, know the roots, the trust of both parties is relatively high, and the sense of loyalty is relatively high, and they rarely recruit people directly from the outside.

Therefore, although the mercenaries all like the second route, it is a pity that only about one percent of the mercenary teams can find suitable, long-term employers, and most of the mercenary teams sign short-term contract contracts.

And it's the kind of contract that is used as cannon fodder.

The members of the mercenary team began to be busy with the signing of the contract. Since there is a master, it is natural to behave diligently. The other thing is that they want to make a good impression on Monica.

Very beautiful and young hostess, still archbishop...... If she was blind and looked at herself, wouldn't she have earned it? I can fight for decades less.

With a few diligent and action-oriented young men running errands, the signing of the contract was completed in less than a few minutes.

Putting the contract away, Monica pointed to Beta and said, "This is your second person in charge. If I'm not there, if I encounter any emergency, his words are the same as mine, understand?

The seven young men stared at Beta with a slight hostility in their eyes. This is not the kind of hostility with bad intentions, but the hostility of young people seeing 'rivals in love'.

Beta has seen a lot of such gaze.

He has a large number of young pastors, and although most of them adore him, he will often show such a look.

Who told him to take up Shirley, Emma, Judy and other top beauties.

Man is a rather contradictory creature in his own right, and it is not surprising that there is both adoration and hostility towards someone at the same time.

In this way, the instinctive hostility caused by the love of women is not a big deal, as long as it can be controlled, it is normal.

After recruiting her new team, Monica took them to the church in the northwest for a job handover.

The holy city of the Cult of Life is very large, and the area in the northwest suburbs is roughly equivalent to a small city, with a population of nearly 600,000.

When Monica appeared at the door of the church, the two temple guards who were there looked at her with rather unfriendly eyes.

They know who they are, but they know that they do.

This is the rule for all religions, a temple controls all the activities of believers around it, receives their 'donations', and their beliefs.

The handover means they can't stay here anymore. Although they are guards, as long as they rely on the temple, they can also get good benefits, and they can scrape a lot of oil and water from the believers.

And with their departure, all this will be a thing of the past, the good days will be gone, and there may even be a risk of 'unemployment'.

is still the same sentence, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. It's strange that these guards can give Monica a good look.

When I entered the temple, I saw an elderly archbishop doing his own salutation.

Hearing footsteps behind him, the old man turned around and looked Monica up and down for a moment.

And Monica was looking at him, too.

The old man was very old, and his eyelids were about to cover his pupils. According to the common sense that professionals can live a long time, Monica estimates that he should be at least more than 100 years old, but the vitality in the other party's body is still very strong, a little stronger than ordinary young people.

"You're the new archbishop, and the only female archbishop, aren't you?" The old man's voice was quite indifferent, and there was even a hint of unhappiness in it: "You'd better be careful." ”

When Monica heard these brainless words, she immediately became a little annoyed: "Archbishop Rofesil, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Literally."

A smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, and then he waved his hand and took a few of his subordinates with them to carry the salute and leave.

Monica squinted as Rofisel left, standing still for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking.

Not long after, Harriman, the captain of the Hotel California team, walked in from outside, and he said to Monica, "Master, the old man has taken all the guards away. ”

"It's normal." Monica looked at the empty church and smiled on her face: "Go and see what is left of this church, make a list for me." ”

The team sprang into action, scurrying around the huge church.

At this time, Monica turned to Beta and asked, "Why do you want me to recruit these young people?" They are not strong, they are not well connected, and it is difficult to support this church. ”

"But it's better than the so-called 'veteran' you recruited." Beta explained: "Those veterans don't know what they're thinking, they don't know if they're from other forces, and it's complicated. As a newly ascended archbishop, your background is too poor, and if you mess around, you will only be taken advantage of by others. You are under the fence now, not in the palace a few years ago. ”

"yes, it's a difference." Monica smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was a princess, a shadow queen. Now I'm just a powerless archbishop. And she's a weak beauty. ”

Beauty is true, but weakness is not necessarily.

Although now Monica is next to her, acting harmlessly. But if someone really offended her, in a place where Beta couldn't see, that person would definitely die a miserable death.

Thinking of this, Beta remembered that the three mercenaries before had disappeared.

Beta doesn't know where they've disappeared either.

Looking around, Beta felt that there was nothing to do with herself, so she said, "You can take care of this church yourself, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"What are you going to do?" Monica stared.

There is a faint momentum of a wife asking her husband if he is going out to fool around. Beta rolled her eyes helplessly: "It seems that I don't need your consent, I just mentioned it to you." ”

Oh!

Monica hooked her smooth chin with her little finger, also looking very embarrassed.

Beta turned, waved at her, and walked out of the church.

It's afternoon, and the streets in the northwest are noticeably less crowded than in the city center. And compared to several other areas of the Holy City, there seems to be a difference.

Walk around the street casually and have the occasional snack. By the end of the evening, he had seen four brawls in the streets, and one had used his weapon.

Beta has been just watching, and no one has helped.

Because these four fights can't tell which side is good and which side is bad, both sides seem to be fierce and vicious, and most of them are underworld forces fighting each other.

By evening, Beta had struck.

An average-looking woman screamed and was dragged into the alley by two big men. There were a lot of pedestrians around, but everyone thought they didn't see it, and they sped away.

Beta followed them into the alley and watched quietly.

The two big men pressed against the wall, and when they were about to make a move, they saw Beta and said very unhappily: "Stinky boy, get out." ”

When the woman saw Beta, she struggled and screamed for help.

Beta followed a few steps and watched them.

The two big men looked at Beta's dress, and then looked at the long sword at his waist, and were a little jealous. One of them said: "Boy, don't come here to look for death, we are members of the Black Fox Gang, and we are all in charge of the western suburbs." ”

"The Black Fox? Isn't it amazing? Beta asked curiously, "Your leader must be fierce." ”

"Of course." One of them said: "Our boss just a few days ago chopped up a family of 16 and threw them on the pig farm to use as feed. Every month, there are always a dozen or so pigs who are not afraid of death and turn into pig feces, raising those pigs white and tender. It will be slaughtered in less than half a year. ”

Beta snorted.

"Boy, get out of here before we get angry."

Beta nodded slightly: "Well, that's good. The object of the first Liwei was found. So sometimes a woman's luck is good, and she can help her find a pawn to open the situation by walking around. ”

When the big man who pressed the woman heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and asked sharply, "Boy, what do you mean?" ”

Beta didn't speak, and the sword flashed. Two great heads fell to the ground.

The woman screamed and ran out of the alley.

Beta then went to the tavern and came out about half an hour later. Two silver coins asked about the situation of the Black Fox Gang. To listen to such a small black force, you don't have to use the power of the mercenary guild or the assassin guild.

Moreover, the fees charged by these two unions are also very expensive.

Beta is not short of money, but frugality is still a good habit.

Back in the West End church, Monica looked at him dissatisfied: "We worked hard to clean the church here, you might as well play outside until it gets dark." ”

Beta squinted at her, "How do I feel like you're like my mother." ”
