Chapter 106: Mercenary Joint Meeting
【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!
【Set Sail】Official YY: 208714, welcome everyone!
Of course, Rhodes just said casually, after all, this is not a game, and it is impossible to delete the number and repractice. It's just that he really thinks it's a pity, especially after talking to Labis and learning that she actually taught herself alchemy (although she is not yet a master), which makes Rod and Marlene even more unimaginable. However, because of this, they finally understood why Labis would be stupid to learn three subjects at the same time, and if she had a regular teacher to teach, then she would definitely not have taken this detour.
If it was in the game, then Rhodes would immediately ask Labis to wash and retrain, but unfortunately the reality is not a game, and there is no way to save it and do it again, so he can only reluctantly accept this fact. But Rhodes didn't give up because of this, after all, Labis had already started, maybe he could save it again. Although she did something that even players had never done, Rhodes knew very well that players and aborigines were different, and some aborigines had good conditions that even players would burst into tears, just like the "full magic mastery" sister in front of him at the moment.
"It's unlikely, Mr. Rhodes."
In the face of Rod's suggestion, Marlene's face, which is always full of confidence, also showed a trace of embarrassment at this time.
"I did study pharmacy, but I didn't dabble in the other two disciplines, and frankly, I haven't encountered anything like this at all, and even if you ask me to teach her how to use alchemy properly——— I can only teach the part of me, after all, mysterious creation and construction are not my forte."
It seems that genius is only genius after all, not all-rounder.
"You can try it first."
Rhodes also understands Marlene's difficulties, in fact, he is the same, for summoning swordsmen, mysterious creations must be learned, but there is no way to learn construction creations and potions. In fact, even if you don't use the reasonable statement in the game that "alchemy is a mysterious and profound profession", Rod feels that it is enough of a headache. Materials of the same nature are completely different from those made by apothecaries and mysterious creatures, and sometimes even the effects are completely different.
And looking at Marlene, who was full of self-letters, also had an expression of no idea what to do at this time, Rod also understood that this matter was in a hurry, so he did not ask Marlene to complete it, but here, except for Marlene, no one has more magical knowledge than her, so Rod can only let her try, if she can reap the results, it will be better, if she can't reap the results, then make another plan.
And after that, Rod also informed the old Walker that there was no need to find someone to replenish it.
After Shanna, Lando and others joined, now Rod's mercenary group has finally reached the regular number - twelve. This is the number of people that an ordinary mercenary group should have at the beginning of its establishment, but for Rod, it took so long to finally get people together.
Although there are no more geniuses among these people, but there are many rookies, but Rhodes is not worried, after all, these mercenaries are still very young, and there is still no room for growth. As the former guild leader, Rhodes has always been experienced in bringing newcomers, and he believes that as long as he gives himself a little time, then although these mercenaries cannot reach the level of Marlene and Lijie, it is more than enough to meet the requirements for the execution of tasks, at least at the level of medium players.
But before that, Rhodes has one more important thing to do. …,
In order to deal with the recent series of problems and the losses suffered by the mercenary group, a joint meeting organized by the mercenary association has finally begun.
When Rhodes came to the Mercenary Society again, it was already dusk.
"Hello, Mr. Rhodes."
The mercenary in charge of greeting him immediately bowed respectfully to him when he saw Rod, and then respectfully led him in.
After entering the hall, Rhodes found that the mercenary association was quite different from the past, the tables, chairs and benches placed around for the mercenaries to rest had been completely removed, and the hall of the university was empty, only in the middle of the hall, thirty-two chairs arranged in a circle attracted attention. Everywhere around, you can see mercenaries in full armor and serious faces, dressed uniformly, and the mercenary guild mark on their chests also represents their origins.
When Rhodes walked into the hall, it was already boiling, and many people were either talking in whispers or arguing loudly, some of them were dissatisfied, some were sneering and watching, and some were expressionless, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. They were the leaders of the thirty-two mercenaries in Parfield, and at this moment, these people had finally gathered.
Rod's arrival made many people stop talking for a while, and they all raised their heads and looked at the young man in front of them with curiosity, scrutiny, and doubt, which is no wonder. After all, Starlight has been a controversial mercenary group since its inception, from its establishment, to the location of the stronghold, and later in a series of missions, and later in a series of noticeable gains, as well as not long ago, the head-on confrontation with the Emerald Tears mercenary group, which made the mercenary captains full of curiosity about this young colleague who carried too many mysteries, and at this moment, for many people, this person who had been hiding behind rumors finally came out of the fog and revealed his true identity.
Led by the waiter, Rhodes came to his seat and sat down——— the positions of the Mercenary Guild were divided according to the ranking, and according to the ranking of Starlight, Rod was placed in the second and third position on the left.
This made several people around him show a trace of dissatisfaction, but before they could say anything, the old leader had already knocked on the wooden hammer in his hand, interrupting the noise between everyone.
"Alright, now that the people have arrived, then, I declare that the meeting begins."
Hearing the elder leader's words, the mercenary leaders immediately stopped making noise, and they quietly looked at the old man in front of them, waiting for him to speak next.
I can't see that the old gentleman is quite prestigious.
Leisurely nestled in his chair, Rod crossed his hands and looked at the elder with interest. He didn't pay much attention to the old man, just swept it slightly, and then turned his eyes to the other people around him, after all, for Rod, these people will be his future enemies——— or friends. And for some of them, Rhodes is actually no stranger.
Sitting at the top, the two-handed swordsman with a full beard on his face was none other than Hiller, the commander of the "Burning Blade", who led the "Burning Blade." "It took twenty years to run it into one of the most powerful mercenary groups in the entire Pafield region. Legend has it that the bright red blade behind his back is condensed from a completely pure fire element, and once it is affected by an external force, it will burst out with a high temperature enough to fuse all things, burning all the obstacles that try to resist him.
But unlike this domineering sword, its owner, "Blaze" Shearer, is a very calm and brave man, but Shearer's luck is really not very good. In the past twenty years, he has led the mercenary group to upgrade to the mercenary guild several times, but he was quickly re-demoted to a mercenary group in the same year, back and forth several times, which can be regarded as a small joke of the "Burning Blade" mercenary group. However, although in the eyes of the Mercenary Guild, the Burning Blade is nothing, but in the rank of the mercenary group, it still deserves to be the first. …,
Sitting opposite Shearer, the one with a black cloak and a pale mask was none other than the second-ranked mercenary leader of "Dark Fang", "Shadow" Chauvin. Legend has it that he was once a spy of a certain country in the north, and because of his crime, he fled his country and took refuge in the remote place of Shenshi City. Compared to orthodox mercenary groups such as the Burning Blade, Darkfang is more of a joint organization of thieves and killers. And their battles are based on this, and in the game, Darkfang is a very popular mercenary group with professional players such as Thieves, Agents, and Rangers, as the reward equipment given by their missions is perfect for these classes.
However, Chauvin doesn't seem to have much interest in the Mercenary Guild, he has led the "Dark Fang" for so many years, and every time he has firmly occupied the second position, but he has never been like the first to charge, and because of this, many mercenary groups have also secretly called them "the second in ten thousand years". However, with the growth of the power of "Dark Fang", this originally insulting nickname no longer appears.
And sitting next to Rod, looking at him with unfriendly eyes, it was Anne's old employer——— the head of the Macbeth mercenary regiment, Fogg. It is not difficult to understand his hostility towards Rod, after all, before this, Macbeth was originally the third in line, but Rod's outfit made him have to withdraw from the position, plus Rhodes "bought" a lot of clean-up objects in the Macbeth mercenary group, although it is very happy to sell them to get money, but some of them still make them feel very uncomfortable, especially people with special positions like Annie.........
Because of this, it is not surprising that Fogg was very cold and hostile towards Rhodes.
Just as Rod looked around at everyone, the old president finished his boring opening remarks, and then, he coughed and knocked the small hammer in his hand again.
"I think you should already know why you came here. A series of unexpected events have recently taken a toll on the mercenary groups in the entire Parfield area, and in order to solve these problems, we in the Mercenary Association have decided to make an exception for this meeting. Now, I would like to announce to you the final solution that has been determined by the Mercenary Association after discussion. ”
Hearing the elder leader's words, many mercenary group leaders immediately opened their eyes, and even Shearer, who had been sitting in the upper seat silently, raised his eyebrows at this moment, to a certain extent, the decision made by the mercenary association was almost impossible for the mercenary group to disobey the order.
"The Mercenary Association has decided that due to the seriousness and complexity of this situation, we will temporarily suspend the task assessment of each mercenary group from now on, so as to ensure that the mercenary group can be reorganized and recovered smoothly. During this period, the Guild will no longer issue quests, and mercenary groups will not be allowed to receive quests privately, and the Mercenary Guild will not give points even if they complete the quest in violation of the rules. ”
Hearing this, the hall, which was originally quite quiet, immediately boiled. And just then, a man suddenly jumped up from his chair and shouted.
"I'm against it!!"
