55. Because I need you
If Alfred's momentum is the sea, then Sean is the reef at the moment. No matter how strong Alfred's momentum was, and even faintly murderous, Sean was not afraid at all, and he looked at him so quietly.
There was no sword-like confrontation, nor any fierce words, but with the two of them as the core, the strong momentum spread out one after another, and many of the surrounding drinkers felt some palpitations. There are many people who are also third-order professions, although they are only the strength of the lower bronze, but no one has really seen blood, or fought for life and death? But under the pressure of Alfred's momentum, they were left with only fearful thoughts.
At this point, their performance is not as good as Sean, an apprentice who is not even a lower bronze.
"Ahem." A light cough suddenly sounded in the quiet tavern, which seemed a little abrupt.
No one knew who made the voice, but at this moment, Alfred seemed to have suddenly awakened to something, and he reined in the momentum that he had burst out. The tavern, which originally felt that the air was cold, regained some heat and warmth at this moment.
Sean glanced thoughtfully at the tavern owner: This guy is not an ordinary person, but why was there no record of him on the forum at the beginning?
Seeing Sean's gaze, the tavern owner smiled and nodded, and raised the gold coin in his hand, which meant to thank Sean for his boldness. In the face of such a person, of course, Sean also smiled back, in fact, five gold coins, he didn't particularly care, he still had five gold scrolls of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, if it was exchanged for Portoroa gold coins, it could be exchanged for almost seven thousand one hundred and fifty.
The exchange rate for Pan-Continent Gold and Portoroa Gold is 0.7:1.
"Let's get back to business." Sean turned his head and looked at Alfred, "Do you really think that's good for your daughter?" ”
Alfred was silent.
"First of all, how else can you make money besides being a mercenary?" Sean unceremoniously pointed out Alfred's weakest point at the moment, "Just rely on some of your odd physical work in this village?" How much money can you make in a day? Look at your dinner, a bowl of minced meat for five copper coins, and what did your daughter eat after living in Sir Fregan's mansion for so many years? ”
Alfred clenched his fists: "She's not particular about what she eats!" ”
"Okay, not to mention food, clothing and housing?" Sean snorted softly, "Let's assume your daughter doesn't care about food and clothing, but do you want your daughter to sleep on the streets like you?" Even if she could tolerate it, what if she contracted a disease like wind chill? ”
Alfred, although he is the future god of war, is actually a daughter. It was true that he had left the village of Serroda for unknown reasons, but by the time he returned to the village, a war had broken out between the kingdoms of Portoroa and Serion, and the Tynders had fallen due to the ambitions of Count Mario, and his daughter had died in the war.
During that campaign, the Starfall Forest was a battleground for both kingdoms, but it was associated with player missions, and the Kingdom of Portoroa even rebuilt its outpost camp in it. It was precisely because of this war that players discovered the fifth-order dungeon in the Starfall Lake, but Sean only learned about these things from the forum, and at that time he had already transferred to the east of the continent with the strategic plan of the contracted company.
The wife ran away with someone, and the daughter later died, and Alfred is indeed an out-and-out tragic figure. However, perhaps it was these tragic reasons that were the driving force that completely unleashed Alfred's potential, making him one of the most powerful NPC characters in the later games. …,
"If you want your daughter to have a better life, then you have to go back to your old business." Sean saw that Alfred had not spoken, and of course he could not continue to sit with him in this way, so he spoke again, "But let your daughter live with you, and you are often not at home, what will she do?" Or to put it mildly, what if something happens to her? Let her go back to that Sir Fregan? Is it possible? ”
Alfred was completely silent.
"If you're really doing it for your daughter's good, then you should come with me."
"With you?" Alfred was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "What's the difference between you being a mercenary and me going back to my old job?" I might as well be an adventurer, so that not only will I have more time and freedom, but I will also be much less dangerous. ”
Adventurers, mercenaries, and pioneers are the three largest guilds on the Miracle Continent, unlike the Warrior Association, the Wizard Association, etc., which have strict requirements for professional identity, and any profession can join. But not everyone can join, if you want to join these three guilds, you must go through a test to prove that you have enough strength, after all, the benefits of these three guilds are not bad.
Among them, the danger of the tasks in the adventurer's guild is the lowest, mainly some regional exploration or intelligence gathering tasks, although the battle is inevitable, but generally there are few targeted battles, even if there are occasional combat tasks to deal with Warcraft, they are all tasks with the people of the Demon Hunting Guild, and the degree of freedom is not comparable to the other two guilds, even if it is a year and a half and a half of not accepting guild tasks, it doesn't matter.
However, the downside is that the reward for the quest is the lowest among the three guilds, and it is likely that a quest will take several months or even one or two years to complete.
The Mercenary Guild, on the other hand, is not particularly dangerous compared to the Pioneer Guild, and generally speaking, only the more powerful the guild will encounter the more dangerous missions. In the mercenary guild, the difficulty and danger of the task are directly proportional to the reward, but the degree of freedom also varies from person to person, compared to the leader of the mercenary group, it is completely up to him to do the task or not, and the members of the mercenary group can only act according to the leader's orders.
As for the Pioneers' Guild, their missions are the most dangerous, and they also have the principle of absolute imperative. In other words, if there is no proper reason, once you receive a letter from the Pioneer Guild, you must go to the Pioneer Guild to report and discuss matters related to the purification of the Black Soil Land or the collection of revival fire, and you must not refuse at all. However, because of the high risk, the welfare is also the best among the three guilds, and the guild will also be responsible for the families of the members of the war dead.
Alfred had been the head of a mercenary group before, and he knew some of the ways to do it, and he hadn't thought about it again, but it wasn't easy for him to reassemble a team. So at this moment, he said that he wanted to be an adventurer, not an angry or confused word, but a show that he had indeed thought about it seriously, because adventurers can be a lone ranger or form a team, but the degree of freedom is much higher than that of a mercenary group.
Unlike the mercenary group, once you join, if you want to leave, you must get the consent of the head of the group, otherwise it will be equivalent to ruining your own job in this industry.
In view of Alfred's dissatisfaction with Sir Fregen, even with Sean, a noble-looking person, of course, there are some mustards, but he will never admit these things, and he will not say them.
"Follow me, hope is great." Sean smiled and said confidently, "As I said before, my mercenary group is destined to be famous all over the world, so follow me, and you won't suffer." …… And I can assure you that if you want to leave one day, I will never embarrass you, and you can leave whenever you want. ”…,
Hearing this, Alfred was obviously a little moved, but years of experience still made him calm down quickly: "What do you use as a guarantee?" ”
"My personality and credibility." Sean said naturally.
Alfred already had a black line on his face.
"Believe me, no one wants to damage their reputation." Seeing Alfred's expression, Sean knew what he was thinking, even when he said the most common phrase Alfred had said back then.
This sentence really made Alfred stunned, and after a while, he raised his head to look at Sean and said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to recruit me?" ”
"Because I need you." Sean said as a matter of course, the future god of war, who doesn't want it, "In my opinion, you are more important than you think." And I promise you, three years at most, after three years you can definitely be reunited with your daughter, and I will respect your choice whether you leave or stay at that time. ”
Hearing Sean's already sincere words, Alfred finally nodded after a few seconds of silence: "I understand, Captain." ”
Alfred is a very practical person, and since he has decided to join Sean's team, this head of the group is also very natural, without any twist at all.
And when Alfred said the word "leader", Sean knew that he had made the right bet, now that it is a real world, then many things no longer need to follow the so-called strategy and quest line, except for some necessary events that take time to form, many things he can start to try to contact now.
But the most important thing at the moment is that you must build the framework of a mercenary group as soon as possible. Only in this way can Alfred's daughter be taken over, so that they can reunite their family, and Alfred will have a sense of belonging to his mercenary group, because although Alfred has agreed to join, he actually does not have any sense of identity and belonging, let alone loyalty.
"Now that you've decided to join, I also have to learn about your strength." Sean suddenly spoke, "After all, you haven't held a weapon for more than a year, and I don't know if you're unfamiliar with your skills, so go to the Warm Wind House in the south of the village to find me before noon tomorrow, and I'll test you, that's no problem, right?" ”
"Nope." Alfred shook his head dryly.
======== dividing line ========
A book cannot be a perfect work that everyone likes, there will always be some people who like and dislike, and there will be no shortage of small flaws. As a writer, all I need to do and can do is to minimize the appearance of these imperfections as much as possible.
Each writer has a different style, and there will be some differences in the way they write. The main line and long-term goals need to be paved and created, at least I think this is the way to gain the reader's approval, so if you really don't like it or feel that you can't stand it, I can't force it, but if you want to come to the slaughter version because of this, then I can only say that your behavior is really unpopular.
As for those who say that the protagonist is still wandering around and doesn't know what Lu Dao is doing, I can only say that you are not seriously reading the book at all, or you may not even have read it. By the way,When the sub-moderator refines, please don't just tick it and then add it all.,At least look at what the post is saying.,Whether it's a duplicate.。
