The Elder and Serek are not stupid, in fact, they don't really want to get involved in the Land of Light and the Duchy of Moon, but on the other hand, they also have to pay attention to the information provided by Rhodes, especially about the mercenary group - since all the commissions are backed up in the Mercenary Association, the old guild leader quickly found out the commissions that the mercenary group has accepted in recent days, and they are all related to the undead without exception, as Old Walker said, this is obviously a very unusual thing.

The Mercenary Association can ignore the problems between the Land of Light and the Duchy of Moon, but it is impossible for them to ignore the danger they are facing, as the number one or two people in the Mercenary Association, the head of the association and Serek can see the trick even without being reminded by Rhodes, especially after learning that the several mercenary groups that have returned have all suffered heavy casualties.

"Looks like there's something hidden in it."

Putting down the notebook in his hand, Serek's expression began to become gloomy.

"I really didn't expect this to happen recently......... I should have stayed if I had known that I should have stayed. ”

"It's useless to regret it now, old friend."

The guild leader sighed, then he rolled his eyes and glanced at Rod.

"What do you think?"

"Maybe it's because the bones of the undead have been worth more money lately."

Rod simply didn't answer the question, which made the association president roll his eyes helplessly, and deeply felt that it was too stupid for him to ask his opinion.

"The principals are all from different regions, and the only thing they have in common is that they are not locals......"

Serek closed the notebook, his expression becoming more serious.

"From the current situation, this is not necessarily a conspiracy, but ......... If it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence........."

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, a hurried knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the dull atmosphere in the room, and the three of them glanced at each other, and then the head of the association looked solemn.

"Come in."

"Yes, I will grow up!"

As the door was pushed open, a mercenary covered in blood and embarrassed ran in, judging by his outfit, he should be a thief. And following him was none other than Uncle Hank.

"What's going on!"

Looking at the mercenary in front of him, the head of the association immediately stood up and asked with a serious expression. The mercenary barely stood up straight, but judging by his pale face, it seemed that he couldn't hold out for long.

"Great, my lord, our mission has failed......... I managed to get out and come back...... Please, send someone to save my companion......"

"Are you ........."

Serek walked up to the mercenary and looked at him carefully before speaking.

"You're Carder of the 'Victory Wine' mercenary group? How so? What's going on? ”

"I, we took the commission and went to the Silent Heights to complete the mission—but, but I didn't expect there to be too many undead there...... The deputy head of the regiment died, and the commander of the regiment took everyone to hide, barely saving their lives, but they are now surrounded by undead creatures, and I don't know how long the road can last...... I managed to escape......

"What a joke! Silent Heights!? ”

Hearing this, Serek could no longer remain calm.

"That's a five-star mission! You are not qualified to take such a commission at all!! ”

"I, we also know the Tao...... But it was just a peripheral quest to find items, and we didn't think there was much danger, who would have thought ........."

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now."

Serek sighed. …,

"Hank, you take him for treatment right away, and the president and I will figure out a way to deal with this."

"Yes, Master Serek."

Uncle Hank agreed, and helped the mercenary down. And only then did Serek shake his head.

"It's stupid, how could they be so stupid...... Five-star missions, Silent Heights are also what they can go to? It's a border area with the Night Country, and these fools really don't even want their lives for money! ”

"What now?"

"Since they have asked for help, we must go and rescue them, this is the responsibility of our mercenary association, and those mercenary squads organized casually are not counted, and it is impossible for us to stand idly by and watch the regularly registered mercenary group apply for assistance."

"But ........."

The old face of the association president also showed an expression of embarrassment at this moment.

"Let's not talk about how dangerous that place is, even if we want to recruit manpower, there are only a few mercenary groups in Deep Rock City at the moment, and we all know just now, they have suffered heavy casualties after their recent mission, and it is impossible to transfer manpower from them."

"Or ...... I'm going alone? ”

"No kidding, old friend."

In the face of Serek's words, the head of the association immediately shook his head.

"What's the use of you going there alone? You know, that's a five-star mission! Although you are a master of swordsmanship, there must be no problem going back and forth, but will you be able to bring them back safely? ”

“…………”

Serek didn't answer, he also knew very well that his strength lay in swordsmanship, and he was not good at this kind of thing at all. It must be no pressure to let him kill seven in and seven out of the undead alone, but why do you want him to kill with a group of people......... Today's weather hahaha.........

And at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I think you seem to have forgotten that there is also a mercenary group that does not have any injuries."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the head of the association and Serek immediately looked at Rhodes, who was sitting on the side and had not spoken. He was now crossing his hands, leaning back in his chair, quietly watching them.

"You mean that starlight of yours?"

The elder smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't say you, boy, there are only five or six people in your mercenary group now, and frankly speaking, there are not even enough people...... That place in the Silent Heights is not for you to go, so you better not go and cause trouble. ”

"That's what you think, but it's not mine, old sir."

In the face of the elder's words, Rod did not flinch, he just moved his body to make himself more comfortable.

"I have enough confidence in the strength of my subordinates, and believe me, I am definitely more familiar with this place in the Silent Heights than you think."

"Oh?"

Hearing Rod's words, both of them were stunned, and the elder smiled and wanted to say something more. However, Serek made a gesture to stop the elder from speaking, and then he came to Rhodes and carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

"Are you sure you have no problem?"

"I never take on tasks that I am not sure of, and besides, Mr. Serek, don't you want to go with you? I have no doubts about your strength. ”

Rhodes stood up.

"I have two conditions, though."

"What conditions."

In the face of the elder's inquiry, Rhodes held out a finger.

"First, I hope you can find me four spirit masters, there should be people in the association."

"Yes, yes, but ........."

The elder frowned, and looked at Rhodes suspiciously, a little unsure of what he wanted to do. …,

"What do you want them to do? It is important to know that these children do not have much experience with adventure, and they are mainly responsible for the treatment work within the association. I can tell you, they haven't learned any offensive psychic skills, so don't you expect them to help you chop down the undead? ”

"That's my problem, I'll make sure they all come back safe and sound, and now I just want to know if you give it to anyone."

"Okay."

Without hesitating for too long, the elder agreed to Rod's request, after all, this is not a big deal, and he is also very curious, what does Rhodes want the four spirit masters to do?

"I'll have them prepare, and then Serek will lead you and join you. What about the second condition? ”

"The second condition is simple."

Rod held out another finger.

"After completing the mission this time, I wonder how many points we can earn?"

Hearing this, the elder's face immediately turned green.

"You insatiable bastard! Tell me about such conditions at this time?! ”

"That's why I'm going to talk to you about conditions at times like this, sir."

Rod lowered his right hand and shrugged his shoulders.

"After all, this is a mission, and we risk our lives to get there...... Aren't you going to give us something in return? ”

In the end, the head of the association, who was forced to be helpless, still agreed to Rod's two requests, he wanted to talk to Rhodes about the conditions, but the old president also knew that the situation was urgent now, but it was not the time to talk about the conditions, so he finally promised Rod that if they could complete the task and return safely, then he would give the Starlight Mercenary Group five points, and the association official would give 20,000 gold coins and three pieces of magic equipment as a reward. The reward for this task was not undeniable, and then they agreed to make preparations for the departure today and set off early the next morning. Then Rhodes left the Mercenary Society.

"I really don't know what you think!"

Sitting back in his chair, the president looked at Serek who was smiling and standing by the window with great dissatisfaction.

"Do you really think this kid has the ability? I think he's just talking nonsense. The kind of enemy in the Silent Heights that he can come and go whenever he wants? He also said that he was familiar with it? I think these eight achievements are nonsense! ”

"I don't think so."

Serek shook his head with a wry smile, and then, with a retracted smile, he looked at the Elder.

"You should also know that this kid took over the task of the Pavel Cemetery when he first established the mercenary group, and finally not only came back safely, but also rescued the Red Eagle mercenary group. I once asked the people of the Red Eagle Mercenary Regiment, and this young man was so familiar with the undead that even the necromancer who had been away from Pavel's Cemetery for many years didn't get anything from him......... Old job, do you think it's just a coincidence? ”

"What do you want to say? Serek? ”

"I don't want to say anything."

Serek turned his head and looked out the window, and at this moment, night had fallen.

"I just think that young man is really a funny guy........."
