The last city of peace on the continent......

Flame. Lich. Closer and closer fireballs and ...... Destroy......

I woke up suddenly, and the dream I had just had was like the sharp teeth of an evil dragon, biting at my mind.

I turned my head to look around, the moldy bedding, the thin plank walls, and the rusty scimitar nestled next to the bed. For a second or two, the mind was distracted, and there was a noise of tavern drinkers downstairs. It occurred to me that I was in the hotel of Zenda, and that it was just a dream......

Yes, a dream.

I rolled over, the pain of my hangover still lingering in my head, like a tightening hoop.

I was a mercenary, escorting a caravan from Paravon to Tiha, and we slowly swallowed it for half a month, and finally arrived at Chanda, the only peaceful city on the Calradia continent (because Count Arassis made outstanding contributions to the defense of Calradia in the last invasion of the Dark Order on the Calradia continent, so the Five Great Powers granted Count Arassis absolute dominion over Chanda, and he also rescued Chanda from the battle of the five great powers. Since then, Chanda has become the only city on the continent of Calradia that has not been fought), and in Chanda, they can at least not worry about their goods, so we let go of our arms and have a drink.

Now, it's time for them to wake up, and we're on our way too.

I went downstairs to the bar, but I didn't see the damn merchants.

The boss, Suk, told me that they had gone first on the grounds that I was drunk like a dead dog, and that they had even used this as an excuse to deduct the five hundred dinars that should have been paid to me.

"This is the honorarium they give you. Suker pulled out fifty dinars from the counter and placed them in front of me.

"Go ****** the honorarium...... I immediately wanted to rush out and find the merchants and beat them up, but I hesitated, "Fifty dinars is not bad......

"Do you know what kind of work is there for a mercenary like me to do?" I asked Suke, the young man.

Su Ke thought for a while: "Recently, there have been many water thieves in this vicinity, which has destroyed the peace of Chanda, Count Arassis is recruiting bounty hunters to exterminate the water thieves, the salary is very generous, including food and shelter, as well as five insurances and one gold, and after a good performance, you can turn into a regular formation, maybe you can join the most elite armed team in Calradia - the establishment of Chanda Chengguan, since you are a mercenary, maybe you can try." ”

Ten minutes later, the sheriff next to Count Arassis told me that I didn't have a bandit license, so I couldn't join the bounty hunters.

"What's the bandit certificate?" I asked curiously.

"You go to Instructor Kai, don't bother me," the sheriff yawned.

I then found the instructor Kai, and the first time we met, it suddenly felt familiar, as if I had seen this guy when Su Nuo was a bodyguard.

Kai snorted: "I used to be a mercenary in Suno, haha......"

Kai went on to tell me three of his stories, leaving home in anger as a teenager, working as a bodyguard for the Duke of Suno in his twenties, resigning in his thirties and joining the army, and then getting to where he is today.

I complimented him, but I was disdainful.

Kai sighed, and finally remembered what I was here for, "You are here to apply for a bandit suppression certificate, do you have a letter of introduction from the unit?"

"A letter of introduction?"

"Yes, as a civilian armed personnel, what unit are you attached to? If there is no affiliated unit, how can we rest assured that we will issue you a certificate to suppress bandits?" said with a smile. "Why don't you spend a little money and go to the arena owner in front of you to get a tie, or find Ramon to hang up, and say it's a temporary worker for his chengguan team?"

I silently pulled out the scimitar at my waist.

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Just kidding......" Kay said with a laugh.

"It's not impossible for you to get a bandit suppression certificate, but you have to pass the exam, which is a national regulation. Kay continued.

"Exams?"

"Yes, the exam is very simple, see the training ground behind me, you can defeat a total of 12 opponents in four levels in it, and if you pass the level, you can get a certificate of suppression. ”

"Oh...... I try, "If it's a beating exam, I should have no problem."

Kay then let me into the training ground.

The first to pounce was a guy with a five-short body and a shoehorn face, and the jujube stick in his hand was whirring.

I turned sideways, stumbled under my feet, and he fell to the ground and snorted.

The second came, holding a wooden two-handed sword in both hands, which seemed to be heavy, and he began to puff and pant after two strokes. I dodged a few times, and he threw himself down.

Third ......

Fourth ......

As I shoved my pumped soles into the mouth of the twelfth opponent, Kai opened the door and came in. "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a master who has been rolling in the mercenary line for more than ten years, this little test really can't bother you, this is your bandit card, now you can go to the sheriff to report." ”

So I left. Kai then proceeded to earn a large sum of tickets from the crowd of onlookers. "I'll just say that it's okay for my brother to hit twelve!"

"Yes, yes......" The crowd reacted strongly.

I learned this much later, and after I showed my bandit badge to the sheriff, the sheriff incorporated me into a fifteen-man band of bounty hunters, and in addition to me, there were nine temporary workers, and five fat-headed, big-eared ones, supposedly relatives of the sheriff, who were the squad leader, vice-captain, instructor, quartermaster, and quartermaster's secretary (uh, quartermaster's secretary...... All our equipment will be sought out from them, and the loot will be handed over to them.

I thought it was a little unfair, but the captain of the squad who was so fat that even the feet of the pack horse under his crotch were shaking said in a thick Nord accent, "What are you doing, do you want to be paid?"

On the first day of payment, fifteen of us encountered four water thieves, the squad leader, deputy captain, instructor, quartermaster and quartermaster's secretary in the rear of the battle line vigorously waving flags and giving advice, and the remaining ten of us swarmed up and beat the water thieves into pigs' heads.

The instructor licked the quill with his tongue and wrote in his notebook: "On April 5, under the wise guidance of the thinking of Count Aracis, under the witty command of the captain, under the leadership of the deputy captain, and under the enthusiastic encouragement of the instructor, the first team of the bandits won the first battle in one go, defeating 400 bandits and killing 15 of the enemy. This battle has raised my prestige, which is really gratifying......"

"Four hundred?!" I was startled.

The instructor glared at me and ignored me. We rested for a while on the banks of the You River, and then struck again, and once again succeeded in defeating a dozen water thieves who were fishing on the You River.

I said, "Captain, these guys look like fishermen by the You River, not like water thieves, you see they don't even have knives in their hands, just sticks and stones......

The captain said: "That is also a murder weapon, and the lack of a knife means that they knew about our rectification and sweeping activities in advance and hid the evidence of the crime!"

I said, "Oh......"

The instructor went on to write: "On April 6, the first team of the payment of fees passed on the good news again, under the wise guidance of the Count of Aracis, under the witty command of the captain, under the leadership of the deputy captain, and under the enthusiastic encouragement of the instructor, they used clever plans to wait for the rabbits on the banks of the You River, and in one fell swoop exterminated a den of bandits, killed more than 300 water bandits, broke more than 100 people, and captured 7 people, after this battle, the two banks of the You River should regain the Qingming ......."

Our anti-bandit activities lasted for more than half a month, and we probably defeated seven or eight bandits, but in my opinion, it was nothing more than the capture of a few fishermen, and I became more and more unhappy, and the captain also saw it, and finally after a battle, the captain talked to me.

He said: "Xiao G, in other words, in our anti-bandit activities this time, I feel that your performance is very outstanding, and there is no way out if you nest under my hands, otherwise, I think you are enough to be able to take charge alone, why don't you go to the sheriff to register and set up a separate team, so that your talent will not be buried, right......"

I said, "Can I register a separate team?"

He said, "Yes, as long as you're like me, and you can afford all the equipment for your team." ”

I said, "Captain, it looks like we brought all the equipment from our team......

He said, "yes, oh hehehe......"

I said, "Just get a sheriff to register?"

He said, "That's right. ”

I said, "Don't need a permit?"

"Generally speaking, no," he said. ”

I said, "Are there any special circumstances?"

He said, "Then I don't know." ”

I then left the bounty hunters, and before leaving, the squad leader, vice-captain, instructor, quartermaster, and quartermaster's secretary shook hands with me one by one, their eyes were red, their voices choked, and they said: "Little g, from now on you will have to be your own alone, we see your growth, both gratifying and reluctant, henceforth you must keep in mind the earl's teachings, and always adhere to socialism...... Ahem, what am I talking about...... You've made a difference, but you must remember us......"

The next thing was to say goodbye to my comrades-in-arms who licked the blood from the knife edge, they didn't say much, just hugged me silently, and the youngest chubby in the team cried even more.

The eldest looked at me and stopped, and finally he said, "How easy is it to talk alone...... Especially if you have a regular weaving, you will have a subsidy...... Now that you've decided, I'm not going to stop you, I heard that there is a very capable guide around here, he is familiar with the way, and his name is Mama Tea, you can inquire. ”

I nodded silently, waved goodbye to my comrades, and rode my horse away from the small group. When their figures disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun, I finally turned back with tears in my eyes and ran in the direction of Zenda...... I want to register, and I'm going to find Mama tea.

However, when I was about to get to Zenda, I suddenly remembered a question, it seems that the captain of the salary for half a month has not settled for me......

It was late at night when I got back to Zenda, and the sightly insane Shaw was still running around the square, and I was going to go to the tavern for a night's rest before registering with the sheriff to-morrow. After all, people work from 9 to 5 p.m.

When I entered the tavern, the merchant whom I had met several times before sat in his seat and got drunk.

"I used to be a rich man in Calradia......," he said.

Suke followed, "yes, yes......"

He said: "It's a pity that I was blinded by money, divorced my wife, and went to find a sixteen-year-old little Lori, thinking that this was the fashion ......"

Suke said, "yes, yes...... as he wiped his glass.

He said: "I didn't expect that once I went out to run a business, she actually had an affair with my housekeeper and ran away with all the money in my account, and now I haven't found it back......."

Suke said, "You are so pathetic......

He said: "I suffered this big loss, and several business partners came to collect the debt, forcing me to take a risk and smuggle a batch of velvet ......."

Sook said, "Wow......"

He said: "Who knew that in Riwache, he ran into the urban management law enforcement team, confiscated half of the goods at once, and fined me tens of thousands of dinars......

Suke said, "Alas......"

He said: "I thought, let's go to Zenda to hide first, who knew that I ran into Haikou on the road again, and now the remaining half of the velvet was robbed again, and I am now penniless......

Su Ke's face changed a little, and he said, "Then you're not eating the Overlord meal now?"

He waved his hand: "It's good that I hid five dinars under the insole, but after this meal I will be completely poor." ”

Su Ke's face improved a little, and he said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can pay for this meal first." ”

He paid the last five dinars, staggered out the door, and waved his hand as he walked in front of me: "Hey, buddy, do you know how to get to the river?"

I said, "What are you doing in Youhe?"

He said, "I'm going to jump into the river......"

I shuddered and dragged him down: "Dude, why don't you want to jump into the river......"

He said, "I'm bankrupt ......."

I hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just organizing a team of bandits, see that you also have a few strengths, don't dislike it, just do it under me." ”

His eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, yes, is it true?"

I said yes.

He then asked: "Then, all of them are covered with food and accommodation, five insurances and one housing fund, holiday subsidies, high temperature subsidies, transportation subsidies, communication subsidies, and double wages for weekend overtime?"

My face was a little embarrassed, and I let go of my hand like an electric shock: "I haven't even yet, you better die......"

He suddenly didn't want to die again, and he smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't, I'm optimistic about you, follow you, there must be meat to eat." ”

So I had this man named Manid, who was a bankrupt merchant's subordinate. This is my first subordinate.

The next day, I went to the sheriff to register, and by the way, I reported the results of my previous suppression of bandits, the sheriff's face was a little dark, and he took out six hundred dinars from his pocket and hesitated, and Manid on the side immediately said: "Your Excellency, our achievements today are inseparable from the correct guidance of the Earl's thoughts, and your warm care and careful greetings, Your Excellency, you are the greatest hero!" You don't have to give us this money, eliminating harm for the people is what we should do in the righteous path, and we are absolutely inseparable from those water thieves who disrupt social order and harm the township!"

The sheriff's face suddenly brightened, and he patted Manid on the shoulder and said to me, "You are a sensible man. ”

I said, "It's all taught by adults." ”

The sheriff laughed, and our registration was done.

Manid asked, "Boss, what are we going to do next, do you want to rub it off?"

I counted the dinars in my purse and said, "Rub it...... Forget it, I'll invite you to swim in the You River later, and say no (to be continued.) )
