Chapter 38 Mercenary Union

As a mage who climbed up from the lower levels of society with unremitting efforts, Aklan is obviously not the kind of person in the ivory tower who does not eat human fireworks. His familiarity with Farrell has greatly helped Leon.

With only a few gold coins, the mage rented a house near the dock that could accommodate the camel team. Many families around the dock rely on it for a living, which is very convenient for accommodation and dining.

After calming down the rock hammer and others, he took Leon to find a ship owner at the dock to negotiate the matter of crossing the river tomorrow.

Finally, the mage disguised as a middle-aged man entered the city of Farrell with Leon.

This is the first time that Leon has come to a big city on the glorious continent.

Behind the tall city walls, the buildings occupy all the sight. This city in the central and western part of the mainland is said to have a history of thousands of years, and the sculptures that can be seen everywhere on the street tell the story of vicissitudes.

The high roof is like a forest, the ancient bell tower is bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, and the city of Farrell is ushering in a new long night.

The street, which is enough to accommodate four or five carriages in parallel, is covered with thick slates, which are quite clean and tidy. There are countless shops, hotels, restaurants and bars on both sides of the road. Those signs hanging under the eaves of the high corridor can be called a work of art, revealing the heavy atmosphere of the precipitation of time.

The sky gradually darkened and it became colder and colder, but there were only a lot more pedestrians on the street.

Tough and rough mercenary adventurers, funny wandering artists, polite magicians, front and back nobles... Many women still wear chest-out skirts, but with scarves around their necks. Their laughter and enchanting eyes are undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery in the city.

Leon had already changed his cloak, and a set of blue-gray strong clothes completely outlined his burly and strong body, in sharp contrast to the elegant Aklan.

Aklan is Leon's followers, but when the two walk together, others will only regard Leon as Aklan's entourage - the barbarian warrior to protect the mage, which is normal.

The woman in this city was quite bold. Along the way, Leon received several ambiguous autumn waves, and even a carriage threw a brocade handkerchief from the window as he passed by!

"If you like it, take it to the address written above later, and you won't be lonely at night." Aklan smiled and said, "Many ladies like barbarians very much. You are much more handsome than ordinary barbarians!"

Shit! I'm not a midnight cowboy! Leon glanced at the mage with contemptuous eyes, and the ghost knew that the woman who wrote a brocade handkerchief with lipstick was beautiful or ugly. Maybe it was a public carriage!

He casually threw Jinpa in the gutter by the road.

"Cough! I'm kidding..." The mage coughed a few times: "The gate will be closed at the standard Jiusha in the evening, and we have to finish everything before that."

Leon knew that the world also had a standard time measurement. In ancient times, people used hourglasses to time. Later, with the rise of magical civilization, clockwork clocks and magic clocks that could be accurately timed appeared.

It's just that whether it's a clockwork or a magic clock, the price is extremely expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary civilians. Leon saw an automatic magic pocket watch in a shop in Blackstone Town, with a price of 1,000 gold coins!

BAND! Dong! cheng...

As if echoing Aklan's words, the low bells came from afar, ringing six times in total.

It's six o'clock! It is equivalent to saying that they still have three hours to stay in the city of Farrell. Leon nodded and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The two found a restaurant nearby and hurriedly settled the dinner, and then Aklan went in and out of several shops on the busy street with the money bag given to him by Leon.

Before long, Leon had a heavy pocket in his hand, which was full of trophies purchased by Aklan.

After buying something, the two took a taxi to the mercenary union.

The Mercenary Union is a unique organization of the human race. It was first established for more than a thousand years, and later it once infiltrated other races, and its power is quite huge.

The surname of the mercenary union is very complex. It is equivalent to an intermediary between mercenaries and employers, but it also bears the responsibility of supervising thousands of mainland mercenaries. A regular mercenary regiment or mercenary team cannot be recognized by the employer without the certification of the union.

Only those mercenaries with innocence, reliable status and good reputation can accept the entrustment of the trade union. If the task fails or betrays their duties, there will be different punishments. Therefore, mercenaries pay great attention to credibility and abide by the commandments, which is completely different from the adventurers.

The mercenary union in Farrell City is near the Great Square in the city center, which is the golden zone of Farrell City. According to Aklan, those who can own a four-story or five-story house here are either nobles or rich people worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

The mercenary union occupies a row of buildings on the busy street, at least ten times the facade of ordinary shops. This luxuriousness makes Leon think that he has entered the office of some of the world's monopoly enterprises.

The huge crystal lamp is hung from the painted dome, and the bright light will illuminate the hall that can accommodate thousands of people, and the smooth cloud stone floor clearly reflects many figures.

There are no ordinary people in and out of here. Warriors, warriors, mages, nobles, merchants... On the one hand, they hand over tasks, and on the other hand, they entrust tasks. The two sides clearly do not interfere with each other, suddenly like two worlds.

And Leon and Aklan are on the side of the entrusted task. Not only are there few people on this side, but the service they receive is also very different.

In most places, the level exists. Aklan entered the hall and went straight to the stairs.

He showed a small silver medal to a waiter standing by the stairs, and then was respectfully greeted to the second floor.

"I am a silver star customer of the mercenary union, and I am qualified to release tasks on the second floor. If it is Venus, I can go to the third floor..." Aklan explained to Leon: "The treatment and priority of each layer are different."

The second floor is a specially separated small room. Both the decoration and furnishings are quite luxurious, and the beautiful maids provide fragrant milk tea and snacks. The service is extremely thoughtful.

"What tasks do you post here?" Leon asked curiously.

Aklan took a sip of milk tea and explained, "Our mage needs a lot of materials to learn magic. Although most of the things can be bought in the mage union, some materials are very gunners. I am just a third-level magician. The purchase priority level is too low to be with those senior methods. Master's robbery!"

"So I often come here to send out tasks to buy magic materials. Although the price is a little high, I can still buy it. Most of the hard-earned money over the years has been thrown here, so I upgraded to the silver star level in a few years."

So that's it! Leon understood that it sounded interesting that the mercenary union was quite interesting.

While the two were drinking tea and chatting, a thin middle-aged man came in.

He saluted Aklan respectfully: "Dear guest, what tasks do you need to publish?"

"I need an excellent guide to lead my caravan to Tomund City, the southwestern province of the Kingdom of Bemon. As long as I bring it to complete the task, how much do I need to pay?" Aklan asked bluntly, "Depart at Pier 5 at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"

The middle-aged man sat down at the small desk next to him, opened a small scroll, picked up the quim on the table and wrote a few lines, obviously recording the content of the task.

"Ade for an excellent guide, the task is to lead the caravan to Tomond City, danger level intermediate..." He stopped his pen and said, "Sir, the minimum reward is 30 gold coins, and the best reward is 50 gold coins. Because your task is urgent, you need to add an additional reward of five gold coins."

"According to the rules, our union charges the fee and deposit of ten gold coins."

Without saying a word, Aklan took out his money bag and counted sixty-five gold coins and put them on the table: "I will pay the best reward so that the other party must be on time. We don't have time to wait!"

"Please rest assured..." The middle-aged man got up and saluted again.

Ask a guide to add up to 65 gold coins. The price is really not low! Leon thought to himself that he didn't care about the money. He believed that there was a reason why it was expensive.

The mission was released, and Aklan did not continue to stay and left with Leon.

When going down the stairs, Leon couldn't help asking, "Intermediate danger level, is there still a danger on the way to Tormond City?"

"Yes..." Aklan nodded and replied, "Let's talk about this matter later. It's not convenient to talk about it here."

While talking, the two went down the stairs and walked through the hall, all the way to the gate, and passed by the group of people who had just entered the door.

There were six people in this group. In the front was a thin and long-faced man. He suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Leon and Aklan.

Leon and Aklan were walking out of the door of the mercenary union, so he only saw their backs.

The long-faced man's eyes fell on Aklan's body, with a look of surprise on his face, and he pressed his waist pocket with one hand.

"Jason, what's wrong?" One of his companions asked puzzledly.

A fierce look flashed across the long-faced man's eyes and whispered, "There is prey! Let's not hand in the task first. Come with me and have a look!"

The others were obviously the only ones who were the first to do so, and they nodded and agreed one after another.

On this side, Leon and Aklan returned to the street.

Because it was still early, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back and wander around the central square to enjoy the night style of this bustling city.

But this turn doesn't matter. The accident happened!
