Chapter 4: Household Mercenaries



As for giving advice, Suli doesn't think he can do it.

In Sully's view, Egbert's words of "thank you for your advice" were just to understand what he meant.

After all, this is a Western fantasy world where even lamb chops can be called bleating steaks.

Therefore, Sully thought that Egbert would return to the Holy See of Light next, choose to compete with his opponents, strive to seize the throne of Pope, cooperate with the beautiful and rich girl, complete the counterattack of the male protagonist in the cool novel, reach the peak of his life, and rule the world, etc.

Suli was convinced that Egbert was not from the same world as him. He never wanted to risk his life to explore how wonderful this Western fantasy world was.

The other person knows how to go about his or her life next, so he or she just needs to be prepared to give separate blessings.

After Egbert stuffed the remaining gold coins from buying clothes into Sully's hands, the former Son of Light smiled faintly and said, "This is the remaining silver coins after you hired me to send you here."

As he spoke, Egbert took out a handful of silver coins and placed them in Sully's palm. At a glance, there were at least dozens of them.

"I should have given you more." At this point, Egbert showed a somewhat ashamed expression. Sully's words of a loser were a valuable wake-up call to him. If it weren't for Sully's reminder, Egbert even believed that he would one day fall into a twisted and crazy state that would abandon himself.

At this time, he wanted to give all the money in his pocket to Sully, but he was worried that Sully's strength could not be maintained, so he could only feel ashamed.

Suli is the one who is truly ashamed.

He really didn't expect that Egbert, who had simply been treated as a fool and later, out of naivety, couldn't help but want to click on something, could have such a high level of thinking.

However, when faced with those silver coins, Suli took them without any hesitation.

Just like when facing that gold coin.

Sully's employment behavior has never been to refuse free money.

Adults understand reality better.

For Su Li, the sudden time travel was equivalent to directly destroying his happy life of lying down and eating social security for the next 30 years.

It's not that I resent things that don't exist, but coming to a different world and starting from scratch is indeed a big blow to my life.

There was no wailing on his lips. All the strange feelings about the time travel were buried deep in Sully's heart. Reason also made him constantly think about how he should survive in this high-risk alien world.

When there was no fighting power, even someone of the level of the Son of Light could be hired as a hired hand, which proved the importance of money.

Sully knew he was an ordinary man, so he needed the money.

"I've kept the money, but I'll pay it back to you one day." Suli raised his eyes without any false sincerity, only rational thinking about the future and the answer after reaching a conclusion, "even more times."

Egbert shook his head and said something that was particularly heartwarming to the poor office workers: "In fact, I don't care about the money."

Just a few silver coins can buy clothes of pretty good quality. Just by looking at the number of silver coins shining with silver light in his hand, Su Li has roughly estimated that the ratio of soft girl coins in this world and modern society is about one gold coin equals ten thousand yuan.

Egbert continued, "As you speculated before, I originally planned to go straight into the Monster Forest. However, my behavior should have been speculated by other people in the Church. Before they expected the miracle of my meeting you, they probably couldn't be sure that I was in Sardina City in a short period of time. So I want to take advantage of this time to follow you and learn a lot."

Sully was stunned for a moment. He tried to be tactful, but actually said bluntly: "I don't think I have anything to learn. I am just an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary."

My life goal is to buy a small house, preferably with a small garden, and then raise a lazy and cute orange cat.

Although all of this had been achieved, it was completely lost due to traveling to another world.

What can people from another world learn from him? How to pretend to be salted fish? Or how to judge when to turn over when basking in the sun?

"What you don't care about and don't take seriously is exactly what I need to learn." Egbert confirmed that Sully has his own logic that is completely incompatible with this world.

And what this extraordinarily special uniqueness can reveal is what Egbert needs to know most.

"Besides, you have to believe this. Even if the Son of Light is not a businessman, he will not do business at a loss."

What else can Sully say? Egbert himself doesn't care that his chicken may become green all the way to shine and fall below the bottom line, so he has nothing to question himself about.

Just think of it as a free pastime for rich people.

Then, Sully dragged Cyril, who wanted to clean up the leftovers by herself, and planned to leave the hotel to look around. And Egbert put on his hooded robe again to cover his face.

The streets of this western fantasy world are very close to the modern Nordic-style towns. The blue bricks on the ground are relatively flat, pedestrians walk slowly, with smiles on their faces, and the conversations between people create a lively scene. Compared with the loess roads of Jisso Town, it is clearly prosperous.

There are shops scattered on both sides of the street, and at a glance, most of them are taverns and hotels.

Egbert whispered to Sully about what he knew about the city.

"The reason why Sadina is called the Mercenary City is that all mercenaries in the world need to come to this city to register their identities. The managers of the Mercenary Alliance seem to have far-sightedness. Before the establishment of the Mercenary Alliance, Sadina was only a third-rate city, poor and backward, and even the number of civilians in the city was no more than 100,000."

"Now, the population of this city has reached an astonishing 800,000. And because it can be directly connected to the town of Ziso, the monsters hunted by the mercenaries have driven economic development through trade."

"It's a good city/Sardina is great." Egbert's voice and a strange voice sounded at the same time.

The man who was speaking had a fine stubble on his face, but his eyes were startlingly bright.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol made Sully and Cyril take a step back involuntarily. Egbert stepped forward calmly, blocking the former's curious gaze towards Sully.

The elemental affinity is zero, which means not only that Suli cannot touch the special power system of this world, but more importantly, in this world, as long as people have systematically entered the threshold of elemental master training, when they look at Suli, it is like looking at a place full of active starlight points, and suddenly there is a blank.

Not only was Suli unable to absorb those elements into his body, his body would even instinctively reject the approach of those elements.

For people with good intentions, it is normal for curiosity to be aroused, but if it is malicious...

Egbert would naturally choose to act as a protector and guard Sully behind him.

But the man who had never thought of speaking touched his unshaven face, took out the wine bottle from his waist, took another gulp, and then laughed like a mercenary and said, "Wine is a good thing. Even a child should try it."

Sully deadpanned, "I don't think alcohol is bad, but I can't accept the idea that children should try it."

The mercenary's eyes brightened. He only heard the first sentence and completely ignored the rest. Seeing that Suli didn't dislike wine, he said excitedly, "Isn't it?"

He even wanted to reach out and pat Sully on the shoulder to show his approval, but Egbert stopped him and slapped him away.

The mercenary looked at Egbert unhappily: "I'm telling you, as a mercenary hired to protect the young master, you should also understand that no mercenary would commit a crime in Sadina City."

Only then did Sully discover that Egbert and the mercenary each had a similar brooch on their chest.

Sully guessed that this was the identity that Egbert was going to use in this city, so he said directly, "Egbert is just more responsible. Besides, no one can guarantee that your slap will not make me vomit blood."

The mercenary was stunned for a moment: “No way?” He looked as if he was saying, “You can’t be that weak.”

He even looked like he wanted to try it.

Suli raised his eyebrows: "If you dare to touch me, I will lie on the ground and I can't get up without twenty gold coins."

"If you really want to give me some money, I don't mind."

The mercenary curled his lips and hung the wine bottle back on his waist: "I mind it very much."

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Egbert interrupted the conversation and said coldly, "Tell me, what do you want to do by taking the initiative to talk to us?"

From the moment they left the hotel, Egbert noticed that many people were paying attention to them, but this mercenary was the first to speak.

"You should have reached the level of a scientific elementalist." The mercenary said in a statement tone, "I don't intend to do anything to your employer. I just want to ask if you are interested in teaming up with me to go to the Monster Forest and hunt an eighth-level monster after this employment business is completed."

The levels of elementalists are divided into kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

In terms of science level, they are already among the top people in the world. As for the attribute level, Egbert knows that only the Pope has such strength.

The species only exists in legends. The reality is that there is currently no elementalist in this world who can reach the species level.

"No." Egbert shook his head.

"You don't agree?" The mercenary frowned.

"What I mean is that Sully and I are not in a hired relationship," Egbert said. "You can think of me as a hired soldier of Sully's family."

The author has something to say:

Suli:?
