Chapter 32: Irish Town (14) (2nd update) Survivor Hua...
The three meals a day at the Mercenary Corps are all prepared by ordinary chefs. The wages are very cheap. Hiring two chefs costs less than 3 silver coins a month, which is one-third of a level 1 water beast core.
The food in this world is definitely worse than the various recipes on Earth. It is generally more Western-style and does not smell or look that good.
It is better than the British "Looking Up at the Stars" dark cuisine, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "food desert".
Thanks to the food desert, Ye Mo can eat fruits for three meals a day here without drooling over dried demon meat and boiled demon beasts.
As long as the vegetarian food on the plate tastes a little sweeter and sourer than chestnuts, it is good. The requirements are not high.
The most imported variety in this world is alcohol.
There are wine, yellow beer, fruit wine, plant wine, etc., with alcohol content ranging from low to high. Mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife often like to have a sip, but the alcohol content before and after the mission is different.
Ye Mo also tasted a glass of fruit wine, which tasted okay, and was a different style from freshly squeezed juice.
During lunch, Captain Hook formally invited Ye Mo to join the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps for the first time.
But Ye Mo refused, and there were two reasons for the refusal.
First, Ye Mo's goal was very clear-to kill monsters.
Her personal purpose was too strong, and she could not be unified with the mission concept of the entire mercenary corps from the fundamental point of view, which easily gave rise to conflicts of all sizes. When faced with conflicts in the future, would she compromise or resist her superiors?
Secondly, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps is a whole.
Everyone has his or her own role, and Ye Mo, who can leave this world at any time, joined the team, which was not a good thing for her or the corps.
If possible, I really want to hire the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps for 80 days, including the consumption of potions, weapons, and the reward for each mercenary... Unfortunately, there are not enough gold coins in the package, and I can't afford it.
"If you are willing, we can continue to cooperate on some tasks."
Ye Mo provides her own military force, spends 1 to 2 gold coins to publish tasks in the Mercenary Association, provides the mercenary corps with task performance and reputation, and provides potions.
During the mission, she will kill at least 30 low-level monsters by herself. Under safe conditions, she will also harvest other monster heads, and the beast cores obtained will be distributed according to the mercenary group model.
A careful analysis of this agreement shows that Ye Mo still benefits. After all, she needs a reliable partner more than the mercenaries. Only by relying on the mercenaries can she grow relatively safely.
Captain Hook agreed.
First, he trusts Ye Mo's character and ability, and second, because of her identity as a goblin craftsman. He also said that during the mission, the consumption of potions will be shared by the team like other members.
Of course, brothers should be clear about accounts. For the sake of both parties, the cooperation agreement should be more detailed.
Ye Mo and the two captains discussed many details again, and during lunch, a preliminary cooperation agreement was finalized.
Alice happily ate three chestnut pancakes and three pounds of magic beef in a row!
"Hiccup!"
Others: "..."
...
After lunch, before continuing to practice basic swordsmanship, Ye Mo first consulted the archer Jack.
Compared with swordsmanship, she seemed to be more suitable for bows and arrows. Jack even called her a natural archer!
This title is a bit too high.
Facing shooting, Ye Mo still faced a lot of problems, only slightly higher than swordsmanship.
The first is that the body's agility and coordination need to be further improved. The second is to understand that mental abilities are not inexhaustible and can be used endlessly. Fighting is often continuous. How to make better use of superpowers requires constant thinking and practice. [Detected that the survivor Ye
Mo has broken through the critical value of strength, mental attribute +1]
… [Detected that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical value of agility, mental attribute +1] … [Detected that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical value of mental attribute, mental attribute +1] Ye Mo trained from the afternoon until late at night, longer and more intensely than the mercenaries, every second counts, and in the process, the three attribute critical values have each broken through one point. When the mental attribute value reached 45 points, there was no system voice prompt, which should be because the difficulty of upgrading is constantly increasing. After seeing a bunch of recovery potions, Captain Hook and the others stopped admonishing and looked at the green short figure swinging the sword on the training ground, with absolute admiration in their hearts. Talent + hard work, if you keep going, Maria is likely to become the first Goblin warrior in Celtic Continent! ... The next day, Ye Mo woke up in a strange environment. The spacious three-story room, the fresh air in the morning, the colorful flowers, the rich breakfast, the noisy friends... This strange experience is quite good. After breakfast, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps rushed to the association to select tasks. Warcraft materials, beast skins and meat, potion materials, and equipment materials, these four types of consumables constitute more than 90% of the mercenary tasks. There will be no tasks to take, but how to choose tasks is also a science. First of all, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps preliminarily determined the time range of their mission this time - within 3 to 7 days. The first step is to remove the tasks that require fighting mid- and high-level monsters. The second step is to remove the tasks that are monopolized by large mercenary groups. The third step is to remove the time-limited tasks that require collecting more than 500 monster cores. ... The remaining small tasks are scattered and often need to be taken on one to five times. This requires the mercenary group to select and integrate them themselves. Deputy Headman Thompson is mainly responsible for finalizing this matter. Others are also helping to look. Alice's eyes suddenly lit up: "Maria, there is someone like you here!" Ye Mo: ...What do you mean by someone like her? Following Alice's line of sight, a new task suddenly appeared on the task list - "70 Level 1 Water Monster Crystal Cores, 10 Level 1 Fire Monster Crystal Cores, collect the following potion materials... and ensure that the task issuer Watson personally kills 40 Level 1 monsters. Time limit: 7 days, task settlement: 13 gold coins + 50 silver coins."
Ye Mo: ...Completely different, this guy is much more capable than her in money.
Undoubtedly, this mission is the most suitable for the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps at present. Thomason first asked Ye Mo for his opinion, and then the team went to the mission arrangement point to find Watson
.
...
Soon, Ye Mo saw a familiar oriental face. It was the survivor, the last survivor to wake up in the space.
He looked similar to the one in the space, with a gentle temperament, except for a circle of blue dark circles under his eyes. It seems that he has not rested well recently. The magic robe on his body shows his profession.
This mission is very popular for small and medium-sized mercenary corps.
There is already a mercenary corps communicating with him. According to the agreed mature principles, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps will wait until they break down before going forward to discuss in detail with the mission publisher.
Watson glanced at Ye Mo, and his eyes flashed with surprise for half a second. It was not surprising that he recognized her.
The two looked at each other briefly and looked away at the same time.
During the conversation with Captain Hook, Watson spoke at a steady pace and with a sincere attitude. He exuded a trustworthy affinity, which also won a relatively high initial impression from the team members.
Through the conversation, it was learned that this task was not issued by Watson, but by the potion instructor who helped him.
The potion masters in this world are as rich as the goblin tinkerers. They rarely issue small tasks with only level 1 monster crystal cores. The source of the task must be related to Watson.
Captain Hook deliberately gave Ye Mo's side equal respect in front of Watson, which made Watson thoughtful and inadvertently glanced at the two weapons on Ye Mo's back.
"Happy cooperation!" ×3.
After a brief exchange between the three parties, the mercenary mission was successfully accepted.
...
The process of leaving the Irish town was similar to the previous one. Depending on the mission, supplies were added or subtracted, and then the journey was made on foot.
Watson was much more prepared than Ye Moqi at the time. He was a wilderness survival enthusiast, and basically prepared according to the wilderness survival on Earth. Captain Hook only needed to make a slight adjustment.
In addition to the magic wand, he also had a primary sword worth about 1 gold coin, which surprised the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, although his sword-holding posture occasionally revealed a bit of an uncoordinated sense of peacekeeping.
Alice secretly guessed that they had met the second 'Maria', but in fact they were very different.
Watson is a water magic apprentice. His physical strength is higher than Alice's overall, but the combat power of low-level water magic is much worse than Alice's fire magic. His speed and strength are not comparable to those of ordinary swordsmen.
On the way to the Monster Forest, Watson's overall performance was worse than that of the young girl Alice due to the problem of the primeval forest.
Fortunately, Watson's personality is the same as Ye Mo's, which makes his teammates worry-free. No matter how tired or hard it is, he is very calm. Even if he was scratched by vines, he could smile and drink potions without frowning. He is a man with perseverance and hardship.
The team members gradually became familiar with each other.
Ye Mo and Watson can also chat a few words. They both use the language of the Celtic Continent, which is a tacit understanding between the two sides.
On the first day, the goal of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps was still to kill scattered monsters.
This can quickly test new partners, train new team members, and improve overall tacit understanding.
The heads of level 1 monsters belong to Ye Mo and Watson, and the heads of level 2 monsters belong to Ye Mo. Although killing monsters is very important to the survivors, neither of them has the intention to compete, so they do it in order.
Watson, who has just joined the team, can only wait until the monsters are dying before he goes forward to harvest heads with a bronze sword, like an extra member who is outside the entire team.
In contrast, Ye Mo and Alice, or Ye Mo and any junior swordsman, or even Ye Mo can kill level 1 or level 2 monsters by himself, and they cooperate well in long-range and close-range attacks.
Whoosh -
two short arrows shot out at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, hitting the eagle's wings!
Before the eagle fell halfway in the air due to the injury, Alice had already flown a small fireball far away. Ye Mo quickly drew his sword with his bow, and shuttled through the jungle like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, the eagle fell to the ground.
Kakacha -
the eagle monster was killed neatly.
[Side Quest 1: Hunting Level 2 Monsters (8/10)]
Ye Mo smiled with curved lips. It seems that the side quest was completed one step earlier than the main quest.
