"I heard that Tacoma City is in crisis. Not long ago, the Prince and the Grand Duke secretly dispatched over 5,000 Black Feather Knights there."
"Really? I heard there were almost 10,000 of them... and 5,000 of them were ambushed on the road and completely wiped out!"
Poof!
Sean still couldn't help laughing.
"Hey! Little guy, what are you laughing at?" The noises around were so loud that the other person could actually hear it!
Waving hands...
"I think of happy things."
"What's the happy news?" Almost everyone on the table looked over, their faces still showing a look of "very unhappy!"
You are allowed to talk nonsense, but I can't just smile?
Their abilities weren't that high, most of them were Orderers level 2 to 3, with health points around 2000 to 3000. Sean felt it was a waste of magic if he got into a fight with them.
"I got a new outfit."
Everyone stared at it, and it turned out to be a new leather armor.
In an instant, it caused a lot of laughter from the people around...
In recent days, many nearby mercenaries have flocked to the two major cities of Lietis and Sedeia, with the purpose of checking out the bounty of this mission.
5 million gold coins!
Not only was it a huge sum of money for the mercenaries, but even Sean had never seen such a number!
With my annual subsidy plus the taxes, even if I resell all the things given by the empire, it will only be a little over 20,000 yuan... That's still looking at the bright side. 5 million means how many years.
But not everyone is willing to try it, and many people just want to watch the fun.
The fact that such a high price can be paid means that this mission is special, and once most people go to the Tacoma area in the southeast, other missions will be vacant.
Mercenaries are a team that values profit. Instead of distributing 5 million gold coins among so many people, why not take this opportunity to complete all the small tasks around?
So Sean watched here for a long time. Although there were many people coming and going, the number of mercenaries who actually accepted to go to the southeast region was not as many as he imagined... and there were various versions of the discussions about Tacoma City in the mercenary guild, and they were all very mysterious.
What those people just said was a very common version...
Even more outrageous is the claim that it was an enemy invasion, and that the empire was preparing to send the mercenary group to resist first!
If Sean hadn't had a general understanding of the mercenaries' habits, he would have almost believed it and these people would still be resisting.
They have no sense of national honor. If someone really attacks them, it would be good enough if they don't stand on the opposite side. How can we count on them?
But even with all these rumors flying around, many people still chose this mission...
"Hello, my friend."
While Sean was still observing the tasks on the screen, a voice suddenly spoke from behind him.
Sean turned around to look.
It was a young warrior dressed in plate armor.
On his head, he had [5000/5000, Neutral] and the [Observing!] state.
"Hello." Sean replied.
In fact, when he was sitting in the mercenary guild, he found that many people were observing him, and there were almost no less than a dozen people who gave the warning. But it was precisely because he was in such a place that Sean did not pay special attention to them.
I guess no matter who walks in, as long as they stop, they will be noticed!
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Watching the other person slowly sit down in front of him.
"I just noticed that you have been observing the task page. I wonder if your friend has found the task he wants to move forward with." The other party said tentatively.
After seeing the situation above his head, Sean understood why the person in front of him came here.
It turns out he was planning to recruit me...
I have heard similar things from Lucille. She was recruited by Kerry from the archaeological team and I came to Telemian just because I wanted to see if there was anything I was looking for in the ancient tomb.
"Not yet, I'm just about to look for it." Sean replied.
"That's great. I've already formed a five-person team. If you're willing, how about joining our team? We've always been short of hunters who can use firearms."
Hearing this, Sean subconsciously touched the rifle at his waist.
So that’s the reason!
The other party probably saw that I was carrying a gun and thought I was a hunter.
"I wonder if you are interested." The man asked again.
It was only then that Sean began to take a serious look at the man in front of him... He looked young, probably about the same age as himself. People who could wear plate armor had good physiques, and there was a long sword on his back.
According to Kerry, the archaeological team leader, the most important factor in determining whether a person is a guard or a mercenary is where their weapons are hung. Placing them on the back makes it easier to run and carry more weapons, so most mercenaries would hang their longswords on their backs...
"I……"
Sean hesitated.
To be honest, I had never thought of using another method to reach the southeast region before, but the other party's words suddenly touched me.
He also wanted to know what happened in the southeastern region, but Frelia's group were directly called over, and in their eyes, he was still mainly a noble and did not have much ability. Sean himself often suppressed his ability in front of them in order to practice magic proficiency.
Moreover, the Black Feather Knights and several wizard groups are considered regular troops, and are the troops that will confront the enemy head-on.
Mercenaries focus more on survival, knowing when to quit and when things get bad, running away, etc.
It suits my own style of play very well!
"Can I meet your team?" Sean did not refuse immediately or give a definite answer, but first looked at the other team.
Even the most capable person is afraid of bad teammates, so let's take a look first.
The man stood up instantly.
"Yes, I forgot about this. I should have gotten to know him first."
"My name is Jonathan, and I'm a mercenary warrior who often hangs out in Lietis..." The other party stretched out his hand first.
"Sean, the bounty hunter from Wall Peak City!"
If you don't give your surname, Sean's name is just a common name. It's probably because the previous generation lived in the relatively closed town of Thelmian. His name is similar to "Li Wei" and "Zhang Qiang" in his previous life.
You could probably find hundreds of people with this name in Lietis.
"Bounty Hunter!"
When the other party heard that it was a bounty hunter, he actually gave me an "amazing!" look.
The reason why Sean said he was a bounty hunter was mainly because he actually had something in his bag to prove his identity...
That is, the thing that the thief girl dropped in the airship rest area on the first night after I came out of Koga City has been with me until now.
And Frelia said this is the bounty hunter's badge!
