Oro City Mercenary Guild.
No matter what time it is, it is one of the busiest places in the city. As long as you walk in, the noisy sound is enough to drown you in the crowd.
Somewhere in the corner of the task board, a team of mercenaries sat in boredom and stared blankly.
"Say something." The man put down his wine glass and looked at his teammates in front of him lazily.
"We haven't accepted any missions in three days. If we don't accept any more, we'll starve to death!"
The four of them looked at the plate on the table with only a few dry breads left on it.
"Isn't there more?"
“But we can’t eat this month’s food.”
"Or let's wait a few days. I haven't had the energy lately and just want to sleep every day. Besides, the latest mission is also very dangerous." Listening to the lazy words of the girl opposite, the man raised his head slightly.
The team was formed three months ago. Originally, there were five people in total, but now only four are left. The team used to operate in the northern cities, but because they accepted few missions, the daily rewards were not much, only enough for the five people to barely make ends meet. However, after the incident in Tacoma City, a large number of mercenaries from the southeast region poured in, causing the money from the missions to gradually decrease, and even increased local consumption.
This made the five people who were already living below the poverty line overwhelmed and unable to even pay the rent.
Fortunately, they later heard that the material living standards in Oro City were still very low when it was first built, and after the city expanded, the population decreased and the rent was very cheap, so the five people decided to move their activities to Oro City.
The first month was actually pretty good.
only
After taking on a few large bounty missions, the team's lazy habits have kicked in again, and this has been going on for several days.
The mechanics at the beginning of the team have all left, leaving only the three girls in front of me
Vanir sighed as he looked at the three of them slumped over the table with their backs to the sun.
well
He turned around and looked at the other teams in the mercenary guild. Most of them were busy leveling up or choosing the next mission.
I remember that the elders in my family always said that girls are more hardworking, so when I chose the team, I specifically picked a team consisting of three girls. Now it turns out that I am not as good as the bartender in the guild tavern.
"Were you looking at the girl delivering the wine?" A sudden voice interrupted Banil's fantasy.
"Ah, no."
"I saw it all!" said the girl opposite with her eyes wide open.
Honestly, my three teammates weren't bad-looking, it was just that we'd been around them for so long that I didn't think they were good-looking anymore. With a witch, a warrior, and a pharmacist, and me being a ranger and the mechanic who'd left, we had a pretty good team.
It’s a pity that it has become like this now.
"You were looking at her breasts just now. I saw it all."
"Barnier has always been nasty, isn't that normal?!" said another girl.
"Hey, we are a team after all, why are you excluding me like this?"
Looking at the three girls in front of him with contempt.
"Okay, let's deal with the problem of food and clothing first. This is the key. Otherwise, you can find a rich businessman to marry and collect more money. Then we will work together to rescue you and run away on the wedding night. In this way, we will have money to work in another city." Vanir suddenly said to the girl in front of him with raven-like black hair.
"That won't work."
"I think this is a good idea. It can not only solve our food and clothing problems, but also let you experience the feeling of getting married. Haven't you always been saying that you want to get married?" Banier said.
"You can't just get married so easily. I won't get married until all the property is signed over to me!" the girl suddenly said.
The other three looked at each other with disdain.
"Come to think of it, Latina. You are of marriageable age now. Why don't you find someone to marry? With your conditions, you might even be able to get more inheritance." The girl looked at the other woman sitting next to her.
She also has the standard blonde hair and blue eyes of a southern girl, but Latina seems to have a better figure.
"Why me? Aren't you looking for a wealthy businessman who can divide his property with you?"
"We can team up together, and then maybe we can cheat all the merchants on the street!" said the blue-haired girl excitedly.
"Then will we be wanted by the garrison?"
"Tsk, I think so. But that's something the merchant gave voluntarily, so I don't think so."
Seeing that the two of them were making a fuss about this matter again, Banier thought that when they had nothing to eat, the four of them usually used this method to distract themselves. Feeling the few dollars left in their pockets, they estimated that it was only enough for their living expenses for a week.
I looked at the pretty bartender serving dishes across from me.
I really don't know when I will be able to settle down and get married in Oro City. You know, among all the cities in the south, Oro City probably has the cheapest housing prices at the moment. Otherwise, I can only go to towns and villages, and there are not many mercenary guild missions in those places.
Just as the four of them were sighing to each other, the head of the mercenary guild suddenly ran in.
"Big news, big news"
Everyone in the guild looked over here.
"There's big news from the Earl's Mansion. I heard that an assassin who attacked the Earl last night was caught, and the man is still hanging in the central square!" The man ran in hurriedly and shouted.
count?
Earl Sean Weigel.
The Lord of Oro City? ! !
The luckiest noble?
In an instant, this name came to everyone's mind.
