The little beautiful cat Julia is a Kovil who is in her twenties. This country has been known as the country of mercenaries for hundreds of years. The entire country's army is even replaced by several large mercenary groups. Therefore, in that country, becoming a mercenary is a very common thing, but it is also something that people yearn for.

This lady is a serious military talent who graduated from a military academy. However, because she is still young and has not been in the mercenary world for a long time, she has not grown strong. Now she leads a small mercenary group of less than 30 people.

After the two sides met, they simply exchanged a few pleasantries, introduced themselves, and quickly got down to business.

The little beautiful cat Julia has an above-average appearance, small breasts, but a tall figure.

She was very polite and her appearance was obviously well-groomed. The two strong men following behind her looked a little rough. One had a bald head and the other had short hair, and there was some dirt on their faces.

But this is normal. There were no good things like shampoo in the Middle Ages. Long hair would easily get lice, be difficult to take care of, and be prone to disease, so many men would choose to shave their heads or have short hair. Also, shaving your head would make people feel less irritable and reduce a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Wayne, let's get to the point. What is the mission you want us to complete? And how much is the reward for the mission?"

Wayne showed a gentle smile on his face, then looked at the two men behind the little cat and said bluntly:

"Miss Julia, I hope to talk to you alone. As for whether you will tell your group members later, it is up to you to decide."

The little beautiful cat frowned when she heard that, but she still looked at the two burly men behind her readily, and the two men left the house very obediently. It was obvious that this female mercenary leader was quite prestigious in her team.

After the two left, Wayne brought a pineapple honey cake from the kitchen and placed it in front of the little cat. Seeing this originally quite capable mercenary sniffing subconsciously, but trying hard to pretend to be serious, he smiled and said:

"As I said in my letter, Miss Julia, this employment commission of mine is definitely the biggest one you have ever received in your life. It is also a commission that can change your destiny."

Seeing the female mercenary frowning and looking unbelieving, Wayne did not explain further, but continued to ask:

"Before explaining the commission, I want to know one thing. Ms. Julia, what do you think of the elves, dwarves, and other non-human races? To be frank, do you hate them, like them, or don't care about them?"

Hearing Wayne's strange question, the beautiful cat Julia thought carefully for a while. Because Wayne's current appearance was completely human, she didn't know which side the employer was leaning towards, so she answered honestly: "I treat them as the same kind. I don't hate them, nor do I like them. But I won't discriminate against them and treat them as aliens. In our Kingdom of Kovil, there are also some elves and dwarves living there, and they haven't been rejected too much."

After hearing Julia's answer, Wayne nodded with satisfaction. This answer was more truthful. Moreover, the Kingdom of Coville was only mentioned in the original novel and the game, and there was no overly specific description. However, as a mercenary country, it must be more inclusive. Wayne was also quite curious about this country and would definitely visit there when he had time in the future.

After getting the answer from the little beautiful cat, he coughed lightly and said in a serious tone: "Miss Julia, my commission this time is not a combat mission in a sense, but a very meaningful rescue operation."

"As a mercenary and an experienced lady, you should be very clear about the status of non-human races in the northern countries."

"And the task I entrust to you is to rescue these poor oppressed people and bring them to a safe place. I will then send people to escort them away."

Julia was stunned when she heard this, looked at Wayne strangely, and asked in a low voice:

"Save people?"

Wayne's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said affirmatively:

"Yes, save people!"

"I will not place any restrictions on the means by which you carry out this commission. I will only pursue the final result."

"No matter what means you use, whether you rescue them from the hands of thugs, buy them from prison, or even traffic them here through deception."

"No matter if you are a man or a woman, old or young, as long as you escort them to the safe place I designate, I will give you eight crowns as a reward for each member of the elves, and five crowns for each member of other non-human races."

"There is no limit to the number of tasks for this mission before I stop it. In other words, if you can bring me 10,000 elves, you can get 80,000 crowns."

Julia opened her mouth in surprise when she heard such a generous reward. Eighty thousand crowns, this was an astronomical figure that she dared not even think about. You know, in the entire northern world, it was the largest hiring money in thousands of years. It hired an army of tens of thousands of people and won a very tragic war, and it only cost more than one million crowns.

Wayne was very satisfied with Julia's surprised expression. Although there are many kind people in this world, if there is no benefit, even if someone is willing to do it, it is better to gain more benefits and make people more motivated.

The point of his commission this time is that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward.

"In the early stage, I will pay you 100 crowns as start-up capital. When the first batch of more than 50 people reaches the mission target, I will advance you another 300 crowns."

"Of course, this mission is a secret mission, although I won't say that it cannot be leaked, or that there will be any punishment if it is leaked."

"But you are a smart person, Miss Julia. The more people know about this, the more likely it is that you will encounter obstruction and hostility from certain racists. You'd better arrange someone you trust to do this. How to do it quickly and well is up to you to figure out."

After listening to Wayne's commission, Julia immediately fell into deep thought. She didn't care why Wayne did this. This was not something a mercenary needed to know. She was just considering whether the difficulty and benefits of this commission were proportional, and whether it was worth her effort?

As for luxurious things like morals and principles, they were things she would consider later.

After thinking about it for about four or five minutes, Julia nodded to Wayne, then stretched out her hand and said, "Mr. Wayne, after my careful consideration, our Cat's Claw Mercenary Group has accepted your commission."

"However, for safety reasons, we must sign a contract. This matter concerns the future of the entire group, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Wayne certainly had no objection to this request. After the two discussed some details, the little beautiful cat Julia took the initiative to say goodbye and left.

"Mr. Wayne, can I take this cake away?"

The look of that little greedy cat almost made Wayne laugh out loud.

After Julia left, Francesca, who had been sitting next to Wayne's wine cabinet, eavesdropping on the conversation and admiring the fine wines in the cabinet, slowly showed up.

She looked at Wayne with admiration and first said with praise:

"This is a very good idea, Wayne. Using the human mercenary group to do this will not attract too much attention from others, and it will also help achieve the goal better."

"Perhaps, I should also look for some trustworthy mercenary groups and ask them to help us rescue our people."

Then, she said in a gentle voice with a slight warning, "However, many humans are ultimately untrustworthy. You must pay attention to details and try not to let them associate you with Dante's identity."

"Don't appear in front of them in that capacity either."

"Otherwise, it is very likely to bring a lot of trouble to your current identity."

Faced with such a sincere proposal from the elven sorceress, Wayne said that he would take it to heart. Then the two chatted some more about the elves, the Warlock Brotherhood and how to rescue more elves in the future. The two ended the visit.

Although the two sides now have a certain degree of cooperation and common goals, trust is something that still requires more time to cultivate. If the trust between each other has not reached a certain level, some words and some things will not be raised rashly.

Before Francesca left, the sorceress told Wayne an interesting news.

Currently, in the Kingdom of Toussaint in the south, several witchers are carrying out a hunting mission. They seem to be tracking a pterodactyl, and some are injured. These witchers are all from the south and are not members of the Wolf School.

After hearing the news, Wayne asked the sorceress in a rather playful tone:

"Ma'am, you are really well-informed. Toussaint is so far away from here, but you still managed to get this information, which is something I am very concerned about. I am a little flattered."

Francesca smiled with her hands covering her mouth. Her beautiful face was pleasing to the eyes. She said modestly:

"Thanks to your inspiration, Wayne. I have already started to recruit some informants in some obscure places to pass on some special messages for me."

"As you said, humans can be easily bribed by money. As long as you pay enough money, someone will do things for you."

"However, the one who let me know the news from Toussaint was one of my fellow sorceresses, Fringilla Vigo, who is currently staying in the Kingdom of Toussaint."

"If you are going there soon, I can give you a letter of introduction so that this sorceress can give you the help you want."

Wayne did not delay after hearing this, but said:

"Thank you for your help, ma'am, if it's not too much trouble."

………………

In the following days, Wayne and Little Cat discussed some details of the contract in detail, and finally after dinner on the third day, they signed a complete contract with legal effect.

After receiving Wayne's first start-up capital, this energetic female mercenary left Vizima without any delay, taking her two subordinates with her, ready to meet up with her team members and do a big job.

Just as Wayne said, if this commission is completed successfully, it will be a task that is enough to change the fate of the entire mercenary group. No ambitious person will miss such an opportunity.

According to Wayne and Julia's plan, they would not start with the Kingdom of Kaedwen, which was the most harsh towards non-human races, but would start from other countries, recruiting people while attracting non-human members who wanted to immigrate.

Only when Julia's Cat's Claw Mercenary Group grows stronger and has sufficient manpower and military support will they take on those tough tasks.

The first stop currently scheduled is the Kingdom of Temeria. Julia plans to start from the slums of Vizima, where there lives a large group of non-human races who live a hard life, with a number of almost a thousand people.

All things are difficult at the beginning. As long as you get through the difficult initial stage and establish a set of effective work processes, it will be easier and more efficient to deal with such things in the future.

After dealing with the contract with Julia's Cat's Paw Mercenaries, Wayne took the time to return to Middle-earth and transported a large warehouse full of pipes back to the wizarding world.

Fortunately, this kind of tobacco is similar to fine wine. As long as it is within the shelf life, the longer it is stored, the mellower the taste will be. At least in the short term, Wayne does not have to worry about its storage problems.

After dealing with the trivial matters in Middle-earth and Vizima, Wayne, with the help of Francesca, used a portal to instantly arrive in Toussaint, which will be called the Fairy Tale Kingdom in the future.

In this magical country, there are not only a group of fellow demon hunters, but also many things worth exploring waiting for him.
