Chapter 248 Arrogance

Rody naturally doesn't know what the name "Khadgar" stands for. Perhaps the answer lies in this book, but he really doesn't have the energy to turn the pages at this time. He closes the pages and takes off his coat with all his strength. The next moment Rody fell on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep...

This should be the most peaceful sleep Rody has had in a long time.

Winter is here, and Roddy is not worried about large-scale battles at all-severe cold is an extreme condition for any race. From 590 to 597, no war broke out in the entire kingdom in winter. Even when the orcs invaded, winter was also a "truce period".

In this era, the "cruelty" represented by the severe cold is completely incomprehensible to modern people who are blowing on the air conditioner and heating every day.

And just after Roddy fell asleep, Kieg Town ushered in the first snow this winter.

The cleaning work outside the town has been roughly completed, the corpses have been disposed of, and the wounded are gradually evacuated. The town began to have civilians walking around.

People met each other, and then began to share everything they saw in this battle, and rumors about this battle quickly spread in the town.

Because Roddy fought a "guerrilla war" and a "siege war", there were quite a few witnesses who saw everything through the cracks in the windows... and in the eyes of these people, it was not the "crossroads" that excited them. "Encirclement and annihilation battle at the intersection", but it was the archer with the short bow on his back who pushed back hundreds of infantry by himself.

Speaking of which, in the era of underdeveloped information, the deeds of "heroes" and "knights" are always things that the people love to see. So almost overnight, the story about that powerful shooter spawned at least twenty legendary versions...

"I saw with my own eyes that he jumped onto the roof and shot three people to death like this, one arrow at a time"

"His arrows glowed blue and pierced three men with one arrow"

"A cavalry regiment that came later saw him and was frightened to death. The one in the lead even fell off his horse."

"I heard that this guy is not human, it seems to be a wood elf in the forest..."

At the beginning, the news was considered reliable, but later on, various "details" were gradually added. The biographical literature such as "Dragonlance Knight" or "Dragon Slayer Trilogy" in the bard population is very difficult. There is a market, so it is not surprising that these illiterates describe Roddy as a fire-breathing monster with three heads and six arms.

And Roddy expressed no pressure on this.

On the 13th of November, after changing into a thick leather jacket and asking someone to cut his short hair neatly, when Luo Di was walking on the streets of the town, no one connected him with that "Killing God".

"yawn."

Rody rubbed his swollen eye sockets, tightened his hood, and walked slowly on the snow-covered streets. After a long time, he came to a bar, looked up at the signboard that said "Wild Rose", pushed the door and walked in.

There is no scene of heat waves and loud noises as imagined. People in the town don’t like to go out for activities after snowing, so the number of guests in the bar is much less than before. The fireplace is burning vigorously, and the sound of conversation echoes in the wooden structure The lobby is not noisy.

Luo Di tightened his leather jacket, went straight to a table and sat down, looked at the two people who had been sitting here for a while, took off his hood and said, "Are you all right?"

"With the help of potions and Pastor Akasha, he has recovered."

It was Buffon who answered Roddy, this skinny mercenary was full of obedience and admiration at this time.

The fat Henry next to him was the same. Looking at Roddy's young face, he thought in his heart that the other person might be younger than him, but in terms of ability, he was really far behind by more than ten blocks.

"It's fine, what happened to the information you searched for?"

"From yesterday to now, I have roughly sorted out these..."

Henry and Buffon are considered "local snakes". If they want to consult the town, they are naturally the first to go to them. After listening to the two about the current situation of Kig Town, Rody began to arrange the next task, and he did not forget to take out a bag in his hand : "This is the previous commission remuneration, as well as the compensation after the accidental attack, one yard for one yard, all according to the agreement."

Henry and Buffon were nodding at first, thinking about how to make the task arranged by Roddy more beautiful, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the money bag in Roddy's hand - the fat man who reacted quickly got up immediately and respectfully Respectfully pushed the pocket of silver coins back: "Master Luo Di, you have saved our lives twice, there is no other request from now on, we can do whatever you want, please don't pay us any more..."

Henry's expression was extremely sincere. A week ago, he was still thinking about whether to make some money in the mission, but now he really has no other thoughts: "Just give us a bite of food, you are a person who cares about big things ,we know."

This is the eyesight of a mercenary. Buffon is simply grateful, but Henry can see Roddy's extraordinaryness from this incident-not to mention a battle, Wellington and Knight Titus came to rescue him personally. , can also order the Knights Templar, how can this be something that ordinary people can do?

Rody didn't look surprised, but he didn't put away the bag of silver coins either. Instead, he raised his hand and took out two contracts, saying: "If you follow what you said, then sign this contract, but the money It’s still a reward, and it’s what you all deserve.”

After saying this, Roddy put on the hood again: "Remember those tasks, I still have things to do, let's go first."

Leaving behind Henry who hesitated to speak and Buffon who continued to be dull, Roddy pushed open the door of the bar and disappeared from sight, while the two who stayed in the room looked down at the contract—a copy of the contract on it. The "long-term" contract, with a time limit of 30 years, sounds like a "deed of sale", but the conditions are good, the salary is extremely high, and even vacations are included

"Dude, this contract..."

To be honest, Buffon has never seen such a contract. The contracts these days are basically just a few words repeated over and over again. How can they be written in such detail.

"Sign it." Henry quickly understood that this was Roddy's style of doing things - no ambiguity, clear definition, clear distribution of responsibilities, don't make excuses when you should be used, and rest as you want when you shouldn't be used .

"Then this money..."

"Take it." Henry stretched out his hand to take the money bag in his hand, "His meaning is obvious, we can earn as much as we put in, and we don't give too much, and we don't treat anything badly, understand?"

Buffon nodded, hearing the sound of the silver coin crashing in his ears, but still swallowed involuntarily.

He had never made so much money in his life.

But before the two of them had time to say anything else, the door of the bar was pushed open forcefully, and the originally quiet hall immediately changed the atmosphere due to the loud shouts...

"It's too cold here, Tirion, get some wine"

"Get up, you don't know me? I like this seat"

Four or five guys dressed as mercenaries approached the bar, first drove away everyone by the fireplace, and then began to drink beer cups, cursing dirty words in their mouths, and seeing someone throwing an upset Looking at it, he shouted arrogantly: "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will hack you to death?"

People who have been in Kig Town all year round know that these guys are members of the "Wolverine Mercenary Group". If you rank the mercenary groups in the town, this mercenary group is undoubtedly the strongest-the number of people Many, well equipped, controlling nearly half of the task quota in the town.

The previous "Wolverine Mercenary Corps" was still developing healthily, but in recent years, the situation of "one family alone" has made the members of this Mercenary Corps become more and more defiant.

Before that, the Viscount Telanca controlled the town's various interests and right to speak, so these members were simply arrogant, but after the town fell into a state of "ownerless" recently, this mercenary group began to devour the town openly and secretly. Some interests that used to only belong to the nobles have become more courageous.

In this era, relying on force to speak is the mainstream after all, and the other mercenary groups in the town generally no one dares to provoke them, so in the end, this situation of "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings" was created.

Henry turned his head and took a look. One of them happened to notice his gaze. After taking a closer look, he sneered, "Hey, I heard that the Iron Horse Mercenary Group is dead. Why are you still alive? Where is that pretty girl from your group?" ? Our boss is still waiting to try something new, won’t he die too?”

The "Iron Horse Mercenary Group" has been canceled from the mercenary guild. People in the news industry naturally know about it, but obviously they don't care about it at all, and instead gloated and laughed.

Buffon was so excited by the words that he held the dagger, and immediately got up to say something, but was grabbed by Henry: "Why are you so excited?"

"They" Buffon gritted his teeth. It is a taboo in the industry that comrades-in-arms die in battle. No one wants to make fun of this. These guys in front of them are obviously here to find fault.

Fatty Henry squinted his eyes and didn't speak - it's common for a mercenary to be aggressive and ruthless, and it's not uncommon to fight with a word of disagreement. In the past, he might have pulled Buffon straight up and hacked...

But looking at those two contracts, his mind was clearer than ever.

After getting to know Rody, Henry's "vision" has been raised a lot... The "pattern" that was limited to Kig Town in the past has completely changed unconsciously.

Now what he and Buffon are thinking about is how to help Roddy win this territory. Compared with this goal, the structure of the "Wolverine Mercenary Corps" can only be called "small fights".

insult? After the work is over, these guys can be crushed to death by just looking for some connections.

"Let's go, we still have business to do."

The fat man shook his head at Buffon, got up and left directly.

"You haven't answered my question yet? Is that pretty girl still alive? Don't run away"

The laughter of the mercenaries behind them became more and more unbridled, but seeing that Henry and Buffon didn't respond at all, they felt that it was meaningless, and turned their heads and cursed: "You two cowards, you used to know how to reply, but now So cowardly, tsk tsk..."

"Ignore them, what is the latest arrangement of the leader?"

"Isn't it the ownership of Nauteng Town these days? Anyway, no matter who takes over, the head of the group is going to beat him up... Our Wolverine Mercenary Group is not a soft persimmon, and Tranka needs to give face. If it is someone else, it will be the same to give."

"That is, no matter what kind of noble it is, what should be given, nothing less"
