Scene 65 Mercenaries Written

;

Brando knows all the background knowledge in the game. If Antitina's understanding of the world is limited to books, then he is a complete veteran. He stared into the opponent's eyes. Although this captain-level figure had obviously deliberately let off steam before, Brando could still judge the extent of his strength from the details of his actions.

About the middle and upper reaches of silver.

He thought that this was almost as strong as the captain of the White Mane Legion column. It was estimated that it was only a sliver away from the leader of the regiment. This shows that the strength of this mercenary group should not be underestimated. But the same goes for Leto and his group. They are just retired old mercenaries, but they all have the strength of the middle and lower reaches of the Black Iron. Brando guesses that they were not much worse than these people in their heyday.

He had only privately asked Leto and his group of friends once or twice about their origins, but the latter seemed unwilling to talk more.

On the other side, Caber was glanced at by Brando, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. This premonition was almost instinctive. When he looked at the other party's dark eyes, they seemed to be bottomless and calm. In fact, as an old mercenary, Cabo had been to many places and met many big shots. Some of those people are Eruin nobles, big businessmen or manor owners, northerners, southerners, mountain people, Ta people and even desert people. He has also seen one or two mysterious wizards - but they are all No pair of eyes could be as calm as this young man's, with a hint of a smile, as if everything was under the other's control.

It was a look full of confidence and confidence.

For a moment, this experienced mercenary actually had the illusion that all his secrets were known to the other party. He frowned and shook his head to throw this ridiculous idea out of his mind, but he didn't know that this was the truth. Of course, he would not have thought that he would let Brando cheat through a few details just by meeting him.

In this era, not many people knew Imalia's swordsmanship. Even Kabo himself didn't know that his swordsmanship came from this lineage. He was just taught by someone when he was young. Not to mention that his strength was seen through just two swords. It would be too ridiculous to say it. Unless the young man in front of him is a swordsman master who hides his strength, then that's pretty much it.

And his eyes have just fallen on the clothes of Brando and his party. They are from Pragues. Although the popular clothes in Golan-Elsen are generally similar to those in the entire south of Eruin, they are very different from those of the mountain people. Far. Caber, who noticed this, was about to speak, but Brando had already beaten him to it.

"Are you outsiders, mercenaries?" Brando's eyes pretended to look past Caber and fell on the mercenaries behind him.

When Brando spoke, Antitina and Roman stood quietly behind him. The girl came from a noble family and was well-educated, so she naturally knew that this was not the time for her to chat. But the future business lady seemed to understand this naturally. She blinked obediently and looked at Brando and Cab without saying a word.

Kabo was slightly startled.

"Exactly, you guys?"

"We pass by Chablis several times every year. Although we are not locals, we are at least familiar with this place. In fact, from the moment I entered the town, I have been wondering why there were so many travelers in Chablis." Brando said with a face. Hong's heart was not beating and he was talking about facts that did not exist at all: "It wasn't until I saw you that I remembered that you were actually mercenaries——"

Antitina's eyes flickered behind him, her expression unchanged. Our little Roman listened with a smile, as if what Brando said was true. I have to say that the business lady is born with some instincts for this profession, for example, in terms of her ability to deceive people. .

“We were invited here to eliminate the lizard bandits in the forest.

"Brando's answer was reasonable and well-founded. The key was to be calm and composed, so that no one could see any flaws. The experienced mercenary naturally did not care about it, so he answered like this.

Besides, the reason why they came here is not a secret.

However, Caber still had instinctive vigilance and did not continue to talk about this matter. Instead, he asked: "How many times a year do you pass through Chablis? You are a businessman, sir. If there is any need for our mercenary group, please feel free to say hello in the future. We will definitely provide the best service."

As he said that, he looked back: "But I'm sorry now, we have a little problem here, and I'm afraid I have to leave soon. If you have time, sir, on behalf of our regiment leader, I welcome you to our mercenary corps as a guest at any time." .”

Brando smiled. This guy was obviously impatient to delay his time here. He probably wanted to find the young man from before in private. However, he pretended not to see it and said as if he was 'suddenly aware': "That's it."

"That's a coincidence." He Mashan added.

Kabo was about to say goodbye and leave, but he was stunned when he heard this sentence: "What?"

"That's right." Brando smiled and simply followed what the other person said: "Actually, this time I came to Chablis not for business, but to find something."

Kabo was stunned for a moment, frowned and stopped.

"What are you looking for?"

"It's just a stone tablet recording ancient documents. This kind of thing exists in the Balogan ruins, on the stone tablet where the Silver Elf records important events. But Mr. Caber, you know that the ruins were occupied by a group of lizardmen a year and a half ago. ." Brando replied calmly, as if there was such a thing: "The last time I came to Chablis was three months ago, to investigate the specific situation of the lizard bandits in the forest. I brought some mercenaries with me once, and I originally wanted to sneak in and steal the slate, but I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, I met Mr. Caber and you all."

Kabo was completely stunned: "You mean..."

Brando nodded immediately: "Yes, according to the rules, in order to avoid conflicts, I suggest using the interpretation of the rules in Article 314 of the mercenary statute to reach an agreement? That is, my people and I will temporarily join you, How about we fight alongside you without endangering ourselves. Then when the operation is over, we all go our separate ways and get what we need?"

Most of the rules in the mercenary world are not explicitly stipulated, but they are established by convention, which is enough to resolve common disputes. However, regulations between mercenaries and their employers are often strictly enforced, while disputes between mercenaries often lead to dissent. About a century ago, the Explorers Guild, a subsidiary organization of the Temple of Fire that manages adventurers and mercenaries, compiled these customary rules into a code that was popular among mercenaries, which was called the Mercenary Code. A provisional method was agreed upon to resolve these disputes in the future.

This written document has been continuously revised, added and deleted a hundred years ago. Today, it is quite sound and complete, but there are still some unfamiliar clauses in it. For example, Brando said this was a custom that was popular in the northern highlands of Eruin about 150 years ago, but few people mentioned it in this era.

So when Caber heard this proposal, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is written, no problem, no problem..." Caber still glanced at Brando with some suspicion: "But I don't have the right to make a decision. If you are interested, sir, you'd better go and see our leader. His name is Macaro, known as the Maned Wolf, is in the inn now, and you should be able to find him there."

"No problem." Brando nodded: "Then I'll leave first, so as not to delay Mr. Caber's business."

Cabo had come to his senses at this time and just nodded in response.

Brando didn't care about the mercenary captain's reaction. When he saw these people before, he had this idea in his mind. Although the lizard people in Balogan Forest are not extremely vicious existences, it is still a bit tricky for him to go deep alone. And if he uses these servants, With the power of soldiers, things will be much easier to handle.

In the eyes of most ignorant people, the Sage Slate is nothing more than a slate. In fact, in past games, the value of this slate only began to increase after cross-regional missions became more frequent.

Therefore, Brando believes that he has the ability to convince the other party.

But who is the leader that Caber is talking about? Macaro the Maned Wolf? Brando was startled for a moment before he remembered that he had almost overlooked such an important piece of information. The Shanmulan Mercenary Group turned out to be them. This is one of the twenty-two most famous mercenary groups in the southern border, but the young man remembered one thing: didn't the Shanmulan Mercenary Group become famous only in the Spring Dawn?

That will be five years later.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little confused for a moment. Did he remember it wrong, or has history changed?

But what Brando didn't know was that when he was confused, Caber behind him was also confused -

…

"Captain, who is that?"

Kabo looked at his subordinates who came up and shook his head: "I don't know, they seem to be local businessmen."

"He is very familiar with our mercenary's written documents. Article 314. I have never heard of the content of this written document. It can't be fake, right?" asked a mercenary.

Cab shook his head, of course he knew it was not false. However, he only remembered that there was such a written document after Brando proposed this. This in itself is not a big deal. There are more than 700 mercenary written documents. It is impossible for people to remember every detail of the complicated content. . In fact, except for the core thirteen articles, most of them are just supplementary explanations. In real mercenary life, they are not strictly followed.

But the more Cabb thought about it, the more mysterious it became, but it was Brando himself.

He always felt that the young man seemed not that simple.

"It's always good to have a few more people," someone said immediately.

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if they are spies over there."

"That's true-"

"Don't worry. If he wants to join us, even if it's temporary, according to written documents, he must pass the test of the group leader." A mercenary replied: "The group leader will definitely let Gabu take action. Alas, it's a pity that Icon The boy has this problem now, otherwise it will be his turn to be in the limelight again this time."

Speaking of Eco, these young people couldn't help but fell silent.
