Chapter 44 Mercenary Association
At the west entrance of the Grand Natural College is a carriage and horse racing station.
The academy is a gathering place for noble scholars of the Grand Principality. With enough gold coins, travel here is no longer limited to horse-drawn carriages, but has also developed beast-carts of low-level monsters, which are faster.
Even in order to meet the special needs of high-spending scholars, large commercial banks have developed long-distance transportation services such as flying monsters and balloon airships. However, the corresponding service fees are not affordable by ordinary people.
Lei Luo raised his head and glanced at the balloon airship that was gradually flying away in the sky. He imagined the beautiful scenery overlooking the earth from the sky, and with longing in his heart, he came to a business called 'Teers' Trip'.
This is a thin boy in his twenties, wearing a light gray burlap shirt.
Bobby, who is good at observing words and expressions, saw the magician in black robes slowly stopping in front of him. He immediately knew that business was coming. He quickly put down the feed in his hand and greeted him with a smile.
"Dear Magician, where are you going?"
Lei Luo looked at the diligent boy in front of him who was about the same age as himself. A few months ago, when he prayed for the pastor's mercy at the steps of Agate Lake Church, he could not compare with him.
"Knowledge alters your fate."
Inadvertently, Lei Luo became more determined in his pursuit of knowledge and calmly said to him: "I want to go to the Mercenary Association."
Generally speaking, scholars will not discuss academic issues in front of believers, which adds to the mystery of magicians in people's eyes, just like Lei Luo in Bobby's eyes at this time, young, noble, and mysterious.
"okay!"
In response, Bobby said: "Go to the Mercenary Association, we have two prices here, two silver coins and three silver coins. It's so fast that it only takes one hourglass time, and it's so slow that it takes about one and a half hourglass times. You see. Which one do you need?”
Lei Luo's heart bleeds when he hears the price.
Pretending to be casual, Lei Luo said calmly: "It takes an hour and a half to come out and relax."
He is a poor magician, and he has no luck this time.
Bobby sighed in his heart, but said with enthusiasm on his face: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will hitch the carriage and take you to the Mercenary Association."
After a while.
Lei Luo got into the carriage and drove along the bluestone road towards the Fort St. Grant Mercenary Association under Bobby's skillful driving.
inside the car.
Lei Luo took out the borrowed books from the library. In the library of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, because of the relationship with the church, there are only a few books on the universe and celestial bodies, and they are all unrefined conjectures of low-level scholars, similar to academic papers. form.
Even so, Lei Luo still read carefully and began to understand the astronomy of the universe.
About an hour and a half later, Bobby's voice came from outside the car.
"Dear Mr. Magician, the Mercenary Association is here!"
There was a lot of people outside, Lei Luo straightened his instruments and stepped out of the carriage, looking at the majestic red building in the distance, like a sleeping ancient beast, with a ferocious aura rushing toward him.
Roar!
There was an endless stream of mercenaries coming and going, with the smell of iron and blood, adventure and wealth, and the astonishingly large Warcraft mounts rumbled past, roaring one after another, the mercenaries coming and going looked sideways, and vowed that their mercenary group would also develop and grow in the future. Then he walked away amidst heroic chatter and laughter, bragging about a thrilling adventure he had once had.
"Sir, please go there by yourself. The aura of those monsters is too strong for the carriage to pass."
Lei Luo came back to his senses, glanced at the nervous horses, nodded to Bobby, took out two silver coins and handed them over, then jumped off the carriage and walked towards the Mercenary Association Hall.
"Sure enough, there's nothing interesting about it."
Bobby weighed the silver coins. He didn't get the tip he expected. He shook his head and drove away in the carriage.
Lei Luo looked left and right, observing the mercenaries standing in front of the Mercenary Association Hall.
There were several regular mercenary groups stationed outside, seemingly waiting for the group leader to enter the hall to receive the mission, and they were whispering to each other.
In comparison, a large number of lone mercenaries are much more lazy. They often sit casually on the spot, leaning on their weapons, chatting and laughing with people they know well.
There will also be a few elves, half-elves, and dwarves in the crowd.
Lelodo glanced at the bearded dwarf not far away, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, what an incredibly strong guy!
Although this guy is only about one meter tall, he is surprisingly strong. His legs are very short and his arms are almost thicker than his thighs. He is leaning against the thigh of a mammoth, and he is not worried about the three or four-meter-tall mammoth. Be careful to step on yourself, there are two large rough axes beside him, the axes are almost as tall as his height.
Gudu, Gudu, ahhhhh...
With wine on his beard, the dwarf immediately tore into the leg bones and flesh with an astonishing appetite.
It seemed that because of the magician, wherever Lei Luo went, everyone around him would give way and soon he would arrive in front of the Mercenary Association Hall.
Lei Luo was about to go in, and someone inside was about to come out. A wild man carrying a black ax crossed paths with Lei Luo, holding an animal skin contract scroll in his hand, and shouted in front of the hall door: "Charge Tomahawk Mercenary" The team recruits five temporary teammates, who can officially join the team after passing the assessment!"
The wandering mercenaries in front of the hall immediately stood up and surrounded them.
Lei Luo walked into the hall. The guardian who maintained order at the door looked at it and did not cross-examine Lei Luo like others.
Countless people stopped, and various levels of tasks were hung on the marble walls, but most of them were D-level tasks, responsible for escorting the caravan, looking for some kind of low-level specimen, hunting some kind of custom monster specimen, etc. , often requiring the cooperation of multiple people.
Curious, Lei Luo glanced at the S-level mission scroll at the top.
S-level missions:
Look for clues to the ancient ruins of the ancient civilization in the Furnace Desert.
Mission reward: 7.5 million gold coins or equivalent energy magic crystals, plus 100 grams of star crystals.
"Well, this should be a task issued by the Royal Academician Committee, right?"
Lei Luo guessed: "Looking for the ruins of the ancient Oran civilization is the dream of almost all scholars. In addition, "Self-Control" also mentioned this ancient civilization that has disappeared..."
Lei Luo shook his head and looked at the other S-level tasks.
S-level missions:
Search for the complete remains of ancient creatures in the Death Abyss.
Mission reward: six million gold coins or equivalent energy magic crystals, plus a lifetime elder seat in the St. Granburg Arena, and a Yellow Spring Bird mount.
…
Later, Lei Luo came to the mercenary mission release area.
This is a sweet-looking blond girl in her twenties, with big lips and blue amber eyes. After looking at Lei Luo, she suddenly showed a sweet smile.
"Dear Mr. Magician, may I help you?"
After a while, Lei Luo paid the silver coins, took the mission scroll, and after confirming that it was correct, turned and left.
Wandering mercenaries who have not joined a mercenary group are commonly known as E-class mercenaries. Although these soldiers will pay some deposits to the association to ensure the effectiveness of the employer's mission contract, their effectiveness will undoubtedly be lower than that of regular mercenary groups. Many people defect from their employers in times of danger.
Fortunately, Lei Luo's trip is not dangerous.
