Chapter 7, ready to go

In this world, sometimes signing an entrustment contract is not a simple verbal agreement, or a contract It’s as simple as signing a name on the book and keeping it in the mercenary guild.

The correct step to sign the entrustment contract is that both parties sign the contract and sign their names, and then they must go to the church of Jupiter, the Lord of Heaven, to seek the help of the priest. After the priest reviews the contract and confirms the wishes of both parties , will let both parties swear by the Jupiter holy book “Sun Nerve”, so that the contract is signed.

This kind of contract is extremely hard to deny, because this is a world with gods. After notarization by gods, if one party breaches the contract, what awaits will be the terrifying Divine Punishment.

Unfortunately, Sameer was in a hurry, and there was a queue to sign the entrustment contract, so the two sides had to settle for the next best thing and go to the Mercenary Guild to find a notary.

Rizlan’s notaries are notorious for their trustworthiness, and this class is usually filled by local prestigious nobles or landowners.

Notaries are not a corrupt or with no difficulty job, on the contrary, notaries are very much in need of experience and credibility. In Rizlan, even a famous notary family has operated for more than ten generations without a single default. The national debt of the empire is not as reliable as the notary certificate of the Rizlan notary.

“Vision gives you benefits, integrity gives you everything.”

——Rizlan Notary

So after saying that you can contract, it is equivalent to This commission has been negotiated, and then Sid should immediately set off to find a mercenary. This is also the responsibility of the mercenary’s middleman. Even if he can eat both ends, he also has responsibilities and obligations. He has to find a mercenary to accept the commission. If there is a mistake, Mr. Sameer will only find trouble with Sid. If the mercenary is killed or injured, only Sid needs to bear the responsibility.

“Bob, two glasses of the best mead.” Sid pulled out two silver shillings, and he smiled politely and sincerely: “Good cooperation!”

“Here it is!”

“It’s a pleasure to work together.” Frieden -Sameer laughed, taking mead from the bartender, but didn’t drink it: “Have you thought of a good candidate?”

“Please wait a moment for this.” The other party was really impatient, and Sid could only suffocate the mead: “I want to go around and see if there are any suitable mercenaries.”

“The right person, isn’t there?” Sameer’s unremarkable face was full of smiles, and he seemed satisfied with the result.

Sid was silent for a while, he knew what Sameer was talking about, and the handsome boy turned his head silently.

The two Old Knights of the Raven Knight regiment had already stood behind him and Sameer, and when they saw the beautiful boy turn his head, the thick eyebrows Old Knight stared at Sid with “sincere” eyes: “This Little Brother, are you in trouble and need our help?”

“…” Sid looked at Mr. Sameer’s deep and unmeasurable eyes, unable to say a word.

He understands too well.

In recent years, most of the principalities under the Holy Empire have encountered some minor difficulties, and the Raven Knight group in front of them is a clear example.

In Holy Empire, the income of the Knight regiment mainly comes from three aspects, the first is the land estate of the Knight regiment, and the second is the appropriation or franchise income of the superior duchy or the Black Eagle court, such as customs or taxes. The right to trade, and the third is a large donation from related parties. If the nobles need the Knight group to protect their lives and property.

But as far as Sid knows, many Knight groups have been in financial difficulties over the years, and they can’t make money at all, and large donations may come by with luck, but not by searching for it, Knight group His livelihood can only be hoped for by the Principality or the Black Eagle Court’s appropriation, but most of the time, the locality can’t give out so much money, and it is obviously impossible to expect that one or two manors can support so many Knights.

Therefore, a large number of Knight groups began to develop side jobs, and gradually changed their taste.

Sid thinks that many knight groups should have changed their names long ago. They should be called XX training institutions, XX private loan companies, XX freight companies, XX passenger transport companies, XX gaming companies or XX clubs, not Knight groups , Many Knight groups do not have a Knight without a sword, and there are even some famous Knight groups in the second and third dynasties.

The current Holy Empire emperor, the seventh emperor of the Sixth Dynasty, Sun Emperor Isaac once ordered, “Knight regiments are not allowed to do business” and “Empire Knights must eat ‘Imperial Food'”.

For those knights, the emperor is far away, don’t care so much, they are not really Knights anyway.

The Raven Knight regiment is different. This Knight regiment is a Knight regiment directly under the Raven Principality, and the Raven Principality is a relative of the Black Eagle Central Dynasty. After the Griffin Principality entered the Holy White City, it was renamed the Raven Principality. , so the Raven Knights cannot really come out to do business. As the Principality directly under the Knights, they are also impossible to rot.

Therefore, when the Raven Knights have no tasks, they need to make a living and earn some extra money.

However, the emperor ordered not to conduct business activities, what should we do?

It doesn’t matter, the method is always more difficult than the difficulty. Many Knights who come out to make extra money spend all day thinking about “doing the illegal things in a way that does not violate the order”, and they really think about a way. Come.

First of all, find a middleman like Sid, who has excellent aptitude, to help them take the task.

Then, as Sid’s “good friend”, knowing that Sid “encountered” a difficult task that “exceeded expectations”, they, these “chivalrous-hearted” knight models, naturally want to carry forward the spirit of knight. , to help a friend get the task done.

Mission accomplished, Sid “grateful” to his “Knight friends”, volunteering to “give” most of the bounty to them.

Perfect, it’s one of the Knight’s legitimate income “big donations”, and no one can fault it.

This isn’t the first time Sid has undertaken such a thing.

Instinctively, Sid is reluctant to deal with this group of Knights. The Knights have a lot of rules, they are troublesome to travel and don’t like the shameful thing of ambush sneak attack, but considering the urgent time of the commission, tomorrow About to set off, the enemy is a large number of goblins and fast centaurs, the Knights are just right to deal with it, and Sid himself plans to run away after finishing this ticket, he does not want to make trouble.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Bauer, and his name is David.” The thick-browed Old Knight and the bald Old Knight said to Sid: “We are all Knights of the Raven Knight regiment. , specially here to help you complete the task, this is Mochi, apprentice Knight.”

“Hello, I’m Mochi, Mochi-Brazer, nice to meet you.” The young apprentice Knight also stood up stand up.

“Three Paragon Ranks?” Sid observed for a while: “What else?”

“We still have 8 Cornerstone Rank squires and 4 Beginners apprentices. The thick eyebrows Old Knight was a little dissatisfied with Sid’s attitude: “There are so many of us, enough to help you solve the problem, but it’s just trifling some goblins and centaurs, when the time comes you are responsible for watching! Watch us How can Raven Knight solve them.”

“Are there 16 people in total?” Sid estimated in his heart, thinking about the same, these people should be enough to be the official Knight battle strength Needless to say, those few Knight’s squire is fully equipped, plus himself, enough.

“Then we can prepare to sign the contract. After drinking this glass of wine, let’s go to the Mercenary Guild to register.” Sid nods.

“The beginning of a story is always so smooth.” Frieden -Sameer said with a smile, and he stood up.

A sword emerges from the ornate robe, attracting Sid’s attention.

This is a swift sword, the hilt is half gold and half silver wrapped around some unknown metal, and the load-bearing sphere is inlaid with a shimmering crystal sphere.

The sword grid is a pair of gorgeous wings that are unfolded. The length of the blade is about one meter three. The lower part of the blade is the symbol of Jupiter, the Lord of Heaven – the golden sun eight-awn ring pattern, but The centerpiece of the sun pattern is not golden’s sphere or Jupiter’s face, but Sid’s favorite skull iron cross.

The upper part of the blade is shrouded in dazzling aura, and it is placed in the scabbard. A pair of light-cast wings can be vaguely seen. It is also Sid’s favorite golden double-headed eagle pattern. With the scabbard shake.

“What a beautiful sword.” Sid moved towards Frieden, he was intrigued by the sword, it was the weapon of his dreams: “Where did you get it?”

“This is not my sword, I’m just using it temporarily.” Frieden-Sameer saw that Sid was interested in his sword, and said a few more words with interest: “It is indeed a good sword, but Someday I’ll give it back to someone else.”

“To whom? Who could forge a sword like this?” Sid took another look.

“Who knows? Maybe it’s you.” The middle-aged man didn’t want to go on, he signaled that he could go.

Sid was really interested in this sword, he even wanted to ask why Mr. Sameer had such a good weapon and didn’t solve the problem himself, but spent four or five times the price of a normal person. Hiring mercenaries, it doesn’t count if the fat in the mouth is not swallowed. If it is not necessary, try not to say that it is Sid’s habit.

Everything is finalized, so there is no need to say more about the next thing. Their entire group came to the mercenary guild. Mr. Frieden-Sameer and Sid found the most credible local notary of Merz Baron together. In addition to the deposit of 75 gold ecubit, the remaining 425 gold ecubit were all handed over to the mercenary guild, waiting for the task to be completed.

Frieden -Sameer won’t go with them, the client’s business is over.

Sid will continue to sign a contract of assistance with the Old Knight with the thick eyebrows, the Old Knight with the bald head and the others, representing the Knights who come to help Sid complete his mission.

Privately, Sid also negotiated terms with the Raven Knights, a bounty of 500 gold ecubit, Sid unilaterally took 30% of the 150 gold ecubit commission, and the remaining The 350 gold ecubit bounty below is distributed by the Raven Knights, and the gold cup is considered a private gift.

If the Raven Knights don’t do a good job and Sid is forced to take action, then Sid’s rake will be increased to 50%.

The two Old Knights were a little dissatisfied with Sid’s rake so brilliant, but Sameer’s commission was a mission with a serious bounty, and overall it was still very profitable, so they didn’t say much.

The two sides agreed to set off from Helvetia early in the morning on the second day, pack a few “Xunfeng Passenger” carriages, and arrive at the foot of the Dufour first, and then they will spend a day and a half to climb the mountain. , arrive at the destination.

Not much to say, the Knights went back to prepare, and Sid went to investigate Sir Hoffman’s office again uneasy.

Everything is normal except that Sir Hoffman’s living habits seem to have changed greatly since then, his current routine is simply a robot, he goes to work at nine in the morning and eats at 11:40 noon , leaving work at five o’clock in the afternoon, even the clock in the church is not as punctual as Hoffman.

Sid wanted to investigate further. Time didn’t allow, so he had to swallow his doubts. This was probably the last time he and Hoffman met anyway.

…………I am the dividing line of the last meeting…………

Sameer came out of the mercenary guild, he silently read a few words of unknown meaning, The warmth of summer on his face instantly turned into the deep cold of winter.

The project has already started, I hope this time will be different from the previous one.

Sameer reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he looked down at the sword that Sid had praised so much.

This is a two-handed long sword. The blade is one meter five long, with rust spots on it. There are many gaps the size of rice grains on the blade. If you look closely, Purgatory Fire is burning in the gap. .

Helvetia was crowded with people, and the vicinity of the mercenary guild was even more crowded, but no one noticed Frieden-Sameer and his sword, as if this person did not exist at all.

This seems to be his normal state.

Sameer originally intended to be more low-key, because his identity is really not suitable for high-profile.

So, this is the beginning?

Yes, this is the beginning.

Sameer raised his head, looked at the Jupiter Divine Idol standing in the middle of the street, and whispered, “Don’t give up your dreams, go to sleep.”

Ding—a lightning bolt Spiritual strikes came in an instant from afar, and the oncoming purple ripples made the middle-aged man instantly clench the two-handed sword around his waist.

Is there anyone who can discover my existence in this place? !

He saw a young girl standing across the street.

The girl smiling at Sameer.

There are still countless people in the eyes of the two sides. The two sides should not be able to see each other, but the moment the girl appeared, Sameer’s eyes locked on the girl tightly, and his eyes penetrated. About seven or eight people’s bodies.

The girl has an amazing beauty, with long black hair that is full of luster and tied into two drooping ponytails, and her skin is as white and smooth as pearls. The neck exposed outside the neckline is quite slender, and it seems that it will break with a little force.

Long bangs cover half of the girl’s face, one red pupil exudes a dangerous and intoxicating breath, the other eye can only be seen through the gap of the bangs A little spark of golden, the girl’s height is not high, less than 1.6 meters, and her delicate lips like cherry blossom petals are slightly opening and closing.

Academy uniform jacket with dark black and white edging I don’t know which academy’s standard uniform on the continent is from. Wearing it on a girl not only does not have a sense of sacrosanct, but gives people a certain impulse. The allure of the white blouse is exposed from the cuffs and neckline, with a pattern of cat’s claws on it, the red ribbon is tied at the neckline, under the pleated skirt with dark blue and black edges, the girl’s skinny slender pair The legs are wrapped in black opaque pantyhose, and on the feet are a pair of black women’s leather shoes.

The girl moved towards Sameer with a cute and cute smile, her cherry lips opened and closed: “Good day~”

Sameer understood.

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, and he never let go of the sword he held at his waist. Facing the girl’s questioning, he just nodded slightly.

The girl smiled. She smiled sweetly, but gave off an extremely dangerous atmosphere.

How could he be here? “Sameer is a little uncertain.

When the girl saw Sameer’s nervous expression, she bared her teeth when she smiled, from a sweet and sweet smile to a terrifying maniacal laughter, she changed so naturally, so mellow. .

Turned around and walked into the shadows, the girl was disappeared, leaving only Sameer with a weird face.

Is even “He” here?

This time is really different!

It’s getting more and more interesting! The middle-aged man glanced back at the mercenary guild, nodded, stepped into the crowd, and his silhouette disappeared on the street of Helvetia. , there is no trace of it, as if Frieden -Sameer has never appeared.

There will be another chapter today, please join us! The seedlings of the new book need a lot of care from everyone!
