Chapter 1660 Employment
In fact, Largo did not panic on the spot.
Five minutes later, the mercenary captain, who was helped back by Yaya and Jadeka, said to Mo Tan with a serious face that although he was almost leaking at that time, after all, Still held back.
“But I was really in a bad state at the time...”
Lalgo, who was pale and sloppy, sat cross-legged in front of Mo Tan, carefully picked up the water bag and took a sip. After moistening his chapped lips, he smiled bitterly and said: "Otherwise, if it weren't for worrying about me, Mr. Jadeka and Miss Yaya should be able to catch up with that person."
The old mage, who had been running around since morning but looked calm and not at all tired, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily. Although that woman's speed is not very fast, but those alchemy tools she threw But it’s very difficult to deal with.”
“Wang smells so sweet that Wang Wang feels uncomfortable!”
Ya Ya also nodded vigorously beside her and said seriously with a small face: “Wang thinks I’m chasing you. If it’s too cute, she might get scared.”
“…”
After hearing this, Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and Lu Jiang immediately turned their attention to Judd. Card, obviously they needed a translator who was there at the time.
"Yaya should be talking about poison."
The old mage frowned and said solemnly: "That person's alchemy tools are basically poisonous, and they seem to be very poisonous, so I and I Yaya feels that if we pursue him too hastily, we may stumble. In addition, Captain Largo is in poor condition. Considering that the other party may have accomplices, we don’t dare to get too far away.”
Largo clenched his fists hard and gritted his teeth with an extremely gloomy expression: "In short, the person I just saw should be the one who harmed us."
"Probably so."< br>
Lu Jiang removed his hand from the lower abdomen of the last 'patient' and said softly: "At least the person who brought you to this end is definitely a guy who is proficient in poison making."
Ji Xiaoge, who was leaning on Wang Ba's gallbladder, frowned slightly and confirmed to Jadeka: "I just heard the little bastard say that the other party is a woman?"
The old man nodded slightly. : "Yes, she is a woman wearing soft armor, but she has covered her face, so she can't see clearly."
"Big breasts and a big butt?"
Ji Xiaoge continued Ask.
"This..."
Jadeka was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed that a certain bastard who ran back first said something extra. He smiled bitterly twice and then shook his head and said: "I didn't pay attention, but if it was the bastard who dared to say it, There shouldn't be anything wrong with that."
"That's weird..."
Ji Xiaoge knocked on his head anxiously and muttered: "Obviously he is a handsome guy. If so, I can be sure that the culprit is the gang of flower-picking thieves called [Hunting Makeup] yesterday."
Mo Tan blinked and said curiously: "You said before that they were probably just new friends. The grudge, not the old grudge, refers to those two people last night?”
“To be precise, it should be the gang that those two people were in.”
Ji Xiaoge bit his silver teeth lightly and said with disdain: "We have discussed this issue before. The reputation and reputation of the [King of Destruction] mercenary group in the industry have always been good, and they are also very principled in accepting tasks. It is rare for him to form conflicts with others. Even if he occasionally has conflicts with other mercenary groups due to his position, he will most likely only be in the company after the mission is over. Let's have a drink and have a fight together in the tavern to wash away the past grudges. In addition, except for transporting things to their hometown, they rarely come to the Gold Rush Triangle. Even if they come, they just rush on their way non-stop, so After thinking about it..."
Mo Tan nodded slightly and continued softly: "If you have to say that there is someone who has it, Motive', then it's just the two people who were beaten up yesterday, right?"
"No."
In the end, Largo shook his head and said seriously. : "Strictly speaking, Birger and I didn't beat those two people badly at that time, but beat them half to death. Although we didn't have the sight range directly in the deserted store, we beat them half to death. Kill them within the siege, but if they don’t receive proper treatment in time, the probability of them surviving is actually not much higher, only 40% at most.”
Jadeka stroked his beard. , asked curiously: "So, Commander Largo, you mean that they do have enough reasons to kill you?"
"That's true, but please don't get me wrong, I have no intention of asking for favors from you."
Largo noticed that the well-informed old mage frowned slightly, and quickly waved his hand and explained: "Although Birger and I did take action last night out of a desire to help, I discovered that Brother Mo was actually ready to fight at that time. I'm afraid even if we both didn't do anything, He will also protect Miss Yege and Miss Xiaolu. If you think about it carefully, we are just doing something unnecessary."
Mo Tan immediately raised his hand to interrupt Largo's words and said seriously: "You can't say that, I am. Although I was sure to stop them at that time, I still didn’t know the details of those two people. If the situation was allowed to develop, it was unknown to what extent it would eventually evolve, so no matter what Anyway, you have all helped our team a lot."
Jadeka also laughed, shook his head and said: "I didn't misunderstand anything, I was just a little scared. After all, if you put it like that, we might be too. The target of their revenge, but if it were us, we might not be so lucky... Of course, this is not good luck.”
"No, let alone the two of us who took action, it would be useless even if the other party really wants to retaliate together. Unlike us, you live in Huangdian after all, and in the Gold Rush Triangle, there are also the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, The Steam Consortium, the Adventurers Association, the Archaeologists Association and the Wanderer Hotel are the strongest forces in the background, and they are also the delimiters of the rules in this area."
Largo turned his head and glanced in the direction of the [Desolate Store·Eighth Branch], his tone was rather awe-inspiring: "Except the Archaeologists Association, the other companies are not easy to mess with, especially in the gold mining industry. Now that the triangle is becoming more and more lively, those forces are allocating more and more resources to the deserted store. Naturally, the control over this area has also increased. Although their actions are very conservative, if someone dares to directly attack the guests of the abandoned shop..."
He did not continue, just shrugged and raised his hand He put it on his neck and made a rather fierce move.
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then fell into silence thoughtfully.
Ji Xiaoge, on the other hand, patted Largo's arm, which was almost as thick as her waist, and said seriously: "But no matter what, it is a fact that you helped us!"
“Even if it’s true, didn’t Miss Xiaolu help us?”
Largo smiled at Lujiang, who had exhausted his magic power and had less than one-fifth of his physical strength, and said in a concluding tone: "So we are even."
Ji Xiaoge pouted and glared: "What are you doing? Are you planning to draw a clear line with us?"
"No, no, no, on the contrary, not only do I not intend to draw a clear line with you, Draw clear boundaries, and sincerely want to communicate with you A friend, more than that, I want to ask you something."
Largo changed the subject and said seriously: "But the premise of all this must be that we recognize that we are not mutually exclusive. Otherwise, even if you are willing to help, we may not be able to establish a real and strong friendship. After all, favors are favors and business is business. "
"Business?"
Ji Xiaoge was immediately stunned, and Lujiang, Jadeka and Yaya next to him also showed confused expressions. "Yes, business."
Largo nodded vigorously, and then did not show off any more, and said simply: "I want to hire you."
Everyone was shocked at that time, including Mo Tan and Wang Ba Dan who had remained silent from the beginning. They all said in surprise: "You want to hire us?"
"Yes, in the future [Destruction King] In the name of the leader of the mercenary group, I hope to hire the [Woof Woof] adventurer team as escort, and immediately set off to send our team through the Barbarian Fang Wilderness to the area of influence of the 'Loya' tribe located in the southern part of the Savage Highlands. .”
Holding his stomach that was making an ominous sound, Largo looked at everyone with a serious face and said with great solemnity: "As a reward, I am willing to pay three thousand gold coins, plus two mission priorities of the [Destruction King] mercenary group. , as long as it is a task below A level, we will arrange it for you as soon as possible if conditions permit, and you do not need to go to the mercenary association, and the fee is only Seventy percent of the normal market price, what do you think?"
"Escort you to the Savage Highlands..."
"Three thousand gold coins?"
"Twice? Task priority? Do we mean it as an employer?”
“I don’t understand it, but it feels like a good deal.”
"Wang thinks it's not a loss."
"It's not just a loss..."
Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Lujiang, Jadeka, and Yaya looked at each other in shock and briefly exchanged a few words. After the sentence, his expression was a bit confused.
“Ahem, I probably understand what you mean, Captain Largo.”
Finally, less than half a minute later, Mo Tan, who was the first to come back to his senses, coughed lightly He made a sound and turned to look at Largo, who was waiting quietly for a reply: "It seems that the road from here to the Savage Highlands is not very peaceful?"
Largo nodded and answered bluntly: "Yes, the biggest problem is the Wild Fang Wilderness. It is not an orderly place over there. Both monsters and people are very aggressive. Although We all have space storage equipment, but some need to be carefully preserved. Food specially given to compatriots in the [Decadence Period] cannot be stored in different spaces, so although the trouble may not be particularly big, I am afraid it is inevitable. If everyone In a normal state, there is no need to be afraid, but now everyone, including me, is a bit unsafe.”
“Have you considered setting off later?”
Lu Jiang raised his little hand and said seriously: "Didn't I say it before? Although those poisons are very fierce, your Highlanders' physiques seem to be very powerful. This level of burden can be cured in a week at most. If it is... Mr. Largo, a strong person like you can be almost healed in three or two days."
Largo waved his hand and said seriously: "I know what you mean, Miss Xiaolu, but we can't. More than thirty people all live in the deserted hotel, not to mention that there are not enough rooms there. Even if there are, we still need ten cheap three-person rooms. Each room costs more than a hundred gold coins a day, which is a week. Eight or nine thousand is really too expensive, and if you continue to stay outside like this...since the other party can succeed the first time without anyone noticing, it is possible that he can succeed again, which would be too dangerous."
"Uh..."
Lujiang blinked and puckered his cheeks: "That seems to be the truth."
Ji Xiaoge flapped his wings twice and asked curiously: "Why are you looking for us? ?”
“On the one hand, you are very powerful. The team is already considered to be of relatively high standard. On the other hand, I think we will get along better. After all, although we Highlanders are an intelligent race, many people still think that we are primitive and barbaric. Of course, this kind of There are fewer and fewer misunderstandings, but now that we have known each other Everyone, I don’t want to pick anyone else anymore.”
Largo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: “There is also a very important point, there are not many druids in this place. Even if there is, I am afraid that the level of our hands may not be able to catch up with our self-healing ability, like the little deer girl There are too few excellent druids who can help us stabilize our physical condition. If I can take you with me on the road, I will feel more at ease."
Lu Jiang immediately scratched his hair shyly, feeling silly and happy. Voice: "Hey, actually I'm not that powerful..."
"Sorry, Captain Largo."
After pondering briefly, as the soul and captain of the Wangwang team, Mo Tan smiled apologetically at the strong man in front of him: "This is not something that can be discussed immediately. , can you give us some time?”
“No problem, anyway, in Miss Xiaolu’s words, it will take at least an hour or two before everyone can return to a state where they can barely rush, so no matter how anxious we are, , we can’t set off until noon at the earliest.”
Largo smiled, then stood up and pointed to the shallow forest not far away: “Then I’ll go over there first to solve it... ...If you want to discuss it, you can go to the open space to the east of the camp. Our pack animals and supplies are there."
After that, the leader with a very heroic temperament limped along like this. The ground left. In view of the fact that he had been holding it in for too long, even with Largo's physical fitness, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. In less than half a minute, he rushed into the woods and lost sight of anyone.
All the members of the Wangwang team walked to the east of the camp calmly, preparing to have a little discussion...
"No need to discuss, I agree."
Jadeka suddenly waved his hand and hit. Mo Tan, who was about to preside over the discussion, said with a smile: "Like you, I also have a good impression of this group of people, and I am equally grateful to them for saving the little pigeon and the little deer before. Don't worry about me, since it's time to go home. I have already made this plan, when can I go back?"
"Okay, that's it."
Ji Xiaoge smiled and said, "Then let's go back quickly... …”
"Wait a minute."
"Huh? What's the matter, Mo, what do you want to say? Isn't it objection?"
"How come, since Lao Jia has no objection, of course I I support this decision, but..."
"Just what?"
"I'm going to do something else, you go first"
"Huh?"
"Well, I will catch up with you later."
