Chapter 2375 Interlude·Preparation
Game time PM13:39
Eastern part of Savage Highlands, [Loya] tribe, leader’s house
“So…”< br>
Largo looked at Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan with some surprise, and said in astonishment: "Can you find a mysterious and powerful person who is willing to explore the ancient ruins with us?"
Mo Tan nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, and as a foreign aid of the 'Wang Wang Team', there is no need to provide additional commissions. The only problem is that our friend is a little far away from here. , if you come here, it will take about three to five days."
Largo frowned and waved his hand: "Brother Mo, although we are friends, you must understand something. , in the 'commission' aspect of hiring you, you are only eligible to have a say when we [Loya] unilaterally reduce the remuneration. Other than that, how to pay the remuneration is completely up to me as the task client. "
Next to me, Ji Xiaoge was stunned and blinked her beautiful almond eyes: "Huh?"
"Brother Largo, you are... ...Sigh."
Mo Tan, who immediately realized what the other party meant, smiled bitterly and tried to argue with arguments, but he sighed helplessly under Largo's firm gaze after only half a sentence. Said: "If you give more, the premium will really be too much."
Largo waved his hand and said sternly: "This is not a question of whether to pay a premium or not. Our [Destruction King] can be regarded as a well-known mercenary group in the northwest. No matter how much I, the leader, It’s useless, but I still know how to give commissions. To be honest, Brother Mo and Sister Yege, if the situation wasn’t so urgent this time, I wouldn’t let you if I could find another suitable team. Let’s go on an adventure together in the ancient ruins.”
“Ah! You really don’t need to pay more!”
After realizing it, Ji Xiaoge immediately raised his wings. He said seriously: "Brother Largo, don't forget, this is what we originally had to eat. Now that we can receive tasks and help you, it's a win-win situation. The more you give us, the better." I’ll be embarrassed!”
“I am the one who should be embarrassed, because I have been involved with the Archaeologists Association since I was a child. Although I have never explored large-scale ancient ruins before, I am very aware of this kind of thing. The danger level of things is ridiculously high. To put it bluntly, even an epic like me may not be able to get a bargain in the worst case scenario, let alone you guys..."
Largo took a sip. He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth and said, "If it turns out it's better to forget it, I'll find a solution for Peixi. You'd better not get involved in such a dangerous thing. Otherwise, I'll be really sorry if something happens to you."< br>
Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge looked at each other and smiled. Just as they were about to appease the contradictory elder brother in front of them who was responsible, ambitious, responsible and loyal, they heard an unfamiliar female voice coming from the door——
“There is no better way, such as If you insist on not letting the 'Wang Wang Adventurer Team' get involved, then my suggestion is - let's not go either, huddle here together and wait for the ancient ruins to lose its mystery, and by the way, try our best to bring the members of the tribe to the rescue before then. people moved away."
Paixi, who still looked like the scholar before, walked into the room slowly, and asked the confused Largo calmly: "What do you think?"
"I I didn’t want you to go from the beginning. You are a scholar. It’s not suitable to frequently enter dangerous places like those armed archaeologists in the association.”
Largo looked up at his childhood sweetheart and said seriously: “So I think it’s still me...”< br>
"Are you going by yourself?"
Pexy interrupted him with a sneer, raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said quickly: "How many documents from 7000 years ago have you read? Have you analyzed them? How many research reports have been published on the fourth type of offset ancient ruins? How many groups of ancient engineering devices have you dismantled whose theoretical technical capabilities are far beyond the current average level? How many secret word sequences can you identify for the Sun Dynasty, the Cang Yue Empire, the Federation of Thorns, and the Talirith Co-Prosperity Sphere? If you don’t take me, a professional, in there by yourself, if you want to commit suicide in a more novel way, you can try another one. A novelty-hunting technique."
Largo: "..."
"As for the little Wangwang adventurer. Everyone on the team, both in terms of their individual strength and the level of trust they have with us, are even more reliable than the young people you brought back when more manpower or combat power is needed to solve the problem.”
Pexi walked to the table, picked up Largo's cup and took a sip of water, and continued: "And as they say, adventurers are By relying on this kind of business to earn a living, they can provide you with help that is far beyond their adventurer level, and you can also provide them with equally far superior rewards. Or, it is the same adventure, and you would rather they go and do it for strangers. People take risks, but you don’t want them to take risks for your friend’s tribe? Why, can’t you believe it?”
"How is that possible!"
Largo waved his hands and said hurriedly: "How could I not believe Brother Mo and the others? It's just that this time it is too hasty and dangerous, I am not sure..."
“Are you not sure you can protect them?”
Pech glanced at Largo and said calmly: “If that’s the case If you can protect them, the Wangwang adventurer team will not go to 'explore' but to 'sightseeing' this time. It will still be a luxurious sightseeing with a powerful bodyguard like you. In this way, it should be They should pay you as a bodyguard.”
Largo: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Haha!"
Seeing Pexi knocking the somewhat stubborn Largo speechless with just a few words, Ji Xiaoge burst out laughing and happily greeted the stunned [Destruction King] The group leader and spokesperson of the 'Loya' tribe asked: "So that's it. Brother Largo, how much protection fee do you plan to charge us?"
"Pretend that I didn't say it. I didn’t say anything.”
At this point, Largo, who knew that with Pexi here, he would have no chance of winning in terms of ‘reasoning’, raised his hands and surrendered, and said in a dumbfounded voice: “Then I’ll trouble you this time. Yes, but let’s talk about it, I still have the final say in terms of remuneration, okay?”
“Okay, let’s listen to you, Brother Largo.”
Mo Tan smiled at Largo after Ji Xiaoge looked over, and then added: "But I have to make it clear in advance, if the 'reward' premium this time is too high, we will subconsciously feel that we owe you a favor. Yes, you [Destruction King] have been famous in the mercenary field for many years, so you should be very aware of the weight of such a heavy favor, right?"
Just about to nod, he was about to raise the price for Mo Tan. this time Largo was at a loss for words when he asked for a discount of twenty or so on the commission. He held it in for a long time before he finally said: "You guys are cruel."
Mo Tan: (`)
Ji Xiaoge: (ω)
"Well, now that the matter has been decided, you might as well ask that friend from another world to go directly to the Mage Guild to teleport to the Warband Daragabu or the Shangband Meladi Yaba.”
Largomo rubbed his chin and said sternly to Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge: "Those two places are not far from us. It is much easier to use the high-level teleportation of the Mage Guild than to rush here. Of course, the cost It’s coming from [The King of Destruction], so that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge looked at each other, not sure if this was a problem. After all, in terms of timeliness, Largo's proposal did make sense, but they also knew that the Mages Guild's teleportation business charging standards were extremely high. Incomparable, and the advanced transmission service with higher comfort is even more expensive.
It would be fine if Largo really made this suggestion because he was in a hurry, but if it was just to save Gu Xiaole from the so-called exposure for a few days, such a large amount of money would indeed be a waste.
So, the two people who were a little undecided looked at each other and then turned to look at Peixi, hoping to seek the young lady's opinion.
“No need.”
The latter also gave the answer without hesitation, saying calmly: "Although the threat of that ancient ruins will become greater and greater over time, it is far from the level that must be dealt with immediately, otherwise I would not I haven’t contacted you until now, but I plan to wait for [Destruction King] ] I only said it when I came back to deliver food. In three to five days, as long as nothing happens, there will be no problem there." So, Largo, who knew that he could never defeat Pexi, could only sigh helplessly. , said seriously to Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge: "Please You two express my gratitude to your friend on my behalf."
"Don't worry."
Ji Xiaoge smiled and said happily: "To tell you the truth, my friend is... ...Well, the majors we have there are not as interesting as Sister Peixi’s. Not much, otherwise I wouldn’t think of her right away!”
Pei Xi nodded slightly and smiled lightly at Ji Xiaoge: “I hope we can chat.”
"Yeah, let's make an agreement then!"
Ji Xiaoge clapped his hands and said seriously: "After our friends arrive, we will set out to investigate the somewhat impure ancient ruins. It would be best if they are safe and harmless. If there are hidden dangers inside that could threaten Luo Ya , let’s find a way to deal with it!”
“If we find any hidden dangers inside! If you can't deal with it, remember to follow my instructions and retreat immediately. Don't show off."
Pei Xi looked at Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan seriously and said seriously: "Our Archaeologists Association and many neutral organizations. There are agreements. If some high-risk areas are really explored, then as long as the information including but not limited to intelligence With the cooperation of exchange, we can find more professional people to handle it. If we encounter a situation of particularly high value and danger, there may even be a legend to assist us.”
Mo Tan followed the idea closely. He understood and said: "So, our task is not so much to solve the problem, let alone For example, if it is a comprehensive exploration situation and risk assessment, after all, even the Archaeologists Association cannot ask the collaborators to mobilize and send people based on just a few reports. But if there is substantive information, then follow-up questions will be fine Dealt with it.”
“That’s right.”
Pei Xi glanced at Mo Tan approvingly and nodded: "That's probably the truth. Although this does not mean that we should relax our vigilance, if there is really a big problem, as long as there is even a little benefit to be gained, this matter In fact, I am not afraid that no one will deal with the aftermath. Not only will there be no problems on Loya's side, but they may even get some benefits from it."
The two members of the Wangwang team did not say anything, because they knew very well that Pexi would end up with it. These words were addressed to Largo at all.
The latter commented on this with a carefree smile, shrugged and said: "As long as the matter can be resolved smoothly, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, we Luoya actually don't care."
"Yes. Ah, so you have never considered taking the opportunity to connect with organizations other than those with vested interests in Savage Highlands under ideal circumstances to check and balance possible suppression in the future, right?"
Pei? Xi covered her forehead and shook her head in a tired tone: "Forget it, if there is a chance, I will find a way to do more. In short, let's settle the matter for now. I'll go back and you guys can talk. ”
Largo was immediately stunned and said in astonishment: "You... are going back now?"
"Well, I came here this time to advise you not to be too impulsive. Now that I have finished speaking, Of course I have to go back to work."
Pella glanced at her childhood sweetheart and said angrily: "You don't think I'm going to go on an outing with you, do you? The piles are as high as a mountain. If we don’t hurry up, I’m afraid we won’t know what we are facing until we walk in.”
After that, she ignored Largo and said separately. Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge nodded and left quickly.
Two minutes later——
"Ahem."
The winged beautiful girl cleared her throat somewhat deliberately, awakening Largo who was in a state of "seeing things through", and said from the heart: "I have to say, Sister Pexi I’m so kind to you, Brother Largo.”
“Yes, we have been friends since childhood.”
Largo touched the tip of his nose and said. In the girl's teasing eyes, she smiled bitterly and said: "And you can also see that she has always regarded me as a big fool, so...well, that's good."
"That's good?" ”
Ji Xiaoge narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, obviously not wanting to let Largo go just like this.
However, the latter resolutely changed the subject this time and said seriously: "By the way, since we still have to wait for your friends, it will take two or three days at the earliest before we can leave. So if Brother Mo, you If you don’t mind, let’s discuss each other more in the past two days.”
Hearing this, Mo Tan burst into laughter and said happily: “Are we talking about each other, or are you guiding me?”
"If you insist, I should be the one to guide you."
Largo also laughed and said with interest: "But this is not just to help you, I am here I’m also really curious about how much you have grown in the past few days.”
"Okay, then I won't be polite. To be honest, I actually want to find an opportunity to verify my results in the past few days."
"Then let's find a place now. Making gestures?"
"Uh, what do you think, Yege?"
"Pfft, you still need to ask for my opinion?"
"Not really... ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm watching from the side and you're accompanying me. Then I'll tell Lao Jia and the others first! I'll find you later!"
"Okay."
