Novel Bin Chapter 500: argument
A mercenary group of the level of the snake of Yevelk had their own base in most of the mercenary guilds in most cities.
“Leader.”
A servant who specialized in taking care of the group’s miscellaneous items in the base immediately went forward to welcome Reyerk back.
“Bring me that employment contract.”Reyerk walked into the inner room of the base and gave an order to the servant.
There were only five people in the mercenary group who followed Reyerk into the room. These five people could be said to be the pillars of the snake of Yevilk.
The servant took out an old goatskin scroll from an iron box that was sealed by magic. Reyerk took the scroll and opened it. He was deep in thought as he browsed through the contents.
“Leader, are we scouting the enemy this time?”
A mage in a black robe among the five looked at the contents of the sheepskin scroll and asked Reyerk in a hoarse voice.
“I don’t know.”
Reyerk carefully read through the various clauses on the sheepskin scroll and finally gave this answer.
This was a contract of employment.
It did not come from the Mercenary Guild’s contract of employment, but was a contract made in private.
The purpose of this kind of contract was usually to hire them to do some shady things, but the reward was far more generous than the missions that the mercenary guild received.
“The leader must be thinking about a plan! After all, as long as we kill that shop owner, the reward will be more than our entire year’s worth of missions combined.”
The archer who was always in a noisy state was also one of the pillars of the Jefferk snake, and he seemed to be in a state of eagerness to give it a try.
“I object. That guy is not someone we can deal with.”
A cold voice interrupted the enthusiasm of the archer, and everyone’s gaze turned to a swordsman who was leaning against the door.
“Isn’t it a chaos demon? Morris, are you afraid of fighting with your own kind?”
The archer put his hand on the shoulder of the swordsman with a cold face, but before the archer could say anything else, a long sword was already pressed against his neck.
“I admit that the ability of the chaos demon to render magic ineffective is indeed quite troublesome, but that shopkeeper doesn’t seem to be able to fight like you. He probably doesn’t even know how to swing his sword, am I right? Morris raised his hands in surrender.
Gray magic was wrapped around the blade of the swordsman’s sword. This was the most obvious symbol of the Chaos Fiend.
“Is that so? I don’t know how to use a sword either, but I can still easily kill you.”
The Hand of the Chaos Fiend named Morris that was holding the blade of the sword trembled slightly. The blade of the sword cut off the two arrows that were suspended behind the archer in an indiscernible trajectory.
“The strength of the Chaos Fiend is not only in their magic power, but also in their bodies and reactions, which are the most pure and superior to humans.”He glanced at the hands of the archer that were raised up high and said, “The movements you dodged and counterattacked just now were as slow as a child in my eyes. Do you think that your swordsmanship has any meaning no matter how exquisite it is?”
“Morris, that’s enough.”Reyerk reminded the two of them before they stopped confronting each other.
“The trickiest thing is that that guy is not an ordinary chaos demon.”The swordsman sheathed the sword in his hand and said, “He has the surname of Yanorod, Joshua Yanorod. He is the absolute ruler of the chaos demons. Even if he does not know swordsmanship, he can crush your skull with one hand.”
“The abilities of the target individuals are the most important.”
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses beside Reyerk interrupted their conversation.
“He has a very close relationship with the Seven Sages of Nolan. The gray-robed man has sent an owl to monitor him, or rather… to protect him in the dark. The possibility of us dealing with him in the dark in Nolan city is basically zero.”
“Then, do you want to give up this task so easily? I Won’t mention the deposit provided by the employer. The alchemy drugs he gave us can indeed cure the effects of the gray fog, right?”
The archer slammed his hands on the table in anger and looked at Reyk at the same time.
Reyk, however, fell into a long silence.
The snake of Yevelk was indeed the strongest mercenary group in the world, but a year ago, they had a near-destructive accident..
When they were exploring a mysterious ruin in the underground of the frost country, they encountered a group of monsters that they had never seen before.
These monsters were different from the ghosts and Banshees, but the abilities they possessed had caused great mental damage to Reyek’s members.
At that time, there were 22 members who were affected by the monsters. Although Reyek commanded his mercenary group to retreat in one piece, half of these 22 members lost their minds halfway through, they became extremely violent monsters.
The remaining half of the members also suffered from various terrifying hallucinations all year round.
For the first half of the year, Reyek had been visiting all over the world looking for a cure for this strange disease. However, he discovered that other than during the camping period, he and the other league members would get drunk and dance like idiots and sing a song or two, making the traumatized members laugh so that they could escape the hallucinations of fear for a while.
He lost another six members during the six months, but fortunately Reyerk came to Nolan… where he heard the voice of an elf.
The Elf’s voice temporarily eased the symptoms of the members, so that they could live like normal people.
Reyerk looked up from his memories and found that the remaining five pillars of the snake of Yevelk had started to argue.
“If we fail this mission, the price we have to pay is not that simple!”
“It’s enough to lure the target out of the city. At most, we don’t need to come to Nolan after the mission is completed!”
Reyerk quietly listened to the quarrel between them. He took out the two music scores that Joshua gave him before he left from his armor.
“You are focusing on the wrong place.”Reyerk interrupted their quarrel, his gaze swept across everyone present. “If we complete the mission and eliminate the target, the magic net will completely disappear from this world. At the same time, Miss Tyreen’s new song may never be heard in this lifetime!”
At this moment, the five members who had been quarreling immediately fell into silence. The entire room was enveloped by a strange atmosphere. The five of them looked at each other, not knowing how to refute.
Reyerk, who was silent in front of outsiders, at this moment, used a sentence to poke the most apprehensive part in everyone’s heart.
