145 Quotes and Domestication
In the tavern.
No matter how the mercenaries slapped the table and raised their voices, the strong magician girl behind the bar just silently lowered her head and adjusted the wine. The quiet one-armed girl bartender turned into a strange scenery in the noisy mercenary tavern.
However, the sales of beer have increased significantly recently! It is obviously Laura's credit, and Heimlet is already planning to restock.
On a table next to the bar, the yellow-haired Jeff sat down and complained to Daren: "Oh, Daren, look like this, are you back and planning to be a mercenary? Let me tell you, the recent market... is really hard to describe! Nowadays, it is difficult to be a mercenary..."
"What's wrong?" said Darenchi.
He just now vaguely heard someone around him discussing the market, and seemed to be mixed with a lot of complaints.
"I wouldn't have learned [So much transformation], [Running] isn't it good?" Jeff cried, "You don't know, now I'm taking on hiring tasks, nine out of ten times are dealing with 'trolls'! Mercenaries have always been flesh shields, but the pure strength of the trolls is close to the mutant demon species. Even if there is a shield, we can't bear it a few times..."
"In the wild now, the chance of encountering trolls is much higher than that of ordinary lost heart monsters."
"I heard that several mercenary brothers have died because they were forced by their employers to fight against the trolls! Now everyone is in danger and has a negative spirit. If the commission level had not increased several times, I wouldn't even want to do it... The goddess is here, I really want to learn the [Running] skill as soon as possible! Don't fight against the trolls, just walk the trolls around and you can complete the task. It's so much easier..."
Jeff sighed there.
"Laura, a glass of ordinary ginger beer." Delan stood up and signaled, took a cup of turbid beer from the one-armed girl, and handed over 5 copper cloths at the same time. Laura did not show any special performance throughout the whole process. She nodded slightly and treated Delan as if she was entertaining any ordinary guest.
"I'll treat you." Daren patted Jeff's shoulder and sat down again, "If you really can't hold on, just stop for a while. It's not too late to consider taking on the task after the troll's disaster is over..."
"Thank you...but that's not possible." Jeff took the big wooden cup, drank half a cup in one breath, and then slapped on the table with a sad expression, "You know, I came from the village of Charles, and my wife and eight-year-old daughter are also from Charles! Now in this world, I don't feel at ease that they will continue to live in the village, so they have brought them to Belita... Unfortunately, the rent for a smallest stone house in Belita is not cheap now. If they can't continue to pay the rent, they can only sleep on the street!"
"The mother and the mother are determined not to. If that is the case, they would rather go back to Shaer Village, because the village also has a wall..."
"Just, they have never seen trolls! In front of trolls, what can the short earth wall in Charles Village be used for?" Jeff smiled bitterly, "So I can only continue to take on tasks and make money with my life. Fortunately, the commission level has increased a lot now. I take a mercenary mission every day, and I can almost afford the rent..."
"Uh...why let's take on the mission together." Daren suddenly said, "I run fast, with me here, you don't need to fight it when you meet a troll..."
"Why did I forget this?" Jeff's eyes lit up, "Yes, the last time he met the mountain savage troll with Lord Vincent, did you lead it away..."
But he soon became angry again: "However, it depends on who the employer is! You know, in order to hunt trolls faster and receive more bounties, some employers ordered the mercenaries to collectively risk their lives to surround the trolls! Those magicians or archers standing in a stance attack are more efficient than running and fighting..."
"Isn't the life of a mercenary life? How can this be done!" Daren frowned deeply.
"Don't, I beg you, don't throw a tantrum again..." Jeff was so scared that he waved his hand repeatedly, "If you want to be a mercenary, you have to accept this situation. Don't suddenly disobey the employer's orders like last time. Maybe you will lose the commission for everyone who is burdened with... If that's the case, I would rather take on the task by myself. Please..."
Daren was stunned and stared at Jeff with some angriness, but opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to him...
Just then.
"Your name is Jeff? Why don't I hire you? I won't take the lives of mercenaries seriously. It doesn't matter how fast or slow it is. I just want to kill monsters." A voice suddenly rang.
Jeff turned his head in shock.
I found out that the girl who was talking was the always taciturn magician bartender girl at the bar.
He was stunned for a moment before gradually showing a look of surprise: "Are you planning to go out to hunt monsters?"
After all, this bartender is considered a familiar face! Of course, it is more reassuring than other employers... But if she hadn't mentioned it on her own initiative, Jeff felt that she would have forgotten that she was also a magician.
Daren looked over in surprise.
"The wine has been selling well recently, and Hemlet has given me a lot of commissions." Laura looked at Deren's gaze and shrugged, "My purpose here is to save money and hire people...I have money now."

In a stone house north of Bailita.
At this moment, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and a giant axe was even pressed against the door behind it.
The deputy captain of a kitchen knife team, the junior soldier, Lord Quincy, did not go to hunt together today, but instead avoided being uncomfortable and stayed at his home... But in fact, he was racking his brains to tame a little thing at this moment!
“Ku~~~~~ Card!”
On the wooden table, in a small solid metal cage with a thick fence, the brown squirrel stood upright, with his claws on his hips, his cheeks bulged, and he stared at the human outside the cage angrily, and ignored the scented pine nuts placed at his feet.
"Is it right for cool cards... I know you can understand people's words." Quincy sat helplessly at the table, peeled a pine nut and put it on his little fingertips and sent it in. "What's the good thing about that boy Delan? As long as you promise to be my pet, I will give you the best food every day, bathe you with hair, and find you a lot of beautiful female squirrels..."
Cool Ka shook his head angry.
"Why not? He has no future, he is just a fool who likes to use shields. He may not be able to escape from the trainee warriors in his life, but I am different... The guild rewarded 200 Jintata for the first time because of my intelligence, and the second time he actually said that there was a major progress and gave me a full 600 Jintata! Oh my God, plus my savings, it is not far from 1,000 Jintata! Listen, this is the sound of Jintata, how wonderful!"
"I thought my life was the limit of a junior warrior. Those unrealistic dreams when I was a child would never have a chance to realize them. I didn't expect that God would give me such an opportunity... Cool Card, listen, as long as you are willing to help me, we will kill a wave of trolls before the itchy potion is developed, and I will save up 1,000 golden towers! At that time, I will be able to buy a dragon blood bath!"
"It will give me the body and vitality of a dragon, and I will become a warrior genius that has happened once in a century! I will practice unimpededly to advanced professions, and even get a title in a big city... At that time, you can follow me to have fun and drink!"
"Obe obedient, eat the pine nuts..."
"Kuka!"
The little thing still shook his head hard, pointed at himself, and then knocked on the metal fence in front of him, raising his head and stalking his neck, as if saying, "Let me out quickly!"
"That's not OK. You don't even eat pine nuts. If you let you out, you will definitely run away." Quincy sighed, put down the pine nut, and at the same time put a small bowl of water next to the cage. "I'm going to sleep. When will you change your mind, just eat and drink... Then I can feel at ease to let you out."
After saying that, Quincy shook his head and left and went to another room.
