Chapter 32 Meeting
"We are from the mercenary group, and we are here for missions. Who are you?" A tall figure in the team signaled the people around us to keep a certain distance from the other party, and replied loudly to the other party's inquiry, hoping to get the other party's clear identity. After they discovered this relatively large camp in the distance, they sent the stalkers in the team to find out a little closer. After using the firelight to determine that the other party was an army, they rushed over with confidence, but it is still necessary to confirm it now.
"Tell them our identity and ask them to send a team member to bring a document that they can prove their identity. We need to check it out." After thinking for a while, the captain issued a new order.
"The adventurers opposite, we are the garrison in the town ahead, we are on missions. You ask one person to come with documents that can prove your identity. Otherwise, we will determine that you are robbers and will give you the most severe blow." After the loud voice of the soldier poked his head and quickly shrank his head back. He was afraid that the other party's sudden attack would open a hole in the unsolid head. In that case, even if he wanted his companions to carry him, it would not be possible.
After a while of low conversation, the strange team that suddenly arrived finally sent someone to come slowly with documents that could prove their identity.
Shaoko halfway down and hid behind the tower. He saw a relatively short and thin figure slowly leaning over with a torch. The woman, just after she determined that the other party was a woman, the soldiers on her side started to whisper, Woman! I haven't seen a woman for more than a month, and the riots of the soldiers quickly reached the woman holding the torch, which made her feel very frightened and almost turned around and ran away. Fortunately, the captain walked out of the cover in time, stood at the fire beside her, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, I was surprised, I didn't expect it to be a woman. Don't worry! I think you can see my military uniform at this distance."
The woman felt relieved. She quickly walked for half a distance of 50 to 60 meters. After touching the warning array arranged by Shaoko and the others, everyone realized with the other party's torches that the team was really a woman, holding a long scroll in her hand. It seemed that they were proof.
The captain did not let the other party get too close, so he asked the loud-sounding soldier to take over the other party's documents. Although he was unwilling, who let the captain see his cowardly performance just now! In order to punish him, he was asked to do this more dangerous job.
The other party did not act dangerously. After successfully taking the scroll, Shaoke moved to a fire near the tent and carefully identified the authenticity of the documents. The scroll clearly records the name, badge, leaders, members, tasks that have been taken, and tasks that need to be completed now. Such records are very detailed. Each member, after the task, there are unique seals of various local mercenary unions to prove it.
After Shaoke carefully identified these seals, he chanted a spell and released the zero-level spell of "Discribing Technique" on the scroll. A faint seal of the Mercenary Union slowly floated on the scroll. This is the general seal of all the mercenary unions of the Blue Feather Empire. It was drawn with special magic. It is said that even those mages at the level of magic gods have not successfully cracked this spell. As for whether the legendary ranks have done this, they have not heard of it.
After being confirmed by Shaoko, the captain rolled the scroll and gave it to the female deliveryman himself. Based on his respect for the woman, the captain apologized for the shock just now.
Both nervous sides suddenly relaxed, and the soldiers walked out of the cover. If the soldiers were ready to move, they would probably have surrounded the woman who appeared in the morning without the suppression of the captain.
After the strange team received the captain's approval, they also approached the camp. There were 36 people in the entire team, including four female members. The captain welcomed them very happily and invited them to have dinner together.
When the members of the mercenary team found that there were three mages in this camp, they understood the mission of the army, because they often performed tasks in this area, and they were quite clear about the mages coming here to try in disguise. After all, this habit has been ongoing for nearly 200,000 years.
After observing the mercenary team silently for a while, a question arose. It turned out that the task they needed to do now was to obtain ten perfect snow tiger skins, and there were only more than 30 people in this team, and seeing that they did not carry many long-range weapons, Shaoke was a little puzzled.
"Captain Kano! How do you hunt those snow tigers? After all, they are second-level monsters. You have less long-range weapons!" Shaoke asked the other party about the reason for doing this. He hoped to get some special hunting methods from them, which may allow the soldiers to reduce some casualties when facing second-level monsters in the future.
"Dear Master! I am a first-level warrior, and there are two first-level warriors in the team, which is enough for us to deal with second-level monsters." The captain of the mercenary team quickly replied to Shaoke's question.
The soldiers around, including the captain, all showed envious eyes. None of them could inspire fighting spirit. Although there were training methods in the army, they were too low-level, which made it even more difficult for soldiers who were originally difficult to inspire fighting spirit. Moreover, even soldiers who inspire fighting spirit would be quickly transferred by the military headquarters and transferred to a higher-level army.
After staying for a while, Shaoko said goodbye and returned to his tent after receiving the toasts from all the mercenaries. Now he has lived separately from Master Iga, Master Kiya and the others because he does not want to see Master Kiya's quick face-changing.
Shaoke did not expect that after returning to the camp, Master Yijia greeted him. Facing Shaoke's questions, Master Yijia said the reason unnaturally: "Master Xueye, I think we should not be hostile because of some small things. We are companions now. You have helped us a lot, but Master Kiya and I complained about you. This is really something that should not happen. I hope you don't mind these things." After Master Yijia finished speaking in one breath, his rapid breathing made Shaoke feel a little impatient.
Shaoke thought that their slightly hostile relationship would last until they left. Unexpectedly, Master Yijia came over to apologize for Master Kiya again, which made Shaoke feel very puzzled: "Master Yijia, are you very familiar with Master Kiya? Are you friends? Why does his mistake need to be explained by you."
"Master Snow Night, Master Kia is young after all, and he is too impatient. I believe that after these five years of training, he will be as mature as you." Master Yijia raised his head slightly, stared at the candle on the desk, and made a sound softly.
"Master Yijia, you are from a noble family!" Shaoke's sudden topic made Master Yijia stunned for a minute.
"Yes, Master Xueye, how did you know?" Master Yijia, who had a red face, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide my identity, after all..."
"It's nothing, Master Yijia, since you are from a noble family, why are you still coming to such a deserted place? I believe that there are mages to train, and your magic skills will improve faster." Shaoke asked in confusion. Could it be a princess of the Qiao family? Well! It seems that this person is a man, and he has never heard of a spell that can change his appearance for such a long time!
Master Yijia lowered his head without saying a word, suddenly raised his head, which had already flushed off. After staring at Shaoko for a while, he showed an elegance that had never appeared before. This was an elegance that would not appear on Master Shaoko and Jiya. Then he said goodbye and left here softly, but when he left, he somehow must have the courage to say: "Master Xueye, you are about to be promoted! If not, you should not be stingy with those drops of empty stone liquid! Master Xueye, I believe you also know that unless you become a ninth-level mage, it is very difficult or even impossible for you to make further magic with the monthly subsidy of this military headquarters or the mage trade union. If you have the chance to meet you again, I hope you can come to my family to help me."
The departure of Master Yijia made Shaoke a little confused, mainly because the last words he said just now were the reasons why Shaoke was confused; Yes! As long as he officially became a magician, the first problem he faced was money, the purchase of auxiliary drugs, the transcription of spells, and the use of magic props, which did not require a lot of money? If there was no large amount of money, even the lowest level auxiliary drugs could not be purchased, the speed of cultivation could be imagined, and the gap with others would become larger and larger, and the result was: being suppressed at the bottom of the magician and struggling.
Because of the reasons mentioned above, Shaoke cherishes the empty stone liquid in his hand very much. After being promoted to a formal magician, he must add some plant essence to the empty stone liquid to increase the time of use of these drugs in disguise. Although this will reduce the effect, it will not be much worse than the total amount before dilution.
Shaoke thought for a while and decided to aim for promotion now. As for the future, I will slowly talk about whether there must be a road in front of the Tailang Mountain? I can't say that by then, I can get more items for cultivation with my own abilities.
After obtaining the consent of the captain, the mercenaries who had joined the camp set up their own camp next to Shaoko and their camp. Their camp was relatively simple. More than a dozen people were crowded in one tent. Only the few soldiers with fighting spirit hugged the women into another tent. This made the soldiers who were still active outside envious. They had not seen women for a long time. Although they met temporarily this time, although they were not so beautiful, they were considered to be overwhelming, but were occupied by the soldiers with fighting spirit. Some soldiers even suggested that the captains that if they wanted to set up tents here, they must treat these women as protection costs. After this proposal was rejected by the captain who respected women, the camp slowly calmed down.
