501 Decline
Looking at Hall's firm eyes, Sawyer understood that if he didn't prove himself today, this fanatical uncle would not let him go.
He took the bow and arrow helplessly. Sawyer first pulled the bow string and tried it, then shot two arrows not far away. Then he nodded and asked, "How to prove it?"
In fact, looking at Sawyer's series of actions, Hall's disdain and suspicion for Sawyer had disappeared a little, and his tone became softer. He pointed to a fruit tree not far away: "Just shoot the yellow honey fruit at the bottom."
The fruit tree is only more than twenty meters away from Sawyer, but the yellow honey fruit at the bottom is not yet mature, which is the size of a baby's fist, and is still swaying irregularly in the wind. It is much more difficult to shoot this yellow honey fruit in the wind than to shoot a frisbee or something.
"oh."
But Saoya didn't care, nodded, grabbed an arrow in his fingers, and did not aim. He raised his bow and shot. An arrow suddenly cut through the air and nailed it to the fruit tree with a thud. On the arrow shaft, an immature yellow honey fruit was gradually sliding downwards.
"Oh, Sawyer, the archery technique is good! Compare with Uncle Hall!"
Gregory screamed strangely and woke up Hall next to him.
After hearing Gregory's words, Hall's face was burning. Although he wanted to make things difficult for Sawyer, he himself understood that if he was asked to ejaculate himself, he could still shoot the yellow honey fruit, but it would take at least one or two seconds to judge the wind and predict the direction of the yellow honey fruit afterwards. He would definitely not be as easy as Sawyer's freehand painting.
"Although I'm not very proficient, it should still be OK, right?"
Sawyer smiled at Gregory and asked Hall with a modesty look on his face, instantly making Hall blush. After a few grunts, he turned around and left without even receiving the bow and arrow.
"Hey? Senior, don't leave! Is it because my archery skills are not qualified?"
Sawyer raised his eyebrows and shouted a few more times, but Hall walked faster. Sawyer then snorted proudly, "Make it difficult for me?"
Now the good girl Greta has become his "sister", so he naturally has to work hard to be a good man who never holds grudges. Well, let's start from now on!
"Hey, Sawyer, Uncle Hall is that way, don't take it to heart. Although Uncle is a bit old-fashioned, he is still very good."
Gregory came over to persuade him, and Sawyer smiled and waved his hand, reassuring him: "How could it be? It's just a trivial matter. I'm not a vengeful person."
"laugh--"
Corey next to him couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly covered his mouth, as if he had done something wrong, and the other people also had similar expressions. Yes, you don't hold grudges. The person who holds grudges now should be Uncle Hall, right?
But speaking of this, except for Cory, the spell caster, the others have been "tested" by Hall. Now that they have seen Hall suffer, they all feel relieved. The senses of Sawyer have instantly improved a lot, allowing Sawyer to integrate into this small group smoothly.
Not long after, Hall also came back, carrying another short bow on his back, but it was the old one Gregory mentioned before.
Soya was a little embarrassed now. He thought he was making Hall angry, but he didn't expect that he would go home to get his equipment.
"this……"
Sawyer wanted to return the bow and arrow in his hand to Hall, but was rejected: "Your archery is much better than mine. You can use this to wield stronger strength. This is enough for me to have this one."
“Okay.”
Sawyer looked at Hall seriously and did not refuse. At worst, he could take care of these "teammates" more after entering the gray fog.
However, receiving the task does not mean that you can leave the city and enter the gray fog to complete the task. Before performing the task, you must purchase materials for the received task.
Fresh food and water are naturally essential, and the fire used by the mercenary team also needs to be recharged. In addition, some special medicines are also needed.
Following Gregory around the mercenary market on the Seventh Ring, Sawyer felt an eye-opening feeling. In this world, many things were never seen before, such as various casting materials used by the caster, powders, potions for dispersing or attracting a certain kind of strange beast, and some things that cannot be guessed by looking at the appearance.
Especially when Cory bought spell casting materials, if he hadn't had a black coin in his hand, Sawyer might have bought some.
This is also one of the reasons for limiting the number of spellcasters. After all, except for the healers in the ring city, other spellcasters need to release spells in the gray fog, but the violent energy in the gray fog will affect the construction of the spell model. Therefore, after years of research, the casting methods of most spells have been transformed into methods that rely on materials to cast spells.
However, although this method of casting is a bit more complicated, and in addition to some money, it has a blessing effect on the casting spells. The higher the degree of fit between the casting materials and spells, the greater the power of the spell.
Of course, for ordinary spell casters like Corey, they use the lowest level general materials when casting spells, and almost all spells can be cast through this material, but this power is... Anyway, according to Corey, the spells he casts with spell casting materials in the gray fog are even slightly weaker than those of bare hands.
"It would be nice to be able to release spells. After all, there are only three black coins in this material."
Gregory surrounded Corey's shoulder and explained with a smile. Corey also nodded with a red face. After all, they were just the lowest-level mercenary team. After one mission, after all, the number of black coins can be earned in the end.
"If I say so, if I finally get ten black coins, wouldn't I have taken too many?"
When Sawyer heard Gregory and he flipped the account book, he felt a little embarrassed and swallowed the idea of advance payment back into his stomach.
However, Gregory didn't care, but explained to Sawyer seriously: "This mission is expected to earn more than 60 black coins, at least not less than 50 black coins. You are equivalent to a nine-ring master, so it's okay to get ten."
"It would be even better if we could join our mercenary squad."
Corey also spoke rarely, but the shy boy's voice was too small. If Sawyer hadn't had outstanding hearing, he might have regarded this sentence as a gust of wind.
"Aha, this..." Sawyer wanted to refuse directly, but looking at Gregory and Corey's expectant eyes, he finally changed his words: "Let's talk about it later. If possible, we will cooperate again."
