The mercenary union in Helensa City doesn't look big from the outside. The steps at the door extend forward and extend in a fan shape.
There were many warriors standing on the steps, some chatting together, and some simply sitting on the low stone wall next to the steps to rest. The low wall next to it was covered with dried ivy, a long halberd and a broken halberd.
The shield formed the guild's emblem and was erected on the roof of the guild.
In winter, the mercenary union is located in the middle of a row of western-style buildings. On the left and right sides are the leatherworkers' union and the cooks' union, which looks much deserted.
There are many unofficial organizations such as trade unions in the Green Empire. The most famous and influential one is the Magic Guild. There are also the Thieves Guild, which many people know but always hide in the shadows. Other unions are also spread throughout the Green Empire.
City.
Seeing Karl and Surdak coming over, the warriors waiting at the door quickly turned their attention to the two men. When they saw the badges on the chests of Karl and Surdak, they immediately dispersed and disappeared.
People are willing to come together. In the eyes of these warriors, the guard camp is just a group of wild dogs that bite whoever they see. Who would be willing to deal with a mad dog?
Karl took Suldak into the mercenary union hall. The windows in the hall were very small, and the colorful glass made the room a little dark. The magic wall lamps on the walls emitted soft light and looked like torches.
There are also some paintings about war on the walls of the hall, but it is hard to tell where the castle in the painting belongs.
The decoration of the first floor hall of the mercenary union looks like a tavern, with some soldiers sitting at a small round table and discussing task commissions with their employers.
Three female receptionists wearing white linen shirts stood neatly behind the bar. The shelves behind them were not filled with wine bottles, but neat rows of document bags. The female receptionists were sitting at the bar, and there were several combat workers.
Queuing up over there.
"What are they doing?" Suldak asked curiously, nodding toward the bar.
Karl turned around and looked at it, and said with some uncertainty: "Probably to register information. After many soldiers join the mercenary union, they will register their personal information here. Sometimes employers will hire them based on this personal information.
"
Suldak followed Karl and walked towards the stairs of the hall.
There is a blackboard hanging on the wall, which is filled with text in Imperial language.
"That notice board over there?" Suldak asked Karl in a low voice.
Karl turned sideways and explained to Suldak: "Many high-value but very difficult commissions are usually written on those notice boards, and will not be erased until the commission task is completed or expires. You see... each line of commission
There are deadlines behind it.”
Suldak asked again: "Then why don't we go to the bar to register?"
Karl smiled and said: "If you just come here to register, why should I make a special trip with you? Wouldn't it be better to tell you the address directly? Come upstairs with me. The occupation you are looking for is not common. I didn't even listen.
The mercenary group in Helensa also includes Hawkeye. Dewey, the vice-president of this mercenary union, is a good friend of mine. I think he can be of some help, or at least reveal some inside information to us."
The two of them were chatting while walking upstairs. The wooden stairs were coated with a layer of brown-red paint. They were as thick as wooden boards and were very stable to step on.
Go up to the second floor and walk along the corridor. There are still some murals about war on the ceiling and walls. The style is cruel and realistic. The picture makes people feel a little depressing. Pushing open the Indigo wooden door at the end, a lady sits
At the desk, he looked up at Karl at the door: "Who are you looking for?"
"Vice President Dewey, please tell him that his old friend Carl is here to see him." Carl said politely to the lady.
"Okay, Baron Karl! Please wait a moment." The lady wearing a gray round-neck cashmere sweater stood up, turned and walked into the room behind her.
Ten seconds later, the door to the room was pushed open forcefully.
A brawny man with a beer belly walked out of it. When he saw Karl at the door, he walked up excitedly and hugged Karl. He laughed and said, "Karl, why are you here?"
Carl put one arm around Vice President Dewey's shoulder, pointed to Suldak beside him and introduced: "This is my friend Suldak. I mentioned to you before that you were supposed to get to know each other at the party.
, but he has never lived in the city, and there are not many opportunities to come to Helensa City, so he can only come directly to the door."
"Nice to meet you, Baron Suldak." Vice President Dewey stretched out his big, hairy hand and said to Suldak.
"Nice to meet you, Vice President Dewey." Suldak quickly stretched out his hand, held the bear's paw and said.
Dewey invited the two of them into his reception room, and the female assistant brought refreshments.
After the three people sat down, Dewey asked: "You won't come to me easily and tell me if you need my help with anything!"
Karl patted Surdak on the shoulder and said directly: "Dak wants to go to the desert to find trouble with those desert bandits, but you also know that in the desert and in this season, it is impossible for those bandits to escape.
They stand still and wait for you to chop them with a knife. Their people have little experience in desert life, but those bandits hide in the desert and only stick their heads out when they want to bite people. In short, things are very difficult for you here.
Is there any mercenary group familiar with the desert? We would like to hire a mercenary group."
Dewey leaned on the sofa, put his hands into his hair and straightened it carefully. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "There are some mercenary groups who are very familiar with the desert, but I can't guarantee whether those guys have any contact with the people in the desert.
You also know that if they take off their pants, they will be bandits, and if they put on pants, they will be a group of mercenaries. Some people do not mind role-playing for gold coins and magic crystals."
Karl asked: "Are there any that are more reliable, at least at this stage, the performance is quite satisfactory?"
Dewey touched his beard with his hand and said, "I can recommend a few mercenary groups to you, but if you want to send them into the desert, the reward will probably not be too low."
Surdak sighed in his heart, no matter where he goes, he can't do without the saying "it's easy to do things when you have acquaintances".
Karl glanced at Suldak very proudly, and then asked: "Then do you know Hawkeye?"
Dewey just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. When he heard Karl ask this, he couldn't help but choked out a sip of water and said hurriedly: "Eagle Eye... cough cough! Is it possible that this kind of profession is almost covered by the big lord's hands?
, how could he come to be a mercenary? Even in Bena City, it would be difficult to find a mercenary group with an eagle eye, unless the leader of the mercenary group is an eagle eye himself..."
After saying that, he took out his handkerchief and wiped off the water stains on his beard. When the female assistant outside heard the coughing in the room, she opened the door and walked in. She quickly dealt with the water stains on the coffee table and his body. Dewey waved at the lady.
He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
After the female assistant exited the room, she continued: "It has been a hundred years since the establishment of our mercenary union, but there are less than ten registered eagle eyes. I think you might as well hire two magicians to explore the effect.
Pretty much..."
"Margolin, bring me the list of registered mercenaries!" He shouted loudly toward the outside.
"Okay, President Dewey." The door was pushed open a crack, and the female assistant's reply came from outside.
Dewey added: "By the way, bring me the tobacco I brought back from Haiyin Silk City..."
The female assistant brought over a stack of parchment rosters for the mercenary group, carefully opened the door and squeezed in. She was a bit petite, and the heavy roster almost blocked her entire body. She could only look sideways and looked forward.
And put this thick stack of lists on the coffee table.
Suldak, Karl, and Dewey got together, and under the guidance of Vice President Dewey, they quickly selected five mercenary groups with good records.
Dewey quickly wrote the names of several mercenary groups on a piece of paper, handed the note to the female assistant beside him, and told her: "Go and invite the leaders of these mercenary groups. If
They are not with the union, so forget it."
"Okay, Vice President." The female assistant turned and left.
Unfortunately, there is no Hawkeye on the roster. This is the main purpose of Surdak's mercenary group.
Karl and Surdak looked through all the rosters, but could not find an Eagle Eye. Karl said to Surdak with some frustration: "It's a pity that there is no Eagle Eye, so we can only go to the Magic Guild to hire a magician."
, we’ll go find Lance for help later, but in such a cold weather, I guess those mages won’t be willing to go out.”
Although Surdak was a little reluctant, he could only say now: "Okay! Then we will go to the Magic Guild later to have a look."
At this time, the female assistant just returned.
Vice President Dewey patted his forehead and asked the female assistant: "Margolin, has there been any Hawkeye in our union recently?"
The female assistant said without thinking: "President, some..."
Karl and Suldak looked at the female assistant named Margolin at the same time. Neither of them expected that she actually knew the news about Hawkeye.
"...Where is he? Why haven't I heard anyone talk about it?" Vice President Dewey blushed and asked unnaturally.
Margolin bit her lip and hesitated before saying: "...Maybe not, anyway, I'm not sure!"
"It doesn't matter if you're wrong," Karl said to Margolin.
The female assistant Margolin hesitated before saying: "He did not register personal information with our Helensa mercenary union. He came to us... probably just to release a task!"
When she said this, she suddenly seemed to remember something again, and quickly tapped her forehead and said:
"Oh, by the way, the main information about his level is very simple. He is a very strange person. He is taciturn and likes to hide himself in the shadows. He is wrapped in thick linen bandages, and even his face and head are wrapped with bandages.
, wearing a set of dirty leather armor, but his bow is very beautiful, the long bow seems to be burning with a ball of flame."
Suldak and Karl looked at each other. Generally, people with weird costumes also have extreme personalities.
The female assistant Margolin continued: "When he first came to the mercenary union, he had some friction with a group of mercenaries here. Maybe the mercenary group took a fancy to his bow.
However, everyone restrained themselves in time and no fight broke out on the spot. Master Lucian happened to be present at the time, and according to his judgment, that person was probably a Hawkeye."
Vice President Dewey asked: "What kind of mission is he issuing to us?"
The female assistant Margoline knocked her head hard, and then said: "I don't remember the details. The commissioned task is still written on the notice board on the first floor. His name and address are on the list of task entrusters."
"Help me find that roster... Forget it, come with me downstairs and look at the notice board!" After Vice President Dewey finished speaking, he took Suldak and Karl to the downstairs hall with a shy belly.
, standing at the entrance of the stairs, the female assistant Margolin quickly led the way. The group checked the task board one by one, and finally saw the commissioned task at the top of the middle section of the notice board.
The task is also very simple. It is to look for clues about the crystallized salamander within the city of Helensa. The signature in the name column at the back is 'Viru', and in terms of entrustment reward, provide any information about the crystallized salamander and verify it.
If so, one message will be worth five silver coins. If the hiding place of the crystallized salamander is revealed and verified correctly, one message will be worth two magic crystals.
"This guy actually wants to hunt crystallized salamanders. It seems he must have some skills!" Carl stood in front of the notice board.
"Margolin, go to the front desk and check his address." Vice President Dewey ordered.
Not long after, the female assistant Margolin came back quickly and said to Vice President Dewey: "President, we found out that this Viru is now living in the hotel next to the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant at No. 53 Central Street."
"Are you going to find him?" Karl asked Suldak.
Suldak said: "Whether he is an Eagle Eye or not, you have to take a look before you are willing to do it!"
Three people walked out from next to the bulletin board.
"Vice President Dewey, the selected mercenary group leaders are already waiting at the door of the reception room. Would you like to go over now?" Margolin walked quickly to Vice President Dewey and stood beside him.
Whisper in your ear.
"Well, since we're here, let's go take a look now!" Vice President Dewey said calmly.
The group returned to the second floor. Vice President Dewey walked over and was immediately surrounded by a group of people. Vice President Dewey said with a straight face: "I'll give you some time. Come to my office one by one later and organize your activities."
Introduce your mercenary group in language, Margolin, and arrange for all mercenary group leaders to line up first..."
The leader of the mercenary group at the front looked happy and walked into Dewey's office happily. The leaders of the mercenary group behind were naturally very annoyed and waited behind, watching helplessly as Surdak and
Carl walked in.
"It seems they are from the guard camp..." the mercenary group behind them said in a heated discussion.
"No way, how could those people from the guard camp come to the mercenary union!" Someone said from behind. "When you go in later, take a closer look!"
"I'm sure I saw it right..." the person who spoke first said confidently.
