Steven slowly moved towards Yukesa while reviewing and summarizing his combat experience.
It was already noon. Although he was not very hungry after the morning's battle, he knew that his body was very exhausted, so he spurred his horse off the dirt road, rushed into the grassland, and headed towards the distant forest. He was going to hunt an antelope as his own.
's lunch.
While Steven was wandering around the city of Ukesa, near the Yotun Academy in Bordeaux City, the capital of the Principality of Yotland in the northwest of the Union, in a two-story rock building facing the street, Kate was chatting with Jane
, Blake stood in the foyer of this building, and opposite them stood a young lady wearing a long skirt and a small round hat.
The hall had obviously been simply renovated not long ago, with some decorative paintings hanging on the walls.
The young lady named Anna is less than thirty years old, not tall, slightly plump, but not fat, with a beautiful oval face. She has a capable look in her eyes when she speaks.
At this time, she was talking to Kate and the others: "Mr. Kate, Miss Jane, and Mr. Black, all related matters have been handled as of yesterday! The decoration was also approved two days ago, and the Bordeaux Mercenary Guild sent a congratulatory letter yesterday.
, now we’re just waiting to choose the opening time!”
Kate looked up at the wooden decorative frame hanging on the wall facing the door. Pasted there was the official business certificate of the mercenary group issued by the Mercenary Guild. On it were the words "Flame Mercenary Group" and the level.
The remark reads: Elementary level.
Miss Anna is the internal staff hired by the Flame Mercenary Group. Currently, there is only Anna. She is involved in the address selection, registration procedures, decoration of the station and other business required for the opening of the mercenary group. Kate is very fortunate to have hired her from the beginning.
Anna, this saved him a lot of energy and time.
"I think we should open the business today! There is no need to specifically choose a time! Although there are only three of us mercenaries in the mercenary group at present, I think other warriors will join in the future. I'm afraid Steven will have to wait for a while before he can come back.
Before he comes back, we can take on some commissioned tasks to get the mercenary group up and running, what do you think?" After Kate finished speaking, she asked Jane and Blake for their opinions.
Jane nodded in agreement with Kate's opinion. She didn't say much. Normally, she nodded in agreement when Kate and Blake asked for her opinion.
Blake also nodded and said, "Just today! Anyway, no one comes to congratulate us on our opening, so today is the best! By the way, Kate! Can you predict when Steven will come back?"
Kate nodded to Anna and thanked her: "Then we will open today! The establishment and opening of the Flame Mercenary Group in such a short period of time is inseparable from Miss Anna's hard work! Let's find a restaurant nearby to celebrate tonight!"
Miss Anna said a few polite words on the side, and Kate turned to Blake and said: "Blake! As for the time when Steven will come back, I can't predict it yet! But I think he should be back within half a year at most!"
Blake has asked Kate to predict the time of Steven's return several times, so there was a hint of helplessness in Kate's tone.
He knew what Blake was thinking: he just wanted to follow Steven on adventures, especially ancient ruins and the like! Ever since he and Steven told Blake about the adventure of the pyramid ruins, he had been fascinated by ruin exploration.
!
Even the courses he chose besides mechanics included archeology, history, field courses, etc. This shows the restless state of this guy's heart!
But Blake learned swordsmanship from Jane, and his combat skills such as close combat cold weapons have also made great progress. Now he is no longer the melee rookie he was on the ship!
He has basically mastered close combat, and his physical fitness is also improving rapidly. It seems that Black can still endure hardships! And he should also have the potential and quality of a warrior!
Unfortunately, Blake's interest is still in firearms. He only wants to use melee technology as a supplement to long-range attacks. Kate has no objection to this. He respects Blake's choice.
Moreover, the mercenary group, which mainly hunts Warcraft, originally needs many long-range attackers who can also serve as scouts.
As for Jane, she moved here after the mercenary regiment was renovated and furnished. She now lives in the dormitory on the second floor. In addition to training Black's combat skills every day, she trains herself alone. She has now learned it under Kate's teaching.
Shooting with a crossbow.
In addition to training, Jane's daily schedule is training. To find her, you only need to go to the training ground behind the station building.
The combat skills she learned during her time in the assassin organization were quite technical, mainly dagger, dagger and dart skills. Other skills include narrow space fighting, blind fighting at night, close combat skills, etc. They are basically the skills of an assassin.
.
She had basically not learned anything that warriors need to master, such as long swords, battle axes, spears, crossbows, etc. Now Jane is working hard to train these skills that she has not learned before, and Blake is also teaching her how to shoot with a flintlock rifle.
.
The mercenary group now owns two flintlock rifles, which were purchased from a specialized weapons store with the mercenary group purchase certificate. The Principality of Götland also has laws that stipulate that ordinary citizens are not allowed to own long guns, but farmers and hunters, including
Mercenary groups can purchase and own spears.
The Flame Mercenary Group is open! Although Steven is not in Bordo now, it does not prevent Kate and several other members of the mercenary group from finding a luxurious restaurant near the station to celebrate the official opening of the mercenary group while enjoying delicious food.

At this time, Steven was riding his horse into the city of Ukesa. It was a bit late now, so he managed to get rid of the chestnut horse quickly while the shop was still closed before dark.
Fortunately, horses are one of the most important means of transportation in this era. There are many horse-related shops in the city. Steven easily found a shop that bought and sold horses. After some bargaining, he finally sold the chestnut horse.
After receiving the money that the boss sadly handed over, Steven quickly walked out of the store. He also had to go to the train station to find a hotel. He would have to go to the station to buy train tickets tomorrow morning. He was worried that he would not be able to buy them if he arrived late.
After beckoning for a carriage, he got on it and told the coachman to go to the train station. The coachman whipped his whip and the carriage pulled Steven towards the station.
He sat on the carriage, concentrating on letting go of his perception, while turning on his soul perception skills to look for possible stalkers. After a while, he opened his eyes, but he didn't feel that he was being followed!
This is a bit unreasonable! Ordinarily, the killer organization cannot let him go easily!
Maybe they haven't realized they've entered the city yet?
This is possible. Although the power organization is powerful, it is not omnipotent. He was discovered as soon as he entered the city. Unless he was in a city in his previous life, where surveillance and facial recognition were everywhere, this era that is hundreds of years behind should be
It's not that exaggerated.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is following but he is not aware of it. Steven now feels that this possibility also exists. As long as he is peering at a certain distance without hostility and is someone who has been trained in professional tracking skills, he may not be able to
