In the Falcon Castle, Llewellyn, in the name of coming to visit, quickly stopped Asker who was about to collect his reward, and asked in detail what happened at that time.
"I don't know." Ask said seriously, "I heard a gunshot in the distance at that time..."
"How many times?" Llewellyn interrupted.
"One, right? Maybe two, I can't remember." Ask said, "After all, we were still fighting against the greenskins at that time."
Llewellyn was speechless.
"Then fog started to form in the distance, very big fog." Aske said, "It was the kind of weather that was sunny one second, and then the fog surged down from the mountain tops the next second. You can feel something just by looking directly at it.
A very uncomfortable cold breath. Well, although I don’t know what it is, I’m sure it has something to do with extraordinary abilities. After all, I’ve seen a lot of various mutations. You know the Night Watch team, right? I talk and laugh with them.
.”
The mist...the cold breath...is indeed the ability of the Styx Ferryman, and is consistent with the clues we found at the scene. Did the Ferryman trap the traitor by summoning the Styx?
Llewellyn thought to himself and continued to ask:
"Well, Captain Aske, after you saw the fog pouring down from the mountain, didn't you try to go over and find out what happened?"
"Of course not." Ask said sternly, "First of all, our Cangqing Sword was fighting a large number of green-skinned monsters in the city at that time. We were not allowed to escape at all, and we had no ability to escape to check."
"Second, the employment agreement signed between the Falcon family and us is to recapture the city of Stuttgart and capture the Count of Württemberg alive or confirm his death. As for the mutation, is it none of my business? I will help them quell the mutation.
Will the Falcon family be paid extra for this?”
Llewellyn:………………
Although the words are a bit rough, from the perspective of mercenaries, the risk of entering the mutation zone rashly is too high, and the income is unstable. Without the guarantee of the contract, the general mercenary group chooses to retreat in the face of mutation.
It's also a very normal thing.
As for the battle with the greenskins Asik said, the School of Life also found traces of the battle in the city, as well as the corpses of infected people.
Judging from the clues at the scene, these guys should have been besieged by the infected and finally besieged in a certain building.
"Do you have any snipers on your team?" Llewellyn asked abruptly.
"Of course." Askew replied without hesitation, "That team doesn't train shooters now?"
"Not a gunner, but a sniper." Llewellyn corrected him, "The kind with a range of more than two thousand meters."
"You're kidding." Asik laughed and pointed to the gun bag on his chest, "I am a gun player and I know some common sense about firearms. The range of a conventional sniper rifle is about 800-1500 meters. More than two thousand
Meters, wind direction, humidity, gravity... will all cause serious interference and offset to sniper accuracy."
"Of course it's no problem to just hit a target two thousand meters away. You can do it with a gun. But if you want to hit the target accurately, it definitely depends on luck. Even extraordinary abilities cannot last after the bullet comes out of the chamber.
Control the trajectory, and the trajectory is two thousand meters long. With that ability, who would want to play with a gun?"
Llewellyn was speechless again. What Asker said was the same as the conclusion analyzed by his men: According to the battle traces at the scene, the building where the Cangqing Sword people were besieged was a full 2,600 meters away from the hilltop where the target body was located.
The horizontal distance in meters.
According to the analysis of professionals in the school, conventional sniper rifles cannot hit such a long distance. This is already the combat range of artillery.
It is possible for the Templar Knights... However, according to the black technology of the Holy See, everything is possible. Let alone two thousand meters, it is possible to knock it down from a space-based orbit of tens of thousands of meters. This is also an analysis
Egg.
"Can you let me see your sniper?" Llewellyn still refused to give up.
"What do you want to do?" Asik immediately showed a vigilant look, "You want to poach someone?"
"No." Llewellyn didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could I, a high-level executive of the School of Life, hunt for snipers in your team? "I just want to get to know each other, nothing else, forget it..."
The leader seemed to have something to do with the Weisbach family, and Nora in the team was a member of the Licinius family, so there was no way he could kidnap her and torture her.
Besides, it is a definite fact that there were traces of the Styx at the scene of the incident. Anyway, the Spiritual Body Cult must be related to this matter. They have not escaped, and there is no need to dig deeper on the leader of the mercenary group, in case he offends the Licinius Group.
And the Weisbach family, that would be bad.
So he was about to leave, but was stopped by Aske:
"Well, it seems that there is a reward for reporting clues?"
Llewellyn turned around and sighed: "Money, or potion?"
"I heard that your school of life seems to have various blood-sequence potions?" Ask asked, "Do you have any giant-sequence ones?"
"Where did you hear that?" Llewellyn frowned and became alert.
Does this guy know about the essence of life?
"This is not a secret." Asker said, "Many families in West Francia have traded potions with you."
Llewellyn:…………
Yes, because the combination of life sequence and many bloodline sequences can greatly enhance physical strength, the life school has collected many rare bloodline sequence formulas and magic potions over the years, such as giants and dragons.
At the same time, since the headquarters is located in Brittany, the Kingdom of West Francia, the School of Life also has close contacts with the great nobles in the kingdom... Considering that the other party is a mercenary, it is normal that there are many information channels.
As long as it has nothing to do with the essence of life, there is no problem with trading or anything else, as long as the price is right.
After pondering for a moment, Llewellyn spoke:
"We do have some bloodline potions, but the highest ones are only level II. And according to convention, providing clues is not worth a bottle of level II potions, and the formula is almost the same."
"We can make up the difference." Aske said this would not be a problem.
"Level II potions of the bloodline sequence are much more expensive than other sequences." Llewellyn reminded him, "and we do not accept counter-offers."
"Just quote the price." After all, the team had just received a large amount of income, and Asker was very confident at this time.
"The equivalent of 1,600 Lorraine gold coins." Llewellyn said, "The clues you provided are worth 300 gold coins."
1,600 gold coins is quite reasonable. In the past, the transaction price of the Giant II potion in the game among players was around 1,400. Considering that there are no players in this world, the mining and production efficiency of human beings as a whole for extraordinary resources must be slower and slightly more expensive.
Also normal.
As for the discount of 300 on the clue, this is surprisingly high. Asik originally estimated that they had not caught anyone alive and that their extraordinary characteristics were gone, so the discount on this clue was as high as 200.
Unexpectedly, the other party's estimate was 300. It seems that this Llewellyn is indeed a kind person.
No! Asik suddenly realized, how can he be kind? He is clearly trying to sell well. The reason is of course self-evident - after all, Nora's identity is here!
"Okay." He agreed directly, "Just bring the potion and I can pay you in cash right away."
"Pay immediately?" Llewellyn was a little surprised. 1,300 gold coins. The weight and size alone are exaggerated. You actually carry it with you?
"Of course." Asik called the butler who was waiting outside, "I have reached a deal with this gentleman. I have to pay him 1,300 gold coins, which will be deducted from the second installment of the payment you are due."
Castle Butler:………………
My guest, your ability to spend money is really as good as your ability to make money! You just earned 2360 gold coins, and you spent half of it in the blink of an eye!
But after all, this was a deal reached between the family and the other party. Naturally, he, a small butler, couldn't say anything. He just asked Llewellyn respectfully:
"Do you want to pick it up with me, or should I have it delivered to the place you specify?"
Llewellyn was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that the one who paid in the end was the Sauron family. Of course he couldn't withdraw the more than a thousand gold coins now, otherwise he would leave like a donkey carrying a heavy bag of money?
"I'll have someone deliver the stuff over, and I'll just pay him directly when the time comes," Llewellyn said at last.
