Lord of Hyranza

"Um, what I want to say is, Aphrodite, can you stay on the side of Pustule Mountain for me for a while?" Suldak asked cautiously. He also knew that his request was a little too much, but he I've been so busy recently, and I'm even a little out of control.

Aphrodite asked in amazement: "You want me to live on the side of Pustule Volcano?"

"Well, just stay for a while." Surdak nodded and said.

"How long?" Aphrodite asked.

Suldak replied, "About a few weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe four weeks."

Aphrodite waved her hand and said, "There are also several volcanoes billowing with smoke all day next to my previous residence. I know how to live there, but you'd better move quickly."

"I will solve the matter over there as soon as possible!" When Suldak said this, he obviously lacked confidence.

In the afternoon, Suldak rushed to the airport pier of Hailansa City. He found the administrator on the pier and was informed that more than 30 ancient Bolai war horses arrived in Hailansa three days ago and are currently being fostered at the airport pier. In the stable, after paying the foster care fee, Suldak spent two silver coins outside the gate of the airport pier to hire two coachmen who can herd horses, and asked them to drive the group of war horses to the carriage shop.

These more than 30 ancient Bolai horses and full armor will be transported to Wall Village tomorrow.

Aphrodite needs to stay in Hailansa City until Suldak handles all the things here. In Hailansa City, the succubus Aphrodite does not have too many scruples. The Hailansa Guard Battalion Many knights have seen Aphrodite, so as long as she doesn't go to the mage's tower, she can wander around the city at will.

The beauty of the mountain city in winter is wrapped in ice and snow, and many seas of pines and cypresses on the street remain green. Aphrodite accompanied Suldak to the parade square in front of the city hall.

Leaving her here, Suldak went to report to the guard camp.

Walking into the familiar guard camp, many knights of the guard camp greeted Suldak as soon as he entered the gate. Now he can be regarded as the squadron leader of the guard camp and the middle level of the guard camp. Thinking of a year ago, he was only a mere He was just a reserve knight who stepped down from the battlefield. He has experienced many things in just over a year, and now Suldak has become a noble baron.

He walked to the front desk and asked the female receptionist on duty, "Are Squadron Captain Karl and Captain Sauron there?"

The female receptionist seemed to recognize Suldak's identity, and quickly said to him, "Captain Sauron is out on a mission, and Squadron Captain Karl happened to be here today."

Surdak nodded.

He walked along the corridor to the end, walked up some old wooden stairs, and found the lounge of the support group. A group of knights from the support group were chatting and playing cards in the lounge. Seeing Suldak enter the room, he quickly called him to play cards together .

Suldak pointed to the room on the inside, and asked the knights outside, "Is Karl inside?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Surdak came to the door and knocked.

"Come in!" came a steady voice from behind the door.

Suldak pushed open the wooden door. Karl was sitting on a chair in front of the desk and sorting out a document. When he looked up, he found Suldak standing at the door. He happily invited him in and asked, "Dark, what are you doing?" How come? I thought it would be over in the Badlands all winter."

Suldak and Karl hugged, sat on the chair opposite the desk, and said to Karl: "I'm here to collect the materials and funds for the next quarter. Isn't Captain Sauron here?"

Although the Badlands Security Squadron of the Badlands Guard Battalion has not yet recruited people, Suldak needs to get all the materials and funds allocated for this quarter.

Karl poured a cup of tea for Suldak, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Captain Sauron is rushing to the city of Bena. It seems that the military headquarters has some tasks that require the full cooperation of the entire province's guard battalion." Viscount Emmett is in charge of the daily affairs of the Hailansa Guard Battalion these days, I will take you to him, how is the formation of the Knight Squadron of the Guard Battalion in your side?"

Asked by Karl, Suldak realized that he had to form not only the militia battalion and the private cavalry battalion, but also the security squadron of the guard battalion. War horses are hard to buy, I went to the horse market in Bena City a few days ago, and there are no horses there!"

Karl didn't expect Suldak to say this, he hesitated for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "The horses of the Security Squadron of the Guard Battalion, the Guard Battalion should help you solve it, you might as well talk to Viscount Emmett later. He mentions it."

Suldak stared at Karl with wide eyes, and said a little excitedly: "Can the guard battalion come forward to deal with the war horse?"

Karl nodded and said, "A guard battalion squadron only needs [-] horses. I think the Hailansa Logistics Department should be able to get them."

……

Viscount Emmet looked at Karl with a smile on his face and Suldak who was sitting upright on the other side of the table, and said helplessly: "You need to submit an application in writing. Recently, there have been frequent wars in the Green Empire, so the strategy of War Horse It is difficult to apply for supplies, you have to wait in line for the upper quota, and you don’t know how long you have to wait for sixty horses.”

Sure enough, it's not as simple as Karl said, Suldak thought to himself.

Karl was just about to ask, but Viscount Emmet waved his hand and blocked the words in his throat. Viscount Emmet said to Suldak again: "Even if you don't come here from the barren land this time, this notice is still worth it." It will be delivered to you immediately. The guard battalion has already arranged all the knight places in the security squadron, but the snow in the mountains here is too heavy, so it has not been handed over to you. I have a list, you You can take it and have a look."

With that said, Viscount Emmet handed a piece of parchment full of names in the drawer to Surdak.

Suldak took it in his hand and carefully looked at the information on the list. Unexpectedly, the guard battalion still forced some young knights to come to him. Suldak said to Viscount Emmett: "Everyone Young men who have graduated from the Knight Academy?"

Viscount Emmet corrected with a serious face: "They are all young people with knight status. If you want to join the guard camp, you must have knight status."

Seeing Suldak sitting there with his head bowed and silent, Karl stepped on Suldak under the table and gave him a wink. Suldak pinched his nose and said, "Okay, what do you say?" It's up to you."

Although he was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the guard battalion, Suldak could only bite the bullet and agree to it when he saw Karl's hint.

Seeing that Suldak agreed although he was reluctant, Viscount Emmet's face turned pale, and then he knocked on the table with his hand and said to Suldak: "These young knights are not all good, at least they Everyone has their own horses!"

Then he whispered: "Originally, considering the harsh environment of the barren land, no one would like to go there to eat sand, but now the major legions are on the battlefield of the plane, and it is not too safe there. Compared with the battlefield of the plane , These people are more willing to go to the barren land to eat sand. There are not many places for these young knights to choose after graduation this year. There are more than 60 vacancies in the guard camp, and they are almost all divided up by those in the House of Representatives. Now The Hailansa House of Representatives has officially issued a written notice, requiring the guard battalion to strictly implement the recruitment standards of the guard battalion..."

After finishing speaking, Viscount Emmet also showed a look of helplessness.

Surdak didn't expect this to happen, so he quickly stood up and said, "I completely obey the arrangement of the guard battalion. Can I lead them to the Badlands Security Squadron this time?"

Viscount Emmet waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said: "Of course, Sauron and I have proposed in the House of Representatives that the law and order in the barren land is not very good. But those members think that the law and order in the barren land is not very good. No matter how bad it is, it’s better than the Warsaw plane! So Sauron and I have been asking Karl to persuade you recently, and of course it’s best if you can figure it out now.”

Suldak nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Viscount Emmett: "Captain Emmett, there have been frequent robbers on the desert side in the barren land recently, and I urgently need manpower to maintain law and order there." , when will these young knights go to Wall Village?"

Viscount Emmet lowered his head and calculated, and said: "In three days, I will ask Karl to send the person to Wall Village in person!"

Carl was a little dumbfounded, and muttered something in a low voice where Viscount Emmett couldn't see.

Leaving Viscount Emmett's room, Karl grabbed Suldak by the collar, pushed him into the corner of the corridor, and asked angrily, "Why is it so urgent, we can't stay in Hailansha for a few more days, and we have to Shall I send these graduates there specially?"

Suldak clapped Karl's hand away and said to him: "Recently desert bandits have been looting natural villages in the northwest in the barren land. I came to Hailansa City this time to prepare to hire a mercenary from the mercenary union." The regiment, it is best to hire a Hawkeye who has a 'Earth Vision'."

Karl stared at Suldak dumbfounded and said, "Eh? Do you know how much you need to pay to hire a mercenary group? Do you know what an eagle eye of 'Earth Vision' represents? Your brimstone How much money can the mine earn to allow you to spend so recklessly?"

The two did not stay on the third floor of the guard camp, but walked down the wooden stairs.

Suldak asked Karl: "Does it matter if you are in the mercenary union? I need to hire a professional mercenary group, and I don't need some showy!"

"Of course, let's go. I'll take you there and get your gold coins ready, but I'm not sure whether I can hire Hawkeye!" Karl reminded Suldak.

The mercenary union was not too far from the guard camp, and the two of them did not ride horses. They walked west along the road in front of the city hall and passed the House of Representatives. They walked around the intersection in front of them and saw the mercenary union facing the street. At this time, the mercenary union The door to the union was open, and there were many mercenaries of various professions sitting on the steps.

Chapter 659 Mercenary Union

The mercenary union in Hailansa city doesn't look that big from the outside, the steps at the door protrude forward a little, and extend around in a fan shape.

There were many fighters standing on the steps, some chatted together, and some simply sat and rested on the low stone wall next to the steps. The low wall beside the steps was covered with withered creepers. The shield forming the guild crest was erected on the roof of the guild.

In winter, the mercenary union is located in the middle of the townhouses, with the leatherworkers' union and cookers' association on the left and right sides, which looks much deserted.

There are many unofficial organizations such as trade unions in the Grimm Empire. The most famous and influential one is the Magic Union. There are also Thieves Unions that are known to many people but always hidden in the shadows. Other unions are also spread all over the Grimm Empire. City.

Seeing Karl and Suldak approaching, the fighters waiting at the door quickly cast their eyes on the two of them, only to see the badges on the chests of Karl and Suldak, and immediately scattered around, no more People are willing to come together. In the eyes of these fighters, the guard camp is a group of wild dogs who bite whoever they see, and who would be willing to deal with mad dogs.

Karl led Suldak into the hall of the mercenary union. The windows in the hall were very small, and the colorful glass made the room a little dark. The magic wall lamp on the wall emitted soft light, which looked like a torch. There are also some paintings about war on the walls of the hall, but it is not clear where the castle in the painting belongs.

The decoration of the lobby on the first floor of the mercenary union looked like a tavern. Some soldiers sat at small round tables and discussed mission assignments 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. Queuing over there.

"What are they doing?" Surdak pouted curiously towards the bar.

Carl turned his head and glanced, and said with some uncertainty: "Probably registering information, after many soldiers join the mercenary union, they will register their personal information here, and sometimes employers will hire them based on these personal information. "

Suldak followed Karl and walked towards the stairs in the hall.

There is a blackboard on the wall, which is filled with words in Imperial language.

"Where is the notice board?" Suldak asked Karl in a low voice.

Carl turned sideways and explained to Suldak: "Many high-value but very difficult commissions are usually written on those bulletin boards, and will not be erased until the commissioned tasks are completed or expired. Look... every line of commission There are deadlines.”

Suldak asked again: "Then why don't we register in front of the bar?"

Carl said with a smile: "If it's just here to register, why should I make a special trip with you, wouldn't it be better to tell you the address directly, and follow me upstairs, the occupation you are looking for is not common, I didn't even listen It is said that the mercenary group in Hailansa still has Hawkeye. Dewey, the vice president of this mercenary union, and I are good friends, and I think he can help a little bit, at least reveal some inside information to us."

The two walked upstairs while chatting. The wooden stairs were painted with a layer of brown-red paint, which was very thick like a wooden board, and it was very calm 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 tends to be cruel and realistic. At the desk, looking up at Carl at the door: "Who are you looking for?"

"Vice President Dewey, please tell him that his old friend Carl is looking for him." Carl said politely to the lady.

"Okay, Baron Karl! Please wait a moment." The lady in the gray round-neck cashmere sweater stood up, turned and walked into the room behind her.

Ten seconds later, the door of the room was pushed open vigorously.

A burly man with a beer belly came out and saw Carl at the door. He excitedly walked up to him and hugged him. He laughed and said, "Carl, why did you come to my place?"

Carl put his arm around Vice President Dewey's shoulder, pointed to Suerdak beside him and introduced: "This is my friend - Suerdak, I mentioned to you before that you were supposed to be at the party I know him on the Internet, but he has never lived in the city, and the chances of coming to Hailansa City are not too many, so we can only find him directly."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Baron Suldak." Vice President Dewey said to Suldak with his hairy hand.

"Nice to meet you, Vice President Dewey." Suerdak quickly stretched out his hand and held the bear's paw and said.

Dewey invited the two into his reception room, and the female assistant brought refreshments.

After the three of them sat down, Dewey asked, "You won't come to me so easily, tell me, what can I do for you?"

Karl patted Suldak 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 it's this season, those bandits can't escape Stand still and wait for you to chop him with a knife. Their people have no experience in desert life, but those robbers hide in the desert, and only stick their heads out when they want to bite. In short, things are difficult. Is there any mercenary group familiar with the desert? We want to hire a mercenary group."

Dewey leaned on the sofa, put his hands into his hair and straightened it carefully, and then said after serious consideration: "There are some mercenary groups who are very familiar with the desert, but I can't guarantee whether those guys have contact with the people in the desert. You also know that they are robbers when they take off their pants, and they are a group of mercenaries when they put on their pants, and some people don’t mind role-playing for gold coins and magic crystals.”

Carl asked: "Is there anyone who is more reliable, at least in the recent stage, who has performed quite well?"

Dewey stroked his beard with his hand, and said, "I can recommend a few mercenary regiments to you, but if you want to let them enter the desert, the remuneration probably won't be too low."

Suldak sighed in his heart, no matter where he went, he couldn't do without the phrase 'It's easy to do things with acquaintances'.

Karl glanced at Suldak proudly, and then asked, "Then do you know Hawkeye?"

Du Wei had just picked up his teacup and took a sip of water. Hearing Carl's question, he couldn't help but choked out a sip of water, and hurriedly said, "Hawkeye...cough! Could it be that this kind of occupation is almost covered by the great lord? , how could it be possible to come here to be a mercenary? Even in Bena City, it would be difficult to find a mercenary regiment with eagle eyes, unless the leader of the mercenary regiment is known as eagle eye..."

After finishing speaking, he took out his handkerchief and wiped off the water stains on his beard. The female assistant outside heard the coughing sound in the room, pushed the door and walked in, and hurriedly dealt with the tea table and the water stains on his body. Dewey waved at the lady. He waved his hand, indicating that it was all right.

After the female assistant left the room, she said again: "It has been a hundred years since our mercenary union was established, but there are less than ten Hawkeyes registered. I think you might as well hire two magicians to investigate the effect." It's almost..."

"Margolin, bring me the list of registered mercenaries!" He shouted loudly towards the outside.

"Okay, President Dewey." The door was pushed open a crack, and the female assistant's answer came from outside.

Dewey said again: "By the way, bring the tobacco I brought back from Haiyinsi City..."

The female assistant brought over a stack of parchment rosters of mercenaries, and carefully pushed open the door and squeezed in. She was a bit petite, and the heavy roster almost completely blocked her body, so she could only look sideways to the front. 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 down 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. They're not on the union side, forget it."

"Okay, Mr. Vice President." The female assistant turned and left.

It's a pity that Hawkeye is not on the roster, which is the main purpose of Suldak's mercenary group.

Karl and Suldak searched all the rosters, but they couldn't find a Hawkeye. Karl said to Suldak with some frustration: "It's a pity that there is no Hawkeye, so I can only go to the Magic Union to hire a magician." , we'll go to Lance for help later, but in such a cold day, those mage masters probably don't want to go out."

Although Suldak was not reconciled, he could only say now: "Okay! Then let's go to the Magic Union later."

At this time, the female assistant just came back.

Vice President Dewey patted his forehead and asked the female assistant, "Margolin, has Hawkeye appeared on our trade union recently?"

Without even thinking about it, the female assistant said, "President, there are..."

Karl and Suldak looked at the female assistant named Margolin at the same time, and they didn't expect that she would know about Hawkeye.

"...Where is he? Why haven't I heard anyone mention it?" Dewey, the vice-chairman, blushed and asked unnaturally.

Margolin bit her lip, hesitated for a moment before saying: "...Maybe not, anyway, I'm not sure either!"

"It doesn't matter if you say something wrong." Karl said to Margolin.

The female assistant Margolin hesitated before saying, "He didn't register his personal information with our Hailansa Mercenary Union. He came to us...probably just to release a mission!"

When she said this, she suddenly seemed to think of 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, taciturn, likes to hide himself in the shadows, wrapped in thick linen bandages, even his face and head are wrapped with bandages , wearing a set of dirty leather armor, but his bow is very beautiful, and this long bow seems to be burning with a flame."

Suldak and Karl looked at each other in blank dismay, and people with weird attire generally had a somewhat extreme personality.

The female assistant Margolin continued: "When he first came to the mercenary union, he had some conflicts outside with a group of mercenary groups from us. The group of mercenary groups probably took a fancy to his bow. But at that time, everyone restrained themselves in time, and there was no fighting on the spot. Master Lucian happened to be present at the time, and according to his judgment, that person is very likely to be Hawkeye."

Vice President Dewey asked: "What kind of tasks does he issue here?"

The female assistant, Margolin, tapped her head hard, and then said, "I don't remember the details. The entrusted task is still written on the bulletin board on the first floor. His name and address are on the list of entrusted persons."

"Help me find that roster... Forget it, let's go downstairs with me to see the bulletin board!" After Vice President Dewey finished speaking, he took Suldak and Karl to the downstairs hall with a shy stomach. , standing at the stairs, the female assistant Margolin hurriedly led the way, and the group checked the task board one by one, and finally saw the entrusted task at the top of the middle section of the notice board.

The task is also very simple. It is to search for clues of the crystallized salamander within the range of Hailansa City. The inscription in the column of the name at the back is "Viru", and in terms of entrusting remuneration, provide any information about the crystallized salamander, and verify that it is correct If the information is correct, five silver coins will be given for one message, and two magic crystals will be given for one message if the hiding place of the crystallized salamander is revealed and verified.

"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 walked back quickly and said to Vice President Dewey: "President, I found it. This Viru is now living in the hotel next to the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant at No. 53 Central Avenue."

"Are you going to find him?" Karl asked Suldak.
