"You don't even need to sing..."
The girl with red eyes murmured involuntarily, her voice warm and sweet.
Chant? what is that? Is it necessary to perform an impromptu spell before releasing the magic, coupled with some fancy gestures?
Li Shanren didn't know why, so he pretended to be cold and asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No...no."
The red-eyed girl suddenly realized her gaffe, and immediately touched the burly man next to her who was still in a dazed state with her elbow.
After being reminded, the burly man slowly came back to his senses, but when he opened his mouth, his words were still somewhat awkward.
"No... no problem, but Your Excellency... do you really want to accept our commission?"
Li Shanren raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't you give me any reward?"
"No...no, about the reward...we...that..."
The burly man hesitated, and the last bit of pressure on his body disappeared instantly, revealing a naive expression.
"Well, Barrett, let me speak."
At this time, the girl with red eyes standing aside finally couldn't help it anymore and spoke.
When the burly man heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Sir, regarding the remuneration, we have agreed in advance. We have no money to pay you for the time being."
The girl with red eyes looked at Li Shanren and said. She spoke much more fluently, but after saying these words, her face was still slightly red, and she seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
"You mean you can't pay for it right now, so you have to wait until later to get enough money? Well, I understand, so after you get the money, how much are you going to give me at least?"
Li Shanren asked without changing his expression. This situation had already been among several possibilities he had expected, so he would not be surprised.
"It's like this. We previously accepted a commission to hunt down the Gale Wolf King. The other party gave a very high reward, but our manpower is not enough to deal with the wolf king, so we need to recruit a magician. divisions or archers, as long-range support, to assist us.”
"Originally, we just wanted to recruit a junior archer or magic apprentice, but we didn't expect that a junior magician like you would come, so... I don't know if our remuneration can match yours. Mind?"
The girl with red eyes said this.
"Well, so, how much is it?" Li Shanren's expression remained the same.
"The final reward for that commission is one thousand silver pesos, and we plan to split two hundred and fifty silver pesos as a reward for hiring you."
The red-eyed girl raised two fingers while carefully observing Li Shanren's expression. Seeing that there was no change in his mood and he still looked cold, she thought he was dissatisfied, so she immediately added:
"If...if you are not satisfied, we can give you three hundred, but that's all we can get at most."
Do you need to expose your bottom line so quickly?
Compared to the burly man who looked majestic but was actually honest, the red-eyed girl in front of him was a bit mean-spirited, but... not much.
"No, just two hundred and fifty." Li Shanren took a deep breath and said.
Here, he took the initiative to take a step back, not because he didn't want to get more, but... he didn't dare.
Although these three do not look particularly shrewd, Li Shanren is very self-aware of himself. He is just a crappy magician who can shoot four-shot magic stone with almost no fighting qualities. Among these real people, In front of the extraordinary person, he is a complete novice.
Although relying on the created characters to give these people the impression of "looking great", lies are lies and cannot stand the test, so leaving a thin line at this time will not be too embarrassing even if they are exposed.
Moreover, this seems to be evenly distributed according to the number of people. For a gangster, being able to distribute the remuneration evenly is already a profit. Two hundred silver pesos is also a big fortune.
Well, here is a brief introduction. One silver peso is probably the minimum food expenditure for a city resident for a month. Below it is the copper peso, and above it is the gold peso. The three currencies are advanced according to the percentage system, that is, one gold peso can exchange it for a hundred silver pesos, and so on.
"Eh?"
The red-eyed girl was a little surprised. According to her assumption, the other party would most likely leave in anger. After all, with three hundred silver pesos, it was impossible to recruit a junior magician to participate in the battle. Only some archers who were short of money would. I was willing to join them, but I didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent magician actually agreed and took a step back, asking only for 20% of the reward.
"However, I have an additional condition. Of course, you should be able to meet this condition." Li Shanren said unhurriedly.
"please say."
"This is my first time here. I don't have a guild badge yet. I need you to help me apply for it."
"Oh, we can help with this, but do you have any difficulties that you can't handle by yourself? ... Well, if it's not convenient for you to say, forget it."
"Well, it's not a big deal. It's just that before I came here, I accidentally lost my belongings, so now I am penniless." Li Shanren told lies seriously.
"Eh?!"
......
Under the gentle smile of the lady at the front desk, Li Shanren got a black iron-level guild badge as he wished. The procedure cost a total of fifty copper pesos, which was not much, but it was also half a month's food expenses for an ordinary family.
Of course, he didn't pay for it.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Lithern would encounter such an unfortunate thing."
The red-eyed girl looked at her shriveled purse with few copper coins left, and sighed deeply. If their commission could not be completed in time, the three of them would be sleeping on the street in a few days.
This team looks surprisingly poor.
Li Shanren, who looked back and saw this scene, thought silently. He had thought that the team he was looking for would be relatively poor, but he did not expect that they would be so poor that they would not have much money left.
Well, by the way, "Lisern" is the name Li Shanren uses now. It is actually a homophony of his real name. When he just went downstairs, he also learned the names and occupations of everyone in this three-person team.
Among them, the burly man who looks majestic but is actually honest is named Basat. He is a giant sword warrior. As the name suggests, his weapon is a broad sword half the height of a man. He can attack and defend, and his power is far beyond that of ordinary people.
The red-eyed girl wearing boxing gloves and smartly dressed is named Tifa (this name makes Li Shanren feel inexplicably familiar). She is a martial artist who is proficient in physical skills, has an agile body, and is good at attacking.
The last, taciturn and somewhat shy young man was a pharmacist named Eivor.
Eivor exists as a combat support in the team. He often carries many healing and detoxifying potions. Of course, there are also some potions with "paralysis" and "slumber" effects, but not many, and he belongs to a support unit.
Pharmacists are actually a derivative profession under the "mage" system. They use part of their mental power to improve their vision and smell, and can keenly discover herbs with special effects, and use certain formulas to prepare herbs with various properties. A potion with extraordinary effects.
The work of preparing potions is beyond the reach of ordinary people, because in order to obtain extraordinary potions, not only do you need specific materials, but you also need the pharmacist to use his mental power to mobilize the ubiquitous mysterious energy from the outside world to activate the effects contained in the potion.
Even if ordinary people mix the potion step by step, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it will be no different from the potion used by civilians.
By the way, one more thing, although Eivor looks only about fourteen years old, he is actually seventeen, but he looks... relatively young.
......
"Mr. Leathern, do you have anything else to deal with today?"
After walking out of the guild hall, Tifa turned around and asked.
"No, I'm very free today." Li Shanren shook his head and said.
"If you don't mind, let's go to the forest outside the city to find the Wind Wolf King in a little while! Mr. Lithern, do you have anything else to prepare?"
"No...no, I'm ready."
"In that case, let's accompany Basat to get his weapons first!"
Tifa clenched her fists, looking full of motivation.
Afterwards, the four of them went to a small weapons shop and retrieved a broad and heavy black iron giant sword from the owner of the shop, an old and strong weapons craftsman.
The dark sword was covered with various scratches, silently telling the battles that this weapon had experienced. At this time, it had been properly maintained, and the surface was repainted with a layer of good sword oil, restoring it to its peak condition. In the best condition, it will definitely be very powerful when wielded, giving people a full sense of security.
Although this black iron giant sword is half a man tall, but this is relative to Basat. The hilt of this giant sword can only reach Basat's waist.
For Li Shanren, this terrifying weapon is almost as tall as him.
This made Li Shanren feel a little chilled when he saw this sword for the first time. Fortunately, this burly man was his teammate, otherwise he would have died on the spot if he was hit by such a thing.
After getting back Basat's beloved sword, the group immediately left the city. Along the way, Li Shanren tried his best to maintain the aloof persona he had created, and did not speak as much as possible.
However, Tifa seemed to take special care of this new teammate. During the journey, she explained to him in detail the key points of dealing with the Storm Wolf King, but interspersed with various random topics, such as weather, food, clothes, etc. Things will always inadvertently deviate from the main content.
When faced with important content, Li Shanren will listen very carefully and write down the points that need attention one by one. When faced with other matters, he can only nod slightly and occasionally respond with a few words.
By the way, the leader of this three-person team is actually Tifa, but in many external negotiations, Basat, who is more oppressive, usually takes the lead, while Tifa and Eivor make suggestions behind the scenes.
Of course, this does not mean that Tifa, as the captain, has absolute leadership over other team members. It is just that Tifa's name is indeed filled in the captain's column in the Extraordinary Team Registration Book.
Thinking of their extremely random team names, the so-called captain should also be filled in casually. There is no such thing as who leads whom.
This casual attitude suits the taste of Lieping Master Li Shanren.
