Travels of the Necromancer

This time the mission was finally set to S rank, and the bonus was raised to 2000 gold coins, which is definitely a huge fortune for the mercenaries.Therefore, after Noah and other team members recovered, the entire Ford team also held a small celebration. Although it was not as lively as the mercenary guild, it was more warm.

The glasses filled with ale collided together, foam and liquor splashed, and before drinking, the wine in the glasses was reduced by half.Although I personally can't understand this kind of waste of food, but others are very happy, so I reluctantly followed suit.

After completing the task alive, everyone relaxed, and everyone in the mercenary team naturally revealed another side that I didn't know, or the real side?

Drinking, punching, discussing women, scolding those bastards in the mercenary guild and the temple.Nick chased people around to fight for wine, taking pleasure in driving others down.In the end, most of the mercenaries really got down on the ground, and fell to the ground in various unsightly postures.

When the sky is twilight, the only ones who can sit on the chair properly are me, Noah and Lai.

"What are your plans for the future?" I asked in the midst of snoring.

"Rest for a while before taking on the mission." Lai didn't drink much, and he was the one who kept calm in the team most of the time.

"Noah, what about you?"

"Me? Of course I will continue to travel with you."

"I mean, don't you consider staying in the Ford team?" Noah liked the atmosphere of the Ford team very much, and the members of the team also admired Noah's martial arts and character.Noah's command ability is also good, and he can still keep calm in the few moments when Ley is not calm, so in the later stage of the mission, he has become the de facto deputy captain of the Ford team.

For me, being a mercenary is just a part of traveling, and I always choose difficult and "interesting" tasks.As for Noah, mercenary is his profession, and he should choose tasks such as "escort business group" with low risk and high return. From this point of view, a formal mercenary team is more suitable for him.

"Lei did invite me. If I want to join the mercenary team in the future, I will definitely choose the Ford team." Noah smiled and took a sip of beer, "However, I don't have this plan yet. In fact , I think traveling with you is a very good trial."

Uh, may I take this comment as a compliment.

However, this also means that Noah and I will part with the Ford team.I glanced at Lai. Although the fact that the poaching failed was exposed, he still had no expression, and naturally he couldn't see the "sentimental parting" often mentioned in dramas.As for myself, I feel a little bit, but it is different from the fear of "losing" and the strong anxiety in the wasteland. It is a more subtle and indescribable feeling, just like sour oranges, which are not very tasty. But not too much to eat.Probably because of this separation, we are full of hope to meet again.

To sum up, emotion is indeed a difficult thing to learn, and it is really remarkable that people can classify and name it in detail.

"Then, let's have another drink for the next cooperation." Finally, I suggested.

The three wine glasses collided heavily.

My drinking capacity is actually not very good. I was able to last until the end because I was busy eating and didn’t drink much. After drinking a few more glasses, I was really drunk. When I was knocked on the door the next day, my head was still It's a dull pain.

When I opened the door, I saw Nick's smiling face.It's just that his smile at the moment seems to be different from his usual hippie smile.

"Chris, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"Lai just said that he would let you rest, so you went on vacation so soon?"

"Freya and I are going to Ted's hometown." Nick put his hand on the badge on his chest, and I recognized it as Ted's mercenary badge, "He also has a mother and a younger brother at home, I want to Give them the reward for this mission and his relic."

I was silent for a moment.Nick and Ted have always had a good relationship, but they didn't even see each other for the last time.And Freya hasn't fully recovered so far, and didn't even attend yesterday's celebration party.

"What kind of expression do you have!" Nick laughed again, "From the first day we became mercenaries, we knew that we would face death and danger at any time. Live every day."

Before I could express my feelings about this positive emotion, Nick showed a very gossip expression again: "For example, boss, have you noticed that he has an extra ring on his finger, and I don't know which cult it is from." Sent by his beauty."

"Oh, that one, I gave it to you."

"What?!" As soon as my voice fell, Nick jumped up.

"Is there a problem?" I was a little surprised by Nick's violent reaction.

"No wonder the boss never goes out with us, no wonder he is not interested in beautiful women at all, so he likes..." Nick just talked to himself, completely ignoring my question.

Suddenly, he grabbed my shoulder: "Chris, we will leave it to you as the boss!"

What's the situation, do you want me to protect Ley in battle?But generally it seems that warriors should protect magicians. Forget it, I can still do it with my strength.So I nodded blankly.

"Ha! Such breaking news, I have to tell others. Chris, I'm leaving first!"

Looking at Nick's back, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this guy's emotional ups and downs are really great.

Freya and Nick left before lunch, seeing them off, and I went back to my room to meditate for two hours.But when I went to the lobby for lunch, I don't know if it was my illusion. I found that all the players looked at me very strangely.

And when Lai appeared, everyone looked away in unison as if they had made an agreement, eat what they should eat, drink what they should drink, and laugh what should be laughed, as if it was just my hallucination.

Everyone else had already taken all the seats, and there was only one vacant seat across from me, so Ley sat across from me right there.At this time, there seemed to be a sound of exclamation in my ears, but when I wanted to find the source of the sound, I found that everyone was eating their meals extremely seriously.

Lai didn't seem to feel the weird atmosphere around him, and talked to me as usual: "Our team is going to rest here until the end of the month, what about you and Noah?"

"I haven't had any interesting missions recently. I'm going to look through the mission lists of other countries later."

"Where's Noah?"

"He sent a letter. You should know about the undead creature riot in Skeleton City. He was taken care of by a therapist in Juniper Town. He just received news today that the therapist was fine, so he immediately wrote Greeting letter."

While we were chatting, the waiter of the guild brought a man into the hall, and the position pointed to by the waiter was the corner where Ley and I were sitting.

"Who is that, I seem to know you?" I watched the joyful man approaching quickly.

"To be precise, he knows us." Ley replied in a low voice without changing his expression, "You have to be careful, he knows Kate."

Immediately he stood up and walked out and I immediately followed.

"Lai, you are indeed here. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Ah! Lord Roselle, you are here too. I didn't expect you to use an alias. It was very hard for me to find you." The man who spoke was 30 years old. On the left and right, Fangfang's face is plain, but the flattering smile on his face makes people feel uncomfortable.

"It's been a long time, Dewey. But I still have something to do. I'm sorry I don't have time to catch up with you." Lai's response was quite cold, completely ignoring the hand that the man named Dewey extended, and walked directly out of the hall.

In order to avoid being exposed, I didn't speak, and followed Lei silently.

Dewey hurriedly followed: "I really don't want to disturb you two, but..."

"It's about the mission, please forgive me for being rude." Seeing that we still ignored his meaning, he simply ran in front of us and blocked our way: "I am entrusted by the Roselle family to find Lord Russell's."

"Luo, uh, you mean my family's entrustment?"

"Yes, here is a letter for you, my lord." After speaking, Dewey took out a letter from his arms, and the seal of the letter was printed with the family emblem of the Roselle family.

"Your Excellency has been traveling for three years and there has been no news. All the adults in the family are very anxious, so they issued a mission in the Mercenary Guild to find news about you." Dewey handed the envelope to me with both hands, "I am in Silver Moon. I was lucky enough to meet you once when I was in the mercenary group, so I accepted this task. Mr. Steward asked me to hand over this letter to you. I think Ley must know about you. I didn’t expect to see you in person now. Please Accept this letter!"

I glanced at Ley and took the letter.

"Thank you very much, then, my mission is complete!" Dewey saluted me, then took five steps back respectfully according to noble etiquette, and then turned and left.

"You don't seem to like him, isn't he your former companion?" After Dewey left, I couldn't help asking Lai, it was the first time he expressed his disdain for someone so bluntly.

"People from the Holy Sword Mercenary Group are not my companions."

Now I understand.The members of Kate and Ley's original team all died at the hands of the Holy Sword Mercenary Group. It can be said that Ley has a blood feud with the Holy Sword.However, the Yinyue mercenary group was annexed by the holy sword after they failed in the struggle with the holy sword. It turned out that the silver moon mercenaries joined the holy sword one after another.Naturally, Lai couldn't agree with this approach, so he left the mercenary group and became a free mercenary.He got acquainted with new companions in missions again and again, and only then did he have the current Ford team.For him, those who choose to stay in Holy Sword are no longer companions.

I followed Ley to his room, and I handed him the letter directly, and then began to place the soundproof spell in the room.

"What was written in the letter?" I asked after finishing the spell.

"Because Kate has been missing for a long time, the elders in the family want to hold a family meeting to cancel Kate's inheritance rights." Putting down the letter, Lai looked a little serious.

That's it, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me... Well, so far I don't think I will get involved in any of the things that I think have nothing to do with me.In fact, when I saw Lai's serious expression, I knew that things would be troublesome: "Tell me, what are your plans?"

"Chris, I have a commission, would you accept it?"
