I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 7, ready to go

In this world, sometimes signing a commission contract is not a simple verbal agreement, or it is as simple as signing a contract and registering it in the mercenary guild.

The correct procedure for signing a commission contract is that both parties sign the contract and each sign their names, and then they must go to the church of Jupiter, the lord of heaven, to seek the help of a priest. After reviewing the contract and confirming the wishes of both parties, the priest will let both parties Swear according to Jupiter's scripture "Sunner", so that the contract can be considered as signed.

This kind of contract is extremely difficult to deny, because this is a world with gods. After the gods have notarized it, if one party breaks the contract, what awaits will be a terrifying divine punishment.

It's a pity that Samir was in a hurry, and there was a queue to sign the entrustment contract, so the two parties could only settle for the next best thing and go to the mercenary guild to find a notary.

The notaries of Rezland are famous for their trustworthiness, and this class is generally held by local nobles or landowners with outstanding reputation.

Being a notary is not a corrupt or easy job, on the contrary, notaries need experience and credibility.In Rezland, there is even a famous notary family that has been in business for more than a dozen generations without a single breach of contract. The national debt of the empire is not as reliable as the notary certificate of the notary in Rezland.

"Vision gives you benefits, integrity gives you everything."

—Rizlan Notary

Therefore, after saying that the contract is possible, it means that the entrustment has been negotiated, and then Sid should immediately go to find mercenaries. This is also the responsibility of the mercenary intermediary. Even though he can eat both ends, he still has responsibilities , He is going to find a mercenary to accept the commission. If the commission goes wrong, Mr. Samir will only trouble Sid. If the mercenary is killed or injured, only Sid needs to take responsibility.

"Bob, have two glasses of the best mead." Sid took out two silver shillings, and he showed a polite but sincere smile: "Have a nice cooperation!"

"coming!"

"Happy cooperation." Frieden Samir smiled. He took the mead from the bartender, but didn't drink it: "Have you thought of a good candidate?"

"Please wait a moment for this." The other party was really impatient, and Sid could only swallow the mead: "I'm going to look around to see if there are any suitable mercenaries."

"Isn't there a suitable person in front of you?" Samir's ordinary face was full of smiles, and he seemed very satisfied with the result.

Sid was silent for a while, he knew what Samir was talking about, the beautiful boy turned his head silently.

Two old knights of the Raven Knights were already standing behind him and Samir. Seeing the beautiful boy turn his head, the thick-browed old knight stared at Sid with "sincere" eyes: "Little brother, do you Encountered difficulties, do you need our help?"

"..." Seeing Mr. Samir's unfathomable gaze, Sid couldn't say a word.

He understands too well.

In the past few years, most of the principalities under the Holy Empire have encountered some minor difficulties. The Raven Knights in front of them are a vivid example.

In the Holy Empire, the income of the Knights mainly comes from three aspects, the first is the land and manor of the Knights, the second is the appropriation or franchise income of the superior principality or the Black Eagle Court, such as customs duties or trade rights, and the third is from the Large donations from related parties, such as nobles who need the Knights to protect their lives and property.

However, as far as Sid knows, many knight orders have been in financial difficulties over the years, unable to send money at all, and large donations are rare, and the livelihood of the knight orders can only be placed on the Principality or the Black Eagle Court. However, most of the time, local governments can't distribute that much money, and it is obviously impossible to expect that one or two manors can support so many knights in the Knights Order.

Therefore, a large number of knights began to develop sidelines, and gradually changed their taste.

Sid thinks it’s time to change the name of many no-name knights. They should be called XX Training Institution, XX Private Loan Company, XX Freight, XX Passenger, XX Spinach Company or XX Club instead of Knights. Many Knights don’t have one The knights did not have a sword, and there were even some famous knights from the second and third dynasties.

The current emperor of the Holy Empire, the seventh emperor of the sixth dynasty, Sun Emperor Isaac, once ordered that "the knights are not allowed to do business" and "the knights of the empire must eat 'imperial food'".

For those miscellaneous knights, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so don't worry so much, anyway, they are not knights in essence.

The Raven Knights are different. This knights are the knights directly under the Raven Principality, and the Raven Principality is a relative of the Black Eagle Central Dynasty. After the Griffin Principality entered the Holy White City, it was renamed the Raven Principality. It is impossible for the knights to really come out to do business, and as the knights directly under the principality, it is impossible for them to be bad.

Therefore, when the Raven Knights have no missions, they need to come out to make a living and earn some extra money.

But the emperor ordered that business activities are not allowed, so what should we do?
It doesn't matter, there are always more ways than difficulties. Many knights who come out to earn extra money spend all day thinking about "doing things that violate the orders in a way that does not violate the orders", and they really figured out a way.

First of all, find a qualified intermediary like Sid to help them take the task.

Then, as Sid's "good friend", knowing that Sid "encountered" a difficult task that was "beyond expectations", these chivalry models full of "chivalry" naturally want to promote chivalry and help their friends Get the job done.

Mission accomplished, Sid was "overwhelmed with gratitude" to his "knight friends" and volunteered to "gift" most of the bounty to them.

Perfect, this is a "big donation" from one of the legitimate income of the Knights, no one can fault it.

This is not the first time Sid has undertaken such a thing.

Instinctively speaking, Sid is not willing to deal with this group of knights. The knights have many rules, travel is troublesome, and they don't like such disgraceful things as ambushes and sneak attacks. However, considering the urgent time of the commission, we will set off tomorrow, and the number of enemies is large. There are a lot of goblins and fast centaurs, the knights deal with them just right, and Sid himself plans to run away after finishing this ticket, he doesn't want to make any more troubles.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Bauer, and his name is David." The thick-browed old knight and the bald-headed old knight said to Sid: "We are all knights of the Raven Knights, and we are here to help you complete the task. This is Moltke, Apprentice knight."

"Hi, I'm Moltke, Moltke-Brazer, nice to meet you." The young trainee knight also stood up.

"Three typical steps?" Sid observed for a while: "What else?"

"We still have 8 cornerstone servants and 4 beginner apprentices." The thick-browed old knight was a little dissatisfied with Sid's attitude: "We have so many people, enough to help you solve the problem, but just some goblins And the centaur, you will be responsible for watching it when the time comes! Watch how our Raven Knight will deal with them."

"A total of 16 people?" Sid estimated in his heart, thinking that it was about the same. These people should be enough. It goes without saying that they can be a formal knight. The knights are fully equipped, and they are enough.

"Then we can prepare to sign the contract. After drinking this glass of wine, let's go to the Mercenary Guild to register." Sid nodded.

"The beginning of the story is always so smooth." Frieden Samir laughed, and he stood up.

A sword protruding from the gorgeous robes caught Sid's attention.

This is a swift sword, the hilt is half gold and half silver threaded on some unknown metal, and the weight-bearing ball is inlaid with shimmering crystal spheres.

The sword grid is a pair of gorgeous wings spread out, the blade length is about 1.3 meters, and the lower part of the blade is the symbol of Jupiter, the lord of heaven-the golden sun octagonal ring pattern, but the center of the sun octagonal pattern Not the golden orb or the face of Jupiter, but Sid's favorite iron cross of the skull.

The upper half of the blade was shrouded in dazzling aura and put into the scabbard, and a pair of light-cast wings could be vaguely seen, which was Sid's favorite golden double-headed eagle pattern, shaking with the scabbard.

"It's a beautiful sword." Sid said to Frieden, he was very interested in this sword, it was simply his dream weapon: "Where did you get it?"

"This is not my sword, I'm only using it temporarily." Seeing that Sid was interested in his sword, Frieden Samir said a few more words with great interest: "It is indeed a good sword, but One day I will give it back to someone else."

"Give it back to whom? Who can forge such a sword?" Sid took another look.

"Who knows? Maybe it's you." The middle-aged man didn't want to go on, and he signaled that he could start.

Sid was really interested in this sword. He even wanted to ask why Mr. Samir, who had such a good weapon, didn't solve the problem himself, but spent four or five times the price of normal people to hire mercenaries. The fat that reaches the mouth does not count if it is not swallowed, and it is Sid's habit to try not to say more than necessary.

Everything is finalized, so there is no need to say more about the next thing. The group of them came to the mercenary guild. Mr. Frieden Samir and Sid found the most credible Baron Merz notarization in the local area, except for 75 gold The deposit of ecu, and the remaining 425 gold ecu were handed over to the mercenary guild, waiting for the task to be completed.

Frieden Samir would not go with them, and the client's business was over.

Sid and the thick-browed old knight, the bald old knight and others will continue to sign a help contract, representing the knights coming to help Sid complete his task.

In private, Sid also negotiated terms with the Raven Knights. For the bounty of 500 gold ecu, Sid unilaterally took 30% of the reward, which was 150 gold ecu, and the rest The bounty of 350 gold crowns is distributed among the raven knights, and the gold cup is considered a private gift.

If the Raven Knights fail to complete the task well and Sid is forced to take action, then Sid's rake will be increased to 50%.

The two old knights were obviously a little dissatisfied with Sid's high commission, but Samir's commission was a task with a bounty that exceeded the standard, and overall it was still very lucrative, so they didn't say much.

The two parties agreed to set off from Helvetia early the next morning, charter a few "Xunfeng Passenger Transport" carriages, and arrive at the foot of Dufour Peak first, and then they will spend a day and a half over the mountain to reach their destination land.

Not much to say, the knights went back to prepare, while Sid went to check Sir Hoffman's office again worriedly.

Everything is normal, but Sir Hoffman's living habits seem to have changed a lot after that. His current rhythm of life is basically like a robot. He goes to work at nine o'clock in the morning, eats at [-]:[-] noon, and leaves work at five o'clock in the afternoon. , even the clock in the church is not as punctual as Hoffman.

Sid wanted to investigate again. The time was not allowed, so he had to swallow the question in his stomach. Anyway, this was probably the last time he and Hoffman met.

………I am the dividing line of the last meeting………

When Samir came out of the mercenary guild, he silently read a few words of unknown meaning, and the summer-like warmth on his face instantly turned into winter-like deep cold.

The plan has already started, and I hope this time it will be different from the previous ones.

Samir reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he looked down at the sword that Sid praised so much.

This is a two-handed long sword with a blade length of 1.5 meters. It is full of rust, and there are many gaps the size of rice grains on the blade. If you look closely, the gaps are burning with the fire of purgatory.

Helvetia was crowded with people, and the vicinity of the Mercenary Guild was even more crowded, but no one noticed Frieden Samir and his sword, as if this person did not exist at all.

This seems to be his normal state.

Samir originally planned to be more low-key, because his status is really not suitable for high-profile.

So, here it goes?

Yes, here it goes.

Samir raised his head, looked at the statue of Jupiter standing in the middle of the street, and whispered, "Don't give up your dream, keep sleeping."

Ding—a lightning-like mental bombardment came from a distance in an instant, and the oncoming purple ripples made the middle-aged man instantly clenched the two-handed sword at his waist.

In this place, is it possible to discover my existence? !
He saw a young girl standing across the street.

A girl smiling at Samir.

There were still countless people in the middle of the line of sight of the two sides. The two sides should not be able to see each other, but the moment the girl appeared, Samir's eyes locked on the girl tightly. His sight penetrated about seven or eight people's bodies. .

The girl has an astonishing beauty, her long black hair is gorgeous and full of luster tied into two ponytails, her skin is as white and smooth as pearls.The neck exposed outside the collar is quite slender, and it seems that it will break with a little force.

Long bangs covered half of the girl's face, one wine-red pupil exuded a dangerous and intoxicating aura, the other eye could only see a little golden spark from the gap between the bangs, the girl's He is not tall, less than 1.6 meters, and his lips, which are as delicate as cherry blossom petals, are opening and closing slightly.

The dark black and white-edged college uniform jacket is the standard uniform of a college on the mainland. Not only does it not feel sacred and inviolable when worn on a girl's body, but it gives people a certain impulsive allure. The white girl The shirt is exposed from the cuffs and neckline, with cat paw patterns on it, and the red ribbon is tied at the neckline. Under the dark blue pleated skirt with black borders, the girl's tender and skinny slender legs are wrapped in black opaque jumpsuits In the socks, on the feet are a pair of small black women's leather shoes.

The girl showed a playful and lovely smile towards Samir, her cherry lips opened and closed: "Good day~"

Samir understood.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, and he never let go of the sword on his waist. Facing the girl's question, he just nodded slightly.

The girl smiled, her smile was very sweet, but it gave off an extremely dangerous aura.

How could He appear here? "Samir was a little uncertain.

Seeing Samir's nervous expression, the girl smiled so much that she showed her teeth. From a cute and sweet smile to a ferocious and frightening laugh, she transformed so naturally and roundly.

Turning around and walking into the shadows, the girl disappeared, leaving only Samir with a strange face.

Has "Him" even come?
This time is really different!
It's getting more and more interesting!The middle-aged man glanced back at the mercenary guild, nodded, and stepped into the crowd. His figure disappeared on the street of Helvetia without a trace, as if Frieden Samir Never been the same.
