I have a city in another world

Chapter 6885 Employment and Planting

The young mercenaries gathered together for a moment and expressed their willingness to take on the mission.

Since the mercenary group was established, it has never accepted any missions from outside, which is something that makes all members anxious and frustrated.

They have been trying to find ways to market and prove themselves, but with little success.

Standing out from countless mercenary groups is by no means an easy task; it often requires connections and background, as well as accepting certain unspoken rules.

If one is unwilling to accept the rules and refuses to compromise with reality, one will inevitably face exclusion and punishment from those who control the interests.

After they've learned their lesson, they'll become obedient and compliant.

And then there are the unlucky ones who lose their lives in a completely daze.

This applies to all walks of life, where various unspoken rules tarnish many brilliant dreams.

Although it was unclear whether Yves was reliable, the young mercenaries were willing to take the risk and gamble on their tomorrow and future.

After reaching an agreement, a contract was immediately signed, and the employment relationship was established.

This mercenary squad will begin its mission immediately, and someone will be on night watch tonight.

In the event of any abnormal situation, we will immediately switch to combat mode and respond within a short period of time.

These are all combat procedures that must be familiarized after becoming a mercenary. Although the team members have experienced many simulations, they have never had a real combat experience.

Now that I'm finally getting to practice, I can't help but feel a little nervous and excited, as well as a heavy sense of responsibility.

This kind of mentality would never appear in a seasoned veteran. They have experienced too much and have long since become indifferent. Most of the time, they just go through the motions.

Not long after, a slender elf with long legs and a slim waist came downstairs.

Although he wore a hood that covered most of his face, experienced people could still recognize him.

The foreign races in the outside world are mostly servants, the private property of wealthy and noble families.

Elves are rarely seen in public places; they are mostly kept in enclosed spaces.

The mercenary squad members were indeed somewhat surprised to see a female elf suddenly appear before them.

Carrying a plate of fruit, the female elf went back upstairs, her gaze sweeping over a group of young mercenaries.

Finally, the gaze landed on the blonde woman, who nodded slightly, and then left without saying a word.

"Captain, does that elf know you?"

The team members around him asked, their tone filled with doubt and curiosity.

"I do not know her."

The blonde captain shook her head. She herself had some doubts. Although she had seen elves a few times before, they were definitely not the people in front of her.

Sitting beside him, Yves said in a casual tone, "Because she felt kindness and blessings from her people in you."

Upon hearing this, the blonde female captain looked thoughtful, then smiled and thanked Yves.

If it weren't for this explanation, she would have remained confused for a long time. Although it was just a small matter, if one cares about it, one cannot treat it as a trivial matter.

Tonight is destined to be long, and many people are preoccupied with their own thoughts until dawn.

When the mercenary squad members woke up, they saw more elves. They had delicate features and wore similar light-colored clothing. They came down from the upper floors of the inn one after another.

The mercenary squad members were all dumbfounded; they had never seen such a lineup before.

For a moment, they even mistakenly thought that some great nobleman had come to live here, and their words and actions became more cautious.

In the eyes of ordinary people, nobles are like gods, untouchable. Ordinary cultivators also dare not be too presumptuous in front of nobles, because the nobles are rich and powerful and can hire cultivators to serve them.

The monks in the slave-catching team all accepted patronage from the great nobles, serving as their henchmen and lackeys.

Yves came over and told them not to be too nervous, as these elves were also members of the team.

These spirits are also protected.

Are you kidding me?
Hearing Yves say this, several mercenary members couldn't help but mutter to themselves, these elves are obviously cultivators, stronger than them, so why would they need protection?
This idea is correct, but not entirely correct. Although a group of elves have awakened to transcendence and become true cultivators, their combat experience is almost zero.

They knew very little about the tactics and equipment of the outside world, so it was inevitable that they would suffer losses when fighting against the enemy under such circumstances.

Yves hired this team partly to serve as sparring partners, so they could get to know each other and learn to cooperate, thus avoiding being at a disadvantage in future battles.

Through covert observation, Yves was able to determine that this group of young people had received a very authentic education.

His meticulous movements, full of academic style, clearly came from a mercenary school.

Compared to veteran mercenaries, they only lack experience and a slick, perfunctory demeanor.

If it were one of those seasoned veterans, Yves certainly wouldn't trust them; they would always have all sorts of ulterior motives, and might even be secretly plotting against him.

These young mercenaries are much simpler in their thinking, and when they are asked to act as sparring partners and impart their experience, they basically do not hold back.

After breakfast, the group of elves did not return upstairs, but instead dug up flowers and plants and arranged them around the roadside outside the inn.

Such bizarre behavior inevitably raises questions.

The hotel owner didn't stop him, because just now, Yves had renewed the lease again, this time paying for a whole year's rent.

Such a high-quality long-term employer is hard to come by normally, so how could the shop owner refuse to modify the outdoor environment?

If you're not satisfied, you can change it back when the lease ends.

Ashe, the female elf who acts as the spokesperson, is in charge of directing her people to plant crops, and after watering and fertilizing, she will recite a spell.

The incantation resembles an elven language, but its pronunciation is quite different, accompanied by a strange rhythm, as if a small-scale ritual is being performed.

Upon hearing the incantation, the other elves looked at Aisha with curiosity, guessing that this must be another secret technique taught by Tang Zhen.

The elves were filled with awe and secretly grateful for Tang Zhen's strength and abilities.

They firmly believed that Tang Zhen was an emissary sent by the gods to save the elves and reverse their unfortunate fate.

It is an honor for the elves to follow him, and they will eventually witness a legend.

Their participation will be recorded in a glorious epic, making them famous throughout the history of the Elven race.

The elves obeyed Tang Zhen's orders unconditionally, without ever asking for specific reasons.

The female elf Ashe chanted spells and taught them to her people, instructing them to chant the spells in front of the plants every so often.

This matter is very important; it concerns their lives and safety, and it absolutely cannot be handled carelessly or perfunctorily.

Aisha's serious tone made the female elves realize that things were far from simple, so they were all exceptionally serious when doing things.

The mercenary squad led by the blonde woman did not participate in the planting; instead, they were responsible for daily patrols and guard duties.

This small inn outside the city has been used as a long-term location, and they have finally gotten their own rooms.

Up until now, the mercenaries believed that the elves were simply cultivating flowers, herbs, and sentiments, and did not find anything unusual about it.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. Although Yves wasn't a true expert, he sensed that these flowers and plants were anything but simple and must possess some unknown, special effects.
