Chris's Faith of Fire

Both of them nodded to this.

"We have nothing now. Do you know what is the most important thing if you want to do great things? Fami~"

"Eh? It's...what, the army?"

"You must learn to see the essential things, the army, supplies, and people's hearts... These things are inseparable from one word, and that is funds. Unfortunately, this is also what we lack most now."

Everyone just saw the empty money bag.

"I just calculated that the cotton clothes and food rations prepared for going up the mountain cost hundreds of Aprils. At the same time, I have to deduct 20 Aprils of rent per day. We also forgot to calculate a very important expenditure item just now, that is the guide. The cost, I think this is definitely not cheap.”

Calculated this way, it is not necessarily possible to earn at least one hundred Aprils a day. We have to stay here for at least a week, which is undoubtedly a death sentence for us now. Wanted orders often arrive in other cities within a week.

Although this place is small, the nobles of Chijiu and Anatolia will never forget such an important location in Hengyan Mountain.

"I knew I should have sold the carriage here..." Alyssa seemed a little regretful.

"No, things with official marks cannot be sold for much. I remember that there were signs of wind-wrapped rapiers everywhere on the carriage."

"Then sell the horse."

"We cannot do without horses, either to advance or to escape."

Having said this, Fami sat up from the ground.

"Now that the purpose is clear, there is no need to think too much. We feel that we should complete the commission. If it is an intermediate or upper level difficulty, it is not difficult to earn 100 Aprils a day, but there are disadvantages."

"It's easy to become famous."

Fami nodded.

"Except for Alyssa, we have all registered at the mercenary station. This sign is bound by magic... If it becomes famous, it will be easily exposed."

"That's it... Then I can just register under a false name."

The knight girl was a little impatient.

That won't work. She looks very weak and slender... In fact, she is also the weakest among us. If she does this, she will be exposed faster.

"Don't worry, I have a good way."

I told them that the thieves organization taught me a lot.

Chapter 133 133. Reputation and career path——2

The next day, I woke up early at dawn.

The three of them had been arguing about how to sleep last night. In the end, they were so sleepy that they fell on the bed and fell asleep together.

When I woke up the next day, I had a severe headache. Maybe it was because the room was so bad and I didn't get enough rest...

After waking up, I quickly took a shower in the bathroom, and when I was about to go out, Alyssa came too.

"I woke up very early..."

"Well, because I can't sleep at all."

"You rarely sleep in this kind of hotel?"

"Yes, but the main reason is that three people are a bit too crowded."

As I said that, I looked at the girl's breasts, and she immediately covered them as if she noticed my gaze.

"I'll charge you if you look again!"

"Wouldn't it be better to grow smaller?"

"There will be ghosts if you can do it."

We haven’t been together for long, but through this little quarrel back and forth, Alyssa and I gradually became familiar with each other, and I naturally didn’t forget that we were a team.

After returning to the musty room, I found Fami packing his equipment.

He took a piece of cloth and carefully wiped his beloved sword as if he were a lover. The black pearl of the long sword sparkled in his hand.

"Good morning, Fami."

"Ah, good morning, Chris~ Did you just go take a shower?"

He asked, seeing my wet hair.

"Well, because I always feel a bit musty on my body, Fami had better go wash it off..."

"You look very cute today too."

"What did you say so suddenly?"

Fami always says something that makes people blush...

After all preparations were completed, we came to the mercenary station in the town. This building only has two floors. Generally speaking, a mercenary station is a complex building consisting of a pub and a dormitory, so the space is very large. In order to adapt to different ethnic groups, each mercenary station has The mercenaries who have this habit will also set up many facilities that suit everyone's habits, such as bone wine glasses that are more suitable for northern herdsmen and small chairs that make the Dwarf tribe more comfortable to sit on.

This is all because of the chain nature of mercenary stations. They have existed for many centuries and have already established communication channels that even the merchants of the Wind People admire. The founders of this extensive intelligence network are warriors and wizards. , bards, and merchants themselves.

"Even if you offend the king of a country, don't offend the Adventurer Mercenary Association."

I recalled a proverb I read in a novel. As it says, the power of the mercenary association is distributed throughout the continent, and those who are enemies of them will be hunted down by all mercenaries.

So now we have to be more careful not to reveal any flaws.

Alyssa put on a linen cloak today, and her petite body looked like a little bird sitting next to Fami.

"Don't lean over, it's very eye-catching."

In fact, no matter how much we put on makeup, others can recognize us at a glance as a group of kids, and two of them are girls.

Although it is very common for teenagers to run away from home and become adventurers, it is rare for three children to form a team. Generally speaking, an older warrior has a boy or girl working as an oddball in the team, and they will also join the team. Gradually grow in the process.

I asked for a glass of ale. Well, just one glass. We can't spend money randomly now.

It is the custom for mercenaries to ask for a glass of wine when they come here. When you pick up the glass, everyone's attention will shift away from you and return to their original conversation.

"Chris, I feel like your plan is a bit dangerous."

"Not at all."

Alyssa was a little suspicious of me, and I told them my plan last night.

For adventurers like us who cannot reveal our identities, the focus is on getting money rather than submitting quests.

Then it is best to let others do it.

We do it and let others do it.

However, whether the other party will agree is the difficulty of the plan, and it is also what thieves are good at.

Fami looked at the adventurers behind him without saying a word. They walked together in twos and threes and asked for commissions from the front desk. This was the daily routine of a mercenary. They accepted the commission, fought or traveled, completed the commission, came back to drink, and left a small amount of money. .

This is the way of life for soldiers. If you can maintain this way of life and persist for one year, you will be recognized by everyone, regardless of gender or age.

I followed Fami’s peripheral vision and glanced at the adventurers who accepted the mission.

It was a team of three, a warrior, a half-wizard carrying a staff and a sword, and a female warrior from the orc tribe.

"They accepted the mission to defeat the Harpy."

Fami spoke lightly, his voice was low, as if it was almost melting into the ale, and he only spoke to us.

Alyssa and I understood what he meant at the same time.

"Act now?"

Fami shook his head at Alyssa.

"In a while."

I picked up the ale and took a sip... The taste was really pungent, and any bar in the city of Rodeculosaint would be better than this one.

"Fami, I think they are not very old. What do you think of their strength? Can they complete this task?"

The leading warrior seems to be around 30 years old, but the half-wizard is petite and may be a girl... and the female warrior of the beast tribe has the liveliness unique to ethnic minority girls.

"They are going to Thunder Peak in Hengyan Mountain. Do you know why it is called that?"

"Fami, you are really good at selling things now."

"I'm sorry, because Chrissy's face of wondering is so cute."

"Can you hurry up and say no!"

Alyssa seemed impatient when I blushed. She stared at Fami looking quite dissatisfied.

The vampire boy raised his hand to signal not to speak too loudly. We can't attract too much attention now.

"Harpies are very strong, but not so strong that experienced adventurers cannot defeat them. Their feathers are gorgeous, and they usually capture human men, so this kind of request is usually made by women who have lost their husbands. The reward for defeating the harpy is relatively generous, so it is the best choice for novice adventurers and those who want to advance to mid-level strength."

"So you can tell from this that the strength of those three people is not very strong?"

Fami nodded.

"Their equipment is very ordinary, and they don't seem to have saved much money. However, there is Lei Xiao, the leader of the harpy, on that mountain. Her strength is not something ordinary adventurers can handle. The lightning she releases from her wings is like The punishment from heaven that falls from the clouds can turn people into charcoal with just one shot. The mercenaries here should all know this story very well."

It seems that Fami has accumulated a lot of travel experience in the past period, and I am amazed by his growth.

It's like a completely different person.

"Uh... In this case, even we are in danger."

"Kris and Alyssa just wait for me. That thing shouldn't be my opponent yet."

Fami's attitude is quite confident. He may have been a little inflated about his own strength recently.

But what I have to admit is that Fami is indeed the strongest among us. Although not as good as Lian, he has the same attributes and combat system as him.

"The monster is [-]% sure to appear, so the three of them plan to take this opportunity to try their luck?"

Alyssa seems to have associated more information with this. Because of the existence of Lei Xiao, this commission has become quite valuable and worth risking one's life for. The mercenaries are discouraged by many people because they have to risk their lives.

"That thing will appear at unexpected times, so this commission has been left without anyone to pick it up. Anyway, it's time for us to go."

"Well, come on."

"Yeah! Chris, Fami, be careful!"

We nodded, then put our palms together to indicate to each other that the task had begun.

I made an appointment with these two people to use such gestures to show that we are a team. Many symbolic things seem worthless at first, but I believe that such small gestures can bring great benefits in the long run. Our more important results.

Riding on the horses in the stables, our starting point will extend from here.

Chapter 134 134. Reputation and career path——3

Pulling out the horse from the stable, Alyssa waved the whip in her hand and let out a roar that broke through the air. I hugged the knight girl's slender waist with both hands, fearing that I would be thrown off the mount during this high-speed gallop.

"Catch it!"

"of course!"

Those people shouldn't be running very fast. Do they have mounts?

Horses are rare things for adventurers. After all, no matter how slow or stunted the horse is, it costs nearly a thousand Aprils, which can consume several months of savings of the adventurers' mercenaries.

When I spent money lavishly in the past, I had no idea about these numbers. It wasn’t until I had nothing that I realized that money is hard-earned.

The plan is very simple. According to our analysis, it seems that those few people are no match for Lei Xiao. Even facing the harpy is quite difficult.

If we can help them when they lose, we will definitely be rewarded. Of course, what we want is not money, or not just money.

"That girl from the Orcs is our hope."

I said in Alyssa’s ear.

"The orcs repay their kindness and repay their humiliation twice as much."

"It's a life-saving grace."

"I will definitely return my loyalty. Before my family was in ruins, there was an orc maid who served me. She dedicated her life to help my father pay off his debts."

Alyssa told anecdotes about her family, and I also understood how serious the Orcs were about repaying their kindness.

I don't want to do this kind of thing that deliberately sells people's favors, especially if it involves acting, but as a knight, Alyssa didn't say anything. It seems that she also knows that we are helpless now.

It's a gloomy day today, and the pressure in the air makes people feel short of breath.

After the horse ran out of the town, it walked along an uneven stone road, and the shoes made of mild steel made a crunching sound on the road.
