Blue Sword

After being taken out of the venue by everyone, Asker met the old man Pablo, the recruiting officer, again.

"Injured Madman Barrow?" The audience described what happened in the assessment session just now. Old Pablo stood up in shock, with an expression of irritation and surprise.

What makes him angry is that Madman Barrow dares not to give him face and brazenly declares that he will attack the newcomer. It seems that the royal family is really planning to break up with his side.

The surprise was naturally because this newcomer not only survived, but also killed the madman Barrow who wanted to gain authority over him, severely dampening the arrogance of the royal family.

In this way, Ferdinand will never let him go, but should his superiors protect him? Obviously, a lot depends on how you report to your boss.

After reorganizing his thoughts, old Pablo sat back down and pointed to the chair next to him:

"sit."

Ask sat down on the chair, while old Pablo looked at the patrol team calmly and asked:

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"It's okay, it's okay," the patrol team said quickly.

Since old Pablo plans to protect this newcomer, everyone doesn't need to worry too much. In other words, if even old Pablo can't be saved, then there's nothing they can do.

Then everyone dispersed with depressed expressions.

Old Pablo took out a pen and paper to record, looked at Aske with a cautious look, and asked in a deep voice:

"Say it."

"What did you say?" Ask asked strangely.

"Why did you hurt Madman Barrow?" Old Pablo paused and continued, "With the true strength you have shown... you should also be a transcendent who has completed the road of blood, right?"

"Yes." Asik admitted unabashedly, "As for why you injured him, isn't this part of your close combat assessment?"

Old Pablo was momentarily speechless. Yes, our assessment is a close-combat test. However, examiners have always accidentally injured or even killed newcomers. How could a newcomer accidentally injure the examiner? You are a senior transcendent above level 10, but you are pretending to be a newbie!

"That's how I understand it." Old Pablo tried to put pressure on the other party, showing a serious and cold expression, "You deliberately concealed your strength, allowing Crazy Barro to underestimate your level, and then hit you hard with thunderous power. He, right?"

"Wrong." Asik shook his head and said, "I didn't deliberately hide my strength."

"You didn't hide your strength, so why did Crazy Barrow misjudge?" Old Pablo raised his tone and volume, "And you didn't tell your peers about your level. Isn't this just a senior extraordinary person pretending to be an ordinary person? , are you deliberately concealing your strength?"

"You didn't even ask about my level." Asik said speechlessly, "And I also communicated with you to confirm it, and your people said it's okay."

"Who said there's no problem?" Old Pablo asked, and then he realized that the newcomer probably didn't recognize the names of the patrol members, so he turned to ask, "What did they tell you?"

"I asked them, are you so reckless in the tests of the Bull Mercenary Group? Can you kill people by mistake during the assessment?" Asker recounted the previous conversation, "Then your people said..."

"What did you say?"

"They say that Crazy Barrow is a transcendent and an elite member of your Aragon Raid Corps." Asker said calmly, "Isn't this what you mean by letting me go and fight?"

"Wait a minute." Old Pablo raised his palms, interrupting his words, and then stood up.

Why does this matter seem a bit messy...

After walking around the room a few times and recalling the descriptions of the previous patrol members several times, Old Pablo finally got his logic correct:

At the beginning, Crazy Barrow ignored his "greeting" and showed a strong murderous intention towards the newcomer, and even directly hinted that he would "accidentally" kill him.

Then the newcomer asked why he failed in the assessment process.

Then the patrol member answered him, because Mad Barro is a superhuman, an elite member of the Aragon Raid Legion.

Well, if this is a "pure" newcomer, then he asks what "miss" means, naturally because he is afraid of the other party's death threat.

The patrol member's euphemistic reminder means "you two are not equal in status, he will really kill you" and "so you should give up this assessment as soon as possible, it is important to save your life."

However, this Eastern mercenary named "Asker" is actually a senior mercenary above level 10, so when he asked what "miss" meant, he probably simply said: "Ah, you can still miss? It doesn't matter." ?"

Then the patrol member's answer fell on his ears, and he understood it to be "It's okay, he is also a transcendent, and he is also an elite. You can fight him without worry"...

What the hell is this! Why are the two parties not on the same channel at all, but they can still communicate smoothly and interpret each other's words as completely different from their original meanings?

After thinking (nao) clearly (bu) the ins and outs of the matter, old Pablo sat down again with some laughter and tears, and explained to Asker:

"You...this is Mr. Asker, right? Do you know that you are in big trouble?"

"What's the trouble?" Ask asked with a smile.

"There is someone above Crazy Barrow." Old Pablo pointed to the ceiling, "If you hurt one of their people, they will never let you go."

"But I'm not a member of your Bull Mercenary Group." Asik said calmly, "Can you involve me, an outsider, in your internal fight?"

"First of all, if you pass the assessment, you will be a temporary partner of our Bull Mercenary Group." Old Pablo lowered his voice and said, "After you go to the battlefield, we will assign you tasks. For example, if someone provides false intelligence , deliberately asked you to go deep behind enemy lines and lied to you that it was just an ordinary infiltration mission, what should you do?"

This old man really dares to say that...Asker was also speechless and said with a smile:

"The Bull Mercenary Group is also the leading mercenary group in Iberia. Would it do such a despicable thing?"

"Of course professional mercenaries disdain to do such things." Old Pablo sneered, "However, some high-level officials are not mercenaries!"

"Is the high-ranking officer you are talking about Prince Ferdinand of the Kingdom of Aragon-Castia, the current deputy leader of your headquarters?" Ask suddenly said.

When Old Pablo heard this, he trembled violently and almost choked to death on his own saliva. What, could it be that the internal fighting among the top leaders of our Bull Mercenary Group has heated up to this extent? Now even the mercenaries outside know everything about it?

"Ahem." He carefully considered his words and explained euphemistically, "Our Bull Mercenary Group is, after all, a large mercenary group of a certain scale. Of course, it is impossible for the king not to insert forces into it."

"We happened to encounter this undead invasion from the north, so the king plans to recruit your mercenary group to enhance the kingdom's military strength." Asker added.

"Big mercenary groups will basically encounter this kind of thing." Old Pablo defended vaguely, "Look at the Plantagenet Mercenary Group, it was originally called the 'Courage Mercenary Group', but later it was also called We were absorbed by the Anjou Dynasty. In fact, we are doing pretty well, at least we have maintained a minimum of independence and autonomy..."

"So independent that you can't even protect the new people you recruit?" Ask asked strangely.
