Lord of War
55. Because I need you
If Alfred's momentum is the sea, then Sean is the reef at the moment. No matter how strong Alfred's momentum was, and even a little murderous, but Sean was not afraid at all, he just looked at him so peacefully.
There was no confrontation like swords, lights, swords and shadows, nor any fierce words, but with the two at the core, the strong momentum spread out wave after wave, and many drinkers around felt a little palpitated. There are many people who are also in the third-order occupation. Although they are only low-rank bronzes, no one has really seen blood, or has fought life and death? But under the pressure of Alfred's momentum, they only had thoughts of fear.
In this regard, their performance is not as good as Sean, an apprentice who is not even a low-ranking bronze.
"Cough cough." A light cough suddenly sounded in the quiet tavern, which seemed a bit abrupt.
No one knew who made the sound, but at this moment, Alfred seemed to have suddenly awakened to something, and restrained the momentum that burst out of himself. The tavern, which had originally felt the chilly air, only now regained some heat, making it a bit warmer.
Sean glanced at the owner of the tavern thoughtfully: This guy is not an ordinary person, but why was there no record of him on the forum?
Seeing Sean's gaze, the tavern owner smiled and nodded, and raised the gold coin in his hand, which meant to thank Sean for his generosity. In the face of such a person, Sean of course smiled back. In fact, five gold coins, he didn't particularly care about it. He also has five gold exchange coupons from the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance. If it is exchanged for Portoroa Gold coins, almost 7,150 can be exchanged.
The exchange rate between Pangaea Gold Coins and Portoroa Gold Coins is 0.7:1.
"Let's continue to talk about business." Sean turned his head and looked at Alfred, "Do you really think this is good for your daughter?"
Alfred was silent.
"First of all, apart from being a mercenary, how else can you make money?" Sean bluntly pointed out Alfred's weakest point, "Just rely on your scattered physical work in this village. How much money do you make in a day? Look at your dinner, a mincemeat for five coppers a bowl, what did your daughter eat after all these years at Sir Fregan's mansion?"
Alfred clenched his fists: "She's not particular about what she eats!"
"Okay, let's not talk about food, clothes and housing?" Sean snorted softly, "Let's assume your daughter is not particular about food and clothes, but do you want your daughter to sleep on the street like you? Even if she can Bear with it, what if she catches a cold or something?"
Alfred, although the future god of war, is actually a daughter-in-law. Back then, he did leave Seronda Village, and the reason for his departure was unknown, but when he returned to Seronda Village, a war had broken out between the Kingdom of Portoroa and the Kingdom of Serian. Count Mario's ambition fell for a time, and his daughter also died in the war.
In that battle, the Forest of Starfall was once a battleground between the two kingdoms, but it was all about player quests. Later, the Kingdom of Portoroa even rebuilt an outpost in it. It was precisely because of this war that the players discovered the fifth-order dungeon in Xingyun Lake, but Sean only learned about these things from the forum. At that time, he had moved to the mainland with the strategic plan of the contracting company. of the East.
His wife ran away with someone, and his daughter died later. Alfred is indeed a truly tragic figure. But perhaps it is precisely because of these tragedies that it is the driving force that completely inspired Alfred's potential, making him one of the most tyrannical NPC characters in the game later.
"If you're going to give your daughter a better life, you're going to have to go back to your old business.
Sean saw that Alfred had been silent, and of course he couldn't continue to sit down with him like this, so he said again, "But let your daughter live with you, and you are often not at home, then she How to do? Or to put it more nasty, what would she do if something happened to you? Let her go back to that Ser Fregan? is it possible? "
Alfred was completely silent.
"If you're really doing it for your daughter's sake, then you should come with me."
"Go with you?" Alfred was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "What's the difference between being a mercenary for you and going back to my old business? I might as well be an adventurer, so that not only will I have more time and money. It's freer, and it's a lot less dangerous."
Adventurers, mercenaries, and pioneers are the three largest guilds on the Miraculous Continent. Unlike the Warrior Association and the Magician Association, these three have strict requirements for professional status, and any profession can join. But not everyone can join. If you want to join these three guilds, you must pass a test to prove that you have enough strength. After all, the benefits of these three guilds are not bad.
Among them, the missions in the Adventurers Guild are the least dangerous, and they are mainly regional exploration or intelligence gathering missions. Although battles are inevitable, there are generally few targeted battles, even if they are occasionally dealt with. The combat missions of Warcraft are also carried out with the people of the Demon Hunting Guild, and the degree of freedom is not comparable to that of the other two guilds.
However, the disadvantage is that the task reward is the lowest among the three guilds, and generally a task is likely to take several months or even a year or two to complete.
The mercenary guild, compared to the pioneer guild, is not particularly dangerous. Generally speaking, only the stronger the guild will encounter the more dangerous tasks. In the mercenary guild, the difficulty and danger of the task are directly proportional to the reward, but the degree of freedom varies from person to person. Compared with the head of the mercenary group, it is entirely up to him to do the task or not to do the task. Calculated, and the members of the mercenary group can only act according to the command of the leader.
As for the Pioneer Guild, its mission is the most dangerous, and it also has the principle of absolute order. That is to say, if there is no proper reason, once you receive a letter from the pioneers guild, you must go to the pioneers guild to report and discuss the purification of the black soil or the collection of revival fire, etc., and you must not refuse at all. However, because of the high risk, the welfare is also the best among the three guilds, and the guild will also be responsible to the families of the members of the war dead.
Alfred had been the head of the mercenary group before, and he was very aware of some of the doorways in it. It was not that he had not thought about returning to his old business, but it was not easy for him to gather a team again. Therefore, when he said that he wanted to be an adventurer, it was not an angry word or a stupid remark, but it showed that he had really thought about it, because an adventurer could be a lone ranger or a team, but the degree of freedom was Much higher than the mercenary group.
Unlike the mercenary group, once you join, if you want to leave, you must obtain the consent of the head of the group. Otherwise, you will lose your job in this line.
In view of Alfred's dissatisfaction with Sir Fregan, of course, he also has some grudges against Sean, who looks like an aristocrat, but he will never admit or say these things.
"Follow me, hope is great." Sean smiled and said confidently, "As I said before, my mercenary group is destined to be famous in the world, so follow me, you will not suffer ... And I can also assure you that if you want to leave one day, I will never embarrass you, you can leave when you want."
Hearing this, Alfred was obviously moved, but the experience over the years made him calm down quickly: "What do you guarantee?"
"My personality and credibility." Sean said naturally.
Alfred has a black line on his face.
"Believe me, no one wants to damage their reputation." Seeing Alfred's expression, Sean knew what he was thinking, even when he said the most common sentence Alfred said back then.
This sentence really made Alfred stunned. After a while, he looked up at Sean and said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to recruit me?"
"Because I need you." Sean said as a matter of course, the future God of War, who wouldn't want, "In my opinion, you are more important than you think. And I promise you, at most three years, three years After that, you can definitely reunite with your daughter, and whether you stay or leave, I will respect your choice."
Hearing Sean's sincere words, Alfred finally nodded after being silent for a few seconds: "I understand, Captain."
Alfred is a very down-to-earth person. Since he has already decided to join Sean's team, the commander's voice is very natural, without any twist at all.
And when Alfred said the word "Captain", Sean knew that he made the right bet. Since it is already a real world, many things no longer need to follow the so-called strategy and quest line. , except that some necessary events take time to form, there are many things he can start trying to contact now.
But the most important thing right now is that he must build the framework of a mercenary group as soon as possible. Only in this way can Alfred's daughter be taken over, so that their family can be reunited, and Alfred will have a sense of belonging to his mercenary group, because although Alfred has agreed to join, But in fact he has no sense of identity and belonging, let alone loyalty.
"Since you have decided to join, I must also know about your strength." Sean said suddenly, "After all, you haven't held a weapon for more than a year, and I don't know if your skills are rusty, so before noon tomorrow Come find me at the Nuanfeng House in the south of the village, and I will test you, is it alright?"
"No." Alfred shook his head simply.
========Dividing Line========
A book cannot be a perfect book that everyone likes. There will always be some people who like it and who don't like it, and there will be no shortage of small flaws. As a writer, all I need and can do is minimize these imperfections.
Every writer's style is different, and there are some differences in the way of writing. The main line and long-term goals need to be paved and built. At least I think this is the way to gain the recognition of readers, so if I really don’t like it or feel that I can’t watch it, I can’t force it, but if it’s about to massacre it, Then I can only say that your behavior is really unpopular.
As for those who say that the protagonist is still wandering around and has no idea what he is doing, I can only say that you are not reading this book seriously at all, or you may not even read it. By the way, please don't tick a tick and then add all the fines when the deputy moderator adds refinement. At least look at what the post is saying and see if there is any repetition.
