Mercenaries and Adventurers

In Zhao Ji's hand was a goblin's lime-preserved head. Because it was covered with anti-corrosion lime and the low temperature in winter, the head seemed to be in good condition, without any signs of decay. The goblin's eyes went flat.

Everyone in the hall didn't expect that Kiel took out such a thing, everyone screamed and ran away. It wasn't until the old President Huwei laughed with satisfaction seeing everyone's chaotic appearance, that everyone maintained their demeanor in embarrassment.

Of course, some stewards and drivers who had fought monsters in the wild were not frightened just now, they just looked at the startled companions around them with the same amused, and laughed along with the old president with a fox tail.

Finding a handkerchief to put on his hand, the old Foxtail President took the goblin's head from Kiel, looking left and right as if he was looking at a treasure. Some daring buddies and stewards leaned over and commented on the intact goblin head together.

Hearing from Kiel, this is a gift specially requested by the president when he set out to crusade against goblins, to be made into a prey head display stand. Some of the stewards said that compared to unsightly monsters like goblins, why not find a more powerful beast. Some stewards also said that stag heads are the best, but it is very troublesome to ask the steward of the baron to ask for a permit to hunt stags.

It was the first time for Zhao Ji to hear that hunting a deer requires the permission of the local lord. Jamura explained Kiel's understanding of this.

It turns out that different from various monsters that destroy production and threaten the lives of residents, such as wild deer and other animals that are not too aggressive, as long as they are in the county, they must obtain special permission. Otherwise, whether it is selling deer Meat, processing deerskin and deer heads, etc., as long as they are discovered and reported, they will be locked in the dungeon.

Unless he paid money to redeem himself, he would have to wait until the baron personally intervened in similar incidents, and he would be whipped publicly.

In short very troublesome. With that money to pay the ransom fine, it is better to buy a hunting license directly.

Kendall County is remote, and there are still many animals in some untouched places.

Hearing Jamla's explanation, Zhao Ji stopped thinking about it. Although those non-aggressive animals are easy to hunt, they don't make money and are illegal. And animals such as wolves that are dangerous in the wild, although hunting them is dangerous, but on the contrary, hunting them is encouraged.

After all, there has always been a serious wolf problem in the north of Kendall County, which has endangered the security and exchanges and trade in various places in the north.

The old Foxtail President was very satisfied with the gift that Kiel brought back for him, and immediately arranged for someone to accompany him to find a craftsman in the city who could handle this kind of taxidermy art.

After talking with everyone for a while, Zhao Jixian bid farewell to everyone and returned to his room to rest.

The house had not been lived in for many days, and there was an earthy smell and a faint musty smell. Zhao Ji opened the windows and the door of the house to ventilate the house. Then he fetched water from a wooden basin to wipe off the dust in the house.

His various weapons were also placed against the walls of the house one by one. Axes, long swords, spears, daggers, and shields were all placed against the walls one by one. The wooden box containing the coins was also hidden under the bed. When he left Dolarin Village, he also took a suit of clothes given to him by the old Domo. These clothes were also put into the clothes storage place in the room .

There is a wooden nail on the wall, and Zhao Ji hangs the white rabbit fur hat that has not been played for a long time on the wall.

Lying on the fluffy and soft bed, Zhao Ji rested contentedly. This place is more like a home, safe, reliable, free and comfortable.

Just when Zhao Ji was leaning on the bed and thinking about whether to go to a bathing place in the city to wash himself well, there was a knock on the open wooden door.

Zhao Ji looked up and saw Jamura knocking on the door politely.

"Come in,

jamla. What's wrong? "

Jamura walked into the house, first looked at Kiel's row of weapons and equipment, and then praised him, then said: "Two things are looking for you. During the time you were going to Dorallin Village, a man named Todd's bartender has been coming to the Chamber of Commerce to look for you, saying that he has a commission and wants you to go directly to him when you come back."

"When did it happen? Oh, I guess it's been so long since the commissions are gone." Zhao Ji was a little annoyed, and felt that he had lost a lot of money by not catching up with those commissions.

"Haha, the young man named Todd said that he has pushed away some temporary things for you, and the rest is up to you to figure out when you come back. He always asks you to go find him as soon as possible." Jamura smiled. The explanation made Zhao Ji feel much better.

"Another thing, I will give you back the Saturn Medal that you put in my place for the time being. Many people want to use it, but without your consent, I am also very embarrassed. Many friends and relatives have one Even minor illnesses hope to use this thing to heal themselves. You'd better take it back." Jamura was full of embarrassment, and spread his hands to explain the situation.

Zhao Ji saw the embarrassment of the other party, but he didn't expect to bring such trouble to Jamura. However, he was curious. Didn't he say that the Saturn badge could only be used by himself? Why did people go to Jamla directly to take advantage of it when it was placed in Jamura's house?

Regarding Kiel's question, Jamura did not expect that Kiel actually didn't understand this aspect.

After Jamla's explanation, Zhao Ji knew. It turns out that it is not correct to say that he is the owner of the sixth-class security badge of the Saturnalia, and that he can use the badge. Generally speaking, this is the case, but in fact, all priests of the Saturnalia Church can use the badge to freely use it when they have direct contact with the badge. Bring the divine power to replace their own divine power consumption.

Zhao Ji, who has been healed several times by Nia priests in Doral Forest Village, knows that the priests of the church, such as priests, have very convenient divine powers, and various simple and effective functions can be realized with divine powers, but no matter what In the same way, what is consumed is the priest's personal divine power reserve.

Judging from the fact that old Domo persuaded Nia shepherds not to use divine power so frequently, for the priests, their divine power may be more useful. Zhao Ji conjectured that the health and longevity of priests in old age were greatly affected by divine power.

Looking at it this way, it doesn't take a little bit of the priest's personal power to borrow something to perform magic spells to cure diseases. This kind of convenient thing is really very useful for the priests.

Zhao Ji thanked Jamura for saving this precious treasure when he was away, and promised to take back the badge that was temporarily stored at his home tomorrow, and Jamura left.

I originally thought that I could use this method to repay the savior, but I didn't expect to bring such trouble to the other party.

But as soon as he thought of this, Zhao Ji quickly stopped Jamla who was going downstairs, looked around, pulled Jamla closer to the room, closed the door, and carefully told the confused Jamla that he needed the other party Help with matchmaking.

Jamura, who looked puzzled, was noncommittal about this, and asked Keir to explain the situation first, so he could make a judgment.

Pulling the other party to sit on the chair, Zhao Ji whispered to Jamura about the fact that the second half of the story of the crusade against goblins was hidden.

"Skull altar built by goblins? Evil stone statues?" Jamura's expression became more and more shocked. Although he was a priest of the hidden church of a small god who hid his reputation, he was concerned about such bloody and evil things. But he only heard it from legends and stories, but he himself had never met it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why his church and the gods behind it are hidden is not because of any troubles with the gods and religion, but simply because it is easy to be squeezed out by other super churches in Kendall City.

Don’t other churches know about secret missions? How can it be. It’s just that several other big churches turned a blind eye. They didn't mean to fight for their beliefs, so the other party just pretended they didn't see it.

But what Jamura didn't expect was that Kiel would encounter such weird and dangerous things when he went out to fight goblins this time. Heard that in the end the group burned down the evil altar, and Kiel even defeated and smashed the stone statue.

Although they knew that Kiel was here in front of them at this time, they must have won, but they didn't expect it to be such an exciting and dangerous process.

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji opened the core fragments in a small sack and showed Jamura.

Looking at these magical items that glowed with a khaki-yellow light, although he was curious and felt very miraculous, Jamura, who didn't know what it was or what it could do, could only scratch his nose.

Knowing that Jamla didn't know this thing, Zhao Ji told Jamla the name, purpose, and source of information of this thing.

Knowing that this thing is the crystallization of pure elements and can be used to help high-level knights, Jamura now knows why Kiel asked him to help matchmaking.

He was childhood playmates with Knight Crowe, who is now in a high position in the city. When he was young, the boy Crowe, who was a few years older than him, took him to play. Together they tease feral cats, do pranks, and grow up together.

However, when Crowe became an adult at the age of sixteen, he joined the army of the kingdom under the arrangement of his family. After more than twenty years, when he came back, Crowe was already a high-ranking knight invited by Baron Kendall.

Being granted territories and official positions are all real power on the ground. Fortunately, Crowe was still the Crowe of today, and the relationship between them is still pure. The two often go to Wharton's full stomach to drink together. Knight Crowe has changed a lot, but his nature has not changed. Why is Jamura like this? A kid with a runny nose back then has now become a middle-aged manager of a chamber of commerce, and at the same time a pastor of a hidden church .

Both have grown up, but they are still the same.

There may be some changes, but that is the mark left on life by life experience, and they are still themselves.

Hearing that he might be able to help his partner, Jamura was very happy. He asked Kiel about the crystallization of the so-called pure element, asked for a small fragment as a sample, and left soon here.

In fact, Zhao Ji had two ways to get in touch with Crow Knight. One was Jamura. When he first came to Kendall City, he knew from the friendly meeting between Jamula and Crow that they were good friends when they were young. The other is from the city gate guards. The city gate guards are always available to find Knight Crow when he is stationed at the city gate.

But Zhao Ji was afraid that Knight Crowe would not take his men's business with him seriously. Moreover, compared to the relationship with the chamber of commerce, the relationship with the city gate guards is actually not reliable as far as Zhao Ji is concerned.

Jamura is his savior, and his entire social relationship in Kendall City basically relies on the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce. Everyone knows that he is a member of the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, and only people in Dorallin Village can I thought he was from the Saturnalia Church.

There was still a little misunderstanding with that letter of introduction, but of course, the final result was very good. On behalf of the Church of the Saturnalia, he has done so many good deeds in Dolarin Village, and even eradicated a very hidden evil hidden danger.

I don’t know how the Saturnalia Church who received the report from Nia’s pastor will praise him. The whole incident was finally hidden, and outsiders don’t know it at all, but it happened so truly after all. The Saturnalia Church will How to deal with this matter.

Zhao Ji leaned on the bed, and after resting for a while, decided to just wash up in the backyard of the chamber of commerce.

Although it was cold, he was in good health, and the freezing cold water of the Kendall River could be used to scrub his body.

The guy who fed the donkey saw that Keir was not afraid of the cold and scrubbed his body with cold water. Some said that Keir’s brain was damaged by the cold water, and some laughed and said that the young man’s body was too hot and he needed to find a woman to relax .

Zhao Ji was quite embarrassed, he would not look for these women who don't know what the situation is like, besides, he is not too hot, but for the sake of simplicity, it is not close from the chamber of commerce to the bathing pool in the slums , he was too lazy to walk those roads.

After all, Todd was still waiting for him to deal with the troubles that had been going on in the city during this time.

This is not good in the city, there is no independent means of bathing. People who own a house can wash at home, but a bachelor like him, who has no real estate, can only go to the public bath to bathe.

Naturally, there are bathing facilities in each hotel, but they are not as cheap as Dorallin Village, and the cost is not cheap. A bath is more expensive than a good meal.

But in Dorallin Village, all his expenses in the village were free.

If you want to drink ale, you can drink ale. If you want to use the blacksmith to repair weapons, you can use it for free. And he lives in a hotel, and the accommodation fee is free. He can also enjoy a large basin full of hot water to bathe alone.

It’s not good in Kendall City, you need money for everything, isn’t that killing him, his money is all in exchange for his life.

After simply wiping his body, Zhao Ji changed into clean clothes with only a long sword on his waist, took some change and went out.
