Noble Emblem

Failure in recruitment is a normal thing in the mercenary world. Although it is a pity, it is not a big deal.

They were just surprised that the reason for Jessica's refusal was that she actually wanted to help the master warm the bed. They feel that this ideal is really a bit 'shameful'. After all, Jessica is also an elite-level assassin. Among mercenaries, her strength is considered to be above average. Moreover, she is still so young, and it is certain that she will become a master in the future.

A future master only wants to be a personal maid. This is really unambitious.

"You shouldn't just think about being a servant to the nobles." The female mercenary advised: "Your future is very bright, and you don't need to grovel."

Although most mercenaries are looked down upon by the nobles, who consider them a symbol of rudeness and barbarism.

But the discrimination was on both sides. The mercenaries were looking directly at the nobles.

Privately, I think they are all trash and they just gave birth to a good child.

This is the current situation of nobles and mercenaries. They discriminate against each other, but in their hearts, they envy each other.

The nobles envied the freedom and strength of the mercenaries, and the mercenaries wanted to have the status of nobles and a comfortable life.

Hearing the words of the female mercenary, Jessica was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But the master picked me up from the street. It was also the master who taught me how to read. It was also the master who gave me life. Even my current strength is nothing." It was given by the master, why can’t I be his maid?”

Can you still give me this...strength?

Don’t professionals rely on their own hard training and then awaken on their own?

Keenly sensing the point of Jessica's words, the middle-aged mercenary asked in surprise: "You said your strength was given by your master?"

Jessica nodded repeatedly.

Rooney felt that it was inappropriate for Jessica to say this, but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that it was nothing, so he did not stop her.

"What about you?"

Carissa didn't speak, and neither did Rooney.

"It's all given by the master. Carissa was just a young lady." Jessica said quietly while eating barbecue: "The master's abilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us."

Jessica's voice was very soft, her eyes reflected the red color of the flames, and she looked at Senhan unusually.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, the four mercenaries felt their scalps numb.

But then Jessica smiled: "But the master has a good heart. As long as you don't make him really angry, he will never take action against others."

With this smile, the four mercenaries felt that the cold aura just now disappeared.

The middle-aged mercenary gently let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand. Just now he almost couldn't bear the pressure and was about to draw the sword to defend himself.

After such an episode, they no longer mentioned the matter of letting the three people join the team.

But Jessica's words caused huge waves in their hearts.

They know very well how much hardship they have suffered in order to become professionals, but now, there is actually a way for people to become professionals directly.

No wonder Rooney and Carissa look more like young men and young ladies, especially Carissa, who doesn’t feel like she has gone through hard training to become a professional.

After everyone ate their dry food and assigned the people who would take turns to watch the night, they rested.

At dawn the next day, everyone had a solid breakfast and rested for a while before going down to explore the ruins again.

It went well at first. After all, they knew all the traps and traps in the places they had explored. But when they descended into a cave with many black coffins in the South Park that looked like an altar, they felt something was wrong.

There was a white skeleton on the altar. The female mercenary walked over holding a torch, looked at it for a while, and said, "It was a woman who was stabbed in the heart by a short blade and died."

She pulled a dagger from the skeleton's chest.

The dagger is still as brand new as if it was newly made, with a small emerald inlaid on the handle.

"This is a magic weapon." The female mercenary shouted in surprise: "If you sell it, it should be worth at least a few gold coins."

Any magic weapon usually costs dozens of gold coins, but purchasing it is another story. Anyone with some experience knows that any weapon recycling costs at least 60% of the price.

It is normal to have a dark heart.

Everyone was a little surprised, except Jessica.

She is not very interested in money, but is very curious about strange things.

The black coffins are neatly placed in the wall hole, densely packed, like bee pupae in a beehive.

She tried to open several black coffins and found that most of the corpses inside had turned into bones, but a few seemed to still maintain their appearance in life, but there was no water and they looked a little shriveled.

"very strange."

At this time, another man's voice came from the side.

"Come quickly, there is Dafa Su here."

Everyone moved closer and discovered that on the innermost cave wall, there was a strange ceremonial platform, about the same height as a normal man, with a huge snake statue spiraling up.

And at the very bottom of the snake's mouth, there is a large light green gemstone.

This gem is at least about the size of a leather ball.

Under the light of the torch, through the gaps in the snake's mouth, you can see the green crystal light reflected from the gemstone, which is dazzling.

"This is a real fortune."

Everyone was almost immersed in the light of the gems. Jessica jumped up and climbed up the body of the stone snake, and soon stood on the snake's head.

She reached out to pull out the gem, but found that the snake's mouth had safely stuck the gem.

She stabbed it a few times with the dagger without giving up, and only a few sparks flew out.

"The stone is very hard and cannot be opened using regular means. There may be some mechanism."

Jessica jumped off the snake's head.

The female mercenary held a torch and held the light at the ceremony platform for a while, then said, "There is a hole here, like a keyhole."

Several people approached. The middle-aged mercenary looked at it for a while and said, "It seems to be in the shape of a short blade."

Everyone was stunned. The female mercenary took out the magic short blade from her backpack, gestured, and said in surprise: "It seems to be this thing."

"Will you put it in or not?"

The female mercenary looked at the people around her and asked.

Rooney looked at it for a while and said: "There are words written on the ceremony table. I think it would be better to decipher it before talking about it. After all, the mission we received is to explore this area."

"But if it is reported to the union, this gem will no longer belong to us."

When Rooney heard it, he also felt that it made sense. This emerald looks good and is large. It can definitely be sold for hundreds of gold coins.

If it is a material used for magic enchantment, it is more valuable.

"Why don't the master come and help us take a look." Jessica said suddenly: "The master can understand all the words. If he comes here, he will definitely know whether we should open this ceremony table. Besides, the master is very rich. He definitely doesn’t like this thing and won’t snatch it from you.”
