The Wizard’s Immortality (Wizarding Immortal)
Chapter 99 Ancient Armor City
"The first thing is reputation. It's okay to be mediocre in strength, but reputation must be good."
Standing in the same place, after thinking for a while, Adil looked at Kalu and said, "In addition, I am going to the ancient armor city in the north this time. I need you to find me some guides who are familiar with there. Is there a problem?"
"No problem, there are many people who meet these conditions." Karoo nodded, and then continued to ask: "So other than good reputation, do you have any requirements in terms of numbers?"
"I need fifty or so guards, plus three or so guides. As the price of hiring these people, I'm willing to pay them a gold coin a month, how about that?"
"This price is very fair." Listening to Adil's words, Karoo nodded and said.
"But let me remind you that although the ancient armor city is a big city, it is very backward there. There are savages and orcs everywhere in the wild. Maybe a war will start at any time, and it is not suitable for buying an industry."
Looking at Adil's appearance, Karu couldn't help but reminded.
"It's okay, I have something to do there, it should be fine."
For this reminder, Adil showed a smile on his face and explained slowly.
Hearing this, Karu stopped talking and said directly: "Okay, if you don't mind, you can come back tomorrow at noon. I need some time to inform those mercenaries."
"Okay." Adiel nodded, then took out two gold coins from his arms: "This is your introduction fee. If the person you find tomorrow is satisfactory to me, I don't mind giving you more."
"Haha, thank you so much!" After taking the gold coins, Karoo's eyes lit up: "With these, I can buy more ores!"
After doing this, Adil turned around and left directly.
the next day.
At noon, when Adil came to this weapon house, he found that there were already many people standing outside.
These people were dressed in different clothes, some were wearing torn leather armor, some were wearing leather, and some were only wearing dirty hunting attire, looking a bit miserable.
But despite this, these people are in good shape.
Looks powerful.
"Are these the guards you got me?"
Walking into the weapon store and looking at the people standing outside the door, Adil frowned and said, "The equipment is too bad."
"Haha, don't look at these people with poor equipment, but their strength may not be weak." Standing in place, Karoo pointed to the people standing outside: "These people are basically veterans who have been with the orcs. After fighting, one by one is very good."
"And these people are all selected by me specially for you, and they are not bad in terms of reputation. You can rest assured when you use them."
Hearing this, Adil nodded.
"Let them send a few representatives in." He looked at the people standing outside and said involuntarily.
In response, Karoo nodded cheerfully and strode out.
Not long after, he walked in again, followed by three people.
A tall man with blond hair, a sturdy middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion, and a middle-aged man who was wearing thick leather armor and looked ordinary.
As soon as the three walked in, there was a veteran atmosphere different from ordinary people, which made Adiel nodded secretly.
"What's your name?" he asked involuntarily.
"My name is Gru." The blond man spoke first, his eyes bright.
"Sir, you can call me Ax." The rosy-faced stout middle-aged man smacked his chest and said in a loud voice.
"Elder." The man finally spoke, looking a little taciturn.
Listening to their words, Adil stood on the spot and glanced at them casually.
"Name: Gru. Strength: 1.4. Agility: 1.2. Constitution: 1.4."
"Name: Ax. Strength: 1.3. Agility: 1.3. Constitution: 1.5."
The body data of the two flashed quickly in front of him.
Looking at this body data, Adil nodded secretly, and then looked at the last person.
"Name: Eld. Strength: 1.8. Agility: 1.7. Constitution: 2."
"Huh..." Looking at this data, Adel couldn't help but turn his eyes to Eld, who looked very silent: "Are you a knight apprentice?"
Listening to Adil's words, Eld was stunned, and subconsciously said: "How do you know..."
After saying this, he only reacted, looking at the eyes of several people around him looking at him, he couldn't help but shut his mouth and returned to his previous taciturn appearance.
Seeing him like this, Adier thought thoughtfully, and then smiled: "Very good."
"I'll accept you guys." He smiled, and then pointed to the three of them: "You three are representatives, so just be the team captain, five gold coins per month, is there any problem?"
Hearing this, the three of them were first stunned by the favorable conditions, and then nodded quickly.
The three of them are all representatives selected from the mercenaries outside, and they have a certain prestige in that group of people. It is not a problem to be a team captain.
And the income of five gold coins is also something they cannot refuse. Even if they usually accept this type of escort mission, their monthly income is less than one gold coin. The income of five gold coins is enough for their family to live for a year.
Looking at the reactions of the three of them, Adiel nodded and pointed to Eld, who was standing beside him: "You will be the captain of the escort team this time, with ten gold coins per month."
Immediately, the other party's eyes showed joy, and it seemed that he was extremely satisfied with this income.
Seeing the joy in the other's eyes, Adil was a little speechless.
A normal knight apprentice, who is not from a nobleman, even if the family is defeated halfway, it is impossible to be so happy because of the price of ten gold coins.
"It seems to be a commoner who somehow learned the knight's breath."
Seeing the other party like this, Adil secretly shook his head, thinking in his heart.
After choosing the guard, you can choose a lot at will in the choice of the guide.
Among the seven or eight candidates, Adil randomly selected three who seemed relatively calm and sophisticated as his guides this time.
After a few days, the team started to set off.
Adil sat quietly in the carriage. All over the team, Eld and the three led a group of people to escort them and moved forward quietly with the team.
But now, the equipment on the three of them has been changed. Not only are they riding horses, but they are also wearing brand-new leather armor.
This was all configured by Adil. Although he didn't care about the team's combat power, in order to make the team look better, he still changed the equipment for the three captains.
Of course, these equipments are only temporarily lent to them. Although Adil does not lack these gold coins, it is not good for wizards to insist on equivalent exchange and give them for no reason.
Of course, if they perform well during this period, it doesn't matter if you give them this equipment.
The team moved forward slowly.
The Kingdom of Gumodo is not very peaceful, except around the city, other parts of the country are often filled with various thieves and robbers, and even occasionally some orcs will come out to fight the autumn wind.
Adil's team encountered a lot on the road, most of them were not strong, and were easily defeated by the three of Elder.
After a period of understanding, Adil also probably understood the origins of the three of Elder.
Gru and Ax are both veterans. Because of their poor family background, they participated in conscription when they were adults, and fought with orcs constantly. Finally, they retired from the army to farm and work as mercenaries for a living.
As for Eld, as Adil thought, he was not a member of the nobility, but just a child of an ordinary farmer. Because when he was young, he accidentally rescued a seriously injured nobleman. In return, he was taught the basic knight breathing method by the other party. Finally, he joined the army and retired as a mercenary part-time.
The three of them are of the more honest type, and they are all married, so they are the type that are easier to control.
············
A month later, on the broad road, a long queue is walking.
In front of the team, the shadow of a city swayed in sight, and it seemed that it was not far away.
"Lord Adil, in a few hours, the ancient armor city will arrive!"
Sitting quietly on the carriage, Elder's calm voice came from Adair's ear.
Hearing the voice, he quietly put down the book he was holding, and then said, "Let the team stop first."
"Elder, Gru, Ax, you three come in."
As the order fell, the surrounding teams began to stop slowly, and then three tall figures walked in from outside.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Looking at Adil, among the three, Eld spoke first.
"We are about to arrive at Ancient Armor City, and by then, our employment will end."
Looking at the three of them, Adil said with a smile: "I'm going to place some properties here, and I need some manpower. Would you like to come over?"
"As a price, I can settle your family and give you some land and positions, which is far better than being a mercenary."
"This..." Hearing Adil's words, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw the hesitation and intentional movement in each other's eyes.
The life of a mercenary sounds exciting. But only those who have really experienced the profession can know the difficulty of this profession. Not only is it hard work, dangerous, unstable, and the income is low, it is not as colorful as others imagine. Maybe he will die outside at some time, and even the corpse will be eaten by wild animals.
Adil's character, they can also feel through their relationship during this period of time. They don't have the bad habits of some nobles. On the contrary, they seem to get along well, and they are treated very well.
If the ancient armor city is not located on the border, there are a large number of orcs around, and it is possible to fight at all times, they will never hesitate, and they will agree on the spot.
But after hesitating for a while, they nodded and agreed.
"Very good." Seeing them nodding, Adil smiled: "As a reward for your loyalty to me, the weapons and equipment on your body, as well as the horses you used during this time, belong to you from now on. ")!!
