Chapter 203 Recruiting a Mercenary Group
When Wayne saw Francesca again, before he could speak, the system prompts reached Wayne's ears.
Ding! Settlement started. For this action, 135 points were obtained. The current total points are 135 points.
After hearing this result, Wayne felt a little more at ease. The calculation rules of the system were still quite humane. Although these elves were not saved by him personally, the points did not decrease.
This gave Wayne an idea. He should set up a team, or an organization, specifically to rescue elves.
Although the efficiency of rescuing hundreds of elves at once is quite good as it is now, and one can get an expert-level mission from the sorceress, the speed is still too slow. How long will it take to save an epic treasure chest?
You know, the reward Francesca gave him was only ten crowns per person. For this operation tonight, he can get one thousand three hundred and fifty crowns, which is more than six thousand oren gold coins. He has to sigh. , the wealth of the rich elf woman.
For some mercenaries, the price of killing an ordinary person is only a dozen crowns, and they can only get dozens of gold coins for participating in a war.
Even if Wayne hires a middleman to make the difference and double the price, there will definitely be many mercenaries to take over the task.
Of course, the task of rescuing the inhuman race is still quite secretive. It cannot be done by just anyone. It must be a mercenary with professional ethics and personal principles.
Moreover, this mission may be a long-term mission lasting ten or even twenty years. You can also use this opportunity to recruit a group of trustworthy mercenaries and train them as useful helpers.
Francesca gathered her long dark golden hair hanging on her face, exposed her jade-white cheeks, and asked softly:
"Wayne, are you injured?"
Seeing Wayne shaking his head with a relaxed expression, she took the initiative He reached out and used magic to clean up the blood and scraps of flesh on Wayne's body, restoring him to the freshness he had when they first met.
Noticing that the witcher seemed to be at ease and not exerting much effort, the sorceress couldn't help but be very curious. Didn't those professional soldiers let him go all out?
Thinking of this, Francesca smiled, tilted her head, and asked,
"How's it going at the military camp? Have you defeated them?"
Upon hearing this, Wayne lowered his head slightly, looked at each other and looked at the sorceress. Looking at this almost perfect face, he couldn't help but stretched out his right hand. Under Francesca's slightly surprised gaze, he reached out and poked her face full of collagen, then withdrew his palm and said lightly: "I'll kill you.
" After killing them, only two were left alive, and they reported my name." "
For a long time in the future, the human mercenary, Dante, will become the number one enemy of the Kingdom of Kaedwen." "
Help You attract firepower, so you guys have to move faster and take more elves out of here as soon as possible."
After hearing Wayne's answer, Francesca ignored the very rude behavior of the young demon hunter just now and glared lightly. He glanced at Wayne and thought about the consequences of this action.
There is no doubt that the slaughter of an army of one hundred and fifty people will definitely attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Kaedwen.
There is a high probability that they will involve the escape of the inhuman race in Feiport City with this incident. However, if Dante, a target that attracts firepower, is in front of them, it will indeed attract more attention from the nobles of the kingdom. force.
Although the resistance this time was slightly fierce, compared with the oppression that the elves have suffered for a long time, the lack of any resistance only fueled the enemy's arrogance.
Francesca thought about many things in an instant. After discussing the current situation of the Kingdom of Kaedwen with Wayne, she directly paid Wayne a large bag of gold coins, which contained a total of fifteen hundred crowns, which was more than what the system calculated. One hundred and thirty-five points, and a few more.
Facing Wayne's somewhat surprised look, Francesca smiled softly and said:
"This operation saved a total of more than 130 elves, but there were also some dwarves and halflings who also left this town." "
Although my commission was only to rescue our compatriots, but Wei Well, I'm not a stingy employer. I will reward you accordingly for all the risks you take."
Wayne stretched out his hand and weighed the large bag full of gold coins, fifteen hundred crowns, worth at least seven Qian Orun, this money is enough for him to hire a mercenary group of hundreds of people to work for him.
Although Wayne knew very well that the elf sorceress was deliberately trying to win over him, he did feel the rich woman's financial resources and sincerity.
Perhaps, the tens of thousands of gold coins spent in Azeroth last year will be earned back from this wealthy woman soon.
After being separated from Francesca, the sorceress used a portal to teleport Wayne back to Vizima City. I have to say, this is really a very practical spell.
Unfortunately, Wayne's time to learn magic was too short. Although it only took less than a year, his knowledge barely reached the standard of a warlock apprentice in the academy.
But his knowledge accumulation is still too little, and it will take a long time to use high-end spells like portal.
Even talented sorceresses like Yennefer and Triss took twenty or thirty years to reach their current level. The difficulty of learning spells is much more difficult than the modern college entrance examination.
After returning to Vizima City, Wayne did whatever he wanted and immediately started asking acquaintances for information about mercenaries.
It's a pity that among the people he knows, the sorceresses don't have access to these low-end characters. To them, these rough guys who lick blood from their swords and rely on force to survive are not worthy of their attention at all.
The dwarf blacksmith master O. Henry introduced him to several dwarf mercenary teams, all of which were good helpers in fighting. However, for Wayne, his first choice was the human mercenary team, because only humans can fight in Cord. The Wen Kingdom is unimpeded and will not be suspected by others.
Moreover, compared to the honest and stubborn dwarves, the human mercenary is more tactful and flexible. His purpose is to rescue more elves, and he does not necessarily have to use robbery or other violent means. As long as he can achieve this goal, Even if they are bought as slaves or commodities, the process does not matter.
It is a pity that such talents are quite rare. Whether it is the wealthy businessman Revarden or the local snake of Vizima, Old York, there is no good recommendation.
It wasn't until Wayne remembered someone with whom he had some friendship that things found a new way out.
This person was the dwarf mercenary Yarpan who he let go when he was fighting against the green dragon in Holobor City.
This guy has been a mercenary in the northern countries for decades. As an insider, he has far more information than the acquaintances who stay in Vizima City.
After the two exchanged letters, the dwarf immediately gave him several suitable targets, most of which were human mercenary groups with a good reputation in the mercenary circle.
He conducted some research on these mercenary groups, checked their past achievements, and some employers' evaluations of them, and finally selected a target. Moreover, the leader of this mercenary group is a quite famous person who appeared in the original work.
Little beautiful cat, Julia Ebutmark.
At this point, we have to mention Wayne's bad nature. Compared to men who are ambitious and prone to various rebellions, he is more willing to trust women who are emotional and less concerned about power and desire.
And because in this era, women have a low status and are less likely to succeed, they cherish the opportunity to succeed more, and Wayne is more willing to give capable women a chance to prove themselves.
After a sincere letter from Wayne was sent, about a week later, the little beautiful cat Julia and two of his group members came to Vizima City from the Kingdom of Redalia, which is adjacent to Temeria. .
While Wayne was busy looking for a suitable mercenary group, his cooperation with Francesca did not stop. During this period, he went out twice and rescued more than 200 members of the inhuman race and gained 200 points. Points, and completed two expert-level tasks by the way.
Wayne even took the initiative to propose killing Earl Kovind, a notorious inhuman race. At a dinner party held by the Earl, he entered his banquet hall from the front door and killed him. Dozens of guards later took away his head in public.
The influence of this operation far exceeded the previous rescue operations. The human mercenary Dante became the most wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Kadwen overnight, with a bounty of up to 2,000 pieces. Ducat.
And because everyone had seen the powerful magic used by Dante, King Henselt of Codwind directly put pressure on the Warlock Brotherhood, asking them to send warlocks to deal with this evil wanted criminal who was also able to cast spells.
But at the same time, facing the threat of death, those nobles who cherished their lives also slowed down the pace of oppression of the inhuman race, giving Francesca and others more time.
This afternoon, a special visitor came to Wayne's mansion.
Francesca, wearing a gorgeous white dress with gold trim, sat at Wayne's dining table, her eyes narrowed slightly, holding a strawberry cake with a bite in her hand, showing a cute look of enjoyment, and said with a smile:
" The pastries you make are really delicious, Wayne. Even thousands of years ago, the cakes made by those royal chefs with thousands of years of cooking experience could not compare to the cakes I have." "I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to do it
. I'm really impressed that I can possess such ability at the age of twenty."
Wayne took a sip of the elven mead sent by the sorceress as a gift, and listened to her sweet compliments and praises, and felt faintly He nodded and said without humility:
"I will not deny this."
"Anyone who has tasted my cooking will say the same thing as you, madam."
Francesca covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, then took out a dozen books from her small pocket, put them on the table, pushed them in front of Wayne, and said: "Wayne, I got it
from Ari Disaya from Tusa College knows that you are collecting the lost knowledge about witchers." "
These books are some books on witcher research that I collected in the past. I have brought them all. You can Take a look and see if there is anything you haven't read."
Wayne raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Elf Sorceress had such a wide range of information channels, and could also find out what he had done last year. Obviously, after seeing After his strength, this most beautiful sorceress must have spent a lot of time investigating him.
Of course, Wayne would not refuse these gifts. He flipped through them casually and found that they contained quite precious knowledge, most of which he had not collected. He simply didn't bother to be polite and didn't even choose. Entered into his own space bracelet.
Faced with his behavior, the elf sorceress was not angry at all, and said softly:
"Actually, during this period, I also spent some time studying the genetic mutations of demon hunters. I have to say that the human sorcerer Azul , is really a genius with outstanding talents, who can actually think of imitating the genetic structure of monsters to create a group of powerful warriors." "
If you want help in these aspects, I will pay attention to this aspect for you. Intelligence."
"But to be honest, Wayne, I'm very curious. After my deduction, according to Adzoll's original design, even if the most successful demon hunter is created, his strength should not be as strong as you now. "
How did you grow to where you are now in a few years?"
Facing Francesca's probing gaze, Wayne just looked at the sorceress very calmly for more than ten seconds, and then said:
" Ms. Francesca, you should know very well that geniuses exist in this world, and there are people born with extremely powerful talents, and I am such a person."
As he spoke, Wayne activated the already quite powerful chaotic magic power in his body, and a wave of magic power emanated from his body. After years of accumulation and the addition of various talents and skills, his magic power It surpasses most ordinary warlocks in the wizarding world and is almost close to the elite warlock class.
Although it cannot be compared with the thousand-year-old elf sorceress in front of her, as a half-elf who is only less than twenty years old, this is enough to surprise Francesca.
The elf beauty's eyes flashed, as if she had seen some treasure. She looked at Wayne seriously, then shook her head and sighed and said, "
It's such a shame, Wayne, if I could have met him earlier. You'll be fine. With your talent, as long as you are given a hundred years, you might be able to become the second most powerful warlock in the Elf race after the Elf Sage." "Of course, it's not too late now
. , if you are willing, I can teach you all my magic knowledge. As for the demon hunter transformation on you, I will also ask the sages of the elves to help. With their knowledge, as long as there is enough time, I will definitely Can restore them in reverse."
However, Wayne had no intention of being moved by Francesca's proposal. He just looked at Francesca quietly, and then took out a magic-blocking golden shackle from his space bracelet. Place it in front of the sorceress.
Seeing the sorceress retracting her palm as if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake, he said with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "The
shortcomings of becoming a sorcerer are too serious, madam. I think I should continue to be one." A witcher is better."
At this moment, Wayne's door was suddenly knocked, and a rather loud female voice shouted at the door:
"I am the little beautiful cat, Julia Abbatmark. , the leader of the Cat Claw Mercenary Group."
"Is this Mr. Wayne's home? We came here to visit as invited."
After hearing this voice, Wayne put his mouth close to Francesca's ear and whispered said:
"Madam, a group of strange guests have come to my house. If you don't mind, you can welcome them with me." "
Of course, this may expose your whereabouts, so you can also choose to hide upstairs, or Cast a spell to hide your presence."
