Walking on the familiar streets of Vance, looking at the endless flow of people, the mood is completely different this time.
It is still the same sparse crowd but compared to the tense atmosphere during the Alliance Treaty, it is much better.
After we fended off Vance, the shadows behind us disappeared one by one. Other than that silly cow who returned the way he came, the others disappeared into the underground tunnel, obviously heading to the surface.
At this moment, while the merchant group is preparing in Vance, I intend to do some private matters. For example, changing that darned broken iron sword and registering a small mercenary group here to make things more convenient.
"Mercenary group? Us? There's no need for that. "Momo is obviously anxious to leave this city.
"Yes, it will be much more convenient to travel on the surface with the identity of a mercenary."
"I don't want to serve those humans."
"Of course, we just need to establish a group and not do any missions. I don't have that much time to wander around. It is just a name. We can use the name of a mission to go to the various checkpoints. After passing through the Donglan Principality, we still have to pass through a few countries. It will be much more convenient to get a mercenary qualification. I can borrow one then. "
"Then why do we need to register as a mercenary group here? Isn't it better to register on the surface?"
Momo and I chatted casually at the entrance of the Mercenary Association. At the side, a bunch of Dark Elves who provoked us are lying on the ground.
The Moonlight Ritual doesn't come without a price. The right to travel on the surface has to be exchanged with one's life. To Rose, who has always viewed the entire Dark Elf race as her exclusive property, this action of changing her faith to the Moonlight Goddess is equivalent to slapping her in the face. Furthermore, when Rose slaps herself in the face, she usually flips the table.
Gray Elves are always the special offerings of Rose in the Dark Elf Family. The news of two Gray Elves appearing in the city would probably spread to all the Dark Elf Families not long after we entered the city. Perhaps, before they could even lay their hands on us, they might even start fighting amongst themselves.
Thus, even though time is tight, I insisted on registering as a mercenary group here. Naturally, Momo, who is in a hurry to escape, doesn't understand my actions.
"Although every country has a Mercenary Association, from a certain perspective, mercenaries are also a backup force of the local government and country. If you register on the surface and a war breaks out at the place where you register, wouldn't you be dragged into it as well?"
"I see. It does make sense."
Momo nodded in agreement.
"Madam, although this young man is telling the truth, the truth is not the main point. Even if the country perishes, free mercenaries will not go to the battlefield for free. That kind of war mobilization has always been a decoration for the deaf. "
"This little brother's current motive should be to make use of the fact that the Vance Mercenary Association is probably the only organization in the world that doesn't require any proof of identity to make his identity untraceable. Many wanted criminals and assassins do this. "
It was a rather handsome centaur. His upper body was covered in purple-bronze soft armor, while his lower body was covered in light horse armor. The bone bow on his back shone with an orange arcane light. It was obviously not an ordinary item.
"Casio?"
"Yes, sir. Although I don't know how you managed to convince my stubborn grandfather to let me out, since the old Chieftain had given an order, I will obey it."
The one in front of me is one of the grandsons of old Minial, as well as the brother of the new Beastman Sovereign Anya in name. However, different from the other brothers who dote on Anya, Casio is rather ambitious. What gives one a headache is that he has the ability and prestige to turn his ambition into reality. After going through several wars with the outside world, the Gold-ranked Bow Casio became a famous hero of the tribe.
However, to old Minial, it would be a pity to kill this ambitious grandson. However, if he were to die, the possibility of him rebelling is too high and it would be hard for Anya to suppress it.
Thus, when I asked old Minial to borrow an outstanding centaur archer from a certain channel, old Minial thought of this Gold-ranked Bow without hesitation.
At this moment, Casio stands there quietly, as though he is a healthy and beautiful statue of a hero. He doesn't seem to be bothered by the outside world, but looking at his trembling ears and the fingers that stroke the arrow from time to time, nothing that happens in the surroundings can escape his senses.
"Sir, are we going to register now?"
"No, let's wait for one more person. I have arranged to meet him here."
Looking at how the Dark Elves fear this local bully and don't dare to step forward to cause trouble, at least for now, the arrival of this respectful and courteous Casio is a good thing. However, to be able to scare the cunning Dark Elves to the point that they don't even dare to approach him shows how scary this man is.
"He is completely incomparable to that foolish unlucky fellow. No wonder old Minial would happily kick him out of the door."
The reason why he brought along a centaur archer is because the weakness of the 3 of us Knight who don't have a mount is too obvious — — our short legs. Due to the existence of centaur tribes in quite a few of the Kingdom of the Elves on the surface, the centaurs are one of the few Beastman races that are able to survive on both the surface and the underground. As long as we do a little disguise, no one would be able to guess that Casio comes from the underground.
The other person makes up for our other weakness. Very quickly, the person I am waiting for arrives.
However, rather than calling that fellow a human, it would be more accurate to call him a humanoid armor. A grey gigantic heavy armor covers everything. Outside of the bizarre bird helmet, I can only faintly see two bright eyes.
Behind his back is a 3-meter long spear, a pair of swords by his waist, and a Dwarven gun. His bizarre equipment makes it impossible for me to recognize his specific job. However, looking at the string of Dwarven hand grenades by his waist and the gunpowder bag on his back, he should have just completed his huge purchase of gunpowder.
"Freak Prince?"
Back then, when we were stationed at the outskirts of Vance City, Momo had met this Iron City's Prince Grimm. At this moment, she shudders and instinctively takes two steps back.
Of course, I know why she retreats in fear. That Prince Grimm is basically a humanoid gunpowder warehouse. Furthermore, he is obviously a war maniac and is inconceivably sensitive.
If I accidentally bump into him, it would explode.
If I suddenly pass by him, it would explode.
If I enter his room without his permission, it would still explode.
Alright, even if I don't do anything, as long as I am not too far away from him, it is possible for me to explode.
However, he is different from the Beyar Brothers who always involve themselves in trouble. His explosions are all related to traps and mechanisms. It is obvious that they are controlled and intentional. He doesn't trust anyone and is always on his guard. This is obviously related to his growth.
I am also not some psychotherapist who is able to treat his war syndrome. The reason why I asked him to come is that his sense of vigilance and instincts would be useful to me.
On a journey, the easiest thing to lose one's life isn't a strong enemy in the open, but a dagger in the back and a venomous snake in the bushes. I have a premonition that his sense of danger will be of great use.
"Grimm, nice to meet you. I am Rolande, Holy Knight Rolande. You should have received the notice. In this temporary team, you will listen to me."
The man with the helmet nods his head silently, indicating that he has no objections.
"Alright, everyone is here. Let's go in. I hope that Diana has already completed her cleaning mission."
Yes, cleaning mission. In front of the window for handing in missions, there are already a bunch of reckless mercenaries lying on the ground. They are the targets to be cleaned.
This isn't the first time that I have mingled with mercenaries. If these fellows who sell their lives for money were to see a newcomer of the same trade, most of them would try out the newcomer. This is to fight for the resources for the mission, and from a certain perspective, it is also a blessing for the newbies. Of course, passing the test is a blessing. If they fail, it is a cruel baptism.
As for me, since there is bound to be a clash, then I might as well throw the Legend-rank Holy Knight Diana to them to crash into a metal plate.
Obviously, the clash is already over. The unlucky fellows lying on the ground are the losers.
Slowly walking to Diana's side, I put on a standard 59-style business smile and say to the service staff.
"Register a small mercenary group. I am the leader and this beautiful lady is the vice leader."
"Alright, alright." The ones lying on the ground are the backbone of the association. If they don't know that they have met with a tough opponent at this moment, they would really be fools.
"May I know the name of the mercenary group?"
"Momo and her companions!"
Alright, everyone ignores this female Elf who is trying to act cute on purpose.
"Law and Holy Light. We have a Justice Knight and a Holy Knight. I think it is very fitting." Diana says hesitantly.
I shake my head. From a certain perspective, this name is also a vexation of Diana herself.
"Relying on both sides is equivalent to not touching either side. It isn't good to keep hesitating." I say a few more words with a hidden meaning. Diana hesitates for a moment before nodding her head in the end.
"Then, Law and Justice."
I still shake my head. This means that the restrictions of a mercenary group that is connected to the God of Law are too strong. It is easy to cause inexplicable disputes. Thus, I toss out the good name that I have prepared for a long time.
This is a name that sounds much better than Ah Dang and Ah Be.
"New Free Gentlemen Alliance!"
In an instant, the faces of the two former Town Security members collapse. One pulls out his sword while the other stares angrily. How can they accept the name of their old enemy?
"I agree. The name Gentlemen Alliance sounds nice."
However, a familiar figure suddenly appears in front of us. In an instant, as though we have suddenly met a gigantic nightmare, we instinctively take two steps back.
"Beifeng! Why are you here? "
"Of course, it is to travel to the Surface with you guys."
"Nonsense, didn't you say that you want to go on a journey to find yourself …"
Alright, looking at how he stares straight at the Centaur Archer while drooling, I know his true goal.
"I say! Don't even think about it! It is impossible for us to let you join us. "
"Actually, my strength is not bad. I am definitely a qualified Beast Hunter."
Of course, I know that he is definitely a qualified Beast Hunter. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death after causing so much trouble.
Based on his love for pets, I wouldn't be surprised if he were to condense a Soul Imprint like the 'Love of the Beast' to advance into a Legend. However, even if a Beast Tamer possesses decent long-range attack capabilities and is able to use pets for scouting and sentry purposes, which is obviously an ability that we need, I still looked for Casio and Clint. I just don't want to be together with this pervert.
"However, I feel that the Gentlemen Alliance isn't enough to describe our surging passion. I suggest calling it the Wild Brothers Club."
Alright, he seemed to have long considered himself as a member of the team, and he actually wanted to write down this strange name with a pen.
"Stop!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Alright, the two Town Security members can no longer hold back the 'excitement' in their hearts. Just like before, they use their fists to express their deep feelings.
As for me, I make use of the chaos to get in front of the counter and say to the confused attendant.
"Absolute Gentlemen Alliance, thank you."
