Noland, the base of Jefrk's Snake.
Leader Reyek was holding an ink pen and sketching musical notes one after another on a piece of music.
This mercenary group leader's hands were so big that he could only barely hold the pen with his thumb and index finger. The musical notes he sketched on the paper were the complete opposite of his rough appearance, revealing an elegant and nimble beauty.
"Reyek, this is a business deal. We've been friends for so many years, I won't mistreat you in terms of remuneration."
Sitting opposite Reyek was a man dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes.
"What business?"
Reyek put down the pen in his hand. He was writing a new song.
Although his boss, Josiah, would occasionally let him sing a few songs, Reyek couldn't always rely on Josiah.
Therefore, Reyek specially found a musician who was not afraid of death to go hunting with Jefrk's Snake.
Usually, during breaks, Reyek would discuss music with him.
It turned out that not only was Reyek talented in battle, but he was also talented in arranging music, especially when it came to this new style of music, rock.
"I want to hire a few members of your mercenary group."
The man took out a temporary employment contract from the mercenary guild and pushed it in front of Reyek.
"Employment?"
Reyek picked up the contract and skimmed through it.
There were three names on the contract, but Reyek didn't remember anyone in his mercenary group with a strange name like "Scarlet Snake, God of Slaughter on the Road."
The other two were more normal, but they all had the prefix "Scarlet Snake" in front of their names.
"I don't remember these people in my mercenary group. I don't like to joke."
Reyek had a face that could scare babies to tears, and it was even scarier when it was gloomy.
In fact, he rarely got angry, but the man in front of him interrupted his songwriting inspiration. In this case, no matter how good Reyek's temper was, he had to directly ask him to leave.
"Of course it's not a joke, Reyek … These three names are on the Holy Spirit. In all of Noland, the only people who would use the name" Scarlet Snake "are probably the members of your mercenary group."
The man pointed at the emblem on Reyek's leather armor. It was a snake biting its own tail in a ring.
The emblem was the Snake of Yaffelk.
"Holy Spirit?"
"It's a game that recently appeared on the Weave."
"I know."
Reyek wasn't interested in the Holy Ghost game. Many of his team members were Holy Ghost players.
While camping in the camp, drinking ale and roasted meat while playing a few rounds of Holy Ghost, it had become a must-do for many party members.
"Why did you recruit them?"
Reyek didn't know who the owner of the three names was, but the employer didn't seem to be looking for him for Jefrke's Snake to do some dirty work for him or for guarding him.
"Participate in a competition. The Holy Spirit will soon hold a world competition, and all countries will participate … The king of our coastal country ordered me to organize this team," he said.
"King?"
Reyek was born on an island near the sea. Strictly speaking, he was also a citizen of the sea, but he had no intention of being loyal to the king.
As long as he had enough money, Jefrke's Snake was willing to serve anyone.
"Five thousand gold coins. As long as you let these three party members join my team, train them for a month, and participate in this competition, I'll give you five thousand gold coins as remuneration. If you get first place, the remuneration will be doubled."
The king's representative didn't beat around the bush and directly told him the remuneration.
"Let me ask who they are."
Reyek was also considering this matter. The price he offered could indeed be described as sky-high.
They didn't need to risk their lives to participate in some dangerous battle. They could just sit and play games for five thousand gold coins as remuneration.
This was the remuneration that Jefrke's Snake could only get from a large hunting mission in the past, and this kind of mission didn't happen every day.
Reyek opened the Weave and sent a message to the Jefrke's Snake Conference, sending all the names mentioned in the contract to the conference.
"Reporting to Leader, God of Massacre is the name of Koya's Holy Spirit Summoner."
"Wah! Uncle Qian, you dare to sell me out! Boss … White Sword and the Pharmacist are Morris and Rona! "
"Everyone, come to the base's study."
Recently, Reyek had also gotten used to using the communication function of the council to announce the recent arrangements. This was far more efficient than shouting with his voice.
Especially during hunting, the success rate of the conference's voice function increased by 30%!
The three party members who were pointed out quickly arrived at the study. When Reyek saw them, he felt that his friend must have done it on purpose.
Be it the Advisor Rona, the Chaos Demon Swordsman Morris, or the Archer Koya, they were all the eight pillars of Jefrke's Snake.
Recently, Jefrke's Snake's main hunting mission was to film 'World of Monsters'. Rona was the only cameraman in the team, and without him, the series would face disaster.
"What? So we're participating in the competition? Let me go, Leader. I promise I'll bring you back the champion. "
The Archer heard that they weren't called here to punish them, but to discuss participating in a competition related to Holy Spirits. He instantly became extremely arrogant.
"Count Henn, we're honored to accept your invitation, but please forgive us for rejecting it."
The Archer's excitement was quickly extinguished by Rona, who was the Advisor. He immediately rejected the noble's invitation.
"I've already paid you enough. This isn't a difficult mission!" Rona's expression instantly turned ugly.
"The payment you've offered is indeed high, but it's not proportional to our profits. We're going to film 'World of Monsters' this month. In the long run, we'll be able to maintain our credibility with the audience, and the profits we get are much more than the payment you've offered," Rona said politely.
He was the only member with a noble's past in this group of mercenaries, so he was usually in charge of negotiating with the nobles.
"We can accept this mission."
Reyek made a different decision at this moment.
"Leader!" Rona felt that Reyek should understand how important 'World of Monsters' was to Jefrke's Snake.
"I'll find someone to replace you as the cameraman."
Reyek showed a post on the spellcasters' forum to everyone present.
This post was pinned at the top of the game section not long after it was published, and the number of replies had already exceeded 300.
"The reward for the champion … 300,000 gold coins?" Rona's eyes widened in disbelief. He took off his gold-rimmed spectacles, wiped the lenses with his hand, and put them back on.
