It didn't take long for the owner to prepare a simple dinner. Since he could only earn a few dozen silver coins a day, of course, he wouldn't treat the guests with a lavish meal. There was only some bread, cheese, and fried eggs. However, everyone had barbecued meat every day in the forest, which was unbearable. Now that they could finally eat a normal meal, everyone ate to their heart's content and quickly finished all the food.
After dinner, Morrisons, who was in a bad mood, went back to rest early. Han Jin, on the other hand, couldn't stay idle. He heard that Isolated Cliff City was a city that never slept, so he wanted to go out and take a look. He told Sassoux about this idea, and Sassoux and Han Jin had the same idea. Together with Sunier and Qi Li, the four of them walked out of the inn together.
There were nine business groups in Isolated Cliff City, as well as a powerful Mercenary Association. There were guards and mercenaries everywhere. In a city like this, there were two industries that were very developed: wine, sex, and gambling.
The mercenaries risked their lives and made a fortune. When they returned to the human city, they needed to relax and vent. No one could live in tension all the time. That was why there were so many bars in Isolated Cliff City. Some of the streets were almost connected to each other.
There were no brothels or casinos in Isolated Cliff City, but the bars could provide all three services. The waitresses floated around the tables like butterflies. After negotiating with the guests, they could go up to the second floor to fulfill the contract. Most of the bars had casinos for the guests to have fun. For many mercenaries, the bar was their second home. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they would drag the maids upstairs to fool around for a while. After that, they would come down and drink again. After that, they would go and try their luck. What a happy life … Of course, you had to be able to earn money.
Han Jin and Sassoux walked in front, whispering sneakily. After listening to Sassoux's introduction, Han Jin really wanted to go to the bar to have a look. However, there were two people following behind them, and the money was in Sunier's hands. It wasn't easy to ask for money, so he could only give up.
"Sassoux, where is the Mercenary Association?" Han Jin asked.
"I don't know." Sassoux shook his head.
"Haven't you been to Isolated Cliff City before?"
"No, who said I was here?"
"Then what you said just now …"
"The bars in Isolated Cliff City are very famous. I heard about it from others," Sassoux said with a smile.
"I thought you were a regular here." Han Jin was a little disappointed.
"Don't joke around. How can I have so much money to waste?" Sassoux blinked. "Regular customer? You want me to bring … "
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything," Han Jin turned around and called out, "Sunier, do you know where the Mercenary Association is?"
"I don't know."
At this moment, a clear voice said, "Sir, do you need a tour guide?"
Han Jin turned around and saw a twelve or thirteen year old boy standing there. His face was full of childishness and his body was thin. His clothes were a little shabby, but they were very clean. There was also a long sword hanging from his waist. Compared to his body, the sword didn't seem to match and was almost dragged to the ground.
"Tour guide?"
"Yes, sir. My fee is very cheap. Only three silver coins a day."
"Little guy, you're quite good at doing business. It's already so late, and you want three silver coins just to take us around?" Sassoux said with a smile. Although they were now rich, their mindset hadn't changed. Especially Sassoux, who had been traveling all over the world all year round and encountered too many situations where money was a problem. Therefore, he was very careful about money.
"Sir, when I said one day, I meant the whole day. At this time tomorrow, as long as you want, I will accompany you all the time," the boy said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone.
"What's your name?" Han Jin asked.
"You can call me little Joseph."
"Okay, we'll hire you. First, take us to the Mercenary Association." Han Jin nodded and said.
"Sir, do you need a carriage?"
"No, we'll walk."
Little Joseph's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he concealed it very well. He immediately smiled and said, "Sir, please follow me."
Han Jin and Sassoux weren't simple people. They both noticed the change in the boy. Sassoux laughed in a low voice and said, "This kid … is still testing us. Is he afraid that we can't afford the commission?"
"Maybe he wants to see if he can get more tips." Han Jin laughed.
The Mercenary Association was not too far away from their current location. After walking for more than 20 minutes, a tall brick building jumped into their view. There was also a large square in front of them. Hundreds of large torches were lit around the square, illuminating the square as if it was daytime.
There were many professions gathered in the square. From their equipment, it was easy to determine their professions. There were warriors, Knights, Magicians, and Archers. None of them looked weak.
"Sir, if you want to accept a mercenary mission, you'd better learn more about the Tarasha Mountains. You can ask me. My consultation fee is very cheap, 50 silver coins." Little Joseph showed his white teeth.
"Consultation fee?" Han Jin laughed.
"Sir, this isn't funny." Little Joseph said solemnly, "The Mercenary Association has a total of 14 teleportation portals, which can send mercenaries to the depths of the Tarasha Mountains. Do you know the specific magic coordinates of each portal? Do you know what to pay attention to after being teleported? Do you know what high-level major monsters to be careful of? In order to protect the mercenaries, the Mercenary Association has built permanent shelters in the Tarasha Mountains. If you encounter a major monster that you can't defeat, do you know where to run? "
Little Joseph's words left Han Jin and Sassoux speechless.
"I think your life is worth more than 50 silver coins, right?"
"You know all this?" Han Jin asked.
"Of course," Little Joseph replied proudly.
Sunier walked up from behind with a smile. She flicked her finger, and a gold coin flew out of her hand toward Little Joseph. Little Joseph's movements were very agile. He caught the coin, looked at it carefully, and put it away.
"I've paid you the consultation fee. Give us an introduction," Sunier said softly.
"You're giving it all to me?" Little Joseph asked slyly.
"As long as your introduction can satisfy us."
Sassoux curled his lips. This elf … is too much of a spendthrift.
"You're from the same mercenary group?" Little Joseph's gaze swept over Han Jin and the others.
"Yes." Han Jin smiled.
"I suggest that you don't take the risk. You lack powerful warriors."
What kind of introduction was this? Han Jin was about to speak when suddenly, a violent magic fluctuation came from behind the square. Then, the professionals in the square began to riot.
