Scarlet Mercenaries (3)
"It's a guy..."
Repeated again, Klein touched his chin and looked at Kelin Baier with a scrutiny look, while the mage in a red robe symbolizing evil was also guessing his identity.
As for the dark elves, Klein is too tall. Although red eyes do not mean that he must be pure blood, he cannot guess what kind of bloodline is mixed with.
[Let's talk about the matters discussed later.] Use a tongue stick to interrupt the confrontation between the demon and the evil mage, and Victor hinted that it is important to do the important thing.
Ke Lin walked to the reception desk and carefully took out the mercenary contract that had been covered with for many years from the magic bag he carried with him.
"You are..." Because he was a famous mage, Rooney brought honorifics. He took the slightly damaged contract and seal, and ordered someone to get the team registration book.
"The mercenary group I used to be should not have been cancelled yet." After saying that, Ke Lin's eyes were stalemate on Klein again. On that day, he was discussing matters related to transforming the undead with Victor. After hearing the notification from the messenger room, Victor immediately proposed to borrow the right to use the mercenary group.
This surprised Ke Lin.
With his understanding of the lich, Victor would not easily believe in humans, nor would he form an alliance with anyone. Even himself, who was about to become the undead, was only regarded as the object of equal transactions. What is this guy named Klein's identity...
According to the request of the evil mage, the vice president found the mercenary group he was affiliated with. Although he was not as surprised as the Dark Elf this time, Rooney was still surprised.
Karen was once one of Taran's most famous mercenary groups. The union's record of them stopped thirty years ago. The entire team, which was at its peak, mysteriously disappeared. No one knew their whereabouts, whether in the countryside or in the city, no one had ever seen this mercenary group again.
Because the marking was missing, someone later specially commissioned several mercenaries to find this mercenary, so the past presidents for the past thirty years have not deleted the mercenary records of the group.
"The creator of Karen is Lehman Rodson. Although there is a 30-year mission gap, this group has not been cancelled yet. You are planning to..."
[Change the leader and members.] Before Rooney finished asking, Victor stepped forward to explain, Ke Lin nodded and said nothing.
"Who is the new leader?" Holding a special pen with magic attached, Rooney's eyes glanced back and forth at Victor and Ke Lin's meeting.
There was no sound, and the face was blocked with a cold mask. I really couldn't tell my age. I didn't know what his relationship with the evil mage was.
To Kelin and Rooney expect, Victor pointed at Klein with his arms around his chest.
[He is the new leader.]
"Well... Because I haven't received any missions for a long time, the ranking of the second-level mercenary group of Karen has been cancelled, but other titles are still retained, and the formal team qualifications in the adventure guild are still there." After giving a rough explanation, Rooney stroked the paper with the former mercenary group leader and immediately erased the original magic signature, and then turned his attention to Klein.
"Your full name."
"Klein Zaire."
The demon's answer made Rooney's hand pause slightly.
Although Zaire is a common surname for dark elves, there is another Zaire in this city. Could there be no connection between the two?
While thinking about it, Rooney quickly changed the members of the mercenary group. Rooney pulled out a brand new piece of parchment from the table and handed it out, guiding Klein to fill out the list of other members of the team on it, and also gave a simple summary of the scope and ability of the task.
"Well... members..." glanced at Ke Lin, who was silent, directly excluded him and wrote down the names of Hawk, Reina and Dunan.
Not counting Victor and Ellu, there were only four poorly few people in the entire mercenary group. When the parchment was handed back to Rooney's hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"There are only four people? And are you sure you fill in all the tasks range column?" Not to mention that Kalian was originally a large mercenary group with dozens of people, the task range alone was incredible. That means that whether it is looking for lost items or sending letters, stealing enemy information or killing people. Even if it is a veteran mercenary group, if it is reorganized, it will start from the simplest underlying tasks, but tasks such as sending letters or finding people are usually only novice willing to take on them.
"I haven't been a mercenary for eighty years, so I've been born... It's good to train from scratch. Yes, everyone." Klein turned his head and looked at Reina and Dunan beside him, oh... and Hawk who had just arrived, he was left far behind by two mages, panting and holding the wall to breathe.
After confirming the stamp on the contract, Rooney returned it to Klein along with the previous mercenary badge.
"Captain, will you take on the mission now?" Maybe it was because Klein was used to muttering to himself, maybe it was because of his nagging, in short, after spending a period of time, Reina's concern for him was no longer as much as before.
"We have to hold a regular meeting first, and if we don't make good plans for the future," Klein shook Victor's eyes.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Under Hawk's leadership, the group came to a tavern called "Fairy". Although it is not considered high-end consumption, this is the place where mercenaries come the most frequently.
After Ke Lin generously threw out more than ten silver coins, this group of foreigners who looked no different from terrorists in other mercenaries were taken to a single room with good sound insulation.
The woman who served tea and wine was sent away, and the red-robed mage cast a soundproof barrier, covering the entire room within the spell.
"Okay, the idle people can no longer hear our conversation. It's time to tell your plan?" Ke Lin, who had been stubborn for a long time, finally attacked.
"Anyway, you can't use the mercenary group anymore, so why not give it to us." On the grounds of being injured during the exile, Victor covered his face with a silver-plated mask after returning to the academy. The black robe from the hood to the tail and the mask, unless he is a very familiar person, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between it and the puppet corpse Wood.
"What I'm asking is not a mercenary group, that kind of thing is good." Ke Lin once asked why Victor pretended to be loyal to the imperial prince. Necromancers like them should try to stay away from politics and avoid being targeted by the Holy See.
"Since you have given up ownership of the mercenary group, no matter what we do next, it will have nothing to do with you."
The evil mage glared at Klein who interrupted, and felt that his combat power was good. Even if Ke Lin had fire in his heart, he would not tear his face before he was not prepared enough. He had a premonition that this mixed-race dark elf would be very difficult if he was an enemy.
"You don't have to worry about this guy's affairs. You will be very busy in the future, so busy that you don't have time to meet him." Victor stood up and stopped two guys who didn't like each other. He glanced at the four humans sitting far away. The lich explained his future plans in a very obscure way.
"Of course, this guy and I entered the human world for some evil secrets. Well, since it is a secret, don't expect me to tell it. All you need to do is play their respective roles, which can only reduce the probability of your involvement and doubt." Klein stopped him by Victor after saying a few words.
"Hey...you shouldn't want to include this old man, right?" Klein heard Victor's intention. He was stopped just after he opened his head.
"Shut up! I don't want to spend the whole day listening to your nonsense." Victor, who knows that the devil talks a lot and does not like to talk, must not explain in more detail: "I know you have a mage tower. After successful transformation, you cannot continue to stay in the academy, so every time I go out with this guy, the precious clothes must be placed in you. Of course, your care will be rewarded, and I will repay the corresponding undead knowledge. As for you, you have a question about why I want to be loyal to Perel, there is only one reason I can say. This is also forced by current affairs. A father with a special identity will naturally have more unnecessary troubles than ordinary people. I don't need to explain this specifically. If you cooperate well, our cooperation can last longer. As for the moment, I have not found a more suitable candidate than you."
Ke Lin is a very good pawn, obsessed with the pursuit of magic and a desire for power. He is also a famous evil mage. Hiding behind him can allow Victor to avoid the attention of the Holy See to the greatest extent. This is the direct reason why he is not eager to clear his relationship with Ke Lin.
Ke Lin didn't know Victor's true identity. He knew that as a lich, there were many spare "body" within the normal category, but he was surprised that Victor would join forces with the dark elves. The undead were famous for acting alone and rarely cooperated with other species.
"Okay, without threatening me, I will not interfere with anything you and this guy did." The negotiations were fruitless, and Ke Lin did not force it. At present, the most important thing for him is to successfully transform through Victor's hand, and the others... To be honest, Ke Lin is not very interested, as long as it does not affect his existence.
"Wait...Who is Perel?" The devil did not ignore the name of this person.
"The First Prince." The concise answer certainly cannot satisfy Klein's curiosity.
"Hey~ It's your turn to explain to me now."
"I will give you a satisfactory explanation, soon." Take out a bag full of gold coins and throw it to Hawk who is nestling beside him: "Take it, change it for good equipment, and rent a suitable small courtyard by the way. It is not a solution to stay in a hotel for a long time. As for you... go with me to meet the employer of the first deal."
"Who?" Klein was suspicious of Victor finding a business so soon. Could it be that Perel?
"His Highness Perel Notting, the future financial supporter of the Carran Mercenary Group."
