As the end of the cold winter season began to gather in Komodo town. This made Kate, the owner of Yege Tavern, much more busy than usual. However, it was obvious that this busyness did not make him feel bored, but he was enjoying it. After pouring a glass of Suther's wine for a guest at the bar, he picked up a clean rag and put up a wine glass as usual. This was his habit of doing.

"A glass of stout beer!" a sound came from the bar seat with a bit of sharpness and funnyness.

Kate turned his head and saw a guy with pointed green ears sitting on the bar chair. Because of height problems, only the green little head was leaking on the bar.

"Hi! Aivo! You're back! I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you've gone to Tarira. You've been going for a long time. Is everything going well?" Kate said while smiling and pouring a glass of dark beer for the elf sitting at the bar.

"Oh! It's a long time indeed. It took me a lot of time to go on this journey, but as long as there are shining gold coins, everything is acceptable, isn't it?" Avo said as he picked up the wine glass and took a big mouthful.

"Haha...yes, there are only glittering gold coins, this is nothing!" Kate laughed.

"By the way, Kate! I'll give my guards a glass of dark beer, and give each of us your specialty dishes. You know we haven't eaten for a day!" The goblin patted the bar and pointed behind him and said.

Kate only noticed that Ivo was not alone, and there were four people following him. A warrior who looked in his forties with a big sword with his hands on his back was standing behind him.

There was also a young man who looked twenty-six or seven years old with a bow and arrow on his back and a small man who always liked to hide himself in the shadows sat at a table next to him. What surprised him the most was the last one, a female magician wearing a magic robe and holding a staff in his hand sat with them.

"Oh! Avo! It seems that your recent deal is quite good." Kate raised his eyebrows while greeting the waitress and serving several people with food. You should know that the three men are not a big deal. The configurations of warriors, archers and thieves are common in adventurers and mercenaries, but it is surprising that a magician appears in this small team.

You should know that as a spell casting profession, a magician is afraid that even a first-level magician will be hiring, and the price is definitely not low. Any spell casting profession is a money-burning machine, which is recognized by the Tarenmia continent. Naturally, if you want to hire such a profession, you will not even look at it if you want to hire such a profession.

Generally, it is impossible for some small adventure teams or mercenary teams to see the caster. Even if there are few medium-sized mercenary organizations, there are many magicians, and most of them are magic apprentices who can only be auxiliary.

"Oh! Of course! My dream is to set up my own business group!" Avo said with some pride in Kate's words.

"But it's rare to see you being so generous! The price of my signature dish is not low." Kate said in a low voice with a smile.

"Oh! Kate, how could you say that? I have always been generous in my actions. It's just some gold coins, and their strength can afford such treatment." Avo said in a bold manner. However, when talking about gold coins, it was obvious that a heartache expression flashed across his face.

After receiving the gesture from Avo, the warrior also walked towards the table where the other three people were sitting. After the food and food were served, the four people chatted quietly while eating. The people were obviously used to the noise in the tavern. Seeing the conversation of several people, the oldest soldier who seemed to be steady in his personality was obviously the leader of this team.

The young man carrying a bow and arrow was more talkative. He ate while saying to the leading warrior: "Captain, why do you think those elves with sharp ears have to follow our employer here this time? Yege Forest only produces some low-level magic materials, and it seems that nothing is needed by the elves."

He said as he looked at a table near the door, and saw two people wearing cloaks and hoods on their heads sitting on the table. They were asking for some very light food.

The leading warrior looked at him and said, "Lecher, just do your own thing. Why those elves come over is their business with their employer. The employer has paid us enough, so what we have to do is to protect the employer's safety. As for other things related to employers, we should not ask about them. This is the rule!"

It seemed that the warriors were very prestigious in this squad. After hearing his words, Laikel stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

But it was obvious that he felt very uncomfortable if he didn't speak. After a while, he turned his head and said to the shorter and thin man: "Mac, although the contract we signed this time is a bit troublesome, the employer paid a lot of commissions. Look at how we replaced the equipment on our body. I've long wanted a strong elf bow. And you, as a thief, how can you not have a sharp dagger? Why don't we go to the auction together next time?"

"The auction is too expensive!" The thief named McGonagall was obviously a taciturn person. Even when facing a question from his companion, he just uttered a few words and stopped talking, which made Lekel feel very bored.

Given the taciturn thief, Laikel said to the female magician who had been sitting there quietly eating: "Caria, don't you want a new magical staff? I remember that your staff was slapped by the fire leopard in the last battle. It seems that it can't be increased anymore, right? And the captain's sword is also time to repair it."

The female mage who asked Caria to put down the knife and fork in her hand, took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth gracefully, saying, "Okay, Lekel. The previous failed Tarila's mission, not only did we not make a penny, but we even paid the deposit for the 500 gold coins. If it weren't for this escort mission, we would probably not be able to afford to eat. Although the employer gave it generously, many people in the team's last mission injured, and several dead members also needed to give their families the pension. Treating injuries and pensions would require a lot of money. Finally, we would not have much gold coins left after this mission."

Lekel picked up the wine glass and took a sip of beer in disappointment and said, "Then why don't we agree to the long-term contract proposed by our employer? That's a lot of money. If we can sign the contract, the reward will be enough for everyone in the group to update the equipment."

After hearing his words, the leader of the warrior frowned and said helplessly: "It is because the reward for that contract is too generous that I did not agree immediately."

When the female magician Caria heard this, she put down the wine glass in her hand and asked, "Captain, do you suspect there is a trap in this contract?"

As the leader of the regiment, the warrior shook his head and said, "If someone from other races gave such a generous long-term contract, maybe I would sign it directly. But the race of our employer this time made me worry. You know, goblins have never been a generous race, but this time our goblin employer took action and was a bit weird. Then it is very likely that if we had to face after signing the contract, the danger we had to face would be much greater."

The other three people were silent after hearing this. Although the mercenaries themselves are professions to deal with danger, they did not mean that they did not care about danger. Moreover, the rewards given to them this time were indeed a bit too high, which made them consider whether the dangers they faced after accepting the contract exceeded their ability.

Aivo didn't know that his guard was frightened by his rare generous attitude, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The journey to Tarila Forest was not peaceful. He was almost killed by robbers or monsters several times. For the sake of his life and a bright future, he had to urgently hire a group of guards. The highest-level mercenary group he encountered was the group he hired.

It was a coincidence that the mercenary group had just failed to make money because of a mission, and not only did they lose a group of people, but the group continued to turn over funds. Aiwo was overjoyed and offered a high price to hire the other party to protect the safety of his trip for the first time. However, when he proposed to hire the other party for a long time, the other party refused unexpectedly. Even if he offered a high price that he would never offer, the other party just said that he would consider it.

After drinking the last tin of dark beer in the cup, Aivo slapped the table and said, "Old friend Kate, you should have free rooms here. Open a few rooms for me and my friends." He said, pointing to the top leaders of the four mercenary regiments behind him and two people sitting by the door who were hiding their looks with hoods.

"Of course!" Kaite said, nodding, and then he shouted to Mary who was greeting guests: "Mary! Take these guests to the room upstairs, this is the key."

After dodging the hands of several drunkards, Mary came to the side of the people and said, "Customer, please come with me."

The four high-level members of the mercenary group and the two people sitting by the door followed Mary to the second floor. Obviously, the running around along the way made several people feel tired. After saying goodbye at the door, several people returned to their room to rest.

Ye Ge became silent on the second floor of the tavern. Occasionally, a few words of voice came from the hotel door, and the sound was very slight. Among the few people, except for the female mage and Aiwo, the others lived in a multi-person room. Two people with hooded people stayed together, and three men lived in a mercenary group.

After more than ten minutes, the door of a room next to Aivo was gently pushed open, and then a person walked out of the inside that wrapped his whole body tightly with a cloak. He walked to Aivo's door and knocked on Aivo's door with a certain rhythm. Soon the door was carefully opened a little, and the mysterious man flashed into Aivo's room.
