Chapter 3 Getting Ready to Go
"Ofregan is here, hell, I don't want these vicious women's props." There is no doubt that the only one who will explode on the spot is Mobak, the believer of Ofregan. The dwarf slapped his helmet hard and roared loudly, "These priests of the lake gods are the most evil guys. They will kidnap the children of our Son of Fire and raise them as food to eat them in winter."
"Mobak, you are seventy-one years old this year." Shur stared at the dwarf with expressionless face for a long time before sighing deeply, "Don't tell me the fairy tale that scares children in your tribe, okay? This is not what you should do at your age."
A dwarf in his seventies, who is about twenty years old, is considered a young man, but if he still can't tell the story before bed and reality, it's really hard to tell. Of course, it's necessary to rule out the possibility that he had originally intended.
"Okay, but then I don't accept it either! These women are dark inside, I..."
"No problem, it's better not to accept it. Bishop Bonita, it's not easy to make the blessing of water, especially if it's even harder to be blessed by the gods. Someone can save you one, you should be happy..."
"Wait, captain, I figured it out. I can't let these women live a better life. I want them too, and I want two."
"Dream, and shut up from now on, otherwise Mia will silence you." Shul was too lazy to pay attention to this silly guy who was full of complaining. "Anyway, one blessing for Water is one, I think this has made up for the risks everyone takes."
Indeed, Water Blessings is a very precious sacred prop, and it can even be said to be a priceless treasure. Although I don’t know its specific production method, it is certain that every time I make one, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources. It is very rare that the Temple of Water can send two or three out of a year. Most of the time, the Temple of the Temple only sends one out a year at most.
It is extremely rare to send seven at once like now. Only in the chaotic era three thousand years ago, the nine heroes fought for the goddess Wendy. After fighting against the evil god believers, each of them received a blessing of water. By the way, it must be noted that the evil god who was confronted at that time seemed to be a name that was hanging on the mouth of Mobak every day. Those evil god believers actually had another name, namely the Warrior of the Fire God, well, it is the Abbot of the Vulcan Church.
Such a precious prop actually has only one function, but it is this only function that makes most warriors flock to it, and makes countless powerful people in high positions dream of it. This prop can be used actively every ten days, taking effect for half an hour at a time, during which time it is immune to all toxin effects. Even if the poison was used before, it can be quickly excreted after the prop takes effect. For many people, having it is equivalent to having several more lives, so it is no wonder that the blessing of water is sought after by countless people.
Everyone was surprised. Even Moria and Suff had just learned about the news, but everyone controlled their emotions well and did not reveal their thoughts.
"That's all about remuneration. I'll give you the last chance to raise objections, right? Then let's enter the pre-war arrangement."
The two believers of Water were surprised to find that when Shuer said he would start the task arrangement, the noisy and chaotic guys in front of him suddenly fell silent, and the soundproof barrier suddenly became silent. The old Bonita felt that these unruly lone mercenaries seemed unreliable at all, but when they saw their sudden concentration, some even took out paper and pen to prepare for detailed records. It seemed that these people were not unable to entrust them.
Of course, you must focus on it. Article 7 of the mercenary code. Pre-war arrangement is the most important meeting during the mission. Every piece of information may be related to life and death. Every piece of information is ignored, the chance of survival will greatly reduce, not only your own, but also your teammates. Any mercenary who does not pay attention to pre-war arrangements will definitely not survive three tasks.
Everyone has seen such idiots with tragic endings for so many times, how could they not be focused?
"Task goals, Water Heart, secondary goals, all the strange things that can be obtained in "just-hand".
"You don't need to know what the Heart of Water is, and you don't need to discuss the importance of the Heart of Water. It has nothing to do with us. What we have to do is to take Pastor Kelly to find the Heart of Water, then help her get it, and finally bring her back. Note that the focus of the task is to protect her safety, which is everyone's first priority."
"Mr. Wright, I..." Kelly couldn't continue, because she found that from some point onwards, Seul had become like a different person, and even her eyes became fierce and full of oppression.
"Pastor Kelly, I told you before, and now I will emphasize it again. You want to enter the projection of another world with us. Yes, but you must remember that you must absolutely obey my orders. From now on, as long as I have the orders, you must complete it without any discounts, even if I order you to take off your clothes immediately, you must execute without hesitation."
"If you can do it, the task continues, and if you can't do it, then I'm sorry, the task will be terminated immediately. Now I'll ask you again last time, can you fulfill this requirement?"
"I...no problem." Although Bonita, who was standing beside him, showed resistance to such a request, Kelly still looked indifferent and nodded expressionlessly.
"Hey? That's it, let's try it first?" Lin Jing stared at Kelly with big shining eyes and said blankly, "Why don't you take off one now?"
"Moriya, don't make a fuss." He knocked the deer's head with a serious face, but he secretly gave her a thumbs up. Obviously, this troublemaker to ease the atmosphere came in time. "Pastor Kelly, since you said you could do it, then the first order is because you don't know when you should speak. So, once the task begins, during any discussion, I have not asked you for your opinion, please do not ask on the spot, unless you think you don't ask for it, there will be casualties immediately."
Nodded indifferently, Kelly said nothing.
"I know what you just wanted to say, but those are pure waste of time. If you really enter the projection of another world with the idea of treating you as a consumable, you probably won't be able to survive for a day. As long as you treat this action as a dangerous transportation task, you are the items you are being transported, so you can get out alive. So, there is no need to say that kind of nonsense."
Nodding again, Kelly was indeed in a state and no longer made any sound.
"Continue with the topic just now. Due to her existence, she is responsible for the treatment of ordinary situations. I am mainly responsible for assisting. Everyone adjusts their tactics and does not make any mistakes. In an emergency, refer to the on-site situation, everyone relies on experience to act. If there is a situation where on-site responses are contrary to each other, my choice shall prevail."
It should be like this, every task is like this, this time there is just an extra outsider. Although what Shuer said is obscure, everyone already understands that once an emergency occurs, everyone completely ignores the outsider and acts according to their original cooperation habits. As for whether to save the outsider, Shuer's choice shall prevail.
"At this point, are there any questions? Is there any questions raised now."
"Boss, I have never found a specific target in the projection of another world, and I don't know what the characteristics of the Heart of Water have. It's hard to find it." Although Marcajren only participated in Zhuying for the second time, he has cooperated many times in the range of Pavatiga. He knew that his main responsibility was to search for items, so he had to ask the questions clearly.
"You don't have to think about these things. It's the job of Pastor Kelly, and no one can find it except her." After dispelling the concerns of Halfling, Shuer looked around and confirmed that the others had no questions, and continued, "The following is the specific schedule."
"I'm so anxious to call everyone here. Thank you all for your hard work. Don't mess around tonight, rest and restore your energy. I will move freely tomorrow day, prepare to follow the shadows and materials. I will gather at the city gate at 6 o'clock the day after tomorrow. I will be out of date. Mia, what questions do you have?"
"Each person has three thousand gold coins for material compensation, which means it is not targeted?" The mountain elf frowned and thought, "It seems that there is not enough time to measure the internal environment, so several general situations must be prepared."
"No, it's targeted, you only need to prepare one, and the remaining gold coins are all earned."
Shuer had no worries about the deceived being around him. In fact, this was also intentional. He explained the situation on the spot. For the people in the Temple of Water, it was just a harmless little joke. At most, they felt that they were laughing and crying and would not really have any opinions, but if they were asked to know through other channels later, the nature would be different.
"Ahem, Mr. Wright, this is not the same as the one agreed." Sure enough, Bonita resisted the urge to roll his eyes and protested, "Didn't you say you couldn't judge the internal environment when you negotiated yesterday afternoon, and you needed five kinds of materials to prepare, so you wanted the 20,000 gold coins?"
"Well, I'm exaggerating, you've been fooled." Shure looked at him for granted, making people want to punch him a few times, "No, no, no, negotiation skills are just human nature, and it's just 20,000 gold coins, don't take it to heart."
It is natural to lie to people when it is, and why don’t you care about 20,000 gold coins when you don’t see me? Bonita has too many words to curse, and she can’t find where to start.
"In fact, this investment of funds is essential for a normal team, because they do need to prepare a variety of response materials. And our team, because of their rich experience, can save this investment with experience. This is what we save based on our ability. We can't say you are suffering, right?"
It seemed to make sense, and Bonita found herself unable to argue, so she could only smile bitterly: "How do you judge the situation inside?"
"It's very simple. You can judge the approximate ones by knowing that there is a heart of water inside." Shure said with certainty. "The heart of water will be born in that area, which must be extreme worship caused by extreme environments. Just like Lord Anika was born in the McCar Forest, Lord Wendy was born in the center of Saruk Lake, the largest inland lake in Pavattiga, and Lord Sailor was born on the top of the Vulture Feather Mountain where hurricanes continue all year round."
"So that's it, that is, it's an area full of water. Is it the sea?" Bonita suddenly realized.
"There must be land elements in the projection of another world, so even it is an island." Shuer shook his head, "but there is another completely opposite situation, haha, let's talk about it later."
"This is a list of key materials. Let's take it and determine which ones you are responsible for purchasing. As for the items you need, everyone will decide for themselves."
