Chapter 411: Chapter 384, rcenary Group Fight_2
Fang Hao approached the counter and said, “I’m from the Windmill rcenary Group, here to check if there are any appropriate tasks.”
Upon learning that the Faceless suspected him because of the rcenary group’s information.
Fang Hao had arranged for soone to register a small-scale rcenary group ahead of ti.
He would no longer use the na of his previous Bone Knight Group, and would instead use the na of the Windmill rcenary Group to accept tasks in the future.
This would give those individuals the wrong information.
Fang Hao’s rcenary group was just too small, it was not intentionally hidden by anyone.
Plus, the alibi he showed up with yesterday from Lei Li, would be enough to confuse the other party for a while.
At least for so ti to co, they wouldn’t suspect him.
“Very well, sir.”
The lady at the desk placed a task information sheet in front of Fang Hao.
Fang Hao quickly skimd through.
[Mission: Escort a caravan out of the city, requires 30 or more personnel, a rcenary group with good reputation preferred, on-the-spot settlent upon arrival, no delay on paynt.]
[Mission: The Kaulis Family is hiring swordsmanship teachers to teach the family’s children, heroes specializing in swordsmanship will be given priority in hiring…]
[Single-page Map: Bandit Village, Mission: Clear out the Bandit Village north of the city, …….]
Fang Hao quickly flipped through and had already read through the task information once.
These were still ordinary tasks, either escorting caravans or suppressing bandits.
None of which Fang Hao couldn’t complete.
However, Hao still wanted to accept tasks that could yield treasure chest rewards.
Not because he really wanted to earn the task reward money.
After looking through again, still no satisfactory tasks were found.
It seems like this ti, he was going to accept so bandit extermination tasks again.
Just as he was about to accept a mission, a voice suddenly reached him from behind.
“Mr. Fang Hao, Miss Anjia, is that you?”
Fang Hao turned his head and saw a sowhat fat Eric with naturally curly hair.
Staring at him curiously.
“It really is you, Mr. Fang Hao, I didn’t expect to et you here.” Eric said sowhat excitedly.
As his spiritual power grew, his mory also greatly improved.
With a little recall, he was able to rember the na and identity of this chubby man.
At the sa ti, he cracked a smile, “Yes, I never thought I’d run into Mr. Eric here.”
“Yes, what a coincidence.” Eric said, his gaze drifting, “Right, you didn’t run into any trouble after the auction last ti, did you!”
“Trouble?” Fang Hao was confused.
“Hahaha, it’s good if there weren’t any, it’s good if there weren’t any.” Eric awkwardly laughed, aware that he had overstepped and quickly changed the subject, “Brother Fang Hao, you really are making it tough on us, not only setting up a textile store in Lyss City and even got Mrs. Rebecca to advertise for you, how are we supposed to survive after this.”
Eric too was a cloth rchant in the city, although his shop wasn’t as large or famous as so of the other textile shops.
But Lyss City had a large population, enough to keep cloth rchants like him going.
But Fang Hao’s actions had alerted all the cloth rchants to a crisis.
No one else was able to invite Rebecca to advertise for their shops.
It seed likely that the opening of the Bone Textile Store would directly take over most of the business in the city.
“Look at what you’re saying, the textile shops in the city have been operating for decades, there’s no way I could easily snatch them away,” Fang Hao dismissed, waving his hand.
Eric didn’t press further, changing his tone, “Mr. Fang Hao, the man in the portrait, Isn’t it Miss Rolana? Ever since we parted ways last ti, I hadn’t heard from her.”
After the last auction, Eric had lost track of Rolana.
He had specifically arranged for people to inquire in the city, but they could not find any trace of her.
It was as if she had evaporated from the world, as if this person had never appeared.
This made him sowhat anxious, as if a cake delivered to his mouth had suddenly vanished.
Until today, when he saw the male model in the painting.
At first glance, he recognized her as the Rolana he had been searching for.
If it hadn’t been for Fang Hao knowing about Rolana and Lei Li keeping an eye on him, he would never have co to say hello.
Looking at him strangely, Fang Hao said, “Maybe you should drop it, you guys haven’t been in touch for a long ti, and I reckon she’s probably not into you.”
“How could that be? You knew what happened last ti, it’s just that she’s too shy to tell. I should have taken the initiative.” Eric continued, “Can you give her address? I’ll buy you a drink later.”
“Well… I can’t just casually spill soone else’s address; she might find it intrusive,” said Fang Hao, hesitating.
He’s not making excuses. If Rolana knew that he was freely giving out her information to others.
The little loyalty he had painstakingly built up might just go down in flas.
He would never participate in an unfair deal.
Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Eric felt they made sense.
Thinking for a bit, he said, “What about this, I’ll write a letter, and you can pass it to Miss Rolana. In this way, her information stays with her.”
“That could work!”
Fang Hao agreed.
Hearing Fang Hao’s agreent, Eric’s face bead with joy.
He was so grateful that he forgot they were competitors.
…
As Eric thanked him profusely, noticing the list of tasks in Fang Hao’s hand, he learned of his purpose.
Suddenly he said, “Mr. Fang Hao, are you accepting rcenary tasks as well? I have a decent task here. It’s an expedition to explore a ruin organized by the second team leader of the Dragon Scale rcenary Group. I heard it’s not very risky and the reward is quite generous. Are you interested?”
rcenary group-ups are common occurrences.
Important information and unique locations can only be acquired by large rcenary groups.
For various reasons, these groups would often collaborate with trustworthy teams or other rcenary groups for exploration.
The rewards would be distributed as previously discussed.
Fang Hao didn’t really care for the reward he ntioned, but he was intrigued by the word “ruins”.
“Ruins?”
“Yes, I’m kind of close with the team leader. If you’re interested, I can see about adding you, we can watch each other’s back when the ti cos,” Eric said.
Clearly, Eric was returning a favor.
Otherwise, there is a little chance this inside information would have reached Fang Hao.
“Alright, I’ve been looking for the right task anyway. If you think this will work, you can introduce ,” Fang Hao nodded.
“No problem, follow , I’ll help you register. When the ti cos, we can head out together.” After saying this, Eric led Fang Hao out.
…
Fang Hao followed Eric out of the task hall.
They went straight to a pub in East City.
Sitting at a table near the window was a man in leather armor—a rcenary.
Eric pulled Fang Hao to the table, sat down, and introduced him to the rcenary, “Captain Pulimo, this is my friend Fang Hao. Not only is he a well-known businessman, he also has an impressive team working for him. I heard your team needed more people, so I brought him.”
Looking at Fang Hao and Anjia, Captain Pulimo felt they both looked too young.
But he didn’t make any further comnts and asked, “What’s the na of your rcenary group, and how many mbers do you have? I’ll register them for you.”
“Windmill rcenary Group, we have 20 mbers.” replied Fang Hao
Pulimo quickly jotted the na down and said to Fang Hao, “That should do it, registration is finished. Upon completion of the mission, each person will be rewarded with five gold coins. How it will be distributed is up to your team. All special findings will be owned by our Dragon Scale rcenary Group, but we’ll compensate you based on their value. We set off tomorrow morning, make sure you don’t forget.”
Fang Hao nodded, indicating he understood.
The registration was this simple.
…
After completing the registration.
Fang Hao and Eric ordered three beers at the pub’s table.
After chatting for a while.
Eric found a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote Rolana a cheesy poem that would make your skin crawl.
