Chapter 609: The Destiny of Green HandsOn the first day when Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er reached the City of Mercenaries, they became members of Disha and started living together with the other two. Emm, living together in the inn.
However, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er found a problem very soon.
Different from other places, the City of Mercenaries only allowed the use of universal gold and silver on the continent for the first three days.
After the first three days, the so-called period for green hands, the soldiers who remained there must using something called “credits”.
This was true for all daily activities, including eating, drinking, buying, living and exchanging information.
It was said that this rule was established by the mercenary soldier who initiated the alliance. For hundreds of years, every soldier must obey this rule if they wanted to make a living in the city.
Unfortunately, the two heads of Disha paid great attention to life quality. They had reserved rooms in one of the most expensive inns of the city, Qingyun Inn.
A room here cost 10 credits per day and a meal 5 credits.
Ye Lingyue could manage to live on relying on Red Mist Sky while Lan Cai’er would face great trouble.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the first three days, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er could use their gold and silver. After three days, however, they became penniless, or “creditless”.
On the early morning of the fourth day, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er met a problem. They had no credit to live in the inn since they undertook no tasks in the first three days.
“The Smiling Tiger shall be blamed. He said that Disha only undertakes high-level tasks. But it is certainly not easy to find such tasks. We have had no tasks for 3 days.” Lan Cai’er was full of anger.
It seemed that she and the vice-captain were born enemies. For the three days, they had been quarreling ceaselessly.
“It cannot go on like this. Let’s talk with them.” Ye Lingyue saw that Di and Sha had been doing nothing. Did not they even worry about their credits?
After a moment, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er walked into Qingyun Inn unhappily.
“Credits? Are you short of such things? Oh, I forgot to tell you that captain and I accumulated millions of credits in the city 5 or 6 years ago.” Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er wanted to strangle Sha when thinking of the image in which Sha was drinking nice tea and enjoying a feast.
This was the difference between well-established soldiers and green hands.
“One day, I will earn a large number of credits to embarrass the Smiling Tiger.” Lan Cai’er broke out into curses. After a while, however, her lips shook slightly and her voice seemed much less forceful. “Little Brother. No, captain. Why are you here?”
“Before undertaking high-level tasks, you can undertake private tasks. According to the rule, however, the accumulated credits all belong to the group and should be divided among the 4 members.” Captain Di was always silent. This time, he glimpsed at Ye Lingyue and then walked into Qingyun Inn.
How could this captain who was as cold as a moving iceberg come out only for the purpose of telling them this?
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er knew that they should divide the accumulated credits fairly among the four of them. Similarly, their credits would also be divided if Di and Sha earned extra. In this case, it was a good thing for Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
Considering that they might have no dwelling place tonight, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er hurried to the Alliance of Mercenaries.
The receptionist Junior Li welcomed them smilingly when seeing them, especially Ye Lingyue.
“Since you are just green hands, it is better to undertake some low- and mid-level tasks. Not everyone is as powerful as Di and Sha who only undertake high-level tasks.” Junior Li told them that Drinking Blood had followed the mode of Disha recently by undertaking only high-level tasks.
When hearing the name of Drinking Blood, Lan Cai’er was distracted for a moment and her facial expression looked strange.
Ye Lingyue knew that she must have thought of what happened between her and Dao Ge.
Ye Lingyue had asked Lan Cai’er about what happened. Lan Cai’er met Dao Ge when she went to the frontier with her mother to visit his father, who was then the general of the garrison troops there.
The sect of Dao Ge was a magic sect which was as powerful as No Love Sect on the Central Plains, Thousands of Monsters Sect.
At that time, Lan Yingwu was ordered to exterminate the forces of Thousands of Monsters Sect that were causing chaos at the frontier of Da Xia. He caught some followers of the sect.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDao Ge disguised himself as a bodyguard of Lan Yingwu and entered the military camp.
Lan Cai’er had just known what love was and easily fell into love with Dao Ge. The man grasped this opportunity and promised to elope with her. Not until Lan Cai’er was caught in the Thousands of Monsters Sect did she realize that she had fallen into a trap.
Eventually, Dao Ge exchanged Lan Cai’er for the followers of the magic sect and Lan Yingwu was bewitched when fighting with the group of several major magic sects.
Lan Cai’er was desperate and wanted to ask Dao Ge whether he had loved her.
But she only found Dao Ge and his childhood lover and fiancée Song Jingyun kissing each other affectionately.
It turned out that Song Jingyun was the only one loved by Dao Ge.
Let the bygones be bygones. Lan Cai’er smiled bitterly and then looked as usual.
Aside, Junior Li was explaining to the two all kinds of tasks in the Alliance of Mercenaries.
“You can take a look. These are the low-and-mid-level tasks which have been announced recently. A low-level task will give you 10 to 50 credits and a mid-level one 200 to 500. Of course, their degree of difficulty is also different. Sine you are green hands, you’d better find some low-level tasks which require you to find herbal medicine or kill spiritual beasts.” Junior Li introduced to them full of enthusiasm.
The tasks of the alliance came from all parts of the state and most low-level ones could be accomplished near here.
But some mid-level ones required soldiers to leave the City of Mercenaries and took 10 or 15 days to accomplish.
High-level tasks could give 5000 or more than 10,000 credits. Such tasks required soldiers to go to other states and might take months to accomplish. Most of them required teamwork.
Considering that they might have some group tasks, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er chose to undertake low-level tasks first.
“By the way, you can accumulate as many credits as possible. The City of Mercenaries is allied with Heaven Sect. Every a half year, Heaven Sect holds a hearing in the city. On the hearing, you can exchange credits for any information you want to know.” Junior Li thought for a while and reminded Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
