When De came to the Mercenary Association again, it had regained some of the previous lively. Although it was still a little deserted, it was much better than before. The people from the Mercenary Association had obviously received the notice. After seeing Rhode arrive, they immediately greeted him, then invited him to the reception room, and asked him to wait for a while in a respectful tone, then said goodbye to leave. Rhode looked around boredly. After a moment, he saw the old president and Serek walking in with smiles.

As soon as he saw the "enthusiastic" smiles of the two, Rhode raised his eyebrows.

A suspicious aura hits my face.

However, he did not speak, but leisurely picked up the teacup at hand and nodded to the two of them. The two of them seemed to not care, and smiled at Rhodes, then sat in front of him. Then the old president winked at Serek, while Serek shrugged helplessly, then looked at Rhodes with a smile and spoke.

"You are finally back, boy, judging from your appearance, this mission is still very smooth? It's really good, and it's done well."

"well enough."

Rhode shrugged his shoulders, put down the teacup, raised his head and looked at the two of them expressionlessly. He had already found that this time the two of them called him here probably because they had a desire to do it with him. Otherwise, the irritable old president would not have let Serek praise him like a flower as soon as he met. According to his temper, when he saw Rhode, his first reaction was to complain about what he had done recently to make the whole city of Deep Rock, or to complain about some things he had done before, and then waved his hand and asked Serek to tell him what was going on with him. What's wrong now?

"Do you guys have anything to do with me?"

"Well... that's it."

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Serek was silent for a moment, then he squeezed his hands, looked at the old president, and then spoke.

"The Starlight Mercenary Group's points... have 12 points now."

"If this mission is included, that's right."

Hearing Serek's inquiry, Rhode frowned. He thought that the two of them might have a task to find him - were they guessed wrong? What was their intention to care about their mercenary group so much?

"It's not yet Xia Chu. You have already had twelve points. If you continue to develop like this, have you ever thought about your next plan?"

What are the next plans?

Rhode's heart was thrilled when he heard this, but he was still expressionless on the surface.

"I think the two of you should also be very clear about the next plan. As the leaders of the Mercenary Association, I think it is impossible for you to know that the first-ranked mercenary group can be qualified to advance to the Mercenary Guild."

"That's right."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Serek nodded, and then he laughed.

"So, Mr. Rod, do you think that with the current strength of the Starlight Mercenary Group, can you gain a foothold in the Mercenary Guild level?"

"This is my problem, not yours, Mr. Serek."

Rhode frowned, and he seemed to have vaguely grasped the center of the conversation.

"I think we should talk straight to the point. As members of the Mercenary Association, it seems that we don't need to be so concerned about which mercenary group can be promoted to the Mercenary Guild, right?"

Rhodes said the truth. Generally speaking, although the mercenary association and the mercenary guild are considered to be a superior-level relationship, it is not as clear as the mercenary association and the mercenary group. Because the mercenary guild has its own strength, territory, and can even get assistance that the mercenary association does not have. This makes them often not obey the orders of the mercenary association. This is a bit like the relationship between the official organizations of those professional leagues and clubs. Small clubs have to look at the faces of those official organizations, and those powerful clubs can in turn give the official organizations a look...

Of course, at the beginning, the Mercenary Association was also very unhappy. They even did deliberately seek faults, otherwise the mercenary group would be promoted to the Mercenary Guild. But unfortunately, the Dragon Soul Continent is not as good as the Earth. No matter how much grievances everyone suffers, they can only see them in court. Those mercenary groups can't stand this anger. They even publicly impulsively with the Mercenary Association, and even made a fuss to establish an organization that competes with the Mercenary Association. The chaos lasted for several years, causing casualties from thousands of mercenaries, almost catching up with the

A small-scale war. This chaotic scene also alarmed the various power agencies on the Dragon Soul Continent. Finally, with their unanimous mediation, the Mercenary Association chose to give in. That is, most of them and the Mercenary Guild were not involved in the rivers, and it had nothing to do. After the mercenary group reached the qualification to advance, they came here to report, and then the Mercenary Association went through an official process to confirm and stamp it, and the two sides had nothing to do. Do business, you do yours, I do mine.

So Rhodes was very surprised that the old president would be so concerned about the affairs of the Mercenary Guild. With his experience, the Mercenary Association could not be so enthusiastic.

Now! Boy!"

Just as Serek was about to explain something, the old president could not help but shoot the table.

"Anyway, there is nothing to hide, so I will tell you directly. We have received news from the Mercenary Association Moon Association, because there has been no formal and stable Mercenary Guild in the Parrfield area in the past two years. Now, headed by the Dallac Mercenary Association, other branches have asked the organization to cancel the quota of Mercenary Guild in our area and give this quota to them for distribution!"

Hearing this, Rhode couldn't help frowning.

"Will you agree?"

"Of course, I won't agree so quickly. After all, there are only five regions in the Duchy of Moon now, and one of our five associations and branches each occupy one, and the same is true for the Mercenary Guild. It is not a trivial matter to ask other regions to cancel the quota of guilds. Is it always agreeing hastily?"

Serek finally found an opportunity to explain and spoke to Rhode.

"But it is also a fact that the situation in our region is weak. Over the past few years, our situation has been bad, and it is much worse than other regions. To be honest, in many places, the top five mercenary groups were all the first in our place... This also made them very dissatisfied. So this time, they were indeed considering their requirements."

"So, is there any way?"

Rhodes is finally concerned about this matter now. You should know that if the Mercenary Association will really cancel the quota in the Parfield area, then his efforts will be a joke. But he still doesn't understand what it has to do with him.

"Although there will always be no decision yet, they are indeed thinking about it. And we have also received an ultimatum that will always be given to us--our Parfield area must send representatives to the midsummer festival two months later. If we can get good results, we will always keep our quota. But if we can't do it, we can be sorry..."

The so-called midsummer festival competition refers to a competition organized by the Mercenary Association in the third month of the summer every year. Mercenaries can show their strength to everyone by participating in this festival. Mercenary Association also shows their strength in this way. Those mercenaries who perform well in this can not only receive rewards from the rich, but may even win the favor of the powerful. For mercenaries, it is also a good opportunity to show themselves.

"But I remember, it seems that only members of the Mercenary Guild are eligible to participate in the Midsummer Festival."

Rhode asked in confusion, and his idea was not wrong. The midsummer festival was divided into three parts, the two main parts were confrontations between members of the mercenary guild, including group wars and individual wars. Those idle mercenaries could only participate in the last part, similar to field battles of leisure nature to get improvements. To be honest, the Midsummer Festival was only a way for mercenary guilds in five regions to show their strength through this method. The strong mercenary guilds would eat more and get more support and care. As for those weak mercenary guilds, they could only fight helplessly. The maximum limit for group wars is twenty people, and the individual wars is five people each. After all, although this competition is an opportunity for the mercenary guild to show their strength, no one wants their strength to be damaged, so their scale is not very large. But even so, those mercenary guilds are also elites and it is difficult to deal with.

Because of this, in Rhodes' view, the Mercenary Association has obviously decided to cancel the quota in the Parfield area. After all, they don't even have a truly qualified Mercenary Guild, so how can they participate in the competition? It's like letting a disabled person with disabled legs sign up for a track and field competition - it's just a cheating person.

"I said the same, but those damn bitches raised by the damn bitches!!"

Speaking of this, the old president jumped up suddenly, blushed in anger and waved his hands.

"Those bitches who came to this world because their mother had close contact with the donkey! They actually said 'Certificate' we sent a mercenary group to participate! What to say for us Parrfield, the Mercenary Guild and the mercenary group are actually similar... those damn bastards! Dragon Soul is on, I hope they shut up and lick the cow's ass soon as possible!"

After venting his anger, the old president sat down again and glared at Rhode angrily, as if the latter was his father-killing enemy.

"Since those bastards who are not as smart as goldfish feces look down on us so much, we don't need to give them a good look. It's you, boy, go and slap those idiots who only know how to hide under tents and bite the dog whip all day long, so that they can know how powerful we are!"

Faced with the old president who was almost furious, Rhode remained silent. He reached out and picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of black tea. Then he picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth. After a while, he asked.

"Why are you looking for me? Are Burning Blade and Dark Teeth more suitable than me?"

"Sheer can't do it, boy."

The old president sighed and shook his head.

"You don't know what the Burning Blade is going on? Shear is really strange. When he led the mercenary group, he immediately became disgusted as soon as he advanced to the mercenary guild. Although his mercenary group still maintained the standard configuration of the mercenary guild, this kid was unsure at this level. We haven't looked for him, but that guy himself knew he couldn't handle it, so he refused our request. As for Shawen, that bastard, let alone, I didn't even find his people... Hey, although it's not difficult for a group of killers to hide and not be found, I guess this is the attitude of that kid, and he is not interested in this."

Speaking of this, the old president stopped and then looked at Rhodes.

"So we can only rely on you, boy. Your Starlight has always been doing well, and you have performed very well, both in the quiet highlands and the dusk forest. Your command and judgment are not comparable to that boy Hiller. You don't know what the situation in the Parfield area is now. Other mercenary groups can live, even if they are lucky. Don't have a stern face there, it's not unhelpful to you. If you can do it well, you will always be promoted to a regular mercenary guild on the spot. You kid are sent! Other mercenary groups have to work hard for a few years, and you can climb to this position in just a few months. How about it? Just have fun!"

"I have to eat rice one by one, and I have to walk the road step by step. I still understand this principle, sir."

Rhode first took a sip of black tea to clean the biscuits in his mouth, and then continued to say. To be honest, he is indeed very interested in this. If what the old president said is true, then there is no need to fight to win points. Especially now that the ban will last for a month, it is really a big trouble. However, he still has the dead face on the surface - since the other party has a request for him, it would be a pity not to squeeze out anything.

Rhodes is actually a typical player thinking - any task must maximize the benefits. If the ordinary ones are not enough, the rewards must be taken. If the rewards are not enough, the hidden ones must be taken. In short, if a task is not squeezed out a few layers of oil and took out the last copper plate, the player will not give up. Most tasks in the Dragon Soul Continent are like this. There was once a task where a father entrusts the player to rescue his son who ran away in the mountains. For most online games, after the player sends his children back, NPC will express his gratitude, then take out some rewards, the player takes over, and then completes the task. But in fact, there are some other things.

Many hidden parts - if you are good enough, you can tell NPC how hard it is, how dangerous the child is in, how difficult it is to rescue him. If you say it beautiful enough, then NPC will add a reward. If the player is not satisfied, you can directly choose to show off his strength and tell NPC that his property is far less valuable than the lives of their father and son - in this way you can also get the magic talisman passed down from their family. In this way, if the player is willing enough, then they can get a lot of unexpected rewards and equipment that were unexpectedly unexpected.

Rhode had played in Gaoya Village once before, and now he doesn't mind continuing to do this.

"We have a small number of people and it has not been established for a long time. Well, it's hard to say about the mercenary group, but to be honest, I think it's really hard to rely on us to fight against the mercenary guilds in several other areas."

"Of course I know this."

The old president waved his hand.

"So our Mercenary Association will do our best to assist you. Regardless of equipment or people, just say whatever you want!"

"This is what you say seriously?"

"This is what..."

Originally, the old president wanted to say "Of course." But after seeing Rhode's face, he stopped forcibly - the old president still remembered the fact that this little bastard had asked him for the previous few times!

"If it is within the capacity of our Mercenary Association, then of course it is not a problem!"

"Then, I think it's okay for you to ask for some people and magical equipment."

"It depends on who, boy."

The old president laughed. After spending so long with Rhodes, he thought he already knew this greedy guy very well.

"If you want Serek, I can tell you to dream. This time the Mercenary Association will always watch it. It's too much. Be careful that they won't let you succeed."

"I'm not going to have Mr. Serek join, I just need some idle members."

Rhode shrugged.

"I need two blacksmiths and four spirit masters... Well, they are the ladies who went to the quiet highland with us last time. By the way, I want to explain in advance. This is not a borrowing, they will completely belong to our mercenary group. There should be no problem with this."

"What do you want these people to do?"

Faced with Rhodes’ request, the old president was surprised.

"I haven't heard Serek say about the situation before, but boy, what I asked you to participate in this time is not a competition with the undead creatures."

"Of course I know that I didn't want them for this."

Rhode reached out and made a gesture.

"In addition, I need some magical materials, including minerals and wood. Of course, I expect the Mercenary Association to show enough sincerity to provide it for free... After all, I don't have much money to buy these things."

"……………………Okay, no problem, I promise you, just don't have too many words."

The old president took a long breath and kept reminding himself in his heart to hold back and take this kid's words as farts, be careful not to draw any loopholes for him... Although the old president had already made enough mental preparations, Rhodes' next words still made him jump from the sofa.

"By the way, I need to confirm that this should be considered a task entrusted by the Mercenary Association to complete." (To be continued)
