The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 197 Entrustment, Spare Tire

While the Silver Company was troubled by all kinds of rumors on the west coast, the Black Pearl was enjoying the results in peace.

On this day, when Mu came to the deck, several new faces saluted him excitedly: "Good morning, captain!"

That fiery look was like meeting an idol.

Mu smiled and nodded at them all in return.

By the way, tell them again that they don't need to say hello so solemnly every time.

These enthusiastic new faces are all recent recruits around the New World.

After gaining fame, the Black Pearl is now landing at a port outside Silver's control area on the west coast of the New World. They don't need to make arrangements for themselves, as long as they report their names, it won't take long for locals who come here to join them spontaneously.

This can make those ordinary little pirates vomit blood with envy.

Other pirate groups usually want to recruit people, either by recruiting them while robbing, or they can only go to poor ports to coax those poor people who can't eat.

However, nowadays, the Black Pearl recruits not only do not need to rely on bluffing and cheating, but can even be rich enough to pick and choose, and the recruits are selected on merit. Not only will the newcomers brought on board not be negative, on the contrary, each of them is as fanatical as a small fan, and their subjective initiative is extremely strong!
If most of the ordinary pirate groups who are not doing well know this, I am afraid that they will be jealous of the separation of the wall...

This is the benefit of being famous.

Of course, the reputation gained by Pengci is beneficial, but it must also have a price.

On this day, Sible found Mu, "Captain, it's better not to be alone when we go ashore for supplies in the future. Another soldier was attacked on the shore today. Fortunately, everyone was fine in the end."

Mu asked helplessly: "Did the person who did it get caught? What is the reason this time? Is it for a reward or for fame?"

After they became famous, when their crew went ashore for supplies, they would encounter bounty hunters with bad brains jumping out to make trouble every now and then.

In the beginning, most of them were offering rewards, but a few days ago, after Mu had withdrawn the rewards they posted anonymously, this phenomenon still did not disappear.

On the one hand, it is because this matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and many slick old hunters feel that even if the bounty on the surface is withdrawn, it will definitely be beneficial if they really catch important members of the Nephalem Pirates and send them to the company.

On the other hand, there are many fledgling and simple-minded hunters wishful thinking: killing such a famous big pirate will definitely make him famous immediately!

It can only be said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

How can a person not be burdened by fame when he is floating in the rivers and lakes...

Sibul's answer quickly confirmed Mu's guess.

"The attackers were caught on the spot, another group of brats who wanted to use us as a stepping stone to fame."

"really……"

Mu Wei could only smile wryly.

Their rise is too fast, and they mainly rely on the reputation of Silver Company in the past.

"In the future, I will try my best to arrange a group of ten people to go ashore for supplies, and execute the other attackers who are caught, so as to strengthen our reputation."

"It has been executed."

Sible knew this sort of thing well.

"Besides, Captain, there is one more thing."

"Huh? You said."

"A few days ago, someone contacted me through a secret channel, through the mercenary guild, and said that there was a commission to find us by name, and the asking price was very high, and even vaguely revealed that the price could be negotiated.

I'm not sure if this is a trap, so I'll have to wait for your advice, Captain. "

Mu frowned slightly, "A commission to be given to us by name? Why? We are pirates, not mercenaries."

Sible continued: "The reason given by the other party is: this entrustment is directly aimed at Silver Company, and it will be very offending. No one on land dares to accept it, so they thought of coming to us."

"It will offend Silver's commission..."

Mu touched his chin for a while.

The opponent's point is quite accurate.

Because for the current Nephalem Pirates, fighting with Silver Company is the "personal design" they set up.

They rely on this to become famous, and they will naturally have to continue to implement this phalanx in the future.

But also because of this, if someone uses this to make a game, the probability of cheating them is also very high.

"The risk is quite high." Mu Shen said.

"Yes, I think so too." Sible nodded.

"What is the specific content of the commission? What is their current asking price? Does the client have any clues?"

Not much is known about these issues at the moment.

"At present, I only know that the content of the commission is to save people and destroy Silver Company's poaching of wild elves, but I think they probably didn't tell the truth. The initial price is [-] silver dollars. For details, please invite us to the mercenary guild for an interview."

Mu reached out and knocked on the railing on the edge of the deck.

"Go and have a look."

With the current comprehensive strength of the fleet of the Black Pearl, even if the company's senior combat consultants led the elves' raid to kill the capital, it was not effective. This is enough to prove that they are capable of dealing with most situations below the commander level.

So Mu decided to explore the reality of this wave.

If the situation is really wrong, they will run away at worst. Anyway, the current reputation is earned for nothing, even if it collapses, he doesn't feel bad.

With such a no-burden mentality of being ready to rub the soles of his feet at any time, on this day, Mu took several key members of the ship ashore to an agreed port guild.

As usual, the Black Pearl was handed over to the chief mate.

When they came to the guild, several connectors checked the code with them, and then invited them to a small room on the second floor.

After a while, a veteran who looked weather-beaten and had a long and narrow scar on his cheek walked in, with two younger brothers behind him, who seemed to be the main target of this meeting.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Sauron. I'm an unpopular mercenary regiment leader. For everyone, I've been famous for a long time recently."

The person who came to meet first made a self-introduction, which seemed quite kind.

But this is not enough to make Mu completely let go of his vigilance.

"You posted the mission?"

Mu didn't do too much politeness, and asked straight to the point.

Sauron smiled wryly.

"No, I wasn't the one who issued the mission at the beginning. My regiment followed up with this mission, but something went wrong for some reason during the execution.

We have a team of people stuck there, we have no choice but to increase the price twice, issue a commission to find someone to go there with us, save people and continue to complete the task. "

It sounded a bit like it was true—this was Mu's first reaction.

"So, why did you find us?"

Sauron's answer was also very straightforward.

"Because I have searched all over the guild, and no one is willing to take this job. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else I can find."

"..."

At this time, Mu felt an inexplicable desire to complain: So we are just spare tires?
