Chapter 355 Employment Contract
"We came back this time mainly to complete what we didn't complete when we left."
Alka said as he sat nearby.
Gilliana nodded: "I know, the treasure of the Nafas family, right?"
"?"
Alka's face was full of confusion.
"How did you know? Don't try to use divination to get away with it. I know divination can't do this kind of thing."
Such a specific goal cannot be predicted by divination.
Gilliana frowned and stared at Alka with a slightly disgusted look.
Then he looked at Xia Dai and asked, "Is Alka so stupid?"
"Um... sometimes his brain suddenly stops working well." Xia Daiti said somewhat embarrassedly.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Alka suddenly remembered something and slapped himself on the head.
I actually forgot.
"We have all divined that you need to find a member of the Nafas family, and you are a treasure hunting group, how could we not know what you are looking for?
And you have to know that the treasure house of the Nafas family is in the Land of Spirits, on our territory."
Alka had already thought of this and nodded helplessly.
I didn't even think about it carefully just now.
And if you think about it carefully, why would a powerful family like the Nafas family place their treasure trove in this place?
If it were placed in the habitat of a giant tree or even at the border of life and death, Alka and the others would be able to accept it.
In the land of spirits, where it has been confirmed that a god is reviving, are you really not afraid?
Thinking of this, Alka asked, "Why would they put the treasure house here? Could it be related to you?"
"You've become smart again." Gilliana teased with a smile, then picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.
However, he did not answer. Instead, he waved his hand, and a three-dimensional map appeared on the table in front of him. This map was the land of spirits.
At this time, there was a small flag near the left border.
Looking at this marked place, it was exactly the place where Alka and his friends had found the Nafas family buried the treasure.
"You should be familiar with this place."
Alka nodded.
"I'm telling you clearly now, this place is very dangerous, so don't even think about going there to look for treasure or anything." Gilliana said as she drew a circle on the map.
An oval circle includes the place where the treasure is.
Then a few more lines were drawn to connect to the outside.
"This is now the garrison area at the junction of life and death, and these lines are the routes for their soldiers to be transported.
Therefore, unless our god fully recovers and arrives, or we have the strength to drive them out of this area, your treasure hunt goal will not be accomplished.
Unless you are strong enough to force your way in. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out, but be careful of course."
Gilliana said with a smile.
After listening to Gilliana's story, Alka looked at the map.
"It seems that we can only choose to help you?" Xia Daiti said with a smile.
"I'm not forcing you. What I said are all facts. It also saves you the time of checking it yourself. Didn't we have a pleasant cooperation before? And it's not like we don't pay." Gilliana looked at the three of them and said with a smile. She was just stating the facts.
"We are not that strong. Compared to this war, the strength of our team can only be described as insignificant." Alka looked at her and said with some surprise.
He is self-aware.
He is the only one in the entire team whose strength has reached the fourth stage, while the others are at the third stage.
Although their team has a good advantage in terms of numbers and quality.
But now it is war.
With such a small number of them and the fact that they haven't joined the army yet , it's hard to say how much of a role they can play.
"Compared to the two church members who came to support us, there is not much we can do."
So Alka didn't understand why he had to ask them for help.
Hearing this, Gilliana shook her head: “It’s different, you have been blessed by the flower fairy, and you underestimate your own strength.
I promise you here first, as long as you agree, I will not deliberately send you to the dangerous front line, you just need to clean up the demons in the rear.
It would be a bit difficult for our soldiers or church support staff to do it.
That’s why we need the help of special teams like you who work together in harmony.”
Gilliana stated her needs directly.
"And we won't recycle the materials you get from killing demons. They should be very valuable."
Overall, the conditions offered by Gilliana can be said to be very generous.
"If you disagree, I will still tell you some general information about the current situation. However , I can't do anything about confidential information. This is a military order."
After saying that, Gilliana finished the tea in her cup and just looked at the three people to watch them make a decision.
Alka was already inclined to agree.
After all, Gilliana had already told them the situation over there, and she couldn't possibly lie to them about this because it wouldn't do any good, and they could easily verify it.
Given their relationship, it would be too low-class to deceive them in this regard.
"Tell me the price you offered."
Alka said directly.
Hearing Alka's words, Gilliana smiled and said, "How about I give you two options?"
"Tell me about it."
"The first option is that we will directly hire your entire team, 40 gold sails per day and night. We will assign you patrol missions like my soldiers, and you can get the spoils yourself."
This type of job means you get a fixed salary and don't have much freedom.
Obviously, this solution is not suitable for people like them.
"For the second option, we will give you a price list with the price of each demon. All you have to do is kill them and show us the corresponding receipts, and we will pay you."
This type is a mercenary, a relatively free type whose job depends on performance.
Hearing this, Alka thought about it.
"Let me see the report."
Gilliana nodded and handed over a piece of paper.
It seems that this kind of report has been prepared long ago and is not just for Alka and his group.
The three of them got together to check it out.
The prices of some demons were clearly stated on the paper.
For example, if you kill the weakest imp and demons of similar level, you will get 5 to 10 gold sails each. The strength of this kind of demon will never exceed the second stage.
Ordinary soldiers find it difficult to deal with this kind of demon, but for those who touch it, they can still defeat it without any harm if they are a little more careful.
Slightly stronger low-level demons are mostly below 50 gold sails.
These also do not collect spoils.
If we decompose the materials on a low-level demon's body, the strength of a low-level demon probably does not exceed the third stage.
The value is close to 100 gold sails, and it mainly depends on the specific race of the demon and the rarity of the materials on its body.
The final conversion of the materials on it might be worth two or three hundred golden sails.
Of course, this is only if you are lucky.
It has been marked above that normally, a wandering team of demons will usually have more than 4 imp-level demons.
One or two low-level demons.
Then the task commission with the highest price was given by them.
Escort or annihilate.
Generally, they are likely to face mid-level demons like the ones Alka and his friends had faced before.
The strength of these demons ranges from 4 to 5 stages.
Of course, the money given is also very generous.
Starting from 2000 gold sails, the price varies depending on the danger encountered and the strength of the demon.
And they can exchange some of the resources already available in the Fragrance Land at normal market prices.
"Very reasonable price, we choose option 2."
Alka nodded directly.
Anyway, they already have two options. Since the first one doesn't work, they will naturally choose the second one.
It doesn't matter how you fight, it's better if you can make money.
"Very good, sign the contract, the contract of the Virgin Mary." Gilliana took out a contract and handed it to them.
Alka took a look and found that the terms written on it were all normal, including that some confidential information could not be leaked at will.
And it was written very formally, which obviously proved once again that they hired more than just themselves.
After confirming that there was no problem, he and Alka signed their names.
"Okay, now I can tell you about the situation here."
Gilliana nodded. "The dangers we are facing now mainly come from three aspects: the undead at the border of life and death, demons, and the cultists and the crazy pirates they brought with them."
"The undead at the border of life and death pose the greatest threat and hold back the most soldiers. They attack because they sense the revival of the flower fairy. The will left behind in the past drives them crazy."
At this point, Gilliana looked at them and asked, "Do you know something about Zehai? I'm talking about a very ancient time."
Alka nodded.
“That’s good. You should know that the breath of death at the border between life and death was formed mainly because a giant dragon related to the undead fell there.
He was once the enemy of the Flower Fairy, and although the will of the god was completely destroyed after his death, the remaining resentment is difficult to eliminate. This is why they attacked."
"As for the demons, they are all those damned cultists who summoned them on purpose. As long as the flower fairy revives, they will all be forced to leave.
Those cultists are all crazy people who want to destroy the world, so they will not miss such an opportunity. It is just a simple killing and sacrifice, or some of the evil gods they believe in have had grievances with the flower fairy. "
It briefly tells the grievances between the flower fairy and these three forces.
"The large-scale attacks and the breaching of some special areas were all carried out by some powerful cultists who joined forces with demons and the undead souls at the border of life and death.
Under normal circumstances, once the undead souls on the border between life and death meet the devil, a life-and-death battle will break out between them. They are all madmen. "
"The undead at the junction of life and death have wisdom?" Alka asked curiously.
Gilliana nodded: "Yes, as long as some powerful ones have wisdom. But they are a minority after all."
"The support from the church is enough to help us hold the last line of defense. They will also send some troops to clean up the demons behind us.
But after all, the area behind is too large, so we have to start working hard. "
"When will the flower fairy revive?" Alka asked.
This is a secret piece of information that they must know.
Gilliana looked at the three of them and said without further hesitation, "It will take another half a year, another half a year for the flower fairy to revive."
"Half a year?" Alka nodded in understanding.
"Now I'll give you some information. After all, you are looking for the treasure."
"Tell me about it." Alka asked curiously.
Although he no longer needs much information to expand on, it still doesn't hurt to listen.
It wouldn't hurt for him to have more information.
"Weren't you just wondering why the Nafas family set up the treasure house in this area?"
Gilliana smiled and said, "Let me tell you how this powerful family rose to prominence step by step."
"When the Holy Machine Church and the Holy Mother Church first sent an exploration team to explore Zehai, a member of that family was there.
But at that time they were just an ordinary family that believed in the Church of Our Lady, and there was nothing special about them. "
"But during the exploration, this lucky man helped our God a lot. You all know that our God is generous. She directly gave a [Scepter] to the ancestors of the Nafas family at that time.
Like you, he has also received the blessing of the flower fairy and has gained a certain reputation in the Land of Fragrance. "
He said, pointing at Alka.
"From then on, they rose step by step until they became the most powerful family in this area.
The reason why they were able to rise later was mainly because this family served as a bridge between the believers of the Virgin Mary and the believers of the Flower Fairy. They were the best choice at the time.
The good relationship between gods does not necessarily extend to believers, and there needs to be a bridge for both sides to communicate. "
As she spoke, Gilliana showed an ambiguous smile on her face and pointed at herself.
“If I must say, I also have some connection with this family.
Many of my ancestors had intermarriages with members of this family."
After hearing this, the three of them understood and nodded in understanding. So that's how it is.
It really sounds like the road to rise.
Because of a moment of luck, he seized a series of opportunities and climbed to the top of the highest family step by step.
"What a pity. You have seen the consequences of this family. Their powerful strength gave them ambition. I wonder if you know that the real demise of this family came from the deal they made with the devil."
Alka's people nodded. They had some understanding of this aspect.
It's just that we can't be sure, but from the information we can see that most people are so suspicious.
“No matter how powerful the Nafas family is, it is still under the control of both churches. It is because of the needs of both churches that it has been able to grow stronger.
They were so powerful that they naturally didn't want to be in such a situation during their heyday. It's a pity that they signed a contract with the devil of hell, so what good would it end up like?"
Gilliana shrugged and said helplessly.
After listening to her story, everyone had a sufficiently detailed understanding of the powerful Nafas family.
No matter how powerful a family is, it is only supported by the Church of God.
And it is only somewhat well-known in this area.
Maybe it's not as powerful as they think.
After finishing speaking, Gilliana looked at Alka and said, “Have you noticed that the rise of their family is somewhat similar to your current situation?
Haha, I hope you don’t make the same mistake again in the future.”
Gilliana teased with a smile.
Hearing this, Alka also smiled.
"No, compared to their small goals, I have bigger goals."
Hearing this, Jason and Xia Daiti beside them couldn't help but smile.
"A bigger goal? Then I'm really looking forward to it." Gilliana said with a smile.
Then he stood up and patted his hands: "Okay, let's stop reminiscing about the past. You can come see me again when you are ready.
I will give you more details and specifics, and then you can start taking action.”
Alka nodded and said, "Don't worry, it won't take long. Remember to prepare enough money, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to pay."
"Haha, you underestimate us. We can afford it even if you kill all these demons by yourself.
But you have to be careful, the demons are different from the cultists and the enemies you have encountered before, they are strong enough and evil enough. "
Gilliana said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Alka turned to look at her. He couldn't help but smile. Then in his hand appeared a horn left after they killed the middle-level demon.
He took it in his hand and shook it at Gilliana.
"I'm not kidding."
After saying that, Alka smiled and left the barracks with the two of them.
Looking at the backs of the three people.
Gilliana carefully recalled the horn he had just seen.
"It's actually the horn of a mid-level demon. The pattern on the horn is very beautiful. It must be a powerful demon."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face.
"It seems that it is right to pull them up, but we need to prepare more money, otherwise we may not be able to pay them."
Thinking of this, Gilliana smiled and shook her head.
After so long, I finally got some good news.
