The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 612 - 609: A Huge Misunderstanding
She couldn’t let her father take risks anymore. She had already inquired that the Imperial Palace had run out of Golden Crow Eggshells long ago, and there was no possibility that the Alchemy Hall could provide any Golden Crow Eggshells in the short term.
Xin Lin had also asked Master Mo for news about the Golden Crow Eggshells.
What she didn’t expect was Master Mo’s reply, which made Xin Lin even more disappointed.
Master Mo told Xin Lin that the Golden Crow, this kind of spirit creature, had already become extinct in Longteng Country.
Even in other countries, it had become a very rare existence; to find the location of a Golden Crow might take half a year of arduous travel.
Xin Lin could only pin her last hopes on the two people before her.
"Miss, you seem to have misunderstood, we are not ordinary mercenaries. We do not take on trivial tasks like those you mentioned. Accordingly, our remuneration is not gold, nor Qi Stones. However, if the client is a beauty like you, we might consider making an exception."
The man from Ruoliu seemed to have a good impression of Xin Lin, speaking with a smile on his face.
The so-called trivial tasks mentioned by the man were the routine tasks for ordinary mercenaries, such as finding people or gathering medicinal herbs.
Xin Lin had previously learned from Mu Chen about the nature of the tasks assigned by Qingtian Academy, which were largely similar.
"Shut up."
The tall and muscular man shouted, and the other man touched his nose, offered a wry smile to Xin Lin, and then downed half a jug of wine.
"Miss, we can provide some clues. However, in return, the person who issued the Hire Order must personally come forward; our remuneration needs to be paid by him."
After a long discussion, they thought that Xin Lin was just someone sent to run errands.
"I am the employer myself. Whatever remuneration the two of you desire, do not hesitate to state it."
Xin Lin pondered that she still had some savings; it looked like she was about to pay a hefty price this time.
"You are the employer? What joke is this, is Jiang Qing out of his mind to make such a low-level mistake! Our task pairing is wrong."
Upon hearing this, the man from Ruoliu, who was in the middle of drinking, sprayed out his drink.
The tall and muscular man also looked perturbed.
"Miss, you are not kidding, are you? You are clearly not a Great Spirit Master. Our partnership agreement with Black Brilliance Market states that only those with Great Spirit Master cultivation can pair with us for tasks, meaning we can only see each other’s Hire Orders. How much did you pay at the time?"
"One Intermediate Qi Stone?"
Xin Lin recalled.
Their faces grew even uglier.
"This is preposterous, we are the ’Xuanyuan’ Gold Mercenary Army; you think one Qi Stone is enough to hire us? I will find that Jiang Qing and have it out with him; he must be dazed by beauty!"
The man from Ruoliu was hot-tempered and suddenly stood up.
Mercenaries also had different ranks.
Gold Mercenaries, should refer to a level of mercenaries.
The two mercenaries before her were clearly of a high level.
They were collaborating with Black Brilliance Market because of a special situation that required a special one-time collaboration.
According to their initial requirements, the other party in this collaboration should at least be of Great Spirit Master level, or alternatively, the remuneration should be astonishingly high, but obviously, Xin Lin met neither criteria.
Both men were astute, immediately recognizing that whether Xin Lin’s Dark Master cultivation or her Spiritual Practitioner cultivation, both were quite ordinary.
"Hold on, I think this matter should not be blamed on Hall Master Jiang."
Xin Lin quickly stood up to stop them.
