Chapter 172: Solicitation from Mulandana
Although Panda wanted to leave Mulandana as soon as possible, he had to wait two or three days.
Customizing a set of harnesses is a hassle. It only took Barney about an hour to cut out the main body of the various parts of the harness. But what really took the time was later - in order to make the harness durable, he had to work on the leather, edging, edging, inlaying...and of course some of his unique craftsmanship.
There are hand grinders in this world, but there are no sewing machines. Barney's shop is the only one. All the work must be done by himself. Of course, it takes a lot of time.
Although Panda was in a hurry, he stubbornly said that since he has done it, he must do it well, and he will never smash the sign.
Panda felt that he didn't have the confidence to smash the signboard of "Master of Leather Armor", so he could only suppress his anxiety and found a small hotel near Barney's shop to stay and wait quietly.
This hotel is actually a tent, and the conditions are quite simple. But the owner of the hotel is a very careful and tasteful person. The inside of the tent is kept clean, and some fragrant flowers and plants are also planted, which can greatly offset the common odor in the hotel.
Of course, the tent hotel is not expensive. Panda rents a bed for only one silver coin, plus one silver coin, the boss will provide him with two meals a day. Although it is only scones, mixed vegetables and bone soup, but at least it is full of meat and vegetables, both staple food and soup dishes, and there is quite a lot of meat in the bone soup.
Such two meals can probably be eaten with only one silver coin in Mulandana.
After a full meal, the panda took Qinglong out for a walk-he was full, but Qinglong had not eaten yet.
Although it is different from the ordinary Qingya horse, it not only eats meat but also grass, but pandas can't do things like eating meat and other people's grass.
They spent an hour outside Mulanda's, catching four or five rabbits, a few voles, and a wolf.
The city is rich in materials, and all kinds of domestic waste are food for the mice. Even if they can't eat it, it will become fertilizer, breed fertile grass, and allow animals such as rabbits to get enough food. Animals such as mice and rabbits became food for predators such as foxes and wolves, resulting in huge animal communities.
If you want to find something to eat here, it is easy for a powerful monster like Qinglong.
Moreover, there are cattle and sheep raised by herdsmen nearby. If it weren't for the panda's restraint, perhaps it would not choose to hunt rabbits, voles and wolves, and go straight to the cattle and sheep.
After Qinglong was also full, the panda took it back to the hotel, but unexpectedly learned that someone was waiting here and wanted to meet him.
"Meet?" Hearing this word, he immediately had an ominous premonition, feeling that a **** storm from the rivers and lakes was blowing in front of him.
Before he crossed over, he had seen a famous movie. In the movie, it was said that some people have grievances, and if there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes.
This sentence is really a little literary, but many times, it can be fulfilled.
For example, now.
"Are you looking for me?" Panda looked at the chubby, round-faced young man and asked in confusion, "We shouldn't know each other."
"My name is Ronaldo, and I'm a clerk in the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Governor's Mansion." The round-faced young man said, "Your name is Panda, and you're a wandering warrior. Look, don't we just know each other."
The panda was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.
This man is so familiar!
He was not surprised that the other party knew his identity - when he was staying at the hotel, the boss had already asked about his identity and made a record. Since this young man who reminded him of football is the clerk of the Governor's Palace, of course he has the right to investigate the boss. Knowing who you are is not surprising at all.
"Then... Mr. Ronaldo, what do you have to do with me?" Panda asked directly, not wanting to go around in circles.
Ronaldo didn't answer immediately, but asked with a smile, "How long has Mr. Panda been wandering outside?"
"It's not too long, I'm still young."
"So, how much money have you earned after wandering for all these years?"
Panda frowned: "Just look at the hotel I live in."
Ronaldo smiled until his eyes narrowed: "So I want to ask, Mr. Panda, are you interested in doing some long-term or short-term work?"
Panda thought for a while and asked, "What's the long-term thing? What's the short-term thing?"
"The specific thing is that our kingdom of Thrace is currently recruiting warriors who can fight well. If you want, you can at least become the captain or vice-captain of a centurion. If you make a contribution in the battle, you can get the fief, Becoming a noble is not an unattainable thing..."
"Please tell me the truth!" Panda interrupted him, "Don't fool me with such empty words that lie to fools!"
Being exposed to empty words, Ronaldo didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, and still smiled: "You can't say that, for those who are incompetent, getting a fief and becoming a noble is indeed an empty talk. But for those who can tame green For the powerhouses of King Jama, I don't think these things should be so difficult."
"Is this what you call long-term work?" Panda asked without answering the question.
Ronaldo shook his head: "This is a short-term job. After all, no one knows how long the kingdom's military expansion plan will last. And even if the army expands, there will be a question mark as to whether the establishment will always exist - so this can only be regarded as a short term. ."
"What's the long term?"
"Our Governor's Palace has been recruiting elite soldiers to enrich Mulandana's defense." Ronaldo said, "As long as he is clean and has a good character, we are happy to be colleagues with him. Your character , has been proven in yesterday's skirmish, strong but not vicious, willing to reason with people, a character who can be called a 'gentleman'. If you are willing to join us, we will be a long time in the future Time colleagues. That's the real long-term job."
Panda looked at him carefully, and saw only the indistinguishable smile on his face.
So Panda shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't really understand the situation in Mulandana, and I feel that the political struggle on your side is a bit severe. Joining you now, I'm afraid it will feel like a moth to the flame."
Ronaldo's smile faded a little, and there was a bit of worry in his eyes, and then he disappeared: "You don't speak secretly in front of Ming people, your worries are very reasonable. The political situation of our Mulandana is really not right now. It's very stable. So if you don't feel relieved about it, I have a very short-term job here, or as adventurers are used to say, it's called a 'job'. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"
"I've already listened to what you said, and I don't care more." Panda smiled and said, "It's okay to listen."
"The Patrol Division is planning to organize a crusade in the near future to destroy a group of monsters that wandered nearby. In order to ensure success and reduce losses, we are now recruiting experts as much as possible." Ronaldo said, "This job is very simple, there are no tricks, participate In battle, on the basis of the basic reward, additional bonuses are given according to the performance in the battle, and everything is done according to the rules of the adventurer.”
"You would never refuse such a job, would you?"
