Recruiting

City Lord Uther had heard of the Assassin Guild, but he had never come into contact with it. He asked, "I heard that the people in the Assassin Guild are very strange, and their rules are also very strange. Generally speaking, the more eccentric a person or organization is, the more difficult it is to get along with them. If we rashly invite the assassin organization in, won't it cause some negative effects to ourselves? "

Liang Lidong said, "The assassin union does have a lot of strange rules. For example, they won't reveal any information about their clients and are difficult to get along with. This is actually a way for them to protect themselves. It doesn't matter much."

"Then why is it the Assassin's Guild and not the Mercenary's Guild?" asked the Castellan's wife.

Liang Lidong sighed and said, "Haven't you seen it clearly? It was reasonable to say that the Church of Life didn't have many professionals apart from the few Priests on their side. But think about it, how many professionals have we met? You must've met a lot of professionals half a year ago, right? Even if the Church of Life could afford so many mercenaries, they wouldn't be able to do so until Winterwind had that many mercenaries. So, it would be weird if the Guild of Mercenaries of Winterwind was not involved. Only the Mercenary Guild can transfer professionals from other cities to our city. "

At this moment, Uther finally reacted. "The Mercenary Guild is also participating in this battle? They actually dared to intervene in the dispute between the nobles. Heh, how bold of them! "

In fact, with Uther's ability and experience, he should have long realized that the Mercenary Guild was involved in this battle, but because of the prejudice and arrogance of the nobles, he thought that such a low-level organization as the Mercenary Guild would not dare to intervene in a large-scale aristocratic struggle. In addition, the Mercenary Guild did not directly intervene, and Uther had placed too much attention on the Church of Life, so it caused a situation where he was in the dark. He slapped the desk hard. "So, the Guild of Mercenaries has been targeting the Longman family for at least half a year? Why? "

Liang Lidong said indifferently, "You have to ask the Longman family yourself. How would I know?"

Uther thought for a moment and said, "Since the Church of Life has the help of the Guild of Mercenaries, it's not against the rules for us to pull the Guild of Assassins in. Unfortunately, the Guild of Assassins has always been secretive, and our Longman family has never come into contact with them. "

"I can find them, but I'll need a lot of capital to convince them to join the battle between the nobles."

The City Lord's wife walked behind her husband and said, "Now is not the time to talk about money. If we can't get through this, there will be nothing. If we can get through this, we have a bright future ahead of us with the gold mine. Sir Beta, please tell us how many gold coins we need to pull the Guild of Assassins into our camp. "

"At least five hundred."

Uther slapped the table. "Alright, no problem. We'll give you a thousand. The rest is His Excellency Beta's fee."

"I will return the extra money to you." Liang Lidong said slowly, "But the three partners of the Longman Family have to do something. Even if they didn't have much strength, they could at least use their connections. We can't be fighting at the front while they enjoy life behind us, right? "

"Apart from the Guelph Family, the other two families are rather stupid." The City Lord's wife said disdainfully, "Besides, they might not be completely on our side. I don't trust them to take action. Sir, you should know that sometimes stupid allies are more terrifying than enemies."

"Then why did you pull them into your alliance?"

The City Lord's wife smiled and said matter-of-factly, "If they don't join us, they will definitely join the Church of Life. If they are in our alliance, we can still keep an eye on them. If they become part of the Church of Life, who knows what they will do? Besides, smart people have their own uses, and stupid people have their own uses. Don't you think they're good shields when it's necessary? "

It had to be said that the City Lord's family was very smart, both the City Lord and the City Lord's wife. Perhaps they would occasionally overlook something, but when it came to major matters, they would not make low-level mistakes. Moreover, when it was necessary, they could be ruthless enough. Liang Lidong stood up. "Then should I be glad that I'm not stupid? Otherwise, I wouldn't even be qualified to be a shield. "

The City Lord's wife said with a smile, "Mr. Beta is different."

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment. I'm going to the Guild of Assassins now. Prepare the gold coins. "

Liang Lidong knew very well in the game that most nobles couldn't be trusted. Although the City Lord's family seemed to trust Liang Lidong, they must've been on guard against him in private. However, Liang Lidong wasn't stupid, and he wouldn't completely trust the Longman family. He knew very well that if the Church of Life's forces in Winterwind were completely eradicated, Uther would definitely try to deal with him after he recovered. So, he planned to help the City Lord, but he wouldn't give him a hundred percent, but sixty percent at most.

It was still the small house in the Guild of Assassins, and it was still the mature beauty Katerina who received him.

"Mr. Beta, it's only been two days since your last commission. There's no need to be in such a hurry." Katerina was slightly confused. "Based on what we know, you should be a man who can keep his cool."

"I'm here for something else." Liang Lidong observed Katerina, who seemed tired and had obvious dark circles under her eyes. "You should know that the City Lord of Winterwind and the Church of Life are at odds because of certain things."

"Of course I know about such a big thing."

Liang Lidong said, "Then you should know my stance. The Guild of Mercenaries is on the Church of Life's side, and we're at a disadvantage. So, I'm here to ask the Guild of Assassins to help the City Lord of Winterwind against the enemy. "

Katerina shook her head. "No, it's too risky."

Katerina's refusal was understandable. After all, it was unwise for any organization to get involved in a battle recklessly, unless the reward was high enough to make them forget their losses.

Liang Lidong smiled. "I know it's risky, but the higher the risk, the higher the reward. What do you think of five hundred gold coins?"

Katerina took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling. She thought for a moment and said, "The reward is indeed enough, but we lack a reason, so it's still not feasible. We can't put our teammates in danger. They're all precious talents. "

Liang Lidong chuckled twice, and then under the astonished gaze of the other party, he said, "Actually, I already have a reason. The Guild of Mercenaries is the sworn enemy of the Guild of Assassins. If you can trick them in Winterwind, I think that everybody in the Guild of Assassins will celebrate with magic fireworks. They'll be glad to see that. "

The Guild of Assassins and the Guild of Mercenaries hated each other. The Guild of Assassins didn't act like this before. They had their own "front office" just like the Guild of Mercenaries, but one day, the Guild of Mercenaries ambushed them, and the battle ended with the Guild of Assassins' defeat. So, the Guild of Assassins became more and more inconspicuous. The reason why the Guild of Mercenaries attacked the Guild of Assassins was simple: disobedience.

Everybody in the Guild of Assassins was ashamed of the bald eagle's words, so they acted in secret. However, the mercenaries' insult to the Guild of Assassins was spread all over the world, and it was difficult to take it back. Since then, fewer and fewer people were willing to go to the Guild of Assassins for missions. Although a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, the Guild of Assassins had become what it was as time went by.

"How do you know that we hate the Guild of Mercenaries, Mr. Beta?" Kate's muscles were tightened. She would take action immediately if the guy's answer was wrong. "Few people in the world know that."

"And I'm one of them!" Liang Lidong pointed at himself. "I even know that the Guild of Mercenaries was only a subsidiary of the Guild of Assassins at the beginning. They weren't called the Guild of Mercenaries, but … the Support Group!"

After a long silence, Katerina's face flushed and paled. After a long time, she said, "Okay, I agree to it. Five hundred gold coins are indeed enough for our branch to work for you. Besides, it will be even better if we can weaken the Guild of Mercenaries. But you can give us at least two days to prepare. I'll come to you with my men in two days. "

"No problem!" Liang Lidong threw an iron box out of his Backpack and smashed it on the table. "Here are five hundred gold coins … Ms. Katerina, you must be the chairman of the branch, right?"

"A man who is too smart is not well-liked by women," Katerina gave Liang Lidong a glance.
