Mercenary System

10 Chapter 10: Crimson Cloud

After finishing all the procedure to register to be a mercenary, Razlov slowly make his way to the table where the red hair man and his companion are. There is also the sleeping Solba whose drooling.

Seeing me getting near their table. The red hair man smile and greeted me.

"Come my friend, here sit, sit, please feel comfortable."

"Let me introduce myself. I am Carson."

Carson is the red hair man. He seems to be in his middle ages, although not as muscular as Solba his body is fit. You can see from his eyes that he is an experienced mercenary. There are also his companions 3 males except for the sleeping Solba and 2 female, which I find rare among mercenary to have woman in their team.

"Let me introduce my companions to you" said Carson as he pointed at 3 males and 2 females.

"The man with armor is Klendel" Razlov look at Klendel and nod as greeting. Klendel also look in his middle ages. He also the second most muscular among the group, only behind Solba. He also the most kind looking, keeping his smile all the time since the beginning.

"The one with tied hair is Tirso" Carson pointed at the other man. Razlov also nod at Tirso. Tirso just like Carson he has a fit body. Looking like at his late twenties. He has a straight posture like a soldier and has a serious expression on his face.' Looks like this Tirso is a former soldier from the way he carry himself.' thought Razlov.

"The remaining man is Troy" Razlov nod at Troy. Troy has a slim body and look in his late twenties. Out of all the people in the group, he has the most simple look.

"You already know Solba, then after the boys then its time for the girls." said Carson

"The one with the same look as me is my beautiful sister Wendy; 'She currently single'." said Carson with a wink. Wendy, just like her brother she also has a red hair and she look like in her mid twenties. Her beauty is above average, beautiful in normal people's view but pales in comparison to those rich daughters of merchant and nobles. But she has those huge chest to compete.

'Damn! I've never seen anything like it. Its bigger than Miss Selina which is E cup in size. Those are probably H or I from my estimate. Good thing for Miss Selina that she is more beautiful or else she would lose to Wendy; overall, landslide.' thought Razlov

"Nice to meet you." said Wendy in cold and boyish tone.

"Dear sister! what's with that tone? With your way of talking to people and attitude you'll never find a good husband. Me, your brother is worried about your future." said Carson, feeling helpless at his sister.

"Why do you care, this is me and I don't need to change myself just to find a man. Who cares about a man anyway! I, Wendy don't need a man." said Wendy in cold and angry tone.

"I'm just worried about you." said Carson in a very helpless tone.

Seeing the bickering sibling duo the group couldn't help but smile, even the serious Tirso also let out a slight smile.

"Sigh, let me continue. The girl next to my sister is her best friend and sister of Tirso, Amelia." Amelia just like Wendy she is also look like in her mid twenties. She is also slightly more beautiful than Wendy and her chest is neither big nor small. Amelia also don't look like her brother Tirso.

"Hello, nice to meet you" said Amelia in soft tone

"And that's everyone. We are by the way the Crimson Cloud mercenary band." said Carson

"Nice to meet you everyone, I'm Razlov."said Razlov with a smile

"So Razlov, I'll go straight to the point. Wanna join our group?" ask Carson

"Why do you want to invite me? I just register just now, a complete amateur." said Razlov

"No need to be humble. With the way I saw how you attack Solba, I know that you are not simple at all." said Carson

Razlov pondered for second. Whether he should accept or reject Carson's invitation. But recalling that he has a mission to recruit 20 individual to train. He immediately decided to reject the invitation.

"Sorry, right now I don't plan on joining a group." said Razlov in apologetic tone.

"Aiys, don't worry about it I was just casually asking you." said Carson

"Ohh! here is the food we ordered. Lets continue to chat while we eat." said Carson as the waiter come bringing out the dishes we ordered.

Razlov and the group continue to chat while eating.

He also got to know the things he needed to know and a lot of information about the world. Since mercenary travel to different places they knew things that the local does not know.

Razlov also got know that the group are actually childhood friends. They live in the same neighborhood back in their hometown. Carson and Tirso were former soldier before they got kick out of the army due to some mistake they made.

After they were kick out they return to their hometown and started to form their own mercenary band with their childhood friends as its member. It was only later that the 2 females started to join them. The group is already 5 years old since it has been formed.

In the group everyone was a warrior except for Amelia, who was actually a magician. So Razlov got excited to chat with Amelia about magicians. From what he learned from Amelia, magician don't actually need to shout spells, they just need to have a clear image of what spell they want to cast it.

Razlov gave a disappointed look after hearing what Amelia said.

'That means I will not be able to shout 'FIRE BALL' if I manage to become a magician. Sigh' Though Razlov

The group chat all the way until afternoon. In the middle of their chat Solba who was sleeping woke up and apologize to Razlov at what did and Razlov forgave him.

Razlov was the first to retire from the group.

"Carson, everyone its time for me to be on my way since I still have things to do." said Razlov

"Then see you later, Razlov if you ever change your mind you can join us anytime this coming few months, just left a message to the guild since we will not be always here." said Carson

"Um, I will. then see you later." said Razlov

Razlov walk to the reception area to get his id card.

"Here is your id card Mr. Razlov and if you have question regarding the guild you can ask me. I'm Clarice by the way, you can just call me Clarice." said the receptionist Clarice

"Thank you Clarice."

"Right, Clarice if I want to form my own group. So what do I need to do." ask Razlov

"Mr. Razlov could post a recruitment notice. You can ask the guild to post it in bulletin boards around the town or you can just directly ask the mercenary themselves." answered Clarice

"Thank you" said Razlov

Razlov slowly walk back to the Inn
