39 Chapter 39: Job? (2/2)

”It's okay, so how much do I have to pay?” Razlov was disappointed that he didn't manage to get any information with regards to a herbalist.

”There's no need, as it is only a piece of minor information that is not worth noting for. We only keep information like this is for the record since there are still people like you who came asking for information” said Clarice

”Thank you, Clarice... I have to go, so, see you around” Razlov said goodbye to Clarice and went to where Carson and his group as he had an appointment with them.

Razlov walks towards the table where Carson's group is situated. When Carson saw Razlov walking towards them, he stands up and walks to Razlov and welcomes him. He then put his hands on Razlov's shoulder as he guides him to an empty chair.

When they sit down, Carson began to talk ” Haha, It's good to see you again, It's has been more than two months since we've last seen each other... Oh, let me introduce to the new members of our group. That young looking man is Bradly and the one with a mustache is Fernan... Guys, let me introduce you to a friend of ours, Razlov”

”Glad to meet you, I'm Razlov” Razlov and the other two new members of Carson group nodded at each other.

”Hey, Razlov, I heard you formed your own group, is that true?” The one who interjected was Solba. Solba was the one who Razlov knocked out in their previous encounter. He was drunk at that time and was questioning Razlov for joining the guild as a mercenary, he was then pissed at what Razlov said and tried to punch him only to be knocked out by Razlov's palm strike right at his jaw.

”Yeah, that's true. I have formed my own mercenary group and its called 'Dragon Force'.” Razlov admitted it since there's no reason for him to hide it.

”Hehe, so that's why you rejected Carson's invitation to join our group back then” Solba said as he laughs foolishly.

Razlov shrugged at what Solba had said then he said: ”I have already planned back then to form my own group so I rejected Carson's invitation... by the way, how did you know I formed my own group?”

”Ughm”

Carson cleared his throat and began to talk: ”When we arrive here after completing a request, we heard that there's a new mercenary group that has been completing request after request with having not failed even once on any request they had taken or even casualty; there's none. Although this group had just started no one can deny that their track record is good. And their only demeaning features are their weird clothes and the weird stick they are carrying. Then we finally saw the members of this group and to our amazement, we have already seen their clothes. So we asked the guild for information and that how we got to know that you are the leader of the leader of this new mercenary group”

”Ah, I see... so, how about you guys, how have you been faring this last three months?” asks Razlov

”We're doing good, we manage to get quite a sum of gold coins during our last 2 jobs... But let's forget about us, let's talk about you... how have you been these past three months and how did you manage to get that strong mercenary group even though you all had just started not long ago?” said Carson curiously and it's the same with rest.

Seeing their curious look, Razlov started to recall and tell them what happened during the three months that they hadn't seen each other from the recruitment of the members, training at the camp, to taking request from the guild. Razlov was talking with some truths and lies inserted as he explains what he had done during this past three months; of course, he didn't divulge about the weapons they are using even though it's an open secret.

”What! are you telling us that three months ago those members of your mercenary group are all greenhorn that hadn't even experience killing a person! And in just a short time you've managed to turn them from newbie to elite that can complete requests without suffering any casualty!!... Unbelievable!!” Solba exclaim

”Razlov, you're just kidding right, you are just boasting right” said Tirso as he was unable to believe what Razlov had just said because it usually takes a half- year to a year of training with the addition of experiencing various fight for one to become elite.

”What would I get from that?” well, part of the reason why they are strong is because of the weapons they are using.

Seeing that Razlov seems not to be kidding or lying to them, Carson and Tirso look at each other as they both come to an understanding. They then turn to look at Razlov.

”Razlov, are you interested in a job?” asks Carson

”Job?”
