Chapter 23 Frank

"Great! Escort me out quickly, and I will give you a lot of money." Hope rekindled in Frank's eyes.

"How much is it?"

Hearst asked as he walked into the room to observe the underground shelter.

Lu Si also entered.It was about the size of a bedroom, with two beds and simple furniture.There are wooden barrels piled up in the corner, and it is estimated that a lot of supplies have been placed.The air is a bit cloudy, but still within a tolerable range.A beautiful young woman sat on the edge of the bed with two seven or eight-year-old children, looking at them curiously. They seemed to be Frank's family members.

"Uh... I'll give you one hundred... no, two hundred gold coins!" Frank said after them.

Hurst shook his head again and again, "Mr. Frank, you own such a big house, at least it is worth thousands of gold coins. It is not something ordinary people can do to dig such a large basement. It is conservatively estimated that your net worth is at least one year. More than [-] gold coins. There are fallen demons everywhere on the ground now, and it is not so easy to send your family to a safe place. At least, you have to show some sincerity instead of sending beggars."

Frank hesitated for a while, "Then how much do you need?"

Hearst held out five fingers.

"Five hundred gold coins? A little too much. I can pay up to three hundred."

Hester shook his head again and again, "No, no, I mean five thousand gold coins."

"What? Five thousand gold coins! You might as well just kill me!" Frank was so angry that his veins throbbed, "I spent all my money, and I don't have much left!"

"That's fine. Take your money and hide in this basement. Until the food runs out, bury them with them." Hearst made a gesture to leave.

Frank quickly stopped him, "Mr. Mercenary, please wait, the price is negotiable. I offer [-] gold coins, do you think about it?"

"The minimum is four thousand and five, and there is nothing to talk about less."

"One thousand, I really only have so much." Frank almost cried.

"Well, maybe you are really in trouble. I can lower the price for you a little. One thousand is one thousand, but I can only take you alone."

"What about them?" Frank pointed to his family.

There was a sly smile on the corner of Hester's mouth, "One thousand gold coins will be added for each additional person you bring. It's up to you how many people you take away."

The beautiful young woman stood up suddenly and begged, "Frank, don't abandon me!"

Frank looked at his wife and children, then at Hester, "Mr. Mercenary, please show kindness and take them away together."

Hearst flatly refused, "No! One thousand per person. If you don't want to pay, just stay here!"

"Mr. Mercenary, I really have no money. They will be trapped to death if they stay here!" Frank kept begging.

At this time, a sonorous voice came:

"Saving women and children is a gentleman's virtue and requires no reward!"

You don't need to look to know that it is Galen's voice.

"What a fool. Three thousand gold coins just slipped away." Hester muttered softly.

Frank was overjoyed, looked at the source of the voice, and wanted to give him a warm hug!

"Exactly! You must be a real gentleman."

Neither Nancy nor Wendy objected. As church people, they didn't value money so much.

The same is true for Lu Si.He deeply knows that the world is about to be destroyed, and money doesn't mean much.

Moreover, in a world where the core resources are controlled by nobles, many things cannot be bought with money.

"Gentlemen and ladies, when are we leaving?" Frank looked expectantly at everyone, mainly at Galen.

"We will take you with us when we prepare to retreat." Galen replied lightly.

Frank's disappointment was written on his face, but he didn't say anything.Currently, he doesn't have such an urgent need to go out.Going out might take more risks instead, and he still needs time to observe this team.

Hurst said carelessly, "Mr. Frank, your residence has been requisitioned, and we need to rest here for the night."

"No problem." Frank immediately agreed. Anyway, in this case, it's useless for him not to agree. "What's the situation outside now? Can I go out and have a look?"

"Your home has just experienced a fierce battle, and now there are corpses everywhere. If you are not afraid of death, you can go out and take a look." Hester responded casually.

Frank ran to the entrance, stuck out half of his head, and sure enough, he saw that there were dozens of corpses piled up near the stairs.

He immediately retracted his head, "Oh my god, you actually use my home as a battlefield. So many corpses will stink to death after decomposing, and my house will become a haunted house!"

"Hehe, what does it matter if it's a haunted house? You probably have no chance to live here, and no one is willing to take over the house here."

Frank's neck was red with anger, "Who said that? The kingdom's army will definitely be able to drive away these demons! Then my business will be restored, and my house will become valuable again!"

"I hope!" Hurst looked at the ceiling helplessly.The intuition of the senior mercenary made him feel that the turmoil would not end so easily.

Frank carefully closed the floor, making sure there were no gaps before returning to the room.

Lu Si took out dry food and water from the enchanted bag, and everyone in the hunting team discussed the next countermeasures while eating and drinking.

Galen said, "We'll go to Fort Kent tomorrow to have a look. Before I see what's happening in Fort Kent, I'm not willing to retreat like this."

"What? Are you going to Fort Kent?" Frank exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Don't go! You are going to die! Fort Kent is the only center of this territory. There is no doubt that the demon army will attack there first. Maybe there is already It has fallen, and it has become the base camp of the demon army!"

Galen frowned, "Sir, this is an internal matter of the Demon Hunt Squad, please don't interrupt."

Frank quickly shut his mouth, he was counting on Galen to take his wife and children out for free.

Hearst said, "Honestly, I think he's right. Fort Kent must be a priority target for the demon army. It's pointless for us to go there."

Wendy said coldly, "Mercenaries are indeed unreliable. Besides being greedy for money, they are also afraid of death."

Hearst: "..."

Nancy said, "I also think we should go and see. The terrain here is flat, and it is difficult for the demon army to surround us. Then, why not go and have a look? If they are chasing us, we should retreat here again."

Galen slammed the table, "That's right! The battle during the day has shown that fallen demons are nothing more than that, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Now, only Lu Si has not made a statement.Everyone turned their eyes to him in unison.
