New Age Of Summoners

”I need some time to consider joining your squad”, Ajax replied.

” Ok, Until then if you like, you can temporarily stay with us ”, Hunter’s boss also didn’t force him.

After some thought, Ajax followed the hunters back to the town.

”By the way, my name is Edmond Hazegrove, captain of the Hazegrove Mercenary squad which is formed recently, that’s why we are lacking in numbers which are also why we are asking you to join us if you don’t have anywhere to go” While walking Edmond introduced himself and continued introducing others, ”the middle-aged man and youth with long hair who are carrying axes on their backs are Udo keenaxe and Jeff keenaxe. They are father and son. The remaining two are Paulin Hawkpelt and Lewis graystream. They are sons of my old friends”, Edmond finished everyone’s introduction.

”Hello, everyone”, Ajax soon looked at them and remembered their names while greeting them.

Udo just nodded his head in response while others greeted politely.

These three youths were puzzled and shocked at their captain’s invitation into the squad because it’s not easy for them to join even with their father’s recommendation.

’ Maybe something in him piqued Boss’s interest’, they silently thought to themselves and greeted politely.

Soon they reached the town, Goldcrest.

”The town itself looks exciting. This town wasn’t built by a lake by accident, as it has fertile soils, which is of great importance to the people of Goldcrest and it’s success”, as soon as they entered the town, paulin started describing the town.

”It has a flourishing economy, which is mainly supported by smithing and hunting but it’s most influential strength is ’Mercenary guild”, lewis explained about town’s economy but sensing the confused look on Ajax’s face he continued, ” Mercenary guild is one of the largest organization in the Zrochester province which has many branches in many towns and cities. They provide living residences, missions, and rewards for us mercenary squads. So many people are willing to join the mercenary guild for its rewards”, Lewis explained many things about the mercenary guild.

Ajax now understood how the mercenary guild works. It releases some missions, completing them gives rewards and increases the squad ranking.

”Hey, old Edmond, you are back early today”,

”Boss, are you doing any mission today?? ”,

” Edmond, you have a new face in your squad, did you recruit him”,

When they were walking in the town, their squad was greeted with many passersby.

All passersby had a respectful tone while greeting.

Amidst their talking, they reached a White building. It has two floors and it is fully surrounded by a garden path to add beauty to the building.

”This building is provided for our mercenary squad for Completing many missions without failing”, Said the usually silent Udo keenaxe with a proud look in his eyes.

” Ajax, take the first room on the first floor. Clean yourself and get some rest. When dinner is ready I will inform you”, Edmond Hazegrove said to Ajax after they went into the building.

”But boss.... ”, but even before he completed the sentence he was cut off by Edmond’s glare.

” You can go, Ajax ”, Edmond said gently.

After Ajax went into the room, Lewis continued, ” Boss, that room is off-limits to everyone but why did you now allow him, who didn’t even join our squad??”, Lewis asked Edmond puzzledly.

”I will say” before Edmond can say anything, Udo spoke as he continued, ” Because he looks somewhat identical to the boss’s son who died before we established this squad”.

As soon as they heard of this, they didn’t ask anything, because they didn’t want to make Edmond sad.

In the room

”It feels refreshing to shower after so many days and a soft bed to sleep after spending many days in that damned cursed abyss”, Ajax relaxed on a soft bed as he thought to himself.

” I wonder, how my friends are??? ”, soon he felt worried thinking about his friends, Damon, Hector, and Jason who escaped into the cursed wilderness.

” I hope they are safe”, Ajax comforted himself and fell into a deep sleep.

At night he was woken up by Paulin and Lewis to eat dinner and talk something while eating.

After eating, Ajax said to Edmond,

”I will join your squad, sir”.
