Hogan had basically been idle at home since he joined Baron Amborite. When Chorre arrived at Hogan's house, he was sweating profusely in the backyard, honing his martial arts skills.
Hogan was very happy to hear that Chorre had come to visit. He put down the heavy sword that was specially used for strength training, took off the heavy armor for training, dried his body, changed his clothes, came to the living room, and warmly hugged Chorre.
Looking at the steaming Hogan, Chorre patted his arm appreciatively and said, "Hogan, do you know what I admire most about you?
It's your never-slackening diligence. Sooner or later, you will become a great warrior. Our Baron will definitely regret it. "
Hogan smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, Chorre. I feel very good now. I have a generous annuity, but I don't have to do anything. I can concentrate on honing my martial arts skills. Chorre, I already feel that I'm about to break through again!
Chorre was pleasantly surprised. "Really?
That's great, I knew you could do it. "
Hogan was originally a Level 8 Warrior and a Level 4 Rogue. Four primary professions could be converted into two intermediate professions. Therefore, Hogan's total level was almost equivalent to a Level 10 Warrior.
At Hogan's level, every step forward would leave a large number of professions behind, and he would rise one step on the pyramid of professions.
Hogan invited Chorre to take a seat and asked the servant to bring two cups of milk tea.
Hogan took a sip of the tea and asked, "Chorre, why didn't you go back to catch up on sleep? What's the matter?"
Chorre put down the teacup, nodded, and said, "There's something. There's an opportunity to make money. I don't know if you're interested?"
Hogan put down the teacup, leaned on the sofa, and gestured for him to speak.
Chorre said, "A foreign mercenary came to my tavern. He claimed to be a member of the Forest Tiger mercenary group. Everyone thought he was bragging, but I think he might be. Because what he said about the war with the ogres at Avon Lake a few days ago was exactly the same as what I heard from Kyle. Moreover, he knew more details than Kyle. If he wasn't someone who experienced the war personally, it would be impossible for him to know more than Kyle."
Kyle was Chorre's brother, Baron Amborite's chief knight.
The information channels of a noble was definitely not something an ordinary mercenary could compare with. unless he was someone who experienced personally.
After a pause, Chorre continued, "This foreign mercenary came to me and told me that when he completed a mission to investigate the goblins, he found a goblin camp. There, he found two Troll."
Hearing the name Troll, Hogan immediately sat up straight, and his expression became serious.
A Troll's essence extracted from a Troll was worth tens of thousands of crowns.
As a commoner knight of the Amborite family, Hogan's annual income was only 1,500 crowns, which was more than 100 crowns a month. This monthly income was quite generous in this world.
Twenty thousand crowns was Hogan's income for more than ten years. This was definitely a huge sum of money for him.
Hogan thought for a while and asked, "How credible do you think it is?"
Chorre said, "I went to Old Matthew and asked. This mercenary called Allen came from Antalya and did take a mission to investigate the goblins. Most importantly, this guy is only a 6th-level warrior and a 4th-level rogue."
Hogan understood what Chorre meant. It was hard to tell whether this Allen was reliable with the information they had, but his strength was limited and should be within the range of control.
Chorre thought for a while and said, "The reason I think this is more credible is because of another incident. It was a very shocking incident that happened in Amborite about ten years ago. At that time, the Old Amborite Baron was still alive, and Erik was still a knight of the Amborite family.
"At that time, there was a mercenary group that was investigating a case of goblins killing a farmer. They were attacked by goblin wolf riders in the depths of the forest and almost all of them were wiped out. Erik was ordered to lead his knights and hire all the elite mercenaries in the town to enter the forest and exterminate the goblins.
"At that time, I was one of the knights that followed Erik. That battle was very memorable. We spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to conquer the goblin camp in the depths of the forest. At that time, we encountered three Troll domesticated by the goblins, which made Erik a lot of money.
"Later, Erik left Amborite and founded Red Lion with this money as the start-up capital."
Listening to Chorre's story, Hogan's body gradually leaned forward. When Chorre finished, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "So, this Allen is probably telling the truth?
Chorre nodded and said, "At least it's possible."
What Chorre did not know was that the reason why Feng Chou could think of this plan was related to this matter. Although Leo was only a six-year-old child at that time, this matter was so sensational that people often talked about it for a long time, so Leo also had a deep impression of this matter.
Therefore, Feng Chou could not help but guess that since there were Troll near Amborite, they should not exist alone. Otherwise, the population would not be able to reproduce. Therefore, he sent the Pet of the Eagle and Qiankun Pagoda to search the forest near Amborite.
Of course, if they could not find the Troll, Feng Chou also had other plans to lure the traitor Hogan.
Hogan thought for a while and asked, "Chorre, since we already know what mission Allen took, we should be able to find the gnome camp according to the mission. Why don't you go with me …"
Chorre shook his head and said, "No, no, no!
You know, this is not my style. Just like what the mercenary said, I am a trustworthy fool, and I don't lack money. "
Hogan raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the mercenary knows you very well?"
Chorre said, "It's not that he knows me, it's Black Tiger Joey. We worked with the Fierce Tiger of the Forest many times in the past, and he was a good partner. He knew about me from Joey."
Hogan nodded and said, "No wonder he wanted to work with you."
Chorre said, "I think this is a good opportunity. Think about it. If you are interested, come to my tavern tonight, and I will introduce him to you."
Hogan nodded and said, "I will think about it."
Hogan did not mention the matter of working with Chorre again. On one hand, he knew that this was not Chorre's style. On the other hand, if he worked with Chorre, he would only get half of the reward. However, if he worked with an unfamiliar mercenary who was not as strong as him, he might get more …
Chorre put down the teacup and said, "The tea is very good. Thank you for your hospitality. I think I should take my leave. I need to go back and get some sleep."
Hogan got up and sent Chorre out of the courtyard.
In a guest room on the second floor of the Red Lion, Feng Chou, who was lying on the bed with his clothes on, suddenly showed a strange smile.
