Hector's words broke the silence on the battlefield. He looked at Agamemnon with a hint of anticipation and unease in his eyes: "Regardless, my family in Orlando has some reputation. I'll supply you with an additional three thousand, making it a total of six thousand universal coins. Will you be my escort?"
Agamemnon fell silent for a moment, taking a deep breath as a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes. He looked at Hector, and the weariness in his eyes gradually gave way to determination. He knew that as an independent mercenary, such opportunities were rare. Moreover, the journey to Orlando was also an important one for him.
Hector's proposal made Agamemnon somewhat puzzled. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, carefully scrutinizing the merchant who claimed to be from Orlando. His intuition told him that Hector's haste was not without reason, there must be a cause for it.
"Why are you so eager to find a guard?" Agamemnon's voice revealed vigilance, as he was accustomed to the hardships of life on the continent and knew that every decision had to be carefully considered.
Hector looked around nervously, making sure no one else was listening, and then whispered, "I have an important deal coming up in Orlando, but the situation in the city has been unstable recently, and the business competition is getting fierce. I'm worried about my safety."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Your performance just now impressed me. I believe that with you by my side, I can handle my business more confidently."
Agamemnon fell silent for a moment, pondering the proposal. He knew that as a Half Blood, his survival on the mainland often relied on such sporadic commissions. His gaze ultimately settled on Hector's tense and expectant face, and he nodded in agreement.
"Very well, I accept your proposal. But I have my principles and will not engage in any illicit business," Agamemnon stated firmly and calmly.
Hector immediately showed a relieved smile and nodded, "Of course, I absolutely respect your principles."
Hector heard Agamemnon's promise and a relaxed and joyful expression appeared on his face. He hurried over, carefully avoiding the charred debris and scattered fragments on the ground.
"Then let's set off now," Hector said with a hint of nervousness and excitement in his voice. He knew that with a guard like Agamemnon by his side, he would feel much safer no matter what dangers they faced.
Agamemnon nodded as he checked his gear, gazing in the direction of distant Orlando.
Hector hurried towards the overturned truck, anxiously calling for Agamemnon in the hope of his assistance. The truck, loaded with goods, had veered off its original position due to a previous collision and now lay sideways on the roadside, with one of its four wheels visibly embedded in the soil, causing significant deformation.
Agamemnon walked over and carefully examined the truck's condition. Despite his body still bearing the wounds of battle, he knew that Hector urgently needed help. With his strong hands and the power of Half Blood, he steadily righted the truck. Under his strength, the truck slowly returned to its normal position, but the broken wheel continued to make the vehicle sway unsteadily.
"Looks like it needs repair," Agamemnon sighed, his gaze sweeping over the damaged wheel. "We need to find the right tools or replace the wheel."
Hector stood by the tilted truck, looking at the damaged wheel and the shaking body, then turned to Agamemnon and said, "We don't need to worry about the wheel; I have a spare to replace it. But I'm more concerned about the power system of this truck."
Hector's words made Agamemnon breathe a sigh of relief, at least the issue with the wheels was not a big problem and could be quickly resolved. But Hector seemed more concerned about the power system of the truck, which could mean a more complex repair job.
Hector pointed to the power system at the front of the truck, a complex mechanical device responsible for driving the entire vehicle. Agamemnon followed his gaze, trying to understand the problem. The core of the power system was a square platform with a protruding cylindrical device. From the appearance, this device did not seem to be active, with no signs of power flowing around it.
Hector headed towards the back of the truck to retrieve the spare wheels, while Agamemnon went to the power system to prepare for a thorough inspection. He wasn't a mechanical expert, but as a frequent traveler and a Half Blood, he had a basic understanding and handling ability for various vehicles and machinery.
Agamemnon squatted down and carefully inspected every part of the power system. He noticed some signs that could lead to a system shutdown, such as abnormal wear or damage to the wiring. He gently touched the cylinder, feeling for any subtle vibrations or heat, all of which were crucial indicators of the power system's operational status.
At the same time, Hector took out a spare wheel from the rear compartment and returned to the car to begin replacing the damaged wheel. His movements were skilled and swift, clearly not his first time performing such an operation.
Agamemnon opened the engine cover, revealing the complex mechanical structure inside. Power systems combining steam and magic were common on this continent, but even a merchant like Hector seemed somewhat powerless when it came to repairing such highly complex machinery. Agamemnon leaned over to inspect the vehicle's interior. Although not a professional mechanic, as a frequent traveler, he had a certain understanding of basic mechanical maintenance and repair.
"It looks like there's damage to the power transmission part," Agamemnon said, his hands busy inside the engine, trying to find the problem. "We need to find the right tools, and perhaps some replacement parts."
