Chapter 17: The Mercenary Guild
The layout of the royal city of Arton is magnificent, and there are three ring roads in the square city built around the palace towers, which are affectionately called the "inner ring", "middle ring" and "outer ring" by the residents of the royal city.
In addition, there are four main passages named after the four basic elements of "wind, water, earth, and wood", which lead from the four square gates to the four gates of the palace.
At the intersection of Central and the Avenue of Winds, it is the heart of the entire Alton Intranet business district, where land is at a premium, and where the Mercenary Guild is located.
The interior of the Mercenary Guild is magnificent, the decoration is extremely luxurious, and the waiting area in the front hall was built with a bold design with a ceiling height of more than ten meters.
Step inside and look up at the translucent hedron dome.
The only four black boulder pillars in the office area of the hall are inlaid with ferocious beast motifs in precious metals.
The walls of the surrounding passages are covered with specimens of the heads of various beasts, giving the entire atrium a sense of oppression, forming a strong contrast with the empty and wide antechamber.
The front hall is divided into two halls, the left hall is a full-day dining room bar for people to discuss business, and the right hall is arranged in several columns according to the type of task.
Just a few days ago, in the column of missing people and objects, the five-star mission "Griffin's Mandate" was finally solved, and the task was extremely complete.
For a year, this high-stakes quest has been on the taskbar, and many mercenary groups have a place on their task lists.
Therefore, as soon as the announcement of the commission was posted, it immediately caused a heated discussion among many mercenaries.
Almost overnight, the news of Young Master Griffin's return spread throughout the city of Arton.
"Hey, I heard about it, the hunchbacked young master of the Griffin family has actually been recovered. ”
In the corner of the left hall of the mercenary guild, a gloomy voice sounded.
"I'm not deaf, how can I not hear of it?" replied a stout middle-aged man with a beard on his head.
"It is said that when I lost it, I was a hunchback, and when I came back, not only was it not hunchbacked, but I also became a chosen one, isn't this nonsense?"
At the other end of the round table, the little man who spoke gloomily picked his teeth in boredom.
"Don't be foolish, right?" said a peach-eyed young man with two strands of sideburns on the sofa not far from him, "It's not easy to be a chosen one in the family." ”
"Hey, that's weird here, it's a real thing when he comes back, Old Tom of the South Outer Ring knows, right?" The bearded man was aroused, and he looked well-informed.
"You know, that shaver with a broken mouth, his skills are not bad, but he talks a little more. The guy at the next table also came over to join in the discussion.
"That's him, I heard that Young Master Griffin came back with an unkempt face and long hair, so it's not scary...
It was old Tom who gave him a haircut, and he cut it with a knife in his hand..."
The bearded man took a sip of his wine glass, and by the way, he saw that several tables of people were staring at him and waiting for him to finish, so he continued with satisfaction:
"Such a big crystal, growing on the door of his head!"
"You're talking about turtle shells, right?" The peach-eyed young man looked at his palm, which was as big as a big man's fan, and said disdainfully:
"If there is such a big crystal on his head, then he can't grow hair, what kind of haircut is there?"
"That's it, that's it!"
"Nonsense!"
“...”
When everyone heard this, they all felt that their IQ had been insulted, and they immediately scolded.
"I've got big hands, eh, I've got big hands..."
The bearded man also knew that his cowhide had been blown up, so he hurriedly changed his tone and confessed, and then said, "Do you know why Young Master Griffin turned out to be a hunchback?"
When they heard this, they all shook their heads.
"A hunchback is a hunchback, what's the reason!"
"you, don't interrupt. ”
"Let him say, I can't tell how Lao Tzu cleans him up. ”
"Hey, I heard old Tom say that when he was giving Master Griffin a haircut, he saw a sarcoma growing in his place, so he was hunchbacked. ”
The bearded man is gesturing behind his bald head in a good way, and it is indeed vivid:
"I heard that the crystals were growing in it, but this time he was injured and broke the sarcoma, and the crystals came out. ”
"Oh..."
"That's pretty much it..."
"Hmph, this is fate, born to have is to have, no is nothing, how can there be such a good thing as growing crystals. The little man at the beginning finished his teeth, stood up, and was about to leave.
"That's right, but if he doesn't go to be a soldier, he will only be a hunchback for the rest of his life, what is this called, this is called self-help Tianzhu. ”
The bearded man casually gave a positive conclusion, and everyone nodded yes.
Originally, the gossip was almost over.
But just as everyone was about to go back to their respective tables and what to do, someone suddenly pushed the door in, rushed straight to the left hall, and collided with the little man who was just leaving.
If you look closely, she is a thin woman with a scar on her face.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't see that. "The thin woman was plain-looking, not only with scars on her face, but also with unpleasant light brown skin.
The woman apologized absentmindedly, and the little man was even more unhappy when he heard it:
What do you mean by not seeing, what's wrong with being short?
was about to have a seizure, but saw the woman get up quickly, and said to the bearded man with an excited face:
"Lotham, that hunchbacked young master has signed up for the Royal Academy, let's see the excitement!"
"What?"
The bearded Lotham was really interested when he heard this: "Which branch did you report to?
"I signed up for the Academy of Magic, I sent my brother's precious son to sign up, and when I came over, I saw that he had just lined up, and he should still be waiting for the number to be called. ”
The little man was stunned when he heard this, and he forgot to ask the teacher for a while, so he simply didn't leave, and listened to the excitement with his ears pricked up.
"Let's go and take a look, so that you don't always say that Lao Tzu is bragging. ”
Lotem stood up as he spoke, and the dark fish-scale bust made a crisp "bang".
"Just go. ”
"This time, if you talk nonsense, I'll pay back Lao Tzu's wine money. ”
“...”
High in the sky, the sound of breaking the sky came from far and near, and the white clouds were suddenly pierced by a silver streamer.
If you look closely, it is a half-open silver umbrella swirling out of the white clouds, and the person behind the umbrella is wearing a silver-rimmed black robe, it is the Lord of Steel, Agu Castro.
Flying over the Mercenary Guild, Ogu floated down with an umbrella and stood on the hedron dome of the Mercenary Guild.
A crisp and pleasant voice came from the entrance of the rooftop, "Lord Castro, the President and Dean Gray have been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Glancing at the crowd that had squeezed out of the mercenary guild, Ogu turned around and shook his umbrella, and the silver umbrella instantly changed back to the shape of a staff.
A beautiful girl dressed in the uniform of the mercenary guild stood respectfully on the rooftop, maintaining a standard salute posture, waiting for his orders.
"Lead the way. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The girl whispered in agreement and turned away, leading Ogu into the living room on the rooftop.
The living room is the opposite of the magnificence of the hall, and it is as simple and low-key as the study of an ordinary and honest family.
It's just that the uneven wood grains on the wooden floor betray the master's exquisite mind.
After all, just hire a qualified wood mage, and an ordinary second-level magic can make the wooden floor only show one pattern.
This is clearly a handmade plank cut from a natural tree.
Not to mention the value of the wood itself, just transporting the wood into the city is a huge expense.
Ogu's eyes were like torches, and as soon as he entered the door, several "flaws" like the wooden floor forced into his eyes.
He snorted disapprovingly, sneering at the master's clumsy method of hollowing out his mind to show off his wealth.
"Hmph. ”
On a rattan rocking chair in the hall, there sat a fat white man with a shiny face.
Dressed in a plain cloth robe that was also "full of flaws", he blew his beard and said to Ogu: "I tell you, don't be too arrogant when you're late." ”
"Boom!"
Where did Ogu pay attention to this greasy fat man who had been dealing with him for decades, and let go of his hand lightly, and the silver staff seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, directly crushing the wooden floor.
"Ahh
The fat old man watched Agu's staff smash a big hole in the ground, and he jumped three feet high in distress, pointed at Agu's nose and scolded:
"Iron-struck! Do you know that this elm wood is only available in a few small coastal countries in the east! Where do you ask me to go up and repair it again these years?"
Ignoring it, Ogu picked up the staff and stabbed it on the ground again, making sure it was on its feet, and then slowly untied his robe, shook it, and hung it on the staff.
Diagonally opposite the fat old man was a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe.
As soon as Ogu stepped into the living room, he immediately got up to greet him, but he didn't rush to greet Ogu, just stood quietly in place, waiting for the fat old man to finish talking to Ogu first.
After it was confirmed that Ogu ignored the fat old man, the middle-aged man politely greeted Ogu: "Lord Lord, don't come unharmed." ”
Only then did Agu raise his eyes and look at the middle-aged man.
I saw that the man's skin was slightly dark, a Chinese face was angular, a pair of bright eyes were carved like a knife and an axe in the deep sunken eye sockets, and a striking strip of blue crystals occupied the position of the original right eyebrow.
"The Royal Academy is not for you. ”
Agu frowned slightly, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a beautiful crystal fall into the cesspool, and said to the middle-aged man in a deep voice:
"To be the dean... Not for you. ”
