Chapter 45: The First Miscellaneous Department Mission
Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on the things that Cordak and the others discussed with Annelot, it is nothing more than some specific negotiations on Annelot's commission distribution, strength evaluation, and the adjustment of the difficulty of the selection task after she joins.
In the end, everyone discussed and decided that Annelot would inherit Selenos's commission ratio, which was two and a half percent.
Although this ratio is very unfair to the strongest person in the entire squad, Anne Lot also made it clear that she joined the mercenary team purely for experience, and took the twenty and a half commission rights as reimbursement for spellcasting materials.
As for the choice of missions, although the team has joined a powerful newcomer like Annelot, considering that there is a sixth-level thief like Regner, Kordak still implicitly expressed his hope that he would not choose a task that is too difficult, so as not to expose his companions to excessive danger.
Anne Lott had no objection to this, she explained that she had lived with the teacher for many years, and had not experienced any life and death at all, and it was a good thing for her that the task was not too difficult now.
After discovering that this middle-level mage was so good at talking, the three of Kordak suddenly had a lot of good feelings for this cold and beautiful girl.
Speaking of which, in addition to her expressionless and cold tone, Annelot is still quite easy-going, except for talking more about Lenos, Annelot is almost a female version of Selenos, which makes the three people who have just lost Selenos feel kind.
"Then, welcome to our mercenary squad. Kordak held out his hand.
Anne Lott hesitated for a moment, then shook hands with the three of them in turn, and the three different palms gave her completely different feelings.
Koldak's hands were rough and large, Vera's hands were small and soft, and Regner's hands, although not very large, were unexpectedly rough, almost on par with Kordak, much to Annelot's surprise.
"Welcome, welcome. Holding Annelot's soft, white, slightly cold little hand, Regner couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.
"Annie, where are you going to live?" why don't you move in with us?" asked Vera, who was very fond of this beautiful and cold girl, and so she used a very affectionate title.
"I'm sorry, I have my own residence in Meteor City, and the environment here is a bit noisy, and I'm not used to it. Annelot did not complain in the slightest about Vera's title, but politely declined her invitation.
"Oh, forget it. Vera didn't care, she just said casually, after all, the people who live here are rude and savage warrior-type mercenaries, and the mage has really never seen it, not to mention that Anne Lot is still such a delicate beautiful girl?
"I'm sorry, because my teacher doesn't like to be disturbed, so I can't tell you my address, but you can contact me through this crystal. Inject a trace of fighting energy into here, and I will be able to sense your position. Annelot handed Kordak a dark green crystal.
It was a contact crystal, which Kordak and the others had seen in the high-end magic supply store for a long time, and although it was a good thing to use to determine the location and send signals, the price of five hundred gold coins made them despair. Unexpectedly, Anne Lot actually threw a piece directly to them, which made several poor mercenaries sigh again about the wealth of the mage.
Seeing that Kordak carefully took the contact crystal and carried it in her arms, Anne Lot also felt that everything had been done, and immediately got up to say goodbye.
"I didn't expect our team to attract such a powerful mage. Vera said, playing with the contact crystal.
"yes. Kordak glanced at Regner, who was obsessed with Annelot's face, and he vaguely felt that Annelot's joining had a certain relationship with Ragner and the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, but it was not broken, anyway, the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild would not harm them, and it was a good thing to have such a powerful help.
......
"Little Lei, I'm Solam, you should have returned to Meteor City. Tomorrow it's your turn, don't forget to report to the miscellaneous department. A shrill voice sounded in Regner's head, and Ragner realized that it had been almost twenty days since he last went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, and it seemed that tomorrow he would no longer be a mercenary, but a small errand in the weakest department of the largest thieves guild in the Eastern Continent......
After that, everyone discussed the matter of the duel of Kordak in three days, and finally saw Kordak patting his chest and promising that he would never lose, Vera and Regner put their hearts back to sleep.
......
The next night, Regner looked at the people below from the roof and couldn't help but yawn silently. Because it was already early winter, the cold wind blew his nasal passages blocked, and a few traces of crystal liquid couldn't stop flowing down.
This morning, Ragner got up early in the morning and ran to the chore, and then the fat man Solam, who was smiling warmly, arranged such a task for him. This is a commission to investigate an extramarital affair, and the object of investigation is Pierde, the son of the lord of Meteor City.
Although he has just come to Falling Star City, Pierde's name Regner has been heard of to some extent, and the main reason for this is because this Pierd is a complete gentleman, and his arrogance is well-known in Falling Star City.
As far as Regna knew, Pierde was forced by family pressure to marry the daughter of the president of the Pound Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Meteor City. The reason why it was because it was forced was because the woman Peird married was a combination of an ugly and a fierce woman, and seeing that the woman in the family couldn't make him interested at all, Peird, who was already accustomed to a luxurious and obscene life, naturally wanted to let his outdoor colorful flags flutter.
Now it seems that Pierd has achieved his goal, but the red flag in his house, which is not very good-looking, is unwilling.
Regner had been crouching in the tavern in front of the Falling Star Mansion since he received his mission in the morning, studying the instructions for the commission while waiting for Pierd to show up.
In the afternoon, the first and second ancestors of this Meteorite City finally appeared in the sight of the long-awaited Regner. He followed Peird's carriage across Meteor City to a residential area that wasn't very busy.
Once here, Pierde cocked his collar as if afraid that others would recognize him, and entered a nondescript residential house with his retinue.
Originally, Regner could probably go back to the business, after all, the request of the commission was to find out where the little vixen who had seduced Pierde lived.
But thinking of Solam's previous advice, Regner felt that the more detailed the investigation, the more reward he would get, so he gritted his teeth and jumped on the roof, opening a small gap in the skylight to observe for the night.
Although in the slums, Regner heard about sex between men and women from those vulgar vagabonds, but it was better to hear about it.
Having heard so many stories, Regner looked back on what it seemed to be the first time he had seen the real scene, and he was originally a little curious, a little expectant, and a little embarrassed to observe the most pleasant thing in this rumor. But after more than half an hour of cold wind, Ragner now just wants to scold at Pierde.
Because until now, Regner had only seen two of his retinue besides Peard.
The house was a small two-story building, and Regner could faintly see the three men through the skylight. But after half an hour of observation, Regner found that the three guys were not doing anything other than drinking tea and chatting.
The distance was too far for Regner to hear what the three were talking about, and the never-ending cold wind made Regner's scalp cloudy. He wanted to leave, but thinking of the glittering gold coin, Regner decided to venture into the house and take a look.
"At the very least, it's going to be much warmer inside. Regner thought.
The skylight corresponded to a hallway on the second floor, and Regner gently opened the skylight and jumped in. The warm air refreshed Ragner, and he leaned against the staircase of the hallway, hiding himself under the cover of shadows.
Without the interference of the howling cold wind, Regner was finally able to eavesdrop on their conversation clearly.
"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?" Although it was impossible to see who was speaking, Regner could tell from the arrogant tone that the person who spoke must be Peird.
"Please be patient for a while, the young master should be here soon. An attendant said.
"Well, I've given them as much as they wanted, but what have they said so far, if they dare to play any tricks......" Pilde said in a threatening tone.
"Tuk Tuk"
The knock on the door sounded in time, and Regner stuck out his head with some curiosity, to be honest, he was very curious about this woman who could fascinate a playboy like Pierde, what kind of peerless face could make this second ancestor wait patiently for more than half an hour just to be able to kiss Fangze? Could it be more beautiful than Anne Lot?
The door opened, and Regner was stunned when he saw someone coming, for it was not a peerless beauty at all, but a man.
