Chapter XVIII: A New Mission

Thick Earth City, in the Mercenary Association. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A large group of mercenaries crowded into the hall. Some are discussing some information, some are soliciting partners, some are working with other teams to carry out a large mission, and some are gathering at the task handover to hand over tasks or to pick up tasks, in short, they are doing something about the mission.

At this time, Leo, who had just returned from outside the city, walked in, still acting like an old mercenary. However, in fact, because Leo had just become a mercenary and was still a newcomer, he couldn't help but feel some nervousness and excitement. So, the face is a little stiff, like an ice cube face.

"Hello, I've done this task. ”

Leo walked over to the mission handover and took out his mercenary badge and the items for the mission.

"Well, I'm sorry, this task needs to be handed over to the client in person, you please wait, I'll go and inform the client now. ”

The staff at the handover told Leo that he needed to wait for the client to hand over the task items to the client so that the task could be completed. So, ask him to wait here.

"Hmm...... , the guy saw my words...... I guess I'll be surprised. ”

Leo made it to a nearby chair and waited quietly for the client, the city lord who had been knocked unconscious by him.......

"Biggs collected the mission you did, right? ”

Soon, Leo came in with a stiff look. So, some people can see that Leo is a newcomer. And newcomers are often bullied by older people. Why? It's ...... simple. Because, they are newcomers, newcomers with the least status. And among the older people, there will definitely be some people who have little status. Because they are looked down upon by others, even if they don't say it on the surface, they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Over time, some people will definitely be a little aggressive, and may use bullying newcomers as their own means of venting. In that case, you may be able to consider yourself superior. Actually, it doesn't do anything, it just makes them look ...... It's just more humble.

So, among the mercenaries, a rogue who often snatched the mission items of low-level mercenaries in order to complete the tasks accepted by those mercenaries walked up to Leo and stretched out his hand.

Dressed in leather armor commonly used by mercenaries and with a sword tied around his waist, from Leo's current point of view, he is probably only a swordsman of the fifth order. And there is no such pride as a so-called professional, only this kind of hooligan-like temperament.

"Is he just a hooligan...... Forget it, there's no need to worry about him. ”

After glancing at him, Leo ignored him and continued to sit quietly, not listening to him in the slightest.

Seeing Leo's performance like this, coupled with the fact that he is also famous around him, although it is only some bad fame, but, in his opinion, this is a symbol of his status, and now he is being ignored by a newcomer, he must be very angry.

And the people in the hall saw that this hooligan didn't scare the newcomer this time, and they felt that there should be a lot of excitement to see. So, they all faced Leo's side, and gradually began to gather around and discuss.

When this rascal saw Leo like this, the people around him were still discussing him and pointing fingers at him. Suddenly, he felt that he had lost face. So, when he got angry and pointed at Leo, it was a stinking curse.

"You stinky boy, give you a little bit of face and you're still arrogant. If you have a kind, you will come out and fight me alone. ”

"You stinky boy with a damn father, why don't you dare to speak?"

“……。 ”

From his mouth, a bunch of unpleasant words, like a flood, flooded Leo.

Although I heard some of his words in my heart, I was very angry, and even wanted to do it. However, Leo still endured it, he didn't want to quarrel with this kind of person, he hated this kind of person, and even Leo felt uncomfortable talking to this kind of person. So Leo turned his head and looked elsewhere.

"You...... You're kidding me!"

He finally seemed to be unable to stand Leo's ignoring him, or rather, he couldn't stand the look of the people around him. His anger was now at its peak, and he seemed to have lost his mind and began to be hysterical.

Originally, he had a little sanity, but the voices of the people around him, their pointing and pointing, made him even more angry. Perhaps, he lost his mind, and it was the fault of these people who watched them hilarious.

So, at this moment, he really lost his mind, forgot the rules that he was not allowed to fight in the mercenary association, and directly pulled out the sword at his waist here and slashed at Leo.

It's a pity that Leo's strength was miscalculated, and Leo was not afraid of him. After all, he was now considered a professional close to the Holy Rank, so how could he be afraid of him, a Fifth Order professional?

Therefore, he just used one hand, still sitting on the spot, and directly caught the sword he had chopped.

"How...... How could it be, I actually caught it empty-handed. ”

He looked at Leo in shock, who was still sitting in his seat, catching the sword he had slashed with his hand, it was a sword he was angry with. Perhaps, it was still the sword he had slashed with the most powerful force he had now. He didn't expect that there was such a newcomer in front of him, who might have the strength to match or surpass him.

"Hmph, you must have used some magic props, you have the ability, don't use it. ”

Although, he knows, Leo may not be your average newcomer. However, now under the gaze of everyone, he has been difficult to ride a tiger, but he still holds on and continues to use provocative language.

"Really, in that case, I'll help you. ”

Although Leo hates him, he hates these people watching around him even more, and it is better to end this matter sooner rather than let them continue to watch the show.

"Bell ......!"

So, Leo flipped it with his hand, and directly broke his sword, which was not very strong.

After he saw Leo break the sword, he just stared blankly at the broken sword in his hand. He had thought that Leo was not your average newcomer. However, he seems to be thinking wrong, thinking too wrong, how can a person who can break a sword with his bare hands be a newcomer?

Then, after thinking that he might have offended someone he couldn't afford to mess with, he let out an exclamation and immediately ran out of the mercenary association in fright.

After that, there was silence, and the people in the hall who saw this scene were silent and speechless, so shocked. And the party, Leo still waited quietly like that, without any feeling. However, everyone around was almost stunned by Leo's actions, and their faces were all stunned.

"If this person can join our mercenary group......"

For some mercenary groups, it must be a good thing to have some powerful people to join.

Therefore, not far away, a mercenary sitting at the table noticed Leo, and after seeing a few mercenary groups of the same level around him who were a little eager to try, he hurried to collect Leo's information. When the mercenaries of the other mercenary groups saw him collecting Leo's information, they were not to be outdone, and they also went to inquire about Leo's information.

Finally, after Leo waited for a long time, the person who handed over the mission, that is, the city lord Og who was defeated by Leo, came.

"Whoever completed the task of Biggs gathering, come out quickly. ”

Auger ran directly into the mercenary association, and in the hall, he shouted in a loud voice, and his loud voice directly startled the entire mercenary association temporarily.

"What, it turned out to be the city lord, this voice is really loud. ”

"Hey, don't you know? ”

"Alas...... I haven't heard of it, and I haven't seen the lord himself a few times. ”

"Oh, that's right. However, how do I feel that the city lord seems to be in a special hurry today, and I don't know what happened?"

"I want to know, too, but how can we know about it like these low-level mercenaries?"

"You're right, let's be honest and do our thing, and leave these things that have nothing to do with us. ”

"Well, I agree. ”

The people in the hall seemed to be quite comfortable with this phenomenon, but there was no panic.

"The Biggs you want is here. ”

Leo held up the Biggs he was holding so he could see it.

"Oh, thank you...... What's ............ How are you?"

Ogg walked over, but he realized that the person in front of him was not the ordinary mercenary he had imagined. Rather, the kid who was quite strong enough to knock him out. Seeing that he was now holding Biggs's waving hand, he recalled the experience of being knocked unconscious by Leo's fist at that time, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Hey...... Don't you want this?

Leo shook Biggs in his hand in the direction of Og Station.

"Oh, it's the reward for the mission, you take it. ”

After all, not long after the fight with Leo, his body was not as fast as Leo's. If Leo had made a move now, he wouldn't have the power to fight back. As a result, now Og can only be polite.

"So, I'm leaving. ”

Leo didn't have any thoughts of fighting him, and the previous one wasn't what he wanted to fight, and it wasn't the city lord who wanted to fight...... , he was just defending himself.

"It feels like the pay is good. ”

I took the reward in my hand and weighed it, and it felt like a lot. However, for Leo, who wants to go to the Demon Martial Academy, this is not enough. So, Leo prepares to go to the window again to see what else he can do.

"Hmm...... this guy has just completed a mission, and he still goes to take the task, does this guy need some high-level tasks? In that case...... I don't know...... Can you accept it? ”

Augur thought of something, but he was still a little hesitant and didn't make up his mind.

"Hmm...... That's it. ”

Leo was ready to take on a new assignment at this time, and just as the people at the junction were confirming, Og rushed over and pulled Leo aside.

"Whew, it's dangerous...... ”

Ogur wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey...... What do you mean?"

Leo was a little puzzled, why did he pull himself over, he should know that he couldn't beat himself, did he still want to fight? Thinking of this, Leo was ready to fight.

"Slow, don't be nervous, I have no intention of fighting, I have a task here that matches your strength, and the reward is higher than the task you can receive now, do you want to go next." ”

Seeing that Leo was ready to fight, Og suddenly became nervous and quickly explained why he was looking for him. Originally, he was still hesitating, but he was frightened by Leo's current appearance, so he said it.

"What mission? I wouldn't accept a mission when I didn't know what it was about. ”

Leo heard that he wasn't looking for himself to fight, so he gave up the idea of fighting, ready to listen to what he wanted to say first, and if it was a well-paid task, he could still accept it.

"Oh, that's right...... So...... Can we find a place where no one is around? ”

So, Augur had no choice but to make a decision.

“…… OK. ”

Leo thought about it for a while, but decided to follow Og, he was not his opponent anyway, so what could he do if he followed.

In the Rock Restaurant, in a VIP private room, Leo sat opposite Ogg, with all kinds of meals on the table and several bottles of wine. Leo frowned, looked at Og, who was solving the feast in front of him, and asked.

"Bring me to this kind of place, what kind of mission are you talking about?

"Don't worry, let's eat first. I'll explain it well after I've eaten my fill. ”

Auge was unhurried to fill Leo's glass with wine and shoved a pile of food in front of Leo.

"That task of yours must be something difficult to talk about, otherwise, how could you be so enthusiastic about someone you don't know very well?"

After analyzing the current situation a little, Leo directly broke it.

"Alas...... , I didn't expect that you are not only powerful in strength, but also not in terms of wisdom. Well, here's how it ....... ”

After being denied by Leo, he was a little embarrassed to continue to delay the time, and directly said the content of the task.

"In other words, you want me to escort your daughter to the Demon Martial Arts Academy in the Holy City?

Leo thought for a moment, and asked the question he didn't understand the most.

"Didn't I say that? You're so good and you have a good brain. Of course, the most ...... The main thing is that you are a good-looking guy who can help my daughter block some people. ”

Of course, the latter sentence, Augur said in a very small voice.

That's right, Leo's appearance can indeed be said to be very good, and it can even be said that he is very handsome. At the very least, Leo looked like a noble kid.

"In other words, am I a shield and bodyguard?"

Leo has finally figured out what he wants to do himself, is it to be his daughter's shield?

"That's right. ”

Ogy agreed with Leo, and he was right.

"What's the specific pay?"

However, Leo doesn't mind very much, as long as the reward satisfies him, it's still acceptable to let him be a shield.

"Is it paid? yes...... Oh, yes, wait a minute. ”

As if he had suddenly remembered something, Ogo called Leo to wait in the restaurant for a while, and then hurried out of the VIP room.

Not long after, he hurried in with what looked like an egg.

"That's your reward. ”

He lifted the black cloth that wrapped the thing, revealing its true colors. It's an egg with a mysterious pattern, and I don't know the grade.

"What's this? That's what I'm paid?"

Leo pointed to the egg and looked at Og with some confusion.

"Yes, don't look at it like this, although it's weird, but it's an egg that has been identified by the appraiser as at least a sixth-order egg, isn't this kind of thing enough as your reward?"

"Then why don't you?"

"Uh...... , this, don't tell anyone after I say it. ”

Og was embarrassed to pull Leo over and whispered to Leo in the corner of the room.

"Yes. ”

Leo nodded in agreement.

"This is actually an egg that takes a lot of time and effort to hatch it. And I'm a very impatient person, and I can't stand it when I spend so much time doing one thing. And I don't want to spend so much time incubating it. ”

"Then why don't you give it to your daughter?"

Leo wondered, since this egg needed time, why not incubate it for his daughter? Anyway, this kind of time-consuming thing was best left to a young man who was not short of time.

"Actually, this egg is not the best choice for my daughter, so I have been storing this egg in the warehouse. How's that, accept?"

Leo thought for a moment, ready to say no. Suddenly, Leo seemed to feel that the egg seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to Leo, which made Leo very curious and couldn't refuse, and unintentionally, agreed.

"Yes? You accepted it...... , that feeling is good, great. Now, this egg is yours now. The mission will start tomorrow, no problem, right?"

After Leo agreed, he was very excited to stuff the egg into Leo's arms, and gave Leo the reward.

"By the way, you want to escort your daughter, but I don't know who your daughter is, how should I escort this?"

Leo stops the excited Og and asks him to solve the biggest problem of the moment, Leo doesn't know his daughter.

"Oh, yes, why don't you come to my house today. I'll introduce her to you, how about it?"

Ogur quieted down, and after thinking for a while, he was ready to take Leo back to his house.

"I'm fine, but can you do it at home?"

Leo didn't care, but he was a little concerned if the people in the Og family would disagree.

"Hmph, I'm the lord of the city here, or the head of my family, how can they disagree?"

Og confidently patted his chest and reassured.

Leo saw that he was full of confidence, and he didn't talk about him anymore. After the two of them had settled all the food on the table, they left the place after they had eaten and drunk enough.
