You reply that Annette is not up to the job of a secretary.

"Well, I think she's a good seedling, but since you said so......," Hathaway paused, "I've got a backup plan in place." ”

Annette didn't react much to your belittlement.

You add: Hathaway is the only one who can do the job as a secretary.

Hathaway didn't react to your affirmation. There was a slight increase in emotion, but now there was a little annoyance, no matter what, it didn't matter how Annette was to Hathaway.

The market manager was personally supervising the construction at the camp and was planning to return to town with the craftsmen. Hathaway greeted him and explained it like this.

"Welcome!" the market manager stretched out his hand to guide you, "the prize of about 20 gold, right, is it okay to have a low price but relatively novel? I have some clues, please come with me." ”

Through the teleportation array,

The group of you go back to the backyard of the Adventurer's Guild and enter another street through the back door to head to the market.

There was no one guarding this end of the teleportation array. Theoretically, it is enough to arrange mercenaries at only one end of the two ends, and there are many such teleportation arrays in the world, and the judgment conditions for their specific permissible passage are constantly maturing in practice. This condition cannot be hidden attributes such as evil camp and ill-intentioned, it must be more intuitive.

The use of teleportation arrays around the world to smuggle is extremely rare, because those who can tamper with the magic judgment conditions are already masters, and they will not do such things as smuggling, and people can directly teleport by themselves like "secret magic merchants" or high-level mages. It is easier to destroy than to smuggle and tamper with, so it is necessary for the curse slate in the dormitory on the ground to play a role in stability and protection.

If possible, it's a good idea to have some guards in the guild's backyard as well, just in case.

In the evening,

You come to a nondescript building on the edge of the market, where the market management department is located, and there are a dozen employees in it. Both the people and the things here are observing the truth that wealth is not exposed, and it is hard to imagine that they represent the most well-funded power in this town.

"Excuse me, can I ask a few instructors to take a look at my maids?"

"Of course. ”

Arranging Annette as a personal mercenary is probably the so-called backup plan, and Hathaway has no intention of letting Annette stay idle all the time. The market manager agrees to Hathaway's request, sends someone to take Annette next door, and takes you and Hathaway to the office.

Soon, there are four things on the table in front of you, all worth 20 gold.

A, light repeater. Shorter and lighter than usual, the case can store ten bolts, more than the usual five. The rate of fire is extremely fast, and the range and power are okay, but the accuracy still needs to be improved.

Due to its lightness and high burst output, it is suitable for all classes except the Archer, but can only be used as a secondary weapon.

B, Spell Transcription Kit. High-quality pen and ink, five blank scrolls, perpetual lampstones, clipboards, and other necessary materials for mages to learn new spells and craft magic scrolls.

C, +1 whetstone. The first five uses can temporarily equate a normal blade-type weapon to a magic weapon of +1, i.e. break through the physical immunity of certain monsters, and expire after about four to eight hours. After five uses, it is treated as a normal whetstone.

D, five strong acid arrows. Of course, each one can only be used once, and even if you pick it up, it is tantamount to a normal arrow.

"These are not expensive, but they are not easy to buy and are suitable as prizes full of sincerity. In many cases, money does not necessarily buy good things, and we also need channels, and we are happy to serve in this regard. ”

The market manager personally hands you a cup of tea.

"In the past, no matter what grievances your guild had with us, I hope to take the opportunity of the boss of the "Dragon Pavilion" to roll back to the countryside, and the good and bad will be written off, and everyone will start again. To be honest, I have high expectations for the camp cooperation, and I will "take it very seriously" to you. ”

With that, he hands you a list of several products.

"It is reported that both the Guards and the Council have provided your guild with a "trial service", and we can't afford to be left behind. You can pick one of the lists. "Without any further explanation, he seems to have treated you as a very capable businessman, and is not going to explain.

Hathaway came over in time to whisper an explanation.

1. One hundred bottles of therapeutic potions wholesale. The retail price is 4 gold, and the wholesale price is only 3 gold, and the flat sale at the counter in the guild hall can be sold out quickly. For adventurers, anyway, it is the same price to go to the market no matter which store, so it is better to buy nearby. The cost price should be around 2.5 gold, and the market is already quite profitable.

Try it for a week, earn it and count yours, and you can return it if it is unsalable.

2. The "Magic Missile Wand" looks like a small wooden stick, which can cast 5 missiles per shot, and a total of 50 rounds are stored. Comes with a forensic document for easy use by anyone other than a mage/warlock. The original price is 675 gold.

Try it for a week. If it has been used, it will be returned with a fee of 14 gold per shot.

3. "Nether Hammer", a metal baton-type melee weapon held in one hand, is equivalent to +1 in terms of power, but it will be effective when attacking all disembodied monsters, no matter how high the opponent's physical reduction is. The original price is 800 gold.

Try it for a week.

4. "Force Field Shield Ring", the weight of the ring, the protective effect of the heavy shield. Non-physical monsters that can block spit attacks, most spell attacks, and even walls, and are transparent so they can't block illusion effects or petrified vision. Its shape is the size of a heavy shield, invisible, weightless, and fairly hard, but not indestructible. If you take a lot of damage from hard weapons and spells in a short period of time, the ring will turn back into a normal iron ring.

Try it for a week, and if the magic effect of the ring is destroyed, you will have to pay the original price of 850 gold.

5. "Phaseless Chain Mail", light armor that can be disguised as ordinary clothing according to the wearer's password. The original price is 370 gold, and the trial is one week.

6. "Mercy Short Sword", according to the user's password, switches between the normal short sword and the +1 short sword, which can only deal non-lethal damage. The original price is 140 gold, and the trial is one week.

"Did you have that ring from the Arcane Merchant? The market manager stared at your hands and waist with a gentle smile as you looked down to read the list, "Is that a +1 dagger on your waist?"

You nodded.

"Have you done that?"

You're stunned.

Hathaway was even more surprised than the market manager, and her voice couldn't help but raise twice: "My God, dare to use it without appraisal? I thought Raomi told you very clearly, so there is no need to appraise it! What if it's a cursed item?"

...... Ha?

+1 is +1, and it can do anything other than be sharper.

The market manager said that he could identify it for free, and then after repeated careful observation, he frowned deeply, and then cast the identification magic, and finally buried his head in writing down the identification results on a piece of paper and handed them to you.

"Human Slayer: Wandering Calamity Shortsword" is normally equivalent to +1 magic weapon, and if the opponent is a human (sub-race is not counted), it is considered a +3 magic weapon.

Curse 1: If used by someone else, it will immediately suffer a curse of bad luck for up to eight hours. Except for recipients.

Curse 2: Even if you only hold it and don't use it, if you have weak luck, you will suffer the risk of a bizarre sudden death every half hour, if your luck is ordinary, you will suffer the temporary negative effect of luck -2 during the holding period, and if you have strong luck, it will be invalid.

Curse 3: Depending on the state of life, the Wandering Journey to the Settled Settlement can inflict a temporary negative effect of luck-2 aura type with a diameter of one kilometer to zero.

The original price was 1,800 gold, but because it contained a conditional curse, it depreciated greatly by jumping off the building, and selling it for 5 gold was considered a fraudulent business.

Hathaway's eyes widened when she saw it!

"Because it's contaminant, not a curse that comes with crafting the item, it will theoretically be lifted after a while. The market manager's eyes lit up, and his hands were half-covered in front of his mouth," ...... Actually, I'm curious how this thing came about, but I'd better bear with it, hmm. ”

......

You never knew you were carrying a cursed item all the time.

The market manager heard someone knocking on the door next door, and immediately said to you, "Change the subject, how many levels does the elder have?"

Hathaway replied angrily: "What rank does the leader who sits on the chair want to point fingers, and the identification crystal shows that he is level zero, equivalent to a civilian, a complete non-combatant. ”

"Huh!"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The three exclamations came from the market manager, the instructor who had just returned from next door, and Annette. In particular, the middle-aged burly instructor was the most shocked, and retorted with a wave of his hand:

"Impossible! The news that you killed a level 3 barbarian and a level 3 mage in the "Dragon Pavilion" has spread all over the market! What is a civilian? What is level zero? Isn't it holding a short sword? Even if you say that you are a level 1 warrior or a wanderer, I believe it!"

You scratch your head, and you don't know why everyone is so surprised. Warriors, Wanderers, and Priests are all classified according to the "adventurer's standard", which is basically universal throughout the world, but it is only a standard for evaluating the most common combat strength values, and the actual situation is often more complicated. For example, many of the clergy in the temple are not typical priests, and although they can use high-level divine arts, they lack practical combat qualities. Another example is Raumi, the witch cannot be included in the hierarchy of adventurers. Receptionists also have strong and weak strengths, but their strength is not used on the battlefield.

If the president also has a rank, you will probably be very high.

"No, I won't believe it!" the instructor pressed your hand against the identification crystal, and then knelt down on the spot in the face of the zero-level display. A few seconds later, he suddenly jumped up in euphoria as if he were full of blood, and shouted, "By the way, I know! You and this girl are both unpolished Baoyu, right?

...... What?

"Suppose a level 5 naked warrior and a warrior wearing tens of thousands of gold coins at the same level 5 compete, of course the combat effectiveness is different, right? Suppose a level 5 warrior who is brought out by other masters, and a level 5 warrior who has fought alone and bloodily through countless ghost gates, the combat effectiveness is of course different, right? The most common example, everyone in the adventurer squad is level 5, but often the captain will be stronger. Grades are just stereotyped data, and if you have to give an example – combatants are also classified as "inferior", "ordinary", "advanced", and "special", just like the goods sold in the market. ”

The instructor pointed to your nose and became more and more excited: "Come and try! You can't have no fighting talent, let's see it with our own eyes! I'm going to call all the instructors, wahahaha! I wonder if I can see two all-professional adaptors today!"

A few steps next door is a training ground.

Hathaway looked up at Annette who was standing on the sidelines, and confirmed, "He said two? Could it be that you are an all-class adaptor?"

"Yes, Miss Hathaway, the instructor just now judged that I have a high aptitude in all the basic adventurer classes. Annette said this without any change in her expression, and always maintained her usual polite smile.

Theoretically, the human race can be used as any class, as long as the stat value is enough. However, factors such as personality, talent, and dominant attributes lead to a gap between theory and practice. Being able to be and being suitable are two different things.

"And how do you ...... Haven't been trained yet?"

"Who knows?" Annette laughed and added in a low voice, "It's dangerous for us 'maids' to hold a letter opener, since we don't have a 'necklace' with us." ”

The Speaker's cousin took Annette as a trial merchandise for you for two reasons.

First, the goods are indeed very qualified, and they are best suited to attract you to repeat customers, which is the real point of trying out the goods, and second, Annette's combat qualifications are a bit too good, and it would be nice if the Speaker's cousin could keep them for himself, but apparently he didn't dare to use Annette...... Maybe the training was too ruthless before, and the resentment was a bit too much like the talent.

Hathaway leans sideways and looks at you in surprise: "You...... That's why you refused to let Annette be my assistant? ”

Of course!

...... Hey, isn't Hathaway jealous? She really should change her tone as if she was angry, but what else can you answer now than say, "This president knows everything like a god?"

The market manager also seems to be very interested in your combat qualifications, and gets up to lead you to the next door: "The first president is an S-class adventurer, very strong, and occasionally personally leads other adventurers to form a large team to carry out tasks; What will happen to the "Chimera"? I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it. I now have a little excitement to personally identify the unknown artifact of the Xenoplane, hahaha!"

What are you going to do?

1. Go to the training ground

2. There is no interest in fighting in person
