There weren't a lot of people in the hall, and many people weren't in a hurry because it wasn't the end of the semester yet.

Unfortunately, there are no large team missions in the mission hall at this time, so they can only choose a four-player mission. Quests are level 2, so each person will receive 20 contribution points and 2 credits.

This mission is to help Cille capture a half-orc fugitive named Rand. Rand is a half-orc with divisional strength, and because it is not known if he has an accomplice and powerful weapons, this mission is tentatively set as a second-level team mission.

Originally, Marianne's strength was that she could take on some third- and fourth-level tasks, but in order to take care of Mick, who was doing the task for the first time, she could only choose the second-level mission.

In the end, the guild decided that Mick, Foss, Marianne, and a girl named Sumel would carry out the mission.

The staff in the mission hall records the mission information and the students who performed the mission, and this is done.

After choosing the mission, Marianne took Mick to choose a weapon.

The forging department is in the south area of the academy, and because the academy is too big, the two of them have to take the steam locomotive in the academy to get there.

Mick was riding in this vehicle for the first time.

The interior of the car is very exquisite, if not to mention you would think you have entered a richly decorated room. And the places that Mick can touch are mostly soft.

"Oops!

Mick sat down in the soft seat.

"First time riding in a steam car?" asked Marianne.

Mick nodded.

"Does it cost money to make a steam car?" Mick asked.

"I don't need money, but I need to pay a contribution value, one contribution value per person. ”

Mick was stunned for a moment.

"So we're going to spend two contributions?" he asked, incredulous.

"Or what do you think?"

"We could only do 20 rides with the hard work we could do. ”

"Be content, if you are outside the academy, you will need a few silver coins. ”

Walked for about an hour in a steam car.

The two finally arrived at the forging department.

Due to the need for iron smelting all year round, the forging department is located in a relatively remote location, and the buildings are generally low. The most common type of building is a tall chimney.

Marianne led Mick into a weapons shop.

"Yo, Miss Marianne, do you want to buy any weapons?"

The owner of the shop recognized Marianne directly, and it seemed that she was a regular customer here.

"There's a new member in our guild, and I'll take him to pick a weapon. ”

Marianne then asked Mick to pick it up in the store.

There are a lot of weapons in the store, but Mick has been picking for a long time and still can't find the weapon he has been dreaming about.

The boss couldn't help but say when he saw that Mick hadn't found his favorite weapon after looking for so long.

"Young man, what weapon do you want, I'll help you find it. ”

"Boss, do you know the Chain Knife?" Mick asked tentatively.

"Scythe?"

"Oh, it's not a chain knife, it's just two medium-length knives, and then the tail of the knife is connected with a chain......" Mick described with all his might.

"Oh! I see. The boss interrupted Mick.

As he spoke, the boss rummaged under the counter and found something.

Finally, he took out a stack of drawings from under the counter.

The drawings are yellowed, the edges are torn, and they look very old.

The boss rummaged through the drawings.

Finally, he finally found the one he was looking for in this stack of drawings.

"Let's see if that's it. The boss handed the drawings to Mick.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Mikrian claims to be.

"It's rare, we don't have one here, but we can make one for you. ”

"Thank you so much. But our mission is in a week, so can we do it in a week?"

"No problem!"

As he spoke, the boss took out a notebook and wrote something on it.

"Are there any special requirements for the chain knife system?" asked the boss.

"No, just pay for it. ”

"What about the weight of the weapon?"

"Twenty-five pounds per knife. Mick thought for a moment and said.

"Then it will take a total of fifty pounds of iron. ”

"By the way, can the boss set the molten stone?"

"Is it the kind of rock that explodes when it collides?"

"That's right. ”

"The young man knows a lot, but that kind of thing is not to mention the Bright Academy, even the Bright Country is very rare. So don't say that you don't have it now, even if you have your contribution, I'm afraid you won't be able to change it in this life. ”

"Is molten stone so scarce?" Mick was puzzled.

In the past, Xia Yasu's knife was inlaid with molten stone, but he felt that although molten stone was also a rare material, it would not be so rare.

"Lava is not very rare, but basically all the molten stone mines are monopolized by the Cloud Peak Country, and basically do not export, I heard that all the lava is used by the Cloud Summit Country to arm their air forces. ”

That's true, according to Xi Yasu's understanding, many air units in the Cloud Peak Country are indeed equipped with molten stone weapons, because when fighting on the ground, as long as the molten stone is thrown on the ground, it will explode, which will cause great damage to the ground troops.

"That's it. "Since there is no molten stone, that's all there is to it.

"Okay! This weapon of yours costs 60 contribution points. ”

"60 contributions!Why is it so expensive!?"

Fifty catties of refined iron requires nearly 100 catties of iron ore, and the time of a week is relatively compact, which belongs to expedited manufacturing. The owner explained.

Mick looked at Marianne, whose face was a little embarrassed.

60 contribution value is indeed not a small amount, although she can pay it, but it is equivalent to this semester's tasks she has done in vain.

Marianne pondered for a moment before finally making up her mind.

"Buy!"

"You've got it figured!" Mick asked Marianne repeatedly.

"Ready!," Marianne said almost through gritted teeth.

With that, Marianne handed over her contribution to the boss.

The two then left the forging department.

On the steam car, Mick couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll quit the guild after I get the weapon?"

"Are you like that?" asked Marianne rhetorically.

"Of course I'm not, I'll definitely double the sixty contribution points to you. ”

"I don't need your contribution points, I want you to stay in the guild to study well and live well, if you can do this, I can give you whatever you want! ”

"You ......"

Marianne was suddenly so serious that Mick was a little confused for a moment.

"I know you boys don't join our guild for a simple purpose. ”

"Uh......." Mick was momentarily speechless.

"You don't have to quibble, it's been two years since I established this guild, and there are so many people coming and going. I've never seen anyone. Otherwise, tell me why you chose our guild. ”

"I ...... What else can I say if you say that? Say I'm here for you?"

Mick did go against his mind when he said this, because he did choose to join when he saw that the leader of the Dream Building Guild was a woman.

"It's still difficult for women to really have a place in this world, you don't know how difficult it was when I established this guild, so to speak, since the establishment of the Bright Academy, there are only two female presidents, one is me, and the other is the eldest princess. The common denominator is that I am the daughter of a duke, let alone the eldest princess. We need to use our status outside the house to stabilize our position within the house. ”

The eldest princess is the daughter of the king of the kingdom of light, and unlike the son of the lascivious Kruyer, the eldest princess has successfully reached the realm of the great master with her medical attainments, and has left a place among the ten strongest people in the kingdom. It's rare in this whole world.

It is precisely because many female doctors in her college have the motivation to work hard.

"But there aren't a lot of women in the academy right now. Mick asked.

"Yes, but women are still full of limitations as warriors, so we don't have a single warrior in our guild, they are all doctors, archers, and gunners, so whether it is to do tasks or deal with disputes between guilds, it is very disadvantageous. ”

That's right, although there are a lot of women on the battlefield now, they are still a drop in the bucket compared to men, and if there are no fighters at the front, then other professions will have no security. Therefore, there will be a certain difference between two different things, and the same is true for men and women, as long as they are different, there is no absolute equality, and this inequality is precisely the key to maintaining the operation, if men and women are really completely equal, then the society will be chaotic.

What caught Mick's attention, though, was the dispute between the guilds mentioned by Marianne.

"Strife between the guilds?"

"Yes, in fact, there are often some open and secret fights in the guild, some because of tasks, and some are completely personal grudges. ”

"So 'dark'?" Mick was a little puzzled, how could there be so much intrigue among the students.

"You haven't seen anything darker. ”

"By the way, what about Foss?" Mick suddenly remembered that there was a man in the guild.

"He, we all treat him like half a man. ”

"Hahaha, looking at his personality is indeed very ...... Euphemistic. ”

"So I really want you to stay, so that the strength of our guild will be greatly improved. And I'm two years away from graduating. I hope you'll lead the guild by then. ”

"Why me? Because I broke the record?"

"This is indeed a reason, because you are strong, you may think that breaking the record is nothing, but do you know who the previous record holders were? They are basically the top powerhouses in the kingdom now! Also, I feel that you are different from others, the Academy of Light is only your starting point, but it will never be your end. ”

Marianne's words made Mick feel that this girl was not ordinary, as if she had seen through her past and present lives.
