Two rays of light are disintegrated and applied to the "Witch's Sigh" and "Angry Hooves" squads, leaving one in case they need it.

At dusk, you decide to head to the Westside.

Using the teleportation circle, you and Hathaway teleport from the laid-back, noisy labyrinthine town to the quiet and quiet military fortress of Wisteria Ghost Ridge, and walk straight to the adventurer's guild within the walls. No more soldiers talked to the clergy in the places they passed, and some even deliberately avoided them. Because it is far from the battlefield, it is mainly responsible for important tasks such as logistics and baggage, and as the number of Kingdom Army continues to rise, the pressure of supply work is also rising, and no soldiers are chatting in a daze.

Evening is not a good time for a formal visit, and even those powerful people who despise you in the first place will not rush to come to you in the evening.

When you enter the branch, one of the Changelings is touching up her makeup with a mirror, while the other two are laughing sharply at each other and throwing cherry feeds. With a sudden hiccups, the speed of light of the hand mirror swished into the counter, and the three life-changing maids suddenly stood up in unison, their bodies straight!

Hathaway wiped away the other party's crooked eyeshadow with her thumb, and picked the cherry out of the collar of the other person: "The president is not here to check the post." ”

The third daughter breathed a sigh of relief. "yes, it's too hot, it's even more boring. ”

Staring at the thin droplets of water on the cherry, Hathaway frowned and threw it back. Recently, the temperature has been directly proportional to the smell of gunpowder brewing secretly, getting closer and closer to the unique high temperature summer in the south of the kingdom, and it will last for at least one or two months every year, if it is an ancient city, Wisteria Ghost Ridge is estimated to be in a tolerable range, but Wuxiang Bay will become a nightmarish hot hell, and the west border is adjacent to the sand country, the climate is special, and it will be very hot.

The hottest period is expected to begin soon.

Is it hot?

I've never heard of demigods being afraid of the heat and cold in their normal range, and you won't even feel any change in temperature. But for Hathaway, one minute it was still in the cool labyrinth town, and the next minute it was running to the mountain where the sun had been scorching all day, and the temperature difference was too great.

Maybe it's because of the jade leaf crown, the three maids pretended to be bold and came over to you to be coquettish: "Lord, it's too hot here, we can't adapt to it, can you transfer us back?"

"Knowing your hard work, the guild will also reissue you according to the average of the heatstroke prevention and cooling allowance that Viscount Bolts has given you in the past three years. ”

When the three girls heard this, they immediately fell silent. If you can endure hardships and stand hard work, you are not a change of life. No evil creature can be simply driven. In the past, escaping could still be their last resort, but since the love union has formed an alliance with you, well, dreaming, and changing 10,000 faces can also be caught.

"What about Scorching Night?"

"Go out to work - collect commissions and intelligence, contact nearby villages and towns, and generals, search and eliminate bandits and undead in the surrounding area, and expand propaganda. ”

"All in one?"

"We don't think so, but the branch elders are very cautious and always say that the situation in the west is unstable and unstable, and we must prevent emergencies at any time. In fact, at least when visiting other forces, it's not so dangerous for the six soldiers to split into two ways, what's the efficiency. The people are the bosses, we are the receptionists, don't say anything. ”

While Hathaway is interrogating the Changelings, you rummage through the information on the counter. There were five commissions received during this time, all of which were E and D missions such as destroying goblins, robbers, or skeletons, and there were no other notable registrations. Only......

Four new squads of adventurers, sign up.

Then he withdrew immediately.

It's like a dragonfly dotting water.

So far, there is not even a new adventurer in the branch guild, and all the tasks are done by "Scorching Night" himself.

Just as you were about to ask the adventurers why they had just signed up and quit the club, the empty hall walked into the empty hall with a man dressed as a mage, with a long flowing beard and a little older.

When he saw you, he immediately smiled: "Honorable Viscount, it's really a blessing to see you!

"I am one of the members of Heraran. Do you want to take me back?" he smiled and gestured with his hands inviting you to put a shackle on him.

"It's really a weak country without diplomacy. We, Heraran, have been exploited by you, crusaded against them, provoked by provocations, suppressed and suppressed, and it seems that there is only one way left for those who follow you to prosper and those who oppose you to perish, and it is futile to resist and escape. Heralan's former glory was comparable to a bubble. Now I've delivered it myself, and then what?"

"Do nothing?"

He stood in the middle of the hall with his arms crossed, chuckling to himself.

There should have been an option here, but ......

If you talk about arresting him, even if you are a nobleman, you have to be charged with arresting someone; if you say attacking him, he doesn't do anything specific to you, and if you say a few sour words, you will be killed, and there will be no few people left in the kingdom to gasp; if you talk about wooing him, he obviously doesn't have a good impression of you; if you talk about driving him away, although the adventurer's guild hall is not as good as the square, it is also a semi-public area.

With that sentence, "A weak country is nothing," you are qualified enough to report to the law enforcement team for treason. It was rumored that Hera had no one in his eyes and planned to establish an independent state, and sure enough, this was indeed the case. They deserve to be destroyed. ”

"No matter how much the secretary slanders, Heralan doesn't exist for a long time anyway. ”

"You want to register as an adventurer?"

"Of course not. ”

Hathaway asked again, "You want to submit a commission?"

"Am I crazy?"

"Just clench your knees and leave here in a rounded position. ”

The mage shrugged with a hippie smile, didn't care, turned his back and waved at you, and walked away leisurely. Thinking back to what he just said, it seems that there is no substance, provocation, not counting, negotiation, not the slightest suggestion. In short, there is the whereabouts of another mage Heraran. But...... Why is he here?

You point in the direction of the doorway, looking at Hathaway.

Hathaway sighed.

"I've been to the guild a few times to check on the work. This is not the first time this man has come, but it is the first time he has bumped into him. He, twice a day, specializes in poaching our new adventurers. ”

Cut the ground from under somebody's feet!?

Where's the digging? Wasn't Heralan destroyed?

Pointing in the direction to the side, Hathaway said, "Other adventurers' guilds." Although our family is the most powerful in the kingdom, it is not the only one, and other people's guilds are not in the climate. Also within the walls of this military fortress, and also in Wisteria Ghost Ridge, we are not far away from the side of a branch guild of another guild is about to open. Before it opens, poach people first. ”

"That guild is in the East. Originally, the eastern realm was rich and stable, although that guild was not as good as ours, the business was not bad, since the destruction of the Duke...... And then lately the eastern border has been in chaos. ”

"It's not easy for you to get the right to have a chapter, but it's a lot easier for someone else to get a ride. You held a branch in Wisteria Ghost Ridge, and that family also found a relationship and found a way to open it, and it was next to us. ”

I don't know how the Council of Rulers approved it, but the intent is a little more obvious - your energy is getting bigger and harder to control, and some people at the top want to cultivate other guilds to replace you. It's best to be able to replace it, and if you can't replace it, it's not bad to curb your continued development, so why don't they accept a bribe to approve another adventurer's guild to open next to you?

This mage is a partner of the guild leader, not the guild leader himself.

"Miss Secretary, it's shameful that the new adventurer has been poached in front of our eyes. Can't we also pay them the basic salary?"

"What are you kidding? we're a far cry from the nature of mercenary organizations, and mercenaries are paid low salaries only ......" Hathaway suddenly stared back at you, "No!

You haven't said anything yet.

As if she was afraid that you would think about low salary, Hathaway suddenly became emotional, grabbed your collar and raised her voice and shouted: "Since the first generation opened the Adventurer's Guild, we have been the only successful guild, and the rest of the chaos has never been surpassed as much as possible." Many of the rules were reached by the first generation and his companions after racking their brains and overcoming thorns, and they didn't just open their mouths!"

"The housekeeper dog can be fed a basic salary, and in the event of a war, the dog will still fight bravely to kill the enemy, and people have the cultural heritage of comrades-in-arms who are friends of life and death, and they will not be easily frustrated and scattered. But the falcon must not be fed a basic salary, and it is too lazy to hunt when it is full, and when it encounters danger, if the eagle also fights bravely to kill the enemy and does not know how to escape, and grows white wings, what is the difference between raising a dog and raising a dog? Raising a dog and raising a falcon are two forces in many ways!"

？？

What did Hathaway suddenly get excited about? The basic salary is such an important thing?

The creeps thought you were arguing, and they muttered that it was time to close the door, and they found a reason to avoid it. For a moment, it was only you and Hathaway left in the hall.

She stared at the crown of jade leaves on top of your head, and suddenly said, "Honorable President, I have a reluctant request. ”

"Now that Lord Shanting's health is recovering, our relationship with Cloud Splitting City is becoming clearer, and most of us can see the future direction. In fact, no matter what the outcome of this war with the Saudis is, it can be a good thing for a neutral and valuable identity like yours. That's what it is, probably. After a pause, Hathaway continued, "I'm very serious about asking you to think about it, and don't continue to search for the Original. ”

"Little Kyle has made a comeback, Lord Shanting has gained new strength, and the guild is in full swing and has a bright future. I know I originally wanted you to find and resurrect the first generation, but now I feel ......"

“...... It is also commendable to accept it when it is good. There is one thing to do. ”

"Sometimes I wonder if little Kyle had been like this, he wouldn't have been tortured by Bolts and Blood Barnacles, and Lord Shanting is now living in hunger and pain. Perhaps it would be wise not to resurrect the first generation and let this matter pass like this. ”

She takes off her glasses and stares deep into your pupils.

How are you going to answer?

A, then it won't be saved

B, rejection

C, the silence that makes each other uncomfortable, this kind of thing does not seem to be a matter of right or wrong.
