You asked Hathaway to stay, and this time there was no need for excuses.

"Everything is as you wish, honorable ...... Dear President, you deserve it all for your performance today. Lie down and I'll take care of the rest. She sits on the edge of your bed and gently pushes you down with both hands, her cheeks crimson, "So, second wish, how are you going to play?"

You waved your hand again and again, and your second wish was not intended to be wasted on such a thing.

The level 17 otaku mage in the labyrinth camp should be able to use the level 9 "Prayer Technique", right? Your second wish is that Hathaway will ask the otaku mage to intervene to weaken Raommi's curse of doom, or weaken the curse of fatigue.

"There are no problems, I can guarantee that he will definitely agree, and there will be no 2,500 gold casting material fees. However, whether he is willing and whether he can do it are two different things. Let's go find him tomorrow and give it a try. ”

There was a hint of disobedience in Hathaway's sweet and emotional smile. It's not that she's unhappy, but she's too happy, even if she brings down the three spokesmen of the forces in one go...... A normal woman who is about to do something, in your bed, but hears the name of another woman, must be instantly extinguished, right?But Hathaway didn't, her emotions were still high, as if she didn't realize that she should be jealous at this moment, or...... You don't have to eat at all.

Hawkers, forget it,

It's a good thing not to be jealous anyway,

But it's not a good thing to be separated from your work – she kisses you and talks to you about the next town with anticipation, no choice at all!

"Cloud Splitting City" is located on top of a mountain, and the town has been built from the foot of the mountain to higher than the peak, because it looks like a sharp giant sword splitting the clouds in two, hence the name. The forces in the town, the Council and the Temple work closely together, and the power is extremely large, but the other two are relatively weak.

Because of the inconvenient inland logistics, the market has been sluggish for many years, and the spokesperson of the power has died one by one, and over time, the black street that should have been hiding behind the market stood in front of the stage. The guards are also much weaker than here, mainly for two reasons: first, the paladin group directly under the temple has taken over some of the responsibilities of the guards, and second, there is a military castle with 2,000 regular elite soldiers stationed not far from "Cloud Splitting City", so the guards have also lost another duty, and only the daily security is left.

"Cloud Splitting City" is a situation in which the council is dominant but steady, and the black street and the guards are not in harmony for a hundred years.

On the other hand

Perched on a seaside cliff, the town winds its way to the long coastline below, and was originally named after the five small alleys that stretched out below. The forces in the town, the market and the black street work closely together, and the power is extremely large, but the other two are relatively weak.

Because of the outrageous problems of sub-races, piracy, smuggling, etc., the spokesmen of the guard have been unable to carry out law and order work normally. Nine out of 10 officials of all sizes in the council have either actively or coerced to take bribes, becoming puppets at the mercy of the market, and corruption is rampant.

"Five Lanes Bay" is a situation where the market is dominant and rampant, and the guards and council offices are weak and incompetent.

The situation in the next town is even harsher than this one, which is actually not a real problem, but the real tricky thing is that these two towns have not had an adventurer's guild for more than ten years, and for different reasons, they both regard adventurers as a troublesome existence, and there is no suitable soil for adventurers to grow.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you had first become the guild leader in these two towns, you would have died. By no means a place for newbies to go. You'll need to take on new challenges with a lot of resources and a team.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Marquis to help again, because "Cloud Splitting City" and "Five Alleys Bay" each have one of his grandchildren living in it. Legend has it that the Marquis's education of his grandchildren is almost no different from the harsh exercise of a tiger throwing his children off a cliff, and if you join forces with his grandchildren, the Marquis will not help, and if you are hostile to his grandchildren, he will not help.

"I'm looking forward to it. Hathaway said as she moved, "The third president is in Cloud Splitting City, and I thought I'd never see her again." The second president once told me that he had buried a huge treasure in the "Five Alleys Bay" that was enough to buy several towns, and the treasure hunt felt like an adventurer?"

Ever since she walked out of the courtroom, Hathaway's mood had been overly good. In such a situation, can you get down to business seriously?

It seems that you,

Have to

A little ruthless, so that she has no energy left to continue talking.

·

The next morning, you sit up, stretch, feel refreshed, and in excellent condition. Looking out the window, it seems that it has just dawned.

You look down and stroke Hathaway's hair......

it!

It's the first time you've gotten up earlier than anyone else you're sleeping! It's not that you wake up early, it's that Hathaway can't get up.

"Oops! I overslept! It's the beginning of the week, and it's the day to go to the council hall to review it!" Hathaway exclaimed as she woke up with her hair unkempt and staring out the window.

She reached out in a panic and grabbed the glasses on the bedside, picked up her clothes, and ran to her room while jumping on one leg, while not forgetting to point at your anger and say, "Bastard, don't you know the severity of your attack at all!

The sound of clattering footsteps in the hallway faded away, but Elizabeth's giggling grew closer.

Elizabeth walked into the bedroom with a basin of warm water and a towel, and began to wipe your face as if it were a matter of course. Annette folded her arms over her chest and leaned against the bedroom door, her face cloudy, as if she had lost something.

You gently push the towel away and ask, "What kind of routine is this?"

"Huh, don't you like to be served like this? I'm sorry. Elizabeth was surprised, and after half a second, she smiled sneering, "But, I just like you and don't like it." "And then completely ignoring the objections, he wipes your whole body. It's clear that she's happy with your resistance, and her smile is even more distorted.

You are helplessly fiddling with her, mentioning the execution of the Speaker's cousin at noon today.

"His team of slave hunters originally started out capturing and training subhumans, but as they became more experienced, they began to expand into other related fields - capturing humans, capturing monsters, summoning monsters. Later, in order to adapt to the new laws of the kingdom, they tried to dabble in the curse profession in order to replace the collar. Elizabeth snorted deftly with one finger as she turned the towel, "How could that half-toned curse work for me, and how could my acting skills, which I pretend to have been completely obedient, not work." ”

"We shapeshifters belong to the Evil Order camp after all. The Speaker's cousin is both evil and powerful, and I can't escape, and I don't really want to escape, especially after I am determined to kill him, in fact, it is the same whether I wear a collar or not. Don't forget, we have mind reading. Elizabeth knocks her finger on the door of your head, and suddenly laughs, as if she is very happy to read something in your mind.

You're right. Staying evil, keeping a strong leader will keep me longer, and if I do something boring, not like a good leader, I'll disappear in ten days—Elizabeth turned and left a message. It seems that she is also in a good mood. It's just that her happiness seems to be all based on embarrassing you.

After Annette waited for Elizabeth to leave, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and said to you earnestly: "Rest assured, Lord, I will always be loyal to you, unlike that guy!"

·

In the Adventurer's Guild Hall, Fieldin and Adele are preparing to start a new day's work, the former sorting out the orders that are temporarily held on the counter, and the latter tiptoeing to reach out and post the usual tasks and appointments on the bulletin board. Julianne seemed a little tired, leaning back in her chair and closing her eyes, but she was actually the most tired clerk during the rat-man plague.

The Marquis is gone,

The daily is back.

You ask Annette next to you, where are the refugees and guards in the hall?

Annette bowed slightly, and replied, "Last night, they made do with the last night in the hall, and they all left this morning. So the guards also left. Most of the refugees' homes will be repaired today, and others plan to go back first, which is not as good as their own homes. The two scheming guys who had mixed in with the refugees were all eliminated. ”

Last night

The guy Annette thought was familiar with him quietly pried open the door to the guild and tried to give some kind of hint to the slave collar while Harpy was asleep, causing her to go berserk and attack any living creatures around her, before Linda was hanged. Another guy who was slightly expensively dressed also snuck into the basement in the middle of the night. It is unknown whether he planned to assassinate Laumi or steal the potion, but Elizabeth killed him before he could do anything - because Hathaway was afraid that Elizabeth would take advantage of her absence to peek at the work log, so she bombarded Raumi's room. The man happened to fall into Elizabeth's hands in the darkness.

"Two corpses, one of the heads went into Elizabeth's belly, and the rest ......" Annette looked back in Harpy's direction, "You don't have to feed the birds this morning." ”

"Did Sister Selve, the Inquisition, really say that?" Fieltin interjected. Both she and Adele stared at Annette expectantly.

Anne nodded, raised her right hand high, and said in Hathaway's tone, "I see who dares! As long as I'm alive, no one will want to touch half of the guild!" At that moment, Gao Leng vanished, and only blood remained.

Usually Hathaway is not this kind of image, to be honest, all the girls are afraid of Hathaway, and now they are really going to laugh to death.

belch

Fieldine suddenly put away her smile and quickly ducked under the counter, Julianne jumped up from her chair and leaned her back against the wall, and Adele shook her whole body and nearly fell off her chair. Their reaction made Annette laugh even more, and asked, "What are you doing, it's like Heather ......"

Dumbfounded,

Annette stands up.

At some point, Hathaway had finished freshening up at high speed, stood at the back of the hall, and glared at Annette. Murderous aura filled the spacious hall.

Elizabeth, who had captured the shocking murderous intent, ran out quickly, asked what was wrong, and later found that it was just Hathaway sulking, and then muttered ahh

"Whatever day we talk, we pretend to be busy. Hathaway walked slowly towards you, gently holding your arm, "President, we're going to be late, aren't we?"

Ten minutes later,

Hathaway covered her face with her hands in agony, and muttered to herself in a mosquito-like voice—"Black history, black history. In the courtroom, Hathaway was so excited that she was now eager to find a crack in the ground. Maybe she wasn't really angry, she was just too ashamed.

"It's hard to drink. ”

She drank all the elixir that Raomi had refined to increase the defense of the conspiracy.

This morning, Raumi finally finished refining the secret elixir and handed it over to Hathaway before you left the door. As for when Raumi secretly absorbed your mana, or why this secret medicine was so hard to swallow, Hathaway didn't care. She only cares,

Guilds can get stronger and stronger.

Strange, if you're not mistaken, refining the medicine should take 7 days, why did it advance by a day?

The last time you came to the council chamber for the initial week review, it was overcrowded and the whole process dragged on. But today, not only were there not many people coming to line up, but there were also few petty officials and low-level staff members walking around. The huge council hall looks like a ghost town.

The former speaker of the House of Representatives was an extremely ruthless and domineering political expert, employing cronyism, eradicating dissidents, and turning the council hall into his own hall of words for 12 years. Political opponents, rival factions, and council chambers do not exist, at least not for long. After the fall of the former Speaker, the entire council hall was almost paralyzed. The big officials with a little bit of energy are falling and scattering at a very fast speed, lest they be retaliated against by others, and those who resign resign, those who take long leave of absence, and leave some small officials who rely on their fathers to drink tea and live here, and they have no hope of work at all.

On the walls of the corridor were several notices such as "XX business is temporarily suspended" and "Please contact the relevant staff if you have any urgent matters during inspections".

When you and Hathaway walked into the audit room, unexpectedly, ten clerks and minor officials sat neatly across from each other.

Last time, there were only two people, what happened?

They looked down at the information in their hands and quickly got the audit conclusion:

"Last week, the Adventurers' Guild did a great job, and the Council liked it. What do you say?" the staff breathed a sigh of relief when they heard their colleagues echo each other, and then wrote a financial income and expenditure +2 on the audit book.

"Recently, there has been an increase in the number of adventurers, and the state is also stable, and the council likes stability. What do you say?" the clerk breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the yes next to him, and then wrote a staffing +2 on the audit letter.

"In the rat-man plague, the adventurer's guild also suffered losses, and the council has prepared a special relief fund, and it is clear that you are eligible for the rescue. The strategy for the dungeon also continues to advance smoothly, which is the most pleasing to the council. What do you say?" and without waiting for anything to be said, the clerk bowed his head and wrote a financial income and expenditure +2.

subsequently

He stood up,

Pick up a big bag of gold coins, walk in front of you with difficulty, and let go. In an instant, your arms are almost broken! When you open it, you can see 6,000 gold coins that can illuminate the entire audit room.

Hathaway felt incredulous, repeatedly confirmed the number of gold coins, pinched your cheek to see that it was not a dream, and then stood up: "What does this mean? We haven't captured the first floor of the dungeon yet, explain?"

Hathaway's action of standing up startled a whole row of ten people and suddenly panicked!

They were at a loss, or moved their chairs back, or clung to the corners of the table, or bowed their necks, or stood up almost at the same time.

"Less, less, less to do this! Maybe the big officials will be afraid of you, but we are not afraid! You are just civilians like us, and intimidating the staff of the council will be imprisoned!" He quickly waved his pen and wrote a staffing +2 and a financial revenue and expenditure +2 in the audit book, and shouted in a loud voice, "The meaning of paying you in advance is 'Don't let us see you again!'" Get out, get out, get out!"

Hathaway was kicked out by the staff of the Council Office in a daze, holding a staggering amount of money in a daze, and followed you on the return journey in a daze, still muttering: ...... What's the situation?

·

Back in the guild, there were no adventurers in the hall. What's going on, you ask?

"According to your instructions, the promotion assessment will be held this morning, don't you know?" Fiertin and Adele looked at each other and felt very strange, because the adventurers' promotion assessment was obviously the specific criteria you had chosen, and it had already been set for "next week", and today was "next week".

The guild does not have instructors or scholars, so it has entrusted the marketing side, which has recently had a very good relationship, to assist in the preparation of specific matters for the assessment. Because the market needs to regularly assess mercenaries and has phantom training facilities, it is very handy about this, not only readily agreeing, but also preparing very carefully. At this moment, the adventurer is advancing to the assessment. The location is in the abandoned mine where the "Gravel Spirits" have been cleared, and I believe that the results will come out in a short time.

As a president, you can't do everything yourself or you'll die of exhaustion. Why hire these staff? There are times when you can't get busy or you're not at home.

"Ahh......h

Harpy and the other girls gathered around the billboard, looking at the two orders for "Cloud Splitting City" and "Five Alleys Bay". The difference, Harpy, points to the vista of "Cloud Splitting" and whispers at you.

What does it mean?

Elizabeth explained: "I guess I was homesick. I went through her information, and she was from the mountains near "Cloud Splitting City". ”

Harpy nodded vigorously.

You look up at the sun, it's almost noon. The Speaker's cousin will soon be hanged, and Happy's slave collar will soon be out of service. You touch her cheek, straighten her feathers, and take off the shiny Adventurer's Guild badge in front of you and pin it to the edge of her skirt.

Remove her collar.

Harpy hesitated, looked at the others, and then ran out of the hall and flew away.

Hopefully, that badge will save her life if she's unfortunate enough to be captured by a mercenary or something. It is indeed written on the information that most of the harpys have a strong sense of territory, and the urgency to fly back and the corridors inside the town guard guild probably originated from this.

The whole morning was peaceful.

At noon, your group walked across the street to the "Dragon Pavilion" for dinner. "You" – refers to you, Hathaway, Annette, Elizabeth. Life is finally back on track with the death of Roberts Doug and the departure of the Marquis, but some things may never be the same – for example, there was a very energetic girl named Jessica. Now there's a beautiful girl in charge of the tavern, but you never remember her name.

A dead batch is coming, and a new batch is coming.

This is true of the Tavern, the Adventurer's Guild, and presumably the Council Hall and the Guard. No one is irreplaceable, including you. Otherwise, I'm afraid Hathaway will introduce the portrait of the fifth president pointing at you.

On the first day, you only have 50 gold coins in your pocket, and you are alone with the cold, venomous Hathaway.

The first time you had dinner here, the vice-captain and the Speaker's cousin had a personal commission with you, and in retrospect, it was really ......

Right

Just like the man who just walked in. When you enter the door, you first look around, looking for you, and then walk straight over and sit down. Hey, the marketing manager, why is he here!

"Surely you are here, Lord. Great, I have an urgent matter here that I need to ask you privately. "The market manager will sit directly next to you after entering the "Dragon Pavilion". This time, Hathaway learned so well that she got up early to give up her seat, so as not to be squeezed out of her chair again.

The market manager waved his hand, motioned to the nearby waiter to step away, and then whispered to you: "We said it in advance - if you accept, you must go to execute the commission in person, if you refuse us, we will not have any dissatisfaction, really not, but you must strictly abide by this matter, and do not reveal the slightest rumor." ”

You nodded.

He called a bottle of fine red wine and pointed to the "Shuangling Village" on the bottle to show you: "This brand of wine is a very important source of goods in our market. Includes ......"

Suddenly, in the distance outside the window, in the sky in the direction of the market, a flock of crows flew up, hovering for a long time, refusing to leave.

"Including the man who died. To be honest, Frost Ridge is mainly about making the best wines, but not just making wine, in short, it is very important for the market. Because of the damned Nezumi plague and the timing of the construction of the camp and the post station, we cut off all contact with Frostridge Village for four days. ”

Didn't you send someone to take a look?

"Of course, it's a bit tricky, and it's not something that the mercenaries can solve - all I can say for now is "The entire Frost Ridge Village is isolated". So, I'm here to ask you personally. ”

What about the time?

"Not yet, we haven't got the basic information yet, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go rashly. The market doesn't want to lose you as a partner. In about two or three days, at that point, I'll give you the details of the commission, if you agree. Otherwise, we should immediately contact others for help, and it will take time to find someone else. ”

What are you going to do?

A, take this private commission.

B, politely refused.

"Ah, yes. When I saw the corpse of the little devil in the courtroom, I realized that "why don't you take a magic pet?" Cats, dogs, bats, etc., how about pseudo-dragons? Whatever you want, the market can give it to you. ”

The Pet is a companion unique to mages. It reinforces each other with the mage.

In the case of cats, for example, after signing the pet contract, you will become more agile, the cat will be more intelligent, and will be able to communicate with you to some extent. As mages become more powerful, the pet can share spell effects that were originally only for the mage itself around the mage, becoming stronger and stronger without exceeding the limits of the cat's physiology.

Pets can be replaced, but rarely. It is also rare for a demon pet to break the contract and leave angrily when it is abused. Normally, a mage with a close-knit pet will have the same as a druid or ranger with an animal companion, slightly reducing the leader's charisma.

What are you going to do?

1. Try to pick the right animal before making a decision.

2. Not considered.
