The dilapidated gate of the mercenary union branch in Hamm Town was pushed open with a "creak", and a teenager with two small birds standing on his shoulders walked in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yo, little handsome guy, why are you here?" The receptionist at the counter was apparently a makeshift guy, and Kester distinctly remembered that when he arrived a few hours earlier, the scantily clad Bloodline woman was drinking with Wren. Obviously, her drinking power is very good, and at this time, there are already four or five big men who have drunk down by her side.

"I'll see if there's any assignment to take." Even though he had seen a lot of "fraternity" in Sky City, the dilemma of being teased by the face still made Kester feel a little embarrassed, so he had to try to bring the topic to the point, "I heard before that there is a demotion task that can be accepted. ”

"What's the rush to take on the task, why don't you come over and have a drink with my sister first? Don't be like Pete. The Bloodclan woman leaned down and half-leaned on the bar and laughed, completely ignoring the spring light on her chest.

"Uh... Forget it..."After a few words of prayer to Father in his heart, Kester tried to take his eyes off the other party's snow-white ravine, "I don't know how to drink, and those big brothers can't drink you, so I won't come to show foreign appearances." ”

"Cut, it's boring, take it, here's the to-do list." The Blood-Clan woman was bored, she pouted, tossed the to-do list to Kester, and poured herself a glass of wine.

Kester picked up the list and thought it through, Pete had told him that the "-1", "-2", and "-3" marked at the front of the taskbar meant the number of levels the task was lowered. With Kester's current level, he can take on a D-rank mission of -3 at most, and if he successfully completes such a mission, he will be able to raise his mercenary level to F-rank. It's a pity that due to the problem of creditworthiness, Kester can only take on one task at most, which makes him very entangled. There are three D-class missions in -3, but the destinations to complete them are in three different directions, and they are all hundreds of kilometers away. After thinking about it, Kester still chooses a -2 E-class mission - to help Farmer Dave clear his field of magic plants.

Demon plants are strange creatures, they have the attributes of both monsters and plants, as long as there is sunlight, water and air, they can maintain their growth, and at the same time, they also have the combat power to protect themselves. High-level magic plants can even break free from the constraints of their roots, and move around to take root at any time as they like. However, the magic plant that occupied the farmland in the mission obviously could not be a high-level crop, and Kester was confident that this task would not be difficult for him.

"Okay, that's it!" Kester pulled the task off the list, turned and headed for the door.

"Hey, wait, you need to pay a deposit for the demotion task." Although the blood women are not interested in this temporary job, they still have not forgotten the basic rules of the mercenary union.

"Huh? I really don't know this, how to calculate the deposit? Kester asked.

"Level -1 requires one-tenth of the task, level -2 requires one-fifth of the task, and level -3 requires one-third of the task. There is also the old rule that if the task is not completed within the time limit specified in the task list, the task will be automatically recycled. The Bloodline Woman drank all the bad wine in her cup, "Bring it, five silver coins." ”

In desperation, Kester had no choice but to hand over half of the ten silver coins that had just arrived. He couldn't help sighing, and thought silently in his heart: "Hey, it seems that making money is also a very tiring thing." ”

**********

Dave has been troubled lately, and a magic plant has somehow grown in the Blue Tung fruit field that his family has cultivated for generations, which is an extremely aggressive man-eating flower. It's funny to say, but the first person to suffer was a thief, the dwarf who stole the blue dong fruit accidentally stepped into the trap of the man-eating flower, and was eaten so that there were no bones left.

Originally, Dave only had to avoid a radius of about ten meters near the man-eating flower to ensure his safety when he was farming. After all, the blue dongguo was only an herbaceous plant less than half a meter tall, and the man-eating flower was a full human height. But three months ago, seven or eight piranha flower seedlings grew one after another in the farmland with a circle of five meters around the man-eating flower. This is very bad for Dave, if the cannibal flowers grow more and more, then in a year's time, his family's fertile land will probably be completely occupied by the piranha, and it will become a forbidden land.

So he approached the Mercenary Guild in Hamm Town and issued an E-Class mission with only 30 silver coins. Looking at the receipt that even the handling fee cost five silver coins, Dave was distressed, knowing that he was usually reluctant to even eat a piece of the blue dong fruit he harvested.

But it backfired, there were not many mercenaries in such a small place as Hamm Town, and the first third-order samurai to take over the mission was bitten off by the cannibal flower in one face, which greatly contributed to the man-eating flower's fierce reputation. For three months, his task was unexpectedly unattended. Seeing the seven or eight piranha seedlings growing bigger and bigger, Dave was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

No, the sun was about to go down again, and looking at the piranha seedlings in the field, Dave had already decided that if no one took his task in three days, he would take the axe from the kitchen and fight with the cannibals. If the seedlings grow up, then he will not even be qualified to work hard, and all he will have to face is unemployment, and then starve to death on the streets. For a farmer who had no professional talent and had lost his land, it was too difficult to survive in Acewell.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.

"Who? The door is unlocked. Dave snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Hello, uncle, are you Mr. Dave?" A black-haired and black-eyed teenager pushed open the door, "Excuse me, did you issue the task of eradicating the demon plant?" ”

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

"I took your mission from the Mercenary Guild, and now I'm bothering you to take me to see the situation of the Demon Plant." The boy smiled kindly.

The boy was naturally Kester, and after taking the task, he didn't stop too long to rush to the farmer Dave's house on the task list. Although Kester was already hungry, he decided to finish the task before going to eat.

"You? Just kidding! Dave looked at the young man in front of him with suspicion. He couldn't help but believe it, the scene of the big man who was a third-order samurai being bitten off by a cannibal flower was vivid, and Dave was very suspicious that the milky imp in front of him would be scared to the bottom of the urine at the first sight of the cannibal. Oh my God, there are two birds standing on his shoulders, is he here to play with this task?

"Hey, it's really nerve-wracking, it seems that uncle, you really don't believe me, it seems that you can only use some special means."

"What?"

"Look at it!"
