Chapter 16: The Boring Aristocrat

Bearzot and the other two counts, as well as several viscounts, said goodbye to Count Silvio and Antony one by one, and went to Hengling with their retinue.

Although I was prepared not to be able to find the bones of my son, I still had to make such a trip no matter what.

Alfredo and the other two Silver Fighters naturally went with them. Before leaving, they all greeted Anthony in a friendly manner and said goodbye to each other.

For this humble teenager who defeated them, both of them have a good impression. Or, the two are optimistic about Anthony's future and don't mind making friends in advance.

Count Silvio gathered around Anthony and respectfully thanked him for saving Owen's life. He also invited Anthony to their home very warmly, and said that he would prepare a "weighty" thank-you gift for him.

Before leaving, looking at Count Silvio's great hospitality, the counts and viscounts, who were also old foxes, couldn't guess what was in his heart.

It's a pity that the viscounts don't feel that they have the capital and ability to recruit the big Buddha of Anthony.

And the two earls who are qualified already have a silver fighter in their respective families. What will they think of rashly sending a solicitation to another strong person? If they leave angrily, but this young man with great strength and potential fails to come, who will the two earls cry to when the time comes?

The lords had already left, and Anthony didn't have the heart to be polite to the patriarch of the Hilton family, so he bowed his hand and said: "Earl, it's just my convenience to save your son, and you don't need to be too polite." If it's okay, let's separate here. I'm going to go to the Mercenary Guild to settle the mission. ”

Of course, Count Silvio couldn't easily give up the opportunity to befriend Anthony, and hurriedly said, "We came to Hengling City to find Owen. There's nothing else to do anyway, so let's go with Lord Lord." ”

Silvio is a dignified Imperial Count, and it sounds very funny to call a little lord "Lord". It's just that everyone who watched the scene just now didn't think there was anything wrong.

Anthony was quite helpless about the earl who was wrapped up like sticky candy. He is an earl at all, and he greets him with a smile, so it's not easy for him to beat him up. Forget it, as long as it doesn't get in my way, follow me if you like.

Anthony walked into the Hall of the Mercenary Guild with the Count and his son and a bunch of their retinue. The mercenaries parted to make way for each other.

The fierce battle on the street outside just now alarmed many mercenaries to come forward and watch. For this young man who is less than twenty years old, he is both in awe and awe. When they saw him coming, they all consciously got out of the way.

All the way to the counter where the task was handed over unimpeded, Anthony took out his mercenary badge, took out the herb from the space ring, and handed it to the staff on the other side.

"Hello, I'm here to settle the task."

The person who received Anthony this time was a middle-aged uncle. He took the badge and the herbs, and checked the task requirements, the types and quality of the herbs in accordance with the prescribed procedures. Finally, he accepted the herb and handed the badge back to Dantony.

"The mission is complete, and the mercenary points have been recorded."

Count Silvio and Owen, who were watching silently from the sidelines, were very surprised. This young man with amazing strength is really a first-class mercenary?

Anthony took the badge and didn't leave immediately, but looked up at the mission announcement screen. Immediately, he pushed the badge back to the middle-aged uncle and said, "I took the task of collecting herbs No. 45, No. 121, and No. 134. And, now hand over the task now. ”

The middle-aged uncle watched him take out three different herbs from the space ring, and was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "The young man is very smart, he knows that if he goes to Hengling, he will dig up all the herbs he can find." ”

Although he said it lightly, he actually knew in his heart that it was not so easy to operate. Herbs don't all grow in one place and can give you a nest.

The uncle quickly helped Anthony check the task and record the points. Then he said to Anthony with a gentle smile that the seniors encouraged the juniors, "Congratulations, young Mr. Mercenary." Your mercenary level has been increased to level 2, and you can take on more missions. ”

Count Silvio pouted.

The duty of this middle-aged uncle is that he can't leave his post without permission, and he must not have seen the battle outside the door just now. Otherwise, give him two more dares, and he will not dare to speak to Anthony in such a tone and attitude.

However, Anthony is actually actually doing a mercenary mission? And it's to do some low-level tasks like gathering herbs and earn those pitiful points?

Could it be that the people of the mercenary union are blind? Any silver fighter who comes to register as a mercenary can at least have a level 5. In addition, the Mercenary Badge will be given away for free. With a young man as powerful and potential as Anthony, the mercenary union is so lazy and rude?

Count Silvio couldn't figure it out, and he didn't plan to give the mercenary guild a wake-up call. As a successful businessman, the Earl is keenly aware of the opportunities that lie within.

He immediately said to the middle-aged uncle, "Hello, I want to release a mission with no level limit. The type is guard, protecting my son, Owen? Hilton. ”

When Owen heard this, he asked in surprise, "Protect me?" I don't have a shortage of guards. ”

The Count turned back to him and shouted, "Shut up! ”

Then he turned to the middle-aged uncle and said, "I am the Earl of Silvio of the province of Edinburgh, and this is my commission." ”

As he spoke, the Count handed over a black card marked "Hilton Money."

"Count?" The middle-aged uncle was taken aback.

You must know that the city lord of Hengling City is only a viscount. For the middle-aged uncle, the earl is definitely a big man.

Count Silvio ignored his surprise, turned his head, and said to Anthony with a big smile on his face: "Mr. Anthony, I wonder if you are willing to accept this entrusted task?" ”

The Earl's title of "Lord Lord" was just now to show respect; Now I call him "sir" to close the distance. When the Earl's title becomes "Brother Anthony" without provoking the other party's disgust, it means that he is getting closer and closer to his goal.

Anthony frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I have my own business, I'm afraid I'm not suitable to be a guard." ”

Count Silvio hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll let Owen follow you, and it won't get in your way." You just have to keep him safe. ”

Anthony hesitated, then nodded.

The system was falling asleep, and there was no need for him to fight Warcraft. At this time, it is also a good choice to earn some mercenary points. The main thing, of course, is that this task does not limit one's freedom of action.

Seeing that Anthony agreed, Count Silvio hurriedly said to the middle-aged uncle, "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and post a mission! ”

Only then did the middle-aged uncle understand that the earl was here to help brush up mercenary points.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Generally, they are bored aristocratic children, in order to show off and compare the level of mercenaries, so they issue high-value tasks by themselves and complete them by themselves. Anyway, when they release tasks, the mercenary union will charge a certain service fee, so they generally don't bother to care about them. It can be regarded as giving the nobles a face.

However, after all, this kind of thing would damage the reputation of the mercenary union, so they also made certain restrictions, and they could only brush up to level five at most. No matter how high it is, I'm sorry, even if you complete the task, you don't have mercenary points.

After thinking about it, the middle-aged uncle didn't say anything more. He didn't even remind Anthony and Count Silvio that the escort mission seemed to have missed the agreed deadline. Anyway, people are just joking, so why bother with it.

It's just that some things that should be reminded still need to be reminded.

"Lord Earl, because it is an unlimited mission, according to the rules of the Mercenary Guild, anyone can apply and accept it. I can't help you designate Young Master Anthony here to take over the task, and I ask for your understanding and forgiveness. ”

Count Silvio was in a good mood and said with a smile, "It's okay, you just come according to the rules of the guild." Believe me, no one is going to compete with Mr. Anthony for this task. ”
