"That's right, it's the Mantis Demon Empress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 According to legend, before the first twilight of the gods, the gods were still in a period of melee. On a certain continent, there is a mantis demon queen born during the melee period. She constantly absorbs the power of the dead and uses it as a personal guard to give birth to her closest cronies. In some way, make an army of more than 10,000 mantis demons. According to my great-grandfather, "At that time, the army of praying mantis demons was overwhelming, and their numbers could bring darkness to a sunlit land." Everywhere we went, our fate was dark. "Until my great-grandfather was on his deathbed, he was still haunted by the horror of the mantis demon."

"I've heard that a mantis demon with an empress will become even crazier, but is it really as exaggerated as you say, Greindain? In the past, we have also fought together against the subspecies of the Mantis Demon, and the subspecies can be said to be on the same level as the Praying Mantis Demon General. But if it's just one more empress, will it really become so terrifying? ”

It's stupid, it's really my stupidest choice to choose Negan as captain, no, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a stain. The strength of the mantis demon subspecies is equal to that of the mantis demon general, but this is just the touting of killing the mantis demon subspecies among adventurers, and the mantis demon subspecies is at most equal to the strength of twenty ordinary mantis demons. Negan would really believe that... Why is a subspecies called a subspecies only called a subspecies if it has such great power? I have long been the general of the Mantis Demon and the Mantis Demon! And now there is an empress-level mantis demon above the mantis demon general, I'm afraid that this commission will be life-threatening. What to do? I want to run away, but I can't leave Eco and these fools behind. Or do you want to hint at Negan and tell him not to accept this commission? Well, just hint at him. I can't lose my life for money, I want to live for a few hundred more years, preferably with Echo.

Kicking Negan the idiot, he looked at me with a puzzled expression, and I quietly glanced at him and motioned for him not to accept the task. Negan seemed to understand what I meant, and gave me a look. Doesn't look like he's that stupid? Slightly changed his IQ.

"Guild Master, no more talk. We are aware of the importance of this commission, and I accept it on behalf of the "Judge". ”

(⊙o⊙) Oh! Are you sure? ”

"Yes, for the peace here."

"You idiot!"

Oops, out of control. Sure enough, a fool is a fool, and "there is no cure for the brain-dead" turned out to be a truth. Why do we have such a stupid captain?

"Ignore him, he's been cursed with the name "retarded" before, so he's going to have intermittent seizures. It's just a seizure now. ”

"You've just fallen under the curse of "retarded"! ”

"So let's talk about the content of the commission and the remuneration."

Ahhh Damn! These two guys! How dare you ignore me, an intermediate magician! I'm also an A-class adventurer! And most importantly, the eyes of that stinky old man! Look at me with the eyes of a poor child! Yes? Do you really believe what Negan's idiot says? And both Eco and Albero looked at me with surprised eyes! They clearly believe it's there! I'm going to get revenge on you! Negan!

"This commission is mainly to explore the mantis demon's cave, you don't have to worry, we also know that it is impossible to fight against tens of thousands of mantis demons with only the four of you. Therefore, you only need to roughly collect the approximate combat power of the mantis demon and their intelligence level. If you can, it's best to find out the specific location of the Mantis Demon Empress as well. The latter is an additional commission, with an additional remuneration upon completion. ”

"Hey, then it's easy, but why do you even have to collect their intelligence? Even if a mantis demon has intelligence, it's just a monster, right? ”

"Intelligence determines the strength of monsters, and we have defeated two-headed bears in the past, and we can be regarded as high-intelligence monsters. Negan, didn't you hang the lottery at that time? ”

"Oh! So that's it! It's Alberrow! ”

You're the only one who's just an idiot!

"Now let's talk about the pay. If you complete the main commission, each person will receive 300 citrine. Complete additional quests to earn 10 more red crystals each! And this time it's the main commission within the guild, and I'll buy you a "Kill Risk List". In the unfortunate event that you lose your life, your family members will receive compensation for three red crystals. ”

"What!" ”””

That's a lot of pay, isn't it? The top five spars of red, yellow, blue, green, and purple will be rewarded with two of them! Adventurers of our level generally receive either oparite or kyanite as a reward. It is said that only S-grade and special S-grade will have citrine rewards! Ten omerites can make an average family of four barely live for a month. It seems that the reward is directly proportional to the degree of danger, and it also helps us buy a "murder risk list"... Is this going to trap us?

"Then let me ask you again, would you like to accept this commission? This is arguably the highest pay in recent years. ”

"I accept!"

"I accept it too..."

"Ditto."

The fool was the first to accept it, and Ike's family situation is said to be very difficult, and this time there is also a "murder risk list"... So it's to be expected that Echo would accept it. Albero can be classified as a battle maniac, so he will definitely accept it as well. Then I'm the only one left, I didn't want to accept this kind of super dangerous commission, but I can't leave Eco and the two of them alone, so... I will also give my life to accompany the gentleman.

"I also accept... Negan is an idiot. ”

"Yes, sure enough, everyone is of the same mind. Well? Nebot, what did you just say? ”

"Alright, then I'm sure you're accepting the commission. In accordance with the regulations for high-risk tasks, 10% of the remuneration will be paid to you first, so please be aware of it. Time is short, so you're leaving tomorrow. Have a nice evening to all of you. ”

Looks like I'm going to hurry up with my confession to Echo. Maybe you won't have a chance after tonight, right? But first, let's write a letter and send it back to my hometown. If I die, my parents will still have three red crystals in compensation, and if I save a little, it should be enough for them to use it for more than ten years, right? Well, it's my primary goal to complete the commission alive. Before you confess, let's take a trip to the custom street... It hadn't been used since the encounter with Echo. Am I a good man?

"Then let's disband first! Meet at the guild gate tomorrow at six o'clock! ”

After receiving 10% early pay, I walked to the hotel alone. Hopefully, this letter will not be my last words.
