Early in the morning, Natalie was waiting in front of the hotel where Haruka was staying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Good morning, two of you. Seeing Haruka and Iskar appear, she stepped forward to greet her.
"Good morning. Haruka replied politely.
"How were you two resting last night?"
"Yes, very good. Iskar spoke before Haruka did, and Haruka on the side couldn't help but smile wryly, recalling the bleak memories of spending the night in the aisle last night.
"Then I'll invite you two to have breakfast together, and I'll talk you two about something else. ”
"Okay. ”
Led by Natalie, the group took a seat at a restaurant that looked quite upscale, and after ordering, Iskar was the first to speak.
"Say, looking at your expression, it seems that there is something very important to tell us, right?"
"I don't think I can hide it from you. Natalie lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "The two of you went to the Adventurers' Guild last night." ”
"That's right, we did, did Miss Natalie send someone to keep an eye on us?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep an eye on you, I made a big fuss at the door of the Adventurer's Union last night, and the identities of the two of you girls are particularly eye-catching, so the Chamber of Commerce naturally has some sources here, and I just happened to know the whereabouts of the two. ”
"Well, in that case, what do you want to say?" Haruka on the side looked up at her.
"You two must have heard that a lot of slime creatures have appeared in the newly opened mines in Wells recently. ”
"Oh, that task, we have been commissioned, but as I said before, we need to rush to Artinia now, so we don't have time to deal with this kind of chores. ”
"Sorry, maybe it's not as simple as you think. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I saw some more last night. ”
"Foresight?"
"Yes, a large number of demonic beasts have poured into the city, and the whole of Wells has become a purgatory on earth. ”
“!!”
"Please, save this city, you two are very powerful, far superior to the soldiers and adventurers here. ”
"This... Haruka looked a little hesitant.
"We're not saviors to be involved in such a dangerous event!" Iskar clearly didn't want to wade into the troubled waters.
"Of course, in addition to monetary compensation, I will also give this to you. Natalie pulled out a gold badge from her close-fitting pocket.
"This is?!"
"This is the badge that represents the highest status of the Chamber of Commerce, with this badge, you have the entire Chamber of Commerce as your backstage, and if you encounter any interrogation or obstruction in the subsequent journey, you can show this, even the national level will not be willing to confront the Chamber of Commerce head-on. ”
"Although I haven't seen the real thing again, I still occasionally hear that it is rumored throughout the Chamber of Commerce that only a few businessmen with extreme power and wealth can have, and no matter what the person who owns this badge does, it directly represents the will of the entire Chamber of Commerce, so if this thing falls into the hands of some people with bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable. Iskar stared at the badge in Natalie's hand in surprise.
"It's such an important thing ... Is it really okay to give it to us?" Haruka looked at her in surprise.
"As long as it can save the city, this badge is worth it!"
"Well, if there was such a thing, the rest of the journey would be basically unimpeded. ”
"I've accepted your commission. Haruka took Natalie's hand, "I can't bear to see this beautiful city destroyed, don't worry, whether it's a monster or something else, I will defeat it all for you." ”
"Okay, thank you so much!"
"Hey, is it really okay to boast about Haikou like this?" Iska on the side couldn't bear to interrupt.
"Anyway, let's take one step at a time!"
In the afternoon, Haruka, Iska and the other adventurers involved in this mission were gathered in the square in the center of the city, and it was estimated that there were fifty or sixty people.
"It's just a slime removal mission, and so many people have been called?"
"yes, how many slimes do you need to have so many people. ”
"It seems that everyone is some low-level adventurer, so this task should be just pure manual labor. ”
"Indeed... Even a high level ... ”
Just as the adventurers present were discussing, a man in silver armor and holding a huge battle axe slowly walked to the high platform in front of the square, and the originally noisy square suddenly fell silent.
"Everyone, listen up, my name is Duke, Duke of the Great Axe, and I'm a Silver A-class adventurer. This mission is led by me, although it is not a very difficult task, but after all, it is a newly opened mine, so don't take it lightly, don't act alone when carrying out the mission, be sure to form a team of at least 2 people, and retreat in time if there is a situation. Duke's deep, gruff voice echoed throughout the square......
