Chapter 2 The Priests in the Union
The north of the town of Nonorila is the busiest part of the town, with taverns, inns, gambling houses, alchemy workshops, blacksmiths, medical halls, etc., all located here, and all kinds of shops are dazzling.
The branch of the mercenary union, a well-known organization in mainland China, is also located here.
The bustling north of the city is still full of people even at night.
At the end of the day, which may be stressful, tedious, or ordinary, the mercenaries returned to the union to hand over the task, sitting with acquaintances, drinking crude ale, and chatting loudly.
Whenever night falls, the mercenary union is the world of those experienced old mercenaries, and a series of strange stories slowly come out of the mouths of these old mercenaries who have traveled south and north, entering the river to hunt the trolls in the river, breaking into the mountains to fight the demon bear, escorting goods to the grassland to confront the wolves, and the stories of the old mercenaries can always attract applause one after another.
Dressed in a plain linen robe that was relatively easy to move, Edward's somewhat slender figure blended into the mercenary guild.
Walking through the lively hall of the Mercenary Guild, Edward made his way through the crowd, calmly standing in front of the task bar, and quickly swept the task orders on the bulletin board.
"The tail needle of the third-order escort mission, the second-order sewer exploration mission, and the second-order collection mission, the water hidden scorpion...... Isn't there a task that is suitable for one person and is not too time-consuming? Edward frowned as he looked at the task bulletin board in front of him.
The missions on the bulletin board were either multiplayer missions or long-distance cross-city missions, which caused Edward, who was alone and stumped by his own church, quite a headache.
Edward, who had a headache, gnawed his thumb and whispered: "Sure enough, the easy tasks in the evening have already been picked up, I should probably come here at five o'clock in the morning to guard the bulletin board and hang new tasks, but I have to do morning classes in the morning......"
Who doesn't like simple and fast-paying tasks, as far as Edward knows, when the bulletin board is updated every morning on the mercenary guild's side, there have been several stampedes because of the scramble for tasks!
With that, Edward glanced down at his small body, and then swept around the group of tall and fat rough men, grabbing the task list between a group of mercenaries whose arms were thicker than his waist...... Well, let's stop dreaming.
"Little Father Edward?!"
A cry of surprise brought Edward back from his musings, and Edward looked back to see a half-elf girl in old gray leather armor with short pale blonde hair.
"Miss Lim?"
Lim. Philia, a half-elven ranger who has just entered the second order, is a member of a mercenary group called the Iron Wolf.
With a quarter of elven blood, even a dusty old leather armor could not hide Lim's charm, that delicate face and well-proportioned figure...... Well, if you want to say that there are no flaws, Lim is good at everything, but her chest is a little broken, and her skin is not as fair as that of ordinary elves.
A few days after Edward arrived in the small town of Nonorira, Edward was able to tell her that the half-elf girl in front of him was an old acquaintance.
Because the half-elf was abandoned by the elven gods, Lim, who could not believe in the elven gods, became a pan-believer, as long as it was not a church under the elven gods, Lim would go in and worship.
In the past few days that Lim's team of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group arrived in Nonorira, Lim has been running to Edward's church a lot, attending morning classes on time every morning, which is more diligent than many true believers.
To be honest, Edward already had the idea of developing Lim into a member of his own church, after all, this half-elf girl is indeed quite religious when it comes to the gods.
It's a pity that Lim's team won't stay in Nonorira for long, and according to Lim, their team will leave Nonorira in four days.
"Lim, don't you want to introduce me?"
As Edward greeted Lim, a deep voice rang out from the side, and he turned his head to see a sturdy Terran swordsman in blue-gray half-length armor looking at him with a smile.
"Ah, sorry, forgot." Lim patted her head and quickly took Edward's hand and introduced him.
"Little Father Edward, this middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard and unkempt look is the captain of my squad, and his name is Barron. Grace. ”
Lim happily introduced Edward, ignoring the corners of her captain's mouth twitching after hearing her comment on him as a captain, and his expression was full of black lines.
"Dead girl, I'm not going to be rough!" Captain Barron laughed angrily as he raised his hand and tapped Lim on the head.
Barron looked at Edward, raised his hand to make a chest salute, and showed a hearty smile: "I'm Barron, the captain of the Barron squad of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Father Edward." ”
Edward nodded lightly, with a gentle smile on his face like a spring breeze: "I am Edward, the bishop of this small town church. ”
"Bishop?!" Barron was stunned, a glint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Looking at Edward's age, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and he had already become a bishop of a church?
"Our church is very small, it is estimated that there are not many churches on this continent, and the last old bishop here in Nonorira returned to the kingdom of God two months ago, and to be honest, I also chased ducks to the shelves." Edward shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.
The Ancient Ya Cult is not well-known in this world, and Edward's immediate boss, Gu Yashen, has not invested much energy in this world to develop her beliefs, so Edward's road can be said to be a long way to go.
Small sects? I see. Barron nodded secretly, there are many sects in this world, and under the six major churches, there are countless small sects. Barron had encountered many such small sects, but it was the first time that Barron had encountered such a disastrous sect as Edward's that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child had become the bishop of the church.
"Captain, don't look at Father Edward's youth, his level of magic is quite high, and the group blessing will come at hand during the morning class."
Barron's pupils shrank slightly, group blessing? A second-level divine technique commonly used by priests?!
Because of Lim's words, Edward's status in Barron's heart suddenly increased, and he looked at Edward with more enthusiasm.
"Speaking of which, Lord Edward is so late, what does the Mercenary Guild do? Is there a task entrustment? I can let my team do it for me if I need to, well, if it's easy, I won't charge you a commission. ”
Because of the existence of the gods and the abilities of the priests and priests, they are respected by countless people in this world.
There will always be a little injury and illness in a person's life, and there will always be a time when a person asks for priests and priests. Therefore, befriending priests and priests is definitely a profitable business.
Publish a task?
Edward shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, I'm not here to commission a mission, to be precise, I'm here to accept a mission." If I don't make some money, my church won't be able to open the pot. ”
