Chapter 194: Entrustment and Intelligence
"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, then I'll talk about the current task." Alicia pulled out a stack of papers from a drawer, "These are recent events that need to be dealt with. ”
Looking at the stack of documents in Alicia's hand, a rat-eared thief who looked like an ordinary halfling was stunned: "Boss, these won't all be the events we have to deal with, right?" ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. These are all events that we need to deal with. Alicia smiled.
The thief blew up directly: "Hey, hey! A little too much, right? Is this to treat us like cattle!? ”
"This black tea tastes good." Green calmly sat on the sofa drinking tea and watching the play. As a temporary worker, Green said calmly - it doesn't matter.
"Don't worry, there are only two cases that need to be solved urgently." Alicia pulled out two documents and handed them to the thief.
"That's pretty much it." The thief took the two pieces of paper and looked at them, "What is written on it?" ”
Since you can't read, pretend to look at a yarn!
"One is a commission from the city hall to investigate what happened in White Bear Village; There's also a request from Baron Custer to help deal with the haunting of the manor. Alicia began.
"Haunted? This kind of thing should go to the pastor! The thief couldn't help but shout.
The female knight ignored the thieves' shouting, turned to Grimm who was sitting on the sofa and said, "Mr. Green, could you please investigate what happened in White Bear Village?" ”
Green stood up, Shi Shiran walked over, took two pieces of paper from the thief's hand, and looked.
"The tax collector who went to White Bear Village to collect taxes is missing, and so are the militia who went to investigate......" Green frowned slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm only interested in cursed items." Forget about this kind of investigative mission where you can't get loot. ”
"You can't go missing for no reason. It is very likely that this is an incident caused by a monster, and it is very likely that some dangerous monster has blocked the communication between the village and the outside world. If you can fix this, whatever loot you find, it's all yours. ”
Alicia's words piqued Green's interest.
After thinking for a while, Green spoke, "Is there any other information?" Didn't anyone in the village run out? ”
"There are no clues." Alicia shook her head, "It's been a long time since I've seen anyone coming from that village. Because the tax collector who went to collect taxes disappeared, as did the militia sent to investigate later, the city hall noticed the anomaly. ”
Greene: "So you suspect a monster has blocked the village?" ”
"Yes. And it's probably a very dangerous monster! Alicia hesitated, "The tax collector went with five entourage, and the militia who went to investigate was a team of twelve, but they didn't even get a piece of news back, so it attracted the attention of the town hall. ”
"Hmm......" Green was a little intrigued, "kind of interesting." Then let him come with me. ”
Green pointed to the middle-aged uncle at the door. Green was intrigued by the magician, and wanted to talk to him on the way.
"Unfortunately, I can't let them out of my sight." Alicia spread her hands, "Both of them are guilty bodies, and I have an obligation to supervise them. ”
Green looked at the female knight, and then at the other two: "If the two of them want to run, can you stop it?" ”
"See this?" The decadent middle-aged man leaning against the corner pointed to his neck.
In the middle-aged man there is a metal ring around the neck.
Green's heart moved slightly: "What is this?" ”
"This is a collar used to control slaves." The thief grinned and touched the iron ring around his neck, "As long as we don't listen to her, this one will blow our heads up to the sky." ”
"This is a request from the city hall." Alicia smiled, "But if you can work well, you can take off the collar in a year and truly regain your freedom." ”
The thief pursed his lips and lay lazily on the couch.
Green was a little disappointed: "Okay. I'll leave this case to me. ”
"Then please." Alicia said seriously.
"That's right. Are there any bonuses or event funds? Green asked the female knight, "Adventurers have bounties for completing the commission, and we won't have any rewards after completing the commission, but will we have to post the money upside down, right?" ”
"This ...... Well, sorry, I didn't think about that before. Alicia thought for a moment, "Mr. Green, can you give me an overview of how the Adventure Guild in the Dawn Kingdom works?" ”
There are no labyrinths in Northbod, so adventurers are very rare, and naturally there is no adventure guild dedicated to managing adventurers. So Alicia was a little curious about the adventurous guilds in the south.
Hearing Alicia's inquiry, Green briefly introduced the situation of the Adventure Guild and how it operated.
After listening to Green's introduction, Alicia touched her chin and pondered for a while.
"Maybe we should set up the Special Services Unit as something like the Adventure Guild." Alicia looked at the stack of orders on the table, "Starting from the north, the magic content of the entire world has begun to rise, and I am afraid that the monsters will make more and more trouble in the future, in this case, it is obviously not enough to rely on a few of us." It's a good idea to delegate some inconsequential tasks to someone else. ”
Green blinked: "The magic content of the whole world is rising? "Is it because of yourself?
"Huh? That's a good idea. The thieves seemed intrigued by the idea, "so that we don't have to work!" ”
"No, even if there is an adventure guild, you still have to work." Alicia glared at the thief, "You're getting the salary from the town hall!" ”
"Cut! ~" The thief smashed his mouth.
After some discussion, a relatively simple and crude system was established, and a system of bounties was established after the completion of the mission, so as to ensure that the field team members would not be paid for the cost of the trip.
After setting the rules, Green left the security team with his papers, and Alicia, after making some arrangements for the work of the security team, also left the security team with the team and went to Baron Custer's manor, intending to deal with the haunting of the manor for Baron Custer.
Alicia is very enthusiastic and quick to work, but as a temporary worker, Green is a bit of a grinder.
After taking the task, Green did not set off immediately, but returned to the inn and asked the tavern owner for news.
Since the murder incident has been resolved, the muscular brothers who often hang out in the tavern have also returned to the barracks, which makes the tavern seem a little deserted.
"White Bear Village?" Hearing Green's inquiry, the tavernkeeper thought for a moment, "Oh, I know. The village was in the mountains, so every now and then some furs and game would be brought to the town to sell. ”
Greene: "Have anyone from White Bear Village come to the city lately?" ”
"It's not clear." The tavern owner smiled, "I'm not cheap here, and ordinary villagers can't afford to live there." ”
Green looked at the bulging muscles on the tavernkeeper's body, and then turned his head to look at the empty tavern: "It's a shame that you haven't gone out of business until now." ”
"Haha, because it's off-season. In the summer, I'm full every day! ”
"I want to know about the situation in White Bear Village, where should I ask?"
"Hmm...... You can go to the Leo Chamber of Commerce and ask. The Leo Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that deals in furs, grains and various herbs. If White Bear Village wants to trade with the outside world, it will definitely contact the Leo Chamber of Commerce. ”
"I see." Green drank the wine on the table in one gulp, then stood up, "Thank you for the information. ”
