65. There will be a time of parting

"You're leaving?"

At the dinner table, Stuelsen said with some surprise.

"Hmm." Su Yan nodded, and then took out a nameplate of the Mercenary Guild, "The Mercenary Guild issued me a new rank certificate." ”

It was a silvery-white nameplate, the whole was polished to a very bright light, and there was no roughness of the ore, and the touch brought a very unique metallic texture, which seemed to have been blessed with some kind of magic to prevent various environmental influences.

The nameplate is rectangular in shape, about the size of an adult's two fingers. The nameplate has been perforated on both sides so that it can be threaded with a string - many mercenaries like to wear the nameplate as a necklace.

On the surface, a symbol of the Mercenary Guild is engraved: under a shield painted with a pattern similar to an unfolding scroll, are crossed knives and swords. On the back, there is a series of striped code-like textures, which are the private identifiers of each mercenary registered in the mercenary guild.

"Platinum." When Stuelsen saw this nameplate, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's Mr. Levy." ”

"Originally, it was a test that required the completion of a mission as a symbol of strength, but it was canceled because I easily killed the messenger of the Adventurer's Guild." Su Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with some disapproval, "In general, being able to get this rank status is indeed beyond my expectations, and I originally thought that it would be a silver or gold rank nameplate at most." ”

"Mr. Levi still likes to joke so much." Stuhlson shook his head with a smile, not taking Su Yan's words seriously, "You saved the entire city of Akara." With that in mind, the Mercenary Guild can't just give you a silver or gold status. …… Several demon invasion incidents in the history of the Azea Continent were all handled by silver-level powerhouses, and sometimes even powerhouses of this level could only be responsible for peripheral work. ”

In the mercenary guild's hierarchical system, ordinary mercenaries may be able to rely on the success rate of tasks to improve their mercenary rank, but at most they will stop at the gold rank. If you want to reach the Platinum rank, you must have the strength to match it - that is, the mercenaries of the Platinum rank are basically starting from the lower heroes, and there are no exceptions.

However, like Su Yan, a mercenary who directly ascended to the sky and became a platinum-level mercenary is rarely seen in the history of the Mercenary Guild.

Most of the mercenaries of the platinum rank rely on the mission completion rate and excellent completion rate to finally be promoted. They even need to complete a difficult task assigned by the Mercenary Guild, and their performance must not be too bad before they can eventually be promoted to the Platinum rank mercenary.

So when Stuelsen casually said this experience, Su Yan's first reaction was not to treat it as a story, but to directly analyze the intelligence value contained in it.

Although there are three different levels of distinction between heroic-level powerhouses, and the difference in strength is very large, one characteristic can also be roughly judged from this: that is, the strength of the invading demon is very strong, otherwise, there is no reason for the hero-level powerhouse of the platinum rank not to even have the qualifications to sweep the formation, and can only be responsible for the work on the periphery. If this information is not exaggerated, then in the history of Azea's demon invasion, it is likely that there have been demons whose strength has reached the level of legend or above.

Just one doppelganger or projection has already reached this level, but the mercenary guild still has the ability to participate in combat work and drive these demons out of this world, if it is linked to the level of national strength of the seven major churches and countries in the Azea continent, Su Yan found that the water in this world is even deeper than he imagined.

However, Su Yan did not continue to dwell on this topic.

He quickly changed his tune and said, "So what are you going to do after we leave?" ”

Stuhlson laughed, his smile was very indifferent, and he didn't seem to be disappointed or anything else: "It's just that everything starts all over again." Fortunately, I'm not old, Lena has a very solid experience and foundation, she will take over as the deputy head of the regiment from now on to participate in the management, and she will definitely become an excellent regiment leader in the future. Besides, the foundation of our Storm Mercenary Group is not very bad, and there is such a station, the prospects are very good. ”

"Yes." Lena on the side also interjected, "Especially the impact of the previous demon invasion has only begun to spread gradually, and now the mercenaries in the entire Acala City have become a mess." We can also absorb some talents from it and develop and expand the Storm Mercenary Group, maybe we can still maintain the current foundation and not really have to start from scratch. ”

"Look, I'll just say she's going to be a good leader." Stuhlson laughed, "Lena has a much longer vision than I do, and her sense of smell is much sharper than mine." So I think I'll be relieved to hand over the Storm Mercenary Group to her. ”

The Storm Mercenary Group had experienced a fiasco before, which led to the almost dissolution of the entire mercenary group, and many people were watching their jokes that time.

But after experiencing this Vengeful Spirit incident, it was not so miserable for the Storm Mercenary Group.

At least compared to the last time, they only had one man reduced this time: Lunes was completely out of his mind and heart, and was finally forced to be killed by the helpless Stuelse. On the contrary, Bonn, because he was completely unconscious at the beginning, escaped at the last moment. After experiencing that incident, Thomas, a left-behind teenager, also changed his mentality, began to become more diligent and hardworking, and his enthusiasm for learning was much higher.

This is really not that bad for the Storm Mercenary Group.

Besides, the impact of that demonic invasion was the entire city of Acala, and the mercenary group that was disbanded because of that night was not a hundred but eighty. Although the strength of most of the mercenaries is not very good, but the big waves are sweeping the sand, and those who can survive are afraid that they will soon usher in a period of explosive growth in strength.

Even the Rose Mercenary Regiment of Tedmis has been affected by attrition to a certain extent, so it is conceivable that the situation of other mercenary groups can be imagined.

If the Storm Mercenary Group can really absorb a group of talents in the follow-up impact this time, then it is not impossible for this mercenary group to return to the top ten mercenary groups in Akara City.

In view of this, Su Yan did not mention the incident that Sophia told him before: Tedmis's Rose Mercenary Group intends to absorb the Storm Mercenary Group.

"Well, then I'll wish you all the best." Su Yan smiled and raised a glass in congratulations.

Everyone raised their glasses and touched each other.

However, only Su Yan, Stuhlson, and Bonn really drank alcohol.

Lena doesn't like the bitter taste of ale, while Notia, Eliol, and Glavin prefer fruit. As for the two little ones, Steulson wanted Thomas to drink, but the left-behind teenager refused with a serious attitude; And little Anna, her eyes seem to be eager to try, but it's a pity that Su Yan, who is a father, is beside her, and the little guy doesn't have to think about it.

At this time, Anna had no choice but to hold a glass of juice in both hands and clink glasses with others.

However, compared to the fact that other people are almost dry, little Anna has to drink much more elegantly: sipping one sip at a time, smacking her lips each time, and after a good aftertaste, she will take a second sip.

Part of the reason for this is due to the three elves who are fifty years old but are still underage.

In the life when Anna and Su Yan wandered together, the little guy's eating appearance was not so elegant, she completely belonged to the type of self-liberating - after all, judging from Su Yan's previous life style, eating must be a habit of racing against time, and of course the little Anna who learned from each other was taken crookedly. Then when the three elves saw Anna's eating appearance for the first time, they launched a brutal accusation against Su Yan and began to try to reverse Anna's eating appearance.

But in recent times, they have been working hard - not ineffective, but not as good as they thought: whenever she saw that most of the food on the table was swept away by Thomas, little Anna would not care so much, she would simply throw away the knife and fork, and start to use her hands and feet like Thomas.

Every time the three elves saw this scene, they felt a headache.

Therefore, they can only accept Su Yan's merciless ridicule of them: Too young, too simple Tucson breaks.

Then, Su Yan began to strictly control Anna's diet.

To be precise, you can only have a glass of about 300 milliliters of juice, two cutlets, two puddings, a fruit and vegetable salad, and a bowl of soup for each meal. And whether it is the food that Anna likes to eat or does not like to eat, it must all be addressed, otherwise the next meal will have to increase the amount of uneaten food and reduce the supply of juice or pudding.

So since then, Anna's eating appearance has become more and more elegant and calm.

Because she suddenly understood a truth, no matter how fast she ate, she could only eat so many things, so it was better to eat slowly and enjoy the delicious food.

In Su Yan's words, this is a precision strike against Anna's weakness.

However, his words did not arouse praise from others, but ushered in Lena's contempt: even to be so calculating to his own daughter, he is simply not human.

Although Su Yan wanted to reply to her: I am indeed not human.

But on closer thought, he gave up on the idea.

Seeing Anna smack her lips and reluctantly put the cup back on the table, Su Yan gently pushed her cup of juice in front of Anna: "Tonight is the last dinner, so you are allowed to drink one more glass." ”

"Wow." A happy smile appeared on the little one's face, "I know that Daddy is the best!" ”

Su Yan smiled and gently softened Anna's head.

"That...... What about pudding? Anna squinted her eyes like a kitten enjoying herself, but she tentatively said, "Can Anna have another one?" ”

"You guy." Su Yan smiled and shook his head, but he still pushed his pudding in front of Anna.

"Hee-hee!" The little one let out a cheer of joy.

The other people at the table, watching the interaction between the father and daughter, couldn't help but smile a little.

"By the way, Lord Levi, where are you going to go after you leave Acala City?" Sturson asked.

"Take a trip to the Guta Fortress." Su Yan opened his mouth and said, "When the Mercenary Guild gave me this nameplate this time, they also wanted me to help bring a letter to the Ancient Tower Fortress by the way and hand it over to the management of the Mercenary Guild over there. Besides, I was going to take the three of them to Guta Fortress with me, so I should stop by for a trip. ”

Originally, Su Yan didn't plan to go to the Guta Territory, but he found that if he wanted to leave the northern border, he really had to go through the Guta Fortress. And since those elven envoys of the Council of Elders were also still in the Ancient Tower Fortress, Su Yan planned to go there to meet with the other party first, and then decide whether to go to the south or the west - the former was to the Fels Kingdom, while the latter could go to the Free Federation.

As for the eastern border, because of the relationship between the Council of Elders, Su Yan no longer planned to go.

He could now be sure that Anna's mother was definitely not an elf of the Council of Elders.

"It's strange, didn't those messengers come by airship this time? Why do we need you to help deliver the letter? Stuelsen said with some confusion.

"Who knows." Su Yan shrugged, "Anyway, if you want to leave the northern border, you need to go through the ancient tower fortress, so it doesn't matter if you make a trip." ”

"Alright then, I'll wish you all the best." Stuhlson smiled and raised his glass, and touched Su Yan lightly again, "But Mr. Levy, when you and Anna find a stable place to stay, remember to write to us." ”

"Yes." Su Yan smiled and nodded.

Write a letter......

Su Yan himself had forgotten a little about the last time he wrote a letter.

But now that he hears Staulson's words, he doesn't reject it.

Because of Steulson, it can probably be regarded as the first friend Su Yan made in this world.
