Chapter 5: A New Task for Headaches

Early the next morning, An Xu was ready to go out.

"I'll go out to do something, and I'll stay at home obediently during the day, don't run around, do you know?" Before leaving, An Xu repeatedly told An Xin.

Usually when he goes out, he usually sends An Xin to the academy, An Xin's teacher, the elderly old therapist, likes An Xin's student very much, and usually takes care of her, at least it is very safe in the academy, An Xu doesn't have to worry. But it just so happened that the city where the therapist college was located was closed today, and An Xin had no choice but to stay at home.

"Got it, brother!" An Xin was sitting on the bed eating breakfast, her calves were shaking, and when she saw An Xu going out, she raised her head and asked, "Is my brother coming back for dinner at noon?" ”

In An Xin's impression, An Xu will be at least a whole day once he goes out.

"It depends, come back if there is nothing special, remember to close the door at home alone!" An Xu tied his package around his waist and turned to go out.

As soon as I went out, I was about to go to the bounty hall to see if there was anything suitable to do, but as soon as I turned around, An Xu felt like I had hit something.

"Ahh

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?" An Xu's heart tightened, whose children were running around, why didn't parents pay attention to it, he hurriedly took a step forward, ready to help the little boy in front of him, who looked like he was only eight or nine years old.

As a result, the other party got up as soon as he was bone, and he was so agile that even An Xu was a little ashamed.

"Hey! Big man, can't you be a little more careful when you walk? The child stood up, patted the dust on his body carefully, and looked back at An Xu and said dissatisfiedly.

Only then did An Xu see clearly that the other party's eyes were actually blue, although he looked like a child on the outside, he was fully equipped, with leather armor on his body, a short dagger stuck in his waist, and a delicate crossbow hanging on his back, a standard mercenary dress! Looking at the other party's old-fashioned appearance again, An Xu suddenly woke up-

What kind of kid is this, it's clearly a bit person.

Bit people are actually close relatives of human beings, they are born petite, even adult Bit people are only a little more than a meter tall, plus the Bit people have delicate facial features and good skin, making them look like dolls. The only difference is that the ears of the bits are relatively long, and they usually hang low, and when they are angry, they stand up high, which is very interesting.

But don't underestimate this race, although they are not strong in hand-to-hand combat, they are natural craftsmen and alchemists, they make bows and crossbows that can easily penetrate thick armor, and even they have made many powerful alchemy weapons, which people dare not look down on.

Hidden Moon City can occasionally see some bits, their kingdom is built behind the mountains to the east, some adventurous bitts will run to Hidden Moon City to travel, bitts are born excellent mercenaries, their racial expertise can always come in handy in the wild.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, I didn't notice you! I apologize to you! An Xu said embarrassedly, but he was not too nervous in his heart, the bitts are well-known for their good tempers, as long as you don't deliberately provoke them, they will never care.

Sure enough, seeing that An Xu's apology was very sincere, this bit man immediately dissipated his anger and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, I'm not injured anyway, pay attention next time don't hit people again!" ”

He said earnestly, just with that baby face, it looked a little funny, and An Xu finally managed to endure not showing a smile on his face, which was very impolite behavior and easy to cause misunderstanding on the other party.

The bit didn't talk to An Xu much, and quickly turned around and left, An Xu didn't take this matter to heart, looked at the time and saw that it was not early, and walked quickly towards the bounty office.

When he arrived at the hall, it was as lively as ever, An Xu still walked straight to the innermost counter, and the old mercenary was always the loldest in front of him.

"Senior Yang, is there any task that suits me today?" An Xu inquired for news.

"You kid, aren't you going to take a break when you just came back?" Yang Lie shook his head, took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to An Xu: "Mercenaries should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, your state is not suitable for doing some dangerous work, well, here are some simple tasks, see if there is anything you can see!" ”

An Xu took it embarrassedly, he had indeed fought some recently, and the old mercenary said this for his own sake, which made his heart warm.

Most of the lists are simple tasks, such as finding lost pets, caring for babies who are alone at home, helping someone's family repair a broken roof, etc., and most of them can be done without even leaving the city.

Of course, the reward for such a task is also very small, and most veteran mercenaries do not look down on it, and generally only those who are novice will be interested in such a mission.

But this is also in line with An Xu's mind, I was ready to rest for a few days, and I came to the reward hall just to stop by, and it was not bad to do some simple primary tasks, so I just took the time to accompany An Xin at home, this little girl was already very dissatisfied with her long-term absence.

I just don't know how much experience points such a task gives, since I know the function of the badge, An Xu is looking forward to quickly gaining experience points to enhance himself.

Although it can be roughly guessed that those dangerous tasks may give the most experience, but An Xu is more cautious, it was helpless to go desperate before, but now that he has a new goal, then safety should be put first, even if the experience value is less, he can always become stronger and stronger.

When you are strong enough to be sure, it's not too late to tackle those difficult tasks, and when you think about it, these simple tasks may be just right for you now.

After browsing carefully, An Xu found such a few tasks at the end of the list, all of which were related to what An Xin said.

One of them was issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and it was a good reward to assist the city guards in capturing the beasts that had scurried into the city, providing effective clues or directly dealing with the beasts; Several other missions are similar, such as some wealthy merchants living in the area where the incident occurred, recruiting mercenaries to help keep the house safe, and so on.

Although the remuneration is higher, An Xu has no intention of wading into troubled waters, firstly, this task has a relatively high risk factor, and secondly, such a task is not suitable for a scattered mercenary like him, generally this kind of task is taken over by many powerful mercenary squads, and it is difficult for a single person to take advantage of it.

The only way was to form a team temporarily, but An Xu had already made up his mind not to touch this dangerous bounty task for the time being, so these tasks were abandoned by him.

Suddenly, An Xu's eyes lit up, and he found a nice task at the end of the list.

β€”β€”The Spell Department of the Demon Martial Arts Academy of Hidden Moon City recruits actual combat sparring partners, a total of two courses, with a salary of 5 gold coins for one hour, requiring professional shield warriors, strong bodies and actual combat experience are preferred!

This is a great bounty!

This kind of sparring partner, to put it bluntly, is just to be a sandbag, and the students of the Spell Department of the Demon Martial Arts Academy are all children of rich families, because if there is no certain economic foundation in this place, it is impossible to enter the Demon Martial Arts Academy to study.

Practical training is one of their courses.

It can be inferred from this bounty task alone that they should be preparing for a mage's actual combat training on how to deal with shield warriors, such a task is actually not easy, it is difficult for an ordinary mercenary to deal with the bombardment of spells, and injury is almost inevitable, even if the other party is a group of students in the academy.

But compared to the high remuneration of 5 gold coins for an hour, this kind of work is more worthwhile, and what makes An Xu like the most is that this task seems to be more difficult, but in fact, it will not be life-threatening.

Classes in the academy will always have strong instructors present, and if they get out of control, they will step in to stop the danger from happening.

Compared with other high-paying tasks, just a small injury can get such a large amount of money, which is almost a sure thing, and there is no need to travel far, which is exactly what An Xu wants.

He immediately took a fancy to this task, and the vacation he had prepared was also left behind him.

After paying attention, An Xu put the paper back in front of the counter and put his finger on the last row of the list: "Senior, has anyone taken this task?" ”

Yang Lie glanced at it, nodded and said, "You kid is quite discerning, this task is quite good, but most people don't like to deal with the children of the family very much, so no one has taken over yet!" How's that, decided to give it a try? ”

"Yes, Senpai! Please help me with the formalities! An Xu said seriously.

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, go to the Demon Martial Academy to report, old man, I am still very optimistic about you! When the time comes, go directly to Miss Birou and she will tell you how to do it! The old mercenary made a stroke on the paper, indicating that someone had already taken over the task, and then raised his head and smiled at An Xu: "You kid is blessed, Teacher Birou is a famous beauty in our Hidden Moon City, this is an opportunity to get close to each other!" If those bastards knew that it was Teacher Birou's class, they probably would rush to take on this task without paying! ”

An Xu smiled noncommittally, he knew that the old mercenary was joking with him, and if he did, he would be a fool.

The teacher of the Spell Department of the Demon Martial Academy, what a noble person, even those family members have to be cautious, and mercenaries like them are completely people from two worlds. Most mercenaries will probably spend their entire lives without any interaction with such a character.

Hurried home, An Xin was lying in front of the window in a daze with her cheeks, there was originally a kitten to play with her, but now the cat is gone, An Xu also asked Bingyan what was going on, but Bingyan didn't know, saying that the badge had no teleportation function at all, and it was impossible for a living creature to disappear out of thin air.

An Xu had to forget about this matter for the time being, the world is so big, how can he find it without any clues?

Lunch was a hearty stewed green bean with wild boar, because he took another well-paid task, An Xu was no longer so economical, and improved the food of the two brothers and sisters, and the delicious food made An Xin couldn't help but eat an extra bowl.

"Brother, I want to go see Dai'er in the afternoon!" An Xin put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at An Xu with blank eyes. Ever since Daile got sick, the little girl has been thinking about it every day.

"Go ahead! There's some fruit on the cupboard, I just bought it, you can bring some to Dale! An Xu drank the soup, waved his hand and said, Daer's house is next door and there is nothing to worry about, if An Xin is locked up at home, maybe she will sneak out, it is better to follow her wishes, it is boring to be bored at home.

"Yay! Brother is the best! An Xin immediately jumped off the stool, and didn't forget to tie her new hairband before going out, it seemed that she was going to find Dai'er to show off.

"Don't run around!" An Xu didn't forget to go back and tell again.

"Got it!" When An Xin replied, the person had already rushed out, leaving only a faint voice in the distance.

Shield warriors?

An Xu just began to think about tomorrow's mission, he would use the shield, he had also acted as a shield warrior when he went out on a mission, and he had some actual combat experience, but he met the requirements.

There is also a thick wooden shield he used in the house, but many places have been damaged, and it is definitely not suitable. It seems that I have to prepare a thick shield in the afternoon, and if you want to resist the mage's attack, an ordinary shield will not work.

Thinking of tomorrow's scene, An Xu couldn't help but have a headache.
