Chapter 12: A Glimpse
After registering as a trainee adventurer in the adventurer area, Leon was about to go to the recruiting office of the adventurer team on the right side of the hall to see if there was a suitable team of adventurers to recruit regular members. As soon as I reached the center of the Adventurer's Guild Hall, I heard a loud noise from the mission area ahead. The Adventurer's Hall, which was originally relatively quiet, was immediately shattered by the hustle and bustle. Everyone in the hall looked in this direction, and Leon turned his gaze to the mission area.
I only saw that in the bustling crowd, a man in black was running in his direction. I only saw the black figure, shuttling left and right in the crowd, light as a swallow, dexterous figure, dodging the adventurers who stood in front of him one by one. And the people chasing behind him are also trying to push away the adventurer, trying to surround this person. At the same time, from time to time there were loud shouts, "Catch him, this is this thief." "Whoever helped catch her, our Excalibur mercenary group must be very grateful."
When the people saw this, they were afraid to avoid it, and they all hid in both directions. As if flowing water, a passage appeared in the middle of the crowd. Seeing that the man in black was about to break out of the crowd. At this time, Leon's position, which was closest to the hall's doorway, was the first to bear the brunt. As long as you get past yourself and move forward, it is the exit of the adventurer's union.
Leon only heard one of the chasing men desperately shouting to him, "Hey, boy, stop her." I'm Thom of the Excalibur Mercenary Regiment, as long as you stop her, I'll reward you with an essence-level magic essence as a thank you! ”
Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men, and even many adventurers who were originally watching the play on the side couldn't help but move their bodies under this call. An essence-level magic essence! For most beginner adventurers, a piece of equipment that has been successfully enchanted with an essence-level magic essence will definitely be an extremely important piece of equipment for themselves. And it has greatly improved its own strength.
Leon looked at the black figure that was rushing towards him, and saw that she was dressed in a black leather coat, with a black scarf on her face, a graceful figure, a thin body, and she looked a little delicate. Seeing Leon standing in front of the exit, holding a shield in her left hand and a staff in her right, she moved her hands. Leon only felt two cold lights flashing, and looked at the person in front of him as if there was a pair of blades in his hands. Leon's heart tightened, and he involuntarily assumed a fighting posture.
Looking at the man in black who was getting closer and closer, Leon stared into this person's eyes, and at that moment, Leon, who felt sensitive, saw a trace of calmness and determination in those dark eyes. Just as the two were about to make contact, Leon put away the scepter in his right hand and put on a defensive posture with a shield in his left hand. Then he took a diagonal step to the right, gently avoiding the black man who was rushing forward.
The two staggered, and both of them did not move as if they were very tacit.
Leon tilted his head sideways, still staring at those beautiful jewel-like eyes, and Leon smiled kindly. The two looked at each other, and he saw a trace of imperceptible kindness in each other's eyes. The figure of the man in black rushed straight to the exit of the hall behind him. After passing by Leon's side, Leon felt a gust of wind coming, Leon sniffed his nose and said to himself, "It smells so good!" ”
"Hey, what are you doing? How can you dodge and not stop her. You kid, you dare not listen to the words of our Excalibur mercenary group. Boy, you are very bold, do you dare not care about the words of my Excalibur Mercenary Regiment Thom? Don't you give me face? Looking at the back of the man in black who was far away, the people who knew that the pursuit was hopeless stopped their pursuit. Surrounding Leon, who was standing alone in the middle of the hall, a large man armed with a giant axe said viciously. Listening to the voice, it was probably Thom who had just shouted out some Excalibur mercenary group for him to stop the thief.
Leon knew that eighty percent of them were this group of people, and seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, he came to vent his anger on himself. As the saying goes, how can a person not bow his head under the eaves? For Leon, who has just been transferred, this unheard of Excalibur mercenary group, and Thom, who is famous at first glance, is not something that a rookie can provoke by himself, so for the sake of today, he can only show weakness to the enemy.
Thinking of this, Leon said to the giant man Thom who had just spoken: "Your Excellency, you are here, you don't know, just now I saw this damn thief, showing two daggers, and at that moment he showed a powerful murderous aura, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to move." I don't take the Excalibur mercenary group in my eyes, and I don't listen to you, Lord Thom. I don't have enough strength, you see I only successfully changed jobs yesterday, and today I just registered as a trainee adventurer. Looking at her fierce look, I can't even lift a shield! Sir, have mercy on me! I've never seen it, a rookie in the world, and I'm still a child! My lord, I was very familiar with the Excalibur Mercenary Regiment at that time. You've admired you for a long time in my heart, and I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, Lord Thom, are your mercenary groups still recruiting? I'm just a little timid, I can do laundry, I can cook, I can rub my feet and beat my back, in addition, my basic skills are still very solid, and my body is also good, my lord, can you let me join the mercenary group? Leon feigned fear, and cried out to the giant man with a handful of snot and tears.
This world is not a game, and it is impossible to know your level and equipment at a glance. Except for special skills, most people can't rely on their first senses to judge the strength of a person. The people of this Excalibur mercenary group are just rushing to the doctor, and seeing Leon in a critical position is the last glimmer of hope to catch the hateful thief. But I never expected that this glamorous paladin was a silver-like wax spear head, which was useless. It's just a rookie who has just changed jobs.
Thom, who has always called himself a hero, looked at the frightened and even spineless rookie in front of him, and scratched his head with a headache, he didn't want to be said that he was an intermediate soldier who only dared to bully the little rookie, and he would be laughed at by others.
Thinking of this, Thom looked at the crowd on the side, then cleared his throat and said, "Little rookie, since you know each other so well, you are still a child who has just successfully changed jobs. I'm not embarrassed for you, so as not to let people call me a big hero but bully a rookie. As for you, you're going to join our Excalibur mercenary group. With your current strength, it's still far behind, learn from the Yellow Emperor to exercise and exercise your courage. ”
Nonsense, the Excalibur mercenary group is not something that any cat or dog can come in, this little rookie looks extremely timid, and has no backbone at all, our mercenary group will not recruit such people. Thom looked at Leon disdainfully, thinking to himself.
Speaking of mercenary groups, it can be regarded as another form of adventure group, these people are mostly fixed personnel, different from the adventure group focused on completing the tasks of the adventure guild, more focused on adventure and exploration, mercenary groups undertake any task, as long as you can afford to pay commissions, as long as they think it is appropriate, the mercenary group can help you explore, eliminate monsters, help you fight against other forces, help you kill, and even help you rebel against the country.
And the Excalibur Mercenary Group, even if it is a mercenary group that is quite famous, this big man Tom who is armed with a giant axe is a squad leader, a warrior who has just been promoted to an intermediate professional.
At this time, a thin man said to Thom: "Captain, this is the thief, we surrounded the land of bones, and when the blood bird still had little blood left, we cleaned up the dead body summoned by the blood bird, she took advantage of our defenselessness and killed the blood bird in a sneak attack, I saw her pick up the demon crystal and a magic essence that burst out." The demon crystal is so obvious, I can't be mistaken, and I don't know what level that magic essence is. I've been keeping an eye on the Adventurer's Guild since I came back, and I just saw her take out a piece of demon crystal to complete the commission. I don't know what she looks like, but she was dressed the same as she was that day, not to mention that she took out a quick demon crystal, it must be her. It's a pity to let her run away! ”
