Chapter 12: Ascension in 13 Half a Year and concerns about Alyssa
I've been a full-fledged mercenary since the last time I fell in the valley, and the rank of the apprentice mercenary around my neck has been changed to 'Bronze', and I'm sorry about the Antler's quest issued by the Hunter Order, I don't know how Alyssa and Casare handled it.... In short, this matter is over...... Rather, it is my new life, a new task, to me and.... Remember, I was just an otaku before, and I didn't have any combat experience, and those like the previous ones didn't count as combat..... Why two punches when one punch can solve the problem...... Since 99 percent of my power was sealed, the one-punch knockout was far away from me...... Sometimes I wonder what would happen if my power wasn't sealed?
At first, after not having the strength to kill with one hit, he couldn't even beat the leader of the carnivorous dragon..... With Alyssa's help, I learned the guerrilla technique, to hit and run... If you chase it, hit it again, and then run again..... In this way, I stabbed the leader of a carnivorous dragon to death with a dagger..... It is also possible to lose too much blood..... For the killing of living things..... To be honest, I don't feel anything, alive is a monster, dead is a corpse, that's all ....
On the contrary, I am quite satisfied with my current life...... Get up in the morning to learn literacy, then go to the union, get tasks, do tasks, hand in tasks .... Generally one day is enough.... Sometimes it will be two to three days.... Bronze-level tasks are not difficult, it's more convenient to kill, and after you die, drop the monster's blood on the task list, even if you complete it, like some special tasks.... Especially some spare parts on the monster.... It must be dissected..... On the contrary, Alyssa, the general mission is about 7 days, and every time she comes back....., she will have a very serious injury on her body!
When I first fought with the carnivorous dragon, I was also injured, and after more contact, a monster like the carnivorous dragon was basically in a harmless existence.... Alyssa is a veteran mercenary, and it is a basic ability to ensure that she is not harmed, and occasionally once or twice is still within the scope of understanding, but every time she is seriously injured..... I don't really believe that Alyssa could make such a mistake with her ability.....!
Do you know this kind of thing? It's a very mysterious existence, I obviously feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what the problem is!
"This bracelet of yours is very beautiful, where did you buy it? By the way, Miss Alyssa seems to have one too!"
In a word, in fact, this is a double ban bracelet, and the special ability of the person with it will be sealed with 99% of the power, and only the two sides with the bracelet can unlock it, (Note: After the bracelet is worn, it cannot be removed within a year..... But it's for two people! At the time, I asked Alyssa if it would affect her as well, and she said no! And I believed it..... How did I believe it......
After that, every time Alyssa went on a mission, I would be scared...... I also told her that there is a way to take it off in advance.... She just shook her head, and I said, "I'll take it off after that year!" She only said one thing: "After a year, if you have the strength to match your strength, you can take it off!" I can only be silent, and then I can only do more tasks! From carnivorous dragons to long-haired beasts, to ichthyosaurs..... Anyway, it's all the monsters of the bronze level, I started to do it, and I did it desperately! In half a year, I completed a total of 163 tasks! I don't remember if I ever rested, and before I knew it, my desire to talk began to decrease, and my eyes began to become sharper! The only thing that hasn't changed in the past six months is that every time I come back from a mission, I will ask Bill, "Is Alyssa back?" As long as I said back, the big stone in my heart fell to the ground..... However this time.....
"Haven't you come back yet?" It's the fourteenth day.....
"Not yet, don't worry!, maybe I'll be back tomorrow...."Bill's answer was the same as yesterday.....
"......." is becoming more and more uneasy......
"However, your upgrade quest has already come down......," Bill said to me, "if you do, you can just get the quest with Bes." ”
I glanced at him and walked over to the board.......
"Hello, Mr. Jack, your upgrade mission has come down, do you need to claim it?"
"Wait a minute, Sister Bes, do you know where Alyssa has gone?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jack, Miss Alyssa's assignment was received on the second floor, you need to go to the second floor to have a look...."
"Okay, thank you!" I said, and I walked to the second floor.....
The layout of the second floor is not the same as the first floor, there are boxes here, but there are few people, there are billboards.... But there is no one!
"No Kanban girl?" I was stunned for a moment....
"There is no Kanban on the second floor. At this time, a big man explained, "Because there are not many tasks on the second floor, the tasks are directly pasted on the billboard, and the mercenaries can pick them up by themselves and sign them..."
"These are all kept secret, except for the mercenaries themselves, only the people of the union know about ....."
...... Scammed...... I scratched my head and had to walk to the first floor......
I was in a bad mood, full of worry and anger, but I was inexplicably calm,...... You need to know where she's gone! I can't panic!
Half a year ago, I should have rushed downstairs to question... Thank you for this half a year's hunting experience and Alyssa's careful guidance.... Alyssa said, "In any case, you can't panic, you need to think about what is most important at the moment, and then act on it!" This is my hunting dogma, and now it seems to be gradually becoming my way of doing things......
.......
"Please, just tell me where my daughter is! She hasn't been home for half a month! Just tell me!" This is a gray-haired father, Shaw Howard!"It was my bad attitude before, just tell me!"
I've been amazed! I've met this gentleman, Alyssa's father! I've been here on a previous mission! I've always felt like I'm superior to others because I'm rich.... I haven't spoken to him, and I don't want to have too much crossover, my friendship with Alyssa is between us, and I don't really like this person, so I don't know where Alyssa's home is until now! In order to know the whereabouts of his daughter, he is begging softly.....
"I'm really sorry, sir!" said Biss with a smile on her face.
I was going to ask again, but now that Alyssa's father is here, I won't go at all..... It's really a good calculation, I should have seen him, so I put the second floor of my branch.... She knew that I didn't like this man, and according to my character, I would never come close, so she acted like this....... It's really calculating.....
But..... I found something interesting....... Hongyi looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.......
.......
In the end, I chose to wait!
.......
"Mr. Jack, do you have anything?" Hongyi looked surprised when she saw me.
"I want to know Alyssa's whereabouts. "I try to suppress my emotions and not let them explode....
Hong Yi showed a tangled expression....... "I'm sorry, Mr. Jack, I can't tell you!"
"It's Alyssa who changed my days of eating and waiting for death, I don't want her to be in danger, please tell me!" I said, bending my legs and kneeling down......
"Mr. Jack, you can't do this, you ....." Hongyi supported me in a panic, subconsciously looked into my eyes, and met their eyes.....
"Please...."
"I ......."
