Chapter 1032 - Coastal Chamber of Commerce (2)
Accompanied by the president of the Aiken clan in person, An Xiaoyu always felt like some big leaders who had come down to inspect on Imperial TV, and the authorities in small places hugged each other, and their words were full of flattery. Of course, she doesn't deny that this feeling is quite good.
Under the leadership of the president, An Xiaoyu came to the presbyterian station, in fact, it is not far, the sea is in the west of the market, the external affairs office of the Aiken Chamber of Commerce is in the east of the market, the direction out of the city is in the south of the market, and the station is located in the northernmost position facing south.
A building that is not inferior to the Chamber of Commerce's office, except that the office is not so tall, but more spacious, in order to cope with a variety of different functions. Outside of the station, there are also a lot of aliens coming and going.
A lot of slave trade had to be approved by the station, and there were many precious resources that had to be certified by the Presbyterian Church to prevent anything like black or inflated prices. There were also many caravans that needed to hire guards and servants to help them with chores outside of commerce.
An Xiaoyu's arrival obviously caused a great sensation, even if they heard that the Twilight Elves appeared in Gamai City, but these aliens did not expect that the Twilight Elves would actually come to the station. After all, the elves are also notoriously uneasy to deal with the Elders, of course, only unilaterally.
The High Elves occupy a seat in the Council of Elders, and their status is not low. It's just that most of the elves yearn for nature and feel that the rule of the Presbyterian Church is a bit against the laws of nature, and the Elders' Church has destroyed a lot of natural environments in order to coordinate resources and develop nature like learning from humans, so many elves don't look down on the Presbyterian Church very much.
But there are exceptions, right?
The alien races that come and go in Gamai City, almost all of them have a lower bloodline status than the Twilight Elves, and they can feel the life suppression brought by the human spirit body on An Xiaoyu's body. After seeing An Xiaoyu, everyone stopped what they were doing, stopped, took off their hats, and bowed their heads slightly to An Xiaoyu.
The Aiken Clan President turned a blind eye to this, and it was a common sight in foreign territory. On the contrary, there are some alien races in the crowd who are still holding their heads up, which makes An Xiaoyu very interested, and such a higher race may have the map she wants.
Glancing at An Xiaoyu, the leader of the Aiken clan whispered: "The matter of the map, let's talk about it, these people can't afford to be early, adults are not good at this, we must be careful of their rhetoric and small means, but when it comes to interests, there will always be darkness." β
An Xiaoyu glanced at the president thoughtfully, the president was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course, the transaction between us and the adults does not involve direct interests, this is a testimony of our friendship. β
Having seen the businessman's rhetoric, An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes in her heart.
For this president, An Xiaoyu didn't find out what the nature of the transaction between them was, but without saying a word, he entered the presbyterian council with him. After entering the gate, the chairman whispered something to the Jade Clan at the door, and the Jade Clan nodded, turned around and led them inside.
The president explained: "There is a special hall for mercenary affairs, and some races waiting for employment will wait directly in the hall, of course, the main thing is to choose between the hired and the tasks issued by the mercenary, I don't know what kind of race the adults want to find as their own guards?" β
"Dryads, or shadow demons." An Xiaoyu said casually.
"Dryad or Shadow Demon...... It's not easy to find. As he walked, the president said, "The dryads themselves don't like to leave the woods, unless there is some reason to do so. In the case of shadow demons, their number is not large, and the probability of encountering them is not very high. But maybe there is? Hehe. β
To put it bluntly, An Xiaoyu thought to herself that many human businessmen may not be able to be so tactful, and the Aiken clan is worthy of being the most suitable race for businessmen. didn't reply, An Xiaoyu just nodded, and didn't seem to care much about finding the guard.
Seeing that An Xiaoyu didn't want to speak, the president knew that people wanted to see actual actions, so he stopped talking.
The two of them followed the waiters of the Jade Clan to the mercenary hall, and when they entered the door, they saw rows of tables, and next to them sat some fierce-looking and burly races, which were the so-called races waiting for hire. And VIPs like An Xiaoyu must have high-level services.
It didn't take long for another Aiken clan to come out of it, with the same sword brooch hanging on his chest as on the sign at the entrance of the mercenary hall, and immediately trotted all the way to them when he saw the president: "President, why do you ...... it yourself?" Yes! Could this be the Venerable Twilight Elf? β
The leader nodded and said, "Lord Elf wants to hire a guard, I wonder if there are any tree spirits or shadow demons here?" If you have one, you can give priority to adults. β
The Aiken said, "Not really...... The task list of Dryads and Shadow Demons is good to have three or four a year, but I just haven't had one recently. But it's not necessarily none, after all, today is the first day of the Coastal Chamber of Commerce, maybe there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Adults can take a look at the other mercenaries first, maybe there are suitable ones. β
The leader of the Aiken clan turned his head to look at An Xiaoyu and asked, and An Xiaoyu also nodded. Just like they said, the tree spirit and the shadow demon are rare after all, after the Coastal Chamber of Commerce, An Xiaoyu is about to leave, it is impossible to try his luck here all the time, staying in one place for too long, after all, it is better to go deep into the mountains and forests.
Seeing An Xiaoyu nodding, the two Aiken clans led the way together, came to the side door of the hall, pushed the door and walked in. And the aliens sitting in the hall were all regretful. Of course they want to be looked at by the Twilight Elves, who is beautiful and can save their lives, and who doesn't?
After entering the side door, An Xiaoyu found that there was something else inside, some races that seemed to be more savvy were sorting out some lists, sorting them into different boxes. These boxes are specially designed to store the task list, and are divided into three compartments, each of which can be placed vertically, and the filled boxes can be stacked on top of each other, with grooves on the edges to prevent sliding.
The Aiken clan, who is in charge of the mercenary hall, explained: "There are many types of tasks in the mercenary hall, and according to the main category, they can be divided into three types: combat, life, and labor. Most of the combat classes are escort missions, and the mission content is relatively broad and varied, and many of the employment hours are very short, and the employment relationship changes frequently, and the mission content is also varied. Most of the life classes are some sprinkling, taking care of the old and young, attendants, housekeepers, etc., such races have been listed here for a long time, and the employment time is relatively long, at least a year. The employment time and frequency of labor are in between, and there are both long-term and short-term workers, which are to work hard. β
With that, they walked through the workshop where the task list was sorted out and came to its office dedicated to the person in charge. The office was quiet, the wooden furniture looked old, there were no to-do lists, just a few large loose-leaf books on a large shelf.
"These are the list of tasks that have been put together, and they will be updated three times a day, and this is what I just updated this morning, so I'll take a look, long-term guard missions...... Long-term escort missions...... Long-term guard...... Ha! Got it! β
It pulled out three loose-leaf books from the shelves and said, "There are about six hundred of them, this one is for a single person, and the other two are for a team. β
An Xiaoyu looked at the single book, she didn't need too many people, it was inconvenient for the number of people to hide. But this loose-leaf book obviously didn't have a few pages in it, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it have all been snatched away?
The Aiken clan also saw An Xiaoyu's doubts, so he explained: "Like this kind of one-person escort mission, many of them are provided to the higher races, and the guards of important people generally only need one, and the number of people needs to be too many, and their clan has its own escort team." And the long-term escort mission, and may wander around, there are not many people who are willing to do it, and the combat race is reduced to being a guard, but also to support their families, since they are to support their families, they are definitely not willing to leave their hometowns too far. And without a family's fundamental combat race, in fact, many registered escort missions cannot be successful, and they themselves also have a criminal record, which cannot be completely guaranteed here. β
An Xiaoyu understood, or his own situation was too special, if the tree spirit or the shadow demon did not have this concern, the tree spirit itself was just a forest, and the shadow demon mostly acted independently, and the relationship with the clan was not close, but unfortunately there was no now.
I can only take a look first, An Xiaoyu opened the loose page of the single guard, looking at the list from top to bottom. Aiken said: "If you want to know the details of the other party, you can directly access their information and task list, very quickly." β
An Xiaoyu nodded, but found that many of the races on it didn't know her, and those names, some of which couldn't be written in lingua franca, were mixed with a lot of strange symbols, and she was confused. So she said, "I'm not familiar with these, do you have any recommendations?" β
The head of the Aiken clan in the mercenary hall hesitated for a moment, and after getting the president's affirmation, it took the list, looked at it from top to bottom, and then named seven or eight to be selected. An Xiaoyu didn't have any opinions, and directly asked for information and task lists.
But after reading it, An Xiaoyu knew that she was still too naΓ―ve, she thought of this employment hall too perfectly, but she didn't expect that the so-called service spirit is something that only human beings can really control, and the Aiken clan has done a good job in this regard, but unfortunately the service attitude is still like that, it is simply the bloodline level.
Among these seven or eight candidates, either the racial attributes are not very suitable for He An Xiaoyu to sleep in the jungle, or the requirements put forward on the task list are strange, and the requirements for employers are still very harsh, and they don't have the attitude they should have when they are hired, which makes people feel that they are the uncle.
The person in charge of the Aiken clan was also a little embarrassed, and said: "My lord, you can't expect some big bosses who can only fight to be polite, they don't actually understand anything, and the powerful race will inevitably be arrogant, if you know that it is an adult you hire, maybe you will ......"
"Forget it." An Xiaoyu directly interrupted it: "Help me keep an eye on the Dryad and the Shadow Demon, and there are other suitable words that can also stay together, but I don't think there will be too suitable, right?" That's it, let me know if you have one, forget it if you don't. β
The two Aiken clan also know that this matter is like this, hiring and hiring, after all, the employer must be satisfied, since the elf is not satisfied, they can't directly ask each other what they think in their hearts, demand is a vague concept, and they can't do business more clearly.
Putting away the list and information, An Xiaoyu and the leader of the Aiken clan left the hiring hall, and she said, "The matter of maps and guards will trouble you, if there is news to go to the hotel to find me, the environment here is still too ...... for me It's not adaptation. β
Looking at An Xiaoyu's appearance, the Aiken clan leader nodded and said, "I know, my lord, please wait a little, if there is news, we will notify you as soon as possible." Why don't you find someone with a map, or a suitable mercenary, how about we go straight to the hotel? β
An Xiaoyu nodded, the Aiken clan did business, and it was really at home, which not only took care of An Xiaoyu's needs, but also took into account the Twilight Elf's quiet personality, and it could also save the guests a lot of trouble in entering and exiting. However, this set was obviously also learned from humans, and An Xiaoyu was a little confused.
Have they ever been to the Empire? Otherwise, how could you learn so proficiently?
But it didn't take long for her to be relieved, the alien race wanted to spy on the empire, what means didn't there? Anything can happen, learn something or something?
After returning to the hotel, An Xiaoyu let out a long breath, took off the headband on her head and put it on the table, and lay down on the mattress heavily, feeling full of exhaustion. Acting, especially acting in front of a different race, is really a physical job.
The little fox looked at An Xiaoyu's appearance, climbed into bed with some doubts, turned around next to An Xiaoyu, and then stretched out his pink little tongue and licked An Xiaoyu's forehead. Feeling itchy, An Xiaoyu laughed twice, held the little fox in her arms, and fell asleep like this not long after.
The seal has not been unlocked yet, and An Xiaoyu's body still needs sleep to recover her strength. The administrator's little jelly looked at An Xiaoyu and the little fox hugging each other, and also gently landed next to the pillow, helping An Xiaoyu to look after the surroundings to prevent any accidents.
This sleep actually slept from noon to night, when An Xiaoyu got up from the bed, she only felt that her stomach was empty, and she rubbed her eyes and was a little confused: "When did I become so able to sleep?" Could it be that something is wrong with the body? β
The administrator said: "It's not a big problem, it's just that there is no energy, and the use of the law requires the use of the essence and energy of the flesh to consume too much. If it's an ordinary person's body, you can't stand it if you use it once or twice in a row, not to mention that you have to call the law all the time, but the three times are still going on, and you will get used to it very quickly. β
An Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, woke up the little fox who was still dreaming, and went to eat below.
As a result, the president of the Aiken clan walked in from the outside with two cat people, and the cat people are also divided into many types, but they themselves don't seem to care about the difference in blood, and there are many intermarriages, which make all kinds of strange colors, so they are called the cat people by the empire.
In fact, they have all kinds of strange racial names in various colors, and there are so many patterns that foreign races don't bother to pay attention to them. However, the power of the cat people is huge, they are dexterous, smart and cunning, and all kinds of cats are good at complementing each other with different laws, and their overall combat power is strong, and they are powerful scouts and night assassins.
The bloodline of these two cat people is very pure, at first glance, they are the pure blood of the cat people, all over the body are black and shiny hair, only the position of the hands and feet is white, the body is tall and slender, full of wild beauty, which is pleasing to the eye.
Of course, An Xiaoyu couldn't stare at others, but nodded slightly, and the other party nodded indifferently. The status of the Cat People is not as high as that of the Twilight Elves, so they can come to the hotel to find An Xiaoyu, instead of An Xiaoyu taking the initiative to find them.
Seeing that the two sides had met, the president began to introduce: "These are the two distinguished guests of the Black Gold Clan, as for the names, they will be kept secret according to the requirements of the distinguished guests. They have in their hands the map that the adults want, and the area is about three thousand cities from Ferroon to the Central Territory......"
The so-called central territory is the territory of the Huang people. As the only royal family that is fully responsible for the main affairs of the alien territory, the Huang clan is simply heartbroken because of the love of the other seven royal families. They sit at the very center of the entire alien territory and are called the Central Territory.
And the Three Thousand Cities from Porferon to the Central Territory is a map of the three thousand cities and tribes near the main passage from Buffaloon to the Central Territory. Of course, these maps cannot be detailed to the top of the mountain ravine, and the so-called 3000 cities do not necessarily have a formal city structure.
But for the aliens, such a map is already quite precious, and most of the cities and tribes near a major artery are marked on it, which is already precious. Coupled with the map that An Xiaoyu got before, it means that even if she can't cure the patient of the Aiken clan, she is enough to walk half the distance of the empire from here.
An Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you two want?" β
The two cat people glanced at each other and said, "Two Light Law crystals, of course, the concentration can't be too low. β
Hearing this, An Xiaoyu frowned. If it was a life crystal, she could have taken it out, but the law of light crystallized ...... Twilight Elf is good at both of these laws, but the problem is that she's not really a Twilight Elf!
What should I do?
