Volume 1: Pride Chapter 38: Unexpected Compensation

"I didn't expect you to wake up."

Before Rita could speak, the woman standing in the middle spoke first, and her flat tone was nothing but some surprise.

"...... you" Rita wanted to ask who the person in front of her was, but when she noticed Angel among them, she instantly reacted, "You saved me?" ”

Although the injuries on her body have healed for unknown reasons, it is undeniable that the bandages were tied to her body when she woke up, and combined with her own experience and Thor's narrative, she naturally understood that it was these people in front of her who saved her.

"It seems that your brain has cleared up, now you are relieved, right?"

Dalena put her hands on her chest with a cold face, although she never took her eyes off herself, Rita also knew that this sentence was not said to herself. Glancing at the well-behaved Angel, Rita immediately made a decision.

"Do you want to go somewhere with me?"

"Huh? Where? Dalena hooked her lips, apparently intrigued by what Rita had said.

"You'll know when I go, but before I do that, I need to pay a trip to Morlinson." waved and walked directly with Thor over the five people, as if he didn't care if a few people followed.

"Captain, shall we follow?" Seeing the two of them walking away, Aprili suddenly stepped forward and asked.

"Sister Ye, what do you think?"

Faced with April's question, Dalena did not answer easily, but turned her head to look at Ye Lianli beside her. After several rounds of training in the past two days, Dalena can be said to be a lot more cautious in a certain aspect, at least before doing anything, she will ask Ye Lianli for advice, and then ...... What to do or how to do it.

"You're the captain."

The implication is that you just make the decision, I only look at the process and the result, and if it doesn't work, I'll discuss it when the time comes.

Dalena twitched the corners of her mouth, although she didn't know why she could understand so many meanings in just four words, but she believed that as long as she dared to mess around, the end would definitely be difficult, at least she couldn't run away with a broken speech.

"Forget it, let's go along and take a look, it just so happens that I'm also curious about what kind of person this princess of the dead country is."

"Let's go, then." As expected, Yelena didn't object to anything, but silently followed Dalena with Bernice.

"Let's go too."

Bernice's soft voice rang in her ears, and Angel glanced up and nodded, "Hmm." ”

……

Morlinson, Mercenary Guild

Rita stood at the front desk window and handed over the information card in her hand, this time the waiter was not the same as last time, and looked more mature.

"It's rude, it's Miss Livita, and the vice president told you to go to the second floor if you come over."

"Second floor? Isn't it just a direct assignment? Rita asked with some confusion as she took the card from the waiter's hand.

"I don't know about this either, but I'll know the details until Miss Livita meets the vice president." With a decent but polite smile, the waiter explained patiently in the face of Rita's question.

"That's good."

Rita nodded, and then turned around and walked towards the corner of the hall, since the vice president wanted to see her, there must be something to say, and since that was the case, she also needed to talk to Dalena and the others in advance.

"The vice president wants to see you?"

"Well, I'll have to hand him over a mission." Rita didn't care about Dalena's attitude in a deep voice, after all, she was just here to inform her, "If you don't want to wait too long, you can go to the business district first, and I'll look for you when it's over." ”

"No, we don't have anything to buy, we're waiting for you here."

"That's up to you." After saying that, Rita turned around and went to the second floor with Saul.

"Won't the captain go along and take a look?"

"No, you don't." Dalena shook her head directly at Bernice's proposal, and the whole person seemed a little interested.

……

Upstairs, the vice president, who had already noticed the movement downstairs, was also a little excited after seeing Rita at this time: "I'm relieved to see you come back safely." ”

"Vice President, what are you...... Is something happening? ”

Seeing the vice president pulling herself to the sofa, Rita couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and she always felt that there was a trace of ...... hidden under that sneering expression Guilty?

"Actually...... Ahem, in fact, the task that was given to you before, because the publisher lied about the truth, so the description of the task is wrong. Speaking of this, the vice president glanced at Rita with some weakness, "And according to the re-estimated level, it should be a fourth-level task." ”

Fourth-level mission, the corresponding mercenary level is the king level, and even now Rita's level is only the bronze level with zero points, and judging from the data card, he is a newcomer who has never completed the task.

"The vice president doesn't have to feel too guilty, although he got the wrong level of the task, he ...... in the end."

"You're done!" The vice president's eyes widened, looking at Rita in disbelief, and he circled around her a few times by the way, "Wait, you brought this kid?" ”

Glancing at the little guy sitting beside her, Rita nodded, then grabbed one of his hands and comforted him softly: "Don't be too nervous, just treat it as a strange uncle." ”

Strange uncle......

The corners of the vice president's mouth twitched slightly, although he was a little speechless about Rita's way of coaxing the child, but he didn't say anything.

"I brought this child out of Buling, and as for that village...... He was the only one left when I arrived. ”

"I see...... "Unconsciously, the vice president's voice was also dyed with a little sadness, and the gaze that looked at Thor was also a little sympathetic, "But how did you kill those mutant beasts?" Judging from the latest information, there are more than just one or two there. ”

"It's also lucky that I was rescued, otherwise not only this child, I'm afraid even I myself would be difficult to come back, and thanks to them, the mission this time has also been completed."

"Haha, Miss Rita is modest, you must know that it is not good to have strength as a mercenary, sometimes luck is much more important than strength." The vice president laughed twice, and his eyes, which were not very big, narrowed into a slit at this time, "As for the reward for this mission......

"Any questions?"

Seeing that the vice president mentioned the issue of remuneration, Rita also became serious in an instant, after all, she was originally taking the task for money.

"There are a few problems, but Miss Rita can rest assured that this will not affect your compensation." The vice president tugged at the beard that wasn't long and still smiled, and he had checked a lot of information about Rita during this time, so he could guess some things in general.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." got the assurance she wanted, and Rita also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no matter what, there must be no problem with this money, otherwise even if she can earn it again, but those people are ......

"Regarding the remuneration, on the one hand, it is as it was, but considering the guild's mistakes in this regard, I decided to compensate you in the name of the guild, and the difference in compensation will be paid according to the original fourth-level task."

"Ah, this ......"

"You don't have to rush to say no first." Seeing that Rita stood up in a panic and looked like she wanted to refuse, the vice president directly pressed her shoulder, and pretended to be serious, "Even if you don't want to accept it, you have to think about those people, aren't they still waiting for you?" ”

"That'...... All right. Rita nodded, although she didn't know how the man in front of her knew about these things, but it was true that as the vice president said, with this money, those who were saved by her would be able to support the next harvest season.

"Well, if you solve the problem of money, only your mercenary level remains, and since the information at the time of task collection is level two, it is naturally impossible for you to be directly promoted to the king level." As he spoke, the vice president took the time to glance at Rita's expression, and when he saw her serious look, he also smiled a little, "But considering that it is a special situation, you can raise your level from bronze to gold, presumably with your current strength, you should be able to reach this level." The rest of the compensation is points, although I don't know how much, but I think it should be enough for a king-level task assessment. ”

"Ah, thank you so much."

After listening to the vice president's words, Rita hurriedly stood up and thanked her, she had read the mercenary manual, and naturally knew how many points were needed for a king-level task assessment. If you want to save these points, it will take as little as three or five years, and as many as ten years or even longer. The Mercenary Guild's decision undoubtedly saved her a lot of time, and she could use this extra time to improve her strength.

"You deserve this."

This time, the vice president just shook his head slightly and didn't say anything, but his gaze shifted slightly, and then fell on Thor's body: "Are you going to take this little guy there too?" ”

"That's right, I can't keep him with me after all." Rita hooked her lips and smiled, rubbing the top of Thor's head with one hand, and at this time, Thor saw the two talking about himself, so he also raised his head and looked at Rita.

"That's fine, after all, your whereabouts are erratic, and this kind of life is also a little detrimental to the growth of children. In addition, I heard that the Duchy of Otto has never given up the idea of arresting you, although you are defined as death, but the attitude of the ruler of the Duchy of Otto is to see people alive and dead to see corpses. ”

"Do you want to see people alive or dead to see corpses......" Rita muttered twice, then chuckled, "It's no wonder, after all, I am the princess of the Duchy of Evel, and as long as I exist for a day, they will never be at ease." ”
