Chapter 06: Adventurer's Guild (3)
Walking out of the gate of the Adventurer's Guild, Andrew suddenly stopped.
Christina looked back at him, "What's wrong?"
Andrew said casually, "I suddenly remembered that I had a friend here, and I had to go see him. ”
"What ......," Christina asked hesitantly, "shall we go together?"
"No, this friend of mine doesn't like to meet strangers very much. Andrew shook his head and said, "You know, great people always have some weird fetishes. Wait for me at home, and I'll be back in a moment. ”
"Do you know the way, do you need me to take you there?"
"No, I can go myself. ”
"But you didn't know the way when you first came. ”
"Uh...... Now I know the way, I just recognized. I'll be back in a minute. After saying that, Andrew smiled, just an expression of non-argument.
Christina hesitated, but could only nod: "Okay." Then I'll wait for you at home. ”
"Go ahead. Andrew waved his hand at her.
Christina walked, one step at a time, the kind of walk that turned back three times, her eyes full of dependence.
Andrew looked at her with a smile.
After walking some distance, Christina ran back again: "Why don't I go with you?" I can wait for you outside the door without going in. ”
Andrew could only patiently explain: "My friend would be angry if he knew that I was bringing someone else to meet him." ”
"Then I can hide it and keep it from him. ”
"He's going to find out. ”
Christina held out a finger: "I can keep a hundred meters away from you!"
Andrew looked at her with a blank face.
Christina held out two fingers: "Two hundred meters?"
Andrew still looked at her with a blank face.
The two were at a stalemate.
After a while, after making sure that Andrew was not ready to change his mind, Christina finally lowered her head helplessly, looked lonely, turned around and walked back silently alone, still turning back three times in one step. The girl, who had just been smiling, suddenly became as if she was about to cry.
Andrew was helpless, so he could only take a deep breath and shouted at her, "You go back first, make lunch and wait for me." It's going to take you a long time to cook, and it's just right to go back now. I will be back soon. ”
"Okay......" Christina nodded, "I'll wait for you at home." ”
After dragging on for a long time, Christina finally disappeared from Andrew's field of vision, and Andrew finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What is this guy doing? I'll just walk away for a while, making it look like I'm going to die." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Adventurers' Guild.
Does Andrew have friends in Lin Lopez?
Just kidding, if it weren't for Christina, he wouldn't even know the name of the place. It's a ghost to have friends here.
"She can't pick it up, so I'll pick it up. There are a lot of ways, but it's best not to use them indiscriminately, in case you offend people, it won't be easy to mix in this area in the future. The key to her messed up reputation, I'll have to help her rebuild it. ”
Walking into the Adventurer's Guild, Andrew went straight to the previous Adventurer's Hall and found the captain of the guard just now.
Spreading his hands, Andrew said to him, "I've sent her away." ”
"Thank goodness. The chief guard breathed a sigh of relief.
"I should thank you, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known anything about her. I only know that she is a dragon, and I think that with her, the task will be much easier. Hooking the shoulder of the chief of guard, Andrew looked familiar and asked with a smile, "What should I do now?" I mean, I want to sign up for a mercenary group and sign up with you by the way. ”
"You want to sign a contract with us? However, we usually only sign contracts with mercenary groups with certain achievements. It has to be at least a third-level mercenary group. After thinking about it, the chief guard said, "Maybe you can take on the racing mission." ”
"Racing mission?" Andrew frowned and asked suspiciously, "Probably...... What do you mean?"
The head of the guard patiently explained: "It is a task that many people take at the same time, and only the one who completes it first will get a commission. This kind of task is generally reluctant to be accepted by large mercenary groups, after all, everyone has an accident. That's why our racing missions are open to unsigned mercenary groups. ”
Andrew slowly narrowed his eyes and thought.
The chief guard hurriedly continued: "Sir, you are a blood elf, and I believe in your strength very much. But we only sign with a third-level mercenary group at a minimum, that's the rule. I broke an exception once before, just because...... Christina, you know, it didn't turn out well. So, now even if a dragon comes, we can't make an exception. In fact, with your strength, you can quickly increase the level of the mercenary group, and you can do it with a maximum of ten racing missions. Some tasks are even just one. ”
"Okay, then I'll take on the racing mission. Patting the head of the guard on the shoulder, Andrew wanted to go inside.
"Wait, sir!" the chief of the guard hurriedly shouted.
Andrew's foot paused in mid-air.
"Sir, you have to register for the mercenary group first, and you have to get to the top floor here. You go up and see it. Call the Adventurer Service Center. We can't register here. ”
"Okay, thanks for the reminder. Andrewton's mid-air feet spun back and smiled as he brushed shoulders with the head of the guard.
No doubts, that's good.
If they suspect that they are colluding with Christina and take the task to Christina, then there is no way to do it.
Not...... It doesn't seem that it can't be done, and you can also change to an adventurer's hall, and the guards in other places don't recognize you anyway. But if they send an announcement or something, it's over. Let a sleeping dog lie.
Staggering to the top floor, Andrew quickly found what the chief guard called the "Adventurer Service Center". It was a long counter with four uniformed human maidens sitting inside. On the other side of the counter, there are four stools lined up. At this moment, only one of the stools on the far left was sitting on a person, followed by four adventurers in leather armor, as if some mercenary group was going through the formalities.
The other three stools were empty, and the three corresponding human maidens were chatting and giggling.
"Hi, there. Andrew walked to the far right stool and sat down: "I want to register a mercenary group, what should I do?"
"You...... Hello, just come to us and go through the formalities. The human girl at the counter turned red with a swipe on her face.
No way, the characteristics of elves, the beauty of men and women, are extremely lethal to humans. This is especially true for those who are not deeply involved in the world.
Andrew looked at her with a smile on his face and said softly, "I don't understand anything, can you teach me?"
"Of course you can!" the human girl almost cheered, and began to rummage through the information.
At this moment, a middle-aged aunt with an explosive head walked over and gently waved her hand to the girl. The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed to Andrew and got up to leave.
The aunt sat down in front of Andrew and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, our tellers are not experienced enough to cause you trouble." ”
Helpless, Andrew could only take a deep breath and replied expressionlessly: "It's okay, I like her a lot." ”
The next answer is very routine. From beginning to end, the aunt had the same expression, as if she was wearing a mask.
"What do you think of as a mercenary group?"
"The Dragon and the ...... No, no, no, the Blood Elves and the Dragon Mercenary Regiment. Yes, that's the name. ”
"Who's the leader?"
"That's me, Duru. ”
"Where's the group member?"
"Can't I be alone?"
"No, we have a rule that there must be five people to sign up for the mercenary group. A person is called an independent adventurer. ”
"Can't you set up first and then recruit members?"
"No, you can't. ”
"Then I'll give you four names, right?"
"No, they have to come themselves. Otherwise, how do I know if they have voluntarily joined your mercenary group? Not only that, but the registered mercenary group certificate must also be reviewed annually, and the members must also be present during the annual examination. ”
The aunt looked at Andrew expressionlessly, and looked at Andrew, looking like she didn't get a drop of water.
The little girl standing in the back was in a hurry.
Andrew took a deep breath, straightened up and leaned back in his chair, touched his chin, and stared at his aunt silently.
"Or you can find some other animals, such as mice. We have registered a mercenary group called 'Rats and Dragons', which is a dragon and four rats. However, I would like to remind you that if you sign up as such, you will definitely be the focus of our visit. You have to treat rats like your own regiment. I mean, they should at least have their own room. And we can't just change one to perfunctory us. Failure to do so will result in heavy fines. ”
"Can you tell if it's the same mouse?"
"Of course. The aunt casually took an emerald green board from the side and put it in front of Andrew: "Every mercenary must leave a fingerprint here, even a mouse." Just put your finger on it and we'll know if you've ever joined a mercenary group. ”
Yo, I really can't see it, this is much more powerful than the adventurer's guild in the south. Even this kind of thing is there. It doesn't look like a human work, so it should be worth a lot of money, right?
"Okay, I see. Andrew stood up with a smile on his handrails: "What else? Do you have to prepare anything other than the group members? I don't want to make two more trips." ”
"I also have to prepare a fee of ten gold coins. ”
"Thank you. Andrew smiled and nodded, then smiled at the human girl standing behind Big Mom, and turned to leave.
Just kidding, that's a stupid thing that Christina would do, didn't you hear that she was the target of supervision?
Leaving the Adventurer Service Center, Andrew walked along the circular road, his eyes quietly glancing around, and then drilling where there were many people.
A moment later, he had a few more money bags in his hand. Quietly walking into the corner, he whistled leisurely, poured out all the money inside, and then threw all the money bags away.
"Twenty-five gold coins, twelve silver coins, and forty-two copper plates. Enough. ”
Wandering around, he returned to the Adventurer's Service Center. This time, though, he didn't come closer, but watched from afar.
Soon, the girl who was supposed to help him with the formalities just now also noticed him and looked at him from afar.
Andrew gently hooked his hand, and the girl immediately said something to her companion, then left the counter and quietly walked towards Andrew.
The two quietly came to a corner where there were not many people.
"Sir, I apologize to you on behalf of our supervisor. She's actually quite enthusiastic. ”
"No, it's fine. I don't mind. Lowering his voice, Andrew whispered to her, "But I have a problem, and I hope you can help me solve it." ”
"What's the trouble?" the girl asked quickly.
Andrew pretended to be melancholy and said, "I don't have a team member, but I must set up a mercenary group." Can you help me?"
"This ...... I'm afraid not. The girl replied helplessly: "This is a rule, and no one can change it." ”
"But I can't just find a few people to set up a mercenary group. After all, I am a responsible regiment commander, and this is an irresponsible approach. My dream is to become a great mercenary captain, and I can't make a mistake in the first step. This is not right. ”
"But it really can't be helped. Lowering her head, the girl touched her thumb: "I want to help you, but I really can't." Every mercenary must leave a fingerprint for comparison, this is the rule. My fingerprints have long since been left in the file. Even if I want to make one for you, I can't. ”
Andrew was stunned for a moment and asked quietly: "Leave fingerprints, is it the fingerprints that leave a few fingers?"
"One, thumb one. The girl replied with a look of confusion.
Andrew laughed slowly: "Then you can help me." ”
Soon, at Andrew's instigation, the girl quietly returned to the counter. After a while, the aunt walked away. There were only four human maidens left on the counter. Andrew pretended to be nothing, walked over as if nothing had happened, came to the maiden and sat down, and then left five fingerprints.
Yes, five fingers, different fingerprints. He even kindly wanted to register the mercenary group as ten, after all, he had exactly ten fingers, and maybe even toes...... But it seems a bit excessive.
The whole time, the girl was terrified, looking left and right from time to time, worried that her companion was watching her. Fortunately, everyone else was busy and didn't pay attention.
Soon, the fingerprints were left, and Andrew made up four more names to fill in the form. Maybe five, after all, even his own name, "Duru", is a pseudonym.
After silently completing the formalities and paying the fee, Andrew left with the stamped five mercenary documents.
"Seriously, you're the most beautiful human being I've ever seen. Really, I was hooked on you from the first sight. I'm sure I'll always find excuses to go through the formalities in the future. ”
Before leaving, he also gave the girl a flying kiss, which fascinated the girl for a while, and her face was as red as an apple.
Hehe, there are no rules in the eyes of this blood elf, otherwise why do you guess why he can't get along among the blood elves and has to flee to the human world?
"Next, just go back to the adventurer's hall to get a quest, and the problem will be solved!"
