Silver Moon 2nd year January.

Although the snow and ice in Lin López are far from melting, the weather has begun to warm up little by little.

As in Christina's life.

Ever since she met Andrew, she felt like her life had changed. Not only did it go smoothly, but even the previous troubles, Andrew was able to help her solve them one by one. A dream that seemed unattainable seems to be close at hand.

Christina's eyes were also filled with light. Especially when looking at Andrew.

Andrew, of course, was more worried, worried. And it can be concluded that he will be worried for the whole month before the return of the White Vulture Mercenary Regiment.

As a result, people who enter and leave the Adventurers' Guild often see such a scene: a depressed, unsmiling blood elf and a dragon girl who laughs like a fool every day walking together.

"Mr. Durrou, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. ”

"But I see that you seem to be very unhappy, and you hardly laugh. ”

"I'm really fine. As he spoke, Andrew sighed again and held his forehead with a blank expression.

Christina next to her blinked and watched quietly.

After a while, when Andrew turned his face sideways, he found that Christina was still looking at him, and could only say "I really, really, really nothing." Can't anyone laugh every day, can they?"

"But I just laugh every day. Christina replied aggrievedly.

"Well, you're an exception. Andrew was helpless.

Due to the extremely fast completion of the heavyweight task, the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group were directly promoted to the sixth-level mercenary group by the Adventurer Guild. This is a mercenary group that has only been established for a month. This would be impossible under normal times.

Because of this, the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group has become the most popular mercenary group in the entire Adventurers' Guild.

To be promoted from a fourth-level mercenary group to a fifth-level mercenary group, you only need to go to the adventurer service center to go through the procedures according to the process, and hand over the evidence of the corresponding completion of the task in accordance with the regulations.

In contrast, the promotion of a fifth-level mercenary group to a sixth-level mercenary group is much more grandiose. The Adventurer's Guild will hold a ceremony for the promoted mercenary group, and the entire mercenary group above the sixth level of Lin Lopez will also send people to participate, and the eight adventurer halls will also send people to participate.

Mr. Manny, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild who was in charge of the speech, was a gray-haired human mercenary. It is said that he has been retired for more than ten years and is now focusing on the operation of the Adventurer's Guild. He was also a military advisor to the local lord, Duke Morel.

"It's a belated medal. Our Miss Christina, known to almost every mercenary in Lin López. Flashdance She accomplished quite a few tasks that amazed us, and of course, there could be more that she messed up. ”

Everyone in the audience laughed.

Coughing dryly, Mr. Manny, the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, continued, "We've been thinking about how to use her abilities correctly, and we've given up on it. Until the appearance of our Mr. Durrou. ”

All eyes were on Andrew, who was sitting in the front row.

"What kind of task did they accomplish so quickly, and they were promoted to the sixth level?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a top-secret mission. I heard that the mission was originally expected to last a month, but they completed it in one night. The final prize is up to 9,000 gold coins. ”

"Oh my God, nine thousand gold coins, our seventh-level mercenary group didn't have so much profit last year, they earned it in one night"

"The point is that there are actually only two of them, and that's the scariest thing. The cost is much lower than that of any other mercenary group. ”

The people in the audience whispered.

Mr. Manny, who was standing on the stage, continued, "It may be said that in my eyes, the presence of Mr. Durroux is no less than that of Miss Christina. Although his appearance, quietly, was not as dazzling as Miss Christina. Miss Christina once told me that she had feared countless times that Monsieur Durroux would abandon her, as every one of us here did. We all want to have a strong teammate like Miss Christina, but none of us are willing to take risks and grow with her. Except for our Mr. Durrou, who is different from everyone else. He was willing to stay with Miss Christina. Of course, the time may not be particularly long, only a little more than a month. ”

The audience laughed again.

"Isn't that even more proof of Mr. Durrou's talent, though, that he is the most suitable partner for Miss Christina. In just one month, they had completed a total of one hundred and thirteen tasks, "looking down at their manuscripts, and Mr. Manny reading out the numbers on them." ”

Suddenly, the mercenaries watching the ceremony in the audience were in an uproar.

"Yes, one hundred and thirteen tasks. It's just over a month. It also includes one S-Class mission, three A-Class missions, and thirty-five B-Class missions. Don't ask me, I don't know how they did it. Maybe neither the elves nor the dragons need to sleep. ”

The mercenaries in the audience laughed again, and their eyes began to light up as they looked at Andrew and Christina.

"Look at them, look at you lazy creatures. I'd already snicker if you could accomplish one task a day, let alone three a day. Sometimes you may have slept in a day and a night after drinking and have done nothing. "There is a regiment commander who has already whispered a reprimand to his subordinates below.

"There were only two of them, which was amazing. Mr. Manny spread his hands helplessly, "You may wonder why, we stipulate that there must be five members of the registered mercenary group, but there are only two of them. In fact, they did have five members, but the remaining three were Mr. Durrou's middle, ring, and little fingers. ”

The mercenaries in the audience laughed again.

"Yes, that's it. Mr. Durroux charmed our staff with his charm and asked our staff to help him cheat. However, we do not intend to punish them. Because, they proved to us with facts that a mercenary group of two people can be very remarkable. We have decided to abolish the requirement of five people to form a mercenary group and replace it with two. After all, the purpose of the Adventurer's Guild is not to restrain mercenaries, but to serve them. Maybe one day there will be a mercenary group that can do everything and be promoted to level six, and we will change the establishment criteria to one person. Who knows, you'll need to work harder. ”

All of a sudden, the mercenaries in the audience laughed even more happily.

"Mr. Manny is an old man with a sense of humor. Andrew whispered to Christina.

"He's always been nice to me. It was he who approved me to set up a mercenary group with Little Andy, Little Lynn, Little Jeff, and Little Henry. The reason is that there is no racial discrimination in the Lin López Adventurer Guild, including rats. Of course, you're the best for me. Christina looked at Andrew and smiled stupidly.

Andrew raised an eyebrow slightly, turning his head back.

"Now, please ask the leader of our Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Regiment, Miss Christina, to come to the stage to receive her sixth-level mercenary regiment medal. ”

The audience applauded. Bian VI, who was a collaborator, was among them.

Under the fiery gaze of the mercenaries, Christina stepped onto the stage and accepted the medal exclusive to the sixth-level mercenary group in front of everyone.

Christina burst into tears of excitement.

This is a goal that she has been working hard for six years but has never been able to achieve. I even thought I would never finish it.

Standing on the stage, she choked up, couldn't say anything, and kept staring at Andrew in the audience.

"Maybe our Miss Christina would like Mr. Andrew to stand with her. Mr. Manny stepped back and made a "please" gesture.

The mercenaries burst into applause again.

In desperation, Andrew had no choice but to get up and walk on stage.

"Thank you, thank you all for the applause. Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this ceremony and witness this important moment for the Blood Elves and the Dragon Mercenary Group. In the future, we, the Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Regiment, will live under this sky with all of you and protect this beautiful city together. We will have a lot of opportunities to cooperate, I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

The applause from the audience became even more enthusiastic.

A proper speech finally brought the ceremony to an end.

After the ceremony, several leaders of the mercenary group came to Andrew in the hope of getting to know each other, and Andrew pushed Christina, who was like a duck, to the front, "This is our leader, and all the affairs of the blood elves and dragon mercenary groups are up to her." ”

So, the scene was a little awkward. The leaders had no choice but to reintroduce themselves to Christina, who had previously avoided them, and express their desire to cooperate.

After all, there are many tasks that require multiple people to complete. There are only two people in the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group, which means no small opportunity for cooperation. Mercenaries, it's all about money, who will have trouble with money

For the sake of his own face, Bian VI was also very happy to make the ceremony beautiful. The news even made headlines in the local tabloids, turning Christina and Andrew into legends. Of course, under Andrew's strong opposition, no portraits were placed.

After a whole day, flowers, applause, and the matter passed.

To be honest, things were a bit of a surprise to Andrew. Although his original purpose was to grow the mercenary group into strength, he didn't expect it to be so fast. Even when he came up with a special way to complete that escort task, he didn't expect that completing an S-level mission in one-thirtieth of the time would add so many points and directly push the mercenary group to level six.

Is that a good thing?

To be honest, Andrew was a little worried. That's worry written on the face.

In the evening, Christina cooked a sumptuous dinner and sat down at the table with Andrew for the first time. Or rather, Christina had dinner with Andrew for the first time. Candlelit dinner. It may not be what you think, though. They just quietly bowed their heads, ate, and were so quiet that they didn't say a word.

Christina kept an eye on Andrew's movements, but Andrew was silent, thinking about something.

I just kept eating until I was almost done, and Andrew suddenly raised his head, "I have an idea." ”

"What thoughts," Christina looked up and smiled. The speed of the reaction scared Andrew, and it took a while to slow down.

"I'm thinking, why don't we change cities?"

"A change of city"

"Yes, it's too small here. There's not a lot of room to play. It's only been a little over a month, and we're already a sixth-level mercenary group. Next came level seven, and then there was none. It's not that we can't do bigger tasks, it's that there aren't bigger tasks at all. You know what I mean."

Christina stared at Andrew blankly.

Andrew said to himself, "If we go to a bigger city, we will have the opportunity to become an eighth-level or even ninth-level mercenary group." What do you think?"

"But," Christina whispered, "where to go, the biggest adventurer's guild in Lumbuck is in Lyn Lopez." ”

"The biggest" Andrew was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm. Christina nodded, "I don't know about the rest of the place, but the biggest adventurer guild in Lombback is the Lin Lopez Adventurer Guild." ”

All of a sudden, Andrew touched his chin and fell silent.

"Do you want to go back" Christina asked in a low voice, "You said to help me before, and now it's a sixth-level mercenary group, so are you leaving?"

Andrew blinked blankly, looked at Christina, and then whispered, "No, I didn't mean that." Let's eat first. ”

Lowering his head, Andrew continued to cut his beef carefully, and looked up at Christina again, and found that Christina had been staring at herself, "What's the matter, don't you eat more?"

"Actually, how much I eat is just a little bit for me. Christina whispered, "Have you forgotten that I'm a dragon?"

"Okay. Andrew smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

In the middle of the night, Andrew lay in his bed tossing and turning.

"Maybe I should get out of here right away. It's a bunch of lichs, lichs, and they can even summon ghosts to ask them what they want to know. Even if you don't do anything, you may be discovered, not to mention that now the whole Lin Llopes knows me, this is a huge mistake, and I shouldn't be on stage. ”

"With a little bit of attention, they can easily spot me. And once I find out, I'm finished, and I have nowhere to run. It's impossible to run away. ”

In the wee hours of the morning, Andrew got up quietly, cleaned up briefly, took the more than a hundred gold coins in the drawer as pocket money, and quietly opened the door.

As a result, he saw Christina sleeping in front of his room with the quilt in her arms

Closing the door, he silently returned to his room with his luggage, sat on the bed, and was silent.

"Is this really a dragon, such an unalert dragon, since I'm worried, I'm still sleeping, and I'm still asleep, is the dragon so sleepy, what if I run away like this?"

"Can she continue to maintain the Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Regiment?"

Helpless.

After a while, Andrew put his luggage back in its place, walked out the door, picked up Christina, and carried her back to her room.

Christina woke up with a stagger, looking at Andrew with wide eyes.

Andrew whispered, "Sleep well, I'm not leaving." I won't leave you behind. ”

Christina then fell asleep groggily, smiling sweetly.

"Just take a risk, just this once. Muttering quietly, Andrew turned and went back to his room.
