"This task...... Is it difficult?" asked Christina cautiously.

"Oh no, it's not hard. Andrew, who was relieved, replied with some panic: "It's not difficult at all." It's just that...... Why do you want to find a mercenary group for this kind of mission? How much money does she give you. ”

"Lady Lida said to give me fifty copper plates. ”

"Fifty copper plates?"

"Because it's a neighbor, I'm giving it a 5% discount. ”

"Fifty copper plates, you still get a 5% discount?" Andrew was dumbfounded.

"Five folds is too much?" asked Christina with a wink.

Andrew didn't know how to continue the topic, and held his forehead for a long time before he said helplessly: "The point is not five folds, but fifty copper plates." Even if it is all given to you, without discount, there will only be fifty copper plates. Do you usually take on tasks so cheaply?"

Christina craned her neck, lowered her head, and looked at Andrew with blank eyes.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Andrew continued with an irritated expression: "Tell me, the most expensive task you have ever taken, how much is it." ”

Christina carefully held out five fingers.

"Five silver coins?"

"No, fifty gold coins. ”

"Fifty gold coins? Then why is this task only 50 copper plates?"

"Because ......," Christina replied aggrievedly, "Lady Lida has no money, and it is not a matter of great importance. She just wanted to figure out who it was. ”

"Do you charge based on the other party's financial situation?"

"Shouldn't it be like this? She can't afford to pay for too much. ”

"Do you have to take on this kind of task?" Andrew's voice suddenly rose an octave: "You're a dragon! Trouble a little bit of dragon dignity, okay? Dragons are all over the streets looking for who at the door?"

Christina shrunk her neck back and looked at Andrew cautiously.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you're a dragon, and your tone is a bit heavy, you won't mind, right?"

"Don't mind. Christina shook her head slightly.

"Listen, if you want to grow your own mercenary group and make money, you don't want to take on this kind of mission anymore. ”

"Why?"

"No reason, didn't you find that you didn't make enough money to buy something to feed your stomach?"

"But I ......"

"Finished. ”

"But I don't have to buy anything to eat, I hunt by myself. Dragons hunt on their own. ”

"Oh my God!" Andrew didn't know what to say, covered his face, and sat on the bed for a long time without relieving himself.

Christina watched cautiously.

For a long time, Andrew slapped the coffee table next to the bed and said earnestly: "Is this a question of whether the dragon can buy something to eat? Is this a question of whether the dragon can buy something to eat?

"Yes...... It doesn't seem to have any money. ”

Andrew was stunned and looked at Christina in dismay.

"Really, I swear. I've never paid for my time, not once. Christina also tried to explain. Well, I can't talk about it. I can't talk about it.

After a long pause, Andrew could only hold up a smile and said helplessly, "Can you go out first?"

"Get out?"

"Yes, get out. I just got up, and I haven't cleaned up yet, so I can't go out with you like this, can you? Don't you want me to guide you? Wait for me outside the door first, okay?"

Christina nodded excitedly, quickly turned and walked out the door.

The door closed, and Andrew let out a long breath, lying on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze, speechless for a while.

It took him a long time before he sat up again and said to himself, "I think so...... I can't ask her to be stupid when she's being tricked by me, and then suddenly smarter at other times...... It's either stupid or smart, you can only choose one or the other, and it is impossible to be smart and stupid...... I feel so much better when I think about it that way. ”

got up and tidied up, changed into his old clothes, and then Andrew soon found that there was not even a mirror in this poor room, and sighed helplessly: "Can this kind of place really live in people? From today on, I want to change her! This is my new beginning, and it is also her new beginning! It was decided! I am Andrew, the blood elf, and I want to live a beautiful life!"

Taking a deep breath, Andrew gave a kiss to the closed window, smiled sultryly, and then turned and pushed the door open.

"Take me to that Lady Leda!" Andrew strode towards the door.

"Oh, good!" Christina hurriedly followed.

That's right, Detective Andrew, oh no, Durroux is here!

......

In front of the gate, Andrew and Christina, as well as a middle-aged aunt with a pockmarked face, watched a piece of together.

Since the middle-aged aunt has swept away all the snow around the, this can be seen more clearly, more clearly than last night. Andrew looked at it silently for a while, and after confirming that it was really the lump he pulled last night, he silently turned sideways and said to Christina, "Did you collect the money?"

"Not yet. ”

"You can take it. ”

"Huh?" Christina was stunned for a moment.

"Do you already know who it is?" asked the aunt next to her quickly.

"Yes. I already know. Turning around, Andrew tilted his head slightly, looked down at his aunt, who was more than a head shorter than him, and said, "This is a lump of ...... Shit. ”

"Shit?"

"Yes, it's shit. So the person you're looking for simply doesn't exist. ”

"No, it's not shit. The aunt shook her head seriously: "I've seen shit, it's not like this." It looks like a human pull, and it's strained. ”

"No, that's shit. I'll prove it to you. Raising his hand, Andrew recited a spell. All of a sudden, the wind blew, gathering all the snow and revealing the outline of a dog on the ground.

Pointing to the outline of the dog, Andrew said with a mysterious expression: "See? You just look for this dog, it looks like this." ”

The aunt was stunned, so she could only bow her head silently, take out the money, and hand it to Christina.

Christina was also stunned, and reached out to take the twenty-five copper plates in a daze.

"Have a good time, ma'am. Andrew saluted gracefully, then turned his head and snapped his fingers: "Let's go, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild and take on a serious mission." ”

With that, he had already strode away.

Christina carried a crossbody bag and hurriedly chased after her.

There was also an aunt's muttering behind him: "How can I find this, a dog like this, I haven't seen it...... Forget it. Why am I so stupid to spend twenty-five copper plates chasing a dog? ”

"Mr. Duroux. ”

"What's the matter?"

Following Andrew, Christina lowered her voice and said, "It seems like you just recited an ordinary wind spell. ”

"Yes, that's right, it's a normal wind spell. ”

"That'...... We're lying to Lady Leda, aren't we?"

"No, no. Andrew replied with a blank face as he walked, "What you heard was the wind spell, what you didn't hear was the Shabi law." ”

"Shape's Law?"

"Yes, a secret technique of divination that has been passed down since ancient Krimasha, which resonates with the natural world by adjusting the magnetic field of the human body to discover the secret you want to seek. Ordinary wind spells are just a cover for it. This is the mystery I found in the ruins of Clemasha, and I have never told anyone. You have to keep it a secret for me. ”

"Hmm!" Christina nodded heavily, both a little excited, "But why can't you tell anyone?"

"Because I'm afraid of getting into trouble, after all, this spell is too powerful. I'm afraid they'll come to me by any means necessary. I'm a low-key person, you know. ”

"I see! I'm not going to tell anyone!"

Looking at Christina's sudden realization, the corners of Andrew's mouth rose slightly. Of course, he took it in and didn't show it.

It's just "shit", how can it be difficult to defeat the famous Archmage Andrew?

Andrew almost felt like he was starting to walk with the wind, especially with a dragon by his side.

......

Lyn López, a very humble border town in Lombacc.

Since it is neither a military location, nor an economic town, and the population is not large, it is still a little far from the capital of the Lombak Empire, and there is nothing important around, although it borders the Gustavus Empire, but there is a mountain range in the middle that it is impossible for an army to climb over, and many times, the already anxious Lombard royal family does not even want to deal with it. Even sending garrisons is very casual, sometimes even decades without rotation. Many soldiers were sent over, so they simply got married, had children, and lived here. Decades like a day.

However, it is such a small town, and it has its amazing place. For example, the Adventurer's Guild is one.

Towering mountains, the army can't overcome, but the merchants can. Especially when the profit is big enough.

Over time, a hidden trade route was formed, where adventurers, smugglers, and slave traders of all kinds gathered. Due to the fact that there are too many "suspicious people", the law and order are relatively poor, the Lombak royal family is too lazy to take care of it, and the local garrison is too small to manage, so the people living here have developed a set of anarchic solutions - the Adventurers' Guild.

In other places, it is the rich lords who only find the adventurer's guild to do things, and the adventurer's guild is at best, it is just a combination of several mercenary groups. Here, ordinary residents also seek out the Adventurer's Guild for business.

Yes, that's it. The Adventurer's Guild has infiltrated every aspect of the lives of its residents, and even the well-informed Andrew couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw the scale of the Adventurer's Guild here.

From a distance, it is just an ordinary building, and when you walk inside, you find that this building is not ordinary at all. Other large-scale buildings have one or two floors underground and three or five floors above ground. The Adventurer's Guild is a bungalow on the ground floor, and there may be more than five or six floors underground.

Why do you say "maybe"? Because Andrew sees five layers.

The huge ring-shaped structure, with a hollow "patio" in the middle, and the whole structure is concave downward, and at the bottom is a square, where the people in the square are holding some activities, and there is a burst of shouting.

It is surrounded by one layer of compartments, each with a signboard: "XX Mercenary Group Office". A cursory glance at the past shows that there are at least seventy or eighty mercenary groups. Almost every compartment was filled with people, including tellers dressed in dignified attire and with mustaches, who were in charge of receiving customers. There are adventurers who don't know if they have just returned or are ready to go, or if they haven't received business today and are wiping their weapons. And, of course, there are customers who come over to commission tasks.

The key is that such "patios" are not one, but eight, and eight patios are connected in a ring.

People, people everywhere, noisy all around, that's probably Andrew's first impression of this place.

Humans, nature is the most. Then there are dwarves with axes, goblins with collars, goblins wiping saliva while counting money, and huge cyclops, with pale hair and fanged orcs...... There are all races here, and even Andrew has seen several wood elves, as well as blood elves like himself. Even the flower elves who usually don't leave the elven territory, only the size of a palm, with six dragonfly-like wings, can be seen here.

Andrew was stunned.

"Wow!" Andrew silently removed the hood he had put on his head. Presumably, the people here will not be curious because of the appearance of a blood elf: "This place is really good, the adventurer guild here is much bigger than I thought." It's the first time I've seen it. ”

"It's the first time Mr. Duru has seen such a large Adventurer's Guild?"

"No, I mean it's the first time I've seen such a small town and yet such a big adventurer's guild. It was a bit of a surprise indeed. In this way, being a mercenary here is really promising. ”

"Of course, mercenaries have always been a promising profession. Christina replied excitedly, "I hope that one day I will become a great mercenary captain, and then my mother will be very happy." ”

"Your mother?...... It's a dragon, isn't it?"

"Yes, a dragon. She is also a green dragon. I don't know why, Christina pursed her lips, and her eyes suddenly flickered.

"What am I thinking?" Andrew patted his forehead and smiled helplessly, "Of course the mother of the dragon is a dragon, can it still be a hydra?" ”

Looking around, Andrew continued, "There should be a counter or something like that, right? It's the kind of place where everyone asks him for a task, and we go to get the task." Is there one?"

Christina nodded emphatically: "Yes, but you have to sign a contract with them to receive the task from them, and after signing the contract, you can only receive the task issued by them." They still won't sign me. ”

"And how do you usually take on assignments?" Andrew asked casually.

Lowering her head, Christina took out a thick stack of papers from her backpack, and said with fighting spirit and seriousness: "Fly!"
