Chapter 12: The Undercurrent is surging

Ronnardo was gone, smiling his face.

Panda has finally accepted the temporary commission, and will join Mulandana's sweeping team to destroy the demonic beasts that threaten the city.

He doesn't want to get into trouble, but as an adventurer, he has money to earn, so why give up? As a player, if he lets go of this opportunity to earn experience points, it is a problem with his brain!

After receiving an affirmative answer, Langnadu gave Panda a document. It was a certificate of recruitment issued by the Foreign Affairs Department of the Governor's Office of Mulandana, and the magic seal on the parchment shimmered faintly to ensure that it could not be forged.

This magic seal is not very skillful, but it is just two pieces of paper put together and a magic seal is stamped in the middle. When it's time to verify, take out the corresponding paper and take a look at it together to see if it's genuine. Although it is simple and straightforward, it is extremely difficult to crack. If there is no internal response, and if you can't find a specific pattern, even if you are an expert in the magic array of Sleepless, you can only sigh.

The next day, Panda took the document to the Patrol Division.

Coincidentally, the staff member in charge of contact happened to be one of the knights who came with the deputy director to stop the conflict yesterday. Although the panda didn't know him, he did recognize the panda - the black and white face was so distinctive, if you could forget it, I was afraid that there was either an eye problem or a brain problem.

"Welcome, Mr. Panda!" the knight verified the recruitment certificate, nodded, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to have the help of a strong man like you, if you are willing to officially join our patrol division, it will be even better!"

The panda smiled too, and after laughing, he curiously asked about the follow-up to yesterday's incident.

The knight's smile vanished and turned into a faint melancholy.

"There is no follow-up. He said, "The director gave Reimer a lecture and it was over." ”

"Is this the end?" Panda was stunned for a moment, then understood a little, and asked, "How old is your director?"

The knight smiled wryly and nodded.

“...... Then is he leading the team in this operation to exterminate the demonic beasts?" asked the panda with some concern.

The knight suddenly became serious, and said, "You can rest assured about this! This operation is personally commanded by our governor, and although he is biased, he will definitely not make a mistake in this kind of matter. And the person who is specifically responsible for your temporary helpers is our deputy director Bei Xian, who is very friendly to you. ”

Only then was the panda relieved and asked about the specific plan of action.

"This operation is relatively large, and preparations are still underway. If nothing else, it is estimated that the run-in will start in five or six days, and it will take about ten days to set off. The round-trip journey, plus the fighting, is expected to take half a month. ”

"In other words, if everything goes well, it will take about twenty-five days in total?"

"It's pretty much the same, but I'd suggest you take it a little more slowly, let's say thirty days to prepare. ”

Panda nodded, completed the registration, received a silver medal representing his identity, and left the Patrol Division.

Not long after he left, a young knight came to the contact and asked, "Did the adventurer who brought the demonic beast into the city yesterday come over?"

The young knight did not answer the question, but said stiffly, "This is not something you should ask. ”

"Hey, what do you mean? I've been in the Patrol Division for twenty years, and I can't ask an adventurer? Are you from the Patrol Division, or are you an adventurer?" the knight was suddenly upset, and sneered.

The young knight said coldly, "At least I am not a corrupt person, and I have no money in my family beyond my salary. ”

"Are you suspecting me of corruption? Do you have proof?"

"You deserve it, too!" the young knight sneered, "if you think I've insulted your reputation, you can duel me." If I am killed with a sword, no one will avenge me. ”

"A knight's sword is used against foreign enemies! You actually want to swing a sword at a comrade-in-arms, you really have no quality at all! A person like you can become a knight? What a generation is not as good as a generation!"

"If you don't even dare to draw a sword, you won't talk nonsense!

The two knights glared angrily, like a pair of fighting cocks.

If the panda had gone a little later and witnessed such a scene, perhaps he would have made a completely different choice.

Back at the hotel, he first went to Barney's shop and asked about the progress of the harness making. When he learned that it would be completed tomorrow, he went to old Sanchi and asked where there were well-informed people in the area.

"Well-informed man, what do you want to inquire about?" asked old Sanchi.

"Whatever I want, my knowledge of Mulandana is limited to what I have heard from the bard, and those are certainly not enough, so I want to know more about the city. ”

"If that's all there is to it, my son Antola will be able to tell you for half a day. "But if you want to know something secret, or a mission about an adventurer, Antola is not familiar with it." You're going to the Anvil Tavern. ”

"Anvil Tavern?, how did 'anvil' and 'wine' come together?"

"That's right, the innkeeper is a dwarf, and his name is Anvil. ”

Soon, the panda came to this "anvil tavern".

Because it was daytime, there were not many people in the tavern, and in the hall, a big bald man was cleaning, and in the direction of the back kitchen, a fat short man was roasting a whole sheep, and behind some of the low counters, a dwarf with a beard longer than his hair was writing and drawing, probably settling accounts.

Panda walked to the counter and put down a few silver coins: "Old Sanji said that if I want to know something secret, or find some mission, I should come here." ”

The dwarf paused, put the wooden board in front of him with strange symbols written on it that the panda didn't recognize, and looked at him carefully.

"You seem to be a capable one. "But I don't know what kind of person you are." The old anvil pays attention to credit first, and I will not introduce tasks to people who are not clear about character. ”

"So, what about the news?" Panda asked.

"The message is fine, you just buy a barrel of wine. But I can only tell you a little rough news. If it is very detailed, you will have to charge an additional fee. ”

For the next half hour, the panda drank a small barrel of dwarven ale that tasted about the same as beer, and also got a lot of information about Mulandana.

This information includes the main forces in the city and their relationships. Most importantly, the positions of the people of the city on the issues of "conservatism" and "innovation" are also included.

Although the dwarf ale was not very much to the panda's taste, he felt that it was worth the trip for this special appetizer.

With this information, when he participated in the operation to exterminate the demonic beasts, he felt a little more confident.

At the very least, he will not mistake the reformists and the old-fashioned, and send his head under the knife of others in a daze.
