Chapter Seventy-Two: The Doorway of the Mission

Now that the food problem in Thunder Eagle City has been solved, and there is some money left in the treasury, it is enough to buy at least the next batch of yarn, and after two months of training, the guards are also fully prepared in terms of both physical fitness and equipment, so that Rocky can finally focus on the next plan.

His next plan is naturally the task of the Mercenary Guild!

He had been working on this since he returned from the City of Sleepless God two months ago, and now that he had finally prepared all aspects and was finally able to take on the task of the Mercenary Guild.

So after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Rocky didn't sleep immediately, but couldn't wait to take out the task receiver.

This task receiver was bought by him from the Mercenary Guild, and it cost him 500 gold coins for this purpose, and as long as he used this receiver, he could easily check all the tasks of the Mercenary Guild, and directly contact the Mercenary Guild to hand it over.

The mission receiver was small, only the size of a palm, and it looked like a plate inlaid with a magic stone, with these buttons on it, and when Rocky turned the receiver on, he swiped it, and a ray of light shot out of it, and then changed into a picture in front of his eyes.

"Damn! scared me!"

Rocky was startled by the image projected from the receiver, and then thought of a word that did not belong in this world: holographic projection.

Isn't this mission receiver a holographic projector?

When he looked closely, he found that there were rows and rows of information projected by the receiver, all of which were related to the mission.

Now Rocky's interest came, and he quickly selected one of the messages, clicked it on the button on the receiver, and looked at it carefully.

Type: Merchant Escort.

Requirements: A team of more than 10 Sky Demon Squads.

Duration: three days.

Mission Objective: Depart from Baili City with the merchant ship, escort the merchant ship to the Hundred Beast City throughout the process, and need to go to the land for a replenishment on the way, and the merchant ship can complete the mission if it successfully reaches the destination.

Commission: 30,000 gold coins.

Task publisher: ×× Chamber of Commerce.

Unlike the bulletin board in the Mercenary Guild, the mission information displayed in the quest receiver is very detailed, making it easy to see at a glance.

And when Rocky saw the details of this task that he clicked on at random, he couldn't help but lick his lips.

"Good guy, you can earn 30,000 gold coins for three days of escort missions...... That's generous. ”

"It's just that I don't know how valuable the chamber of commerce that issued this mission is going to transport, and it spends so much money to hire an air demon team to escort it. ”

Although surprised by the high commission for this task, Rocky quickly looked at other information, because he simply couldn't take the task.

And it didn't take long for him to be attracted to another message.

Genre: Demon Slayer.

Requirements: A mercenary group of more than 100 people.

Duration:——

Mission Objectives: Go to the forest farm of the Mammer Chamber of Commerce in the Garin Mountains, clear the demons in the forest farm, the number of demons is expected to be more than 30, the specific type is unknown, there are no high-level demons, and all the demons can be eliminated to complete the task.

Commission: 40,000 gold coins.

Task Publisher: Mammer Chamber of Commerce.

Unlike the previous escort missions, it was a clean-up mission that attracted Rocky's attention, and the commission for this mission was very high, a full 40,000 gold coins!

Not only that, but the requirements of this task Rocky are also fully met, and even exceeded, which means that he can take this task completely.

But Rocky didn't act rashly, because after carefully reading the mission information, he found that although the commission for this mission was high, it was also extremely dangerous.

The goal of this mission is to wipe out all the demons that have taken over the forest farm, and according to the information, the number of demons in the forest farm is more than thirty!

That's thirty demons!

Although Rocky has never fought against large-scale demons, he also knows that unless the number and scale of demons are fought by the air demon team, if you rely on ordinary soldiers alone, let alone a mercenary group of more than a hundred people, even a mercenary group of five hundred people may not be able to fight against it!

So don't look at the very high commission for this task, but Rocky is not carried away by the high commission, he does want to make money by completing the task, but he will not even give up his life for the money.

At the same time, it is precisely because of his own sanity that the more Rocky looks at this task, the more he feels that this task is a little strange.

If this task really needs to be completed by eliminating at least thirty or more demons, then why does the Mammest Chamber of Commerce that issued the task hire a mercenary group of more than 100 people? You must know that the commission they give is a full 40,000 gold coins, which is enough even if it hires a mercenary group with a scale of more than 500 people.

That's weird......

Shaking his head, although Rocky didn't think of an answer, he still felt that although the commission was very high, the task issued by the Mammoth Chamber of Commerce was too dangerous, and he always felt that something was wrong, and he would not accept this kind of task.

But fortunately, there are many missions in the Mercenary Guild, and there are all kinds of different types of tasks, and in this case there is a lot of room for choice, so even if this task is not suitable, there are other tasks to choose from.

As a result, Rocky then began to check the mission information one after another, and wrote down all the tasks he liked.

In this way, he watched most of the night unconsciously, and by the time he came back to his senses, it was almost dawn.

The next day, he summoned Lilia, Erin, and Monte to his room.

The task of the mercenary union must be accepted, but it cannot be recklessly accepted, otherwise it is not the result that Rocky wants to see, so for the sake of safety, what task to take on needs to be discussed together.

When everyone arrived, Rocky took out the task receiver, and then showed everyone the few tasks he found last night, these tasks were all selected by him last night, and he felt that he should be able to complete them with their strength, but which task to take in the end, he still needs to listen to everyone's opinions before making a decision.

But before that, he still transferred the clean-up mission, because he always found it strange.

"Look, what's wrong with this mission? I've always thought it was weird. ”

After bringing up the details of the clean-up mission, Rocky spoke.

When he asked, Lilia, Erin, and Monte looked at the mission information at the same time.

"My lord, do you think there is a problem with the requirements of this eradication mission?"

With just one glance, Erin was the first to speak.

This was a bit of a surprise to Rocky, who he thought would be Lilia and Monte the first to notice something was wrong, but he nodded quickly.

"That's right, I don't understand why this Mammon Chamber of Commerce spends 40,000 gold coins but only hires a mercenary group of more than 100 people, it stands to reason that a task of this difficulty requires at least 500 mercenary groups with more than 500 people to have the strength to complete, you must know ......"

"The Mammer Chamber of Commerce did this on purpose. ”

Before Rocky could finish his question, Erin gave him the answer, and then said, "The reason why the Mammoth Chamber of Commerce lowered the requirements of the mission so low is actually to attract those mercenaries who are obviously not strong enough, but they have an eye for money. ”

"Because once the mercenary group with insufficient strength takes this task, even if it can't be completed at all, it can also make the task less difficult in disguise, after all, even if the mercenary group of hundreds of people can't wipe out all the thirty demons, it can at least kill one or two, right?"

"But if only one or two demons are killed, the Mammoth Chamber of Commerce will never pay a commission, but the difficulty of the task is reduced, and then the Mammoth Chamber of Commerce can immediately reduce the commission of the task and increase the requirements, so that the powerful mercenary group can complete the task in one fell swoop, this approach is a sure profit for them. ”

In just a few words, Erin explained Rocky's question clearly, and Rocky was dumbfounded!

"How can you do this......"

Erin's explanation made Rocky come back to his senses after a long time, and then frowned, although he had long felt that this clean-up task was not quite right, but he didn't expect that there were so many bends in it, and the Mammoth Chamber of Commerce that issued this mission was simply too insidious, right?

As if seeing Rocky's thoughts, Erin then said, "My lord, these are all businessmen's tricks, it's normal, as long as we pay more attention." ”

When Rocky couldn't help but feel that the Mammoth Chamber of Commerce was too sinister, Erin looked unimpressed.

Don't forget, Erin is also a businessman!

For the merchant species, profit always comes first, and in order to reduce expenses as much as possible while achieving the goal, this little trick is nothing.

Besides, this mission looks very insidious, but those who wish to take the bait, even if those mercenary groups that obviously have no strength but whimsically hold back to make a lot of money are wiped out by the group, who will they resent?

So this kind of little trick is nothing in Erin's opinion.

After hearing Erin's words, Rocky had to nod even if he didn't want to admit it, and at the same time secretly congratulated himself that he had done the right thing to call everyone in, because it was obvious that the mission of the mercenary guild seemed simple and straightforward, but there were a lot of bends hidden inside, and if one was not careful, he would have to make a wedding dress for someone else.

So after that, he found out the task he chose yesterday and discussed with everyone which task he wanted to take.
