Chapter 47: The Flame of Despair (I)
"Hello, I would like to take on a few tasks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Cole, who was already the head of the mercenary union, was sorting out his recent task list, but found that the light in front of him suddenly became a little dim, and raised his head to look, but it was an unusually tall mercenary.
"Hello, I want to take on a few tasks, the task level is above B level, preferably A level. ā
A couple of B missions, another stupid big guy who wants to try his luck, Cole thought to himself.
"Hello, B-level and above missions require B-level or above mercenaries or C-level or above mercenary groups to apply. If you meet these requirements, please show your mercenary badge or mercenary badge. Cole replied politely.
"Well, I'm a mercenary who just signed up, and I accidentally missed the level assessment. But I've asked your reception staff before, and he said you can apply for an unlimited mission. The young mercenary looked a little embarrassed, and he knew that his request sounded excessive.
"Well, sir, I do have some high-level quests that I can apply for here with no rank limit, but I don't recommend doing so, as these quests are more dangerous and not suitable for novice mercenaries. Moreover, these missions are not the only designated missions, and many large mercenary groups will accept these missions. ā
The so-called unrestricted tasks refer to the level of mercenaries that are not restricted when the employer publishes the task. This kind of quest is generally an exploration mission in an unknown area, a difficult escort mission, or a rare item exchange mission. There are two reasons why there is no limit to the level of mercenaries, one is that these tasks may require a large number of low-level mercenaries to complete tasks such as detection and exploration, which are basically cannon fodder. The second is that these tasks have nothing to do with strength and need to be lucky. The difficulty of the latter task generally does not exceed grade B.
"Well, I know all of that, but I'd like to take on some of these assignments, so if you can, please apply for them. ā
Cole was a little surprised by the mercenary in front of him, and began to take a closer look. He is about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a gray linen coat on his upper body and a wide skeleton. The lower body is a navy blue trouser with a slight fade at the knees. The hair and eyes are black, and they are not supposed to be from St. Fassen.
"Of course, if you insist, I can apply for these assignments for you, and after two days, if the employer does not object, your application is successful. However, if you really feel that you are strong enough to complete B-rank missions, I can arrange for you to take a mercenary level assessment, as long as the assessment result is above B, you can accept other B-level missions. ā
Perhaps moved by the mercenary's resolute eyes, Cole thought that the mercenary in front of him might really be a very strong guy. So even if he violated the rules, Cole decided to make an exception and arrange a mercenary level assessment for him.
The assessment of mercenary level is extremely precious for every mercenary, and generally speaking, in addition to getting a chance to be assessed when they first register, mercenaries must complete a certain number of tasks before they can apply to the mercenary union again. Moreover, the mercenary who applies for the assessment needs to pay a large deposit to the mercenary union, and if the assessment fails, the deposit will be collected by the union as an assessment fee. This is also to prevent mercenaries from applying for assessments at will, after all, each assessment consumes a lot of resources.
"Is that okay, thank you so much. "The young mercenary doesn't seem to be good at words, and his way of expressing gratitude is a bit rigid.
"Well, yes, but you have to pay a deposit of ten gold coins first, and if you pass the assessment, I will return it to you, but if you fail the assessment, these deposits will be used as the assessment fee and will not be refunded. ā
Cole was a little surprised, the mercenary in front of him seemed to be too calm. Ordinary mercenaries, when they learn that they can participate in the level assessment, will have some emotional fluctuations, or excitement, or nervousness. However, this young mercenary seemed to be only a little happy that he could apply for some high-level tasks.
"Uh, this ......"
Cole looked at the mercenary's cramped appearance and couldn't help but be a little amused. His behavior is somewhat capricious, I hope this is a really powerful guy.
"Well, look at it, I'm personally willing to pay this deposit for you. ā
"Thank you, I'll pay it back. "It's still a very blunt thanks.
"Okay, so which level do you want to apply for first, B-grade?" Cole said as he pulled out an application form for the mercenary level assessment.
"If I can, I'd like to apply for the A-rank mercenary assessment. ā
Cole, who was about to hand over the application form to the mercenary, froze for a moment, a little speechless. It seems that he is still a stupid big man......
"Sir, A-level is the highest level of mercenaries, and there is no need to conduct an assessment, but the premise is that you must be a saint-level ......"
Cole's tone was somewhat angry, but before Cole could show it, something happened in front of him that he would never forget.
"I am. ā
The young mercenary stretched out his index finger, and a brilliant golden fighting spirit jumped on his fingers.
The summer evening was a bit muggy, and Cole, as the supervisor, was already on his way home. Cole, who was sitting in the carriage, still felt a little unbelievable when he thought of the mercenary he met today, such a young sword master. In the end, the mercenary only got a B-level assessment, and the identification of the A-level mercenary needs to be personally reviewed by the vice president and president of the union. The whole process took nearly a week, and the mercenary didn't want to wait so long. However, Cole used his privilege to exempt him from the assessment and directly gave him the certification of a B-level mercenary. Alas, should I tell the president about this?
"Father is back!"
A crisp child's voice interrupted Cole's thoughts, and Cole hurriedly got out of the carriage, and at the door of the house stood Mu Zhu, who was wearing a red dress, and a little boy about four years old was standing at his feet.
"Sein, what did you have for your father tonight?" Cole picked up the little boy and rubbed the little boy's face with some affection.
"No, don't, father, the beard ....... hurt......." Muzhu took the desperately struggling boy from Cole's hand, and blew the boy's red face with some distress, giving Cole a vicious look by the way.
"Ha, this, it looks like I forgot to shave in the morning. Cole touched his chin a little embarrassed, and looked at the water droplets in the little boy's eyes, very distressed.
The shadows of the three men were stretched out by the setting sun, and the family of three walked towards the house, their figures gradually blurring, and only Cole's incessant apologies and the boy's crisp laughter after breaking into laughter could be heard.
