Chapter 12: The Mercenary Guild's Assessment
For three days, Pierce would go into town.
He didn't go anywhere else, and he picked on the complicated dueling arena, so that on the third day, the dueling arena, which had been extremely lively in the past, became empty.
No one dared to come.
Horace was helpless about this, but the guards were so happy, and if they did this every day, they would not have to be nervous to guard the place.
Since no one went to the dueling arena, Pierce simply changed his approach.
I had heard that there were many demonic beasts in the Wuya Forest, and he had tasted the sweetness of the demonic beast crystal nucleus, so Pierce had the idea of a demonic beast.
Early in the morning, Pierce came to the royal city again.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Ivy, but Pierce couldn't accept the girl's tenderness for a while, after all, he had only known each other for a week, and his cognition could not be changed.
"Even though the daily meal is better, the damn black bread is still indispensable. ”
Standing on the bustling street, Pierce shuddered at the thought of the dark and hard bread.
Dispelling the image from his mind, Pierce stepped into the Mercenary Guild.
Although it was still early, there were already many people in the guild who took on the task, as well as mercenaries who were tired and carried mission items in exchange for commissions.
The Mercenary Guild is a mixed place, there is no shortage of powerful people here, and of course, they are also a group of adventurers who lick blood and hover on the edge of life and death.
Pierce wasn't familiar with the place, but luckily there was someone in the guild who was in charge of the reception.
"Are you here to take over the mission?"
A young girl stepped forward and asked.
Although Pierce is dressed modestly, he is nothing in the Mercenary Guild, because most of the people who choose to become mercenaries are poor people who have been abandoned by life, but their strength is beyond doubt.
The girl saw Pierce looking around, as if she hadn't heard her question, so she pulled her long blond hair and patiently approached and asked again.
"Uh... My first time here. ”
Pierce scratched his head in embarrassment, he was too curious just now, and then he realized the girl in front of him.
"You're not a mercenary, are you?"
Pierce shook his head.
"If you want to take on a mercenary assignment, you must first become a mercenary. ”
Pierce nodded.
"Follow me. ”
The girl's eyes lit up, and she gave Pierce a strange look, then turned and walked towards the corner of the hall, Pierce following closely.
The guild occupies a huge area, including not only a hall for receiving tasks, but also several building courtyards for the training and assessment of mercenaries.
Pierce saw some newcomers and was also going through the procedures to become a mercenary, but seeing that the girl had no intention of stopping, he had to continue walking inside.
As they went deeper, fewer and fewer people could be seen, and then the two walked out of the building and came to a spacious courtyard.
"Uncle Barnard, I'm bringing in a new person. ”
As soon as the girl entered the courtyard, she shouted inside.
It was only then that Pierce could see the situation in the courtyard.
The spacious courtyard is full of weapons and armor.
Hearing the girl's voice, the man sitting in the middle of the courtyard suddenly stood up, his body as thick as an iron tower, and his knotted muscles were as sharp and angular as a knife in the sunlight.
"Newcomer?"
The strong man glanced Pierce up and down, seeing that the latter's scalp was numb, and wondered if the other party had any special fetishes.
"Come here. ”
Seemingly a little disappointed, the strong man's eyes were less excited, and he waved his hand casually, signaling Pierce to come over.
It was only then that Pierce realized something was wrong.
"Doesn't look like this is a registry office?"
"Do I need to waste time getting those things for the people I personally introduced?"
The girl snorted disapprerovingly, and then leaned to the side with her hands on her chest, looking like she was waiting to see a good show.
Seeing this, Pierce had no choice but to walk over.
"Judging by your appearance, you haven't condensed your fighting spirit yet, you should be a quasi-knight, right?"
The brawny man grabbed the greatsword in his hand and put it back on the weapon rack.
"I'm Barnard, the examiner, and if you can hold on to me for half a minute, you'll be qualified. ”
The figure of the other party has completely covered Pierce, and he heard the strong man's words clearly, so he simply put on a posture and signaled that the other party could do it.
Seeing that both sides were ready, the girl hesitated for a moment, but shouted at Pierce.
"Barnard is the strength of the Bronze Seventh Order. ”
However, as soon as the girl finished speaking, Barnard had already rushed towards Pierce.
The fist wind approached instantly, and the fist was in a trance like a shadow.
"The Bronze Horseman?"
The Mercenary Guild will naturally assess newcomers, and they have enough strength to take on the matching tasks, but Barnard is a bronze-level examiner.
However, the girl brought Pierce here, and Barnard didn't say anything, which is why he didn't use a weapon.
Pierce was not stupid, the other party's strong fighting spirit was much stronger than Edmund's, and he hurriedly used his arms to protect the vital point.
Seeing that the other party was about to take this trick hard, Barnard didn't care, but with an expression that had already predicted the result, he blasted Pierce out with a punch.
Knowing Pierce's strength, Barnard deliberately collected some strength, this punch would not kill him, but it was enough for a would-be knight to lie down for ten days and half a month.
However, when Pierce got back up on the ground, something was wrong with Barnard's eyes.
"I didn't expect my examiner to be so powerful, but ......"
Pierce smiled incomprehensibly, then held out his finger to Barnard.
"If you want to defeat me, you're still far away. ”
"Hard mouth!"
Barnard has a hot temper, and it is not easy to regain his strength, but now that he is provoked by Pierce, he can't care so much, and directly turns into a violent bear and rushes forward.
The girl didn't expect that the person she brought was so ignorant, and seeing that the situation was out of control and she was powerless to stop it, she quickly turned around and ran to move the rescuers.
In another courtyard, at this time, dozens of newcomers were preparing to take the mercenary assessment, and they were all quasi-knight level, just enough to meet the criteria for applying for mercenaries.
Their assessment task is very simple, they only need to support half a minute under the attack of the first-order bronze knight, as long as it is not a wine bag and rice bag, they can generally pass the assessment.
At this time, more than a dozen young people standing on the side had already passed the assessment and were fantasizing about the life of money and women.
"Next. ”
The bronze horseman, standing in the center of the courtyard, motioned for the next test taker to step forward.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from behind him.
Everyone looked behind the Bronze Horseman, only to see that the wall had collapsed, and the rubble and bricks were scattered everywhere, and the smoke and dust quickly filled up, and a figure flew out of it.
Everyone watched in amazement as a dusty young man got up from the ground and cursed in the direction of the gap in the wall.
"Do you know how tired my wife is from doing laundry!"
