(263...... 084...... 458...... Book friend skirt, if you want to come, join the group. P.S. Friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, your support is my biggest motivation)

Since the establishment of the Neutral Land, there has been an emerging trend in the human world, and the demigods who stand at the pinnacle of the power of living beings and have the strongest force in the world are very willing to concentrate on this new territory where there is no emperor and king to point fingers at it, there is no political conspiracy with open guns and hidden arrows, and there is no fear of power caused by the fear of weak ordinary creatures.

The Adventurer's Guild, located in the southern part of the City of Knowledge, is the headquarters of all the adventurer's guilds in the entire Yarra world, and the president of the adventurer's guild is generally appointed by the previous president, in addition to factors such as character and morality, the most demanding requirement is strength - in a neutral place, the three large guilds dominated by the three major cities, whether it is the mercenary union, or the shadow hand, or the adventurer's guild, in fact, the hardware conditions for becoming the president are the same, with demigod-level strength.

The leader of this generation of adventurers' guild is named Odin Torrol, a human, the last of the demigods in the world to advance. Before taking over as the president of the Adventurers' Guild thirty years ago, he was a legendary ranger adventurer who wandered the lost jungles in the elven territory of the north all the year round, and his reputation was quite famous in both the elven world and the human world. Thirty years after the demigod ranked, he was appointed as the trust chairman by the previous president before his death, and at the same time, according to custom, he also took over the position of lord of the city of knowledge.

Thirty years have passed, and the once handsome middle-aged ranger has now crossed the threshold of seventy years old and entered the twilight years, but even at this age, Odin, who is in a high position, is still trapped in the hell of busy work every day, and it is difficult to have a moment of leisure. But today, the internal staff of the Adventurer's Guild were surprised to find that Lord Odin, the leader of the Guild, who is usually difficult to see, suddenly appeared in the hall of the senior members, and there was no instruction, just sitting quietly in the hall, as if waiting silently.

The office of the adventurer's guild is divided into four areas, the first area is the entrustment area, which is responsible for undertaking all kinds of commissions, all the commissions that want to be released to adventurers must be registered and evaluated in the commissioning area, and any adventurer who skips the guild and wants to directly receive the commission, as long as it is discovered, will be expelled from the guild directly, and will never be accepted again. In the distant past, when the adventurer's guild had just been established, many adventurers were very resistant to the guild's forced unified acceptance of commissions and drawing five percent of the management fee, but time proved that the guild's behavior was reasonable. At the same time, when the client conceals the danger or provides false information, the huge adventurer's guild will also come forward to negotiate with the client, and the adventurers are no longer a lonely and vulnerable group, so this behavior of the guild is gradually accepted by the adventurers.

The second area is the member area, with two halls of nearly 10,000 square meters, including the task undertaking area, the new member registration area, and the member business acceptance area. But even with such a large space, the environment in the hall can still be described as crowded and noisy every day. A large number of mid- and low-level adventurers gathered in the two member halls, observing the quests that were constantly refreshed on the hedron information boards. Once you find the task you like, you can rush to the task undertaking area to book the task as soon as possible, and within one day after the booking, the task cannot be rebooked by other teams, during this period, the adventurer who has booked the task can learn more about the details of the task, and spend enough time to consider, if you confirm the acceptance, you need to pay a default deposit of 10% of the mission reward, which is prepared for compensating the client when the final mission fails or abandons the task.

As for the third area, it is the most envied area in the eyes of low-level adventurers, the premium membership area, and the area that only silver and gold adventure groups can enter. The Adventurer's Guild has strict restrictions on high-level parties, and must have at least one member of the Gold level and above, and complete a certain number of tasks and difficulty for the team to be eligible for the promotion of the Silver team, while the Gold Party must have at least one Legend member to be promoted. Few teams are willing to cheat on this, because it has proven to be the most irresponsible behavior for their own team's safety. The environment of the senior member area is simply heaven compared to the ordinary member area, the space here is not large, less than two thousand square meters, the real hall is only two hundred square meters large, and the rest of the space is fifty small single rooms of about twenty square meters, the walls of the single rooms are equipped with a good soundproof magic circle, and the conversation inside cannot be heard outside the door at all. In each room, there is a small spar slab that constantly refreshes the tasks, and there are experienced guild staff outside who are ready to handle the tasks for senior members one-on-one.

Finally, the fourth area is the guild's internal office area, where all the guild's high-level personnel work.

Walking into the guild, Catherine and Pannis, facing the envious or jealous gazes of many adventurers coming and going, walked to the high-level membership area, and after verifying their identities at the entrance of the high-level area, they disappeared from the gaze behind them without hindrance.

"Huh?" As soon as she entered the senior area, Catherine let out an exclamation, and her eyes secretly looked at the old man sitting on the seat in the hall: "That person, it should be the president, I remember seeing it once from afar, but I always think it is strange." ”

"What's wrong?" Pannis saw the old man in civilian clothes, his pupils constricted slightly, and his glasses narrowed slightly, revealing a strange smile.

"It's nothing, it's just that it feels weird to me, I can't tell you what it feels, it's just a very faint ...... Anyway, it's about the same feeling you've been giving me lately. Catherine frowned, unable to think of words to describe her feelings: "Completely indescribable." ”

"Your senses are very acute. Pannis spread his hands: "I don't feel anything." ”

Catherine glanced at Pennis and shook her head: "Forget it, let's go in, probably my delusion." ”

"Go ahead, I'll walk around here, those people outside are so envious of us, this must be a good place. Pannis made a dumb look and looked around.

"Okay, okay. Catherine sighed angrily: "Remember the promise of the morning, don't cause trouble to the people around you, don't turn yourself into selfishness." You need to know ......"

"Stop. Pannis crossed his arms and drew a big cross: "I finally understand Lina and Vivien's panic, you go quickly, after a while, the good tasks are snatched away, and there will be no money to make." The gold coins, the lovely gold coins, are about to fly away, so don't go quickly. ”

"I find that since you joined, I rolled my eyes more in a day than I had in a year. Catherine said and rolled her eyes at Pannis before turning away.

Seeing Catherine walk away, Pannis turned around and sat down casually by the chair beside the old man whom Catherine described strangely. Ever since Pannis came over, the old man's eyes had been focused on Pannis, and it wasn't until Pannis was done that the old man spoke in the ghostly gazes of several waiters nearby: "Hello." ”

"You're good. Pannis nodded.

"My name is Odin. The old man stroked his beard and said, "Odin Torrol." ”

"I guessed it. Pannis smiled faintly: "My name is Pannis now." ”

The old man didn't speak again, but watched with interest as Pannis picked out an unknown fruit from the snacks prepared for the senior members on the table and clicked and nibbled on it, not at all dragged down by busyness, until Pannis finished eating the fruit and did not speak again.

"Well, you win, she's coming back soon. Pannis sighed, "You're here for me?"

"Yes. The old man nodded.

"Something?"

"Nope. The old man directly shook his head and denied: "I just came to see you." ”

"Look at me?" Pannis pointed to his nose and beckoned to the waiter standing nearby, "Hey, beautiful young lady, do you have a mirror?"

"Huh?" The waiter was already at a loss when he stood beside the mysterious president, and when he heard Pannis's question, he nodded stupidly and took out a small hand mirror for touch-up. Pannis took the mirror and looked at himself for a long time, and said suspiciously: "I didn't realize that I have become beautiful recently, why do you want to look at me?"

"Huh. Odin Qiang laughed twice to adjust his mentality before saying, "I was entrusted by a division commander to come and see you. ”

"Commander, I want to think, I want to think, a neutral place, a capital of knowledge. Pannis frowned and thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers: "I see, little green-skinned liar." ”

"Ahem, I'm sorry, maybe that's what you and Mr. Christo call each other, but that's my division commander. Odin coughed dryly.

"I'm sorry. Pannis restrained the joke on his face and apologized very seriously: "I shouldn't have called him that in front of you, I'm sorry." ”

Odin nodded and accepted Pannis's apology: "However, you and Mr. Christo describe it very differently, you describe it more than he describes...... More personality. ”

"If it weren't for the difference, I might still be living in the town of Kanzil or some unknown town, struggling to survive. Now there is a difference, which means that I have found my way. Pannis smiled casually and said in an accentuated tone, "I'm coming out." ”

"Indeed, you have found your way. Odin said with some respect: "Everyone felt it at the time, congratulations." ”

"Christo wants to see me, why don't you come yourself?" asked Pannis, a little curious.

"He doesn't know if you'd like to see him now. Odin replied, "Mr. Christo said that if you are willing to see him, you will naturally go to him, and if you are not willing to see him, it is not good to meet him by force." ”

"Well, it's better not to see you first. Pannis thought for a moment and decisively denied what he had just said: "It seems that I haven't fully come out yet, well, not yet." ”

Odin's face showed a little disillusionment, touching his beard and not knowing how to speak, but fortunately Pannis cleared the siege in time: "You have already seen me, do you have any questions?"

Odin actually said a little nervously: "There is another question, I want to ask you, you have come out now and changed, so are you still the same as in the past?"

Pannis squinted his eyes at Odin with a smile: "This question, I'm afraid it's not Christo's problem, but your own, aren't you at ease?"

"Yes. As a generation that grew up listening to the legends of the heroes in the battle of the return of the dead more than a hundred years ago, Odin did not hide any pretense in front of Pannis, and directly admitted his worries.

"You should know that people like us, people who have come to this point, no matter how their personalities, hobbies, and ways of doing things change, but here. Pannis pointed to his left breast: "Here, it is very difficult to change, no one is an exception, and I am the same." ”

"I see. Odin sighed and stood up with ease, "Don't bother your new life, Mr. Pannis, goodbye." ”
