Chapter 21: The Mercenary Guild

"Very good, you are very nice. Burris had been waiting on the other side, and when he saw Alan coming safely, he did not hesitate to praise him.

Led Alan back to the previous hall, where two rows of official knights were already standing neatly, welcoming the birth of a new knight. At the end of the knight queue, the guardian knight held a brocade box and waited eagerly.

Walking through the ranks of knights, Burris took the brocade box from the guardian knight's hand and held it aloft.

"Congratulations to His Excellency Arnault for passing the knight examination. On behalf of the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Knight Union, I have the honour to solemnly announce the honour of being an official knight on Alan Arnault. ”

Alan stooped down, his hands raised in the form of a hand, and responded according to Burris's previous instructions: "I, Alan Arnott, will always defend this glory and abide by the knightly creed until death." ”

Burris placed the brocade box in Alan's hand, and then held his hand.

"Knight Arnott, congratulations. ”

"Thank you, sir. Alan looked at the brocade box with delight, eager to open it immediately to see what was going on.

At this time, Burris withdrew his hand and said, "You're welcome, my name is Burris Colin, from the Biancuihua family, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Uncle Burris." ”

"Where, it's too late for me to rejoice, Uncle Burris. ”

"Haha, that's good, then I'll just call you Allen. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Hehe, Allen, are you interested in coming to me to develop? Uncle Burris doesn't dare to say anything else, it's still no problem to ensure that you can successfully advance to the intermediate knight. Burris looked at Alan with a smile and a golden glint in his eyes.

"Uh~ I'm really sorry, I haven't thought about it so much at the moment, and I'm usually lazy, I'm afraid I'll live up to my uncle's high expectations. Alan hurriedly excused himself.

"That's it, it's okay, when you think it out, Uncle is always welcome here. Burris smiled awkwardly and sent someone to see Alan away.

As soon as he came out of the Knights' Alliance, Alan couldn't wait to open the brocade box.

In the sun, a round medal with a silver chain clip glitters silver, one of which is the emblem of the Knights' Union, with the year of its award at the bottom, and the coat of arms of the Principality of Liechtenstein, also engraved with the knight's number at the bottom. Next to the medal was a bag of gold coins, and Alan counted them, and there were ten gold coins. Finally, there is an identity document.

That's all there is in the brocade box.

Alan played with the knight's medal, smiled slightly, put these things back in the brocade box, and saw that it was still early, and walked towards the mercenary guild.

The Mercenary Guild sat diagonally across from the Knights' Alliance, and it didn't take Alan long before he arrived.

It's not as deserted as the Knights' League, bustling with people, constantly coming in and out.

Alan followed the crowd and walked into the mercenary guild.

In a large open-air square, groups of midshipmen and regular knights were scattered in small groups. Most of the members of a considerable group are wearing uniform costumes, and the name of the team is reflected on the epaulettes: Order Mercenary Group, Morning Light Squad, Wind Sweeping Mercenary Group, Emma Mercenary Team......

Alan was amazed, but he didn't expect that there were various mercenary teams of different sizes in the mercenary guild. Maybe he could build a team himself, Alan thought to himself.

After glancing around, Alan found the hall in front of him, and after a little inquiry, he knew that it was the hall where mercenary affairs were handled.

Alan was about to go to the office hall when he was stopped by the guards guarding the door of the hall.

"Only the knights are allowed to enter the affairs hall, so please wait outside the hall. The guard said to Allen with a blank face.

Alan was embarrassed and about to take out the knight's medal, when a ridicule came from next to him: "Little brat, have you lost your adult? Go home and play in the mud, this is not where you should come." ”

Alan looked for prestige and saw a group of trainee knights not far away, wearing yellow uniforms and epaulettes embroidered with "Emma Mercenary Team", and the voice was made by one of the young men with yellow muscles and curly hair.

Alan didn't want to deal with it, but the curly hair turned around and talked to the team members around him.

"What did I see, a milky hairy child actually wanted to go in, who gave birth to such an ignorant baby, I was about to laugh to death. There was a burst of laughter.

"yes, then why don't you die, do you need my help?" said Alan coldly as he walked behind Curly with a dark face.

Suddenly, the coercion of the official knight was emanated, and Curly Hair bore the brunt of it, and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with weak legs.

The official knights around frowned slightly, but they didn't come forward to say anything, probably the prestige of the knights needs to be maintained, if they themselves are mocked by the trainee knights, they are afraid that they will retaliate more ruthlessly, and they will do it directly.

Alan looked at Curly's fart and urine appearance, and for a moment he lost the desire to do it, turned around and walked towards the door of the hall.

"Can I go in?" Alan took out the knight's medal from the brocade box and shook it in front of the guards.

"Yes, you can. The guards are only quasi-knights, and they have already felt the coercion of Allen's knights just now, and now they see the knight's medal, how can there be any reason not to let them go, and quickly apologize: "The villain has no eyes, forgive me." What do you want to do?"

The guards are submissive, for fear of making Eren angry again.

"Well, I want to apply for mercenary status and apply for a mercenary certificate, I don't know where to go?" Alan didn't have a problem with the guards, they were just businessmen, but he was also happy to have someone to guide him.

"That's a good idea, please come with me, my lordship. The guard gave his companion a word of advice, and led Alan into the business hall.

It is a two-story office hall that can accommodate 100 people, and various tasks are entrusted and accepted here.

In the hall on the first floor, mercenaries of knight and above lined up outside the six isolated rooms to check and take on tasks.

Alan listened to the guard's explanation as he walked, and it was obvious that the guard was aware of what he was saying and knew that Alan was coming to the Mercenary Guild for the first time.

Only regular knights or higher-ranking knights can take on tasks independently, and those trainee knights outside the hall are just vassals of the mercenary team formed by each knight.

The entrance to the lobby on the second floor is on the other side. It's mainly a place where employers post tasks, and of course Allen's application for mercenary status is also on the second floor.

After a brief walk around the first floor, the guard led Alan out through the exit on the other side, turned a corner and went straight to the second floor.

There are relatively few people on the second floor, and there are only three rooms that provide business services.

The guards sent Alan to line up outside one of the rooms before leaving.

Soon, it was Alan's turn to go in.

Walking into the room, close the door with your hand, the noise outside disappeared instantly, and you couldn't hear a sound from the next room, and the room was so quiet that you could hear it clearly even if the needle fell on the ground.

A claustrophobic environment can maximize the confidentiality of employers, but it is also prone to certain unknowable things.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Allen's heart, especially after seeing a dignified and beautiful woman sitting behind the table in front of him.

"Isn't there any special service? Will it be expensive? I'm still young, do you want to refuse?"

Alan found himself thinking about it inexplicably, and felt a little funny, is this because he is single in two lives?

"Hee-hee, what is the little brother laughing at? Say it and make my sister laugh too. The woman behind the table saw that it was only a teenager who came in, and the child smiled inexplicably after closing the door, and couldn't help but quip.

"Uh, it's embarrassing. Alan was stunned for a while, and hurriedly put out an old and serious expression, and sat down opposite the woman in front of the table.

"I'm here to apply for mercenary status and apply for a mercenary certificate. ”

"Oh, if you want to become a mercenary, you must first become a full-fledged knight. The woman felt a little unbelievable at Alan's request, and couldn't help but remind her.

Alan didn't explain too much, and directly took out the knight's medal, and at the same time symbolically released the breath of a formal knight.

"Ah, it's really an official knight. The woman sat upright, looking at the little knight in front of her.

He was about eleven or twelve years old, his short brown hair was neatly combed, and his pale blue eyes were bright on his white face...... From the outside, I really can't tell that I look like a full-fledged knight.

While the woman was looking at Allen, Allen was also looking at the woman in front of her. Sexy, mature with a hint of youth, not like the appearance of going through the ordinary......

Well, Alan can't help but think about it again, it's really the resentment of a single nobleman!

There was silence in the room for a while, and finally the woman came back to her senses, smiled apologetically, and got serious.

"Hello, I'm Elena Finger, and I'm glad to serve you, honorable ~um~ knight!"

"Hello, I'm Alan Arnott, I'm here to apply for a mercenary certificate. ”

"Okay, please wait. Elena pulled out a form from a pile of documents on the desk and handed it to Alan.

"Please fill out this form and pay the handling fee of one gold and the membership fee of two gold. ”

"Oh, good. ”

......

Holding a mercenary badge engraved with a star, Eren walked out of the mercenary guild.

The production of the mercenary badge is much more rudimentary, made of black iron, engraved with a star and number, like an oversized paper clip, which can be pinned directly to clothing.

Alan is now only a one-star junior mercenary, and I heard that the higher the star level, the more you can enjoy some special benefits of the mercenary guild, and at the same time, you can start more difficult and rewarding missions.

And there is only one way to improve the star rating, and that is to constantly take on tasks and do tasks.

However, Alan doesn't have time to brush up on tasks now, he has more important things to do, and the mercenary matter has to be put aside for now.
