Chapter 37: The Impossible (1)
When Angus pushed open the hatch, Levi was still basking in the afterglow of victory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Unexpectedly, he still made a turtle. Levi smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and there were many people sitting next to him. In front of the people around him, he came to an impromptu performance with a bad stomach. Learning Jonathan's tone, Levi pinched his throat and shouted, "I'm going to make it difficult for you to do it!"
Needless to say, everyone else around him was amused.
Especially on that day, the crowd of people who were also sitting at the table laughed together. Clarke, like him, shuddered with laughter, though the burly dragonman immediately retracted his expression - it thought that its relationship with Levi was not close enough to be a common enemy. Unlike it, Ban, who is a little less restrained, laughs and coughs at the same time. As Levi spoke, it took a sip of ale, and it just cagged in its throat. Affected by this, Ban's tossed tears were about to come out.
At this time, Angus's push of the door undoubtedly had a special effect.
This large group of people gathered around looked at him one after another, all with a look of hope.
"How's it going, my dear Angus Commander?" Levi shouted impatiently, "What's going on outside now, doesn't the whole of Winter Dragon City know about it?"
The people who sat beside him on a stool also echoed him.
Seeing this group of people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Angus is a black line on his face. Originally, he came up with the trick he had yesterday, but he was just going to respond to the emergency scene. But I didn't expect these restless guys to really have so much fun.
Give me a pause. The knight's face was bruised, and he silently clenched his fists.
But Angus then sighed, knowing that these guys would not recognize their mistakes. At this moment, Angus felt that he was going to die prematurely sooner or later, purely for sorrow. There was no way, with the bold bastards in front of him, he could only be frightened. The focus was on Levi, if others were suffering from ringworm scabies, his boss would be in serious trouble.
Of course, it's important to get down to business.
"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" said Angus, grimacing.
This sentence, which can often be heard in life, has extraordinary lethality at the moment. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know why.
Levi was the only one who figured out what he had noticed.
So, in Angus's astonished gaze, he uttered a crucial sentence, "Is there something wrong?"
You're not stupid.
Although he was disgusted with Levi's various irresponsibilities, Angus felt more and more that this guy was pretending to be confused. And the purpose of his doing this, Angus felt that it was purely because he was lazy. After following Levi for a while, Angus got to know his boss more and more. This irresponsible bastard seems to like to put his own business on others (especially himself) to do, leaving him to be idle.
"So to speak. Your Excellency, things are indeed going a little differently than we had planned at the beginning. "It's still business," Angus nodded earnestly.
At this moment, the room was completely devoid of the cheerful atmosphere just now.
Levi, the shopkeeper, also frowned, "This is the bad news you want to say." He saw Angus nodding, and when the knight was about to speak, he suddenly interrupted: "Let's talk about that first, let's be happy first." ā
The people in the cabin looked at Angus again.
"The good news is that our actions last night have indeed been spread. Angus had no choice but to comply with Levi's request, "Now in the entire Winter Dragon City, no one takes the declaration of the Turan family seriously. I have to say, the plan you have in mind to 'tear your clothes and carry them to the streets' is indeed very powerful. ā
"Anything else?" said Levi, smiling from ear to ear.
"Seeing that the person in charge of the mercenary association has become like that, but his Turan family is like a stuffy gourd, he doesn't do anything at all, and others naturally don't dare to offend us. Now rumors are spreading, and I feel that the most reliable one seems to be the one that was not approved by the Turan family when Young Master Jonathan made the declaration at the beginning. Because of this, he is very passive in this matter. As a result, when it came to the accident, even if he had the heart to rescue, he didn't dare to make a noise in the family at all, after all, his grandfather was famous. Angus, as a bystander, couldn't help but shake his head, "It turns out that it's even worse now, things have reached this point, and I can't hide it if I want to." He also put on a bad reputation for treachery because of this, and the credibility of what this young master said in the future will be greatly reduced. ā
"If you say this, doesn't it mean that when he goes home, he will have to take his old man's board. Levi gloated, "I guess his white and tender ass will suffer." ā
The cabin was full of joy again.
But regardless of their thoughts, Angus also showed up and said, "When I went to buy supplies today, others were surprised and scared of me. Like the guy who sold me ale, as soon as I arrived at the store, he offered to entertain me. On the surface, he asked me to go to another house, but in fact he stuffed me with a note and asked me to make a secret deal with him. When he paid for the goods, he gave me ten more barrels of ale, saying that he was thanking me for giving him face, and begged me not to make a noise. In the end, he sighed regretfully, "It seems that in the eyes of others, we are already first-class hob meat." ā
Hearing this, the people in front of him were already laughing.
It was only when the voice died down that Levi continued, "Now, you can tell that bad news, everyone is happy enough." ā
"The bad news is that you've completely offended the Turan family and the Mercenary Guild. Angus stared at him with a serious look in his eyes.
Levi just didn't see this criticism and buckled his nose.
"The Turan family will not mention it for now. The Mercenary Association has quite a problem with what you do. Though they must be at fault for this, the handle is still in our hands. Now there is a lot of uproar, and they don't dare to say anything more about it. Angus continued, "Anyway, behind the Mercenary Guild is the church of Pan, the god of the wilderness. As clergy, they still have to nod their faces. In the face of this kind of scandal, I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach. But they still have a certain amount of energy......"
"Is that all the bad news about?" Levi couldn't help but interrupt.
"No!" Angus shook his head directly, "The bad news is that they have given us a challenge. The one who had your pants stripped of was issued an order at the Mercenary Guild this morning, first with a lot of apologies, all nonsense that shouldn't be deceived, and then a disposition to us. What he meant was, didn't we want to be mercenaries, and we still had a contract to conclude a mercenary group, and he fully approved of it. But according to the rules and regulations, it gives us a trial to use to prove our abilities. ā
"This is it. Hearing this, Levi looked puzzled, "I heard from you, the trials that need to be completed to form a mercenary group are at most a D-level mission." Isn't the corresponding difficulty very low? Listen to you, any person on our side can do it alone. Could it be that they don't even want this face in order to get revenge on us......"
"That's right, it's giving us a D-class mission this time. Angus smiled bitterly, "But it's a D-class mission that has been stranded for three hundred years, and its actual difficulty is not far from being the highest S-class." ā
"What's going on?" Levi frowned.
"You still don't have much actual experience, so you don't know the twists and turns here. Angus, as a person who had come over, said with emotion at this moment, "The mission level of the Mercenary Association follows the old calendar of Cancus, setting the difficulty to six levels of S, A, B, C, D, and E, and also a set of evaluation systems tailored for each level. This is indeed very reasonable, but the problem is that its implementation depends on people, which inevitably leads to various errors. ā
"But the error is too great. Levi spat violently, "S's thing, it's D, those guys in the Mercenary Association are too wasteful." If I were their leader, I would have to be angry with them. ā
"You're right, sometimes the error is so big. Angus continued, "I have heard that because of these mistakes, the gods of the wilderness have descended to earth more than once. Once, he was so angry that he even directly launched a landslide, sinking a mercenary association into the ground, and even involved thousands of people. ā
was robbed by his words, and Levi also lost his temper, "Then what's going on here?"
"We can only say that we are too unlucky, this kind of thing can happen. Angus rolled his eyes, "The cause of the incident is a village here near the Mangcang Mountains, Antler Village. It is the northernmost territory of Winter Dragon City, and it was formerly a small stronghold established by a group of hunters in order to go into the mountains to hunt demonic beasts. Three hundred years ago, the villagers there were harassed by goblins, and the messenger came to Winterdragon City by water, and announced this mission in the mercenary association to 'destroy the monsters around Antler Village'. At the time, the Mercenary Guild rated it a D class. But the day after it was released, things took a weird turn. ā
Angus sighed, "Winterdragon City has received the news. It turned out that the monster that appeared there was not a goblin at all, but an ancient dragon named Zamoxi. The goblins who harassed Antlers were actually just unlucky people who were driven out of their hometown during the dragon attack. Thus, this D-class mission, which had been stranded for three hundred years, was released. ā
Speaking of which, he didn't know what expression to use.
"On the second day of the mission, everyone in Antlers Village had been picked up by the griffon formation of Winter Dragon City, and it was completely abandoned. Even the village no longer exists, and this task of driving out the surrounding monsters is naturally meaningless, so it was put on hold for a long time, and finally forgotten. Three hundred years have passed, and Zamosi has also died of a relapse of old illness, but the dragonborn it left behind has not yet cleared its poison. There's even a new species of Wyvern in it, the Scorpion-tailed Wyvern, and even legendary monsters have been revealed......" (To be continued.) )
