Chapter 126: Urgent Mission
Despite only a few drinks, Ulysses, who had never been good at drinking, fell into a state of half fainting and half barely sober.
As for the beast leader opposite him, he had already gone to the table to look for the stars, but he had actually killed a row of spirits, so that now half of the tavern was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.
However, the people in the tavern obviously knew this famous orc warrior in Taji City, and after skillfully collecting the empty wine bottles, they did not bother the beast leader who fell asleep, and it was obviously not the first time they had encountered such a situation.
"Ahem......" called for a glass of water to wake up, and Ulysses's head, which had become a little dizzy from drinking, basically regained consciousness.
It was time to go back, Angela and Sister Mira should have slept by now, and after stretching, Ulysses stood up and prepared to go back to the hotel.
At this moment, a rough voice peculiar to an orc warrior came from outside the door.
"Commander, are you there!"
"Commander, there is an urgent task, answer if you are here. ”
The sound came from more than one source, and soon a small group of heavily armed orc warriors appeared at the door of the tavern, looking around with anxious eyes.
"Ah, Captain, what's wrong with you!" one of the sharp-eyed ones soon spotted the Beast Leader lying under the table, and shouted a little bewildered.
"Hi, long time no see, everyone. Although Ulysses couldn't remember all their names because most of the orc warriors were hairy-faced, he was very familiar with the team in front of him.
Because they are the most elite squad in the Beast Corps, they have also fought side by side with him when hunting killers, and they are all straightforward and bold men.
"Yo, isn't this Ulysses, when did you go back to Taji, I haven't seen you in a long time. "Although he didn't recognize him at first like the leader of the beast, as soon as Ulysses opened his mouth, the leader of the team recognized him.
"Ah, it's Ulysses, are you drinking here with the captain, have you come back with the Kankana bastard? ”
"Ulysses, shouldn't you still be taking the priest exam, you can't pass the exam anyway, let's come to our regiment and mix with us, the regiment commander has always missed you, and the position of deputy regiment commander is ready for you. ”
With these orc warriors who had fought side by side, Ulysses felt like he was back a year ago, when he was an ordinary light magician.
This warm feeling in his heart is proof that he still has a "human heart", although he continues to enter deeper darkness, as long as these warm fragments are still shining, then he will not be completely lost in that darkness.
"The head of the regiment is really, he is so drunk, it seems that Ulysses has made him really happy that you are back, you know, the head of the regiment has always wanted to introduce you to someone. The team leader unceremoniously pulled the face of his own regiment leader, and then broke the big news.
"Uh...... Forget it. Ulysses had a big, shaggy face and muscular muscles in his mind, and that was what Kanka and the orc warriors looked like.
"Hahaha, Ulysses, you must have thought that the head of the regiment was going to introduce Kanka to the type he liked. This is a mistake, the head of the regiment is looking for you to be the little beauty of the rabbit and fox clans. They're not strong enough, they're not strong enough, but it seems like you humans like that. If you hadn't left, maybe the blind date had started, and the head of the group had sent all your portraits over. The squad leader broke the heavier news, and Ulysses understood how much the rough-looking regimental commander cared for him.
"Actually, the head of the regiment really values you, the popularity of this Most High God Church is a big trend, and we also need priests over there. It's a pity that it's okay for us to fight against the race, but reading really kills us. If you join our group, the head of the regiment is ready to fully support you to take the exam, and if you succeed in the exam, maybe you will be the future great priest of our orc race. The squad leader looked at Ulysses expectantly.
Is that so? Ulysses had received a lot of attention from the commander of the regiment before, and at that time he thought it was just Kanka's fault. Now it seems that the regimental commander has put more expectations in him.
If he hadn't met the Book of the Demon King at that time, maybe he would have really embarked on such a path and went to a distant place to become a priest who preached the gospel. He doesn't have much demand for his place of employment, whether it's a bustling metropolis or a distant grassland, he is willing to walk around and see the vast world with his own eyes.
"Well, Ulysses, have any plans to come back? I know that the head of the group has been waiting for you until now, and it is too difficult to find a light mage who is really willing to make friends with our orcs. ”
"When the time comes, it won't be a problem for Kankana bastard to be a prince, you will be the great priest of the orc royal family. Although they were chatting in a joking tone, Ulysses could tell that they were serious.
Having such a friend was the greatest wealth he had ever received in Taji City. "If I become a priest, I'll go to the prairie to have a look, and you'll entertain me then." Ulysses did not agree or refuse, who knows what the future holds, how could he have thought that he would become the current self a year ago.
"Hahahaha, okay, when the time comes, we will treat you the best wine and meat, as well as the little beauties of the rabbit and fox clans, so that you will definitely have a good time. Although it was only a vague answer, the squad leader was already very happy, God knows how difficult it is to pull a future priest, those civilized people who study and test all day, and there are a few people like Ulysses who can mingle with them.
"Wait, the priest can't indulge his own **......"
"Hahaha, this kind of thing, if you don't say it, I don't say it, and those little beauties don't say it, even God won't know about it......" The team leader looked at Ulysses with a "men understand" look, and then began to talk about meat jokes unscrupulously.
Ulysses' simplicity in "that aspect" is also quite a well-known anecdote among the Beast Corps.
"By the way, you just said that there was an urgent mission, did something happen?" Ulysses, who became more and more embarrassed the more he listened, took the initiative to change the subject, now he is not the simple him he was a year ago, and he also knows that the team leaders are making fun of him.
"Ah, really, I almost forgot, Captain. The squad leader unceremoniously kicked his own leader's ass again, only to be exchanged for a muffled "hum!" sound.
"No, the head of the regiment drank too much this time. ”
"Even if you wake up, I guess I can't help it. ”
"Just, just give up that task, it's not a lot of oil and water anyway, and you have to go to that kind of place. ”
The members of the orc team shook their heads in various ways, obviously knowing the combat effectiveness of their own regiment leader in this state.
"Actually, it's just a not-so-advanced mission, and something seems to have appeared in the small waterways of Taji City lately. The team leader explained to Ulysses some information about this urgent mission.
"Aren't there always monsters in the sewers?" Ulysses knew that things that lived in dark gutters were hard to deal with, and it could be said that every year the ruling class of the city issued a series of missions to rid the sewers of monsters.
However, the reason why there are monsters in the sewers is because of the large amount of garbage and waste created by humans, which form a complex chain of creatures in the dark sewers, and eventually some strange things will be born, and occasionally something from the sea will run into it.
It can be said that as long as humans continue to drain waste into the sewers, they will never disappear, and these low-level monsters can be regarded as a by-product of human cities, coexisting with humans.
"Of course, but this time it doesn't seem to be that kind of small guy, but a big guy, as long as anyone who has seen it, they all say that this guy is quite scary, maybe he accidentally ran in from the sea. The team leader hesitated for a moment, then named some of the monster's characteristics:
"There is no skin, the whole body is very slippery, as if there are tentacles, and it has already attacked many people. ”
"Monsters in the sea...... Speaking of creatures in the sea, I'm afraid no one knows how many kinds there are, after all, for the entire human world, the sea is a forbidden area within a forbidden area.
"Luckily, this monster doesn't seem to be eating people. However, it still scared the bunch of noble lords in the city half to death, saying that there would be tentacles coming out of their toilets to pull their intestines, and as a result, this urgent task was issued. ”
"I see, is that monster strong?" Ulysses already had some general understanding, this mysterious monster would always make people feel uneasy, and it was natural that those nobles who were not very strong would be afraid.
After all, not all nobles have enough force to resist monsters, and monsters don't care what your identity is. Therefore, all the monsters that appear in the city will make them issue a bounty to kill without hesitation.
And this is also a kind of task that mercenaries often receive.
"It's not very clear, but after attacking so many people and still unharmed, and not even one of them really saw this monster clearly, it is probably not a simple thing. The squad leader looked at the regimental commander who was still lying under the table and was asleep, it was obvious that the reason why they came here to find someone was for this urgent mission, and the regimental commander's strong strength was indispensable.
"Well, then, I'll go with you to see it. Ulysses felt that since he had returned to Taji, he should do something about the city that had left him with many fond memories.
In addition, after receiving so much care from the head of the regiment, he should also repay it.
