Chapter 19: The Ghost of the Academy

I tried it for one night, and the next day Watson got up at noon......

He finally understood the reason why rune bullets were sold at such a high price on the market, that is, the difficulty of making this kind of thing is really higher than he imagined, I don't know how much, a person's energy is always limited, and the time to focus all their attention in one place is even more limited, and one of the most important qualities to make rune bullets is extreme concentration. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of this, Watson's initial attempts failed without exception, and at some point during the production process, his attention would shift, causing his hand movements to pause and shift, and finally fall short.

The blow of continuous failure to people is self-evident, after more than a dozen failures in a row, even Watson feels a little irritable, after all, watching his hard work scrapped again and again, normal people can hardly bear it.

However, after discovering one thing, Watson stopped this meaningless negative emotion, because he found that his concentration level and the amount of time he spent holding it improved a lot after many focused carvings.

He was very pleased with this result, and the increase in concentration helped him tremendously in all aspects, such as the enemy's feints and confusion spells in battle, which would reduce the effect on him due to the increase in concentration.

Moreover, the results of the carving are not without results, and the struggle of most of the night, coupled with the talent of dark energy control, still allowed him to succeed in 4 dark energy bullets, according to the notes in the book, the effect of this bullet is to give the enemy a certain amount of magic damage when hitting the enemy and delay the time for wound healing.

However, these bullets Watson did not intend to sell, he was not short of this amount of money now, and the effect of these bullets staying with him was far greater than selling them for money.

After washing in the bathroom in the bedroom, I took the dumplings on the quilt into my arms and woke up, and then went back to the studio to clean up the table, mainly to throw those discarded bullets into the garbage bag, and then put the rune bullet making books and tools in the locked bedside table in the master bedroom and lock them.

Carrying a garbage bag and putting on the equipment, after checking that there were no problems, he walked out of the house, the first thing Watson had to go to was the breakfast shop next to the Demon Hunting Guild, and then went into the guild to see if there were any tasks to take, before the production of rune bullets was completed, the task reward was still all his source of income, and the most important thing was that Watson had not forgotten the prompts that the system was happy to do every day, and his lifespan could all count on the souls of those monsters.

After walking for about ten minutes, Watson returned to the Glory Neighborhood, where the boy who was about to enter the mercenary guild was noisy last night, and the cleaning staff was cleaning up the blood stains on it......

A fried egg, milk, and two loaves of bread were all Watson's breakfast, and the dumplings were still different kinds of canned fish, and by the time he finished eating, the sun that had been red when he went out had become a little impossible to look at...... The summer sun is always so uncomfortable.

Entering the Demon Hunting Guild, probably because it was still in the morning, the hall on the first floor was also a little deserted at this time, only seven or eight scattered tables were still sitting and eating the breakfast provided by the guild for free, and even the dozen or so waiters who came yesterday were now only three or four of them doing the cleaning work.

Walked straight up to the second floor and into the manual release of the mission, where there weren't many people working as Watson thought, only a few staff members sitting behind their desks, some of them eating breakfast.

"Is there anything you can help with? I'm free right now...... The only one here. ”

Watson was still looking for a task agent who seemed to be idle, when a woman's voice came from the table beside him.

"My name is Watson, and I want to take on a mission, but the guild's working hours don't seem to have started yet, have they?"

Pulling a wooden chair and sitting in front of the woman, Watson glanced at the woman in front of him, who was dressed solemnly and had a very gentle temperament.

"My name is Hermione, you did come a little early, like us mission agents will probably arrive after 8 o'clock in the morning, I came early after breakfast at home because I live relatively close to here and some work has not been completed yesterday. ”

Hermione smiled and patted the two stacks of papers beside her.

"Are you guys recruited by the guild? Or are you introduced by special people? I think your workload is not small. ”

Thinking that the workload of the task intermediary is indeed not small, Watson asked with some curiosity.

"The guild has a special personnel department, and the personnel of a large guild office like this are not just a single person, we all need to be highly educated and have a clean family background to go through professional training before we can sit here. Of course, it would be nice if it was related, for example, my father was one of the task agents here, so people like us will be given priority when applying for jobs, after all, everyone in the family works here. ”

Hermione didn't shy away from talking about his father's work and seemed a little proud, and it seemed like working in the Demon Hunting Guild was a pretty good job indeed.

"Does Wildas have a school?university, or something else?"

Watson is now a little curious about what form of so-called higher education is.

"Of course, there are universities, and there are many of them, at least there are three in Dongcheng District, but one of them is an aristocratic school, and only those merchants and children of nobles can sign up, and we, ordinary citizens, of course, can only enter the other two universities for commoners. ”

There was no dissatisfaction when Hermione said this, the system of class society was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most people here did not think that there was anything wrong with class division, and the upper class should have its own school, because even if the middle class people were allowed to go to aristocratic schools, they could not afford the expensive tuition.

"Tell me about the mission, I've just arrived in Verdath, and it's time to take on a mission to familiarize yourself with the situation here, and of course the pay should be higher. ”

Watson said.

"What is your current Demon Hunter level? I need to know your level to determine what level of mission you can take on right now. The tasks in the guild are also difficult, and the more difficult the task, the higher the reward and the greater the risk. ”

Hermione said as she held out her hand to Watson.

"It's probably the level of a junior demon hunter, you can give me a task of this level now, I have already killed a bronze tooth werewolf before, so I believe that this level of task can still be handled. ”

Watson took off the black reverse cross from his neck and took out the remaining bronze tooth and handed it over, also to try to get Hermione to introduce him to some good tasks, after all, judging by the records alone, he was now just a demon hunter who had just become a demon hunter.

"Wow, this wolf tooth isn't that easy to get, let me find it for you...... Ha, I told you about the university just now, and now there happens to be a task issued by the aristocratic school in Dongcheng District, and the reward is 5 gold coins, which is quite a generous task. ”

Hermione pulled the yellow one out of a large stack of folders, flipped it up, and then looked up and said.

"Talking about the goal of the mission, is there a monster in that school? Or is it something else, I think as a noble school itself should have a lot of power, and if you want to ask us for help, there must be something difficult to solve. ”

Watson wasn't in a hurry to take on this task, after all, no matter how good the pay is, he has to ensure that he can get it safely, right?

"Nice vigilance, the description of this mission seems quite general...... In general, there has been a recent rumor at Winston University that a female ghost has appeared in the back garden of the dormitory area to attack the students who go there at night, and it seems that several people have been injured or mentally insane because of this, so the school has spent a lot of money to hire a demon hunter to "confirm" that there is nothing wrong there. ”

Looking up and down, Hermione summarized the situation and recounted the general outline of the mission to Watson, but she had a look of confusion on her face when it came to confirming that there was nothing wrong with the school's back garden.

"Clumsy cover-up, isn't it? What else do you want me to confirm that it's normal, I think it must have been believed by the school's leadership or simply seen the ghost to protect the school's reputation, and such a high reward is probably also a hush money required to be kept secret. ”

It doesn't take much effort to think, this kind of PR word, Watson said that he has seen a lot, and believes that no matter how many people are dead or crazy, the school will try its best to cover up this kind of thing, after all, this is a place where knowledge is taught, not a haunted house.

"So are you going to accept this task or choose something else? There seems to be a lot of hidden reason in this...... But in terms of pay, it's really the ones that are relatively high for your level. ”

Hermione opened a notebook in front of her, looked at it for a moment, and said.

"That's it, with such a high pay, you always have to try, if you fail, quit, I'm a newcomer now, and occasional failure is always allowed. ”

Watson shrugged his shoulders and said that he was still in the stage of accumulating experience, and that failure was also for more perfect success in the future.

The completion of local tasks is the data that all guilds are pursuing, which means how much trust and support you will gain in this area, and whether those rich people will trust some of their things to their guilds to complete and pay relative rewards, but newcomers like Watson, guilds are also allowed to fail.

The Demon Hunter Guild has a clear rule in this regard, that is, if the demon hunter who has just become a demon hunter fails in the first three tasks, then the demon hunter will not be held accountable under normal circumstances and pay compensation to the client, and after three tasks, if the task fails, then a certain fee will be charged to the demon hunter as compensation to the client, because some tasks have a time limit, and once they fail, then the loss of the client naturally needs to be compensated.
