Cautious but a little petty guest," Quest paced from behind the counter and gently closed the sandalwood box that the half-sheep man was holding, "but I'm sure he'll be back, and I have a hunch that he's going to be a big customer." ”

Picky customers are not the best customers, but they are the ones who are really willing to spend money on good products. In fact, Puu's words had already moved the shapeshifters. He was indeed very interested in this box of sandalwood, so he had to check the condition.

Where it is suitable to test the performance of the product, he has already had a draft, and it is just on the way. After coming out of the Ten Thousand Grass Hall, the shapeshifter walked directly into an alley, and when it came out again, the clothes on its body changed to the standard burqa of the gods and non-gods.

He still ordered a sedan chair, and the sedan chair bearer was still a winged race. Under the shoulders of the two hoofers, the shapeshifters quickly arrived at their destination in a sedan chair, the Ratcatcher's Guild, the joint office hall of the guilds in the city's secretary district.

The Ladies Quarter may be the most powerful and prestigious district in the city, but the people who live in the Clerk's District proudly claim that it is their district that keeps the city running. This district belonged to bureaucrats, scribes, scholars, and professional guilds. Here, everything is clockwork, and all activities are carried out according to established regulations.

In reality, those claims couldn't be further from the truth. In this district, there is the Hall of Records and the Hall of Speakers, the contracts and mouthpieces necessary for the daily life of the city. Without them, there would be no law, no evidence of title, no record of debts, no record of arrests, and no taxes.

People in the secretarial district like to work hard in order to maintain "normalcy". The streets are constantly patrolled and the buildings are always tended to, and it's not as inhomogeneous as the ladies' quarters, nor as dangerous as the rampant and noisy nests. Travelers from the lower planes don't come here very often, but the Barkeos of the physical plane and creatures from the upper planes like to visit it.

In the secretary's district, common fellows include: practitioners in the financial industry, importers of exotic goods, intermediaries of various forces, staff of major service guilds, and clerical personnel who can write several languages proficiently. And the rat catcher guild that the shapeshifters are looking for is naturally in the secretary's district.

It's just that because of resources, prestige, wealth...... For other reasons, the guild could not have its own independent office building like the large professional guilds. Together with some other small guilds, it can only lease a shared office hall to conduct business. However, as is the case with the secretarial districts, they will try to whitewash their doors as much as possible.

"Welcome to the halls of the Guilds. You can find more than 18 professional guilds here at once, instead of having to go through the streets and alleys. There is a convenient and efficient service, and many professionals are at your service. I'm Severly the Clerk, and I'm here for you. "A smartly dressed female cat-man, a shape-shifter came over to sell business as soon as she entered the hall.

Then the shapeshifter who hid himself in a hooded burqa, unfazed by such a warm attitude, "Listen, kitten. If you're talking with eyes that aren't looking for the place of my purse, then your words will be more convincing. But since I do have some needs at the moment, the offense has been revealed. I'm looking for the Rat Catcher's Guild, please lead the way. ”

With these words, he stretched his robe forward, revealing the crest of the gods on the inside of the cuffs. Upon seeing the mark, the cat-man clerk Severly wisely closed her mouth, then turned slightly to point the way to the shapeshifter.

They found the Rat Catcher Guild in the corner of the office hall. Although this line of work may not sound very powerful, since catching rats is indeed an important part of the daily municipal work in the city of Seals, the rat catcher's guild still occupies a separate compartment in the office hall. This was the end of Sphilily's guidance, and she simply wrote down her name on the guild's sign-in sheet, so that the shapeshifters would receive a small commission if they did business in the Ratcatcher's Guild. With that done, she turned away.

"Welcome to you, the Rat Catcher Guild has the most professional rat trap service and is sure to be able to meet your needs. "Entering the cubicle of the Rat Catcher's Guild, the guild clerk who stayed here was an owl-shaped man with the head of a night owl, and he greeted the shapeshifter in a voice similar to the chirping of birds, "From the home rodent extermination service worth one plague coin to the arrangement of the 'rat death' formation worth fifty platinum coins, our guild has a service to meet your needs......"

“...... The Broken Temple is suffering from a rat infestation," not wanting to listen to its nagging, the shapeshifter directly interrupted his business introduction, "I am now here to issue a quest bounty to your guild on behalf of the gods and non-gods. Solving the rat infestation caused by the Skullrine there will reward you with a bounty of 200 Platinum Coins, and if the Skullwig's 'group consciousness' is completely resolved, the bounty will be doubled. ”

Hearing that a big business was coming to the door, the owl-shaped clerk immediately rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a standard magic contract, then spread it out and wrote the request that the customer had just made. He pushed the contract in front of the shapeshifter and didn't say anything more. Familiar with the rules of the Seal City, the shapeshifter twisted the ring on his hand and pressed it against the parchment with the magical pact written on it.

Fire-burned lines spread across the parchment, and soon formed the coat of arms of a god who was not a god. After confirming that every line was accurate, the owl-shaped clerk breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord, I immediately submitted this bounty in the guild announcement. However, depending on the requirements of your mission and the difficulty of your mission, you will need to pay a minimum of half of the bounty in advance. ”

With a "clang", a small calfskin sewn bag was thrown in front of the owl by the shapeshifter, "There are a hundred platinum coins in there," and after paying the advance, he began to wander around the compartment, as if admiring the displays of the Rat Catcher's Guild.

Rows of teak shelves painted pure white are lined with rat trap props: sticky rat boards, trap cages, rat traps, fake sausages, and more. In addition to this, there are also some formalin jars soaked in various mouse organs, dotted within. In the corner of this compartment, there are also several cages with live mice and single-headed gavin rats, and there are constant "chirping" sounds from them.

"It looks professional. ”
