CHAPTER XLIII
"Didn't you hear anything about your brother over there?" asked Natsuhime with a tired face as she lay lazily on the bed in a simple room in an ordinary hotel in Yangdu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Nope. "Obviously, Fidelia has nothing to gain here.
Natsuki looked at Fidelia with some concern, and the care in her red eyes made Fidelia feel a burst of warmth.
"Maybe he's delayed because of something, maybe he will get the news of your brother's appearance in Yangdu in a few days. ā
However, even Natsuhime herself who said it didn't feel realistic.
"Thank you for your concern, but brother, I'm afraid. Both of them understood that fact, but no one dared to speak up about the most realistic outcome.
"Natsuhime-sama, what should I do?" Fidelia, who raised her head again, her eyes were already moist, and the color that appeared in her beautiful blue pupils was slightly red, making her already beautiful posture even more pitiful, no matter who saw her like this, they would have the idea of wanting to protect her, right?
"From now on, you will treat me as your sister, and I will do my best to fulfill all the responsibilities of a sister. ā
"Huh?" Natsuji's sudden speech shocked Phidelia, "You're so wonderful to be my sister?"
"What's wrong?
"No, no, no, how can I dislike you? rather, it's disgusting for me, is it really okay for me to become sisters with such a wonderful Natsuhime-sama or something?"
"Of course," Natsuhime smiled heartily, but there was a hint of imperceptible gloom to her smile. "That being said, it's just that now there's a serious problem. ā
"We're running out of money. "It's a very real problem, Xia Ji's original funds have basically been consumed now, if they don't find any way to make money, I'm afraid the two of them will have to face the fate of starvation.
"I heard good rumors about this when I inquired about my brother's whereabouts. ā
"Nice rumors?"
"I don't know if you've heard, it's said that the central capital is now under the impetus of Vis Sterling, and has formed a mechanism called the Adventurer's Guild. āā
Similar rumors have indeed been heard, but Xia Ji did not know what the actual situation was, and did not inquire, and Fidelia apparently did the opposite.
"It is said that anyone can submit a commission to the guild and pay a bounty for the adventurers affiliated with the guild to solve these commissions, and if the commission can be successfully completed, the adventurer will receive a bounty, and the guild will receive a portion of the bounty as a share. ā
"Sounds pretty good. Natsuki became intrigued by this emerging mechanic.
"On the other hand, if the commission is messed up, the client will not only receive all the bounties, but also receive a large amount of liquidated damages paid by the guild, and most of this liquidated damages will be paid by the adventurer who executes the commission. ā
Natsuki didn't say anything more, but Fidelia could already tell from her expression that she was moved.
The headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild, the Fallen Leaf Pavilion, was established only two days ago, and its name had already spread throughout the central capital. Because of the disappearance of magic, a large number of unemployed people who refused to let go of this re-employment opportunity, as well as all kinds of uneasiness caused by the chaos after the disappearance of magic, and citizens who wanted to make a commission to the guild surrounded the place.
It took a lot of effort for Natsuki to get into front of the guild receptionist from the crowd, because she was afraid of hurting others, Natsuki kept suppressing her strength when she shuttled through the crowd, but in the eyes of others, this situation was like a helpless girl trying to pass through the crowd, right?
It was a young lady, and in terms of appearance, it was obviously a big difference from Xia Ji and Phidelia, but it was also a young lady above the average level of the central capital, and it could be classified as a beauty.
"Wow," she exclaimed in surprise at the sight of a beautiful girl who was far more beautiful than herself, but her surprise was immediately replaced by her respectful attitude towards the guests. "What kind of commission does this beautiful woman want to make?"
"I'm not here to make a commission, I want to be an adventurer belonging to the guild. ā
"Huh?" Miss who felt a little surprised by Natsuhime's words took a long time to squeeze out a word.
Natsuhime, who thought it was the young lady who didn't hear her words clearly, repeated loudly again, "I want to be an adventurer!"
This silenced all the noisy people present, and all eyes were focused on Xia Ji.
And this quiet atmosphere didn't last long before it was broken by the burst of laughter from the crowd.
"It's funny to see that girls so young want to be adventurers. ā
"Little girl, go back and wash and sleep, this is not an adult world that you children can meddle in. ā
"Hmph, there should be a limit to your own strength, right?
All kinds of words came out of the crowd, and without exception, they were all laughing at Xia Ji and them.
However, Xia Ji ignored these miscellaneous bystanders who laughed at her, and continued to ask the young lady at the reception seriously. "So, what does it take to be an adventurer?"
"Okay, please fill out this document first, and then take the afternoon test, if you pass, you can become an adventurer. With that, the young lady took out a document with great skill, wrote the date on it, and handed it to Natsuhime.
"After filling it out, hand it over to the examiner over there, and your name will be called when the assessment time is up. As she spoke, the young lady pointed to the strong man who was standing aside and glared at her with stern eyes.
"Okay, thanks. Because of Xia Ji's words of thanks, Miss's body seemed to shake, did she feel that she didn't do anything worthy of thanks?
The action of filling out the form was very fast, but I hesitated to fill in what I was good at, and finally I wrote swordsmanship.
Ignoring the examiner who looked at him with strange eyes after receiving and consulting his documents, Natsuhime left the hall of the crowded Fallen Leaf Pavilion directly.
