It was originally an institution that provided tasks for demon warriors and magicians to earn money and treasures.
It was formerly a wooden board nailed to a wall or stone wall, and the name of this board was the Bounty Wall, which is now called a billboard.
If you have a commission, write the commission on a piece of paper, then mark the reward you can get after completing the task, and post this piece of paper on the bounty wall.
Select the entrusted mage and demon warrior, they will tear off the piece of paper, and after completing the task, return the piece of paper to the delegator, and get paid.
However, most of these deals actually end in failure.
There is no guarantee, there is no proof, there are many clients who will regret or even give up the commission, and at this time, the person who accepts the commission happens to complete the task again, so there will be disputes between the two, and in the end, most of them end with the client being killed.
As a result, the bounty orders on the bounty wall are decreasing day by day.
Under such circumstances, the powerful magicians had no choice but to join the Imperial Military Organization and become weapons of war.
For a time, wolf smoke was everywhere, and there was a situation in which the seven countries competed for power.
A hundred years ago, Yun Lai once became the leader of the "Holy Emperor", the strongest magical mercenary legion of mankind on the continent of Braia, and later led them to participate in the "Battle of Blood Beasts", led them to establish the first magic guild on the continent of Braia, completely banning the bounty wall.
Since then, the name of the Magic Guild has been handed down.
With the collapse of the seven strongest empires of mankind, the territory of human existence was gradually deprived by other races, and in some areas, there was even a situation where humans mixed with other races.
In order to allow ordinary people to live with peace of mind, in order to deal with those monsters and aliens, the magic guild accepted more and more commissions, so it rose, and gradually formed a powerful force that could control the local area.
Today, the power of the Magic Guild on the continent of Plata is second only to the post-war "realm" established by the local noble group.
When Yunlai was invited to Sheila's house, her first thought was "treasure hunting" - rummaging through other people's homes like a robber.
However, before he could do anything, the little fox kicked him in the face.
In fact, Sheila's home looks shabby, with only a high table in the center of the living room, a few chairs leaning against the peeled wall, and a dimly lit interior.
There are a few glasses scattered on the table, and they are very clean.
After Sheila sat down Yunrai, she went to fetch a bottle of wheat wine.
"There's nothing in the house, but please drink some wheat wine, little fox?"
Sheila's face was a little reflective in the candlelight, her skin was fair and delicate, her eyelashes were thin and long, and there were a few small moles scattered randomly on her face.
Although she had a bright smile on her face, she still couldn't hide the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.
The little fox watched with curiosity as Sheila poured the wheat wine into the goblet and then jumped out of Yunlai's arms onto the table, stretched out two little paws, took the glass in her arms, and stuck out her tongue with curiosity and dipped it a little.
After a few moments, the little fox threw away the glass in a dizzy state, and after a few laps on the table, fell to the table.
"Poof!"
Seeing the little fox getting drunk, Sheila and Yunlai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm really drunk when I get drunk......"
After laughing heartily a few times, Sheila's expression slowly faded, and the smile faded, revealing a touch of sadness.
I don't know if the scene that happened just now touched her heartstrings, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.
Yun Lai looked at her in a daze, a little dazed, how could she say that she cried.
Sheila tried to hold back, but when she reached out to wipe her tears, she found that the tears were like water bursting the embankment, and they couldn't be wiped clean at all.
Seeing her like this, Yunlai sighed helplessly and handed over something.
Sheila was stunned when she saw this, and her tears stopped.
"What are you?"
Yun Lai held the drunken little fox, handed it to Sheila and said, "If you don't have a clean handkerchief, take the little fox to wipe your tears." ”
Hearing this, Sheila looked at the snow-white little fox who was still smacking her lips in her dreams, and couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed......
Shee stretched out her hand and hugged the little fox, and she put her face against the little fox, the little fox's fur was soft, warm, and comfortable.
"It's my brother's business......"
Sheila hugged the little fox and began to speak, and after more than an hour......
"I probably understand, your brother Ricky Ademia, the only great knight in the town of Carbron, a few days ago, on the way to escort the mayor's pearl Serena Lansius to the neighboring town of Karlovina, was attacked by a demon warrior of unknown origin, although your brother defeated all those demon warriors with one enemy, but he did not expect to kill a dark wizard halfway, so that Serena suffered a curse and fell into a coma, and has not woken up yet. After learning about this, the mayor of this town put all the blame on your brother, and after seven days, if Serena can't wake up, he's going to execute your brother, right?"
Sheila nodded gloomily.
After exhaling a breath, Yun Lai leaned back slightly, leaned back in his chair, and said: "The mayor of Carbon Town is really willful, the only big knight in the town has been executed, if the demon spirit attacks, when the time comes, who can defend it?"
Since the fall of the Seven Empires, the human world has fallen apart, and even in the far east of Braia, Carbon and neighboring towns are attacked by demons on the day of the full moon.
In this world, the fifteenth day of every month is basically a full moon night, and that night, the magic power of the demon spirits will increase exponentially because of the absorption of the full moon and moonlight, and the number will also increase exponentially, and then they will rise from the ground and rush to the nearby human settlements to kill humans!
At this time, the safety of the human race is all guarded by the Magic Guild and the knights of the town!
The Great Knight is the soul of the Knights, and without the leadership of the Great Knights, the Knights will become a plate of scattered sand and collapse!
This phenomenon is actually very interesting, a hundred years ago, when he was idle and bored, Yun Lai once studied it, and he thought, maybe in this world, there is a power of faith, but it has not been brought up by the people of this world.
"There's a new Grand Knight in town!"
Hearing this, Yunlai was so frightened that her legs trembled, and she kicked forward, and the whole person almost fell down with the wooden chair.
"What, there will be a new Grand Knight so soon?"
Sheila nodded and said, "Carl Palos." ”
Yun Lai squinted, it seems that in the hundred years that he has been asleep, the so-called power of faith has gradually died out.
"And what do you want me to do for you?" asked Yunlai.
"Wake up Serena, and if she does, the mayor may be able to take her life back. Sheila took a step forward, approached Yunlai, and said with some excitement.
Looking at Sheila, who was eager to put her face on her face, Yunlai finally understood that in Sheila's heart, magicians were divine and omnipotent.
It seemed to her that as long as the magician cast a random spell, the mayor's daughter would wake up.
It's just that the reality is cruel, and the magicians on the continent of Beria can't lift the curse of the wizards, only the wizards have a way.
After all, the bell must be tied to the bell.
So, Yunlai decides to go to the wizard.
"Looking for a wizard, but how?" said Sheila, the expression on her face was complicated, with hatred mixed with fear.
Yunlai smiled mysteriously and said, "Then it depends on whether you can let me see Serena." ”
Sheila fell silent.
At this time, the little fox in Sheila's arms woke up, with a blank expression on its confused face, and after stretching out its paws and rubbing its eyes, it stretched out its waist in Sheila's arms.
"Woke up so soon?"
Sheila asked with a smile.
The little fox nodded, then yawned, jumped easily, jumped into Yunlai's arms, squinted and enjoyed rubbing against Yunlai's chest.
Looking at the cute little fox, Yun Lai couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Forget it, since I have accepted your commission, then I'll figure out a way." ”
The partition wall has ears, and Yunlai has long noticed it.
The group of people who followed him were eyeing the little fox, but because of the little fox's strong performance, they didn't dare to make a move.
However, the group of people who followed Sheila were different, and they seemed to have another purpose.
"Sure enough, in this world, things are often not as simple as they seem. ”
Yunlai laughed lightly, and Sheila didn't understand the meaning of Yunlai's words.
The little fox poked his head out of Yun Lai's arms vigilantly, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
"Sheila!"
A clear and strong voice sounded, Sheila was stunned, and the expression on her face showed a hint of surprise, not far away, at the door, a tall young man wearing a knight's uniform appeared.
"Brother!"
Seeing her brother appear here, Sheila's face dissipated with surprise and turned into excitement, and then the whole person rushed out.
The man in the knight's uniform saw Sheila ushering in, but suddenly turned away, and Sheila followed in a little panic, and disappeared from view soon after.
"Little fox, you chase after you. ”
The little fox was taken aback and asked, "What about you?"
Yunlai smiled: "I still have to greet guests!"
