"President, this is some of the recent situation in the guild, please review. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The accountant of the guild put a document on Watson's desk and stepped back, and Watson, who was standing at the window looking at the heavy snow outside, sighed helplessly, since the first snow fell, the rain and snow on Kandas's side seemed to have been opened, and it had been raining for three or four days one after another, and the temperature had dropped again, so low that people couldn't get up as soon as they entered the bed.

However, as the president of the Kandath Demon Hunting Guild, Watson still had to keep coming to the guild once a day, sitting for an hour or two to see what was going on in the guild.

Sitting back in his chair, he picked up the folder and looked through it for a while, the dense numbers and various categories of terms on it made Watson deeply understand why so many demon hunters refused to be the guild leader.

"Ah...... Viola, come and help me take a look, my eyes hurt so much, cut ...... I didn't come today. ”

I just wanted to use the routine of the previous two days to ask Viola to come over to help me deal with official business, but I remembered that when I wanted to drag Viola out of bed and come to the Demon Hunting Guild with me this morning, I was sternly rejected by the other party, on the grounds that she had entrusted everything to her a few days ago, and now she was going to give herself a vacation.

In desperation, Watson could only endure boredom and flip through the pages of the past, and write his own instructions below, and from time to time he had to take a seal from the side and stamp a few seals, which was not a lot of work, but it was a little cumbersome, and it took Watson more than an hour to finish these things.

I stood up and stretched and wanted to go home, but at this time, there was a knock on the office door again, and a task agent walked in from outside the door in a bit of a hurry, holding a task scroll in his hand.

"President Watson, this is the latest A-level mission, and no other scholar-level demon hunter has free time in Kandas, but this mission seems to be very urgent, so I want to ask you for advice, I wonder if you are free now?"

"A-grade? It's urgent...... Take it and I'll take a look. ”

He took the task scroll from the intermediary's hand, and the contents on it made Watson's brow furrow quickly furrow.

Hazy Town, located in the mountains around the city of Kandas, is a town that has recently become famous for selling mountain medicinal materials, originally just a little-known town, I don't know what's going on, in the past two years, a large number of medicinal materials have been inexplicably produced, which makes the town develop rapidly, and it has become a town with a very high standard of living in the Kandas.

As for the information about why this town appeared in the Demon Hunting Guild, on the one hand, it was because there was some kind of strange phenomenon in that area, although nothing happened later, but the guild still made a record of it.

On the other hand, the town may be located in the mountains all year round, and its inhabitants are extremely xenophobic. Not only was a defensive wooden wall built around the town, but even those merchants who bought medicinal herbs were not allowed to enter, and the Kandass government would definitely not allow this, just because they had been paying a lot of taxes, and the people in the town seemed to be very united, so in the end, Kandas's side was left to their own devices.

And the message written on the task scroll in Watson's hand was released by someone from this town who came to the Demon Hunting Guild yesterday, and the task content is very simple, that is, to destroy a magical beast that has been constantly attacking their village recently.

However, there are many restrictions on the mission requirements, that is, the level of the demon hunter who accepts the commission must be at the rank of sergeant, and he must arrive in the town before November 20th, not only that, but in the course of the mission, the demon hunter is not allowed to interfere in some things in this town, and the specific things are not mentioned above.

The level of the task is divided into A, which is also forcibly requested by the people who came from the town, and the task of clearing the third-order demonic beast is actually B-level at most, but these people don't know what it is for, regardless of the dissuasion of the intermediary, they stubbornly piled up this task to the A-level with gold coins.

According to the rules of the Demon Hunting Guild, the higher the level of the task, the more priority it will be, but the medium Demon Hunting Guild in the Kandas area to be honest has not many chances of receiving A-level tasks, after all, although there are Demon Hunters here, but there are not many of them, and it is really a bit difficult to find someone to take over the task for a while.

Just like now, the intermediary of the mission learned that the other party had something to pick up after making several phone calls to the demon hunters in a row, and because the mission has a time limit, there are only two days before today, so the idea of transferring it to the demon hunting guilds in other regions is also a little unrealistic, so he found Watson to ask for instructions.

"Give it to me, since this task is so urgent, then I'll do it, the guild will let my companion come over in the next two days, and leave all your affairs to her." ”

Closing the quest scroll, Watson picked up the Demon Hunter trench coat on the back of the chair and draped it over his body, took the dumplings curled up next to him in his arms, went downstairs and left the guild, and took a taxi back home, Viola happened to be cleaning the snow in front of the house, asking her to stop what she was doing first, and then talk about it first.

"You won't take me with you this time...... I don't want to deal with so many files in the guild. ”

Although complaining, Viola did not refuse Watson's request, she also knew that Watson did not have anyone to trust in Kandas, except for her, Ben came and had the previous president, but he had already come to say goodbye two days ago, saying that he was going to another region, and it was not very appropriate to trouble others at this time.

Besides, Watson's mission this time is just to solve a monster, and it will be a matter of two or three days when it is full, and he will come back in a short time, so there is no need to trouble other demon hunters to help the agent, and if other demon hunters are free, Watson will not have to take on this task.

"Pay more attention to the movements of the Short family these days, but don't make it too obvious, I have asked the intelligence department in the guild to pay more attention to this aspect, you only need to pay attention to those more special information.

Short was only a low-level professional in the airship, and it didn't take long for him to get to this point, no matter which method he relied on, there would always be follow-up actions, otherwise this kind of ability improvement would be meaningless. ”

Watson held a cotton cloth in his hand and slowly wiped away a few weapons such as Tide and Ambition, while explaining to Viola, who was next to him to help him load rune bullets, what he needed to pay attention to when he was away.

"By the way, there is another important point, that is, if there is a problem on the guild's side in the past two days, such as a provocation or attack by an external force...... Although this possibility is very small, it can't be said that there is no such possibility at all, and when the time comes, you can let the people in the guild choose to defend and recruit those demon hunters to come and help. ”

"Hmm...... I understand, you also have to pay attention to safety, isn't this mission A-level, what if it's a very strong magical beast?"

Viola put the magazines into the fanny pack on Watson's belt one by one, raised her hand to help Watson touch the folds on the demon hunting trench coat, and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, don't you know my strength, even if the opponent is really a very tricky monster, won't I be able to run if I can't beat it? As long as there are dumplings, there is no problem in running back, you can rest assured." ”

The dumpling next to him called out twice to assert his presence, and jumped on Watson's shoulder when Viola tried to reach over and rub it.

Gently kissing Viola on the forehead, Watson left the house fully armed, got into a taxi, and prepared to go to Hazy Town under Viola's watch.

**

After leaving the city of Kandas, the speed of the taxi inevitably slows down, because most of the roads outside the city have a lot of snow, so there is no way to slow down for the sake of safety.

The suburbs are not like the urban area itself, which has a special team to clean up every once in a while, although there are also cleaning teams, but most of them are just cleaning up once a day or two to send the inspectors above, after all, who is willing to go to the suburbs in the cold to clean up these roads that are not smooth.

The location of the hazy town also happens to be in the mountains, which is even more troublesome, in winter, the snow covers the mountains this kind of thing is not to say, such as the mountain road is the easiest to be covered by snow, this Watson found out when he came to the mountain, to this, the taxi driver stopped the car, saying that there will be trouble going further and turning, and the next road has to rely on Watson to hike up.

In desperation, he could only pay to get out of the car, the white expanse in front of him made Watson a little speechless, the snow in the sky at this time also seemed to have an increasing meaning, and it didn't seem to be a good idea to stay here again, the time was already around three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had seen the speed of darkness on this snowy day two days ago.

"Dumplings, it's up to you. ”

Throwing the dumplings that seemed to be hiding in his arms to avoid the wind and snow outside into the snow in front of him, the dumplings that suddenly lost their warm embrace reluctantly grew rapidly, and when they landed, they had turned into a tall blue-gray leopard with a shoulder height of two meters.

Watson jumped up, the dark energy barrier quickly opened, so that he could be less injured by the wind and snow, the snow on the mountain road that had reached the calf might be a big trouble for Watson, but for the dumpling, there was no problem for the dumpling, walking would not be hindered in any way, but the oncoming wind and snow from the mountain made it need to use the dark energy barrier to cover its face.

Perhaps there is a sense of preventing outsiders from intruding, but there seems to be no intention of repairing the mountain road that you go in after the town becomes rich, it can be said that it is quite primitive, and the width of the entire road can actually accommodate a taxi and a half, and the snow along the way has not been cleared.

No wonder the driver refused to go inside, if he was trapped here in such bad weather, it was not a problem that the car couldn't get out, and even whether people could get out might become a serious problem. (To be continued.) )
