In a short period of time, Kirito and Besco confirmed their initial partnership and got to know each other with the other two team members. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hello, I'm Shirley, a ranger, good at tracking and finding your way. The Wingman raised her glass to Kirito.

Then he pushed hard against Todak, the bearded dwarf who was snoring on the side.

When Todak woke up, he subconsciously clenched the heavy axe beside him, jumped up and looked left and right: "Someone is sneaking up!"

The eyes of the adventurers and some of the locals in the tavern were drawn to the dwarves' loud voices, and the dwarven warriors let out a good-natured laugh at the sight of some panicked dwarven warriors.

Shirley covered her eyes weakly and tilted her head to one side.

"Kirito, a swordsman, is good at assault swordsmanship. Kirito responded.

He and the dwarf Todak also got to know each other, and the dwarven warrior also understood that Kirito was the fourth person on their mission.

Then Kirito and Besco exchanged their actions before departure, and it was scheduled to leave the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow they would do some preparations and investigate more information.

“...... Tomorrow morning, you and Shirley will go to Ms. Herclair to collect the mission, and Todak and I will go to buy some supplies, and we will each have the extra time to investigate some information, and exchange it tomorrow evening, how about it?" Kirito thought for a moment and made an opinion.

Besco thought carefully for a while and shook his head: "It's not good, among the four, you and Todak have D-level mercenary certificates, while Shirley and I only have E-rank, if you go to take on the mission, Ms. Herckley should be more confident and may give some extra help." ”

Kirito pondered for a moment and nodded, "Well, that's fine." ”

After finalizing the task assignment and saying hello to Canon, they went back to rest without mentioning it.

The next day.

Kirito and Todak knocked on the big iron door of the Heclairy house.

The Heckley family was the wealthiest merchant family in Oaktown, and the gate and fence took up half of the street. A bluestone corridor on the green lawn connects from the gate to the front of a three-storey villa.

Hearing a knock at the door, a gray-haired butler hurried over, looked at the two visitors through the gap in the iron door, and asked, "Who are you, and what are your intentions?"

Todak is not good at communication, so on the way here, he decided to leave it to Kirito.

"We intend to take on Ms. Herckley's assignment. Kirito showed the butler his mercenary badge.

The gold coins and swords on the badge symbolize the essence of the mercenary. Half of the base color of the badge is dyed silver, which is the emblem of a D-rank mercenary.

Sometimes, for the convenience of movement, Kirito also went to get a mercenary identity.

The butler looked at them vigilantly: "What task?"

"A month ago. Kirito said, "Rescue mission." ”

"There must be at least four people or a C rating to receive the mission. The butler noticed that there were only two of them, and emphasized, "The Herclair family will not pay you a deposit until your strength is confirmed." ”

The meaning of the steward is that if you can complete the task independently, the reward will not be less. But if you can prove yourself, you can get some help in advance before the mission.

This is also the system that the mercenary guild has always used, and it is not against mercenaries to skip the challenge, but it is not encouraged, which also prevents some bad guys from rolling up a deposit or advance payment (for example, Besco came to buy a red apple and got 60 gold coins in advance, of which 50 is an advance payment) and ran away.

"We also have two companions to go to the grocery store and blacksmith shop to buy some adventure items. Kirito said.

"Well, I think the hostess will be happy to see you. The old butler opened the iron door halfway.

The old butler's gaze noticed Besco and Shirley, who were discussing on the corner not far away. He'd seen them with the red-bearded dwarf next to the boy yesterday, and they were supposed to be a team.

Meet Ms. Kellovan in the back garden of the courtyard. Kellovan was drinking morning tea.

If Besco was here, he would have found out that Lady Kellövan had seen him before, right when the gnome priest was there.

Ms. Kellovan and Kirito met with them, and after asking them about their intentions, she directly asked, "How sure are you?"

Kirito shrugged, "That's not for sure, ma'am. If it comes to saving people, IMHO, the chances of Mr. Tarragon and Miss Salwen surviving are very low. ”

It's not a question of whether they can save it or not, it's that Taragon and Sharwen can be killed right now.

Ms. Kellovan took a deep breath, she had been mentally prepared for what Kiritto said.

"But if it's a relic to be recovered. There is still a good success rate. Kirito added.

The first goal of Ms. Kellövan's mission was to recover the Golden Seal Ring, which represented the symbol of the family, and if it hadn't been destroyed, there was a good chance that it would have been found.

"I see. Lady Kelloven nodded, "You're not a big talker, you have a D-class mercenary to prove that you must be a capable person, what do you want to know when you come to me? If it's material, I can advance 100 gold coins and it won't be included in the final payment." ”

Ms. Kelloven has dealt with too many of those people who are begging for a living, and they are eager to say that they are omnipotent, and they are all monsters who can fight with the earth dragon and stealthily hide from the demons, but they are actually ineffective, and they can make a lot of excuses for you. But Kirito made it very clear what he could do and what he couldn't, and there was no pompousness in his words, only confidence.

So Lady Kellöven decided to trust the young swordsman for once.

A hundred gold coins is a bonus, and the tools and materials prepared by Besco will be reimbursed.

But that's not the purpose of Kirito's trip, to complete a mission, the most important thing is intelligence, Besco's mission and Kirito's own mission information overlap a lot.

"Ms. Kellövan, can you tell me about the configuration of the adventurer squad that disappeared a month ago. "That determines what search and rescue strategy I should use." ”

Ms. Kelloven hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was nothing to say, so she spoke: " There were four members of the team of adventurers who went to the underground castle to explore a month ago, my son Taragon was a level 5 warrior who had just awakened his fighting spirit, and my daughter Salwen was a level 4 fire mage, and I was not worried about their safety, because I was accompanied by the strongest ranger in Oak Town, Karacas, who was level 7, and there was also a Paladin of the Church accompanying him, Sir Brafdor, who was an outsider, and another magic sword called 'Cracked Thorn'. ”

"What is Sir Brafdor's rank?" Kirito asked.

"I don't know, but it's definitely silver. Ms. Kellövan replied.

"Two silver, two bronze...... Well. Kirito recorded this information, "Is there anything else I need our attention into?"

"I don't know very well. Miss Kellöven shook her head, "I'm just a businessman, not an adventurer. ”

"Well, thanks, your information is useful. Kirito said.

As he was leaving, the butler handed over a hundred gold coins to Kirito, who took them and said to Todak, "It seems that our side is going quite well, or we will join forces with Besco and them first." ”

Todak didn't have any objection to this, just nodded his head. (To be continued.) )
