Certificate, which is a foreign word to people who lived on the main road hundreds of years ago.

Hunters and mercenaries have always been regarded as a rabble, whether it is during the era of the Elven Empire or the reign of the Orc Empire, the Elven Mage Regiment and the Orc Samurai Hall can easily defeat enemies several times their size, especially in the early days when the hunters and mercenaries did not form a scale, and it was more obvious that they fought separately. Except for those who voluntarily pursue an unfettered life, most people are forced to seek a way out of death in order to make a living. From the statistics of the early rudimentary mercenary guilds, it can be seen that the mortality rate is much higher than that of later generations, and this is not to mention the poor people who were not recorded due to the ability of the mercenary guild at that time.

Scattered, low-level, weak, and complex, this is the impression that mercenaries and hunters gave people in the first place.

With the rise of the Human Empire, the era of the Great Elves has passed, and the scarce sacrifices are no longer enough to support the authority of the entire Orc Empire. Magic began to spread, and mercenaries gradually took the path of normality.

In the eyes of the elves, lowly orcs and ordinary people are not qualified to touch the realm of magic. The stubborn orc sacrifices, on the other hand, only believed that only those who truly believed in the orc gods were allowed to learn mystical sorcery.

However, after the human race achieved the dominance of the continent, due to power, interests and other reasons, magic began to spread to all corners intentionally or unintentionally. After the invasion of the Burning Legion and the First War of the Dead, the union of the various races made magic truly and abundantly used in everyday life.

So, in the early days of simple S, A, B, C, D, E, and F grading, the guild began to work on making certificates with magic. The level of mercenaries is relatively simple and fair, that is, they are leveled according to the level and completion rate of the tasks they do. Both are indispensable to prevent high-level mercenaries from deliberately completing low-level tasks to raise their ranks, and with the improvement of the guild's rules and the formalization of the process, a large number of people have begun to join the guild's daily work. High-level mercenaries have become a symbol of strength and credibility, and in turn, they have also guaranteed the authority of the mercenary guild, so that the status of the guild has gradually been recognized by major forces. Mercenaries are no longer an identity of the so-called weak to seek a way to survive, and high-level mercenaries are the dreams of countless mercenaries and the objects of major forces.

At the same time, hunters are no longer satisfied with simply not killing their prey, transporting items and the like. They began to stare at the bounties that radiated the unique light of money, and assassination, treasure hunting, and slaughtering monsters were often their first choice. People are more afraid of these hunters who seek the taste of money than mercenaries.

When formulating the rules for the rank and promotion of mercenary groups, people encountered unprecedented difficulties. According to the rules of mercenaries, it is easy to have a mercenary group with only a few high-level mercenaries or a few high-level mercenaries with a group of low-level mercenaries The overall combat power is unevenly distributed.

Fortunately, the basic information of each mercenary group is recorded in detail in order to ensure the completion rate of the mission and the safety of the employer, and the mortality rate of the mercenaries has begun to decrease.

- Notes of a mercenary king after retiring from the army

"It's a little cold. Priest said silently in his heart. Autumn has passed halfway, the joy of harvest has gradually begun to fade away with the autumn wind, and the cold wind of winter has quietly begun to enter people's lives.

"Let's go pick up some quests and put bounties. Davion suggested excitedly. After coming out of Huadoz, Dawei's freedom began to fluctuate. Whether in Rock Ridge City or in the convoy along the way, after all, someone has arranged the direction of the future. Nowadays, it is rare to "get out of trouble," and I am very excited. And those legends and deeds that have been circulating for a long time obviously have a great influence on Davian.

"Oh~~ Do you have a certificate?" Lena squinted at Davion, full of provocation.

"Hey, what's that?" Davion was stunned, the bard's lyrics never mentioned it.

"I don't know. Lena turned and pulled out something like a diary. "See, only with this are you qualified to take on the tasks of those mercenary guilds. ”

Davion reached for it, but Lena turned around and dodged it, with an expression on her face that she just wouldn't show you. Priest shook his head when he saw this, and silently pulled out his mercenary certificate and handed it to Davion.

Davion looked at Priest in surprise. "How can you have such a thing, it's part of penance?" he reached out and took it.

Priest reluctantly said, "The Lord says that man obtains things by the labor of his hands. I don't have any financial resources, and sometimes I have to help others buy food and medicine, and I don't know how to do it. "Priest, with her blonde hair lined with autumn's characteristic golden color, looks quite reverent.

After Davian got his hands on it, his first reaction was that the paper was far more delicate than he imagined, and after opening it, he could see that the paper had a slight reflection in the sunlight, presumably with some special materials. The whole certificate is not small, about two palms larger, and the appearance is wrapped in delicate magical white silk, which does not feel heavy in the hand. For the sake of carrying, the certificate is simply solidified with a few spells, and even after folding, there will be no imprints.

After a careful look at it, Davion roughly understood the purpose of the mercenary certificate. "What's the use of this thing, just to keep track of the tasks completed?"

"Of course not. Lena interjected. "It's proof of your identity, in case someone else is impersonating you. Not only when handing over tasks, but also when taking over tasks, low voice levels, etc., especially if you help escort any valuables or post station rental sycophants, etc., who will believe you without this. ”

"After seeing it, people can't come back, isn't it different?" As soon as the words came out, Davian himself regretted it. Lena gave him a blank look with an idiotic look and didn't answer. In an age where credibility is life, a strong sense of honor is enough to make anyone who tries to do so hostile to all.

"Okay, okay, when we go to the next city, I can't do one. Davion was a little suspicious of changing the subject, and walked quickly to the front.

However, at the office where the mercenary certificate was purchased, Davion was embarrassed to find that he had little gold left. It has been out for more than half a year, and the gold coins have not been in and out, and the original gold coins of a little more than 2,000 are now less than 500 left. This is still in the hands of Davian, who has always been very frugal, and it must be said that the war caused prices to skyrocket, even if some merchants were unwilling to make a profit, Grandet's blood did not flow into their veins, and the state and the alliance tried their best to make up for it, but the iron law of scarcity still played its role firmly. The original certificate of 2 gold coins has also risen to 20 gold coins at this time. So don't look at a lot of hundreds of gold coins, but the speed at which money is spent will always be much faster than people think.

After shaking his head and sighing and paying the money, Davion looked at the big "F" printed on his appearance very unhappily. This is imprinted by a special magic, and it is not possible to change any of the information on it by ordinary means. To some extent, it can be regarded as maintaining the authority of the Mercenary Guild. Davion thought for a moment, his thick eyebrows furrowed together, it seemed that Priest guy was- "E"?

So Davion was even more unhappy, and in order to balance the trauma in his heart, he took the initiative to find Lena. Under the gaze of the two men, Lina slowly took out the mercenary diary like a proud phoenix.

"How could it be. Davion glared like a ghost. Even Priest had an incredulous expression. "Damn, the Lord said that honesty is a noble virtue, you here. It was rare for Priest's stern face to appear so embarrassed and aggrieved, and the "D" in front of him really caused great psychological trauma to the two little knights, just as it did to some poor-breasted girls. Especially after knowing that Lena's "D" is about to become "C", the loss in my heart can be imagined.

"How can you be so powerful. Davian couldn't control the curiosity in his heart, and Priest also gave him an inquiring look, but no matter how he asked, Lena steered the topic away in a few words, and finally had to give up.

After flipping through the tavern office's magical catalog, Davion found that there were very few tasks that suited him. The low-level tasks even take care of the elderly, take care of pets, and so on, which is really disappointing for Davian. In desperation, only Lena came out. The two boys actually let a girl take the task, which made Davian and Priest look at each other and smile wryly.

The two of them sat in the tavern, looking up, many mercenaries were lazily leaning back in their chairs, greeting each other loudly, and the busy waiters were always refilling the glasses for these mercenaries who had not yet had a suitable task. From time to time, mercenaries and hunters with booty pushed open the door and walked in, fresh prey still dripping blood. It took a while for Lena to get a mission back.

"Twenty Darzan Vipers and Snake Gall Galls for Medicine, what is this?" Davian looked at the task in confusion. Although I don't know about this snake, I still have no problem consciously taking twenty snake galls, but this task is D-level.

Priest shook his head and looked up at Lena, apparently he didn't know anything about the snake either.

"This snake is highly venomous, as you can all guess, and secondly, it is very difficult to find, this snake is very strange, a bit like a water snake, and likes to live in places around shallow swamps, and those places just happen to deal with orcs. Lena rubbed her furrowed brow with her bare hands, clearly feeling a little troubled by this.

"In this way, the Darzan viper should be a social creature, and it won't be too big. Priest added.

"Oh, you've seen it?" Davion asked curiously.

"No, just speculation. The confusion in Priest's eyes did not dissipate.

"And one last point. Lena stroked her red hair and drew the attention of the two of them. "The mission mentions medication, and as far as I can tell, it requires snake gall bladder. ”

No wonder it was mentioned as a D class, Priest began, "Size, toxicity, or whatever." "Size, if you put it into medicine, the pharmacist must have a Darzan viper that has lived long enough to enter the medicine, so that the snake gall can stimulate the medicinal properties. ”

Davian's impression of snakes is still stuck in the baby snakes that his father took him to the woods to train when he was a child. Although there are some poisonous snakes, in the company of my father, I was never so afraid when I was a child. Faced with a venomous snake that he had never heard of, Davian sensibly chose to remain silent.

After Priest and Lena had discussed, they each went to procure the necessary items, this snake was the most common for the residents of the surrounding area, and it should not be difficult to buy basic antidotes and the like. Davion went to book a room and packed his luggage.
