Chapter 167: Kate
Although it was surrounded by a free market and a lot of people, for Dolrank's hearing, this kind of sound that was out of place was particularly clear. So this shout also caught Dorank's attention, and he followed the sound to look over.
The voice was made in an extremely conspicuous sword-shaped building, which was the Mercenary Association.
I saw a group of mercenary men with broad shoulders and round waists standing at the door of the sword-shaped building, and in front of them was a young man sitting on the ground.
The boy's body is on the thin side, and his skin is a little sickly white, which looks like he has been hiding from the sun for a long time. What worries Dorankk the most is that the boy's hair color is a gray-brown color that is very rare in the Golden Continent.
The boy sat down on the ground, and everyone was condescending, and there was a look of anger on everyone's faces.
"What's going on?" Ellie, who was holding the painting, was happily eating the candy she had just bought, and when she noticed this scene, she turned her head curiously and asked.
"I don't know, but it looks like this boy did something wrong. Dorranke shook his head, "Those people don't look like they're bullying others, they're more like they've been deceived. ”
Sure enough, after Dorranke finished speaking, someone from the mercenaries over there spoke.
"Boy, I advise you not to come here again, no one will be fooled by you again!" The mercenary's tone was vicious, and with his fierce face, it was full of threat.
"That's right, that's right!"
"Don't come again!"
"You little hairy liar, why don't you learn to deceive people!"
After the mercenary finished speaking, the people behind him also immediately spoke, just as Dorlanke guessed, this young man really sounded like he had deceived them, so he was attacked by a group.
"Something is wrong. Dorranke frowned suddenly.
"Well, what's wrong?" asked Ellie, confused, "isn't that boy a liar as you say?"
Dorranke didn't answer, just like Ellie said, whether it was his guess or what the mercenary said, it proved that the gray-haired boy might be a liar, but he always felt that there was a helpless despair in his expression
Could it be that this was the case after someone had discovered that he had cheated him?, but why, Dorank, had a vague feeling that the boy had fallen into a helpless situation.
But no matter how Doranke felt, he wasn't going to help the boy because of that. And as far as he is concerned, although this group of mercenaries is very disgusted with this young man, they have no killing intent, and I am afraid they just want to drive him away.
And it is true, under the denunciation of the mercenaries, the young man stood up without saying a word, trembled, bowed deeply to everyone, and then turned and left slowly.
What is strange is that after the boy bowed, the mercenaries were also slightly less hostile, and the voice of denunciation was also weakened.
Dorranke watched as the boy walked towards him with blank eyes, and he took a slight step back to make way for the boy.
And the boy seemed to notice this, and as soon as he stopped, he raised his head, and his eyes that were as dark as the loneliest abyss shook his heart!
"Thank you. The boy's voice was hoarse with exhaustion, and after speaking softly to Dorrank, he continued on the way Dorranke had made way.
"Bad luck!" the group of mercenaries also felt as if they had become the kind of people who bullied the weak, and cursed softly before turning back to the mercenary association.
"I think he's very pitiful. Ellie licked the candy and suddenly said, "Let's go and ask what's going on, shall we?"
Dorlank glanced at Ellie, unlike Alice, Ellie's feelings had never been hidden, the innocence that was all written on her face
"Let's go. Doranke said.
So Dorlank and Ellie, who changed their destinations, headed for the Mercenary Guild.
A mercenary guild is a place that can be called a public place, and everyone except mercenaries and those who come to hire mercenaries can enter. Moreover, the Mercenary Association also provides catering services, so mercenaries who want to find a job will eat and drink in the Mercenary Associations around the country and wait for the release of tasks that suit them.
And Alice has the status of a mercenary, and during the period when Alice was waiting for Dolank in Chaos City, she completed a lot of tasks to subsidize the economy, and also made her mercenary level from the beginning of F to E, of course, this level does not mean anything
However, what makes Ellie speechless is that Dorlank actually has the identity of a mercenary, which was done in Killing City, just because he wanted to help the Lion Mercenary Group on a mission, and now he is actually E-rank.
It's just that after seeing that he is an E-class, Dorlank is puzzled.
At that time, the mission issued by Uhtred seemed to be at the five-star level, and even if the mission of this level failed, it could still make the F-level mercenary upgrade to the E-level level.
It's just that if memory serves, everyone in the Lion Mercenary Group should have had their memories changed by the medicine made by the Rich Dream brought by Bryant at that time, and no one should register for the mission.
And according to the level of mercenaries of the Lion Mercenary Group, even if they have no mission record, they will not fail to register the mission for that compensation!
It seems that after the lion mercenary group separated from himself and others, something unexpected happened, and I wonder if Albina also had an accident.
Dorranke still remembers the fire beauty magician, who forcibly used magic beyond the limit for herself, and she doesn't know what she's doing now.
"Huh, that's weird, what's the mission here," Suddenly, Ellie, who was in front of the mission wall, spoke.
"What's wrong?" was going to ask someone about the boy, but hearing Ellie's scream, Dorranke turned and walked to the mission wall, stunned by what he saw.
The mission wall of the Mercenary Federation here is an alchemy item, which updates the missions of different star positions at any time, but what Doranke saw in front of him was a strange scene.
The one-star to three-star missions on the mission wall are all destined for one place - Sunset Town.
And the tasks are all similar, such as "There is a mysterious creature attacking humans, hoping that there will be mercenaries to find the mysterious creature", "Someone in Sunset Town is missing in the mountains, I hope that some mercenaries will enter the mountains to look for it", "There are villagers in Sunset Town who are sick and ask doctors or light magicians to come to help"
There's so much information like this that it's almost everywhere in the mission wall below three stars. And the person who posted the task was a person named "Kate", and the task was paid - after the fact!
The reward for the task is not clearly marked, but is chosen to be negotiated after the fact, and basically there is a special reason and the mercenary association agrees before such a task can be released.
"Sunset," Ellie said with her index finger against her lower lip and frowned, "I really want to remember that this is a small town nearby, how can there be so many missions?"
"Hey, you don't want to take on these Sunsettown-related tasks, do you? At this moment, a mercenary who was also looking at the quest wall noticed Dorranke and Ellie, and said, "Don't look at it, this quest wall has been fixed for some reason before, but these quests will be invalidated and removed later." ”
"Void?" Dolenc asked.
"Well, these missions are all a little ghost's fool's errand, and someone has found out. The mercenary explained in detail.
Dorranke probably understood the situation, and the person named "Kate" was the name of the teenager who had been kicked out by the crowd before. He is a resident of Sunset Town, and according to him, there are unknown terrorist creatures in the mountains near Sunset Town, and they have been attacking humans frequently in recent times, causing the disappearance of several residents of the town, including his sister.
Because of the proximity of the Anniversary Festival, according to the tradition of the Anniversary Festival, no fighting events are allowed during the three days of the Anniversary Festival. Therefore, the Mercenary Federation paid special attention to this matter, and allowed the mission wall to be fixed for the time being, and soon a powerful mercenary took over the task and went to Sunset Town to solve the incident.
It's just that when this group of powerful and experienced mercenaries was preparing for a fierce battle, they were dumbfounded when they arrived at their destination!
The group of residents who disappeared in Kate's mouth remained intact in the town one by one, including Kate's sister, who had seen the looting with her own eyes, and the mercenaries who had returned from his brother's home with a puzzled expression.
And after questioning everyone, I found out that they were not missing at all, and the so-called mysterious creatures were just ordinary magical beasts!
Just when everyone was wondering, Kate's sister told everyone that his brother had a strange illness, so he didn't go out for a long time, and as a result, he seemed to be a little mentally deranged, and he and the others just went up the mountain once, and as a result, he went to the city mercenary association to issue a mission.
But the mercenaries can only swallow the bitter fruit, otherwise what can they do to blame a teenager with intellectual problems?
However, since they came, the mercenaries also helped everyone to inspect the mountain, cleaned up the nearby monsters that were more active and left.
However, the matter did not end there, and when the mercenaries returned, the boy would follow him, and once again emphasized that the mysterious creature was not a monster.
While it is impossible to explain why the residents they said were taken from them all appeared in the town, others in the town said that some of them were missing.
Under Kate's repeated pleas, the Mercenary Federation formed an investigation team again, and this time, they also invited a veteran of the Federation, an extraordinary fighting powerhouse, to investigate.
However, the conclusion is still the same as last time, there are no mysterious creatures at all.
And this time, the cautious mercenary veteran asked most of the people in the town, and most of them said that Kate had a problem with her brain
Needless to say, this time the mercenary association made a definition and rejected Kate's request again. However, at Kate's begging, the Mercenary Federation promised to fix the mission wall for a day, and if there were mercenaries who volunteered to go to Sunset, they would not stop them.
Until now, it was a fixed deadline for one day, but no mercenary was willing to follow this boy who had a brain problem and kept coming to deceive everyone to go on a day trip to Sunset Town.
After hearing this, Dorranke fell silent, and a dragon's unique sense of smell told him that there must be something strange in this, and that the young man named Kate had too strange a look in his eyes. That's definitely not the kind of look that a person with intellectual problems should have.
"Maybe forget it, I just said before that I don't care about these idle things. Dorranke shook his head, and was about to take Ellie away when he saw the excitement in Ellie's eyes after knowing what had happened.
A bad feeling welled up in my heart.
Sure enough, Ellie suddenly smiled brightly at him and said, "Let's take the mission and go to Sunset Town!"
