Chapter 64
"Is it the revenge of those two bastards, Quill and Henry? I didn't expect it to come so quickly......"
"It's unlikely, after all, Shi Junjun, whom they only met today, is very difficult to hire a killer to retaliate in a hurry."
"A slime that can transform into a human form and have intelligence is really a rare species, and if the guild issues a capture commission, the reward should be quite considerable......
After returning to the Adventurer's Guild, everyone was surprised to learn what had happened.
The assassination of adventurers in the town of Reberion was the first of its kind since the guild was founded.
Needless to say, Norman Augusta needs to take a proper response, otherwise it will have a great negative impact on the guild's reputation.
As a result, two new commission notices were soon posted on the notice board in the guild hall, and the commissioned publisher was the adventurer's guild leader himself, with the content of finding out the origin and whereabouts of the slime who tried to plot against the E-class adventurer Shi Junjun today, and giving priority to capturing it and allowing it to be killed if conditions permit.
The reward is thirty gold coins, plus a favor from the leader of the Adventurer's Guild.
(Slimes are non-sapient xenomorphs that are not protected by the Humanoid Racial Equality Act that has been introduced in recent years in the Kingdom.)
Only squads with an average membership of D or above will be able to receive the commission, and multiple squads can take it at the same time, and the final reward will be paid to the captured or killed squad.
The mission level is C-level.
(Remarks on delegated tasks: Receive task commissions from various delegates, announce them on the announcement board of the Adventurer's Guild, let willing adventurers undertake and complete the task, and award bonuses after the success of the task.) The client may appear from ordinary people, specific organizations, dignitaries and even state-level figures, and some tasks will not disclose the name of the client due to the privacy of the client. Tasks with more rewards are often more dangerous, and some tasks can only be undertaken by forming large teams and limiting the level of participants. However, the Adventurer's Guild will not accept any commission that is contrary to the will of the Kingdom's decrees.)
After reading the contents of the notice, the adventurers who met the requirements did not hesitate to rush to the nearest sewer entrance.
Thirty gold coins is an average reward for a C-class mission, and what adventurers really value is the favor of the president himself, Norman Augusta.
Anyone familiar with the Reberion Adventurers' Guild Master knows the value of this favor.
Even Yanni pinched her nose and jumped down after being silent at the entrance of the sewer for a long time, but Shi Junjun, who was about to follow her footsteps, was stopped.
"Although this question may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, have you offended any big people lately?"
Norman Augusta, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild with a frown, said in a deep voice:
"If I'm not mistaken, the special slime killer who can perform disguise is the only one who is mixed with the pseudonym 'Gleam' of the underground forces of Reberion in South Risifus and even in the larger area, as far as I know, he is the highest-ranking assassin of the underground forces, and he has never missed, and the price of hiring him is astronomical."
"And in South Lysyphus can afford that number only no more than a lot...... Which of them have you offended? ”
"Excuse me, I don't understand what you're saying." The girl winked and replied, "And is it your unique etiquette to hold the girl's arm all the time?" ”
Norman Augusta, who had been holding the girl's arm, smiled bitterly and let go of his hand and explained:
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were assassinated because you offended those big guys recently......"
"Don't worry, even those big shots in South Rissyphus don't dare to do anything to the Reberion Adventurers' Guild, I'm almost certain that the disguised slime is here to kill you, but I need to figure out the cause and effect before I can better take the next step......"
"You brought my son home." The man solemnly clenched his right fist to his chest, "Norman Augusta will remember your kindness......"
Waving his hand to signal that the leader of the Adventurer's Guild didn't have to be polite, Junjun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the former about the conflict between himself and Viscount Robinette some time ago, and it was only a few minutes since they met, who knows if he is the kind of guy who has a set on the surface and a set behind the scenes......
"Then again, that slime ......"
"Don't worry, he shouldn't come to harass you again in a short time, this failed assassination seems to have injured him a lot, and the adventurers sent out are also likely to capture or kill him."
After the adventurer's guild leader finished speaking, he said a cold joke that was not funny at all:
"It is said that this slime has never missed an assassination, but you set a precedent......
The girl, who had already been threatened twice in just one hour, barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and after dealing with the question of the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, she returned to the Adventurer's Guild under the protection of Uncle Bearded Referee's C-class adventurer team.
Another commission on the bulletin board is to protect Shi Junjun's personal safety every day until the assassination is completed, and the reward is one gold coin per day. It just so happened that a difficult entrusted task was completed not long ago, and the bearded referee uncle who was injured in the team took the initiative to take over this unwanted commission when there were not enough people.
The notary of the team, who is a trainee magician, arranged a simple magic array that can warn non-human creatures on the periphery of the adventurer's guild building, and after a quarter of an hour, several rays of light appeared at all the entrances and exits of the adventurer's guild that were imperceptible to the naked eye.
As for the other adventurers in this team, after the trainee magician was arranged, they each took up their positions in the hidden corners of the adventurer's guild, and under normal circumstances, no one could see them, but at the moment when Shi Junjun was threatened, they could attack from three different angles at the same time.
After removing the two injured team members, three of the six members of the C-class adventurer team had disappeared from Shi Junjun's sight, leaving only the bearded uncle who was the referee still standing in front of Shi Junjun with a shy face, his expression twisted and wanted to say goodbye.
Looking at the shy appearance of the uncle in front of him who had a whole head and cheeks, Shi Junjun, who couldn't find what to face for a while, took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
