Chapter 0165: Suffering is a blessing
Shocked, the adventurers in Maple Town inquired carefully about the content of the mission that could disband a Black Iron team.
As a result, when they learned that the mission was to help the merchants of Maple Town bring back a batch of goods from Muchun Town to the west, everyone could not describe it as shocked.
Rather, it was described as stunned.
Muchun Town is far from Maple Town, if you take a horse-drawn carriage, you can basically walk back and forth in one day, planing out the situation that it is late and resting for one night in Muchun Town, generally speaking, it can be completed in two days.
And the roads are all avenues, and there are not even thieves and rogues.
Be careful, only the occasional critter from the fields and roadside grass startles the wagon.
This kind of task, except for taking some time, is not difficult at all, and it is basically a task like a novice welfare.
At most, there are a lot of goods, and there are three carriages, and there are more people to take care of.
But as a result, Mark and the others not only failed in their mission, but also caused the team to disband!
This makes everyone look stupid!
Even, the employer even ran to the adventurer's union to demand compensation!
Because Mark and others lost the goods, and they were unwilling to compensate the merchants for their losses, they directly disbanded the team, so that the merchants could not find anyone to compensate, so they had to make trouble with the adventurers' union.
After Aldolph learned the truth, he almost died of anger, and deprived Mark's group of little brothers of their identity as adventurers on the spot, and said that they would never be hired, and registered in the records of the adventurers' union.
As for Mark, for the sake of Father Molière's face, Mark's Bronze-level adventurer was downgraded to the Black Iron rank.
When will you complete the ten Black Iron Missions alone, and then talk about promotion.
As for the employer's compensation, Aldolph decided to pay it in advance from the Adventurers' Union, and then ask Mark for it.
But after Mark learned that his adventurer level had been downgraded, he was embarrassed and kept hiding in the church.
Aldolf also didn't have a chance to come to the door to ask for a debt, it was no different from hitting Molière in the face.
So, Aldolph set his sights on the bastards of Nock and Leo.
Yes, bastard.
Here's what Aldolph thinks of the two.
Since completing ten silver-level tasks, these two guys have not taken the initiative to take on the task, and even if they go out occasionally, they are only taking on a few handy tasks. It's all bronze-level or even black-iron level tasks, it's just nonsense.
However, the union did not stipulate that high-level adventurers could not take on low-level tasks, so even if he was not happy, he could not prevent Nock and the two from taking on low-level tasks.
That's right, it's playing.
Anyway, Aldolph didn't think that those monsters with the highest strength and only bronze level could bring danger to these two bastards.
Holding his dissatisfaction with the two, Aldolph found the two people who were drinking at the wine table in the rest area.
"Where's the drinking?" Aldolph sat down unceremoniously at the empty table between the two of them.
"Yo, isn't this the elder of the day!" Nock teased.
Aldolph blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, my position is elder. ”
Nock joked, "Yes, yes, the elder of the headquarters, the president of the branch!" Now it's up to you. ”
Aldolph stopped talking, and he couldn't answer it.
Branch president, the headquarters will definitely not be set up, lest someone become the emperor of the soil and form a gang to make a special situation like the previous professional office.
The Adventurers' Guild now has a rotation system, with each elder rotating to other locations every three years based on merit. Those with good performance go to big cities, and those with poor performance go to small places.
Anyway, whoever has the ability will be blessed.
Therefore, even if Aldolph was dissatisfied with the performance of the two Nocks, for the sake of Aldolph's future performance, he would not dare to tear his face with this guy.
Seeing that Aldolph didn't answer, Nock suddenly lost his interest in joking.
He directly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked directly at Aldolph, and asked, "Say, what are you looking for us?" Your old man is not a Lord who does not see Satan and does not pray, and does not meet ghosts and does not recite scriptures. ”
Aldolph was distraught, so he simply didn't hide it, and said frankly: "I'm here to settle accounts with you." ”
"What's the account? I don't owe you any money. We had a checkout every time we finished drinking. Nock was a little confused, unable to understand why Aldolph was saying this.
Aldolph's head was beating wildly, and he said angrily: "Don't pretend to be stupid, it's the compensation for the mission that Mark failed, he lost the goods of his employer, and as a result, he didn't compensate the family, and the adventure team was disbanded." It was an indemnity paid by the union in advance, a total of fifty gold coins. Hurry up and give me the money. ”
Nock listened to Aldolph and was almost amused.
"Am I right, old man? Mark failed to do the task, and you want me to pay you money? Why don't you let me help lose money for all the people who failed in their missions. ”
"I'm not kidding, hurry." Aldolf couldn't hold back his cheeks and hurriedly urged.
Nock suddenly restrained his smile, sat upright, and said solemnly, "Elder Aldolph, I'm not joking with you. If you want to find Mark to lose money, then go to him, don't come to me. He is him, I am me! We don't have to do anything, at most we know each other. You can't force me to help him lose money just because we know him. Got it. ”
Nock's words angered Aldolph.
He slapped the table and yelled, "He's your man!" ”
"Stop!" Nock hurriedly interrupted, and then explained loudly: "Although I was asked by Father Molière to take care of his unsuccessful disciple, so when he did the first mission, he temporarily joined my team, and then he was lucky enough to pick up a bargain and complete the silver task after we killed the mission target, but it doesn't mean that he is my person!" ”
Nock said this, paused, then stood up and shouted to the people around him who were listening to their arguments, "Everyone should know that after completing the first mission, Mark will find a team to do on his own. He has joined so many teams, if he has joined even if it is my person, then are the other teams responsible for Mark! Because Mark has been on other teams for so much longer than I have been with me! ”
"So, Elder Aldolph, you ask for compensation, either for Mark himself, or for his teacher or his former teammates, not for our group of unjust people who have only been 'lucky' by him! Guys say yes or no! ”
"Yes!" The people around him were not afraid of big things when they saw the excitement, and responded loudly to Nock.
"You!" Aldolph was so angry that his face turned red, and he grabbed Nock's chest, dragged him in front of him, and whispered, "Nok, don't go too far. Others don't know, but I know very well that Mark's group of little brothers have something to do with you! You paid them to brag about Mark. In other words, you deliberately made the mark! ”
"Oh, Elder Aldolph's imagination is rich! In that case, you should show the evidence! I'm sure I'll accept the punishment convincingly. ”
"Nock, don't be too deceitful, believe it or not, if I spread the information I know, when the time comes, what Mark and his teacher think of you will definitely sweep you two away!"
"Go quickly, don't bother me when you see me later." Nock didn't care at all.
That's right, the group of little brothers who followed Mark were played by him.
All the people looking for are the thugs from Maple Town.
Even, it was he who gave the order to let the group of thugs deliberately praise Mark, blow him up, and then deliberately create contradictions in the team where Mark was staying, and provoke discord between Mark and the team.
Also, a series of mission failures behind Mark were deliberately failed by Nock signaling the thugs.
In order to prevent accidents, Nock and Leo also deliberately took on low-level tasks to follow Mark's team and observe the situation so that there would be no uncontrollable scenes.
It wasn't until later that Mark was touted by his younger brothers to the point that he couldn't figure it out, and he really thought he was a top genius.
Obediently paid for the little brother to set up the adventure team of "Holy Pastor", that is because, the little gangsters said, no one is worthy of leading Mark, is Mark an ordinary priest? No! He is a rare genius in the Holy Church for thousands of years, that is, there is no holy rank among priests, otherwise, Mark would definitely be a holy pastor.
Thus, the "Holy Pastor" adventure team was born.
But Mark was stunned by the sycophants, and he didn't realize that the captain of the adventure team was his number one junior brother, and he was the vice captain himself.
Until I took over the delivery task, it was fine at first.
A group of people honestly rented a carriage and went straight to Muchun Town, playing and laughing on the way, so unhappy.
As a result, when he arrived in Muchun Town in the evening, the number one junior insisted on returning by night despite the dissuasion of the merchants of Muchun Town, and persuaded Mark that this was called a trip with the stars and the moon, so that the adventurers' union could see how amazing the speed of their "Holy Pastor" to complete the task.
As a result, Mark was fooled, and stupidly followed the little brother to walk at night, but he didn't expect to walk halfway, and when he arrived in the wilderness, the little brothers said that they were sleepy and wanted to sleep.
As a last resort, the group camped around the carriage.
But after Mark drank the water handed by his younger brother, he fell asleep until dawn.
When I woke up the next day, I found that all three carriages were gone!
Not to mention the goods.
Mark was so frightened that his face turned white, but fortunately, the number one brother stood up to comfort him, saying that there was a rut on the ground, and there must have been a thief who stole it while they were sleeping, and as long as he followed the rut to catch up, he would definitely be able to recover the goods.
As a result, after chasing for a day and a night, the thief didn't see it, but the team made an awkward scene.
A group of younger brothers shirked their responsibilities and pushed and shoved.
As a result, Mark's temper came up and he directly scolded the younger brothers.
But who would have thought that the little brother who had always only known to follow Mark's intentions suddenly came up to Mark like gunpowder and beat Mark with a short temper.
After knocking Mark unconscious, everyone is missing.
When Mark returns to Maple Town, he finds that his adventure party has been written off by the captain!
The captain is not himself, but his number one little brother!
Then, he discovers that his mission has failed again and he has been demoted to a Black Iron Adventurer.
He is also burdened with huge compensation!
Fifty gold coins don't seem like much, but for the average resident of Maple Town, that's the money they earn for half a lifetime.
Although Mark was Molière's only disciple, he was only paid one gold coin per month.
During the period of being an adventurer, he earned a total of more than 300 gold coins by completing tasks, but there was a group of pig friends and dog friends by his side.
All kinds of eating, drinking, entertainment and rewards, as well as the younger brother looking for him from time to time for relief, Mark found out that he had already been emptied of his family by the younger brother.
Not only did the money he earned as an adventurer run out, but even the salary he had saved before was spent.
He couldn't afford to pay his employer fifty gold coins, and the three carriages that were lost added up to about two hundred gold coins!
How can he take it.
It was only then that Mark knew that he had been tricked by the group of little brothers.
He was self-conscious, hiding in the church and not going out, not only because he didn't want to be made fun of, but also to avoid debts.
Even when it was to eat, he avoided Nock and Leo, which made Molière confused.
Therefore, Nock was not worried that Mark would find out about this at all.
Even if Mark knew what to do, Nock wasn't without a backhand.
Even if Molière knew that Nock was calculating Mark, not only would he not be unhappy, but he would have to clap his hands and praise Nock for calculating well!
Therefore, in the face of Aldolph's threat, Nock did not care at all.
After the gang had been threatened by Nock, they had already slipped away and left Maple Town with the reward they had given him and the money they had swindled from Mark's pit.
As for where to go, Nock is not clear.
After all, the remuneration of at least fifty gold coins per person, even if they go to the big city, is enough to make them chic for half a year.
Without evidence, who cares what Aldolph says.
After half a year, even if there is evidence, who will pay attention to this matter?
As for Molière, after Nock noticed that the other party wanted to cooperate with him, he didn't worry that he would turn his face against him for an unsuccessful disciple!
Nock has that kind of confidence.
It's a big deal, just change the collaborator.
This month, Nock and Leo are not in vain.
The two of them had already figured out the general situation on the Holy Court's side.
The Holy Church was divided into several factions, and he inquired clearly about which factions were thriving and which ones were declining and suppressed.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Leo were waiting for their new equipment to be built, and by the way, they would have gone on a mission to get some travel expenses, and they would have run away to change their collaborators by now.
Invincible, Nock and Leo have nothing to fear!
