Nock didn't know,

arranged on a whim,

made Freya and the others suffer a big loss.

Although he guessed that Freya should not be willing to let him go like this.

With the rescue manpower, I must be pushing myself.

But no one else should agree with her doing this,

After all, they should be more desperate to go home.

But who would have thought, not only Freya hated him, but also several others.

Thus, a farce happened and ended without his knowledge.

He didn't know that his joking arrangement was really used.

I don't know the "letter" he left behind,

Over the next decade, it became a tool for the Fish-People to learn human language and writing.

Later, it became a sacred relic of the Fish-Man Clan!

He leaned on the raft of the wooden house, and with the help of the fish-men,

There was a thrilling passage through the swampy forest watershed.

Even, Nok also easily purified the floating corpses he encountered on the road with the purification magic technique.

to prevent the decaying corpses from forming a plague,

Threats to downstream residents.

However, Nock thinks,

In this life, he did not dare to drink the water of the Seine,

After all, there are at least nearly two hundred passengers on the regular ship, plus the chamber of commerce guards and crew.

Except for a dozen of them, almost all of them died in the Seine.

There may be people alive on the other side of the river, but certainly not many.

Although many people were rescued at that time, they did not listen to the persuasion and were swept away by the flood.

There should be no less.

Nock wasn't in the habit of drinking corpse water.

Though the water is living water,

But the floating corpses of the swamp forest are fixed in the swampy forest.

If you want to wait for these corpses to be decomposed, it is estimated that you will have to wait for ten or twenty years.

Naturally, Nock didn't dare to take risks.

After all, it's disgusting to think about.

Fortunately, on their rafts, there was boiling water from the upstream.

Nock has prepared three barrels!

They are all wooden barrels taken out of large tree trunks.

Within two days, they had left the swampy forest basin.

On the edge of a deserted plain,

Nock said goodbye to the twenty fishmen, telling them to be careful when they returned.

And he sent them away.

Without the help of the fish-man to pull the boat,

Nock and Leo take on the responsibility of running the ship.

Sister Sophia is in charge of preparing food and guarding the two.

That's it, straight downstream,

On the third day, the four discovered a small town ahead.

The town of Tewa is the name of the town.

After docking at the dock, the raft of Nock and the others attracted everyone's attention.

After the four of them went ashore, they sold the special raft directly to a merchant at the docks.

Because, Nock decided to go overland.

If they keep taking the waterway, they are likely to be caught up by the rescue team,

It's embarrassing then.

It's not the same if you go by road.

Even if it is slower, with the power of four people, they will not starve to death.

But before they can do that, they need to fix it up in the town.

When traveling, you also need to prepare supplies.

To prepare supplies, what is needed is money.

While Nock they sold a raft,

But this money is not enough to support them to continue traveling.

They plan to find some way to make money or find a good Samaritan to fund it.

Well, the kind that likes to wander the streets,

A "well-wisher" who constantly greets other people's families and cares about other people's income issues.

Of course, you can't bring girls with you for this kind of thing.

The four of them found a ready-to-wear shop along the street and used the money from the sale of rafts to change two sets of burlap clothes for each of them.

With the rest of the money, the four of them found the cheapest hotel in the town to stay.

Take a shower and change out of the clothes that you have been wearing for more than ten days.

Because there are no conditions, before Fisherman's Bay, the clothes have not been changed.

When you arrive at Fisherman's Bay, you can take off your clothes and wash them when you go down to the river at night to bathe.

Wear it back to the house and hang it up to dry.

But this method is nothing more than a stopgap measure,

Now that there is a change of clothes, the four of them are naturally beautiful to take a hot bath,

I changed my clothes and ate a hot meal that a normal person eats.

But this pass is consumed,

Nock didn't have much money left to sell the raft.

After all, rafts are not precious, but they are better than strange ideas.

That buyer is probably also curious.

It's just that Nock didn't expect that in the future, this raft would be loaded on wheels.

It has become a "RV" landscape in the town.

Visitors to the town only need to pay a fee,

You can take a "motorhome" to explore the town, and enjoy drinks and massages on the "motorhome".

You can also buy roadside food to enjoy in your RV.

It can be said that it makes the best use of everything and makes a lot of money for buyers.

That's all for later.

After eating, the four of them went their separate ways and went out to earn money.

Nock and Leo are all the way, and the Sophia sisters are all the way.

Nock and Leo walk down the street, discussing ways to make money.

"Otherwise, I'll go to the blacksmith shop and have a look, I can earn a lot of money by selling my strength."

Leo suggested.

Nock refused without even thinking about it.

"If we're staying here for a long time, that's a good idea.

But we need to make quick money. I estimate that in a day or two, Freya and the others will arrive in the town to renovate.

Even if there is food and other supplies on the rescue boat, a change of clothes will certainly not be taken into account.

Victor and a few men can still be grieved and wear a change of clothes for rescuers.

But Freya's women definitely can't. Not to mention that there is a princess inside.

They will certainly disembark in the first town to buy a change of clothes.

Even if the clothes here are of a lower grade, they are more decent than the tattered clothes on their bodies.

If we stay in town too long and don't meet them,

Then we may not be able to get out of town.

But once we leave, even if they want to trouble us,

Can we still abandon the ship and chase after our ass to settle accounts? ”

After listening to Nock's analysis, Leo nodded, indicating that he understood.

It's not that he doesn't know this truth, but he's been pretending to be wooden by Nock's side for a long time.

Too lazy to use your brain.

"It seems that the Adventurers' Guild doesn't have to go, and those who can earn money can't complete the task on the same day.

You can't make any money by completing tasks that day. ”

Leo thought about it and ruled out the Adventurers' Guild.

Nock didn't think so, but his eyes lit up and he smiled:

"Not necessarily."

"Huh? What do you think? ”

"Don't forget, we have a mission ahead of us. Although the task object is still on the road,

But we've done that. Don't forget, there is a risk regulation for the union's escort missions.

After encountering a danger beyond the level of task assessment, the employer can still be safe,

Even if you don't reach your destination in the end, you can complete the mission.

Moreover, if the risk beyond the assessment is an accident or if the employer has deliberately concealed it,

The union will recover compensation from the employer for the individual or team that receives the task.

The attack of the six-headed snake, the silence of the regular boats, the threat of the fish-people.

Each of these is an unexpected risk that exceeds the assessment level. We're going to hand in the task now, although we can't do it right away,

But as long as the Adventurers' Guild confirms that Freya, who is with us, has returned safely,

Then we will be counted as having completed the task in accordance with the risk regulations afterwards. Make amends. ”

Leo listened to Nock's words, frowned, and said:

"That's not going to work, we're here to hand in the mission, so how can the union go to the royal city to confirm Freya's safety?

Even if she would settle down in town to buy clothes, she wouldn't be able to go to the Adventurers' Guild to help us prove it.

Besides, she probably wants to complain us to death.

And even if the town's adventurers' union confirms that we've completed the mission,

The other clubs don't keep a record, and we don't get paid unless we stay in town. ”

Leo said worriedly.

Nock smiled mysteriously and said:

"Leo, you probably forgot what Aldolph of Maple Town said,

Will the trade unions soon carry out a data reform? ”

"Well, there's such a thing, has it already started to be implemented?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not, as long as we register and the trade union implements unified data management,

I will definitely register for us. When the time comes, this reward will not be able to run away.

Now, what we have to do is to bite Freya to death before she complains about us.

Facts that add danger to us, some half-truths and half-truths in linguistic embellishments, plus the facts to come,

The union people must feel that is the truth.

As for the post-mortem justification? Hehe, does it still matter?

preconceived among the adventurers and the aristocracy, who is the weak,

Isn't that clear enough? ”

Nock told the lie so fresh and refined that Leo was amazed.

"Okay, do as you say."

So, the two who knew their destination,

Killed directly at the town's adventurer union.

Two hours later, the two walked out of the Adventurers' Guild with a relaxed face.

At the same time, I didn't forget to look at a new adventurer identity card in my hand.

The silver card looks unremarkable, but if you inject energy into the card,

You can see the information that appears on the card.

Name: Leo Gareth

Gender: Male

Class: Guardian Knight

Rank: Silver Adventurer

Affiliation: [Light and Darkness] Adventure Group

Adventure Party Level: Silver

Mission completion rate: 100% completion rate.

Pending Mission: The escort assignment of Ms. Florya Tetamora, the royal capital, has been submitted,

However, due to the unexpected risk of the assignment being assessed by the regulations,

It is necessary for the adventurer's union to further investigate and collect evidence and confirm it

After the mission information provided by the [Light and Darkness] party is true,

The task is then settled. During the verification mission, it will not be affected

The party takes on other missions. The duration of the verification task is one week,

Please be patient.

These are the contents of Leo's new adventure card.

But that's not all.

What really shocked him was the light curtain that kept rolling the words in the adventurer's guild just now.

All tasks have been eliminated from the use of wooden boards and paper commissions.

Switch to a new type of light curtain display.

In the hall there is a large screen of two meters by three meters,

It keeps tumbling to show the name of today's task.

And the workers in the union have a small screen.

All they need to do is use their badges to swipe on a magic tool.

to open the information base of the local trade union,

By virtue of their level of authority,

Access to information and information on the tasks of local trade unions.

Yes, not only adventurers are divided into adventure levels,

Even the staff was hierarchical.

Corresponding to adventurers, it is divided into four levels: black iron, bronze, silver, and gold.

What level of staff, what level of adventurer business to receive.

No more commotion.

And adventurers with low strength will no longer be cut in line by adventurers with strong strength.

Everyone is a level of adventurers lining up to hand in the task,

Do you still want to cut the line?

Of course, there are actually more than four levels of staff.

It is said that the handover of business above the gold level is received by the union elder, who is now the branch president.

But now, the adventurer union, which has only been reorganized for less than three years, has fewer even gold-level adventurers.

Not to mention gold and above.

It is said that the title of the adventurer above the gold level has not yet been decided.

The title of Saint-level adventurer has been denied.

After all, the holy level is the title of the peak powerhouse of the continent,

Unfit to be an adventurer's title.

Because the adventurer level is in the case of task accumulation and finding someone to help,

It's not that you can't brush it out.

If you join a strong team, you can get the job done.

Bronze-level adventurers are not necessarily unable to become silver-level or gold-level adventurers.

In case a group of adventurers above the gold rank appears in the future, and then a member of low strength appears,

But because of the strength of his teammates, he was also promoted to the gold level.

But he was called a "saint-level adventurer", and then this "saint-level" was killed by a bronze when the mission was alone.

Wouldn't all adventurers be a joke!

Therefore, the establishment of the title of adventurer above the gold level, the top management of the adventurer's union is arguing.

There has been no result.

However, the reform of the Adventurers' Union this time will definitely startle all forces on the mainland.

After all, it's just a swipe of the card on the magic guide of the union terminal,

You will be able to read the registered mission data, the adventurer's identity data, and the information of the received mission.

You can even upload the treatment library of each club to the headquarters database for backup.

This technology is simply one era ahead of the world!

I really don't know which genius invented this cross-generational technology.

Leo played with the adventurer's ID card in his hand and put it away.

After all, the identity card of a silver-level adventurer is still very dazzling in this kind of town.

It is worth mentioning that re-applying for this kind of identity card, below the silver level, is a large fee.

Above the Silver level, it's free.

According to the branch president of Tewa Town, this is because the guild wants Silver-level adventurers to be promoted to Gold as soon as possible.

In this way, it will not only strengthen the momentum of the adventurer's union.

It can also inspire the enthusiasm of low-level adventurers to do tasks.

Nock was dismissive of this.

It's just that it's cheap and doesn't take advantage of it.

What's more, by virtue of the identity of a silver-level adventurer,

Nock managed to fool the branch leader of Tiva.

After he put their team in distress and was then abandoned by their employer,

After telling the pitiful experience of having to save himself,

The branch president was filled with righteous indignation.

In addition, the branch leader used the authority to retrieve the information of Nock and Leo's past missions.

There have been twists and turns before it was determined that this escort mission,

Killed all two adventurer teams,

After the news that the other team only has two captains and vice captains,

It's also determined that the task taken by the Nock team is greasy,

The employer apparently concealed the mission hazard level.

He had also heard about the disappearance of the regular boats,

Even the families of some of the passengers have already issued investigative missions through the Adventurers' Union.

It's just that these tasks are not of high level and don't pay much.

For a while, no one took it.

After all, the reason for the disappearance of the regular ship is not something that low-level adventurers can participate in.

High-level adventurers don't look down on that kind of reward, and they don't make money when they spend time and effort, who is willing.

But the people who issued the investigation mission were the families of those ordinary passengers.

There is not much to be paid for.

The trade union intends to centralize the remuneration of these people's tasks and issue a unified investigation mission.

It's just that some family members are stingy and short-sighted,

I think that if the person who takes over the task only investigates the whereabouts of a certain big person, he will make a mistake.

Wouldn't it be a waste of money to give up investigating the whereabouts of their families?

Therefore, the matter has not been promoted.

But now the situation reported by the two Nock has made the branch president match.

Although Nock said that the body of the six-headed snake was blown up,

But since the other party said that there were other survivors, they wanted to confirm whether the regular ship was not

Being attacked by a six-headed snake is not a difficult task.

If this is confirmed, then it will not be difficult to distinguish the truth from the other things that Nock said next.

The people of the Adventurers' Union worked hard to ensure the safety of their employers,

But at a critical moment, he was expelled by his employer and put in danger.

Even after being rescued, you have to abandon the adventurers who protect themselves,

This kind of excessive behavior, as the branch president, must seek justice for the adventurers.

Don't think that the aristocracy is great, in front of the newborn behemoth,

The king is not good!

Their purpose is to replace the Holy Church and become the number one force on the mainland.

I didn't see that the Holy Church couldn't sit still, and sent someone to join them!

The little aristocrats dare to deceive them into having no one in the union?

If you don't stand up for yourself at this time,

How do they co-opt these wild masters for the union's use.

In the future, these masters will be famous, and the union will plan to use fame and fortune to buy them.

Let them be the thugs of the union.

When the time comes, I'm afraid that the Holy Church will not have as many masters as their Adventurers' Guild!

All in all, the branch president slapped Nock on the chest and promised,

As long as Nock didn't lie, the union was their strongest backing.

I will definitely not let Nock and the others suffer.

For this reason, both Nock and Leo were happy in their hearts,

That's going to drag on in the union for two hours.

In addition to the time to apply for a new identity card, the rest is to complain and pat the branch president!

"Knock, where are we going next?"

Leo put away his ID card and asked Nock.

Although Freya's quest problem was solved, they still had no money on them.

Although Leo felt that if Nock had complained that they had no money,

The branch president might lend them money as well, but in that case,

Wouldn't it be too much.

After all, the two of them have already fooled the old man,

In the future, this old man will definitely be hated by Freya,

I don't know if this old man's identity can withstand the forces behind Freya.

If not, I'm afraid he will be pitted.

Perhaps it was with this thought in mind that the two of them did not continue to go too far.

"I don't have to go anywhere, I've already found my target."

With that, Nock led Leo towards an alley diagonally across from the Adventure Guild.

As soon as they entered the alley, the two heard the sound of punching and kicking and a burst of insults.

"Stinky boy, run, you still dare to run! Uncle, I'm an adventurer, can you offend?

Obediently hand over this month's monthly money, and hand over your sister, maybe,

For the sake of being your brother-in-law, I can beat you a few less punches and reduce your monthly money. ”

Hearing this, the two of them immediately frowned.

Someone actually collects protection money in the name of adventurers?

Those who do this kind of thing are generally not local ruffians and hooligans.

Moreover, there is an adventurer's union, how can it be allowed to have an adventurer's reputation ruined like this.

Any organization that wants to become bigger and stronger can not care about the loss of money, but it must be very important to pay attention to reputation.

In addition, Nock and the two have been in contact with the branch president, and no matter how you look at it, he is an old man with a strong sense of justice.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't dare to sell it badly.

After all, it's not that you're miserable, people will definitely sympathize with you.

Selling miserably also depends on the object!

"It seems that we will have a lot of gains this time.

Come to think of it, this one is richer than those 'well-wishers'! ”

Nock motioned for Leo to make a move, after all, fighting and blackmailing is such a thing, he is not a priest to make a move.

Even if they extort bad people and ill-gotten gains,

Because this kind of behavior is expressly forbidden in the dogma of the Church.

It's just that Nock is not pedantic,

He's also flexible.

The methods of quick money are all in the criminal laws of various countries.

He can't be bad for the good guys, he can only do it to the bad guys.

Anyway, the bad guys suffer, and the ones who clap their hands must be the good guys.

Leo, who got a hint from Nock,

Clenched his fists and rushed into the end of the alley,

After a "Who are you?"

It's the sound of a "ping-pong" meal.

Then there was another cry for mercy,

Nock heard a timid thank you again,

Then, Leo walked out with an unrecognizable young man.

Nock probed the man's breath,

Yes, the strength of the black iron level, the breath is still weak, and it is estimated that it is barely the first level of black iron.

This kind of person can pass the test of adventurers, it's impossible!

But to say that he is imposting, this Nok does not believe it.

After all, if it's really fake, it's easy to be exposed.

In particular, the risk-takers' union implemented the new system.

Check one and one accurate.

"Mr. Adventurer, would you mind telling me which adventurer you are?"

Nock crouched down, smiled and asked the youth:

"Hmm...... The Woman of Limenqi...... Nest cauldron cloth ash square pot in the door! ”

"Yo, it's really organized, it's still a big fish."

Nock thought it was just the young man's personal behavior, but he didn't expect that there was someone behind him to support him.

He immediately glanced at Leo.

"Search this little brother."

Since this is really an adventurer, then he must have an identity card on his body.

Soon, Leo retrieved a pitch-black piece of iron from the young man's body.

Looking at the patch in his hand, Nock was a little confused.

Is this an ID card?

Although Nok has never used a black iron identity card,

But just now in the hall, I also saw someone using the black iron ID card to hand over the task.

Although it looks similar on the outside, the texture is ......

Nok had the mentality of trying, and injected a little mana of his own into the iron piece.

Outcome......

Disappear off the face of the earth.

The mana swept over the surface of the iron sheet, blowing the dust off it.

There was not a trace of movement in the iron piece.

"Shhh

Nock and Leo looked at each other and took a breath of cold air.

Good guy, you dare to forge an adventurer's identity card and pretend to be an adventurer to extort money!

This guy is bold enough!

This was known to the branch president, and he had to be skinned and cramped!

Because this matter is too small, it's just that some people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick and want to fish in troubled waters.

But to put it mildly, it was a premeditated new reform to undermine the adventurers' unions!

Regardless of whether there is anyone behind this guy or not, the two of them dare not deal with this matter privately.

The two who originally planned to borrow some money from this young man to spend,

Directly knocked the young man unconscious, and carried him back to the Adventurers' Union.

The two found the branch president again,

Their findings, along with the pieces of iron used as evidence, were given to the branch president.

"You say that he is holding this piece of broken iron, pretending to be a black iron adventurer, and extorting money everywhere?"

The branch president held the broken iron piece with a look of disbelief.

"He's smart, and he's fishing in troubled waters by taking advantage of people's unfamiliarity with the new identity card."

Nock saw the other party's expression and knew that the other party didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

He immediately spoke:

"Lord, you don't seem to be planning to deal with this guy?"

The branch leader smiled: "Forget it, he has been repaired so badly by you,

I'll warn him again in a moment not to do it again. ”

Nock's face suddenly fell, if he hadn't fooled the old man to help him carry the thunder,

He really didn't want to help this fool.

"Lord, if you think so, you're not far from bad luck."

Nock's words made the branch president unhappy.

"What do you mean, Nock Lane?"

Nock fearlessly looked at the branch leader who was blowing his beard and glaring, pointed to the iron piece in his hand and said:

"Although as adventurers, it is easy for us to tell that this piece of iron is a fake.

But as someone who has seen this thing for the first time,

I didn't suspect that the piece of iron was fake the first time I got it.

That's because I've seen the style of other Black Iron Adventurer cards in the lobby,

At first glance, there is not much difference between the two.

Whether it's color and shape, or even it carefully adds a little inconspicuous pattern,

When you see it up close, you think it's mysterious.

If I hadn't known how ID cards were verified,

I almost thought he was really from some of the adventure group.

So think about it, as an ordinary person who can't touch the adventurer's identity card and can only look at it from a distance,

When people see this piece of iron, will they subconsciously think that he is real?

Moreover, this guy's strength is not high, even if he is a professional, if he has a heart or not,

One or two adults can take him down.

But judging by the arrogance of the person I met him today,

I'm afraid that he has already succeeded one after another, otherwise he would not use the word monthly money instead of the protection fee collected.

He didn't dare to threaten the boy to contribute his sister.

Obviously, there is an organization behind him that supports him to do so.

Moreover, before he was knocked unconscious by us, he clearly said,

His eldest brother won't let the two of us go.

That is, this is a premeditated extortion of impersonating adventurers.

To put it mildly, it ruined the reputation of the Thiva Array Adventurers' Guild and affected the Adventurers' Guild

The image in the hearts of the people of Teva.

In the grand scheme of things, is this a conspiracy against the new system of the Adventurers' Union?

Otherwise, the other party, a small black iron-level professional, would dare to impersonate under the nose of the Adventurer's Guild

Adventurers, ruining the reputation of the Adventurers' Guild?

Moreover, whether this phenomenon occurs only in the town of Tiva, or in all parts of the country, or in the entire continent

Will this happen?

What if someone pretends to be a Silver or even Gold adventurer?

Even, there are people pretending to be adventurers above the gold level?

After all, gold-level adventurers are scarce, what are their identity cards like,

Not to mention the common people, even we adventurers ourselves have rarely seen it, right?

Anyway, if a gold-level powerhouse appears in front of me with a golden card,

Saying that he is a gold-level adventurer of the Adventurers' Guild, I definitely don't dare to verify the authenticity.

Not to mention that a gold-level one suddenly pops up, who dares to verify the authenticity?

If that kind of person represents the adventurer's union, he has reached some ulterior agreement with some local nobles or city lords

Do you think those nobles will confirm the truth of this with the adventurers' union?

After the incident, those who were deceived came to the door, and we only used one sentence that the person was a liar.

Do you think you can send the victim away?

Therefore, it is imperative that the branch president thoroughly investigate the matter and report it to the Federation of Trade Unions.

It is also necessary to determine the title and identity card style of adventurers at each stage as soon as possible.

In addition to the core secrets, it is best to publish the way to distinguish the true from the fake.

In this way, even if someone is already secretly pretending to be us,

will also be caught off guard by our hand,

The crime that is now going on has to be stopped.

Otherwise, wait for things to break out,

Not to mention that the adventurer union is bigger, it is a question whether the reputation can be maintained! ”

At this moment, the branch president was completely frightened.

"Isn't it! Is it really that serious?"

"It's not serious, you can report this matter and my analysis to the headquarters now.

With the current means of the union, it shouldn't be difficult to contact the headquarters, right? ”

As soon as Nock's words came out, the branch president couldn't sit still.

The guards of the Guild were called to guard the two Nocks and the unconscious youth,

He went to contact the headquarters himself.

Seeing this, instead of being nervous, Nock smiled happily.

This unexpected gain may bring him into the eyes of the higher-ups of the Adventurers' Guild.

In the future, it may be able to pave the way for him to gain some power within the Adventurers' Guild.

Nock, already excited in anticipation,

The person behind this young man is really plotting against the adventurer's union.

If not, it would be a pity.
