Chapter 10: What a wonderful world
"Little sister, the children's area is here."
After walking for half an hour, Diana and Lune arrived at the office used by the Holy Court to issue various commissions.
Busy.
Some people hurriedly pushed the door in, while others stopped at the door, as if they were struggling with whether to accept the commission with little money.
Diana walked up the long staircase to the inside of the office.
A young woman dressed in a clergyman's hooded robe walked up and gestured to a separate area with free snacks, drinks, and toys, as well as tasks for the little ones to practice.
For example, helping the owner find the cat, sweeping the streets, and crusading against the slimes outside the city, those errand tasks that originally belonged to adventurers have been divided into novice exclusive tasks.
It is used to help novice investigators quickly become familiar with the operation of the firm, and can also accumulate experience and points to help them become full-fledged investigators.
So Diana did see a lot of people in the children's area, and some children about Diana's age were noisy in it.
Diana hurriedly waved her hand and explained to the staff of the firm, "Then I am the official investigator, and I am here to find the commission and teammates......"
As she spoke, Diana reached into her purse.
Hiding in his satchel, Lu En saw his little palm reaching out in front of him, as if he was still groping for something.
Lune shifted slightly, then used his little paw to pull out the official investigator's ID from under him.
The young dragon's little paw reached out of the canvas bag and handed Diana the investigator's papers.
After getting the papers, Diana reflexively replied, "Thank you." ”
Diana handed over the investigator's papers, which had been prepared in advance, to the staff.
She didn't notice that the corners of the staff's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
What was it just now? Cats? Can a cat's small paws hold documents?
Forget it, let's just not see it.
The staff opened the small black notebook the size of his palm, and the magic power on the document surged, and some brief information about Diana appeared, after noticing that Diana was thirteen years old and actually had the combat power of a third-order promoter.
She couldn't help but raise her head and look at the cute blonde girl in front of her again.
The blonde girl's big eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be a little confused, wondering why the big sister was looking at her like this.
Diana...... I don't think I've heard this name before......
There are too many duplicate names in the empire, and it should be impossible.
After confirming that the information was correct, the staff returned the small notebook to Diana, and by the way, showed her the direction of the office hall.
She folded her hands and bowed her head slightly.
"The emperor is above, may the emperor protect us......"
Diana hurriedly replied in a decent manner, "The emperor is above." ”
Listening to their familiar conversation made Lu mutter.
He kind of understood why the supreme ruler of an empire would be called an emperor.
It turned out that I was afraid of skewering someone sitting on the golden toilet......
After the audit, Diana went to the office hall where the official investigator could advance.
She looked around.
The walls of the office hall are covered with flags of various expeditions, depicting magnificent landscapes and heroic deeds of warriors, and several portraits of soldiers in armor are erected aside, those who have made great achievements in battles to defend their families and countries.
The display case is filled with various medals and badges, showing the glory of their predecessors and the hardships of their adventures.
Occasionally, an investigator or two would walk by, gazing at the medals and telling their companions anecdotes about the battles and victories of their predecessors.
The towering pillars are carved with mysterious runes, and the magic flows through them, and the lights overhead emit a soft and warm glow, creating a mysterious and reassuring atmosphere throughout the hall.
Diana also saw a large wooden table in front of the counter in the office hall, piled high with books and forms.
Several staff members of the office were carefully sorting through the materials, sometimes nodding carefully, sometimes flipping through them quickly.
Not far from the counter stood a huge bulletin board, plastered with maps around the royal capital, as well as announcements of various temporary missions and expeditions.
A number of new investigators are flipping through the circulars to find the right commission for them, eager to embark on their own adventures with anticipation and anticipation.
There are also some seating areas in the hall, with comfortable sofas and tables, and the office will also provide some drinks for a fee, of course, not alcohol, and Emperor Ramon had just issued a ban on alcohol the year before last, just to limit some young and vigorous little ones from fighting in groups with alcohol.
While waiting for the appropriate commission and follow-up, the lounge area became a meeting and communication place for some investigators.
They shared their experiences and valuable experiences from their adventures with each other, and the crowd burst into laughter and excited applause.
The entire office hall is full of enthusiasm, energy and dreams.
This is the starting point of the adventure and the beginning of new stories and legends.
Everyone believed that they could make a name for themselves and become legends, just like the old guys who hung on the Wall of Honor.
Everyone has a yearning for the unknown world and a desire to explore it.
Diana looked at the bustling office hall and smiled, this is the life she has always wanted.
She stepped forward and told the staff what she wanted to find a team.
As a result, the busy staff did not look up at all, but pointed to the large bulletin board in the center of the room, next to which there was a section dedicated to recruiting members and finding teams.
At this time, there were a lot of people around the recruitment fence, they were tall, five big and three thick, and the recruitment fence was tightly enclosed, even if Diana tried to stand on tiptoe and stretched her neck, she still couldn't see what was written on it.
"Little girl, you can't be an investigator with this little body, you have to grow a little taller, a little stronger."
Some of the older investigators, seeing Diana's embarrassment, couldn't help but smile, respecting the old and loving the young, they smiled and made a little gap for Diana.
"Thank you."
Diana quickly thanked the uncle, she squeezed into the crowd with all her might, and Lune felt that she was having trouble breathing in her satchel, and she was about to become a paper dragon.
The congestion level is comparable to that of a subway during rush hour.
Diana swayed from side to side, and finally came to the front of the group, where cute little heads appeared in front of a group of sturdy warriors.
She looked left and right, wanting to take a few more looks, and every now and then let out a few more exclamations.
"Hmm...... The four-man squad lacks a mage. The current lineup is a paladin with rough skin and flesh who can't hit the monster, a priest who has mastered the high-level purification of the undead and manipulates the flow of water, and a thief who is proficient in all aspects. Originally, there was a mage in the team who could use high-level powerful spells, but she could only release them once a day, and now she has returned to her hometown to visit her relatives and leave the team for a while, so she has to find a temporary teammate to crusade against the demon frog......"
Luan sneaked his little head out of his satchel, he looked at this lineup a little familiar, and always felt that sooner or later he would become a funny character or a mascot when he joined this team.
Hence the direct veto.
The young dragon looked at it sneakily again.
"A black knight in heavy armor of unknown origin and a strange-looking maid need teammates who are familiar with the environment of the royal capital, and this is not good......"
Diana looked left and right, up and down, and suddenly felt her perspective rise higher and higher, until her feet were off the ground.
Only then did she find herself being lifted by the collar and slipping up, like a cute kitten being grabbed by the back of her neck.
Shrinking back is cute.
"Little one, don't look, there's no team you're looking for."
A strong male voice rang out from behind Diana.
Diana looked back, puzzled.
"Why?"
"It's all about issuing difficult tasks, and only professional investigators are qualified to take them, so it's difficult to commission and there are a lot of casualties. No one is going to accept a little underage guy. ”
Diana, who was caught up in the air, became more curious, and hurriedly asked, "High difficulty?" How difficult is it? Can you defeat a sixth-order spell beast? ”
"Huh? Sixth order? ”
The strong man and his teammates who lifted Diana were stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, and they thought the little guy was joking.
"Little friend, do you know how strong the sixth-order cursed beast is? It could easily slaughter hundreds of investigators. At most, our squad only participated in the crusade of the fifth-order cursed beast. ”
The uncles are not laughing, after all, the fairy tongue is unscrupulous, and it is normal for the little guy not to know the specific situation, and the knight's biography has read too much, and he always thinks that the cursed beast is nothing more than that.
Only these investigators, who are struggling on the brink of life and death, know the horror of the cursed beast.
A promoter is a person who has attained extraordinary powers.
There are many types of supernatural powers, which are broadly divided into two things: magic and faith.
Magic comes from the body, people gather magic power to operate according to certain rules, they can increase the release of spells, fireballs, ice spears, wind knives, etc., the same can use magic to increase the flesh, so that it is as hard as steel, if combined with time-tested muscles and skills, it can be indestructible.
Two different ways of working magic have also given rise to different classes.
Faith, on the other hand, is a blessing from others and a symbol of people's souls, and it is the clergy who turn faith into strength, such as the monks of the Holy Court, who believe in the emperor.
The promoters who master the extraordinary power are much stronger than ordinary people, so they also eat their own talents, and their own talents directly determine the upper limit, and ordinary people can only stay at the first to third levels in their lives, and then go further, like a fool's dream.
The vast majority of investigators are only about the second order, and the third order is rare, let alone the fourth order, and all they can do is clean up some of the cursed beasts of the same level that occasionally appear.
Once a curse beast above the fifth order appears, it will need to be coordinated by the Holy Court Office and issue a commission for joint hunting.
As for the sixth-order cursed beast, everyone hadn't seen it in years.
Listening to the basic knowledge explained to her by Uncle Zhuang, the smile on Diana's face gradually froze, she had never heard of such a thing, had the sixth-order spell beast not appeared for several years......
Isn't the teacher deliberately cheating people!
"Alright, I'll show you a list of informal investigators, they should be short of people. Children want children's Yazi to study hard. ”
As he spoke, the unknown uncle put Diana down, and he reached out and picked up a pamphlet from under the bulletin board where he was recruiting teammates.
Receiving the answer she didn't want, Diana had no choice but to leave and go to the rest area, ready to see what the so-called informal team really was.
Diana opened the manual and rummaged through it.
At this time, she knew what the so-called informal team was, and it turned out that the investigators formed a formal team and needed official review for registration, mainly to determine the overall strength of the team and the direction of the investigation.
It's not just something that can be formed casually.
There are many benefits for the regular team, and the firm will also take the initiative to assign some large-scale tasks to the strong team.
Of course, ordinary people can also form teams, but those are informal teams, which are not officially recognized, and there are many reasons why they cannot form an official team, but in fact, there is only one reason - insufficient strength.
Those people are just making a small fuss, working as part-time temporary workers.
Diana sat on the sofa in the lounge area and flipped through a few pages, and the captain's information she saw was some fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers.
The most outrageous thing is that some people still use the temporary team handbook as a confession wall, which makes Diana not interested, and after a few cursory pages, she soon came to the last page, which is the latest unofficial team recruitment information.
As far as the eye can see, five big characters.
"Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment?"
Diana muttered to herself, the mercenary was called an age-sensitive name, but it was eliminated a long, long time ago.
The Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment appeared in front of Diana like dust that had crossed history.
Curious, she reached out and flipped through it, looking at the specific information of the captain.
"Ace, male, twenty-two years old, fifth-order promotioner......"
"Because the first time I came to the royal capital, I don't know much about the nearby environment, and now we need a guide who understands the nearby terrain information, we want to explore the epidemic mountain range, the strength conditions are not limited, it is best to have a third order or above, and be able to protect ourselves......"
Promotions above the fifth order, ready to explore the unknown Blight Mountains?
This made Diana, who had always been a little lost, instantly refreshed.
The Blighted Mountains are sparsely populated and full of miasma, and few people will take the initiative to go there except for some special gathering tasks, which also means that there will be some powerful cursed beasts hidden in them!
Looking at the conditions again, Diana is barely suitable, although she rarely goes out, but she can memorize every detail of the map with all kinds of geographical knowledge she has learned since childhood.
"Karma!"
Luan, who was sticking his head out of his satchel, also saw the name on the manual, and he screamed softly, and sure enough, Diana also noticed this detail.
"This name is so familiar......"
Diana slid her finger down, eventually seeing a restriction at the end.
"Team members...... Only for Asians? ”
At this time, there was also a noise at the entrance of the office hall.
"Big brother, I said it all, your method is not good, and you can't recruit people at all. The Moon Eating Empire is not our hometown, how can there be so many sub-people...... Wait a minute...... Who did I see ......"
A more familiar voice reached Diana and Rune's ears, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a fiery red figure bouncing straight towards them.
"Hey! Ha ha! I knew we'd meet again sooner or later! ”
The long fiery red hair and fluffy fox ears all point to a person's name.
Kitt.
