70. Hunter's Guild
"What's going on? There's a ...... There's an inexplicable chill!?"
Aisha shuddered suddenly, and under her conditioned reflex, she almost thought that some strange bug had come to seek revenge on her. However, when she came back to her senses, she realized that this cold from the bottom of her heart did not come from her side.
"Ah, I know that someone in the Dao is calculating himself, but there is nothing he can do about it, this feeling is really terrible!"
Aisha was so excited that she almost dropped the item in her hand. Seeing this situation, Aisha could only reluctantly stop and straighten out her psychology first-she also found that since she had received some unsatisfactory news from Speaker Skasa, her mood had become much more anxious. It's dangerous.
But Aisha couldn't do anything, after all, the information that Skasa said about the "throat of the world" was really like a stab in the throat for Aisha. She could ignore everything else, but nothing could happen there—the symbolism and the practical meaning there, Aisha couldn't be clearer, and if anything happened there, don't say anything, let's clean up and wait for death.
"It's not so chaotic to die, isn't this the rhythm of the same end...... Ahh
Driven by the dissatisfaction surging in her heart, Aisha slammed her hand at a figure who suddenly arrived next to her—in order to facilitate disguise and spell casting, Aisha was still carrying a staff in her hand...... The tip of the staff that Skarsa gave to Aisha. He even took great care to insert a sharpened ruby on it, and if you didn't look closely, you could think it was a spear.
Or rather. This was originally intended to take into account the function of Lucky E? Aisha saw that there were two blood grooves on it, and she understood how big the brain hole of the person who made this weapon was - the mage took a ruby that was easy to stimulate fire energy to stab someone, even if it was really inserted into someone else's body, the fire energy released would directly scorch the wound, right? The wounds were all burned, and it didn't matter if there was a blood groove or not!
According to Speaker Skasa, this is currently the standard weapon of the Empire's mage troops. As for why he caused such a situation, he couldn't do anything. Originally, it was only intended to be equipped with the weapons of the soldiers of the troops. As a result, after the design of this blood trough was seen by a do-gooder, he thought it was quite practical and beautiful, so he started to modify his staff. In a later unexpected attack, the benevolent brother took advantage of this shady weapon structure. In the condition of exhausting his mental power and not being able to throw a flame. Forcefully stabbed the unlucky ghost who wanted to kill him with Lucky E...... However, this idle and panicked guy is the eldest young master of a certain councilor's family, and when his father mentioned it like this, everyone thought that it was very good to have such a skill as a mage, so the resolution was passed by a large vote.
It is said that the mages of the mage army now also need to learn to use the lucky E function of the staff and flexibly master the skill of stabbing people in the stomach...... It seems that strong flashing techniques and flirting with feet are also compulsory courses?
Aisha can be seen in advance. When this mage with such a Yin Damage skill is approached, it must not be them who suffer. Put a flashbang first to blind the opponent and lose the ability to resist. Then use the foot to slam the lower body, disarm the opponent's defense, and then use the lucky E to put three holes in the opponent's stomach bucket.
And now, Aisha needs to rely on this "standard equipment" to go to the city to install "official personnel".
The matter on the side of the "Throat of the World Realm" certainly made Aisha quite worried, but now she really couldn't pull away - vaguely, Aisha also realized that some things are not achieved overnight in a short period of time, and it is absolutely impossible to please herself by rushing there, and the current situation of the imperial capital, more or less, is also inseparable from the "Throat of the World Realm".
This was Skassa's own assurance, and if he dared to deceive himself, Aisha would surely make him understand what it was like to have three more holes in his stomach.
"I always feel like I'm deceiving myself now......" Seeing that she was now trying to convince her behavior, Aisha also felt helpless, Aisha, who had lived a stable life, recalled the memory of the lack of skills in the beginning. The only thing that makes Aisha happy is that not all the events that need to be cared about are on the way at the moment.
At least in the "Throat of the World Realm", it is not a big problem.
It was almost dawn, and seeing the number of pedestrians on the street one after another, Aisha hurriedly disguised herself as a sluggish person who was running around all night, and swayed into her destination with "vague steps".
"This guest, it's not time to open yet, can't break in......"
The waiter standing at the door tried to stop Aisha, but when he saw the badge on Aisha's chest, he was immediately dumbfounded. Skasa also prepared a set of relevant equipment, and the badge to prove Aisha's "identity" was naturally there. And the waiter's attitude, after seeing this badge, also changed quite quickly - even in a place like the imperial capital, where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, the captain of a mage unit is also not to be taken lightly.
The commander under the captain of the city management is the city manager, the squad leader of the mage unit, and the soldiers under him are also mages! The level differentiation of mages is naturally very different, but the mages who can serve in the army and whose magic level can be applied to the needs of the struggle, no matter how you think about the fireballs they rub, they can't compare with ordinary people. Therefore, although Aisha's identity is just a squad leader, no one dares to mess around.
At least, a migrant worker like a waiter with no background and no background will never offend the other party for the sake of "store rules".
Aisha ignored the waiter who hesitated and walked straight in.
"Release TaskRelease Task! I'll leave after sending it, as for whether you need to wait until the official door opens before posting it. I don't care, just keep this task in a prominent position for a while!"
Aisha entered the Hunters' Guild.
Aisha came up and expressed her intentions straight to the point, after hearing Aisha's words. The person in charge who rushed over was also relieved. Unlike the hunters who come to accept the mission and support their families, the person who issues the mission is the "gold master". It is the direct source of the guild's income, in other words, the guild's father.
If you give these people a good look, don't think about it, it will definitely be the guild itself that suffers. The Hunter Guild doesn't have a time limit for posting quests, and if you think about it, if someone is in a hurry to post a quest. As a result, it will not be accepted because it is closed at night, which is equivalent to pushing the customer to another place!
The so-called milk is a mother, and I saw that this young girl came to issue a task. The person in charge also had a smile on his face, smiling like an old chrysanthemum. Seeing that the relevant registrants were still preparing and no one cared, he simply copied the recording tool himself and ran to Aisha's eyes.
"Ask the guest. What kind of tasks are to be issued? We need to verify the difficulty of the tasks. This will help you find the most suitable hunter to help you solve the problem, of course, the fee will be different, and you can also increase the priority of your task by increasing the delegation fee, and we will recommend your task to the hunters first, and the last thing to state is that we only provide an intermediate platform, if the task cannot be completed within your expected time. That's not our responsibility, so be prepared. Many tasks are difficult to complete after many failures. ”
"What are the circumstances under which a published assignment is inadmissible?"
"Well...... As you may know, we are a Hunter's Guild, and in principle, we only issue quests that match the identity of 'Hunters', and the quests are mostly hunting, gathering, capturing and investigating, and the objects are basically limited to monsters - if you have some special needs, if you don't have to, you can move to other guilds. ”
If someone wants to buy murder, the Hunters' Guild will obviously not compete with the assassins for business, after all, it is very immoral to cut off people's money, and if you really annoy that madman who doesn't want to die, the consequences will definitely not be "greedy" for the reward of a task.
In that case, the Hunter Guild will even recommend customers to go to the appropriate guild to post the quest based on the content of the quest. It is precisely because of this that the Hunter Guild still has a good reputation among "peers".
Aisha thought about it, and felt that the "mission" she wanted to release should not be in line with the principles of the Hunters' Guild.
"Investigate suspicious people in the city, etc.?"
The person in charge couldn't help but frown when he saw the summary of the mission that Aisha had written. He looked up at the badge on Aisha's chest, looking a little nervous. Although this quest sounds a little weird and sensitive, the Hunter Guild is not without a quest that has a strong public flavor, but this quest is a bit intriguing......
"With all due respect, our Hunter Guild is a relatively positive guild and rarely involves disputes between people, so compared to some guilds, the Hunter Guild basically floats above the water. And a task like this is not suitable for a guild like ours to take over, right? It should be done in secret, and if it were given to us, wouldn't it be known all over the city?"
In that case, it will definitely make the "suspicious elements" who are hiding better disguised. The person in charge was a little skeptical, whether this was just a momentary brain fever of the girl in front of her, after all, Aisha's appearance was very young, and the whole person was filled with a kind of liveliness and youthfulness unique to young girls (pretending to be...... It's easy to think that this girl is a child who is not experienced enough, right?
"I just need to make it known to the whole city, why don't I ask you?"
"This ...... What do you mean by that?"
"There's something a little wrong with the atmosphere in the city right now, isn't it? The people up there are also worried about this, but after all, nothing has happened, and even if everyone is confident that they can calm any situation, if everything is 'fine', it will naturally be the most ideal outcome." So, you need to give a beating to some of the guys who are ready to move - let them realize that it is extremely easy to be exposed in this city, and countless experienced hunters are watching every move here, and under such psychological pressure, I believe that many guys will give up because of the pressure. As for the guys who haven't given up and continue to plan to make trouble, they will definitely become impatient and show their feet, right?"
From the very beginning, Aisha and Skasa had no intention of letting these hunters do the work for them. If only it were true. This is a matter of secrecy, so how can non-military "outsiders" be allowed to interfere? The reason for this is to take advantage of the identity of these folk hunters, who are undoubtedly biased towards the "people" side. Although the intersection between these hunters who do not work in peace and those ordinary people who live in peace and stability still needs to be studied, this is still the strength of the "people". On certain occasions, the strength of the hunter will be transformed into the strength of the people.
Aisha needs this kind of strength.
The pressure of all the people being soldiers is definitely not something that those who go deep behind enemy lines but do not have a high psychological quality can withstand. When a spy has a ghost in his heart, he not only needs to guard against those intelligence agents who are hiding in the shadows. It is also necessary to guard against ordinary people who live next to them in the open, for fear that one day they will not die at the hands of intelligence officers, but because of the reports of their neighbors...... This kind of pressure is indeed terrifying.
In fact, are there really spies from other countries? I'm afraid there are some. But at this time, they may not have that kind of mind.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't have much to do with your own power, and besides, in addition to the empire and the behemoth of the Holy See, most of you will not be idle to touch the big meow fart (river crab) stock.
But Skasa and Aisha need the imperial capital to remain in such a state - because that's the only way. Some things are just out of the way.
"So it's a long-term task. Every suspicious person can go to the city guard station to report it, and after verification, they can be rewarded. This task can be repeated as many times as you like, just to build momentum...... Got it?"
"Understood. The person in charge thought about it for a moment and agreed to the release of this task. According to the young mage, this task may really only be accepted by the Hunter Guild, which has a good reputation but has a wide range of business. After weighing the pros and cons. He also felt that such a task. It has no effect on the position of the Hunters' Guild.
The Empire has no intention of tying the Hunters' Guild to its own chariots.
The only thing to consider is whether there are any hidden secrets after this mission. The only person who came to post the quest was a young girl mage (...... I'm afraid it's just at the bottom, responsible for conveying the meaning of the upper class (...... )。
"What are you worried about?"
Aisha saw through the worries of the person in charge in front of her at a glance, but she didn't put it through immediately, but waited for a while before she "suddenly realized" to react.
"Don't just think about the gains and losses of your guild, take a long-term view, okay? You have to look farther—what kind of mentality will the hunters who carry out the mission do in this mission?"
"The mentality of the hunters?"
"Don't you understand? If most hunters aren't interested in this mission, then why should we bother to make such a fuss? Don't forget, some time ago, the Imperial Capital just opened up a new residential area, although it is a relatively small and compact building, but this is also the residence of the Imperial Capital?"
It's all said and done, and if you don't understand it, he, the person in charge, can go home and plant sweet potatoes.
The hunter profession is really not a safe profession. You must know that the plants and beasts that are easy to obtain only need to be obtained through regular channels, and there are also special quests to be issued, waiting for someone to complete the quest at some point - therefore, many of the quests that are usually posted in the Hunter's Guild are not easy to complete.
And if it's the kind of mission to hunt large monsters, it's an extraordinary danger to life. Anyway, it's a big guy that people usually have to hide around when they see it, unless it's a group with a certain size, strength and equipment that is passable, few people complete such a task. If given a choice, people will always want to do something less dangerous.
Hunters are also trying to support their families!
If you are looking for excitement, you can change your career to become a mercenary and live that day of licking blood...... But most of the mercenaries are also for a living, after all, high risk and high reward, this is not true at all. The first-line echelon of mercenaries, before they died, lived every day that ordinary people could not afford (is an ordinary person...... What about the luxury of life.
Since fighting for life and death is just to eat...... Now, if there is an opportunity, you only need to wander around the city and find those suspicious elements with bad intentions, and then you will be able to receive rewards and military merits, and who wouldn't want to? Rewards are secondary, and military merits are the key! Because the imperial capital has set a very low price for the foreign population who have come to settle down, and this is by no means a price that an ordinary hunter can afford, but if he has the military merits officially recognized by the imperial capital, he can get great preferential treatment when buying a house.
It is very easy to understand that if you have made meritorious contributions to the empire, you must be a great good citizen, and you can't ask for it.
As long as you become an officially registered resident of the imperial capital, the current policy, as long as you don't make trouble, even if you don't do it every day, you will get a certain subsidy, and the state will arrange some jobs for you - do you still need to be a hunter?
"Understood...... This is an opportunity to expand the influence of the Hunter Guild and further beautify the image of the Guild!"
The person in charge is not stupid, after Aisha mentioned this, he immediately understood the mystery.
- There are many good citizens who have contributed to the empire, and they have worked hard in the Hunters' Guild in the past to make a living! See? This is the quality of the Hunters' Guild! If it weren't for the good quality and high consciousness of the guild members, would the empire delegate such an important task to itself?
The gap with the "peers" has opened up all of a sudden! High-end atmosphere and grade! (To be continued......)
