The predecessor of the adventurer was the graduate of many colleges, because he could not find a way to join the army or become the private soldier of the nobles, so he could only run errands everywhere and accept the mercenaries who were entrusted to make money to live, but in order to facilitate management and command, the state and individuals established various guilds of all sizes and formulated many rules to restrain the mercenaries- Where there are rules and constraints, there will be middle two diseases who are unwilling to obey these rules and regulations, uh, no, I mean there will be a group of guys who do their own thing and ignore the rules, they would rather go alone to help children find pets, rather than go to the dragon with a large army.

Over time, these people gradually broke away from the mercenary guild and accepted various commissions on their own, either alone or with a few friends who got along with them, thus becoming the prototype of adventurers.

After joining the mercenary guild, there are many guarantees, and the large-scale operation of the haode guild even has the benefit of regularly distributing supplies such as advanced healing potions. Despite this, a large number of academy graduates still choose to become adventurers rather than mercenaries every year. The unfettered life, the romance of traveling the continent, the thrill of exploring dangerous places, the ability to hone your skills in bloody battles, and the possibility of your own adventures becoming legendary and sung by troubadours...... For young people who are full of enthusiasm and enterprising spirit just out of school, adventurer is undoubtedly the most suitable career for them.

After years of development, the number of adventurers on the Western Continent eventually far surpassed that of mercenaries, becoming the largest but incomparably scattered civilian liliang.

And now, Alicia is planning to concentrate this liliang.

"Sister, there is one thing that Ise doesn't quite understand. After the enthusiastic official uncle hurriedly left the room. Imrith tilted her head and raised her hand in confusion, "There shouldn't be any communication between us and the Eastern Continent, even if a large number of adventurers are recruited. And how can we send them there?"

"Didn't you say it before, there was a hasty teleportation on the Eastern Continent. Alicia put away her queen's aura and sat back on the sofa and gently pinched her hair, "Although the landing point of the teleportation is quite bad, it also provides a lot of information to our teleportation array staff, so that we can calculate the spatial coordinates of the other party before teleportation. As long as you use the ready-made teleportation array in Chebel City, you can use this coordinate to open a new passage and set up a spatial gate, and then send adventurers to the Eastern Continent in a steady stream. Those GIs who are likely to have chrysanthemums are already in danger, so they can be relieved to be done by the batwing people to do something [beep--] with peace of mind. ”

Sophia reminded with a little worry, "Alicia. Wouldn't this be a bit more burdensome for the teleportation array? It's the most important supply line for the coalition forces on the continent of Taranmere, so it will be a lot of fun if it strikes in case of an overload. ”

When the little queen heard this, she immediately nodded solemnly: "You are right. However, I didn't say that today's release of the commission will allow the teleportation array to start additional processing tomorrow, and it will take a lot of time to recruit adventurers. Although normally speaking, nowadays there is a large crystal screen as a promotional tool. The news and announcements spread quite quickly, and all the registration and preparations could be completed in about a month, but what do you think about taking it a little longer and waiting until the beginning of December before the expedition officially begins?"

"Ugh. Could it be ......" Chassi, who was not far away, immediately guessed the blonde girl's intentions. Suddenly there was a burst of sweat, "Alicia, did you deliberately postpone the operation until the winter vacation?"

"That's right, but there's no prize!" said Alicia with a snap of her fingers and a smile, "and as Sophia just said, the teleportation array in Chebel City will be an additional huge burden due to this expedition, and it is easy for accidents to happen. The most appropriate way to do this is to build another teleportation array, but it is very troublesome to debug the spatial coordinates. That's why I'm going to bring Michelle with me. And then let some great god easily handle this little thing that is easy for her, and it will be perfect. ”

"Wooh? Sister Ellie. Am I going too?" Michelle next to her pointed to the tip of her nose in surprise and widened her eyes.

"Of course, if you don't go, who am I going to use as bait to seduce the demon's extremely evil slimy tentacle monster boss so that it can take the opportunity to kill the cute girl when it is addicted to teasing the cute girl?" ”

Ilya, who was sitting next to the blonde girl, put her arms around her cute baby daughter Remy, and decided that it would be better not to say anything.

"Woo ——!?," Michelle shouted louder this time, "Weishenme is going to do this kind of thing!? Isn't there any other way to deal with that monster?"

"Absolutely. Alicia's words just made the natural dumb breathe a sigh of relief, but then made her gasp, "That's to let little Ace go to cos magical girl! Little Ace is so pure and cute, and with a beautiful magical girl costume, no matter what kind of tentacle monster will immediately be attracted to her and fall into the trap." ”

Although she has a deep understanding of her sister's undisciplined personality, her soft and cute sister still expressed her helplessness and shock at being shot innocently: "Sister, sister, my sister is ......"

"No!!" As the blonde girl expected, the kind-hearted natural fool immediately rushed over and hugged the crying and laughing Imrith tightly into her arms, "Sister Issy is just a child, and she must not be allowed to suffer this kind of thing! I see, I'll do the bait! Sister Ellie, as long as this is the case, you can defeat that hateful monster, right?"

Alicia opened her mouth and just wanted to say something, when Asami, who was nearby, had already strode over, slapped her palm on the top of the little queen's head and said with a smile, "Daoqian." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Under the embarrassed gaze of everyone nearby, the evil black-bellied blonde girl decisively lowered her head to the kind and brave natural fool with tears in her eyes, "I'm just joking with you." ”

"Wooh, are you just kidding?" Michelle didn't look angry at all. Tilting his head and asking with a confused face.

William pinched the bridge of his nose speechlessly and sighed deeply, "Although I have a certain gossip interest in you and this natural Shura field, for now, let's talk about the serious matter?" Alicia, you mean that you are going to use these two months to recruit enough adventurers. And then at the beginning of the winter vacation, you will personally lead them to the Eastern Continent, right?I admit that your people are no longer in the whole continent, but don't forget, adventurers are not soldiers, they will not obey your orders 100% absolutely. If you intend to command them as if you were commanding an army, zuihou will only backfire. ”

"I didn't intend to command them. "Actually, I don't even have the slightest intention of taking over command of this expedition. Adventurers are free. Many may sign up for the expedition at my call, but they are not here to fight for me. That's right, I've defeated many vicious enemies. At the same time, she is also the queen of the Birea Empire, with great power and legendary experiences, and is a respectable figure for adventurers. But, that's all. Free-acting adventurers do not have any habit of following the orders of others. Even mine is the same. The only way to get them to act in unison. Only let the largest mercenary guild take charge of the coordination - although the adventurer is reluctant to join the mercenary guild, he will still be willing to listen to the guild's arrangement in a few large commissions, after all, the two can be regarded as peers. ”

"Wait, wait. Sophia didn't even know that the folding fan in her hand had fallen to the ground, and interrupted with a stunned face, "Alicia, are you going to invite even the mercenaries?"

"Isn't this nonsense, isn't every large-scale national commission accepted by the Mercenary Guild first, and then the guild recruits powerful adventurers to carry out the action in a unified manner?" said with a natural expression on Alicia's face. "This 10,000-person ultimate commission is also an important event for all adventurers in the whole continent. The mercenary guild doesn't want to get a piece of the pie, so it's called a ghost. ”

——————————————————I'm the dividing line for a piece of the pie——————————————————

Leonard Mannes is the president of the largest mercenary guild in the Western Continent "Sword and Glory", according to Alicia, he is just in his early thirties, he took over the guild from his father a few years ago - to be precise, his irresponsible father left the guild leader to Leonard and then took his wife around the continent, and when the two returned, he also added a little sister to him who was embarrassed - The man who grew and maintained the guild in an orderly manner, although he came across as a man with little courage and conformism, was much better than his unscrupulous father.

Sword and Glory is an old guild founded by private individuals, the Mainnes family was originally a nobleman of the former Birea Empire, and later declined the title of nobility to the royal family for various reasons, and used the funds obtained from returning the fief to establish a mercenary guild. It is true that this method is more conducive to the development and training of the family than to keep the nobility and fiefdom empty, and the sword and glory have indeed completed many large commissions, but as the number of adventurers and the number of people who choose to be mercenaries are fewer and fewer, the guild has gradually begun to decline.

By the time of Leonard's generation, he had already put a lot of effort into barely keeping the guild running, as there were few major commissions issued by the countries on the mainland. If you can't find a way to make money like those slippery heads of the Mage Guild, such as holding the Reze Cup tournament and selling the ownership of the crystal screen to Queen Elysia Bixia, I'm afraid that this time-honored guild Zuihou will have to dissolve into many small guilds like others.

However, on this day, Leonard ushered in an unexpected figure in his office.

"Lord German, Lord Grod of the Aromatherapy Chamber of Commerce is looking for you. The secretary knocked on the wooden door and poked his head into the room and said, "He's outside now, what are you going to do?"

Leonard, who was having a headache trying to save money, raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and asked with a look of disbelief: "Who did you just say is here?"

"Lord Grod, the president of the Aromatherapy Chamber of Commerce. ”

The Aromatherapy Chamber of Commerce is now thriving in the Birea Empire and even the entire Western Continent, not only because of Grod's own management, but also because of Alicia's support to a certain extent. Rumor has it that Grod is the matchmaker between Queen Bixia and Ilya, who has hit the odds and gets Bixia's favor - of course, Leonard doesn't believe in this - so he gets the support and grows the business bigger and bigger. It is also said that Grod was only discovered by the discerning queen Bixia, but in any case, Grod's aromatherapy is now the largest private chamber of commerce in the Birea Empire.

So what is it that this big financier, who often entrusts Sword and Glory with cargo escort tasks, suddenly came to find him? Leonard was surprised. But he immediately nodded at the secretary and said, "Invite him in." ”

After a while, Grod's slightly chubby body appeared in Leonard's sight.

"Yo, brother, are you surprised to see me?" said Grod with a smile and beckoning to Leonard, "but don't be too busy being surprised, because there will be more surprising things waiting for you later." ”

Grod was both an elder and an old patron of the guild, and Leonard hurriedly stepped forward in person and smiled equally politely, "Where, where." Mr. Groder has always taken great care of our sword and glory, and how can I be surprised that it is too late to welcome it? Let's go sit down on the couch next to us. ”

Grod didn't shirk, walked straight to the sofa and sat down, "We are all acquaintances, so don't say those polite words." Dude, you're going to have a lot of luck this time. I'm just here to invest in advance and wait for the returns. Hm. This is also thanks to my well-informed information, if you come a day late, you are afraid that you will be squeezed out of the door by the heads of many chambers of commerce and even other gold owners. ”

"You're laughing. Although our Sword and Glory are known as the number one mercenary guild in the mainland, they are not popular to that extent. Leonard took a closer look at Groder and saw that the other party didn't seem to be joking, "Uh, could it be that something really happened? Could it be the legendary S-class commission, or a large national commission?"

"Want to know?" said Grod smirked as he leaned back lazily on the couch.

"That. Who did you learn this expression from? I always feel so evil......"

Grode, who remembered a certain beautiful blonde girl, suddenly slapped a fierce spirit, hurriedly sat up straight, patted his cheek hard, and said, "Ahem! I can tell you the details. But you are not allowed to leak it to the outside world. Also, my sources are absolutely reliable, because it was Queen Bixia who told me personally. ”

At that time, the story of being summoned by the little queen was like a handful of snot and tears, but fortunately, Grod's attention is now all focused on Leonard's body, otherwise in retrospect, it is estimated that ORZ would have been gray on the spot.

"Okay, haode. Regardless of the rumors outside, Grod must be more familiar with Queen Bixia, so Leonard couldn't help but swallow hard when he heard the words - since it was Alicia who told Grod herself, what Grod is about to say now can basically be regarded as Queen Bixia's dictation in a sense.

After looking around to make sure that there was no one around, Grod tried to lean in front of Leonard, and whispered in a low voice desperately: "Queen Bixia told me that she will issue an ultimate commission to all adventurers in the name of the Western Continent Unification Alliance! The content of the commission is to let the adventurers go to the Eastern Continent to rescue the Ming Empire that is fighting against demons in place of the main force of the coalition trapped in Tyranmere. I won't talk about the reward, anyway, it's enough to make the elves who are indifferent by nature blushing on the spot. But that's not the most important thing, you also know how difficult it is for adventurers to unify their commands, so she needs the help of the Mercenary Guild......"

Leonard was so excited that his whole body trembled violently, but he finally gritted his teeth fiercely to suppress his mood and asked seriously: "Lord Grod, do you mean that Queen Bixia will also ask me for a commission?"

"Of course, Sword and Glory is the number one mercenary guild in the continent, and it is also affiliated with the Empire. That black-bellied girl, uh no, how could that noble and intelligent little queen forget about you?" Grod retracted and patted Leonard on the shoulder and smiled, "Queen Bixia also told me that this is a very rare opportunity to make money, she and the alliance have a big share of the investment, and the rest of the part is shared among the major chambers of commerce, such as my aromatherapy." Since Sword and Glory is the largest mercenary guild, it's not surprising that I came to you, right?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about business, and I can't understand what you mean. Leonard replied scratching his head and slightly embarrassed, not even noticing Grode's disrespect to Alicia just now.

"It's okay, it's not good if you know business too well, otherwise I won't have anything to eat. Grod smiled and waved his hand to comfort, "Well, to put it simply, I came to you to invest, and when you are active in the Eastern Continent, I can take the opportunity to make more money, which is a mutually beneficial action." ”

"Active in the Eastern Continent?"

"Yes. Because you have to fight against the demon army, weapons, armor, magic crystals, potions, supplies, and other items need to be prepared in advance, right? Grod said with a smile even more on his face, "As for how we, especially Queen Bixia, make money after many adventurers are active in the Eastern Continent, I'm sorry, it's a trade secret, and I have nothing to say."
