Chapter 43: The Grey Crown
Luo Mu and the three of them soon came to the lime street, it is still early, and the three of them also have the time to take a stroll on the lime street, speaking of which, the three of them really haven't walked around the lime street together, when the three of them came for the first time, because they met Mr. Nishizawa, the three of them patronized and chased, how can they have the leisure to look at the surrounding goods?
It's still early in the morning, the shops on Lime Street are yawning and just opening the store, Nogris has no restraint on them, what time to open the door when they want, if you are in a bad mood today, it is common to sleep until the afternoon, there are also some stall people on both sides of the road, seeing Luo Mu and the three of them walking by, they also laughed and shouted, no matter whether the three of them want to buy it or not.
Although there are not many people on Lime Street at the moment, Luo Mu and his party are still attracting frequent attention when walking on the street, and the three of them have been out of the limelight in the college evaluation competition in the last semester, especially Luo Mu, who is definitely a well-deserved recognized soul envoy, especially when all the circumstances are not in his favor, Luo Mu can be said to have turned the situation around by himself.
After the college evaluation ended, what Luo Mu didn't know was that many Huaichun girls secretly sent him love letters and asked him to meet, although Sirius was almost recognized as Luo Mu's girlfriend, but Sirius did admit in public that she was Luo Mu's maid, so many girls did not give up, in the world of the soul master, the strong have always been respected, who doesn't want to have a strong partner?
But all the love letters have been smashed by Ciris through gritted teeth, and then thrown into the trash, with Luo Mu's mentality of not caring at all, naturally he has never paid attention to it.
However, a few months have passed, and the popularity of the three has gradually decreased, but the three names of Luo Mu, Sean, and Qiu have been remembered by the whole school, and the three of them have attracted attention wherever they go.
Qiu seems to be born with the ability to be immune to the gaze of the people around him, and Luo Mu is extremely sensitive, he can accurately feel the gaze from any direction, and at the same time, he can also judge whether the emotions contained in the gaze are good or evil to a certain extent, but this feeling of always being watched is actually very difficult for Luo Mu, probably because of the habit he left before, he is more accustomed to being in a state of no one watching, just like at that time, because Miao Yun was too beautiful, Luo Mu also applied to the Igniz headquarters for a change of partner more than once.
Only Sean seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight so much that he couldn't help but sway when he walked, and Qiu only rolled his eyes when he saw it.
As the three of them walked, they passed by the alchemy shop they had entered when they first came to Lime Street, where did they first meet Nishizawa-sensei, and the three of them couldn't help but smile when they looked at the name of the shop, who would have thought that they would meet their teacher in this way?
Lime Street is extremely long, and there are countless branch roads, the three of them walked while walking, with Sean's family background, it still can't be used as a big money on Lime Street, but ordinary things can be bought at will, all the way down, Sean bought a lot of strange little things, Sean has soft ears, and is particularly easy to trust others, as soon as the shopkeeper says something, he immediately believes it, and then he has to buy it, and he won't even bargain.
Qiu and Luo Mu shook their heads frequently, but Sean really didn't buy anything valuable, and the two didn't say anything.
The three of them walked around like this, and when they approached the Crown of Lime, it was already close to noon, and there was a special teleportation array on the side of the Crown of Lime, and the three of them were mainly for shopping, but they could teleport directly next time.
The crown of lime is the name of a building, Luo Mu looked at the wide building in front of him, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the building in front of him was circular, and the exterior wall was still the unique gold and iron black of Nogris architecture, but the building of the crown of lime was covered with a lot of golden exterior wall decorations, and there were many spires on the building that pierced out at will around them, these spires seemed to be completely out of order, and the spires were also covered with golden decorations, and at this moment, under the light of the morning sun, they reflected the bright light.
From the sky, the building is a crown, a crown on top of a lime serpent's head!
With the efforts of the three of them shopping, there were gradually more people on the Lime Street, and there were many doors on the side of the Lime Crown, and there were already people in and out of them at this moment, some people came out of the teleportation array and entered, and some people jumped down from the air, and even entered directly through the door on the roof.
Sean glanced at those flying in the sky with some envy, and said, "Eh, let's fly next time, how cool is it!" As he spoke, Sean made a flying appearance with both hands, and the expression on his face became greasy, but Qiu and Luo Mu ignored him and walked inside, the soul power of the three of them at the moment can naturally support them to fly, but it is completely unnecessary, and Luo Mu and Qiu don't like the gaze of others.
Sean was still fantasizing about flying in the air, and when he looked back, Luo Mu and Qiu both walked to the edge of the Lime Crown and walked in quickly, Sean hurriedly shouted and ran over.
As soon as he stepped into the crown of limes, the scene in front of him made Luo Mu feel like he was back in the Cyrenaica Disedris Guild, it was still a typical Nogris golden decoration style, with gorgeous chandeliers overhead, and the walls were elegantly decorated, but it was obviously more casual than any place in the school of Nogres, revealing a sense of casualness and ease.
The Lime Crown is already in a ring, it is said that at the beginning, it was an abandoned wall of a factory, located in the middle of nowhere and few people cared about it, which made everyone choose the location of the transaction, and there is a ring corridor around the outer wall inside the Lime Crown, and at this moment the people in the corridor are standing together, or smoking cigarettes and laughing about the interesting experience of the last mission, or a little serious thinking about the task list in hand.
There is a small bar counter every 100 meters in the circular corridor, the bar is embedded in the inner side of the corridor, and there are one or two waiters standing in it, these waiters are all staff appointed by Nogres, belonging to a part-time student job, after the Lime Crown was officially made by Nogres, the publication of all tasks will naturally be reviewed by Nogres, but it can be chosen according to the needs of the person who issued the task whether to keep it confidential.
This kind of measure is extremely necessary, which to a large extent prevents the emergence of some evil tasks, and it is also conducive to Nogris to grade all tasks, just like Luo Mu in Disedris, task classification is sometimes not only to prove the strong level of the person who completes the task, but more importantly, to protect them, so as not to accept a task far beyond their own strength and die.
The task of the crown of lime also adopts the task grading mechanism of the Hunter Guild, from the soul disciple to the highest soul king, corresponding to the six levels of emerald, ruby, brass, silver, gold, and platinum, unlike the Hunter Guild, the new hunter can only be the white porcelain level, and the soul master has been an emerald level at the beginning, for example, the ruby level task is a task that the general soul envoy level soul master can accept, and the tasks of the gold and platinum levels are extremely difficult to see, after all, the soul lord and the soul king have no spare time to complete the task.
Nogres-Crown of Lime may be the largest guild of soul masters.
The biggest difference between it and the Hunter Guild is that it will not prevent students from challenging difficult tasks, and there is no guarantee, and the commission drawn is also very low compared to the Hunter Guild, so gold-level tasks may often be completed by several Soul Lords, after all, the Soul King is too rare, that is, in the Nogris School, the number of Soul Kings can be counted on almost one hand.
And the lowest-level emerald quest, although it corresponds to the soul apprentice-level soul master, but basically no soul apprentice will come here to take the task, because after staying in Nogris for a year, ninety out of nine people have advanced above the soul seal, and in the first year, the freshmen have no time to take on the task at all, and the emerald level tasks are often some missing person notices, or small tasks such as keeping pets and repairing sewers.
Most of the tasks in the Crown of Lime are focused on the Ruby to Silver level, and gradually decrease, because the Soul Master of the Soul Envoy rank is the most, and the higher you go, the rarer it becomes.
After the three of them came in, Sean also ran to the bar on the side like a treasure to buy two glasses of mixed wine, a glass of juice, and handed it to Luo Mu and Qiu, and the three of them took the cup in the wide atrium in the center of the Lime Crown, the Lime Crown still maintains the oldest mode of receiving tasks, the task books are randomly nailed to the wall, and there are also tasks on some task boards, if you find a good task, you only need to take the task book down, take it to the bar to register, this task is yours.
In addition to the tasks announced on the task board, there is also such a person in the Crown of Limes, they are task sellers, they will take some of the better tasks, such as the expensive and easy tasks in advance, and then sell them to others, and collect commissions from them, this behavior is also acquiesced by Nogres, these task dealers maintain a criterion that will not violate Nogres's bottom line, so some people are too lazy to find themselves one by one from so many tasks, and they will also choose these task sellers.
There is also a kind of person who is relatively rare, that is, people who trade privately here, the task will not pass Nogres, this kind of task is more dark or dangerous, and there will be no specific rating, but the price is generally higher, this kind of thing Nogres also knows very well that it is impossible to completely curb it, it is simply unrealistic, so Nogris chose to maintain the safety of most missions to ensure the safety of students as much as possible.
This kind of person who comes to the Lime Crown to trade privately is generally unavoidable, after all, since he chose to trade privately, it means that he doesn't want many people to know about this matter, or he can't pass Nogres's review at all, in this case, it is impossible to trade with just someone, and generally this kind of person is even more cautious than the person who accepts the task.
And the students are also very clear that although the task of this kind of private transaction is very expensive, it is often impossible to guarantee their own safety, and it is completely unnecessary, unless some are acquaintances, or people who are in urgent need of money, they will choose to take risks.
The three of them wandered around casually in the crown of limes, except for Luo Mu, Sean and Qiu Ben had no definite goals, Sean took a sip of wine and asked, "Big brother, do you have any ideas?"
Luo Mu's eyes kept looking at the task book on the wall, and when he heard Sean's words, he just nodded casually in response, and then Luo Mu's eyes moved, and he saw that not far away, a mission was going to Port Leedby!
