"Annie? It's not time for delivery today, right? It's a little too early to come here to rush the delivery." I looked at Anne who appeared at the door with curiosity.
According to the agreement, the Mercenary Union's order for the inflatable valve should be completed in three installments, and the last delivery was just a few days ago. Does the Mercenary Union want to increase the order volume?
"I came to see you because the Mercenary Guild has a designated mission for you. I won it especially for you. It's not bad." Annie put her arms around my neck and said to me with a look of good for you.
"Designated task? For me?" I looked at Anne's face suspiciously and pushed hard. This damn woman was so strong that she couldn't push her away.
The so-called designated entrusted tasks are tasks issued by the mercenary union to designated mercenaries. Usually because only this person can complete the task, the reward is quite generous.
But such a task should have nothing to do with me, right? What other special talents can I have?
In the eyes of outsiders, I am just an ordinary third-level mercenary. Although the number of mercenaries who use bows and arrows is relatively small, they are not difficult to find. I should seldom show my other abilities to outsiders.
Are you trying to trick me again?
"No answer, I'm not free recently." This is not an excuse, I will be really busy recently.
"Don't worry, this task will definitely not waste your time. Come to the union with me first." After saying that, Annie ignored my struggle and dragged me directly towards the union.
"Let me go, let me go, at least let me put on my equipment first."
"Don't worry, no one can hurt you as long as I'm here. Besides, this is not a combat mission, so there is no need to bring equipment."
"At least let me put on my smock first!"
"It's best to wear it like this. It will be convenient for the mission."
"But I don't worry about Iniya being alone at home."
"Okay, many people know what you did the day before yesterday. Absolutely no one dares to take a chance on Aenea in the recent period."
"At least, don't drag me away!"
"Qin Xin, come back early for dinner." Iniya's voice came from far behind.
Mercenary union, VIP room.
"Is this the designated mission you told me about?" I looked at the white-robed woman in front of me, and looked at Anne suspiciously.
I have to say that the girl in front of me is very beautiful, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long blond hair hanging on her shoulders and clear green eyes.
"That's right." Anne said firmly.
When the girl saw me looking at her, she crossed her hands to caress her chest and leaned forward slightly. "May the light bless you."
The voice is soft and moving, as if it carries some kind of melody. Wait, people from the Temple of Light?
"Your job is to protect her." Anne continued.
"Protect her?" I looked at the patterns on the girl's white robe and said to Anne in surprise.
"That's right." Anne confirmed.
"Look, a sixth-level light magician." I pointed to the coat of arms on the girl's body that represented the level.
"Look at me again, an E-level mercenary, a third-level warrior-strength archer." I took out my mercenary badge and waved it in front of Annie's eyes. "Are you kidding me?"
"I didn't make it clear. In fact, this mission does not really require you to protect her, but she wants to experience the life of a mercenary. You only need to let her follow you for ten days." Anne explained.
"Are you kidding? The fight between the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness outside the city is bleeding like a river right now. Let her follow me and you want to trick me to death!" I pointed at the girl's particularly conspicuous white robe of the Temple of Light and roared at Anne.
"I assure you, no one dares to have any idea about her. You can rest assured on this. As long as you try your best to let her experience the life of a mercenary, it will be fine. There is no need to deliberately arrange anything."
"If it's so easy, why choose me? Why not just find someone else?"
"How could this be? How could you let a candidate saint from the Temple of Light live with a group of men?"
"Then why don't you take her to experience the mercenary life."
"Shall I take her to experience the office life of the president of the mercenary union? Even if I am willing, she is not willing. What she wants to experience is the life of an ordinary mercenary."
"It's about experiencing the lazy life of a mercenary guild branch president. I'm busy recently, making a one-way inflation valve, so I don't have time."
"Iniya said it, you made half a month's order of inflatable valves in one night, how could you not have time? In the worst case, I will help you finish the commission, and the processing fee will be paid." Annie didn't care.
said.
Aenea, you betrayed me!
However, with Annie's stingy surname, how could she be so easy to talk to? There must be something fishy about her.
"Even if I don't make the inflatable valve, I don't have time. I've been busy recently. There should be other female mercenaries in Crow City. You should go find them." After saying that, I turned around and planned to leave.
"First tell me about the mission reward! As long as you accept this mission, your mercenary level will be directly upgraded to D level, plus a mission reward of 100 gold coins." Annie grabbed me by the collar and said.
"Asshole, let me go. You can't afford to pay for the damage to the dress made by Iniya!" Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and I couldn't get rid of Annie's right hand that was holding my back collar.
"Also, Phyllis Academy of Magic's admission is free of entrance exams and tuition." After saying this, Annie let go of the hand holding my collar.
I turned my head and looked at Annie.
"This is the mercenary union. It's easy to find out the news that you came here to check for space magic information." Anne covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan, her eyes formed a crescent shape, and she looked like she was convinced of me.
"Do you still want to leave now?"
Mercenary Guild Hall Bar.
I sat face to face at a table with the girl I was entrusted with the task of "protecting."
Well, Annie has definitely convinced me. I can't refuse the reward of this mission at all. Even if it's a trap, I have to jump down.
Phyllis Magic Academy is very far away from Crow City, but you can still hear its name. You can imagine how influential Phyllis Magic Academy is.
What's more, according to rumors, the dean of Felice Magic Academy can make legendary space equipment.
Since space equipment can be made, there must be corresponding space magic inheritance, which means that hope of returning home can be found here.
However, the enrollment time and conditions I found directly poured cold water on me. Unless you have excellent magic talent, or have the qualification for admission without examination, ordinary people who want to enroll must pay 5,000 gold coins as the admission fee, and tuition and living expenses are not included!
Phyllis Magic Academy recruits new students every fall, and there are still about four months left. Excluding the time wasted on the road, if I want to enroll, I must collect more than 6,000 gold coins (1,000 gold coins) within two months.
tuition fees).
Originally, I planned to make money by selling clothes made of long-haired rabbit fur, but even so, there was no way I could earn 6,000 gold coins in just 2 months.
At the earliest, we have to wait until next year's enrollment period to collect enough gold coins.
But now, there is actually an opportunity to enter Phyllis Magic Academy for free, so I can't give it up at any cost, even if it means a sinkhole.
