Chapter 20 Will there be a market if there is demand?
It took a lot of effort for Alice to pull Ringer back, and pressed her down in front of the bar to listen to her explain the cause and effect.
"Ahem, the so-called Adventurer's Guild is an international neutral organization that aims to provide professional violent services to the public, chambers of commerce, government agencies, and even the military, and collect coins or other items that are sufficient to match their labor.
As a reward, those who provide this service are called adventurers. They sign an agreement with the union and gain permission to use the union's convenient and fast information channels to accept tasks by taking a commission from the commission, thus saving a lot of contact and recruitment.
The employer’s time. At the same time, the union will also provide them with many services such as combat training, mission subsidies, casualty pensions, legal advisors, etc. It can be said to be a win-win cooperation method..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Ringer's head hurt when he heard it. He quickly stopped Alice from talking and asked again: "What I'm asking is not this, but why did you establish this inexplicable organization and what does it have?"
Does it make sense?”
"Do you even need to ask?"
Alice glanced at him strangely, with a matter-of-fact expression: "Isn't it inevitable that the Adventurers' Guild will appear in adventure novels with a fantasy background? As for the meaning, its existence itself is a meaning. Without the Adventurers' Guild,
There are no more classic plots of recruiting teammates, exploring dungeons, finding treasures and settling commission rewards, so who can make up for the experience I lack?"
You guy...
Ringer rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "It sounds like the adventurer you are talking about is the same profession as the mercenaries that could be seen everywhere on this land three centuries ago, but I have never heard of a mercenary union at that time.
Organizations like this. What’s more, it’s the 19th century now. If you want to purchase violent services, why not entrust a specialized security company, detective agency or illegal underground gang? As for civil violence organizations, they are the most powerful.
professional."
"What's this word!?"
When Alice heard this, she immediately shouted dissatisfied: "The Adventurer's Guild is not a purely profit-making organization like a security company or an underground gang, nor are adventurers like mercenaries or street gangsters who only care about money as potential criminals.
The meaning of their existence is to maintain the stability of civil order and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people, you understand? Everything from finding cats and dogs to big things like saving the world can be left to them. Can mercenaries do it?"
If you give enough money, you can really do it.
Ringer tried to struggle: "Maybe that's the truth, but Cloud Whale Sky Island doesn't have such needs, right? It's already harmonious and stable enough, and there is no need for an additional Adventurer's Guild to... join in the fun."
The young man originally wanted to say "adding trouble", but it would be bad if it irritated Alice's sensitive and fragile nerves, so he changed his words.
Hearing this, Alice raised her eyebrows: "Who said that our Cloud Whale Island has no need in this regard? Ringer, you are really naive and don't understand the sufferings of the world at all. Don't you know that needs are often hidden in
Where can’t you see it with the naked eye?”
This sentence is really ironic coming from your mouth.
Ringer thought, but Alice didn't care what he thought. She glanced at the accomplice beside her, and a sickly beautiful girl with long crystal blue hair smiled and controlled the wheelchair and came to the place next to the bar.
In front of a board, he stretched out his hand and gently took off the cloth covering the board.
There are many pieces of paper stuck on the board, and they are all densely written with words. If I use Alice's professional vocabulary to describe it, this should be called a bulletin board and a commission document.
Lin Ge casually glanced at the entrustment documents on the bulletin board, and saw that the bottom documents clearly said——
[Task name: Picking herbs.]
[Client: Girl M. who wishes to remain anonymous]
[Task Level: Elementary.]
[Task time limit: Normal, the task can be submitted within a week. 】
[Task description: There are several fluorescent mushrooms in the forest south of the sky island that seem to be about to mature, but I have been busy with classes recently and have no time to pick herbs. I hope that kind adventurers can help me keep an eye on the growth of these fluorescent mushrooms.
If it's ripe, pick it for me and bring it to the pharmacy on the second floor of the Fairy Sleep Inn.】
[Task reward: 1g of medicinal powder made of fluorescent mushrooms as the main ingredient. Adding water to brew it can treat insomnia and headaches. However, because I am a beginner, the efficacy of the medicine may be different. If you mind, I can add it to the medicinal powder.
A little tea leaves and sugar, you can drink it as black tea.】
[Task notes: Do not touch the caps of fluorescent mushrooms! There are trace amounts of toxins that will cause paralysis in the touched area!]
Lin Ge was silent for a while and glanced at a pink-haired little girl in the crowd.
The latter quickly shrank his head and hid himself behind Alice, leaving only a bunch of dull pink hair exposed.
Lin Ge withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the next commission.
[Task name: Watering.]
[Client: Girl A. who wishes to remain anonymous]
[Task Level: Elementary.]
[Task time limit: Urgent! It is best to complete it before noon today!]
[Task description: I forgot to water the violets in the small garden again. Will they die of thirst if this continues? But my inspiration has exploded in the past few days, and I just want to stay in the room and write novels.
I don’t want to water them at all, so is there any kind-hearted adventurer who can help me?】
[Task reward: A book of your choice. No matter what content you want to read, I can help you get it. 】
[Task notes: Adventurers with plant care experience and flower cultivation knowledge will be given priority.]
Ringer was silent for a while, and then glanced at a certain Princess Beimang in the crowd: The violet seeds Mrs. Tree left for you were not meant for you to plant like this.
"...Huh?" Oveira stayed for a long time before spitting out a word that represented doubt from her mouth. Her eyes were still a little confused, as if she didn't know what was going on.
Lin Ge reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked at the last commission on the bulletin board.
[Task name: Prayer.]
[Client: Countess N. who wishes to remain anonymous]
[Task level: Advanced.]
[Mission time limit: Unknown, it is best to be on call at any time.]
[Task description: It is already the end of the Flower Moon. The Fenghua constellation is gradually moving towards the Fire constellation. The orbit of the stars is changing all the time. I speculate that the next full moon should not be too long. By then
, my granddaughter will usher in another important moment in her life. Although I am her grandmother, I cannot be with her at this time. I can only find a kind-hearted adventurer to send the requiem on my behalf.
Pray that she will still remember your words before she has memory next time.】
[Task reward: Whatever you want, whatever I have, I can give in return. 】
[Mission notes: I hope that the adventurer’s race should be human, his gender should be male, his age should be around twenty years old, his native place should be Linwell, his occupation should be a priest of the goddess, and his specialty should be the best.
The best thing is to confess and pray for others. Those who can meet all the above requirements can have the task reward doubled.】
