Chapter 25 Guild Tasks
Mu Yun still remembers that the Mercenary Guild is not far from the South Gate, and it seems that it is convenient for the mercenaries to enter and exit the city to do tasks.
The mornings on weekends seem much quieter than usual. People who have worked for a week are still immersed in their dreams after experiencing the relaxation last night. Only workers who get up early are eating breakfast and chatting, and small vendors who also get up early to sell breakfast are shouting.
Mu Yun came to the mercenary guild building with a shield sign engraved on the sign with a sign of guns and swords in front of the cross-section. It was much more lively than other places. From time to time, warriors carrying big swords or hunters with long bows on cross-body were in and out. Some were happy and some were frowning.
When entering the hall, it seemed even more lively. The taskbars around the hall were full of people. Those who had already picked up the tasks took the paper and went to the counter in the center of the hall to confirm, and then invited a few companions to go out together.
Mu Yun walked to the counter and asked a woman sitting behind the counter, "Hello, I want to register a mercenary."
The woman behind the counter looked up at Mu Yun, and found Mu Yun's childish face and said in surprise: "Do you want to apply to be a mercenary? Take the liberty to ask if you are old enough?"
Before Mu Yun could speak, a bald man next to him happened to come to take on the task. When he saw the conversation between the two, he looked at Mu Yun and laughed, "Where did the little kid come from and want to be a mercenary. I think you are not weaned yet, hahahaha."
When others heard this, they turned their heads to look at Mu Yun. Many people laughed out loud after seeing him, and some were making excuses.
"Hey, do you want to hire me to kill the monsters for you? As long as you pay, it's fine, but you don't look like a rich person in your clothes, hahaha."
"That's right, that's right, you won't be scared to pee your pants when you meet a monster."
Mocking and teasing sounded from time to time. Mu Yun ignored these voices and looked at the woman behind the counter and said, "Yes, I want to apply to be a mercenary. I am already twelve years old this year."
Before the woman could speak, the bald man next to her laughed again, "I heard it right, little brat, don't you know if you want to be a mercenary until you are fifteen years old? Have you never learned how to calculate?" The other mercenaries next to her laughed louder after hearing this.
The woman behind the counter also showed a feeling of indulgence. Just as she was about to speak, Mu Yun continued, "I am an awakened person, I think I should be qualified to apply."
Mu Yun, who had talked to Ike, knew that only after registering as a mercenary can you receive tasks in the Mercenary Guild, and you must reach fifteen years old before applying. If you are an awakened person, you can reach twelve years old in advance. This is also a kind of protection and restriction. Otherwise, anyone will apply, which will not only cause chaos, but will also cause trouble, affecting the normal operation of the guild.
Of course, if you go to a tavern and other places to take on tasks, it doesn’t matter your age. As long as you can complete it, you can’t worry about the same life and death.
Hearing Mu Yun's words, the laughter in the hall seemed to be a duck that had been strangled to death, and everyone's smiles froze on their faces, and some people said in disappointment, "Tsk, it turns out they are awakened people. No wonder they dare to be mercenaries at such a young age."
"What's so great about the awakened one? It may not be as good as me at this young age."
The bald man looked at Mu Yun in a daze, then snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's not fake."
The woman behind the counter also showed a surprised expression. She woke up when she heard the bald man's words. She took out a spell instrument from under the counter and handed it to Mu Yun, "This is a detector. Put your hand on it and enter your source power, so that you can prove your identity as an awakened person."
Mu Yun looked at the semicircular crystal ball utensil handed over by the woman. Through the glass outside, you could see something like water flowing inside. He covered his right hand and activated the source force in his body to flow to his right hand. The others in the hall also stared at the crystal ball with concentration.
With the injected source power, the crystal ball gradually lit up. The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She took out an instrument again and shone it on Mu Yun. The green light on the spell light on it confirmed that Mu Yun's age was also qualified. So she smiled and took out a form and handed it to Mu Yun, "This is the registration form. You fill in your basic information and then pay the registration fee of ten copper crystal coins to become a mercenary."
The others looked at the results of Mu Yun's test and said nothing more. They turned around and looked for the task again. The bald man glared at Mu Yun with a gloomy face. He stopped talking and ran to another staff member to hand in the task.
After Mu Yun filled in the information, he handed it back to the woman. The woman looked carefully, then took out an iron badge and handed it to Mu Yun with a smile, "This is your identity badge. As long as you drop a drop of blood in the middle groove, this badge belongs to you. With this badge, you can prove your identity. The tasks you can accept cannot exceed the level of the badge level. Currently, there will be a maximum of two. There will be a penalty if you exceed the deadline specified by the task. If you complete enough tasks, you can return to the Mercenary Guild to upgrade the badge and enjoy more rights. Congratulations now, you are a mercenary."
"Thank you." Mu Yun also nodded with a smile, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the groove in the center of the badge. After absorbing the blood, the badge lit up slightly and then dimmed again. Mu Yun looked at the badge curiously, then put it in his arms and walked towards the one-star mission area.
People who saw the scene just now subconsciously gave way to him. Although they looked very small, they didn’t know how many levels of awakened people he was. However, they were asking for this food. There was no need to offend people, otherwise they would easily cause trouble when they encountered it in the wild. If they knew that Mu Yun was just an awakened person, he could beat him if he could just pull anyone out here. He didn’t know what they would think. Of course, if Mu Yun used runes, he would still have the power to resist.
I stood in front of the bulletin board of the one-star mission area. Compared with the college’s bulletin board, the bulletin board here is much larger and much more. There are at least hundreds of tasks at one glance. However, after Mu Yun browsed carefully, he found that some of them were going to other cities and even other kingdoms.
After removing those cross-border tasks, Mu Yun narrowed the scope and soon found a lot of nearby tasks, several of which were to go to Lingjiu Valley.
Mu Yun chose a task to collect star dew flowers in the outer valley, requiring him to collect at least fifty plants and reward him with a silver crystal coin. The task is not difficult, just try it out, and a silver crystal coin will be enough for at least next week.
After the selection, Mu Yun looked at another strange task - "Investigate the abnormalities in Lingjiu Valley". As long as you report back to the guild after investigation, confirm that it is useful and unrepeated information, you will be rewarded with five silver coins for each item. If it is important information, the reward will be even richer. The time limit is until the guild cancels the task. This task greatly aroused Mu Yun's interest.
I didn’t say whether I needed to enter the valley, so I just forgot it around the valley?
Mu Yun thought for a while and confirmed that there would be no danger as long as he did not enter the depths of the valley. So he took it, remembered the numbers of the two tasks, and walked back to the counter to hand over the task to confirm with the previous woman.
After the woman finished registering, she smiled and said to Mu Yun again: "The registration has been completed. I hope your first mission can be completed smoothly."
Mu Yun thanked him and left the guild under the gaze of the woman and everyone.
After Mu Yun left, someone came to the woman and asked quietly, "Hey, beautiful girl, what task is that kid taking? Can you disclose it?"
The woman also looked at the man with a smile, "Sorry, the guild stipulates that no information about other mercenaries can be disclosed. If you are interested, you can ask me."
"Tsk." The man stopped talking about what he wanted, and turned around and left.
After leaving the guild, Mu Yun went to the blacksmith shop to buy a knife with ten copper crystal coins. After spending twenty copper crystal coins to buy a map, he called a carriage to Wada Town and got on the way.
Thinking that there were less than thirty copper crystal coins left in his wallet, Mu Yun sighed. If he didn't complete the task this time, he would have a problem even having dinner next week.
Lingjiu Valley is located north of the Royal City of Bonia. There is also Wada Town to rest in the middle. There is a road that can lead directly to the valley. On the horse-drawn carriage, Mu Yun was looking at the surrounding scenery while checking the map near Lingjiu Valley.
"So Lingjiu Valley is so big." Mu Yun looked at the map and lowered his head to himself.
Not far north of Vadal is the Vulture Valley, which lies between the Seth Empire and the Kingdom of Bonia. A huge and long crack in the middle forms a natural barrier between the two countries. Under the crack, there is an underground river. You can enter the sea of fog when you go east. At the end of the west, it extends into the territory of the Borton Kingdom. The mountains in the middle are called the Vulture Valley.
As its name suggests, Lingjiu Valley is famous for Lingjiu. This is a wind-like group monster. Although most of them are only about the third level, because of their huge number, ordinary people dare not provoke it. Fortunately, Lingjiu is quite gentle in nature, and as long as you don’t provoke it, there will be no trouble.
The fur of the spirit violin is the best raw material for clothes, and the magic core in the body is also needed by the wind-type mage, so many mercenary groups will take on the task of hunting the spirit violin.
It was almost noon when the carriage arrived at Wada Town and got off the carriage. Mu Yun looked at the endless crowds of people in the town, many merchants and many mercenaries dressed in transactions, and groups of people gathered together to discuss something. It seemed that the resources in Lingjiu Valley were relatively rich, and this town was much more lively than the town where they passed by at that time. Mu Yun couldn't help but think.
