After everything was cleaned up, I returned to the living room. The old man seemed to be waiting for me, "When you're done, come on and I'll take you to your resting place." I came to a small room on the left. Although it was very simple, it was also clean.
"Young man, you can live here, it's quite simple, so you can collect the goods. By the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Lei Jie Na, old man. You can call me uncle. I have never married in my life. Wife, it’s just me.”
"It's pretty good here. Uncle, my name is Changgong Wei. Thank you."
I sat on the bed and chatted with the uncle. I heard him say that this is near the border of the Kingdom of Aisha, and if you go past it, you will reach the Kingdom of Xiuda. The folk customs here are very simple and everyone is very hospitable. After all, it is the border. So there aren't many people here who know magic. He also said that I must be careful if I go to Xiuda Kingdom. There has been some unrest there recently. There are some small groups of bandits at the border with our country. Because it is the junction of the two countries, the issue of territorial sovereignty is relatively sensitive, so it has never been properly resolved.
After hearing what he said, I couldn't help but ask: "So I can't go there now?"
"No, usually we gather a large number of people in our border city of Prima City and hire some mercenaries to go with them. This is much safer."
"Oh, then I'm going to Prima too." Haha, there's such a good thing, I'll also try to be a mercenary, maybe I can earn some pocket money, hehe.
The uncle obviously misunderstood what I meant: "Yes, if you want to go to Xiuda Kingdom, it's better to go there. It's much safer to go with those business groups."
I didn't explain anything. After asking about a small river behind the village, I got up and went to take a bath.
I used the clear river water to wash away the dust and fatigue all over my body. I felt so comfortable. After washing, I felt indescribably refreshed all over my body. I took out a set of clean clothes from the dimensional bag and put them on. I took the clean clothes back to the house. That uncle's house.
I was lying on the bed thinking about today's encounter. Although I said I didn't want a beautiful woman to be my wife in the future, that fairy-like face was always hovering in my mind, and I fell asleep in a daze.
Early in the morning, I finished breakfast with the uncle, said goodbye to the uncle, and followed his instructions to head towards the city of Prima.
Perhaps because merchants from both countries have to pass through here, even though it is a border city, Prima is also very prosperous, with bustling streets and a variety of stores. I asked a passerby about the location of the mercenary union.
The logo of the mercenary union is a diamond coin with a long sword passing through it diagonally. It probably symbolizes that the mercenaries use their skills to win money. I don't know if I can find a job here as a repairman.
Walking into the door of the mercenary union, a large hall appeared in front of me. The hall was surrounded by various counters. In the middle, there were many people dressed in different styles, including warrior attires, magician attires, and even There are also some elves with pointy ears and short but strong dwarves. (Elves and dwarves are both ethnic minorities and are more peace-loving. Elves are natural archers, with keen insight and extraordinary eyesight. , can learn any natural magic. Dwarves are representatives of powerful warriors and have excellent craftsmanship. Many advanced weapons are forged by them.)
I came to a front desk-like counter and asked the lady behind the counter, "Excuse me, how can I accept mercenary missions here?"
The service lady took one look at me and saw that I was just dressed as an ordinary person. She was obviously not very enthusiastic and said lazily: "First go to the left to get the form, apply to become a mercenary, and then get the mercenary's mission card, and then go to the right to pick up the form. Task."
"Oh, thank you." I responded and got the form, which contained nothing more than name, occupation, ability level, etc. In the ability column, I filled in the name "Great Mage." When I handed the form to the service lady in charge of registration, she said in surprise: "Are you a great magician?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Of course I didn't know how rare a great magician was, having studied at the Royal Academy of Magic for a long time.
"Do you have a certificate from the Magic Guild?"
"Of course." I took out the Magic Guild's ability card from my arms. (The magician's abilities and experience will be recorded in the magic card through confirmation by the magic union. Each magician has only one magic card of his own)
The waitress couldn't wait to authenticate it, and she murmured: "Longgong Wei, graduated from the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy, the top graduate. Because of his excellent performance in the academy, he was exempted from the exam and awarded the title of Great Magician." Title. Wow, are you a great magician who graduated from the Royal Academy of Magic?"
Because her voice was relatively loud, everyone present heard her, and I became the focus of everyone's attention. It makes me a little embarrassed.
"Yeah, what's wrong, can I be a mercenary?"
She was stunned for a moment and then said quickly: "Yes, of course. Since you are a great magician, you can directly become a C-level mercenary and can take on any tasks you think can be completed."
"C-level mercenaries, are there different levels of mercenaries?" I asked doubtfully.
She smiled, probably because of my ignorance, "Of course, mercenaries are divided into S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G from high to low. The tasks they undertake are also graded in this way. The level will be promoted based on the difficulty and quantity of completed tasks.”
"Oh, that's right, thank you." Taking the mercenary card she handed over, I went to the counter on the right to check if there was any mission to Xiuda. Being a mercenary is quite fun.
The service staff at the counter on the right knew that I was a great magician and was very friendly to me. Seeing me approaching, he proactively asked: "What level of mission do you want to take on?"
"It doesn't matter what level you are. Do you want to go to Xiuda Kingdom? I want to travel there, so I can do it on the way."
"Wait a moment, I'll check it for you."
When she was searching, I saw that the first task on the task card turned out to be the task assigned to me by Teacher Di. Obtain the weapon once used by the God of Creation - the Holy Sword. The level is SSS, three S. It can be seen that The difficulty is very high, and the price is also very high. It actually costs 1 million diamond coins, which is probably about the same as my national tax for one year.
