"Junior mercenary badge." Chino, who unconsciously said it, quickly covered his mouth and glanced at Xi Wei. Fortunately, the protagonist seemed to be thinking and didn't notice the little abnormality.
The mercenary badges are very recognizable. The primary level is gold, the intermediate level is silver, and the advanced level is purple. The pattern is the same as two crossed swords.
Naturally, this badge could not be something that Xiao Wu, a ten-year-old girl, could have thought of and obtained. It seemed that Xiron had given it to her.
The Mercenary Union is the largest union in the Red Moon Continent. It is a free organization. Anyone can join as long as they want. Of course, they need to pay a commission of gold coins.
Xi Wei often heard about this union, and he often passed by Ye Sacheng's branch, but the threshold of one gold coin would shut out homeless people like Xi Wei.
If you can become a mercenary, it is equivalent to having half a job. At the very least, you don't need to worry about being hungry every day. This is indeed a very exciting choice.
But why did Sheron help them like this? Is there really good intentions for no reason in this world
Xi Wei hesitated, wondering if he should trust that weird man.
Chino really hopes that the protagonist can accept it, becoming a mercenary can get out of the current situation, they can rely on labor in exchange for food, and they don't have to go to the garbage can to beg for a living.
The Mercenary Guild has a variety of tasks, ranging from finding missing cats to challenging dragons, there is always one that suits you.
Xi Wei took the box and walked out of the cabin. If he wanted to, as long as he let go, the not-so-sophisticated junior badge would fall into the water, splashing a small wave, and it could be regarded as not happening. Pass.
Kino followed him out of the way, pulling the protagonist's trouser leg with one hand, trying to pull the protagonist back.
The little bit of strength on his leg was really insignificant, but it managed to make Xi Wei stop. He lowered his head to look at the bright little bit with a sweet smile, the little bit still had sugar in his mouth, and his mouth was wriggling. The head is still habitually tilted.
Xi Wei couldn't let go of his fingers, and finally, as if he had compromised, he put away the badge, folded the little head, picked it up, and walked out.
The mercenary trade union was very lively with people coming and going. Most of the people here were rough, and their clothes were not gorgeous, but it was enough to make all the refugees and beggars jealous.
Xi Wei stood quietly not far from the gate of the mercenary union, reluctant to take a step. For humans, this is only a few steps away, but for Xi Wei, this is another kind of distance. In life, no matter how precocious children are, they will feel uneasy and fearful about this. This is human nature.
The protagonist has not yet cultivated to the state where all poisons do not invade all things and do not haunt the mind. It is normal to hesitate and hesitate. Chino even feels relieved about this. Although the protagonist who is cold to the end is also very cute, it is obvious that the current protagonist is better. Getting along and getting closer, Chino wanted Xiwei to live as a human being, not to be alone as a god.
From where they stand, you can roughly see the hall of the mercenary union. There are several tables like bank counters distributed in three directions. There are many tables in the center of the hall. The samurai, and occasionally a few burly women, were discussing something enthusiastically.
Chino tugged at Xiwei's collar, making Xiwei recover from his thoughts.
In the end, Xi Wei still lifted his foot and walked towards the bright and beautiful door that was incompatible with their tatters.
"Charles, when are you going to hand in your task list?" The hot Nami slapped the table in front of the bearded man Charles, making Charles half sober.
Charles smiled and rubbed his hands together to bargain, "Oh, lovely Nami, you are more beautiful today than yesterday, as for the damn task list, can you help me write it, oh no, can you make me two late? God's hand?"
A smile appeared on Nami's gorgeous face, and before Charles could be happy, he was kicked to the ground by the beauty's seemingly slender legs, and the stool he was sitting on also overturned, "Charles, I warn you, your task list has been delayed. It’s been a week, and if you don’t pay it, you’ll be waiting for your contribution points to be deducted.”
Charles's wine suddenly woke up, and there was a scream in his mouth, "Wait, wait, I will pay tomorrow, I will pay tomorrow!"
A burst of laughter broke out in the hall, obviously this is not the first time this has happened.
Nami snorted and clapped her hands back to one of the counters and sat down.
Not long after sitting down, a dirty little hand held up a golden badge in front of Nami, then placed it lightly on the table before shrinking back.
Nami was stunned for a moment, but there was no one in front of her. The baffle plate in front of the counter of the Mercenary Union was very high, about to reach the chest of an ordinary adult man. She stood up and saw a teenage child standing outside the counter. , He was dressed in tatters, and his body was very thin. His short black hair covered his eyes, so he couldn't see his face clearly. It was surprising that such a thin child was still holding a small child in his hand.
This little one is even more funny. He looks cute and likable, but there is not a single hair on the top of his head, and he is wearing a half-length dress with only the top left.
Nami paused for a moment before she remembered her responsibilities and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xi Wei's answer was very brief, "Come to be a mercenary."
Nami's gorgeous face became a little more tangled. She hesitantly picked up the badge on the counter and glanced at it, as if it was real, she sat down again and started registering the information, "No. 1008610010, what's it called?"
The little beggar bowed his head, what was his name, what was his name? The name has been forgotten for too long, and after finally finding those two words from the depths of my memory, Xi Wei said with rare hesitation, "Xi Wei."
Nami couldn't see his expression through the counter panel. After writing down the name, she praised, "Xiwei, it's the name of the elf tree. It's a really good name. Can you write? Come and sign it."
Xi Wei shook his head, then remembered that the woman behind the counter couldn't see, and said, "I can't write."
Nami was obviously not surprised by this answer, nodded and stood up again and handed Xi Wei a registration form, pointed to the lower right corner and said, "Just press a fingerprint."
Xi Wei did not move for a while.
Nami urged, "Hurry up, I'm very busy,"
The little beggar gritted his teeth and stared at the thin piece of paper, as if it was not a registration form, but a deed of prostitution.
Xi Wei even had an urge to flee immediately, but the hunger in his stomach and the "burden" in his arms stopped him. Xi Wei adjusted the posture of holding the child in his arms, bit his finger, and slammed it there. Zhang Xuebai pressed on the registration paper.
Nami, who was holding the ink pad in her hand, was stunned again.
It wasn't until she took over the unusual registration form that Nami couldn't get back to her senses. She stared at Xi Wei for a while before she put the registration form away.
"and many more."
Nami turned her head, gathered her long, wavy hair that was brown, and gave Xi Wei a wink, "Is there anything else, little handsome guy?"
Her actions were purely sarcastic, and she didn't mean to seduce or flirt. Xi Wei could feel it, so she just said bluntly, "Mission."
Nami said in surprise, "You're going to take the quest just after registering?"
Xi Wei didn't answer, and Kino repeated it for him, "Mission."
The serious look of the little one made Nami giggled while covering her mouth, and began to rummage for tasks.
Chino was actually a little nervous. Originally, according to the story of "The Curse", Xi Wei should be able to replace another person's identity to enter the mercenary guild by chance when he was sixteen years old. It changed unexpectedly.
So he didn't know how much impact such a change would have.
In a certain way, it is a good thing. If Xi Wei's life trajectory changes from now on, then the future development is not impossible to change.
All kinds of reliable and unreliable plans were running in Kino's mind, and when he thought of the excitement, he couldn't help clenching his small fist.
While Nami was flipping through the missions, Charles approached Xi Wei, "Hey, new here? Are you interested in joining our Wind Wolf Mercenary Group?"
Before Xi Wei could answer, a folder slammed onto Charles' head, Charles hugged his head and begged for mercy, "Oh, dear Nami, can you be gentle, the head of the regiment said that I'm getting stupider. ."
Nami put her hands on her hips, "I'll let you hand in the task list now."
When Charles heard the task list, he immediately froze, and made a gesture of pulling his mouth.
Na Mei gave him a white look, then bent down and picked up the folder and handed it to Xi Wei, "Little handsome guy, I think you are too young to take on adventurous missions, here is a long-term mission, bathing a cat every week, the cat's The master's eyes are not very convenient, so you need to hire someone to do it, can you take it?"
Xi Wei nodded silently. For him, he didn't have many choices, not to mention, it's not too difficult to bathe the cat, isn't it
Seeing that he agreed, Nami handed him another note, "Little handsome guy, you don't know how to read, I'll tell you the address first, the employer lives at No. 72 Louvre Street, and the address is written on the note. If you don't have time, take a note and ask someone for directions."
Xi Wei looked at this charming woman with icy eyes, and finally took the note, and then asked firmly, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Nami said in surprise, "What to do? I don't need you to do anything, you just need to complete the task well, by the way, remember to hand in the task form." After that, she patted Xi Wei on the shoulder.
Xi Wei's body was stiff, and the moment the woman patted him on the shoulder, he couldn't dodge at all.
When Xi Wei left, Charles leaned forward again with a shy face, "Nami, what's so special about this kid that deserves your care?"
Nami sneered, "Is the badge that Mr. Xiron applied for him personally, is it special enough? Don't make fun of him, he is not something we can provoke."
Charles suddenly realized that, scratching his hair, thankful he didn't go crazy just now.
Besides, Xi Wei, after leaving the Mercenary Union, went straight to Luofu Street. Luofu Street was close to the water, and there was only a row of houses by the river. The environment here was clean and tidy, which was very different from the rental house Xiwei lived in when he was a child.
No. 72 is actually very easy to find. Even if Xi Wei is illiterate, it is not difficult to find the handwriting on the note, just look at the house number one by one.
The employer lived in a small courtyard, very quiet, not like a place that Ye Sacheng would have.
Xi Wei stood at the door and carefully confirmed that the address was correct before raising his hand and knocking on the door.
The door opened a little slowly, and it took a long time for the boy's voice to come, "Are you here to bathe the cat?"
Xi Wei lowered his head and lowered his voice, "Yes sir, the mercenary union received a mission."
The door squeaked open.
A shy boy stood inside the door, but his eyes were blank and out of focus.
He said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, my eyes are not very convenient and I walk slowly."
Of course Xi Wei wouldn't care if the boy was deliberately making things difficult, even if it was, it was really trivial to make things difficult.
The boy quickly led them into the house, and Kino looked around, but he didn't see the precious cat, and he didn't know where it was.
The teenager held a walking stick in his hand and poked it on the ground, gropingly sat down on the chair, and then said embarrassedly, "Kaka ran out to play, I'll be back in a while, you sit down for a while. "
Xi Wei nodded and put Chino on the ground. Chino looked at the dazed eyes of the young man, and thought that he would not go blind one day. Even if the protagonist was there, the blindness would definitely be cured. But even for a short time it wasn't a pleasant experience.
Then he took a few steps in place while covering his right eye, and as expected, he hit the leg of the table because he lost his sense of direction.
The boy looked surprised, "Can't you see it?"
