Chapter 28 An Unequal Commission (Please continue reading)

The Mercenary Guild—Celia hadn't expected to come to this place to accept a commission.

For the same incident, the school and the Holy Court offered much higher rewards than the Mercenary Guild. This was one reason, and another was that the Mercenary Guild's commissions were mostly worthless.

For example, helping an elderly woman find her cat, helping an elderly man find his lost bracelet, or helping a young couple resolve their conflict...

These tedious daily tasks take up most of the mercenary guild's task list.

Currently, although the four great empires are eyeing the Holy Court covetously, and the Holy Court is also eager to reclaim the territories of the four great empires, there has been no large-scale conflict yet. Heretics occasionally make moves, but not many, and the situation is relatively peaceful.

There were no earth-shattering events like beast tides, so most of the mercenary guild's commissions were mundane, such as acting as a bodyguard for merchants or transporting goods.

"Shining City is the center of the Holy Court, and there are relatively few quests issued here related to monsters..."

After looking at the request for a long time, Celia finally gave up and chose to find the Mercenary Guild's receptionist instead.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Jessica, the mercenary guild's receptionist, greeted him politely as always.

The girl in front of her was dressed in a simple mage's robe. The large robe covered her figure, but her face was fair and pure. Even Jessica, a woman, was attracted by her appearance.

What a beautiful girl! Is she a student at the academy?

"Hello, Miss Jessica, I'm looking for some commissions."

Celia showed off the adventure badge issued by the Holy Magic Academy. This badge is an acknowledgment of a student's ability to complete commissions independently. With this badge, one can accept commissions at the school, the Holy Court, and the Mercenary Guild. The Mercenary Guild also recognizes this badge.

What kind of commission do you need?

Upon seeing that they were indeed students from the Holy Magic Academy, Jessica's smile widened even more.

"Any request that fits the criteria of a first or second-tier mage is fine," Celia said.

What he really meant was that Jessica should block out all the routine commissions from her and show her the valuable and challenging ones instead.

The Mercenary Guild is not only open to mages; ordinary people can also become mercenaries.

Otherwise, why would a mage accept so many daily quests?

Originally, Celia only wanted to say that it should be a mission that fits the requirements of a first-tier mage.

But Ross demanded that she add another rank.

Celia lacked confidence in facing second-tier monsters, but he did.

Even a mighty evil god, despite having many limitations, and even the fact that magic can only be cast through another person's body, shouldn't be unable to challenge opponents of higher levels.

"Don't worry, I can take care of even a third-tier magical beast, let alone a second-tier one, with this magical puppet."

These are Rose's exact words.

In the dark and sunless sealed land, Ross did nothing but grind data and use magic to create all sorts of random things in order to fully understand his own strength.

After cultivating for so long, even the clay figures and puppets he casually sculpts possess the combat power of a lower-level god.

Ross believed that even without Celia appearing, he could break the incredibly strong seal once he continued to improve.

However, this process will be very long.

Can't wait any longer.

Especially when I see this colorful world.

"First- to second-tier commissions received, please wait a moment... Okay, I've listed them for you, please take a look."

As she spoke, Jessica casually added, "Miss Celia, we suggest you also register a mercenary identity with the Mercenary Guild. Having a mercenary identity can reduce your commission rate by 10%!"

"Also, from now on, when you accept commissions with our Mercenary Guild, you won't need to come to the guild headquarters and use spell rings like other mercenaries. You can accept commissions directly on our Protoss Network." Celia, who hadn't originally intended to register as a mercenary, paused for a moment. "Then help me register."

The 10% commission reduction makes no difference to Celia; if it's about making money, it's better to take on commissions from the school and the Holy Court.

However, the ability to browse commissions on the bracelet anytime, anywhere was somewhat appealing to her.

Who knows what injustices might arise in the future? First, browse the Mercenary Guild's Protoss Network to see if there are any relevant commissions. Then, accept the commission and resolve the injustices directly, killing two birds with one stone.

For example, if you encounter a monster in the wild that you don't need, you can take on a quest while you're at it!

Mercenary registration is quick; all you need to do is fill in your name, rank, and the number of your school adventure badge.

After spending a few minutes registering, Celia carefully searched for requests that matched those of first or second-tier mages.

These commissions are no longer limited to the City of Ember.

"It seems like there's a bit too much..."

Celia muttered something to herself.

"No need to look anymore, there are no suspicious requests." Ross's voice echoed in his mind.

"Huh?" Celia looked disappointed.

Jessica noticed her expression, and suddenly realized something. She smiled and said, "Miss Celia, are you looking to take on some challenging assignments?"

She noticed that Celia was registered as a first-tier mage, but was looking at second-tier content, indicating that she looked down on ordinary commissions.

Who knows, they might not care about the commission at all.

"There are a few quests that, for various reasons, have gone unaccepted and have been hidden by the guild. Would you be interested in taking a look?"

"Bring it up quickly." Celia looked interested.

All the commissions on the magical light screen in front of them disappeared, leaving only five.

"For some reason, no mercenaries are willing to accept these five requests. You can take a look. Would you like me to explain the details of these requests to you?"

Jessica is very enthusiastic, and she will receive a substantial reward if these difficult cases are resolved in her hands.

"The third one, the one called 'Help investigate the village's water source problem,' has been accepted."

Ross's voice rang out, and Celia didn't hesitate, pointing to the third request, "This one, help investigate the village's water source problem."

Jessica clicked on the request, frowned slightly, but quickly smiled again. "This request was hidden because the reward is too low, but the danger level may reach level two. Are you sure you want to accept this request?"

Celia glanced at the reward for the commission.

That doesn't seem low either, with 10 gold...silver coins?
The danger level is level two, and the reward is only 10 silver coins?

No wonder no one answered.

"Is this fee for the commission correct?" Celia asked, somewhat incredulous.

A commission that requires a first-tier mage to complete might be cheap, but it shouldn't cost only 10 silver coins.

Not to mention that this is a second-order danger level.

Ross smiled when he saw the reward.

"This client is a bit stingy."

How to describe the cost-effectiveness of this commission... it's like you created gold, but only received the price for gold plating.
