Half-elf Notebook

It was not even ten o'clock yet, and someone had already poured a glass of not-so-light beer into his stomach.

I really don't know if he's here to drink or to take on a commission...

Ina sighed secretly and immediately glanced around the guild hall.

Perhaps because the hunting season was over here, there were fewer people in the guild, probably only a quarter of the number when she last came.

This was normal, and even Ina didn't feel surprised at all.

Although she had never visited other cities, she still knew some common sense about the kingdoms.

Except for licensed hunters who have official documents issued by the financial authorities and pay full fees and taxes every year.

Most hunters and adventurers will actively look for new hunting commissions and chase other wild beasts and monsters that can be hunted.

The start and end times of the hunting period vary from region to region.

North of the city, on the northern border, summer may just be beginning.

In the southern provinces, it may be the harvest season of autumn.

Compared to the bounty for a Kingdom criminal that is as thick as a book but has not yielded any clues all year round, this is a dangerous subjugation commission.

It is obviously much wiser to go to another city and do your original job again.

Ina also saw Miss Helya sitting at an independent reception desk, and two armored warriors with swords who served as guards beside her.

One of them stood beside, the other one meter away, sometimes leaning on the front desk, sometimes patrolling back and forth.

Unlike other thugs who maintain order, they are more focused on ensuring Helia's personal safety.

The man on the periphery took a look at Ina who had just come in, and seemed to be able to sense the strength of the newcomer.

His expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of horror.

Even when he saw the exquisite flame-shaped hairpin, he intentionally straightened his body a little towards Ina.

The first reaction was a slight wariness, and that was based on the premise that I had a very powerful magic item...

It seems that they have prepared corresponding magic props or magic scrolls to protect guild members. Their rank is at least two levels higher than mine, which is scary.

Ina thought with sweat in her heart.

Helia herself was talking to another man.

The servants following behind him had dots of light flickering unintentionally under their coats.

The white-haired girl judged that he was a businessman who came to entrust business, or a wealthy person from the upper class.

Ina didn't see Uncle Shuxi, which was within her expectations.

I don’t think that Meila’s matter can be resolved in two or three steps.

As a president who has the ability to take on the commission, Shu Xi will definitely be busy for some time.

Even if not, he would not be able to do the work of contacting business due to his lazy personality.

Ina found an empty seat and sat down and waited for Helya to finish her work.

Just then, a strange man sat down opposite her in a very familiar manner.

With a bright smile, he said:

"Hi, Miss Half-elf, are you interested in finding a job with a good income?"

He seemed to be trying his best to appear kind, but his cheekbones were unnaturally high and there was a scar running down his cheek.

But it makes him almost have nothing to do with this word.

He doesn't look like an ordinary client, but more like a villain who seized the opportunity to do illegal things.

Recently, I seem to be approached by strangers all the time... Could it be that I am actually a very popular woman...

Ina thought with amusement.

"I am currently only interested in official commissions within the guild."

Ina clenched her hands, placed them on the table, looked at the other person's face, and refused.

Hearing the answer, the man was stunned for a few seconds, then he seemed to realize something and laughed:

"You misunderstood, Miss Half-elf. If someone really wanted to see them, they wouldn't have to come to this place filled with sweat and strong men."

"Making trouble here is different from other places. It's not a joke."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Wenning Delson, a member of the Golden Vulture Mercenary Group. I'm in charge of the temporary recruitment of mercenaries for this city."

"Of course, this is a formal contract work. We also have a commission notice in the guild. If you are worried, you might as well go and take a look."

"As for the reason why I came... because if I explain it in person, maybe you will be more likely to join us."

"Why did you choose me?"

Ina looked around and asked with obvious meaning:

"There are quite a few experienced and senior fighters here."

"There is nothing wrong with your point of view. We are also looking forward to their joining. However, it is rare to find someone who can make the vice president of the guild look so cautious."

That warrior who looks like a guard... is the vice president of the guild? His rank is quite different from Uncle Shu Xi's...

Ina deliberately looked confused and repeated what she was thinking:

"The vice president of the guild?"

"Nice fake expression, but the ability to make up stories is still a little immature, just like his age."

Weining silently commented on Ina and answered the girl's question:

"That's the armored warrior walking in the foreground. He's an upper bronze-ranked adventurer."

He did not make the tactless choice to expose Ina.

For him, the purpose of dialogue is to gain the other party's trust, not to debate about right and wrong.

He doesn't mind speaking in a tactful way if it makes the other person feel good about themselves and furthers his purpose.

"Salary is eight gold coins and fifteen silver coins per half year. If you have any achievements, you will be given extra bonuses according to your contribution. You must let me know thirty days in advance when you quit. You cannot refuse to fight."

"There will be experienced mercenaries on the mission, so we won't let the newbies get killed."

"The mission objectives have been weighed in advance, and your strength is among the best in the group. As long as you think about how to survive, your life will basically not be in danger."

"Or you can choose to be employed as a logistics person, with the main job being scroll production."

"I can produce and provide fourth-level magic scrolls as required. The salary is fifty gold coins for half a year. This is the hiring fee. The magic scrolls themselves will be purchased by the Corps at the black market price."

"If you want to make extra money, the Corps will also help sell it on the black market and charge a 10% brokerage fee."

"Provide a third-level magic scroll, and the salary is ten gold coins for half a year. Everything else remains the same, but the two do not need to participate in the battle, nor do they share in the spoils."

To show his sincerity, Weining took the lead in offering clear treatment.

"I'll think about it." Ina replied perfunctorily.

She had never considered joining in the first place, so she could ask about the income of a relevant level of profession.

This conversation was beneficial to her.

"I will be looking for mercenaries in the guild in the next two days. I look forward to your reply."

Weining understood what Ina meant and stood up and left, unable to hide his disappointment.

At this moment, the relatively lively guild suddenly became extremely noisy.

Many adventurers who were considering jobs once again crowded in front of the bulletin board, as if there was something worth paying attention to.

"A new commission?"

Ina speculated curiously.

The guild's commission bounty is not released all at once.

As long as someone entrusts you, the guild will post a notice.
