"Patrol the grasslands surrounding Mil Village to check for any signs of monsters."

Mil village is not far from Valkam; a half-day round trip is sufficient.

Anno looked at the commission in his hand and began the evaluation.

"In terms of combat, the monsters nearby are mostly low-level slimes, so there's not much danger."

This patrol mission can be considered an entry-level mission, which professionals of levels 0 to 5 can easily handle.

Considering the quest itself doesn't require adventurers to fight, the reward is only 80 copper coins per day, how about that?

Having nothing to do these past few days, Anno has been organizing all the intelligence on Valkam and the surrounding area.

He was very familiar with the situation in Mir village.

To put it simply, the viscount was worried that some monsters had sneaked up to the vicinity of Mir Village, so he sent people to keep an eye on them.

Mil Village is only five kilometers away from Val'kam. If the monsters reach Mil Village, Val'kam should go into a state of war preparedness.

However, the Viscount himself felt that the possibility of monsters attacking Mill Village was very small, but it was something that someone had to do, even if it meant wasting manpower.

Otherwise, if the monsters really attack, it could cause a lot of unnecessary casualties.

Previously, the viscount would send guards to investigate.

But this is a long-term task, and the number of guards under the Viscount's command is somewhat insufficient.

The viscount once commissioned a mercenary group.

The mercenary group demanded 2 silver coins a day, citing the possibility of encountering monsters and the great danger.

Moreover, it's now up to 5 silver coins a day!

The reason given is that there is a ten-person team doing the task, so the price has to be increased.

But this kind of commission doesn't require that many people.

Finally, the viscount withdrew the commission and ordered the guards of each village and town to send people to patrol.

A small town typically has only ten guards, who need to maintain order and take turns on duty, so the manpower is already insufficient.

Now there's an additional patrol task, which both increases the guards' workload and reduces their training time.

If it weren't for the fact that Viscount Renault was truly a good lord who cared about the residents of his territory, the guards would have complained long ago.

"80 copper coins a day?"

Laura covered her mouth in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

She didn't think it was too much; she felt it was too little.

"At such a low price, would anyone even bother to do it?"

The minimum reward a mercenary group demands is 2 silver coins.

The maximum reward is 5 silver coins, which is more than six times higher than the reward requested by Anno!

Anno chuckled and said, "The area around Mil Village is all grassland, with no terrain to hide in, so the possibility of monsters attacking from there is too small."

If the inspection is simply an additional layer of protection, the risk is extremely low.

If adventurers refrain from attacking the slime, there is no danger whatsoever. They can simply walk around the grassland and observe for a day to complete the mission.

80 copper coins is more than enough!

In Val'kam, an average person is lucky to earn 30 copper a day, and even a small shop might only make 50 copper a day.

80 copper!

If the idle low-level professionals in the city knew about this, there would definitely be someone willing to take on the task.

"But will the adventurers you speak of actually take their missions seriously?"

This is what worries Laura and the Viscount.

If the adventurers who accepted the commission were uncooperative, Laura would rather have the guards patrol the area.

After all, according to Anno, anyone who is a professional can apply to become an adventurer.

The Adventurers' Guild and the adventurers are not in a subordinate relationship.

If the adventurers' laziness leads to unpredictable consequences...

Anno's crime is much greater.

"Regarding this, we will make certain requests of adventurers on some commissions."

Those who do not meet the requirements are not qualified to accept commissions!

For example, for quests in Mil Village, unless the person is trustworthy, we require adventurers accepting the quest to have at least five basic quest experiences and not have received any negative reviews from the employer. Malicious negative reviews don't count!

Anno took out several task lists and explained to Laura, "Basic tasks are those without any danger, and your tasks are almost all similar to those in Mil Village."

He sighed and continued, "You still don't understand what I told you this morning: don't limit your assigned tasks to combat and patrols."

You can take on commissions such as cleaning sewers with slimes, providing information on wanted criminals in the city, searching for ores or other materials, and you can also post tasks like reinforcing city walls, delivering messages, and finding lost cats and dogs.

"If Your Excellency is willing to pay the price, you can even issue an epic quest to assassinate the Demon King!"

Tasks like cleaning up slimes in the sewers were one thing, but Laura never imagined that finding a cat could be a commission!

And what did Anno say at the end?

Assassinate the Demon King!

Good heavens! That's the Demon King who led an army of demons and crushed three major human nations!

If it weren't for the combined resistance of the elves, dwarves, and orcs from the Order faction against the Demon King, Un'goromros would have been unified by him long ago!

How could Anno be so confident as to utter the words "assassinate the Demon King"?

Anno smiled as he read Laura's words.

"I didn't say I could assassinate the Demon King; I said the mission was to assassinate the Demon King!"

As long as the Adventurers' Guild continues to grow, there will inevitably be some extremely powerful adventurers.

Perhaps some people will see the task, be satisfied with the reward, and accept the task!

"Is there really anyone who can assassinate the Demon King?" Laura asked suddenly after a moment of contemplation.

"Who knows? But if an adventurer doesn't take risks, can they still be called an adventurer?"

Anno tidied up the entrustment in his hand and then said, "I just want Miss Laura to not be limited by her previous way of thinking."

As long as it doesn't break the law, the Adventurers' Guild will accept any request.

However, the Adventurers' Guild is currently in its early stages, with a small number of adventurers and no strong individuals, making it unable to complete tasks beyond its capabilities.

"Is everything just your imagination?"

Laura snapped out of her reverie, realizing that the task of assassinating the Demon King was far too far-fetched, but she still smiled and said, "But the idea is still wonderful!"

Anno tapped the table and continued, "Let's continue discussing the commission."

Anno then categorized the fourteen commissions Laura had brought over.

Ten of these tasks are similar to those in Mil Village, and are categorized as beginner level, with rewards ranging from 50 copper to 1 silver depending on the size of the village.

Three of them involve exploring the situation in villages and towns that were recently attacked by monsters.

这个危险性很大,需要5~10级的职业者或者由0~5级的见习职业者组队才能接,任务等级为黑铁级,酬金在5~10银币之间。

After discussing all the fees with Anno, Laura was in a great mood.

Anno's asking price was much lower than expected, less than half the price.

She is now looking forward to Anno's Adventurers' Guild growing stronger, so that some tasks that can only be entrusted to mercenary groups at this stage can be handed over to the Adventurers' Guild.

"Let's see how you raise prices again!"

After mentally cursing the mercenary group that frequently clashed with the Viscount, Laura looked at Anno, who was scribbling on a piece of paper, and asked疑惑地问道, "Anno, what are your criteria for rating missions?"
