I'm really a crispy French

"You see, so you are different from demons. You are calm, rational, and logical. Demons are the opposite of these words. They are crazy from the moment they are born, and they have no reason or logic. The sad thing is, the more powerful the demigod, the more demonized he is."

Archbishop Huerta laughed while hugging the bunch of grapes: "The so-called 'demonic' princes in the underground world are not pure demons. Most of them are demonized life on the ground, and the rest are actually half-demons. , It’s just that the other half of their blood is more powerful than humans, orcs, or elves, and can suppress the blood of demons, or at least maintain a balance. Pure demons who are completely crazy cannot become a ruler.”

Leon tried to recall what he knew about the underground world, about demons, those legends and myths, as if they were true.

He doesn't know many demon lords, like the hell dragon that has been legendary for thousands of years, and that one is a dragon that has been demonized.The most famous fallen angel is Lucifer, who was once the subordinate god of the sun god, but later fell and was also demonized.There is also the black elf queen who has the most fragrant, beautiful, and stories, the elf who betrayed, and is also demonized.As for the other maharajas, it seems that most of them are descendants of these few, and they are not as famous as them.

But in this way, at least as far as Leon knows, it is true that the Demon King does not have pure demons.

But... =. = Why are you talking about demons all of a sudden?

"Your Excellency Herta, is something related to demons going to happen in the future?"

"Didn't you ask me?" Archbishop Huerta blinked her beautiful green eyes with a straight face.

"..."

But Archbishop Huerta suddenly said: "Perhaps, maybe I predicted that the crisis in the underground world would come again? And a special child like you will always bring some changes to the earth. I look forward to your giving This dead world brings vibrant hustle and bustle, live according to your heart, I and nature will be your solid backing."

Archbishop Herta spoke impassionedly, but Leon felt that his trust in her plummeted.However, he still let Archbishop Herta touch his forehead. When Archbishop Herta took his hand away and Leon thought that the day was almost over, Archbishop Herta lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on Leon forehead.

Leon stared at her with wide eyes, in a trance, the beautiful image of the archbishop overlapped with another woman...

It was also a beautiful woman, although slightly inferior to the archbishop, she had long black hair, bright eyes, and plump lips that always smiled.

Leon called her—Mom.

Mom has a gentle voice, she is very kind to Leon, she said: "Baby, Mom loves you the most, Mom will never leave you."

But suddenly one day, she still said: "Baby, mom is sorry for you, but mom is leaving, goodbye, you have to be good..."

She opened the door and left without looking back.Leon could feel his own mood at that time in his memory. He was ignorant and didn't understand the meaning of "goodbye" at all. He was even waving to his mother and saying goodbye.He thought it was just a normal farewell.

However, in Leon's life, he never saw the woman who said she would never leave him.

Leon spent time with his grandparents, and when he got home, there was another woman in the family.

"Call mom," said his dad.

"It's getting late, you don't have a place of your own, Leon?" Archbishop Herta's voice sounded in his ears, but Leon still had a picture of the past in front of him, which made him feel a sense of harmony between the present and the past. A sense of perversion from the past.

"I saw the rental information on the bulletin board of the city hall, and there are two more suitable information."

In fact, it was the rental information that he had decided on when he was still living with Fernando.The landlords of those two families are honest people. After living here, Leon doesn't need to worry about many things.

"So how are you going to support yourself?"

"Go to the mercenary union to accept the task, I think it should be no problem to support myself."

Although the mercenary union is a place that Leon dare not approach, it is still no problem to observe from the outside and inquire about it from others.Diller City established four mercenary unions according to the four districts of southeast, northwest, and the flow of people entering and leaving each place was astonishing.

In this kind of big city, adventurers such as hunting do very little work, and ordinary people are the mainstream.

——Leon knows why the mercenary union is called a "union", because the main job of the mercenary union here is to introduce jobs.The recruitment of factories, the recruitment of servants or temporary workers in rich mansions, the delivery of letters, the sale of newspapers, etc., are basically handled by the mercenary union.

Leon felt that as an awakened person, he should be able to find a job and support himself, right?

"Indeed, I wish you all the best. But... you really don't want to taste the grapes?"

"Goodbye, thank you very much for your help, Your Excellency Herta." Leon completely ignored this invitation, and now before his eyes, the past is still such a real illusion.

"If you still want to eat grapes, the cathedral will always welcome you. Goodbye, Leon." Archbishop Herta waved his hand regretfully.

Archbishop Huerta, who smiled gently, stood beside his father, stepmother, and twin brother who got along very closely.The natural scenery of the Cathedral of the God of Nature is mixed with the mottled modern decoration of the earth world.The deep gate of vines is juxtaposed with the thin balcony sliding door.

——After having a new mother, Leon changed from living in a separate room to living in the living room. When the new mother gave birth to a pair of little brothers, he lived on the balcony.

Thick curtains were added to the balcony so that other people would not know that he lived there.Leon's favorite thing to do is to quietly pull up the curtains and look outside, at the lush community garden downstairs, at his peers playing, at the swinging swings, and at the big dogs chasing him.

That's why he likes to look down from the big trees in Lamandel Forest?

Walking back to the natural avenue in a daze, Leon continued to walk towards the exit of the avenue. Anyway, there were no cars here, and his eyes were still full of scenes from the past. This was the first time his subconscious mind was so generous.

Leon stopped in his footsteps, and as soon as he said generously, those scenes disappeared.He didn't know why his mother left, let alone why his father ignored him so much, and he didn't know how he changed from a poor little boy to what he is now.And... He always felt that he didn't grow up on that balcony completely?

Subconscious mind: Do you really care about this?

Leon raised his head: I do care, but... it means "a little curiosity"?In the end, these things are just confirmed, and no one wants me to do it.Also, why am I so obsessed with finding someone who must be me—because there has never been one.

Subconscious mind: After two lifetimes, do you really think that someone like us would want it?

Leon: ...Although I used to call you trash, wasn't that a joke?We are all alone, is it necessary to be so worried?

Subconscious mind: what about the archbishop?

Leon sighed: She is very similar to her mother...

Subconscious mind: Well, I think so too.

Leon: So no, what I want is not a mother.

The subconscious went down again, and Leon was already standing at the end of the natural avenue, behind him was the natural avenue, and in front of him was the city street of Diller City.

Even though he had left the Natural Avenue, Leon still couldn't find the carriage.He walked forward for half an hour, during which time he robbed two thieves, beat up three kidnappers, and knocked out a drunk who didn't know what purpose he had, before he finally saw the first taxi.

"Dear little sir, where are you going?" The coachman smiled kindly when he saw Leon, but when Leon got into the car, the smile disappeared and turned into a rigid seriousness.

When the carriage stopped at the intersection of the mercenary union, Leon got out of the carriage, looked at Leon's back, and the coachman who got the fare showed a puzzled expression: "MD, I probably drank too much yesterday, so I flew away a lot of money." Windfall." He cursed softly, turned the car around and left.

Leon came to the mercenary union in the southern district. Compared with the union in the northern district, there are much fewer people here.The people in the North District are all workers, and the square is full of foremen holding signs to recruit people.Here more people are recruiting servants, gardeners, chimney sweeps, etc. It is rare to recruit people with signs.

"Hey! Little guy, are you lost?" Leon didn't take two steps before someone walked towards him.

There are women with kind faces, and big men with ferocious faces. No matter whether they have ulterior motives or pure kindness, Leon doesn't want to have any close contact with them.

He raised his arm and moved his fingers.The wind blew in an instant, and the few people who were closest to Leon stretched out their hands to grab him felt a pain in their arms, and subconsciously withdrew their hands.On their outstretched arms, the sleeves had already been cut, and there were even thin cuts on the skin under the sleeves, and blood was slowly oozing from the cuts.

"Awakened!"

"A born awakener!"

These people retreated to the surroundings at a faster speed than they rushed up.Some people who saw it retreated together, and those who didn't see it, as long as they got close to Leon, they would all end up in the same way.When Leon walked into the building of the mercenary union, everyone knew that there was a kid who was not easy to mess with.

There are even fewer people inside the mercenary union than outside.There was a strong man in the black uniform of a sheriff standing in the middle of the entrance, yelling loudly: "Those who receive the mission go to the left! Those who send the mission go to the right!"

When he said "send a mission", the sheriff's tone was obviously much gentler.

"Excuse me, if I want to register as a mercenary, where should I go?"

"Children, don't..." The sheriff's iron rod suddenly broke flat from the middle, and Leon took the broken piece in his hand. He threw it upwards, and the invisible edge instantly smashed the half of the iron The stick was cut into four pieces of equal size.The sheriff made a movement of clenching his legs, probably because of the urgency to urinate, "Dear Awakened Lord, please go to the right, the purple counter."

"Okay, thank you very much." Leon held the four pieces of iron, rubbed them twice in the palm of his hand, kneaded them into a ball, and put them into the hands of the sheriff.

According to the sheriff's instructions, Leon turned to the right after walking through the entrance corridor.Unlike the small mercenary union in Shanpo Village, the layout here is a bit like... a bank?The receptionists did not sit behind the desks, but behind the high stone counters. There was no glass window as the upper half of the partition. After all, the alchemy crystals here are high-end items, so the upper half is a series of fences.

The color of the counter and the color of the fence are different, or else the sheriff said purple counter.

There are also those that are not fences. Leon stopped in front of the purple counter. He thought wrong just now. Not all counters use fences. This purple counter is made of alchemy crystals—could this be the counter for noble concubines? Bar?

However, there is a problem.

Leon stood in front of the counter with his mouth twitching.

He is too short, standing on tiptoe, may not let the people at the counter see the horns on his head!

Although this place is in the western world, normal people are not that tall. The average height is only about 1.6 meters. It turns out that the little man of the Harpoon Gang, Klauen, is even less than 1.5 meters.The upper-class people like Fernan are all over 1.7 meters five, and there are quite a few tall people with 1.8 meters facing upwards among the guards.

But this platform, after all, is 1.3 meters four, right?This height, the kind of 1.8 meters will be very uncomfortable to stand in front of.

Leon looked at the other counters, there were indeed short ones, so the sheriff deliberately made things difficult for him?

After thinking about it for a while, Leon didn't bother with the magistrate, he worked hard to mobilize the "Leon factor" - even if someone like Archbishop Herta could see his essence clearly, Leon made up his mind to camouflage.What he wants is a happy life among ordinary people, suddenly stretching himself into a long strip, or taking his head off and lifting it up... don't scare people.

A few minutes later, Leon was dangling and lifted up by the invisible "Leon Factor"~

"Dangdang." Leon knocked on the alchemy crystal.

The arrangement behind the purple counter is the same as that of a bank, a large horizontal desk with a receptionist on the left and right sides.There were very few people coming to the right side, and there were even fewer people coming to the purple pick-up counter, otherwise Leon would not have been tossing about for more than two minutes and no one would let him line up behind him.The two receptionists were talking about fingernails. The sound of the alchemy crystal made them retract their hands immediately, and looked out of the counter with smiles on their faces.

Seeing a child for the first time, the expressions of the receptionists were first surprised and then a kind of offended anger. One receptionist stood up, glanced down, and his face immediately became respectful.

"Hello, respected Master Awakened, my name is Bella. Is there anything we can do for you? By the way, please sit down."

She must have operated something inside, a high chair was raised from the outside of the counter, Leon simply sat on it, and found that it was still a bit short, before he could speak, the chair had already raised a little by itself.

"I want to register with the mercenary union here. Also, take on some tasks that suit my abilities." Leon was already fantasizing about doing an ability test. After all, those Western fantasy novels have them, such as the Bronze Horsemen, Silver Knights, etc. Mage or something.Moreover, the Mason receptionist in Shanpo Village also talked about the first, second, and third orders.

"If you want to register, do you want to register an identity that is only used in Diller City, an identity that is common to all mercenary unions in the Muller Federation, or an identity that is used by the Thirteen Allies?"

"That is to say, it's not that I registered here, but it's equivalent to registering with all mercenary unions?"

It is agreed that if it is registered in a small place, it can be used in the whole continent?It seems that the professional level test is also a bit hanging.Although I have been mentally prepared since learning the language, I still feel a little disappointed.

"Yes, it's like you are a citizen of Diller City." Bella saw the citizenship badge on Leon's chest, "But if you go to other cities, unless you re-register, you will not be able to enjoy the same citizen benefits. yo~"

And this?By the way, this is the civic badge of Diller City, not the civic badge of the Muller Federation.It seems that although the Mueller Federation has no monarch and no enfeoffments, in fact, every city in the country has its own ideas.

"I see, the registration fee is also different, right?"

"Yes. But if you register in Diller City, you can get the silver...gold mercenary badge of Diller City for free. After all, you are already a third-level spellcaster. I have served here for three years , you are the youngest third-order spellcaster I have ever seen."

Sure enough, the awakened ones are divided into levels, but how did she determine that?I can fly?Leon didn't continue to ask her about the Awakened.When he showed ignorance about the mercenaries, Bella and the other receptionist didn't show any surprise. They all took it for granted, and Bella's explanation sounded very skilled.

But the power level of the awakened person seems to be something that the awakened person should know.If Leon didn't know anything and was confused, he felt that he would be in big trouble.

Therefore, Leon accepted the assessment of this "third-level spellcaster" calmly: "What's so special about the gold mercenary badge?"

"With the gold badge, you can choose high-level missions first, receive services first, submit missions first, or send missions first."

"Only in Diller City?"

"Yes. So what's so special about the trade union registration of the Muller Federation and the trade union registration of the Thirteenth Alliance?"

"Ninety percent of the missions in Diller City are no different. Only a very small number of national-level missions or alliance-level missions will be useful, because that can increase mercenary points, and people with higher points will Get some benefits from the Mercenary Union General Assembly." Bella shrugged, "But most of those benefits are useless, not only have to queue up, but also go to Kapolis, the capital of the Cairns Empire, to collect them. If you don’t, you don’t know.”

For the introduction of a larger range of mercenary badges, Bella obviously doesn't care that much, and without introducing the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages first.

Subconscious mind: limit brain drain?

Leon: I agree.

"What if I want it all?"

"what?"

"It is to apply for a mercenary union badge in Diller City, and then apply for a Muller Federation and a Thirteen-Nation Alliance."

"Sorry, each person can only apply for one."

"Then apply for a gold badge for Diller City. Is this the best badge?"

If there is no accident, he will live in Diller City for several years, or even ten years.Judging from Bella's attitude, the mercenary badges that are not from Diller City are not very popular.

Bella's eyes lit up immediately: "I'll handle it for you. Unfortunately, this is not the best mercenary badge in Diller City. There are also emerald badges, ruby ​​badges and golden gem badges. But gem-level badges badges, all need to be exchanged for contribution points.”

"Understood." The badge of the mercenary union is more formal than the badge of citizens.

He signed a document to join the union and got another gold badge, which was a small circle larger than the citizenship badge, with an almost identical castle pattern, but without the river, and above the castle was a crossed short Sword and battle axe.Leon also pretended to pierce his fingers as if he was treating the citizen's badge. In fact, he just sent a little "Leon factor". The badge really lit up, and the short sword and dagger changed from simple engravings to three-dimensional reliefs. , and very real.

"This badge is only useful when you are very close to you. From today onwards, it will be your identification." Bella moved out a box the size of a square brick from her drawer, and Bella placed a cushion under the box. A piece of parchment.After she removed the box cover, she motioned Leon to look at the groove inside—the size was just enough to fit the badge in, "The badge can only work in the groove when it is activated."

Leon took the pin on the back of the badge and pushed it into the groove.He looked at the parchment, but the parchment didn't respond.Instead, the lid of the box Bella was holding projected a light screen.On the light screen, there is a bust of Leon, and there are many blank items to be filled behind.

This magical world suddenly became more advanced.

"Then, your name." Bella smiled.

"Leon..."

The two asked and answered, and another receptionist delivered a cup of hot milk to Leon on the way.

In fact, the milk in this world is not very tasty, and has a fishy smell. If you add sugar, it will become sour if you add less sugar, and it will become bitter if you add too much sugar.But it seems that this is the only drink for children besides sugar water or honey water.For adults, there are also various alcoholic beverages.They don't drink fruit juice, thinking that fruit juice is just a material for making wine.

After filling out the personal information, Leon took the badge from the groove.After the light screen disappeared, the receptionist pulled the parchment from under the box and handed it to Leon.

There is only one line on the parchment, "On June 23, Mr. Leon, registered with the South City Mercenary Union as a golden badge. Current points: 0"
