Too shocked, the adventurers in Maple Town carefully inquired about the mission content of the mission that could disband a black iron team.
As a result, when they learned that the mission was to help merchants in Maple Town transport a batch of goods back from Muchun Town in the west, everyone was beyond shocked.
Instead, I would describe it as stunned.
Muchun Town is far away from Maple Town. If you take a carriage, you can basically go back and forth in one day. Excluding the situation where it gets late and you have to rest for one night in Muchun Town, generally speaking, it can be completed in two days.
And the roads are all highways, not even thieves or bandits.
What you need to be careful of is that the small animals that occasionally emerge from the fields and roadside grass scare the carriage.
Such a task, apart from taking some time, is not difficult at all. It is basically a welfare task for novices.
At most, there is a lot of cargo. Three carriages are pulled, and more people are needed to take care of it.
But as a result, Mark and others not only failed the mission, but also caused the team to disband!
This simply made everyone look stupid!
The employer even went to the Adventurers Guild to demand compensation!
Because Mark and others lost the goods and were unwilling to compensate the merchants for their losses, they disbanded the team directly, leaving the merchants unable to find anyone to compensate them, so they had to turn to the Adventurers Guild.
After Altolf found out the truth, he almost died of anger. He deprived Mark's group of younger brothers of their adventurer status on the spot, and said they would never be hired, and registered them in the Adventurers Guild records.
As for Mark, for Father Molière’s sake, Mark’s bronze-level adventurer was downgraded to black-iron level.
After completing ten Black Iron missions alone, we can talk about promotion.
As for the employer's compensation, Altdorf decided to have the Adventurer's Guild advance the payment first, and then ask Mark for it later.
But after Mark learned that his adventurer level had been downgraded, he felt so ashamed that he hid in the church and never left the house.
It's not easy for Altdorf to come to ask for debts. That would be no different than slapping Molière in the face.
Therefore, Aldolf set his sights on the gangsters Nok and Leo.
Yes, bastard.
This is what Altdorf thinks of the two men.
Since completing ten silver-level tasks, these two guys have not taken the initiative to take over tasks. Even if they go out occasionally, they only take on some convenient tasks. They are all bronze-level or even black-iron level tasks, which is simply nonsense.
But the union didn't have regulations that said high-level adventurers couldn't take on low-level missions. Therefore, even if he wasn't willing, he couldn't stop Nok and the two from taking on low-level missions.
That's right, just play.
Anyway, Altdorf didn't think that those monsters with the highest strength of bronze level could bring danger to these two bastards.
Feeling dissatisfied with the two of them, Altdorf found the two of them drinking at the wine table in the rest area.
"Where are you drinking?" Altdorf sat down at the empty seat at Nok's table without any courtesy at all.
"Hey, isn't this the president who is always busy!" Nok joked.
Altdorf blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, my position is elder."
Nok joked: "Yes, yes, the elder of the headquarters, the president of the branch! You have the final say here now."
Altdorf stopped talking, unable to answer the question.
Branch president, the headquarters will definitely not be set up, lest someone act like a local emperor and form cliques to do special things like the previous professional offices.
The current system of the Adventurer's Guild is a rotation system, and each elder is rotated to serve elsewhere based on performance every three years. Those with good performance go to big cities, while those with poor performance go to small places.
Anyway, whoever has the ability will enjoy the blessing.
Therefore, even if Aldolf was dissatisfied with the performance of Nok and the two of them, for the sake of Aldolf's future performance, he would not dare to break up with this guy.
Seeing that Altdorf didn't take the move, Nok suddenly lost his interest in joking.
He directly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked directly at Altdorf, and asked: "Tell me, what do you want from us? Your old man doesn't pray when he doesn't see Satan, and he doesn't recite sutras when he doesn't meet ghosts."
Altdorf was exposed to the truth, so he simply didn't hide anything and said frankly: "I'm here to settle a score with you."
"What kind of account is this? I don't owe you any money. We always pay before we leave after drinking." Nok was a little confused and couldn't understand why Altdorf said this.
The veins on Altdorf's forehead were beating wildly, and he said angrily: "Don't pretend to be stupid, it's the compensation for the mission that Mark failed. He lost his employer's goods, so he didn't compensate him and even disbanded the adventure team. Yes. The compensation advanced by the union totals fifty gold coins. Give me the money quickly."
Nok was almost not amused after listening to Altdorf's words.
"Old man, did I hear you correctly? Mark failed in his mission, and you want me to compensate you? Why don't you let me help compensate everyone who failed their mission?"
"I'm not kidding, hurry up." Aldolf couldn't help but urged him.
But Nock suddenly stopped smiling, sat upright, and said seriously: "Elder Altdorf, I'm not kidding you either. If you want to ask Mark to compensate, then go to him, don't come to me. He is him, and I am. Me! We have nothing to do with each other, we can only be considered acquaintances at most. You can’t force me to help him compensate because we know each other. Got it.”
Nok's words made Altdorf angry.
He slammed the table and shouted: "He is yours!"
"Stop!" Nock interrupted quickly, and then explained loudly: "Although I was asked by Father Molière to take care of his incompetent disciple, so when he did his first mission, I asked him to temporarily join me. team, and then he was lucky enough to get a bargain after we killed the mission target and completed the silver mission, but it doesn’t mean that he is my person!”
Nok said this, paused, then stood up, and shouted to the people around him who listened to their argument: "Everyone should know that after Mark completed the first mission, he independently found a team to do the mission. He has joined so many teams. If he has joined, he is one of mine, then other teams must also be responsible for Mark! Because Mark has stayed in other teams much longer than he has with me!"
"So, Elder Altdorf, if you want compensation, you should either go to Mark himself, or go to his teachers or his former team members, instead of going to our group of unjust teams who were just 'lucky' by him! Everyone, please tell me, right?"
"Yes!" The people around him responded loudly to Nok, not afraid of the excitement.
"You!" Aldolf was so angry that his face turned red. He grabbed Nok's chest, dragged him in front of him, and whispered: "Nok, don't go too far. Others don't know clearly, but I am very It’s clear that Mark’s younger brothers have something to do with you! You paid them to brag about Mark. In other words, you deliberately messed with Mark!”
"Oh, Elder Altdorf has a very rich imagination! In that case, please show us the evidence! I will definitely accept the punishment with all my heart."
"Nock, don't be too deceptive. Believe it or not, I will spread the information I know. When the time comes, Mark and his teacher will definitely kick you two out of the house!"
"Go quickly. If you don't go, don't bother me when you see me." Nok didn't care at all.
That's right, he hired someone to play the role of the group of boys following Mark.
They were all looking for gangsters from Maple Town.
He even gave the order to let those gangsters deliberately flatter Mark and flatter him so much that they deliberately created conflicts in the team where Mark was staying and provoked differences between Mark and the team.
Also, Mark’s subsequent series of mission failures were all caused by Nok’s instructions to the gangsters.
In order to prevent accidents, Nok and Leo specially took on low-level tasks and followed Mark's team to observe the situation to avoid uncontrollable situations.
Until later, Mark was so encouraged by his younger brothers that he really thought he was a genius.
Guaiguai paid for his younger brother to set up the adventure team "Holy Shepherd". That was because the gangsters said that no one was worthy of leading Mark. Is Mark an ordinary priest? no! He is a rare genius in the Holy Church for thousands of years, that is, there is no holy level among priests. Otherwise, Mark would definitely be a holy priest.
Thus, the "Holy Shepherd" adventure team was born.
But Mark was so stunned by the flattery that he didn't realize that the captain of the adventure team was his number one brother, and he himself was the vice-captain.
It was fine at first until I took over the cargo delivery task.
A group of people rented a carriage and headed straight to Muchun Town. They were laughing and joking along the way, so happy.
As a result, when we arrived at Muchun Town in the evening, the number one boy ignored the dissuasion of the merchants in Muchun Town and insisted on returning at night. He also persuaded Mark that this meant traveling under the stars and the moon, so that the Adventurer Guild could see their "Holy Shepherd" complete their mission. The speed is amazing.
As a result, Mark was fooled and foolishly followed his younger brother on a night walk. Unexpectedly, halfway through, when they reached the wilderness, the younger brothers all said they were sleepy and wanted to sleep.
As a last resort, the group camped around the carriage.
But after Mark drank the water handed over by his little brother, he fell asleep until dawn.
When I woke up the next day, I found that all three carriages were missing!
Not to mention the goods.
Mark was so frightened that his face turned pale, but fortunately the number one boy stood up to comfort him, saying that there were ruts on the ground, and a thief must have stolen them while they were sleeping. As long as they followed the ruts and caught up, they would definitely be able to recover the goods.
As a result, after chasing for a whole day and night, the thief was not seen, but the team got into trouble.
A group of younger brothers were shirking their responsibilities and started pushing and shoving each other.
As a result, Mark's temper got worse and he scolded the younger brothers.
But who would have thought that the little brother who had always just followed Mark's wishes would suddenly feel like he was on fire, and he would come up to Mark with a bad temper and beat him up.
After knocking Mark unconscious, everyone disappeared.
When Mark returned to Maple Town, he found that his adventure team had been canceled by the captain!
The captain is not himself, but his number one brother!
Then, he discovered that his mission had failed again and he had been demoted to a black iron level adventurer.
He was also burdened with huge compensation!
Fifty gold coins might not seem like much, but to the ordinary residents of Maple Town, it was the money they would earn for half a lifetime.
Although Mark was Molière's only disciple, he only received a salary of one gold coin per month.
During my time as an adventurer, I earned more than 300 gold coins by completing tasks, but I was surrounded by a bunch of lovable little brothers.
All kinds of food, drinks, entertainment and rewards, and his younger brother came to him for help from time to time. Only then did Mark realize that he had been emptied of his family fortune by his younger brother.
Not only was the money he earned as an adventurer spent, but also the salary he had saved before.
He couldn't afford fifty gold coins to compensate his employer, and the three missing carriages cost about two hundred gold coins in total!
How can he get it.
Only then did Mark realize that he had been tricked by those boys.
He was so ashamed that he hid in the church not to go out, not only because he didn't want to be laughed at, but also to avoid debts.
Even when eating, he avoided Nok and Leo, making Molière confused.
Therefore, Nok was not worried that Mark would know about it.
Even if Mark knows, so what, it’s not like Nok has no backup plan.
Even if Molière knew that Nock was plotting against Mark, not only would he not be unhappy, but he would also clap his hands and praise Nock for his good calculation!
Therefore, facing Altdorf's threat, Knock didn't care at all.
After the gangsters had been threatened by Nok, they had already fled Maple Town with the reward given by Nok and the money they defrauded from Mark.
As for where to go, Knock didn't know.
After all, the reward of at least fifty gold coins per person is enough to keep them happy for half a year, even if they go to a big city.
Without evidence, who cares what Altdorf says.
After half a year, even if there is evidence, who will still pay attention to this matter?
As for Molière, after Nock realized that the other party wanted to cooperate with him, he didn't worry that he would fall out with him for an incompetent disciple!
Knock has this confidence.
The worst thing is, just find another collaborator.
This month, Nok and Leo were not hanging out in vain.
The two of them had already figured out the general situation in the Holy Court.
The Holy Church is divided into several factions. He has found out which factions are thriving and which factions are in decline and suppressed.
If he and Leo hadn't been waiting for their new equipment to be completed, and doing tasks to get some travel expenses, they would have gone away and changed partners by now.
Invincible, Nok and Leo have nothing to fear!
