"Your name is Qianzhihe...uh, no, it's Qianzhihe...right?"
After a brief silence, the little girl with golden braids jumped up to the red girl. While looking back and forth at the girl named Qian Zhihe, she repeatedly read the name above her head: "You I just said... you also want to join our adventure group?"
"Yes, yes. Tianlai NovelＷｗＷ． ⒉"
Finally taking the first step, Qian Zhihe, who seemed to have put down his burden, nodded expectantly, then secretly glanced at Duan Qing beside him: "But...is it okay?"
"Well……"
Amid the smiles of the two people around him, Mengzhu, who circled around the red girl twice, scanned the player in front of him up and down several times, as if inspecting first-class goods: "You are... magic Teacher?"
"Yeah!"
Mentioning what she is good at, the girl who was a little embarrassed by the other party finally nodded excitedly: "I am a fire magician! What I am best at is fireball! On the battlefield of Fars, I once... "
"Will you make money?"
"……ah?"
The little girl who suddenly spoke up asked a question that Qian Zhihe had never thought of before, and choked back the words she originally wanted to recommend her. The smile of the maid behind became thicker, and Duan Qing next to her also touched her nose in embarrassment. However, the little girl with a satisfied face did not think there was anything wrong with this question at all: "Yes, that's right. Make money! Although our adventure group is not large in number, the members are also a bunch of lazy guys... No, there are only one or two who are, and they are currently undergoing rectification... In short, our adventure group is not a formal adventure group, so in addition to making money, My usual goals are also quite scattered. I don’t have any activities and I don’t participate in many competitions. Apart from chatting, I just do my own thing or hang around..."
Like the leader of an adventure group introducing his dream, Mengzhu swung his hands back and forth on his chest while walking back and forth in front of Qian Zhihe, scolding his adventure group for their usual routine. All kinds of things done. But after hearing what she said, the smile on Duan Qing's face became even more embarrassing. He looked at the red girl who was at a loss as beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Stop your movements: "That..."
He reached out and grabbed Mengzhu, who was immersed in a certain atmosphere: "Let's get down to business."
"Ah? What's the matter... Oh, right, right, you want to join our adventure group, right?"
"Ah...yes yes yes."
The girl nodded hurriedly: "Well...do I need to pay the membership fee? I don't have many gold coins on me..."
"Membership fees? How can we have such a thing that bullies others!"
The little girl let out an angry breath, then looked at the other person with her hands on her hips: "Well, I'd better ask you a few questions first..."
"Have you joined other adventure groups now?"
"No, no!" The girl waved her hand hurriedly: "I am alone now and have absolutely nothing to do with other guilds!"
"So...why do you want to join our adventure group?"
"Well……"
Qian Zhihe was stunned for a moment, then twisted his fingers in confusion: "I, I... I just want to find a place to get to know myself again."
"I have always been a player who was taken care of before. I knew few people and saw little of the world. I always wanted to become stronger, but every time I got to the critical moment, I always fell behind..." It seems to be a memory. Regarding some things in the past, the red girl lowered her head again, and her expression became gloomy: "Someone persuaded me just now, and my brother also discouraged me before, saying that I was actually a novice. It’s not the right time to go out on an adventure alone, but I...I..."
She raised her head and looked around at the people in the room: "If you don't try, how can you know that you can't do it! I, I still want to try..."
"That's why you were so happy when you saw me..."
In Mengzhu's strange eyes, Duan Qing on the side lowered his head and said, "Is it because... I finally saw an acquaintance outside?"
"I know... In the past period of time, I didn't leave a very good impression on everyone, and I also caused a lot of trouble to Brother Qingshan..." The girl's voice became lower and lower, and then continued Her expression suddenly lifted up: "But...but! I will work hard to change! One day, I will definitely become the most outstanding magician, I will!"
"Can you... take me in?"
"..."
When Mengzhu turned his head, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Although I don't know what happened to you, but..."
"We are not bad people who are unwilling to save others."
"snort."
The little girl snorted with disdain, then stood in front of him with her hands on her hips: "Don't tell me... of course! We are not like those big guilds who don't care about anything and know rewards and punishments all day long. , you know that members are distinguished by equipment and contributions. We are a big family formed by freedom! The purpose of our Fool Adventure Group is to fill every corner of the free world with true love and warmth! Don’t worry, the people here are all good people, no They will bully you! Just stay here with peace of mind. If anyone bullies you, just tell me..."
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down first." Duan Qing hurriedly grabbed the excited little girl: "You have shouted out all kinds of nonsense slogans, please pay attention to your image, okay?"
"Ah? Oh, oh right..." Mengzhu cleared her throat, and then restored her previous expression: "So, where did we ask just now... By the way, you said you are a magician, your magic What level is it? What spells have you mastered? How is your actual combat experience?"
"According to the level of the Mages Council, I should still be considered a second-level magician...but my fireball is very powerful! What I am best at is fireball. Of course, I can also use low-level fire magic. Yes, other spells... I haven't learned them yet, but I have a lot of practical experience. I have participated in many battlefields... battlefields... what are they called?"
"It's a battlefield copy." Duan Qing covered his forehead: "Forget it... I can prove what she just said. After all, I also acted with her twice when I was there, although at that time she... ...Well, in short, he is still a qualified player."
"Um?"
There was a long ending sound in her nose, and the little girl looked at Duan Qing with squinting eyes, and then nodded slightly hesitantly: "Okay, I'll trust you for now, then..."
"Next...well, what do I need to ask next?"
In the hidden laughter, Mengzhu, who was shaking his ponytail, glanced at Duan Qing who was dumbfounded. Then he stood there and became worried. After a long while, he knocked on the palm of his hand: "Forget it, that's it. Well, you... are qualified."
"Really? Yeah!" The red girl shouted excitedly: "Am I a member of the adventure group now?"
"no!"
The little girl waved her hands seriously: "The questions just now are tests made by me as the leader of an adventure group. What follows is my own request! Well... for the sake of our adventure group, let me put it this way It should be possible……"
"what?"
"The entrance test, well...it doesn't sound very nice, the initiation ceremony..."
Amid the inexplicable looks in the eyes of the people around her, the little girl, who turned around three more times, finally made a decision: "Let's call it an initiation ceremony!"
************************
"What an initiation ceremony? To put it bluntly, it's still about making money!"
Outside the door of the Adventurers Association, Duan Qing, who was dragging his exhausted body, looked at the crowds coming and going on the street under the setting sun, and commented with some helplessness: "It is called training the members' survivability, which sounds very nice..."
"No, it doesn't have to be like this, Brother Qingshan." Qianzhihe on the side shook his head in confusion: "The leader... maybe it's for everyone's good, so I have to do something to approve my request..."
"When Xuyu Liushang and Anyu Ninglan joined the association, there must have been no such thing." Looking at the red girl's normal expression, Duan Qing said casually: "Look at those names, they are all given... "
"No, the leader has been very good to me." Qianzhihe waved his hand quickly, but his voice lowered involuntarily: "Look, she sent you to help me..."
"No." Duan Qing replied with a dark face: "She just wants me to make money."
"……a ha ha ha."
Amid the red girl's dry laughter, Duan Qing wiped the muscles on his face with his hands, and then took out the stack of pages that Ninglan had given to him from the package at his waist: "No matter what, we still While it’s still dark, try to pick some easy tasks first. Hmm…what’s your goal?”
"It seems to be three hundred and twenty-eight gold coins."
The red girl tilted her head and looked at the sky: "I don't know if this number... has any special meaning."
"Don't worry, she definitely won't read those advertisements for small games." Duan Qing said expressionlessly, "So maybe it's just a random thought."
He flipped through the pages in his hand, and skillfully picked up the contents with his other hand: "But if we can't fake it, then this amount is still a bit difficult for us. Delivering news, helping to carry goods, collecting furs... …It’s better not to do this, there’s not enough time to get to Talon Plains… Jeweler’s assistant, um… This is not bad, and there is cleaning…”
He put away the stack of papers, and at the same time handed the ones he had selected in his right hand to the red girl: "Let's do these things that look easy to do first, and then we can collect some money..."
"Are these...all the work that our adventure group has accumulated from time to time?" The girl asked doubtfully as she looked at the things Duan Qing had put away.
"Some are like this, and some were just admitted to the Adventurer's Association today." Pointing to the hall behind him, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "You can do it for one, you can do it for ten, it doesn't matter so much."
"Oh." The girl nodded doubtfully, and then looked at the first piece of paper in her hand: "Sending a message: Help Master Skoku in the west of Tania City deliver a message, reward twenty gold coins... Wow, just sending a message Hey, is everyone’s money so easy to make?”
"There must be something fishy in the middle." Lifting the big knife behind his back, Duan Qing explained helplessly: "But it doesn't matter, let's go take a look first."
The truth is as Duan Qing expected, it is not that simple - Master Skoku mentioned in the commission is indeed the captain of a city guard stationed at a certain intersection in the west of the city, but from two people Judging from the brief contact with him, this guy is indeed not an easy guy to get along with. After getting the letter in the other party's hand, the girl who looked at the other party's strange eyes became even more confused, because apart from the mission item that was not allowed to be opened, she never got any other reminder from the other party.
Except for the name of the target he wanted to deliver to: Wiesel.
"What should I do?"
In the helpless eyes of the girl, Duan Qing sighed with a headache: "I knew..."
"I'm a regular customer." He laughed softly: "Is the Shadow Club's outside line..."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "It's just... forget it, I know this person, let's go and deliver the message now."
"oh."
With the girl's puzzled expression, Duan Qing took her to the civilian Dignity Tavern, and was told by the owner of the tavern that had not yet opened for business that Wiesel was not here now. Leaving the message in his hand on the counter, Duan Qing put aside his preparations to explain to the other party the previous turmoil in the city, and led the girl out of the door: "Do you remember that Kima? That Visser... right now The person in charge of the Shadow Society in Tania City.”
"Wow, Brother Qingshan even knows such a person!"
"It's just some connection." Throwing the twenty gold coins in his hand to the girl, Duan Qing explained in a low voice: "The previous mission was also thrown to me by that guy, although in the end... there was no reward. Didn’t get any.”
"Hahaha, then the twenty gold coins this time are considered as advance interest." The girl snickered and put away the gold coins in her hand, and then asked happily: "Why is no one rushing for such a simple task? Is our front finished?"
"Maybe they don't know who the so-called Visser is, and the previous captain's attitude was so bad..." Duan Qing guessed casually: "But isn't this a good thing for us? At least we can have more Make some money..."
"Yeah." The red girl nodded with satisfaction: "I hope the subsequent commissions will go as smoothly."
"How can there be such a good thing..."
The unintentional words became a prophecy and gradually became a prophecy, because their next mission encountered difficulties - they wandered around the aristocratic area of Yale Street for a long time, but could not find the missing person mentioned in the commission. The target person had no choice but to give up this possibly expired task at Duan Qing's suggestion and rushed to a warehouse by a bridge in the south of the city. There was a cargo transportation commission, but looking at the two panting players, the guard guarding the warehouse door expressionlessly tore up the commission letter in his hand, and then informed them that the task had been completed. fact.
"All the goods here have been moved, please wait for the next time." He said.
"What bad luck."
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Qian Zhihe kicked away a pebble on the side of the road dejectedly: "How could this happen?"
"Originally, they were just small tasks, some of which were cleaned by people." Duan Qing comforted the other party: "Let's hurry up and try to run all these tasks before dark, regardless of whether they still exist..."
He picked up the page and looked at the next place on it: "Vaniya Jewelry Shop...well, it's a task to help the jeweler."
"I hope it won't be too confusing." (To be continued.)
