Xuan Yue took the two copper badges and said discontentedly, "Why am I only a level three mercenary? That's way too low."
"Increasing mercenary level is extremely difficult," Goris said, "the higher the level, the harder it is to advance. If you're relying on completing normal missions to level up, I'm afraid it would take you a year to advance from level four to three. The Mercenary Guild has already given you a substantial preference because you're magicians. Like me, I've been a mercenary for twenty years, and I'm still only a level one."
Xuan Yue glanced at him and said, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't I tell you we're not going to join your mercenary corps?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "There's no hard feelings if a deal isn't struck. If you need help in the future, feel free to come to me. If there are challenging missions that require cooperation, we will be delighted to collaborate."
