Chapter 21 - Chapter 20 Mercenary Arthur

Today is an unusual day for Arthur. He even tossed and turned insomnia last night. Looking at the green pointed stone house in front of him, Arthur clenched his fists in excitement, his palms already sweating slightly. This is the Ores City branch of the Wayland Continental Mercenary Union. Arthur is no stranger to the mercenary union. He has followed Tony or Randall to receive and deliver tasks more than once before, but this time is different. Today is the day when Arthur officially registers as a mercenary! This means that starting from today, Arthur can receive mission commissions like other mercenaries, instead of relying on Randall's monthly pocket money of a few silver coins. This means that from today on, that skinny child can support himself on his own! A pair of big hands gently rubbed Arthur's head. Keynes specially accompanied Arthur to register today. As an old mercenary, he understood the young man's excitement at this time. Keynes led Arthur straight into the mercenary union branch. As soon as he entered the door, Brandon Fear, the head of the mercenary branch, greeted him with a smile. Although the "Blue Enchantress" is a rising star in recent years, it has the potential to become the number one mercenary group in Juarez City in the past two years. It is natural for Brandon to receive such a major customer in person. Brandon also took the initiative to handle Arthur's registration procedures in person. In fact, the registration procedure for new mercenaries is not complicated. As long as they have the strength of a first-level warrior, belong to a mercenary group registered with a mercenary union, and swear to abide by the mercenary code and defend the mercenary code under the watchful eyes of the statue of the mercenary king Amy. Mercenary's honor. After Arthur's age, household registration, warrior level, mercenary group and other information are registered in a simple magic manual, Arthur is considered an official mercenary. This magical magic manual is the biggest secret of the mainland mercenary union, and every branch of the union has a copy. As long as you register in one of them, the same information will be added to the magic manuals of other branches. In the future, the tasks Arthur completes anywhere on the mainland will be recorded and become a certificate for the mercenary level improvement. "Welcome to join the mercenary union. From today on, you will be a G-class mercenary. Please never forget the mercenary's creed!" Brandon smiled and took out a badge and handed it to Arthur. It was a bronze badge in the shape of a shield, with a crossed sword and ax carved in relief on the shield. The shield, sword and ax respectively symbolize protection, trust and courage in the mercenary creed! Bronze represents the lowest junior mercenary in the mercenary level, corresponding to G-level and E-level mercenaries. On top of this, there are intermediate silver mercenary badges, advanced gold mercenary badges and top-level purple gold badges. Keynes took the bronze badge from Brandon, pinned it on Arthur's left chest in person, and then patted Arthur's shoulder hard, "Arthur, welcome to officially join the Blue Fairy Mercenary Group. !" "Yes, Captain!" Arthur put his feet together, made a fist with his right hand and hit his chest with his fist, showing a heartfelt smile. This is a standard mercenary ceremony, which means protecting with life. During the whole process, there was a little girl with flaxen hair behind Brandon who was looking at Arthur silently with curious eyes. The girl has a thin face, a straight nose, and a few freckles scattered on both sides of the bridge of the nose, which makes the girl look cute and cute. When Arthur noticed the girl, the girl immediately hid her face behind Brandon. "Boy, let me give you a gift." Keynes said and handed an exquisite small box of Tanning wood to Arthur. Sky Star Wood is an extremely rare and expensive wood. It is named because the surface of the cut wood is covered with star points like stars. This wood is only produced in the Dream Forest in the Elf Territory. Not only does the Sky Star Wood itself remain incorruptible for thousands of years, but it can also prevent the magic elements of the magic items placed inside from being lost when made into boxes and other items. Just from this box, you can tell that the gift inside must be of great value! Arthur was a little surprised, and the hand that took the box trembled slightly. This was the first time Arthur had received a gift since he was a child. Under Keynes's encouraging gaze, Arthur gently opened the lid of the box. The girl behind Brandon also poked her head out, curious about what gift was in the box, but her face was immediately filled with disappointment. Inside the box is a white pendant in the shape of a six-pointed star. The material of the pendant cannot be seen, but it seems to be jade. Even jade is of the lowest grade. The surface is neither shiny nor oily, and the white color is slightly yellowish. It is certain that this is not a magic item at all, and no magic element can be felt from it. But Arthur was not disappointed at all. The fact that Captain Keynes could give himself a gift was worth more than any gift. "Take it with you. Although it is not very valuable, I have always carried it as a talisman. Now I give it to you. I hope it can also protect your mercenary career!" Arthur carefully put the pendant on his chest, still holding the empty box tightly in his hand. Keynes smiled when he saw this, "Arthur, we don't want the box. Give it to the little girl." Although Arthur was a little reluctant to give up, he was never a stingy person. Since Keynes said so, he generously handed the box to the girl. The girl behind Brandon curled her lips and did not reach out to take it, with an obvious look of disgust on her face. The girl didn't understand, but Brandon knew the value of this small box of Tanning wood. He took it from Arthur with a smile on his face, "I thank Captain Cairns on her behalf. This gift is simply too valuable!" "It's just a little thing. I also want to thank President Brandon. If there is such a high-paying commission in the future, we, the Blue Enchantress, will have to be given priority." "Definitely, definitely. The union also relies on the support of Captain Keynes and the 'Blue Enchantress'." Keynes's convenient favor was actually for Brandon. You must know that the mercenary union serves as an intermediary platform between employers and mercenaries, and the president has a lot of resources in his hands. Mercenary tasks can be released publicly for mercenaries to pick up, or they can be recommended to qualified mercenary groups with priority. As long as the task can be successfully completed, the employer does not mind how the mercenary union operates internally. In addition, among the vast number of commissioned tasks, there are always some tasks with low difficulty and high rewards, while others may seem ordinary but actually contain huge risks. In short, having a good relationship with the mercenary union will bring you all the benefits and no harm. The two sides exchanged a few more polite words, and Brandon personally sent Keynes out of the union. As soon as he left the mercenary union, Arthur immediately became distracted. This look naturally fell in Keynes's eyes, "I heard that Tony and the others also arranged a celebration ceremony for you at the Nightingale Bar?" Arthur smiled sheepishly, "Yes, leader." "Then you don't have to accompany me back to the mercenary group. Go quickly!" "Thank you, captain!" Arthur saluted Keynes, turned around and ran away. Keynes couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "You're still a child even if you become a mercenary!" "By the way, tell Tony and the others that it's not too late. They have to go on a mission tomorrow morning!" Keynes suddenly remembered what he wanted to give him and shouted at Arthur's back. But Arthur had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only Keynes shaking his head and smiling bitterly...
