Chapter 22 Mission Level
As autumn enters, Pelican Town gradually becomes busy.
Everywhere in the town began to be filled with the aroma of food, and various stalls began to be set up on both sides of the town square, which would have been almost lively without the market. Farmers from the surrounding farms were displaying their harvests and works.
Come up. Only at this time can this town give people a feeling of being alive.
One hour of sleep is definitely not enough to be adequate.
But Arrow also has his own methods.
He washed his face with cold water to make himself look more sober. After pushing open the door of the warehouse and seeing the noisy little guys, he habitually put the book in his hand on the podium with a bang.
ring.
In an instant, all the noisy students below fell silent.
"Well, it's harvest season now, so everyone's families should be quite busy."
Arrow picked up a small wooden stick and slapped it on the podium——
"So, the parents of my classmates should also be working hard. And I don't want to disturb your time when you go home to help your parents. So today we will teach some easy things. If you can learn fast enough, then you can do it after lunch
gone back."
As soon as the words fell, the forty students in the entire classroom immediately burst into deafening cheers!
"but!"
Arrow has no intention of dereliction of duty——
"If you can't learn or learn well, then don't blame me for letting you stay in class."
As a businessman, Airl can put a smile on his face.
But as a teacher, he fell out of favor at a speed that surprised even himself.
Seeing that he had shocked these children, Ai Luo was satisfied, took out the chalk, and opened the book he brought from the capital: "Today, we will first study a classic children's literature created by Lord Lovek.
, I believe that some children should also have a story that their parents have told since they were young - the city in the depths of the ocean. I hope everyone can read this article aloud to themselves as much as possible."
It is always easier to teach familiar things than unfamiliar things.
After the previous few days of teaching, Ai Luo felt that these children should be able to read this short story, which is only about a hundred words long.
Sure enough, because everyone was familiar with the story, almost all of these students were able to read this article aloud before eleven o'clock. Some children even excitedly pointed to the words above and wrote them on the paper one stroke at a time.
.
Seeing that the teaching was about to end, these children could be sent home at 12 o'clock, and he could go back to his room and have a good sleep. This made Ai Luo couldn't help but cheer up, thinking about surviving this last moment.
Hour.
"Teacher Aero, in the future I also want to go on adventures like the protagonist in the story, so can I join the Mermaid Song?"
A boy raised his hands with stars in his eyes.
Ai Luo chuckled, trying not to look like he was perfunctory: "Of course. But this will have to wait until you grow up and learn a lot of knowledge."
Another girl raised her hand: "Teacher, I want to be a magician like Sister Coco! It looks very handsome!"
Coco was sitting in front. When she heard a child call her sister, she thought she was handsome. For a moment, a proud expression appeared on her little face. But she was still trying to hold it in and wanted to laugh, but she was afraid of the Ai Luo in front of her.
Don't dare to laugh.
Ai Luo picked up the small wooden stick and patted it on the podium: "Then you must study hard. Only after entering a regular school, the school will help you test whether you have sufficient magic affinity. (Dwarf) Napa! These children
Do any of them have the potential to become magicians?"
The cat, lying in the corner and sleeping soundly, slowly raised its head, glanced over the children's heads one by one, and then flicked its tail without interest: "(Mermaid language) What a pity, there are none."
Ai Luo smiled and said to the girl: "You have to work hard. I believe that some of you here will be able to become magicians! Then the time is almost up, let's——"
"Teacher! Teacher Arrow!"
Another boy raised his hand so high that he was almost standing on the stool——
"Teacher! Mom and Dad said that guilds accept missions, but how do you accept missions?"
"Yes, yes, teacher, how did you accept the task? I want to know your rules!"
"And more! As an adventurer, don't you need to equip a lot of weird things? I heard that there are strange staffs and holy swords blessed by angels!"
These questions are really nonsense.
Due to the confusion in his head, Airl doesn't really want to answer these questions right now.
But when he saw Brad, Buffy and Coco sitting in front of him looking at him expectantly, he thought about it and sighed helplessly.
"Well, since you want to know, I will tell you about it. But you have to know that becoming an adventurer is not really as interesting as you think. Sometimes it is also accompanied by unspeakable dangers."
Ai Luo knocked on the small wooden stick, thought for a while, and continued -
"As for how to accept quests... let me first tell you about the general rules of adventurer guilds for accepting quests."
The children and the three members all had their eyes widened, and their concentration was even more determined than when they were studying the text just now.
"Based on my experience as the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, I have formulated the following six levels of tasks for our guild. Brad, Buffy, Coco, you also remember it. If I am not here in the future, someone will ask you
You can also answer the question about the price of the guild."
"First of all, the first level, which is also the lowest level of tasks, I call it the 'stone' level."
"For example, get rid of cockroaches, break the rat nests in the farmland, clean the streets, and move items. My concept of this level of tasks is that no matter how careless the person performing the task is, no matter how careless the work is,
Keep it in mind, there won’t be any danger to your life.”
"Of course, since there is no life-threatening danger, and most of the tasks are odd jobs, the reward for the task will not be very high. In my case, the maximum will not exceed 1 silver coin. However, this number is not applicable to all guilds.
It’s all the same. For example, in some big cities, the guilds in Hanhai City, the capital of our Blue Bay Empire, even the cheapest tasks probably start with just one gold coin.”
After saying this, Ai Luo saw that the children were not making much fuss but still looked forward to it. Seeing that there was still enough time, Ai Luo continued.
"After that, I will call the second-level tasks 'iron' level tasks."
"My definition of iron tasks is that they are dangerous to a certain extent. If you are not careful, you may be disabled. If you are extremely careless, your life may be in danger. You need to make certain preparations and wear some basic equipment to complete the tasks. List of tasks.
Such as rampaging wild boars, some slightly poisonous plants, and unintelligent monsters with the strength of an average adult."
"This kind of mission can often be completed by a single person, but there are certain strength requirements for the adventurer who performs the mission alone. But if it is a multi-person mission, even a group of adventurers who know nothing about each other should be able to support each other.
It can be completed successfully.”
"Because iron tasks may cause personal danger, although the risk is minimal, it is still dangerous. Therefore, the reward starts from 1 silver coin, but the maximum will not exceed 1 gold coin."
At this time, Coco raised her hand. After Ai Luo allowed to speak, the little mage said: "Brother, President, is every task judged based on whether it will cause life danger?"
Ai Luo thought for a while and said: "Basically, I want to judge this way. But for example, if a rich man wants us to help take care of one of his little pets, and is willing to pay us 10 gold coins, then we don't have to
Is it right to refuse? However, since the other party is willing to give 10 gold coins, then we must also increase the task level to a corresponding level! No one is willing to hand over a 10 gold coin task to a fledgling adventurer. In addition, these prices
It’s not constant. As our business develops in the future, we might even need to charge an extra 10 gold for an iron task.”
Seeing that Coco stopped talking, Ai Luo continued -
"The next level is the 'Bronze' mission level."
"This mission level is the mission level that really needs to test adventurers."
"To perform this kind of mission, you need to make some basic preparations, such as preparing healing medicines and bringing supplies. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger. You need an adventure veteran with certain experience. It is not recommended to take on the mission alone."
"Sometimes it even requires a certain amount of professional knowledge, and the enemy you face may have a certain amount of wisdom. For example, you need a priest to remove a cursed house, or you need someone who is good at detoxifying to face hordes of goblins.
Facing poisonous monsters, etc. The reward ranges from 1 gold coin to 10 gold coins, and this kind of price is no longer something ordinary people can entrust. It is often a village gathering to pay the reward or a wealthy person in the city.
Pay.”
Arrow paused and saw Brad taking notes seriously. But he hadn't learned a few words yet, so how could he take notes?
Arrow poked his head out and saw this burly warrior drawing on paper with a pen and a serious look on his face. He wrote down the poisonous monsters and wild boars he just mentioned. If he couldn't write it down, he drew a wild boar.
and mushrooms. Then put an exclamation point at the end, one exclamation point indicates the stone level, and two exclamation points indicate the iron level.
This serious attitude touched Ai Luo for a moment. He nodded and thought about whether to find some martial arts for Brad to practice in the future? Even for the future development of the guild, a warrior would only rely on scent to seduce and add magic.
A hammer blow is not a good thing.
"It will be awesome if you come back. This is a 'Silver' level mission."
"When facing this kind of mission, every adventurer needs to be fully prepared, reasonably equipped, and fully understand the characteristics of his or her profession. Everyone should be a veteran adventurer who has been on the battlefield, and these adventurers know this.
Even if you are very careful, such tasks may cause your own death and disability. From facing organized bandits and robbers to destroying a monster's lair, or even seeing through witchcraft attacks to some elemental monsters, undead, and low-level demons
The offense and so on are in this line.”
"You should also have heard that in the silver-level missions, I did not say anything like 'multiplayer is recommended' or 'single player is not recommended'. This means that I made it very clear. No matter how confident you are in this kind of mission,
Adventurers with a strong heart should not take it on alone. Our guild will not send this kind of mission to a single adventurer. The adventurers who take the mission must be a team. Also because of the high casualty rate of this mission, the amount
It’s also very high, the reward is 10 gold coins and goes up to 100 gold coins.”
The silver-level tasks made all the children feel excited! Every little face was glowing red!
But this is not what Airl wants to see. He is more concerned about his own guild members.
Fortunately, after experiencing the bloody bug battle, the three guild members did not show excitement like children, but were all very cautious. This attitude is what an adventurer should have.
It also made Airl feel relieved.
"Then, as you may have guessed, it is a task called 'Gold' level."
"There are no recommended configurations and preparations for this kind of mission, because even a team of adventurers who can successfully pass the silver level may not be able to match the gold level adventure."
"This mission is very dangerous. You need to face powerful demons, dragons, and undead. You will even have to face battles with enemy guilds, as well as conspiracies involving kingdoms."
"This kind of mission belongs to the stories sung by bards and is the source of fairy tales of knights and princesses. Similarly, this is not a request that ordinary adventurers can handle at all. Because no ordinary adventurer can handle it, the reward of gold coins is natural
There is no upper limit, it is a task that once completed, you can get a lot of wealth and honor."
After saying that, Ai Luo clapped his hands to calm down these excited children who were obviously in the fantasy stage.
He began to regret, should he not have added words such as singing, fairy tale, wealth and honor in the gold level mission introduction?
But to be honest, even though he defines it this way, he really doesn't want to encounter any gold-level missions in the past three years. Encountering gold-level missions with the configuration of his guild is completely to die...
Haha, are you overthinking it? You probably won’t encounter it, right?
"Brother President, you just said there are six levels, right? But..."
Coco held up her fingers——
"Stone, iron, copper, silver, gold. There are only five levels in total? What is the mission of the other level?"
Hearing Coco's question, the whole classroom became quiet again.
Arrow shrugged and looked at the time... and the last few minutes. Well, let's just talk about it.
Although, this mission level already existed in his imagination.
But who can not allow a fifteen-year-old girl to have a little fantasy?
"The highest level, I call it the 'Legend' level."
"This level of mission corresponds to the legendary demon king who is about to destroy the world, the evil dragon that destroys mankind, and the ferocious beast that destroys the earth!"
"And those who can complete these tasks are only the legendary braves. They are all chosen by God, and have powerful strength and outstanding courage that are completely different from ordinary adventurers! Only in this way can they face those who can destroy the entire world.
A terrible threat to the world!”
"This kind of mission is no longer just sung by bards. It is an epic, a story that can be passed down for countless centuries, told by countless parents to their children, and then repeated by the children who grow up.
Tell your children about the grand journey passed down from generation to generation."
"Legendary level tasks cannot be entrusted by a small guild at all. They are no longer even entrusted by a single country or empire. Instead, they should be a great process jointly carried out by many countries on the entire continent.
.”
"And if there is really a brave man who can complete a mission of this level, then I think the talk about gold coins should be meaningless, right? Because that will be a piece of history, a name that is truly worthy of this mission -
"
"A legend!"
Well, although it’s basically just my own imagination.
But it turns out that this daydream I made up is very effective!
Look at the children below, each one's face is full of the dreamy color of longing for a heroic story. Although this is not his original intention... well, let's just do it.
When-when-when-
Twelve o'clock is just right.
Ai Luo clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, get out of class is over. You all learned well today, be careful on the way home from school. We will learn the three major elements of adventure next time! This is the key to deciding when to retreat. Course!”
The feeling of fatigue dissipated as soon as these children came out. Ai Luo rubbed his head and looked at the leaving children with a last smile on his face.
At least today, I saved the students money for a meal, so I made some money.
After packing up his things, Ai Luo returned to the mission hall in front and glanced at the still empty bulletin board.
He curled his lips.
"Brother President, do you want to have lunch?"
Turning his head, it was Coco who was tugging on his sleeve.
This girl is now familiar with me, at least she is no longer so defensive.
After scooping two mouthfuls of millet porridge, Ai Luo stretched out and looked up and down at Brad, who was snoring for lunch.
Although the equipment on this warrior is not very good, it is still complete. But looking at the only magician in the guild, the robe on Coco looks very shabby and too big.
Doesn't fit well.
"Is this robe important to you?"
When Coco heard Ai Luo's question, she raised her head, weighed the robe on her body, and shook her head——
"It's not that...this robe is the only thing I have now. It can provide me with some magic power."
Ai Luo nodded: "I will take you to the market this afternoon to buy some good materials, and then sew a new robe that suits you."
When she heard that there were new robes to wear, Coco's eyes suddenly lit up! She didn't even eat lunch and just looked at Ai Luo expectantly.
Such a look is really irresistible~~~
Even the sleepyhead before felt a little depressed.
Okay! I must go to the market later and try to find some materials that are most suitable for making robes!
"Do you know what material is best used to make a magician's robe?"
Suddenly, Napa, who was drinking milk over there, raised her head and shook her ears.
Arrow thought for a while: "There are some records in the magic section of the school library. Magicians need to be able to do their best to sense the power in the air around them and resonate with themselves. As far as this kind of resonance is concerned, it is best to wear nothing.
of."
Coco was stunned, and her ears instantly turned red.
Ai Luo smiled and continued: "But in order to be able to live in the world, and some robes can also provide some additional inspiration and defense capabilities, it is best for the mage to wear a suitable robe."
"It seems that although metals and minerals can also provide magicians with magic bonuses, they are too heavy and cannot be worn much. In comparison, other materials such as silk, gold thread, plant leaves, cotton, etc.
All of them help magicians sense the magic in nature."
Napa raised her head from the bowl, licked her lips, and still said lazily——
"That's right, magicians can indeed enhance their own power through magic robes. But I'm pretty sure that the magic book you read should only contain life magic. It's no wonder, life magic is more frequent."
Buffy, who had been sitting on Brad's shoulder, finally couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Necromancer, isn't that so?"
Napa's tail flicked, wiping away the milk stains from the corner of her mouth. It floated up again, landed on the cushion over there and lay down, and said slowly: "Of course. It's a method made using plants and minerals."
Generally speaking, the robe still belongs to the power of life."
"As for the Necromancer, the best material for making robes is of course the power of death. Well, or things related to death."
Buffy: "For example?"
Napa: "For example... the skin of a living creature. After the creature dies, the sooner the skin is peeled off, the better the effect will be. The best leather is the skin pulled from the living creature. During the process of peeling off the skin, if the creature
Death, this kind of material can be said to be top-notch. The magic induction provided by the necromancy robe made of this material can definitely scare you."
Simple and unpretentious.
Airl even felt that this cat was a bit too simple, so he actually said these words directly.
He looked at Coco on the side. The girl's face had obviously become uncomfortable. In order to ease the atmosphere, Ai Luo drank up the milk in his hand: "It doesn't matter! Even if you can't buy a robe, why don't you buy some clothes? Coco, this afternoon
Let’s go shopping and buy you something.”
"No need, Brother President."
Coco's face was pale now, and she shook her head gently——
"The guild's finances are not rich to begin with, and I don't have to ask for any clothes. I'll wait until next time."
After saying that, the child picked up her rice bowl and walked into the kitchen. After a sound of scrubbing, she pulled her tattered robe and walked towards the alchemy room.
Seeing that she was completely out of sight, Ai Luo glared at Napa who was lying motionless over there.
"What? I didn't mess with you."
"Hmph! You clearly know that this child is a little concerned because he is a necromancer, but you still say such things?"
Napa said nonchalantly: "She will always know. And knowing now is better than letting her know in a situation beyond our control."
It's not that Airl hasn't thought about this. There's a reason why necromancers generally have a bad reputation among the people. Knowing more now is better than being forced to know something later.
At this point, Ai Luo has nothing to say.
He scratched his head, finished eating with everyone, washed the dishes, returned to the room, rearranged the documents he had made all night, added some embellishments and touches, put down his pen, and went to sleep.
Chapter completed!
