It is now three o'clock in the morning, and it is time for all residents to rest on the old continent, but the world-famous metropolis, Katris, is still in the noisy and unrest.

There were crowds of people, and cars came and went.

Nanfeng Tavern, located in the corner of the central square of this prosperous city, is still booming at this time. The busy mercenaries, employees who finish their work, and all kinds of people gather here to enjoy the rest after excessive work, hoping to use this to clean up all the tiredness of hard work in one breath.

Just in a corner of the bar near the front desk in Nanfeng Tavern, Curt and Oscar, two guys who had finally come back from a simple job, were reporting the specific situation of this action against my elder sister. Liqi, who was nominally unrelated to work, was lazily lying on the bar and dozing.

"In general, you found a large number of unregistered monsters in the underground lake connected to the mines. They repelled the attacks, right? And according to what you said, those "unconfirmed monsters" are indeed very likely to be artificially made rock puppets..."

My elder sister was now flipping around the "fragment samples" on her hands that were taken back by Curt from the unknown monsters, but no matter how she looked at it, she could not see any special things about these "samples" in front of her, except that they were a little harder than ordinary rocks.

As a result, she looked at it for a long time and finally gave in: "No matter how I look at these samples, they are just relatively hard sword rock mines. The guy who is responsible for detecting spell composition has already gotten off work, and now I can't dig him out of bed at this time."

My eldest sister's job is a book scholar. These researchers who specialize in writing power are better at handling text than those who operate magic power to build spells or create spell objects. It is not what she is good at to see clues from these samples.

No one is proficient in everything, so the managers of the Mercenary Management Office usually have a lot of division of labor. The task of inspecting spell items is usually left to the inspector Ben Vikas. However, it is already early in the morning, and the weak scholar had already fallen on the bed and fell asleep.

Curt nodded in his chest. He discovered this problem when collecting samples: "You are right. This should be something special for people who have basically not been exposed to spell objects. So, you must ask the spell to ask the spell at this time."

Then he patted the silent Oscar and said, "Oscar, please purify some magic and inject it into the stone like you did at that time."

Hearing Curt's instructions, Oscar nodded a little dullly and said, "Understand."

Staying up late and the long journey made him feel depressed, but she still held the "stone that was nothing special" on the table as Curt asked. At the same time, she refined the magic power in her body and poured it into the cold stone little by little through the guidance of the magic tool.

In an instant, the colorless magic power spread out bit by bit. A little white glimmer slowly climbed over the entire stone like a spider web. After a while, the originally black and hard stone was densely covered with traces of emitting egg white glimmer.

Curt changed his usual hippie smile and pointed to the stone that became unusual after being injected with magic power by Oscars and explained seriously: "See it? These luminous places are all connected magic trajectories. This is not the magic trajectory form that ordinary sword rocks should have when they are 'natural minerals'."

"Of course, my level alone can only see that the magic paths on these 'monsters' are huge and complex," Curt deliberately emphasized that he was not good at spells. "As for the occasional demonization caused by natural effects or someone deliberately does it, I can't make a detailed judgment."

He said that he could not judge the causes of these "unconfirmed monsters", but when he said "deliberately", he slightly increased his tone. The elder sister's head was suddenly caught by the snippet of her mouth, and she even suspected that this was the attitude that Curt had expressed inadvertently.

But she did not pursue her endlessly, just said "I understand" and stopped talking.

She looked at the stone whose magic power was fading and frowned obviously. She has been working here for a long time and has experienced many things. However, this round, she felt that she had been missing for a long time - she might have had a long time headache for a while.

Seeing the elder sister head and Curt "communicating" information with each other, Oscar seemed at a loss.

For him, the result this time might be between luck and misfortune. If all actions were as smooth as planned, then the work should be very simple, but the appearance of the rock puppets completely ruined a good "simple job". The report collection task actually took only a little time, and after that, they all explained about the spiders that suddenly appeared.

"Ahhh, it's really troublesome! It seems that it is necessary to talk to the people in the security team as soon as possible and ask them to send a few people to investigate that side. No one has been in for so long. Now this situation suddenly occurs... If there is any emergency after this, it will be difficult to solve."

The eldest sister muttered unhappy.

As the head of this mercenary management office, she is also an ordinary civil servant in the "Daily Affairs Management Department" of the unit under the Katris Municipal Government. One of her duties is to sort out the work situation and special situations reported to the relevant departments after the mercenaries have been sorted out.

According to the work rules, the report of Curt and others just reported that "a large number of unregistered monsters were found in the abandoned mines in the suburbs, mountains" was an abnormal phenomenon, so she had to contact the security team as quickly as possible to let them verify the matter.

Unfortunately, the Mercenary Management Office has always had a bit of a holiday with the security team - this is also the reason why my elder sister is unhappy. As a civilian armed organization, mercenaries cannot directly interfere in tasks involving urban security levels. Whenever the task level is raised to this level, the entrustment must be transferred to the security team or above units.

This is undoubtedly a forced job snatch, but if these management regulations are not followed, the mercenaries who are out of management will be designated as dangerous elements who hold improper force to pay attention to it. By then, the remaining paths will be left to work underground or disarm the civilian level or above.

At the same time, in the eyes of the guards, these mercenaries are armed personnel who "do their business if they give money". Even if the administration bureau takes jurisdiction, it is an unstable factor in the city. Of course, the mercenaries are not willing to be called "dangerous elements", and they also dislike those guards who think they are arrogant.

In such an environment, the disputes and frictions between the two sides have almost never stopped since they existed in the city at the same time. If we hadn't known that it would be annoying to make things worse, the fierce fighting factions among the two groups might have been a long time ago.

Curt sighed sympathetically: "Thank you so hard."

My elder sister seemed to have already seen her head open, but she just raised her head and poured the "cage fire" with half a cup left in her throat, and then said, "It's okay, I've known since the first day I came here that I have to get used to such 'troubles'. As long as those bunch of nerds can be a little smarter and save me some snacks."

"By the way, I almost forgot about this." She scratched her face and then turned out a stack of documents. "Oscar, put these in place, here are your registration documents."

They were several pages of printing paper loaded in a folder with neat text arranged on it. Curt remembered that this was the mercenary's agreement and registration form. After reporting the collection task before, my sister said she wanted to send them to Oscars, but it was delayed because of the rock spiders.

There are naturally a lot of texts in a large stack of documents, but there are almost no ones worth reading. In the eyes of those who have become mercenaries, most of the articles written on it are completely unnecessary terms. However, in order to prevent disputes in the future, Oscar still reads those precautions and related terms carefully.

"That's all right?"

I thought there were more assessments, but it was officially approved as Curt and the others picked mushrooms, which surprised him a little. If this task was not considered that Curt accidentally accepted the investigation of the traces of monsters, there could be almost no risk.

"I originally wanted to join the mercenary ranks and there was no need for a particularly troublesome assessment. After all, our function was only responsible for managing unregulated forces." The eldest sister explained, "Although you have many newcomers like you, the job you can receive is usually not particularly eye-catching. At most, it is to go to the surrounding villages to expel monsters. Since this is the case, wouldn't you cause trouble?"

Mercenaries are wide in and out, but they are strict in management - this is almost a "common sense" level problem. Even Oscar felt that his problem was a bit stupid, and he hurriedly responded: "Say, that's what he said."

"You have registered with the Katris Mercenary Management Office. From 9:00 tomorrow morning, you are one of the many unemployed people here. As long as you are not picky about tasks like this senior, you will have some achievements."

The eldest sister used a half-joking tone to relieve Oscar's tension, and then said to him in an inspiring tone: "Anyway, please work hard for the peace and tranquility of this city in the future."

This feeling of being trusted and expected to be passed into my mind made Oscar stand up immediately and formally put on a gesture that mercenaries often use to express their understanding. At the same time, he said: "Yes! I understand. Oscar Rogris officially joined the mercenaries today. I hope you can give me more advice in the future!"

"Congratulations, work hard in the future." The eldest sister said with a calm look on her head. Then he hesitated for a moment as if she remembered something before continuing, "I remember mentioning tomorrow. I remember before leaving, what preparations for the college will be made tomorrow. Do you rest?"

"Oh no, I completely forgot about this!" Oscar screamed and quickly jumped from the chair. "I, I, I will say goodbye first. I will come to work on time next weekend morning!"

After saying this, he hurriedly rushed out.

"Ahhh, what a young man, full of energy."

The eldest sister watched the boy's back with anticipation expression. Over the years, he has seen many young people who have entered the work of mercenaries, but the impression that Oscar gave him was a little different. Even she herself didn't know what this feeling was.

Watching Oscar go away, she suddenly turned around and asked Curt, "What did you find?"
