Chapter 08: Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenaries (2)

Under the leadership of the commander of the guard, Andrew came to a corner of the Adventurer Hall.

It was an inexplicable protrusion, like a hemisphere. Because there were many counters and bulletin boards in the Adventurer Hall, including high platforms for rewards and various activities, and it was open-air and looked very noisy. Andrew came so many times but didn't notice it.

Going back, a stair leading to the ground appeared in front of Andrew, and there were two guards standing at the door.

The head guard walked straight down, but Andrew stopped.

"What's wrong, sir?" the chief guard turned around and asked.

Looking around, Andrew said casually, "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. There is still a next floor in the Adventurer Hall."

"Of course, there must be, otherwise where will the customer discuss the task?"

"Talk about the mission?"

"What kind of tasks should be issued and how much bounty should be given. Someone has to help them with these, otherwise the customer will not understand."

Andrew suddenly realized "Oh".

Lin Lopez's Adventurer Guild is indeed much more developed than in the South. In such a developed industry, there should naturally be an efficient system. After all, it is impossible for so many tasks to appear in the hands of adventurers every day, and adventurers' halls cannot just provide credibility and venues.

Walking down the steps and appearing in front of Andrew is an underground square with an area of ​​the same area as the Adventurer Hall above, with a sign hanging on the top: "Task Hall". Unlike the Adventurer Hall, the Adventurer Hall is open and open, while the Mission Hall is hidden.

Standing on the steps, Andrew could see that the huge circular site was divided into cubicles, each with independent sofas and desks, and uniformly dressed staff were receiving all kinds of customers. Most of the staff were humans, and customers had all kinds of races, among which there were even cyclops half-squatted taller than the walls of the compartment.

A small piece of space was vacant in the middle of the round site, and a circular counter was placed. There were three human girls in uniforms on the counter. Depending on the situation, it should be a place like a consultation desk.

There are light guides refracted by mirrors on the four walls of the open underground square, attracting sunlight, so that the underground, which should have been dark, looks no different from the ground.

"Sir, our boss is still waiting for you."

"OK."

Under the leadership of the commander of the guard, Andrew walked down the circular stairs, and to the middle, he turned up the other stairs. The stairs led to a room hanging on the dome. Yes, a room hanging on the dome. And the room faced the wall in the middle of the mission hall, and the whole side was made of glass. Since the compartments here had no roof, there was no doubt that everyone in the compartment could be clearly seen from the room.

This strange shape is extremely rare in human buildings. Of course, it is not a rare thing to be in the elves' territory. Elfs originally like to live in tree houses.

Finally, the two of them came to the door of the room. The two guards guarding outside the door stretched out their hands, but instead of pushing open the door of the room, they pushed open the door against the wall next to them. A scene of enthusiasm immediately appeared in front of Andrew.

"Have the task number 000112251071 not heard back yet? The employer is very anxious and he needs us to reply immediately!"

"No, this task cannot be handed over to the Red Rose Mercenary Group. The employer does not want the relationship with the other party to be completely stalemate. The Red Rose Mercenary Group's techniques are too fierce."

"The content of the mission is to bring back fifteen jars, and now they only get thirteen. Two are missing. These jars are in one set, and no one is missing. They must get the remaining two! If they can't find them, they won't get a dime commission!"

"Two magicians disappeared, which is a very serious matter. I think another mercenary group should be sent, otherwise the mission will likely fail."

Countless employees were making noises, talking, and dealing with various things.

This is a lobby located in the outer ring. Although it is far from comparable to the Adventurer Hall and the Mission Hall, it is not small in scale. There are more than a dozen rows of desks, and people come and go. Of course, here there are only staff, no adventurers, and no customers.

Andrew was stunned. After all, the scale behind the Adventurer Hall was indeed a bit beyond his imagination. Even though he had been here for a month, he still did not guess that there were so many people behind the Adventurer Hall to maintain its operation.

"Sir, please come here."

Under the leadership of the commander of the guard, Andrew circled around and finally returned to the hanging room. However, this time it happened to be the opposite direction of the glass wall.

It was a dark brown wooden door, and at first glance, it was very exquisite in workmanship. It was completely different from the rough style of the Adventurer Guild.

There was no need for the head guard to knock on the door, a human girl next to her desk had already arrived in front of them.

The head guard introduced: "This is Mr. Tru, the leader of the Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Corps. The boss told me to bring him over if he comes."

"Hello, Commander Tru." He said hello with a smile, and the girl lowered her head and opened her notebook: "Our boss has something to do, so you may have to wait a while. Can you?"

After thinking about it, Andrew replied with a smile: "Of course."

"Please do this."

Under the guidance of the girl, Andrew sat in the sofa area in front of the room. On the sofa next to it was a bald man, full of fangs, two big big men as big as Andrew, with muscles all over his body, and wearing leather armor. He seemed to be waiting, but he didn't know how long he had been waiting, but he started to take a nap while holding a big axe.

The surroundings were noisy, and the staff were dealing with all kinds of things, busy all the time. Andrew sat quietly alone. Oh no, there was the girl with the desk in front of the room. It seemed that she should be the boss's secretary, and she would always meet Andrew's eyes, and she would hang her professional smile on her and nod politely at Andrew.

"Is this called waiting for me? I thought I was waiting for me specifically." Andrew smiled helplessly and said to himself: "One day I will have a group of people waiting for me outside the door. The longer you wait, the better."

I just waited for it, and it took about half an hour before the door opened. Six or seven humans hurriedly walked out of it, but the leader was a very noble goblin.

With a swagger, a group of people walked past Andrew without even looking at Andrew. Maybe they didn't notice it at all.

"Captain Tru, you are here, please come in." The secretary lady walked towards Andrew.

"Shouldn't it be his turn? He arrived before me." True pointed to the orc who was already asleep next to him.

"Shh." Looking at the orc, the secretary lady reached out and made a gesture of silence, and then said in a low voice: "You should come in first."

After spreading his hands, Andrew slowly stood up and walked straight into the room.

I have to say that this room feels much larger than what I see outside. It is probably in comparison with the task hall, so it looks smaller. Being in it is another feeling.

What Andrew saw towards him was the glass wall. Standing here, you can really see the entire mission hall clearly.

In front of the glass wall is a circle of sofas and coffee tables. On the left is a bookshelves filled with books. In addition to the locked small door, there is a bar in the corner, where various wine bottles and some other objects are placed. On the right is an office desk and a bookshelves with the entire wall.

At this moment, there was only one person in the room, or... a goblin.

A short and chunky figure, thick limbs, bare, green head, pointed ears, wearing luxurious clothes, thick necklaces, and rings all over his hands. At this moment, he was lying on the desk with a thick cigar in his mouth and was writing something.

Looking up at Andrew, the goblin turned to the secretary lady behind Andrew.

"Boss, this is the leader of the True Corps. The leader of the Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenary Corps." As he said, the secretary introduced to Andrew again: "This is our boss, Mr. Bian Turu. People generally call him Bian VI. He owns four of the eight adventurers' halls here."

"Good luck." Bian VI jumped from the seat with a cigarette in his mouth, and his head only reached Andrew's waist.

"Good luck." Andrew smiled faintly.

Bypassing the desk, Bian VI came to Andrew and stretched out a hand.

Andrew thought he wanted to shake hands with him, so he reached out. Who knew that Bian VI gently patted Andrew's hand, then crossed it with him and walked towards the sofa. Andrew was a little embarrassed. He turned around and looked at him silently.

Sitting on the sofa, Bian VI said casually: "You can go out."

"Okay." The secretary smiled politely at Andrew, exited the door, and closed the door.

Andrew and Bian VI were left in the room.

Relying on the back of the sofa, Bian VI asked in a cigar with a little accent: "Captain Trudeau needs some wine, tea, or cigarettes?"

"No, I don't need it." Andrew replied softly.

"Don't you like it?"

"The Blood Elves drink, but I still have a lot to do today, which is not suitable."

"Okay, it's a pity. I can't find a second place in Lorraine Pace. Please sit down, Commander Trudeau." As he said, Bian VI pointed to the sofa next to him: "Let's talk."

"Yes." Andrew walked to the sofa and sat down.

Billing the wine on the table, Bian VI began to make up the wine for himself, concentrating on his mind, and the technique seemed very particular. He did not speak throughout the process, and Andrew did not speak either.

It took a while for Bian VI to prepare wine for himself, poured Andrew a glass of water, and then blew the ash: "Did you take the task from us do it with Christina?"

"Yes." Andrew replied casually.

"So you are a mercenary group, right? It's just that because Christina can't get the task here, you registered another mercenary group and you are the leader?"

Andrew smiled and looked at Bian VI quietly without answering.

This was originally the default meaning, but Bian VI mistakenly thought he had made a mistake, so he flipped through the book next to him, and then said to Andrew: "Sorry, I have a lot of things every day, and sometimes I remember some things wrong. The news of the people under my command may not be reliable. So, I will reconfirm every time I talk about things. Please answer clearly whether I am or not, I want the exact answer, not guessing."

"Yes." Andrew replied calmly.

"Okay, so I'll know that the information I've received is accurate." As he said that, Bian VI had already picked up the pen and hooked it on his notebook. Then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine while looking at the notebook in his hand.

Relying on the back of the chair, Andrew looked around: "This place is quite grand, a good place."

"It's okay." Put down the wine glass, Bian VI wrote something on his notebook with a pen, then closed the notebook and looked at Andrew again.

"Actually, I'm quite surprised that the boss behind the Adventurer Hall was actually a goblin. I thought it would be a human, just like your staff."

"Would you be even more surprised if you knew that other owners of Adventurers Hall were also goblins?"

"Hmm?" Andrew was stunned.

"The other two bosses are my two younger brothers. They share the remaining four adventurers' halls. One of them just left here and you should have seen them if you are outside the door." After taking a deep breath of cigar, Bian VI leaned against the armrest of the sofa and spit out a cloud of mist, and then said with a smile: "Our family has run the adventurers' halls in Linlopez for generations, and even all the buildings under the name of the adventurers' Guild were funded by us. We have also funded many famous mercenary groups. For us, there are only two things that have the greatest pleasure of life, one of which is money. Gold, countless gold, how can we like it when we look at it."

As he said that, Bian VI grinned, revealing his teeth that were covered in smoke.

"This is a very goblin." Andrew smiled "What else?"

"There is also the discovery of potential mercenaries." Bian VI said seriously with a finger: "Note that it is a potential mercenary group. We are not interested in the already famous mercenary group because we can no longer make more profits from them. It will only be a routine business."

"So the second point is gold?"

"It's not that pure. In addition to gold, it also has the sense of accomplishment of earning excess profits. For me, operating the Adventurer Hall is not only a job, but also an interest. Unifying work and interest is the most perfect model for life. If you are earning the same amount, I hope it is because of my unique vision, rather than the natural output of the industry left by my ancestors. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Andrew nodded.

"Kristina, I have always had high hopes for her, at least before I was extremely disappointed with her. I have rekindled hope in the past two days. I have checked your records, it is pretty good, it is what I want to see. In a short time, I have established a good reputation and very efficient. I even believe that Christina has changed. Murphy... is the chief guard who brought you here. He said you still hope to sign with us again, which makes me happy. It means that the problem between us is being solved, your performance has changed, and Christina did not hold a grudge against me because I had no choice but to abolish the agreement. So I decided to start the negotiation again. However, before that, I want to ask a question first. I hope you can answer seriously."

"What's the problem?" Andrew asked.

Bian VI took a deep breath of cigarettes, spit out a cloud, then grinned and looked at Andrew with a smile and asked, "Who are you?"
