Chapter 508: Seeking Fortune in Danger (Monthly Tickets Plus)

The Mercenary Guild was not difficult to find because it was built very grandly. After leaving the tavern and crossing two streets, Gervis soon found the Mercenary Guild on the main road of the Holy City of Heka.

Standing at the gate of the Mercenary Guild, Gervis truly felt the prosperity of this continent.

Gervase estimated that the Holy City of Heka was at least ten times larger than Alice's Winterfell, with a population of at least one million.

Without staying at the door for long, Gervis followed the crowd into the Mercenary Guild.

The hall of the Mercenary Guild was very spacious. Although there were many people inside, it did not feel crowded.

Gervis looked around the hall and did not go to the staff of the Mercenary Union. Instead, he went to a wall on the left.

Because there were a lot of people gathered around the wall at this time, and Gervis could see that the wall was covered with dense information.

If he guessed correctly, if he wanted to receive the task, he needed to check here first.

Soon, Gervis walked to the recruitment information board.

"I urgently need ten night orchids, more than two years old. The purchase price is 1 silver coin per plant, and the commission can be increased depending on the age!"

"The caravan urgently needs ten mercenaries to escort to Kazel City. The commission is 20 silver coins!"

"We urgently need a mercenary to deliver a letter to Roca City. The commission is 5 silver coins!"

“…”

As Gervis read through the items one by one, he suddenly felt relieved and knew that he no longer had to worry about dinner.

"It seems that it is quite easy to make money in this sacred continent. With so many tasks, you can earn enough to live on for a month by just completing one."

Gervis was originally worried that there would be few suitable jobs here, but now it seems that he was overthinking it. It is much easier to find a task here than to find a job in his previous life.

Gervis carefully memorized two tasks, both of which involved escorting caravans, and the commission for each was dozens of silver coins.

Although this would involve certain risks, it was no problem at all for Gervis. Even though the trading of silver coins might involve some major risks, Gervis felt that it was quite in line with his wishes.

Gvis took out the map to confirm the destinations of the two escort missions, and they were both heading towards the coastal areas.

Although this was only a short distance compared to the long route on the map, Gervis thought that he would use this method to get to the coast in the future.

You can make money without worrying about getting lost.

After confirming the task, Gervis did not go to the counter in the lobby immediately, but stood there and observed carefully.

Soon, Gervis saw a man dressed as a mercenary walking towards the counter after reading the information board.

Gervis immediately followed the man to the counter.

Gervis didn't know how to claim the mission, so he needed to follow the man to see what procedures were required.

The man walked to the counter and said a few words to the counter staff, who then took out a form for him to fill out.

After the man filled out the form, the staff handed him an envelope. The process was smooth and there was no delay.

Then, the man walked out of the Mercenary Guild with a smile on his face.

"Oh! It seems quite simple!"

Seeing this, Gervis didn't delay and immediately walked to the counter.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

The staff member looked at Gervis and then asked him politely.

"I want to take the mission..."

Afterwards, Gervis stated the preferred task he wanted to take and waited for the next process.

"Yes, sir. Do you have your badge?"

After hearing what Gervis said, the staff nodded and asked Gervis.

"Hmm? Badge?"

The corner of Gervis' mouth twitched. He was standing behind the man just now, so he didn't see the badge on the man's chest.

"Sir, if you haven't been certified as a mercenary yet, you can go to the second floor lobby to get certified! Then come here to receive the mission!"

The staff had apparently encountered people like Gervis often, and they took the initiative to tell Gervis a solution.

"Okay! Thank you!"

Gervis stood up awkwardly. It turned out that no matter which world you were in, the process of getting a certificate first and then taking up the job was the same.

However, what Gervis didn't know was that in this world, not only did one need to get a license before taking up a job, but one also had to pay for getting a license.

"Sir, to apply for the certification of a junior mercenary, you need to pay a deposit of 1 gold coin to ensure that you will not cause losses to your employer after claiming the mission..."

A few minutes later, Gervis walked back to the first floor lobby from the second floor with a look of despair on his face.

His mercenary career ended before it even began because he could not afford the one gold coin deposit required to be certified as a mercenary.

Although there is no strength threshold for mercenaries and no proof of identity is required, gold coins are required as a deposit.

After paying this deposit, you can become a junior mercenary, and then you can receive tasks worth less than one gold coin in any mercenary guild within the Holy Alliance.

If the mission fails and causes losses to the employer, the deposit of one gold coin will be used to compensate the employer.

"I guess I'm the most miserable king in history. If Alice and Caroline knew about this, they would probably laugh their heads off!"

Gervis walked slowly towards the gate of the Mercenary Guild. Since he couldn't find any way to make money here, Gervis could only do his backup plan.

That's robbery!

Of course, Gervis was not going to rob ordinary people, but was going to find some thieves or bullies to rob them.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Naturally, there is no shortage of such people in the Holy City of Heka with a population of one million, and Gervis will not show mercy when it comes to snatching them.

Originally, he felt it was too shameful to rob those petty thieves, so he chose to come to the Mercenary Guild. Now it seems he can only lower his requirements.

Wow~

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's a quota for auditors at the Alliance College! Oh my god, am I seeing things?"

"Yes! Who posted this recruitment notice? Is it a scam? The reward is actually a place for an auditor. Not to mention the alliance's top colleges, even a mid-level college would have an incredible reward!"

"Yes! Look, it says recruiting magicians. But why doesn't he recruit magicians from the Magicians' Guild? Instead, why does he come to the Mercenary Guild? How could those noble magicians come to the Mercenary Guild..."

"Hey! Staff, can you check if this recruitment notice is fake?"

Just when Gervis was about to leave the Mercenary Guild, he heard a sudden commotion in the hall. When he heard the word "magician", he stopped and looked towards the crowd.

"This recruitment notice is real. It was sent by Second Young Master Lachi's butler, Bagg! If there are any magicians among you, you can go to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and find the guards on duty. After explaining the recruitment matter clearly, they will take you to see Butler Bagg."

At this time, a staff member informed everyone of the authenticity of the recruitment notice.

"What a joke! If we were magicians, would we come here to accept quests? We would have gone to enjoy our lives long ago!"

Many mercenaries laughed in low voices after hearing what the staff said. It was obvious that those magicians were all noble beings and naturally would not appear here.

"Hey! Listen to me, Butler Bag said that they are recruiting magicians and don't care about their identities. Do you understand?"

The staff member looked at everyone meaningfully.

After a pause, he continued.

"You only have one chance. This recruitment mission will be invalid by tomorrow evening. This is a quota for auditors at the Higher Academy. If you pass the academy's certificate, you can go to the Magician Association or the Knight Association for certification."

"Even if you don't need this quota, you can resell it when the time comes. As for the price, you should have heard about it!"

After saying this, the staff member didn't say anything more, as he believed he had said enough.

Wow!

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the noise below suddenly became louder.

Everyone understood what the staff member meant.

They don't care about your identity, which means that even a wild mage can take on this recruitment task.

This is extremely rare, and it also explains why the recruitment information for recruiting magicians appears in the mercenary guild.

In addition, another focus of discussion is of course the quota for auditors.

…

"Five thousand gold coins?"

Gervis' eyes lit up.

Although he was confused most of the time, there was one thing he heard clearly.

That is, if this quota is sold, it will be worth at least 5,000 gold coins, and there are still a lot of people who want to buy it, so there is no need to worry about no one wanting it.

"Fortune and honor come from risk! Do it!"

After silently reciting the number of gold coins, Gervis became ruthless and walked out of the door of the Mercenary Guild directly!

He naturally didn't know that there was a difference between wild mages and certified mages in this world.

He was so serious just now because he had just escaped from the City Lord's Mansion with great difficulty last night, and now he had to run back on his own initiative.

There are still 11 chapters to go.
