The lady at the counter was also quite surprised when she saw Fang Zheng and his group appear.
"Sir Knight, Miss Priestess, you are back? Where have you been all this time?"
"Find a place to train them."
"indeed……"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the lady at the counter carefully observed the priestess and others around him.
"Indeed... You look more like adventurers than before. Where did you go?"
"The deepest maze, stayed there for a few days..."
“There?!”
Hearing this, even the receptionist was surprised. Although she had never been there, she had heard about the rumors about the deepest maze. Unlike ordinary missions, the deepest maze was like hell for adventurers. In such a place, it was not only easy to get lost, but also impossible to get supplies.
Nowadays, as adventurers have become increasingly professional, few people go to such places to challenge themselves.
After all, people become adventurers more to support their families than to die.
"No wonder everyone's spirits look different."
While muttering to herself, the counter lady carefully looked at the girls around Fang Zheng. She had never seen Aisi, so it was hard to say, but the priestess and Huihui, the counter lady, knew. If they looked like rookies before, now, they all had the aura of real adventurers.
Unfortunately, almost no one does this now.
The lady at the counter had heard from many old adventurers that a long time ago, when the Adventurer's Guild was first established, the way the old birds led the newcomers was to go around the deepest maze, and as long as they came out of it, they would be qualified adventurers. However, now with the increasingly standardized rules and regulations of the guild, and the different concepts of adventurers, such people are basically no longer seen.
What she didn't expect was that Fang Zheng, who was so young, actually knew how to use such an "old-fashioned" method.
"So, are you here to take on a mission?"
"Yes, accept this mission."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng placed a commission on the table.
"The caravan's... escort? This takes a lot of time."
"It's okay. We know."
Fang Zheng wanted a commission that took time. You should know that this kind of commission is actually not popular in the Adventurer's Guild. Because adventurers usually have their own range of activities, just like animals with territories. It is very dangerous to rashly walk out of their own territory and go to other places for adventure. But the caravans traveled through mountains and rivers and often went to some distant places.
This is what adventurers really don't like.
Not only was it a waste of time, but the money was also very small, and no one knew what dangers they would encounter on the road. Bandits were not bad, and goblins were also to be expected, but what if they encountered trolls, snowmen, or even Asian dragons?
This is beyond the scope of work!
This kind of job with little pay, lots of work and random levels of danger is probably what adventurers are most reluctant to do.
But for Fang Zheng, none of this matters. All he wants is to travel a long distance!
"Then, Sir Knight, will you go as well?"
“I follow behind, but I don’t participate.”
After this period of training, Fang Zheng felt that the three girls were almost ready to go out on a mission. In fact, the priestess would be leading the team this time - after all, Huihui was a middle school student and Ais was a natural, so the priestess was the only one who could be responsible for communicating with others.
Fang Zheng just needs to follow behind and watch.
"I see."
The lady at the counter took the feather pen and quickly wrote down the relevant information.
"Then I wish you all a safe and speedy return."
After accepting the mission, the priestess took Huihui and Aisi to the caravan for the handover, while Fang Zheng followed them - nominally he was also a member of the team, but Fang Zheng had promised not to take action along the way.
The caravan's escort mission was boring. They didn't have the same luck as a cursed thief, and they didn't encounter a lot of troubles. Only once did they encounter a group of wild wolves while camping, and they were directly blown into roasted pieces by Huihui's explosion magic... This also greatly increased Huihui's reputation in the caravan, but for Fang Zheng, looking at the complacent Huihui, he could only sigh.
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng received a call from Maine.
"You want to take your parents and sister to other worlds as well?"
Looking at the girl in the picture before him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, while Myne nodded.
"Yes, I think so..."
Compared to Fang Zheng, Mei Yin, who also traveled through time and space and reincarnated, had a miserable life. Although her family was a city resident, they were not even well-off and could only make ends meet. Not to mention, the civilization of this world was not very developed. People like Mei Yin, who were at the bottom of society, still wore wooden shoes.
This is still considered good. In places like slums, people are barefoot and have no shoes to wear.
Maine's parents and sister have lived in this world since they were born, so they take it for granted. But for a girl from a middle-class family in modern society who has enough food and clothing, a mobile phone and a computer, and can go out to eat at restaurants anytime and anywhere, this is completely unacceptable.
This world has no toilets, not even toilet paper. Books are not affordable for ordinary people. Moreover, the social status of common people is low, even lower than that of merchants. The nobles can do whatever they want to them. For Maine, this world is simply hell...
Of course, if she had to live like this, she would grit her teeth and persevere. But Fang Zheng's appearance gave her a second choice, which immediately made Mei Yin excited.
"I don't want to abandon my parents like Kaguya-hime did. Although... I'm not very familiar with them, I can feel that they really love me..."
"So you're taking them to the moon with you?"
Hearing what Maine said, Fang Zheng chuckled. He had also heard the story of Princess Kaguya. An old couple found a baby in a bamboo and raised it up. It became a rare beauty in the area. Because of this, many nobles came to propose marriage, but in the end Princess Kaguya was taken back by the messenger from the moon... Well, her parents stayed on Earth.
This is indeed somewhat similar to Maine.
"May I?"
"That's fine with me, but how are you going to explain it to them?"
Fang Zheng stared at Myne and spread his hands. He was alone in his reincarnation and didn't have to worry about these trivial matters at all, but the Myne in front of him was obviously different from him.
"According to what you said before, this is considered possession, right? How are you going to tell them? In fact, your daughter is already dead, and you are the soul from another world that has taken over her body?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Maine hesitated.
"Also, you should know that modern society is different from this world. If your parents go to that world, how will they survive? They can't read the words of the modern world, nor do they understand the rules and laws of modern society. How will they live? Make money to support the family? Have you ever thought about these?"
"This... I really haven't thought about it..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Mei Yin lowered her head in frustration, but it was no wonder. Before her rebirth, she was just a female college student who spent all day in the library. In other words, she had not experienced the harsh social conditions such as graduation and job hunting, so she naturally thought things would be simpler.
"It doesn't matter. There's still plenty of time. Take your time to think about it."
Fang Zheng chatted with Mei Yin for a few more words before closing the connection. Mei Yin would chat with him every day recently. After all, the two time travelers could be considered to be in the same boat... But at least Fang Zheng was better than Mei Yin. After all, he had not time traveled to a weak and sickly little girl.
That's really miserable.
If I were to travel through time and space and be reborn as a little girl like this... Tsk tsk tsk, Fang Zheng shuddered at the mere thought of it.
Although cultists are a bit troublesome, they are better than little girls anyway.
"My Lord Knight."
Just as Fang Zheng was sighing, the priestess came running over.
"What's wrong?"
"It's like this. We just met the caravan ahead and got some information... They said... It's not safe ahead."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"What are the details?"
"I heard that there is a vampire wreaking havoc ahead. It is a terrifying monster with long silver-white hair and a bloody mouth... Many people have died at the hands of that vampire... The owner of the caravan hopes that we can continue to protect them and is willing to double the reward..."
This is normal. Putting aside the priestess and Ais, Huihui's explosion magic is truly golden class. Ordinary vampires can be destroyed with just one shot.
"So what are you going to do?"
"Well... I want to continue the mission. No matter what, this is the first mission since we formed the team, and we can't fail again..."
At this point, the priestess was somewhat unwilling to accept the fact. She had accepted two missions after becoming an adventurer. The first mission ended in a team wipe, and the second mission failed due to Lina Inbas's intrusion. Now that she finally had her own team, the priestess was eager to have a good start.
If this mission fails again, the priestess will probably suffer from psychological trauma.
"However, if the opponent is too strong, I hope that the Knight can help... In return, we can give you half of the reward."
"Um……"
After hearing what the priestess said, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted the priestess on the shoulder.
"Although my negotiation terms are still a little immature, they are more or less qualified. Don't worry, if that vampire is really troublesome... let me deal with it myself."
