Although mages, mercenaries and thieves have their own orthodox guilds, the common profession covering a wide range of common guilds has become the one with the most communication and tasks among many guilds. Many people even gave up their guilds to inquire about intelligence and accept tasks here.

In the evening, there were almost no people in the crowded adventure guild hall during the day. Instead, there were several wretched men standing at the door. They were all local gangsters, who were specifically squatting here to find some old, weak, sick and disabled clients to start, and rob the commissions used to pay for tasks. Because the backer behind these gangsters, Cohen Jaladi, is the son of the nobles. Not only are they familiar with the security team, but even some officials stayed away from him. To some extent, the acquiescence of these gangsters made the behavior of these gangsters increasingly rampant.

"Master Cohen." A middle-aged man with scars on his face respectfully bowed to the young man in gorgeous clothes, but he was wondering what it was. It was worth a trip to him, who had always been above the top.

"You guys are a little more restrained recently." Cohen's appearance was pretty, but his groggy eyes destroyed the beauty of his facial features and exposed the master's cruel personality.

"Is it necessary to change the mayor?" There was a similar situation in the past, and the rogue leader Amod speculated so much. The current acting mayor is Cohen's father. If the capital sends new officials, the situation for Mivira will be...

"No, the adventurer exam is only once every three years and is chosen to be held in Mivela." Cohen is not worried about the life and death of these hooligans. The adventurer exam is only held once every three years. Although it is just an ordinary screening talent, because the three major guilds have been secretly competing in recent years, the invigilators are all well-known characters. If the gang of gangs affiliated with him during the exam cause any trouble, they will be involved in themselves and the entire family.

"It's too sudden. Don't you need to notify half a year in advance?" Amod was not stupid either. When Cohen mentioned the adventurer exam, he immediately understood the hints hidden in it.

"I heard it was a temporary decision..." Cohen narrowed his eyes and his eyes were fixed on the figure that had just walked out of the corner of the street. That was exactly the purpose of his personal trip today.

Victor Wood... This kid is really lucky!

As a nobleman, Cohen did not do his job like an ordinary playboy. With a little magical talent, he chose an alchemist as a deputy other than a nobleman. Before Victor appeared, Mivira's first alchemy apprentice was always the one he won. The boy from Yamamura, who was named a genius, made Cohen ranked second in the next five years, which made him very unhappy.

When Cohen thought that Victor had only one tongue missing when he was attacked, his anger gradually increased. He didn't know who invited the idiot killer but didn't kill anyone.

The lich walked quickly on the deserted street. After leaving the Alchemy Courtyard, it did not take much time, and based on Wood's memory, it found the adventure guild located in the west of the town. It glanced over the group of people standing next to the guild gate, and realized that it was full of bad gazes. It did not want to cause trouble, and it walked directly into the empty guild hall. Its unsightly attitude angered the hooligan led by Amod.

"Master Cohen, don't you teach this kid a lesson? Look at his arrogant look, I don't take you seriously at all." Amod knew the owner's likes and dislikes, and pretended to go and repair Victor, who left only a back, but in fact he didn't dare to do it himself. He had been ordered to send people to deal with poor boys without background. As his subordinates were beaten one by one, Amod gradually understood that no matter how many hooligans like them could win over those who had obtained mage qualifications in a head-on confrontation, no matter how many hooligans like them could win against people who had obtained mage qualifications in a head-on confrontation.

"I just want to test how much ability he has. Don't do extra things." The mage without a tongue would not do anything else. Thinking of this, Cohen's mood gradually improved. If the subsequent temptation proves that Victor is already a useless person, then he can let go and deal with this poor boy who has repeatedly embarrassed himself.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After a rough glance at the layout of the entire hall, Victor walked towards the item area and finally stood in front of a large cabinet filled with various items needed for adventure.

Hearing the footsteps, the dozing old man opened his eyes and saw the young man in a robe pointing to the short stick in the cupboard.

"Fifty silver coins, sir." A flash of light in his eyes, the old man opened the cabinet and took out the convenient tool "tongue stick" designed for the tongueless.

Special fluorescent ore can maintain the words written using them. The spell attached to the stick will cause the words written to be refracted at multiple angles, and no matter which direction you look at them, they will always appear positive.

Taking advantage of Wood's savings without any worries, Victor raised his tongue stick and waved it gently, leaving a red afterimage in the air.

Is this the tongue stick? Not bad...it's a convenient invention. This is the lich's evaluation of the most important invention in the middle world in recent decades.

"Hello."

The young woman in charge of the task contact in the bounty area smiled politely, and the white top was embroidered with the words "Vina".

[I want to take a task, simpler.]

The tongue stick drew a series of elegant characters in the air. After a female receptionist named Vina was slightly stunned, she quickly took out the information circulated among the guilds from the drawer.

"Please wait." After browsing the task at hand, Vina replied; "Davao Village recently discovered a strange disappearance. Not only the livestock in the village, but even several villagers were missing. Because of this, the vendors took a detour and the village chief took out 500 silver coins as a reward, hoping that the guild could find a bounty hunter for them who could resume communication with external materials."

Noting what the young man was wearing on his chest, Vina slowed down her tone again.

It was a badge made of mitral silver, with forked lightning surrounding a circle of crystal-like reliefs, indicating that the holder was a mage and was a major in the Qi system. Being able to become a genuine mage at this age is enough to be named a genius even if it is not a powerful person.

"This task was only launched yesterday. No one has answered it yet. Do you want to choose it?"

I just hung it yesterday...

Victor's fingers holding the tongue stick paused slightly.

[Nothing else?]

"Yes, but they are all high-level tasks. If you don't mind, you can wait for a day or two..." The implication is that only officially registered adventurers and bounty hunters can take it.

Just as Vina was embarrassed, the noise at the door suddenly rose to a new level. When Victor turned his head, he saw the hooligans teasing a young man, and the dirty words floated into the hall with their teasing.

Cohen couldn't help sneering when he noticed Victor's turn of sight.

He knew Wood too much. He was obviously a poor boy with no background, but he always liked to show a pitiful sense of justice. Every time he encountered a noble and oppressed a civilian, he had to take care of him regardless of whether he had the ability or not.

Cohen pointed at Amod and pointed at the girl who was about to hide in the guild hall. The gangster leader immediately understood it. Amod gestured to the younger brother beside him, and they immediately surrounded him and surrounded the girl who was alone. One of the gangsters stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm that was half his arm. He knocked off the greasy palm that was stretched out to him. The girl pushed open the door of the Adventure Guild, looked around in horror, and finally frozen on Victor. She ran to the only male in the hall, her big eyes were full of expectation and helplessness.

"Save me..."

The lich looked down at the girl who asked for help from him, and there was no emotional fluctuation in her green eyes.

"I live in the nearby village of Davao and come to Mivela to buy medicine for my sick father, but those hooligans..." Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by a burst of rapid footsteps.

"Stupid girl, dare to hit me, see if I won't break your hand!" The gangsters chased in, their faces full of fierceness. Among these people, only one of them dressed differently from the gangsters around them. The luxurious clothes showed that their family was rich at a glance. From Wood's memory, Victor found the reason why the puppet corpse it controlled felt "familiar" - Cohen Jaladi, a famous family in the town.

The lich locked his eyes on the gangster who took action first, and the swollen back of his hand made an undetectable light flash in his eyes. Then it raised the tongue stick in his hand and wrote quickly and smoothly in the air.

[She doesn't seem to want to go with you.]

"I heard that our genius was just injured. It is not good to force ourselves to act as a messenger of justice, and it will aggravate the injury." Cohen's provocative voice sounded, cheering for him was the sneer of the gangster.

[Just a minor injury.]

Compared with the silence in the past, such words made Cohen feel even more angry. He suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to regain a game in language: "Is that right? I hope you don't force it too much. Jingyao Academy has clear regulations to not accept tongueless people."

[Then you should also know that ordinary rules do not apply to geniuses.]

"You... don't be too proud." The arrogant answer made Cohen's forehead bulge, and he raised his hand and shook the ring storming the spells. A fireball about the size of a human head rushed straight towards Victor not far away with the scorching high temperature.

Seeing this scene, Vina screamed and cried down and quickly entered the stone table made of anti-magic material. Fighting happens frequently in the Adventure Guild like the alcoholic fights in a tavern. Therefore, in order to protect the receptionists of ordinary people, the Adventure Guild has equipped a special table that can withstand low-level magic and ordinary strength weapons.

Victor stretched out his left hand calmly, and his index finger and middle finger were like a sharp blade, cutting the flame spell that hit his face directly. The spell was cracked, but the wooden chair placed nearby was hit by the disaster. The fireballs cut in half deviated from the track, hitting two rows of wooden chairs one left and one right. The violent combustion made the entire hall full of choking black smoke, and the culprit who caused all this was dazed at this time.

Cohen knew that Wood was a spell genius, and because of his father's warning, he had never fought with Wood head-on. But he really didn't expect that this kid was so powerful. Although he knew in his heart that he was not an opponent, Cohen didn't want to give up. In the end, he wanted to use the power of his family to save the victory.

"Do you want to meddle in other people's business, Wood?"

[It was just fulfilling the obligation, because I had just received the lady's commission.] Victor untied the mage badge on his chest and handed it to the female receptionist who had half a head poked out from under the table to observe the situation.

Vina was both afraid and hesitant. When her eyes touched the green eyes, her hands were out of control. Not only did she take the Misilian badge, she also quickly dripped it in a special magic potion, and under the heavy pressure of the task table. In an instant, Victor Wood and a row of translucent luminous fonts floated up from the task table in Davao Village.

Putting the badge back on his chest, the lich ignored Cohen, who was staring at him, and took the girl he saved to leave the adventure guild. As soon as the figures of the two disappeared from the hall, the minions beside him immediately started to yell in dissatisfaction.

"Master Cohen, this kid clearly doesn't take you seriously."

"How about getting the security team to teach him a lesson?"

"That's right, let him know what happened to you after offending you, Master."

"Stop it! You guys can't help you any food! You can't even stop people!" Cohen stared at the direction of Victor's departure, and his eyes were getting more and more vicious. His father's warning kept echoing in his mind, and finally, anger defeated reason.

"Go to the Shadow Guild to find two people for me. I don't want to see that brat again in the future."

"Where is the woman?" Amode suppressed his smile. The eldest young master said he should not cause trouble, but secretly sent someone to get rid of that boy. It was really a double standard...

"Kill them together. They need to be quick and easy, and the price doesn't matter." Thinking of the adventurer exam that will be held in three days, Cohen explained again: "It's better to pretend to be attacked by monsters. I don't want to be scolded by my father."

Thinking of his father, even the domineering Cohen couldn't help but shudder. After the incident of sending a thug was discovered a few times, he was not only scolded but also beaten. I hope that killing Wood this time will not make him furious.

Amod watched Cohen, who had left in a hurry, immediately turned his eyes when his figure disappeared, and his cold eyes shot directly at Vina, who was still hiding behind the counter.

"You know what to do." There is a very obvious threat in the simple and clear words.

Vina hurriedly tore off the page recording Victor's mission from the thick task list and threw it onto the burning wooden chair nearby. The open flame quickly ignited the rough parchment, turning into a pile of charred ashes in Amod's grin.

The top leaders of the Adventure Guild would not have a quarrel with the nobles for her, a small employee. In this small town, no one can compete with the power of the Jaladi family.
