Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

"Junior mercenary badge." Unconsciously, Chino quickly covered his mouth and glanced at Xi Wei. Fortunately, the protagonist seemed to be lost in thought and didn't notice the little one's abnormality.

The mercenary badges are very recognizable. The primary level is gold, the intermediate level is silver, and the high level is purple. The pattern is the same with two crossed swords.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Wu, a ten-year-old girl, to have thought of and obtained this badge. It seemed that Xi Lun had given it to her.

The mercenary union is the largest union in the Red Moon Continent. It is a free organization. Anyone can join as long as they want. Of course, they need to pay a commission of one gold coin.

Xi Wei often heard about this trade union, and he often passed by the branch in Yesa City, but the threshold of one gold coin would keep homeless people like Xi Wei out.

If you can become a mercenary, it is equivalent to having half a job. At least, you don't need to worry about being hungry every day. This is indeed a very exciting choice.

But why did Siron help them like this?Is there really good intentions for no reason in this world?

Xi Wei hesitated, wondering if he should trust that weird man.

Kino really hoped that the protagonist would accept it. Becoming a mercenary would free them from their current situation. They could rely on their labor in exchange for food, so they would no longer have to go to the trash can to beg for a living.

The mercenary union has a variety of tasks, ranging from finding missing cats to challenging dragons, there is always one that suits you.

Xi Wei carried the box and walked out of the cabin. If he wanted to, just let go of his hand, and the not-so-delicate elementary badge would fall into the water, splashing a small wave, and this matter could be regarded as not happening. Pass.

Kino stumbled out following him, pulling the protagonist's trouser leg with one hand, trying to pull the protagonist back.

The little force on the leg was really insignificant, but it managed to make Xi Wei stop in his tracks. He lowered his head to look at the bright and flattering little one, who still had sugar in his mouth, and his mouth squirmed. He was still tilting his head habitually.

Xi Wei couldn't let go of his fingers. Finally, he put away the badge as if in compromise, picked up the little boy's head and walked out.

The mercenary union is very lively with people coming and going. Most of the people here are rough and don't dress gorgeously, but it is enough to make all the refugees and beggars jealous and feel inferior.

Xi Wei stood quietly not far from the gate of the mercenary union, hesitant to take a step. For humans, this is only a few steps away, but for Xi Wei, this is another kind of distance. In life, no matter how precocious a child is, he will feel uneasy and fearful about it. This is human nature.

The protagonist has not yet cultivated to the state where all poisons do not invade everything and does not haunt the mind. It is normal to hesitate and hesitate. Kino is even relieved by this. Although the protagonist who is cruel to the end is also very cute, it is obvious that the current protagonist is better To get along and get closer, Kino hoped that Xi Wei would live as a person instead of being alone as a god.

From where they stand, they can roughly see the scene of the mercenary union hall. There are several counters like bank counters distributed in three directions. The samurai, and occasionally a few strong women, were discussing something enthusiastically.

Kino tugged on Xi Wei's collar to bring Xi Wei back from his contemplation.

Finally, Xi Wei walked towards the bright and beautiful gate that was incompatible with their tattered appearance.

"Charles, when are you going to hand in your task list?" The hot Nami slapped the table in front of the bearded burly man Charles, scaring Charles half sober.

Charles laughed and rubbed his hands to bargain, "Oh, lovely Nami, you are more beautiful today than yesterday, as for the damn task list, can you write it for me, oh no, can you make me two hours late?" Good luck?"

There was a smile on Nami's beautiful face. Before Charles could be happy, he was kicked on the ground by the beauty's slender legs, and the stool he was sitting on was also overturned. "Charles, I warn you, your task list has been delayed. It’s been a week, and if you don’t pay it, your contribution points will be deducted.”

Charles suddenly woke up from the wine, and screamed in his mouth, "Wait, wait, pay tomorrow, I will definitely pay tomorrow!"

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, obviously this was not the first time this had happened.

Nami snorted, clapped her hands and returned to one of the counters to sit down.

Not long after sitting down, a dirty little hand raised a golden badge in front of Nami, then gently placed it on the table and retracted it.

Nami was taken aback, but there was no one in front of her eyes. The baffle in front of the counter of the Mercenary Union was very high, probably reaching the chest position of an ordinary adult man. She stood up, only to see a ten-year-old child standing outside the counter , he was dressed in tatters, and his body was very thin. His short black hair covered his eyes, so he couldn't see his face clearly. It was surprising that such a small child was still holding a little one in his hands.

This little guy is even more funny, but he looks cute and attractive, but there is no hair on the top of his head, and he is wearing a half-length dress with only a top left, neither fish nor fowl is enough to describe it.

Nami paused for a moment before remembering her responsibilities, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xi Wei's answer was very simple, "Come be a mercenary."

There was a trace of confusion on Nami's beautiful face. She hesitated and took a look at the badge on the counter. It seemed that it was indeed true, so she sat down again and began to register information, "Number 1008610010, what is it called?"

The little beggar hung his head, what is his name, what is his name?The name has been forgotten for too long, and after finally finding those two words from the depths of memory, Xi Wei hesitated, "Xi Wei."

Nami couldn't see his expression through the counter baffle. After writing down the name, she praised, "Xi Wei, it's the name of the elf tree. It's a good name. Can you write? Come and sign it."

Xi Wei shook his head, then remembered that the woman behind the counter couldn't see, so he said, "I can't write."

Nami was obviously not surprised by this answer. She nodded and stood up again and handed Xi Wei a registration form, pointing to the lower right corner and saying, "Just press a fingerprint."

Xi Wei did not move for a long time.

Nami urged in confusion, "Hurry up, I'm busy,"

The little beggar gritted his teeth and stared at the thin piece of paper, as if it was not a registration form, but a contract of prostitution.

Xi Wei even had an urge to run away immediately, but the hunger in his belly and the "burden" in his arms stopped him. Xi Wei adjusted his posture holding the child, bit his finger, and lay heavily on the ground. Press on the snow-white registration paper.

Nami, who was holding the ink pad in her hand, was stunned again.

After receiving the unusual registration form, Nami still couldn't recover, looked at Xi Wei strangely for a while, and then put away the registration form.

"and many more."

Nami turned her head, brushed her brown wavy long hair, and gave Xi Wei a wink, "Is there anything else, handsome boy?"

Her actions were purely teasing, and did not mean to seduce or indulge. Xi Wei could feel it, so he just said bluntly, "Mission."

Nami was surprised, "Just after registering, you will accept the task?"

Xi Wei didn't answer, so Chino repeated it for him, "Mission."

The little girl's serious appearance made Nami cover her mouth and giggle, and then began to rummage through the tasks.

Kino was actually a little nervous. Originally, according to the development of the story of "Cursed", Xi Wei should have been able to replace another person's identity and join the Mercenary Guild by chance at the age of 16, but now because of the coincidence of encountering Scar Man and Xiao Wu, unexpectedly Accidentally changed.

So he didn't know how much impact such a change would have.

From a certain point of view, it is a good thing. If Xi Wei's life trajectory starts to change from now on, then the future development is not impossible to change.

All kinds of reliable and unreliable plans were running in Kino's mind. Thinking of the excitement, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.

While Nami was flipping through the tasks, Charles leaned over to make friends with Xi Wei, "Hey, new here? Are you interested in joining our Wind Wolf Mercenary Group?"

Before Xi Wei could reply, a folder hit Charles on the head with a "slap", and Charles held his head and begged for mercy, "Oh, dear Nami, can you be gentle, the team leader says I'm getting more and more stupid .”

Nami put her hands on her hips, "If you talk too much, I will let you hand in the task list now."

Charles froze as soon as he heard the task list, and made a gesture of closing his mouth.

Nami rolled his eyes at him, bent down and picked up the folder and handed it to Xi Wei, "Little handsome guy, I think you are too young to take on the adventure mission, here is a long-term mission, to help a cat bathe every week, the cat's The owner's eyes are not very convenient, so he needs to hire someone to complete it, can you take it?"

Xi Wei nodded silently. For him, there were not many choices, not to mention, bathing the cat is not too difficult, is it?

Seeing that he agreed, Nami handed him another note, "You can't read, handsome guy, so let me tell you the address first, the employer lives at No. 72 Louvre Street, the address is written on the note, if you can't find it Just take the note and ask someone for directions."

Xi Wei looked at this charming woman with cold eyes, finally took the note, and asked stiffly, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Nami was surprised and said, "What are you doing? I don't need you to do anything, you just need to complete the task well. By the way, remember to hand in the task form." After speaking, she patted Xi Wei on the shoulder.

Xi Wei's whole body was stiff, and the moment the woman patted his shoulder, he couldn't dodge at all.

When Xi Wei left, Charles leaned over again with a shy face, "Nami, what's so special about this kid that he deserves your attention?"

Nami sneered, "Is the badge that Mr. Siren personally applied for him special enough? Don't make up his mind. He is not something we can provoke."

Only then did Charles suddenly realize that he scratched his hair, thankful that he didn't go crazy just now.

Besides, Xi Wei, after leaving the mercenary union, he went straight to Louvre Street. Louvre Street is next to the water, and there is only a row of houses by the river. The environment here is clean and tidy, which is very different from the rental house Xi Wei lived in when he was a child.

The number 72 is actually very easy to find. Even if Xi Wei is illiterate, it is not difficult to find it by looking at the handwriting on the note. You just have to look at the house number one by one.

The employer lived in a small private courtyard, very quiet, hardly like a place in Ye Sacheng.

Xi Wei stood at the door, carefully confirmed that the address was correct, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened a bit slowly, and it took a long time before the boy's voice came, "Are you here to bathe the cat?"

Xi Wei lowered his head and lowered his voice, "Yes sir, the mission received by the Mercenary Union."

The door opened with a "squeak".

A shy boy stood inside the door, but his eyes were blank and out of focus.

He said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, my eyes are not very convenient, and I walk slowly."

Of course Xi Wei wouldn't care if the young man made things difficult on purpose, even if they were, the little things that made things difficult were really insignificant.

The boy quickly led them into the house, and Kino looked around, but he didn't see the golden cat, so he didn't know where it was.

Holding a crutch in his hand, the young man poked around on the ground, groped to sit down on the chair, and then said shyly, "Kaka ran out to play, and will be back in a while, please sit down for a while. "

Xi Wei nodded, and put Kino on the ground. Kino looked at the young man's blank eyes, feeling sorry for him, and thought that he would not be blind one day. Although there is the protagonist, the blindness will definitely be cured. But even for a short while it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Then he occultly covered his right eye and walked a few steps in place, and sure enough, he hit the leg of the table because he lost his sense of direction.

The young man showed surprise, "Can't you see it too?"
