Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

There are only two or three kittens in the guild hall, but most of them are paying attention to the task board. After seeing the blue font representing the S-level task, they all showed surprised expressions, and reflexively went to find another one above S-level. As expected, it was found that the progress of the task followed by it had been accepted.

It is self-evident who the recipient is.

At the same time, the quest system of the mercenary union updated the news synchronously, and all members of the mercenary union above the second level equipped with mission crystal plates saw it.

In this way, the name Xi Wei actually gained popularity on the mainland for the first time.

The task levels of the mercenary guild are divided in this way. S-level tasks are issued to the guild itself, and no additional hirers are required to complete them. SS-level tasks are issued to mercenaries, and sss-level tasks are issued by the guild. It doesn't matter much, just like the difference between picking one star from the sky and two stars.

It's difficult anyway.

After the mission was announced, Xi Wei silently looked at the relevant instructions for missions above S level. This is an exquisite booklet with few words on it and more patterns. The designer is very considerate and the text is easy to understand of.

The title page of the booklet introduces the origin of the division of tasks above S-level, but it is just a few pictures like comic strips. The general content is that in the last era, the founder of the mercenary union fought against the invasion of the demons by integrating the armed forces of the mainland. , Created such a system. At first, the task of the trade union was only to hunt and kill demons. Later, the demons retreated, but free organizations like the mercenary trade union remained and became one of the behemoths on the mainland.

And the release and acceptance of s-level missions, in the final analysis, is just a kind of goodwill.

The founder believes that if what a person wants to do is worth his own life in exchange, then as long as it is not harmful, he might as well help.

When people are desperate, it is conceivable how important this kind of selfless kindness is. After all, there are always some things in the world that are more important than life.

Therefore, this rule has been handed down, and many people call the founder a real good man.

Evan is obviously also familiar with this rule, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him, and it would have something to do with himself and his sister.

At the same time, he also felt regret and guilt. Regrettably, Xi Wei may die in an SSS-level mission in the near future. The guilty thing is that this incident may have happened because of Jonia, but Xi Wei did it for him. This paid the price of life.

Plague demons are also famous among demons. Let alone low-level warriors like Xi Wei, even ordinary gods may not be his opponents, and those that existed in the first era once sealed the plague The demon gods are long gone.

And in a small town next to the Nightmare Forest on the far western border, a brown-haired warrior-like man frowned and sat up from the bed, saying to himself, "Someone has accepted the task of sealing the plague demon. city?"

Then the man disappeared from the spot strangely.

The registrar is recording the changes in the mission. Tonight, a new S-level mission was born in his hands, which made his heart beat fast, and his palms were full of nervous sweat. He has been a registrar for many years. To be honest, Suddenly, I'm not sure if the process of the S-level mission is really like this, could it be a mistake?

He repeatedly looked at the registration form. It was a big deal to block Puluo City. If he made a mistake, his life would be over!

When the registrar was struggling like this, he felt as if there was a cold wind blowing in front of his forehead, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck. When he raised his head, a brown-haired young man suddenly appeared in front of him.

The registrar was taken aback, and stammered, "This... sir, what's the matter?"

The brown-haired youth put a purple badge on the table, and the registrar was immediately in awe. Purple badges can only be held at the level of union managers, and only those who have made major contributions and held some important positions can have them. , This young man looks young, but he is obviously a big man.

The young man said, "Tell me the latest news about the missions above S rank, and then bring the person who issued the new mission to me."

His tone was not overbearing, but because of his status, the registrar would also regard it as an imperial decree.

Xi Wei was studying the booklet carefully, and his paralyzed face couldn't tell whether he was afraid or not. The registrar muttered, what a weird person, he couldn't be a lunatic who came to have fun, right?

However, he still coughed to get Xi Wei's attention, and then said in a formulaic tone, "Junior mercenary Xi Wei, regarding the implementation details of the S-level mission you released, you need to confirm with our manager personally, I can register for you such a major event as the closure of the city, but I don't have the right to execute it."

Xi Wei nodded silently, put the booklet aside, got up and followed the registrar, but God knows, he didn't read anything just now, and his whole mind was empty.

Like everyone else, the brown-haired man looked up at the crystal panel on the ceiling and remembered something. The corner of his mouth slightly curved, softening his stern face a little.

The registrar came behind him respectfully, "Sir, the task issuer is here."

The man nodded to indicate that he understood, but when he turned around, he was still surprised by Xi Wei's youth. He didn't expect that the one who had such courage was actually a teenager who looked like a teenager, although the calm temperament of this boy was not like his age As it should be.

The brown-haired warrior waved his hand, and the hustle and bustle in the hall disappeared immediately. Xi Wei reflexively smelled the dangerous aura on this man, and felt trembling and fear involuntarily.

They are surrounded by a transparent energy field, isolating others, the brown-haired man raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling, "Do you know what the task of sealing the plague demon means?"

nod.

"Then Xi Wei, why do you want to block Puluo City? Even if such a big city is blocked for one day, the impact will be huge."

Xi Wei looked at him without dodging, "Can't the mercenary union abide by the rules you set?"

The brown-haired man choked. He didn't expect that Xi Wei's words would make Xi Wei feel that the union could not do it. In fact, he was just curious. He wanted to see who was going to take the sss-level task. He didn't expect it to be a very A weak boy, it seems that he didn't come here to complete the task.

Thinking that this young man will die in the near future, it seems that there is still a little regret, but rules are rules, and rules are not set for breaking.

So the man said sternly, "Of course not, but you have to tell me the reason for closing the city, otherwise the trade union will not be able to explain to Pu Luo City, and if it is something that is against the law, then it is not in compliance with the rules, and the trade union can refuse. "

Xi Wei paused for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his words, "There is a child who disappeared and was kidnapped. They cannot be let out of the city."

"your child?"

His child?Thinking of a certain little guy who has been yelling Baba persistently for five years, Xi Wei still nodded and admitted.

The brown-haired man inquired carefully about what happened, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he waved away the energy field that isolated the surroundings, and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days, as for sss It is a task at the top level, wait for the notification, when you are notified, go there."

Early the next morning, some residents of Puluo City were surprised to find that they were unable to leave the city. When they asked the guards guarding the city, they also looked confused. They didn't realize it until they found the notice posted on the city gate.

An aunt carrying a vegetable basket shook her head, "It's really a crime, it seems that I can't eat bamboo shoots outside the city today."

There are still many such arguments, but most of them are anger towards terrorists. Dare to kidnap people in the Holy City, it is simply audacious!

Unknowingly, all the residents of Puluo City began to pay attention to the suspicious person, to see who it was, so frantic.

In the dark underground passage, Gal paced irritably, "I knew this woman, Belle, was troublesome. How could the task she gave be so easy? She is waiting for us here."

"Lyon" admired his crazy look for a while, and suggested, "It seems that this child caused the closure of the city. His Highness Evan doesn't have such great energy now. Why don't we return this child and everything will be solved easily. .”

Gal's eyes were gloomy, "Miss Lilith, aren't you a space magister, why can't you even go out of the city?"

Lilith smiled slightly, "Puro City is called the holy city, so there is a reason for it. Since the city is closed, no one can pass through its sealing magic circle unless it is a god. Wouldn't it be a joke to close the city?"

Gal clenched his fists angrily by her indifference, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous considering that Lilith was the leader of this operation. He could only curse viciously in his heart that the duke's illegitimate daughter would never get the family's favor. recognized.

After a brief silence, Lilith said, "Anyway, let's contact Bai Lier first, and see if the future Holy Maiden of Light has any good ideas."

Princess Jonia and Kino, who were trapped in the darkness, were still groping in the dark. Because she was extremely tired, Jonia instinctively hugged the only heat source around her and passed out. Be clear about what you're saying.

Kino opened his eyes. Even though he couldn't see anything, he didn't want to close them. After all, Jonia could fall asleep as a fragile young magician. upset.

He didn't believe it, the other party took all the effort to bring the two of them here just to let them ferment here, and then waited for a few years to find out, ah, there are two skeletons here.

Sure enough, after one night, Kino felt that the place where they were was changed from the original dullness to a little bit of air flow, and then the female magician's neutral voice sounded, "Oh, the little sister is energetic and has been Didn't sleep?"

Kino opened his mouth and decided to follow her words, "Sister, where is this place? Why is it so dark all the time? I'm afraid of the dark, so I can't sleep."

Then he reached out and rubbed his eyes, and shrank into Jonia's arms as if he was so tired and too scared to sleep.

There was a trace of pity in Lilith's eyes. I don't know what will happen to this poor "little girl" if she falls into the hands of Bai Lier. However, they must abide by the agreement and hand over Chino to Bai Lier, otherwise this trip will not only be in vain. If you run away, you may take your own life.

Thinking of this, Lilith became ruthless and made way for Bai Lier behind her, exposing Kino to this future saint of light.

Bai Lier stretched out her hands impatiently and picked up Kino by the collar. After a closer look, she found that there was nothing special about it. How could she impress her father and ask him to accept this inexplicable little devil as an apprentice? ?

Lilith said, "Miss Bailier, man, I have already handed it over to you, when can we arrange for us to leave the city?"

Bai Lier held Kino in her hand, and she didn't show any difficulty. Obviously, she was a master of both magic and martial arts. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said impatiently, "Let's do it tonight, I'll take this brat away."
