Extras (5) - Dragonmare (11)

"Mr. Hunter, how can I help you?"

Kanban girls are not easy jobs, especially when the girls are in charge of the freelance hunter area. If there is no emergency situation for large hunting groups, they usually entrust the settlement on a monthly or quarterly basis and report directly to the hall manager. What will appear on the counter is often a small group of solo wanderers and undisciplined hunters. The girls spend nearly half of the day maintaining order, occasionally dealing with rude and even rude requests from hunters.

Anan has just settled the commission remuneration of a lone wanderer. The guy who paid the commission was undoubtedly a poor ghost, and the frost grass was not an expensive material, but the other party actually asked for the verification of the color of the trees one by one, lest there was a shortage of copper coins for him. The verification process was long and tedious, and the girl, although she tried her best to maintain her professional appearance throughout the whole process, had already wanted to yawn several times. After easily overwhelming the scheming hunters, Anan finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed lightly to the people at the back of the group.

"Homecoming." The person who came put the knife in his hand on the front desk, and his voice was full of undisguised exhaustion, "I need to fill out the form...... Or something? ”

The girl's expression was startled, and she raised her head to look at the hunter in front of her. The man was tall and emaciated, his face hidden behind a messy stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot. The hunter was dressed in a loose white armor, which even if it had been deliberately repaired, it did not fit properly—the waist of the skirt was so fat that it had to be forced to be tightened with hooks, and the cuffs were drooping down, and they were covered with large and small tears, which at first glance looked like they had been scrapped for a long time.

"Any questions?" The man scratched at his beard. Under his movements, there was a clanging sound of armor pieces colliding.

"Oh, I'm sorry—" Regardless of the hunter's image, Anan as a Kanban girl can't be treated differently. The girl knew that she was out of shape, and bowed again, only then did she put on a professional smile and said sweetly: "Congratulations to Mr. Hunter on his safe return, please wait-"

In addition to the voluntary notification of teammates, hunters who have neither paid the commission on time nor failed to declare the commission will be deemed "missing" by the union according to the difficulty of the commission. While the list of missing persons is published in the hall of the union, their hunting status will also be temporarily frozen. This move is to prevent fraudulent use of hunting records, and more to prevent hunters from taking advantage of the loopholes in the regulations to evade fines, or even run to another city to start over.

The Hunter World is full of dangers, and the more high-level commissions you have, the lower your chances of surviving after leaving your teammates. In fact, according to the union's data, more than 20% of the hunters who can return after disappearance can return on their own, and even fewer can return three days after leaving the team. Rao is Anan has to deal with hundreds of hunter affairs every day, but the man in front of her who came to unfreeze the hunting book is the first one she has had since this month.

The girl silently recalled the process in her mind, pulled out a large and heavy roster from under the table, and she laboriously opened the black cover of the book: "Excuse me, sir, is there a hunter's badge and a last power of attorney?" ”

"No, they were all lost during the battle."

"It's okay," Anan looked up and smiled, "In that case, can you recount the information related to the last commission?" The commission number, time and place, main content, and the person in charge of the supply camp are all good, and I will check them for you...... Oh yes, sir, what's your last name? ”

"The entrusted land is in the Ancient Forest, and I don't know if it's in the territory of the Lairak Kingdom." The hunter whispered a time, thought about it again, and reported a string of numbers, but cautiously did not mention the information related to the content of the commission, "My name is Bai Shao, these are enough, right?" ”

"Is it three months that long? Sir is really lucky. Anan sighed subconsciously as he flipped through the roster. As soon as the words came out, she realized that she was a little abrupt, the girl's cheeks turned red, she coughed to hide the embarrassment on her face, and her hands stopped at the same time: "Strange, I didn't see the number that Mr. said, are you sure you remember correctly?" ”

"Impossible-" Bai Shao leaned half of his body past the front desk, twisting his neck to look at the roster in Kanban Niang's hand, "During that time, there was only one commission of more than four stars in the ancient forest, and it should be easy to find." ”

"Sir, do you mean that the hunting registration you registered is four stars?" Anan flipped through a few more pages before he shook his head helplessly, "I'm sorry, in the records of the guild, there has been no record of the cancellation of high-level hunters in the ancient forest for half a year—wait, sir, you just said...... What's your name? ”

Without waiting to hear Bai Shao's answer, Anan slowly closed the roster, and the professional smile on his face disappeared. She straightened up and said in a cold voice, "This gentleman - I don't know your name, but this is the union hall, not a place to joke freely. There are still so many hunters behind you waiting to be delivered, please leave immediately, otherwise, I will maliciously disturb the order of the hall and let the Hunter Guardian invite you out. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Seeing that Kanban Niang's words didn't seem to be fake, the white-armored hunter panicked, "I just want to get my badge back!" What's going on? ”

"It's a violation of the rules of the union to take the hunting pass, and you have to insist on saying it in front of the guards?" In addition to the gloom in the girl's eyes, there was actually a bit of mockery.

"What do you say, I'm Bai Shao himself!" The hunter slapped his chest hard. The small commotion in front of the kanban caused the hunters around to look sideways, and the guards in the distance also noticed this, Bai Shao felt something in his heart and lowered his voice: "I can provide some information about the content of the commission, but I hope you can check it as soon as possible, I really need that badge." ”

"I know which commission you're talking about, but unfortunately, I don't have the authority to check it." Anan secretly said a bad word in his heart, today is probably his bad luck day, and the two hunters who have taken on it in a row are difficult characters.

"Why don't you just find someone with enough qualifications?" Ah Shao leaned his upper body towards the front desk, and his right hand slammed on the tabletop, and the long solid wood table shook for a while, stirring up pieces of sawdust, and actually fell into five shallow fingerprints. The hunter's brows furrowed, and the messy beard on his face trembled: "I don't care what you do, anyway, give me back that damn badge quickly!" ”

Seeing the hunter's sudden anger, the girl took a step back in horror, and she forced herself to settle down: "There are no more than five people in Golden Feather City who have this authority. Are we going to alarm the elders or the five-star hunters stationed there, just to satisfy your bad tastes? Listen, that's the end of the joke! If you really want to claim a hunting license, the next time you come back, remember to find an identity that is not so suspicious, and maybe there is hope for success. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Senior Bai Shao returned to the Hunter Ancestor three months ago, and this news is already well known in Scarlet's hunter circle." The kanban lady pointed to the other side of the hall, opposite the main hall door, and a tall picture more than five meters long was hanging. Bai Shao looked intently, the figure in the painting was tall and sturdy, wearing white armor, carrying a long sword, and his eyebrows and eyes were actually seven or eight points similar to his former self. He touched his nose, and the excitement in his heart was vented for three points: "I'll ...... So dead? ”

"Looking at your thin appearance, you still want to borrow the reputation of a hero?" Anan looked the man in white in front of him up and down. At this moment, Bai Shao has lost a lot of weight compared to before, and the breath of the whole person is also very sluggish, not to mention the four-star hunter with this down-and-out look, even if he is an ordinary low-level hunter, some people will secretly doubt, "If you want to pretend to be Bai Shao's predecessor's hunting register, at least you have to have that kind of capital——"

…………

Stepping into the union hall full of hope, when he came out again, Bai Shao seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and even his back was a little stiffer.

It has been nearly three months since he got out of the dragon graveyard, and the white-armored hunters easily rushed to the nearest town to Patin's village, but they couldn't successfully thaw the hunting book in the branch hall there - Lyrak's law is different from that of Scarlet, if he registers and returns in the other country, he can only be the hunter of Lyrak in this life, and he is at the disposal of the trade union of the neighboring country.

Three months have passed, and the Ancient Forest Hunting Ground still has not recovered from the trauma of the Plague of the Wrecked Dragon. There was chaos on the hunting grounds, and border trade and regular passenger airship routes were suspended. Bai Shao waited in Baiqi Town for several days, and did not go to the hunting ship of Locklac, but waited for a private airship to rush to Golden Feather City.

After disembarking, the white-armored hunter is penniless, and the Hunter badge is required as proof to receive the commission and hunter allowance, as well as information about the Dragonmare's companions. Bai Shao had never been so desperate to prove his identity, especially in this strange city, but at the moment it seemed hopeless.

Kanban Niang branded herself as a "troublemaker" in a few words, and he could only leave quickly before the guards were alarmed. Bai Shao had planned to forcibly draw out the hall steward on duty today, and maybe there was another opportunity, but all his calculations disappeared when he saw the portrait in the hall.

The white-armored hunter stopped in front of the pool in the hall square, and the sunlight was slightly slanting, and the union tower reflected a long shadow in the square, just obscuring the pool water. He looked down at himself on the water, and the person in the reflection had high cheekbones and a thin body, no longer familiar to him.
