With the end of the ban period, the major mercenary groups are busy again, and their goals are not much different - to run in new teams, and at the same time start missions as soon as possible to get paid. And Rod's starlight is naturally no exception, although in private he no longer needs to advance to the guild through points-grabbing tactics, but Rhodes also needs to run in and enhance the cohesion of the mercenary group through tasks, and if he takes 10,000 steps back, he also needs a reward to maintain the operation of the entire mercenary group, after all, Rod's money does not fall from the sky. Before, there were not many people in the mercenary group, and I couldn't see it, but now that there are so many people at once, Rod's financial resources are also a little tight.

So in Rod's mind, it's best to find a task that is more difficult, but not particularly dangerous, and at the same time pays a lot to do, but his requirements are a bit too high......

"Why do I think it's more lively than before?"

Standing in the hall of the Mercenary Association, looking at the noisy crowd not far away, Rhodes frowned. At this moment, those mercenaries are crowded in front of the bulletin board, looking for commissions or tasks that their mercenary group can complete, looking very chaotic. But this is also normal, after all, these mercenary groups have no financial resources, and some of them have long been poor because they have not received the task, and now they are finally starting again, of course they don't want to waste time.

However, because of the impact of the previous incident, now those mercenary groups have learned to behave, do not do tasks that are too dangerous, and never go to places that should not go, most of them take on some very ordinary tasks that are not too dangerous, and they also confirm with the client again or four times before taking the task to avoid approaching those dangerous areas. Most of the mercenary groups take on two-star missions, and even three-star missions are rarely done.

But this is naturally a good thing for Rod, because it means that there is no one to compete with him, so the only thing he needs to think about now is what to do.

As the number of mercenaries increased, Rhodes didn't think much about the tasks related to the undead. In the past, the number of mercenary groups was small, and the area that the spirit master could take care of was very large, but now there are more and more people in the mercenary group, and sometimes it is not a good thing to have too many people, especially when facing undead creatures. So this time Rhodes stopped thinking about the undead, and began to plan to take on some more normal commissions again.

"Huh?"

But at this time, Rhodes saw a gold trim on the top of the bulletin board. It looks like a bright entrustment announcement, and you can clearly see a golden balance on it.

The hallmark of the Church?

The church in the Dragon Soul Continent is different from what people imagine, they do not worship a single god, but choose to maintain faith and spirit. On the Dragon Soul Continent, whether it is in the region where the Dragon Soul of Light is located, or where the Dragon Soul of Night is located. All churches are under the jurisdiction of the twin dragons of the kingdom of law, and the doctrine promoted by the church is to promote good, eradicate evil, respect for one another, and be fair and just. And the main responsibility of the church is to fight the devil, eradicate the devil, and represent the notary. In many cases, the church in the Dragon Soul Continent plays a role similar to that of a notary office, whether it is a transaction between merchants. Whether it was a political agreement between the nobility, or a treaty signed between countries, they were responsible for supervising and enforcing it. Therefore, as long as the treaty is signed in the church, there is generally no need to worry that the other party will break its promise.

And the country of law does not exert any influence on politics with the help of religion like the Vatican on the earth, perhaps because the supreme rulers of the church originally belonged to one of the five dragons of creation, and their identity was placed there, so in most areas, they were still very respected. Moreover, the State of Law never intervenes in disputes between States. In the game. This move by the Law Country also caused the displeasure of the Radiant Dragon Parliament. Because they didn't give the necessary assistance to the Dragon Kingdom of Light when the Night Dragon Kingdom invaded. As for the complaints of the parliament, the country of France replied that it was a normal war between countries. And since it was a normal war, there was no need for them to participate——— it was obvious that the Kingdom of Law did not consider the Night Dragon Kingdom to be evil, so there was no need for them to launch an attack on the Night Dragon Kingdom. In fact, the definition of evil in the country of law is not the same as what ordinary people think, in the eyes of many people, killing people and setting fires is evil, but in the eyes of the country of law and the church, it can only be regarded as a crime, but it has nothing to do with evil. In their teachings, evil refers to the existence of destroying order and bringing chaos, so even if the Night Dragon Kingdom launches an invasion war against the Light Dragon Kingdom, as long as they are still responsible for ruling the occupied territory, then it does not matter whether they treat the people there as subjects or slaves and the Law Kingdom, because the order still exists, then they will not do anything. On the contrary, if they disrupt the order, then the country of law will immediately and without hesitation. …,

In addition to maintaining order on the mainland, the country of law is most concerned about re-ordering those areas that have not yet become places of order, and they always send priests, bishops and even knights to those areas in the land of chaos from time to time to help the residents there resist and tide over the threat of chaos, and at the same time expand the land of order, expelling chaos is the primary goal of the country of law and the church.

In the middle of the game, when the player opens up their territory, the Kingdom of Law will give them some help, and Rhodes originally owned his own territory with the help of the Kingdom of Law and the Church. So he still has a certain good impression of the country of law and the church, if in the game, which force is the most popular among players, the country of law is undoubtedly in the top three.

Because of this, when he saw the church's announcement, Rod looked at it curiously, and then showed an interested expression.

This commission is not complicated, the church commissioned the mercenary group to go to the Blackstone Abyss to find an ancient artifact lost there, it is said that it seems to be a remnant of the Church, and for some reason it remains in the Blackstone Abyss. Now the church wants to find it, so it has come to seek the help of mercenaries.

But...... Blackstone Abyss......

Looking at the name on it, Rhodes frowned, he had done this task before, the church had always been generous, and the rewards were very rich, and although it was a little dangerous, it was not to the point where it would kill people. According to Rod's requirements, this task is obviously very much in line with his requirements, and the only trouble is ............

Thinking of this, Rhodes turned around and asked Marlene who was standing beside him in a low voice.

"Miss Marlene, do you know how to make flame-based scrolls?"

"Flame-based scrolls?"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Marlene was stunned, then she thought for a moment and nodded.

"If it's a low-level scroll like a flamethrow, it's fine, but I don't have the tools at hand, so it might be slower."

"How long will it take to make one?"

"This ...... Three hours. ”

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Marlene thought for a moment before giving an answer.

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhodes was silent for a moment, as if considering something, and after a while, he shook his head.

"Let's take a look at the situation first, it's really not possible, we can buy some magic scrolls, about a hundred......"

"It's expensive, and we don't always guarantee it."

Hearing Rod's words, Marlene shook her head, as a mage, of course she knew how much the magic scrolls were worth, in the market, the cheapest magic scrolls cost dozens of gold, not only that, because mages rarely make magic scrolls to sell, so the quantity is also very rare, in a central city like the Golden City is a little better, but in a small city like Deep Stone City, Marlene really doesn't think that she can buy so many magic scrolls.

"Anyway, let's see the situation first."

Rod shook his head and didn't say much, then he took Marlene to the counter and knocked lightly on the table, and soon, Old Hank, who heard the voice, ran over, and when he saw the figures of Rod and Marlene, he immediately showed a warm smile.

"Isn't this Mr. Rhodes and Miss Marlene, and you're here to take on a mission?"

"Almost, looks like you're busy right now."

As he said casually, Rhodes looked to the side, where the mercenaries were shouting and the clerks were sweating profusely recording the names of their commissions and the mercenary groups that received them. It looks like a hot scene.

"It's very busy, but it's good to be like this, I was idle a few days ago and was going to fade out, and now the lively mercenary association is the real mercenary association." ..., Old Hank's expression was very happy, but perhaps because of the urgency of time, he didn't talk much about Rod and the others, but asked.

"So, Mr. Rhodes, what mission are you Starlight planning to take on?"

"I'd like to ask about that four-star mission."

Rod said, gesturing to the commission announcement on the bulletin board.

"Samsung mission? You starlight is really amazing, others don't even dare to take on three-star tasks now, you are three-star as soon as you come up...... But it's not the first time you've done this kind of thing, and when I think about it, I honestly thought you were going to die............"

As he chattered, Old Hank looked up at the bulletin board.

"Oh......... You mean the commission of the church? ”

"That's right."

Rod nodded.

"When did this commission come about? Have any other mercenary groups taken on this task? ”

"This is a mission......... Hmmm..............."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Old Hank frowned and recalled.

"I remember that it was just a few days ago, and the church sent the commission just before, and no one has taken it yet."

Is that so.........

Hearing Old Hank's answer, Rod was silent, and at this moment, suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and slapped it heavily on the table.

"Uncle Hank, I've taken this task."

Then, a voice rang out.

ps: One shift earlier, one shift later, away from the trouble of colds...... This update time is also wrong.........
