I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Elena let out a long sigh.

Feeling the heat all over his body, he smiled with satisfaction.

His condition was really good. The toughness and recovery ability of this body were absolutely top-notch. Although the initial physique was a bit bad, the future after training was quite promising.

At the same time, this also made Elena curious about his life experience. This body was definitely not as simple as an ordinary abandoned baby. All kinds of inconsistencies proved its extraordinaryness.

Elena was busy lamenting his own changes, and did not notice that a red figure had quietly stood behind him, looking sharply at the hammer in his hand.

After swinging the hammer dryly, Elena had completed today's task, and the other apprentices stopped studying at this time.

It was obviously meaningless to stay here. Elena wiped the sweat and stood up subconsciously, but his head hit an extremely soft object.

At this time, Elena found that there was a person standing behind him. He was so scared that he didn't know how to react for a while. It was not appropriate to walk forward or turn around.

There was no way but to rely on the peripheral vision to look behind him. Through the smell and breath and other information, he barely guessed that the person standing behind him was Melissa, the daughter of the blacksmith.

"Sister Melissa... why are you here?"

Somewhat embarrassed, Elena could only imitate the previous owner of this body in a voice. Whenever he made a mistake, he would always be forgiven by using this attitude to deal with others.

"Look at you."

Melissa didn't seem to like talking much. Facing Elena's doubts, she just said a few words lightly. Her eyes did not fall on the boy in front of her, but always on the steel Elena was hammering.

"Good job."

Patting Elena's shoulder, Melissa left quickly. The softness on her head faded away, and Elena was actually a little disappointed.

"Am I being praised?"

Touching the top of his head, Elena was a little confused.

But if you think about it carefully, today's self is indeed much better than the "self" before.

Melissa, who dedicated her entire childhood to the forging career, has always had a problem with Elena, who didn't work hard but was favored by others.

Now that Elena has reformed and completed the task, it is normal for her to change her mind.

But even if she knows this truth, recalling the memory of this body, Melissa always looked very unfriendly every time she saw her. Now that she is treated so kindly by the other party, Elena is somewhat uncomfortable.

I didn't dwell on such trivial matters for too long. There is still some time before sunset. It's a rare trip out. Elena wants to go to the city to familiarize himself with the roads.

After crossing into this world, Elena has not been able to get familiar with the culture of this world. Now is a good opportunity.

The city he lives in is a place called Brooks City, which belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Sorens.

This is an inland city with fertile land and rich minerals. In theory, it should be a rich city.

But the city is indeed surrounded by forests, and monsters live in the forests, threatening the safety of civilians in the city every day and night.

The farmland planted by farmers is often destroyed by monsters or wild beasts.

The medical level is insufficient, the church charges exaggerations, and the mortality rate is high, making it difficult for ordinary people to live and work in peace.

A large amount of resources are also monopolized by the bigwigs above, and the heavy taxes make people miserable.

The atmosphere in the city is not as lively as imagined, on the contrary, the oppressive atmosphere is quite obvious.

Poor families like Elena can be caught in a lot of them in the dark alleys on the street.

As for those rich people, they have to enter the center of the city, near the noble business circle of the city lord's mansion to see them.

The outer periphery closest to the monster forest has become a slum that is not called a slum.

But in this place that sounds hopeless, there is a rather clichéd existence, an organization called the Adventurer's Guild that can be seen almost everywhere.

In order to deal with the increasing number of monsters, people spontaneously organized themselves and, with the support of some responsible bigwigs, established a special organization specializing in monsters.

In order to mobilize capable people to actively fight monsters, and for people with limited conditions to get the resources they deserve for cultivation.

The commission mechanism of the Adventurer's Guild was born. The bigwigs above distributed some unused small things, and the new adventurers below exchanged these resources by fighting various monsters.

The monster's infestation was effectively intervened, and the originally difficult races had some breathing opportunities, which also appeared during this period.A considerable number of strong people.

The situation of the world's races is better than before, but the Adventurer's Guild has changed a bit because of too many interests involved.

From the beginning, it was just to help each other for resource balance, but now it is more about pure interests.

Adventurers can still get money and resources rewards from the guild for executing commissions, but these are no longer the selfless dedication of the bigwigs above, but the result of others paying out of their own pockets to get help from certain people.

This is a good thing alone. After all, those who are close to the top of the pyramid cannot afford so many adventurers. The commissions brought by demand are the reliance of the Adventurer's Guild to run smoothly.

But compared with the past, the room for manipulation of these private commissions is too large, and there is often a mismatch between the reward and the difficulty of the commission.

After working hard and paying a huge price to complete the commission, the reward in the end is not as generous as imagined, which greatly dampens the enthusiasm of adventurers to perform tasks.

In addition, some people post some strange tasks on the commission column, including human experiments, assassinations, and trafficking of some rare black commissions.

The already chaotic world has been plagued by new contradictions, and the Adventurer's Guild has become even more mixed, with newcomers often being eaten to death.

However, Irena, a former mercenary, feels particularly close to the current Adventurer's Guild.

In his previous life, as a mercenary in the war, he would accept any dirty commissions in order to survive, and only when conditions allowed would he consider the so-called morality.

Nowadays, the Adventurer's Guild is mixed with good and bad, and the quality of the commissions and adventurers is uneven, which makes it convenient for people like Irena who have a more complicated identity.

After all, if it is too formal, the Adventurer's Guild will definitely not allow a teenager like him to mess around, and no one will be willing to let him accept commissions.

In order to revive the orphanage and make himself live more comfortably, accepting commissions from the Adventurer's Guild to make money is something Irena must consider at this stage.
