My Status Board
Vol 7 Chapter 2: contract
The steward is an ordinary person. He can climb to this position by talking to people and talking to people. He knows that Bronze-level adventurers like to be called knights, so he walked behind John with a smile on his face. Greeted politely.
"Hello, Sir Knight, I'm Bruce, the steward of the Misty Chamber of Commerce."
"What's up?"
John turned to look and looked up and down the steward Bruce. He had heard about the Mist Chamber of Commerce. Looking at Bruce's appearance, he guessed something.
"Is such that……"
Bruce explained clearly that the Misty Chamber of Commerce wanted to hire adventurers to Qinghe Town, and finally made an invitation.
"Lord Knight, on behalf of the Misty Chamber of Commerce, I hire you to **** the caravan to Qinghe Town."
"How much? When will you leave?"
John asked directly about the idea, and Bruce, who had been in contact with adventurers a lot, didn't talk nonsense, he stretched out a palm and shook it.
"Five hundred gold coins, we will leave at noon today."
"so much?"
John is a little surprised. Although he is a three-star adventurer, his strength is here, and he can get a lot of rewards for escorting a caravan, but escorting an ordinary caravan from the Misty Viscounty to Qinghe Town can get a maximum reward of one hundred gold coins. The Misty Merchant Association offered five times the price. There must be something strange about it. He didn’t believe it was the Misty Merchant Association’s wealth.
So John didn't immediately agree, but asked, "Mr. Bruce, besides escorting your Misty Chamber of Commerce, do you need me to do anything else?"
"This……"
Manager Bruce looked at the adventurers around him with some embarrassment, thinking that he had recruited more than 50 knight apprentices and three junior bronze knights since yesterday, and he was still less than the target given by the top. It's a little bit worse. It's about to set off at noon. If he doesn't recruit a few strong enough adventurers, his stewardship will come to an end.
So Bruce got closer and whispered the truth.
"That's right, there is a special person in our Misty Chamber of Commerce's team going to Qinghe Town this time, Miss Demi, the beloved daughter of Lord Viscount, because the knights in the territory still have to protect the territory, so there are not many people at all. That's why I came here to recruit powerful adventurers like you at a high price to ensure Miss Demi's safety."
At the end of the speech, Steward Bruce complimented John.
"A descendant of a nobleman?"
John knew it in his heart, no wonder the pay was so high! It turned out that there was a noble son in the caravan, and she was the beloved daughter of Viscount Mist.
"Since that's the case, then I have no doubts. I accept this commission." After thinking about it, John nodded and accepted the commission of the Misty Chamber of Commerce.
huh...
Steward Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to the counter of the Adventurer's Association with John to go through the formalities. In fact, there was absolutely no need to do so, but for both parties, the Adventurer's Association was a guarantee.
"Little one, we have a big job this time!"
Under the certification of the Adventurer's Association, he accepted the commission of the Misty Chamber of Commerce, and John showed a satisfied smile on his face.
But Pal was not satisfied. The manager Bruce didn't even look at him, he just regarded him as John's child or follower. He had the strength of a high-level knight apprentice on the surface, but he didn't get paid! No pay! No pay! Important things said three times!
"I……"
Parr wanted to tell Butler Bruce that he also met the standard and should be paid for himself, but after confirming the commission with John, Butler Bruce who had agreed on the time and place turned around and left, not giving him a chance to speak at all.
John put away the entrustment certificate and noticed Pal, who was hesitant to say anything.
"It's fine if others don't pay attention to you. At least if there is an accident on the road, you can help out unexpectedly!"
"Ok?"
Parr heard the hidden meaning in John's words, and he looked up at John.
"Could there be any other accident?"
"It's only possible."
John raised his foot and walked out the door, sighing softly.
"After all, if anything is linked to the nobles, there may be accidents that are difficult for ordinary people to encounter!"
……
"Little boy, take off your broken leather armor."
"what?"
"It's all broken like this, what else can I do? Go and fix it!"
"Oh!"
After leaving the Adventurers Association, John took Pal into a protective gear store not far away, and then John threw the damaged leather armor that Pal had just taken off on the store counter.
boom!
It directly startled the shop owner who was receiving other customers.
The shop owner and the customer in front of him pleaded guilty, then patted his chest, eased his mind, and came over and asked tentatively, "My lord, what do you mean?"
bang bang bang!
"The quality of the leather armor you sell is not good! It's been broken like this in just a few days, what do you mean by me?" John patted the damaged leather armor and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of others in the store and passersby outside the store .
The shop owner was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop it: "Don't say it, I'll fix it for free!"
After that, the signboard in the store was smashed. The store owner could only propose a way to repair the leather armor for free. He wanted to calm things down, but John didn't bother, and asked the store owner to repair the leather armor before noon and leave with Parr. A protective gear store.
"..."
On the way back to the carriage, Parr looked at John with a strange look.
John couldn't take it anymore, turned around and held Parr's little head, and asked fiercely, "Little kid, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"
"It's nothing."
Parr shook his head, then said, "I just think you're a bit bullying."
"What is bullying? I call it saving money."
John retorted loudly. Of course, he did not admit that what he did was bullying others, it was saving money, and his money was not brought by the wind!
"Cough cough!"
So John cleared his throat with a light cough, and said earnestly: "Little one, every copper coin we adventurers earns is hard-earned, so we must save money..."
John started to ramble about teaching, teaching Parr how to save money in the future. Parr nodded again and again, but at the end he seemed to naively ask (arrogantly):
"Including asking the tavern attendant to stay with you for one night with a gold coin?"
John: "...you little brat!"
……
The time soon came to noon. After John and Parr retrieved the repaired leather armor from the protective gear store, they immediately set off for the west gate of Mist City, which was the meeting place agreed with Steward Bruce.
"very long!"
Far away, Parr saw a long carriage on the road ahead, and the goods in the carriage were all pointed. At a glance, the convoy went directly out of the west gate of Misty City, and he couldn't see where the end was.
"It's normal."
John was very calm. He continued to drive forward and stopped at the back of the convoy. At this moment, a sharp-eyed convoy guy ran over and carefully asked if he was an adventurer who had accepted the task of escorting the caravan.
After learning that John was the three-star adventurer that Steward Bruce had specially instructed, the team mate immediately ran to notify Steward Bruce.
"Lord John, you can count."
Steward Bruce ran over sweating profusely, took a deep breath, carefully took out a piece of brown thick parchment paper from his arms, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. John, things have changed a bit. The Viscount is worried about Miss Demi. In order to ensure that there will be no accidents in the caravan on the road, I bought a contract scroll at a high price. You see..."
"Let me see."
John stretched out his hand to take the brown thick vellum paper and squinted at it. Soon, he nodded and said, "It's a very loose contract, I don't mind."
After speaking, John stretched out two fingers, and a drop of blood dripped on the thick brown leather scroll.
hum...
A faint light flickered on the thick contract scroll, and the surrounding air buzzed, indicating that the contract was signed, and then John was about to return the contract scroll to Bruce, but Bruce turned his attention to Parr and said cautiously:
"Lord John, this kid has to sign too."
"Okay! Come and sign it too, little one, just drop blood." John casually threw the contract scroll to the curious Pal.
"Is this the contract scroll? I don't know where the power to bind the person who signed it comes from?"
Parr squinted his eyes like John, with a shimmering light in his eyes, and saw that the contract scroll was covered with a layer of reddish light, and there were many red dots wandering irregularly under the light, which should be It is the blood of the person who signed it.
"Hurry up."
John urged, Parr didn't sign the contract, and the team couldn't leave. Didn't you see that the manager Bruce was stomping his feet in a hurry?
"Oh!"
Parr put away his bright pupils and glanced at the contents on the contract scroll. It was very simple, except for those gorgeous words, which probably meant that during the mission, the person who signed the contract should not hurt Miss Demi, the daughter of Viscount Mist.
"It's really loose enough."
After muttering, Parr took out his black dagger and touched the blade, his finger instantly opened a small mouth, and he hurriedly moved to the top of the contract scroll, dripping a drop of blood.
hum...
A faint light flashed on the contract scroll again, and the surrounding air hummed, indicating that the contract was signed successfully, but Parr did not feel any restraint.
"Is this the end?"
Parr handed the contract scroll back to John ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After Steward Bruce left, he asked, "Uncle John, what happens if the contract is violated?"
"It's miserable."
John opened his mouth to warn: "The contract like the one just now is a soul contract that can only be made by a four-star magician. Those who violate the contract will receive a soul blow equivalent to the release of a three-star magician, and those below the silver level will suffer. Dementia in mild cases and death in severe cases."
"so smart!"
Parr exclaimed. He didn't expect the seemingly ordinary contract just now to be so powerful.
"Of course it's amazing, magicians are difficult to deal with."
John repeated the old story and said this again, as if he had suffered a loss from the magician before.
……
Steward Bruce was sweating profusely and was running fast in the caravan. If John hadn't come at the agreed time, the caravan would have set off long ago, and Miss Demi, the daughter of Viscount Mist, was impatient to wait.
Soon, Director Bruce saw a super luxurious carriage in the center of the convoy.
The carriages are covered with shiny jewels, of different colors, sizes, and shapes, but they are not complicated and bloated at all. Each jewel has its own position. Obviously, the arrangement of jewels has passed the hands of famous masters. , which is pleasing to the eye.
The carriage of the carriage is very large, and there are five tall pack horses that pull the carriage alone, which can be regarded as a standout in the entire convoy.
The carriage was guarded by cavalrymen in blue light armor on the front, back, left, and right. They were all straight-backed, with serious faces, gleaming eyes, and glanced around.
After seeing the luxury carriage, Steward Bruce stopped, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, tidied up his clothes, and walked over slowly.
