011 Beast Manor

"Xnudy, give me a gold coin for the travel expenses. I took an S-level task and have to go out for a few days." The ghost directly found Codino, who was reading the information, and asked for money, because the mainland map hanging on the wall of the Mercenary Guild showed that Grean City was two days away from Conorro.

Xdino, who was reading the D-level mission information, frowned tightly, but when he looked up to face the ghost, his face had become full of sunshine and asked kindly, "S-level is the most difficult task. Can you do it?"

"The task has been applied for, and I don't think there is any problem."

Xdino smiled and took out a gold coin from the wallet left by Berlos and gave it to the ghost, but when the ghost turned around and left, the smile on his face had become stiff. I have to say that it is really depressing to meet a stunned young man like a kid. All the rules and all the experiences are useless in front of him. I don't know whether it is extreme self-confidence or extreme agance. Anyway, he doesn't like it very much.

Not long after, everyone continued to apply for the task and left the Mercenary Guild. Because it was the first time to do the task, coupled with their unique personalities, everyone chose to complete it alone. Cessino used the money left by Berlos to help everyone handle the deposit and advance some travel expenses.

He also specially told Casbach and Schmitt to pay attention to, and the three of them went back to their residence to get their luggage and weapons and complete the tasks they applied for, while the ghost had already carried his wooden stick on the road.

Coronoro, the third largest city in the Gran Empire, is known as the busiest city in the southern continent. Over the years, merchants and tourists have long taken the four ways out of Conoro, east, west, north and south, into wide business roads, and even there are small inns every dozens of miles along the way.

The ghost carried the wooden crystal core and walked along the hard sand merchant road to Grean City, eating the sweet fruit brought from the mountains. The ghost was still recalling what Belos and Mose said to him when he left.

I heard that he chose an S-level mission, and Berlos actually said the same as Qing *, "It's shameful to run away when in danger and save his life."

Mose repeatedly told him to be careful. The task of hanging the S-level logo is not easy to solve. You must be careful of yourself. He also specially found a map and gave it to the ghost, on which Mosai marked the specific route from Conoro City to Grean City with a red pen.

The level of the task is meaningless to the ghost. There is a solution to the main problem. Many difficulties are really solved. It mainly depends on whether you find the right way.

The ghost chooses the mission purely by interest. The more interesting or interesting things are, the more willing he is to participate. This S-level task involves beasts, which still has some advantages for the ghost who has been living in the jungle.

In fact, it's just a preparation for a gold coin. There are a large number of fruits in the space of the wood core, and there is a map given by Mosai. With the ability of the ghost, he can walk to Grean City effortlessly. However, for the first time he traveled through the mainland society, the ghost wanted to try to spend money. It feels like, but at least that's when you come back.

In two days, in addition to rushing to the road, the ghost rested in the woods on the roadside. Several caravans also asked him to go on the road together, but they were all declined by him. Walking is also his own experience, and he cherishes every experience.

On the afternoon of the third day, the ghost walked into Grean's gate with a wooden crystal core like a wooden stick. Grean City is much more deserted than Conorro City, but the number of people on the street still makes the ghost a little cramped. After bravely hearing about the viscount's mansion, he patted the door of the viscount's house in the afterglow of the sunset.

The door was opened by a slightly hunchbacked old housekeeper. After seeing the ghost's mercenary badge and mission letter, the housekeeper did not show any contempt because of the low-level iron badge. He still invited the ghost to the small hall to have a rest according to the proper etiquette, and then found someone to report the situation to the viscount.

Mainlanders know that such organized low-level mercenaries are sent by the mercenary regiment to practice. When they get the copper badge, they will naturally return to the mercenary regiment, so if it is not necessary, everyone still gives face to the low-level mercenaries.

Sitting in the small hall, Agui turned his head and looked curiously at the decorations and furnishings around. What attracted him most was a few broken old weapons and armors hanging on the wall. The viscount's house was full of old things, which shows the family's long history.

"Those are all my grandfather's. He likes to collect all kinds of weapons and antiques, but like me, he has a noble title but is a businessman who lives on his mind." The viscount with a chestnut beard stood at the door and said humorously. He was in his forties, dressed neatly, his slightly melancholy eyes flashed with the merchant's shrewdness from time to time, and there was always a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, which made people feel very intimate.

Agui walked to the table with a smile and handed over the task letter on the table to the viscount.

"Try this dessert. My chef is the best at making pastries." The viscount pushed the snacks on the table in front of the ghost, then took the mission letter from the ghost's hand without a trace and slowly sat on the other side of the table to look.

"Are you here alone to undertake this task?" The viscount looked up at the ghost and said, "Many mercenary teams have tried it in recent years, but they have not succeeded. Do you think you can do it?"

The ghost nodded and said nothing.

"Forgive me for being so direct. If you don't feel sure, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible. I don't want you to be hurt." After confirming the mission letter, the viscount was still worried about the young ghost. After all, the child was still young and it was the first time to undertake the task.

Although few people died in this annoying task, the viscount paid a lot of gold coins to treat and compensate the injured mercenaries.

Agui still nodded, and the viscount didn't care about his impoliteness. As a businessman, he had seen a lot of rough people standing on his arms. It was a waste of time to know what etiquette to care about with these rough people.

"That manor is an ancestral heritage. When my father took over, it was still a neat manor. I spent a lot of my childhood there, but not long after I received the manor more than ten years ago, these annoying beasts appeared!" The viscount frowned for the first time. Obviously, these animals gave him a headache.

"Originally, it was just a manor, and it was abandoned, but unfortunately someone used this thing to make a deal!" The viscount frowned deeper: "There are many people in the city who say that I can't do business, so these beasts run into the manor to lose my face!"

"I also know that these are all from those merchants who compete with me, but the property of a viscount of mine will be occupied by a group of beasts, which is really ridiculous." The viscount turned around and looked at the spacious courtyard and corridor outside the window. "Since my ancestors got the title of viscount, my party and salon have never stopped, but now look, hehe, the whole Grean area is the only one with my viscount's mansion closed all day."

"Oh, please forgive me for my nagging. It's inevitable that you will talk a little more if you hold back for too long," the viscount took a sip of the tea handed over by the housekeeper, then cleared his throat and began to introduce this manor, which is often attacked by beasts: "There was a hunting ground a long time ago near the manor you are going to, and they all belong to our fees. The Reesgathe family. Because it is far from the city and very quiet, my ancestors built a beautiful villa in it, which has become the back garden of our Ferrisgat family. Before I took over as viscount, most of the old people and children of our family lived there, and my family's cemetery was also in that manor.

"My father and grandpa and even grandpa's grandfather are buried there. May their souls rest in peace!" The viscount said and put his hands on his chest and made a pious prayer, and the old housekeeper next to him did the same.

Agui didn't say anything, but just looked at it quietly. Like the Ye people who believe in the goddess of nature, many people on this continent have their own gods.
