People like Kells, this kind who had never seen the world, really were very easily startled. When he saw the B-rank mercenary, his whole person became stunned. In the luxurious room of the second floor, a middle-aged man, on his chest wearing a B-rank mercenary badge, was right at him smiling. This direction wouldn’t be wrong; the one he was looking at was precisely Kells.
“Are you Young Master Daniel’s new attendant?” that person elegantly said. Although he was a mercenary, he gave people a kind of noble lord’s air, his speech and manner of speaking extremely noble. His whole body’s equipment was also very high-grade. It looked like he was probably a warrior-type profession, on his back carrying a huge sword large enough to scare people, and on his head, he still wore a feather hat that only musketeers would use.
“Yes… this is my attendant badge, you see…” Kells, trembling and shaking, pointed to the badge he had newly obtained. In front of a big figure, it was unavoidable to be somewhat nervous, even his mind became somewhat stiff, unable to think.
“Hehe, there’s no mistake. Welcome to join the Wind Spirit Mercenary Group. Originally, trainee mercenaries need to participate in all sorts of affairs within the group, but you don’t need to. Just follow Young Master Daniel, that’s fine. If there’s anything you need, later you can directly say it to the female attendant at the counter. I am the deputy leader of the mercenary group, Zhan Yue. In the mercenary group, every person has their own title. My title is Giant Sword, Giant Sword Zhan Yue. Newcomer, do you also want to have a title?”
“Giant Sword Zhan Yue… such a cool name. When can I be that cool? That would be great.” Kells foolishly laughed hehe, in front of this strong-willed uncle always being in a passive position.
“Haha, how about I give you one? Long Hair Kells, how’s that? A youth with long hair makes people have a deep impression.” Deputy Leader Zhan Yue laughed boldly, without any meaning of mockery.
“Ha… sure… of course sure, thank you, Deputy Leader Zhan Yue.” Kells, that depression ah, that Daniel bastard was like that, Deputy Leader Zhan Yue was also like that. How come they all couldn’t get over his long hair?
“Alright, Long Hair Kells, you go to the female attendant at the counter to register. Just write your name, and that’s fine. So, goodbye, and good luck…”
After Deputy Leader Zhan Yue finished speaking, Kells left from the luxurious room, walking toward the direction of the counter. Along the way, Kells’ heart was surging and unable to calm down.
“Damn it, why is it that every single person who sees me and the attendant badge on my chest has a heavy expression? I’ve already heard ‘good luck’ and such words more than once. It always feels weird… But what’s the use of thinking so much? Mercenary ah! I actually became a mercenary so easily! A beautiful life is waiting for me, haha. Today, maybe I can eat a good meal. Fat Dragon, you bastard, would also be convinced. Oh… those two silly women still haven’t been found? First go to the counter side. Earlier I glanced, the female attendant is so pretty. Big places are just different, hehe. Staying here, maybe I can get quite a few collections, oh oh, those few female mercenaries I just passed by, their figures are so hot… hehe… hehe…” Kells’ thief eyes kept staring at a certain part of their bodies because there were the collections he had been peeping at for a long time…
The female attendant at the counter was a young little sister, her looks quite nice. As soon as she saw Kells, she sweetly smiled. The attendant badge of the Caesar family was being worn right on his chest. Who wouldn’t smile squintingly when they saw it? If there weren’t that badge, just based on this guy’s thief eyes, probably he’d have been kicked out the door long ago…
“Hello, Young Master Daniel’s attendant. Please say your name, and I’ll register it here for you. After becoming a trainee mercenary of the Wind Spirit Mercenary Group, you can receive a set of beginner equipment and basic compensation. The money obtained in tasks can all be stored here with me. If something unexpected happens, the mercenary group will be responsible for sending all your money to your family’s hands.” Although the words were correct, Kells listened very gloomily.
“Damn it, this registration is nothing but preparation for the aftermath… Is the mercenary trade that terrifying? Everyone says it’s a money-making industry ah. How come it seems like people die at every turn?”
Thinking to here, Kells still asked a few more sentences: “Will mercenaries have casualties…”
The female attendant laughed up, she felt Kells’ words were somewhat naive. “Of course, the Wind Spirit Mercenary Group every year has very many sacrifices, but please rest assured, our reputation is very good. Every year, the number of new people joining exceeds the number of losses by quite a lot, and in real combat, there are many who smoothly advance ranks. Our deputy leader, Mr. Zhan Yue, followed the leader all the way from trainee mercenary to advance to B-rank. The gentleman is the learning model for our entire mercenary group.”

“Because of the existence of the Mercenary Guild, everyone’s life has a guarantee, and many large-scale tasks, for example wars between countries, only large mercenary groups like ours can take on. Of course, trainee mercenaries do not possess the qualification to participate. You are Young Master Daniel’s attendant, ordinarily you don’t need to pay attention to the mercenary group’s affairs. Just follow the young master’s arrangements, that’s fine. Finally, please choose the type of beginner equipment you need.” The female attendant sweetly smiled, looking really comfortable. Kells’ gaze habitually shifted downward… but he suddenly caught sight that the female attendant’s eyebrows had slightly wrinkled… probably wanting to get angry but unable to vent.
“Hehe, the attendant of the Caesar family is really arrogant ah, it seems the people here are all afraid. This little girl’s looks are quite nice, just probably her temper is pretty fiery. I’ve only looked a few times…” Kells fantasized.
The female attendant waited a somewhat long time, and she asked again: “Mr. Kells, which kind of equipment do you need? Our mercenary group has specialized tailors. After you choose, they will come to measure your size. The equipment will be collected after a week.”
“The equipment for beginner mercenaries definitely isn’t very good, probably just the style is relatively uniform, but the benefits of a big mercenary group are really nice enough. It’s just that you have to risk your life ah. The mercenary life isn’t as good as those silly birds say. Damn it, every year many die ah, no wonder right from the start they had me register… Oh oh! For safety’s sake, better get a set of equipment that’s worth more money. Then I can sell it for some money, hehe!” Kells calculated well. If he didn’t want to be a mercenary anymore, the equipment on his body could still be resold. When he first set out, he was still full of passion and enthusiasm; as soon as he heard people die, and quite a lot die at that, he immediately changed his mind. He prepared to make a fortune and then go back to his countryside hometown to live a peaceful life, regardless of Karlina and Eliya. Getting one of them as a wife would be enough for him to enjoy…
“I want a set of mage equipment…”
“I’m sorry, among trainee mercenaries, there don’t exist mages.”
“Actually, I really am a mage. It’s just after becoming Young Master Daniel’s attendant, I didn’t go to any certification institution for assessment, hehe… Believe me, I really am a mage… If you don’t believe, you can ask Young Master Daniel.” Kells was certain this female attendant wouldn’t dare go ask Daniel. If she asked, it would clearly be not trusting the young master of the city lord’s family! Actually, for someone like him to have a mage attendant wasn’t strange, after all, among commoners, there occasionally appear mages with low-level magic power.
That female attendant also didn’t dare offend Kells. She helplessly nodded. A set of mage equipment ah, this isn’t cheap. This kid is really cunning. But the next registrant wasn’t so lucky. Kells hadn’t walked too far and could clearly hear the voice from behind.
“Little sister attendant, give me a set of warrior equipment.” A man’s voice.
“Little sister your head, this old lady is bigger than your elder sister.” This really was the female attendant’s reply… Kells and that person were both shocked.
“Elder sister attendant, give me a set of warrior equipment…” That man hurriedly changed his address.
“Elder sister your head, am I that old?”
“Attendant… miss, give me a set of warrior equipment…”
“Miss your sister ah, do I look like a miss?”
“Give me a set of warrior equipment…”
“…” The female attendant directly ignored that pitiful guy. It seemed her temper really wasn’t small. Kells listened with a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had become Daniel’s attendant; if he were an ordinary commoner, probably he’d only get this treatment.
At this moment, Daniel came back, Eliya and Karlina right behind him.
“Young Master Daniel, thank you for finding my companions back. Eliya, Karlina, quickly thank the young master. Now, I am already Young Master Daniel’s attendant.”
“Ah! Leader, in this case, what do we do?” Karlina asked puzzledly.
“Thanks to the young master’s blessing, you two have become trainee mercenaries of the Wind Spirit Mercenary Group. I am too. The matters of the mercenary group, let’s talk about them later. We’ll stay here to train first.”
“Oh…” Karlina nodded and looked at Daniel. “Thank you, Young Master Daniel.”
Following, Eliya also said so: “Thank you, Young Master Daniel!” She, in front of Daniel, even performed a very ladylike courtesy, her eyes almost turning into star shapes. A handsome noble young master like him had always been the idol in the hearts of countless young girls.
“Damn it! Little girl Eliya actually has a good impression of Daniel. Damn it, so mad ah, the fat meat that hasn’t even reached my mouth yet got snatched away by this bastard. Depressing. If it weren’t for my handle being caught by him, this old man wouldn’t be mixing here. A three-person small mercenary group is so comfortable!” Kells thought this way mainly to prevent his girls from being taken away by other wolves ah. Slowly developing an all-female mercenary group absolutely wouldn’t have this kind of thing happen!
In this large mercenary group, handsome guys weren’t just Daniel alone. It seemed the second floor still had quite a few. Before he came down earlier, he saw some, and some were even wearing C-rank mercenary badges. This was something a loser like him couldn’t compare to ah!
“Mm, you two, I’ve already arranged. Take them back to the female attendant at the counter to register, and that’s fine. From now on, you two just train well here. Kells, these few days I have arrangements. After the hunting festival passes, he’ll be free.” Daniel elegantly said. Eliya kept looking at him. In a small town like Locco, such handsome guys wouldn’t appear…
“Young Master Daniel… why is it after the festival I’ll be free? I am your attendant…” Kells asked.
“Hehe, when the time comes, you’ll know. Let’s go eat a meal together. Here on the third floor, there’s a restaurant. There, I’ll explain in detail the tasks for the next few days. Although you two don’t need to participate, you can listen. Although Kells is my attendant, he is also your companion.”
Karlina’s expression had always been very strange. She didn’t know why Kells did that. This was very different from the previous plan. She wanted to find a chance to ask clearly about Kells’ intentions.
