Chapter 25 Preparation
When we walked into the Spellcasters' Association in Port City, compared to the deserted Winter City, the Spellcasters' Association here was not very lively, but there were still some people.
Compared to the noisy Adventurer's Guild, this side is very quiet, and the wild mages coming and going basically have clear goals.
Purchase low-level extraordinary materials, various books, rent meditation rooms, laboratories, and accept various special commissions.
Roland naturally didn't waste any time and walked directly to the commission board.
He skipped the simple collection tasks and looked to the top of the commission board, where he successfully found the commission to purify the Island of the Dead.
Without hesitation, Roland accepted the commission.
Then he came to the front desk and placed his spellcaster badge and the commission in his hand on the table and pushed them over.
The receptionist didn't even look at it closely. He took the badge and commission skillfully and registered them through the device at the front desk.
After registering, the screen floating in the air in front of him also revealed Roland's basic information and the public information of the commission.
The receptionist took a casual glance, and after seeing the level of the commission and Roland's identity as a wild mage, his hands trembled slightly, and he looked at Roland in surprise.
Seeing that Roland was calm, he looked down at Roland's registration information again. After seeing the moon elf mark in the registration information, he suddenly realized what was going on. Without saying anything, he completed the registration of the commission according to the regulations.
The mage recommended by the moon elves cannot be regarded as a wild mage. Maybe he is the apprentice of some reclusive moon elf mage. The lack of a registered school does not mean the lack of inheritance.
Then, he put the commission away, stood up, and put the commission into the cabinet at the back. At the same time, he took out a detailed information about the commission and handed it back together with Roland's badge.
"Thank you."
Roland nodded, took the information and the badge, then turned and left.
While Roland was registering, Hela stood in front of the commission board, silently looking at the various commissions on it.
"what happened?"
Roland walked up to Hela and asked in a low voice.
He looked in the direction of Hela's vision, and what caught his eye was a long-term commission to purchase an extraordinary creature's egg. Depending on the species, the reward was between five hundred and one thousand gold coins.
Hela raised her head, looked at Roland, and asked in a low voice.
"Was the adventurer team there for this commission?"
"I don't know, but there is a mage apprentice in their team, I think."
Roland recalled it briefly and said uncertainly.
“Why do you want to buy eggs?”
Hela asked doubtfully.
"Maybe they'll be used for experiments, or cooked and eaten, or maybe they'll be cultivated as magical pets. Who knows?"
Roland replied casually.
"Oh."
Hela responded, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Let's go back to the hotel first."
Roland took Hela's hand and spoke softly.
Hela nodded and followed Roland out of the Spellcaster Association.
After returning to the hotel room, Roland began to prepare the materials and props for the purification ceremony in advance, while Hela was beside him, flipping through study books and occasionally daydreaming.
the next day.
Roland, who had just woken up, looked helplessly at Hela, who was sleeping on the table.
Hela did not return to her room to rest, and the same thing happened in the White Fortress.
The room we booked for her was never used once.
Just as Roland was about to carry her to her room to rest, Hela opened her eyes.
Seeing that she woke up, Roland silently withdrew his hands and greeted her softly.
"Good morning, Hela."
"Good morning."
Hela responded slowly while rubbing her eyes.
Roland looked at Hela, who seemed still sleepy, and asked softly.
“Do you want to sleep a little longer? I’ll bring you lunch when I come back.” Hearing Roland’s words, Hela, who was a little sleepy at first, instantly became alert. She patted her cheeks with both hands and said softly.
"I am not sleepy."
"Would you like to go out with me? We made an appointment yesterday. I have to meet the client this morning."
Roland blinked and asked softly.
Hela nodded and said.
"Go."
"Well, pack up and get ready to go."
Roland did not refuse and gave the order directly.
A few minutes later, Roland and Hela finished washing up and walked out of the room. After a simple breakfast, the two left the hotel and headed directly towards the Adventurer's Association.
The Adventurer's Association was very quiet early in the morning. When Roland and Hela arrived, the evening shift and the morning shift had just completed the handover, and there were only a few adventurers in the hall.
However, standing in the hall, Roland looked at several men in black robes standing at the commission board.
The black robes they wore were not cheap, and they were also enchanted with multiple spells.
Such expensive equipment is not something that ordinary adventurers can afford.
Although he was somewhat surprised and curious, Roland didn't care what they wanted to do as long as it didn't affect Roland.
He immediately withdrew his gaze and looked towards the front desk.
He placed the adventurer's badge on the table and said.
"Meeting with the client. It was arranged yesterday."
The receptionist nodded, glanced at the badge number, and flipped through the notepad beside her.
After turning two pages, the receptionist raised her head and spoke to Roland.
"The client has arrived. They are in room 205."
"Thank you."
Roland put away the badge, thanked him briefly, and then took Hela into the Adventurer's Association.
When Roland and Hela left, the black-robed man who was leading the several black-robed men on the commission board stretched out his white right hand and picked up a commission.
Then they came to the front desk and put down a purple badge and commission.
The receptionist, who was yawning and a little sleepy, instantly perked up after seeing the purple badge and looked up at the man in black robe.
"you"
Before she could finish her words, a hoarse voice came from the black robe.
"Register."
Hearing this voice, the receptionist decisively shut his mouth and honestly completed the registration according to the procedure.
Afterwards, the man in black robe put away the badge, turned around and left the Adventurer's Association with the others.
Behind them, the receptionist looked at the back of the man in black robe with some surprise.
Next to him, another bored receptionist leaned over and asked curiously.
"What's wrong? You were startled just now."
He rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"If you saw an Amethyst-level adventurer, you would be more surprised than I am."
"amethyst?!"
The curious receptionist shouted in surprise.
"Why would someone of this level come here to accept the commission?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
