The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

Chapter 11: Reward for Murderers (Part 1)



The Mercenary Guild is a public organization that will exist in any city on the mainland, and it can be regarded as the largest organization in the mainland in terms of scale. However, the guild itself does not have much power, otherwise it would not be possible to get the recognition of all the countries in the mainland. The main role of the guild is to contact the mercenaries for the wealthy, such as merchants and nobles, to fulfill their requirements. These requirements are all sorts of strange, some are looking for pets, some want to get magic weapons, some want to get the fur or cubs of high-level monsters. The only thing that these requirements have in common is that they all have high rewards. In the Mercenary Guild, you will never find a task less than one gold coin. You must know that the ratio of each level of currency in the mainland is one to one hundred. One gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one hundred silver coins is enough to allow a family of three to live a good life for a year. However, the lowest level 4 fighters or level 3 magicians who take up quests in the mercenary guild are also the lowest level. For them, if the reward for the quest is too low, no one will ignore it. You know, a person with the strength of a fourth-level warrior or a third-level magician will never earn less than twenty gold coins per month, no matter which nobleman's home he works for. But most people don't like that way of life.

After returning from training in the small woods outside the city, Ulysses went directly to the office of the Mercenary Guild to take up a few tasks to subsidize the family. Originally, according to Ulysses's penance lifestyle, less than fifty silver coins were used in a year. However, in order to pass the priest’s canon exam, he had to buy a lot of books to study the history of the Supreme Theology and various regulations of the Holy See. Especially those laws of the Holy See changed almost every year, which made him spend a lot of money every year. Purchase a new Holy See Code. In fact, these books are available in the library of the church. But to enter the church library you must have the qualifications of a priest, otherwise you must be a nobleman. Therefore, the profession of priests is also known as the profession of "nobles".

"Ulysses, you are here at the right time. Our Gale Group is going to do a quest to capture the sixth-level beast silver wolf alive. We are short of a light wizard, come join us. The reward is no less than 300 gold coins. "As soon as Ulysses stepped into the lobby of the Mercenary Guild's office, a heavily armored warrior immediately spotted him and couldn't wait to invite him to do the task together. This fighter Ulysses is no stranger. He is the deputy commander of the third-ranked mercenary group Gale Group in Taji City, the fifth-level fighter Hal. The Gale Regiment is a powerful mercenary group dominated by warriors and supplemented by a small number of wind wizards. The group leader Perth is one of the few sixth-level fighters in Taji City.

"No, Ulysses, you still go with our fire regiment to complete the task of killing the seventh-level beast Thunder Tiger. We guarantee that the reward will not be less than 400 gold coins." Another magician wearing a red robe was in Kazakhstan. Ulysses' existence was also discovered by Er's shout, and he extended an invitation to Ulysses just like him. This magician is also an acquaintance of Ulysses. He is the deputy commander of the second-ranked mercenary group in the city of Taji. The Fire Regiment he was in was the opposite of the Gale Regiment. It was a mercenary group mainly composed of fire wizards and supplemented by warriors. Commander Yabu is a fifth-level fire wizard. Because practicing magic requires a certain amount of magic talent, unlike martial arts that everyone can learn, so there are far fewer wizards than fighters. But the relative strength of the wizard is also far stronger than that of the fighters of the same level, so strong that it can leapfrog the challenge. Therefore, the ranks of the fire regiment with a fifth-level wizard and a large number of third- and fourth-level wizards are still higher than the Gale regiment with sixth-level fighters. However, this situation only reaches the sixth level. After the human has broken through the limit and reached the seventh level, the gap between the wizard and the warrior will no longer exist.

"Haha! Ulysses, you are really popular! How about, do you want to consider joining our wild beasts again, I will give you five hundred gold coins a month." A golden retriever Kanka came out from the crowd, Laughing and patted Ulysses on the shoulder. The mercenary group Kanka is in is the largest mercenary group in Taji City-the wild beast group. As the name suggests, the Mad Beast Corps is a mercenary group composed of all orc warriors. The leader is a six-level tiger orc warrior who can transform into a beast, and the deputy leader is the color lion in front of him. Orc warriors are different from humans. Although they break through the limit at level 7, only the orc warriors who can transform into beasts have the possibility of breaking through. The key to beastization lies in the bloodline of orc warriors. Only the blood of lions, tigers, elephants, wolves, foxes and other advanced orc warriors can be beastized. The reason why Kanka is so popular with orc girls is that in addition to his golden face that is popular with orc girls, his lion blood is also one of the reasons. More than 80% of the offspring obtained through intimacy with Kanka may be orc warriors that can be transformed into beasts, so even if many orc girls know Kanka is a playboy, they are still willing to make intimacy with him. Of course Kanka denied this.

The reason why Ulysses is so popular with the major mercenary groups is actually very simple. There are too few light wizards in Taji City, too few. In fact, apart from the priests in Taji City Church, Ulysses has never seen any other wizards of light magic. I am afraid that there will be no more than ten light magicians in Taji City. . In fact, what Ulysses didn't know was that he was the only fourth-level light wizard in Taji City. This is because most of the people in this world who have the talents of light magic will be selected by the Supreme God to carry out priest education since childhood. When they reach the third level of light magic, they will take the priest exam. For them who have been educating priests since they were young, passing the exam is a piece of cake. The reason why the priest exam accepts outsiders to sign up is because many nobles are unwilling to send their children to the priest college where life is hard. They hope that their children can lead a comfortable life before becoming priests. Although priests are a respected profession, families with priests are superior even among the nobles. But the various laws and regulations to be followed by priests are very strict. Becoming a priest means that you will live a pure-hearted life from now on. Therefore, many light magic wizards of noble origin would take the priest exam after they married a wife and had children.

Light-based wizards like Ulysses who have not received orthodox priest education, and are not like aristocrats who can go to the church library to study at any time but sign up for the priest exam are rare on the mainland. However, the light magic that has been practiced in the village for ten years is not useless at all. The fourth-level light wizard, he is recognized by the mercenaries as the most popular person in the Taji City Mercenary Guild, and almost all mercenary groups have sent him an invitation to join the group. After all, it is impossible for the priests of the Taji City Church to join these mercenary groups to make money, and it is different from Ulysses who is not a priest but possesses the power of a priest. You know, if there is a light system wizard who can use recovery, acceleration, and light enveloping magic circle in the team, the combat power of this team can immediately increase by one level. However, Ulysses, who was determined to become a priest, did not agree to any invitation from a mercenary group. Only when they need money, they will temporarily join a mercenary group to assist them in their tasks. Taji City's three major mercenary groups have cooperated with him.

"By the way, where are your heads?" Ulysses looked around, but didn't find the heads of the three mercenary regiments, which was a bit strange. Generally speaking, these three deputy heads are all with the head of the guild when they take up the task.

"Head! He is inside..." Kanka was interrupted by an exclamation in the hall before he could finish her words.

"How could it be that Leon was actually killed! How could anyone in Taji City kill him? Could the person who killed him be a seventh-level powerhouse!!"

"Two hundred thousand gold coins! This is the highest quest bounty in Taguig City's history! But the opponent is someone who can kill even Leon! It's not easy to get this money!"

"What happened? What happened to Leon being killed?" Kanka pushed away from the crowd and walked to the center of the commotion-the task bulletin board.

"Could it be..." Ulysses once again had an ominous premonition in his heart, and followed Kanka to the bulletin board.

Looking closer, the top of the bulletin board wrote a message in bright red font that surprised all Taji City mercenaries.

A reward of 200,000 gold coins was offered to eliminate the murderer who appeared in the night of Taji City in the past half month. The man killed 173 civilians and 12 nobles in the past half month, and the killing methods were extremely cruel. The person appeared after 12 o'clock every night, and the location is unknown. Hope you all get rid of this murderer as soon as possible. [Attention, this murderer is extremely dangerous. The number one master of Taji City, Leon, has already died in his hands, please do not fight alone. 】
