Zhou Qiubai raised his head, looked at the three-story building in front of him, and frowned slightly.
The building looked old. Most of the paint on the wooden door was peeled off, and the six words "Heaven Dou Mercenary Guild" were written on it. The handwriting was blurred and could hardly be read.
"It should be." Yang Guyun pushed open the wooden door.
Although Mercenary Guild is not as famous as Soul Fighting Arena, it is still an indispensable part of the Douluo Continent.
If there are civilians Soul Master who are short of money and don't want to be a dog for the nobles, then Mercenary Guild will be useful.
Take money to do things and pay for it afterwards.
It is said that the person who founded this guild was Soul Douluo, who was born as a commoner, which also proves the strength of the Mercenary Guild.
After all, as long as Titled Douluo doesn't come in person, they will have confidence.
The bar is at the end, and behind it stands a one-eyed old man, wiping a wine glass with a dirty rag.
Zhou Qiubai walked to the bar and said directly, "Take the mission."
The one-eyed old man raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued wiping the cup with a cold tone, "Do you understand the rules?"
"What rules?" Zhou Qiubai asked doubtfully.
"Newcomers, please register first." The old man took out a thick booklet from the drawer, his voice was like cold stone, "Name, Martial Soul, Soul Power Level, what are you good at? You can only see the task list after paying the registration fee."
Zhou Qiubai raised his eyebrows. "How much is the registration fee?"
"Ten Gold Soul Coin." The old man's voice was full of disdain.
Yang Guyun immediately frowned. "Isn't this too expensive?"
The old man sneered, "Whether you want to board or not, get out. Don't block the people behind you."
Zhou Qiubai pressed Yang Guyun's hand, took out ten Gold Soul Coin from his arms, and placed them on the counter, feeling helpless.
The old man put down the rag and opened the booklet. "Name."
"Zhou Qiubai."
"Martial Soul."
"White Clothes Sword."
"Soul Power Level."
"Level 38 Soul Elder."
The old man's hand paused, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Qiubai carefully, and then glanced at the sword at his waist.
"Are you the sword in Spear and Sword Peerless?" A trace of interest flashed in the old man's eyes.
"That's right." Zhou Qiubai replied calmly.
The old man suddenly smiled, showing his yellow teeth, and his tone became friendly. "Interesting. Okay, register. The task list is on the wall over there, go and see it for yourself. Come back after receiving the task and register with me. After you complete it, I will get the reward, and the guild will take a 10% commission."
Zhou Qiubai nodded and walked towards the opposite wall.
A huge wooden board was nailed to the wall and covered with paper strips of various colors.
It is also divided according to Soul Ring color.
White is the lowest level task, red...
It's a death mission.
The kind that narrowly escapes death.
Zhou Qiubai glanced at it. Most of the white tasks were chores, the yellow tasks started to involve battles, and the purple tasks involved conflicts between Soul Master.
The black missions are rare, with only three copies.
There is only one red task.
"Assassination of Commander Heaven Dou City Guard will result in a reward of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin."
This really has all kinds of tasks!
Aren't you afraid of offending officials?
But think about it, mercenaries also work for money to a certain extent. Whose money is not earned?
In other words, there is no such thing as a killer organization in the Douluo Continent, otherwise such jobs would usually be taken by killer organizations.
Zhou Qiubai only glanced at it and then looked away.
He would not do such a thing as assassinating officials.
When the city defense troops were attracted, he no longer had to wait for two companies Heaven Dou City.
"Which one should I pick?" Yang Guyun asked.
Zhou Qiubai thought for a moment and took off the purple mission: "Investigate North City Disappearance Case."
He returned to the bar and handed the note to the one-eyed old man.
The old man glanced at it and raised his eyebrows. "Boy, I've been waiting for this task for three months. I picked up seven groups of people, three came back, two went crazy, and one has no news yet. Are you sure?"
"OK." Zhou Qiubai said firmly.
"Okay." The old man wrote down something in the book, "Since three months ago, people have been missing in Old District in the north of the city. So far, twenty-seven people have disappeared, all of whom are civilians. There are Soul Power and Soul Master The maximum level cannot exceed level 20. City Guard investigated, but there was no result. Mercenary Guild sent people to investigate, but they also failed. In the past, they said they would find the person, but after so long, they said they would just find out the cause of the disappearance, and the reward would be five thousand gold."
Zhou Qiubai nodded. "I understand."
The old man took out a wooden sign from the drawer and threw it to him. "This is the mission certificate. When it is completed, take this back to collect the money. When you die... I will give it to you as a burial gift."
Zhou Qiubai took the wooden sign, turned around and walked out Mercenary Guild.
"Why did you choose this task?" Yang Guyun asked curiously.
"The pay is high." Zhou Qiubai replied, frowning slightly, "And... I always feel that this matter is not easy."
"How?" Yang Guyun asked.
"Old District is in the north of the city, next to the slums." Zhou Qiubai said as he walked. "There is a mixture of good and bad people there, with people from all walks of life. Twenty-seven people are missing, City Guard cannot find them, Mercenary Guild has killed several people... There must be something wrong behind this."
Although the lives of civilians are not life in the eyes of the government, when so many people were killed at once, including City Guard people, it was impossible for the government not to step in.
Yang Guyun was silent for a moment and said seriously, "When will we check?"
"Tomorrow." Zhou Qiubai said, "Let's rest tonight. In addition..."
He paused and looked at Yang Guyun, "Xiao Yao was taken away by Ning Fengzhi. What do you think?"
"Good thing." Yang Guyun said straightforwardly, "Follow us, it's dangerous."
"That's true." Zhou Qiubai smiled easily, "I just thought that girl's eyes were quite pitiful when she left."
"You are soft-hearted." Yang Guyun teased with a smile.
"A bit." Zhou Qiubai admitted without hesitation, "But this is for the best. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can give her a stable life, which is much better than wandering around with us."
When the two returned to the inn, it was already midnight.
The shopkeeper was still awake and was taking a nap on the counter.
They didn't bother and went back to the room directly.
The next day, Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun walked on the streets of the slums and immediately attracted a lot of attention.
After all, their outfits stand out in this slum.
"Let's go find the families of the missing people first." Zhou Qiubai said in a low voice.
They knocked on an old wooden door that was in disrepair. The door creaked open, revealing an old woman.
"Who are you looking for?" The old woman's voice revealed a hint of caution.
"Old man, we are from the Mercenary Guild." Zhou Qiubai took out the task sign and showed a gentle smile, "We are here to take over the task of investigating the disappearance case. I would like to ask if you know any clues?"
The old woman stared at the wooden sign for a while, then slowly moved away. "Come in."
The room was dimly lit, with only a small window letting in weak light.
"Sit." The old woman pointed to the chair, her tone dry but full of enthusiasm.
After Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun sat down, the old woman poured them water.
"Is anyone missing in your family?" Zhou Qiubai asked tentatively.
