Chapter 31 I don't care about this or that! Take this punch!
"Hmph! Deldo, what do you take me for?" Lant gently set down his cup, a deceptive smile playing on his lips. "Father sent me here to take over things here!"
"I will absolutely not let my father down!"
The carriage stopped in front of the Adventurers' Guild, and Deldo handed several commissions to Lant beside him.
All eyes were focused on the black and red carriage.
Fu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. This Water Guild...
That's a brilliant idea!
They monopolized the industry, and as intermediaries, they probably made a fortune by going back and forth between the two sides, squeezing who knows how much they had exploited from these adventurers in Arthur City.
The wandering adventurers of Arthur City are also deeply grateful to the Water Guild, regarding them as the saviors of Arthur City.
Two people stepped down from the carriage, one old and one young. The young man, who exuded an air of nobility, smiled gently and waved to the adventurers around him.
"Good evening, everyone. I am Lant Water, the representative of the Water Guild. Our Water Guild has provided some very high-quality temporary teams for you today, and..."
Lant's lips curled up slightly. As his first appearance in Arthur City, he naturally needed to deliver something spectacular.
"Today we'll be in a very special role, lasting for a week. Our teammates include a Silver Mage, a Holy Priest, and a Paladin. The team atmosphere is harmonious, and all members are highly qualified elites!"
"And the reward for this mission is..."
"1 gold coins!"
???
Fu Xiao was stunned for a moment…
gold?
You know what, just hearing Lant say that, a reward of 1 gold coin?
That's equivalent to three months' wages for an ordinary adventurer!
If you do that...
Then I have to take back what I just said. The Water Guild belongs to the people!
My teammates are... a mage, a priest, and a paladin?
With this setup, what kind of teammate would they need to recruit from a place like Arthur City? It sounds like the conditions used to lure people to a telecom fraud park in my past life.
"Whoa! Let me try!"
"I've been preparing for this mission in Arthur's City for a month!"
"Praise be to Lord Water!!"
The crowd surged forward, shouting and cheering, hoping that Lant's attention would fall on them.
If I could get the payment for this commission, I could not only enjoy myself in Rhine City for a few days, but also live comfortably as a lord in Rhine City for a month without any problem.
Looking at the noisy crowd in front of the Adventurers' Guild praising him, he was moved to tears of gratitude.
Instead, a hint of disdain flashed in Lant's eyes.
He then revealed a kind smile: "However, this mission has a requirement; we need an assassin!"
Ok?
assassin?
When those two words were uttered, the previously noisy Adventurers' Guild fell completely silent.
Assassins are a special breed among professionals. Compared to other professionals, assassins possess the terrifying ability to kill with a single blow.
However... training an assassin is extremely costly and requires a great deal of expense.
Moreover, this profession can basically only perform assassination-type jobs. Only a few noble classes will keep assassins loyal to their families to do shady things.
Among the wandering adventurers in Arthur's City, there are many who do not have a profession, let alone assassins!
"Hmm...no? That's a real shame. But to give back to the heroes of Arthur City, our Water Guild has prepared quite a few good positions! I'll be posting them on the Adventurers' Association website soon, so everyone can line up to submit their Adventurer's Badges!"
Ate's lips curled up slightly; this was their main objective.
Fu Xiao finally understood what the Water Guild was up to: first, they would present you with a job with a good working environment and high salary.
Add to that a restriction that's insurmountable for adventurers in Arthur's City, and it's clearly telling you...
I have plenty of good jobs available, it's just that you don't have the skills or abilities for them.
They had already calculated that these wandering adventurers would only feel until their deaths that they hadn't tried hard enough and weren't worthy of the high-quality commissions offered by the Water Guild.
Fu Xiao's lips curled slightly as he raised his hand amidst the silent adventurers.
"I!"
"I am... an assassin!"
A voice, neither too loud nor too soft, interrupted Lant's speech, and everyone in the audience looked at Fu Xiao, who had raised his hand in surprise.
Deldo, standing next to Lant, squinted and stroked his long, graying beard, nodding at Lant with some suspicion.
"You... are an assassin?" Lant's smile was a little stiff.
"That's right! I'm an assassin!" Fu Xiao nodded and stepped out from the crowd.
In the corner, Zuo Lin's pupils trembled as he watched Fu Xiao emerge...
An assassin? Wasn't he... unemployed?
Could it be... that he's misrepresenting his profession to deceive the Water Guild? How dare he do that?
The Water Guild has a considerable reputation even in the capital, and it is backed by Earl Water, an unprofessional!
Fu Xiao had already walked up to the old man and the young man from the Water Guild.
"Can I see your adventurer's badge?" Deldo immediately wanted to verify Fu Xiao's identity.
"Hmm... I only registered my adventurer badge today, but... I am indeed an assassin!" Fu Xiao handed the adventurer badge to Deldo.
"Chris, unemployed!"
Deldo frowned. "Sorry, this makes it impossible for me to determine if you're an assassin!"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Fu Xiao's confident demeanor irritated Lant: "Do you know... what happens if you try to deceive the Walter family?"
He specifically mentioned the Walter family name, but...
Fu Xiao twisted his wrist: "The Walter family? Never heard of them, but I've heard of the Domino family."
"You..." Lant's forehead veins bulged slightly.
"Young master, leave it to me!" Deldo quickly pulled back the furious Lant.
Seeing Lant's reaction, Fu Xiao couldn't help but nod inwardly. Just as he had guessed, the "Domino Family," which he had unintentionally heard about from Grace, was indeed a step ahead of the Walter Family in the capital.
Deldo's eyes flashed with a slight coldness: "The core ability of an assassin is assassination. The [Fang] ability can unleash up to four times the damage after stealthily charging!"
"Then try attacking me with your [Fangs]! You can stay hidden and charge up for as long as you want!"
Deldo extended a hand, regarding Fu Xiao as a mere wandering adventurer, regardless of whether Fu Xiao was an assassin.
All you need to do is counterattack the moment he attacks, and point out that he's just an imposter trying to fake a class to deceive the Water Guild.
They don't even need to deal with him anymore; the wandering adventurers of Arthur City will tear him to pieces.
snort!
I've already given you a way out, but you didn't appreciate it, so...
"Buzz!"
Fu Xiao, without any preparation, clenched his fist and threw a punch directly at Deldo.
A terrifying whooshing sound, like a tsunami, rushed towards Deldo.
Fu Xiao was exuding a terrifying aura, and in the blink of an eye, his fist was almost at Deldo's face.
"Wait! You passed!" Deldo's pupils dilated, and he shouted immediately, "Adventurer Chris is the assassin!"
The fist finally stopped in front of him, and cold sweat silently trickled down his graying temples...
Fu Xiaosmo smoothly retracted her fist and smiled at Deldo: "Well then... thank you, Water Guild!"
Assassin? I don't care! Take this punch!
