Chapter 156: The opposite of the mission
The layout of the Adventurer's Guild in Prost City is the same as that in Morvis City, and the commissions are also on the right wall.
With the magic power Xu Yuan has shown now, he can accept commissions of the highest S level. Only if there is a king-level leader can he accept SS-level commissions.
There are still many S-level tasks on the commission wall of the Adventurer's Guild here, most of which are tasks of clearing monsters.
There are not many people in the guild now, and no one is looking at the commission wall, so Xu Yuan can take his time to choose.
Xu Yuan scanned the S-level commission area on the commission wall and found two commissions that interested her. One of the commissions was to rescue the client's pet, and the other was to kill a weak dragon.
The content of the commission alone is not worthy of Xu Yuan's interest, but the location of the two commissions is the same place, which is a cave, which is very interesting.
From this point of view, Xu Yuan guessed that the client's pet was most likely the dragon that needed to be killed.
The dragon clan has such a bad reputation in the mortal world, Xu Yuan really never thought that anyone would keep a dragon as a pet, which made Xu Yuan very interested.
So Xu Yuan took the two commissions and walked towards the counter.
After Xu Yuan accepted the two commissions, in a corner of the guild, a dishevelled man in a black robe ate while secretly observing Xu Yuan.
The counter staff showed a puzzled expression when they saw the two commissions and purple adventurer certificates that Xu Yuan handed to him. They looked at the commissions in their hands carefully again, and after confirming that they were correct, they said, "Miss, you can only choose one of these two commissions to accept."
"Why?" asked Xu Yuan, who was floating low in the sky.
Since the counter was a bit high, Xu Yuan floated in the air to ensure that the staff could see her, and now Xu Yuan and the staff were at eye level.
The counter staff was obviously familiar with the two commissions and explained, "It's like this. The contents of these two commissions are completely opposite. The pet to be rescued in that commission is the dragon. If one commission is completed, the other one cannot be completed."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan folded his arms and said, "How could that be? It can be done. I can help the client heal the dragon first, and then kill the dragon after receiving the commission reward. In this way, both commission tasks will be completed."
The counter staff was stunned when they heard Xu Yuan's words. It was not that there had been no adventurers in the guild who had accepted two commissions with opposite tasks at the same time like Xu Yuan did, but those adventurers only did so when they were extremely short of money.
After all, he was smiling at his client one second, and then smashed the "treasure" of his former client the next. This kind of thing is quite mean.
The counter clerk saw that Xu Yuan looked like she didn't have any money, so he suddenly remembered that the dragon was a king-level dragon and said, "Miss, this dragon is a king-level dragon and is in a weak state right now, so the guild placed this commission in the S-level area. If you cure this dragon, the commission will be upgraded to SS-level, and you won't be able to accept it now."
It’s not like there haven’t been special-class adventurers who have accepted commissions to kill this dragon before, but even a weak king-level dragon’s combat power is not low, and ordinary special-class adventurers cannot hurt it.
What's more, there is a ninth-level special magician beside her, and it is very difficult for the special magician to kill her.
As for why the Kingdom of Harms did not send a king-level expert to kill the dragon, it was because the dragon was indeed not far from death. Even if she was not killed, she could only last for more than a month at most.
There were also people who accepted the commission to heal the dragon, but when they saw that it was a dragon that needed treatment, they left without saying a word and went back to the guild to pay the fine for the failed commission.
The penalty for failed commission depends on the commission level and amount, but the minimum will not be less than 1 silver coin and the maximum will not exceed 10 gold coins.
Hearing the staff's words, Xu Yuan knew that she was being asked to choose one of the two tasks. After thinking for a moment, she pointed to the treatment commission and said, "Then I'll take this treatment commission."
"Okay, to kill this dragon... No! Did you just say the commission to treat the dragon?" The counter staff took a while to react and looked at Xu Yuan in astonishment.
The counter staff really didn't expect that, since he had already said that the patient would be treated was a dragon, this petite little girl would dare to accept the task.
Although the country of Harms did not intervene in the affairs of this dragon, any smart person would not save the dragon and cause trouble for themselves.
The top leaders of Harms may turn a blind eye to a dying king-level dragon, but if a king-level dragon recovers to normal, the top leaders of Harms will definitely take action regardless of whether it poses a threat to their country.
Xu Yuan also noticed that there was a vague gaze staring at her, but she didn't care. Instead, she found it interesting.
She was curious about what the higher-ups in Harms would do to her if they knew she was the one who cured the dragon.
The counter staff quickly responded, picked up the treatment request form, and said, "Let me confirm. You want to accept the treatment request, right?"
"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded.
The counter staff took out a contract, wrote the commission on it, handed it to Xu Yuan, and said, "Sign your name on it."
Xu Yuan took the contract, took a look at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he picked up the pen on the counter and wrote the five words "Annika Neo".
After writing, Xu Yuan returned the contract to the counter staff.
After the counter staff took it, they took out a map and handed the treatment order and the map to Xu Yuan, saying, "Okay, take this order and do the commission. The client won't believe you if you don't have proof. If the commission is completed, have the client sign the order. Here is the map with the location numbered on it."
"Thank you." Xu Yuan took the commission and the map, said thank you, and flew out of the guild.
The counter staff put the contract into a special storage cabinet, then picked up the order to kill the dragon, walked to the order wall, and pasted it back to the S-level order area.
Upon seeing this, the disheveled man left his seat, walked to the S-level commission area, took a look, and then left the Adventurer's Guild.
After Xu Yuan left the Adventurer's Guild, he was not in a hurry to do the commissioned tasks. He walked on the street like an ordinary person. After all, the people behind him had not caught up yet.
After the disheveled man walked out of the Adventurer's Guild, Xu Yuan transformed the Dragon Ball into a Dragon Ball Broom, sat on it sideways, and controlled the speed to within the range that the Special Class could keep up with.
The commission location is in a cave outside the Demonic Forest.
The Forest of Demon Abyss is located in the west of Prost City, opposite to the Forest of God's Birth, more than 200 miles away from Prost City. There are many monsters in it, which is very dangerous. However, the periphery is not bad, and there are basically no powerful monsters.
