Chapter 36 Mercenary Group System Unlocked (2/2)
After taking the scroll, the old man face revealed a smile, but faded soon after.
”Well, I'd hope to see your exploits in the future, lad.”
”I don’t think you will be disappointed.”
”I hope so...”
”But... there is one thing I want to remind both of you. Some spies from the Country of Light had arrived in the city. Although I do not know what they're after, I suggest that you do not to mess with these people. ”
”I understand.”
After hearing the old president's reminder, Rhode knitted his brows and frowned.
It's coming.
After the two people left the room, the old president gave a bitter smile. He sat down and turned towards to his old buddy beside him.
”Old thing, what do you think about this kid? I doubt that he was sent by above.”
”You mean the Golden City?”
Sereck exposed a helpless smile.
”I don’t think so. If Lize was speaking the truth, then she and this lad should have met accidentally.”
”But if it's not an accident, then this kid wanted to form a mercenary group...”
”Of course, I know.”
This time, Sereck did not deny the old president’s judgment.
”Not only he possesses a magical weapon, but his strength is also good. And his appearance is quite... beautiful? Frankly, his features did match with 'that person's' aesthetic taste, so I can understand your thought. But if there really was such a person, then there would be news from the Golden City.”
”After all, you and I know 'that person's' personality, if he was her subordinate, then she would absolutely not hide him until now. And... that unusual way of fighting, I've never seen it before.” Sereck sighed.
”It wasn't a summoning skill?”
The old president expression immediately became serious after hearing his sigh.
”Of course not. Both of us have experience with mages, and I'm pretty sure you had seen summoners before, right?”
”Definitely. But I had never really understood those deeper issues about mages.”
”That's why you are a mercenary, old friend. Go read some books.”
”Well, let's not talk about this topic anymore.”
When he heard Sereck's friendly mocking tone, the old president face turned red.
”I leave this lad to you, Sereck. Pay some attention to him. A few days ago those b*stards from the Country of Light secretly came to this city; I think they are up to something. At this time, such a strange kid also appeared all of sudden... We do not want to get involved in whatever trouble that is brewing... at the very least, the Mercenary Association doesn't want to.”
”Don't worry.”
Sereck nodded with a serious expression.
”I'll not let them give us trouble.”
