Chapter 812: Chapter 19 Mercenary Guild_3
"Esteemed Magician, would you consider joining a Mercenary Corps? Our Skywind Mercenary Group is quite formidable, and with your addition, we would be unstoppable. Could you please consider it?"
"Lord Magician, don’t listen to his nonsense. Join our Iron War Mercenary Group instead. We can guarantee your safety. Even in the face of danger, we are prepared to defend you with our lives."
"Lord Magician, our Dragon Phoenix Mercenary Group has many beautiful members. Consider joining us."
......
Almost every somewhat renowned Mercenary Corps had representatives crowding around, their invitations ceaseless, surrounding Xuan Yue and Ah Dai in the middle.
Xuan Yue hadn’t expected to be so sought after and couldn’t help feeling secretly pleased, but her goal was not to join a Mercenary Corps. She shouted loudly, "Stop it, stop it! I’m not here to join a Mercenary Corps. Move aside; I’m here to set up my own Mercenary Corps."
The representatives of the various Mercenary Corps were stunned. A Magician setting up her own Mercenary Corps? What concept was that? And judging by the voice, this Senior Magician seemed to be a young woman.
Seizing the moment while everyone was still dazed, Xuan Yue turned to Ah Dai and said, "Quick, lead the way in front, let’s head to that counter inside."
Ah Dai responded and, with his fighting spirit contained, gently pushed through the crowd, leading Xuan Yue to the innermost part of the Guild.
The grand hall of the Mercenary Guild was extremely spacious, capable of accommodating hundreds of people. At the very back of the hall were three counters: Registration, Mission Assignment, and Prize Collection. Passing through the crowd, Xuan Yue, pulling Ah Dai, briskly walked to the registration counter and shouted at the staff inside, "I want to register a Mercenary Corps."
Behind the registration desk stood a young girl, who, surprised to see the Senior Magician badge on Xuan Yue’s chest, politely asked, "Miss, are you certain?" She had been working there for several years and had never heard of a Magician registering a Mercenary Corps. Given the Magician’s status on the continent, they didn’t need to strive for a living; mercenaries could earn money but were relatively more dangerous, she knew. Only the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group had a few Magicians; ordinary smaller Mercenary Corps, let alone having a Magician, seldom even understood what Magic meant.
Xuan Yue impatiently said, "Of course, I’m sure. Hurry up; don’t you see all these flies buzzing around us?"
The young girl pursed her lips in a smile, glanced at the silent Ah Dai beside Xuan Yue, and asked with a smile, "May I know how many members are in your Mercenary Corps, and the names of the leader and deputy leader?"
Without hesitating, Xuan Yue replied, "Two members in the Mercenary Corps. The leader is Xuan Yue—that is me, and the deputy leader is him, named Ah Dai." Saying this, she pointed at Ah Dai’s towering figure.
"Ah Dai?" The young girl startled but said nothing, quickly jotting down the details. By now, the mercenaries had gathered their senses and crowded around from behind, attempting a final effort. Xuan Yue snorted and murmured a few spells. Suddenly, a Light Bullet appeared on her Magic Wand, its brilliance enhanced by her Sacred Aura, enveloping her and Ah Dai, "Anyone who bothers me again should not blame my magic for being harsh." Though she used only a common Illumination Spell, integrated with her Sacred Aura, it generated a certain energy fluctuation, illustrating its efficacy against very low-level Dark Attribute Creatures. Seemingly powerful, it actually lacked any real offensive power. For those unfamiliar with Magic, it was intimidation enough.
The rich Sacred Aura frightened the surrounding mercenaries, causing many to step back, except a few powerful ones, while the rest sheepishly moved aside to attend to their duties.
The young girl asked, "May I know your profession and specialization?"
Xuan Yue replied, "Obviously, a Magician, and I specialize in Light Magic, he specializes in Fire Magic. Is registration always this troublesome?"
The young girl smiled slightly and said, "Registration is indeed cumbersome because we need to be clear about the details! Miss Magician, are you sure your Mercenary Corps has only two members? It’s the smallest I’ve ever seen. I think you should recruit a few warriors; it would significantly strengthen your Mercenary Corps’ capabilities."
Xuan Yue glanced at Ah Dai and shook her head, "No need, the two of us are enough. Is there anything else that needs to be registered? Hurry it up."
The young girl smiled, "Just one last thing, please name your Mercenary Corps."
Xuan Yue hesitated, "Name?" She hadn’t considered this before. She had been sulking with Ah Dai all morning, only thinking about setting up a Mercenary Corps for fun and hadn’t given it much thought. What should they name it? She turned to Ah Dai and asked, "Ah Dai, what do you think our Mercenary Corps should be called?"
Ah Dai shook his head, "I’m too slow, Miss. You decide." Since arriving here, he had been searching for Feng Ping and his members from the Red Lion Mercenary, but he hadn’t seen any mercenary with the Lion’s head emblem on their chest. His heart sank, realizing that after Feng Ping left, the Red Lion Mercenary members had already embarked on a new mission. Even if they were here, recognizing Ah Dai in a completely different outfit would be difficult.
