Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 8 The magician returns to the academy to report first

The next morning, the magician lady was still wearing a mask, but she changed into a blue magic robe and held a magic wand, looking dignified and elegant.

First, Captain Iron Fist was arranged to take Kashen to go through the formalities, and Lillian was left behind to wait for Kashen to finish his chores, and then he was taken to the Dekeburg School of Magic.

She needed to return to the college early to register and complete graduation procedures. She had a lot of things to do and couldn't take care of the father and son for the time being.

"Warrior Kashen, Silver Wolf, follow me. Please ask the instructor of the Magic Academy to take a look. It would be best if you can trigger the instinct of the Warcraft. I am a man of my word and will pay for all your expenses!"

"Thank you in advance, miss. If it's worth a lot of money, it's fine. But if a battle is necessary, I prefer fighting on foot, especially fighting in the jungle. There's no need for a mount, so there's no need to waste my energy."

"I don't think so. With a good mount, I won't fall behind during marches. After graduation, I want to join the border guards for training. This is all because of meeting the Kashen warriors. If there weren't reliable warriors to protect me, I wouldn't dare to think about joining the border guards for training!"

Iron Fist: "Dear Miss Magician, could you please take us with you? We may not be able to fight, but we can do chores for you!"

"Captain Iron Fist, you are not knights and can only work as coolies. It is better to find some jobs in the big city and have freedom than to live in the bitter cold of the border. Forget it. If you are short of manpower when going to the border, I will ask the family to send a few warriors over. You are almost useless in the world of bravery..."

Lillian stood up and prepared to speak for Captain Iron Fist: "Miss, I think he can be used. Captain Iron Fist has good eloquence. He can represent you in conversations with those stinky men in the army without any problem. The key is that he has beautiful handwriting and is proficient in arithmetic. Keep him by my side and use him! This Hodel used to run a business for a while. No matter where you go, you need a talent to connect our family business. Practicing magic will always feel short of money. Give Hodel the capital and the family trade routes, and let him do business for you! As for Walker, this guy is useless, so just follow Hodel to do business."

"What Lillian said is very good. Let's give it a try. The three of you just follow her. If you are really capable, you will get a generous reward from me!"

The three mercenaries were recruited by Lillian, who became the young lady's housekeeper and began to recruit people to run the magician lady's business.

After making the arrangements, the young lady rode on the wolf, took Kashen's silver wolf and went out of the city from the east to return to the Delburg School of Magic.

Kashin followed Hodel to the Mercenary Association to register as a mercenary, and took the mission letter signed by the lady to cancel the commission, so that he could get the commission for this mission.

The Mercenary Association is a neutral organization of various countries. It provides services for money in the form of employment. Its business scope includes various tasks such as transportation, escort, protection, exploration, assassination, etc.

Along the way, Hodel gave Kashen some general knowledge, crossed two streets, and entered the mercenary association that only existed in big cities.

Kashin could read, so the process went very smoothly. Hodel had been here for more than ten years and was very familiar with the process here, so he quickly obtained a mercenary identity card with a gold coin.

The next step is the skill test. He has passed the examination of fighting spirit qualifications for the knight rank and the hunter profession argument, so Kashen's level is very high. The starting point is an A-level mercenary. The next mercenary level needs to be improved by completing tasks.

In terms of personal bravery, he was selected as a mercenary of the highest level, and his remuneration was incomparable to that of a C-level mercenary like Captain Iron Fist.

Grandfather told him that the nobles could easily find the information of mercenaries, so it was best to hide the sharpshooter skills. If he took this path, he might make enemies with powerful opponents. It was very dangerous to have skills that were mastered by others.

So Kashin intentionally took part in the archery test and deliberately recorded himself as barely proficient in using the bow and arrow. This can be regarded as Kashin's unique skill to protect himself.

After Hodel received the reward of twenty-four gold coins, the two returned to the inn to report.

The original reward was thirty gold coins for hiring Captain Iron Fist and three others to complete the expedition mission. The Mercenary Association took twenty percent, leaving Captain Iron Fist with twenty-four gold coins. This was already the lucrativest mission Captain Iron Fist had taken in recent years.

Add to that the promised bounty of 400 gold coins, which was equivalent to the commission for three years of hard work, and they were already very satisfied. Although their strength was limited in this battle, they did fight for their lives, and being able to return safely was considered a blessing.

"Brother Kashen, you have the strength of a junior knight, and you were indeed designated as a mercenary of the highest level. Your remuneration is five times higher than ours. Damn it, it's just frustrating to compare yourself with others!"

"Are there few knight-level mercenaries? Are you surprised when you see those staff members processing the procedures?"

"Brother, you don't know that mercenaries are all from poor backgrounds and their lives are worthless. How can we learn knight skills? Even if the supplies needed for a day of training are at least two gold coins, otherwise we will damage our bodies and our fate will be even more tragic..."

"Haha! I see. I don't have to pay for meat, and I can pick herbs in the mountains at will. The medicine for injuries and strength recovery that my grandfather made for me are mostly readily available in the mountains. I can exchange the prey for money for the missing parts, and then go to the pharmacy in the market to buy them, so I don't spend too many gold coins..."

Hodel: "For a warrior who can become a knight, it is better to join a big family than to be a mercenary, so most mercenaries have no fighting skills. Although they have some combat experience, that is only the level of miscellaneous soldiers. Employers use us as coolies, and sometimes we are the death squads sent to consume the enemy's strength in war..."

"You're right. The reason I registered as a mercenary was simply to maintain my status as a free man. Miss hired me as a mercenary to ensure a certain degree of freedom. Anyway, there's no way I can really be a mercenary..."

As they were talking, they returned to the hotel to meet Miss Lillian. After she wrote down Kashin's ID number, she smiled and said, "Later, I will go to the Mercenary Association to hire Kashin warriors for a long time, and you can receive monthly salary in the future."

Afterwards, Lillian measured Kashin's body size. The 1.9-meter tall figure and youthful aura made Lillian's heart beat faster. A man's strong physique is naturally attractive to a girl...

"Kashin, do you need leather armor or light steel armor?"

"Ms. Lillian, my physical growth has basically taken shape in the past two years. I do need to customize a set of armor, which will make me look energetic when I wear it. I just don't know much about it. Grandpa said that soft leather armor is the best. Don't expect it to have excellent defense. You must stay agile. Once you fight against a wild beast, if you are not as skilled as the beast, no matter how good the protection is, you cannot save your life!"

"Really? You are a warrior known for your agility, so choose high-quality cloth armor, which is sturdy and wear-resistant. Thickened knees, elbows, and shoulders. It is more expensive than leather armor and has almost no defensive ability. Fighting spirit, sharp blades, and bows and arrows can break its protection. But it can resist magical damage, so it is very expensive!"

"I am not as skilled as my opponent, and no amount of protection can save my life. I rely on dodging and quick movement to resolve dangers. Heavy protection is of no use and instead hinders my speed of movement."

"Okay, the cloth armor will be customized after we go to the Magic Academy. It is impossible to find top-quality cloth armor here. What about weapons? The lady asked me to get you a set of top-quality equipment. Don't worry about the cost!"

"I used to use hunting knives in the forest, but after coming to the big city, the way of fighting has changed. I hope to use a pair of hand axes as close combat weapons. After all, most of my opponents are wearing armor. It would be best to replace the hunting bow with a hard bow. I need to take a look at other weapons. There are not many weapons I can recognize..."

Lillian packed up her things and accompanied Kashen to the weapons store to make the selections. This was also the preparation for the young lady's decision to send Kashen to the border for training after she discovered him. She wanted to equip him with first-class equipment so that he could go into battle at any time.

The most taboo for a military mage is to be assassinated by the enemy assassins on the battlefield, so he needs a warrior who can protect him closely to keep him safe. Among magicians who practice and gain experience, the military mages have the highest mortality rate, so take this as a warning.

As for equipping with top-level equipment, there is no ambiguity. The lives of the nobles are important, and the cost can be achieved at any cost.
