"Leader, are you serious this time?"
The swordsman with the electric guitar broke the awkward silence.
This wasn't the first time Reyek mentioned retirement to the pillars of the Yafrk Snake Guild.
At first, the pillars of the guild thought that their leader was joking, but when they saw Reyek seriously asking the Mercenary Guild if there were any 'easier jobs', they realized that Reyek was serious.
"I'm just thinking, but before I find a way to cure my members, I will never leave the Snake Guild."
Reyek's words were heard by the archer's sister.
"I won't allow you to escape just like that! Reyek! "
The archer's sister seemed to be engulfed in anger. Everything happened too suddenly.
After being infected by the Grey Fog, humans would become violent and changeable. Reyek instantly realized that his words had agitated her.
The archer's sister walked forward and grabbed Reyek's clothes. Her strength was so great that she could lift Reyek's huge body off the ground with one hand.
After Reyek saw the Grey Fog overflowing from her body, he held her arm with one hand. The Inscription appeared on his arm, and in the next second, Reyek stopped her easily.
"Sister! Calm down … Something's not right … "
The archer saw the Grey Fog overflowing from her sister's body and instantly realized something.
"She doesn't have time," the swordsman beside her said in a sad tone.
They had all seen how people who were eventually devoured by the Grey Fog looked like, and they knew what the signs were …
After being affected by the Grey Fog, very few people could survive for more than a month.
"Leader, what should we do?" The archer looked at Reyek with despair in her eyes.
The Inscription around Reyek's arm glowed. Reyek used mana to strengthen himself, and at the same time, he placed his arm on her neck, as though preparing to make her faint.
Suddenly, Reyek saw something flying towards him. He raised his other hand and caught the falling object.
It was a golden potion in a strange glass bottle.
Reyek looked at the other side of the backstage. Josiah, the organizer of this street concert, was walking over.
"The antidote you want, make her drink it before she completely loses her mind." Josiah made a gesture of opening the bottle cap.
Without much hesitation, Reyek crushed the upper part of the glass bottle with his hand and drank a small portion mixed with some glass shards. After confirming that it was not poisonous, he fed it to the woman in his arms who was gradually losing control.
This potion successfully suppressed the Grey Fog on her body and reduced her berserk symptoms, allowing her to gradually fall asleep in Reyek's arms.
"Keya, take your sister back to camp."
He handed the sleeping woman to the archer and walked up to Josiah.
"The Snake of Yfrk owes you a favor," Reyek said as he looked at the remaining half of the potion in his hand.
"Although I haven't tested it, a bottle of potion diluted with a certain amount of elemental water can cure at least 20 people."
Josiah pointed at the half bottle of potion in Reyek's hand.
"This should be enough to save the humans in your mercenary group who are affected by the Grey Fog."
"Is there anything we can help with?"
Reyek didn't say anything else to express his gratitude. Instead, he went straight to the point and asked Josh.
"Help? Let me think, I do have a long-term mission for you. "
Josiah glanced at the two members standing behind Reyek. Apart from the dark-skinned man, the other Chaos Demon with an electric guitar caught Josiah's attention.
But this wasn't the most important thing …
"I heard that your mercenary group is the top in the world?" Josiah asked.
"Other mercenary groups can't go against the snake, and even the lords of various countries fear us."
Reyek's voice didn't show any emotion, but Josiah could still feel his pride towards the 'Snake of Yfrk' from his words.
"Although it's our bottom line not to involve the disputes between nobles, if your target is the people of the Kingdom of Saint, even if it's the higher-ups … we can accept it for free."
Josiah was a Chaos Demon in the Demon Realm, so the only enemy Reyek could think of was the Kingdom of Saint.
"Uh … actually, I don't know many people in that country."
Josiah didn't even know the name of the Pope of the Kingdom of Saint, let alone the few archbishops. The only higher-ups he was familiar with were Saintess Heroria and Desireless.
"Then Mr. Josiah, the mission you want to entrust us with is …"
"The 'top' I mentioned before isn't just referring to your combat power." Josiah pointed at his head. "I remember that most mercenary missions are to hunt monsters in the wild. You should be very familiar with the dangerous monsters that inhabit all over the world, right?"
"We are also experts." Reyek nodded with certainty.
"Then what about wild herbs and alchemy materials?"
Josiah's questions reminded Reyek of the time when he went to the alchemy workshop to apply for a job. The owner of the workshop also asked a series of similar questions.
"This … is not my specialty." "However, there are also people in our mercenary group who are proficient in this field, including the effects of herbs and where to collect them. It's the same for alchemy materials. So, Mr. Josh, what do you want us to collect?"
"I don't want to collect anything because I know nothing about alchemy." Josiah's answer made Reyek feel like he was fooled, but Josiah's next words stunned Reyek.
"Have you considered changing your profession?"
"Hey! Leader is … "
The archer was eavesdropping by the side with his sister in his arms. As soon as he heard that Josiah was going to poach them, he jumped out immediately. But it didn't take long for him to realize what was going on.
Josiah wasn't referring to Reyek alone, but the entire Jefrick Snake!
"My team members aren't good at acting," Reyek said in an awkward tone as he rubbed his smooth head.
Reyek had investigated Josiah's industry in Noland, so if Josiah wanted them to change their profession, Reyek could only think of acting in movies.
"I didn't ask you to be actors." Josiah clapped his hands, and a tall sinful demon slowly walked out from behind Josiah.
The sinful demon held a complicated magic-guided machine in its hand and placed it between Reyek and Josiah.
