When the lady behind the counter saw Fangzheng and his party, she was quite surprised.
"Sir Knight, Miss Priestess, you're back? Where have you been all this time? "
"We found a place to train them."
"Indeed …"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the lady behind the counter carefully observed the priestess and the others around him.
"Indeed … They look more like adventurers than before. Where have you been?"
"The Deepest Labyrinth. We stayed there for a few days …"
"There?!"
Hearing until here, even the counter lady couldn't help but be surprised. Although she had never been there before, she had heard rumors about the Deepest Labyrinth. Unlike ordinary missions, the Deepest Labyrinth was a hellish existence for adventurers. Not only was it easy to get lost in that kind of place, but there was also no way to get supplies.
Nowadays, adventurers were becoming more and more professional, so very few people went to that kind of place to challenge themselves.
After all, the reason why they became adventurers was to support their families, not to throw away their lives.
"No wonder everyone's essence, Qi, and spirit look different."
While muttering to herself, the lady behind the counter carefully looked at the girls around Fangzheng. She had never seen Alys before, so she couldn't say for sure, but the priestess and the lady behind the counter knew. If they looked like rookies before, now they all had the aura of real adventurers.
Unfortunately, almost no one would do that now.
The lady behind the counter had heard from many old adventurers that a long time ago, when the Adventurer's Guild was just established, the way the old birds brought the newcomers was to go for a spin in the Deepest Labyrinth. As long as they came out of it, they would be qualified adventurers. However, with the increasing standardization of the guild's rules and regulations, coupled with the fact that the concept of adventurers was different from before, such people were basically nowhere to be seen.
What she didn't expect was that Fangzheng actually knew how to use such an "old-school" method at such a young age.
"So, are you here to accept a mission?"
"Yes, accept this mission."
While saying that, Fangzheng placed a mission on the table.
"Caravan's … guards? That takes a lot of time. "
"It's okay, we know."
What Fangzheng wanted was a time-consuming commission, which wasn't very popular in the Adventurer's Guild. This was because adventurers generally had their own areas of activity. Just like animals with their own territories, it was very dangerous to rashly leave one's territory and venture elsewhere. However, the caravans had to travel long distances to reach faraway places.
This was what the adventurers didn't like.
Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also not a lot of money. Moreover, no one knew what kind of dangers they would encounter on the road. Bandits and Goblins were still manageable, but what if they encountered Trolls, Snowmen, or even Drakes?
This was beyond the scope of his job!
Adventurers were the least willing to do this kind of job, where the pay was low, the work was high, and the risk was random.
But to Fangzheng, it didn't matter. What he wanted was to run away!
"Then, Sir Knight, will you be going as well?"
"I'll follow behind, but I won't participate."
After this period of training, Fangzheng felt that the three girls were almost ready to graduate. This time, the mission was actually led by the priestess. After all, Hui Hui was a chuunibyou, and Aise was a natural. Only the priestess could be responsible for communicating with others.
Fangzheng just needed to follow behind and watch.
"I understand."
The receptionist took a quill and quickly recorded the relevant information.
"Then, I wish you all a safe return soon."
After accepting the mission, the priestess took Hui Hui and Aise to the caravan for the handover, while Fangzheng followed beside them. Nominally, he was also a member of the team, but Fangzheng promised not to do anything along the way.
The escort mission of the caravan was boring. They didn't have the luck of a certain cursed thief, and they didn't encounter a lot of trouble. There was only one time when they encountered a pack of wolves when they were camping, and Hui Hui directly blew them up with a burst spell. This greatly increased Hui Hui's reputation in the caravan. But for Fangzheng, looking at Hui Hui who was so proud of herself, he could only sigh.
But at that moment, Fangzheng received a call from Mei Yin.
"You want to take your parents and sister to other worlds?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows, and Mei Yin nodded.
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking …."
Compared to Fangzheng, Mei Yin was also a transmigrator, so her life was unspeakably bitter. Although her family was considered an urban one, they weren't even well-off. They could barely make ends meet. Not to mention, the civilization of this world was not very developed. Civilians at the bottom of society like Mei Yin still wore wooden shoes.
This was still considered good. In places like the slums, they would all be barefoot. There were no shoes to wear at all.
Mei Yin's parents and sister had lived in this world since they were born, so they naturally took it for granted. But for a girl from a middle-class family who came from a modern society, who had enough to eat and wear, a mobile phone to play with, a computer to watch, and could go out to eat at restaurants anytime, anywhere, it was completely unacceptable.
There were no toilets in this world, not even toilet paper. Books were not something ordinary people could afford. Moreover, the social status of civilians was low, even lower than that of merchants. The nobles could do whatever they wanted to them. For Mei Yin, this world was simply hell ….
Of course, if she could only live like this, she would grit her teeth and persevere. But Fangzheng's appearance gave her a second choice. This immediately made Mei Yin feel tempted.
"I don't want to abandon my parents like Kaguya did. Although … I'm not very familiar with them, I can feel that they really love me …."
"So you want to take them to the moon with you?"
Upon hearing Mei Yin's words, Fangzheng chuckled. He had naturally heard of Kaguya's story. An old couple found a baby in the bamboo and raised her. She became a rare beauty that was rarely seen in the surrounding villages. Because of this, many nobles came to propose to her, but in the end, Kaguya was taken back by an emissary from the moon …. Well, her parents stayed on Earth.
This was indeed a bit similar to Mei Yin's.
"Can I?"
"I have no problem with that, but how are you going to explain it to them?"
Staring at Mei Yin, Fangzheng spread his hands. He was alone in this world after his rebirth, so he did not need to worry about these things at all. But Mei Yin was obviously different from him.
"According to what you said before, this is considered possession. How are you going to explain it to them? That your daughter is actually dead, and you're a soul from another world who has occupied her body? "
"Well …."
Hearing this, Mei Yin suddenly hesitated.
"Also, you should know very well that modern society is different from this world. If your parents go to that world, how will they survive? They don't understand the words of the modern world, and they don't understand the rules and laws of modern society. How are they going to live? Earn money to support their family? Have you ever thought about this? "
"Well … I really haven't thought about it …."
Mei Yin lowered her head dejectedly when she heard Fangzheng's question. But it was not surprising. She was just a college girl before her rebirth, the kind that spent all day in the library. In other words, she had not experienced the cruel beating of society such as graduation and job hunting, so she naturally thought things would be simpler.
"It's okay. There's still time. Take your time to think about it."
Fangzheng chatted with Mei Yin for a while longer before hanging up. Recently, Mei Yin would chat with him every day. After all, the two transmigrators could be said to be in the same boat …. But at least Fangzheng was better off than Mei Yin. After all, he did not transmigrate into a weak and sickly little girl.
That would be really tragic.
If I transmigrate into such a little girl …. Tsk tsk tsk. Just thinking about it made Fangzheng shudder.
Although being a cultist was a little troublesome, it was still better than being a little girl.
"Sir Knight."
Just as Fangzheng was lamenting, the priestess hurried over.
"What's wrong?"
"It's like this. We just met with a caravan from the front and got some information …. They said …. It's not safe ahead."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes.
"What's the specific situation?"
"We heard that there's a vampire wreaking havoc ahead. It's a terrifying monster with long silver hair and a bloody mouth …. Many people have died in the hands of that vampire …. The boss of the caravan hopes that we can continue to protect them. He's even willing to double the reward …."
That was normal. Putting aside the priestess and Ai Si, Hui Hui's explosive magic was a genuine Gold-tier magic. Ordinary vampires could be killed in one shot.
"So what do you plan to do?"
"Well …. I want to continue with the mission. No matter what, this is our first mission since we formed a party. We can't fail again …."
The priestess was somewhat unwilling to give up. She had accepted two missions after becoming an adventurer. The first mission was a party wipe, and the second mission was a failure because of Lina's interference. Now that she finally had her own party, the priestess hoped that she could make a good start.
If she failed this mission again, the priestess would be traumatized.
"But if the other party is too strong, I hope that Sir Knight can help …. In return, we can give you half of the reward."
"Hmm …."
Fangzheng was silent for a moment. He reached out his hand and patted the priestess on the shoulder.
"Although I'm still a little immature when it comes to negotiating terms, I'm more or less qualified. Don't worry, if that vampire is really troublesome …. I'll deal with it myself."
