I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Elena walked quickly to the blacksmith shop, and as expected, the blacksmith still hadn't come back.

I don't know which big shot invited him there, and he hasn't come back for so many days. I'm afraid he's been locked up in the basement forging iron every day.

Thinking about all these, Elena walked into the blacksmith shop.

What surprised him was that Melissa looked like she had been waiting for a long time. She stood not far behind the door, leaning against a giant blade, with her hands on her chest and her eyebrows raised.

Seeing Elena's figure, the other party obviously showed a little smile, and even had a little expectation in her eyes.

It seems that the meat meal yesterday was not in vain. Elena could clearly feel that his relationship with the other party had improved.

Elena's thoughts were a little incomplete. The meat played a role. The reason why Melissa was so active today was actually that she would teach Elena some real forging skills next, instead of swinging a hammer all day long.

This girl gets excited whenever she talks about forging.

"Sister Melissa, I want to ask for leave. I don't have time to come this month. I have some things to deal with."

As a result, Elena poured cold water on Melissa right away. He didn't come to study at all. Instead, he came to "say goodbye".

"What do you mean?"

Melissa frowned slightly, and seemed very unhappy to hear what Elena said.

She finally saw this weak child getting better little by little, but now he wanted to ask for leave in front of her.

"I really have something urgent to do. I will be back in a month. Sister Melissa, you don't have to care about me."

Obviously aware of the other party's unhappy mood, Elena said a little embarrassedly.

He didn't want to tell the current situation of the orphanage. After all, he didn't want to win anyone's sympathy.

Although it was likely that Melissa would help, Elena didn't have the thick skin to ask Melissa for the huge sum of 100 gold coins.

But when it comes to the last resort, Elena will still bow his head and ask Melissa for help. What he needs to do now is to reduce the amount as much as possible.

Shinichi asked for a hundred gold coins. Elena felt that Melissa might think that he would run away directly after taking the money.

"Hurry up and finish it."

Melissa said a little coldly, and she looked a little unhappy.

The boy in front of her was hiding something from her, and Melissa could easily see it. This made her feel a little annoyed, and this feeling of being distrusted really made her very dissatisfied.

Without disturbing Melissa, Elena walked towards the guild with a big backpack on his back.

As soon as he arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, he was warmly welcomed by the people around him.

Since defeating the elite pig-headed man, Elena's strength has been recognized by everyone in this southern city area.

It has been a long time since there has been such a promising adventurer like Elena in the South City. Both the guild staff and other adventurers are excited about Elena's existence.

Many people are even imagining whether a new legend will be born in front of their eyes.

Facing the eager eyes around him, Elena still has a sour face. He has no intention and will not show off.

In the eyes of others, he is a rising star with a promising future, but he knows better than anyone that he is just a poor man who owes a hundred gold coins.

The so-called rising star is just a joke. Elena has been able to touch the ceiling of his limit.

He hasn't felt the feeling of rapid improvement in his physical fitness for a long time. It's not good news that he has been stuck here without much progress.

Looking at Elena's sour face, the guild staff subconsciously swallowed their breath. They felt that Elena was still angry about the wrong information yesterday.

Little did they know that this petite silver-haired adventurer was just worrying about money.

Walking to the commission column, looking at the densely packed tasks, Elena subconsciously touched his chin.

The development of the South City is not very good, but there is never a shortage of adventurer tasks, and it can even be described as full during this period.

Defeat the jackals that roam near Chengqiang, defeat the goblin group ambushing on the small road outside the city, find the culprit that harms the farmland...

The various commissions are dazzling, which is probably due to the chaos in the Monster Forest now. If something hadn't happened inside the forest, these monsters would not be so active.

Finally, Elena's eyes fell on the most conspicuous task in the commission column

-Investigate the source of the chaos in the Monster Forest

Reward: ten gold coins

A very tempting task, for the money-strapped Elena, it was simply a naked beauty, but such a task was the most difficult to complete.

First of all, the task requirements alone were very vague. It was easy to say that investigating the source was easy, but it was much more difficult to do it than imagined.

After all, the chaos in the Monster Forest might be caused by the intrusion of some powerful monsters, or some new natural phenomenon that people did not notice, or simply the monsters themselves became active without any reason.

It might be easier to solve the chaos in the Monster Forest. Killing all the monsters that made trouble, or driving away the powerful monster, would be much easier than investigating everywhere without knowing the reason.

But even so, Elena still felt difficult. He shook his head and did not consider this task for the time being.

There were people who had been greedy for so many tasks with rewards, but no one had been able to complete them until now, and the guild had never given anyone these ten gold coins. It is conceivable how difficult this task was.

To be fair, Elena knew that his experience and strength far exceeded that of ordinary adventurers who had just started their careers, but in terms of investigation and research, he did not think he had the ability to get involved in such a slightly professional field.

Time was very tight, but he did not dare and did not have the capital to take risks, so he tore off some tasks that could be completed along the way on the task bar.

He took it to the counter and communicated with the familiar poster girl. After confirming all the procedures, he set off with a dry sack.

Today was destined to be a day of killing, or a bloody hell for a month.

He took out the map given to him by the guild and planned all the routes where monsters might appear. He needed to do the most tasks in the shortest time.

For the time being, he did not consider whether he could save one platinum coin, that is, one hundred gold coins, by the end of the month. He would work hard first and then consider it. When it was really too late, he would think of other ways.

Elena could only think like this. After all, if he did not do this, he would easily feel desperate, and he was unwilling to give up.
