The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Compared to the Adventurer's Guild, the atmosphere here is much better, and the indoor ventilation and lighting are very good.

There were not many people here, and everyone was talking in low voices. When Lorenno walked into the mission office, her hair stood up immediately, and all the eyes that came over her were threatening.

"Hello, how can I help you? I am the guide of the Imperial Representation Office."

A sweet voice sounded from the side, and the girl with short red hair asked with a business smile. Lorenno subconsciously looked at her limbs to judge whether she was a professional.

"I'm here to apply for a mission. This is my adventurer certificate."

Lorenno took out the adventurer's certificate that Owulf had given her. Ordinary certificates could only go to the smoky guild to carry out missions. In exchange for bringing a letter to Owulf, she got this adventure letter stamped by an imperial official and the seal of the Owulf family. who proves it.

Its function allows Lorenno to save a lot of trouble and directly join the imperial mission, instead of starting from the Adventurer's Guild and saving a lot of trouble.

Chapter 14 Getting involved in the struggle

After taking the certificate and checking it, the conductor returned it to Lorenno and bent slightly: "Please follow me."

When she came to the queue window, she said: "This is the place where adventurers are registered. Due to the laws of the empire, all personnel who receive missions at the imperial dispatch office must undergo physical registration to prevent professionals from various problems. Circumstances, please forgive me, this is necessary.”

"Then where is that information?"

Lorenno did not resist, his curiosity was aroused again, and the guide gently explained:

"The imperial mission in every big city has a small message transmission device. Your information will eventually be transmitted back to the imperial headquarters. If you have nothing else to do, please wait here and follow the receptionist's instructions. Just follow the process.”

Lorenno stood at the back of the queue and waited. When it was her turn, she handed over her adventurer certificate, and the counter staff placed the certificate on something similar to a scanner.

As the green magic circle appeared, she nodded and pressed a button. A magic barrier appeared outside Lorenno and the counter. In an environment where there were only two people, she confirmed: "Confirm again, Lorenno, race half-elf, 15 Years old, born in Demon Suppression Town, birthday is January 532, 1 in the imperial calendar, that’s right.”

"Yes."

"Your appearance is required here. Please take off your hat, glasses and other coverings," the counter staff said skillfully. "Don't worry, all employees of the empire have the 'Endless Light' contract with them. Don't worry that we will spread the word about you." Any news, otherwise we will receive divine punishment."

Lorenno took off his hat, and the counter clerk was only slightly surprised. He quickly handed Lorenno the adventure certificate and a medal:

"All procedures have been completed. You have been recorded on the empire's information system and can choose tasks to complete on your own."

"Please be careful not to accept tasks that exceed your capabilities. The evaluation of task completion will have an impact on your credit."

"And if the client makes a malicious comment, you can also appeal and we will handle it as quickly as possible," the counter staff repeated, "it is the fastest speed. Please don't be afraid of the client's status or worry about the empire's You are being protected, but if there is persecution or other attacks after entrustment, we may not be able to assist you."

That is, you will definitely do what you are required to do, but there is nothing you can do about other things.

Lorenno nodded in disbelief, put on his hat again, and walked to the corner with a large crystal screen on the other side. There were a bunch of machines underneath, and tasks were constantly being refreshed on the smooth panel of unknown material.

"The whole body material of the earth-boring worm: unlimited"

"Fairy's Phosphorus Powder 100g"

"Hidden Cult Exploration"

"The phenomenon of haunting in noble mansions"

……

About 300 tasks are repeatedly refreshed on the machine, of which about [-] are from the Mage Guild and are related to materials, all of which are supplied in unlimited time and in unlimited quantities. The rest are dangerous or unknown tasks.

Lorenno took a closer look and found out - with her strength, she really couldn't pick it up?

The main reason is that the above description of strength is all about low-level and high-level, and is not accurate to the level of professionals. However, based on her knowledge, the monsters on the mission can only be defeated by at least level [-] or [-] professionals.

But level doesn't mean everything, and it's impossible to say for sure... Lorenno hammered her head, mainly because she didn't know what she was doing

As for where the hard power lies, there is a huge gap between low- and middle-level people, while the gap between low-level ordinary professionals is smaller. The mainland's division of power is very poor, and it still depends on actual combat.

"Is there a place similar to a gladiatorial arena in Cardinal City?"

Lorenno found the guide and asked, and after thinking about it, she said, "Is this a serious arena?"

"No, it's the kind that will kill people if it's not serious."

"Yes, you first..."

……

After walking out of the mission office, Lorenno followed the instructions and approached the arena. It would not be too late to test his true strength before participating in the mission.

After delivering envelopes, checking in to hotels, and wandering around, night was about to fall at the end of the day. Lorenno looked at the sunset, preparing to find the arena and go back to the hotel to rest. Just as she was thinking this, the pillar-like decorations standing on the street suddenly suddenly lights up.

Lorenno stood still in shock, looking at the glowing pillar. Is this a street lamp? ?

On the other hand, a passerby laughed and said, "I've never seen a magic lamp before. You must be from the countryside."

Ignoring the ridicule of passers-by, Lorenno tapped his eyebrows to calm down his chaotic thoughts and continued walking forward. The reason why he didn't think it was a street lamp was because it didn't look like it. There was nothing similar to a light bulb. He thought it was some kind of city protection. A device for constructing a barrier.

He didn’t explain too much about the outside world to her, and because of the memories of time travellers, plus the situation in Demon Suppressor Town and the towns along the way in his mind, Lorenno originally thought that the popularity of his mainland magic was not very high. Gao, it was just an organization under the jurisdiction of the empire that popularized magic items. As a result, I really became a country boy. I adjusted my mentality and labeled my memories about the alien continent as not very trustworthy.

Along the way, Lorenno can clearly feel the improvement in the level of science and technology. Now she has refreshed her understanding of the continent. However, Noel Continent should be a world with "moderate magic penetration". Big cities can effectively use technology, and small towns can use technology effectively. It has not yet spread to cities and towns.

As he was about to approach the arena, Lorenno took the road with fewer pedestrians. When he passed an alley, he heard the sound of fighting coming from inside. He slowed down his steps, and then walked forward at a normal speed, not planning to help. Both Ben and her mother taught her to mind her own business, except when it was beneficial to herself, and she didn't want to get into trouble.

But just after walking a certain distance, she had to stop when she heard a familiar voice. Lawrence's voice came from the alley: "Wojin, I didn't see anything. Can't you just throw me at your feet like a copper plate?" !!”

"Tsk."

Lorenno glanced at the dimensional bag. The few extra gold coins were still in it. He turned around and stepped on the light pole, jumped onto the sign of a store and climbed to the roof. He approached the place where the sound came from with concealed steps and looked at it with sharp eyes. Lawrence and several people who besieged him.

In the narrow alley, the larger Lawrence was on the side against the wall, holding up a large shield to block the attack. His attacker was on the other side. It seemed that all the soldiers could not go around to the roof to attack, so they had to Deadlock here.

Lorenno didn't stay for long, he drew his bow and arrow, aimed at the enemy on the ground and shouted: "Those below, can you stop!"

The violent attack suddenly stopped. Lawrence saw Lorenno's body relax, but his attacker burst out with great murderous intent towards Lorenno and quickly disappeared. They stared at the two people closely, and finally slowly Slowly back away from the alley.

"Come on."

"Of course I know. Thanks!"

Under Lorenno's instructions, Lawrence waited until they really left before putting away his large shield. He followed her as she jumped down and ran close to the Temple of Endless Light before stopping.

When he arrived at the room he had reserved, Lorenno poured the businessman a cup of tea and asked seriously: "How did you get into trouble with them?"

Hearing this question, Lawrence's already pale face became even uglier. He looked up at Lorenno and finally gave a wry smile: "Damn, I...how did you let me meet him?"

Lorenno was already involved in saving him, so he didn't dare to hide it and tell everything in full.

After separating from Lorenno, Lawrence drove the carriage to bring the spices back to his small chamber of commerce, went to the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth to worship the goddess, and then went to the colorful yard to have fun. After finishing, he was preparing to go home and have fun calculating. How much profit can there be this time?

There were no problems until here, but when passing by an alley, he vaguely heard someone talking about "stealing", "before they reacted", "even they couldn't catch the handle", etc. Lawrence thought it was something. What kind of little thief wants to steal something and is going to blackmail that group of people or wait until they finish stealing?

As he leaned closer and listened more clearly, he felt more and more something was wrong - those guys were not little thieves, and what they wanted to steal was neither money nor property.

"what is that?"

Lawrence slumped on the chair and cried without tears: "Do you remember what I told you on the way about the recent turmoil in Cardinal City? I heard them saying that they wanted to shuffle the upper echelons of Cardinal City, completely withdraw from the empire and join the principality. federal."

Lorenno understood immediately when she heard this. She, who was always calm, stood up from her stool and shouted: "Oh my god! You won't tell me that they are rebels, damn they talk about that kind of thing." Why don’t you find a private place??”

The subsequent voice immediately dropped, and Lorenno slapped his head. If he had known better, he would not have saved this money-grubbing guy, but he ended up getting himself into such a big trouble.

"How do I know?!" Lawrence said aggrievedly, "I heard they said they wanted to

I was trembling all over to let Cardinal City break away from the control of the empire and join the Principality Federation. I was wondering if there were a few lunatics, but I looked through a small hole and saw that there were really people with the emblem of the Lauta family inside! "

Moreover, he was discovered directly because he stepped on the broken glass due to surprise.

Lorenno suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard the badge: "Whoever becomes a rebel will wear the badge of his family on his body. Wait, please tell me about the management structure of Cardinal City first."

After hearing these words, Lawrence also reacted. The situation was now more complicated. He regarded Lorenno as a brother in trouble and immediately explained to the little guy in front of him.

As mentioned before, Cardinal City nominally belongs to the empire, but the real power is in the hands of the local nobles. The duchy, federation and empire send people to manage and monitor, while trying to make the local nobles turn to their side.

Among the nobles, there are four most influential families, [Lauta], [Holly], [Jackson], and [Flain].

Lawrence has been working here for so many years, and all he has heard is that Lauta stands with the Empire, and Holly stands with the Principality and Federation. The other two remain neutral, that is, they are just wallflowers muddying the waters, eating sweets, and shirk tasks.

"It's that simple," Lawrence grabbed his hair and stood up suddenly, "I don't understand what's going on. No, I can't sit still and wait for death. I have to run!"

Lorenno touched his pointed ears and shook his head: "According to what you said, how could those big shots let you run away? The guards might come over."

"There is still a chance!" Lawrence said quickly, "It will take time to paint my portrait. I can just run away. You should run away too!"

Lorenno stood up and moved his fingers slightly, but still said: "Follow me to the Temple of Endless Light to hide."

"I am a businessman who has committed crimes after all. They will not protect me there. Goodbye!"

Lorenno watched Lawrence go downstairs with his purple eyes and sighed slightly.

She didn't know if Lawrence could walk, but she was probably fine - after all, she had been wearing the wolf hat all the time, and when the time came, she would just change her clothes and reveal her identity as a half-elf. Although the trouble would increase, it would not change. She was being hunted all over the city. As for her height, she was half-kneeling on the roof at that time. There was a shield to protect her from being discovered.

and also……

Lorenno sat on the stool, his eyes gradually brightening.

She had a certificate from an adventurer from the empire, and she could tell it to the imperial mission. It didn’t matter if they didn’t believe it. If they believed it and went to investigate, they would definitely find out something. But her own safety was the worst, so she ran into the Temple of Endless Light. The forces in Quecheng who wanted to rebel could not arrest her with unfounded reasons. The priests of the temple could lie and detect spells.

In this way, if the rebellion can be ended in the cradle, she may become a major contributor to this incident.

But Lorenno always felt that something was wrong. Why did Lawrence happen to run into the scene of the conspiracy? As a rebel, shouldn't he be careful and careful? He actually let a businessman meet the people below talking about rebellion.

As a person with the memory of a time traveler, Lorenno was very strange, but he couldn't find the reason. After thinking for a moment, Lorenno decided to run to the Temple of Endless Light first. It would definitely be safe there.

After exiting the room, Lorenno took a few steps to the temple. It was already dark, and most of the temple staff had rested, but she was still ushered in. The sleepy Alice saw Lorenno waving: "Xiao Nuo, why are you here? ,is there anything that I can help."

"I have something urgent to tell you, Lord Bishop, about Cardinal City's rebellion from the Empire to the Commonwealth of the Principality -"

Before she finished speaking, Alice's confused eyes suddenly cleared up, she covered Lorenno's little mouth and said seriously: "Follow me."

After being led into a study room, Bishop Sal, who was immersed in writing something, looked up and was surprised to see Lorenno: "Mr. Lorenno, what's wrong with you coming so late?"

"Master Bishop, use [Detect Lies]. Xiaonuo said that she saw something about the rebellion in Cardinal City." Alice said.

Bishop Sal ​​realized the seriousness and raised his hand to see a flash of light. Lorenno also told the whole story from when he met Lawrence to when he left. The fact that the flash of light did not change meant that at least what she "said" was correct. It was true. This made Sal immediately realize the seriousness of the matter and said to Alice: "Miss Lorenno has arranged it for you. If he wants to leave, he can leave. If he wants to stay, he can stay. Call the other chief priests over. "

"Yes."

After leaving the study, Lorenno saw that the silent temple immediately started to work, and everyone started to get busy because of her few words.

Chapter 15 The Arena

In a guest room of the temple, Lorenno looked at the brightly lit temple and asked Alice, who was sitting next to her reading a book: "Sister Alice, if there is really a rebellion, what will you do?"

Closing the book, Alice took off her unilateral glasses and said: "God said - return to gods what is divine, and return to mortals what is mortal."

"Our Temple of Endless Light, no, it should be said that most of the temples will remain neutral towards secular power struggles and will only allow irrelevant civilians to enter the temple for protection. Unless a cult intervenes, we will definitely not take any action. "

The beautiful girl raised her ear and said, "So you can rest assured that as long as you stay here, nothing will happen."

"But..." Lorenno remembered the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation, and finally stood up and said: "Maybe it's better for me not to stay here."

"Are you going to tell the imperial mission?" Alice had already guessed what she was going to do. "I suggest you

Don't go well. "

"Why?" Lorenno looked confused.

Alice explained: "It's just a dispatch office over there, not a place where the empire handles these matters at all. They are ordinary people. If you tell them, they will definitely be implicated like you. Normally you should tell Lauta Home, but..."

But that man was wearing the coat of arms of the Lauta family.

Lorenno, whose ambition was interrupted, lowered her head. She originally thought she could make a contribution, but it turned out to be like this. She said unwillingly: "Can no one tell me? Is it possible that all four families will fall to that side?"

"That's not true. If it's true as you said, they must be at odds with each other, but the main reason is that you can't tell who your friends are," Alice shook her head and said, "If you can confirm who has no connection with the Federation, that's no problem. But you can’t confirm it.”

"Ah, that's right." Lorenno's thoughts of meritorious deeds subsided. He lay on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. He immediately thought about how the fat businessman was doing and whether he had escaped.

After a night, Lorenno sat up from the bed. After going out, he found Alice who was explaining the doctrine. When she was free, he asked, "Nothing happened last night, right?"

"No, but there are many people looking here, and some people have anonymously sent letters to Bishop Sal," Alice touched Lorenno's ear and said, "You are right, Cardinal City is going to undergo great changes. Well, I suggest you stay in the temple."

"...No, I still want to become a high-level professional as soon as possible." The girl shook her head. Staying in the temple was not helpful to her, and it was also time to change her cloak.

Lorenno took off his original cloak and put on a leather jacket that was easier to move around. He put a hat on his head to cover his ears and only exposed his face.

After dealing with his own problems, Lorenno ran out of the temple again. As soon as he walked out, he felt the dark eyes focusing on him, but he quickly moved away, thinking that a child of about 15 years old was not the one to be followed.

As soon as she took to the street, Lorenno's handsome face attracted many people's attention. She was not nervous and began to secretly search for clues related to Lawrence. After walking around Cardinal City and getting familiar with the route, Lorenno Lennuo found a room in the hotel again with a solemn look on his face.

First of all, Lawrence's small chamber of commerce has been sealed, and it seems that something has happened. Secondly, he learned from the hotel owner that the guards in the room where he originally lived had been searched.

Stuffing her hair, Lorenno didn't know what to do next. She was not a person with strong opinions to begin with. She was just trying to survive in Demon Suppressor Town. Now let her find a goal or something...

【Increase strength. 】

She struggled for longer and longer, and finally, another person in her mind was awakened by Lorenno's irritable thoughts.
