Firefly Journey

Chapter 125 The Milky Way Turns and Sails Dance (8)

The college's task posting area was not far from the dormitory. It was Lin Yuanran's first time there. When he walked in, he only saw a few scattered classmates.

There are plenty of good commissions, but they will be snatched up immediately. Lin Yuanran estimates that most of the commissions that are still left are unwanted.

This is the fact.

Lin Yuanran browsed around and found that the missions on the list were either dangerous, had low rewards, or were located in other provinces, which were very far from Yicheng.

After going through the whole process, Lin Yuanran found a task he liked.

The mission was issued by Endor Newspaper, a prestigious media outlet in Ilham, and its commission was to protect a war correspondent.

The Yicheng Daily, under the Endor Press, became incredibly popular, thanks to its firsthand information: wars between nations were a common topic of conversation among ordinary people, and they naturally wouldn't let it pass.

Thus, the profession of war correspondent emerged. They were fearless and dedicated to revealing the most authentic side of war.

Lin Yuanran was also a little scared, with an instinctive fear of the battlefield, but when he saw the generous reward, he couldn't help but be tempted.

3000 points, converted into the Duchy's currency, is a full 3 gold coins!

An ordinary person might not earn that much in their entire life.

The task deadline is one month, which means that after one month, no matter where the war correspondent is, it will have nothing to do with the person who was entrusted with the task.

Lin Yuanran knew that being a bodyguard on the battlefield was an extremely dangerous job, but the rewards were also very considerable.

The reason no one is taking on this commission is probably because the risks and rewards are disproportionate.

Those who can attend St. Louis College are generally either rich or noble; Lin Yuanran is a rare exception.

After weighing the options in his mind, Lin Yuanran decided it was feasible, so he gritted his teeth and went for it!

Only then did he realize that this seemed to be a group project, and several other people had already signed up before him...

"Excuse me, classmate, could you help me register this?" Lin Yuanran tore off the task assignment form and went to the classmate handling the matter.

The classmate took it and glanced at it, immediately showing an expression of admiration. Lin Yuanran felt a little embarrassed. "I'm not going to my death, don't get so excited..."

"Student, with you included, this commission is now officially in effect. Your destination is the northern grasslands, the battlefield between the northern tribes and the Debasa Empire. Good luck," said the student at the registration desk.

Lin Yuanran took a deep breath. "I know."

"Okay, the entrustment is effective for one month. You need to ask your tutor to cancel your classes this month."

Lin Yuanran said, "No problem. Since I dared to accept the commission, I am also prepared to bear the corresponding consequences."

The student smiled and registered Lin Yuanran's information. When his gaze fell on the class section, he couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Class 29? Then what am I worried about? Everyone in that class is amazing!

He then told Lin Yuanran, "The specific departure time will be decided by the employer. I will give him your information, so please keep an eye on your email."

Lin Yuanran nodded and then left the mission posting area.

……

Cassius would arrive every Monday morning to explain some basic magical theories. Students usually sought out practical advice on their own when they had questions.

During this period, he took the initiative to check Lin Yuanran's progress in boiling furnace cultivation once, and the result was satisfactory.

Lin Yuanran's bodyguard appointment period is one month, during which he will definitely miss classes, so he has to ask for leave.

dong dong!

"Come in."

Lin Yuanran cautiously approached Cassius, but before he could speak, Cassius asked, "Is there a problem with the boiling furnace?"

Lin Yuanran shook his head. "I need to ask for leave."

“A request for leave?” Cassius frowned. “You don’t have any real relatives in Torreg Town, do you?”

Lin Yuanran realized he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "I just accepted a commission..."

"Go north? That's not a safe place."

"I am already a second-level awakener, and I have the ability to protect myself."

"Have you thought it through?"

"Think about it!"

Cassius suddenly smiled. "That's right. I've said it before, my students should be out there braving the winds and waves. You're not the only one on this kind of mission, so be careful in everything you do."

Also, do you remember the Nell brothers?

The Nell Brothers?

Lin Yuanran remembered; they were the orc brothers he had met in Torreg before.

Cassius Bello continued, "I get along with them quite well. They're currently in the northern tundra. If I run into trouble, I can go to them and use the little mudmen."

Lin Yuanran hadn't expected that the two brothers would be on the northern battlefield. This was something he hadn't anticipated, and he didn't ask why. Since his teacher had said so, he wouldn't hold back.

"Ok."

"protect yourself."

……

Lin Yuanran took leave and waited for three more days before the client's letter finally arrived.

The other party told him to meet at the Endor newspaper office.

For two copper coins, Lin Yuanran took a bus to the headquarters of Endor Newspaper.

The domed building was very impressive, with people in different outfits coming and going. Lin Yuanran walked into the newspaper office and slowly searched for the room according to the room number given by the client.

"This is it."

Lin Yuanran knocked politely on the door, and someone quickly opened it from the inside.

"It seems our last member has arrived."

The person who opened the door for him was a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and with dark skin, who looked like he worked outdoors all year round.

"Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this area, it took me ages to find my way..." Lin Yuanran said apologetically, because he seemed to be the last one to arrive.

"It's alright, please sit down," the middle-aged man said gently.

Lin Yuanran sat down and only then did he notice a familiar face in the crowd.

Princess of Delos, Claudia Elilanca!

Why is she here?

Is she short of money?

"Hello, Ario."

Claudia took the initiative to greet him, so he couldn't refuse.

"Hello……"

At this point, the middle-aged reporter said, "Now that everyone is here, but we don't know each other yet, we'll be partners for the next month, so we should at least know each other's strengths."

"I'll go first. I'm Victor, a reporter for the Endor newspaper, and also the one who commissioned this mission. I don't possess any supernatural abilities."

Since he had said that, the employers introduced themselves one by one.

"Boros Fell, former professional soldier of the Duchy, a second-level awakener, whose profession is 'Earth Mage'."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face; he was physically strong and not a student of St. Louis.

It seems that in addition to the academy, the very experienced journalist Victor has also issued recruitment notices in the general public.

A beautiful, slender, brown-haired woman said, "Julian, a Second Awakener, whose profession is 'Shadow Assassin'."

After saying that, she glanced in Claudia's direction, seemingly wondering why such a pretty girl would take on this kind of mission.

Lin Yuanran had never heard of the "Shadow Assassin" before; he guessed it must be a profession of the Dark Temple.

Next up were the people from St. Louis College.

There was a sleazy-looking guy whose eyes kept lingering on Julianne's sensitive areas, only looking away when he introduced himself.

He introduced himself as “Dick O’Neill, a second-level ‘Light Chaser’.”
