Request for nomination (1)
nomination request.
It was literally a request to designate and entrust a specific grade or mercenary.
Originally, it was common to recruit mercenaries by accepting requests from the guild and setting a recommended grade.
However, if the client side points out a specific grade or person for more reliable work, a nomination request is made.
Of course, if that happened, the request fee would increase, and if a specific mercenary was nominated, it would increase even more.
Would it be called a special nomination request?
That’s why such a nomination request was a rare case, and I also didn’t have that much experience.
“A special emergency nomination request?”
“Yes, this is a very special request only for Mr. Irvin. Findel branch first! You can be proud of yourself! Shall I contact Rize?”
“Don’t make a fuss. Are you sure you didn’t work today? If Rize gets angry, will you take responsibility? If you tell me to leave today because it’s urgent, I’ll be really angry.”
Because of the lack of such a special nomination, it was attached to the emergency.
It was a quest that needed an urgent solution without a long explanation, so it meant to start it faster than other schedules.
Usually left unattended and attached to an event that could lead to a bigger situation… … .
“It’s not like that, don’t worry. It’s because I’m trying to keep Mr. Irvin from doing other things.”
“Damn it. What the hell kind of guy poured so much money into it?”
It belonged to the case of setting the maximum grade possible by adding the commission fee.
In other words, it meant that he was rich with a lot of money or had a position where he could spend that much money foolishly.
“You didn’t come down from the country, did you? Or I can’t guess.”
“Take it easy. In Nara, thanks to the artifacts that Mr. Irvin found in previous commissions, he was praised by Mr. Irvin for his great achievements.”
Daisy added with the friendly smile typical of a receptionist.
“It’s no different than that’s why this request came in.”
“What is that again?”
“I have to work again soon, so can you open your eyes and accept it quickly? You can read it calmly in the room over there.”
“… … Can’t you refuse?”
I asked as if I was desperate for the last time, but Daisy just smiled calmly and answered instead.
It was a headache because it was clear that a request of this magnitude would lead to a fatal credit problem if it was rejected without any special circumstances.
I still had to continue my mercenary activities, so I felt like I had to accept it.
With her eyes still tightly closed, she received the request from Daisy.
Why is this so thick?
After entering the private room on one side of the guild and sitting down on the sofa, I opened my eyes and saw the first page of the request.
[Dear A-class mercenary Ervin]
From the first page, you put my name in it like a big door.
When I looked down to see if someone out there had made such a request, I couldn’t help but doubt whether what I saw was correct.
[Magic Tower Lord Elysion de Chamber]
… … .
Why is this man requesting me?
A completely unexpected name popped up and made my mind dizzy.
A place longed for by those who learn magic, and a place where the best wizards from all over the continent gather to study and develop magic.
The Wizard’s Tower is truly the headquarters of magic. It was called the Magic Tower for short.
Even so, for me who couldn’t learn magic, it was just a tourist destination, and it wasn’t a place I frequented often.
There was a history of smashing it once in a fit of anger, but that was in the distant past.
After confirming that the client was the owner of the Mage Tower, I knew why Daisy said that, but other questions still remained.
“I really don’t know.”
In order to guess the contents of the request, I briefly recalled the events that occurred during this time, but there was nothing that could be related to the Mage Tower.
It was a story of the distant future for many major events that could affect the continent.
That said, it could be seen that my actions or Lize had some influence.
In order to know what it is, you will have no choice but to check the contents after all.
Please, I hope it’s not trivial.
[Dear Irvin]
Ah, this was written by Elysion himself.
The request in the form of a letter written in beautiful handwriting was written by the owner of the Magic Tower himself. Just how grandiose a request he was trying to make.
I quickly skimmed through the contents at once, holding my anxiety in a corner of my heart.
oh, this?
“Irvine! You’re welcome!”
At that moment, the door burst open and an uninvited guest rushed in.
Even though I looked at him with blatant disapproval, the Cornwell branch manager sat across from me and tapped the table lightly with his thick hands.
“Have you checked the contents? If you see it, why don’t you sign it right away? You don’t think there will be a request with better conditions than this, right?”
As a matter of course, if the mercenary succeeds in the request, a certain amount of money goes back to the affiliated branch.
With this much commission, it wouldn’t be strange if Cornwell’s eyes went round. Especially if you think about what this request means.
But even if I understood everything, I couldn’t just get over this rudeness.
“Actually, I’m here to tell you that I’m going to take a break for the time being.”
“… … .”
Cornwell froze with his mouth open, and I added a shrug.
“As the branch manager knows, I am a person who has nothing to regret if I refuse this request. I hope you don’t force it too much.”
“Kuhm, I’m sorry. I was excited because it was the first time in my life that the lord of the mage tower requested a mercenary.”
It was common for wizards to be arrogant at the thought that they had been chosen.
Because of that, I also had conflicts with the wizards several times.
However, the tower owner, who is said to be at the top of the mages, wrote a request form with polite courtesy and sent it to me.
It could be said that it showed how important this request was to the Mage’s Tower, while showing that it was an unprecedented event.
Even so, I still have the final decision on this request.
“Honestly, for me, this is a bit embarrassing because I’ve been on a long-term commission right before.”
“Even if it’s a long term, it only took two days, kuhheuh.”
After glancing at Cornwell, he lowered his gaze to the request form in his hand.
It wasn’t such a difficult request.
Asking to bring something from a dungeon.
It also took a while to finish the attack, so to be honest, it took a while, but I was able to succeed.
It wasn’t difficult to accept the request, but now I had to thoroughly weigh the profit and loss as I had to move for a clear goal.
Needless to say, the cost of the request was considerable because the head of the wealthy Mage Tower requested it directly.
To the extent that the plan to prepare basic funds to make money overflows with this alone.
But is there anything that can be gained by building a friendship with the owner of the Mage Tower?
Because the Wizard’s Tower was a closed group, they were nobles with heavy hips who would hardly move no matter what.
That’s why I’ve never been involved with them in my previous life, and I’ve never deliberately tried to get involved.
I was thinking that this time too, but the other side approached me first… … .
No, wait.
To me, wizards aren’t much help, and they’re a strong race with only their egos dirty… … .
“Request, I’ll take it.”
“Oh, would you? Ha ha ha, that’s you too I believed in you.”
Along with the huge commission fee, it seemed that Cornwell’s mouth would be caught in his ears because he could build friendship with the Mage Tower.
I didn’t want to see the older man having fun any more, so I talked about the part that I should definitely point out.
“I’ll tell you in advance, but if you finish this quest, you will definitely take a break. In the meantime, if any request comes to me, I will not stand still.”
“of course. rest assured. How diligently you have been solving the quest. Would that break be worth it? Don’t worry about anything, just trust me.”
As he said that, he punched his chest, but I couldn’t believe it.
Before leaving, I felt like I should ask Daisy to put my trust in her. Even then, if another job came in, I would really knock the guild over.
“Anyway, let’s go to work. I want to review the request a little more quietly by myself.”
“Yes, yes. I wish you well. If you need anything, just tell me.”
From noble mtl dot com
“I’ll take the security support or something.”
After seeing Cornwell out of the room with a rough wave of his hand, he flipped through the request again and skimmed through the contents once more.
The first part was a letter written by Elysion, and from then on, information on the target dungeon, information on items to be retrieved, and information on additional items to be retrieved when you can afford it were written in detail.
If it were me, I could find all of these things, but… … Of course I didn’t mean to.
Still, in order to make sure that the debt was erased from the Mage Tower, I decided to give away a few things, and I decided to take care of the rest that I needed.
There were a few items that were too wasteful to just bring them to the Mage Tower.
As I was going through the data and slowly formulating a plan in my head, the biggest challenge of this job suddenly came to my mind.
Ugh, I can’t help it.
I have no choice but to pray for my hands to become feet like I originally intended to do… … .
* * *
but.
“Okay, let’s go, Dad. I’m okay.”
Contrary to what she was worried about, Rize accepted it very readily.
Even though this request explained in detail the circumstances of having to leave the house longer than before.
… … .
What is this feeling?
I was proud that Rize had become more sophisticated, but on the other hand, I was disappointed. It was very complicated.
Do you think we should have a drink while wiping away our tears?
You won’t feel this way when Rize gets married, right? No, it will be worse then. My heart hurts just thinking about it.
Rize smiled briskly and opened her mouth again, perhaps showing that emotion on her face.
“Irina unnie decided to tell you something fun while Dad is gone. That’s why I said that the time waiting for Dad would pass in an instant. We sleep together, and again, ah, this is a secret, really.”
“secret? Can’t you tell Dad?”
“Ummm, no.”
Apparently, the excitement of the new experience suppressed the loneliness.
Irina, who was standing behind Rize, was looking at me triumphantly with her shoulders stretched out as if to be seen. It’s something I’m really grateful for, but I don’t think there’s a need for such a proud expression.
Absolutely, it’s not that I’m offended or upset that Rize seems to have chosen Irina over me.
I also had an idea if Irina would come out like that.
It wasn’t urgent enough to leave right away, so I’ll clearly show you what kind of time I can spend with Rize in the meantime.
‘Do you like Daddy? Do you like Irina?’ I could have shown my dominance by asking the same question, but I remembered being told at first glance that asking a child such a question could have a negative impact.
Even if he said this, if Rize didn’t feel lonely, that must have been a good thing. Wasn’t that the reason why Irina was forced to work as a housekeeper?
Of course, I was already lonely.
As soon as the time came, I had no choice but to have Rize sit on my lap and recharge the Rize ingredients in my body.
While looking at the tip of his little toe lightly twitching, I suddenly thought of it and asked.
“Rize, don’t you want to learn something else?”
“huh? Something else?”
Was it too abstract?
Rize asked while tilting her head, and I added my words with a gentle smile.
“You are learning the sword right now. What do you think about learning to use other weapons or shields?”
“hmm… … .”
Rize seemed to be thinking quite seriously, resting her chin with both hands and munching.
Even though I couldn’t see it well from behind, I naturally imagined it.
“I like the sword now. I want to focus only on the sword.”
“Wouldn’t it be fun to learn something else?”
“Um… … .”
Still, it doesn’t seem like he’s not interested in other weapons.
I also use the sword as my main weapon, but there was nothing wrong with learning something else.
That’s why I had one more possibility for Rize.
“then… … How about magic?”
