Chapter 1183 Mercenary Tang - Part 1

?

"What do we do now? Focus on climbing up to the tower, or do you want to do a bit of exploring?" Rosalie asked, taking the seat next to the window. The house was in the temple district, so there were not many people outside aside from the priest.

"If we want to explore more, the Player Guild will be a better choice for us. If we want to climb up faster, enlisting as the mercenary in the frontline will be a better choice. I am fine either way."

Completing requests from the native would give them the chance to explore other areas and cities. The priest said that each city had different resources, meaning they could exchange the Tower Coin for the thing this city did not have. They could even go to the Demon and Beastmen's territory if they decided not to be involved in the war.

However, the war was where the resources Tang Shaoyang needed the most. The war was the source of his level, the only way for him to level up faster. The decision was obvious, the war.

"We will join the war. What I need is not the resources, level. I need to reach Legend Rank faster," Tang Shaoyang made the decision, "But if you want to explore the tower, you can wait for Zaneos and Zowen. Though I am not sure if you can meet them right away."

"No, I will follow you whatever your decision is. The boss floor is not strong enough to force me to use my bloodline transformation, so I am looking for more opponents to test my actual strength," Rosalie shook her head. She did not really care about exploring the tower. The thing she wanted the most was to help him, doing whatever she could to lessen her burden even if it was just a little.

"Then we have decided to enlist," Tang Shaoyang did not ask Lu An. That little brother of his would follow him for sure. That was the reason Lu An followed Rosalie to meet him. If Lu An wanted to explore the tower, he would be doing it by himself already.

Tang Shaoyang ended up taking out the key for the house once more, "That means we have to return the key again." To enlist, they had to meet with the Union. The Union was the replacement of the government for the human, it was similar but also different, and Tang Shaoyang did not bother to find more information about this Union. He just needed to know that this Union was the entity that governed the human side, there was no need to get involved further unless it was needed.

The group of three headed out to meet with the priest, asking the way to the Union Office while at it.

"This is the recommendation letter from the temple. They will know that you are the player with this, and it will make things easier for you. Please don't lose the letter, Sir." The same priest gave Tang Shaoyang an envelope with an intricate seal on it, "I will have a young priest to lead you to the Union Office."

The priest came over to the priest that just passed by, instructing the young priest to lead them to the Union Office. It seemed the red stripe on their robe indicated the rank among the priests. The young priest did not have the red stripe on his robe. There were other priests with one or two red stripes, and there were none with four stripes.

The young priest led the group out of the temple district. The people were respectful to the priest even though he was just a young priest. They greeted the priest with a slight bow and smile. Walking through the paved street, passing by the medieval type of building, they arrived in front of the five-story building. The big sign and golden word "Union" on it was a clear indication that they had arrived in front of the Union Office. The young priest bowed his head and then left them.

Tang Shaoyang opened the door and entered the office. There were two security guards, wearing full plate armor and a sword on their waist right to the next door. They had their hands forward and questioned Tang Shaoyang, "Who are you? What do you need in the Union Office?"

There was a long counter, divided into five sections with five clerks in each section. They were supposed to talk with the clerk, but it seemed the guards found them suspicious of their outfits and stopped them at the entrance. The guard's voice was not that loud, but clear enough for everyone in the lobby to shift their attention toward the entrance.I think you should take a look at

Tang Shaoyang took out the recommendation letter from the priest as that would solve the problem faster, "We are players. The priest who received us told us to come here if we want to enlist."

The security guards' faces flashed with surprise. It was a surprise because Tang Shaoyang and his group were the first group of players. The guards scanned the group, three people and two pets. One of the guards frowned, suspicious of the group. It was known that to climb up to the twelfth floor, the players had to defeat the boss-level monster and its minion. The guard found it hard to believe that three people defeated the boss. However, the recommendation letter was proof that the three were players. The seal was real, no one could copy the unique seal made by the temple.

The suspicious guard looked at his friend, "Wait here. I will lead them to Manager Fier." The other guard nodded.

"Please follow me. You are the first group of players in the city."

Tang Shaoyang followed the guard to the third floor through the wooden stair. They arrived in front of the door with Manager Fier's sign on it. The guard knocked on the door three times, and a man's voice came out of the room.

The guard led them to the room, and inside, there was a man that looked like in his mid-forties, scribbling through the paper. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man raised his head, pushing his glass up a little bit to see his guests. He looked surprised when the guard came to him.

"They are the first group of players who arrived in our city, Sir."

The look of surprise was replaced with an understanding, nodding his head, he stood up from the chair, "I will take care of the rest, Guard Noyo." The guard bowed, then he left the room.

Manager Fier smiled at Tang Shaoyang, gesturing to them to take a seat on the comfortable couch while he took a seat on the opposite.

"My name is Fier, General Manager of Tarkon Union," He introduced himself with a polite smile, "If you are here, does that mean you want to enlist as the mercenary?"

"Yes," Tang Shaoyang replied, short, nodding his head.

"Before we start with that, can I see the recommendation letter from the temple? Is not that I doubt your identity as a player, but it's rare for three players to defeat the boss. Also, it's the nature of my job to ensure you are safe to enlist."
