Chapter 206: Dragon House Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 206: Dragon House Chamber of Commerce
Avilato, weekend.
Julius came to the street alone. He needed to find a job to maintain his income. With his current savings, he could not support the tuition for the next semester.
After all, he was a student of Briffin College, but he couldn't find a high-paying job. Besides killing monsters in exchange for materials, other jobs paid very little.
The Empire has recently returned to peace, and many of the displaced people have mostly stayed in Avilato, where part-time jobs are harder to find.
Ulysses went to a chamber of commerce called the Dragon Seeker's House.
Receptionist: "...You are too young, only thirteen years old."
"What position are you applying for?"
The receptionist and Julius were sitting in the living room talking.
Yurix: "I am a junior level 2, my magic skills are definitely not bad, and I am very good at swordsmanship. I want to apply for the position of Dragon Seeker."
Receptionist: "Well... your conditions have already met our recruitment threshold. You should know that the missions of our Dragon Seeking Chamber of Commerce are not fixed. Our main business is hunting and taming flying monsters, looking for hatching dragon eggs, etc... By the way, can you use the magic cloak?"
"A magic cloak... that can fly," Ulysses said unconfidently, as he had only recently started studying this subject. "Why? I'm a student at the Briffin School of Magic, and I plan to work here for a long time!"
The receptionist said, "The last condition is that we can give you a ten-day trial period. Go to the Oran Highlands to tame a young griffin and bring it to Averato. Based on the market price, we can give you 70% of the price. Do you dare to try?"
Ulysses: "No problem, but their location..."
The receptionist said: "You can find it yourself. This is a test of your ability by our Chamber of Commerce."
"Don't even think about buying a baby griffin in Avilato. All the flying monsters in the city were captured by the dragon hunters of our Dragon Seekers Guild!"
The waiter spoke seriously with a hint of smile on his face.
Julius could hear the humor in the waiter's remark, but he didn't know that the waiter felt that the young man in front of him would definitely have a bright future. It was very rare in the entire empire to reach the junior second level at the age of thirteen.
After a moment, the receptionist took out a red wooden sign, stamped a transaction document, and signed it.
"The city guards recognize the business seal of the Xunlong House. I'll wait for your news. Don't forget to complete the task within ten days."
After completing all the formalities, Julius went to the street, bought some ropes, three pieces of beef jerky, and spent a hundred silver coins to buy a magic cloak.
Leave the city at noon and walk quickly to Oran Heights.
Julius knew a piece of inside information: the more rugged the mountains were, the greater the number of griffins there were; that was the mountains southwest of Avilato.
There are always several young griffons in a litter, and a group has more than three griffons accompanying them at all times. This task is quite difficult until it is completed.
At dusk, Julius went alone to a steep valley. The geology of the valley was brown stone with few bushes.
In order to get a job at the Dragon House Chamber of Commerce ahead of time, Julius was determined to finish it as quickly as possible, preferably this weekend, because he had to save up enough tuition and living expenses for the next semester before the semester started next month.
He also had to rely on the academy's channels and various magical knowledge to step into the Dragon Riders. With this job, he might soon be able to come into contact with dragon-shaped monsters.
The sky is blue, and the mountain wind caresses the sparse woods and grass.
Julius looked up and saw a group of griffins circling in the sky, hunting. They had a very long vision and could see all kinds of prey and dangers clearly.
While patiently waiting for the sunset, the griffins circling in the sky returned to their nests. Julius chose a griffin and followed it for ten kilometers...
I hope there are baby griffins in its cave.
Julius' magic cloak was not stable to use, and the speed and height had to be carefully controlled at all times, just like the ups and downs of a turtle diving underwater.
The night on the top of the mountain was completely dark. The crescent moon in the sky emitted a faint glow, and the location of the griffin cave could be vaguely seen.
Julius went up to the vicinity of the cave and found some rubble near the entrance. These rubbles were very special. They were there to prevent the young griffins from leaving the cave entrance and to prevent them from falling off the mountain and being blocked by adult griffins.
Yuriks was secretly delighted and immediately came up with a plan for the next step...
Half an hour later, Ulysses quietly sneaked into the cave. There were three young griffins and five adult griffins in the cave, all of which were at the level of primary monsters.
They are all gnawing on a demonized wild boar...
Ulysses took advantage of their unpreparedness and immediately released lightning magic, continuously releasing lightning and paralyzing five adult griffins.
Taking this opportunity, he took out the rope from his waist and tied up a young griffin. The baby was only one meter long and weighed thirty kilograms, and it was very uncooperative.
Half a minute later, the young griffin was tied to his shoulders, back to back.
Run out of the cave immediately.
He released lightning magic once again, blasting down the pile of stones that had been prepared above the cave. Stones weighing more than 400 kilograms fell down like snowflakes from the roof, blocking half of the cave.
When Yurix released his magic cloak, not only did it consume more mana, but it also didn't fly far and was very slow, so it could only last until it got down the mountain...
This place was more than 20 kilometers away from Avilato. The little griffin on its body was howling, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the valley.
If other griffins are attracted, all our efforts will be wasted!
"This guy... I only made 15 silver coins if I took him back. It's not even worth using my only primary teleportation scroll..."
"Damn it! Shut up!"
Julius was running around in the valley, and his source of magic power was about to run out. If he encountered other monsters, he would just put this little guy down and run away!
In the late night, Yurix arrived at a village.
After asking the villagers, I realized that I had gone in the wrong direction! Aiweilato was northeast of me...
After resting for a night at the village chief's house, Julius returned to Avilato after dawn.
Bring the baby griffin to the Dragon Seeker's Home.
Receptionist: “It’s quite efficient…”
Julius: "Don't question my ability. I just want a long-term job."
After signing the employment contract, Yurix officially became a member of the Dragon House Chamber of Commerce.
"As a newcomer and a student, your mission can only be scheduled on weekends, but that also means that your mission range can only be within a hundred kilometers of Avilato."
"In July and August, you can accept missions far away in the western part of the empire. There are very few opportunities for teamwork in the Dragon Seekers' House because they always have problems with allocation..."
Ulysses nodded and said, "How many employees does the Dragon Seeker House have?"
"Including you, there are only sixteen of us."
"This is a high-risk job. If you don't have the ability to deal with a wild White Dragon, don't try to be brave. An adult White Dragon is as powerful as a third-level intermediate magician."
Afterwards, the receptionist took Julius to familiarize himself with the various businesses of the Chamber of Commerce.
