The waiter glanced outside the shop, then whispered, "Of course, there’s a way. If junior rcenaries want to enter the guild, they can do so using a Special Permit Token issued by the guild. This shop and the rcenary Guild have always been on good terms, and we happen to have a few tokens left. You can’t find them in other places. If you want to go in, we could reluctantly part with a few."
Xuan Yue looked at Yue Ji and asked, "Sister Yue Ji, you’ve been here before, have you ever heard that you need a token to enter the rcenary Guild?" She always felt that the waiter’s smile was ominous and untrustworthy.
Yue Ji frowned, "Although I’ve been here before, I was only delivering missions and never had a chance to enter the rcenary Guild. However, I’ve indeed heard that only first-class rcenaries can enter the guild. This token thing should be true. Let’s just buy a few. After all, he can’t run away with his shop. If he dares to deceive us, we will demolish his shop when we return. How much are the tokens?"
The waiter hastily smiled apologetically, "The token is absolutely genuine. Because of their limited quantity, the price is a bit high. It is fifty gold coins each. How many do you want to buy?"
Yue Ji frowned, "That’s so expensive, you might as well rob people. Aren’t they just so scrap iron tokens? An ordinary rcenary in Moon Scar rcenary Group only earns about ten gold coins a month. Fifty gold coins can provide a comfortable life for an ordinary family for a year."
The waiter rubbed his hands, "It’s the boss who set this price, I’m just an employee, I have no say in the matter! Besides, it’s such an honor for a rcenary to enter the rcenary Guild. Why care about this bit of money? How about this, if you buy the tokens, I can give you a 10% discount on other purchases, what do you think?"
Ah Dai said, "Alright, let’s just buy two tokens. We don’t need anything else. Xuan Re, pay him." Xuan Yue took out a diamond banknote from her bosom and threw it to the waiter. The waiter quickly caught it happily, ran behind the counter, took out two iron tokens and handed them to Ah Dai with respect. Ah Dai looked at the token; it was square in shape, with the word ’Special Permit’ engraved on it, and the back had the rcenary logo. The workmanship wasn’t exquisite, but not too crude either, quite ordinary. No matter how Ah Dai looked, he couldn’t understand how it was worth fifty gold coins.
Yue Ji walked over to Ah Dai, looked at the Special Permit Token in his hand, took out her rcenary card from her bosom, flicked it in front of the waiter and said, "See this, I am a Special Class rcenary. If you have deceived us, your shop can no longer operate in Red Hurricane City. Ah Dai, let’s go." After finishing her words, she turned and walked towards the exit. Ah Dai handed the tokens to Olivia and Kino and all of them left the shop together.
Watching their receding figures, the waiter snorted and mumbled to himself, "What’s so great about the Special Class rcenary. Although the token isn’t worth much, it’s real, they can’t bla . A diamond banknote, today’s earnings are good, the boss should give a raise..."
Following the waiter’s direction, Ah Dai and his friends quickly headed east. An hour or so later, they finally saw their destination. The waiter was right, they could clearly see the rcenary Guild’s building from a far distance. It was the tallest building Ah Dai had ever seen. The Dark City’s night clubs were four storeys high, but this towering building was more than double in height. There was only one large gate about four ters high in the massive bell-shaped structure. In the middle of the building, about twenty ters high, there was an engraved rcenary Guild’s logo, and beneath it, the words ’rcenary Guild’ were written in both the Federation’s language and Priest language. The gilded letters stand out under the sunlight. It was close to noon; the gate of the rcenary Guild was wide open, with many rcenaries going in and out.
Olivia exclaid, "What a grand scale! This rcenary Guild seems larger than the Moon Scar rcenary Group’s Headquarters. I’ve never seen such a tall building before, it’s much larger than our Mage Guild’s Headquarters. I’ve always thought that mages were a rich profession. It appears the rcenary Guild is the real tycoon!" Yue Ji replied, "Although mages enjoy a high status, their numbers are very few. But it’s different with rcenaries. There are at least hundreds of thousands of rcenaries on this continent. Even if each one only contributes one gold coin to the rcenary Guild, that’s still hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This is the headquarters and the face of the rcenary world, so naturally, it needs to be built bigger. Let’s go in and take a look, and find out whether the waiter was lying to us. Two broken iron tokens actually cost a hundred gold coins. The thought of it just makes depressed."
While talking, the five of them had already arrived at the entrance of the rcenary Guild. There were four rcenaries guarding the entrance; they all had a Red Hurricane emblem on their chests. Seeing the four mbers of the Red Hurricane rcenary Group, Yue Ji disdainfully said, "The Red Hurricane rcenary Group is really sothing! They even guard the door of the rcenary Guild." Her voice was loud, attracting the attention of passing rcenaries.
Xuan Yue whispered, "Big sister, I know you dislike the Red Hurricane rcenary Group, but after all, this is their territory. We should try to keep a low profile."
