Chapter 204: The Fish That's Hooked
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After pleting the process and officially posting the mission, Benjamin left the Mercenary Association.
The idea of putting up a "search for himself" was simple: when the unfamiliar youth appeared, he claimed to be a mercenary, and the "dame" seemed to be quite close to him as well. Perhaps this would be a good way to lure them out.
The Mercenary Association had a uniquely efficient way of dissipating information, a mission posted in one place was instantly receivable in another. Hence, even if the unfamiliar youth and the "dame" was in Regina, they too would be able to receive and accept this mission.
Benjamin didn’t expect them to jump right into his trap, but 200 gold coins isn’t any small sum either. Even if they’re not interested in the job, they’d at least "pop their heads out" for a peep by going to the Mercenary Association’s branch to enquire.
That act of "popping their heads out" is all Benjamin needs to catch them.
He wasn’t afraid of giving himself away either, since the Mercenary Association keeps the its patrons’ identities classified, therefore nobody would know that the one who posted the "search for Benjamin" was actually Benjamin himself.

As he left, he could see the disguised mages in their various identities as they hid in the crowd and pretended not to know each other. Some rode carriages, while the others walked in small groups.
Benjamin was also quite surprised to find the streets filled with people. With a crowd this size, it was incredibly easy for the mages to pass by unnoticed.
"So many people leaving the city... and all headed in the same direction," in sight of this, the System suddenly appeared.
"While I don’t know much, the Mage Guild seems to be holding an event in the capital, and not just a lame excuse to invite me over," Benjamin grimaced,"plus, look at all of this! The event seems to be much bigger than we thought."
While it wasn’t as crowded as the time the citizens were escaping from Havenwright’s "Plague
