6.57 - Dris Town Quest Guild
——(Subhuman race?)
For a moment, Jiang Ran was almost frightened, but he immediately realized that Heloise was only a spiritual tiger man, so how could he be considered a sub-human race?
However, before Jiang Ran could argue, Heloise behind him couldn't help but rush forward.
"You arrogant wretch! Why are you speaking ill of the subhuman race? The apostles of the Evil Tiger King God can tear you to pieces at any moment!"
Before the fat uncle could react, Heloise's hidden blade was already against his neck.
Jiang Ran just watched from behind and did not stop it, because he deliberately let Heloise pass.
Jiang Ran knew that Heloise had no intention of killing, but her sharp movements and handsome posture were enough to make the fat uncle wet his pants.
"Hey, why aren't you talking? The apostle of the Evil Tiger King is asking you a question." Heloise pushed her hidden blade deeper.
Under the stimulation of this cold and sharp object, the fat uncle completely lost the ability to communicate. He did not care about the risk of being scratched by the sword blade. He squatted on the spot, holding his head and shaking violently, completely losing his previous arrogance.
Jiang Ran looked at this scene and felt a little strange.
Logically, the receptionist at the Task Union should have seen a lot of things, so how could he be so quickly overwhelmed? Could he be a newcomer? But judging by his appearance and the tone of his initial speech, he must be a veteran employee.
Jiang Ran looked around again.
In the hall of the Quest Guild, there were a few scattered reward hunters, but they were just watching from afar and didn't seem to intend to help.
(Level 9 Swordsman…Level 11 Blade Master…Level 7 Warlock…these levels aren’t very high.)
Combining the situation of the entire town of Dris, Jiang Ran began to understand a little.
This town is quite backward. In terms of comprehensive strength, it is probably not even half as strong as Sunny Town.
This task union is probably deserted all year round, so the front desk has such a poor performance.
Jiang Ran turned around and glanced at the commission notice board, where there were even commissions from seven years ago that had not been completed.
"Heloise, let him go. This guy is not worth bothering with."
Jiang Ran called Heloise back, and after seeing how scared the other party was, Heloise no longer had the idea of teaching him a lesson.
After all, most places in the Human Alliance are exclusive to sub-humans. The only difference is whether it is open exclusion or covert exclusion.
However, what Heloise did not expect was that after she left the front desk, Fike actually kicked the table over with a flying kick, which not only made a loud noise, but also made the middle-aged man who was crushed by the table scream.
"Fi, Feike...what are you doing?"
Heloise was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that Fike would do such a brutal thing.
But Fike waved at her, indicating that she should sit on the bench with him.
"I'm calling out the person in charge here."
Fei Ke looked at the stairs not far away calmly, waiting to see what kind of person would come down from the second floor.
·
Jiang Ran's behavior just now was intentional. He wanted to create an image of himself as a violent person who was not easy to mess with, and this was the image of "Fei Ke".
"Feike"'s philosophy is that people's joys and sorrows are different, so he has to be a little selfish and domineering, acting only for the interests of himself and his own people, and he doesn't bother to care about other people's affairs.
Sure enough, within two minutes, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.
Jiang Ran stared at the stairs and immediately confirmed the identity of the person who came.
━━━━━━━━━━
Pamei, female, 59 years old, branch director of the Task Force Union in Dris Town
Production Occupation: Farmer - Lv7
Manufacturing Occupation: Carpenter - Lv9
Combat Class: Sniper Archer - Lv50
━━━━━━━━━━
The person walking down the stairs slowly was a woman who looked between a middle-aged woman and an old grandmother.
She was wearing a set of yellowed leather armor and had a short knife on each side of her waist, looking quite imposing.
If he only looked at her age in the basic information, Jiang Ran would call her grandma, but if he looked at her in person, Jiang Ran thought it would be more appropriate to call her Ms.
The reason is simple: Ms. Palmer looks only about 40 years old.
·
"Young man, are you causing trouble here?"
Branch Chief Pame stopped halfway up the stairs, looking down at Jiang Ran from above.
Jiang Ran looked back without fear and nodded calmly.
"Ma'am, please forgive me for having to make some noise, because your guard dog can't speak human language."
Hearing Jiang Ran say this, Branch Chief Pame immediately looked towards the front desk, then looked back again. He probably had guessed the whole story.
However, to Jiang Ran's surprise, the branch chief was not angry, but thanked him instead.
"Thank you for your mercy. If it's convenient for you, please come up to my office and sit for a while. The girl you're with can also come with you."
"Thank you very much, ma'am."
Jiang Ran gave Heloise a look, and then the two of them went upstairs together in front of the stunned gazes of the other reward hunters.
·
Jiang Ran sighed in his heart, people who can become branch chiefs are different, at least they have good vision.
During the conversation just now, Jiang Ran was always paying attention to the inner thoughts of Branch Chief Pame.
The reason why this lady was so nice was because she saw that Jiang Ran and Heloise were quite capable.
The sudden arrival of two people who might be high-level second-level people in a task guild with such a scarce talent pool is undoubtedly like two wolves entering a chicken coop.
Branch Chief Pame is only level 50 and is already old. If he rashly escalates the conflict, it would be a truly unwise move.
·
Three people sat down in the old office.
The girl was a little at a loss, but the boy was calm and composed, which made Branch Chief Pame more certain about who he should communicate with.
"Nice to meet you. I'm the branch leader of the Mission Union here, Pam. May I know your names?"
"Nice to meet you, Chief of the Pame Branch. I'm the reward hunter Fike, and the one with me is Heloise of the Tiger Tribe."
Hearing the young man's introduction, Branch Chief Pame was a little confused, because this girl did not have the appearance characteristics of a tiger person, except for that conspicuous white hair...
——(Ah, so that's how it is.)
Branch Manager Pame immediately understood. She knew that the front desk must have mistaken the girl for a subhuman and said something unpleasant, which caused the dispute.
"I'm also very happy to meet you, and I apologize to both of you for the rude offense just now caused by the front desk staff."
It didn't matter whether the girl was a subhuman or not. Branch Chief Pame knew that what he should do was to apologize.
When the girl saw the branch chief apologize, she immediately said politely that it was okay, while the boy looked at the branch chief with a slight smile without expressing any opinion.
"So, now that you two have come to the Task Union, are you going to issue a commission or accept one?" asked the head of the Pame branch.
"Neither. I'm here to participate in this."
The boy handed over a letter and placed it on the table. Branch Chief Pame was stunned when he saw the wax seal on the envelope, because it was the wax seal of the Sunny Town Mission Union.
This means that the content of this letter was written by Oleg, the first love of the Pam branch chief.

6.58 - Pamei Branch Head (Part )
"Are you from...Sunnytown?"
Branch Minister Pame's hands trembled slightly as she picked up the letter, but she quickly calmed down because she couldn't show her weakness in front of these two juniors.
"I'm from Sunnytown, Heloise isn't..."
The boy was answering something, but Branch Chief Pame no longer cared. She only wanted to see whether the envelope contained Oleg's familiar handwriting.
And after she opened the envelope, when the wild and sloppy handwriting appeared before her, Branch Minister Pame couldn't help but feel secretly happy as if she had seen Oleg himself.
Unfolding the letter, Branch Minister Pam read it word by word as if she was looking for treasure, hoping to see what Oleg wrote to her, but she was soon disappointed, because it was a letter of recommendation, the content was very formal, and not a single word was written to her.
——(Ah…that’s right.)
—(After all… I’ve only been here for two months, so it’s normal that Oleg doesn’t know.)
Branch Chief Pame sighed quietly in his heart, then looked back at the boy named Fike and the girl named Heloise.
"Letter of recommendation... I see. It's about the 'Green Ghost Lair', huh? I didn't expect you to show up so quickly."
Branch Chief Pame returned the letter of recommendation to Fike, and then told him that the "instructor" responsible for forming the "Maze Subjugation Team" had not yet arrived in Dris Town, but she could help arrange matters related to food and accommodation.
"That's not a big deal, but I didn't expect us to be the first to arrive... By the way, didn't the town of Driss elect its own representative?"
Fike's question touched a sore spot for Branch Chief Pame, who had also been troubled by this matter recently.
The operation of the Dris Town Task Force Union was so bad that when Minister Pame took over two months ago, he had no idea how to clean up the mess.
Even to this day, she has not been able to find a suitable person to replace the racist uncle at the front desk.
“Yes, we are still looking for the right person.”
Branch Chief Pame could only dodge this question with a very official answer, but unexpectedly, this Fei Ke was extremely smart and immediately seized this "opportunity".
"In that case, would you like to consider this Heloise who's traveling with me? She's quite powerful, you know?"
As soon as Fike said this, Branch Chief Pame and the girl beside him, Heloise, cried out "Eh——?" at the same time.
But Fike ignored their reactions and just stared at Minister Pame and continued to explain his proposal.
"As far as I know, the representatives from various places don't necessarily have to be locals, right, Chief Pamei?"
Branch Chief Pame nodded stiffly. She had a vague feeling that Feike had seen through her thoughts.
Indeed, if this girl named Heloise is willing to become the representative of the town of Driss, it would be a great thing for Minister Pame.
Even though he had never seen Heloise in battle, the experienced Pame branch chief could tell her considerable strength just by looking at her gestures when she walked.
——(But… why would this young man take the initiative to give such a good opportunity to our Dris Town?)
There is no free lunch in the world. Branch Chief Pame guessed that the boy must have something to "deal" with him.
·
"Indeed, then, Lord Heloise, are you willing? If so, I will go and persuade the mayor."
Branch Minister Pame is a person who dares to think and act. Since Fike has extended an olive branch to her, she will take it first.
If the young lion asks for unreasonable conditions later, the worst that can happen is that they can just replace the candidate. After all, their town of Dris is the gathering place of the maze expedition team, and there is no travel or time cost at all.
"Your Excellency? Hehe, the apostle of the Evil Tiger King God is satisfied with this title!"
After being treated with courtesy, Heloise immediately felt in a good mood. As for participating in the maze expedition team as a representative of Dris Town, since Feke was going to participate anyway, it would be fine for her to join.
Just like that, in the office of the head of the Pame branch, the representative for the town of Dris was decided in just a few words.
Later, when the Quest Guild posted a notice announcing the candidates, all the reward hunters in Dris Town became jealous. But that’s another story.
·
"So, is there anything else I can do for you?"
After the representative of Dris Town was finalized, Branch Chief Pam was very tactful and took the initiative to ask about Fike. She knew that this bargain could not be taken for free.
"There's nothing major going on...but there's a small matter I'd like to trouble you, Branch Chief, to help investigate."
Just as Branch Chief Pame expected, Feke's conditions came.
"Please tell me how I can help. I will do my best."
Fike asked Branch Chief Pame for paper and pen, and then drew a long, thin snake.
He told Minister Pame that this was something called a "parasitic blood snake" that could invade the human body in the form of eggs, then hatch and infect the human body. When the infection was complete, it would cause the person to explode and die.
