Poko Rodema led Zhang Hao into the guild, and a young girl with short red hair and red eyes greeted them. Zhang Hao remembered that it was the girl who thought he was going to be a thief. He felt a strange awkwardness in his heart. The girl was also stunned when she saw Zhang Hao, but she put on a professional smile and nodded at Boko Rodema. She said crisply,"Hello, Chief. Do you have any instructions?"
" Her voice is quite nice, not much worse than Christine's.'Zhang Hao subconsciously thought. Poko Rodema patted Zhang Hao's shoulder and said,""Sir, right, I still don't know your name.”
"Alex." Zhang Hao decided to continue using this name.
"Alicia, Sir Alex will be your colleague from now on. He's a sommelier like you. Help him register on the staff list. His monthly salary will be calculated according to your standard.”Then, he turned to Zhang Hao and asked,"Sir Alex, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"”
"Thank you, Chief." Zhang Hao felt that since he was already a staff member of this union, he naturally had to address the other party by his position. Poko Lodema's eyes flashed with admiration as he said to the red-haired girl,""Alicia, bring Sir Alex to familiarize himself with the guild first, then explain to him the things to take note of at work.”Then, he took out the money bag from his pocket and said to Zhang Hao with a smile," This is the reward for an A-rank mission. It's a good thing that you picked it up. It's the first time I've seen someone like you who has no greed for the Eye of Carrich. I'm going to send this bounty to the residence of the Dark Shadow. I'll take my leave first. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for me.”With that, he quickly left the guild.
"Sir, please come with me. I'll take you to the changing room first.”The girl spread her hands and politely made a gesture of 'please.'
"We'll be colleagues from now on. Call me by my name, Alex. As a condition, can I call you Alicia?”Zhang Hao walked up to the girl. Alicia was slightly shorter than Zhang Hao. She was petite, but she did not look weak. Instead, she gave off a feeling of vitality. Was it because of her red eyes? Zhang Hao thought for a moment and looked at the girl's short hair. Then, he praised,"Your hair is so beautiful. Each strand has a dazzling red luster.”
"Really? I think so too." Alicia smiled happily, and two shallow dimples appeared on her round face. As she spoke, her small hand even pulled the short hair by her ear and continued,"You're the first person to praise my beautiful hair. In the past, people only said that I was good-looking.”
"Is it not good for others to praise you for your beauty?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.”
"If someone complimented my hair, it would make me happier.”The girl smiled and took Zhang Hao's hand and walked to the back door." I'll take you to the changing room first. Sister Fina is on leave today, so I'll take care of the mercenaries who have completed the mission on her behalf. So, there's one person missing at the wine cabinet. You're just in time. Change your clothes and go help."”
Zhang Hao changed into a blue-rimmed sommelier uniform. As soon as he came out of the changing room, he was pulled by Alicia to the side hall. What a soft little hand. Zhang Hao let her hold him. The two of them had just entered the door of the side hall when they heard a furious curse."If you hadn't caused such a huge commotion in the swamp and attracted the white crocodile, would Siska have been injured?”
The two of them looked in the direction of the voice. A tall and strong man in chain armor, with yellow hair and yellow eyes, was slamming the table at a black-robed mage. Behind him was a huge sword that was 1.5 meters long, 30 centimeters wide, and nearly five centimeters thick. It was eye-catching. Alicia immediately hid behind Zhang Hao and looked ahead. Zhang Hao laughed in his heart and turned around to ask,"Alicia, the Union's rules state what to do in such a situation.”
"Ignore them." Alicia's voice was trembling slightly. Her small hand tightly tugged at Zhang Hao's back." Go to the wine cabinet first."”
The black-robed mage was not to be outdone. Although his voice was not as loud as the burly man's, the anger in his voice was not much inferior."I don't know who it was, but as a greatsword warrior, he couldn't kill a dying white crocodile with a single strike. Instead, he let it injure the priest behind him.”
"You... You're not a good person. What did you say?" The burly man was covered in a lake of Qi, and his hand that was pointing at the black-robed mage kept shaking up and down.
"I'm telling the truth. You're not capable enough to protect the woman you love, yet you're venting your anger on others. Is this the quality of a swordsman?”The black-robed Wizard coldly stabbed at the burly man.
The furious burly man raised the round table that was about two meters in diameter in front of him with both hands, wanting to smash it at the black-robed Wizard, but he stopped an inch above the Wizard's head. The black-robed Wizard stared at the burly man coldly, unmoved. "Damn it!" the burly man shouted angrily. He flipped his hands to the side, and the table rolled rapidly and smashed into the stone wall in front of Zhang Hao and Christine with a whoosh. The huge impact instantly crushed the round table into countless sharp fragments, scattering in all directions.
Zhang Hao suddenly wrapped his arms around Alicia's waist and pulled her into his arms. He turned around quickly and placed all his internal energy on his back. Even so, the two thick and hard table legs still hurt Zhang Hao's back. If it was an ordinary person, he would have suffered a superficial injury.
After the broken wood flew away, Alicia looked up from Zhang Hao's arms and asked anxiously,"Are you alright?" She broke free from Zhang Hao's arms and went behind him. Her small hand kept stroking Zhang Hao's back and asked with concern,"Are you hurt? Does your back hurt?”
Zhang Hao smiled, indicating that he was fine. He picked up one of the table legs. He didn't know what kind of wood it was made of. It didn't look heavy, but it was unexpectedly heavy in his hand. Zhang Hao estimated that it weighed about 30 pounds. Zhang Hao was so shocked that he smacked his tongue.
Zhang Hao raised his head and looked at Alicia, who was full of gratitude. He smiled and asked,"How should we deal with this? Is there any explanation in the Union's rules?”
"You actually still care about these things. Is your back really not injured?”Alicia was still a little worried.
"I'm really fine!" Zhang Hao twisted his upper body." Look, nothing happened.”
"Did you see that, Great Swordsman? Even a sommelier is better at protecting women than you. Where did your swordsmanship go?”After saying that, he walked to Zhang Hao and bowed politely. He said respectfully,"Your behavior has touched me!" He took out a gold coin from his robe and handed it to Alicia.""This is the compensation for breaking the guild items. As for the rest, buy some medicine for your friend.”
Then, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Hao and left. Then came the burly man carrying a huge sword. He walked up with a face full of shame, but he did not dare to look Zhang Hao in the eye. He lowered his head and bowed to the swordsman before leaving in a hurry.
Although it wasn't lunchtime yet, there were still a dozen mercenaries drinking and chatting in the side hall. After this incident, they definitely couldn't stay any longer, and everyone began to leave. Before everyone left, they all saluted Zhang Hao respectfully, which made Zhang Hao feel baffled.
Seeing Zhang Hao's puzzled face, Alicia smiled sweetly and tiptoed to kiss Zhang Hao's face. She said softly,"Just now, you were the hero."
