Chapter 322: Signing the Contract!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mike signed the contract with the three of them. From then on, their contractual relationship was under the supervision of the Mercenary Union. If either party violated the terms of the contract, the Mercenary Union would come forward to resolve it.

After signing the contract, Mike could not help but sigh. After all, it was a large guild. They had prestige.

The four of them waited in the hall for a few more hours, but there was still no one who met the requirements to apply for the job. Mike felt that it was not a good idea to wait, so he decided to find a place to stay with Bello as a temporary residence.

Bello was a local, so he was very familiar with the place. Under his leadership, Mike found a very cost-effective inn without much effort.

Mike was more and more satisfied with Bello.

Mike and Bello set up a few arrays in the courtyard, then Mike asked Bello to fetch his daughter while he returned to the mercenary hall. He told Phillip and Osme about the location of the courtyard and the method to open the array.

After that, no one came to apply for the job for three days. Mike stayed in the hall the whole time and felt a little tired.

Suddenly, two people walked over and said to Mike, “Excuse me, are you from the Dragon Castle?”

Mike raised his head and was about to answer the question when he saw the face of the man opposite him. He was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Mike walked to the man, gave the man a hard punch on the shoulder, and said to him, “Nota!! You bastard, I missed you! It’s been so long! How are you doing?”

When Nota saw Mike, she was also very excited. She held Mike’s hand and started chatting with him excitedly. It was not until the man who was left to the side coughed lightly that Mike noticed this person.

Mike carefully observed this person. He had shifty eyes and his movements were very subtle. If he stood there quietly, no one would think that he was a living person.

Mike could not help but feel a little scared. This person’s presence was really too low. It was as if he was completely integrated with the surrounding environment. If Mike did not deliberately sense this person, he would not be able to feel this person’s existence at all.

Nota pointed at Mike and said, “Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Mike.”

Nota pointed at that person and said, “This is Hayden, and he is also my brother.”

Mike shook hands with Hayden and Mike said, “Since you are Nota’s brother, then you are my brother. I wonder what kind of salary condition you are looking for, Brother Hayden?”

Hayden smiled and said, “We came here precisely because we heard about the recruitment offer. Your reputation is indeed well-deserved. In that case, I think I should first demonstrate my strength.”

Hayden first showed off his spiritual power. The strength of a 2-star heaven-tier was already considered good for other people, but for Mike, this was only the lowest strength of the Dragon Castle.

Mike nodded and asked, “I wonder what kind of salary you’re looking for?”

Hayden smiled and said, “There’s no need to say more about the annual monthly payment. Naturally, I trust you would treat me fairly. It’s just that for this extra thing, I need a Nebula Star Essence.”

Mike’s expression changed. He knew this kind of ore too well. This kind of ore was also used to make a heaven-grade armor set. It was an extraterrestrial meteorite. The difficulty of collecting it would not be lower than Philip’s Sanyang Xian Star Flower.

Mike nodded and said, “Okay, then let’s sign the contract.”

After Hayden and Nota signed the contract, Hayden went to the residence of the Dragon Castle first. Nota accompanied Mike and stayed in the mercenary hall.

Nota looked at Mike and asked, “You didn’t build the Dragon Castle just to stay in the Northern Region to fight, right?”

Mike nodded and said, “Yeah, you came to the Northern Region to become the legendary divine craftsman, right?”

Mike and Nota looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes.

Mike said, “If I wanted to obtain benefits in the Northern Region, I wouldn’t have chosen my companions so rashly. Why would I want to suffer the same kind of loss a second time? I’m not too sure about the current situation of the Otherworld, but I know that what the Otherworld lacks the most is the high-end combat strength that can rival the official members of the Dark Magi. If we could have a few thousand heaven-tier experts, then the Dark Magi wouldn’t have developed so quickly.”

Nota nodded and said, “It’s been hard on you. At the same time, you have to support so many heaven-tier experts. You can imagine how much money you need.”

Mike’s eyes lit up. He asked, “Speaking of expenses, how is Little Jerry now?”

Nota’s eyes were suddenly filled with a sense of loss. She said, “He… he changed all of his assets into materials for the formation. He restored the lost battle formation of the Northern Kingdom, the Sunset Formation. In one battle, he killed tens of thousands of enemies. However, he lost both his legs, all of his family members and subordinates. He is left with only me and his loyal Butler Dragon.”

Mike’s heart clenched. He asked, “Where is he now?”

Nota said, “He’s in this city. He runs a small grocery store with the dragon. I came out to join the team because I wanted to earn some capital for him. I wanted to cheer him up.”

Mike’s eyes were moist. He said, “Take me to see that kid.”

The two of them came to the front of Little Jerry’s shop. Nota said to Mike, “Don’t say anything too provocative to him.”

Mike nodded, pushed the door open, and walked in.

“What do you want?”

Mike did not say anything. He just stood in front of the door and looked at the skinny guy with the pants. “Fatty, you’ve lost weight.”

Little Jerry suddenly raised his head and looked at Mike. His eyes instantly became wet.

Mike walked up and hugged Little Jerry tightly.

Mike sat down beside Little Jerry’s wheelchair and said, “Fatty, you look like you’re doing good.”

Little Jerry rubbed his head and smiled, “I think I am too.”

Mike said, “What are you going to do next?”

Little Jerry said, “Of course, I’m going to make enough money, gather people, and bring the dragon back to the Otherworld. Hmph, I don’t dare to say anything else. Give me a copper coin, and I’ll turn it into a mountain of gold. After I have a mountain of gold, it’ll be easy for me to get any kind of expert.”

“Alright,” Mike said. “This time, you and my brother should cooperate. I’ve established a Castle, but I don’t know how to run it. When you come, you and I will be the Castle Lord together. All the funds in the Castle will be at your disposal.”

Little Jerry looked at Mike with unprecedented excitement in his eyes. He took out a Hundred-letter Teleportation Door and called the dragon. He wrote:

“Dragon, come back. There’s no need to stock up. We are about to change jobs.”

Mike looked at Little Jerry with a gratified smile.
