"What?"

What Ajax didn't want to happen had happened, making him cry at the quest tab.

"Only B+ danger rating,"

However, seeing the danger rating on the holographic screen, he felt some hope.

'Since it has only 'B+' danger rating, I can probably complete,' Ajax's earlier thoughts turned 180-degrees.

The main reason he wanted to complete the mission was to get the reward.

'Dual Elemental Paradise, I want it,' 

A dual elemental paradise was similar to a normal elemental paradise but had two elements: it could allow two types of elemental spirits or spirit beasts to cultivate in it.

So, seeing the reward, he wanted to have it and solve the current problem of the Volcanis and other elemental spirits.

"Senior brother Paulin, can we pick two missions at the same time?" Ajax asked Paulin, who took out the mission one beast skin from the mission board.

"Why? Do you want to pick another one?" Paulin stopped and asked Ajax with a curious tone.

"Hmm," Ajax nodded his head in reply.

"A squad can't pick two mission at the same time," Paulin informed Ajax about the rule.

As soon as he heard that Ajax became dejected.

'Should I convince Brother Paulin to change the mission?' 

Although he was dejected, he didn't plan on leaving the 10th mission from the mission board.

However, his disappointment turned into happiness when he heard Paulin's next words.

"Although a squad can't pick more than one mission at a time, there is a special case of picking two missions for top 3 mercenary squads," Paulin explained the special case for top squads in the mercenary guild.

"Really? That's great," Ajax excitedly shouted.

"Yes. Go and pick a pick. We will try to complete both the missions," Paulin nodded his head and asked Ajax to pick a mission of his choice.

After saying that, Paulin went to register the mission, he picked.

Without wasting any time, Ajax also picked the 10th mission, which was similarly written on the beast's skin, and rushed after Paulin to register it under the Hazegroove Squad.

"Hello," Seeing the incoming Paulin and Ajax towards her, Sarah politely greeted.

"Hello sis Sarah," Paulin and Ajax greeted back politely at the beautiful receptionist.

"Not doing Bountiful missions?" seeing the beast skins in their hands, Sarah asked them.

"Okay then, I will bring two bracelets for you," since she saw only the two of them, Sarah said she would bring only two data collector bracelets.

"Thanks, sister Sarah. Also, help us register another mission under our Squad," he thanked Sarah and took the beast skin from Ajax's hand and gave it Sarah without checking the mission details.

"Huh?" Sarah was surprised for a moment and nodded her head before going into the room behind her to register the two missions under Hazegroove Squad.

'Senior Brother Paulin, why there is no crowd here, at the counter?' Ajax raised doubt about the crowd.

"Sarah will only register the mission of top 3 mercenary guilds. As for normal mercenaries, they have other receptionists," Paulin explained slowly.

Soon, Sarah came back with two black bracelets in her hand.

"Here, it will collect all the data about your contribution," while giving those bracelets to them, she explained all the details about them.

"Thanks, sister Sarah. We will be on our way," Ajax and Paulin thanked her before leaving from there.

Sarah nodded her head with a small smile on her face in reply.

....

"Our squad need a commander realm cultivator."

"I am an elite soldier realm rogue cultivator. Happy to join any squad".

"Selling the high-grade healing pills cheaply."

…

…

…

When they came out of the mercenary guild building, Ajax and Paulin heard the commotions of recruitments and other things for both ordinary cultivators and mercenaries.

This was not an uncommon sight for them.

Every time a bountiful mission was issued, everyone tries their best to benefit from them. They were either selling the pills or weapons.

Although there was a lot of cheap stuff in those things, many were willing to buy them as they required quantity for all their team members.

Without bothering with that cheap stuff, they walked out from there and moved towards the cursed wilderness.

"By the way, which mission did you pick Ajax?" Paulin asked while they were moving towards the cursed wilderness.

"That last one, Never-returning cave mission," Ajax explained with an embarrassed expression as he was the one who said not to pick that mission earlier, but he was the one who picked up later.

"What? You mean the one you said not to pick?" Although Paulin was not shocked, he was surprised at Ajax's choice.

"Yes, senior brother," Ajax was embarrassed, even more, when he heard Paulin's words.

"Okay" Seeing Ajax's red face, Paulin didn't ask any more questions and continued walking towards their destination.

Ajax felt relaxed when he was not asked any more questions.

....

"Hey Blood Rose, what do you think he is planning by sending two kids on a mission during this time?" In the distance, The Demon Killer asked the Rose, who was beside him with her Squad.

"You mean Edmond? He way of thinking is always different. Who knows what he is up to now?" The Blood Rose shook her head in reply.

"I think he is planning something against the Fire sword sect but I wonder, did he have the sufficient strength to go against the sect?" The Demon Killer paused for a second and asked Rosa, "Anyway, which region will your squad takes?"

"Oh, all of sudden why are you behaving like a gentleman?" The captain of the Blood Rose squad scoffed at the Demon Killer.

"I am always a gentleman," Henrieth proudly said,

"I know. My Squad will take Cursed Wilderness," Rosa selected the cursed wilderness for her bountiful mission.

"Then my squad will clear Cursed Abyss," Henrieth selected the remaining one.
