Chapter 19: Crazy Sword Kyre
"Eh?! Captain Gard, are you really going to change the ownership of your mercenary group?!" Sharon exclaimed.
There are those who look on coldly, some gloat, some watch the show, and so on.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that the slightly famous Chiming Bell mercenary group would end up like this..."
"Hey, it seems that they crossed the prairie and encountered a rat plague, which severely reduced their members."
"Oh! Goddess, how dare they cross such a dangerous grassland, they really deserve it!"
The voices of other mercenaries whispering in the distance did not affect Gard's emotions at all, he just repeated his decision again.
Seeing him so determined, Sharon was also a little embarrassed. This was not an ordinary mercenary team, but one of the top mercenary teams in Rosewood's mercenary association! Therefore, this transfer couldn't be completed by simply signing an agreement.
At least the president would definitely not agree.
"Captain Gard, this matter needs to be overseen by our president directly... I can't help you sign this transfer agreement."
Sure enough, did we still have to pass that old man?
Aurora looked up at the room on the second floor, which was the office of Henrick, the president of the Mercenary Association. She really didn't want to deal with him if she could.
Because
This old man was really annoying!
Among the unpopular NPCs in the player vote, apart from the unshakable First, the NPC from the Republic of Harmonia, this old man definitely belongs in the top chart, and the reason was that he was annoying and stingy!
Whether you were undertaking tasks or dealing with affairs, as long as Henrick participated, you would always be under his sarcasm and cynicism. If he released a mission, it was not only annoying, but the rewards were also severely lacking.
If he hadn't been loyal to Brigitt City and performed outstandingly against the United States of Harmonia in the later stages, he would have been killed by players hundreds of times.
And, she personally hated his condescending attitude as if every mercenary under him were incompetent and a troublemaker. Just like a stubborn-headed elder, he didn't put young people in his eyes at all.
Had he never heard of the saying, "thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong. Don't bully the poor and the young"?
This man was an exact definition of "Old Antiques"!
Sharon asked Gard to wait for a while, grabbed the application form, and hurried upstairs. Not long after, the door of the upstairs office suddenly opened, and an old man ran out angrily.
"Gard! You bastard! You actually want to transfer your mercenary group in private?!"
Henrick rushed downstairs and walked in front of Gard. At this moment, his neck was bruised, and he yelled at Gard. "Do you know that the transfer of the mercenary group is a very serious matter! The inspections have to go through very careful screening, how can you decide for yourself to hand them over in private?!"
He pointed at Aurora's nose without even looking at her. "And you actually want to hand it over to a dead brat who has just passed the mercenary qualification certification? Are you so old that you have lived to be a dog?"
"Tsk...the dead old man is still so annoying."
"What? Damn kid, what did you say? Tell me again if you have the ability!?" Henrick stared at Aurora in disbelief. For the first time, someone dared to speak ill of him in front of his face!!
"Isn't it? Don't talk in such a roundabout way, I know what you mean." Aurora spread her hands and didn't look at Henrick at all.
"Isn't it because you think I'm of unknown origin and I'm too young and inexperienced, so handing over the mercenary group to me will definitely cause trouble? So you are right to stop this transfer in line with the duty of the president of the mercenary association before something happens. Isn't that right, old man?"
"Hey, you brat is quite self-aware. Also, don't call me an old man, you brat! I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. You weren't born yet when I started as a mercenary. Do you know what it means to respect elders?!"
"I don't think my elders will be so noisy like you, oh yes! I'll give you a little reminder, don't be so irritable all the time, don't blame me if your brain congests and burps when you get older."
"Unexpectedly, the person who tested me was Lord Kyre the Mad Sword. It's a great honor." Aurora put one hand on her chest and lowered her head slightly as a courtesy, and at the same time, she turned on the system to find out his current information.

"You know me?" Kyre also returned the salute at the same time.
Kyre couldn't help being curious when he saw Aurora figure out his identity. It had been a long time since he had shown his face in front of people, and he was sure that he had never seen this young lady in front of him before. How could she recognize his identity?
"Lord Kyre's name is resounding all over the world. May I ask who here doesn't know who you are? Don't you think so, Mr. President?" Aurora glanced at Henrick, who was standing under the stage with a smile.
"Hmmph!"
Henrick let out a cold snort and turned his head away. He originally thought that this brat didn't know Kyre's identity, so he asked him to teach him a lesson, but the problem was that if the person knew, it was obvious that he was bullying her.
"Don't be too nervous, I won't use all my strength, just simply test whether your strength really meets the standards required by the mercenary group."
"Then thank you for taking it easy on me."
Aurora's right palm suddenly lit up with a red hexagram magic circle, and when she poked her hand into the magic circle, the hot flames gushed out instantly as she summoned Flamberge Waltz.
Kyre's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Magician? No!?"
Everything that happened in front of him shattered his cognition. Facing Aurora, who was about to attack, he pulled out the sword from his waist and prepared to fight. The sword exuded a faint blue light. It was enough to prove that this was not an ordinary weapon.
Aurora preemptively swung the crimson sword to attack Kyre. The moment she attacked Kyre, she immediately activated her sword skillsMagic Enhanced Sword Dance. A fierce flame coiled around The Flamberge Waltz's blade, and in an instant, four consecutive slashes were aimed at Kyre.
With the blessing of magic power, her speed and attack power had increased by almost twice at this moment.
"Well done!"
Faced with the four incoming slashes, Kyre's eyes flashed, and he quickly swung his sword to meet the slashes. Every time he swung the sword, he would drive the surrounding air to generate a breeze, and the speed of the swing accelerated.
In an instant, it turned into a gust of wind and clashed against Aurora's slash.
"Wind Blade!"
The slashes shattered in an instant, and the gust of wind that broke through the slash was still unabated and swept towards Aurora who was behind the slash.
Aurora jumped upwards, and the gust of wind rushed past her feet and hit the railing of the test platform. In mid-air, her left hand aimed at Kyre below, and a large number of fire elements gathered in her palm to produce a burning fireball.
"Magic Cannon!"
Under Kyre's shocked gaze, the fireball rushed over like a meteor.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
