Walking down the street after I left the Red Roses, I felt better as I stopped in front of a rough-looking building with men walking out of it as they gave me a death stare and grunted as I pushed the door open and a woman smoking using a cigarette holder she was attractive with long black hair in a ponytail with one of her eyes covered with her bangs as I stepped towards her and stopped bearly with my head over the conter to. 'I like to join.' I said as she looked down, giving me a gentle smile, leaning forward. 'I don't think you can be a Mercenary kid.' She said, roughing my hair with her hand as she reached out, wearing long silk gloves that covered her arms.
I smiled, knowing she was looking out for me as I handed the letter, and she opened it, and the smile slowly went away. 'Give me a second kid, I will talk to the head.' She said, smiling, and got up, heading upstairs. As I waited, a rough-looking, bold man walked in. He looked around, trying to find someone, but he looked mad, not seeing them. I was standing in front of the counter as he walked over, pushed me out of the way, and slammed his hand on the countertop. I was annoyed 'I was here first, bold fuck.' I said, but he didn't respond, so I pulled out an arrow and coated it in metal nature stabbing him in the ass cheek.
He screamed and swung a backhand towards me as I left the arrow in him and lightly jumped back, landing about fifteen feet away from him as the Mercenary Office became quiet. 'Boy! I will kill you!' He yelled, unshathing his sword as I whistled, summoning Adam and Eve as they screamed their Utahraptor screech, making the man stumble back. 'If you had not pushed me, I wouldn't have stabbed you in the ass. Your horrible manners are what started this. If you want to push it further, I can feed you to my Dinos.' I said as Adam and Eve crouched down, ready to attack, making him gulp and limp away. As a clap came from upstairs, making me look over as the woman was next to an old man missing an eye.
'This backs up what Victoria has said, Jacob. I don't think there is a problem with you becoming a Mercenary, but I ask a job of you first.' He said, making me nod as I knew, letting me join, I need to prove myself. I summoned Adam and Eve and walked towards them. 'What job?' I said as he handed me a paper, it said that bandits and their women were raiding a village thirty miles east, and they had been kidnapped. They wanted someone to find and kill the bandits while saving the women, and I nodded my head, as it was a ten-gold-coin mission and a B-rank mission.
'I will take it, with this job done, you won't have a problem with me becoming a Mercenary?' I said, making him smile and nod. 'If you complete this mission, it will show that you could defeat a C-Rank Rare monster and a pack of werewolves, and kill three barons from the Azerth Empire at your age.' He said, pulling a cigarette out and lighting it, making everyone whisper inside the Mercenary Office hall. The woman looked at me strangely as she hadn't thought this kid would be someone with abilities far beyond his age. 'I will head out then, I will be back in three to four days at the latest, depending on how fast I pick up their scent.' I said, undoing Eve's summon, and slowly turned around with the paper heading to the east gate.
It was early in the morning so If I leave now I will get their withing 45 minutes with Adam as I mounted Adam and started to make my way to the east gate I planned to stop by the village and grab one of the woman clothes or something that had their scent on it as I walked on the main road people looked at Adam with fear as he screeched. Making it out of the gate, I commanded Adam to make haste towards Carne Village. As he pushed off the ground, I looked over my inventory of Dinos and pulled up the egg list. It's time I added another pair. This time, doing two elemental natures, I had been wanting to do it. Still, it costs 1,000 points, but now that I am level 60 after completing the knights, I make 600 points a day, making it a lot easier for me to obtain them.
I choose the Stegosaurus, picking Metal and Lightning natures for both the male and female, as I feel those natures would be best for this kind of dinosaur to have. As I changed the strength on the bones of the Dinos, making sure their newfound powers wouldn't put stress on their body, I brought them, placing them near the Tri's to keep them safe. I had five hundred points left over and used them to mature two Tri's and four more Utahraptors. Before the war, I plan to mature all the babies I have now, meaning within the next week, all my points will be going to them.
We rushed towards the village, making good time as we ended up getting there in 40 minutes, as I slowed down the moment I entered, looking around to see the damage. Four villages around here had been attacked. It's estimated that the bandits are somewhere in the monster forest, but no one has been able to find them, as most of the scouts have been killed or have come back empty-handed. An old man walked out of a partly damaged house as I jumped off Adam and walked over to him, as people started to come out. I commanded Adam not to do anything to scare them as he stood up and just looked around. 'I am looking for the village elder, may I know where to find him?' I asked the old man, and he pointed to a home on a hill.
Walking that way with Adam following me as the kids looked on at the boy and giant Utahraptor standing about ten feet tall when standing up straight and seven feet tall at the hips when walking. As we made it up the hill, I noticed two graves and sighed, knocking on the door. 'Village Elder, I was sent from the Mercenary Office to track down the bandits and kill them.' I yelled out as the people at the bottom of the hill started to make noise, and the door opened. The old man looked like he had been crying, and then he scoffed at me. 'They sent a child.' He said, making me look over at Adam, and he sent a wind blade towards a tree in his yard, cutting it down. 'Don't judge me for my age, you have no idea what I can do.' I said as the tree fell with a loud crash. Making me smile and nod.
'Very well, how can I help you?' He said, making me smile as I summoned 58 Utahraptors and spoke. 'I need something with any of the scent of the people taken so that they can get their smell.' As the people walked back, my Utahraptors screeched and screamed, scaring them and making me roll my eyes at the Utahraptors. The people in the village started to run back to their houses, and the village elder walked into his house, bringing two scarves out. 'These belonged to my daughter-in-laws, please bring them back along with my granddaughters.' He said with tears in his eyes, looking over at the graves. I nodded as I called Adam and Eve, letting them smell both as others brought stuff.
Letting all my Utahraptors smell everything so they could have the best chance to pick up the smell. 'I will bring them back alive or dead so that you can have closure in the worst case.' I said, making him nod and bow. 'Thank you, young one.' He said, and I nodded. 'I can understand y'all's pain, so don't worry. I will make sure they pay with their lives.' I said and mounted Adam, walking towards the forest near the village, as that was where the bandits had come out to attack them.
Samantha had picked up a scent, making me command the Utahraptors to spread out and kill any males that we came across, just in case they were scouts for the bandits. No Mercenaries are here, and worst case, it's an innocent, but I will not risk our cover for them. As we slowly made our way, as I don't know this forest very well, it would be stupid to run headlong into their territory. We walked for an hour until I got a signal from one of the Utahraptors of a group of men. Rushing over to the one as he was on the outskirts of the formation, I told the others to hold their place.
As I got close, I jumped off Adam and climbed a tree to look at the group. 'Man, why did the boss send us out?' Said a skinny-looking man to a fatter, bald man. 'It's your fault for carving up one of the women, you should know how not to break your toys at your age.' The fat man chuckled. Making me squint my eyes, I pulled three arrows out, aiming at the three guys behind the skin and fat man, signalling the two Utahraptors to move, telling them to send wind blades to their legs.
I whistled as I let the arrows fly, hitting the three men in the head as the skin and fat man got caught off guard by the wind blades, cutting one leg off each of them. They started to scream as Adam and the other raptors pinned them to the ground, covering their face with their foot, sending their hooked claw into one of their eyes. As I walked over, I spoke loudly. 'Stop screaming and I will make them take their foot off your faces.' I said, and they slowly stopped making sounds, and I nodded as Adam and the raptor removed their foot. 'You know what this is?' I said, pulling out a bottle, and they nodded. 'Only one of you will be able to live with this, as I only have one, and you're bleeding very badly. Where is your base?' I told them, before the skinny one spoke. 'Ten miles south of here.' He said quickly, and I commanded Adam to bite off the fat man's head and gave him the bottle.
'Of course you will be coming with me.' I said to tie the skinny man up and make the raptor carry him by a rope in its mouth.
