Kingdom Capital, Adventurer Guild.
"Only 20 gold coins for killing that many Undead?"
Sitting at a tavern table, Kenichi looked somewhat dissatisfied at the bag of gold coins in his hand.
These 20 gold coins were naturally the commission for the thousands of Skeleton Undead from before.
If other Copper-ranked adventurers heard Kenichi's words right now, they would definitely be furious enough to spit blood.
I work hard for a whole year and don't even make 20 gold coins, and you make 20 gold coins in one go, yet you're still not satisfied?
"Kenichi-nii, besides the commission, we also got this!"
Wendy, sitting across from Kenichi, waved a bluish-silver plate about the size of a thumb in her hand and said with a smile.
That's right. This time, besides receiving 20 gold coins as commission, Kenichi, Erza, and the group's adventurer rank was also promoted from Copper to Mithril.
It's just that Kenichi himself wasn't very interested in the adventurer rank promotion.
After all, with his strength, reaching Adamantite rank was only a matter of time.
"Mithril rank, above that are Orichalcum and Adamantite, right?"
Kagura put down the teacup in her hand and asked.
"That's right! Adamantite-ranked adventurer is the highest rank!"
While Kagura and Wendy were talking, Lakyus of Blue Rose, Evileye, and the rest of their group were walking directly towards them from the staircase on the guild's second floor.
"Are those people the members of Fairy Tail?"
Tina, following beside Evileye, looked at Kenichi, Erza, and the group and asked.
"Correct. That man is the leader of Fairy Tail, Kenichi."
Hearing Tina's question, Evileye answered.
"They are indeed strong. Although their magical power is suppressed, you can still sense their strength."
Lakyus also stared at Kenichi, Erza, and the group and said.
Blue Rose was one of the few Adamantite-ranked adventurer teams in the kingdom.
Now that all five members of Blue Rose appeared simultaneously, they naturally attracted the attention of the other adventurers in the guild hall.
"All members of Blue Rose are actually present? That's really rare!"
"Is something about to happen in the capital recently?"
"Don't know. Even if something happens..."
"Look, look! They're coming over!"
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the adventurers, Lakyus, Evileye, and the group walked up to the table where Kenichi, Erza, and the others were sitting.
"Members of Fairy Tail, we are Blue Rose. We have a mission and would like to invite you to join us. Would you be interested?"
Lakyus looked at Kenichi and spoke gracefully.
Although Lakyus's voice wasn't very loud, her words reached the ears of all the adventurers present.
When they heard that Lakyus was actively inviting Fairy Tail to join a mission, the guild hall instantly erupted.
"Hey now, really?"
"Blue Rose is inviting another team to work together? And it's a Mithril-ranked team?"
"Fairy Tail? How come I've never heard of this team?"
…
Kenichi naturally also heard these adventurers' discussions, but he didn't pay them any mind.
Right now, he was looking at Lakyus, Evileye, and the others before him and said with a smile: "A mission? What kind of mission?"
Actually, Kenichi knew that Lakyus wanted to invite him to participate in the operation to eradicate the Eight Fingers.
But the eradication of the Eight Fingers was a secret operation.
Besides Blue Rose, within the Adventurer Guild, only some invited Orichalcum-ranked adventurer teams knew about this matter.
Others simply couldn't know.
So Kenichi pretended not to know.
"Sorry, I can't tell you the specific content of the mission for now. If you are interested, let's discuss it in detail upstairs. Of course, we will pay you the commission at the Adamantite-ranked adventurer rate."
"Adamantite-ranked adventurer rate? That sounds pretty good."
"Then, everyone, let's talk upstairs!"
With that, Lakyus, Evileye, and the others headed back towards the guild's second floor.
After Lakyus and the others left, Erza stood up, walked to Kenichi's side, looked at their retreating figures, and said: "Kenichi..."
Before Erza could finish, Kenichi interrupted her: "Don't worry. If there are any problems, I'll have Irene and Brandish come over."
With that, Kenichi, accompanied by Erza, Wendy, Kagura, and Carla, walked towards the guild's second floor.
Of course, the reason Kenichi accepted Lakyus's invitation, besides the high commission, was ultimately because Kenichi knew that the Great Tomb of Nazarick would be involved in this eradication of the Eight Fingers.
And the mutual acting between Ainz and Demiurge also happened this time.
He came to the royal capital precisely for this.
Now, Lakyus was inviting him, and he'd get paid. Why not go along with it?
