Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: What a Coincidence

Rota hadn't forgotten his main business. He came to see if there were any commissions he could take. Generally, commission tasks were more abundant in taverns, so Rota set his sights on finding a tavern .

Not long after entering the village, Rota found several taverns. He randomly picked a livelier one and walked in .

Inside the tavern, there was loud commotion. The floor was littered with scattered wine bottles. Rota's first impression was that it was very messy. It was perfectly normal for taverns to be chaotic. After all, it was a place where all sorts of people mixed together .

Rota went straight to a wooden board covered with papers next to the counter. As soon as he entered, Rota had noticed this board. Now looking at it, sure enough, it was full of commission tasks .

"Sir, are you here to take a commission?"

While Rota was seriously looking at the commissions, the tavern waiter had already come to his side and asked .

"That's right. This old man wants to find some commissions that pay well~"

"I see. There's actually a commission with quite high payment here. It was just posted not long ago. So far, no one has taken it."

Hearing the tavern waiter say this, Rota became interested. Generally, such commission tasks didn't have low payments. Doing one of these should be enough to sustain him until he reached Heaven Dou Imperial City .

"Could you please give this old man a detailed introduction of this task? I'm quite interested~"

"Alright, please follow me. It's too noisy here!"

It seemed the tavern waiter's manners were quite good. Otherwise, in such a noisy environment, there wouldn't be much patience left .

Under the tavern waiter's guidance, Rota soon entered a room with good soundproofing .

This room not only had extremely strong soundproofing, even the interior decoration looked high class. It was comparable to those high-end hotels on Earth .

"Oh~ This is much quieter!"

"Of course. This is the highest grade private room in our tavern, sir!"

The tavern waiter didn't waste words and directly retrieved an exquisite commission form from a cabinet behind him. Obviously, this exquisite commission used paper that wasn't on the same level as those posted outside .

"Looks so valuable, this paper~" Rota exclaimed .

"Yes. This is Spirit Hall's special commission paper. Naturally, it's different from those ordinary commissions."

This was truly quite a coincidence. He encountered a Spirit Hall commission right away. Looks like he had fate with Spirit Hall !

"Sir, please have a look!"

The tavern waiter respectfully handed the commission to Rota .

After reading carefully, Rota discovered this commission's difficulty had its reasons .

The content was to follow Spirit Hall's special soul hunting team to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast .

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was enough to dissuade many people. To deal with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast required at least a Titled Douluo as a starting point .

Rota fell into thought ...

In the plot Rota knew, Bibi Dong obtained the seventh spirit ring for her Death Spider Emperor martial soul after hunting Xiao Wu's mother. Could this commission be related to her ?

Although the commission payment below made Rota very tempted, he still needed to consider carefully~

The most puzzling thing was that Spirit Hall's consecrated and elders should be sufficient, right? Why would they need to issue such a commission ?

"How strange~"

"What's wrong, sir? Is there something you don't understand?"

"Yes. This old man finds it strange. Spirit Hall shouldn't need others' help, right? They should be able to handle this kind of thing internally."

The tavern waiter walked to Rota's front. Because Rota was sitting, the tavern waiter could lean near Rota's ear. Then he told Rota some inside information about this commission .

A long while later ...

"I see. Quite interesting!"

Through the tavern waiter's disclosure, Rota also learned the origin of this commission. This commission wasn't about Bibi Dong but was related to Qian Xunji .

Qian Xunji was about to break through to Titled Douluo. He personally wanted to obtain even more powerful strength. Therefore, he wanted to gather some strong folk experts to hunt very high-level soul beasts together .

On the other hand, it was also to fill the Spirit Hall elder positions lost last time .

The story behind this was quite intriguing. This was a plot segment Rota had never heard of. It looked like new plot developments had already occurred .

If he took this commission, could he directly become an elder without participating in the selection? If it was really like this, that would be too convenient .

"Young man, this old man will take this task. According to what you said, this commission shouldn't be expired yet, right?"

"Of course. If it had expired, I wouldn't have brought it out for you, sir. It was previously placed on the bulletin board, but not many people paid attention to it, so I put it away."

After Rota received the exquisite commission form, the tavern waiter even kindly advised a few words .

"Sir, because the commission is extremely dangerous, it doesn't matter if you don't complete it. Spirit Hall will also pay a reward."

Regarding this advice, Rota only took it as the tavern waiter's goodwill. Rota was quite confident in his own strength. He could use this commission's hundred-thousand-year soul beast to practice .

"That's that. I wish you good fortune in battle!"

Rota didn't dawdle and left the tavern. The place he needed to go now was Spirit Hall's camp stationed near this small village .

Ten minutes later ...

"Moshi moshi, I heard this is the place to participate in the commission. Is that correct?"

Rota had already arrived at Spirit Hall's temporary camp according to the route on the commission form. However, to be safe, he still inquired .

Soon, two Spirit Hall guards ran out. The two guards were first surprised by Rota's height. After seeing the commission form, they hurriedly brought Rota into the camp .

"Sir, there's someone here to take the commission. I've brought him!"

"Good. You may withdraw first!"

"The Supreme Pontiff has already agreed to grant an audience. Hurry in!"

"Thank you for your trouble~"

Soon Rota met another plot character after Xiao Wu's family: Qian Xunji .

"You're the one who accepted the commission?" Qian Xunji looked at Rota and asked .

"If there's no one else, then it should be this old man!"

At this time, Qian Xunji's age should be about the same as Kizaru's. Kizaru was already 58 years old in the plot, while Qian Xunji achieved his title at 60 .

"Old man? Do you know my age? You dare call yourself old man in front of me?" Qian Xunji was actually somewhat amused hearing Rota's self-address .

"Not really. It's just that this old man feels his appearance looks relatively old, so I call myself that. Actually, my age isn't small either. I'm 58 years old~"

Qian Xunji was also a bit surprised hearing Rota's age. "You have a point saying that. However, you should know I'm already 60 years old!"

"Is that so? Then how does Lord Qian Xunji maintain himself? This old man feels that even constantly drinking health tea can't avoid aging!" Rota deliberately joked with Qian Xunji .

Qian Xunji was somewhat confused. Was the person before him really here to take the commission, or was he messing around? Don't tell me the guards randomly found a mental patient. But the guards wouldn't dare fool him, right ?

Considering everything, Qian Xunji felt the man before him with extremely strange appearance and clothing should be here to take the commission .

"I think we should get to the main topic. May I ask for your name, sir?" Qian Xunji politely inquired .

"Oh my, look at this old man's memory. I forgot to introduce myself. Lord Qian Xunji can call this old man Borsalino! Of course, you can also call this old man's nickname: Kizaru!"
