The woman at the front desk had a stern attitude as she handled all the mercenaries coming in and out. I went forward and laid out a pile of rank B cores to start it off so I could gauge the level of wealth I held

Fifty rank B cores rolled on the table, the woman taking her time to count them all carefully. Her cold voice rang out

"50 decontructed rank B cores, amounting to ten full cores. They can be exchanged for 100 gold coins."

I listened to this conversion from cores to the common currency of gold coins and nodded my agreement towards the front desk. 100 glistening gold coins appeared on the table the next instant and I took them into one of my storage rings

Before I turned and left, the woman spoke again in the same cold tone

"Will you be joining the extermination task force heading to the Skypeak Nest tomorrow? Your power matches the requirements."

A task force that was heading towards one of the nests? My eyes gleamed as I heard about this and I asked for more information

"The task force is made up of mostly rank A and a few rank S Mercenaries that are leaving at 9 am sharp. If you plan to join, here is an identification medal that will keep track of all the mercenaries on this mission. Don't be late."

I grabbed the outstretched medal from the woman and thanked her for the information as I turned away. The medal was very light on the hands and had the symbol of two crossing swords. I placed some energy into it and felt thin lines of connection to a few points in [Mercenary's Hideout] as well as points that extended all over the town
