Chapter 490: 9-year commission
Chapter 490 A -year-long commission
On the screen, the cutscene continued.
The scene changed at this moment, moving from that small house to the Adventurer's Guild in Liyue Harbor.
On this day, Catherine received adventurers as usual.
"Towards the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurer's Association!" Catherine looked at this special guest with a smile.
"I have a request."
Said the man with a gloomy face and bloodshot eyes.
"Please tell me. As long as it's a commission, no matter where in the world, our Adventurer's Association will serve you wholeheartedly."
She read out the sentence accurately according to the prompt words set by the system.
The man took out a bag of Mora and said:
"A woman will come to issue a long-term commission in a while. No matter how difficult her commission is, please accept it."
The man describes the woman in detail.
"If her Mora is not enough to cover the commission fee, then I will deduct it from this bag of Mora and make up for it for her."
"Okay, the commission has been received."
Catherine said this.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left.
Catherine tidied up the Mora in front of her and began to receive the next guest.
The scene changed, and a pale-faced woman appeared in front of Catherine. Catherine showed a standard business smile:
"Toward the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurers Association!"
"I want to... issue a commission."
The woman stared at the delicate girl in front of her, who looked like a doll, and spoke sincerely.
But her words were weak.
It can even be said to be on the verge of death.
"no problem."
"As long as it is a guest's request, no matter where in the world, our Adventurer's Association will serve you wholeheartedly."
Catherine read out the sentence accurately according to the prompt words set by the system.
The woman sighed with relief, then carefully took out a thickly folded envelope from her bag and placed it on the table.
From the player's God's perspective, this thick stack of envelopes still remains in its original state after being taken out fifteen years later.
The woman said:
"I would like to entrust you, the Adventurer's Association."
"Send these ninety letters to my daughter, A-He, in the order I marked them, on March 10th of each year."
Catherine nodded happily and agreed, saying:
"Okay, but I have to remind you that this is a long-term commission, so the fee will be higher."
"Is this enough for you?"
The woman handed her a heavy bag of Mora, which was all the assets she had accumulated over the years.
Catherine took the bag and opened it.
There was a gleam in his blue eyes as he scanned the Mora denomination. He finally came to the conclusion:
This bag of Mora only meets half of the commission's cost.
but……
The Mora that the man in front paid for her was just enough to make up the other half of the Mora.
Then Catherine smiled kindly at the woman and said:
"Well, it just meets the cost of the commission."
"Really, really?"
A hint of red flushed on the woman's pale face, and she said excitedly.
"real."
Catherine nodded, then took out a form and handed it to the woman, saying, "Please fill in the relevant information."
"Oh, alright."
The woman picked up a pen and began to fill in the commission information.
Looking at the fragile appearance of the woman, Catherine's eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked softly:
"Please allow me to ask. Madam, why did you make this commission?"
Hearing this, the woman showed a loving smile:
"I want to personally convey my feelings to A-He and my daughter, but the doctor in Bubulu said..."
"There's no way I'll make it through this late fall."
"So, this is the only way I can let my Ahe receive my blessings on her birthday and let me be by her side."
"Miss Catherine, don't you think this is romantic?"
Catherine stared at her soft face, her light blue eyes flickering slightly.
She doesn’t understand:
Why could this human woman be so calm when facing death?
Although she thought so, facing the woman's expectant gaze, Catherine still answered:
"Yes, it's very romantic."
"Thank you."
The woman smiled gently, filled in the relevant information of the commission, returned the form to Catherine, stood up and said:
"I'll trouble you from now on, Miss Catherine."
Catherine smiled and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, the Adventurer's Association will definitely pass on your thoughts to the other party!"
The woman let out a long sigh, turned around with a smile, and slowly walked towards the gate of the Adventurer's Guild.
Catherine followed the mother's lonely and fragile back closely with her eyes as she walked away.
A whole new wave of emotions surged through her.
It was a kind of emotion that she had never learned before, very wonderful and unique to human beings.
Catherine watched the mother leave and used her authority to raise the priority of this ninety-year commission.
At this moment, the mother disappeared from Catherine's sight.
The woman walked on the road, and the noise around her gradually decreased until it disappeared completely.
The woman walked on the road, and the scenery around her gradually became blurred until the picture was completely dark.
The woman walked on the road, walking slower and slower, until finally she stopped on her own initiative.
A slightly regretful smile appeared on Wenwan's face and her body leaned back.
The dark scene before my eyes gradually turned from dark to bright, and the surrounding scene kept changing:
From my first meeting with my husband to walking into the marriage hall hand in hand.
The joy when Shen He was born, the touching moment when she fell asleep in his arms, to now when she has grown into a cute and lovely girl.
Her husband's worry when she was ill, and her husband and Shen He crying and begging her to wake up beside her bed.
Finally, the scene freezes on the coffin about to be closed.
The woman lay there calmly with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
The voice slowly sounded, this was the woman's last thought at the moment of death:
"Don't feel sorry for me, take care of yourself."
"I'm sorry, A-He, Mom has violated the contract and must accept the punishment of the Rock Eater."
The coffin lid closed and everything returned to darkness.
This cutscene ends here.
