When they arrived at the reception of that place, the two old men waited for about 5 minutes in line until they finally had the turn to speak with one of the attendants at that place.

Although the Mercenary Guild was not full of people, with crowds forming outside the building, plenty of cultivators were still inside. This place wasn't small, and even this first half of the building alone could support more than a thousand people sitting around those tables.

And due to the small number of receptionists at the time, there was already a little queue inside this building.

When it came to the two old men's time, they went to the 19th service station. This place was like a long corridor, where each assistant's desks were lined up side by side in a perfectly symmetrical set.

Each attendant had a space of about 5 meters in length at the counter, where they had their place of work, with small identification arrays and some other items.

All these people wore two types of uniform, a women's suit with a scarf around the neck and a men's suit with a tie.

"Welcome to the Mercenary Guild. How can I help you?" That attendant at counter 19 finally asked the two gentlemen who had stopped in front of her.

Hearing this, the two greeted her and then began to ask their questions. "Young girl, we don't understand some of this information on the screens. Can you explain it to us?"

"Of course, it will be a pleasure." She nodded while she had a discreet smile on her face and then started to explain. "Well, for starters, for our missions and mercenaries registered, in this guild will have the same rank."

"In other words, an SS-ranked mercenary will be able to do individual missions up to this rank. As for group missions, mercenary teams received permission to do missions, one class above the average strength of their members."

"Oh? That sounds reasonable. What is the distinction in levels between classes?" one of them asked.

"From F to A, they are all divided into two. So, for example, there is an A+ and an A-. As for the minimum level for each, we require that for someone to move up in rank, that person needs to have twice the power he had at the beginning of his class."

"The minimum required level is level 30, which is classified as F-."

"Like what I said before if a person at level 30 wants to do individual F+ missions, that person must first reach level 35. If someone from the C-, level 59, wants to do an individual missions C+, he will have to reach level 61."

"And so on."

Hearing this, both men looked at the young attendant in disbelief, with their eyes and mouths open. "Wow! All of this?"

"Young girl, if someone needs to be level 61 to do a class C+ mission, what is the minimum level for the SS missions?" the other asked in curiosity.

Of course, he would never need to know such a thing, as he did not expect to reach such a level. But it was okay to ask...

She then replied. "Actually, the young master didn't establish the SS class as the top. There's one above this one, which it's called X. The minimum cultivation level to perform this class's missions will be level 89."

"EIGHTY-NINE?"

These two old men wanted to shout this question, but while they were there, someone else at a nearby bench had asked this question out loud for the whole hall to hear.

"It can't be. That must be your mistake." One of the two old men said to the young woman.

The Black Plain was improving very fast, but it would be crazy to aim so high!

So, there was no way they could believe it at first. In fact, one of them had even looked around to check if this wasn't a prank...

The young attendant smiled and said. "I understand you, hehe. I also thought so when I was trained. But the young master gave such order. He said it would take time, but one day even the Spiritual Sages will live in our city!" She proudly said as she lifted her chin, with a confident look on her face.

Many of these attendants had thought there was something wrong with this recommendation. However, when they heard the word of Minos during the opening of this place, their doubts were gone.

They genuinely believed in the person who had changed this place!

This person was only less than three years in this city and had already changed this place from water to wine. Not only that, but the young man in his early adult years who arrived here at that time, still in the first stage of cultivation, was now as strong as Spiritual Kings at the start of this stage!

Such a thing was absurd, and the people of the Dry City knew it. The rumor of the fight of Minos against 'Spiritual Kings' had already spread through the city for weeks, and all the citizens already knew of his capabilities.

What was a Spiritual King?

The rulers and experts of this region!

But in a short time, Minos had already reached this level, which many only dreamed. Because of this, every one of those people who knew about the deeds of the local sovereign believed in him faithfully.

If he said, such a thing would happen, then who were they to doubt it? At the very least, it wouldn't be impossible for someone as gifted as he.

Such was the respect that Minos had earned...

Finally, the two old men became solemn again upon hearing and seeing how this attendant had explained. At the same time, they no longer found this statement so impossible. "Well, at the rate things are going, I don't doubt Mr. Minos can succeed!"

'Ah, how lucky we are! Our land will truly ascend to heights!' The other thought with a twinkle in his eyes.

In general, untalented cultivators didn't like strong places. However, if they had a chance to grow up with the state, it would be very different!

After this moment of reflection, the two finally returned to pay attention to the young attendant's presentation. "However, this is just the rank for guild missions. We also have a sector where we publish job offers."

"The difference with this is that while missions have these power ratings and have rewards, these publications only indicate jobs in the city. That is, where you can work and earn a monthly wage."

She then pointed to a small corner on the left side of the building and said. "There on those screens, you can find these announcements."

"As for these jobs, there is no minimum level required by us. Each of the publications already specifies the ideal cultivation range to compete for one of these vacancies." She explained.

"Oh? That's nice. I have a friend who has small joinery, but he can hardly find suitable apprentices." One of them commented.

"Hmm, it's true. It's hard for old Hadwin to get new apprentices since he can't let go of his responsibilities just to advertise. Paying for others to do this isn't cheap either."

"By the way, young girl, how much does it cost to do this?" The other man asked.

"For publications, we charge 5% of the wage offered per month that this ad is available here. For missions, the value is 10% of the reward value and is also valid for one month."

"This is not expensive!"

After that, they continued to learn about this location. From what they had heard from this attendant, there were several structures, like rooms, where mercenary teams could rent and meet in the other half of this Mercenary Guild.

There was even the possibility of forming factions to carry out the missions. And to make life easier for these people, having an official place to meet would be ideal, particularly within the place where they would pick up most of their services.

Other sectors of the guild were also on this other side of the building, such as the payment sector. In this place, both people who wanted to place missions or publications in the guild could do this, and registered mercenaries could receive their crystals.

Each mission posted required the payment of the reward and guild fee in advance to assure the mercenaries would be paid upon completing one of the missions.

As for the payment of these people, that would depend on the proof that their missions were succeeded.

There were several different ways to do so, which would vary according to the type of mission. However, this would still be checked by guild officials to ensure there is no cheating...
