Chapter 2256 The Routine of a Law Enforcer (1)Chapter 2256 The Routine of a Law Enforcer (1)
"I'll do my best," Minos said as he looked at that guy who had a humanoid body, the legs of an ox, and the head of a bull.
Meanwhile, the other three group members, two level 99 individuals and one level 98, looked at Minos curiously, interested in seeing this mid-level Grandmaster acting.
Normally, Law Enforcers were either Rank-and-File Soldiers or Elite Soldiers. The reason was obvious: they had to keep order and enforce the guild rules, so they had to be able to deal with guild members living in the area where they operated.
That was the area external to the headquarters, so any problems that arose for Law Enforcers to solve would be with individuals of the Recruit, Rank-and-File Soldier, and Elite Soldier ranks.
In other words, a guard from the Law Enforcement Hall in this external area had to be able to deal with individuals from these three hierarchies!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Will he cope?' Asked one of the two level 99 to his level 98 friend. 'We're here to help him, but the tradition is that new Law Enforcers solve the problems of their first day on the job by themselves, and we don't help him until he's in mortal danger.'
'He accepted this mission because he wanted to, Banus. The optional missions have warnings about their risks and the indicated cultivation range for accepting these missions.' Said the level 98 individual. 'If he was greedy for the 300 merit points, that's his problem.'
Meanwhile, the group leader began their patrol, walking ahead of his men while thinking about Minos' audacity.
'I want to see what this kid can do.' He thought to himself, 'He's probably not a fool, so he must have power. But does he know our job isn't just enforcing the law?'
One might think that a Law Enforcer would put on their uniform, fulfill their responsibilities, and then put these matters aside when they left their cloak. But it wasn't that simple.
Once a Law Enforcer, always a Law Enforcer, that was the motto of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Why was that? Well, because by taking action against problematic guild members, Law Enforcers ended up earning the enmity and sometimes the hatred of those they punished, prevented from something or even humiliated.
People who broke the rules within an organization, like Armhands, were usually not very sensible beings. Some of them would not simply see the Law Enforcers' attitude as one of their own organization that had nothing to do with personal problems. Some would take it personally and have problems with specific guards.
I may be able to do other missions simultaneously and earn a little more than 1,500 merit points a month. That will speed things up for me.'
While he thought about what his next few months in the guild might be like, their group crossed half of the external city, with the group members talking little to each other the whole way.
But Minos was left with a question after a while when he stopped thinking about his future plans.
"Why are we patrolling this place together? I mean, I heard earlier that there aren't many Law Enforcers in the external part of the city. Wouldn't it be a case of each guard patrolling different locations?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe leader of this team nodded to Minos positively. "It would be, but only Elite Soldiers can do that.
As it's more difficult to solve the problems that can arise around the guild without other guards' help, the premium for service is higher, and there are fewer such missions. All of them are already being taken up by Law Enforcers of Elite Soldier rank at the moment, and as soon as one of them leaves the service, someone like me will try to pick up the mission."
"The pay for patrolling the external city alone is 800 merit points a week." Said one of the two level 99 individuals.
"Oh?"
The group leader continued to explain. "Some of our comrades in the Law Enforcement Hall do their patrolling on their own. But those of us who can't take on these patrol missions individually have to act in groups."
"I see. Is there any benefit to someone like you being with a group like ours?" Minos asked.
"Yes, when you serve as a Law Enforcer, you get preference to take that individual patrol mission. So even if I get paid less to do it together with you, I'll get a much better mission because of it." "I see."
After more than an hour and a half of calmly patrolling the zone they were responsible for handling together, they spotted a situation near a predominantly residential area.
As soon as they heard sounds of combat and murmurs of concern or even interest in the dispute, the five started running while the group leader gave Minos guidance.
"Recruit, I hope you can handle this. That is your responsibility! If you can't handle it, I'm afraid this will be your first and last time on this kind of mission!"
