The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 2 unexpected problems

Isabella felt very lucky with the rest of the money, she could buy a ring equipped with magical power. At first he did not remember if in this novel there are still many people who use magic, one of which is disguise magic.

That way Isabella does not have to bother making a disguise as detailed as possible, because with this ring she only needs to imagine what kind of disguise she wants and it will be realized immediately. But unfortunately, in one ring each person can only disguise in one disguise. 

After all the disguises were done, Isabella immediately rushed back to the rabbit Guild. As he remembered if he wanted to become a mercenary knight, everyone would have to register as a mercenary knight first, whether that happened in this novel or not.

"Excuse me, can I take one mission here?" isabella asked the man sitting on the reception desk.

"Show me your identity card first" the man replied with a note of care.

"I don't have a card yet."

"Well, which mercenary knight doesn't have a card, huh?"

"Hey, kid. If I look at your height, you must be immature. It would be nice for you to leave here and find another job, this job is too dangerous for you" said a man who had just arrived. He looks quite great from his posture and also the star-shaped golden brooch on his shoulder.

The star-shaped golden brooch signified its level, the mercenaries had many levels ranging from, iron, copper, silver, gold, gems, ruby to diamond level. Diamond-level brooches were generally only owned by elite mercenary knights. That's what was once described in the novel.

"Filton, tell me which mission you want to take?" the man turned to Filton. What attracted Isabella's attention was her immutable attitude, which could prove that she was not a sycophant who discriminated against the status of others.

"You still haven't changed, March. Then please give me a slightly higher mission, I intend to level up again," the man replied.

The man named March quickly picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Filton, Filton read the paper for a while and then left.

"If I want to have an identity card, what should I do?" ask Isabella again on March.

"Of course, hunting. But how can you hunt, if you don't have a dagger" replied March.

Isabella only realized because she was too busy thinking about disguise, she forgot to buy a knife or dagger. But he was confused as to how because now Isabella no longer has money, if at this time does not make money then she herself can not eat later tonight.

"Don't confuse it so." March pulled out a kitchen knife from her drawer and gave the knife to Isabella, "You may bring the knife and return it before dinner, because my wife has to use the knife to cut the meat."

Isabella did not expect that the man named March would be this good to her. Even so, hunting with a kitchen knife is actually quite surprising. But using a kitchen knife is much better, than carrying nothing.

Isabella's been running for almost 2 hours. But, there was no sign of monsters around this forest. From the plot of the novel he had read, the villagers were often disturbed by red wolf monsters that were 2 times the size of ordinary wolves.

"Yes ...." The voice of a woman's cry was clearly heard not far from where she stood, without thinking for long she immediately rushed to find the location of the scream.

Arriving there he saw 3 goblins shaking trees, while on top of the tree was a girl aged around 8 years. In the original novel there were rarely goblins wandering around like this, and now they were not just wandering around. Isabella hated goblins because their faces were so ugly.

However, Isabella was quite lucky at the moment, as she only met the unintelligent goblins. If they were intelligent goblins, then it should be if they wanted to hunt at least they were carrying hunting equipment.

Having sunk in her own thoughts Isabella had not had time to pay attention to the girl, the increasingly violent shaking managed to make the girl's grip loose. As the girl fell, Isabella quickly ran over and hap! he managed to catch him. After that Isabella dropped the little girl off at a place not far from the goblins.

"Run to the village," Isabella ordered the girl, the girl nodded and immediately ran away.

Then Isabella swung the knife in her hand quickly at the goblins, and who would have thought that the kitchen knife was so sharp, in just one slash the goblin's head was instantly detached from his body. The smell of his blood was a little unpleasant, and this made Isabella suddenly nauseous. But how else, he had to endure until all these goblins died.

"What's? you loaned that 5,000 gold coin knife to an amateur mercenary knight, are you crazy? what if he sells that knife after he finds out he's worth the sale, huh?" martini's annoyance to her husband, March.

"I've never been wrong in judging people, obviously if the man is a good boy. Trust me." March tried to convince his wife.

"Hmmm!" Disillusioned Martini, instantly takes her eyes off March.

Not feeling it was already evening and Isabella in disguise still did not show herself, March began to be shrouded in agitation because the wife had already ignored her. Deep in his heart, March begins to doubt Isabella. But Isabella's eyes made March unable to disbelieve.

"I'm back" said Isabella, who had just returned with disordered breathing, clearly looking very exhausted.

"Thank you for the knife, I cleaned it in the river before I came back" Isabella continued, placing Martini's knife on the table.

Just as the knife was placed, Martini quickly picked up the knife and examined it carefully, "Why is the knife this way?" 

"I used it for hunting" replied Isabella misbehaving.

"What is ka …."

"That's it!" another man shouted pointing at Isabella. "He's the one who stole my quarry."

The attention of everyone in the guild was on Isabella, except March, who stared intently at the man who accused Isabella.

"What do you mean by that? obviously I didn't steal your quarry even I didn't know you" Isabella replied.

"Which criminal is willing to confess his crime. Obviously if I were the one who slashed the goblins with my own sword, then while I was asleep from exhaustion, you quickly picked up my quarry before I woke up" the man said.

"How do you know I took it while you were asleep?"

"Bring him here," the man ordered to his subordinates, before long his subordinates returned with a girl. Isabella knew the girl's face well, because she was the girl she saved from the goblins.

"He was the witness" the man replied embracing the girl. The girl looked frightened, threatened to give false testimony.

"Rightly, the man didn't even have any hunting equipment at all."

"He looks like he's not a mercenary knight, it's hard to believe he's a mercenary knight even a low-level brooch he doesn't have, then how can he kill a goblin?"

"That guy looks poor, he must've really stolen."

All the mercenaries around them started to ridicule Isabella, while Isabella who couldn't even prove that the goblin was actually hunted by her started to be struck with anxiety.
