I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 166 A Call for Help!

Nearly an hour later, the hunter's assistant hurriedly returned with a pile of materials.

"Mr. Jiang, these are the four commissions that I have selected that meet your requirements. Please take a look." He then handed over the relevant materials.

Jiang Shang nodded, reached out and took it, and began to read it.

Seeing this, the assistant chimed in to explain, "Mr. Jiang, the first document is about going to Inner Mongolia to capture a wolf king that's wreaking havoc on the grasslands. According to intelligence from another hunter, it seems to be a 'Saber-toothed Wild Wolf King,' a leader-level creature. There's a picture of it on page 5 of the document. It's been spotted recently near the Yinshan Mountains. The client also indicated that if they can't capture the wolf king, they'd be happy to get its cubs."

Listening to his assistant's words, Jiang Shang turned to the fifth page and indeed saw the figure of the saber-toothed wolf.

It was a massive figure with bluish-brown fur, most notably its protruding mouth and sharp, long saber-like teeth. In the photo, it stood atop a high mountain, gazing at the distant mountain range, while below the peaks, a pack of wolves stood like rows of rocks.

After carefully observing the wolves for a while, Jiang Shang shook his head and said, "One commander-level wolf isn't enough. Besides, chasing the wolf king and the others would take too much time."

As he spoke, Jiang Shang flipped to the next document.

"Mr. Jiang, this mission is a commission from the Victorian clan of England. They want someone to go to the Gambier Islands to capture a dragon," the assistant said.

Victorian clan?

Isn't this the British royal family?

Jiang Shang looked at the demonic dragon roaring and flying over an island, his expression becoming slightly solemn.

Judging from the shadow cast on the ground, the wingspan of the dragon in the photo is estimated to be over 100 meters. And this is just an approximation; the actual wingspan might be closer to 150 meters. This size is almost monarch-level, not to mention it possesses the blood of a true dragon, making its strength even greater. Even if Jiang Shang were to use his full power, he would only be able to escape with his life.

"Forget about that. A monarch-level demon is no match for my small frame," Jiang Shang said.

"Then Mr. Jiang's next task is definitely suitable for you. It's a commission to capture thunderstorm squid in the Pacific Ocean. As far as I know, thunderstorm squid are social creatures, and their leaders are often commander-level demons. Recently, a hunting team has accepted the commission. You can go with them," the assistant said.

Capture the thunderstorm squid?

Hearing his assistant's words, Jiang Shang frowned.

Isn't this the task that I just called an idiot?

"No, someone has already taken on this task, why are you bringing it to me again?" Jiang Shang questioned his assistant.

The assistant remained calm and composed, as if he had planned this all along, and said, "Sir, you may not know this, but although the thunderstorm squid is ferocious and extremely dangerous, its meat is also incredibly delicious. Furthermore, long-term consumption can enhance lightning resistance. Therefore, it has always been a renowned delicacy internationally, attracting countless people who want to eat it, which led to this long-term commission to capture thunderstorm squid."

Furthermore, you also mentioned that "the demons must be numerous and of high quality, preferably commander-level demons listed in the mission materials," and this mission fits that description perfectly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang exclaimed, "Wow!"

It seems this idiot's commission is long-term!

However, Jiang Shang still did not intend to accept this commission. Why? He couldn't possibly complain about the task one minute and then immediately start to take it personally.

After mentally complaining, Jiang Shang raised his hand and moved the document in front of him aside, looking at the request document at the bottom.

Upon first glance, the enormous characters struck Jiang Shang's heart.

"Is this a request for help?" Jiang Shang looked up at his assistant.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang. This is a notice issued by Songcheng to the Hunter's Alliance two days ago. A tiger king from Changbai Mountain summoned a large horde of demons and attacked Songcheng. Songcheng has issued a purple alert, and the local mage association and army are fighting hard to evacuate the people from Songcheng! But as of today, many people are still trapped in the city, and evacuation is difficult. Many hunters have already accepted this commission and boarded military planes to go there," the assistant explained.

"Are there any military planes heading to Songcheng this afternoon?" Jiang Shang asked decisively.

He decided to accept the commission announcement the moment he saw the materials.

Although it's possible that they won't find enough high-quality demons to test the power of Little Star Picker on this trip, the monarch-level demons will definitely be stopped by the super-level mages.

But that's alright. We don't need to be commanders; we can still cast spells on general-level demons.

Even if you use a cannon to kill a mosquito, it still eliminates the demon, doesn't it?

Moreover, with many people suffering terribly, Jiang Shang decided not to nitpick anymore.

"I'm sorry, sir, the military planes have already taken off today. But another plane will be heading there to provide support the day after tomorrow. You can take that one," the assistant said, slightly taken aback.

"That's too late. Do you know which city is closest to Songcheng? I'll go there first and then rush to Songcheng," Jiang Shang asked, frowning.

Upon hearing Jiang Shang's words, the hunter's assistant immediately understood that the mage before him wanted to rush to Songcheng's aid as soon as possible. His face lit up with excitement, and he hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, let me check. I found it's Jingcheng, but there are no flights there. You have to take a train from Shanghai to Huacheng, and then take the high-speed rail to get there!"

Can't we get there directly?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang looked thoughtful and suddenly asked, "Isn't there any other solution?"

"No, Mr. Jiang, this is the closest available. Why don't you wait for the military plane to arrive the day after tomorrow?" the assistant said apologetically.

Clearly, she felt extremely guilty for not being able to help Jiang Shang.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let me ask you, how many hours does it take for the high-speed train from Huacheng to Jingcheng?" Jiang Shang asked.

"two!"

"What about those from Shanghai and Feihua City?"

"Three."

"This will do. It's faster than the flight the day after tomorrow. I have a contracted beast, so we can just travel the rest of the way," Jiang Shang said decisively.

"Alright, sir, I'll book the earliest flight for you right away. Booking through the Hunter Alliance gives you special privileges; you can jump the queue and get the earliest flight." The assistant said hurriedly, then ran towards the counter in her high heels.

But before Jiang Shang could praise her for her decisiveness, she came running back with a clattering sound.

"Excuse me, sir, could you lend me your hunter's pass? I need it to check in for my plane ticket," the assistant said, her cheeks flushed.

Jiang Shang nodded after hearing this and handed over his hunter's badge.
