Chapter 3 Provocation
One-handed swords are fast, ruthless and accurate. For a beginner, in addition to his own conditions, one-handed swords are more important than perseverance. The founding emperor of the great mercenary empire used one-handed swords to the extreme. The founding emperor once said this: "Those who use swords must first use their heart!" Since then, countless swordsmen have used this sentence as their lifelong inscription!
"Little brother, let's leave here! As this mainland highway moves forward, you will see Nanyang City. When you see Nanyang City, you will find the Mercenary Guild!"
The older business traveler waved toward the curved path. His already straight body became hunched over. Looking at the gradually disappearing back, he looked so pale and powerless at this time.
Last night, the older business traveler told Li Xiangfeng that the one who saved them should be the passing elves. Only the elves can have such superb shooting ability. I was so lucky that I could still meet elves in the Qingyu Forest. The older business traveler muttered this not a joke.
On the Noah continent, as long as there are mainland highways, there will be mercenary guilds. The well-connected mainland highways closely connect the countries on the entire continent together.
Not far from Nanyang City, there is a wooden house up to 9 meters on the right side of the mainland highway. There are bluestone steps at the entrance of the wooden house, with 25 steps. The four gilded characters "Mercenary Guild" are written in three languages: humans, elves and dwarves!
"Squeak-Squeak" The wooden door of the Mercenary Guild was pushed open, and a 16-year-old boy came in. Like all Mercenary Guilds in mainland China, the second floor of the Mercenary Guild, the first floor is a bar for mercenaries to rest and wait for tasks! The second floor is the place where mercenary staff work and rest, and non-guild staff are generally prohibited from entering. On the left side of the bar is a rectangular counter, and the cabinets erected behind the counter are filled with various kinds of alcoholic beverages. In a corner to the right of the inner side, there are rows of wooden steps leading to the second floor, and under the steps is the counter of Mercenary Guild staff. The reception and handover tasks are at this counter. There are tables and chairs in the middle of the hall, and there will never be a lack of guests. The bar on the first floor of the Mercenary Guild is full of people at this time.
Li Xiangfeng looked around and walked straight to the Mercenary Guild Office.
"Uncle, I want to participate in the recruitment activity of the Longyou Mercenary Group. Do I need any procedures?" Li Xiangfeng asked carefully.
"No need for any troublesome procedures, just register here for official members of the Mercenary Guild." The staff took a look at the little boy who was not very strong without hesitation.
The Longyou Mercenary Group is not something that can be joined by kittens and dogs. I heard that many noble children are looking for contact, but they fail to get what they want with the back door.
"I'm not a mercenary member, how can I join?"
"As long as you are over 16 years old, you can apply for 5 copper coins per person."
The old man took out a form from the documents stacked on the countertop.
There are only six items in the form:
Name:
age:
gender:
Profession:
Race:
Application date:
After Li Xiangfeng finished filling it out, the old man took out a white book from behind the counter. The book clearly stated four words "Mercenary Diary". This is the diary that every mercenary must have. It will record all the tasks you do and is also a sign to distinguish the mercenary level.
The old man put the white mercenary diary in the middle of a light blue magic circle on the counter. There was a tiny magic matrix surrounded by magic crystals on the counter, and then put the form just filled in on the mercenary diary.
After a blue light flashed, the old man took out a purple diary from it.
"Congratulations! You have become a G-level mercenary!" The old man handed the purple mercenary diary to Li Xiangfeng.
Mercenaries of each level of s,a,b,c,d,e,f,g have their corresponding mercenary diaries. G-level mercenaries are purple mercenaries diaries, f-level mercenaries are blue mercenaries diaries, e-level mercenaries are blue mercenaries diaries, d-level mercenaries are green mercenaries diaries, c-level mercenaries are yellow mercenaries diaries, b-level mercenaries are orange mercenaries diaries, a-level mercenaries are red mercenaries diaries, and s-level mercenaries are seven-color mercenaries diaries.
"Then how do you participate in the recruitment activities of the Longyou Mercenary Group? Uncle."
"No! Fill in this form and pay the handling fee for 2 copper coins."
"Ah! I have to pay again!" Li Xiangfeng touched his pocket.
The form is very simple
Name:
Profession:
Mercenary Level:
Previously engaged in mercenary groups:
Working in Mercenary Group Positions:
"Hey! Little kid, do you want to join the Longyou Mercenary Group?" A middle-aged man with a burly figure and messy hair sat on a table near the counter, with a disdainful expression on his face.
"Yes, uncle, is there any problem?" Li Xiangfeng turned his head and looked at the middle-aged soldier.
"Have your dad taught you what it means to overestimate yourself? It's just you...ha! Ha! Ha!" The middle-aged soldier laughed loudly.
"Your Excellency! Please pay attention to your way of speaking!" Although he used honorific words, Li Xiangfeng's eyes showed endless anger. Seeing his father mentioning this sloppy man, Li Xiangfeng had inexplicably the urge to kill him.
In this mercenary business that relies on strength to make a living, everything is based on strength. If a weak opponent despises an opponent who is stronger than his own, then for this powerful opponent, this is not only contempt, but more of a provocation.
"It seems that if you don't teach a lesson, you really don't know that the sky is so high!" For a boy who is several times weaker than you, you dare to provoke him like this, the middle-aged soldier picked up his weapon from the table - a battle axe with both hands. The people watching the fun behind him consciously cleaned up enough space. For such small-scale fighting, almost all the time, the mercenary bars are often performed. As long as there is no life, the staff in the Mercenary Guild will generally not interfere. Of course, the smashed tables and chairs are compensated. Whoever compensates them will see who falls down.
"Little brother, just leave if you have nothing to do! You are not his opponent!" The old man behind the counter suddenly felt good about this reckless little boy, and appreciated someone who dared to face an opponent that was stronger than him without retreating! There were also many frictions between mercenaries in the mercenary bar. Generally, when you see an opponent that was stronger than you, you would choose to leave, and a powerful opponent would not be embarrassed, but you would just talk about the cheapest words. Most of the mercenaries fighting in the mercenary bar are mercenaries below level C, and only mercenaries of these levels would do these boring things to pass the time.
"Uncle, thank you,'" Li Xiangfeng looked at this elder who cared about him with gratitude, suppressed his anger and was about to walk towards the door.
"Little devil! That's right. Follow your father, get out!" The middle-aged man mocked him with a thrust. Some people around him sighed at the middle-aged man's behavior.
"Hmph! It's ridiculous to bully a child" a soft hum in the crowd recalled from the mouth of a man in a black robe.
When the middle-aged man was about to drink the man in black robe who was meddling in other people's business, the angry Li Xiangfeng rushed up with a sword.
The middle-aged man reacted quickly. The left-handed battle axe drew an arc in the air and slashed towards Li Xiangfeng's left shoulder. Li Xiangfeng held the sword and rushed forward. The moment the left-handed battle axe was bounced up, the right-handed battle axe cut silently towards Li Xiangfeng's waist. The moment the right-handed battle axe approached the waist, the battle axe suddenly changed, and the axe blade and the back of the axe quickly turned around. The middle-aged warrior obviously just wanted to teach this little boy who was ignorant of politeness.
Many people think that the middle-aged soldier can defeat the little boy with this blow. At the same time, the battle situation suddenly changed. Li Xiangfeng suddenly felt the danger brought by the battle axe on his waist. The agility of exercise over the years has been at its peak at this moment. He quickly turned backwards with his standing position as the origin. While his body was turning back, he actually left a translucent image on the spot.
The "high-level afterimage" mercenaries who had no enthusiasm for this fight suddenly became excited. The afterimage attack that only high-level warriors had actually appeared on a little boy, and the little boy did not look like he was over 18 years old.
The battle axe with his right hand cut the afterimage, and the afterimage broke in response to the sound.
"It's not simple, little dear!"
"But, go to death! Red-turned!" The huge anger was exposed, and the middle-aged soldier's body suddenly changed. His body was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Layers of red gas wrapped around the middle-aged soldier. Finally, his whole body was wrapped in a thick layer of material from head to toe, fiery red, like a set of red armor.
The middle-aged soldier wore red armor and rushed over quickly. The red armor did not affect the speed of the middle-aged soldier at all.
