"Boss, how far is this from Falling Star City?" asked Regner, limping as he walked with a stick. After a few days of getting along, Regnar and Kordak and others gradually became acquainted, and after learning that Kordak was the captain of the mercenary team, Regner also changed his title to "Boss". This made Kordak very happy, and repeatedly praised Regner as a "little guy with vision and knowledge of current affairs".

Kordaq took out the map, looked at it, and said, "Hmm...... We're about to get out of the Silvermoon Forest, and we're still about a day and a half away on the Plains of Piro. Why? Can't wait to see it?"

"That's not it, it's just that my body hasn't gotten better yet, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for a few more days. Ragner shook his head.

"Cut, I'm embarrassed to say that if it weren't for you, we'd all be here today. ”

"Eh, isn't that the boss, you're righteous? Regner said flatteringly, then turned his head and said, "Of course, good people like Sister Vera and Big Brother Selenos won't leave me alone. ”

"Hmph, even if you have a conscience, I think you've been a dogleg of Kordak for the past two days. Vera said.

"What is a dog's leg, I don't like to hear it. Xiao Lei and I know my temper, and Xiao Lei also understands people, and I can see that your mother-in-law is bullying me all day long, and sometimes I can't help but come out and complain, right, Xiao Lei!"

"That's it. Regner quickly chimed in.

"Huh?!" Vera raised her eyebrows.

"No, no, Sister Vera is the best, when did she bully you, boss, what you said is not quite right. Regner suddenly felt a chill in his back and quickly changed his words.

"That's pretty much it. Vera nodded in satisfaction.

"Traitor, I've taken care of you so much for the past two days, I didn't expect to rebel so soon, and I won't have you dinner tonight!"

Regner didn't show any shame on his face, but ran to Kordak and said, "That'...... Boss, you know Sister Vera's skills better than me, and I was also forced to be helpless. You can rest assured, no matter what I say, I will firmly support you in my heart. But I also want to advise you, in the future, you should not raise the bar with Sister Vera, even if your tongue is better than hers, people still have nails and teeth!"

"Hmph! What are these words!" Cordak said awe-inspiringly: "I, Kordak, am a dignified man, how can I give in to a wicked woman like Vera? Don't look at her, this will look powerful, that is in front of you, I will save her some face, and when I return to Meteor City, you will see how I clean her up! Anyway, I am also his captain, and I can't even control a small team member, so I can't mix it up?"

Kordaq just wanted to show his tall image in front of Regner, but the more he talked, the more excited he became, and his originally suppressed voice gradually became higher. When he came back to his senses, he found that Regner was three or four meters behind him, looking at him with pity. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Vera squinting and getting closer, and Kordak's screams echoed at the edge of the forest.

"That...... Vera, listen to me, I'm joking with Regner. Oh, don't catch it, don't catch it, just say it. Oh, I said, don't get an inch. I'm mad at you doing this again. Hiss, I was wrong, I can't do it. Oh, TNND, Regner, you can't get her away, there's no stars in broad daylight, you look up at the fart!And you, Selenos, what did you do when you provoked her? Come here!ahhh

Regnar listened indifferently to Kordak's screams, walked up to Selenus and said, "Do you have such a time?"

Selenos just smiled and didn't speak.

......

Two days later, Regner and his party finally arrived in Falling Star City.

Along the way, Regner also learned some things about the Eastern Continent by chatting with Kordak and others. Unlike the Western Continent, legend has it that the Eastern Continent did not exist for a long time. With the development of human navigation in the western continent, people discovered the eastern continent, so a large number of human beings came to the eastern continent to multiply voluntarily or forcedly.

Over time, the humans of the eastern continent did not form any imperial power, but formed another social form - the city-state.

There are a total of nine human cities in the eastern continent, large and small, due to the threat of elves, orcs and other alien races, although each city is independent of each other, but the exchanges between them are friendly and close. No matter what foreign invasion of any city, the humans of the rest of the cities will unconditionally give a certain degree of help. Meteor City is the largest, most populous and most prosperous city among them.

It is worth mentioning that the human cities of the eastern continent are not only allowed to live by humans, and there are many alien races that have a friendly attitude towards humans also live in these cities, and humans also warmly accept them, after all, many alien talents are also very popular in the human world, such as the unparalleled forging technology of the dwarves, such as the deep and unique understanding of magic of the elves.

According to Kordak, Meteor City is home to about five percent of the city's alien population, and mobile aliens make up one-sixth of the city's floating population.

When the city actually appeared in front of Regner's eyes, Regner couldn't help but be amazed by its majesty.

"Anyway, you're also a person who has been in the imperial capital of the Hawk Empire, why do you feel like a hillbilly entering the city?" said Kordak disdainfully. Actually, I don't blame Regner, even Melindel is much inferior to Meteor City. The only one that can surpass Meteorite City is probably the thousand-year-old capital of the Southern Stoke Empire on the Western Continent.

"Yo, Kordak, is the job done?" the guards who defended the city greeted Kordak warmly.

"yes, I'm finally back, this time it's time to rest for a few days. Kordaq replied with a smile.

"Hmm, who is this kid?" the guard looked at Regna curiously.

"Oh, the little guy got lost in the forest, and I brought him back along the way. Alright, I'm going to go back to the shower and get some sleep, and I'll have you a drink another day!" Kordaq waved at the guards and walked in.

......

Walking down the clean streets with Regner, Kordaq asked again, "Have you thought about it?"

"I ...... I don't know. Regner replied again blankly.

"In that case, I have a proposal. Kordaq said.

"Boss, you say. ”

Kordak looked at Vera and Selenos, and after the two nodded, he said, "Hmm...... You've been calling me boss for so many days, I don't think it's as good as me really being your boss. ”

"Boss, are you going to start a gang? Do I have to pay a fee for your little brother? How much reward do you give every month? What kind of reward do we take care of? Is it easy to collect protection money? If the folk customs are too strong, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it. Regner froze for a moment, then spat out a barrage of questions.

"What, what?" Cordak was full of black lines: "Lao Tzu means that he wants you to join the gang and be a mercenary with us." ”

"Huh, mercenary......" Regner hesitated.

"Why don't you look down on mercenaries?" Vera raised an eyebrow.

"It's not ......," said Regner with a wry smile, "It's just that I've been used to being in the slums in the past, and although it's hard, it's not that dangerous." I've heard that mercenaries dance on the tip of their swords, and I won't tell you that I'm a cowardly and afraid of death, so can I be a mercenary......

If it had been Ragner a month ago, he would not have agreed to Kordak's proposal anyway. But the experience of the last month, especially the three days spent alone in the forest, has made Ragner a lot more resilient. And in the process of getting along with Kordak and others, he also felt that although the life of a mercenary was more dangerous, it was much more enjoyable than the hard work of living in the slums. So he didn't refuse, but just seemed a little hesitant.

Kordak rolled his eyes: "! I think you're comfortable and stupid in Melindel, aren't you? If you still plan to steal chickens and dogs all day long like in Melindell and wait for death, I guarantee that in less than half a month you will die on the streets and don't know how to die! This is the eastern continent, and you can't get mixed up here without two brushes! If it weren't for the fact that you are a good person and have a little ability, Lao Tzu would not bother to care about you." ”

"But it's really ...... to do this" Until now, Regner still feels his scalp tingle when he remembers the scene of being besieged by a dozen Swift Shadow Dragons, and these are commonplace for mercenaries.

"The higher the risk, the higher the return, I heard you say that you toss in the slum for a long time, at most you will not starve to death, Lao Tzu's mission is to earn dozens of gold coins, enough for you to eat and drink spicy food for a month." Besides, I've been doing this with Vera and Selenos for six years, and I haven't seen anyone missing an arm or leg so far. ”

"Dozens of gold coins?!" Regner's eyes lit up, he grew up in the slums, usually did some odd jobs to earn a few copper coins, and occasionally went to some large households to "find" something to sell for money, but the money handled in a year only added up to one or two gold coins, and now Kordaq can get dozens of gold coins after only completing one commission, which has to shock Regner.

"Boy, I don't think you seem to recognize your own value yet. Kordak pouted: "You yourself also have a fifth-level fighting spirit, although the martial artist who cultivates the fighting spirit is not as rare as the magician, but how to say that you are also a figure that three or four ordinary people can't get close to, if you really have the heart, you can go hunting in the forest, just the Swift Shadow Dragon you met before, one of its dragon skins in good condition can be sold for twenty silver coins, and you have no problem cleaning up three or four." I've really never seen someone as unproductive as you, who doesn't use your skills and lives all day long doing odd jobs and holding copper plates. ”

"I ...... I didn't know I was so good. Regner said helplessly.

This really can't be said that Regner is unproductive, because he has only had a fighting spirit for less than half a year, and he was afraid of being suppressed and bullied before, so even if he has a fighting spirit, he is cautious everywhere. After that, before he could recognize his value, he was suffocated in prison with a stick, and then came to the Eastern Continent inexplicably. He didn't tell Kordak about this—I'm afraid Kordak won't believe it either, and he will directly cultivate the fifth-level Dou Qi in half a year? Are you a psychopath?

"Then what should you do? Have you thought about it? I'll be honest, you don't have a family background, so it's impossible to do business here, not to mention that your brain estimates that doing business will kill you; you don't care, so it's impossible to do a force protection fee here, not to mention that you only dare to pay protection money if you have the guts; you have no education, and it's impossible to become a civilian wherever you want, not to mention that the employment pressure is so great now that many high-achieving students can't find a job. What's more, your IQ is estimated to be too low for people to see the door; you are not old, and I am afraid that no one wants to be a guard for others with such a thin and small appearance, not to mention that your baby face looks like you have just graduated from kindergarten; you have no appearance, and it is impossible to be a noble lady's male pet if you want to eat soft rice, not to mention that your gray-faced orcs think you are dirty. You ......"

"Boss, Boss...... Don't talk about it, boss, I think I'm too wasted anymore......" Regnar was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, so he hurriedly interrupted Cordak's analysis.

"So, that's the only thing you have. Follow Lao Tzu, how good it is for Lao Tzu to take you to eat fragrant and drink spicy food!"

"Then ......" Regner hesitated.

"Gee, what's there to hesitate about. Can you still suffer by following your sister and sister? Don't worry, there is danger that my sister will protect you. Vera also persuaded.

Regner looked at the two who were persuading hard, and then at Selenus who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and finally said ruthlessly: "Okay, boss, I will be a mercenary with you in the future!"

"Slowly, slowly, do you think we're begging you to come? Nod your head and we'll be done?"
