Chapter 520: Tianji Country, Mercenary Guild
Once I woke up from a dream, it was already a new world.
This is the moment when Ye Shuo fell out of the spatial passage, the most real feeling.
Antique streets, wide bluestone pavements extend in all directions, continuous houses are lined up, shops are lined up along the road, and flags are lightly waving in the wind. The traffic is busy, the pedestrians are weaving, and it is clearly a similar scenery, but it is already in a foreign country.
The twilight quadrangle dyes the whole world with a layer of hazy pale gold. Ye Shuo stood on the unfamiliar long street, slowly raised his head, and felt the warmth of the sunset on his eyelids. Pedestrians on both sides shuttled back and forth, and no one looked at him much.
It is a strange country, where no one knows himself, and in the same way, there is no more enmity that goes hand in hand. From now on, maybe he can finally live a little freer.
Although it is not a top power, it is still more prosperous than Yixi in terms of land area and economic development.
Correspondingly, there is a significant increase in prices.
That night, when Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan went to stay at the inn, they realized that they were shy in their pockets. The combined money on the two of them was only enough to open a single room in an ordinary inn, and their backs ached from the squeaking wooden bed.
At that time, the two realized that if they wanted to survive in this strange country, they couldn't just rely on cultivation. First of all, they need a job that will allow them to eat.
In his heart, Ye Shuo reminded himself over and over again that he was no longer the multimillionaire he was at the beginning. Earlier, when he was hot-headed, he set aside all his savings for the construction of the Dingtian Sect, which was heroic at that time, but in exchange for the current embarrassment.
But since it's all over, forget it, anyway, he originally suffered from the days of poverty and whiteness, not to mention that his current strength has long been different from what it used to be, and it is not difficult to start from scratch again. I only hope that the Dingtian Sect can expand rapidly and gain a stable foothold in the Yixi Kingdom with that money.
In addition, when he was still in Yixi Kingdom, Ye Shuo once asked the puppeteer master how to repair the Ten Directions Killing Puppet. In the Six Imperial Desperate Realm, it was really destroyed too much, basically only a bunch of fragments remained, although Ye Shuo himself felt that there was little hope, but he really didn't want to lose this secret weapon, and almost all of the more famous puppets in the country were visited by him.
Most of the puppeteers shook their heads at a glance, and then went out of their way to recommend the new puppets in their shop. Only one veteran puppeteer said that repairing the puppet would probably take as much work as refining a new one, but if he didn't bother, as long as he collected enough raw materials, it wasn't impossible.
The old puppeteer spread out the pen and paper on the spot, and listed all the materials needed and the approximate price. The strings of prices that don't treat money as money made Ye Shuo feel a pain in his flesh.
In the end, the old puppet master also told him that the technique of filling spirit stones to trigger puppets was many years ago, and now a high-grade spirit puppet usually uses the demon source essence of a high-level demonic beast as the power center. That is to say, in the future, the operation of the puppet can be driven by the demon source spirit itself, and there is no need for him to enter the spirit stone again and again.
It sounds good, but in fact, it's just a matter of letting people inject spirit stones in batches and inject them all at once......
The price of the high-grade Demon Source Essence is simply a sky-high price. Even when he had a lot of money in his pocket, he probably couldn't afford it. Even so, sometimes there will be a situation where there is no price, after all, it is not a joke to hunt a high-level magical beast.
The higher the level of the filled Demon Essence, the stronger the puppet will be when it is running. Of course, Ye Shuo didn't want to find some low-grade recharge casually, but he didn't want to waste money on this luxury. If you really can't do it, can you really have to hunt the monster yourself?
Those are all in the future, and there is no point in thinking too much. Ye Shuo turned over, what he should do now is to go to bed as soon as possible, recuperate enough to find a job the next day.
***
A magnificent building stands tall, with gray tiles and white walls, a wide dome, a solemn portico, and layers of delicate carvings on the walls, like a delicate sculpture.
The interior of the building is resplendent with various bird patterns painted on the columns, and colorful flower windows are dividing the screen. The floor is covered with a carpet embroidered with soft brocade in warm tones, with occasional bright red flames.
This is the mercenary union of the Tianji Kingdom. This is an organization that straddles the spiritual continent, and as a mercenary, he can also have numerous privileges in various countries like a special profession.
After more than half a morning of investigation, Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan agreed that being a mercenary was the most suitable job for them. So they spent the whole afternoon rushing to Canterlot.
Although he can be regarded as a dual-professional if he is so-so, his alchemy is only a theory, and it is okay to refine some ordinary pills, but it is obviously not sold at a good price. As for the soul master, most of the jobs that the soul master can receive are assassinations and the like, or in a large-scale war, the killing is too heavy, which is not to Ye Shuo's appetite.
Mercenaries are treated much better. According to the report, in addition to the basic salary every month, the more tasks you take, the more wages you earn. Ye Shuo secretly calculated that if he worked hard for a while, he should be able to save enough raw materials to repair the Ten Directions Killing Puppet.
At the same time, the tasks of mercenaries are spread all over the world, and it is a place where information circulates extremely quickly. If there is news from the Six Imperial Demon Lords and advisors, he should be able to receive them as soon as possible.
Although when he left Yixi Kingdom, he always felt that he had arranged everything properly and had nothing to worry about, but when he left in a hurry, Ye Shuo was still often worried. How did the battle in the square end up? Are his companions still safe? Luo Shenxing, will he anger the Dingtian Sect?
But even if there are more things that he can't let go, it is impossible for him to turn around and run back to Yixiguo. Let's concentrate on gaining a firm foothold in the Dimensity Kingdom first, and then report safety to everyone......
At this time, it was dusk again, and it was about dinner time, and the crowd in the hall had dispersed one after another, leaving only a few mercenaries to clean up the environment.
Behind the long table at the reception sat a gentle young man, who, though he had been working all day, could not see any impatience on his face. As soon as he saw Ye Shuo and Xuyuan, who were still looking around in the hall, they immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Welcome two." Are you here to post a task?"
Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan glanced at each other and said, "Hello, we are here to apply to join the mercenary union." It's still ...... Do you want to accept people?"
The young man nodded, and quietly replaced the smile of greeting customers with welcoming newcomers: "This is natural, our mercenary union welcomes fresh blood the most." He led the two to the long table, sat back in his chair, and said, "If you don't mind, I'll give you a brief introduction to the operating procedures of our union." ”
"Here, different customers come in every day to post tasks, which are also publicly posted in the lobby. According to the difficulty of the task, we have roughly divided it into levels, from low to high, into C, B, A, S, and the top SS level. Mercenaries can freely choose the tasks they want to take on according to their abilities.
After each mission is completed, the mercenary will receive a certain amount of points in addition to his salary. When the points accumulate enough to the standard, the mercenary level can be increased. The higher the rank, the more generous the base salary will be in the future.
You have just joined, and you are uniformly divided into intern mercenaries, and after you have enough points, you will be promoted to one-star mercenaries, and so on. The point system is the same as the rules of cultivation, the further you go, the more points you need to level up. ”
"Four-star mercenaries and five-star mercenaries have a noble status here, and they usually don't show up easily. They are usually only seen when SS-class missions are released. As for the mercenaries of three stars and below, they usually eat and live together, and if they have any difficulties, they can help each other.
The union also provides a special place for everyone to practice, and there are all kinds of cultivation classics. However, everyone can see the yellow-level cheats, and if you want to learn the higher-level cheats, you need to exchange them with task points. ”
"Life here, basically, there are tasks to take on tasks, and if there are no tasks, you will cultivate separately, on the whole, it is relatively easy, and I believe that you will be able to adapt as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan were constantly nodding their heads when they heard this, the young man smiled faintly and opened the record book from the table, "My name is Feng Yu, and I am the person in charge here, you can call me Brother Feng like everyone else." Okay, if there are no other questions, I'll register you now. ”
The registration started from Xuyuan, and Ye Shuo took advantage of this opportunity and was still looking around.
It seems that the future should be interesting, and he is already looking forward to the new life he is about to start.
"Xuyuan, your strength is not bad, but don't be blindly complacent. For the first time, it's best to start with the most basic C-level. Wait until you get used to the intensity of the task, and then step by step. After the registration of Xuyuan was over, Feng Yu briefly persuaded a few words, and then turned to Ye Shuo, "It's you, what's your name?"
Ye Shuo hurriedly pulled himself back from his trance, and responded, "My name is Ye Shuo." ”
"Ye Shuo?" Feng Yu frowned, and asked as if he was a little hesitant: "You...... You're not from a native country, are you?
He just reported a name, how could the other party conclude that he was not a native? But strange and strange, Ye Shuo thought that it was common for him to register his nationality, and he didn't think that the little fight he had in Yixi Country would be qualified to let his name spread to Tianji Country, so he still replied honestly: "I am from Yixi Country." ”
"Yixi Guo......" Feng Yu muttered again in his mouth, suddenly sneered, and muttered to himself: "That's right." The mercenaries in the hall also turned their heads almost at the same time as they heard the name, and gave him a malicious sneer.
Ye Shuo felt chills all over his body. Why...... Suddenly you feel like you've fallen into a wolf's den?
Feng Yu scribbled a few more strokes on the register, each of which was so hard that it seemed to cut through the paper. At the end, he took out two forms and slapped them in front of the two of them: "These two forms, you hurry up and fill them out." Hurry up!"
When the two forms were thrown out by him, they were already crumpled, and looking at his strength, he couldn't wait to throw the forms directly to the soles of the two of them. The brush flicked several times on the table, dragging out the intermittent ink stains.
Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan were inexplicable, this Fengyu was like a sudden change of person, could it be that because they had officially joined the mercenary union now, they immediately became an oppressed employee? If so, this person is too duplicitous, right?
The form is full of basic information, mostly about the spiritual skills that the individual is good at, as well as the size of the clothes, probably because the mercenary guild needs to unify the clothing. Although these are their personal information, they are not something that can be imagined with a pat on the head. However, as long as the two of them hesitated a little during the registration process, Feng Yu's murderous eyes would stare at them.
finally finished filling out the form half-pieced, and Feng Yu threw out two badges with a cold face. If it weren't for the two of them catching up quickly, they would almost be blinded by the badge.
"What is this?" Ye Shuo looked at the badge. It was a round hedron card the size of a bottle cap, red on the surface, and a faint number "0" could be faintly seen inside.
Feng Yu looked at them as if he was looking at a pile of garbage, and he couldn't wait to look at people directly with his nostrils: "What else can it be? The badge of the trade union! You all wear it with me, if you lose it, you will roll up the cover and get out!"
"......" Xu Yuan looked at his badge, and then looked at Feng Yu who was also wearing the same badge on his chest, and in the badge was a slightly bright red number "3".
"You're just a three-star mercenary, what are you doing like this?" Xu Yuan blurted out.
Feng Yu took the case on the spot, and when Xu Yuan wanted to pounce on him and make a move, Ye Shuo stopped Xu Yuan and shook his head at him.
Feng Yu snorted coldly, pressed the bone joints, and said angrily: "That's right, when newcomers come here, they must abide by the rules here." Alright, you," he said, pointing to a mercenary in the corner, "and take them to where they live." ”
"Ah, this big brother, let me ask. After the mercenary led the two of them out for a while, Xu Yuan quietly asked, "Is there any food in the kitchen?" We haven't eaten after a day of running today......
Feng Yu's ears were very pointed, and he walked down directly from the table: "There is no food, let's be hungry all night." ”
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes with his back to him, and proposed to Ye Shuo himself: "Brother Ye, I think let's go out to eat." There are so many restaurants out there, I can't believe I can't find one to fill my stomach. ”
The two were just about to turn around, when Feng Yu shouted again: "Don't go!"
"Why? You don't let people eat?" he yelled back.
"Why? All mercenaries must eat in the union union, otherwise others are taking on tasks, and you are eating, like words? I have always emphasized to you, eat and live together!" Seeing that Xu Yuan still had a bitter face, he pursed his lips with disdain, "Okay, young and strong, can you starve to death if you don't eat a meal?"
Ye Shuo sighed. It seems that the idea that life here is worth looking forward to, he can take back now......
