After breaking up with Finney, Shi Yinghu came to the Trist Federation alone, although he had not yet arrived at the center of the incident, Dacrim City, but the feeling of panic had spread, although a large number of troops and professionals were converging in this direction, but more civilians were dragging their families into exile.

Because, once Dacrim City completely collapses, a considerable area around it will be affected, and even fall into destruction.

Although the government and experts are admonishing and reassuring the people, it is a matter of life and death.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, riding on a war horse, Shi Yinghu saw a bald middle-aged man with gold teeth, holding a money bag to buy real estate deeds from homeless people.

He wasn't a big businessman, just a speculator.

Bet his net worth and his life, if the disaster in Dacrim City is solved, the surrounding properties that are cheap to the price of cabbage will soon rise back to their original value, otherwise, he will jump off the building...... No, when the time comes, he will coexist and die with these properties.

Shi Yinghu rode a horse and went in the direction of Dacrim City against the main body of the crowd, asking passers-by from time to time where he had been.

And so on, day after day.

As the city of Dakrim approached, the price of goods was getting higher and higher, but fortunately, Shi Yinghu had already prepared for this, and he bought many different flavors of dried meat, dried fruits, Sausage, Shi Yinghu can afford to eat a lot of hardship, but also enjoy great blessings, so when the situation does not allow, he is not particularly concerned about the diet, but the three-headed little fat dog, since he tasted the taste of strawberry cream cake, he refused to eat sugar balls for several days, and finally Shi Yinghu found some candied fruit, and finally satisfied its gluttony a little.

This counts, both sides have taken a step back.

After a three-day trip, Shi Yinghu was finally less than 100 miles away from Dakrim City, but was stopped at a fortified place by a checkpoint set up by an army.

"Anyone who can't provide proof of a second-order professional can't enter, and we are also for your own good, the demon disaster in Dacrim is really too fierce, and the low-level demon hunters used to just send them to death, but they will grow the demon disaster. Sitting across from the round table, a quartermaster with a round face and a big belly with a pen in his hand shook his head.

At this moment, Shi Yinghu was not the only professional demon hunter who was stopped by the army, many men and women with weapons on their bodies, who were obviously dressed as professional demon hunters, were all stopped outside.

"Sir, can't you be accommodating? Our brothers are all senior demon hunters, but we haven't even gone to the examination documents, our strength is definitely at the level of second-order demon hunters, if you let us in, we will definitely be able to help." A middle-aged man in iron armor, apparently a paladin, said as he stealthily pushed his palm in front of the fat quartermaster, but before he could sweep the gold coins (each gold coin was about a thousand dollars) to the fat quartermaster, his palm was held down by the other party.

"It's really not that I'm unwilling to be accommodating, it's that my superiors are strict, and I don't have the slightest choice. However, you can do these tasks entrusted by the military, and if you can complete them, even if you don't have a certificate, you can still get a pass. As he spoke, the quartermaster pointed to the nearby bulletin board.

It's just that the above tasks are time-consuming and low-paying jobs, and it's clear that the main reward is the pass.

"Isn't this just asking us to work for the military for nothing? These miscellaneous asses, we came so far to help and make it difficult for us!" Behind the paladin, a rude and strong barbarian said angrily, but it was useless for him to have a seizure, surrounded by soldiers with guns, and scattered low-level adventurers could not compete with the strength of the army at all.

Shi Yinghu looked at it for a while, and then walked out of the tent, but he didn't have a second-order professional certificate, in fact, he didn't even have a first-order professional certificate, Kate Brian couldn't even summon the clay stone demon back then, and the level was far from the standard of the outstanding fresh graduates of the ancient snake castle.

(Looks like we'll have to find another way to get there.) ）

At this time, a middle-aged man in tattered clothes and a little obscene came to Shi Yinghu's side, and when he saw him, Shi Yinghu subconsciously paid attention to the wallet on his waist.

"Good day, sir. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency also wants to go to Dacrim to make a lot of money, right? Now that there are many precious monsters over there, and several Grandmasters (Strong Three) have already entered, Dacrim will soon be recovered, and at that time, you will work hard to get here, but you will not be able to catch anything. ”

“...... Do you have a way to let me pass the checkpoint with or without a pass?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Shi Yinghu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"Hehe, the pass is still needed, but it takes a little money. After all, it's impossible for a high-level witcher to not be able to take out even a little money, right?"

"How much?"

"Fifty gold coins. ”

"......" fifty gold coins, fifty thousand yuan, and the annual salary income of many strong laborers. However, Shi Yinghu sold a broken gem, spent some of it during this time, and gave half of it to Finney, and he still had ninety-two gold coins left on his body, so he could still afford the money.

Although Shi Yinghu is confident that if he wants to sneak in, he will definitely be able to sneak into the past, but he may not be able to take his horse with him, this war horse obtained from the Scadia army is worth at least a hundred gold coins, so if it is calculated, it is best to get a good deal.

"But how can I trust you?"

"If you have money, then please come with me, I will naturally have a way to convince you. With that, the middle-aged man turned around and left, while Shi Yinghu led the horse and followed behind him.

The reason why this middle-aged man directly chose Shi Yinghu among the low-level adventures was because he was alone, wearing a snake suit and leather armor, and leading a horse, which looked quite valuable.

The most important thing to do in their line of work is the accurate eyesight, the adventure team with a large number of people, if five or six people all have fake certificates, two or three hundred thousand yuan, it is better to complete the tasks entrusted by the military, only lone demon hunters with a certain value like the man behind them are most likely and willing to spend money to get fake certificates.

In the midst of a chaotic pile of tents, the short, obscene middle-aged man in the slum turned from side to west, and finally came to a gathering place for secret prostitutes, and came to a tent.

At this time, there was a moaning from the tent, but the lewd man didn't care, but turned around and said, "Wait a minute, soon." ”

Truly...... Very fast.

In less than a minute, there was no movement in the tent, and at this time, the lewd man came to the side of the tent and called softly, "Sir, here is business." ”

After a while, from the tent, a young officer with a pale face emerged, he was open-arms, and even wore a military uniform, but the heroic military uniform and the ribs on his body were contrasted, which was uncomfortable to look at.

"Sixty gold coins. ”

Shi Yinghu didn't pay attention to him, but directly threw the small money bag that had been prepared when he came over and smashed it into the other party's hand.

"How can you guarantee that this false certificate will work?"

“...... Heh, the quartermaster is my uncle, and the quality of the fake certificate is not as good as the quality of the fake certificate in my hand. After counting the gold coins, although there were only fifty, the white-faced young officer looked the demon hunter in front of him up and down, and felt that the other party was obviously not easy to mess with, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and entered the tent, and after a while, he took out a document from it and handed it to Shi Yinghu.

Shi Yinghu took this pass and looked at it, it was indeed a military seal, so he turned around and left, according to his judgment, the other party was not lying, professional demon hunters are not a group to provoke, although hunting monsters is their main job, but many times, in fact, they don't mind killing.

Even many professionals who have been in the industry for many years, in the case that they have not degenerated, will also do some part-time work such as killers and mercenaries, they have a powerful force far beyond ordinary people, although under the restrictions of the army and scientific and technological forces, there is a slight convergence, but it is only a slight convergence.

........................

After passing the military checkpoint, you will really enter the semi-occupied zone.

The number of ordinary people has plummeted, and the number of occupations, which was originally small compared to the proportion of the total population, can be found everywhere, and shops dealing in daily necessities are often from the background of the government and military.

Ordinary humans, but those who can escape have already escaped.

Dacrim City fell, wrapped in a negative energy enchantment, because the negative energy in this area skyrocketed, so in the semi-collapsed area around it, in fact, the number of monsters increased dramatically and went berserk, but such a surge and madness was soon suppressed by the army and professional powerhouses gathered from all sides.

Lower-plane monsters mean trouble, but at the same time, it also means resources and benefits, for example, the brains of some high-level monsters help to prolong the life of human beings, for example, the stomach pouch of a certain high-level monster can make space equipment, and the humans in this plane world have been affected by the laws of the lower plane for a long time, and some of them, especially professionals, can become more and more powerful by killing monsters.

The extension of life, the strength of the strong, this is the most real hard currency, it is because of the many benefits that can be obtained by killing the demons of the lower plane, so often where there are monsters, there will be many human professionals gathered like vultures who have found rotting corpses. This is often not just for survival and justice, but to a greater extent for profit, and war and killing are meaningless if they are not for profit.

"Brother, are you interested in teaming up together? It's too dangerous to go to Dacrim alone, we already have five of us, plus a good swordsman, and we can go to work!"

"Do you want to buy something? I have a lot of good catches here, take a look, and maybe you like one of them." ”

As soon as you pass the level, you will be greeted by some solicitation voices, no matter which world you are in, there will inevitably be a collection of profit-seekers at the entrance of these levels.

It's just that professional demon hunters form teams with each other, but they have to keep their eyes open, everyone is doing a knife licking blood, and the temporarily organized squad, an uneven distribution, may be the result of swords against each other.

Shi Yinghu led the horse, found a tavern, and then walked in and ordered, although there was not much money left, but after entering Dakrim, I am afraid there would be no chance to spend money, and when he came out, there would be no shortage of money to spend, so although there were not many gold coins, Shi Yinghu did not feel much embarrassment.

In the hustle and bustle of the environment, the tavern waiter was quick to serve large plates of food, which of course could not be as elaborate as the food of "Volgas Night".

Fortunately, the amount is large, and in the case of being hungry, it is also a pleasure to swallow it in a big gulp. The plate in front of Shi Yinghu was piled up with stewed chicken with mushrooms, pork lard and salt bread, and pork leg meat in sauce, and of course, accompanied by a glass of barley wine.

At the moment when the food was served, a three-headed hellhound the size of a rat came out of Shi Yinghu's sleeve, this little guy had three heads and six eyes, staring at the pork leg in sauce, and the saliva in his mouth flowed out like tap water.

During the period of following Shi Yinghu, it was not the turn to fight, every day in addition to eating and sleeping, in addition to sleeping and eating, and also eating a lot of food, during this time, it has been a rich circle...... Shi Yinghu was really afraid, and when he fought with others in the future, he roared angrily: Come out, my hell dog, and a pig with three heads came out of the flames...... I'm afraid the opponent will die of laughter because of this, right?

I didn't want to give it so much meat anymore, so I pushed the bread slice to it, only to be stared at by the three-headed dog of hell with three pairs of big watery eyes...... Mental Injury X3, in the middle of the night, Shi Yinghu sighed lightly and gave half of his sauce pork leg to the other party.

"Eat, eat, you'll have a good meal, and when you enter Dacrim City, you can only eat the flesh and blood of the plane monsters. Seeing that the little guy almost buried his three heads in the meat pile, Shi Yinghu tapped the three heads in turn with his fingers and said.

Just as Shi Yinghu and Chubby were enjoying dinner together, several young girls walked in, all holding a thick stack of paper in their hands, and then distributed them from table to table, ensuring that every diner would be able to see it as long as they wanted to.

Although it was true that there were some interruptions, everyone didn't say anything for the sake of the young girl.

A girl also handed the paper printed with words and patterns to his desk, there is no mobile phone in this world, Shi Yinghu looked at the contents of the paper while eating:

[Sword and Shield Brotherhood, Recruiting Elite Adventurers of All Professions]

Do you want to be able to taste a hearty and delicious meal every day, and enjoy a charming, heroic, or intellectual woman?

However, reality is often even more cruel than the most terrifying monsters!

Success always belongs to a few.

If we are ordinary people, we can comfort ourselves, peace is bliss, and then spend this life in a state of confusion.

But we are professional witchers, and the strong who stand above have everything, and those who stand in the middle and below have nothing.

Enchanted equipment, beautiful women, powerful skills...... Even the long youth and lifespan, these belong to those who are at the top of the profession, and you, if you don't change, you will have nothing!

Now, there is such an opportunity to change your destiny in front of you, seize it, you will change the embarrassing status quo and meet a brilliant and magnificent future!

Our Sword and Shield Brotherhood has strong strength, is an elite team with outstanding reputation in the industry, has cultivated several grandmasters and masters such as Master Raymond and Grull Paladin, and has a good reputation in the upper echelons of the Seven Kingdoms and many city-states, and has undertaken and completed many large and medium-sized tasks well-known throughout the continent. For example, 'extermination of the cannibal tribes of the Dark Forest', 'Clearing the underground prison of the Gruin Palace', 'Ice Plain Bone Burial Incident' and so on.

So, no matter what rank you are, what kind of profession you have, as long as you join the Brotherhood of Swords and Shields, money, companionship, and glory, all this is no longer a dream that you want to achieve but cannot reach!

What are you still hesitating about? If you do it, you may succeed, if you don't do it, you are doomed to failure!]

[Audit: A professional level assessment and a regiment leader interview are required, and different positions are assigned according to different performances.] 】

[Address: 2688 Wilderness Avenue]

At the bottom of the paper is a pattern of a long sword and a round shield intersecting each other, and below the pattern, under the shield sword, is a kind of majestic artistic writing 'Sword and Shield Brotherhood' five large characters.

(Oh, amazing, here in such a short period of time, you can do this, this organizational power and influence, obviously not a small organization.) Shi Yinghu casually flipped the paper over, but he didn't expect that there was something more attractive on the back of the paper - it was a pattern of three professional beauties dressed very revealingly.

A mage, an Amazon, and a female assassin. The long legs under the robes of the female mage, the undulating figure of the Amazonian female warrior, and the vigorous and heroic temperament of the assassin are all portrayed very vividly, and even many young professionals with strong blood can imagine fighting side by side with them.

"The Sword and Shield Brotherhood!? This organization is extremely powerful and prestigious, but this time I went to participate in the recruitment, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet the head of the Gruel, and it is already rare to be able to meet several deputy leaders of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood. ”

"The Sword and Shield Brotherhood has not recruited people for a long time, I didn't expect to recruit people directly in Dacrim this time, it seems that the legend says that they have suffered heavy losses in Dacrim, it should be true, otherwise the Sword and Shield Brotherhood will not lack people. ”

While eating, while listening to the faint sound of discussion around him, Shi Yinghu probably had a plan in his heart.

That night, he rented a room in the tavern and rested for the night, and the next day, he went to 2688 Wilderness Avenue, the Brotherhood of Swords and Shields, the headquarters of the Triester Federation.

It is too dangerous to rush into Dacrim directly, so go in with the group first, and then prepare for the next step.

Of course, Shi Yinghu himself does not intend to stay in a certain organization for a long time, he really has too many secrets, and the profession of necromancer is also relatively suitable for solo training, at most find one or two deputies to cooperate.

............

2688 Wilderness Avenue.

There is an endless stream of people who come to apply.

In itself, the Sword and Shield Brotherhood is a large organization with an outstanding reputation in the industry, and there are many people like Shi Yinghu who think about it, even if they are used to walking alone, it is too dangerous to break into the real fallen area of Dacrim alone in this situation.

At least you can join the Brotherhood for the time being, anyway, the Brotherhood of Sword and Shield itself has an internship period of one or three missions.

During this time, you are not a member of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, but can only be considered a peripheral member, so there is almost no penalty for leaving the Sword and Shield Brotherhood.

"Name?"

“...... Kate Bryan. ”

"Occupation?"

"A first-order necromancer and a low-order apothecary. Although it is said that the mid-level pharmacist will definitely be more valued, Shi Yinghu is also worried that the other party will directly leave him in the safety of the rear, which will be embarrassing.

Low-level pharmacists are not so precious, and as a composite profession to carry out military operations, they can also take into account a certain degree of medical security.

"Pharmacist?" Hearing Shi Yinghu's words, the blonde girl in heavy armor across the registration office table raised her head.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and snow-like skin, although the high-level professionals themselves will continue to "evolve", because even if they are fully trained, they can have delicate skin, but the high-level professionals will not act as registrars, so the female paladin in front of her should really have a special physique, although she has received harsh training since childhood, but her skin texture is excellent.

Finney's skin texture is also very good, but because of long-term sun exposure, he has very healthy brown skin, unlike the girl in front of him, whose skin is white and delicate.

"What potion will you dispense?"

"Small life potion, small magic potion, small endurance potion, explosive potion, poison potion, and I'm good at potion blending, if I go to war with the army, I can reduce everyone's potion load to a relatively minimum. ”

Shi Yinghu's words made the eyes of the paladin girl in front of her light up, the potion was so powerful that the negative effects were so powerful that ordinary humans couldn't even afford it and couldn't bear it. Even for professionals, taking too many potions in a short period of time will cause the potions' effects to plummet, and even cause anti-damage toxins.

Shi Yinghu's so-called potion blending is to increase the effectiveness of potions by 20% through the pharmacist's more powerful potions in actual combat, and reduce the rejection and load of potions by professionals. Many professional grandmasters and masters, because they use a lot of potions, often have the ability to mix potions, for them this is just an empirical auxiliary ability, but for low- and middle-level professionals, the ability to mix potions can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness and continuation ability of the entire team.

"You go to the pharmacy now, mix out the life potion and endurance potion, and then participate in the actual combat assessment, as long as your information is true, I am in charge and allow you to join the Sword and Shield Brotherhood as a first-order professional. ”

"Well, thank you. Shi Yinghu nodded and said indifferently.

"You're welcome, maybe everyone will be colleagues in the future. The paladin girl stood up and shook Shi Yinghu's hand, because of the calm and indifferent temperament of the man in front of her, she already believed in his strength seven or eight points in her heart, so she said.

After Shi Yinghu left, the paladin girl waved her hand, summoned a female assassin with short hair, and whispered to her, "Chara, help me keep an eye on that Kate Brian, if he does pass the test, we must pull him into our team." ”

"Aretta, a low-level pharmacist, as for that much, don't you care so much, is she handsome?" said this, the short-haired assassin girl's eyes lit up, which made Aretta roll her eyes.

"He said that he can mix potions, and this ability is a great improvement for the team's actual combat ability, and if he has enough ability to protect himself, then we must fight for talents like this. ”

"Understood, when necessary, I will show the charm of the first beautiful assassin of my brotherhood, so that he will obediently surrender, ahhahahahaha. The short-haired girl laughed and walked out, and Aretta looked at her friend's back, how to look at it and feel uneasy, however, the follow-up professionals had already come in, and she could only continue to complete the registration work in hand first.

If it was at the headquarters of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, it would naturally be a full-time civilian to do such a job, but now in Dakrim, there are fewer people in the regiment who can do civilian work, so Aletta can only do these tedious tasks by herself.

About twenty minutes later, the short-haired girl Chara came back a little stupidly, and seeing her appearance, the paladin girl Aretta was a little anxious: "What about the person I told you to star?

Hearing her friend's words, Chara reacted, and she said with a strange look: "It's passed, but it's ......."

"It's good to pass, with a pharmacist who is good at potion blending, the team's ability to continue fighting will be improved a lot, but what?"

"But Uncle Eco is crazy, and he soaks his head in the pot of medicine, and although I saved him, he is still lying in the infirmary. ”

"Huh?"

At this moment, Shi Yinghu, who was in the trial ground, he didn't know what a huge impact his low-level potion rate had brought to the pharmacist Ike, in fact, he still suppressed his own drug rate and deliberately did less.

Shi Yinghu consciously pressed the success rate of the potion to the normal level, but he forgot what the success rate of the same medicine was, so it was only slightly lower than his usual drug rate.

On the proving ground, a bald paladin with a strong physique stood opposite and said, "Summoning your strongest necromantic summon, you have a chance to strike three times, and if I am not injured after three blows, you can get out." ”

The profession of paladin is actually relatively open-minded and tolerant, but the paladin will instinctively hate and reject the profession of necromancer, even if both sides stand on the side of the lower world.

Holy light and necromantic magic are originally two forces that oppose conflict.

However, what is interesting is that the actual combat ability of these two professions combined is recognized as the strongest.

"So strict?" Shi Yinghu looked up and down at the bald paladin in front of him, Shi Yinghu was keenly aware of his disgust for himself, coupled with his hairstyle, which evoked some not-so-good memories and worries for Shi Yinghu, so the wizard raised his eyebrows and threw out the three-headed hellhound that was sleeping in his sleeve.

With a thud, it smashed into the center of the proving ground, opposite the bald paladin.

Looking at the stupid and cute thing in front of him who was not even bigger than a mouse, almost all the people around him who participated in the assessment laughed, only a few of the more experienced professionals stared at the three heads of Xiaopang thoughtfully, and did not laugh easily.

"Haha, are you kidding Lao Tzu? There is no blood stone demon, no clay stone demon, throwing out such a deformed puppy?" said the bald paladin as he walked over. However, despite the mockery in his mouth, as the elite of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood, this paladin still held the sword and shield in both hands, cautiously approaching and staring at the little fat dog on the ground.

However, his actions naturally brought out a little hostility, and the little fat who had just been a little sober shook his head, and opened his eyes sleepily, but he didn't see his master, but saw a bald man with a huge ugly appearance, holding a weapon and walking towards him step by step......

"Woo Woo!"

Not all biting dogs don't bark, especially the three-headed dog of hell, its roar is full of terrifying deterrent power that shocks people's souls, and suddenly it burns with fire, and then there is a flash of blazing red fire, and when the bald paladin reacts, he has been overwhelmed by a terrifying three-headed demon dog.

The furious three-headed dog of hell is surrounded by flames, and just by touching it, the heat is unbearable.

What's more, the bald man only felt that the three-headed dog of hell staring at him in front of him was full of violent killing intent, and he really wanted to eat himself directly!

"Ha, what a ridiculously strong young man, although he is only a first-order necromancer at the rank, but just this hell demon dog is enough to make him a strong among young people, not to mention that he can also learn pharmacy, and he is extremely talented. On the fourth floor of the building on one side of the proving ground, two elderly people were watching the drama below through the window.

"I'm arrogant and can't be suppressed. But young people, especially those who have the ability, are mostly like this. What's more, this young man is very smart and ambitious, obviously has a very outstanding talent as a pharmacist, but he knows that he will not distract himself before being promoted to a legend, and focus on his own profession, such self-control is far beyond you and me back then. In the middle of the building, two old men of the Sword and Shield Brotherhood were talking, talking, reminiscing about their own days.
