Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Deep Blue Port, located in the coastal area of Morocco, is the front station of the Omis continent to the Sea Tribe, a town of only 500,000 people, with an area of less than 1,000 square kilometers, half of the merchants here trade with the Sea Tribe, and there are Sea Tribes merchants who pass here, but the tax of the Deep Blue Port can be worth the tax of a large city.
There's always a lot of money and violence here, and there's a lot of fighting for a place to hire a job.
Eighty years ago, there was a great war between humans and the Sea Clan, and the Sea Tribe's strength was many times greater than the combined strength of the various human empires, and their land disadvantage was that they could not live on dry land for long periods of time, and in that war, the inhabitants of the Deep Blue Harbor Land were almost slaughtered.
And the Sea Clan army also drove straight in, straight to the depths of the continent, but unfortunately, at this time, the defects of the Sea Clan army were also reflected, the reserve force could not keep up, and the materials could not keep up with the first time.
At that time, the reason why the Sea Tribes launched a great war was because there were many Sea Tribes on land who did not have land and materials, and in the long-term trade with humans, they were always blackmailed by unscrupulous merchants, so that almost all the Sea Tribes were dissatisfied with humans and the Omis Continent, and under the continuous deterioration of relations, the Sea Tribes finally made a killing move, and no one was able to get any benefits from that war, and in the following decades, the relationship between the two sides fell to a freezing point.
It wasn't until thirty years ago that they gradually began to contact again, trying to do business, but until now, it has not been completely freed, and there are still many people who still hate the Sea Clan, especially those old men, most of them have experienced the battle of the Sea Clan, and they have an unforgettable hatred for the Sea Clan.
However, the Sea Clan also has a lot of land materials that are not available on land, driven by huge interests, and the human kingdom is no longer so resistant to the Sea Tribe's business dealings, but both sides are secretly guarding against each other, in case the other party gives them a little bit of it.
"That's a lot of people!"
Germanra and the other Green Goblins exclaimed in amazement, they couldn't see so many people in the Deserted Sand Castle, and most of them worked in and out of the city, and there were few shops, and their amazement still drew the eyes of the people around them: "Hillbilly ......"
Li Hengxin also looked at this small city in surprise, the prosperity of the place here is in stark inverse proportion to the area here, and it is much more prosperous than the old city of the imperial capital.
"Coastal cities are just popular." Li Hengxin secretly said in his heart, it seems that his city should also start carrying out business activities.
"We're going to get you here, and it's up to you." Alkaz said, and he and Asdajia teamed up to use spatial teleportation to send their hundreds-dozen people outside the Deep Blue Harbor City in an instant.
"Got it, it's okay, you can go back first." Li Hengxin waved his hand and said.
"Remember to bring us the sea stone back, we'll all be waiting." Alkaz reminded again.
Li Hengxin has already been tired of listening to it in the past three days, and Alkaz has to remind himself if he has something to do.
"If you say it again, I'll really forget! Li Hengxin issued an expulsion order, and this time Alkaz and Asdajia were surprisingly obedient and disappeared in front of their eyes in an instant.
More than 100 orcs are still very conspicuous when they walk on the street, especially when they are dressed so neatly, and they are unified, neat, and functional, first-class in quality, and each orc is riding a monster under the seat.
Most people will take the initiative to get out of the way, and a few will be directly pushed away by the big bull and others without a long eye.
"Head, where are we going now?" asked the dragon, turning his head.
Li Hengxin thought for a moment: "Let's go to the Mercenary Guild first, there should be a mission we need there." In fact, he didn't know much about these himself.
But when they arrived at the Mercenary Guild Place, the entire hall of the Guild Hall was empty, with only a few or two people sleeping on their chairs, and one attendant dozing off on the counter.
Knock Knock Knock -
"Yes...... President: I just ...... What's the matter with you?"
The attendant was awakened by a knocking sound, and hurriedly looked at Li Hengxin.
"We want to take on the task." Li Hengxin said.
"Yes, pay 100 gold coins first." The attendant said casually, Li Hengxin casually handed over a hundred gold coins, and the attendant threw a small sign to Li Hengxin: "Leave your contact information, we will notify you if there is a task, or you can come to the guild every once in a while to take a look, okay, you can go back."
"That's it?" Li Hengxin opened his mouth wide, in his impression, it should be that they paid the money, and then there would be a row of any of them to take out and choose tasks for them, he had also been to the mercenary guild once or twice when he was in the imperial capital of Ressad, and it was run like this, and the mercenary guild of the imperial capital of Resard was hundreds of times more lively than here.
On the other hand, except for the mercenaries who came to the hall to sleep lazily, there was no one else at all, and the attendants in charge of the reception were also so lazy.
"That's all." The attendant yawned casually, then fell down again.
It seems that the plan is a little off, Li Hengxin is not interested in waiting here for three or five days.
"Little brother, help me check if there are any tasks......" Li Hengxin pushed the attendant and stuffed a few gold coins into the attendant's hand.
The attendant raised his head slightly, looked at a few gold coins on the ground in his hand, put it away and lay down again, Li Hengxin calmly threw a few more coins into the attendant's hand, and at this time the attendant raised his head lazily.
"What kind of mission do you want?"
"You can show us what kind of task it is, we want to pick one." Li Hengxin said with a smile, it is rare for him to be so compromised by a big lord, and it is estimated that he will tear this attendant apart if he changes the ground.
The squire pursed his lips and took out a notebook: "Our mercenary guild also stipulates that you can't directly show the mercenaries the tasks, only if you tell what kind of tasks you need, we will check whether you want to do it again."
"Is there a mission to escort the Sea Clan caravan?"
"Nope." Chamberlain.
"Is there an escort to the Sea Clan to do business with the caravan mission?"
"Neither."
"Is there anyone who wants to go to the Sea Clan and want a human protection mission?"
"Still not."
The corners of Li Hengxindi's mouth were already twitching a little, and he grabbed a handful of gold coins from his money bag: "You should find me a mission that can go to the Sea Clan!"
The attendant's eyes were glazed when he looked at the handful of gold coins, but did he dare to reach out while swallowing his saliva.
Li Hengxin really didn't have time to rub shoulders with his attendants, so he pulled over the book and looked through it himself, but after reading it for a long time, there were only a few lowest-level tasks in the book, looking for people, animals, and Warcraft.
"What's the matter with you guys!" Li Hengxin threw the notebook in front of the attendant, and the table was directly smashed out of a big hole, so frightened that the attendant almost fell to the ground: "If you can't get a task that I am satisfied with today, I will dismantle your mercenary guild."
The attendant strengthened his courage a little, and reluctantly stood in front of Li Hengxin with his heart: "Boy, which mercenary group of yours dares to come to our mercenary guild to make trouble, be careful to make you a black mercenary group!"
"If you don't give me an explanation...... I'll let the Mercenary Guild turn into ruins now!" Li Hengxin warned gloomily while holding the squire's lichen collar.
"Who are you?" The attendant was also a little scared, it seemed that Li Hengxin and the others were not good men and women, if they were allowed to do anything here, he would not be able to eat and walk around.
"If you take my money, you will do something for me, no one can ask me for money and land for nothing.
"What a big breath!"
A heroic voice came from behind, Li Hengxin turned his head to look, a two-meter tall man was standing behind him, his head was full of messy white hair, his face was crossed, his eyes were staring at Li Hengxin and the others.
"Let people go for me!" Dahan said to Li Hengxin, and everyone's eardrums were a little swollen.
"Give it back to you!"
Li Hengxin mentioned the attendant and threw the entourage towards the big man, he used the ground to be soft, and wanted to test the bottom of the big man.
When Dahan saw Li Hengxin's attendant fall over hard, he naturally reached out to catch the attendant, but when the attendant touched his hands, his hands suddenly shook, and the attendant fell to the ground with an oops.
He looked at Li Hengxin with disbelief on his face, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple, your mercenary guild has collected my money, and you will arrange a satisfactory task for us." Li Hengxin said arrogantly.
"Pillay, how much money you took him, give him back double." The big man turned his head to look at the attendant beside him and hummed.
"Wait, since I took out the money, I have no intention of coming it back." Li Hengxin stopped the attendant named Pillay.
The big man frowned: "Are you here to find a fault!?"
"Whoever has the kung fu to find trouble, you are the first to trick me first." Li Hengxin said lightly, the cold light in his eyes shot directly at Pillay.
The big man turned his head to look at Pillay, Pillay could only whisper what had happened just now, how did he know that Li Hengxin and the others were so stubborn, he just wanted to collect a little personal profit, and the general mercenary group would take into account the influence of their mercenary guild.
Are you going to the Sea Clan?" Dahan looked at Li Hengxin and the others suspiciously, but he was shocked in his heart, when did such a mercenary group appear on the Ormis Continent, why didn't he receive the slightest rumor.
Dahan suddenly guessed, what Li Hengxin's team was going to do when he entered the Sea Clan.It seems that they are coming to the Deep Blue Harbor for the first time, and they don't seem to be familiar with the Deep Blue Harbor.
"You just have to answer me, can you give me a mission?"
"......" The big man muttered for a while: "In three days, there is a big caravan going to Atlantis City, the Sea Clan, but now there are more than five mercenary teams competing for the opportunity to escort that mission, I can arrange for you to join that competition, as for whether you can grab that task, it depends on your own ability."
"Well, as long as you put us in, as for the land contention, it's up to us."
"I'm Hansen Jerry, the head of this mercenary guild, you can call me Hansen."
"You can call me Lee, and when we return from the Sea Clan, I think I'll tell you the name of my land." Li Hengxin smiled faintly.
Hansen thought to himself, searching his memory, and didn't seem to find any character about Li Di.
"As compensation, I will solve the problem of accommodation for you for these two days." Hansen said.
"This is the reward." Li Hengxin threw a bag of several hundred gold coins into Han Sen's hand: Can you tell us, why don't you have a task here?"
"The merchants of the Deep Blue Harbor will not trust our mercenary guild land, they will only believe in the truly powerful mercenary group. Hansen said: "However, the mercenary group selected through the strength of the confrontation, there will be a lot of losses every time, and there is no loss of one person after a task when there is a land, but there is a loss when fighting for the mission land, but everyone is attracted by the high task reward here, so that more and more mercenary groups come here and carry out a brutal task competition."
"It's a bit of a problem, it looks like you can't beat all the participating mercenary teams in one day." Li Hengxin said with regret.
"Please don't be so optimistic, your team may be able to finish in the top ten, but it may not be a sure victory. Be careful, I want you to tell me your name when you come back." Hansen said remindedly.
"As you wish." LI Hengxin.
"Pillay, you take them to the room where the hall is free." Hansen said.
"President, they just ......"
The attendant named Pillay was obviously still nostalgic for Li Hengxin, and looked at Han Sen hesitantly.
"Don't talk nonsense, let you go, you will go, and come back to you to settle accounts for your private interests." Hansen.
Li Hengxin took two steps, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Hansen: "Mr. Hansen, if you have time, it's best to soak in ice water, it's good for your body, especially your hands."
Han Sen was surprised, and then he realized that his hands seemed to be a little numb, originally thought that it was just because of the shock just now, but he didn't expect that it was the dark energy of the other party, and he felt even more strange in his heart, what kind of martial arts would have such an effect.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I will send the information of each mercenary group to your room later." Hansen kept his face calm, but his heart was secretly shocked, and at the same time, he had the idea of finding out the identity of the other party, but he was afraid of violating the other party's taboo.
After Pillay's introduction, this mercenary guild used to be crowded when it was at its peak in the past, and all mercenary groups flocked to it, and the mercenary guild also provided accommodation for the mercenary group in the next task, or provided a powerful mercenary group.
This hall is not small, it is not smaller than the student dormitory where Li Hengxin used to teach in the university, and under such a house structure, it is more generous, enough to accommodate thousands of mercenaries, which can also show how prosperous this mercenary guild was in its heyday, and compared to now, it is really a heaven and an underground.
Puff -
A drunken old man hit Li Hengxindi, and then fell to the ground suddenly, and he didn't get up for a long time.
"Dead old man, you're here again to bump into the guests, get out of the way, don't get in the way." Pillay shouted loudly and lifted the old man's body with his feet.
Li Hengxin squatted down and looked at the old man: "Uncle, are you very short of wine money?"
The drunk old man opened his drunken eyes, glanced at Li Hengxin, and closed them again: "I don't know what you said."
"Do you want to hand it over yourself or do you want me to do it?" Li Hengxin asked with a smile.
The drunk old man staggered to his feet: "What did you say...... I don't know what you're talking about...... ...... vomit"
