Chapter 155: Ancient Ruins (1)
"MD, I've been really depressed lately, let's talk about this small city of Sale, there are so many strong people recently, how can we live, they are strong, but they can't bully people like this!" a mercenary not far from Matt grumbled as he took a sip of coarse wine.
"Shhh
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Aren't they stronger than me? I can one day be as strong as them, even stronger than them," said the slightly drunk mercenary who broke free from the old mercenary.
That drunken mercenary was a fifth-level mercenary, and any swordsman above level seventh, could kill him in an instant, which was really beyond his strength.
"Yes, you're stronger than them, but you're no match for them right now," the older mercenary said
"Alas, Kerela, do you know why those strong men have suddenly come to us!" the other mercenary asked, holding the older mercenary
"Hey, you don't know!" said the elder mercenary named Kairela, who deliberately raised his voice, and said after seeing that the two friends seemed to be a little impatient. I heard that it was the ancient ruins that were discovered in the back mountain, so many mainland powerhouses rushed here when they heard the news, the Light Holy See, the Dark Council, and the Mercenary Union, the Magician Union, the Swordsman Union, the powerful forces of these continents have sent people, and there are also some scattered powerhouses, even Viscount Kraft in our small city of Salee has organized a group of people, who want to try their luck in the back mountain, and are still recruiting mercenaries?
"Die," another mercenary patted Kerella and said, "This kind of place is also where our people go, that's not looking for death"
He's a little self-aware
"Haha, that's it, that's it" The slightly drunk mercenary next to him also responded.
Matt, on the other hand, listened to all the conversations of the three of them, and finally understood the whole story, and at the same time became interested in this ancient ruin, and secretly decided to take a look, but in order to hide, Matt decided to find the Viscount of Kraft.
Matt drops ten gold coins. Although the fruit wine of the elven clan is really very different from the facts, but with this news, Matt also thinks that it is worth ten gold coins.
Looking at the ten gold coins that Matt had dropped, and the glass of elf fruit wine that had not been touched at all, Sao Sanniang, who had been sitting there paying attention to Matt, suddenly had a light in her eyes and confirmed her thoughts again.
"It's really a beautiful boy with a lot of gold, and it's very tasteful, I like it" Sao Sanniang secretly muttered: "I want to see how you escape from my palm"
Seeing Matt leaving, Sao Sanniang called the little guy on the side and muttered a few words in her ear, the little guy nodded and hurriedly retreated.
"Oh, Sao Sanniang looks like she really likes it" The mercenary on the side saw Sao Sanniang's appearance and hurriedly laughed.
"Hmph, there's really no one I can't get my eye on" Sao Sanniang looked at the mercenary and said disdainfully, which means that you and I really don't like it.
"Haha" Suddenly, there was a cheer in the mercenary bar.
Matt didn't go to Viscount Kraft immediately, but first found an inn, and then dressed up, of course, a little down-and-out, and then went to the mercenary union to prepare to receive the mission issued by Viscount Kraft.
And what Matt didn't know was that after he came out of the mercenary bar, there were always a few people quietly following him, and even after he dressed up, he recognized him at a glance, but fortunately, as for the magic mask used by Matt, they didn't have the ability to see it, and the people who followed him followed him until the mercenary union, and only left after seeing Matt accept Viscount Kraft's task.
After Matt took over the task issued by Viscount Kraft in the mercenary union in Liu Chen's name, soon, someone from Viscount Kraft's mansion took Matt to the designated place, although Viscount Kraft did not refuse, but he also divided the mercenaries into three, six, nine and so on, like Matt, the lowest mercenary who only had the strength of a fourth-level swordsman, was the lowest, living in the simplest room and using the simplest food.
There are also more than a dozen mercenaries living with Matt, and they are all third- and fourth-level swordsmen, who want to try their luck at the ancient ruins, but their strength is too poor, so they thought of coming here, everyone.
Viscount Kraft seemed to be determined to get something from this ancient ruins? Not only did he spend a lot of money and invite so many mercenaries for them to eat and drink, but at the same time, he also trained these mercenaries every day, just like in the army, and the next morning, Matt and the others were called up early.
In the wide training ground, Matt, the lowest mercenary, was placed in the first phalanx, and it was obvious that he was the role of cannon fodder.
Everyone stood still, and at this time, a person hurriedly walked up, chattered a few words in the trainer's ear, only to see the trainer nodded, and then came to Matt and their square shouted, "Liu Chen, come out"
"Hmm!" Matt didn't expect that he was looking for himself, and hurriedly walked out.
"Someone is looking for you, you don't have to be here," said the trainer, looking at Matt with a very contradictory look, which seemed to be interesting envy and a hint of disdain.
"Someone's looking for me!" Matt wondered, who would be looking for him here?
"Excuse me, who's looking for me!" asked Matt.
"Hey, hey, you're a good boy, come with me!" the third lady is waiting for you?" the trainer didn't speak, and the man next to him smiled at Matt and said with envy.
"Third Lady!"
"Okay, don't talk about it, come with me," he said, ignoring Matt, pulling him over and leaving.
......
"Hey, hey, kid Liu Chen, you will be developed in the future, and you will have to take care of the eldest brother when the time comes, and say a few more kind words to the third lady" On the way there, the man, who didn't know who it was, said to Matt.
"Well, excuse me, who are the third lady you are talking about?" Ma asked after a decision.
"Third Madame, you don't even know who the Third Madam is!" the middle-aged man looked at Matt and said incredulously.
Then the middle-aged man began to explain to Matt, and then Matt knew that the so-called third lady was the sassy Sanniang that Matt saw in the mercenary bar, Matt never thought that she actually sent someone to investigate herself, but that's fine, it seems, she is quite powerful, maybe she can help herself this time.
Soon, Matt is taken to a large apartment, which from a distance looks very old, not an ordinary building.
Soon, Matt was taken to Sao Sanniang.
"Haha, little handsome guy, how about it, we met again, I didn't expect it, you are young, your ambition is really not small, but you are also interested in the ancient ruins, you know, it is the focus of the big forces" Sao Sanniang drank red wine while smiling at Matt and said, every word and deed revealed a charming atmosphere, Matt also had to admit that he was really a stunner.
"I don't know what the third lady is looking for me!" Matt had already replied at this time, and the third lady knew herself, so naturally there was no need to pretend anymore.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that the first time I saw you, I had a special feeling" The third lady said with a smile, and then saw Matt's face was a little embarrassed, and quickly said, "Oh, no, don't be wrong, I'm just talking about a special feeling, not that feeling, I'm much older than you, to you, I always feel like a brother, in fact, I think it's very strange"
"How I feel about my brother!" Matt was finally relieved, as long as it wasn't that aspect.
"Yes, that's right, it's just the feeling of being a little brother" Suddenly the third lady seemed to remember something? said excitedly, "Otherwise, you can recognize me as your sister! In the future, you don't have to be a mercenary, just with me, it's better than you to be a mercenary."
Looking at the expectant eyes of the third lady, Matt didn't know how to answer for a while, refused, and was afraid of hurting the poor woman in front of him, from her eyes, Matt saw a kind of melancholy and sadness, but agreed, and Matt couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Maybe it was because of Matt's embarrassment, the third lady smiled and said, "Okay, don't be in a hurry to answer me, you can eat with me later, and you don't have to go to that training ground."
"But I want to go and see the ancient ruins," Matt said without giving the third lady any face.
Looking at Matt with a resolute face, the third lady paused, then sighed and continued, "You said how good it is to be here with me, you must go to that ancient ruin, but if you really want to go, I will go to Viscount Kaf when the time comes, and let him take you with him, there are those strong people around him, if you pay attention to it, you will not die."
Matt knew that the third lady really cared about her, and he didn't say anything, just said "thank you"
"Hehe, okay, then let's have breakfast together! You're the first man to eat with me since my husband died, haha" The third lady said with a smile.
......
In this way, Matt lived in the third lady's house for three days, and for three days, Matt communicated with the third lady every day, and Matt found from the bottom of his heart that this third lady was indeed not as coquettish as she showed and she was trying her best to hide her heart, maybe only in Matt's face he could show a little.
In the past three days, Matt has cultivated the Cold Ice Fighting Qi during the day, and has practiced the Mixed Yuan Technique and Spiritual Power Technique at night, and the time has been very real.
"Liu Chen, are you up? Sister is here" Early in the morning, Matt hadn't woken up yet, and the third lady had already come to Matt's door. Although Matt didn't call her sister, it seems that she has identified Matt's younger brother, and no matter what time it is, he calls himself a sister in front of Matt.
"Squeak" The door opened, and Matt was already fully dressed: "Is there something wrong?"
"Hehe, didn't you say that you were going to explore the ancient ruins? I will take you to meet Viscount Kaf today, I heard that he is going to leave in the next few days, I would like to ask him to take care of you."
"Oh, the Ancient Ruins are about to open!" asked Matt curiously.
"Haha, my brother is really smart, yes, let's go" The third lady smiled.
With Matt and a cart of gifts, the Third Lady came to Viscount Carf's mansion.
Matt This is the first time he has met Viscount Kraft, but, in the past few days, Matt has already known his person, he is not like ordinary nobles, drunk and gold-obsessed, but very talented, and at the same time clean and self-conscious, therefore, he is very powerful here, and he is also very powerful.
"Ah, I said Third Madame, what kind of wind is it today, blowing you to my mansion!" said Viscount Kaf, with a smile.
"Hehe, Lord Viscount, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace" The third lady regained her bewitching expression.
"Oh, there's something I can do for the Third Lady, I'll do my best," said Viscount Kraft with a smile.
"Hehe, Lord Viscount said with a smile" The third lady smiled, then turned her head and said to Matt, "Liu Chen, don't you come and see Lord Viscount yet"
"I've seen Lord Viscount!" Matt hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"This is!"
"Oh, this is a younger brother I just recognized," said the third lady with a smile.
"Oh, that's good news," laughed Viscount Kraft.
"Hehe, where, my younger brother, he is just naughty, and he is also very curious about the ancient ruins, and wants to explore, but his strength is really not very good, what about me? I hope to let him follow you, Lord Viscount, so that you can take care of him" The third lady smiled.
"Oh, what should I be, no questions," said Viscount Kraft, who looked at Matt and didn't care, with a smile.
"Okay, that's great," the third lady smiled, "Then I'll thank you, Lord Viscount."
"Well, let him come early the day after tomorrow, and we'll go the day after tomorrow," said Viscount Caff.
"Row"
"Thank you, Viscount Kraft," Matt said to Viscount Kraft as well.
"Hehe, no thanks, you are the younger brother of the third lady, naturally my younger brother"
Looking at the figure of the third lady and the horse leaving, Viscount Kraft didn't care, and at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, wrapped all over, and he couldn't see anything.
Seeing that figure, Viscount Kraft was also very surprised, and said respectfully, "My lord, why did you come out?"
"Hehe, Kraft, this one named Liu Chen is unusual!" said the figure in a hoarse voice.
"Not ordinary!" Hearing this evaluation, Viscount Kraft was taken aback, what identity and strength this figure had, he couldn't be clearer, and at the same time looked at Matt again and their departing figures.
"Excuse me, my lord, what's so unusual about this Liu Chen!" Kraft asked.
"Hehe, the strength of the sword master, he has the strength of the sword master at a young age, and it seems that he has hidden his identity"
"What, the strength of the sword master, he is not more than twenty years old."
"You need to pay attention to this person, maybe he can give you unexpected help," the mysterious figure said after a moment's thought.
"Yes"
