The passage of time, the impermanence of fate, the change of history, the change of the times, there has never been one thing, and no one has ever been able to stand on top of the world.

Divine Domain City has a long history, and it was a prominent city in ancient times. But nowadays, it is only active in the twists and turns of the mythological story of the bard.

Of course, the biggest reason for this situation is that it is inaccessible. Otherwise, from the majesty of this great city, you can still faintly see the magnificence of the year.

Strictly speaking, the area of this Divine Domain City under the Mountain of the Gods is not very large, and if you make a horizontal comparison on the Epic Continent, it will probably be able to rank among the top ten.

However, for the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, which has just started and is still in the embryonic stage of development, it is an excellent location.

With the dense jungle as a natural barrier, the tall and solid walls that can withstand the onslaught of war behemoths, the protection of natural allies of the dwarves and elves, the difficult terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the various resources at hand, all of this can only be described in two words.

The next morning, Oss walked around in the morning light and told Barber the details about the city and the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.

The city is divided into two parts, the Upper City and the Lower City. The Uptown is built along the mountain, where dwarves and elves live, and is off-limits to people without permission. And Xiacheng District is the residence of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.

Xiacheng is this flat area within the city, which is divided into four districts: southeast, northwest, and northwest.

The West End is an area that accepts newcomers and provides training venues. The southern district was a residential area where the chamber of commerce escorted and caravans went out to trade. The East District is an industrial area and the core area of the entire Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, where breweries and tobacco factories are built. The North District is a military district, where all the combat units of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce except for the escort are stationed, and the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce also live here.

It's early spring, and outside a courtyard in the North District, a row of peach trees sprouts and small pink flowers. It's pink, and it's cute.

Passing through the winding path by the row of peach trees, Oss led Barber, followed by Ares, to the gate of the courtyard.

Without knocking, he pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard.

The courtyard is not a pavilion, but a simple three-room stone house, with a tall sand tree growing in the middle of the courtyard. At this time, under the tree, there was an old man with white hair lying on a rocking chair, swaying comfortably.

On the right-hand side of the rocking chair, there is a small low table within reach, on which is placed a bottle of "beast blood" wine that has been opened, and next to the bottle is a small porcelain cup, and there is half a glass of clear and transparent wine in the small porcelain cup.

Next to the small porcelain cup was a pack of "knight" cigarettes that had been opened and a flint, while the silver-haired old man was holding a cigarette with smoke in his left hand.

The old man shaking the chaise longue raised his left hand, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, took a beautiful puff, then pursed his lips and spit out a perfectly round smoke ring with a sigh.

The old man had his eyes closed, but as if he could see, he smiled "hehe" after the smoke ring was exhaled, and his expression was very proud. Then he stretched out his right hand and picked up the small porcelain cup, although his body was constantly shaking with the chaise longue, but the old man still sent the rim of the small porcelain cup to his mouth very accurately and quickly.

"Slippery"

After drinking the wine in the small porcelain cup in an extremely chic manner, the old man bared his teeth and let out a sigh of relief. Then the old man placed the porcelain cup heavily on the low table and pointed at the porcelain cup with his right index finger.

"It's full for Lao Tzu, and I don't know how to knock on the door when I come in, it's not polite. ”

The tone is extremely arrogant, and it smells like an old hooligan.

Oss looked at the old man with a playful smile, and Ares also stood still. But Barber beside them was stunned on the spot at the moment, as if he had been struck by lightning.

That year, at the age of seventeen, Barber joined the old man's mercenary group. After two prayers, he became the old man's personal bodyguard.

That year, Bobble was twenty years old, and the old man led them to the pinnacle of the Forest of Chaos.

That year, when Barber was twenty-one years old, the old man established a mercenary union and began to build the mercenary city.

That year, when Bobble was twenty-three years old, the old man said that the Forest of Chaos would be a paradise for mercenaries and a safe haven for all outcasts.

That year, when Barber was twenty-four years old, the old man led the mercenary guild and shouted the once widely circulated sentence to the epic continent, the weak are the cornerstone of this world.

Then in the same year, the old man monopolized the magic crystal business in the Forest of Chaos, and all the chambers of commerce on the Epic Continent had to look up to him.

So after half a prayer, the Holy Empire and the Titan Empire began a holy war, but their target was not each other, but the old man's mercenary group. Some of the ambitious and self-interested members of the mercenary union also rebelled at the same time, and the old man and his mercenary group were embattled.

In the end, the old man's mercenary group disappeared, and the old man also fell into the depths of the forest of chaos in that war, in front of many people.

Although the old man at this time is no longer as majestic as he was back then, although the old man is no longer as glamorous as he was back then, when Bobble saw this familiar face again, Bobble burst into tears instantly.

The old man's image at the moment is like a pleasure-hungry, unsparing old rascal, he is lying on the recliner, but he is still crossed on Erlang's legs, and he is so coquettish.

But none of this can change the old man's lofty status in Barber's heart, because the old man's name is Abby, the former mercenary king Abby.

"Captain"

Bobble's voice was a little shaky because of his excitement, and his voice was a little dazed because of disbelief.

But when he cried out, Bobble was convinced that it was not a dream, and at this moment, a thought crossed Barber's mind, a thought that made him suddenly clear.

He had felt that things were too fantastical and coincidental before, why could the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce believe in himself so much and absorb himself without going through a strict review. Why are all the concepts of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce so consistent with His Excellency Abby back then?

It turned out that the president of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce was none other than the mercenary Wang Abby, the old man in front of them who all thought was dead.

It turns out that the truth of the matter is so simple, and so exciting.

Bobble had a lot of thoughts at this moment, and he had imagined that he would gallop through the Forest of Chaos under the old man's leadership again, and once again continue to move towards that great goal.

But the old man gave him a resounding slap in the face with reality.

"What? There are outsiders. ”

The old man opened his eyes in a hurry, and when he saw the three people in front of him clearly, the old man hurriedly got up. But he forgot that the chaise longue under him was shaking, and he didn't pay attention to it and directly mixed himself up.

The old man rolled directly on the ground twice before stopping, and the cigarette in his hand was poking his lips as he rolled. The old man jumped to his feet and rubbed his lips vigorously with both hands.

After rubbing it twice, the old man remembered to maintain his image, so he immediately stopped his movements and put on a solemn posture, but a charred black circular mark on the corner of his mouth, which made him look very funny.

"Ahem, that... You're back. ”

The old man opened his mouth awkwardly, but he touched the burns at the corners of his mouth, and he grinned a little. Then he turned his head to look at Bobble, who was already frozen, and he was angry.

"Bobble, I remember you used to be a very sensible young man, but now why is it getting more and more frizzy, and you don't know how to tell me when you come to me. The old man immediately reprimanded Bobble on the spot.

Barber looked aggrieved, "Captain..."

"What's your name, aren't you right?" the old man found a little of what he had felt back then, and interrupted Bobble's words as he prepared to plead.

Bobble shut up and just stood there with his head bowed like a child who had made a mistake. At this time, the ambition that had just emerged in his heart was held down by the old man, and he could no longer move.

"Well, this is a stable look, you are not small, but you can't be like a child when you have nothing to do. The old man said with a sigh of clarity, and as he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Bobble lightly on the top of his head.

Oss was almost unable to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shook, and his body trembled as he stood to the side. Ares, who was not smiling, also pulled the corners of his mouth, which was already his biggest smile.

I was tricked by this kid again.

His Excellency Abby, the former mercenary king, subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth that was still a little hot and painful, maintained a solemn look, and continued to say to Bobble: "Follow President Oss well, your future is limitless." Okay, you see me too, you go and rest first, someone will arrange the following things for you. ”

"Hmm, isn't the president of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce you?" asked Barber, a little puzzled.

"It's a fart... Ahem, it's not me, it's Os. The old man almost burst into foul language.

Oss finally couldn't hold back a smile with difficulty, "Don't listen to President Abby's nonsense, the actual person in charge of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is him." ”

The old man was anxious when he heard this, and he didn't want to be imaged. "Hey, I said at the beginning, you are the president, and I will be responsible for helping you contact your former subordinates, why don't you admit it now. ”

Oss said solemnly: "Then you have no objection to me making you the president." ”

The old man blew his beard and glared: "Fart, that's when you said that if you become the president, you can have free cigarettes and alcohol, and Lao Tzu should be." ”

"The president is not very good, he can enjoy it and have face. ”

"Then why don't you do it?"

Oss and the old man quarreled with each other, and they almost rolled up their sleeves and fought. Ares sent Bobble out of the courtyard with a confused expression.

Walking out of the courtyard, Barber could still hear the two arguing behind him.

"When your uncle is the president, Lao Tzu is a lot older, how can he have the energy to take care of such a big mess. ”

"You're scared. ”

"Let your mother's fart, Lao Tzu will be afraid? When I was king in the Forest of Chaos, you kid hadn't been born yet. ”

"Oh, I see, you're going to get a salary increase again, aren't you?"

Apparently Oss was right, and there was a moment of silence in the courtyard.

"If it can go up, then I'll keep doing it. ”

"I'm still saving your life. ”

"I haven't thanked you already. ”

There was a long silence again, and then Os's helpless voice rang out. "How much?"

"Twice as much as tobacco and alcohol!"
