Chapter 5: The Twilight Zone
This is the largest town in the Kingdom of Locke, a kingdom of the Northern Moon Empire - called Twilight.
Twilight, the setting sun, the last light before nightfall.
When the sun sets, the sky is dyed blood red by the setting sun, and the peach-colored clouds gradually become deeper as the sun sets, like blood that is about to flow out, and gradually becomes dull and deep due to long exposure to the air.
The last touch of sunset in the western sky has melted into the dark twilight, the sky is gradually darkening, the surrounding mountains, showing the outline of the blue color, the twilight is getting thicker, and the earth is chaotic and confused.
You may not have heard of Locke Kingdom, but in Twilight, as long as you ask a mercenary, he will show you the way.
That's right, the Twilight Zone is so famous not because of its unique twilight view, but because it is a city of mercenaries, and it is the base camp of all mercenaries.
Mercenaries, a profession that lives with blood on the edge of the knife, most of them are civilians, there is no good **, there is no capital to learn magic, in order to live they choose to become a mercenary. After registering as a mercenary in the Mercenary Guild, accept tasks to earn mission rewards.
Behind every mission there are unpredictable dangers, the greater the so-called danger, the greater the opportunity, for the sake of high rewards, brave mercenaries often accept tasks that seem to be life-threatening.
Over time, injuries, bleeding and even death are something that mercenaries have to face every day.
Twilight is the last light before nightfall, that is, the last hope before darkness, in the face of a dangerous life, there can be such a glimmer of hope at least a kind of sustenance, for this reason, Twilight was chosen by the mercenary union as the headquarters.
Here, as long as you are a mercenary, you will be protected by the mercenary union, and no one can do anything in the mercenary city. Because of this, more and more mercenaries gathered here to set up their camps, and over time the scale of this mercenary city became as large as it is today.
On the Oskar Road, there is a kind of respect for mercenaries, especially the higher the ranks.
Everyone is F-level when they first register as mercenaries, and they will get corresponding points after completing the corresponding tasks, some tasks are not something that individuals can complete, so mercenaries often establish their own mercenary groups and complete tasks collectively, thereby reducing the probability of danger, and some send mercenary summoning orders, and wait until the mercenaries of the corresponding level arrive together to complete them.
There is only one mercenary group with the highest level of S-level on the mainland, this mercenary group is very mysterious, as long as they accept the task, they will definitely complete it, but people never know their true identity, and they never know how to find them, only waiting for them to find you.
There is also an indispensable name for this legendary existence - the gods and demons mercenary group.
Gods and demons are all existences above the tenth order, and they will never exist on the Oscar Road, once they reach the tenth order, they will fly to the god realm, and gods and demons have been opposed since ancient times, but this legendary mercenary group put them together in this name. This unbeatable arrogance is not something that ordinary mercenary groups can match.
Someone once offered a reward of 10 million purple gold coins to release the SS-level mission to check the details of the gods and demons mercenary group, many mercenaries couldn't help but tempt to accept this task, but no one completed it, the task was canceled on the third day, early in the morning of the third day, when the twilight city ushered in the first ray of sunshine, the mercenaries outside the city gate rushed into the city, and when they arrived at the city gate, they looked up and saw that there was a row of human heads hanging on the city gate. The sky was already getting brighter, and the sun shone on the blood-drenched heads, emitting a strange red light.
Someone dared to provoke in Twilight, and the mercenaries gathered more and more to wait to see the excitement, but to their disappointment, the mercenary guild didn't say anything, just took off the head and canceled the SS's mission.
Although the mercenary union didn't say anything, the mercenaries already understood that the dignity of the S-class mercenary group was not something that anyone was qualified to provoke. Since then, the gods and demons mercenary group has become an existence that cannot be desecrated in people's hearts.
It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky, but it was already approaching autumn and the weather was not very hot. On an official road outside the Twilight Zone, a handsome man dressed in black walked slowly, her brows furrowed slightly, and she knew that the road was very boring after a long time.
However, this handsome man is our Miss Sanssoucian, oh no, Master Sanssouci.
The sensation after the trial test pushed her to the top of the wind, so as soon as she arrived at home, her grandfather just prepared her luggage and let her leave directly in the teleportation array.
Since she drew the Ten Hidden Exams, her first task was not easy.
Trial Mission 1: Go to the Twilight Zone to register as a mercenary and start your mercenary career until you become a C-level mercenary and complete Mission 1.
Although there are a lot of C-level mercenaries, I wonder which C-level mercenary has not accumulated enough points to upgrade after five or six years of hard work. Not to mention that our Feng Er Shao is not a mercenary yet, let alone how much time it will take to upgrade to C-rank.
When she learned of her mission, her family was extremely worried, so without saying a word, let her leave immediately, racing against time to become a C-level mercenary as soon as possible.
Teleportation arrays are not allowed inside the Twilight Zone, and even the status of the four hidden families cannot violate this rule casually. For this reason, Sanssouci can only teleport to a small town outside of Twilight, although the town is adjacent to Twilight, but it is still a little distance, so Sanssouci has not reached Twilight until now.
Coming to the city gate, the city wall of nearly 100 meters is straight into the clouds, it seems to be very thick, the color of the city wall is the kind of green that has experienced the vicissitudes of life, simple and majestic, there are small dots on the city wall moving, that should be the Praetorian Guard on the city wall patrolling. Slowly walked to the city gate, and wanted to step into the city, but was blocked.
"Please pay the entrance fee!" A serious voice came.
It turned out to be the Praetorian Guard of the city gate, and the entrance fee is really a strange word to our Queen Le, to know that Lu Dao, which person in the territory of the Le family and the Feng family has the courage to ask her for the entrance fee.
But carefree didn't care, and asked, "How much?" ”
"A gold coin!" The Praetorian soldier replied.
With a flick of his hand, he took out a gold coin from the spatial ring and threw it to the soldier, and then slowly walked into the city.
When the soldier saw that he actually had a space ring, he knew that such a person was either a nobleman or a child of a family who came out to train, no matter what it was, it was not something he could afford to provoke as a Praetorian Guard, so he just withdrew his gaze and continued his work.
Because this kind of encounter is not new to him, many nobles and children of families often choose to register as mercenaries to take on tasks in order to experience or seek excitement, so he has long been surprised by this.
