"Nothing, thinking about what just happened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xia Yun sat up slightly and said.

"Oh? Seeing blood for the first time? Jerome asked.

"Sort of." Xia Yun touched his nose, he had seen corpses a few times when he was a child, all of them were poor people who died of illness, but it was indeed the first time to kill someone.

"Pretty good." "The first time I saw blood, I was so scared that I almost fainted. ”

Xia Yun nodded, he didn't feel it when he fought just now, but after the battle, thinking back to the corpses and the blood flowing in that place, Xia Yun also trembled a little.

"Just get used to it." Jerome patted Xia Yun and said, "If you don't kill them, they will kill you." This is a lesson that adventurers must learn. ”

Xia Yun also knew that he had also found a lot of biographical novels and the like from Master Lin's collection, and he also had enough understanding of these aspects.

Although the Khiva continent is controlled by a unified regime "Khiva Empire", the Khiva Empire does not have strict management over adventurers, and fighting is forbidden inside the town, but outside the city, it is normal for adventurers to draw their swords against each other without saying a word.

Beyond the city, there is a world full of dangers, so the merchants will go together to hire enough mercenaries.

Sword and blood are the eternal themes on this continent.

"Oh, take it." Jerome took out a small bag from his bosom and handed it to Xia Yun.

"What is this?" Xia Yun glanced at it.

From the size of the bag and the shape of the protrusion, you can basically guess it.

"Remuneration." Jerome said, "One hundred silver coins, just as you were just paid for alerting us and protecting Amer." ”

"Uncle, you actually came up with the money?!" Xia Yun glared.

"Hey, you still think I'm a miser?" Jerome threw the bag in front of Xia Yun and said, "By the way, are you interested in joining our mercenary group?" Only one gold coin is required to enter the tour. ”

"A gold coin ......" Xia Yun rolled his eyes and reached out to pick up the bag in front of him, "Isn't that a hundred silver coins, such as this one?" ”

Xia Yun flipped his hand, put the bag away, and said with a smile: "Then I'll take it first." ”

"Interesting lad." Jerome laughed.

"Uncle, when I get to Brimstone City, I will go to the Mercenary Guild to have a look, maybe the hundred silver coins will still be in your pocket by then." Xia Yun smiled and said.

"Then I'll wait for the money to come back." Jerome said, "A hundred silver coins, but it hurts me to death." ”

Jerome looked like a complete miser, but Xia Yun knew that others were still very good, and someone in the mercenary group had been injured before, at least the healing scroll worth one gold coin was used as soon as he said it, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

……

Because of the encounter with bandits in the middle, and the fact that it took a lot of time to repair, the speed of the whole convoy also sped up a lot, but it still took a short night road to reach the scheduled camping site.

With the experience of fighting side by side, the mercenaries and Xia Yun are also familiar with each other, and the mercenaries set up a tent for Xia Yun at night, and invited Xia Yun to have dinner together.

Most of these mercenaries have been to Sulfur City, and many of them have been in Sulfur City for a long time, after all, Sulfur City is a very famous adventurer city, and most of the people in it are adventurers from all over the world.

One by one, the mercenaries drank some wine, and they were slightly drunk, and several mercenaries also used their drunkenness to talk to Xia Yun about some of them.

"Ignore these rough guys." Amer sat down next to Xia Yun with a glass of juice, pushed the other nonsense mercenary away, and said to Xia Yun, "Drink as soon as you get excited, what if someone sneaks up at night, look at these stupid people." ”

"You look down on me?" A bearded mercenary was drunk, spitting alcohol, and spoke slurredly, "How many comes, how many Lao Tzu chops." ”

"Get out of the way." Amer kicked the bearded mercenary in the ass unceremoniously, of course, with Amer's strength, it was completely impossible to kick the bearded mercenary. The bearded mercenary was not annoyed, and rolled on the ground very cooperatively, and went to the other side with his companions to grab the squeaky roast meat on the fire.

"This group of people is like this, don't care." Amer said to Xia Yun, "The head of the regiment has arranged for someone to keep vigil at night, if you really encounter a situation, there is no problem in expelling drunkenness with fighting spirit, and today is a big victory, let them be happy." ”

Xia Yun looked at this group of noisy mercenaries, and seemed to think of his companions who were crawling around in the slums with him when he was a child.

"I heard the head of the regiment say that you just came out?" Amer took a sip of juice and asked.

"yes." Xia Yun nodded, "I've always been in Lingshui City before, and this time I came out stupidly and picked up by my uncle." ”

"Poof," Amer couldn't help but smile, "the head of the regiment probably didn't expect you to be able to help so much." If it weren't for you this time, we would have been attacked at close range by Tempest's Breath, and then combined with the bandits' sneak attack, it would definitely not be so comfortable. But you really don't look like a rookie, and you can fight very easily. ”

"I met a swordsman uncle who lived in Lingshui City for a while, and learned a lot of things from him, and even came out at his instigation." Xia Yun blinked and began to talk nonsense, "It turned out to be a pit." ”

"This kind of thing often happens, I was also turned on this road by a senior, by the way, you are going to Sulfur City, right? Want to go to the Lanshi Mountains? Amer smiled and asked.

"I'm going to go to the Lanshi Mountain Range to have a look," Xia Yun said half-jokingly, "Maybe I can get some Lanshi back, I heard that this thing is very valuable." ”

"Lan Shi, don't think about it." Amer smiled and said, "The Lan Stone on the periphery of the mountain range has been hollowed out early, even if you are lucky enough to pick up one or two pieces, it will not be worth much, and the value of this thing must also be reflected in the quantity." The truly precious Lanshi veins were all in the center of the mountain range, and they were all full of high-grade demonic beasts, which was not so easy to penetrate. ”

"I've been to Sulfurstone City many times, so I'll introduce you." Amer said.

"On the other side of Brimstone City, there are mainly adventurers, and most of the things are for adventurers, such as the Mercenary Guild, the Magician Association, all branches are set up there, and places like training grounds also exist." Amer said.

"When you go to Brimstone City, in addition to going to the Mercenary Guild to register your mercenary status, I suggest you go to those alchemy shops to have a look." Amer said, "To be honest, those messy alchemy items are super easy to use a lot of the time, and many of them are not particularly expensive, and it is quite cost-effective to spend a few dozens of silver coins to buy a few things that can temporarily save lives." ”

Xia Yun nodded, he was an alchemist himself, so he naturally knew about this aspect.

"For example, the short sword I used to resist the bandit today is actually a simple alchemy prop, which can instantly send a second-level electric shock technique, although it is not very strong, but the sudden triggering caught the bandit off guard, and the effect is also very good, that short sword, only more than a gold coin." Amer said, looking like a salesman, "It's like a magic scroll...... Oh, by the way, the fighting spirit can't be urged, but there are also some alchemy props that can be activated with magic crystals, such as the Breath of the Wind that I encountered with those bandits today, which was also activated through alchemy props......"

"What about the others?" Xia Yun hurriedly interrupted Amer's words, he didn't want to hear Amer talk about the benefits of the alchemy props last night, he was an alchemist, and he knew this aspect very well.

Listening to this stuff is torture.

Xia Yun stretched slightly, he had felt that Amer was a little chatty before, and he didn't expect that when he mentioned alchemy props, he would simply evolve into a salesman.

"To be honest, it's best to go to the alchemy shop, even if you don't buy anything, you can learn more, and you can be prepared when you encounter an enemy using alchemy props."

"What about the others?" Xia Yun pressed his head and asked, "Don't tell me you'll visit the alchemy shop over there......"

"I'm tempted to deny it...... "Amer looked innocent, "but in fact, I ......haven't been to anything other than the Wizards' Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Alchemy Shop."

"Amer." Xia Yun rolled his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"How do I feel...... You're a pretty reliable guy, huh? ”

"It was meant to be, what's wrong?" Amer was stunned for a moment, and then slapped Xia Yun on the shoulder as if he remembered something, "Do you say I'm very unreliable now?!" ”

"Yes." Xia Yun said very dryly, tilting his head to avoid a piece of dirt thrown by Amer.

Time soon passed in all kinds of fighting, and the mercenaries' celebrations were over, and they fell asleep on the ground one by one, and the camp soon fell silent, except for a few mercenaries who were still on patrol diligently, adding some firewood to the beating fire from time to time to keep the camp warm.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Xia Yun was woken up by the sound of the mercenaries' preparations.

"Ah, sorry to bother, aren't you used to it so early?" A young mercenary saw Xia Yun come out of the tent and said.

"It's fine." Xia Yun rubbed his eyes and said, "I get up at about this time on weekdays, but I was a little confused after tossing so much yesterday." ”

"That's good," the young mercenary laughed, "I'll have to wait a little longer for breakfast, or would you like to rest a little longer?" ”

"No, no," Xia Yun said, "Is there anything you can help with?" ”

"Hey, you're still polite?" A big rough hand was on Xia Yun's shoulder, and Xia Yun knew that it was Uncle Jerome with his eyes closed.

"Just watch it." Jerome smiled, and there was a faint smell of barley wine in his mouth.

"Uncle, are you so early every day?" Xia Yun asked.

The sky was still only dark, and there was still a slight chill around, but looking around, most of these mercenaries probably didn't wait for dawn to get up.

"It's basically like this when you go out on a mission, especially this kind of escort mission." Jerome explained, "It's comfortable to leave early in the morning, and today you can get to Brimstone before the hottest hours of the day, and you see the merchants, many of them are up." ”

Xia Yun looked in the direction pointed by Jerome towards the convoy, and sure enough, a few merchants had already gotten up and were washing, and it seemed that they were all used to this kind of life.

"The lowest level in our regiment are all fourth-level soldiers, and all of them are powerful, which is nothing." Jerome smugly, "Except for Amer's sick seedling, that guy is very delicate. ”

"Captain, you're speaking ill of me again......" Amer yawned and slipped out of the tent, only to hear Jerome's words.

"Tell me what's wrong with you." Jerome glared at Ammer, "Look at your staggering appearance, go back and rest a little longer, and if I see you napping during the day, I'll throw you to the side of the road." ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Amer yawned and retreated back into the tent.

Xia Yun looked at this scene, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

This kind of life is also very warm, right? Xia Yun glanced at everyone in the mercenary group, and looking at their relaxed expressions, he knew that they must have thought the same way.

"You guys, you were the vigil last night, right? What's the mix? Get out of the car and rest for Lao Tzu! Jerome's voice was as loud as ever.

In fact, he is a very charismatic leader. Xia Yun blinked.
