Scarlet Flower 004: Mission begins

"The Eastern Frontier, over there in Lingxing City, isn't that An Yan's family residence?" Murong Yue blurted out.

An Yan had already confessed her identity before leaving, she was from the An family, one of the five major families in Al, and was the second daughter of the current head of the family.

An Yan originally said that it was because she had something at home, so she had to go home first, but now it seems that Lingxing City is indeed not peaceful, but Murong Yue doesn't know much about this, she just needs to listen to Jiang Xiao's explanation.

"Half a month ago, there was a contradiction between the Al Empire and the Ailan Empire, and now it seems that the contradiction between the two countries can no longer be reconciled, understand, war will inevitably break out. When Jiang Xiao said this, Murong Yue's eyes were already wide, and she thought it was just some friction, but according to what Jiang Xiao said, a war was coming.

"Whether war comes or not, I will rush to the battlefield, kill from there, and become strong there!"

"Don't think so well, if the war starts, no one will feel good. Murong Yue clenched her fists, obviously, she didn't want to see a bloody imperial war.

"I didn't think it was good, I don't belong to the two big countries of Al and Alan, I don't have a home, anyway, war is inevitable, I'll use the battlefield as my testing ground. "Jiang Xiao's idea is actually very simple, as long as you can become stronger, you can do it anywhere.

“......”

"If there is really a war, come with me, you are defending the country, I am training myself. Jiang Xiao saw that Murong Yue was a little silent, so he comforted her.

"Okay! I'll listen to you. Murong Yue showed her trust in Jiang Xiao, which made Jiang Xiao very happy.

The two set a goal, and they went back to rest separately, Jiang Xiao was a little disappointed, in fact, he also wanted to reminisce about the life of the academy with Murong Yue. In fact, he learned a lot in school, but after Leng Xiaotong left, Jiang Xiao understood that he was still a greenhouse flower, and although the learning in the academy was comprehensive and full of competition, Jiang Xiao still felt that something was missing.

If you want to return to the clan, you have to put in more effort and find ways to become stronger.

Without the giant, Jiang Xiao slowly chose to accept it, but he still didn't want to blend in with the crowd, and it was difficult to talk about it after all.

After sending Murong Yue away, Jiang Xiao returned to bed and entered a state of cultivation.

......

"Jiang Xiao, wake up, new mission. "Murong Yue came over early in the morning and knocked on the door.

Jiang Xiao, who was still in a state of cultivation, finished meditating, he glanced at the sky, and found that it was still early, so he reluctantly pushed open the door and asked, "What's the situation? Didn't you just come back yesterday? and took on the next task so quickly?"

"Yes, the regimental commander asked me to come back and call you. ”

"Wait. Jiang Xiao quickly finished washing up and followed Murong Yue to the Mercenary Guild.

Although Huixue Town is a bit remote in geographical location, it is bordered by the mineral-rich Ice Blue Mountains to the north and the Wind Leaf Forest with many monsters to the east. Therefore, the mercenary guild in this town has endless tasks to do.

It's just that in the early morning, there are already several teams of mercenary groups in the guild taking over tasks, and Jiang Xiao saw the leader and deputy head of the Pure Snow Mercenary Group at a glance in the crowd.

The head of the regiment, Liang Xin, and the deputy head of the regiment, Liang Yuan, also noticed Jiang Xiao and Murong Yue, they waved to the two of them, and Jiang Xiao also said hello and went over to meet them.

Liang Xin found a place to sit on the side, and Liang Yuan took out a map from his pocket.

Jiang Xiao took it and found that this was the topographic map of the Wind Leaf Forest, with three small circles circled in the map.

Jiang Xiao pointed to the bottom circle and asked, "This is the destination of the last mission, right?"

"Yes, so it's still the assignment issued by the same employer, and this time the destination is the remaining two points. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Xiao casually agreed twice, he was still a little confused, why did he call himself and Murong Yue specifically when he took over the task.

As if seeing Jiang Xiao's impatience, Liang Yuan took the map, slid his finger on the map, and circled an area for Jiang Xiao.

"These two places are too far away from Huixue Town, and none of us have been there in person, so we don't know the specifics. ”

"That is to say, there are unknown dangers in these two places, and this mission is more than lucky. Jiang Xiao added.

"Yes, so we brothers just want to ask you what you want, and if you don't feel the need to take the risk, we'll give up on this mission. ”

Jiang Xiao nodded, he finally understood the intentions of the two brothers, in the Pure Snow Mercenary Group, in addition to the chief and deputy leaders, the strongest was Jiang Xiao, so they hesitated and handed over the decision to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao tilted his head, this matter is related to his performance after joining the group, the application of spatial spiritual power is extremely wide, his contribution to the team is great, and his personal reputation is also high, so he can naturally afford this trust.

"What about the pay?"

"Gold, ten times as many as last time. Liang Yuan made a "ten" gesture.

"Take it, this order has been done for a long time. Jiang Xiao didn't hesitate, after all, he was also planning to leave the mercenary life, how could he not make a big deal in the last order.

I don't know what danger there will be in the depths of the Wind Leaf Forest, Jiang Xiao is actually a little looking forward to it, he hopes that his strength can be improved a little in this mission.

"Well, gather outside town early tomorrow morning. Liang Xin patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and left first, he should have been preparing to go.

Jiang Xiao pulled Murong Yue, walked to the reception, and took a second look at this task: the exploration mission, and recorded a large amount of field data with the recording crystal.

Interestingly, it mentions toxic fog and swampy areas on the way, but does not mention the approximate range, which should be unknown to the employer himself, or not explained.

No matter how you look at it, it's a good place for trials.

"Yueyue, did you bring crystals with you on your last mission?" Jiang Xiao knew that Murong Yue should bring crystals to record some things on every mission.

He didn't participate in the last mission and didn't know the specific situation, so he wanted to borrow Murong Yue's crystal to see the situation.

"Give. ”

Taking over the crystal, Jiang Xiao injected spiritual power, and one clip after another flashed in his mind, some of them were Murong Yue who killed the demonic beasts, and there were also those who fought the enemy together.

"Alright. Jiang Xiao returned the crystal, and the fragments recorded in Murong Yue's crystal showed that there were only a few high-level demonic beasts over there, and the others were not troublesome.

"Gone. Jiang Xiao waved his hand, indicating that he would go back first, this mission came a little suddenly, and he was not prepared.

As soon as he came out of the Mercenary Guild, Jiang Xiao bumped into Xiao Lin again, Jiang Xiao could be regarded as Xiao Lin's senior, so he said hello.

"It's Brother Jiang, I'm here early in the morning to pick up the task. Xiao Lin seemed very enthusiastic, but Jiang Xiao was a little confused, he shouldn't be very familiar with him, is he more familiar?

"Do you usually greet you like that?" Jiang Xiao's words were a little helpless.

"Ah, then Brother Jiang, good morning. ”

Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Just call me Xiao Jiang like them." ”

After that, Jiang Xiao walked away, and when he missed Xiao Lin, Jiang Xiao unconsciously aimed at Xiao Lin with a map under his armpit, and took a few steps forward, but Jiang Xiao blinked his eyes, tilted his head and said to himself: "Pick up the task again?"

......

Early the next morning, Murong Yue woke up Jiang Xiao, and the two set off together. Murong Yue was wearing a set of soft armor, while Jiang Xiao was wearing normal casual clothes.

The sun has been rising for quite some time, and this is the perfect time to go.

The two walked to the assembly point outside the town and found that there were already five people waiting at the assembly point, these five people were the head and deputy head of the group, Lao Zhao Xiaolin, and one was Xiao Zhou, who was good at magic. This time, the candidates seem to be a lot more capable, and all the staff are at least second-order.

"Just waiting for the two of you. Liang Yuan waved his hand, called everyone over, and took out a map at the same time.

"This mission is still going the old way, this is a new map, and there is only one map, so I will tell you the details before I go, and I must remember them. ”

Jiang Xiao subconsciously looked at Xiao Lin and found that Xiao Lin looked impatient.

"Listen intently, don't go wrong when the time comes. Lao Zhao patted Xiao Lin's head, Xiao Lin hurriedly agreed, and then leaned over to listen carefully.

Liang Yuan explained in detail, for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Xiao listened quite carefully, and had already memorized all kinds of details. Most of the experience of the old mercenaries is useful, and if you can learn a little, you can be a little more comfortable outside.

"Okay, get ready to go, just like last time, the first stop is the Jade River two hundred miles away. Liang Yuan put away the map and nodded to Liang Xin, and Liang Xin walked in front alone, and looming spiritual power fluctuations appeared on him.
