The Mercenary Avenue in the Association District of Coca City is home to most of the city-states' mercenary organizations. Scar and the others' squad stronghold and residence are also located here, a small but large compound large enough for fifty people to live.

After returning to his base, Scar tells Scar to inform everyone to come to the council chamber for the ceremony. Then go first and wait in the council chamber with the fine scar.

Scar felt that there were some things that he needed to talk to Scar first.

"General, I... On the main and deputy seats of the council hall, Scar looked at Scar, who was sitting on the main seat and pondered, and said with some hesitation.

The title "General" would be a surprise if it were known to outsiders. Because this is the identity of the army, it is also an undesecrated part of the civilization of the city-state.

The only cultivators who can be called generals are those who have been commanders of more than 10,000 men in the city-state legion system, and their cultivation must be at the peak of the captain rank or the rank of a ground rank.

And it is obvious that the cultivation of both scars and fine scars is only at the husband level. The two of them are only the leaders of a team-level mercenary organization. This is very strange.

However, Scar's tone of calling Scar a general is very natural and seems to be a matter of course. The scar, known as the general, only had a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, and there was no objection after that.

Scar raised his eyes to look at the fine scar, and sighed lightly: "Ah Xi, don't drill the tip of the horns." In that case, neither you nor I can help it. And don't forget, I killed you. ”

"But my life is the general's! If it weren't for the general, everyone... The fine scar or Li Xi blamed himself with some excitement.

"Don't say it, Axi. Don't mention the past, this matter ends here. Plant it, plant it, don't trap yourself in. Even without your two knives, you and I would have self-destructed like everyone else. That barrier is so terrifying. Scar stopped Li Xi's self-blame and admonished.

He was relieved: "And if it weren't for your two knives, I wouldn't know how we were tricked." ”

Then he sighed lightly and said, "It's a bit of a cut to grow a wisdom." ”

"General... Li Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Li Xi knows." ”

"Hmm." Scar nodded, raised his right hand and touched the stubble on his chin like a steel needle, and said with some thought and emotion: "I don't know how many people there are this time... Then he shook his head, frowned, and stopped talking.

After being silent for a while, he looked at Li Xi and said, "Ah Xi, what do you think of that player named Ning Yuan?" ”

The slender scar at the corner of Li Xi's eyes jumped, and there was a cold light in the corner of his eye, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Traitor." ”

"Heh," Scar shook his head, looked at Li Xi with a gritted tooth and chuckled and sighed, "It seems that you will not be able to overcome this hurdle this time." ”

His expression became serious, staring at Li Xi's eyes and said coldly: "Li Xi, next time my life is in danger, I will take you to block the arrow." ”

Li Xi looked stunned, but without hesitation, he got up and knelt on the ground, and said with a solemn expression: "Yes!" Checkmate. ”

Scar shook his head a little angrily, looking at Li Xi's serious and reassuring expression, he had a little headache. It was because of this person's brains that he wrenched the other party's neck without any hesitation the moment he came to his senses, but he didn't expect to have to use this method to make this kid feel at ease.

Secretly sighed for a while, and when he saw that Li Xi had finally returned to normal, he asked again, "Tell me what you think of that kid?" ”

Li Xi frowned, and said with some indignation: "Treacherous villain." ”

Then calmed down in Scar's majestic eyes, and then calmly added: "That kid seems to be very good at using his weakness to mislead others, although his words are true under the system oath, but now I think it should be a word game." Very decisive, able to forbear, able to take advantage of the situation, if it weren't for the fact that the strength was too weak, I think I should be a strong guy by nature. ”

"Strong?" The big eyes like scars and copper bells blinked, and the calm and watery look under Ning Yuan's slightly bookish soft face came to mind, thought about it, and shook his head: "Maybe it's not strong." ”

Seeing Li Xi's puzzled look, he shook his head, and said with some confusion: "Some can't tell, but I feel like this." ”

Then he sighed lightly: "If he hadn't said it himself, we would have been really inexplicable this time." After all, we have been gone for too long and forgotten the most important things that should be guarded against in the war. ”

Li Xi lowered his head a little gloomily.

Scar smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then continued: "Carelessness under the comparison of strength, negligence under information asymmetry, seriously, now that I think about it, we really didn't lose unjustly." ”

Li Xi thought about it for a while, nodded in approval, and then recalled: "Originally, when I drove away the gap, I should have gone to the front to investigate, but at that time, I chose to walk out of the passage together. ”

"Because that's how mercenaries usually do it." Scar smiled wryly, "And we've been mercenaries for a whole decade." ”

Li Xi also said bitterly: "From the initial unaccustomed to today's habitual. If it weren't for this solidified face and irreparable scar from resurrection, I would have thought that the mercenaries would be all our memories. ”

Just then, Scar came in and informed everyone that they were back.

By the time everyone came in, Scar and Li Xi had calmed down.

Everyone first told each other about the current situation, and then after the person who turned around first reported the situation, Scar looked at everyone and said calmly:

"Brothers, because of this incident, now all of us have only one last life."

Everyone looked at each other, and they all bowed their heads silently.

Scar looked at the silent crowd, and a slightly arrogant smile appeared on their faces, and chuckled:

"Why are you so frustrated? It's not like I haven't died. What's more, we've experienced something more terrible than death, haven't we? ”

"Five years in the army, thirteen years in the city of Koca. From the abolition of cultivation to the re-emergence of cultivators, we have experienced countless battles in the eighteen years, but in the thirteen years since we arrived in Koca City, no one has been killed to be reincarnated, and the city lord is still rewarding us even now, so what are we not satisfied with. Although it is a bit aggrieved this time, it will be planted if it is planted, as long as we keep a low profile for a year and a half, we still have a chance. Don't forget that the fifteenth day of the lunar month next year is the ten-year day of the Nino Continent, and on that day, as long as we are lucky, we can recover at least one resurrection. ”

Everyone was stunned and thought about it. The relatively stable life of the past ten years has made their group forget everything they have experienced. Compared to the beginning, all this now, including this somewhat aggrieved death, is really nothing. What's more, it was only on the Heavenly Gift Day ten years ago that they were able to return to the ranks of cultivators. Otherwise, they would have been reincarnated as they had been.

Seeing that everyone's spirits were slightly lifted, Scar nodded, and said:

"The key is, what are we going to do in the next year and a half? The things that have just been resurrected have been known to our current nemesis, the bald man. With his hatred for us, he will definitely try his best to attack us once the beast tide period is over. We all know how ruthless this demon's methods are. If we don't have a little to deal with, it's hard for us to get through it. ”

"My lord, what should you do directly?" Scar looked at the crowd and looked up at Scar, who had a calm face.

"Okay." Scar nodded and said, "I'll tell you about our next arrangements." ”

"Zhangzi, you first clean up some of the things that have accumulated in the warehouse and rearm everyone. In addition, a large number of logistics materials were purchased from the dark market, mainly grain, soldier food pills, Bigu Dan, blood tonic ointment and wound medicine. By the way, Jing Yuan also pay attention to it. ”

Zhang Zi, that is, Zi Scar nodded, and he should be calm.

Scar nodded, looked at the small man sitting in the back, and said:

"Muzi, the bald man will definitely send someone to investigate the situation of our collective resurrection this time, you go and reveal the news."

The little man Mu Scar was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and asked:

"Boss, how much to reveal?"

"Except for the cause of our death, all." Scar said in a condensed voice.

"Okay." Liu Mu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Scar looked at the fine scar Li Xi and said:

"Ah Xi went to the Mercenary Association to apply for the resurrection of the weak recuperation period and the resurrection of the weak protection period."

Li Xi looked at Scar.

"Until the fifteenth day of next year."

Li Xi nodded and said:

"Can I redeem points for more than a few months?"

"Redeem. Also, ask Master Moon to help me copy what we used in the army. Scar nodded.

Li Xi's eyes lit up, and he responded, "Yes, general." ”

Everyone looked at each other with a happy face, and the general seemed to have plans to recover.

Scar looked at everyone's expressions, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, but he relented in an instant, and said:

"Erring, after a while, you will secretly gather all the people who came to Koca City with us, and let everyone slowly pick up those things in the army. All of us, like us, can afford to squander our savings over the years and pick up all the things we once threw away. This is our last way back. ”

Errang, that is, the arrow scar among the eight people who turned around first, stood up a little excitedly, bowed, and responded: "Yes." Checkmate. ”

Li Xi looked at the eagerness and excitement in everyone's eyes, and his heart was also stirred. Although I don't quite understand why the general, who has always asked everyone to hide carefully, and even let everyone completely discard their former habits, let everyone pick up everything at this time, as long as the general has a plan to go out of the mountain, he is enough.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Xi calmed down the agitation in his heart, and said with a little worry: "General, will this attract the attention of that person?" You must know that the minions of that person have already appeared in several nearby city-states. ”

Scar's eyes were cold, he raised his hand and touched the horizontal flesh on his face, and said in an inexplicable tone: "As long as the face that Xuanjun Shi exchanged for his life is still there, those spies don't have to worry." Moreover, there are city-states being destroyed every day on the Nino continent, and there is no shortage of soldiers who have fled for this vote. ”

In the Longshan Domain, more precisely, in the entire Neno Continent, there are some city-state alliances that are of a special nature.

This kind of city-state alliance basically does not expand externally in the situation of war, and its position is impartial and completely neutral.

This type of city-state alliance is known as a neutral alliance.

Generally speaking, this kind of city-state alliance holds some kind of "lifeline", which is enough to ensure that it is left and right between the city-states and city-state alliances, but it also makes those city-states and city-state alliances guard against each other, and dare not cross the thunder pool.

The merchant alliance where Mochizuki Castle is located is such a purely neutral city-state alliance organization.

The Merchant Alliance, as the name suggests, is a confederation of city-states that focuses on commerce. In other words, this alliance is an alliance of several purely commercial city-states. Among them, there are five giant city-states, 15 large city-states, and 46 medium-sized city-states, and there are no small city-states.

It is not accurate to say that there are no small city-states. It is true that the Shang Alliance did not have a small city-state directly under it. Because they only attract medium-sized and above pure commercial city-states to join. But there are still small city-states as grassroots.

In fact, it is not a small city-state, more precisely, an urban area.

Through the circulation of commerce and the supply of resources, the merchant alliance occupied a district as a subordinate of almost all the city-states with which they interacted. That is, it is equivalent to a concession with independent authority.

Although the hard scale of the Shang Alliance can only be regarded as a large force in the entire Longshan Domain, it is enough to be called the largest force in the Longshan Domain when it is counted. The production of all kinds of resources occupied by it has reached about 40% of the entire Longshan Domain, and it can almost be said that as long as there is something in the Longshan Domain, there is nothing that cannot be bought in the Shangmeng. Even if the Longshan Domain does not have it, the Shang Alliance also has channels to obtain it from other domain boundaries. This is the "lifeblood" of the business alliance.

More than 50 percent of the medium-sized city-states in the Longshan region have special commercial districts, also known as "concessions", and this scale continues to expand with time and the emergence of medium-sized city-states.

The largest business district in Coca City is the Mochizuki District, which was established by Mochizuki City, one of the five giants of the Business Alliance.

There is such a praising rumor about Mochizuki City, one of the five giants of the business alliance: "Mochizuki District in Mochizuki City, Mochizuki District is expected to be Yuelou, Mochizuki Pavilion is on the Mochizuki Tower, Mochizuki Pavilion is hidden in Mochizuki Pavilion, and the best of the world is collected." ”

There is also a Mochizuki Tower in the Mochizuki District of Coca City, and there is also a Mochizuki Pavilion on the Mochizuki Tower, and the Mochizuki Pavilion also has a lot of goods in the Longshan Domain. It's just that the goods in the Mochizuki Pavilion in Koca City are living creatures, to be precise, "people", and "women".

The Mochizuki Pavilion in Koca City is a shop specializing in selling female ** subordinates. The entire Moon Tower is the largest slave trading market in the city of Koca.

Slaves have existed since the dawn of the city-state alliance. Actually, it's very understandable. Where there is war, there will be captives, displaced people, and broken families. Although all the natives of the Neno continent have long been accustomed to war, and they don't care much about who is above their heads, but people, wanting to be rational all the time is a luxury in itself. So even if you take it for granted, you will also have hatred, and you will resist the so-called habitual because of hatred.

So what to do with this kind of existence? It is impossible to kill them all, so it becomes a natural choice to trade as a slave.

The legal origin of slaves is basically divided into three categories, prisoners of war, outcasts in the wilderness, and self-degenerate. Prisoners of war are those soldiers and practitioners who surrender or are taken prisoner. Displaced people in the wild are displaced people who have no or no household registration. And the so-called self-depraved are those who sell themselves for some reason.

As for why he sprinkled a large paragraph to introduce the existence of the Shang Alliance and the slave trade, it was naturally because Xu Yong and the main lord he welcomed back from the resurrection hall were now on the Mochizuki Tower in the Mochizuki district of Coca City.

Needless to say, the purpose of coming here is just "to accompany the prince to study".

In the Mochizuki Pavilion, which specializes in selling beautiful slaves of all ethnic groups, Xu Yong and his younger brothers are also clustered around a young man in a dark Confucian costume.

If a man wants to say that he looks handsome, he is indeed handsome, and his face is born with a sense of arrogance. However, whether it is the deep bags under the eyes, the pale and bloodless face, and the vain and weak steps, all indicate that the young man's body has been hollowed out by wine.

There is no doubt that this is a stumbling stump. And it is not those noble children who are superficially frivolous but are really elite, but the real depravity of self-depravity.

The young man's name is Xue Qing, and he is the heir of a certain big man in Xu Yong's "Torture Eye".

Although there are many heirs of that big man, it is said that this one is quite favored. So Xu Yong could only wait carefully. After all, he had his back to the "Torture Eye", and this one came with that person's instructions this time.

However, it is really not so easy to serve, especially this person who has just been slaughtered once, and now his heart is on fire.

"Did anyone catch it?" After Xue Qing selected a few favorite commodities from the slave materials handed over by the director of Mochiyue Pavilion and asked the other party to bring them over for inspection, he turned to look at Xu Yong and said expressionlessly with a suppressed and annoyed tone.

Xu Yong gestured to a junior brother who was in charge of talking beside him, and the younger brother nodded and replied a little flatteringly: "Childe, the person has been caught." It has been brought to your room, and this time it is guaranteed that the other party will not be able to resist. ”

"Hmm." Xue Qing's expression was slightly relaxed, and his tone softened: "It's a good job." This time, I don't care about your responsibility to protect the disadvantage. ”

Then he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "That cheap maid actually dared to stab my son with scissors, causing my son to lose a soul pill in vain." This son must want her to live, not to die. Hum. ”

After saying a few cruel words, Xue Qing looked at Xu Yong again and said, "You've been here for seven years, right?" ”

Xu Yong motioned for the younger brother to reply again.

"Yes, Childe. My captain has been in Ciudad Coca for almost eight years. ”

"So, did you find that place?" Xue Qing looked at Xu Yongdao coldly.

The younger brother was stunned for a moment, as Xu Yong's confidant, he glanced at his captain, and then said carefully: "Son Qiyu, my captain has never forgotten his mission in the past seven years, and after many investigations, it can be determined that the secret realm is indeed near Longsen." In the past seven years, he has also sent people to investigate, although he has found several underground secret realms, but they are not that place. The captain judged that the place should not be on the boundary of Longsen but on the side of the Fulong Mountain Range adjacent to Longsen. ”

"Have you found the exact location?" Xue Qing asked.

The little brother lowered his head in shame and said softly in fear: "I haven't found it yet." ”

"Huh?!" Xue Qing's eyes turned cold in an instant, and the aura of the superior who had been exposed to him since he was a child enveloped the audience, staring at Xu Yong with cold eyes.

Although Xue Qing was an out-and-out gentleman, and his strength was only a soldier level built up through resources, the aura of the superior inherited from that big man still made Xu Yong's body stiffen slightly, and cold sweat appeared on his shiny bald head.

Xue Qing stared coldly at Xu Yong's intact right eye, looked at Xu Yong's slightly dodging eyes, and scolded in a low voice: "Seven years, you can't even find a secret realm in the past eight years, can you still waste a little more?" ”

"Hmph." Snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the slave display area, and said in a gloomy tone as he walked: "The surname is Xu, don't forget that my father only gave you ten years, and there is no explanation in ten years, you should know what will happen to you." ”

"Whew!" sneered, and his tone changed to playfulness: "Although the voice of evil is rare, you are not the only candidate, but the only side effect of your is that your body gradually becomes feminine as your talent deepens, if you don't want to completely change from a man to a woman, you'd better hold on to the big tree of my torture eye." Although this son still wants to see what you look like after you are completely transformed into a woman. After all, in history, people like you who are gifted with 'evil voices' have all ended up becoming bewitching beauties. ”

Xu Yong lowered his head and said nothing, his hands clenched unconsciously, and his intact right eye exuded an astonishing cold light.

Since the awakening of his talent, the most taboo thing for him is that others talk about the side effects of his talent, so when the "Torture Eye" promised to give him a platform four years ago, he couldn't wait to create the destruction incident that the entire Coca City knew about and still kept secret.

However, although he wanted to slaughter the gentleman in front of him, Xu Yong still had to endure it, unless he wanted to die.

The city-state natives, while not very different from the player in many of the mechanics, are only similar. Just like the resurrection mechanism, mortals among the aborigines of the city-state do not have the number of resurrections, and if they die once, they must be reincarnated, that is, if they die, they are really 'dead'. Only after becoming a cultivator can you be given three chances of resurrection by the rules of the Neno Continent. This is also one of the reasons why Xue Qing, who is a gentleman, will use his resources to build himself into a soldier-level cultivator.

And the ceiling is set there, three times. There is no way to increase the cap.

Although it is possible to replenish the number of resurrections consumed by various methods like the player, there is also a limit to the number of times it can be replenished. That's three hundred and twenty-seven times. Whether it is the regular gift of the Heavenly Gift Day once every ten years or the replenishment of special pills such as the "Soul Returning Pill" like Xue Qing, he only has twenty-seven chances of resurrection in his lifetime. Of course, this refers to the ideal state when the aborigines have enough channels and opportunities to recover the number of resurrections.

When the city-state aboriginal cultivators have consumed three resurrections and have no way to replenish them, they will actually 'die', and then reincarnate from a mortal baby according to the reincarnation rules. And all memories of this life will be completely lost. Of course, gender, appearance, and even race will be completely new.

The player is different, although Ning Yuan is still unclear about the specific rules, but the basic situation is understood. Regardless of whether a player becomes a practitioner or not, they will immediately receive five resurrections, and the maximum number of resurrections can be increased to nine in various ways. It is also possible to replenish the number of resurrections an unlimited number of times through special elixirs such as "Soul Rejuvenation Pill" and certain special means such as rules.

Of course, like the city-state aboriginal cultivators, if you consume the upper limit of the number of resurrections and have no means to replenish them, you will be forced to reincarnate by the rules. It's just that unlike the natives of the city-state, the player will not completely lose the memory of his previous life, but will only lose a part of the undetectable, of course, Ning Yuan doesn't know this yet, and I believe that the player as a whole will not easily notice this change for a long time.

And the player's gender does not change after reincarnation. As for appearance and race, if you don't want to, they don't change.
