Chapter 21: The Mercenary Bar

In order to inquire about some information about those magical beasts, Li Liehuo came to the mercenary association station in Xianyang City, more precisely, this is just a temporary office of the mercenary union in Xianyang City, and it can't even register mercenaries and hand over tasks, but it's more like a bar. However, the quests and news released by the Mercenary Guild will be updated from time to time on the information bar here.

What's more, there are a lot of mercenaries coming and going here, and the mercenaries often buy and sell some materials or exchange some information here, of course, the price of buying and selling materials here will be higher than what those merchants in the trading market receive, and at the same time, the latest Warcraft enrichment points shared by those mercenaries are also very useful to Li Liehuo. So for Li Liehuo, this is a good place to sell Warcraft materials and find out the news.

"Have you heard, on the prosperous road, the general was seriously injured by a demonic beast!" said a mercenary with a bronze star medal on his chest, drinking wine.

"No, the general is a master of the bronze peak, and he has the most elite army in the city by his side, how can he be injured by a demonic beast, is it a silver-level demonic beast? No, even a silver-level demonic beast cannot hurt the general among the ten thousand armies." Beside him, an informal mercenary like Li Liehuo asked suspiciously.

"I think it's true, my caravan was supposed to go to Xiangcheng in the north through the prosperous road yesterday, but it was stopped a few steps out of the city gate, and then I watched the general being carried back by a group of people, as if he was seriously injured and unconscious. A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman whispered, and beside him, several of his first-bronze star guards and two second-bronze mercenary bodyguards also nodded in guarantee.

"In that case, it must be true, and I don't think this adult with status would make such a joke. The informal mercenary who didn't believe it just now immediately believed it, he believed the merchant's words more than the one bronze star mercenary, after all, the merchant who was able to hire two two bronze star bodyguards was not an ordinary small trader, it was very likely that he was a person who had seen the world in imperial trade, so naturally he would not brag about this kind of thing.

For the level of mercenaries, Li Liehuo also knows something, if ordinary people want to become mercenaries, they must go to the formal mercenary association for assessment, and after the assessment is successful, they will be a formal mercenary at the level of a bronze star, and at this time, the mercenary association will issue a mercenary log to each mercenary soldier who has successfully assessed it, which will gradually record the tasks completed by the mercenary and the points obtained by the task, and when the points accumulate to a certain extent, they will be upgraded to the level of two bronze stars.

And so on, after the two bronze star levels, there are three bronze stars, four bronze star levels and five bronze star levels, and above the five bronze star levels, it is the silver moon level, and the badge on the chest at this moment is not a copper star but a crescent moon made of silver.

"This demonic beast is too powerful, it can actually injure all the generals of Xianyang City, I don't know what kind of demonic beast it is, how long it will take to exterminate it, I don't know when this prosperous road will be unblocked. A two-star mercenary sighed, he took the task in the Yancheng Mercenary Association to complete here, and now it is only a little more than a month away from the date of the task limit, normally, it takes a month from Xianyang City to Yancheng, if it drags on like this, his task is likely to fail because of overtime, and then he can't help but not get that large amount of points and rewards, and he will return to a bronze star level because of the deduction of a large number of points for incomplete tasks, not to mention, there will be more failures on the mercenary manual, and the task completion rate will also drop a lot。

"Alas, I knew that I shouldn't have been greedy for this big task, I wanted to get more points at one time, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and now I have to be downgraded. The two-star mercenary said depressedly.

The level and strength of the mercenary are not equated, because the level of the mercenary is accumulated by the slow accumulation of points on countless tasks, so although the old mercenary who has been engaged in mercenaries for a long time is not strong, he will also accumulate more points because of the completion of many small tasks.

"No, if this is stopped for a month or two, I will have to miss the dwarven wine festival, and when the time comes, I will also be empty of bamboo baskets. The merchant who spoke before also said with a depressed face.

"It seems that the appearance of that demonic beast has caused a lot of trouble to everyone. Looking at the people around him who were constantly complaining, Li Liehuo thought in his heart.

Walking to the counter familiarly, Li Liehuo whispered to the boss: "Here's a map of the latest Warcraft gathering points, preferably with the pile of Warcraft they talked about." ”

In the past two years, in order to hunt Warcraft more efficiently to participate in actual combat, Li Liehuo would come to the boss here every month to buy a map with the latest Warcraft location, so that Li Liehuo could choose Warcraft with the same strength as himself to fight, neither need to look for Warcraft everywhere, nor encounter Warcraft that are too weak or too strong and difficult Warcraft like the Black Scorpion, which greatly improves the efficiency of practicing and making money.

The bar owner has a bloated figure, but the shrewd eyes and mustache at the corners of his mouth are obviously very incompatible with the boss's bulbous figure.

"It's Agni, you've rarely come here lately, you know this Agni, if you want other Warcraft, it's a trivial matter, but what about the pile of Warcraft you said...... You know, it's been under the supervision of the military lately, and it......'s hard to get your hands on it," the fat boss said with an embarrassed look, but the little eyes kept wandering from side to side.

If it was the first day to teach this boss, Li Liehuo might still believe that he was telling the truth, but now Li Liehuo has dealt with this guy no less than dozens of times, knowing that this is just the fat man's usual trick to raise prices.

"Hmph, you starving trick to deceive those newcomers, let's say, how much do you want to sell?" Li Liehuo said with a look of me seeing you.

"Uh...... Hehe. His intentions were revealed, the boss smiled slightly embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said tentatively: "Ten gold coins! This is the lowest price......

"What! Ten gold coins, are you mistaken, there must be a limit to blackmail, okay, the ordinary Warcraft distribution map is only between five silver coins and one gold coin, you actually want ten gold coins! You want money crazy, ten gold coins can only be earned by hunting two or three high-level Warcraft on average." Li Liehuo almost jumped up and scolded the boss for being black-hearted.

"Ahem...... This, the price is negotiable, you know, those ordinary maps are only ordinary bronze level below the level of Warcraft, and this time the Warcraft is even silver-level Warcraft, and the leading Warcraft is more likely to be a spirit beast, if you catch this spirit beast, let alone ten gold coins, even if it is ten thousand gold coins, you can earn it back. So, this map will cost at least eight gold coins, but not too little......" the boss said with a smile.

There must be a heart crystal in the spirit beast's body, and the price of a heart crystal is around 10,000 gold coins, so the price of a spirit beast is at least 10,000 gold coins. And the heart crystal is also divided into levels, the heart crystal of the bronze level demon beast is called the first-level heart crystal, and the heart crystal of the silver-level demon beast is called the second-level heart crystal, and so on, the value of the heart crystal is ten times higher every time the level of the heart crystal is increased by one level!

"Hmph, spirit beast, do you think spirit beasts are so easy to kill, which spirit beast doesn't have a life-saving trick, even if it is a silver-level master, it can only defeat a bronze-level demonic beast and can't kill or catch it! Li Liehuo said dissatisfiedly, five gold coins, this is the benefit of hunting a high-level demonic beast, he risked his life to earn five gold coins, and this fat man can get the equivalent gold coins by sitting here comfortably and drawing a small picture, as soon as he thought of this, Li Liehuo was extremely unhappy in his heart.

"Good...... Good...... Five gold coins is five gold coins, little brother of Agni, I sold it to you because you are an acquaintance, if it is someone else, I will not give you a copper plate for ten gold coins. The boss took out a sheepskin from under the counter and handed it to Li Liehuo, and said skillfully in his mouth: "The old rules, you can only see it yourself, you can't share it with others, no problem, right?"

"Got it, you're going to do business. Li Liehuo took out five gold coins and handed them to the fat boss, and there was a pain in his heart, in the previous life, there was a family supply, and all the precious medicinal materials needed for bone refining were provided by the family, and he didn't need to worry about it, but now these medicinal materials all need to be bought by himself with gold coins, which makes Li Liehuo have to desperately hunt high-level magical beasts to earn gold coins. And then I had to worry about buying a large number of gold coins for the consummation of the ninefold bone training in the future.

"I'm not an opponent of that spirit beast and those two silver-level demonic beasts, but I can deal with other high-level demonic beasts and weaker bronze-level demonic beasts, I hope this time it can bring me a good harvest." With the map in his hand, Li Liehuo walked out of the mercenary tavern and headed in the direction of the largest demonic beast remarks point more than thirty kilometers outside the north gate on the map.
