Chapter 44: A long-lost entrusted task

At this time, An Xu was gearing up, preparing for a big battle.

His opponent is Huang Quan, who has been abusing him to death, and today An Xu has learned a lot of new skills, although he is not proficient, but his combat effectiveness has still improved a lot.

He desperately wanted to know what level he could play against Huang Quan now.

Skillfully entering the training ground, An Xu grabbed the sword and shield and rushed into the passage, Huang Quan still stood quietly, waiting for his challenger.

Seeing An Xu's figure, Huang Quan directly pulled out his weapon and strode up to meet him.

An Xu had long been accustomed to Huang Quan's 'welcome' method, and he didn't panic, raised his shield to easily block Huang Quan's sword, and then took a step forward, put the sword against the shield, and made a stabbing movement forward.

This thrust, An Xu is ready to use the combat ability he has just learned.

But the opportunity to attack was only for a moment, and with his current level, he couldn't condense the battle energy to the maximum in a short period of time, so he could only hastily condense half of it and stab it out in advance.

Even so, An Xu was very satisfied with this sword, which was already the best level he could play in battle.

The blade of the sword shot towards Huang Quan's chest like a meteor with an afterimage, Birou was right, after the arm was blessed with combat energy, not only did the power increase greatly, but the speed of the sword was also a little faster.

While An Xu was attacking, he was also imagining what kind of way Huang Quan would use to block this sword, but to his surprise, Huang Quan took two steps back, and then quickly dodged to the side.

In the face of the swift and sharp spurs, Huang Quan also seemed to judge that he could not resist, so he could only choose to retreat and dodge.

This is the first time An Xu has seen Huang Quan retreat!

For a while, An Xu couldn't help but be greatly excited. This is Huang Quan has already stood firm, and turned sideways at An Xu and used a shield strike.

An Xu also raised his shield to block it.

'The center of gravity should be steady, every part should be as perfect as possible, and the whole body should be integrated into the confrontation! An Xu still remembered every word Birou had taught at noon, and tried to adjust her posture.

"Boom—"

The metal shield made a dull thud and a strong force as the familiar pull returned, trying to deflect its attack away.

However, I can hold it down!

An Xu was pleasantly surprised to find that after being partially unloaded, he was still able to stabilize his body and was not knocked back by Huang Quan.

It's not easy! An Xu instantly had the urge to burst into tears, how many times he had been knocked into the air, and finally he could barely compete with Huang Quan from the front.

Before he had time to celebrate, his arm was cold, and it turned out that Huang Quan took advantage of An Xu's distraction and made up a sword like thunder, almost cutting off his entire arm.

"......" An Xu realized that he was still fighting, and quickly gathered his mind.

However, his hand holding the sword was already injured, and he could hardly use any strength, which was still Huang Quan's opponent, and after resisting in vain for a while, he was finally defeated.

Appearing in the central room, An Xu was not too annoyed, in fact, he could feel that there was still some gap between himself and Huang Quan at the comprehensive level, even if his arm was not injured, he would still lose in the end.

Because he is not yet proficient, An Xu needs to concentrate every time he attacks and defends, and his level fluctuates greatly, and if the time drags on for a long time, Huang Quan will always seize the opportunity, and he has no way to maintain the level just now.

But Huang Quan is different, as an illusion, he will not make mistakes at all, and the level of play has always been fixed, unless An Xu is higher than him in all aspects, it will be difficult to win.

No matter what, An Xu finally saw hope, as long as he spent a little more time familiarizing himself with what he had learned in the academy, defeating Huangquan would no longer be so out of reach.

After cleaning up his mood, An Xu did not choose to enter the passage and fight with Huangquan again, he mainly wanted to test his current level today, and it was not meaningful to continue fighting.

And even if he defeats Huang Quan, there is an intermediate challenge waiting for him later, just the beginner level is already so difficult, and the intermediate level is even more useless, it is better to spend more time exercising and come back.

However, Huang Quan doesn't have to continue to challenge, and another person is An Xu's best sparring partner, that is, Lan Caier, who has not been seen for a long time.

There is still a period of time before the beginning of the month, and since An Xu already knows that someone at the conference will target him, it is impossible for him not to prepare.

Shang Fang Qingyang's people can't have fighters to accompany him in actual combat training every day, but he can keep fighting Lan Cai'er, learning from the experience of fighting mages, and every battle is a battle of life and death.

This is Anxu's strength, and it is also where his confidence lies in facing challenges.

I was about to go in to find Lan Caier to 'catch up', when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, An Xu hurriedly exited the training ground, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a girl in a white maid's suit.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Miss Ling is waiting for you in the study." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" An Xu nodded, the eldest lady had an order, of course he didn't dare to slack off, so he tidied up his clothes and walked towards Yayun Ling's study.

I was also curious in my heart, didn't this Miss Ling just be separated from herself, why did she see herself again?

There were only two people in Bayunling's study, she and Yun Feng, and when An Xu walked in, she went straight to the point and said, "I entrusted you with a task, can you accept it?" ”

An Xu's eyes lit up, isn't this sleepy just touching the pillow?

During the day, I was still thinking about how to find some tasks to do from Yayun Ling so that I could earn some experience points to unlock the star marks, but I didn't expect Yayun Ling to be so considerate of himself and take the lead in mentioning it.

"Tell me about it!" An Xu didn't dare to say it too much, the task released by Yayun Ling would definitely not be simple, if An Xu was not sure, it was very likely that he would give up.

"You are a local mercenary, you know more about the situation here, I want you to help me investigate, the transaction of rare ores in Hidden Moon City in recent months, the more detailed the better!" Yakumo Ling said.

"Rare ores?"

An Xu was slightly stunned, as a mercenary, of course he knew what rare ores meant, this was a material strictly controlled by the kingdom, and ordinary people were forbidden to trade in large quantities.

Investigating such information is likely to get into a lot of trouble.

Seeing An Xu's solemn expression, Yayun Ling explained: "A large part of the reason why the Yayun family, as one of the three major families of Huiye, is because we have a large number of ore veins, and these resources ultimately need to be transported to the kingdom. It can be said that the Yakumo family is serving the royal family, so you can rest assured. ”

"But during this time, the rare ores transported have been looted, and Hidden Moon City is one of the largest rare mineral fields, and if something goes wrong, the entire kingdom will be affected, so I will personally come here to deal with it."

Yun Feng added on the side: "They can't transfer this kind of material unknowingly, these goods are very likely to be in the territory of Hidden Moon City, investigate the transaction records of the black market, and maybe find some clues!" ”

"Why should I do it? There should be someone in the Yakumo family who is good at this, right? "An Xu is puzzled, the stakes are high, and he needs to ask clearly about anything that is unreasonable.

Yun Feng gave a look and said in a low voice: "You have to do this quietly, don't make it public, even if other people from the Yayun family ask, don't expose it!" ”

An Xu immediately understood that they suspected that there were traitors in the Yakumo family. An Xu was found by Yayun Ling by chance, and he definitely wouldn't have any contact with the person who attacked the convoy, so he would be relieved to hand it over to him.

"If it's to find out the news, I know a person, that person is the head snake of Hidden Moon City, who specializes in relying on intelligence to eat, and has a very good network in the black market!" An Xu said with a deep groan.

"Is it reliable?"

An Xu nodded: "That person has a good reputation, and he won't change his mind when he takes over the task, but he only recognizes money!" ”

"Remuneration is not a problem, I will give you enough funds. I'll leave this matter to you, it happens that the day after tomorrow is the weekend, you don't need to go to school, you have news to notify me as soon as possible! ”

"Okay, then I'll go down first!"

An Xu was about to leave, when suddenly Yayun Ling stopped him: "Wait! ”

"Huh? Is there anything else to explain? An Xu stopped, turned around and asked.

Ya Yun Ling coughed and said in a reluctant tone, "Pay attention to safety and do what you can!" I don't want to make An Xin hate me because of something happened to you! ”

"Hehe, okay, thank you for your concern!" An Xu couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect Yayun Ling to care about people.

Back in the room, An Xu was about to continue to enter the training ground to practice, when the knock on the door rang again.

He had no choice but to get up from the bed again, open the door, and there was still a maid standing in the dim light, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong with the eldest lady?" ”

Why doesn't this Yakumo Ling always finish things at one time, isn't this a toss?

"Seeing that you haven't slept yet, I specially stewed some soup for you, and didn't disturb you from doing things, right?" A familiar voice sounded, and An Xu saw that the person in front of her was Lina, she was wearing a white headscarf, and her long golden hair was all tied behind her, and An Xu didn't recognize it at once.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Ahn Xu's eyes widened.

Lena smiled lightly and handed the bowl in her hand to An Xu: "It's my job to take care of you, I just happened to have extra clothes here, so I borrowed them and put them on, and I was embarrassed to stay here if I dressed too casually." ”

"I'm sorry, because of me, let you run around!" An Xu said guiltily.

"What nonsense, you're also working hard for this family, and I'm causing you trouble!" Lena gently covered Anxu's lips with her fingers to stop him from continuing.

Her fingers are very delicate, even if they are touched and left, An Xu can feel that touch of warmth.

"Drink the soup quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold for a while, I'll go back to the room first, don't work too hard for you to rest early." Lena wasn't going to stay long, this was never their home, and it was not good to be seen alone at night.

An Xu doesn't care, but Lena is very thin-skinned, and she stays at home all the time, but she has to come into contact with many people.

After Lina left, An Xu closed the door, picked up the soup bowl and took a sip, and the slightly sweet hot soup swept away An Xu's fatigue of the day, and even his heart was warmed, and the whole person was instantly full of energy.

"Good! Keep up the good work, and there must be significant progress today! He cheered himself up and went into the training ground again.
