"O flame of life,

Burn out the darkness of the world.

When the light shines into the darkness,

Light is also only an accessory to darkness.

Yes!

storm

When will you come today?

boom

This world is no longer the familiar one,

Why do you need to stay,

That time passed! ”

……

The old man was singing an ancient ballad, and his deep gaze seemed to see through Wang Meng's body, looking straight out.

grabbed Wang Meng's cloak from afar, pulled it hard, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, this old man is so dirty, let's go out." ”

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, and understood that he must have been afraid of the old man's appearance. Thinking that he was just a child, he touched his head far away, Wang Meng smiled and said, "My brother still has something to tell this grandfather, if you are afraid, just wait for me outside the door." But remember not to go far. ”

"Well, brother, I see."

The deep gaze, like the wrinkles of a war knife, crawled all over the forehead, and the gray cardigan drooped on the body, and the buttons were gone. His chest was dark, and he smelled of it. The old man was hunched over, with a broken bow beside him.

A small insect flew around beside the old man, and Wang Meng only felt sick to his stomach. ", flies."

There was an NPC behind him who saw Wang Meng walk to the corner, and immediately laughed loudly: "Young man, haha, what are you doing there?" Old beggars are useless, to hire good mercenaries, you need to find me. Look, how strong my muscles are. ”

Wang Meng didn't look back, is it useless? A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Wang Meng had a feeling that in the mercenary hall, what could really shock him was the sloppy old man in front of him.

Because when he looked at it just now, it was clear that Wang Meng felt a strong murderous aura. It is a murderous aura that can only be tempered after countless life and death experiences.

"This old man, the previous experience is definitely not simple!" Wang Meng touched his forehead: "If you can hire this old man, you can take risks in Tadar Town, even if the old man is old, he will at least be able to help himself in terms of experience." ”

Having made up his mind, Wang Meng had already decided to hire this old archer. "Grandpa, I want to hire you to follow me on an adventure in the small town of Tadar, I don't know how much your employment fee is?"

In addition to some silver coins, Wang Meng only had 10 gold coins from Xijiangyue, and his property was not much after reaching the more developed place of Tadar, so Wang Meng had to ask how many gold coins he wanted, so as not to encounter the embarrassing situation of actually hiring someone and not being able to pay the gold coins.

The old man raised his head suddenly, his eyes fell on Wang Meng, and he stared carefully, as if he wanted to discover something. Then, tremblingly, he stretched out a finger.

"Rub, a hundred gold coins!" Wang Meng instantly had an urge to jump off the building. Sure enough, it was a mistake to start the price.

"No, the old beggar is 1 gold coin. But, boy, are you really going to hire such a piece of waste that can't fight or run? Ha ha! The mercenaries around the table laughed together.

This group of mercenaries obviously saw that Wang Meng didn't hire his own gang, and specifically wanted to pick a waste in their eyes, so they were very angry and deliberately used words to provoke Wang Meng and the others.

Wang Meng knew in his heart, but he couldn't let the old man be looked down upon by this group of people, so he immediately took out two gold coins from the package. Shook it: "I'll give you two gold coins, follow me." ”

The old beggar just opened his eyes, and lazily skimmed to the door again, ignoring Wang Meng.

The mercenary became even more arrogant and laughed: "Young man, you don't know what to do." Old beggars have their own rules and will not be hired easily. You want to hire him, unless you can amuse him. ”

"Damn, what kind of rule is this!" Wang Meng couldn't help but scold, but when he saw the old man in front of him, he still gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll amuse him." ”

The most effective way to amuse a person is, of course, to make a face. Although he hasn't played this trick to tease girls since puberty, Wang Meng will never forget, well, it's the same as teasing girls. Wang Meng closed his eyes and made several grimaces in a row that he thought were disgusting and funny.

Then he opened his eyes, and saw the old man at first sight, and his calm face didn't seem to have looked at Wang Meng at all.

"Hey, my king is monopolistic and disobedient. I still have jokes. ”

Wang Meng understood that what was going to be a tough battle next, so he took a deep breath and crossed his legs: "The difference between saying that a woman is funny is: give her a candle, some feel that a cake is missing, and some feel that a candle is missing......

glanced at it, but there was no response, it seems that the old man did not understand the meaning of the joke.

"Give up, young man, the old waste hasn't laughed since he came to the mercenary group."

Half an hour later, Wang Meng was out of breath, but the old man just kept looking at him coldly. Don't laugh, don't even talk much. Finally, even the good-tempered Wang Meng couldn't help but complain: "Sister, don't be tired of being a senior sister back then." This old man is really hard to serve. ”

Wang Meng said seriously, casually skimming his eyes, but saw the old man slowly stand up and pat the dust on his body: "My name is Marcelo, and I am willing to be your mercenary." But you have to remember that I am only your mercenary, not a servant. ”

The unruly temperament in the corner of his eyes, even if he has aged, that arrogance remains unchanged.

Wang Meng nodded heavily, it was a promise, a promise to the hero: "I swear, you have all the right to freedom." ”

After taking the gold coin, the corners of the old man's mouth barely squeezed out a smile, it was ugly, if it weren't for Wang Meng's careful thinking, he wouldn't have found out that this was a laugh at all.

"Old waste, aren't you afraid of death with this old bone? Haha......"

With a smile behind him, Marcelo picked up his broken bow and followed Wang Meng, and the two walked out of the hiring hall. There will be tasks in the mercenary hall at any time, so Wang Meng didn't go to the taskbar to see it this time. Because after accepting Marcelo, an old mercenary, Wang Meng had some other things to do.

Lin Er, the grocery store owner that the village chief said, is not in a hurry to find it for the time being. You can go around the town first to see if you can get some tasks. But before that, there was one thing that had to be done earlier, making a set of leather armor equipment.

The reason why Wang Meng has this idea is because the equipment worn by Marcelo is too tattered. As an employer of mercenaries, why should you make your mercenaries dress neatly, so that you can save face!

After learning how to tailor, Wang Meng was able to make a level 10 leather armor set - snakeskin armor. The material needed is a large amount of silver snakeskin. Basically, a set of skins needs about 400 pieces for this low-level skin.

This silver skin is a level 15 silver snake that will burst out, and because there are too many goods, it is too late to go out and play the skin. Wang Meng still decided to collect some fur first, anyway, he now has gold coins.

The town of Tadar is much larger than the hermit village, so there are many more supporting facilities. For example, there is a trading market not far from the employment hall, where players can consign things that they don't need for the time being, and the consignment time is generally 2 hours, and the consignment time is the highest one. Of course, there are also sellers who set a fixed price, which will be much faster.

Outside the market is the famous stall area, but now there are no people here, and there will be no silver snakeskins. So Wang Meng took Marcelo and Yuan directly into the trading market.

Open the search bar and grab the keyword Silver Snakeskin. Sure enough, it came out.

There are two players trading the silver snakeskin in the market, one for 300 pieces and the other for 200 pieces.

The price of silver snakeskin is generally 2 copper coins each. This guy with a fixed price bid more ruthlessly, and directly opened 3 copper coins, anyway, this one is to be bought, Wang Meng didn't frown, and spent 6 silver coins to win the 200 pieces of skin. Next is the big 300 sheets.

The system prompted that a player had already bid 7 silver coins, and without hesitation, Wang Meng directly pressed a 10 silver coin. Now I still have a full 8 gold coins on my body, and I don't have to worry about this little money. Moreover, Wang Meng's favorite thing to do is to kill his opponent in a big instant, and then enjoy the sound of his opponent's heartbreak. If you add a silver coin to a silver coin, that's a painful thing.

There are still 3 minutes left in the bidding time of Silver Snake Skin, and Wang Meng has been staring nervously at the screen in front of him since he bid, he doesn't want to make anything wrong at the last moment.

It's been 1 minute, and there hasn't been any movement. Wang Meng just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time, the number jumped.

"20 credits." There was a big bid, and it was directly added with 10 silver coins, obviously wanting to use a high price to suppress Wang Meng.

Wang Meng entered a 21 without blinking, and grabbed the initiative back into his hands at the last moment.

"Ding! Congratulations on using Silver Coins x21 and bidding for 300 Silver Snakeskins. The system will automatically deduct the handling fee, and the silver snake skin will be automatically transferred to your package after 10 minutes, please pay attention to check. ”

"Okay, take it down." The corners of Wang Meng's mouth curled slightly, revealing a confident smile.

At this time, he took Wang Meng's hand, shook Wang Meng's arm, and said: "Big brother, who grabbed things from big brother just now?" ”

Wang Meng shook his head: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be in this arena." Tsk, the handling fee for remote participation in competitive auctions is as high as 20%, and this kid doesn't know ......" The next moment, Wang Meng's face changed drastically, and he immediately said: "No, let's leave quickly." ”

At the same time, at a high-level leveling point, a player with a golden retriever stared at the screen in front of him with wide eyes: "Damn, have you found out who stole the fur of the fourth child?" ”
