Chapter 28: Mercenaries
You guessed it right, the reason why the mercenary captain said this was entirely because he was instigated by the middle-level magician, and as for why he did this, it was completely under Xiu's control, as mentioned before, Xiu and Zhao Xin needed to do more than just infiltrate Noxus, after doing this, they needed to become a "reasonable" existence.
"No problem, who's coming?"
Zhao Xin said expressionlessly, in this case, this sentence seemed inexplicably ridiculous, Xiu's plan had already been told to him by reading the words, to be honest, even if the people here were all on it, they were not his opponents.
"Alright then, you go."
The mercenary captain's expression did not change, he just casually motioned to a mercenary next to him to stand up, this person did not have anything special, just a mercenary who was quite ordinary in terms of strength and stature.
"The strength of that young magician has been determined that there is no problem, we just need to know the level of your warrior friends, since you want to join a mercenary group, we can also let you join, considering that you are only a novice, in the case that both sides do not use weapons, as long as you can hold him for a minute, no problem, right?"
"Okay." Zhao Xin didn't say any more nonsense, and stepped forward calmly, the opponent didn't despise it, the two of them put on a posture, looking like they wanted to fight with their bare hands.
"Very well, the timer begins."

In the face of a novice, this mercenary has thought a lot, everyone understands the truth that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, in case this young man really has some strength, and he is beaten up instead of underestimating the enemy, how will this job continue in the future? But if you're just a beginner, your skills won't be much better, right...... The mercenary thought about it for a while, and finally tentatively threw a straight punch, which could be regarded as a test of the opponent.
The punch wasn't very strong, would he dodge it, or would he just take his own punch? Just as the mercenary was thinking about this problem, Zhao Xin did not act according to his thoughts, and almost at the same time as the punch, Zhao Xin suddenly leaned down and really knocked him to the ground like a cow.
"Poof...... Hahaha......" Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but laugh, this too simple way of fighting was really a bit funny, the mercenary immediately blushed and got up from the ground, and said loudly to a few people next to him with some annoyance: "This doesn't count just now!" Go on! ”
The mercenary just felt that the failure just now was just because of his own carelessness, but the next scene made him completely give up this idea, and before he could stand up, Zhao Xin had already run to his side and grabbed his clothes hard, like lifting a baby, the mercenary was easily lifted in the air with his back facing the sky, no matter how vain he waved his arms, but he could not get rid of Zhao Xin's control.
I don't have any combat skills, only brute strength...... The mercenary captain couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the scene in front of him, and listened to his own magician say that the potential of this young magician is quite good, and he will definitely have great development in the future...... Forget it, such a thin physique can have such strength is considered a talent, after all, skills can be exercised through acquired practice and experience, and it doesn't hurt to let him join.
"That's it! I agree with you to join, there is a good chance that you will encounter robbers in front of you, everyone hurry up and get in the car and concentrate on setting off for Noxus! ”
The mercenary captain shouted loudly, and everyone who was stunned by Zhao Xin's power had no objection to this decision, and they all said hello to this "new friend" and returned to their respective cars.
"Mission accomplished." After putting the mercenary down unscathed, Zhao Xin walked to Xiu's side and said in a low voice.
Defeat the opponent in the simplest and rude way, this is Xiu's order to Zhao Xin, the reason why he did this is only because he doesn't want the strength of the two to be discovered, although he can be affirmed through the judgment of the "intermediate magician", but obviously, Zhao Xin must speak through strength, but Zhao Xin has almost no other expression except for his expressionless face, even if he pretends to be very laborious, but if it is an expressionless face, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a mockery, in this case, It would be best for him to pretend to be an ignorant teenager with brute strength.
There is no doubt that the two now have a reasonable identity, and infiltrating Noxus is also the first step towards success.
A day later in the afternoon.
It had been a day since Xiu and Zhao Xin teleported to be in place, and it was very fortunate that this not a short journey did not encounter any robbers, and the merchant was quite happy, he felt that the two new additions had brought him good luck, and Xiu and Zhao Xin had received an additional bounty for it.
That afternoon, the caravan finally entered the realm of what truly belonged to Noxus, the vast fields and farmsteads of the marginals, as well as the patrols they encountered by chance, all imbued with the so-called "Noxus atmosphere".
Zhao Xin looked at the scenery outside the window, he was still expressionless, but his eyes were not so simple, in his memory, this was his hometown, although he couldn't remember the specific location of the home that once existed, but deep in his heart, there was something beating.
"Is this your hometown? It's a beautiful place. ”
A thought suddenly came to his mind, Xiu's words did not have any other meaning, he was originally a lover of peace, and apart from all the stance factors, this place was indeed quite a beautiful place.
"Thank you." Zhao Xin also replied through reading, perhaps because of his passive hands and feet, the memories before the memory gap have now become a little empty, although he can clearly remember what he once did on the farm, but he doesn't know what happened, these memories seem to have been added later, and they are not real.
"You're welcome, that...... If you miss this place a lot, we can stay here a little longer, my father said that if you get enough news in a month, you can stay for an extra week......"
"No, thank you, Prince." Zhao Xin quite resolutely rejected Xiu's proposal, in this resoluteness, Xiu seemed to feel some kind of hostility, did he care about this kind of thing very much? Xiu sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.
"Guys, we're almost there! Pack your things and get ready to go home! ”
The voice of the mercenary captain came from the walkie-talkie, not far ahead, the magnificent city wall can already be clearly seen, five years later, this place has not changed, the guards are still standing on the city wall to pay attention to the surrounding movements, always ready to deal with unknown troubles.
As they approached the city gates, the number of vehicles gradually increased, and each caravan had a pass issued by Noxus or Zaun, and only those who had this document could enter the city.
"After getting off the car, remember not to lose it, your identity can only be officially recognized after you go to the mercenary center to register, otherwise...... Wait, what's going on here? ”
The sudden pause made everyone stick their heads out of the car window, I don't know what happened, the speed of the traffic in front seemed to speed up a lot, as if they had passed through the city gate without checking, and the merchants who did not know the truth signaled the convoy to move forward, and sure enough, when passing through the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate had no intention of blocking at all, so everyone entered unimpeded.
"The atmosphere seems to be a little off." Xiu's voice sounded from Zhao Xin's mind again, these soldiers seemed to have received some kind of blow, sitting casually without discipline at all, and those seemingly serious soldiers standing on the city wall were actually gathered in groups of three or two chatting, this scene made Zhao Xin also a little puzzled, in his memory, it was absolutely impossible for the troops on the Noxus border to make such a move, but today they really did it.
Not only that, but the expressions of the ordinary people on the street were also a little strange, they were talking to each other seriously, and the people in the older grades were fine, but all the young people looked depressed, and seemed to have no strength to walk.
"What the hell is wrong with these people? Zhao Xin, has my father sent troops to attack here in the past few days? "Defeat is the only explanation that Xiu Neng can think of.
"Absolutely not." Zhao Xin is very sure that almost all the events of the second in the past few days have been used to discuss the League of Legends, and about the issue of the army, he has not said a word except for standing in place and never taking the initiative to fight.
"Leave these things alone for now, everything will be answered when we get to the mercenary center." Now that they are within the Noxus power, the mercenaries' tasks are completed, and after receiving the negotiated bounty, the mercenary captain is satisfied with his subordinates and sets off towards the mercenary center.
The first place where mercenaries appeared was in Noxus, although this is a large military camp, but there is always a certain limit to the number of troops, it is impossible for everyone to become soldiers, and other work also needs to be completed, just like that, these people who have not become soldiers have established a mercenary organization, not only ordinary people, but even marginal people can participate, Noxus high-level has an encouraging attitude towards this organization, in many battlefields, mercenaries have no less combat effectiveness than regular troops.
"Okay, the registration of the two of you has been completed, and you will be one of us from now on...... First of all, I would like to give you both an important task. ”
The registration was completed quickly, and the mercenary captain immediately assigned the task after handing over the badge to the two, and the rest of the mercenaries were a little surprised, is it really appropriate to let the newbies who have just joined perform the task alone? But since it's the captain's arrangement, there shouldn't be any problem...... After a careful explanation, the two nodded solemnly and walked out of the hall.
