Chapter 30: The Lone Wolf Mercenary Team
The next day, after Xu Zhen got up, he touched his ear, which still seemed to be a little painful, and sighed helplessly.
However, after a whole night of skipping the level and fighting monsters, Xu Zhen's experience value has increased a lot, and he also played a few small masterpieces in the early stage, which made Xu Zhen's mood a lot happier.
However, remembering what his father inadvertently said at the dinner table last night, Xu Zhen still frowned slightly, and from his father's words, Xu Zhen seemed to faintly feel that this world seemed to be a little unpeaceful
The southwest border where my father was stationed had been frequently attacked by some demonic beasts recently, although they were still only some low-level demonic beasts, but the scale and strength of these demonic beasts had also been greatly improved compared to before, which brought a lot of pressure to my father's army.
In order to alleviate the pressure, the Warrior Guild and the Magic Guild of the Heavenly Soul Country have also released a lot of mercenary missions about hunting Warcraft, and due to the relatively generous rewards, they have attracted many mercenary teams with relatively good strength.
Today was the first day that Xu Wei went to the Magic Branch Hall to learn magic from the Water Moon City Lord, and seeing his brother walking into the Magic Branch Hall under the leadership of the guards, Xu Zhen turned around and walked towards the mercenary mission release point on the side.
At this time, the mission release point was already crowded with people, and mercenaries wearing all kinds of weapons and equipment shuttled through it to hand over the task, and before they could get close, Xu Zhen heard a noisy shout.
"Three-star mission, hunt the second-level Warcraft Shadow Moon Demon Wolf, and come to a thug with the strength of a five-star fighter or above! Four Equal One! ”
"Two-star mission, collect a Yin Zhi, ask for a bodyguard who is familiar with the terrain of Montenegro, or buy a Yin Zhi at a high price!"
"The Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment is hiring! Fighters and above can sign up! With the highest benefits and the lowest risks, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group is the best choice for you! ”
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Xu Zhen had a feeling of being in a different world, all this in front of him was so familiar, I remember that when I first entered the game of Legendary Road, at the door of the first full-area dungeon, isn't this the scene?
It was there that Xu Zhen met the best and only friend in his life - Zhang Bin, a holy priest, and the two got acquainted with each other from the game, teamed up for tasks and brushed books, until they later became good friends in reality
"I don't know how he is now, after learning about my death, he will probably be very sad, right? Hehe. The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth showed a hint of bitterness, in fact, Xu Zhen had a burst of ecstasy after he understood that he had indeed crossed over at the beginning, after all, with a magical cheat, his life would definitely not be too dull
But after the ecstasy, Xu Zhen felt a deep loneliness, even if he had a warm family that he had never had in his previous life, but in this strange world, his favorite woman and best friend were far away from him
"Hey, old man, are you interested in teaming up together? Seeing that you are so old, you should have some strength, right? Just when Xu Zhen fell into deep thought, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, pulling him back to reality.
Xu Zhen secretly said ashamed, as a high-end thief, it is really a bit unreasonable to let people get so close and not know the way, if this is in the game, it will be dead.
Raising his head and looking at the person who spoke just now, Xu Zhen smiled and said, "What is the task?" What level is required? ”
Hearing Xu Zhen's words, the young man who asked out just now was obviously very happy, and said with a smile: "Well, yes, I see that you are so old, I think you are definitely not a rookie, it seems that I guessed correctly, there are a lot of new mercenaries here recently, even if you have a little strength, but the job of hunting Warcraft requires experience!" The young man pointed to himself and continued: "Just like me, don't look at the age, but there are dozens of demonic beasts hunted!" ”
Looking at the smug chatter young man in front of him, Xu Zhen couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Oh, it's so powerful!" It's disrespectful. ”
"That's it! Let me tell you, this time our captain has taken on a three-star mission! The quest calls for hunting a second-level demonic beast! Have you ever seen a second-level Warcraft? That's a guy with the strength of a fighter! As long as we complete this task, the accumulated honor points will be enough for our mercenary team to be promoted to level 3! ”
Pointing to his left chest, the young man continued, "See? Here, it's time to embroider the third star! Awesome, right? Oh, by the way, I don't know what level you are? Why aren't you wearing a mercenary suit? How many stars are you in the mercenary team? ”
Facing this super enthusiastic chatter in front of him, Xu Zhen felt speechless for a while, and actually asked about his strength after saying such a big thing, to be able to send such a superb guy to gather his teammates, it seems that this mercenary team is also the best enough.
"Me? The strength is almost the same as that of an eight-star fighter. Xu Zhen remembered that it seemed that this young man was gathering five-star fighters and above just now, so he directly reported a similar strength level.
"What do you mean almost? Are you an eight-star fighter? I can't tell you're pretty good, but seeing that you've lived so much, it's average to have this strength! The young man sneered.
After speaking, the young man picked up Xu Zhen and walked out of the crowd, saying as he walked: "For the sake of being fated with you, I will choose you, and when the task is completed, I will give you a reward of 20 silver coins!" How's that, it's awesome, right? By the way, my name is Abu, what's your old name? ”
Xu Zhen originally wanted to enter the boundless forest in the southwest to check what caused the recent frequent activity of the demonic beasts, so he did not refuse this young man named Abu.
Hearing Abu's question, Xu Zhen smiled and said, "It's good to call me Mr. Xu." ”
"Oh, Old Xu, how old are you this year?"
Xu Zhen: ""
Soon, Xu Zhen was taken by Abu to an inn in the city, the innkeeper seemed to know Abu, just glanced at it and ignored it, Abu led Xu Zhen to the second floor, and without knocking on the door, he directly led Xu Zhen to push open the door and enter a room.
There were three people in the room, two men and one woman.
Sitting at the table was a middle-aged man, who looked like he should be the captain of this team, and his strength was a three-star fighter.
The man standing on the sword on the right, his strength was about to enter the realm of a fighting master, and his face was a little cold.
There was a young woman sitting next to the bed holding a magic staff, who looked quite attractive, she was actually a magician, although her strength was not high, she was only a tenth-level trainee magician, so she was not wearing a robe, but Xu Zhen could feel that this woman was actually a rare priest of the light system If there is a profession of priest in this world.
This is the information that Xu Zhen has just learned when he enters the room.
"Abu, how many times have you been told? Why are you still so reckless? The middle-aged man said calmly, and then his eyes fell on Xu Zhen at the door, and said, "I don't know who this gentleman is?" ”
"Boss! This is the helper I found! Isn't the fourth brother recuperating from his injuries? We're one less! This mission is so important, so I went to the mercenary hall to summon this right, Old Xu! Xu Lao Ke is an eight-star fighter! It's two levels higher than the fourth brother! Abu said happily.
"Oh, that's right." The middle-aged man stood up, looked at Xu Zhen and said: "This mission is indeed a little difficult, our mercenary group also welcomes Mr. Xu to join, but before leaving, I have to explain to Mr. Xu that this mission will be somewhat dangerous, I hope Mr. Xu can think carefully before making a decision, after all, the second-level demonic beast is not an ordinary beast, it already has considerable intelligence, and it is not so easy to deal with." ”
"I've heard Abu mention this beforehand, and I've decided to join this mission." Xu Zhen said.
"That's good, our lone wolf mercenary team welcomes Mr. Xu to join! As for the reward, when it is done, I will give it to the sir."
"20 silver coins!" Abu suddenly said urgently, I have already told Xu Lao about this, and after finishing speaking, Abu actually didn't dare to look at Xu Zhen a little.
"A reward of 20 silver coins." How could the middle-aged man not know that little Jiujiu of Abu, although his mercenary team is not very financially rich, but the reward of 20 silver coins is indeed not high for this mission, but since Abu said it, he can't let his subordinates get off the stage, so he has to continue: "Although the remuneration is not high, if Mr. Xu's performance is good enough in the mission, I will increase the remuneration as appropriate." ”
Xu Zhen naturally understood it very well in his heart, but according to his current net worth, this money could be ignored directly, so he did not raise any objection to the task, so Xu Zhen agreed.
Seeing Xu Zhen talking so well, several people in the lone wolf mercenary team had a great impression of Xu Zhen, especially Abu, I don't know if it was guilt or what, but they were more enthusiastic about Xu Zhen, and pulled Xu Zhen from time to time, which made Xu Zhen really helpless.
After a little rectification, Xu Zhen followed the lone wolf mercenary team into the boundless forest in the southwest.
