Kitano Ao and Steward Hima searched for a long time before they found the courtyard that the mercenaries would always give to Kitano Ao.

The courtyard is located in a very secluded place, with a small alley in front of the courtyard with lush trees on the left and right, and a small river in the back.

"Brother Duan Ao, the environment of your courtyard is very elegant?" As soon as Steward Jima arrived, he liked it.

"If you like it, stay here forever. ”

"What a deal about me living here. Besides, I'm a mercenary steward in Pengluo City, and it's 108,000 miles away from here, so it's hard to come once. ”

"Isn't this simple, let me tell the president, can't I transfer you to the president?"

"Huh, will this work?"

"Don't worry. ”

When the two entered the courtyard, there were more than a dozen guards standing in the courtyard in the front yard, and when they saw Kitano Ao coming back, they hurriedly saluted Kitano Ao one by one.

"Alright, you all go and get busy. ”

The construction of this courtyard is still very chic. There are two courtyards in the front and back, the middle of the front yard is a garden, and then the front is the living room, which has four dormitories on either side of the living room. There are more than a dozen houses on the other three sides. Passing through the front yard into the back yard, there are also many houses on three sides, and in the middle is a small square, which should be a place for sword practice. There are many valuable trees around the small square, and there is a pavilion on the side.

Ji Ma followed Kitano Ao and looked back and forth, and said, "Brother Duan Ao, this is the most suitable place for meditation. ”

"Yes, when we are old, we will retire here, and when a group of children play here, we will sit in the middle of the pavilion and drink tea, do you say comfortable?"

"Hey, wait...... Brother Duan Ao, what do you mean by us retiring here?" Steward Jima was said by Kitano Ao's face was red.

"I said don't get excited, I'm just an analogy, you know?"

"You, I didn't hear you say two words, for example?"

"That's what I forgot to say!"

At night, Kitano Ao sat cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, and his spiritual sense entered the storage space of the "Haunting Dreams" holy artifact, and investigated all the 98 rough ice-based ores inside.

These rough stones were excavated by him in the depths of the mine cave of the Extreme Snow Mountain with the Xue Yu Holy Lord of the Extreme Snow Mountain, and each piece cost him 1,000 top-grade spars.

"Haha, that's good!" These ice rough stones, he finally found a total of 1 piece of the best Gui Yan, 2 pieces of the upper grade Gui Yan, 2 pieces of the middle grade Gui Yan, 3 pieces of the lower grade Gui Yan, 3 pieces of the best Rin-platinum, 2 pieces of high-grade Rin-platinum, worth hundreds of thousands of top-grade spars.

Steward Hima came to his dormitory.

"Brother Duan Ao, Ji Ma's official duties in the Mercenary Guild have been completed, and now she is ready to go back to Pengluo City to make an errand. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry, didn't you have a two-month deadline when you came out?"

"But when I came, I rode on your mount, and when I returned, I was alone, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month. ”

"Well, you stay with me in Qiluo City until the end of the Premium Challenge, and then I'll send you back to Pengluo City. ”

"But I'm fine now, and it's not okay to stay with you?"

"What's so bad? You're a high-level spirit master now, aren't you?" asked Kitano.

"Well, but it's very difficult to advance to a junior saint craftsman, and it's also difficult to obtain mid-to-high-level forging materials. "Steward Hima was in a quandary.

"In this way, I will give you 100 pieces of top-grade marrow gold and 10 pieces of low-grade holy platinum, and you will try to break through the saint in the past few days. Kitano handed Steward Hima a storage ring.

"Brother Duan Ao, these are worth more than two thousand top-grade spars, you just gave them to me?"

A high-level spirit craftsman's monthly income is only dozens of top-grade spars, and these forging materials are already unimaginable for Jima.

"It's nothing, you can rest assured that the breakthrough is. ”

On this day, the Advanced Mercenary Challenge officially began. The challenge is divided into survival round, group stage and challenge round. The survival match is that all mercenaries enter a secret realm, and in ten days, the top 100 will enter the group stage.

The group stage is divided into 10 groups, each group has 10 mercenaries, and the first place in each group enters the challenge.

The arena of the challenge has 10 thrones, each coded from 1 to 10. Each mercenary who enters the top 10 has the right to challenge three times, and must also accept three challenges, and finally, the number of thrones is the number one.

There are 2,000 mercenaries who signed up for the competition, basically all of them are level 7 mercenaries, and there are only a few dozen level 8 mercenaries.

"Next, please all the participating mercenaries receive the nameplate and enter the mercenary secret realm!"

When more than 2,000 people in the Qiluo City Square heard the command of the presiding elder, they received the nameplates of the competition one by one and entered the secret realm of the mercenaries through the teleportation array.

This secret realm has forests, lakes, grasslands, snow, mountain peaks, deserts, and mires, and each mercenary enters the secret realm randomly, as for what terrain he can enter, it depends on the mercenary's luck. Each mercenary has a nameplate for the competition, and if they lose the nameplate in the secret realm, they will be teleported out of the secret realm.

After Kitano Ao entered the secret realm, a green field appeared in front of him.

"Hey, get some sleep first. ”

The survival match in this secret realm lasts for ten days, and the further you go, the fewer mercenaries there are in the secret realm, but again, the more nameplates they have in their hands.

"Look, there's a mercenary sleeping there. ”

When Kitano Ao had just fallen asleep, two seventh-level mercenaries came over. The two of them should have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"Hand over your nameplate!"

The two seventh-level mercenaries were armed with holy swords, staring at Kitano Ao with fierce eyes.

", don't disturb my sleep. Kitano ignored the two mercenaries and snorted to himself.

"This?" the two mercenaries stared at each other and stood dumbfounded for a moment.

"I'll let you scold me!" The two mercenaries rushed over when they saw Kitano's proud appearance of no one in his eyes.

"Oops!" As they approached Kitano, they suddenly felt their sea of knowledge being hit by something, and they felt dizzy.

"My lord, spare my life, we don't know Taishan, we provoked your old man, this is our nameplate......" After the two mercenaries dropped a few nameplates, they were rumored out of the secret realm.

In Qiluo Square, many residents of Qiluo City sit around here, looking at a large crystal wall in the square.

"Elder Pajero, how did this proud elder participate in the Advanced Mercenary Challenge?" asked Chief Carlo, looking at one of the mercenaries sleeping in the grass.

"Lord Grow, he's just an eighth-level ordinary mercenary, and the realm is only at the spirit level, these are all compound entry conditions. Pajero explained.

"But he can defeat two emperors, isn't it a bit of a bully to participate in a mercenary competition at this level?"

"This rule is always made by us, and we can't openly violate it, right?"

And the other residents who watched laughed when they saw Kitano Ao sleeping.

"This mercenary is so interesting. ”

"Yes, the other mercenaries are working hard, he is good, as soon as he enters the secret realm of mercenaries, he sleeps, and he sleeps for a few days. ”

"I think it's good, you see that when he sleeps, someone gives him a nameplate, and he doesn't have to bother to find other mercenaries to fight hard. ”

"You see, his realm seems to be only at the spirit level, and this kind of realm is already the bottom of the mercenaries who participated in the mercenary challenge. ”

"Yes, it's not a good idea for him to escape the pursuit of other powerful mercenaries. ”

Steward Hima has been cultivating for a few days, and Kitano Ao has also used up a lot of forging materials for her, and now she is getting closer and closer to the Sage.

"Hey, this big brother Ao participated in the mercenary challenge by himself, and let this girl stay here with him, why?"

Thinking of this, Hima couldn't help but blush a little. Although she has a good impression of him, he is the general of Zhongjingbang after all, and I heard that he has dozens of women, so she doesn't like such a heart-caring person.

"But I haven't seen him for the past few days, how can I know that he is his shadow in the sea?

There were too many people in the square of Qiluo City, and it took a lot of effort for Himma to squeeze in front of the crystal wall of the square.

"Hee-hee, he's so bad. Others are fighting hard in the secret realm survival competition, but he is okay and sleeps. "Hima was funny, and it was funny.

"Girl, can you get acquainted, I'm the Ken manager of the Mercenary Association. A young mercenary approached Himma.

"Oh, I'm Hima, don't squeeze it, it's all squeezing me. "Hima moved, there were too many people just now, and if you don't pay attention, you will be squeezed and injured.

"Ahh "Steward Ken clearly wants to get closer to Himma.

"He's, he's so bad, he's always bullying. You see, the mercenaries dropped their nameplates and quit the competition. Hima laughed when she saw Kitano's bullying appearance.

"He's contemptuous of the game and he's going to be disqualified. Ken was speechless.

"Really, I wonder if he violated the rules of the game?"

"But he's too easy. ”

"Easy?, how many can you deal with in the face of those mercenaries just now?"

"I'm only a sixth-level mercenary now, and they're seventh-level mercenaries. ”

"But he seems to be younger than you, why don't you look at this?" Although Kitano looks bad, others say that he is not good, and of course Hima is not happy.

"That's his opportunism. Ken couldn't argue.

"Why don't you cut corners?"

"I said, why do you keep targeting me?" Ken was a little annoyed when Jima said that he couldn't get off the stage.

"Who told you to come to this girl? ”

"I just watched you squeeze in alone, and I wanted to help you. ”

"Can you help me? What can you help me? Can you help me get into the mercenary association?"

"You want to join the Mercenary Guild? It's a problem for others, and it's a trivial matter for Ken and me. My uncle Kenlin is an elder of the Mercenary Association, as long as you follow my brother and me, my brother will help you enter the Mercenary Association. ”

"Elder Kenlin, does he have this ability?"

"He is very familiar with President Carlo, as long as he tells President Carlo, it is not a matter of words for you to enter the mercenary association. ”

"Cut, you know bragging. ”

Kitano Ao slept in the mercenary secret territory for nine days, this was already the last day, he looked at the mercenary competition nameplate on the ground, there were dozens of them in total, all of which were dropped by the mercenaries who wanted to sneak attack him. His spiritual sense is already in the middle of the Hui Ling, and the spiritual sense of these seventh-level mercenaries is generally only in the Xuan Ling Zhongcheng, and the gap is too big, after he casts the first layer of the Luo Meng Spirit Method, they quickly lose their combat effectiveness.

There are more than 2,000 mercenaries in the Mercenary Secret Realm and the Survival Competition, and only 100 mercenaries can enter the next round of the group stage, and each mercenary needs to get an average of 20 nameplates to qualify.

"Can I still sleep for a day?"

Kitano thought about it and lay down again. In the past few days, others have seen him sleeping, but in fact, he has been cultivating. Under his continuous exploration, the first style of his majestic sword technique, "Streamer Instant", integrated the three rules of speed, shuttle, and ethereal spirit into the sword technique together with the first layer of the "Luo Meng Spirit Method", "Mi Meng Ling Stagnation", forming a new dark golden sword light.
