Chapter 81: The Old Man
At the east gate of Dead City there is a central plaza of astonishing size.
This is the first stop for most of the Dead City Pro teams before leaving Dead City and entering the Jedi Dead Lands.
Most people choose to assemble here, especially those who have temporarily assembled mercenary teams and their mercenaries.
At this time, the sky was still bright, and thousands of professionals had gathered in the central square, but it still seemed wide and not crowded at all.
A large number of professionals have already chatted directly in the square, and the atmosphere is lively, looking for people, temporarily forming teams, pulling relationships with each other, and flirting and scolding......
As professionals with today and no tomorrow, most of them are quite cheerful people, and they can't do a squirming and pinching posture.
In the corners of the crowd, there was a duo of one old and one young who stood out from the crowd and was obviously out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.
The old man is an old man in the true sense of the word.
An ordinary person.
As a professional, even when you are old, due to the protection of the power of your profession, the skin of your whole body will still exude a kind of vitality, and there will never be age spots full of age spots.
But this old man's face was covered with old age spots the size of copper coins, and even if he was just sitting, he exuded a kind of exhaustion.
It is clear that this is an ordinary person.
At this moment, the old man was sitting in a small pavilion at the corner of the central square, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Beside him was a young swordsman, a swordsman class who at first glance looked completely different from the professionals around him.
It was a thin-looking black-haired young man, about 26 or 7 years old, wearing a blue coarse cloth shirt with a white width in the middle and dark trousers.
A belt was tied diagonally around his chest, connected to the scabbard behind his back, and a long sword with a wide palm width that was not finely crafted was quietly inserted into it, carrying it behind the young man.
At this moment, the young man seemed very irritable, and he kept walking around impatiently.
Li Yi is a student at Qinglong College in Huaxia Province.
As an elite professional level, Li Yi is considered a man of the year even in the genius Qinglong Academy.
He was originally a popular candidate for the next student council president of Qinglong College.
In fact, he has always had the upper hand among several candidates.
Especially if he can get the support of this old man in front of him, he can even be sure that he will win the throne of the next student union president of Qinglong Academy in advance.
That's a remarkable achievement.
Qinglong College, even in Chang'an, the capital of Huaxia Prefecture, which can be seen everywhere in institutions of higher learning, is also the number one institution of higher learning.
Having the experience of becoming the president of the student union during his time in such a college will make Li Yi's life smooth in the future.
There is no room for error, and it is about his future.
Therefore, Li Yi sold a lot of favors to get this opportunity to be Professor Gao's bodyguard.
For this opportunity, he paid a big price.
Professor Gao Yunxiang Gao, even though he is just an ordinary person, as one of the world's leading scholars and a recognized leader in the discipline of the three major countries in the field of environmental abysis, his energy in the Blue Dragon Academy is amazing.
It can be said that as long as Professor Gao Yunxiang has the support, his becoming the president of the student union of Qinglong College will become an upcoming fact.
It's just that Li Yi is very annoyed now, very annoying and annoying.
As Professor Gao's bodyguard, Li Yi's duty is to protect Professor Gao Yunxiang when he enters the field area to conduct environmental investigations.
Originally, this was just a very easy job, and Li Yi has always done a good job.
For safety reasons, they have not been able to move more than five kilometers around the city all along.
Li Yi, who has elite professional-level strength, naturally has no pressure on this.
For so long, Professor Gao Yunxiang has not encountered any real risks.
But I don't know what kind of madness Professor Gao Yunxiang had, after entering the Dead City, he suddenly changed his original itinerary, and suddenly prepared to enter the Jedi of the Land of the Dead to conduct field investigations.
This decision caught Li Yi off guard.
After all, even if he wanted to protect the professor alone and enter and exit the land of the dead safely, such a Jedi would be impossible.
"Professor, would you like to wait a few more days?
In three days at most, I can summon a group of people from the academy to assist you in your research. ”
After hesitating for a long time, Li Yi couldn't help but persuade again.
Even if it may cause the professor's dissatisfaction, it still can't help but say it!
Although this Dead Domain City is just a small city in the county of the Six Kingdoms, which is one of the three states in the Kyushu of China.
For a person like him who came from Huaxia Mansion and had seen the world, it could only be said that it could only be regarded as a safe zone, and there was no danger at all.
But this place of death is no ordinary place.
As the first offshoot of the Great Jedi Mirage, the Dead Lands are among the most dangerous among the Jedi.
He had to find enough helpers, enough helpers he could trust.
"Why bother, didn't I hire a mercenary group to help?"
The old man opened his eyes and looked at Li Yi.
Only in this moment will you understand what it means that a pair of eyes saves a face.
Before the old man opened his eyes, all you saw was a lifeless old man, and if you count the old age spots on his face, this person really looked a little annoying and unspeakable.
But once paired with his pair of wise eyes, this is the image of an old wise man who is like a fake.
A wise man in his twilight years who naturally respects him.
"But this mercenary group is too much..."
This mercenary group is also too unreliable.
There were only seven people in the whole group, and one of them was added in temporarily.
It was only a few days after joining the team, and I didn't even have a team run-in period.
If that's all there is to it, I heard that one of the seven mercenaries is a student who is still in his third year of high school.
A senior high school student who hasn't even experienced the college entrance examination.
What can a senior in high school do? Do you want to help grandma catch the little flower cat?
Li Yiyi gritted his teeth.
If he can't let such a team help him protect the professor, he is looking for death.
"Professor, you'd better wait a few more days before you go!
Two days, two days at most, and I can muster enough people to come and assist you in your research. ”
Although Liuguo County is located in Yongzhou, one of the three states in the Kyushu of China, it is only an inconspicuous place in the entire Huaguo.
The students of Qinglong Academy will rarely have experience in this kind of place, but if a convening order is issued in the name of the student union, Li Yi is still confident that he will be able to gather enough people.
