Chapter 6: Confession

The Mercenary Guild is located in the south of the city, at the junction of the inner and outer cities. The old three-storey building doesn't occupy a lot of land, but it gives it a solid feel. The obvious traces of the expansion seem to tell the story of its history, the history of growing up with the town. People of both men and women reveal a sense of fierceness, which has nothing to do with appearance, it is a kind of momentum, a tenacity and unyielding that can only be produced by passing by death more than once. There are few shiny armors and flashy weapons, most commonly armor made of leather or steel that has been honed and repaired after many battles. There are also those weapons of different shapes, all of which exude the breath of blood, like the wail of the soul of the dead under the blade. Whether it is a calm or a cunning gaze in everyone's eyes, they will basically not let their guard down. A veteran mercenary may not have a high rank, but their experience is not to be underestimated, and those who despise them are doomed to pay a heavy price. But every mercenary, when he walks into the mercenary guild, will try his best to restrain his anger, just like a wanderer returning home, to show his best side to his family. The mercenaries' sense of belonging to the guild may not be felt by others, but Liu Li understands in his heart that the first three people he met when he crossed over were all mercenaries, and in the days he spent with them, every time he mentioned the mercenary guild, the emotions they showed were homesickness.

"Yo, old Wells, what kind of wind is blowing, why do you have time to come to the Mercenary Guild, do you want to invite us to drink?"

"Hey, Char, don't you know the news of the lizard riot in the forest to the south? You see, as soon as he came in, he went straight to our Lil, and this time he must have gained a lot. Liu Li didn't expect Wells to be so popular among mercenaries as a mage. You know, based on what they have seen with their own eyes, Kamal and the others mentioned the respectful attitude of the mage, and they really couldn't imagine that this teacher who was occasionally not serious but was actually extremely powerful actually had such a side.

"Xiao Li'er, you have to help me sell these lizard materials for a good price!" As if enjoying this atmosphere, the corners of Wells's squinting eyes couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth, and he sighed in his heart: "It's better to live like this! Those unsmiling colleagues in the imperial capital, hehe, I feel tired for them." Wells, who was in a good mood, smiled even more: "Okay, everyone's wine today, I'll please!"

Liu Li didn't interject, followed Wells to the receptionist named Li'er, and silently took out the three name tags belonging to Kamal. Seeing Liu Li's movements, Li'er couldn't help but become serious. Mercenaries are a profession that fights for their lives, especially in a three-person squad like Kamal. The novices who are not in the stream are not exposed to too many dangers, and the more professional ones have their own team. Only people like Kamal who are in a position that is not up or down are the most prone to accidents. Even if you go one step further and complete some more tasks, you will be absorbed and recruited by a larger mercenary group, as long as you are not too conceited, joining the mercenary team can at least have an extra guarantee of life.

The reception of the Mercenary Guild also works as a tavern, and the space is not large, and many people have seen Liu Li's actions. Most of the mercenaries in the hall were also in the situation of Kamal's team, and the few who were either veterans or novices who were about to enter the dangerous world suppressed their laughter, showing respect for the deceased.

Whose brand is it. A bearded man sitting nearby couldn't help but ask.

"It's Kamal, they just came to Casfield last month, and I think they were going to try their luck in the Southern Forest. And this little brother, Li'er turned to Liu Li and said, "For the sake of you, you are the one brought by Old Wells, and my sister gives you a piece of advice." It's best to take out something like a deceased name tag in private. If it weren't for the fact that you don't look like a mercenary, you wouldn't have let you go so easily. The guild is a place for mercenaries to rest, no one wants to rest with a heavy heart, and the death of any family member is not a happy thing. ”

With the synchronous translation of Old Wells in his mind, Liu Li knew that his behavior was inappropriate, but he was helpless, no one had taught him this kind of thing.

"Alright, Lil, be lenient with young people. It was still the bearded man next to him who answered, "But Kamal is a pity for them, and Ike has always wanted to thank them for their help last time, now...... Well, I'd better go tell him the sad news. Ignoring the others, he raised his glass and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, "To Team Kamal!" and then put down the empty glass and left without looking back.

"To Team Kamal!" Although the echoes of the other mercenaries in the room were chaotic, Liu Li could hear that everyone was shouting from the heart.

"Alright, Lil. Bring me ale, it's a rare trip, you can't let me just go back, right?" Seeing that everyone's emotions were almost vented, Wells interjected.

"Hey, shouldn't the mage stay away from all alcohol?" said Old Wells's joke, but he didn't stop in his hand, and handed two cups of still bubbling ale to Old Wells, "Find your own place, old money fan." ”

It seems that the attributes of the old man's wealth fan have been widely known, but I don't know if anyone knows that this old man is still a foodie. The others didn't know, but Liu Li knew very well that the most delicious part of the lizard was not among the ingredients that Wells took out, it was what he kept for himself. However, the main problem at present is not the old man's foodie attributes, but - ale wine, Liu Li is now more sensitive to anything that has anything to do with the word wine.

Looking at the two glasses of ale in his hand, Wells nodded without a trace, "By the way, another glass of juice, this little guy can't enjoy this delicacy yet, but two glasses are just right for me." ”

"Sure enough, it's a little brother. Li'er was not afraid of Liu Li at all, and responded with a smile, "Speaking of old money fans, have you finally decided to accept apprentices?"

"Yes, it's rare to meet a person with good talent, next time I go back to the imperial capital, see what those old guys have to say. He took a sip of ale wine, but it didn't affect the conversation with Liu Li in his mind.

"Speaking of teachers, I'm twenty-nine years old. Then the next answer from Old Wells made Liu Li stunned.

"What? You're only twenty-nine years old?" I still remember passing by my alma mater before crossing over to see a high school teacher I hadn't seen for a long time, and the dress of a shirt and jeans almost made the doorman mistake him for a student who skipped class.

"Look at Lil, I remember she's forty-two years old. I've been working here for 10 years. ”

Liu Li turned her head stiffly to look at Li'er, but no matter how she looked at it, she was only a twenty-two or three-year-old girl. Only then did he understand why, when he first communicated with Kamal, the other party's face was full of sympathy when he learned his age. It seems that the average age of the average person in this world is much older than that of the earth.

"Let's go, it's time to go back. While Liu Li was thinking about the question of age, Old Wells had already eliminated the two glasses of ale, "Starting tomorrow, we will officially study." Liu Li didn't notice the flash of clarity in Wells's eyes.

In fact, on the way back to the Mage Tower, Liu Li had already noticed his negligence. The communication between hearts and minds cannot tolerate the slightest falsehood, and how to control one's own thoughts, so that the other party will not be aware of the secrets he wants to hide in the process of communication, Liu Li obviously has little experience in this regard. When recalling visiting her high school teacher, Liu Li did deliberately avoid revealing her thoughts, but she was a little negligent when the idea of "ordinary people in this world are far older than the earth" was born. Liu Li didn't know how much his secret would be exposed by this sentence, he was just struggling with whether to reveal his secret to Wells and Pan.

"Don't think about it so much, although you are hiding your thoughts, but in this situation, I can guess what you are struggling with. Tell me when you want to say it, and I won't ask if you don't want to say it. Looking at the anxious sweaty Liu Li, Wells was also amused in his heart, but he couldn't help but be more satisfied with Liu Li, he didn't hate Liu Li's character.

"Whew, okay. Liu Li, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, also made up his mind, since the current situation is that he is not even afraid of death in this world, then what is there to worry about. And in the midst of spells, Wells could clearly feel his kindness without the slightest distraction, and if so, what else could he hide from such a teacher. Let go of his mind and show Wells how he traveled through it, including the thunderstorm, the lightning, the hesitation and fear when he first arrived in this world, and even the resurrection from the dead again and again, as well as the voices coming from the dark space when he crossed over, these pictures that he had deliberately concealed were unreservedly shown to Wells.

"Oh, is that world called the earth?" Looking at the pictures in my mind, the towering modern buildings are a little less rough and a little more refined than this world. And a completely different system of development made Wells addicted to it. The caster, in addition to the branch of praying for the spirit, whether it is practicing the law or holding a spell, is full of expectations and yearning for the unknown. "It's a peaceful place, but it's unbelievably round. ”

In this world called Ode, Aude exists as the name of the world and at the same time as the name of the continent. The most important thing is that this world is really flat. And the edge of the world has not been seen so far. The four great empires occupy the four corners of the entire continent, and the Jedi on the edge of the empire have swallowed up many people who dare to explore in the thousands of years of recorded history. They have seasoned mercenaries, powerful warriors, and wise spellcasters, but no one or any force has ever heard even the slightest bit of definite news about the end of the world. Although there were many rumors, they were all turned out to be just groundless rumors.

For Wells's description of the world, Liu Li was also amazed. Flat world, and a pretty big world. If you spread the earth flat, it is not even a tenth of the size of the earth. Especially the four Jedi at the edge of the world, which makes Liu Li yearn for it. In the past, on Earth, I didn't have the ability or the conditions to take risks, so I had to suppress my heart and live a step-by-step life. I thought that my life would come to an end of nothingness, but who would have thought that God would give me such a chance to realize my dream. Although there are still all kinds of reluctance and fetters for his hometown, here, he believes that he can find a way to return to his hometown with his own strength after completing the exploration of the unknown. I have to say that Liu Li's character is a natural mage, and the expectation and enthusiasm for the unknown is the biggest driving force on the road of spell cultivation.

"I dare not comment on the thing that brought you into this world, that is, the voice you have heard, after all, it is beyond my comprehension, and I cannot help you more in this matter. Back at the Mage Tower, Old Wells didn't stop there, "But I have some new ideas about your peculiar physique. The traditional mage path is no longer suitable for you, I don't know if you are interested in taking a different path of mages. ”
