Chapter 17: Speechless Relationships
At Jack's Bar in the small town of Side, Meredith is drinking with Yellowhair Salter and Charcoal
Huang Mao took a big sip of beer: "Captain, do we have to recruit new people again?" ”
Meredith was a little silent: "Probably, let's go tomorrow, otherwise the three of us will have to do some simple small tasks all the time"
"Yes, you can only do some simple small tasks, even higher ones, otherwise there will be no guarantee if there is an accident."
"The mercenary profession is very dangerous, since you have chosen, you must be mentally prepared, and no one dares to guarantee what you will encounter tomorrow."
Tantou rarely spoke in the team, but at this time, he looked at the captain who was originally high-spirited and determined to make a name for himself in the mercenary world, and seemed to be too depressed:
"I've heard that Starlight and the organizations that support Starlight have just established a new city in the western Panu Canyon area: Starlight Capital, why don't you take us over to see the establishment of a city
There will definitely be a lot of opportunities for us, and the tribesmen over there are brave and hospitable, and if we can recruit members over there, then the strength of our team will definitely be greatly strengthened. ”
Meredith was surprised when he heard Tantou's words: "Hey, I didn't expect you to know about this, are you sure the news is reliable?" ”
Tanhead: "Sure, we blacks are very united, we have an organization of the Harmony Society, and basically all blacks have joined this organization that was formed for the purpose of helping our fellow blacks
Where we blacks exist, we can get information there, and when I went to the Solidarity Association yesterday, I had already updated the information in the western region
And the people of the Starlight Organization have also entrusted us with the Harmony Association to promote their newly established city, the Starlight Capital, during the martial arts conference in a month's time."
Syrt was curious: "Tell us about it." ”
Tantou: "Okay, Starlight City is a technology-based city jointly built by Starlight and five other organizations, and this city will use the electricity of the Panu Grand Canyon Hydropower Station as an energy source
When the city was built, it was built with telephones, computer networks, and it was said that mobile phones could still be used there, and people who had migrated to the past
Only very low-cost money will be charged for the distribution of brand-new apartment housing, which has been installed with all kinds of household appliances, what induction cookers, rice cookers
There's even something called television, and for penniless people, they don't refuse, as long as you can prove that you're a useful person, they'll still give the same favor, while working, and slowly returning;
But the money still has to be given, but you can owe it first, and there are very many ways to work there, and even capable people can work at home through something called a computer, which is very convenient and the cost is very low
Of course, there is more important thing: it is easy to find a well-paying job there, and people are needed in all walks of life. ”
Meredith: "These things are really good, there are some things I know, some things I don't know, such a city
I've heard that it's found on both the eastern and southern continents; I've wanted to check it out for a long time, and maybe we should try it in a different environment. ”
At this moment, a waiter came up to Meredith and said, "Hey, sir, someone is looking for you in the back." ”
"Okay, thank you" Meredith got up and walked towards the back door of the bar, while Syrt inquired curiously about the Starlight City
"Are you looking for me?" Meredith, who came to the back door, found that there was only one man in a black robe
The black-robed man took out a vague avatar: "Do you know this person?" ”
Meredith took it and looked at it: "Hey, this seems to be Shen, are you looking for him?" ”
"I heard he's a member of your mercenary squad?"
"Yes, if he is Shen, he is indeed a member of our squad; But eighteen days ago, he was seriously injured on his first mission, and after that he told me that he wanted to recuperate, and he hasn't seen him since."
"Do you know where he lives, how do you find him?"
"We stayed at the Well-off House three blocks away, but we went to see him, and the innkeeper said he never came back."
.......
In a gorgeous house, in a gloomy basement, several men in black sit together
A man in black at the head of the main seat said suspiciously: "This kid's social relationship is too bad, his parents died early, his adoptive parents died early, he has no friends, and even because his hands and feet are not clean."
Often beaten by neighbors, he joined the mercenary team half a month ago, and was almost bitten to death by a mutant lion while performing a very simple mission; It's just a very ordinary thug."
Another man in black also said, "yes, how can such a newly grown boy be the one who broke into our camp? Could it be that the kid was killed and then his identity was spoofed? ”
Huck: "That way, but one thing is true, it's his face, whether it's his identity being used or he's being used himself, he's supposed to come back and stare at the members of their team." ”
The man in black on the left: "What a troublesome guy, he can't even try to arrest someone to threaten him"
Huck: "Not necessarily, didn't the little mercenary named Meredith save him, maybe this little mercenary can be of some use." ”
The man in black on the right: "Can this be considered salvation?" Judging from how we played him, if we did, he wouldn't have bothered us
I suspect that he stole our safe and brought a lot of wealth with him, do you think, will he see the documents in the safe and go to the Starlight City? ”
Huck: "This... I didn't expect that. ”
The man in black on the left: "You're all sure that he's gone there, so are you also sure he's not dead?" ”
“.....”
"Anyway, we are also going to the Starlight Capital, leaving some people here to watch those mercenaries, and we will go to the Starlight City."
......
In a valley more than 200 kilometers from the Starlight Capital: a small river flows through the mountains, relying on the foot of the mountain on the right, and on the left side of the river is a relatively flat valley, which is not small
The open valleys have been reclaimed into various farmlands, on which rice, fruits and vegetables are grown
There are many wooden houses on the hills, some built on huge trees, some on flat land, and some on mountain cliffs, where a small tribe called "Kazan" lived
Shen Mu used 1 gold coin to ensure that his group was just passing by, and they just wanted to go in to rest, so the guards happily let them enter the tribe.
Shen Mu and Gru had been wandering around the mountains for several days, and they didn't know where they were, so they could only keep moving in one direction, and they didn't meet this small tribe until today
It was only the day before yesterday that Gru's tracking mark finally disappeared, which made him feel a lot more at ease, and his escape mission was only completed after that
Received the reward of escape, obtained tens of thousands of experience and the sword technique of the wind to upgrade to level seven, and looked like there were still tens of thousands of experience to upgrade to level 16
Shen Mu is really bitter in his heart, it is easy for others to upgrade the system, why is it so difficult to upgrade by himself?
Shen Mu decided to rest in this small tribe for one night and continue his journey tomorrow, in the tavern, they knew from a group of mercenaries who came to trade from the protection caravan:
A few days further north will take you to the City of Stars
Judging from the map, this Kazan tribe is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the small city of Biansai, but about 200 kilometers away from the starlight capital in a straight line, and he unknowingly, he actually escaped to the Panu Grand Canyon.
Shen Mu asked these mercenaries:
This tribe has a high grain production and good quality, and during the harvest season, caravans will come to buy grain, bring some necessities to the tribe, and buy their surplus grain to sell in the Starlight Capital
During the conversation, they learned that the Starlight City now has a large number of people from the surrounding tribes, but there are still many vacant houses in the city, and various countries and various organizations have set up offices there
Because there are various consortia involved in the construction of the city, they divide up all the construction projects of the city, so that the city is built very quickly and the infrastructure is very advanced.
The next day, Shen Mu, who was not in a hurry, took Gru to follow the caravan to the Starlight Capital
