Chapter 252: Mercenary Tower
Dragon Nest World, Valley of the Forgotten.
Qin Shao was dressed as a foot merchant, followed by the two "entourages" of the Great Secretary and the Young Commander, and walked into the gate of the Mercenary Tower with the crisp welcome of the two elf beauties.
The mercenary tower has three floors, and the selection of materials and the construction process are all involved in magic, and there is also a space expansion magic handed down by Qin Shao inside.
From the outside world, each floor of the mercenary tower is 100 meters high, but only those who are in it will find that each floor of the mercenary tower is like a small world, and its space is not much better than that of the Forgotten Valley!
When Qin Shao walked into the first floor, it was in the middle of the ten-minute task refresh, the received tasks disappeared, and the unclaimed tasks were still left on the huge task panel hanging in the center of the hall, and some new tasks also appeared in it, and they were arranged in order of value.
The missions of the three worlds are all gathered in this mercenary tower, which shows that there are so many tasks, even if the panel is not much worse than an ordinary house, it still can't show all the tasks.
In fact, although the central panel is large, there are not many people who can climb into it. Excluding the upper and lower decorative faces, the central panel displays tasks on three sides, and only a few hundred are displayed on each side, all of which are tasks with commissions of more than one million gold coins, or tasks issued by the military department itself.
The rest of the tasks that are not shown are stored in the numerous small panels embedded in the walls around the hall, on which you can query "take 100,000 catties of Ji'an fish, a specialty of the Ice and Snow Continent, and a commission of 100,000 gold coins", "Recruit ten personnel to go to the Hundred Tribes Continent, buy mink furs, and pay 10 gold coins per day", "Take a cloned world AH-64 model gunship, commission 100 gold coins, can be stacked, and ammunition is counted separately", and other "small" tasks that are not eligible for the list, which are refreshed once a minute.
Often, the bigger the object, the easier it is to attract people's attention, Qin Shao looked at the huge panel in the center at the first glance when he entered the door, and then he was shocked by the task at the top of the list.
Da Si Ming pursed his lips and read while laughing: "Take the world's nuclear warheads with a yield of one million tons and those with a yield of more than one million tons, and there is no upper limit on the number - the War Cavalry Legion." Wow, my lord, is there anyone under you who wants to destroy the world? ”
"It's called a weapon stockpile, so it's better to prevent it than to prevent it from happening!" Qin Shao defended Beskode, "Besides, how can a nuclear bomb destroy the world? Like you and me, although the power is not as good as a nuclear bomb, in terms of destructive power, it is better than a nuclear bomb. ”
"And the so-called nuclear pollution, the Jindan realm can be ignored, the Mahayana realm can be refined, and the destruction of the world is a joke in today's real world. Not to mention the world under the cultivation system, that place can crush nuclear bombs into conventional bombs! ”
"Maybe Bescord wants to experiment with it?" The Great Priest came up with another hypothesis.
In the few times she woke up, she had met with Beskode a few times, and it was not that she didn't know anything about Beskode and the people around Qin Shao. So as far as the topic of Bescord is concerned, she has no pressure.
"Destroying a world is just an experiment, and Bescord is not crazy enough to do that. Presumably, he has a grudge against the cloning world in his heart, and he is preparing the nuclear bomb so that he will not be helpless after encountering this type of world again. If you're bored, you can ask for a few for Bescord and find a place where no one is around. Qin Shao made a suggestion to the Great Priest.
Da Si Ming's eyes lit up: "Okay! …… By the way, the first floor of this tower is the hall where the quest is issued, so what are the second and third floors? ”
"Nothing!" Qin Shao shrugged his shoulders and said, "When it was first built, that group of designers didn't count the area after the expansion of magic under inertial thinking, resulting in the fact that there is still a surplus in the space on the first floor, not to mention the second and third floors, and now the rats in that place can starve to death if they go in!" ”
"Uh......" The Great Priest was shocked by Qin Shao's reason, and after being stunned for a long time, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Speaking of magic, where did Riddle go?" ”
Since coming to the world of Dragon Nest, the Grand Priest has been through a total of five levels, and after the third level, she found that Riddle was missing. At first, she thought that Riddle had gone out for a walk, but now that she thinks about it, his cultivation is higher than herself, so he should have been out of the customs a long time ago!
"Riddle," Qin Shao replied, "and he was envious when he saw that I was about to use the power of faith to condense my godhead. After giving up all my net worth assets, I was sent to a world under the oriental martial arts system, planning to use incense to become an immortal first. ”
"What is Riddle trying to do?" The Great Priest was shocked again.
Although the power of incense is subtle, it can make people with different systems become immortals without any foundation, but it only stops at the lowest level immortals, and they don't have Qin Shao's key of time and space to eliminate the power imprint on their bodies, and open up a cultivation path that blends different systems.
Heavenly Immortals were out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of these people, they were just a scenery on the path of cultivation. In her eyes, Riddle's approach was tantamount to stopping, spending a lot of time digging up the useless scenery in her arms, and then continuing on her way.
In a vernacular phrase - idle eggs hurt!
"I can't help but want to go to the world where Riddle is, and then slap him twice!" The Great Priest gritted his teeth.
"He doesn't cultivate for the sake of cultivating, but enjoys the scenery on the side of the road during the cultivation process." Qin Shao smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Riddle seems to be doing useless work, but he enjoys life more than they do!
"We can't afford to be left behind in Riddle, even in terms of enjoyment, so let's enjoy life too!"
Qin Shao glanced at the people on both sides, then stretched out his hands, holding the big secretary with one hand and the young master with the other, and walked towards the door.
Da Si Ming's face was slightly red, but he didn't break free. Si Ming was still expressionless, letting Qin Shao hold his hand and not being moved, with a veil to cover it, he couldn't see his true expression.
The sun was shining brightly outside the door.
There is only one non-military structure in the Forgotten Valley, the Mercenary Tower, but it is not empty outside the Forgotten Valley.
To the northwest of the Mercenary Tower, beyond the boundaries of the Forgotten Valley, a commercial town sprang up for mercenaries and merchants to rest and trade. Here you can find all kinds of entertainment on the continent, all known delicacies, and countless treasures of gold and silver, and exotic beasts.
This town has a name - the Forgotten City!
The atmosphere in the mercenary tower is serious and unsmiling, but the city of Oblivion is noisy and unusual, and all kinds of shouting and selling are full of ears.
In the Forgotten City, you can see the shirtless burly man and the handsome and elegant humble son, and you can see the grocery shopping lady bargaining and arguing with the glamorous elves.
Dwarves, elves, harpies, and werewolves can form a table and squat in the corner to play mahjong if they look at each other. The two kobolds don't like each other, and they can nibble on a bun and bite each other until dawn. There are also all kinds of items scattered on both sides of the street, waiting quietly for the sellers to lean over.
Qin Shao's arrival did not bring anything unusual to this town, because of commerce, because of the shape of the ** race, because of the strong deterrence of the Forgotten Valley, the people here seem to be plated with a layer of "there is wine today and drunk tomorrow" mentality.
They may drink and talk, or they will talk about each other, or they will hook their shoulders, or they will bite each other, but when they leave the city, they will forget everyone they meet in this city. Even if we meet again somewhere in the world, what awaits each other will just pass by, like strangers.
The Forgotten City is more than just a name......
"It's the busiest street I've ever seen so far." The Great Priest said.
"Because they don't know each other, because they know that they will forget each other when they leave this city, so they can take off the mask that doesn't matter if they take it off or not, show themselves hidden under the mask in the sun, and see each other in this city with an honest and unconcealed self."
Qin Shao felt the coldness coming from his right hand, which belonged to the body temperature of a girl who had been hidden behind a veil all day long.
"The higher the cultivation, the less likely it will be to forget, and those who have been lost in the dust of time will also be recalled, whether it is pain or joy. In that sense alone, these people are happier than we are. ”
"If false happiness is happiness, I'd rather not have it, because it will only make me worry about it!"
Da Si Ming pulled out the hand that was held by Qin Shao, the crimson color on it had faded, and the mysterious patterns had also disappeared, revealing the original white and flawless skin.
"It was perfect." Qin Shao said.
"It's also strange." The Great Priest said. She stared at her hands in a daze, she had given up what she was most proud of in the pursuit of strength, and now, she had brought it back from the years.
After disappearing for decades, can the truth return to the original happiness?
"I didn't expect to see a familiar game in this world, Da Si Ming, do you want to try your luck? Do not rely on any cultivation. Qin Shao pointed to a stall on the left side of the street, where a group of elves were shouting and throwing rings inside, expecting to catch their favorite items.
"That boss's face isn't very good." Da Si Ming pointed to the stall owner with a black line on his face and said.
"Because the elves didn't see the sign next to them, 'Elves and Harpies are not allowed to play.'"
Qin Shao walked to the stall and looked at the items on the ground with interest: high-imitation rings, necklaces, pendants, eggs, duck eggs, and bird eggs carved in stone; American-made military pistols, rifles, submachine guns...... It's quite complete!
