As the last day of July arrives, the square in front of Poch Castle in Bay City is bustling with hustle and bustle.

Countless figures carrying weapons stopped here, and they were either alone, or in twos and threes, or five or six people together, divided into small groups, and talked to each other.

George Sr. was one of them, and at this time, he stood in the shadow in front of the castle, taking advantage of the shade, and talking to his companions by the way.

"Why don't you start yet, we haven't come all this way to bask in the sun, and this lord won't lie, right?" one of them, a big man with a beard and a beard, squatted beside old George against the blazing sun above his head, fanning the wind with some impatience.

Another person here said, "Probably not, the lord of this city is said to be Alan of the House of Chrissy. ”

"Alan?" Beard was obviously a little surprised, and he said, "I said why I didn't see others during this time, so I came here as a lord." ”

"It's been a long time. The man replied, "I was assassinated a while ago, and I heard that I have been recuperating in the castle." ”

"Cut, that must be a rumor. The beard subconsciously glanced at old George, and then pouted and said: "The second boy of the Chrissy family is very cunning and insidious, only he has the share of assassinating others, who can assassinate him?"

Old George, who was silently on the side, glared at his beard, causing a low laugh from the people around him.

Old George was the guard of the Chrissy family before he became a mercenary, and it was the second young master who was protecting, but one day someone was assassinating on the street, and the second young master was "seriously injured and unconscious" Old George resigned in shame because he didn't catch the murderer, and then it didn't take long to hear that the assassination was actually made by the second young master himself, in order to get rid of a gang of gangsters who had developed in Reef City for many years.

This matter was not widely spread, at first it was just a rumor, but in the end, the gang was broken up, and the second young master of the gold family had nothing to do, he was still alive with "injuries", and his performance was too abnormal, and many people were "suddenly foggy" about it.

This is where Allen's insidious name in Reef City comes from.

"But insidious is insidious, that kid is really generous, ten silver coins per fishman, how much do you think I can earn a day?"

The mercenaries were excited at the mention of money.

"How can you earn seven or eight gold coins, the fishman is very easy to kill, one by one!"

"It has to be our Alan Lord who is generous, otherwise the stars can only stay in the city and can't get out of the city, how can there be such an opportunity to make money!"

"Little Allen has always been generous, and many people in the slums have been favored by him, and he is a very good man. ”

"Hey, cunning good guy. ”

"Don't say it, I always feel that he deliberately let others know that he did this kind of thing, otherwise as long as he is a normal person, whether it is true or not, and is assassinated, it is impossible to swagger out to play in a few days, it is too abnormal. ”

"Parker is thinking too much, what good is it for him to say that he is insidious and cunning?"

"You'll have to ask poor old George. ”

Old George: "...."

The mercenaries gathered together to chat, but it didn't take long for them to stop.

With the opening of the castle gates, Bay City has officially opened registration for this event to recruit mercenaries against the fishmen.

The mercenaries from Reef City, the local mercenaries from Bay City, and the mercenaries from the surrounding cities hurriedly lined up to sign up. Under the guidance of Allen's guards, they were quite orderly, and in the face of this kind of money-making work, they did not make too much trouble.

However, after signing up, some people couldn't help but stir up trouble.

A group of mercenaries, led by a tall, thin man with red hair, surrounded another group of mercenaries who had just finished reporting and were about to leave.

The other group of mercenaries consisted of only four people, led by a tall blonde woman with a bumpy figure and a delicate face, but dressed like a man's wife.

At this time, she was clasping her hands on her chest, staring coldly at the mercenaries surrounding her.

The blonde's face was calm, but the four companions behind her were not so calm, and one of them, Humpty Dumpty, yelled at the red-haired, thin tall man on the other side, "Gary, what are you going to do?

The tall and red-haired man named Gary glanced at Humpty Dumpty with disdain, and said, "I don't have time to pay attention to you, a waste who only hides behind women." ”

"You!"

Humpty Dumpty was furious, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to step forward, but was pulled by his companion next to him: "Don't be impulsive, he deliberately stimulated you." ”

Gary didn't even look at the situation on the short man's side, he looked at the blonde, licked his lips, and said in a resentful tone: "Katerina, you bitch, you dare to show up this time!"

The four behind the blonde were furious, and even the mercenaries who had stopped their companions before were too careless, and in the midst of a choking sound of gold and iron, they drew their weapons, but they were stopped by the captain.

Raising her hand to stop her teammates' behavior, the blonde sneered unto be outdone: "Gary, raised by a bitch, the old lady has never hidden, you slut don't dare to seek revenge on me, just say it, don't talk about how powerful you are!"

The mercenaries around "Haha" did not seem surprised by the reaction of the blonde girl, but were happy because of the words.

"What fun!" Gary yelled at the crowd, and his men stared around.

"Hmph, I can't talk about people, I'm angry at us, Gary has this ability!"

"With such a bad temper, I don't know how to be the captain, but the people of the Gary Mercenary Regiment can stand it. ”

"Hasn't he always been like this, grumpy like eating a firebird's egg? ”

"Nothing, be quiet, don't be heard by them, these people are not easy to mess with. ”

The mercenaries who watched the excitement around whispered about this, but they were obviously afraid of the red-haired, thin and tall people, and did not dare to point their fingers blatantly.

Until—

"I heard that Gary has been pursuing Katerina for a long time, but he has never pursued it, and in the end, he became angry and went against others everywhere, and I guess this time is the same. ”

A loud voice appeared in the crowd that seemed to be explaining, pretending to whisper, but because the voice was surprisingly loud, it was heard by all the people around him.

Gary was furious, he turned his head to look at the crowd, trying to find the person who spoke, but just after looking over, someone spoke in the other direction: "Gary accidentally injured there on a mission, it can't be humane at all, this matter is known to the mercenary circle in Reef City, it is strange that Katerina accepts him, and the ** of those taverns flatters him everywhere; ”

"Oh!"

The local mercenaries in the surrounding Bay City were obviously a little excited when they heard this, they had never seen Gary before, and they were not so afraid of him and the mercenary group behind him, so naturally they didn't care about it.

Even the mercenaries of Reef City showed their different colors because of this.

The question of whether Gary can be humane has always been the talk of the mercenaries in Reef City after dinner, but it is only used to make fun of it in private, as the party Gary is strong and domineering, no one dares to say so on the surface; It is self-evident who the murderer is.

Gary was visibly angry when this scandal was told in front of so many people, and he didn't care about looking for the target just now, and he didn't care about the hatred with the blonde anymore, but roared loudly and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

With the oozing roar, the surrounding area was noticeably silent, but only for a moment.

"Hey, what is there to say about this kind of news that has been known to all the mercenaries in Reef City, let me tell you, Gary is not only inhumane, he is still a, this matter is not known to ordinary people, I once lived in the porcupine hotel, next door is Gary and his male companion, you all know, the soundproofing of the porcupine hotel is not very good, I didn't sleep well all night, that sound, oops, I want to vomit when I think about it!"

"Really? is he above or below?"

"I don't know, I just hear voices, and I don't see anyone, but I think he's definitely not the one above because of that. ”

As soon as these words appeared, it was difficult to keep calm around them anymore, and this time it was not only the mercenaries of Bay City, but also the ones of Reef City:

"Really, why haven't I heard of this?"

"Didn't you hear clearly, this is an exclusive revelation, you will know if you live next door to Gary. ”

"It's scary..."

"Fake, Boss Gary isn't that kind of person at all!"

"Little Wolf, you can't be realistic, your Gary boss doesn't have time to pay attention to you right now,"

——

Gary really didn't have time to pay attention to the others now, he was already in the stage of qi and blood surging, his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he turned to look around: "Who said that?

No one paid attention to him, but Gary was even more angry, he rushed to the mercenaries in a rage, and when he saw a mercenary with an abnormal expression, he went up and grabbed his neck and roared: "Say, is it what you just said?"

"No, it's not me!"

"Is that you?"

"I didn't speak!"

"Is that you!?"

"Silly beep, I'm a woman!"

The mercenaries are not all good-tempered, although some people take into account Gary's strength, but they will not swallow their anger when they are bumped for no reason, Gary's actions have caused a lot of mercenaries to scold, and they almost didn't do anything.

But apparently Gary can't care about these innocuous scoldings anymore, and now he wants to find the person who slanders him!

Not only Gary, but even his members of the regiment were all flushed and searching, and the mercenary group was all honored, and the leader of the regiment was humiliated in public, and they were also very angry.

Naturally, no one paid attention to Katerina and her party, in fact, they were subconsciously pulled into the crowd, and in the face of this sudden situation, several people obviously did not react.

are all ready to do it, but I didn't expect that the enemy who had bad intentions a moment ago would now be like a mad dog "taking care of himself"?

"It's strange, why don't so many people give Gari today?" muttered the middle-aged mercenary who had persuaded his companion to calm down before, looking very puzzled.

Another mercenary with slightly gray hair in the team laughed: "Whatever, I hope those warriors won't be found by Gary, I really want to treat them to a drink!"

As the captain, Katerina is more sensible, she feels that someone must be helping on purpose, and now she is scanning the surroundings for helpers.

However, like Gary and the others, she didn't find any clear targets, there were too many mercenaries around, and the voice came from the crowd, not standing nearby, and it was not clear who said it.

Looking around, a figure in a cloak inadvertently came into view, and Katerina's face was stunned, feeling very familiar.

——

Allen, who was mixed in the crowd, smiled slightly when he saw Gary's crazy appearance, although he had already guessed about the long-distance simulation of various sounds in the illusion technique, but today was the first time to fight.

"It works well. ”

He muttered under his breath, then turned and walked away through the gap in the crowd.

This is not conspicuous, with the end of the excitement and the madness of the Gary mercenary group, many mercenaries chose to leave for fear of causing trouble here, Gary's people wanted to stop it, but there were too many people, they couldn't stop it at all.

The mercenaries head to the hotel area, while Alan heads towards the Bay City farmers' market.

The farmer's market is located in a remote corner of the business district, far from the center of the business district, close to the residential area, and not far from Pochi Castle.

The farmer's market is Allen's name, but in fact, it's just a place for small traders who set up their stalls, and they put on a lot of things, most of which are vegetables, fruits, and meat.

It is equivalent to a vegetable market.

Naturally, Alan is not here to buy vegetables, but to look for seeds.

The problem of the Advanced Meditation Technique was inexplicably solved, but the cultivation that was about to start still needed Allen's preparation.

The meditation technique described in Ms. Wind's letter is not quite the same as what Alan knows, it is also a cultivation, according to Raphael and Oliver's description, their advanced meditation technique needs to enter the state of magical perception world and use the elements to cultivate, but Alan does not use this one!

There is no need to enter the state of magic perception, and there is no need to use the elements to cultivate, the meditation method given to him by Lady Wind only needs to plant flowers.

Yes, plant flowers.

The instilled magic power is integrated into the seed, and then the instilled magic power lurks in the seed and grows and evolves with the seed, and when it is finally withdrawn, it will become a strange energy that can increase the magic power of the cultivator.

That's roughly what it means, a very different cultivation method.

Because of the power of Ms. Wind (that green light), Alan was quite able to understand this cultivation method and was not in a state of confusion, but even so, he still had a lot of confusion about it.

Sensei said that now, even in the era of the Big Bang Fantasy in his previous life, he had never heard of this kind of cultivation method, is this thing reliable?

How does it work?

Has anyone ever cultivated?

Because it was so easy to get, Alan inevitably had some doubts, and he even wondered if Ms. Wind was using him as a guinea pig for experiments?

However, even after some hesitation, Alan finally chose to try, on the one hand, because he couldn't find another way in a short time, and on the other hand, because of the green light.

Green Light had already taken him to practice once before, and although it was done under the guidance of Lady Wind's power, this could be regarded as proving the feasibility of this method.

And the effect is surprisingly good.

"You shouldn't lie to me. ”

Thinking about all the dealings with Ms. Kaze, Alan finally came to the above conclusion.

Without Ms. Feng's power, Alan couldn't just find a flower seed and use it to cultivate, in fact, this cultivation method was very demanding on seeds at the beginning, and Ms. Feng didn't make it clear, but just gave him a way to distinguish them.

Allen, who was walking in the farmer's market, seemed to be moving forward aimlessly, but in fact, he was using this method to sense the seeds that could be used for cultivation.

However, not long after he left, he frowned.

Someone stalking?
