"Hey, boy. Don't ask, the city guards are not recruiting for the time being. A tower-like man waved his hand impatiently, and then refused to keep coming to join the young man of Spartan City.

"I have said that I will not recruit people, how many times do I have to say it, let's go."

"Don't come, there's really no shortage of people right now."

The recruiting point in front of the barracks, which is a large boxy building that is used for every emergency recruitment, has been frequented by people over time. Those are hot-blooded young people who want to fight the dark creatures head-on, and want to contribute to the defense of Spartan.

For these people, it is naturally difficult for the army to disperse by force.

But it won't work if you leave it alone.

Therefore, some soldiers were specially arranged to persuade these seemingly energetic guys here all the year round.

Wang Chen's face was not very good-looking.

He is no different from this group of young people now, and he also wants to enter the city guard.

"Not hiring?"

Then how did you get into the city guards?

I know that the main god didn't have a good heart in arranging this task, what can I do......

Wang Chen continued to look at it for a while, some hot-blooded young people were rejected one after another, and they couldn't even enter the gate, and it seemed that it was useless to go up by themselves. As for breaking in by force? That's even more for nothing, he wants to go in and sign up for the army, and he doesn't want to fight with the city guards. Rushing in will only provoke the suppression of the army, leaving a stain, and it will be even more difficult to enter the city guards again in the future.

Gotta figure it out.

Wang Chen thought about it and his heart moved.

"Let's go to Old Man Byron's place, maybe there will be a turnaround, isn't this guy the self-proclaimed guardian of Spartan? I guess I can have some privileges. ”

Wang Chen turned around and left.

Since it would be a waste of time to continue to stay here, Wang Chen would naturally not be stupid enough to go up and find him uncomfortable.

"Huh?" The tower man noticed the departing Wang Chen.

"It's strange, this kid has been standing in line here for a long time, why did he leave suddenly?"

The tower man shook his head: "Even if he is still a little self-aware, it will save me a lot of money." ”

……

Hunt Street.

Mystery Shop.

The house was still shabby, cluttered, and filled with all sorts of strange smells.

"You want to enter the city guards?" Byron and Wang Chen sat opposite each other at a round table, Byron knocked on the table from time to time with one hand, his brows furrowed, obviously thinking about something.

Wang Chen had already told him his own thoughts.

The city guards do not accept people.

And Wang Chen wanted to go in.

That's why I came to Byron for help.

After a while, Byron loosened his tightly locked brows and said, "The city guard is usually full of 5,000 people, not more, not less. Unless there is a war, a large number of strong men will be urgently recruited to temporarily participate in the defense of the city. It's hard for you to want to go in like this now......"

The main god should not open an impossible task, there must be some way to enter the city guard, or ...... Is the time yet?

Wang Chen asked a little unwillingly: "Master Byron, can't you, as the guardian of Spartan City, help me with this little favor?" If I could, I would be willing to pay a certain amount of merit in exchange for this opportunity to enter the City Guard. ”

Wang Chen's resolute attitude made Byron stunned.

Merit is a valuable thing, and no one understands this better than him, the owner of the mysterious shop, and the merit exchange system is set up by himself, so he naturally understands the value of merit better.

Merit can be countless times more precious than ordinary money.

Wang Chen was willing to take out such a precious thing for the sake of a mere city guard quota?

This came as a big surprise to Byron.

It stands to reason that Wang Chen's own strength has reached the fourth order, and he is a mysterious and powerful summoner, there is really no reason to enter the city guard, although this department belongs to the important position of guarding the city, but there is something in it that can attract a strong person like Wang Chen to enter, and it looks like he wants to enter at any cost, which is unlikely.

The City Guards, to put it bluntly, are not much different from ordinary armies.

There are no treasures or big secrets. When the war is tight, it will temporarily recruit a large number of hunting team powerhouses to enter it and act as temporary soldiers.

In this way, even if there is a secret, it will already be known all over the city.

Byron really couldn't figure out why Wang Chen wanted to enter such a place so much.

"What do you think, Master Byron?" Wang Chen asked again.

"Ugh." Byron sighed.

"No need, the merits are precious, old man, let me help you go to the city lord and try it. But there has to be a reason why you want to join the City Guard. Sue me, I can talk to the city lord, otherwise, I won't be able to open my mouth for no reason. ”

"This ......" Wang Chen was a little speechless.

Speaking of reasons, that's what his second main quest stipulates, and that's the only reason. But how can I tell you about this? Wang Chen's mind was spinning in his heart, and after thinking about it, his face suddenly showed bitterness.

Wang Chen said: "Master Byron, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I really have a last resort, and I really can't say it." ”

Byron frowned.

Didn't speak.

Wang Chen continued: "However, I will definitely not do anything harmful to Spartan City, and it will only be good for the city guards. I hope Master Byron, you can understand......"

"That's it."

Byron sighed.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, I'll help you go for a trip, old man."

Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then thank you." ”

Byron waved his hand, got up and walked out the door.

"Let's go."

"Let's go." Wang Chen nodded.

……

In the wilderness, a group of human scouts patrol back and forth.

The movements of the dark creatures around Spartan City need to be investigated and reported every day, so that they can keep abreast of the movements of those evil monsters, so that humans will not be helpless in the face of emergencies.

These scouts are like human eyes.

"Stop!" A man dressed as a scout captain suddenly waved his hand and gave orders.

A group of five scouts all stopped.

"You, go to the left front and investigate."

"You, ...... on the right"

"You ......"

After the tasks were assigned, the scout captain said to all the team members: "Everyone be careful, there are a lot of dark biomes in this area, don't be too careless." ”

"Okay."

"Don't worry, Captain."

"Haha, we're not recruits."

A group of scouts scattered and probed with a grin, apparently having been scouts in the wilderness for many years, they had developed a tenacity and did not take the danger to heart. But they remained cautious in their actions and did not let their guard down.

Soon, the team returned.

The smiles on the faces of the scout team members disappeared, everyone frowned, and the scout captain's heart sank.

"How?" The scout captain hurriedly asked.

"Captain, it doesn't seem quite right, I haven't detected a trace of dark creature activity here, it stands to reason that the previous area should belong to the territory of a dark biome, and they should often be active in the territory, but the signs I have detected just now indicate that at least in the last three days, there are no signs of dark creature activity in this territory, and the traces of this activity are becoming fewer and fewer......"

Another scout said, "I'm on my side too." ”

The scouts looked at the other man.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just like you ......"

"Me too."

Everyone's mood was heavy.

The abnormal reaction of the dark creatures seems to be a large-scale mutation. Fear...... It's not good, everyone has a faint conjecture in their hearts.

The Scout Captain's heart was heavy, but the place to explore was still to be explored.

The signs alone don't confirm anything.

"Keep looking." With a wave of his hand, he gave the order.

"Let's go!"

"Speed up."

……

In the wilderness, teams of scouts kept patrolling.

The results of the scout's previous investigation seemed to be a microcosm, and at this moment, countless of the same scenes were playing out in different places at the same time. The creatures of darkness vanished en masse, the wilderness fell silent, and all life seemed to have vanished overnight.

If the dark creatures really disappeared without a trace, then the scout soldiers would naturally be happy.

But they understand that this is not possible.

Now that something so unusual is happening, something big must be happening.

In this terrifying world, it is not necessarily a good thing for Spartan City to have a big event, and there is a chance that it will usher in a huge crisis. Although the current life is like a cage for human beings, it is not very happy. But at least the people are safe in the city, and their wives and children have a shelter. Not necessarily if something drastic happens.

The atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier.

Eventually, some of the scout squads came together and they began exchanging information.

More and more scout squads converged, and as the information continued to be exchanged, an astonishing fact lay out before their eyes.

"Creatures of darkness disappear en masse."

"Everything retreats from ......"

An old scout captain swallowed his saliva, having been in the same strange situation as this one twenty years ago. That time, about half a month after the dark creatures lost their traces on a large scale, Spartan City ushered in a frenzied attack by hundreds of thousands of undead creatures.

It was at that time that the death lich Halmar came to the territory.

It was the invincible army of the Lich of Death......

The army of the undead crosses, and all things retreat.

"Could it be that the death lich Halmar is attacking our city of Spartan again?" One of the scout captains said with an ugly face.

The other scout captain also had a stern face.

He immediately spoke: "Whether it is or not, the current situation is too weird. There can be no further delay. ”

"The situation is strict, everyone hurry back to the city, this matter must be notified to the city lord as much as possible."

"Let's go!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
