Volume 1 Burning Chapter 218 Gambling Storm
Why didn't the Empire send other legions?
Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan both felt that this kind of low-level mistake should not happen in the back of the empire, but why did it still happen?
Li Xiangfeng asked Yu Yuanzheng, but Yu Yuanzheng did not explain directly and clearly, and a vague statement made Li Xiangfeng even more confused.
It is only understood that this is the result of the struggle within the empire.
At this time, Li Xiangfeng felt the terrible internal political struggle, and when did the collapse of the various dynasties and generations recorded in the books not because of the internal strife and decay of the empire, which toppled the entire imperial building?
As long as the Oriental people themselves don't toss themselves, no foreigner can get in, this is Li Xiangfeng's exclamation when he looked at the historical materials before!
The Northern Ice Plain is now closely related to himself, and before he goes, there is one thing that Li Xiangfeng must complete.
Li Xiangfeng felt that this matter was not out of his own selfishness and wanted revenge, and it was not for the evil breath at that time, because he would go to the appointment purely for the people and things he could protect.
In just two days, the various mercenary inns in the capital, the mercenary guilds, and the large and small mercenary headquarters have been dizzy by a small gossip.
On the day of the recruitment of the Longyou Mercenary Regiment, Li Xiangfeng, the leader of the Brave Mercenary Regiment, will challenge Pi Jianyuan, the fourth deputy head of the Longyou Mercenary Regiment, to fulfill the "Battle of the Covenant" set last year!"
Moreover, the largest gambling house in Zhongjing City will also open a big gamble for this purpose to add to the fun, and mercenaries who want to bet can now come to the "Good Luck Lai" gambling house to bet.
The proportion of the opening is extremely rich, after the data statistics and various indicators of the gambling house, it was finally determined that the bet on Pi Jianyuan won 1 to 1!
After inquiring, I learned that this E-class mercenary group was also a small winner in Nanyang City, but it was a good name for relieving the victims! People were stunned, how could such a little-known mercenary group have the ability to challenge Pi Jianyuan, the deputy head of the A-level mercenary group "Longyou Mercenary Group", but they knew that Pi Jianyuan had reached the level of a high-ranking soldier last year.
With a skeptical gaze, there are many mercenaries who went to the "good luck" gambling house to watch, and the gambling house guy swore that this matter was absolutely true and effective, and the gambling money was guaranteed by the gambling house, as long as the bet was right!
Hearing this, these mercenaries still feel that things are a little strange, isn't this a sign of giving everyone money? How can there be such a stupid person in the world, if there is, it is better to send money directly.
The bustling mercenary team gathered at the headquarters of the Longyou Mercenary Group to inquire about the news.
But when I came to the headquarters building of the Longyou Mercenary Group, I found that it was already overcrowded! This well-known building in the mercenary world is now like a vegetable market, surrounded by mercenaries dressed in various colors.
There are also many magicians floating in the sky, and there are also many mercenaries who are watching from the birds, and the crowd is also floating in the air.
Below, there are several magic vendors selling magic scrolls, and all of them are levitation.
"The Great Magician's Secret Floating Scroll allows you to easily watch the situation on the ground!
"Tears sale, jump price today, the Great Magister mass production floating scroll, meat cutting sale, 2 gold coins and 3 pieces!"
I don't know if the advertisement made by the magic dealer is real, but there are still many people who go to buy it, and the mercenary who does not have magic power only needs to pay an additional 1 silver coin service fee, and the vendor will guide you to release the magic scroll, and the mercenary who blesses the levitation spell will rise into the air slowly.
Today is the precursor publicity ceremony for the recruitment activities of the Longyou Mercenary Group Headquarters, and the situation of the Longyou Mercenary Group and the number of recruits, conditions, rules, etc. will be publicized on this day.
The day after tomorrow will be a recruitment conference, and there will be a competition and selection competition in a school field outside Zhongjing City! Mercenaries who can know its rules earlier can prepare earlier, so that the chances of joining the Longyou mercenary group will increase.
So at this time, most of them are mercenaries who have already come to watch, most of these are mercenaries who want to join the mercenary group, and there are countless mercenaries and people who have come to inquire about the news.
There is no other news to inquire about, and it is not because of the matter of the E-class mercenary group that has caused a lot of trouble in the past two days to challenge the A-class mercenary group. It's not about you, it's about yourself! Everyone wants to find out what is true and false, so that they can make a big profit from this gamble.
And there will also be an important competition for the deputy head of the regiment! It will be announced today, and the death of John Carter, the third deputy head of the Longyou Mercenary Group, has made the industry sigh for a while, and everyone will sigh, but it will also make some mercenaries ready to move.
In addition to the hereditary position of the head of the Longyou mercenary group at the beginning of its creation, the other positions of deputy head must be selected through layers of selection, and the results of the public announcement will be determined according to them, and finally after the recognition of the elder group in the mercenary group, they will become the new deputy leader. Even the regimental commander can't influence the change of his position, everything is determined by strength.
The departure of the third deputy head of the regiment, John Carter, made the fourth deputy head of Pi Jianyuan's mind incomparable, and Pi Jianyuan was in the prime of life, his strength was strong, and his position was the fourth deputy commander, and he was the hottest candidate for the third deputy head of the Longyou Mercenary Corps.
It's just that his style of doing things and his background make most of the elders not satisfied, but he also issued a call in the Mercenary Guild according to tradition, so in 291, there will be a matter of the Longyou Mercenary Group stopping recruiting mercenary members and selecting the deputy head instead.
It wasn't until September 292 that the Dragonyou Mercenary Regiment reverted to its traditional activities of recruiting mercenary members.
On September 6, 293 this year, that is, the day after tomorrow, after two years of selection and testing, the 8 candidates who finally stood out will have the final competition in this recruitment activity for mercenary members, and officially become the third deputy head of the Longyou Mercenary Group!
Such a grand occasion could not make the mercenaries excited, and even become a great fun event for all the people and nobles in Zhongjing.
The relationship between the Longyou Mercenary Group in Zhongjing City is complicated, and it can be said that it is acquainted with most of the high-ranking officials and famous families, and there are also many noble children in the mercenary group who serve in the headquarters of the mercenary group, and their strength is enough to be proud of the entire mercenary world.
The reason why the name of the Longyou Mercenary Group is "Longyou" can be said to be worthy of its name! The entire mercenary group was founded by the three dragon knights, and in the past hundred years, there are 5 dragon knights in the list of dragon knights announced by the Longyou mercenary group!
According to the humanistic tradition within the empire, the announced power will always be weaker than the actual strength, which is the tradition of the entire Wanqin Empire, so according to the evaluation of the Mercenary Guild, its Longyou mercenary group has at least 7 dragon knights!
The name of "Longyou" is not groundless!
As long as you can become the deputy head of the group, you are qualified to enter the core management circle of the Longyou mercenary group, the higher the position, the heavier the weight of the speech, enough to dominate the direction of the entire mercenary group.
The temptation of such rights has made the world's capable people and strangers yearn for it!
"Big brother, you see this is a scroll made by the Great Magister! It's so cheap, let's buy 3 of them, and if you look at them, you should be able to see them clearly!"
"You're stupid! Can the scroll made by the Magister have this price, I'm afraid I haven't seen the world!" the mercenary who was called the eldest brother scolded in hatred.
At this time, the eldest brother saw the stall on the other side that was fiddling with the long sword.
I saw a big door flag hanging in front of the booth, on which the word "Imperial Sword" was written in black letters on a white background.
"How much!" the eldest brother asked casually as he walked to the stall.
"Three silver coins, a quarter of an hour!" replied lazily, pointing to a sign hanging next to him, and then the eldest brother realized that it was a price list.
On the banner was written one stroke at a time: "3 silver coins can be used for a quarter of an hour! 5 silver coins can be used for a quarter of an hour!
At this time, two mercenaries came over, paid Lao Dao 5 silver coins and stood ready to stand in place, only to see the old Taoist hand commanding the movement, among the many long swords placed on the stall shelf, two long swords flew out with the swing of Lao Dao's fingers.
As if giving life to the long swords, the two long swords floated straight to the feet of the two mercenaries, and then led the mercenaries to float safely into the air.
"See, this is the real deal, those Western magic tricks are actually some bells and whistles that are not practical, what kind of levitation technique? Don't borrow foreign objects to reflect the feeling of real flight? You also believe such shouts? It's not as good as this, it's safe!" the eldest brother chattered at a few mercenaries behind him with a teaching expression.
Listening to the tone of the eldest brother, it seems that there is a great prejudice against magicians, although the profession of magicians has risen from the west of the continent since ancient times, but magicians have long been distributed throughout the continent, and until now they are only magician guilds in Western countries, and they will play the gimmick of "magician source" and "magician origin".
"Old Dao, let the four of us fly up and have a look!" the eldest brother happily handed over a gold coin.
After drifting into the air, a few people found that they only saw a black head scurrying back and forth in mid-air, and the scene in front of the headquarters of the Longyou Mercenary Group could not be seen at all.
"Old way, fly higher!" the eldest brother reluctantly shouted to the old man who was doing business on the ground.
Of course, like the levitation technique, the sword technique is not as high as you want to fly, not to mention that the sword art sold by the old way is 108,000 kilometers away from the real sword technique.
This kind of juggling can only be played on the streets, and the real art of keeping things and controlling the sky is not such a child's play.
For example, Edgeworth!, which is controlled by a swordsman, controls the long sword he uses, so that he can travel through the sky at will, and can cultivate the sword to the point of perfection, which is comparable to the flight speed of a dragon. Even if you learn two knives, you will be able to have the speed and reflexes of a falcon.
Swordsmanship like Lao Dao is just controlled by Lao Dao's spiritual power to control a few playthings, and it can only do some simple actions, such as levitation, and the more unified the action, the stronger the control, so Lao Dao controls these long swords and floats up smoothly.
"Add money!1 silver coin goes up 1 meter!" replied Lao Dao at the bottom.
This made the eldest brother almost spurt out a mouthful of old blood, but he didn't expect that the old way was so dark, isn't there a trace of innocence in this world?
The eldest brother, who was angry, suddenly felt that his body began to slide downward, and his heart sank and he was about to scold the old man.
