Volume 2: The Mercenary's Revenge Chapter 1: The First Arrival in the Empire
The Henasas Empire, located west of the Nabis Continent, is a super military empire bordered by the Frozen Snow Mountains to the east, the Sha'e Plain to the north, and the Warcraft Forest to the south. Its unique geographical advantages allow it to completely shield it from the dangers of many empires in the Eastern Continent, and in the Western Continent where it is located, the neighbor of the Republic of Niltz in the west has always governed the country peacefully, so naturally it will not start a conflict with it, and the Granton and Belle Alliance on the other side of the Sha'e Plain do not have to worry, whether it is national strength or military Henassas is in a state of crushing, the only thing that worries the empire is the long-sleeping lion --- the Forest of Warcraft, after all, the exaggerated combat power of the orcs is beyond the control of the church, not to mention that they are still behind their bodies, and they may suddenly stab themselves at any time, so basically the military towns and main forces of the empire are arranged on the southern front to prevent the raid of the orcs.
Of course, the above is a brief introduction to Henassas as an empire, but there is indeed another reason that really makes the men, women, children, women and children of the mainland know. Since the ancient Hehnassas was founded on the military state, the military has supreme respect in the empire, which indirectly leads to the fact that the children of the empire are sent to the army as soon as they reach the age of becoming soldiers, and the vast majority of those who really serve in the regular combat troops are indeed incorporated into the reserve. The reserve has a last-place elimination system every two years, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be eliminated each time, and these soldiers have become an unstable group of people in this society, because of the perennial arduous training of the reserve force makes this group of people extraordinary, once they lose their stable livelihood, then burning, killing and looting must become their only way to survive, which is also an important reason for the soaring crime rate of Henassas many years ago. However, after the current Emperor Sath ascended the throne, he actually publicly stated that he wanted to establish an unparalleled adventure guild in the empire, and it was directly under the royal family, and anyone who had the ability could join, which is the origin of the largest adventure guild in the current Nabis continent - Twilight World.
Here not only the number of tasks is tens of millions, but also from difficult to easy are arranged in order, no matter how strong you are, you can find the right task for you, as big as the dragon finder, as small as walking the dog and teasing the cat, as long as you have the ability, as long as you want to make a lot of money then come to the twilight, here, no one will care about your past, your identity, whether you are a three-class or royalty, twilight is open to welcome you.
It is with the strong support of the royal family that Twilight World has annexed dozens of mercenary guilds of the same type in the mainland in just over ten years, which is its own faction, which also makes its reputation spread far and wide in the Eastern Continent, and countless mercenaries do not hesitate to climb over the frozen snow mountains to join the twilight world, which also makes the old continent's No. 1 mercenary guild "Yuyue" It's very unpleasant, but it's also helpless, after all, one is west of the continent, the other is east of the continent, there are moats and frozen snow-capped mountains separating them, and the two guilds can only stare dryly, but their mercenaries are not so lucky, and it is common for them to fight for the same task.
After turning over the hill in front of him, Yi Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. The beautiful city appeared in front of him, it was already late autumn at the moment, the cold western continent had already blown gusts of wind, all the way, Yi Tian saw all the desolation, he didn't expect that just separated by a hill, the scenery in front of him was so chic, the dark green trees dotted the whole city with business, a long gentle slope extended along the hill to the city, the silky grass on the gentle slope was dotted with some unknown wild flowers, a few frightened fawns saw someone coming and jumped lightly into the distance, a gentle artificial river surrounded the whole city, in the distance is a lush forest, faintly and the distant sky is integrated。
The city is very casual, there are no strong and heavy walls of ordinary towns, and there are no tall arrow towers, it is completely open, with only a few sentry posts standing at the gates.
It seems that this is the paradise of the legendary mercenaries---- Lampaert City, which is worthy of the direct jurisdiction of the imperial family, and this lush field scenery is really addictive to it.
Yi Tian strode into this city of mercenaries. Of course, before coming, Yi Tian also knew about Lampaert City, because the city has long gathered a large number of mercenaries who have been exiled from various countries, which also leads to the fact that the law is not applicable here, so here you can do whatever you want without paying the price, of course, if you run into stubble, don't expect someone to help you, which is why Lampaert City is called Sin City, so don't be deceived by the beautiful appearance of this city, it is definitely the dirtiest, the ugliest.
In Lampaert, you have to remember that the devil is always with you.
Yi Tian didn't go to the twilight world to register in the first place, in his opinion, the city has a lot of magic, he was about to take a walk first, and soon a strangely shaped building in front of him caught his eye.
In appearance, this is in the shape of a pot, the body of the pot is covered with reflective scales, in the sunlight under the golden light, and the most peculiar thing is that the scales on each layer can be automatically adjusted, so that it will always maintain the best refraction angle, this look knows that it is the master's handwriting, the cost is absolutely expensive, approaching Yi Tiancai found that there are a few big characters written under the eaves of the door, Jin Yuan Guangjin.
"After a long time, it turned out to be a gambling house. Yi Tian secretly thought to himself, he had never seen such a lavishly renovated gambling house in Granton before, and it was still in the most prosperous commercial area. Putting such a big field on an open and honest bet was unimaginable to Yitian before, and today it can be regarded as an eye-opener.
The decoration in the gambling house is very chic, divided into three floors, the ground floor is a huge open casino, which has nearly a hundred long tables, divided into different areas, gamblers can go to different areas according to the number plate in their hands, there are many types of gambling methods, from the simplest bet size, play points to the more difficult dice rolling, and then to the most difficult Sass pai gow, basically every table is full of people.
But generally on the ground floor are a small fight, the largest amount is only hundreds of bright coins, if you are not satisfied that you can go to the second floor, there are more exciting gameplay and more crazy rewards, of course, if this can not satisfy your appetite, want to climb to the top of this pot shape, it is more troublesome, generally speaking, here only receive dignitaries or royal dignitaries of various countries, once you rush in, it is not the turn of the casino guards, just those dignitaries of the guards are enough for you to drink a pot.
Yi Tian wandered in the hall on the ground floor, in his opinion, these gambling methods are too pediatric, these small fights can not arouse his interest at all, Yi Tian is practicing dark magic, that is to say, as long as he wants, he can see through anyone's inner thoughts through the dark arts, of course, the premise is that this person's ability is below himself, so as long as he wants to gamble and want to win, it is basically nine out of ten bets, but Yi Tian disdains to use this ability to make money, in his opinion, this is obviously an outrageous behavior, immoral。
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the Pai 9 area: "Someone is out of the old man! Someone is out of the old man! Someone is out of the old man!"
Suddenly, all the people looked at the Pai Gow area, and said one after another, who is so bold and dares to make a difference here, I am afraid that I will die.
Yi Tian is also curious, the long table is not finished betting on the pai gow, scattered with a lot of untouched cards, a short middle-aged man is constantly roaring "Look at you, obviously there has been a nine, how can there be a nine, you hide the cards! You out of the old thousand!", the old man is more and more excited, fingers keep pointing to the young man in front of him, "You are a good young man why don't you learn to learn well, do this kind of indiscriminate thing, simply lose the face of your parents, what a social residue!." ”
"Uncle, you are discouraged. Instead of being angry, the young man on the other side said with a pleasant face.
"I want you to compensate me for my loss and mental compensation this time, if you don't give me three hundred bright coins today, you won't want to leave here. "This old man asks for 300 gold with a mouth, it's really a lion's mouth, looking at this gambling face, even if he loses a day, it is only 100 gold, this is obviously malicious blackmail, Yi Tian can't stand it anymore.
"Three hundred gold is easy to say, but .........," the young man said with a smile.
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a play, and after being busy for so many days, he finally caught a big fish, "But what?"
"However, I want you to trade your life for it. After speaking, the young man's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and he came to the old man's eyes in one step, and lifted him up with a slight force with his left hand, and his fingertips firmly pinched the old man's neck, and soon blood oozed from the old man's neck.
Seeing that the old man was about to die, the guards and mercenaries of the casino arrived.
"Who are you, dare to be presumptuous here!" The mercenary captain was indifferent to the dying old man, only concerned about his own job, after all, there were big people present today, and once he didn't handle it properly, this fat difference might be snatched away by someone.
"Hmph!" the boy ignored the mercenary questioning.
"Look for death, you!" the mercenary captain yelled.
The young man frowned and didn't say much, his left hand was slammed hard, only to hear a click, the old man's neck was broken by him, and then the old man's pupils were dilated at this moment, and he was dying!
Seeing this scene, the audience was in an uproar, although no one in Lampaat will care how many lives you have on your back, but this young man in front of him wantonly abused the powerless old man in front of everyone, this is completely a naked provocation to authority, it is simply a brute act. But even so, everyone present lowered their heads and remained silent, even if they were shameless in their hearts at the moment, no one dared to point it out, for fear of causing death.
And the previous menacing mercenary captain was also confused at the moment, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him seemed to be young, but in fact his methods were so cruel, with the strength he had just shot, he and everyone were estimated to be no opponent even if they were together.
"Spoiled. The young man looked at everyone indifferently, observed for a long time, and after making sure that no one was stopping him, he prepared to leave on his own.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to kill someone and just leave like this!" a grim voice came from the top floor.
