Sleepy Autumn City is one of the three main cities in the entire empire.

The city of martial arts, the city of commerce, and the city of mercenaries.

And Sleepy Autumn City is the city of mercenaries, and it is also the most historically significant city in the entire empire.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, before the great power of Christi, this city was already there, the only town in the wilderness.

At that time, the profits of a town were very huge, so many people had evil thoughts and wanted to take the town for themselves.

So the various factions in the town began to fight, and in the end there was a big fight, and the air was filled with blood.

In that era when the strong were like forests, several people stood up and declared that they would face everyone and hold the city in their hands.

Everyone has a temper, and the strong are even stronger, so they also boasted that they would break all those people into pieces.

That night, the lights of the town were extinguished by something, but the sound of swords clashing could be heard everywhere.

What happened at night, no one knows, not all of them were killed, but when they came out unharmed, their eyes were long overshadowed by fear.

When the men walked out of the town, one of them said to a begging boy on the side of the road: "People will eventually be worn away by time, people are greedy, so I want you to control greed, and for this reason, I want to build a country to manage and manage." ”

"I wonder if you're interested in helping us?"

The boy looked blankly at the men, holding a jar in his hand that contained the ashes of his parents.

The boy was puzzled, and he looked up at the eyes of the man at the head, and they were bright and beautiful, like a mirror, from which the boy saw his long-dead parents.

The boy felt very relieved and warm, so he hugged the man and began to cry bitterly, but his constant nodding of his head represented his choice.

The leader smiled, patted him on the trembling back and said, "Then let's call it Christie, I hope that in the future this place will become a prosperous city, where the people are healthy and happy, and everyone's face is full of happiness, and there is no war or sorrow." ”

"Because I really like this place and I love the world. ”

From that day on, a super-empire named Christy began to rise.

......

......

In the early morning, a ray of morning light mixed with a hint of chill in the evening hit, and the sun was just rising, and a pale red line formed on the horizon.

The stall owner got up early in the morning light and came to the best spot, mixed with sleepy eyes.

He yawned, then shook himself to make himself warmer.

He looked left and right and began to look for his first business of the new day.

In a hotel leaning against the city gate, a pair of hands pushed open the window, Mu Shiyu poked her head out, and the cold wind blew on her face without hesitation.

Because of the good rest, her withered magic finally recovered, so her face appeared as it should be, and there was excitement that she tried to hide.

She was by the window, watching the rising sun, and took a breath to calm her mood.

She thought of the conversation she had with the man named Ji Tian yesterday.

......

......

Because of Zhou Heng's injury, Mu Shiyu decided to put him in the carriage to rest, but the carriage was too small, so Mu Shiyu was embarrassed to find that he had no place to sit down and rest.

Ji Tian was pulling the carriage and said with a smile: "Come and sit here, I just want to talk to you." ”

Mu Shiyu said with some embarrassment: "No need, let's sit for that girl." ”

Mu Shiyu thought of that little girl for no reason, mainly because the previous scene impressed her deeply.

Ji Tian said: "She's not small, and she doesn't like to stay here. ”

Ji Tian pointed to the top of the carriage, Mu Shiyu looked over and found that the little girl was lying on the roof of the carriage, not knowing if she was sleeping.

Mu Shiyu finally stopped sticking to this, and walked over and sat beside Ji Tian.

The horses snorted and pulled the carriage north.

After walking for a while, Mu Shiyu waited for Ji Tian to speak, but after a long time, Ji Tian kept looking ahead.

She finally knew that what Ji Tian said was just a good opportunity for her to relax her nerves and soothe her mood.

So she looked at Ji Tian and said.

"That...... It's rude, but I'd like to ask you what's the matter with going to Sleepy Autumn City?"

Ji Tian grinned and said, "Sleepy Autumn City is a city of mercenaries, didn't I say it before, I'm a mercenary, so naturally I have to hand in the task." ”

Mu Shiyu was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm angry with me, with your strength, you obviously have a bigger world, why do you stay in the Mercenary Association?"

Huang Zhen had asked the same question before, but he didn't get an answer, and now Mu Shiyu asked again, also because of his doubts and puzzlement.

"Don't use you, you don't like it, just call me by my name. ”

Ji Tian pulled the reins and said lightly: "People always think that although Sleepy Autumn City is known as the city of mercenaries, it is nothing more than a group of people who have no strength and can only eat and drink in the tavern and occasionally do simple tasks issued by the association to earn change. ”

He paused, then continued: "But the world is so big and there are so many dangers, and the fact that they can survive in this dangerous place and even everyone live their own way is actually very powerful in itself. ”

"Of course, far between, if you have to ask me why I'm staying there......"

"Because that's where I started. ”

This answer is easy to understand, it can be understood as the beginning of spiritual practice, the beginning of life, the beginning of travel.

Ji Tian laughed as he spoke, remembering the days when he and that group of people were a long, long time ago.

Mu Shiyu kept looking at Ji Tian's side face, watching him smile, and unconsciously began to feel at ease.

Mu Shiyu lowered her head and said softly, "You are really a strange person. ”

Ji Tian looked at Mu Shiyu and was stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, many people have said that I am strange, although I don't know what is strange about me. ”

Mu Shiyu thought for a while and said: "I always feel that a powerful person like you will not chat with us calmly like an ordinary person, I think ordinary people will have some strange tempers, if you want to say why you are strange, it is probably too ordinary, which makes people a little incredible." ”

At this time, the carriage had entered the mountain road, the spring breeze was blowing, the green leaves were blowing in the wind, on the top of the carriage, the little girl opened her eyes at some point, she looked at the sky, and did not know what she was thinking.

At this time, Mu Shiyu thought of something, hesitated for a moment and said, "You just said that you are a mercenary." Do you want to go back to complete the mission?"

Ji Tian snorted and said, "What's wrong?"

Mu Shiyu suddenly became excited and asked, "I want to ask you to help me, I don't know if it's okay?"

Ji Tian was silent for a while, and suddenly asked rhetorically: "If you want to, you can naturally post a task in the association, I believe that there will definitely be many people to help you, why are you looking for me." ”

Mu Shiyu's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "I also had such thoughts, but ...... I'm a bit of a special person, and if I post a task, they might be the first to find us. ”

In the past, they also issued tasks in the local mercenary association, but no one was willing to help, some looked at them strangely, and some looked at them like idiots, and they didn't find them, but someone who knew reported them, putting them in crisis again.

Ji Tian thought about the person named Huang Zhen before, and didn't speak.

Mu Shiyu saw that Ji Tian had not spoken, thinking that he was afraid that it would be too dangerous, so he should not be silent, and his expression was a little sluggish.

Ji Tian saw that Mu Shiyu's expression was a little wrong, and he thought of something, and comforted: "Don't be like this, I haven't spoken yet." ”

Mu Shiyu raised her head very quickly when she heard this, and said unconvinced: "Are you willing to help me?"

Ji Tian looked up at the sky and said, "It's an idiot if you don't make money." ”

"So, what do you need me to do?" Ji Tian looked at her and said, "What is our mission?"

Mu Shiyu looked serious and said, "If I can, I want to know your true strength, so that I can give the task according to the situation." ”

Ji Tian thought about it, and said with some disbelief: "Strength, it should be the Nine Realms Divine Venerable." It's been too long, and I'm not sure if it's or not, but I don't think it's lower than the Sage Mirror. ”

As they walked through the mountains, the two cliffs formed a gap, and occasionally stones fell off and a layer of dust was raised.

The horse sped up, thinking that the dust was making it a little uncomfortable.

Mu Shiyu sat in front of the carriage and looked at it, the wind mixed with dust and dust was coming, and her eyes were a little dazed, because she was a little surprised.

Or, quite shocked.

Her fingers stiffened slightly, her face froze slightly, her tone was trembling, and she said in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

Ji Tian knew that she would have this kind of reaction, so he pretended to be unhappy and said, "What do you mean I'm really not sure, will I still lie to you?"

"No, no, no, no......"

Mu Shiyu's head shook like a rattle, but she still said cautiously: "Really?"

Ji Tian laughed and said, "Really." ”

When she heard this, she lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she muttered to herself but smiled: "Great, great......"

She had thought that Ji Tian was between the Seven Mirror King Mirror, or the Eight Mirror Sage Mirror, thinking that as long as she could hold back the imperial army in the city.

She really didn't expect that the life-saving straw she encountered turned out to be the top existence in this world.

Christie, it's really saved.

Ji Tian raised his head, thinking about whether the wind was strong today, whether it would cool down at night, and what to eat at night.

At this time, he felt that his shoulders were sinking slightly, he squinted and forgot the past, and found that Mu Shiyu had fallen asleep at some point, and there was still a tear stain in the corner of his eye.

Thinking about the long-term tiredness, tension, and the side effects of the depletion of her magic power, she couldn't bear it anymore in this moment.

Ji Tian sighed lightly, glanced back at the little girl, and said helplessly: "What is this, am I a mercenary or a nanny......

The little girl sat up at this point, looked at him, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Ji Tian seemed to feel nostalgic and said, "Yes, after all, we haven't been back to see it for a long time, so let's help them by the way." ”

"Whatever you want. The little girl lowered her eyelashes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Oh, it's over. Ji Tian suddenly thought of something, and said distressedly: "I forgot to discuss the issue of remuneration with them just now. ”

......

......

Mu Shiyu looked at the note in her hand, which simply explained that Zhou Heng had not woken up yet, so she threw him to the opposite room to rest, and if she saw the note, she would go downstairs as soon as possible.

Mu Shiyu smiled, opened the door and walked out, she went to the opposite room first, found that the door was not locked, pushed the door and saw that Zhou Heng still had no signs of waking up, and after thinking about it, she also left him a note to tell him not to worry.

Then she walked downstairs, and at a glance she saw Ji Tian and the little girl at the gate, and she knew where she was going when she thought about it, so she trotted over and said, "Are you going to the Mercenary Association?"

Ji Tian nodded, greeted the boss and said a few words before saying, "The Mercenary Association is naturally going to go, but we still have to eat something first." ”
