Chapter 268: Mercenaries

- Ding!

The crisp rhythm hovered in his brain, and what appeared in front of Lin Bai's eyes were the four dark and deep black characters of 'System Mission', and the goal of this mission was clearly stated behind it!

【System Task】Destroy all the bandits in Evil Dragon Ridge, task reward: silver mage second order, 50 skill points, each bandit killed can get an additional 20 exchange points, no penalty for failure of the mission.

Advance Mission!

It's only been more than a month, and the system has actually released a promotion task again, and now there is no longer any punishment for each task, which seems to have already touched Lin Bai's temperament.

So why does the system have the penalty of erasure when the task is released at the beginning?

At this time, Lin Bai reacted, maybe the system had discovered his easy-going and three-minute hot character from the very beginning, and it was even more impossible for Lin Bai to gamble his life to complete the task, so the system used the punishment that had to be completed to urge him to carry out the task.

But!

By now, he didn't need to be supervised, because deep down, he wanted to be Ellie's guardian knight, and he was willing to risk his life to complete it.

Maybe the system is feeling this?

Regardless of whether it is or not, in short, Lin Bai wants to become stronger at this moment, and the system gives you the greatest support, that is, to continuously release promotion tasks, so that Lin Bai's strength can achieve a blowout development.

"Sure enough, only a crisis can make a person strong. ”

Lin Bai muttered to himself: "If this place is still so comfortable as Nuoer City, probably I won't even want to be promoted to Silver or Gold Mage in my life, people's potential is unlimited after all, no matter how much pressure there is, there are people who can successfully adapt and survive, this is the unique possibility of human beings." ”

With the body of an ant, shake the gods.

Human beings are indeed a race with unlimited potential, and Lin Bai is also excited at this time, eager to rush to the front line immediately and fight with those bandits in Evil Dragon Ridge for three hundred rounds.

But!

The original plan to paddle collapsed in an instant, because the requirements of the system were very simple, to exterminate all the bandits in Evil Dragon Ridge, which meant that he had to kill the leader who was probably platinum strength, maybe diamond strength, and maybe even saint-level professional strength.

As for the intelligence on the surface?

Lin Bai would not be stupid enough to unilaterally believe in the strength stated in the intelligence, that kind of thing is also artificially investigated after all, since it is artificially investigated, there will definitely be mistakes, seeing is believing and hearing is false, but that's what it says here.

Thereupon.

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Lin Bai threw 10,000 of the 20,000 gold coins towards the captain among the 500 people and said, "Give you a month off, this time the operation will be done by me alone, you only need to appear in the martial arts arena and wait for me today in a month." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The captain at the head and the guards behind him should have spoken, their faces solemn, without any joy or doubt, like robots.

This is the Forbidden Palace Guards!

Accepting the standard militarization, they were instilled with the idea that they absolutely obeyed the orders of their superiors, and it can be said that as long as Lin Bai, who had the right to command, did not rebel, even if he took these five hundred people to attack the city, these five hundred people would not disobey the order.

Absolute obedience to superiors and absolute loyalty to the king.

As long as they have the right to command, even a three-year-old child can command them, and although everyone may have doubts in their hearts, it is their duty to obey orders.

Lin Bai likes such an army.

However, it is a pity that he still plans to follow Ellie's orders, leave these five hundred people in the royal capital, and embark on the road of suppressing bandits alone, and the men and horses who suppress bandits will also follow Ellie's plan and recruit from the mercenary union.

That's right!

Lin Bai plans to recruit the top mercenaries to assist him in leveling the Evil Dragon Ridge, you must know that he still has 100 million gold coins on his body to put it useless, if this huge amount of money is not used, then it is really a little sorry for the ancient city lord of Bo who was pitted, isn't it?

Money talks.

Lin Bai once again deeply realized this, he used money to open the way, and in less than five days, he arrived at Tenglong City, where the Evil Dragon Ridge was located, although several fast horses were killed halfway through, and it cost more than five hundred general gold coins.

Need to know!

If he had followed the speed of an ordinary convoy, it would have been impossible to get from the royal capital to Tenglong City without nine days, but five hundred gold coins had successfully shortened the time to five days.

Everything is in order.

After Lin Bai first booked the most luxurious suite, he immediately drove to the place where the mercenary union was, now it was a race against time, and there was no time to waste on such a trivial matter as repairing.

Da Da Da –

After a twenty-minute journey, Lin Bai followed the guidance of the locals and successfully arrived at the mercenary union of Tenglong City, which is only a seventh-tier small city, and the scale is even dozens of times smaller than that of Noel City, plus the city here is in the medieval style, so it looks extremely simple.

The city is rudimentary, and the facilities are naturally not much better.

Naturally, this mercenary union is not as lively as the professional union and the professional talent market in Knorr City, and the mercenary union here is just a place with a slightly larger area and a task window and a restaurant.

Every pro can post or accept quests here, or they can refresh after a day of adventure for a hearty dinner, or a basic draught beer, and by the way, a little bit of a mountain in the mountains.

It's a slow-paced town.

Although it is not as prosperous as the big city, it can be seen from the sincere smiles on everyone's faces that their lives are warm in the ordinary, and even the professionals who have become mercenaries do not have any sense of crisis.

"It's a great city for retirement. ”

obviously has such a vibrant name, but in the end, it turns out that this is a super slow-paced city at all, which is really a bit incompatible with Lin Bai's dusty appearance.

Glance around.

Without time to hesitate, Lin Bai found several wooden exits, and a staff member in each window, but they were all ordinary civilians, not professionals.

Walk up to one of the windows.

He was greeted by a woman of about twenty-three years of age, with long and neat hair, who looked quite professional, and whose countenance, although barely as good-looking, was unexpectedly white.

The handsome-looking staff member smiled at Lin Bai: "This foreign gentleman, if you want to take the task, please go to the announcement board over there to choose, but you need to register the mercenary in this city, if you want to post the task, please go to the right to fill out the task release form." Mercenary status is not required to post a mission. ”

"Huh?"

Lin Bai was suddenly a little curious: "How do you know that I am an outsider?" It seems that I haven't said anything yet, even if I want to judge from the accent, I can't start." ”

"Poof. ”

Qingxiu's staff smiled: "To be honest, there are no more than 20,000 professionals in this small city, and among the 20,000 people, there are basically less than one percent of them who are willing to work as mercenaries, but all the professionals with some ability have already run out, so I am basically familiar ......with the faces of every mercenary."

"Coria, no matter how few mercenaries there are, not everyone can remember each of us as well as you do. ”

A big man next to him took a big sip of beer, patted Lin Bai's body and said: "Alien boy, your luck is good, Ke Liya is surprisingly reliable, and she is also kind and beautiful, if you want to live in this city, you will definitely not suffer with her guidance." ”

"Barrons, you're joking, it's your duty to help the mercenaries as a staff member here. ”

Coriya brushed her hair in a bun and said with a slight smile: "And it is also a pleasure to see that you are actually getting help from me, the sage once said that helping others is the foundation of happiness." ”

"Hahaha, the kid now knows Coriya's personality. ”

The familiar man hooked up with Lin Bai's shoulder and said: "Look at your small body, you must have come to this kind of poor countryside to be a mercenary because you can't survive in a big city, but since you are here, please put ten thousand hearts, we are famous for our unity here, if there is anything in the future, even if you can, as long as you can, you will not stand idly by." ”

- "Isn't it, everyone?"

The big man shouted at the people behind him in a loud voice, and the mercenaries who were still eating and resting immediately replied in a loud voice: "It's not rude, Barrens is right, the new boy, if you encounter a task that you can't complete, just come to us for help, just ask us to have a drink here after completing the task." ”

The entire mercenary guild immediately became lively.

This kind of atmosphere was something Lin Bai had never experienced, didn't the professionals sweep the snow in front of their own homes? Why did the people here be completely different from the outside, and they actually took care of him, an outsider who didn't know the details, to such an extent.

Smack!

Barrens slapped Lin Bai in a daze: "Boy, don't be stunned, if you want to register as a mercenary, I'll take you to fill out the form now, but don't make trouble for Coria here." ”

As if he was afraid that Lin Bai would doubt his reliability, he patted his chest and said: "Don't look at me like this, I think I finally chose to stay because of the atmosphere here, you may not believe it, don't look at me like this, I'm a platinum second-order professional, hahaha." ”

- "So!"

Barrens flexed his muscles and said, "If there's anything you can't solve, come to me, and if you dare to trouble Coria over trivial matters, be careful that I punch your ass!"
