People are so strange sometimes, if you tell him the truth, he still doesn't believe you, and if you just break a few words, he will believe it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It wasn't until this moment that Duo'er really believed Li Xuan's words, and she said pityingly: "Little sister, let's eat something here later, there can be a lot of food in this mercenary guild, there are all over the world." ”
Although Daisy wanted to taste it, he knew that Li Xuan had no money, so he still shook his head and refused: "No need, my brother and I will go out to eat." ”
Duo'er looked at Daisy's yearning expression but forced herself to hold back, and he and Li Xuan had a good idea of what they were wearing, she smiled and said, "Hehe, little sister, don't refuse, wait for your brother to release the task and go eat together, sister has a treat." ”
"Well...... Let's wait for my brother to come. Daisy groaned for a while, although Duo'er was very good, but in her, Daisy didn't feel the feeling of being with Li Xuan, a feeling that couldn't be explained.
Duo'er was not reluctant, and she didn't have a word to chat with Daisy.
Ten minutes later, Li Xuan finished posting the task, and when he came back, he saw Duo'er and Daisy talking and laughing, and he also showed a knowing smile.
"What are you talking about, smiling so happily. Li Xuan stepped forward and looked at Daisy who was smiling.
"Brother, Sister Do'er is telling me the story of the mercenaries' adventures, but it's good. Daisy said as if offering a treasure.
"Then do you still want to hear from your sister?"
"En-en-en-en-ne-en. Daisy's little head kept on pointing, and she wasn't afraid to drop it.
"Then let's go over there for a meeting, and the task I posted will have to be picked up by someone else. ”
Then he nodded kindly to Do'er and invited, "I wonder if Miss Do'er can have a drink with her face?"
"Hmph, I'm going to tell a story to my little sister, but I'm not going to have a drink with you, remember. Duo'er wrinkled her nose and said, then pulled Daisy towards the dining area, she had a good impression of Li Xuan at the beginning, but later she spoke coldly to him because of a misunderstanding, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, of course there is no need to be cold anymore.
Li Xuan sighed with emotion, 'Women are really fickle animals', and then followed them and walked towards the dining area.
..........................................................................................
At the table not far from Li Xuan's table in the dining area, there were three black-clothed people, they covered themselves tightly, but many mercenaries had their own habits, so no one thought it was strange.
At this moment, one of the men in black lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, this time the matter is not trivial, do we really want to take it?"
"Hmph!" another man in black snorted coldly: "Why don't you take it, after the matter is completed, we can take two percent of it, which is equivalent to 10,000 crystal coins, wealth and danger are sought, although it is a little dangerous, but after the matter is completed, we can find a place to enjoy happiness." ”
"Big brother, it doesn't matter if it's dangerous or not, after all, our mercenary business is to live with our heads pinned to the belt of our trousers, I'm afraid that the employer will regret it after the matter is completed, after all, this task is not as fair as the mercenary guild. The man in black who didn't speak said with some concern.
"Bet once, it's still the old rule, vote. The man in black, who was called Big Brother, hesitated and spoke.
"Disagree. ”
"I agree. ”
"Okay, I also agree, pass, the third child and I will reply to the people now, the second one, you come over and I'll talk to you......"
At the same time that the three men in black got up to leave, a blue-haired young man in his twenties sitting at the table next to the man in black raised his eyes to look at the three people who left, and then shifted his gaze to the table in front of him, and feasted on a large piece.
The dining area of the mercenary hall is still a busy scene with an endless stream of mercenaries coming and going. Mercenaries are a profession that pins their heads to the waistband of their trousers, so many mercenaries don't save much money, and usually use most of them immediately after they earn them, because no one can guarantee that they will have tomorrow.
"Li Xuan, why hasn't anyone taken that task of yours yet, it's been several hours. Duo'er asked boredly as she drank her drink.
After a few hours, Duo'er's attitude towards Li Xuan also improved a lot, and she found that the two of them were still very similar in some places, which also made her good impression of Li Xuan rise a lot.
Li Xuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm also strange, it stands to reason that the remuneration I give is not low." ”
"By the way, what kind of tasks are you posting? Some of them may be accepted by very few people. "After all, Duo'er also works here, so she knows a little bit about the market.
"Oh, I just issued an escort mission, just get us to our destination. Anyway, it's not a secret, Li Xuan didn't hide it, and told her directly.
Duo'er pondered for a moment, revealing a puzzled look: "It stands to reason that there should be a lot of people taking on such a task, after all, escort tasks are relatively simple, by the way, isn't it not much for you to pay?"
"I'll get two fifth-order earth-based defensive scrolls as a reward for completing this mission, which is not low. Li Xuan was a little depressed, coming out of Benedict's shop, Li Xuan roughly knew the value of a fifth-order earth scroll, it was worth a thousand gold coins, and the two combined were two thousand gold coins, and no one had accepted the reward for the two together, are the mercenaries now very rich?
"Oh my God, did you pick up your scroll, it's a fifth-order defensive scroll, it can save your life when it matters most. Duo'er exclaimed as if she had seen a ghost.
"By the way, Duo'er, aren't there many higher-level scrolls of the sixth and seventh orders on top of these fifth-order scrolls?Why do I see that you treat these fifth-order scrolls like you treat the Sacred Domain scrolls?" In fact, Li Xuan had wanted to ask this question for a long time, there were many scrolls in his space ring, among which there were not many scrolls below the sixth order, but there were many scrolls above the sixth order.
Originally, in his mind, this kind of scroll below the sixth order must be very worthless, otherwise why didn't the original owner of this ring collect a little more. However, both from Benedict's shop and Do'er's performance, he understood the fact that even fifth-order scrolls were extremely precious.
Duo'er looked at Li Xuan as if she was looking at an alien, even Daisy, Duo'er reached out and touched Li Xuan's forehead, making sure that the other party didn't have a fever and talking nonsense before saying: "Are you sure you are from this continent, as everyone on the continent knows, since the catastrophe more than 3,000 years ago, a large number of precious documents have been destroyed, and there is no one in ten about the production of scrolls, so now there are few people on the continent who can make high-level scrolls." Ordinary so-called masters were able to make a successful sixth-order scroll, and thank goodness. ”
"Master, Sixth Order, this is only a mid-level scroll, isn't it possible that no one on this continent can even make the lowest seventh-order scroll among the high-level scrolls?" Li Xuan couldn't believe what Duo'er said, not to mention the Sacred Domain scrolls in his spatial ring, but the various scrolls of the ninth order added up to thousands, not to mention those seventh-order and eighth-order ones.
"Then what else do you want? Let those masters be able to make Sacred Domain scrolls? That is simply impossible, and now the strongest scroll master in the entire continent, Grand Master Roger, can only barely make ninth-order scrolls, and most of them are luck in it, as for some other scroll masters, there are very few who can make seventh-order scrolls, and there are only three or four of them that I know. Duo'er rolled her eyes and said weakly.
'Is this good news?' I have so many high-level scrolls in my spatial ring, and this continent is so lacking, how much can a Sanctuary scroll sell for?" Li Xuan couldn't help but start thinking about it, all his belongings now are only two silver coins, and he used up another one for the task just now, if he doesn't get the money, he doesn't care, but Daisy is going to drink the northwest wind.
"Then isn't there no Sanctuary scroll on this continent now? If someone takes out a scroll to auction, won't it be profitable?"
"Who said there are no Sanctuary scrolls on the continent?" asked Duo'er curiously.
"Didn't you say that?" Li Xuan looked at Duo'er suspiciously, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a communication problem between them, just now the other party clearly said that the strongest scroll great master on the continent could only make ninth-order scrolls, so how could there be a sacred domain scroll.
"Did I say that? I'm just saying that the most powerful scroll master on the continent can only make ninth-order scrolls. ”
"That's right, the most powerful can only make ninth-order scrolls, where did the Sanctuary scrolls come from?" Li Xuan was almost crazy, could it be that the way of thinking of this otherworldly person was different from that of an earthling?
Duo'er chuckled and said, "Idiot, did I say that the Sanctuary Scroll was made by someone on this continent?"
Li Xuan suddenly realized: "I see, it turns out that there are other continents on this planet, why don't you say it earlier." ”
But then he was a little confused, "Since you have such a continent, why don't the people of this continent go to study on that continent, I think more than 3,000 years is enough time to learn all the missing knowledge, right?"
Duo'er was already able to affirm one thing, Li Xuan must have lived in a ravine before, the news was very closed, and he might not even have been in contact with the outside world for thousands of years, otherwise how could he not know anything about things on the mainland, and she finally understood why the other party didn't even know the basic knowledge of mercenaries.
Doll patiently explained, "It's not a continent, it's a sacred place in the hearts of all of us in Dietyas, and we call it the Ice Field. The catastrophe more than 3,000 years ago plunged the entire continent into darkness, and during that time, corpses were everywhere, starvation was everywhere, and even many people finally ate human flesh to satisfy their hunger, and in the end, there was no human flesh left, just when everyone thought they were going to die, the ice field powerhouse appeared. ”
