Chapter 115: A Thousand Years of Secret History
Two days later, in the afternoon, Liang Feng and the others, who had returned to the Violet Academy, received a notice and found Eva and Gale Wind, who also lived in the Violet Academy and prepared a room for guests, and the group began to go to the headquarters of the Mercenary Union to assist in the investigation.

"Well, you see, this is Roland City Free Trade Street, where we mercenaries usually barter with each other. Since this street is one of the mandatory streets leading to the mercenary guild, there are many warriors and magicians who like to pick up materials here, and you can come to this street to barter if you have the opportunity in the future. Don't look at the chaos here, but there are a lot of rare treasures hidden, just find one, but you can make a lot of money. ”
Gale was obviously very familiar with Roland City, and seeing that no one was talking on the road, he took on the role of a guide on the way here. The young regiment leader pointed to the many stalls on both sides of the street and introduced it to a few people who didn't know Roland City yet.
And Liya and Noah also listened with relish, although the two grew up in Roland City since they were children, they knew very little about the customs. The two of them may have passed by this street before, but they didn't know that there was such a factor behind this prosperity.
"At the end of this road are the auction venues, which are not only close to the mercenary union and law enforcement, but also in the prime location of Roland City. At present, the core area is monopolized by the eight major chambers of commerce in the mainland, and they are the favorite places of high-level mercenary groups and wealthy nobles, and several spirit swords have been auctioned here. ”
Gale was succinct in his introduction to the auction houses, and he said that the membership fee for one year alone was surprisingly high, and the more respected the status, the more information and privileges he could get. In the most glorious period of the Gale Mercenary Group, he was also a member of one of the auction houses, and he still knew a lot of inside information.
"Hmm. Unexpectedly, the commerce of Roland City is so developed, and the prosperity here is no less than that of Apocalypse City. It seems that the number of adventurers on the mainland is really quite large, and it can drive such a prosperous economic benefit. ”
Liang Feng nodded in approval of the other party's words while observing the surrounding situation. Coming from the official, he naturally has his own unique vision when it comes to observing people's livelihood.
"That's not it, you probably don't know, almost all adventurers are registered with the Mercenary Association, and it is generally believed that only adventurers recognized by the Mercenary Association are the right way. And according to the statistics of the Mercenary Association in the past few years, there are as many as one million adventurers active in the Zhuoya Continent!"
Speaking of which, Gale raised his head proudly, clearly rejoicing in the prosperity of his industry.
"Millions of people? Isn't that half the number of young people of the new generation in our country!"
Different from the passionate emotions of Gale Wind, after Liang Feng heard this data, the enthusiasm in his heart suddenly cooled by half, obviously this number was far beyond his expectations, and at the same time, a strange thought rose in his heart.
"What did you just say?"
Noticing the change in Liang Feng's mood, Gale turned his head curiously and asked.
"No, it's nothing, it's just a little emotional. By the way, how often does the mercenary guild report the number of people?Is their data accurate?Also, are Noah, and Liya and I considered mercenaries?"
Facing Liang Feng's question, Gale shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, indicating that he was not omnipotent.
"I can't answer the first two questions, because no one knows the exact time and accurate data except for the top management of the mercenary union. But the third question I can tell you clearly is that in fact, from the moment you stepped into the Violet Academy, your names and information have been passed on to the mercenary union. ”
"Well, I became a mercenary before I knew it. ”
Knowing the most important answer, Liang Feng was a lot more relaxed. Because Roland City, known as the city of schools, has six top colleges alone, and there are countless other unknown small colleges. And under the leadership of Violet's advanced credit teaching system, I believe that other colleges are doing the same.
"In this way, among these millions of people, the water is probably not small. Thinking of the mercenary union using this method to build momentum for himself, Liang Feng secretly laughed to himself.
"Brother Gale, can you tell me about the history of the Mercenary Guild. Now that I'm one of them, if I don't even know a little bit of basic knowledge, it will be ridiculous and generous to spread it in the future. ”
"Mercenary Guild, that's the oldest force on the continent. can be compared to him, I'm afraid that only the royal inheritance of the barbarians is the barbarians. ”
Gale pouted, he didn't know much about this ancient force that had existed for nearly 10,000 years, and he had been a mercenary for ten years.
"According to rumors, the Mercenary Guild has been around for tens of thousands of years, and has existed since the dawn of magic. I'm afraid I don't know much about what you want to know, but I can tell you about the reorganized mercenary guild, which is a thousand years ago, and I know better. ”
"What do you mean by the new mercenary union, and what's the difference between the old and the new mercenary union?"
It was the first time for Liang Feng to hear this kind of news, and with curiosity, he asked the experienced old mercenary Gale Storm beside him for advice.
"The Mercenary Guild, as the oldest force on the continent. The original purpose of the birth was just to help the weak mercenaries at that time. You may not know much about the history of the continent. Tens of thousands of years ago, the only people on the continent who could use magic and received complete magical education were nobles! Therefore, the mercenaries at that time were basically only warriors from poor backgrounds, and some bastard illegitimate sons who controlled primary magic. At that time, the nobles almost had the absolute right to kill us, the mercenaries who were civilians! In order to protect the mercenaries who were suppressed by the nobles, the church, and the military at that time, many mercenaries began to get together spontaneously. It wasn't until a hundred years later that the Mercenary Guild was finally formed!"
Speaking of this, Gale had a serious look on his face.
"These are the oral histories of our mercenaries, and although they cannot reproduce the history of that time, they give memories to future generations. It is said that although the mercenary union was established, as a major force from a poor family, it can be said that it has been oppressed by various forces since its birth. It was a dark and long time, during which the other three major forces competed with each other for hegemony and renewal on the continent, and only the tenacity of the weak mercenary union was inherited. As more and more people joined, the power gradually became stronger. ”
"It wasn't until more than a thousand years ago, in the continuous drain of divine power and royal power, that the exhausted human world finally showed a hint of collapse. The nine major tribes headed by the barbarian royal family suddenly attacked the human world! Crazy and barbaric, like a flood of fierce beasts, they successfully invaded seventy percent of the human territory in less than five years! Many human compatriots died under the bloody rule of the barbarians, and according to the official statistics after the war, in the 50 years of the barbarians' rule, two-thirds of the human race disappeared!"
Glancing at the headquarters of the mercenary union at the end of the street, the gale sighed heavily, he was lamenting for the people who died at that time. However, within a few seconds, the young mercenary regained his former self-confidence, the light in his eyes was even greater, and the admiration on his face was even more overflowing.
