Lonely Smoke City, the location of the General Guild of Mercenaries on the Eastern Continent.

An independent isolated city in the vast Gobi, with a dry climate and constant wind and sand, it is a paradise for mercenaries.

Because it is more powerful than any of the states in the Great Mo Domain, but no one exercises royal power here, and it does not belong to any king, but to all mercenaries.

For mercenaries, this is paradise because you can find everything you need to be a mercenary.

And this could be the gateway to hell, as some of the tasks can cause them to have their souls crushed!

"Wow! This is your cosmopolitan city, right?"

The degree of prosperity in the Lonely Smoke City made Xia Fan sigh, this is the most prosperous city Xia Fan has seen since he came to this world, and even the two imperial capitals of Yanchen and Jichuan are far behind.

Hurry up, all the way, Xia Fan and the others spent more than a month, passing through several small states, and finally came to this mercenary holy land located in the middle of the Great Mo Domain-Lonely Smoke City.

"Wow! it's really lively!" Yingluo sighed excitedly as she looked at the wide streets and the bustling flow of people.

Fei Yi was also very happy, and said in surprise, "Look, there are so many big clothing stores over there!

"There must be a very high-end bathing center and a private club, right?"

Xia Fan seriously considered whether to summon the Spirit Illusion and ask him to send him some gold.

"Lingyu also lived in this lonely smoke city many years ago, and at that time, she hadn't heard of the places that Young Master Fan said, and I don't know if there will be any changes after so many years. ”

Lingyu touched the scene, and a little sentimentality could be faintly heard in her tone.

"Let's all go around this bustling city first, Sister Lingyu and I will go to the Mercenary Guild to go through the formalities first, and then we will meet at the Mercenary Guild!"

Xia Fan saw that Ling Yu seemed to be a little gloomy in her heart, and deliberately separated everyone.

"That's right, Young Master Fan and I can go to the Mercenary Guild to go through the formalities, this Lonely Smoke City is indeed worth visiting!"

Ling Yu smiled and said to everyone, "In Lonely Smoke City, you can buy goods that you can't think of anywhere else, all kinds of ancient books, secret scrolls, spiritual pills, and even auxiliary refining weapons that can provide various attribute amplifications can be seen everywhere!"

If you're lucky, you might be able to find a spirit refiner!"

"Really?!" Fei Yi exclaimed, "Then I'm going to buy a beautiful dress that will boost my mind!"

"Just a new piece of clothing can lift your spirits, right?" Xia Fan muttered.

"Hey, hey!"

Blazing Yang also smiled, "I'm going to find a super heavy pair of bindings and leggings, so that I can strengthen my body and get exercise all the time!"

"Are you a masochist?!" Xia Fan's need for Blazing Sun was really not flattering.

"Then let's go first!Brother Xia Fan and Sister Lingyu will see you again!"

Yingluo happily went to the bustling place in the city with Feiyi, Blazing Sun, and Yan Chenyin, leaving only Xia Fan and Lingyu to walk slowly along the main street.

"Sister Lingyu, you are the fifth princess of the Long clan, this is your home, back home, how do you seem to be unhappy?" Xia Fan asked directly.

"Lingyu is not unhappy, as long as she is with Young Master Fan, Lingyu will be happy wherever she goes. ”

Lingyu smiled and said, "It's just that some unhappy things have happened here for Lingyu, so Lingyu doesn't have much affection for here."

But everything has passed, and Ling Yu has long drawn a line with the Long Clan, so there are no five princesses here at all, only Ling Yu, the maid of Young Master Fan. ”

"I'm sorry Sister Lingyu, if I had known that coming here would make you unhappy, then I wouldn't have said anything. Xia Fan said apologetically.

"Ling Yu is not unhappy, Master Fan should not be too careful!

Lingyu has been away from Lonely Smoke City for almost ten years, and no one will know her when she walks here, so she doesn't have to worry about anything related to the past at all.

If you can accompany Young Master Fan to the place where Young Master Fan wants to go, Lingyu will always be happy!"

"Sister Lingyu, don't worry, no matter what status the Long clan has here, no matter what happens, I, Xia Fan, will always stand by your side!"

Xia Fan originally wanted to ask Lingyu about the situation of the Long family, but he was worried that it would evoke Lingyu's bad memories, so he gave up and directly expressed his heart to Lingyu, which was worth a thousand words.

"Uh-huh......"

Lingyu listened to Xia Fan's words, and couldn't help but be full of joy and satisfaction.

Xia Fan and Lingyu walked along the main street avenue for a long time, and finally a wide and gorgeous bluestone-paved large square appeared in front of them.

And at the other end of the square stands a magnificent and huge hall, magnificent!

The most striking thing is that the top of the hall is carved and entrenched in a lifelike dragon sculpture, majestic Lingtian, all spirits worship, people are awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring!

"Wow! ...... that?"

Xia Fan looked at the impactful Canglong sculpture and muttered.

"That is the Cang Sheng, the supreme Holy Spirit of the Dongzhou Continent, and the Holy Ancestor of the Mercenary Guild's faith and worship. Lingyu said with a solemn expression.

Xia Fan muttered distractedly, "Maybe there really is a divine dragon in this world, right?

"Young Master Fan, let's go in!" Ling Yu said with a smile.

The Lonely Smoke City Mercenary General Guild, also known as the Rising Smoke Pavilion, is towering and broad, magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings, simple and majestic.

"Hello, how can you help you?"

After a short period of appreciation, Xia Fan and Lingyu came to the reception, and a beautiful receptionist with a good image and temperament asked Xia Fan and Lingyu with a smile.

"Well, we're a backlit mercenary group. ”

Xia Fan politely handed the female receptionist two badges and letters that could prove his identity, and said, "We are here to participate in the recruitment mission of the General Guild.

This is the registration badge of our Backlight Mercenary Group, and I also have a copy of the recommendation letter here.

Although the name is different, I heard that this recommendation can also be transferred. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll check it out. ”

The receptionist looked for the information of the backlight in the record book, which included the registration information of all the mercenary guilds in the entire Dongzhou Continent, and it was not long before the receptionist found the information of the backlight.

"Are you the backlight mercenary group of the Jichuan Bang Dynasty?" the receptionist asked Xia Fan with a smile.

"Yes. Xia Fan nodded and replied.

"If it's you, then there's no need for another letter of recommendation. Because your recommendation has been conveyed to the General Guild by the Mercenary Guild of the Jichuan Kunitsu. So you are already eligible to participate in the Draft. The receptionist smiled and said to Xia Fan.

Ling Yu said with a smile, "Because we left in too much hurry, we didn't have time to hand over the letter of recommendation to Young Master Fan, it seems that the Ji'an City Mercenary Guild was worried that we would not be able to participate in this mission because we did not have a letter of recommendation, so they directly sent the letter of recommendation to the General Guild!"

Everyone in the Ji'an City Guild really has a heart!"

"Maybe it was arranged by your third sister. Xia Fan said with a smile.

"It just so happens that the next group of teams will leave tomorrow, and if you are okay with the backlight, I can arrange for you to come to this group. ”

The hostess smiled and asked for Xia Fan's opinion.

"Then I want to ask, what is the content of this mission?" Xia Fan asked the female receptionist.

"What? Don't you know what the mission is about?"

The receptionist looked at Xia Fan in surprise, "Then you must think about it carefully, that is to explore the Thousand Nights City that suddenly appeared after disappearing for a thousand years!"

Five groups of teams have been sent before, but none of them have returned!

So now everyone calls this mission a death mission, and they can't even give it a star rating.

You have to think it through before you make a decision!"

"So what's there to think about? It's right!"

As soon as Xia Fan was sure that Ling Yu expected that this mission was to go to Thousand Nights City, he was immediately excited.

The hostess looked at Xia Fan with a smile, she had seen too many teams that knew the danger of Thousand Nights City but still had no hesitation recently, so the hostess was not surprised by Xia Fan's reaction, "Then I'll register and arrange for you to join the team?"

"Join the team! Join the team!" Xia Fan said hurriedly and resolutely.

"Then what should we do with this letter of recommendation from the Teng Ran Bang Dynasty Mercenary Guild in our hands?" Ling Yu asked the hostess.

"You can take it out and sell it!"

The hostess smiled and said to Ling Yu and Xia Fan, "Now it's very valuable, and it's already 50,000 alchemy on the black market!"

"Fifty thousand alchemy?!"

Xia Fan didn't expect that this letter of recommendation in his hand would be so valuable.

"yes!"

The hostess smiled, "And it's priceless!"

The next batch of teams will set off tomorrow, and the next batch of teams will not set off until half a month later, and it will definitely be very sought-after at this time!

I guess it might be sold for 80,000 alchemy!"

"This is also a windfall!" Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"This little brother, the old man wants you to make this windfall, I don't know if the little brother is willing?"

At this time, the voice of an old man full of energy suddenly sounded behind Xia Fan.

Xia Fan turned around to look and saw a strange old man with extraordinary spirit and bearing standing one step away and looking at him with a smile.

Xia Fan respectfully clasped his fists and said, "This senior, but you want to buy this recommendation letter in the hands of the junior?"

"Yes, I wonder if the little brother can cut his love?" the old man said directly.

"Then it depends on what the old-timers can offer. Xia Fan is not polite.

"Just 80,000 gold coins, how?" the old man couldn't help but glared at the female receptionist with a cold look as he said this.

The hostess couldn't help but feel excited, and her body trembled unpanicked.

All this was seen by Xia Fan, Xia Fan suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, this young lady doesn't know how difficult it is for the junior to get this recommendation letter, and the price she said is too low." ”

"Huh?"

The old man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his face sank suddenly, "Then how much money do you want?"

"No two prices, 160,000 alchemy. ”

Xia Fan doubled directly.

As soon as Xia Fan's words came out, the old man was suddenly startled, and even Ling Yu and the female receptionist were shocked.

"Young Master Fan, is the asking price too high?" Ling Yu whispered to Xia Fan worriedly.

Xia Fan smiled and whispered in Ling Yu's ear, "I think he is too old, and I can't bear to let him go to the Thousand Nights City to take risks."

You said that this old gentleman finally lived to such an old age and did not enjoy his old age at home, but he came here to toss around.

It wouldn't be my sin if I didn't die well because I sold him this letter of recommendation, so I'll just scare him away!"

Lingyu nodded and snickered when she heard Xia Fan's words, and then stopped talking.

In fact, where did Lingyu know the ghost thoughts in Xia Fan's heart?

"Little brother, you're not kidding, are you?"

The old man's gaze couldn't help but turn cold when he looked at Xia Fan.

"Don't believe it, I'm going to open an auction on the black market outside now, and you may not be able to grab this price at that time!" Xia Fanyun said with a light smile.

Xia Fan's business chaos has not been short, and he knows countless people, and the old man's eagerness did not escape Xia Fan's eyes at all.

And the old man's performance of glaring at the female receptionist just now made Xia Fan very unimpressed with him, so he decided to knock this old guy hard, give him a secret loss, and be angry with this old guy if the deal fails.

“......”

The old man's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Okay! 160,000 is 160,000! Don't go back!"

The old man agreed, and immediately took out a stack of golden tickets and handed them to Xia Fan.

"You have counted it, and you can redeem it within the Mercenary Guild!"

Xia Fan was surprised to take the stack of golden tickets from the old man's hand and handed them to Lingyu beside him.

"Young Master Fan, there is nothing wrong with the number, and it can indeed be redeemed, this is ......" Ling Yu also said to Xia Fan at a loss.

Although Xia Fan had doubts in his heart, he had to hand over the letter of recommendation to the old man.

"Senior, you are really knowledgeable, your investment vision is so unique, you are really discerning, you must not be an ordinary person when you are old!"

Xia Fan suddenly made a windfall, and his mood naturally couldn't be calm.

And Xia Fan was indeed a little surprised by the smooth progress of this transaction, according to this situation, I am afraid that he is about to go to Thousand Nights City with this old man, so he should naturally make friends with this extraordinary character, say a few good words, and try not to let the other party have a grudge against him.

"Xia Fan of the Xia Backlight Mercenary Group, dare to ask your seniors, what do you always call it?"

The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he smiled faintly, "It turned out to be Mr. Xia Fan, polite." Old man, I wonder if Mr. Xia Fan has heard of the old man?"

"It turned out to be the seniors of Doom! The younger generation really has eyes and does not know Wanyue Mountain, and the name of the predecessor is like thunder, like thunder!"

Xia Fan praised the other party without thinking, and turned around and asked Lingyu secretly, "This name sounds a little familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere...... I can't remember, who the hell is it?"

Ling Yu secretly whispered to Xia Fan with an ugly face, "Young Master Fan, Ercheng is the name of the sect master of the Teng Ran Bang Chao Chongxiao Sect!"

He is the Chongxiao Sect Master, the father of the Doom who almost destroyed the Elephant Gate!"

"Rushing into the sky...... Sect Master?!"

Xia Fan was suddenly so shocked that he staggered backwards, his face was extremely distorted, and he smiled dryly.

"Ahem......! Lucky to ......"
