The faint aroma of the fruit wine is poured into the crystal clear glass, and the red liquid hits the ice beads pre-placed in the glass, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and the chill emitted by the glass is covered with a thin layer of mist.

"I'm a mercenary, too!"

Larsen, the bartender, sighed again, after the old lion Gucci left.

Leon couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to take the wine glass: "I know, but didn't you say that you have given up your identity as a mercenary and concentrated on being a bartender here, why do you still want to participate in our mission?"

"It's too slow to make money just as a bartender," Larsen explained, "I don't mind going out and walking around if I have the right task, and this time it's the old lion leading the team, and I'm relieved to have him here." ”

"Lei, you must know that adventuring in the secret realm of the Sanctuary, good teammates are more important than anything else, you can complete some low-level tasks alone, but if you go further to complete higher-level tasks, it is not possible to have a reliable team. ”

"Indeed..."Leon nodded: "It's really hard to mix here, the price is so high that everything needs money, and the rules and regulations of the fortress are too strict, and even the purchase of materials is an exclusive monopoly." ”

"No, no!" Larsen laughed, "You first came to the Sanctuary, and you still don't understand the reasoning. ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Savage Fortress, there were not many people who entered the Sanctuary in the early stage, and these pioneers united as one for the sake of Beamon, and their efforts and sacrifices forged the cornerstone of the fortress today.

However, with the expansion of the teleportation array and the expansion of Bimon's power, more and more people entered the holy realm, and the situation became complicated.

Among the four races on the mainland, the elves are the most united race, the human race and Beamon are the least united, the disunity of the human race lies in the large number of countries, and the disunity of Beamon lies in the large number of ethnic groups.

Different Bimeng ethnic groups have different surnames and temperaments, and the strong people who come to the Sacred Realm to explore belong to different forces, and in the face of the rich interests of the Sacred Realm, the conflict of interests has never been severed.

"There is no way for the kingdom to do it, if the restrictions are lifted and other forces are allowed to intervene in the material trade, the fortress will become very unstable, where can it be as simple as now. Larsen said, "If there is no union, who can expect the adventurers who come here to contribute to the kingdom, and once the beast tide comes, everyone will leave, can they expect the garrison to be able to hold this fortress completely?"

"In fact, the garrison is not so unkind, as long as you are promoted to a high-level mercenary, the benefits you can get are still very good, don't you see that the old lion has just returned to the Glorious Continent? The demon core he brought back is enough for his family members to live comfortably for a long time. ”

"The kingdom has paid a high price to develop and establish itself in the Sanctuary, and it is even more expensive to maintain the fortress and garrison, so I think there is nothing wrong with such a system of rules, and not many people think it is unfair. ”

"Of course, a lot of newcomers who are new to this place will feel uncomfortable, as long as they understand the reason. ”

Listening to Larsen's explanation, Leon fully understood, in the final analysis, it was still not enough unity for the Beast Clan, if everyone could be like the Elf Clan, I am afraid it would not be the current situation.

The same is true of the Terrans, there are hundreds of national forces of the Terrans, large and small, if they can unite as one like the elves, with the number and potential of the Terrans, I am afraid that they will already dominate the continent.

"Actually, it's not difficult to earn back the travel expenses..."Larsen sighed and said, "It's just that I'm really unwilling to go back empty-handed like this, so I've been working here as a bartender, saying that I'll find my own opportunity soon." ”

Sipping a sweet fruit wine, Leon listened quietly to Larsen's story, and everyone here had his own story.

The Secret Realm of the Sanctuary is like a huge magnet, gathering all kinds of characters here and staging wonderful scenes.

He suddenly thought of himself, and like Larsen, he had hope in his heart and expected a miracle.

Larsen's hope may be to become rich overnight, and his hope is to one day stand at the top of this world and find a way back to the original world!

The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!

Leon clenched his fists hard, firm in his convictions.

He had a feeling that perhaps in the depths of the secret realm of the Holy Realm, he could find the answer he wanted.

It was this long-standing instinct that had led him here.

"That's it!"

The old lion Guqixing hurried back to the bar, leaned over to the bar and lowered his voice and said to Leon and Larsen: "I have negotiated the terms with the representatives of the Semu tribe, you are ready to leave tomorrow morning." ”

"I'm going to contact a few old guys and get an early night's rest!" he squeezed his eyes at Leon: "Freeze the tiger whip first, and keep it until we come back to eat!"

Leon was convinced.

......... The next morning, the office hall of the mercenary union.

Leon arrived early in the morning, but Larsen and Gucci arrived before him.

Larsen had changed into a suit of short black armor, his bare arms were tangled in muscles, his dark skin was covered with dark purple totemic ornaments, and the tomahawk and large shield hanging from his back were shiny as new, apparently carefully wiped and nurtured.

His fierce appearance at the moment makes it impossible for people to connect with the bartender at the Night Charm Bar.

On the old lion's side, there were more people, three warriors, two shamans and two archers, five men and two women, seven mercenaries, old and young, but none of them looked like ordinary characters.

If you add the three of Leon, there are six samurai in the team, which is enough to break into the depths of the secret forest.

"Hey, old lion, is this the rookie bear boy you are talking about?" A leopard-born female archer tilted her head and squinted at Leon, and her tone was quite frivolous: "It doesn't look very tender!"

This female archer has a slender and toned figure, the twin peaks on her chest are amazingly tall, her long legs and buttocks are beautiful and mature, and her eyebrows are full of wild surnames.

She looked Leon up and down unscrupulously, chewing red gum fruit in her mouth, and the bright red juice spilled from the corners of her lips, as striking as blood.

"If you want to taste it, feel free to do so!" Leon met her gaze without flinching, the corners of his mouth smiled and his gaze was presumptuous, her plump breasts and willow waist scanned, ** naked as if to rip off her tight dark green armor.

The female archer was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily turned her head in awe-inspiring by Leon's gaze.

The old lion laughed and gave Leon a thumbs up to show that he had hit back well.

The female archer turned her head and realized that she was timid, and a look of shame suddenly appeared on her pretty face, but before she could attack, the old lion began to introduce.

The seven-member team he contacted was called the Divine Blade, and it was well-known in the Savage Fortress, the strongest of the seven was the captain Lion-born warrior Odeniz, the weakest was also second-order strength, and the two shamans were Fox-Born and Hawk-Born.

Odeniz is a third-level top-level mad soul warrior, in his fifties this year, with short blonde hair and is very powerful.

He didn't say much, but he gave him a very calm and reliable feeling that the lion-born warrior and Gucci were old friends and knew each other very well.

And the female archer Fei Li, who made fun of Leon, was a third-level marksman, and she was also a veteran member of the Holy Blade.

There are also several samurai and shamans who are not young, all of them are senior mercenaries, and such a team can be said to be a guarantee of safety for walking in the secret forest.

"Boy, our Divine Blade usually doesn't cooperate with newcomers, this time it's completely looking at the face of the old lion!"

After introducing each other, Fei Li said to Leon: "If you drag the team back, we will not hesitate to kick you out, so you have to think about it!"

"Fei Li!" Odeniz frowned, he felt that Fei Li was too aggressive.

"Don't worry, if you really drag it back, I don't need you to say it, I will take the initiative to leave..."Leon said lightly: "But now, we are teammates! ”

When he said the last sentence, his gaze deliberately fell on Fei Li's chest again.

"You ..." The female archer was suddenly angry, and her chest rose and fell even more magnificently.

"Alright, you two don't quarrel!" Odniz stepped forward to play the round: "We can go, the representative of the Semu tribe is still waiting for us!"

He was the first to walk out the door, and the rest of the team immediately followed, and the female archer glared fiercely at Leon and followed.

"Isn't there anyone else?

Gu Qi smiled and said: "No one grabbed such a task, I went to the union last night and took it directly in the name of the squad, so no one will come again." ”

"Originally, Odeniz wanted to rest for a few days, and their team had just returned from a mission, but I persuaded them, so Fei Li Xiaonizi was very unhappy. ”

He smiled, lowered his voice and said: "Fei Li is the daughter of Odeniz, you have to be careful if you offend her, don't blame the old brother for not reminding you when the time comes!"

"Old lion, what are you saying bad about me again?"

The leopard girl who walked in front had very sensitive ears, and she actually heard it, turned her head and glared at her eyes, and said, "Beware of me pulling out your beard!"

Gucci shrank his head, he really didn't dare to say anything.

This made Leon a little more curious, it seemed that this leopard girl with a lion father was very unusual.

However, he is not worried about what little shoes the other party will give him to wear, a real mercenary will never use his personal likes and dislikes during the mission.
