"My lord, there is nothing in Gudan Town that I don't know, and if there is anything my lord commands. ”

"If you need to rest here, I can introduce you to the most beautiful and caring maids. ”

"The equipment on your body seems to be damaged, and I know of a blacksmith shop owned by a dwarve, and the craftsmanship is the best in town. ”

“......”

Along the way, Lucio spared no effort to show his value in front of Chen Rui, who knew his intentions and did not open his mouth. In fact, for Lucio, a pawn, he didn't have any killing intent, just take the opportunity to get an identity certificate and go to the Longhuang Empire, speaking of which, from this guy's gushing words, he also learned a lot of useful news.

"Your great-grandfather was an officer of the Longhuang Empire?" Chen Rui finally asked.

Lucio, who had just listed all the genealogies in the hope of getting involved with this "division-level powerhouse" to save his life, heard this rhetorical question, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, my great-grandfather was the captain of the spear brigade of the Red Dragon Legion, but unfortunately the family fell into the middle of the road, and when I arrived at my father, he migrated to the Yangshao Kingdom, and later my father died of illness, and I ......."

Speaking of the glory of his ancestors, compared to his current situation, Lucio lowered his head with some shame: "My dream since I was a child was to become a spearman and inherit the glory of my grandfather, but unfortunately my luck is quite bad......"

Chen Rui remembers a sentence, "Since ancient times, spearmen have been hard pressed, but the most lucky is E", and the more typical one is a certain hard-working man holding a "red rose that breaks the devil".

Of course, Chen Rui knew that Lucio's shame was a lot of contrived water, so he shook his head noncommittally and didn't speak again.

The spearmen were familiar with the terrain, and after about an hour and a half, the two of them walked out of the forest and arrived in the town of Gudan.

Chen Rui was silent along the way, and he became more and more mysterious in Lucio's heart, and he didn't dare to ask more. He just asked flatteringly: "My lord, as we all know, the Crafter's Badge, Apothecary's Badge, Academy's Badge, and Mercenary Badge are all identification documents that are common to all countries, but there is only a mercenary union in Gudan Town, if your lord doesn't mind." You can register as a mercenary first. ”

The Maker Badge and the Apothecary Badge are available in Chen Rui's storage warehouse. But that is the emblem of the demon world, and there are also the engraved logos of the three empires, it is definitely impossible to use it on the ground, Chen Rui groaned slightly. said: "Then go to the mercenary union, I've always been low-key and don't like publicity, do you understand what to do?"

This sentence implied a threat, and Lucio hurriedly shook his head: "Understood!

The two of them came to a larger building. There is a sword-shaped sign on it.

After entering the door is a hall, there are many people in the hall, it looks like they are all mercenaries, and soon after the two of them entered the hall, they heard a disdainful voice next to them: "Look who is that? Isn't it the 'bad gun' Lucio? Even the gun has been broken, this time it's a veritable waste." ”

The one who opened his mouth was a bearded man with a broadsword on his back, and his strength was D-, which was a great level higher than Lucio.

A few mocking voices next to him also sounded: "This guy usually only bullies some rookies, and he has no skills." I saw him being chased by a flaming pig that he had half of his pants burned, haha!"

"Lucio isn't such a waste, he's still an unlucky bastard, and last time he was blind enough to blackmail the new cousin of the captain of the guard. As a result, he was severely beaten and imprisoned for three months. ”

“......”

Lucio didn't dare to say anything, and walked forward with his head down.

A petite, mature mercenary spoke, "Hey, the kid who followed." Lucio isn't a good thing, don't be fooled by him!"

This is kind counsel. Chen Rui glanced at the female mercenary, still following behind Lucio.

"I didn't even accept Sister Ina's kindness, I deserve this rookie to be killed!"

"I bet this rookie has been cheated out of at least thirty white crystals. ”

"Fifty white crystal coins, why don't we take a gamble?"

Chen Rui's faint voice rang in Lucio's ears: "It seems that your fame is not small. ”

Lucio's old face was red, his head hung lower, in front of him was the "reception desk", in front of him was a girl with a bit of pose, and there were a few girls in the back who were busy. A large bulletin board on the side details the various levels of mercenary missions, including content, time limit, and reward. The most striking thing is the popular task marked on the big black sign, there is no mercenary union in the demon world, Chen Rui took a few more curious looks.

"Cindy, this friend of mine wants to become a mercenary, please help me register. ”

Xiandi glanced at Lucio and handed Chen Rui a form, Chen Rui is now the face of the earth otaku that the Sea of Death has always used, and his appearance is not amazing, and he filled in the name of "Richard" in the form at the moment, and the rest of the information is naturally made up according to what Lucio said.

Xiandi took the form, glanced at it quickly, and nodded: "Richard, I don't know if Lucio has clearly explained to you that in order to become a mercenary certified by the union, you must first complete the simplest qualification task and become a reserve mercenary." Then, by completing three Monogram missions in a month, you will become an official mercenary with the Sombra badge. ”

Lucio hurriedly spoke: "Uh...... That's right, Sendy, please register Richard to join my Lance Squad, so that as long as you complete the Reserve Mercenary mission, you can directly become a full-fledged mercenary. ”

This is indeed the rule of the trade union, as long as you officially join the registered mercenary team after becoming a reserve mercenary, the reserve mercenary can directly "turn positive" to get a badge. This is not a loophole, mercenaries are a profession that fights with their lives, and if one is not careful, he will be killed or injured or even wiped out, and a formal mercenary team will definitely not recruit members who are not strong.

"The preparatory task should be to hunt the wind rabbit, here is the corpse of the wind rabbit, please check. Lucio took out the wind rabbit he had hunted on the road and placed it on the table.

"That's right, it's indeed a fresh wind rabbit corpse, Richard can already qualify as a reserve mercenary, but ......" Cindy took out a form and looked at it carefully as if confirmed, "Lucio, I'm afraid...... You don't have the qualifications to recruit team members, and the Flame Spear Squad is now in a frozen state because it hasn't completed an amethyst-level mission within a year, according to the regulations. From now on, you must complete an Amethyst-level mission within seven days to unfreeze, or the Spear Squad will be disbanded forever. ”

"What?" Lucio was shocked, "It's been a year so soon, why didn't I get notice in advance?"

"Hmph! A waste like you who can't afford to fail all day long only knows how to cheat and cheat, and buy drunk to kill your sorrows. And how can you remember the time. Naturally, there is no need to waste effort to inform. A deep voice came from behind him, a middle-aged man with a red beard and a scar on his face.

"Grow up. Cindy's words revealed the identity of this red-bearded uncle, who was the head of the mercenary union branch in Gudan Town. Redbeard's outward strength is the pinnacle of the sergeant rank (D+). It is equivalent to a high-level and high-level demon, but the actual strength has reached the division level, which is equivalent to the first stage of the Great Demon King (B-), which cannot be hidden from Chen Rui's eyes.

Redbeard naturally couldn't see through Chen Rui's strength, and only regarded him as a rookie with inferior strength who was deceived by Lucio. didn't care at all, and fell on Lucio's body with a cold gaze: "You are even more unbearable than I imagined, have you been reduced to defrauding in the name of the mercenary team? ”

"No, Lord Rotan, I didn't! really!" Lucio shouted, and suddenly thought that there was a terrible evil star beside him, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out.

From Redbeard's words, Chen Rui heard that the bitter spearman seemed to be a guy with a bit of a story, and now that the mercenary team was frozen, Jihua, who wanted to get the mercenary badge quickly, failed. But the bitter man should not be intentional, this is related to his life.

"Isn't it, after completing an amethyst-level task, I can get a mercenary badge?" Chen Rui suddenly interjected.

"Little one, mercenaries aren't so easy to be. Otherwise, even if you get the mercenary badge, you won't be a real mercenary, and you will only die faster in future missions," the red-bearded Luo Tan glanced at Chen Rui. Shaking his head disapprehantly: "Don't believe this liar's so-called shortcut, and honestly complete the three white crystal level tasks." Slowly gain experience so that you may live a little longer. As for the amethyst-level task, it is not at all within the reach of your current level. ”

Chen Rui had long noticed the tasks of the Bai Jing level, it was indeed not difficult, there were assisting the pharmacist to collect medicinal herbs, going to neighboring towns to deliver letters, assisting the guards to guard at night, collecting demonic beast skins, etc., but it was too time-consuming for him who was not familiar with the place.

"Miss Cindy, I would like to ask, what is the fastest task to unfreeze the Spear Squad? I only ask about the shortest mission, and there is no limit to the level. Chen Rui smiled at Xiandi and asked.

Not knowing Weishenme, Xian Di felt a strange charm in her ordinary smile, and couldn't help but reply: "On the popular task, there is the task of obtaining the lion scorpion egg issued by Pastor Mana, the level is level 7, and the reward is 300 black crystal coins. ”

"Oh. Chen Rui nodded and said to Lucio, "Let's go." ”

Lucio didn't dare to say more, and followed, Redbeard saw that the relationship between the two was a little weird before, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Walking out of the mercenary union, Lucio hurriedly explained: "Lord Richard, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the Spear Squad had been frozen......"

"Where is the lion scorpion in the Blue Wild Forest?"

"In the Poison ......Cave deep in the Blue Forest," Lucio replied, and immediately reacted, "Your Excellency, are you ......?"

"Without further ado, lead the way now and go to the Poison Cave immediately!"

"Huh, me?" Lucio shuddered and stopped: "There are two lion scorpions in the Fierce Poison Cave, one of which is said to be close to the saint-level existence, they are the overlords of the Blue Wild Forest, and no one has ever dared to provoke them. A year ago, my team was collecting poison fruit nearby, and accidentally alarmed a lion scorpion, and as a result, everyone but me ......."

"You now have two choices, first, to die immediately. Second, go to the Poison Cave, perhaps, you can not only live, but also avenge the death of your comrades. ”

Lucio looked at Chen Rui's calm eyes, and finally gritted his teeth: "I'll go!"
