The next day at noon

College cafeteria box

"Tianfeng, Yuxuan drinks, Tongxuan is casual. Ma Quan said happily.

Today was the last day before Ling Xuan and the three of them left the academy, and Ma Quan would also leave the academy this afternoon, so the four of them had planned to come to the cafeteria to have a meal before leaving, and Ma Quan took the initiative to treat them.

"Come big brother, Ma Quan, cheers. Xiao Yuxuan said with a red face and a smile.

"Okay, we're about to separate, let's have a good party in this last moment. Ling Xuan took a sip of the water and wine in the cup, laughed and said to everyone.

"Don't get drunk at noon, you big men, if you do, you'll have to lie in bed in the afternoon. Qin Tongxuan said with a grin.

"Don't worry, we have a sense of proportion, and we have to send Ma Quan in the afternoon! How can we get drunk here?" Ling Xuan smiled at his second brother Xiao Yuxuan and said, "You say yes, second brother." ”

"Of course, Ma Quan is our good brother, he is leaving, of course we as brothers have to send him! Xiao Yuxuan blushed, shook his head and said, you don't need to look to know that he really drank a little too much.

"Okay, I see that you really drank too much, you better drink less!" Seeing Xiao Yuxuan's shaking of his head, Ling Xuan couldn't help but laugh and scold.

In this way, the four of them happily finished their separate meals, and Ling Xuan and the three of them sent Ma Quan to the gate of the academy.

"Tianfeng, Yuxuan, Tongxuan, we'll see you later, you guys will be sent here. Ma Quan then turned to Ling Xuan and said, "Tianfeng, thank you, let me break through to the realm of the next magician at the moment I finally left the academy, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate according to the method you said." ”

It turned out that when Ma Quan left yesterday, Ling Xuan left Ma Quan behind, and then, sent him to the Golden Dragon Ring, helping Ma Quan to cultivate, so that Ma Quan could break through to the lower level of magicians, originally Ma Quan was still a little far from the peak of high-level magicians, but after Ling Xuan gave him a little bit of his own earth element, he successfully broke through to the next magician.

"Good brother, take care. Ling Xuan said reluctantly with tears in his eyes.

"Take care. Ma Quan wiped the tears in his eyes with one hand, and then gradually moved away from everyone in the eyes of Ling Xuan and the others.

In the early morning, when the sky is just beginning to light slightly, a touch of rose-like yarn slowly spreads out on the clean blue sky. The blue-blue dawn crept silently through the steep mountain passes, as if searching for something that had been forgotten yesterday, and it slipped through the trees, even under the fallen leaves, and walked to every corner, dressing up the earth and making it ready for the sun's light.

At this time, Ling Xuan, Xiao Yuxuan, and Qin Tongxuan took advantage of the sunshine and walked on the street to the branch of the 'Mercenary Union' in Moon Studios, just now Ling Xuan and Xiao Yuxuan had already gone to the management room when they left the apartment, and said goodbye to Zhang Kaiming, and Qin Tongxuan also left in a hurry with his parents' sad looks, came to the school gate to meet Ling Xuan and Xiao Yuxuan, and then walked straight to the Moon Shadow branch of the 'Mercenary Union'.

The Mercenary Trade Union, as one of the two major trade unions in the Hualong Continent, has a conceivable division of power, basically all cities in the mainland have their branches, and the strength of the Mercenary Trade Union is also extremely strong, and it is called the 'two major trade unions' like the Killer Guild.

Since the establishment of the mercenary union, they have never seen the true face of the president, and the headquarters of the mercenary union is only managed by the vice president of the first god domain, and the headquarters has the position of elder, some powerful mercenaries, after being wooed by the mercenary union, will distribute elder tokens, and these mercenaries exist as elders of the mercenary union.

The strength of the general elder has reached the level of the Holy Domain, and the first elder of the Mercenary Guild is even more of a powerhouse in the Primordial God Domain, I heard that he is a friend of the vice president, and he is also personally recruited into the union by the vice president, because it is very difficult to want a powerhouse of the Primordial Divine Domain to join an organization.

Not only that, but the leaders of the mercenary guild heard that they all have the strength of the sanctuary level, so it is absolutely impossible to make trouble in the mercenary guild, and no one has the courage to make trouble in the mercenary guild, because it is no different from looking for death.

Since Xuan Ning didn't tell Ling Xuan and the others yesterday where the Moon Shadow City branch of the Mercenary Guild was, the three of Ling Xuan had no choice but to search the streets without any purpose, hoping to arrive early soon.

However, although Moon Shadow City was not as big as imagined, it was not small, and it would definitely not be able to find anything just by relying on the three of them to search aimlessly, so Ling Xuan temporarily decided to find someone to ask and see if anyone knew where the mercenary union was.

After a while, Ling Xuan's eyes were aimed at a middle-aged man who looked relatively strong.

"Uncle, do you know where the mercenary union in Moon Shadow City is?" Ling Xuan asked.

The middle-aged man who just wanted to leave heard Ling Xuan's words, turned around curiously and asked, "Young man, did you go to the mercenary union to join the mercenary group? It is really rare to go out to practice at a young age, it seems that your strength should be good!"

Ling Xuan nodded, and then introduced Xiao Yuxuan and Qin Tongxuan to the middle-aged man, and said, "Uncle, this is my friend, Xiao Yuxuan and Qin Tongxuan, I went to the mercenary union with them, and we want to register a mercenary group together there, and do mercenary tasks while training." ”

"Just the three of you? You're not kidding. The middle-aged man shouted in surprise, "Do you know the rules and regulations for applying for a mercenary group, not just a casual person can apply to form a mercenary group." ”

The middle-aged man's words immediately made Ling Xuan frown, they really didn't know what the conditions were required to apply for the mercenary group, but now after the other party said this, he became worried, worried that several of them had not yet met the qualifications to apply for the mercenary group.

But then he thought about it, since the master asked them to go to the mercenary union to apply for a mercenary group, there should be some arrangements, otherwise how could he let the three of them form a mercenary group?

Ling Xuan was right, in fact, the three of them really didn't meet the conditions to apply for the mercenary group.

There are three conditions for applying to the mercenary union to form a mercenary group, one is that at least three people can form a mercenary group, and the second is that the strength of each member must be at least an intermediate magician or intermediate warrior, and the last point is that Ling Xuan and they have not reached, each member of the mercenary group must be older than or equal to 18 years old, that is, an adult.

Xuan Ning naturally knew this, but why did he still let them go to the mercenary union to apply for the formation of a mercenary group?

The answer is very simple, for the sake of his apprentice, he cheekily went to the Mercenary Guild this time to ask for the president of the Mercenary Guild Branch of Moon Shadow City, for which he also gave his most precious holy weapon to the other party.

"Uncle, you just tell us how to go with the mercenary union, don't worry about the rest, don't ask. Xiao Yuxuan, who was on the side, saw the endless middle-aged man in front of him, and became dissatisfied first.

"Okay, good, good, the mercenary union is actually on this street, and you can see the mercenary union you are looking for at the end of this road. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm curious, why do you have the confidence to form a mercenary group." ”

"Strength, the three of us rely on our own strength. Ling Xuan said with a firm expression.

"Okay, ambitious, I like it, you guys go, I support you. The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand at Ling Xuan and the others, and walked towards an alley.

And Ling Xuan and the three of them were also at this time, hurriedly following the street, all the way forward.

After the middle-aged man walked into the alley, his eyes looked at Ling Xuan and the three of them who had just left, and the corners of his mouth said with a smile: " It's really an interesting boy, the apprentice that Senior Qin said should be him, we are really fated, Ling Xuan, interesting, really very interesting, hehe, he doesn't know yet, registering a mercenary group is not as simple as he imagined, but, even if it is not for the holy weapon of Senior Qin, just because of the fate of this kid and himself, I will let him form a mercenary group, Senior Qin is really willing, so it seems that I took a holy weapon from him for nothing. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man smiled sinisterly and disappeared into the alley, if Xuan Ning heard what he said at this time, he would definitely immediately run to fight with him.

It turned out that this person was Yu Feng, the president of the Mercenary Union Branch of Moon Shadow City, in fact, from the time Ling Xuan asked him for directions, he felt that these three people were the three people Xuan Ning said, but because of the first meeting, he was not sure, and it was not until the end that he was sure that it was indeed the three apprentices of Xuan Ning.

Of course, these must not be known to the three Ling Xuan who were on the way to the Mercenary Union.

After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Ling Xuan and the three of them didn't stop for a moment, and hurriedly ran in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man, the hard work paid off, and after the three of them walked for nearly ten minutes, they finally saw a house, and at the top of the main entrance of the house, there were four shiny big characters: Mercenary Union, and then, in the lower right corner of the four big characters of the Mercenary Union, there were also five slightly smaller words: Moon Shadow City Branch.

"Wow, big brother, after looking for so long, I finally found the mercenary union. Xiao Yuxuan looked at the four big characters on the door and said happily.

"Yes, it seems that what the uncle said just now is right. Ling Xuan glanced at the words on the door and continued, "Let's go in." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Yuxuan and Qin Tongxuan nodded lightly, and then followed Ling Xuan into the mercenary union.

"Sir, miss, may I ask for any help?"

When Ling Xuan and the three of them came to the door of the mercenary union, there was an inquiry from the receptionist from the right, so the three of them turned around in a daze, Ling Xuan first said: "We are here to register for the mercenary group, may I ask, can the three of them register as a mercenary group?"

"Three people can register as a mercenary group, as long as they have the strength of an intermediate magician or intermediate warrior or above, but we have a limit on the age of the group leader and the members of the group. The receptionist smiled.

"How old do the regiment commanders and members of the regiment have to be?" Qin Tongxuan asked at this time.

"The age of the regiment commander and the members of the regiment are the same, and they must be 18 years old, and I don't know how old everyone present is. The receptionist was still smiling.

"Can you be accommodating, I'm the oldest here, and I'm only 17 years old, so it's not a big problem to be a year old. Ling Xuan said with a wry smile, he didn't have the idea of registering a mercenary group and having such a trivial condition.

"This can't work, if you don't get it, you can't help it, so you can't help it, so please go back. The receptionist shook his head and smiled and declined.

"I really can't be accommodating. Qin Tongxuan said softly.

"No, I can't. The receptionist said firmly.

Just as Ling Xuan and the three of them were about to leave, the next sound made the three of them extremely happy.

"Xiaohong, you go down first, I'll be in charge of this side personally. ”

"Yes, President, then Xiaohong will go down first. After saying that, the receptionist named Xiaohong slowly walked down the window and walked towards the inner room.

And the middle-aged man with a middle-aged accent who was called the president by Xiaohong also appeared in front of Ling Xuan and the three of them at this time, and Ling Xuan and the three of them were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"You... You are actually the president of the mercenary union?" Xiao Yuxuan shouted in surprise.

"What, it's not like that?" President Yu Feng shook his long black hair lightly and smiled slightly.

"Sort of. Xiao Yuxuan said embarrassedly, "However, it's easy for you to be the president, let us register the mercenary group." ”

"Yes, President, since you just called us over, you should know that we won't be able to pass the conditions for registration, but you still let us come, you shouldn't let us not register. Ling Xuan asked with a slight puzzlement.

"Yes, I'll let you sign up, but I have one condition, you have to pass the test of the lower sorcerer or swordsman, and that shouldn't be a problem. Yu Feng said with a smile.

"That's fine, I know you're doing this for our good. Ling Xuan nodded in agreement.

Then, under the leadership of the leader, Ling Xuan and the three of them soon came to the inner hall of the Moon Shadow Branch of the Mercenary Guild, and the president went into his room to bring the test equipment, which was a very transparent crystal glass ball, as magicians, of course Ling Xuan and Qin Tongxuan knew what this crystal glass ball was used for.

"You two put your hands on the glass ball one by one, and test your magic and mental power. The chairman pointed at Ling Xuan and Qin Tongxuan.

Qin Tongxuan first came to the crystal glass ball, put her hands flat on the glass ball, 'hum', and after a while, the surface of the glass ball changed, and a red light rose into the sky, and then disappeared into the air.

"Yes, at a young age, he has the strength of a median magician. Yu Feng nodded with a smile.

After that, it was Ling Xuan's turn, and as soon as Ling Xuan walked in front of the glass ball and didn't put his hand on it, there were unstable fluctuations on the surface of the glass ball.

'Buzz'

It wasn't until Ling Xuan put his hand on the glass ball that he saw that the multicolored light immediately rose into the sky, but it did not disappear like Qin Tongxuan, 'click', the surface of the crystal glass ball rose with the multicolored light, and cracks appeared, and finally it could not withstand the energy of the multicolored light and shattered.

At first, when the multicolored light first rose, the chairman was stunned with surprise, until after the sound of the glass ball shattering, he finally couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up, and said with a surprised face, "You... You are a high-ranking fifth-line magician. ”

"Five-line high-ranking demon warrior?" Xiao Yuxuan smiled disdainfully, "Big brother, he is a five-line demon warrior." ”

"What kind of monsters are the three of you, two of them have reached the middle level of the magician and the middle level of the swordsman at such a young age, and the other one is even more perverted, the magic power has reached the upper level of the magician, and the fighting spirit has also reached the top level of the swordsman, this world is too crazy. Yu Feng shook his head, but the shock on his face had not yet recovered.

"Alright, President, you can help us run a mercenary group. Ling Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, of course you can, in the future, you don't have to call me as president, my name is Yu Feng, I'll just make a loud noise, just call me Uncle Yu. Yu Feng said with a smile.

"Ling Xuan. Ling Xuan then pointed at Xiao Yuxuan and Qin Tongxuan and said, "Second brother Xiao Yuxuan, Qin Tongxuan." ”

"It turned out to be Qin Tongxuan, the granddaughter of the young city lord and Xuan Ning, no wonder, it was really rude just now. Yu Feng said in surprise.

Of course, Yu Feng knew about the situation of Ling Xuan and the three of them, he knew it when Xuan Ning asked him before, and now he showed a surprised expression, of course, it was also deliberate, but Ling Xuan and the others didn't know.

"Tianfeng is my grandfather's apprentice. Qin Tongxuan said.

"It turns out that they are all the descendants of the two of them, and I have a very good relationship with your father, grandfather, and master, so it's not too much for you to call me Uncle Yu at this time. Yu Bao made a sudden enlightenment.

If Ling Xuan knew that Yu Feng had already known about the situation of the three of them at this time, he would definitely scold the other party for being shameless.

"Of course, but, Uncle Yu, should we hurry up and register the mercenary group. Ling Xuan looked a little impatient.

"That's, that's. Seeing that Ling Xuan was impatient, Yu Feng said embarrassedly.

Subsequently, Yu Feng led Ling Xuan and the three of them back to the reception, handed them a form, filled it out and registered the mercenary group, and its name was composed of one of the words of Ling Xuan's two brothers, so the Tianyu mercenary group was established in this case, and at the beginning of its establishment, there were only three people, Ling Xuan, Xiao Yuxuan, and Qin Tongxuan, the head of the regiment was served by Ling Xuan, the deputy head of the regiment was served by Xiao Yuxuan, and there was only one Qin Tongxuan as a member, and then, they were ready to start to see what tasks could be accepted.

When the three of them came to the taskbar, they immediately found that this place was already overcrowded, and the crowd density was only a lot more than the bazaar, and the dense mercenaries were next to each other, some were sitting, some were standing, and some were even squatting, which could be described as full of tricks.

Among them, the place with the most crowds of people was still in front of the task bar where the mercenary task was announced, perhaps just in time for the task to be released, because he didn't pay much attention to the situation inside the union when he entered the door just now, when Ling Xuan and the three of them entered the mercenary union, they found that there were so many people inside the mercenary union, and in the end, Yu Feng came over to explain the reason.

It turned out that the crowd here were all mercenaries of mercenary groups, and there were more than a dozen mercenary groups of various sizes and sizes, ranging from A-level mercenary groups to the lowest-level, F-level mercenary groups like Ling Xuan and them, as for why there were no S-level or SS-level, it was because the two highest levels of mercenaries were only in some large capitals to take on tasks.

Generally, the missions of the Imperial Capital, or the capital of a large Chamber of Commerce, are more advanced and more challenging for them, so most famous mercenary groups like to live in large towns to accept missions. (Mercenary groups from high to low: SS Grade, S Grade, A Grade, B Grade, C Grade, D Grade, E Grade, F Grade)

After Yu Feng's explanation, Ling Xuan and the others had a preliminary understanding of the mercenary union, but now they are facing a new problem, that is, the crowd in front of the task bar.

Today, Ling Xuan and the others came to this mercenary union, in addition to registering for the mercenary group, the main task was to take on a mercenary mission that met their conditions, that is, a mercenary mission that could go to Yinglong City, but to their surprise, there were so many people in front of the task bar?

In fact, as long as you are an experienced mercenary, you know that no matter where the mercenary union or branch is, there are so many mercenaries in front of the task bar every day, and once a mercenary group wants to take on the task, they have to squeeze forward, whether it is A-level, B-level, C-level, or F-level.

Only by removing the task list in the task bar and sending it to the receptionist, who will register it to carry out the mercenary mission, and the mercenary group that does not send the task list is not eligible for this task.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, if there are some special nature or tasks that are difficult and no one takes them, then they should be exceptional, such as tasks above the S level, which have their own task announcement columns, or some of the tasks that are extremely dangerous and even the SS-level mercenary groups are not sure, or the high-level mercenary groups are disdainful of the tasks and are not sure of the A-level mercenary groups, or the S-level mercenary groups have tasks, and the tasks below the A level are not sure, etc., then the union will treat these tasks as special tasks and publish them in another section. Special Mercenary Guild taskbar'.

And those tasks on the 'Special Mercenary Guild Task Bar' can be accepted by all mercenary groups, no matter what level of mercenary group they are, of course, for low-level mercenary groups, they know that high-level mercenary groups are not sure that they will naturally not accept them, they are not fools, stupid to send them to death.

In general, special tasks are tasks that no one wants to take on and no one wants to take, so the unions put them in a prominent place, and there are no people in those places, except for the staff.

And the three of Ling Xuan came to the task bar marked 'Special Mercenary Guild Task Bar' without realizing it, thus starting their journey of the first test of life and death.

What was the situation at that time??

"Big brother, you see, there's a taskbar over there, and there's no one on the edge of that taskbar, so let's go there and see how about it." Xiao Yuxuan saw that there were so many people on the taskbar in front of him, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that there was no one on the edge of the taskbar not far away, so he pointed to the taskbar with one hand and said to Ling Xuan.

Hearing this, Ling Xuan and Qin Tongxuan were slightly puzzled, and then looked in the direction of Xiao Yuxuan's finger, and sure enough, both of them found that there were not many people on the edge of the taskbar, and some were just curious people, Ling Xuan could see that they had no intention of taking the task at all, and this discovery made Ling Xuan puzzled.

"Could it be that the tasks on that taskbar are too simple, and these mercenary groups don't bother to do them?" Ling Xuan wondered in his heart.

"Okay, let's take a look first, and if there is a task in Yinglong City, he will be next. Ling Xuan nodded and said to the two.

If Yu Feng was here at this time, he would definitely stop the stupid behavior of Ling Xuan and the others, you must know that although there is no level limit on that taskbar, but those are tasks that even the A-level mercenary group dare not accept, generally the mercenary group with the strength of the A-level mercenary group Their leader at least has the strength of the Great Magister or the Great Sword Master, and some even have the strength of the Holy Domain, of course, the average Sacred Domain-level powerhouse disdains to join an A-level mercenary group, unless that person has an old relationship with the group leader, this is of course an exception, which is what Ling Xuan can compare with their F-level mercenary group at this time。

When Ling Xuan and the three of them slowly walked towards the 'Special Mercenary Task Bar' that they didn't know about, the mercenaries who were originally looking at the task bar on the other side all looked at the back of Ling Xuan and the three of them leaving with surprise on their faces, and they were discussing.

"Look at those three people actually walked to the quest bar over there in the 'Special Mercenary Quest Bar'. One of the mercenaries said to the other in a surprised tone.

"Really, they're not going to take on a mission over there!" said the mercenary in surprise.

"Probably not, I don't think they have the strength to do so. The mercenary at first shook his head and vetoed.

"Yes, when I joined the union just now, I saw those three people filling out the group form, it should have only been a new group for a short time! It shouldn't be possible to take on those 'special tasks'!" the latter mercenary nodded in agreement.

"Why not, they may not understand anything? Seeing that there is no one, they will go over there with all their might, you must know that the task over there is either no one to take it or is not capable of taking it, and it is not uncommon for mercenary rookies like them to receive the wrong task!" At this time, another mercenary with a long sword on his back came over and said.

What this brother said was that maybe they would see the difficulty of the task and retreat. At first the mercenary spoke again.

"If you want to know if they will take the task, we will see later, we will just wait and see!"

However, as the conversation between the three mercenaries was generated, all the mercenary members immediately looked at the three Ling Xuan who were in front of the 'Special Mercenary Task Bar' at this time with curious eyes, and at this time, they all wanted to see if those three people had the burden to take on the special tasks on the 'Special Mercenary Task Bar'.

It's just that the three of Ling Xuan, who were in front of the 'Special Mercenary Task Bar', didn't know that just behind them, there was a group of mercenaries waiting there to watch their good show!

"Big brother, it says that no matter what level of mercenary group you have, you can take on the above tasks, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take the above tasks at first!" Looking at the mercenary level written on the task list, Xiao Yuxuan said to Ling Xuan with a happy smile.

Ling Xuan looked at the prompt on the task bar, it was indeed clearly written, the task here does not limit the team level and mercenary level, looking down the task bar, he checked the tasks on the 'special mercenary task bar' one by one, it was all relatively advanced tasks, such as going to the Death Forest to get the magic crystal of the A-level Warcraft Golden-winged Eagle, going to the edge of the Ghost Valley to find the Nether Grass and other four forbidden places, however, there was one task that made Ling Xuan's eyes light up.

The mission is written like this: hire a mission, escort a group of personnel out of Moon Studios, and the destination is Yinglong City, and the mission details are negotiable.

The requirements of this task are just in line with the needs of Ling Xuan and the three of them at this time, and the requirements of the task are very simple, but it is briefly said that it is a hiring task, which is escorted to Yinglong City by Moon Shadow City, as for the details of the escort, such as whether the escort is a person or a thing, and the difficulty level of the escort, the task is not clearly stated, but it is said vaguely: As long as you take the task, you will tell the truth, and the departure time is negotiable.

"Big brother, I see how about we take this task. When Ling Xuan's eyes were fixed on the escort task, Xiao Yuxuan said at the same time.

"Tongxuan, what do you think, how about this task?" Ling Xuan didn't answer Xiao Yuxuan, but asked Qin Tongxuan beside him.

"Okay, I'm casual, isn't this just what we like?" Qin Tongxuan said with a smile.

"Then it's decided, then I'll move on to the task. Ling Xuan nodded.

'Wow!'

As soon as Ling Xuan spoke, there was a fierce reaction among the mercenaries, which was no less than the level of a ten-magnitude earthquake, and many mercenaries couldn't sit still.

"You see, they've really taken on the task over there. The mercenary at first said in surprise, opening his mouth to put down an apple.

"yes! You didn't say that we saw it too, I really can't figure out if they were idiots or what, and they went to take on a special mission over there. The mercenary with the sword on his back glanced at his lips and said.

"We're not going to talk about it anymore, you see they go to the receptionist. Another mercenary pointed at Ling Xuan and the three of them.

In this way, amid the stunned expressions of all the mercenaries present, Ling Xuan unveiled the task from the 'Special Mercenary Task Bar' and handed it over to the receptionist named Xiaohong just now.

"Are you sure you want to take on this task?" asked Xiaohong, looking at the task in her hand, uncertainly.

"Well, sure. Ling Xuan nodded.

"Then you know what this task is. Xiaohong still asked without giving up.

"Isn't it just an escort mission? Ling Xuan said a little displeased.

"I mean, do you know anything about this mission?" asked Red, concerningly.

"Then please tell Miss Xiaohong the truth, and we will decide whether to take it or not. Sensing Xiaohong's concern, Ling Xuan also felt that what he had just said was a bit heavy.

"Do you know, at the beginning, this mission was also announced on the task bar you saw at the beginning, it was because no one could send the other party ten miles away and was killed, which became a special mission, and after two unsuccessful escorts, the hired master had to temporarily live in the Moon Studios because he couldn't stand the losses again and again, waiting for a powerful person to come out to escort, however, because the first two mercenary groups themselves were not weak and the strength of the C-level mercenary group died, therefore, in the end, not even a mercenary group came out to accept the task, so now this mission has become a special mission。 Xiaohong explained.

"Then what is the strength of those two C-rank mercenary groups?" Ling Xuan asked again.

"The strength of those two C-level mercenary groups is not weak, the head of the regiment has the strength of a high-ranking swordsman, and the deputy leader also has the strength of a high-ranking magician. Xiaohong continued.

"It's really good. Ling Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly, "I decided... Receive this task. ”

"Mr. Tianfeng, do you want to think about it again. Xiaohong said nervously, he didn't want Ling Xuan to die young at such a young age, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"I thought it through. Ling Xuan nodded.

Ling Xuan really thought about it clearly, he thought that he now had the strength of a high-ranking swordsman and a high-ranking magician, if he really fought, he could definitely kill a lower-level swordsman or a lower-level magician, even if he could fight with a middle-ranking swordsmith or a middle-ranking magic, if he used the power of Bingyuan or fusion magic, even the subordinates of the high-ranking swordsman could be undefeated, and there was Xiao Yuxuan, who was comparable to the high-ranking swordsman, and Qin Tongxuan, the middle-rank magician, if it really didn't work, he could also call Xiao Jin and Xiao Yan (the name of the Flame Tiger) to join, he knew that such a combination was not worse than an ordinary C-level mercenary group, and even stronger, this is the main reason why he decided to take on the task.

"Give it to them, I trust them. Just when Xiaohong was hesitating, President Yu Feng Shi came out to solve the siege.

"Yes, President, I'll go through the formalities for them. Xiaohong nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Yu. Ling Xuan said sincerely.

When Yu Feng heard Ling Xuan's thanks, he just smiled lightly and said, "You have to be careful, this escort mission is not as simple as you imagined, if you really can't do it, you can return it, your own life is the most important." ”

"Uncle Yu, we know, we will be careful. Qin Tongxuan said softly.

"Yes, Uncle Yu, we will do what we can. Seeing that Yu Feng said so carefully, Xiao Yuxuan's expression also became very heavy, and he was secretly worried, he didn't know if this mission would go well.

Yu Feng nodded: "In the afternoon, you will take this task list to a manor not far from here to find a young man named Ji Mingfeng in a white warrior uniform, and he will tell you the specific things you are responsible for." ”

"Okay, let's go over later. Ling Xuan said.

"Don't be in such a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's not too late for us to have a meal together. Yu Feng said with a smile.

Ling Xuan's eyes rolled and he thought that since everything had been done, there were still two months to leave the school, and he was not in a hurry at this moment, so he readily agreed to Yu Feng's request.

Of course, Xiao Yuxuan and Qin Tongxuan would not object to Ling Xuan's proposal, who would not want to eat for nothing if they had a meal for nothing, besides, their stomachs were already hungry at this time.

At the dinner table, Ling Xuan and Yu Feng, the four of them had a very happy conversation, Yu Feng also briefly informed Ling Xuan and the three of them of the identity of the hired person this time, when the three of them heard that the mercenary was a paladin of the Holy See, they were so surprised that their mouths couldn't close, and the three of them were very puzzled why the mercenary who was a paladin still hired them as a mercenary with low strength, when the three of them asked again, Yu Feng never said the secret again, and he blocked Ling Xuan and the three of them back with a word: You will all understand in the afternoon.

After a full meal, Ling Xuan and the three of them said goodbye to Yu Feng and slowly walked towards the manor where the hired person was.

The spring light in the afternoon sprinkled on the three Ling Xuan who were walking on the street, but it looked so bright and dazzling, but in the hearts of the three of them, it was just the opposite, at this time, the three of them were upset about this hiring task, and Yu Feng's words at lunch echoed in the ears of Ling Xuan and the three of them.

"Tianfeng, Yuxuan, Tongxuan, the three of you must remember that this task of the three of you is not simple, and you will lose your life if you are not careful, so when performing the mission, try not to make enemies with the incoming enemy, otherwise the consequences are not what you can imagine. ”

Ling Xuan and the three of them were thinking about Yu Feng's words at the time, and what Ling Xuan and the three of them were most concerned about was the word 'consequences' that Yu Feng had repeatedly warned, which was also what Ling Xuan and the others were most concerned about at the moment, they didn't understand why Yu Feng repeatedly mentioned this 'consequence' was not something they could bear, could it be that the enemy behind this paladin was really so powerful?

"Big brother, did you say that Uncle Yu was too alarmist, it was just an escort mission, is it necessary to be so nervous?" Xiao Yuxuan complained as he walked.

"I don't think so, you must know that Uncle Yu is a saint-level powerhouse, he said that this task is not simple, then it will definitely not be so simple, Uncle Yu has repeatedly emphasized not to make enemies with the invading enemy, otherwise we can bear the consequences, but even if we want to escort them, and we must not be the enemy of the invading person, how is it possible?" Qin Tongxuan analyzed.

"Tong Xuan is right, Uncle Yu's words are undoubtedly right, this task will not be simple, otherwise how can it become a special mission?" After the meal just now, Ling Xuan also knew that they were the most special existence among the mercenary missions. Special Missions.

"Then it's impossible for us not to be enemies of the enemy who is coming!" Xiao Yuxuan covered his head and became annoyed, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "Uncle Yu said this, could it be that the enemy who is attacking here is very strong, and it is only strong and not weak with the Bright Sect?"

After Xiao Yuxuan said this, Ling Xuan realized that there were not many people on the mainland who could be the enemy of the Bright Sect, and as one of the 'Second Courts', the Bright Sect could be the enemy of the big forces on the continent, but it was not known to Ling Xuan what kind of big force it was.

Although Ling Xuan and the three of them felt that their strength had become very strong at this time, and they also had a certain understanding of the general situation of the continent, they were missing one of the most important things, that is, the specific situation of the major forces in the Hualong Continent now, Xuan Ning had not told them this, according to Xuan Ning's thoughts at that time, since the three of them were going to study at the Yinglong Royal Demon Martial Academy for four years, they would definitely know more clearly than they had explained in the future, so they would not be in a hurry at this moment.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as Ling Xuan and the three of them went out, they would come into contact with such a huge force as the Bright Sect, and they would have to be enemies of a big force equivalent to the strength of the Bright Sect.

The three of Ling Xuan, who were walking on the street, didn't know how powerful the Bright Holy See was, all they knew was that the church created by the Bright Sect was relatively famous in Moon Shadow City, and the paladins had high power in the Bright Sect, and even had the strength of the peak of the high-ranking Great Sword Master.

For the Holy See of Light to have a strong paladin like the top great sword master, Ling Xuan and the three of them all knew that even the leaders of ordinary small forces also had such strength, so they were not surprised, and the three of them thought in their hearts that since the mercenary was using the paladin to submit the task in his own name, it should be his own business, not necessarily the business of the Holy See of Light, this was the reason why the three of them still accepted this task after hearing Yu Feng's words, but what they didn't know was that this task was simply a task assigned by the Pope of the Holy See of Light.

"Big brother, hasn't the manor arrived yet, didn't Uncle Yu say that it was around here?" Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but ask when he saw that he hadn't seen a trace of the manor after walking for so long.

"What Uncle Yu said shouldn't be wrong, let's look carefully, it should be not far away. Ling Xuan looked around and walked down the street again.

Of course, Xiao Yuxuan also followed Ling Xuan forward, but at this time, Qin Tongxuan did not follow the two of them, but stopped outside a very small courtyard, turned around and shouted to Ling Xuan and the two in front of him: "Tianfeng, Yuxuan, wait a minute, I think, I have found where the manor is." ”

"Really, you found it, where is he?" Hearing Qin Tongxuan's shout, Xiao Yuxuan hurriedly ran back to her and asked suspiciously.

"It should be here, you see, there are all façade houses around here, but this one alone has a small courtyard. Qin Tongxuan casually pointed to the small courtyard in front of her.

In fact, when a few people first came here, Ling Xuan had also paid attention to this inconspicuous small courtyard, but because of the word 'manor' that Yu Feng said before, he thought that since it was a manor, it must be a relatively large house with an independent courtyard, and the small courtyard in front of him could not be called a 'manor', so he continued to look elsewhere, and when Qin Tongxuan talked about it, he realized that he was wrong, it turned out that the so-called 'manor' in Yu Feng's mouth was the inconspicuous small courtyard in front of him.

"Tongxuan is right, at the beginning when Uncle Yu said manor, we all agreed that if it was a 'manor', it should be the kind with a large house and a relatively large courtyard, but after thinking about it, since this is a special task, the hirer should be very careful, they deliberately bought a small courtyard, but said that it was a manor, just to confuse those who are not good for them. Ling Xuan slowly walked over to Qin Tongxuan, holding his forehead and thinking about it, and said.

"I'm getting more and more uneasy about whether you're saying we're wrong to take on this mission. Qin Tongxuan said worriedly.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, since you have already taken the task, don't hesitate, maybe this is also an opportunity, isn't it?" After Ling Xuan finished speaking, he smiled at Xiao Yuxuan and the two beside him, and took the lead in walking towards the courtyard.

"Yes, the eldest brother is right, good and bad go together, maybe it's really a chance. Xiao Yuxuan followed closely and entered the courtyard.

Qin Tongxuan didn't understand Ling Xuan and Xiao Yuxuan's words, she just nodded blankly, and then followed Xiao Yuxuan, and slowly walked in.

All the way along the middle path, Ling Xuan and the three found that this courtyard was smaller than they imagined, as soon as they entered the door, the whole picture of the courtyard was exposed in the eyes of the three people, following the eyes of the three people, there were only places on both sides of the path in the courtyard, two trees were planted on both sides of the path, and the ground was grassy, but there was no garden and pond like an ordinary manor.

All the way along the middle path, Ling Xuan and the three found that this courtyard was smaller than they imagined, as soon as they entered the door, the whole picture of the courtyard was exposed in the eyes of the three people, following the eyes of the three people, there were only places on both sides of the path in the courtyard, two trees were planted on both sides of the path, and the ground was grassy, but there was no garden and pond like an ordinary manor.

Entering the courtyard, the three of them found a new house and an old house, and they knew that this was also a mercenary to confuse the enemy, and it seemed that the mercenary was very careful in the city.

'Knock knock'

"Who. As soon as Ling Xuan knocked on the door, there was a shouting sound from inside.

"We are members of the Tianyu Mercenary Group, and we are here to see Ji Mingfeng, Lord Ji. Ling Xuan said very politely.

When Ling Xuan spoke, they heard the sound of fierce discussion in the room, and they could hear that there was more than one person in the room, and after a while, with a 'squeak', the door slowly opened from the inside, and from inside the door walked a group of four people, two warriors, a magician, and a person similar to a butler.

"The three of you are members of the Tianyu Mercenary Group, Yu Feng has already sent a message just now, I didn't believe it when Yu Feng told me at the time, but now when I see the real person, I know that you are really just three underage young men. The young man in a white warrior uniform who walked in the middle said in surprise.

"You are Master Ji Mingfeng Ji, yes, it's just the three of us, although we are only an F-level mercenary group, but our strength also has the strength of a C-level mercenary group. Ling Xuan explained.

"Lord Ji doesn't dare to be, if you can afford me, just call me Brother Ji, what level of mercenary group you are, it has nothing to do with us, as long as you can protect the people we want you to protect." Ji Mingfeng shook his head, "You guys come in first, and I'll tell you about the specific things." ”

Under the leadership of Ji Mingfeng and the others, Ling Xuan and the three of them came to an inner room in the house, this room is relatively hidden, and it is extremely simple, just a soft bed, a table and a few stools, there is an old man lying on the soft bed, Ling Xuan knows that this is where they discuss things, and the old man on the bed should be the target of this escort.

"Let me introduce you first, the magician next to me is called Hang Yunhai, and the warrior is called Hang Yunlu, they are two brothers, and they are also my right-hand men. As he spoke, Ji Mingfeng pointed to the person on the bed with his hand and said in a deep voice, "That's my mentor Hong Quanfeng, the upper Holy Demon Master, one of the five cardinals of the Holy See of Light, who was besieged and injured by the two major black-clothed bishops of the Holy See of Darkness half a year ago, and now he is not well, so the Pope ordered me to escort the master back to Yinglong City, the headquarters of the Holy See of Light, and the Pope will personally treat him." ”

Ji Mingfeng paused and continued: " Originally, I should have set off for Yinglong City a few months ago, but I didn't expect to suddenly kill the people of the Dark Curia on the way to escort, because we were only three people, so I had to return to the Moon Shadow City, the Moon Shadow City had the city lord and several strong people of the Moon Shadow Academy in the Dark Sect Of course, we didn't dare to act rashly, after that, we went to the mercenary union to issue a mission, but, I didn't expect that as soon as I left the city, the people of the Dark Church attacked again, this time they sent stronger people over, and the strength was no worse than the three of us, so as soon as we shot, the three of us were restrained, and the people of the mercenary group were also annihilated in an instant, fortunately, we returned to the defense in time, which did not let the master have an accidentAfter this time, no mercenary group dared to take over the mission, and after a long time, the nature of the mission changed, in order to avoid the true situation of the mission, we can only tell the truth when we accept the mission. ”

"It turns out that this is the case, it seems that the rumors from the outside world are not all true, it is not true that only one mercenary group has taken over this point, and it seems that this mission is not an ordinary danger. Ling Xuan thought secretly.

"Then our task is to protect your master. Ling Xuan stared at the person on the bed and said.

"Yes, I know it's dangerous, but I'd like to ask the three of you to protect my master, and we'll take care of the rest ourselves, and we'll be grateful afterwards. Ji Mingfeng nodded.

"You're so sure we can protect your master, what if we can't. Qin Tongxuan next to him spoke up at this time.

After listening to Ji Mingfeng's words just now, Qin Tongxuan was actually already worried about this mission in his heart, the Dark Holy See was obviously an existence at the same level as the Light Holy See, this was something that everyone on the Hualong Continent knew, its strength and power could be imagined, but it was not something that the three of them could provoke if they hadn't even reached the Holy Domain, so Qin Tongxuan was extremely reluctant to accept this task in his heart, but now that he had taken it, there was no way to do it.

"Rest assured, the next time we fight, we will always be vigilant and stay by the side of the carriage, and never go too far again, so that even if something happens, we can come to the rescue. Ji Mingfeng hurriedly said as if he thought that Ling Xuan and the three of them would not answer.

On the other hand, Ling Xuan also guessed Ji Mingfeng's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Ji, since we have already taken over the task, we will not regret it, I also want to ask a question, what is the strength of the other party?"

This was what Ling Xuan and the three of them were most concerned about, and they could only be prepared by having a general understanding of the enemy's strength.

"The strongest strength among them is the same as mine, the strength of the peak of the upper great sword master, and there are two middle sword masters, one level lower than Yun Lu, but the most important thing is that they still have a lot of swordsman and magician-level characters under them, so we will spend money to hire a mercenary group. Ji Mingfeng explained.

"If it's just the swordsman and the magician, the three of us will definitely be able to protect Lord Hong, but if there is an accident halfway, it will be bad. Ling Xuan frowned and said with a headache.

"No matter how unexpected it is, you should send at most one or two high-ranking swordsman-level warriors over, and this point can be dragged out. Ji Mingfeng said.

"Then when should we leave?" Xiao Yuxuan asked.

"Rest now, I plan to leave in the evening, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dark See. Ji Mingfeng said.

"I think so too, even if they can catch up by then, we may be almost in Yinglong City. Ling Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in that case, let's set off after dark, and respond to Dragon City quickly. Ji Mingfeng ordered loudly.

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

Ji Mingfeng assigned Ling Xuan and the three of them to three rooms, and he also went back to sleep in the room, preparing to leave on time after dark.
