Chapter Twenty-Nine: A New Mission
"Father!" A tall, tall and mighty man stood beside Zhong Shan, his breath was short, and he seemed to have something important to tell him after a long time.
"Jong Hyun, you're back." Zhong Shan looked at the man and nodded for him to sit down. "How are the two things that have been given to you?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Zhong Ming and I killed a red-eyed group last night, and obtained a sample of the light point generated when he died, and now it has been sent to the castle scholar's mansion, waiting for the results." Jong Hyun sat down next to Jong San.
"You've come into contact with the Red-Eyed? Didn't you say that you should only follow the truth? Did you know you existed? A hint of anger flashed in Zhong Shan's eyes, he didn't like disobedient children, even if this child was already a sword general who was about to be on an equal footing with him.
"Well, Masamu didn't know we existed, we rescued a young girl next to him. After the girl left Masei last night, she was hunted down and killed by the red-eyed people. Zhong Hyun felt Zhong Shan's unpleasantness and said in a low voice.
"Girl? This kid didn't have long to get into a girl? The corners of Zhong Shan's mouth turned up and he smiled.
"They are not in a relationship, they went to the black market together yesterday, and asked a woman named Meizi about the black rectangular metal square (mobile phone) on the black market. Listening to the people nearby, Masei seemed to be very excited after hearing this, and made a few loud noises, and then was driven out by the store guards. ”
"Black rectangular metal cube (mobile phone)" Zhong Shan silently recited the name of the object, which he had come into contact with more than twenty years ago, and the man at the time seemed to call such an object a mobile phone. Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes, he already had an eyebrow for many things in his heart.
"Where's Zhong Ming?" Zhong Shan then asked.
"I'm still following them, and after I went to the castle to deliver a sample of the light, I separated from him." Jonghyun said that his eyes had been reluctant to look directly at his father.
"Okay, got it. Call him back tonight. It's time for us to go. Zhong Shan stood up from his luxuriously decorated chair and moved his muscles. He looked at Jonghyun, who had been keeping his head down, and asked one last thing. "Zhong Zhi's side, how's it going?"
Hearing his father's question, Jonghyun was silent for a while. His heart seemed to be entangled in something, and after a pause of a few seconds, Jonghyun gritted his teeth and said, "My sister has been trying to escape, and now she is under house arrest by her mother in the castle tower. I shouldn't have woken up yet. ”
"Well, well." Zhong Shan didn't say anything, he guessed that this would be the result. Jong-san left his seat and waved his hand for Jong-hyun to step down. Then he stood on the top of the city wall with the best view. Looking down from this position, you can see countless soldiers in battle armor standing straight on the grassland outside the city of bells. They are numerous, covering a considerable area of grassland, and the scene is quite spectacular.
"Report! Bell City has fully assembled the Blood Demon Raider. 10,000 cavalry, 35,000 infantry, 10,000 archers, and 5,000 bell-armed soldiers. A total of 60,000 people are all ready to go, please give the order of the city lord! The communications soldier knelt down on one knee and reported to Zhong Shan.
"Drumming and music! The infantry regiment moved first and set up a defense at the border of Bell City, 20 kilometers away. The Gecko Swordsmen and the Flying Fish Swordsmen followed. The Archers and Cavalry Regiments, as well as the Bell Armor Corps, are waiting here and will set off at 10 p.m. this evening! Zhong Shan gave an order. On the city wall, drums beat in unison, which is a common method used by the army to transmit information. They receive orders from their superiors through the beating of the drums and the length of their voices.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock! The dense drumbeat made a deafening sound, and the infantry phalanx of 35,000 men set off with great momentum. Immediately afterwards, the two swordsmen beside Zhong Shan also got up and retired. They are also to lead their respective Exorcist Swordsmen and infantry legions together.
Watching the troops on the march drift away, Zhong Shan's gaze slowly moved to the other side of Bell City, where a huge crowd had also gathered. But these people were different from the heavily armed regular army, they were all poor people who were plainly dressed.
After the war notice was issued by Bell City two days ago, the crowd began to evacuate these areas that could be involved in the war. Leaving their hometown, they had no choice but to take refuge in the nearby City of Bells. Some of these refugees could not afford the expensive travel and lodging expenses in the city of bells, so they had to pitch tents on the outskirts of the city and pray for an early end to the war.
"Second uncle, in the days when I am not in the city, you must properly arrange the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of these refugees. Although they are not residents of Bell City, they are all people who live nearby. Many of them were involved with the people in the city, and they could be relatives and friends of the people in the city. Zhong Shan instructed the white-haired old man beside him.
"Lord of the City, don't worry. I have been the head of housekeeping at Bell City for more than 40 years. The white-haired old man stroked his beard and looked calm.
"There is also the matter of the little girl in the family, and the second uncle has to do the work." Zhong Shan then added.
"Out of the way, out of the way. The marriage with the Norman family, the old man has also been in charge of it several times, and the lord of the city should let go of a hundred hearts, concentrate on killing the enemy, and triumph as soon as possible. The white-haired old man smiled, then stood up and saluted, and then withdrew.
The twelfth-order high-ranking monster, I don't know if I can come back this time. Zhong Shan looked at the blood-stained sky in the distance with a complicated expression, which was the signal of the blood demon's attack. His long flowing eyebrows drifted behind him with the wind, and the blue-handled sword in his hand became tighter and tighter.
Behind Zhongshan is the lights of thousands of homes, curling smoke, is the peaceful and happy life of the residents of Zhongzhicheng, this expedition carries the hope of the people, and there is a long way to go.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
At the same time, Masei looked up at the front of the block, and at the end of the vertical and horizontal block, stood a tall building, the outer edge of this building was golden, and the doorway was also very luxurious and atmospheric. On the signboard at the door, Makoto saw the words 'Bounty Union' in large and conspicuous letters.
This morning, he separated from Ailu and rode alone with six of his men to the location of the Bounty Guild.
Without further ado, Majo led his men towards the building, which seemed to be made of gold. Along the way, the people around me cast strange eyes, and their eyes were full of unfriendliness. "Look, there's another bunch of poor newcomers" "yes, let's make a bet and guess how long they'll live here." The men whispered, and the words were clearly heard by Zhencheng's sensitive ears. In this way, they silently walked into the door of the bounty union.
The hall of the Bounty Guild is wider than expected, with warriors of all stripes shuttling back and forth, and many trading desks around the hall where bounty hunters line up to collect tasks and bounties. Zhencheng reached into his pocket and took out the emerald green badge that Zhong Zhi had given him when he was leaving. Then he picked a random window and lined up at the end of the line.
"Next!!" After a long wait, accompanied by a snarky shout, Masei walked to the window. The emaciated face of a middle-aged woman appeared at the window, her old and floppy skin wrapped in a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"What business are you going to handle?" The middle-aged woman asked Shinseung in a mean voice.
"I'm going to sign up as a bounty hunter." Masamu replied, uncomfortable stared at by the woman's sharp eyes.
"Huh." The woman didn't speak, just sneered twice, she cleared her throat and said, "Go and get a form on the left side, and fill in your information and the number of registrations on it." Give it to me when it's written. Next!! ”
In this way, Shinsei followed the woman's words and began to fill in the information. His subordinates stood on the side of the hall and watched their master go about his work. Looking at this man who was an ordinary college student a few days ago, he is now the leader of a unit.
The number of troops is 7 people, 4 sword and shield men, 2 shortbow hunters, 1 medic, 1 captain. After filling out the information, Masumi delivered the form to the front desk along with the emerald green badge this time.
The woman looked shocked at the badge for a moment, and then she looked at Makoto again with a hint of respect in her eyes, and no longer despised it. "Wait a minute, I'll handle it for you." The woman politely sorted out Zhencheng's information, and after 5 minutes, 8 shiny identification cards were passed from the counter to Zhencheng's hand.
"Congratulations, you've signed up as a Bounty Hunter, and now you can go to the Central Hall to claim quests or sell information. If you need anything, please consult the relevant service staff. You are a silver-level hunter given by the Zhong family, and you have all the permissions below level 2 of the union. The woman explained to Shinsei in detail the terms and regulations of the Bounty Guild, "By the way, let me tell you that with your hunter's pass, you can get back the personal weapons you seized when you entered the city, and you don't have to hand in your weapons when you enter and leave the city in the future." The woman looked at the whole clothed Manjo and his group, and with years of experience, she could guess that Shinjo's weapon had been seized when she entered the city.
"Okay, thanks." Masamu digested the woman's words, and then he exited the window and turned back into the central hall. In the very center of the central hall, there is a giant column that leads to the roof, and the columns are densely packed with various bounty tasks. The Giant Cylinder is divided into three areas, which are the C-Class, B-Class, and A-Class missions. In different areas, bounty hunters of all levels exchange information and claim quests.
Makomi shuttled through the flow of people and walked to the counselor on the side of the cylinder.
"Hello! How can I help you? A young female counselor walked over to Shinseong with a smile.
"Ahem, uh, that." Shinsei looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as him, and a sense of tension arose. Damn it! Makoto sometimes really hates his shyness, and every time he talks to a strange girl of the same age, his language organization and thinking skills are halved. However, now is not the time to twist, Lilisa is still suffering at the hands of the red-eyed.
"That... I'm going to consult about an organization called the Red Eyed Crowd" Makoto gritted his teeth, restrained his shyness, and asked the most crucial question.
"The red-eyed?" Hearing Makoto's inquiry, the female counselor's pretty face became gloomy. She looked at the young boy in front of her, but her eyes were like looking at a dead man. "I advise you not to get involved with the Red-Eyed Crowd, it's for your own good" The female counselor said something outside the scope of her duties, she had received too many people who wanted to arrest the Red-Eyed Crowd before, but they had not heard from them since, she couldn't bear to let the pretty handsome guy in front of her go to death again.
Looking at the reaction of the female counselor, Makomi also had a general understanding of the danger of the red-eyed people. He frowned and tried to continue asking, when a rough voice came from behind him.
"The red-eyed people are also provoked, it seems that they are impatient to live, if you seek death, don't be so troublesome, uncle, I can help you." A big man said angrily.
