Chapter 48: The Otaku Tragedy
Lin Fan had absolute confidence in his heart, except for himself, there was no second person in the entire Dongxuan Continent who could refine the pill, as long as the city lord's daughter was poisonous, then he was 100% sure that it would be cured.
The white-haired old man seemed to want to say something, but the middle-aged Confucian was already a little impatient, for so many days, no one in the entire Wangtian City could cure his daughter's illness, and now it was finally possible for someone to cure his daughter, even if there was only one level of certainty, he had to try.
Summoning his subordinates, the city lord ordered the six medicinal herbs that the young man said in his mouth, no matter what method he used, he must find them, and saw that the city lord's face was obviously a little disgusted, and the white-haired old man also closed his mouth in recognition, but his eyes were full of malice and ridicule.
"Lord City Lord, we won't be leaving for the time being these days, you must find the medicinal herbs as soon as possible, and the more you must, the better, because I am not sure of a success, so I won't bother Lord City Lord now."
In fact, Lin Fan still had a certain amount of selfishness in his heart, because the six medicinal materials for refining the Qingling Pill were all rare spirit grasses, no matter which one they were, it was not easy to obtain, although the pills in the black pagoda were very rebellious, but in addition to being extremely difficult to refine, the medicinal materials needed were also ten thousand times rarer.
Lin Fan originally planned to start refining the five kinds of pills after he completely settled down, but after thinking about it, it was also very good to take this opportunity to collect some medicinal materials, but Lin Fan was quite kind, and he didn't say all the medicinal materials for refining the five kinds of pills, otherwise even the city lord of Wangtian City would probably collapse.
"Little brother, it's better to live in the City Lord's Mansion here, so that I can do my best as a landlord", although the middle-aged Confucian had no expression on his face, he also had a trace of vigilance in his heart, after all, there were many liars in so many days, and he had to guard against it.
"This won't bother the city lord, I still want to go around Wangtian City, after all, this is my first time here."
Seeing that the young man was unwilling to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, the middle-aged Confucian no longer insisted on it, said some polite words, and then called two guards to escort Lin Fan and the others out.
"Tell someone to follow the two of them well, and don't make a mistake", after everyone left the lobby, the middle-aged Confucian student's face instantly turned cold, and a terrifying aura suddenly covered the entire lobby.
Walking on the way back to the inn, Ling Meng'er didn't say a word, just lowered her head and walked her own way, Lin Fan was a little speechless in his heart, but in the end he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to explain anything to me?"
"There's nothing to explain, I just want to kill you by someone else's hand, it's as simple as that, now that you know my purpose, you can kill me", her voice was a little cold, seeing that her means were not successful, Ling Meng'er no longer continued to hide it, with an attitude of doing whatever you like.
sighed slightly in his heart, after listening to Ling Meng'er's words, Lin Fan did not go as violent as he imagined, because no matter what, he always took away the girl's first time, although it was a mistake made involuntarily at that time, but in the final analysis, it has happened, and it is useless to say anything now.
Lin Fan could fully understand the girl's mood, so he didn't get angry at all when he knew that Ling Meng'er was harming him, and sighed: "It was me who was wrong at the beginning, but after all, it was all the ...... of the fish."
Lin Fan seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything more, because he knew very well in his heart that everything he said now was in vain, but Lin Fan had already made his own decision in his heart, no matter what happened in the future, he would take Ling Meng'er under his command.
When he returned to the inn, after Lin Fan had completely settled Ling Meng'er, he got up and left the inn alone, originally wanting to take Ling Meng'er to wander around Wangtian City together, but now this situation is really a bit counterproductive.
Walking on the streets of Wangtian City, Lin Fan found that Wangtian City was several times more prosperous than Sunset City, and since leaving Sunset City, this was the second city he had come to.
First, he turned to a few medicinal herb shops, trying to find the medicinal materials for refining the five kinds of pills, but what made Lin Fan feel a little speechless was that after walking nearly six medicinal herb shops, he only found two kinds of medicinal materials for refining the five kinds of pills, and this Nima was too cheating.
Turning the corner, Lin Fan saw a granite high-rise building not far away, about three floors, pure white throughout, under the illumination of the day, emitting a trace of white light, from a distance, it was actually a little dazzling.
Curious in his heart, Lin Fan's footwork sped up, and he came to the white high-rise building, there were two tall girls standing in front of the door, the same height, the same face, Lin Fan even found that the smiles on the faces of the two girls were exactly the same, if it wasn't for the fact that he clearly saw the two people standing in front of him, Lin Fan even thought that what he saw was the same person.
There is a plaque hanging in front of the white high-rise building, and there are four big characters on the plaque that are dancing dragons and phoenixes, mercenary union, Lin Fan just came to the front of the white high-rise building, and one of the tall girls said in an extremely sweet voice: "Hello sir, is there anything I can serve you?"
The girl's voice almost didn't kill Lin Fan, thinking that killing people invisibly might be like this, she cleared her throat and coughed a few more times, and then Lin Fan said, "Excuse me, what does the mercenary union do?"
Hearing Lin Fan's words, the two girls who looked exactly the same were completely dumbfounded, because they had never seen such a guest, the mercenary union was famous all over the world, and everyone knew about it, but the young man in front of them asked them what the mercenary union was for?
Looking at the two people with a sluggish face, Lin Fan was a little puzzled, thinking that he was not wrong, he despised the two girls in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and then ignored the two girls, Lin Fan walked in directly.
When Lin Fan disappeared from sight, the two girls suddenly burst into laughter, their laughter was full of contempt, they really couldn't figure it out, there were people in the world who didn't know about the mercenary group.
Entering the white high-rise building, the interior decoration is elegant, giving people a feeling of emperor-like, the first floor of the whole high-rise building is empty, there are not a few people, the front is a small window, and there is a woman sitting on the platform behind each window.
In fact, just outside the high-rise building, when he saw the words mercenary union written on the plaque, Lin Fan had already guessed something in his heart, and he could already understand something from the word mercenary alone.
Slowly came to the small window, looked at the woman behind the window and asked, "I just entered Wangtian City, and I have always been in the countryside, so I don't know much about the mercenary union, can you introduce me to it?"
In fact, Lin Fan can't be blamed for this matter at all, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the original Lin family's eldest young master, the dignified Lin family's eldest young master, except for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he doesn't know anything about the mercenary group, and Lin Fan is like a hillbilly entering the city.
The attitude of the woman behind the window was obviously better than that of the two girls standing guard in front of the door, and her face did not show the slightest disdain and impatience, and patiently explained: "Our organization is called the Mercenary Union, as the name suggests, those who have cultivated to reach the level of the Great War Division or above can come to our Mercenary Union to register for tasks and take the money according to the proportion."
Sure enough, in fact, the mercenary group can be understood from the literal meaning, some people pay to find someone to do things, for example, there is a foreigner who spends money to register a task with the mercenary union, and the mercenary group takes the task, and after it succeeds, it will split the account with the mercenary union, to put it bluntly, the mercenary union is an intermediary organization.
Originally, he wanted to form a mercenary group by himself and go on adventures everywhere, but when he thought that his current cultivation had only just reached the intermediate battle master, Lin Fan could only mourn in his heart for three seconds.
When he was on Earth, Lin Fan has always been an otaku who stays at home, staying at home for more than ten years, and in the end, the house can only peek at the stewardess taking a bath, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, and the final result can only be reduced to being smashed by the black pagoda to the other world, and the tragedy is possessed by a young master, if he is not wise, maybe he would have died in another world.
"Sir, do you want to register for a task or are you going to take on a task?" Just when Lin Fan was thinking wildly and feeling about life, the woman behind the window suddenly said sweetly.
"Miss, I want to go up to the second floor to have a look, is that okay?"
Without answering the woman's words, Lin Fan looked at the stairs on the left not far away, and finally came in, he had to go upstairs to have a look, otherwise he would be so sorry for himself.
"I'm sorry, the second floor of the mercenary union only entertains members, so if you need anything, tell me directly."
Hearing the woman's words, Lin Fan was speechless, isn't it just a second floor, and he actually wants to be a member, and he despised the mercenary union fiercely, and then Lin Fan said: "In this case, can you help me see if there are any good tasks for the mercenary union now?"
Lin Fan temporarily decided that he was going to take over a mission to explore first, since Longteng Academy had been open for nearly three months, it was not the same to go early or late.
Since the crossing, in addition to Sunset City and the Nine Shadows Clan, he has only been to Wangtian City, and he doesn't know anything about the entire continent at all, since he has been living on the earth for more than ten years, then now he must not be able to live on the Dongxuan Continent anymore, he must go out for a walk and see the outside world.
"May I ask which mercenary group you are? I'll help you record it first?" After listening to the woman's words, Lin Fan was completely stunned, just now he only cared about his life, and actually forgot about this matter, it seems that registering a mercenary group requires a war division, and he is just a war division, so he can't register a mercenary group at all.
Looking left and right, Lin Fan was surprised to find that in just ten minutes of his conversation with the woman, there were many more people on the entire floor, no less than a hundred, and among them there were even strong people at the level of a great war division, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the staircase leading to the second floor, and everyone looked over.
