This is indeed a dilapidated courtyard, and I don't know how many years it has been abandoned?

Collapsed courtyard walls, broken wooden doors, collapsed roofs, and colorless walls washed away by time......

"I found it a long time ago, it's a bit shabby, but it's a place for everyone to rest. ”

The young man leading the way reached out and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment.

If it weren't for the fact that there was nowhere else to go, he wouldn't have built yì to come here!

There were no complaints, and it would be nice for them, mercenaries, who were used to camping outside, to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Besides, this place is not too bad, the courtyard on the top of the hill, the owner of this place must have been a very elegant person before.

Everyone came to the courtyard and looked around, this abandoned courtyard was not too big, three main rooms, two side rooms, and the remaining one was made of broken stone boron.

They chose a room that was relatively spacious and rainless, and everyone decided to rest in it for the time being.

"Ahem~~"

The moment the door was opened, a musty smell choked everyone's cough.

"How long has it been since anyone has been here?"

"I don't know, the last time I found this place, I was just passing by, and I didn't come in to stay. ”

"I guess it's been two or three years!"

While chatting, everyone walked in.

took out a few flint stones, and the situation in the house suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The house was full of dust, cobwebs hung in every corner, and cockroaches escaping......

Hey, such a room is really like an antique!

"This place is already good, but I'd better clean it up. Hongyu Fei'er pinched her nose and said.

"Leave this to us, we have two mages in the wind and water in our team. ”

The tall, thin man finished speaking and beckoned to a man and a woman behind him.

Magicians, although they are relatively weak, and even need to be taken care of by their companions when they are teaming up with others, but in some cases, they can bring great convenience to the whole team.

Things like remote attack assistance, and that's like this!

It may be a lot of work for a fighter to clean this room, but for a mage, it's just a matter of a moment or two!

"I didn't expect you to have a mage in your 'Thousand Lines Mercenary Group'. Dongfang Jinxuan smiled and said that she was surprised.

Normally, only those large mercenary groups with a large number of people will have magicians, and it is really rare for a mercenary team of only nine people like this to have two magicians.

Generally speaking, if there is a fight with someone, the mage is the enemy's first target, and if there are too few team members, it will not be able to protect the mage's safety at all.

It is precisely for this reason that when ordinary magicians choose to join a mercenary group, they will choose to join a relatively large mercenary group, which not only has good treatment, but also guarantees their lives.

"Actually, we are all students who have just graduated from school, and we are relatively good on weekdays, so in order to gain some experience, we formed this mercenary group. ”

The tall, thin man explained with a smile.

This person's name is Gao Hui, don't look at his tall and thin stature, he seems to be weak, but he is the leader of this "Thousand Lines Mercenary Group".

In many cases, the leader of the mercenary group is not necessarily the most powerful, but he must be the most trustworthy!

"Oh, which Demon Martial Academy did you graduate from?" Dongfang Jinxuan asked curiously.

"I'm ashamed to say that we graduated from the 'Luo Xiu Demon Martial Academy'. The tall, thin man said with a smile.

"Luo Xiu's Demon Martial Academy, could it be the academy that once cultivated a lot of powerful people?"

Hongyu Fei'er is not from the Iron Qin Empire, but he once heard such a rumor that there is a legendary and mysterious academy in the Iron Qin Empire, from which there are many strong people who are very famous even in the entire Fighting Continent, and this academy is the "Luo Xiu Demon Martial Academy"!

"Is Luo Xiu's Demon Martial Academy so famous, why haven't I heard of it!" Dongfang Xiuzhe interjected with a wink.

But he didn't know that as soon as he finished speaking, his head was lightly hit.

"You're embarrassed to say that you stay at home all day and don't listen to things outside the window, you don't know a lot of things!" Dongfang Jinxuan seized this opportunity and hurriedly educated.

"Actually...... That was a long time ago. Gao Hui sighed, and then continued, "Today's 'Luo Xiu Demon Martial Academy' has fallen and is about to disintegrate. ”

"What's going on?" shouldn't the 'Luo Xiu Demon Martial Academy' be famous?" asked Hongyu Fei'er with wide eyes.

"Actually, I don't know much about that history, there was a big incident in our academy decades ago, I don't know what the specific incident was, but I heard that since then, the 'Luo Xiu Magic Academy' has begun to decline, and until now, even the second-rate academy can't be ranked!"

"How can this be?" Hongyu Fei'er still couldn't accept it.

Such a famous magic academy, only a few decades of time, but has not fallen to such a point?

What kind of events have been experienced that have caused such a big upheaval in a magic martial arts academy?

As if knowing what Hongyu Fei'er was thinking, Gao Hui said lightly: "For the incident that happened decades ago, I actually tried to inquire about it, but I didn't hear any news, and it has always been an unsolved mystery in our academy. ”

In fact, the current situation of the "Luo Xiu Demon Martial Academy" is even worse than what Gao Hui described, the number of students recruited each year ranks at the bottom of the entire empire, and the number of students recruited is not as good as one year after another.

In recent years, in the "Capture the Flag Competition", it was almost eliminated early, which made the reputation of the college more and more stinky, and there were no students with good qualifications willing to come here.

Even, the better teachers in the academy were poached by other magic martial arts academies!

Today's "Luo Xiu Demon Martial Academy" is so financially constrained that it is about to be unable to operate......

With the help of the two magicians, the room was quickly cleaned.

Although there was still a depressed scene around, there was no longer a pungent smell.

The crowd took advantage of some broken furniture and lit a fire.

It's still raining outside.

However, the room was warmed up because of the fire, and everyone gathered around to bake their soaked clothes.

"Second sister, aren't you going to bake the fire?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe had just changed into clean clothes, and when he saw that his second sister's clothes were still wet, he couldn't help asking.

"Little Wu, sister let you see a fun thing!"

Hearing Dongfang Xiuzhe's question, Dongfang Jinxuan smiled mysteriously.

A layer of pale red fighting qi suddenly enveloped Dongfang Jinxuan's whole body, with a temperature comparable to that of a flame, constantly evaporating the rain on her clothes.

A cloud of white gas, like a steamed bun that had just been lifted into a pot, quickly dispersed in the room.

What a skillful use of vindictiveness!

In just a moment's work, the white qi disappeared, and the clothes on Dongfang Jinxuan's body became extremely dry.

"How's it, isn't it amazing, sister sues you, this is a patent for fire attribute fighting energy!"

Dongfang Jinxuan said with a smile, hoping to hear the surprised praise from her brother's mouth.

"It's amazing indeed!"

Dropping this sentence lightly, Dongfang Xiuzhe ran over to roast the fire, leaving Dongfang Jinxuan there secretly depressed.

Everyone's spirits were gradually restored, Gao Hui suddenly stood up and said to Qu Shan Qing: "In order to thank a few people for coming to the rescue, if you don't mind, just have dinner with us!"

As he spoke, he took out a cauldron as if he were playing a trick......

"You still have this stuff with you?"

Dongfang Jinxuan walked over, and it could be seen that she was looking forward to the feeling of eating a big pot of rice.

Half an hour later, the room had a unique smell of rice.

Drinking the vegetarian soup in the cauldron, everyone felt that their tired body and mind were relieved.

After the meal, everyone sat around and chatted, all kinds of topics, whatever came to mind, without scruples.

The rain outside is still falling, and it seems that there is no intention of stopping.

While everyone was talking happily, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

The conversation ended, and everyone listened with their ears pricked up, accompanied by footsteps and some cursing.

"It's grandma's, what the hell is this weather, it's fine in the morning, and it's like this when it goes down!"

"Hey, thanks to the captain's golden thread carving, otherwise we would have been killed, and we wouldn't have found such a place to stay!"

"Next time, I'll get a flying pet beast too. ”

"Come on, just like you, you can't even support yourself, and you still want to raise pet beasts......"

The conversation of these men became much quieter as they entered the courtyard, and they must have noticed the light of the fire and became cautious.

Just as Qu Shanqing and the others were considering whether to take a look outside, the door was opened.

More than 50 people rushed in from the outside, which suddenly made the originally spacious room seem a little crowded.

Qu Shanqing and the others looked at these people a few times, and then they retracted their gaze, and neither side answered anyone.

It seems that the well water does not interfere with the river water, but because of the weather, it has gathered here improvisedly.

But—

This peace was soon shattered!

"Hey, it's too crowded here, can you go to another room!"

A little man with a hunchback walked over and said in a very unceremonious tone to Qu Shan Qingji, who was roasting the fire.

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive and tense.

"Hey, you're still unreasonable, but we came here first!" Gao Hui said angrily.

They finally cleaned up the place, and the fire was lit, and they didn't mind if these guys suddenly broke in, but they didn't expect that these guys were not grateful and wanted to turn against the guests!

"If you can't go, where did you get so much nonsense!"

The man's attitude was very arrogant, obviously relying on his own large number of people.

"If you want to go, if you want to do it, just say it!" Qu Shan said coldly.

The people on the other side who were chatting all gathered around, and the whole room immediately became tense.

A rush is about to be staged!
