Chapter 222: The Mysterious Master

Ye Xian moved on his toes and was about to step out, Wen Renyan took the first step to speak, "Let's not talk about whether the two of us have evaded fees, the spirit pet needs to pay the entrance fee to enter the city, but it is written on the city rules of Blue Flame City?" ”

The city lords of the Lingwu Continent have extremely high autonomy and enjoy the right to make city rules.

Of course, this does not mean that the city lord can make the city rules as he pleases, and before the city rules are issued, the city lord must report the city rules to the imperial capital and obtain the emperor's approval before it can be officially established.

Just like Blue Flame City, because of the special situation, it used the Qingxin Pill instead of currency, which was also the tacit approval of the Great Yan Emperor first.

Wen Renyan's question made the captain stunned for a moment, his face became more and more ugly, and his skin seemed to be scorched by fire, showing bloodshot like a spider's web.

"Bold! You even dare to raise an objection, do you want to break into the city in violation of the law and provoke the city lord! ”

The captain is obviously very good at using his power, and he opened his mouth to detain a black pot for Wen Renyan.

He saw that Ren Yan and Ye Xian did not show panic on their faces, and with a long spear, the tip of the spear was pointed directly at the two of them, threatening: "Leave the Qingxin Pill and follow me to the dungeon, you can choose one!" ”

The surrounding soldiers did not dare to breathe.

There were many people in the queue who showed indignation, but because of the captain's obscenity, they dared not speak out.

"I'll pick the third one."

The captain showed that he was not well-intentioned, and Ye Xian was too lazy to deal with the other party again.

She stepped forward with lightning speed, directly grabbed the spear in the opponent's hand, and then used the head of the pole to provoke the captain's armor and threw the person directly out of the city.

Everyone present felt a flower in front of them, and then they heard a frightened scream.

Again, the captain's figure had turned into a black dot and disappeared from their field of vision.

The audience was silent.

Ye Xian patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and said to Wen Renyan: "Let's go." ”

Wen Renyan smiled slightly and nodded yes.

The two of them left under the gaze of everyone.

It took a while for the other soldiers defending the city to react, looking at each other, not knowing whether to chase after them and stop them, or to go outside the city to look for their captain.

"Good!"

At this moment, the crowd suddenly burst into applause.

The others were stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and clapped their hands in agreement.

"Hahaha, relieving, so relieving!"

"I've long seen that his turtle grandson is not pleasing to the eye, and finally someone has taken action to rectify it! Refreshing! ”

"Well deserved! That squad leader is not just relying on a relative who is on an errand in the City Lord's Mansion, what is there to be proud of! Retribution! ”

“……”

Ye Xian could still hear the cheers behind him when he walked away, and couldn't help but hook his lips and chuckle, "It seems that I can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

Wen Renyan: "A Xian is righteous." ”

Ye Xian was amused by Wen Renyan's serious appearance.

Wen Renyan knew that she would punish her because she saw the other party's domineering, but she still echoed when she was boasting, and Ye Xian suddenly felt a sense of comfort that she was unconditionally supported.

Neither of them took what they had just done to heart, and after entering the city, they followed the address on the mission and found a quaint mansion.

When the guards of the house heard that they were mercenaries who had come to take over the mission, they looked them up and down in surprise and told them to wait for a moment to go in and report the news.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a round figure and two mustaches walked out briskly under the guidance of the guards, "Distinguished guest? Where's your guest? ”

"Steward He, it's the two of them." The guards who followed hurriedly gave directions.

"You took the task?"

Steward He originally had a little urgent joy on his face, but when he saw Ye Xian and Wen Renyan's unusually young appearances, the look of disappointment was about to overflow from his eyes.

Ye Xian handed over the task slip to show the other party.

Steward He sighed slightly, cheered up again, waved back the guards, and led Ye Xian and Wen Renyan into the mansion by himself.

"The two distinguished guests look quite young, I don't know where they came from?"

Ye Xian observed the environment in the mansion and replied casually: "Imperial capital." ”

Steward He was not surprised, and praised: "The land is good, the people are outstanding, no wonder the two of you can take on the S-class task at such a young age." ”

This sentence is not a deliberate slap on the back of Ye Xian and Wen Renyan, but the heartfelt words of Steward He.

S-level tasks not only mean high risks and high returns, but this is also a threshold in itself, and those who can pass the verification of the mercenary alliance must have the strength to match it.

If it were another time, Steward He would definitely try his best to get closer to the two, but now......

With a heavy and complicated heart, Steward He put Ye Xian and Wen Renyan in the living room, "Wait a minute, I will ask the master to come out and meet you immediately." ”

"Please."

Steward He left in a hurry, Ye Xian sat down, took the little cat beast on his shoulder into his arms and stroked it gently, and the voice quietly came into Wen Renyan's ears, "It seems that this mission is not as simple as the two of us thought." ”

"Wait and see."

Ye Xian raised his eyebrows, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to comb the little cat beast.

Soft fingertips ran through the hair, and the kitten half-squinted and purred in comfort.

After a while, there was a slight noise outside the door, and Ye Xian put the little cat beast back on his shoulder and got up to stand.

The little cat meowed complainingly, and when Ye Xian ignored it, he buried his head and licked his paws.

Steward He pushed a wheelchair in through the door and said apologetically, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Ye Xian and Wen Renyan said that it was okay, but they were shocked at the same time.

Because the person who was pushed in a wheelchair by Steward He can no longer be described by the word human.

He was skinny, his skin was charred, and everywhere he was exposed, there were terrifying cracks, and even blackened bones could be faintly seen.

Although he wears a square scarf, it can be judged by his bare facial features that all the hair on his body has fallen out for some reason.

If it weren't for the fact that he could get a glimpse of a scorching breath or two from him, Ye Xian would have felt that this was actually a charred corpse, not a living person.

Ye Xian and Wen Renyan were shocked in their hearts, and there was no slightest revelation on their faces.

"Ho... Whew..."

At this moment, there was a sudden ho-ho sound in the throat of the "charred corpse".

Steward He: "This is my master greeting the two of you, thank you two for taking over the task and rushing from the imperial capital to Blue Flame City." ”

Ye Xian: "Your master is polite. ”

It was the first time Ye Xian had encountered this situation, so she decided to talk less and listen more.

"Ho... Ho... Whew..."

"Scorched Corpse" spoke again.

Every time he spoke, it seemed to take a lot of energy, so his voice grew weaker and weaker.

Ye Xian concentrated on listening, but he still couldn't distinguish what the other party said, so he could only look at Steward He again.

Steward He's face was grim: "My master said that since this mission was released, countless mercenaries have come to take it, but in the end they all failed, and even many people lost their lives, so he wants to confirm again, do you really want to take this task?" ”

The author has something to say: I'm sorry readers, the unlucky author was hospitalized for an open surgery a week ago, and he was unmarried and had no children to suffer the pain of cutting his abdomen in advance, so he broke off for a week, and he felt guilty, and then he would try to keep it stable and updated, and bow and apologize again.
