The nine newcomers were left by Ouyang Feng to temporarily familiarize themselves with the goods in the store with Delia and Locke, polish off the arrogance in their hearts, and face the future work with a normal heart.

The position of the shopkeeper is temporarily vacant, this is not something that can be found in a while, but there are not enough guys, Ouyang Feng didn't want to wait any longer, and decided to choose from ordinary people.

Pei Di was busy here, and Zhan Tianhu was not idle, when he released the news of the expansion of the Tiger Mercenary Group in the mercenary union, the mercenaries went crazy again, this time there were more applicants than last time, Zhan Tianhu did not interview in the mercenary union this time, and after preliminary screening, the interview location was set as the station of the Tiger Mercenary Group.

Zhan Tianhu has been a mercenary for so many years, although the reputation is not very good, but there are still many acquaintances and friends, these people are very eager to enter the Tiger mercenary group, because the treatment here is really good, so these acquaintances and friends have found Zhan Tianhu to pull friendships, set close, and use their treasured good things to buy Zhan Tianhu, and some even give gold coins directly, just for that one or a few places.

If the previous Zhantian Tiger would have been happy to see these gifts, but the current Zhantian Tiger is not what it used to be, he regards the Tiger Mercenary Group as his own painstaking effort, and regards Ouyang Feng and others, who have the grace of knowing him, as brothers in life and death, changed his previous ugliness, strictly refused all kinds of bribes, treated all mercenaries equally, and was bound to choose the most suitable candidate, and because of this, he offended many former friends.

Ouyang Feng found Zhan Tianhu when he learned about this, and said seriously: "I said Tiger, did I not explain it before or did you have poor comprehension?"

Zhan Tianhu said suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Ouyang Feng said angrily: "I told you before. I'm also going to form a Qingyuan mercenary group. Qingfeng and Mingyue are preparing for this. ”

Zhan Tianhu said inexplicably: "I know this. Fourth, what's going on?"

Ouyang Feng patiently explained: "The Qingyuan Mercenary Group is the real armed force of our Qingyuan Guild, and the Tiger Mercenary Group is just a decoration and a disguise, the purpose is to show other forces, and then there is just to deter ordinary people, so there is no need to be so strict." I put you in charge of recruitment, just to let you take the opportunity to make a small fortune, you can be good. They all refused. ”

Zhan Tianhu was stunned for a long time, and then said sneeringly: "Fourth master, do you mean to let me accept those gifts?

Ouyang Feng smiled and said: "You can do this yourself, remember, the meaning of the Tiger Mercenary Group is to give people the feeling that our Qingyuan Guild will only bully ordinary people, but has no real strength." Zhan Tianhu asked in surprise: "Four masters, what are you doing here?"

Ouyang Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this for now, I haven't thought about the specifics yet, anyway, you just do it." Zhan Tianhu nodded helplessly.

Ouyang Feng was about to leave. Suddenly remembering something, he turned back to the serious battle against the Heavenly Tiger and said, "Tiger." Let's talk about it first, you can't take the gift alone, let's two and a half, don't be corrupt. Zhan Tianhu rolled his eyes.

Next, after Zhan Tianhu accidentally said that he had accepted someone's gift into the Tiger Mercenary Group, those guys who couldn't give gifts before ignited hope again, and they felt self-righteously that they had given too few gifts before, and Zhan Tianhu didn't look down on them at all, so almost all of these guys took out their old books and visited Zhan Tianhu again. Sure enough, this time, after seeing the gift, Zhan Tianhu did not have a dead face like before, and received his former friends with a smile on his face, and he was very enthusiastic.

In the end, when the Tiger had finally successfully expanded the Tiger Mercenary Group to five hundred, the Tiger had two storage bracelets filled with various gifts and gold coins.

Of course, the people recruited by the Zhantian Tiger are not all mercenaries who are useless and plan to come over to mingle, he kept an eye on it, and selected fifty mercenaries from all the applicants who are very good in terms of skill, cultivation, experience and character, and he plans to integrate these people together as the backbone of the Tiger Mercenary Group.

Zhan Tianhu felt that such a big brother mercenary group could not have no combat effectiveness at all, and it would be really embarrassing to have hundreds of people out and not even be able to defeat a powerful demonic beast.

Before this recruitment, Ouyang Feng also asked Zhan Tianhu if he wanted to recruit some guards such as nursing homes or something, and they were responsible for the security work of the villa to replace Zhan Tianhu, but Zhan Tianhu vetoed it, in their hearts, it was an honor to be a security guard in the villa, and they didn't want to give this glory to others.

In this regard, Ouyang Feng didn't say much, but handed over the security work of the villa and shop to Zhan Tianhu, and as for the safety of the alchemy and refining factory in the future, Ouyang Feng planned to hand it over to Alger and the Qingyuan mercenary group to be responsible.

Ouyang Feng and the others were so busy that they hit the back of their heads one by one, and Gunter, who was forcibly ordered to rest, also came over to join in the fun, and released information on recruiting alchemy and refining apprentices, because they were really short of manpower.

Alchemy and refining tools are all techniques of cultivators, if you want to learn, the prerequisite is that you must be a cultivator, with the previous failed experience of recruiting cultivators, Ouyang Feng is not optimistic about Gunter's recruitment, but the result is that Ouyang Feng was shocked, not only did he sign up very enthusiastically, but there were also many cultivators who were willing to spend money to learn from Gunter and others.

The reason is very simple, which of the elixirs and magic weapons that cultivators need are priceless, and if you want to buy good elixirs and magic weapons, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to bear, so most people want to refine them by themselves, but they don't have the opportunity to get in touch with these mysterious things, and the general alchemists and refiners rarely recruit apprentices, and now there are fewer and fewer alchemists and refiners, as long as they can become apprentices and master a craft, no matter where they go, they can have a good development, and the coveted spar will no longer be a luxury, so it will be such a hot scene again。

Of course, although they are only apprentices, Ouyang Feng can't accept everyone, after all, they may come into contact with a lot of secrets, so they are only responsible for discovering people with alchemy and refining talents, and the rest is left to Ouyang Feng to choose.

After some inquiries and investigations, Ouyang Feng selected ten apprentices from a large number of applicants and assigned them to Gaunt and Burton to teach. In fact, there is no teaching, alchemy and refining tools not only rely on talent, but also have tenacity and patience to improve the level in continuous practice, and it is this excuse that Gunt and they plan to let the new apprentices help everyone with chores and do free labor, of course, if they are in a good mood, they will also teach a little something.

After being busy for many days, the recruitment matter was finally over, and before Ouyang Feng could take a good rest, Qingfeng reminded: "It's almost time, Erjie and they should be back soon, shouldn't we go and deal with Nina's affairs?" Ouyang Feng patted his head and nodded helplessly.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Feng, Barlow, Mingyue, Bruce, plus Elena and Adonis, the six of them were ready to go on a secret mission. Originally, the rice bucket was also clamoring to go with everyone, but his size was too obvious and was vetoed by Ouyang Feng.

As for Elena and Adonis, Ouyang Feng brought the two of them this time to let them have a real trial along the way, to see if this kid is suitable to become a thief, and this secret mission is not intended to let the two know for the time being.

After breakfast, Ouyang Feng and the six of them left Ula City on horseback, first went to the earth furnace construction site to have a look, and after confirming that it was completely completed after more than ten days, they came to the location of the spar mine.

At this time, the cave where the spar mine is located has been occupied by countless miners, who use various tools to continuously strengthen the original mine according to the foreman's instructions to prevent collapse, and more than a dozen old miners like the foreman are gathering together to discuss which direction to start mining.

The mining of the spar mine has not yet been on the right track, and the three city lords of Gail, Yaheng and Angelo have not left, and the chief steward of the three cities is constantly going back and forth between the cities and the spar mine, coordinating and dispatching all the materials and manpower, and also dealing with some daily trivial matters, which can be said to be very busy.

Ouyang Feng said hello to the three of them, looked at them casually, and then left quietly with Elena and the others, without taking the main road, into the mountains and forests in the north.

Away from the crowd, Ouyang Feng and Mingyue released the Azi cat and Big Panya who were put into the spirit beast bag, and as soon as the two guys came out, they were excited to see the friendly mountain forest, and they ran away all of a sudden.

Ouyang Feng and Mingyue are not worried, the two guys are now the strength of sixth-level demonic beasts, and it is basically impossible to encounter any danger, even if they encounter more powerful demonic beasts on their backs, with their speed, there is still no problem in escaping.

Ignoring the two guys running around in the nearby forest, Elena, as a mentor, began to strictly teach Adonis to observe all kinds of subtle traces, and to arrange some simple mechanisms that thieves should master. Trap or something, in fact, these Elena was not very clear before, but these days, she has thought clearly, if you want the little white face of Adonis to stay and follow her all the time, then the little white face of Adonis must become a qualified thief, otherwise this team will not take in a useless waste to follow all the time, that is too much waste of time and energy, so while Elena teaches Adonis, she also secretly specializes in the skills of thieves, and teaches her understanding and experience without reservation.

Adonis's little white face seems to be pampered, but he is a hard-working guy in his bones, especially he likes the profession of thief very much, coupled with his seriousness and modesty, the progress these days is quite great. (To be continued......)
