Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hot Springs of the Gathering House

Facing Illya, who wanted to see, Fang Qiubai, who didn't know how to express it, was defeated after looking at Illya silently for a while, and turned around to come to the mercenaries with a red face.

"Now the mercenary group has recruited 150 new mercenaries, although there are very few people, I think you should also have a lot of pressure, right? And now that the demonic beasts in the Phantom Forest are dead and wounded, and there is no suitable place for you to train, I think you are a little unaccustomed to it, right?" Fang Qiubai said loudly in front of the mercenary queue like an instructor.

The mercenaries present, including Bruce and others, all nodded in agreement, there was no battle of life and death with Warcraft, just a friendly battle between comrades-in-arms, the improvement of strength was really limited.

"Coupled with the threat of super monsters, even if you have the strength, don't think about going to the depths of the forest to exercise. Fang Qiubai told the warning of the super demonic beast to everyone again, causing everyone to exclaim.

"However, I have news for you, as a mercenary of Silver Oak Leaf, don't worry even if there are no more magical beasts in the world, I just got a building here that is suitable for you to train yourself. ”

Looking at the group of mercenaries in front of him who were looking at him in confusion, Fang Qiubai smiled and said, "I'd better summon the building first, and you'll know the way in a while." ”

Illya followed Fang Qiubai towards a corner, and asked suspiciously, "Is it the same as the Karinta you said can increase your strength?"

Fang Qiubai shook his head and smiled, "No, Kalinta is too eye-catching, and in terms of effect, it should be higher than this assembly hall. However, the meeting hall should be less conspicuous. ”

The two came to an empty corner, and with Fang Qiubai's thought, a building full of Japanese style appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.

It is a house made of large blocks of ashlar stone and stout logs, which roughly looks like about 300 square meters, with red strips of cloth and exotic ornaments hanging from the eaves.

Although it is a one-story house, there is a tower-like dome on top, and a faint white mist is rising from the windows of the dome.

"Wait a minute, I don't know much about this building right now. Fang Qiubai turned back to Bruce and said, opened the red curtain hanging at the door, and walked in, Illya hurriedly followed.

Zhuge Liang shook his head at Lina, who was also interested in wanting to enter, and asked instead, "Who is the red-haired person in the corner?"

"His name is Yagami-an, and he came here before me. Lena replied as she looked at Yagami who was still thinking.

Bruce walked over and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Mr. Zhuge , since you are free now, let me introduce you to you?"

Fang Qiubai stepped into the assembly hall, and his eyes lit up. On the ground of the large stone of the assembly hall, a thick red carpet was covered, and the feet stepped on it softly, without making a sound.

Just like the Mercenary Association, there is a task board, there is also a place to receive tasks, and there is even an old man half a meter tall at the front desk, with a white beard dragged to his chest, and a wine gourd in his hand and keeps drinking.

The old man was sitting at the reception desk of the assembly hall, and when he saw Fang Qiubai and the two coming in, he greeted him warmly: "Welcome, welcome, you can choose the level of the task here." ”

Fang Qiubai asked curiously, "Are you?"

"Old man, I forgot my name for a long time, just call me Lao Tzu. The white-bearded old man replied with a grin.

"So how are the mission levels here? Fang Qiubai opened his mouth and mentioned business.

Illya, who was originally curiously looking inside the assembly hall, also walked over with interest, ready to listen to the old man's explanation.

"Since this is a beginner meeting place, you can only take on quests with a difficulty of 1-5 stars, of course, as the host, you can take any quest at any time, while other users must start with 1 star and gradually increase their level. The old man replied unhurriedly.

"Isn't this the same as the Mercenary Guild, what are the missions?" Illya blurted out.

"I know this, from the simplest collection task or killing wild boars or something, all the way to killing dragons. Fang Qiubai hurriedly replied.

"No, no, there is no collection mission here, the real strong only need to face life and death battles, so there is only a hunting mission. The old man reminded.

Fang Qiubai, who answered incorrectly, laughed dryly, looked around with embarrassment, and suddenly saw a red curtain hanging on a wooden wall not far away, and a thick white fog behind the curtain wall was rising.

"Could that be Jieyun Hot Spring?" Fang Qiubai said with great joy.

"That's right, it's the most famous specialty of Yuyun Village, Yuyun Hot Spring. The old man nodded.

"Xiaoya, let's go soak in the hot springs first, and then let's take a look at what monster hunting functions this gathering provides?" Fang Qiubai proposed with great interest.

Illya's face turned crimson, and she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the hot spring, and just seeing the white mist produced by the hot spring, she felt the urge to soak in it.

After hesitating for a while, Illya bit her lower lip and agreed to Fang Qiubai's proposal with a red face.

"Yukata robes are provided next to this hot spring, so please enjoy it to the fullest. The old man added in due course.

There was a red cloth hanging on the wooden wall around the hot spring, which said the entrance, Fang Qiubai rushed over, and Illya followed behind him with a shy face.

"No, this is the female entrance, and the male one is on the left. The old man shouted from behind.

Fang Qiu, who was about to open the curtain, stiffened his white hands, turned his head and asked incredulously, "Huh, are they still divided into men and women?"

And Illya, who heard the old man speak, instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and even her steps became brisk.

Looking at Fang Qiubai, who pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not answer his question, he reluctantly walked towards the male entrance, and did not forget to remind: "Xiaoya, just experience it a little, there will be opportunities to soak in the future, the most amazing thing about this hot spring is that it can improve the user's physical strength and endurance within a certain period of time." ”

Only then did Illya understand what Fang Qiubai suddenly proposed to soak in the hot spring, and Illya, who felt that she had misunderstood something, became uncalm again.

Fang Qiubai walked into the male-only hot spring alone, quickly changed into a bathrobe, and slid neatly into the misty hot spring.

"Huh" Fang Qiubai, who was only left with a head floating on the surface of the water, exhaled a long breath, surrounded and caressed by the satin-like hot springs, and his body and mind were in a state of extreme relaxation, but he didn't know what the road was for, and there was a faint loss in his heart, as if he had missed something good

Considering that Bruce and the others were still waiting outside, Fang Qiubai just enjoyed it a little and resolutely left the hot spring, and after a while, Illya also walked out of the women's area.

Illya's long, slightly damp purple hair was falling behind her head, and small droplets of water were dripping on the red carpet at the tips of her hair. Because of the hot springs just now, Illya's charming face was flushed at this moment, and she looked extremely attractive. As she approached, she could still smell a faint aroma, if there was nothing.

"Do I have flowers on my face?" Illya asked with a chuckle, the flush on her face darkening.

"Ah, now that we're done, let's go and see the mission of this assembly house. Fang Qiubai looked left and right very embarrassedly.

"You want to take the task, right?" The old man took out a book, put it on the table, pointed to the book and said: "There are 1-5 star missions here, choose to pay the contract fee with me, I will make a mission contract for you, and you can pass through the teleportation point next to it." ”

"Teleportation point?" Fang Qiubai and Illya looked in the direction of the old man's finger, there was only an ordinary wooden door.

"That door is impassable, and people with mission contracts will teleport to the location of the mission when they go there. The old man saw the puzzled look of the two and explained.

"Will there be a danger to your life during the mission?" Illya asked, more attentively.

"No, if you are exhausted in it, that is, if you die, it will only be counted as a failure of the mission, not only will you not get any reward, you will not be able to take the task again within a day, and even the contract money will not be refunded to you. ”

"Why don't you call Lina and them to go together?" Fang Qiubai was self-aware and took the initiative to propose.

Out of an inexplicable mentality, Illya refused without hesitation: "No need, just the two of us, anyway, just go and see it, just choose a simple task." ”

"Okay, let's take a look at the 1-star mission. Fang Qiubai opened the task book.
