As a large organization that spreads all over the continent, the building of the Mercenary Association is naturally not bad, and you can see a three-story house from a distance, the wall is carved with the symbol of the sword and shield representing the Mercenary Association, which is one story high, and the rough marble door frame and the flag outside are very eye-catching.

Walking into the Mercenary Association, Fang Qiubai looked around curiously, on the neat stone floor, along the wall were covered with wooden round tables, many mercenaries were sitting around, unlike the tavern, these people were talking quietly, without making the slightest noise.

The arrival of the three didn't attract much attention, and Illya came to a counter with ease.

"I'm going to set up a mercenary group and apply for a station. Illya said to the sleepy girl at the counter. Fang Qiubai, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were gathered, and Yagami snorted even more dissatisfied.

The girl in the counter raised her head sharply and asked in surprise, "Sister Xiaoya, you want to apply for a mercenary group?"

Illya looked at the cute girl in front of her, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with green hair tied into a double ponytail, and smiled, "Rukia, that's right, I want to apply." ”

Rukia giggled as she rummaged through the counter, then handed out a document and said, "Congratulations, Sister Xiaoya, you fill this out, and then pay a deposit of five thousand gold coins, and the mercenary group has successfully applied." The security deposit is used to pay for the maintenance costs incurred by the mercenaries in your regiment for causing a bad impact on the town, and the above is required by the association's regulations. ”

Fang Qiubai craned his neck to look at it, it turned out that the document was filled in with the name of the mercenary group, the head of the regiment and the founding members, and the other words were all formulaic rules.

Seeing Illya write the three words silver oak leaf at the name of the group, Fang Qiubai asked curiously, "How did you come up with this name?"

Illya's reply was trembling: "This is the name of my father's mercenary group, which used to be the largest mercenary group in Silver Mountain, but then it dissipated. ”

Fang Qiubai didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she had to ask the waiter named Rukia: "What do you need to apply for a residency?"

The little girl looked at Fang Qiubai curiously, guessing in her heart about his relationship with Illya, and replied quickly: "Do you see the map here?" The blank space on it is prepared for the mercenary station, and you only need to pay the land rent every year. The larger the scale and the closer it is to the bustling area, the more expensive the land. ”

Fang Qiubai looked at the map and needed at least three thousand gold coins a year, that place was not only small to less than 100 square meters, but also in the remote corner of the town, he was very unhappy in his heart, but the gold coins in his hand still wanted to buy some magic crystals to absorb energy and not waste.

Suddenly, he thought of the large meadow outside the city when he first came out of the forest, and hurriedly asked, "What if the station is built outside the city?"

Rukia looked at Fang Qiubai with a smile and explained carefully: "Then you don't need money, but let's not talk about the inconvenience of life in your station, safety is a problem." Whether it's a rogue or a high-level magical beast that occasionally appears around the city, it's a big threat. ”

Fang Qiubai saw that Illya was already preparing to choose the cheapest station, so he hurriedly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Don't panic yet. I have an idea, find a place where no one is around, and you can listen to it. ”

A red glow rose on Illya's cheeks, she looked down at the wrist that was grabbed by Fang Qiubai, broke free from it with a little force, and took the lead in walking towards a round table where no one was around

Only then did Fang Qiubai react to his reckless behavior, and followed behind with an embarrassed smile. Rukia at the counter covered her mouth and snickered.

Illya, who sat down, looked at Fang Qiubai with an inquiring gaze, and the old Fang Qiubai, who was watching, turned his head sideways, scratched the tip of his nose with his index finger and whispered: "I don't think we need to waste gold coins to choose a station, it's actually quite good outside the city." ”

Illya asked strangely, "Didn't you hear Rukia just now?" If a station is only a little far away from the city, life is inconvenient, and it will be difficult to recruit mercenaries, this is just a trivial matter. But what about the security and development of the station?"

Fang Qiubai summed up the language in his mind and replied: "Actually, this is the case, we don't need to think too much about mercenaries in the early stage, my partners are like Yagami, one can top countless ones, and I can provide some buildings with special abilities from time to time, although I can't be sure what it is." ”

Illya asked curiously, "What is a building with special abilities?"

"For example, a magic tower that can learn magic, and a battle banner that allows guild members to recover twice as quickly. Fang Qiubai could only take the two cards he had seen as examples, after all, he didn't know what magical things would appear in the Dao.

"How is that possible?" Illya looked at Fang Qiubai incredulously.

Fang Qiubai smiled helplessly: "I know that this is hard to believe, but it is true. And the prerequisite for these things is that they need a large number of magic crystals, otherwise my 10,000 gold coins will not be reluctant to use them on the station. ”

After thinking for a while, Fang Qiubai added: "Let's take a step back and say, even if we don't have these buildings, do you think we have several masters like Yagami or Bell, and there will be more and more of them, are we still afraid that the station will be destroyed or no one will come to join?"

Illya smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'm sure you won't lie to me, how many magic crystals do you need? ”

Fang Qiubai replied casually: "The more magic crystals, the better, and the quality must also be high, preferably like the Thunder Wolf Dragon, or better." As for the partners, it will take 3 days to get here at the earliest. ”

Illya covered her small mouth and exclaimed: "Do you know how rare and expensive the high-grade magic crystal is?" All the materials of that thunder wolf dragon were exchanged for 20,000 gold coins, and that magic crystal was worth at least 100,000 gold coins, even if it was a worse level 4 magic beast crystal, it would cost at least 10,000 gold coins. ”

Fang Qiu was white for a long time, he didn't expect the value of the magic crystal to be so expensive.

Seeing that Fang Qiubai seemed to be frightened by the price of the magic crystal, Illya sighed and said, "Haven't you heard this kind of saying? The first order is caught everywhere, the second order is taken everywhere, the third order is based on luck, and the fourth order is rich and noble. The fifth order is sky-high, the sixth order is untouchable, the seventh order has not been seen, and the eighth and ninth orders are legends. ”

Fang Qiubai said helplessly: "Then you can only buy some low-level magic crystals first." Because this one is really important. Otherwise, in the next two days, you will settle down first, find some workers to repair a few basic buildings first, everything will be simple, and there will be no need to recruit more people for the time being. I'm sure your remaining gold should be enough. Yagami and I went to collect magic crystals and materials, and by the way, we waited for my partner to arrive, and if it went well, a new partner would arrive the night after tomorrow. ”

Illya nodded in agreement: "Then we will meet here in the morning in 3 days?"

Seeing that Fang Qiubai had no objections, Illya proposed to Rukia to build a station outside the city. In the face of Rukia's dissuasion, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, little fool, even if the station is destroyed, it will only lose a few days and a few gold coins, and it will be fine." ”

After the three of them left the Mercenary Association, a curious mercenary learned from Rukia that Illya, a female swordsman who was also slightly famous in Silver Mountain City, actually founded a mercenary group, and chose to establish a station outside the city for the first time, and the entire mercenary association was a sensation.

After separating from Illya, Fang Qiubai and Yagami bought two of the same level 1 to 3 magic crystals in the small shop in Silver Mountain City. A level 1 magic crystal with 1 silver coin can only provide 10 energy, and a level 2 magic crystal with 1 gold coin can only provide 50 points. A level 3 magic crystal worth 500 gold coins can provide 300 points, and there are also level 4 magic crystals worth 10,000 pieces, but Fang Qiubai didn't have gold coins to buy them, so he had to make another plan.

Looking at the pitiful 820 points of energy, Fang Qiubai showed a malicious smile at Yagami.

Three days later, in the depths of the Phantom Forest, a red-haired man was battling a monster the size of an adult Asian elephant, and the trees that fell from time to time and the earth that was smashed out of the crater showed the fierceness of the battle.

The demonic beast was covered in golden fur, and it was nine points like the lion Fang Qiubai knew, but it twisted from its head to the left and right with silver horns that extended.

Every attack of the beast, whether it was pounce, shear, bump, bite, or even the ball-like breath it spewed out bursting with electricity, could not reach the side of the red-haired man on the other side, but only destroyed the surrounding area.

And the reason why the red-haired man didn't make a move was because of a black-haired boy next to him who kept babbling in his mouth.

"Brother An, this silver-horned golden lion beast is a very rare fifth-level demonic beast, so make it intact. Fang Qiubai looked at the booklet in his hand that contained a lot of information about Warcraft, and looked at Yagami's opponent with bright eyes.

It turned out that Fang Qiubai thought of this method when he found that there was a serious shortage of gold coins, and pulled Yagami Nunnery to the forest where he crossed for the first time, preparing to hunt some demonic beasts back to exchange for money. However, two days have passed, except for meeting some worthless little monsters, the fate of a few barely valuable monsters is also different from what he thought.

"The fur should be intact, Brother An, you must not scratch them, you see that this person who doesn't know the way of the road still thinks it's a rag, who wants to buy it?" Fang Qiubai complained as he threw away the wolf skin in his hand that was pierced from end to end by a claw mark.

"And look at this shield crab shell, it was finally not broken by your claws, but what was burned by you? Thank you for stopping it quickly, otherwise there would be no ashes. Fang Qiubai helplessly threw out an unidentified object with a strange shape that burned black.

Yagami, who was bound for fear of accidentally destroying the materials on the demonic beast, was burned with nameless anger nagging by Fang Qiubai beside him, and one dodged around the back of the silver-horned golden lion beast, his left hand was flat on his chest, and his right palm made a lifting motion towards the dragon.

An extremely sharp light suddenly flashed in the air, and then it seemed as if all the light had been sucked into the palm of the Eight Gods, Fang Qiubai only felt that the surroundings had darkened all of a sudden, and as the light recovered, the palm of the Right Palm of the Eight Divine Temples had already lit up with a cold purple flame.

Fang Qiubai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered in a sleepwalking tone: "Li Bai Eight Style, Eight Wine Glasses!"
