Chapter 182: Puppet
The hall of this mercenary association is extremely spacious, and there is a long queue in front of the assessment area, but there are not many young people who have joined the ranks of mercenaries, most of them are old mercenaries who feel that their strength has entered the country and plan to raise their mercenary level a little more.
The old mercenaries all wore a bronze badge pinned to their chests, and the pocket swords crossed over the badge represented the symbol of the mercenary association.
Of course, there are also some mercenaries who wear the unique marks of the mercenary group in addition to the badge, and these are all mercenaries who have already joined the team.
Bai Yang glanced twice, and found that all the mercenaries present were bronze-level mercenaries, and the strongest strength did not exceed the second stage of Gangqi, but when they reached the Gangqi realm, they were eligible to participate in the assessment of black-iron-level mercenaries, and the treatment of bronze-level mercenaries and black-iron-level mercenaries was very different, so those mercenaries whose strength reached the black iron line could not wait to participate in the black-iron level assessment and raise their star rating a little more.
Because most of the people who will become mercenaries are people from poor families who need to work hard to make money to support their families, the threshold of large sects and big families is too high, and the treatment of small families is not very ideal, and only by becoming a mercenary can they get the corresponding rewards for their own efforts.
The long line in front of him quickly turned into a few people, and when Bai Yang handed the piece of iron in his hand to the middle-aged man who was a little lazy, the other party looked at the piece of iron without raising his head, and sneered: "Why are there so many newcomers today?" ”
Taking the piece of iron, the middle-aged man fed his white battle qi into it, preparing to make a record.
Bai Yang said softly: "Gangqi Ninth Stage, there is no mercenary group. ”
"Gangqi Nine Sections, huh...... Huh?" The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Yang a few times in surprise, but because he was covered with a cloak, the middle-aged man only judged from his voice that the person in front of him was not very old, so he said half-convinced: "Are you sure that you are a gangqi nine-stage? ”
"Boy, this is not a place to play housework, don't waste our time if you don't have the ability!" said a mercenary wearing a bronze badge with some impatience.
The mercenaries who were waiting in the back to assess the Black Iron Badge also shouted, these mercenaries were always full of foul language, and all kinds of ugly words spewed out, and suddenly the eyes of everyone in the entire hall were attracted.
"Gangqi Jiuduan will come to register mercenaries? This kid shouldn't be crazy, dare to brag in the mercenary association, and see how he ends up then." ”
The juggernaut laughed a few times at the foul language around him, and teased: "I can't imagine that one day I will tell the truth and be despised by others, right? ”
"Shut up. Bai Yang frowned, and after responding to the master, a helpless voice came out from under the cloak: "You are just the person in charge of recording, just record truthfully, besides, the real assessment should not rely on these people to test me with their mouths, right?"
In one sentence, all the mercenaries in the hall were annoyed, and some of the grumpy old mercenaries even rolled up their sleeves and planned to come up and teach him a lesson. But at this moment, a rough voice sounded in the hall, which shocked all the mercenaries who were about to move.
"Shut up the fuck for Lao Tzu! One or two croaking people are going to die, are they all itchy?"
Parting the crowd, a man in armor with a dark face walked in, his eyes swept over the many mercenaries in the hall, and said viciously: "If you have time to bully newcomers here, don't you have time to go out and do some tasks to accumulate more points?" Even if you fight with the calves of the Storm Mercenary Group, it is better than chirping like a girl!"
"It's the Black Tiger......"
"It's this madman again......"
Many mercenaries who knew this man retreated with interest, but even if they didn't know him, after being reminded by their friends, they were very afraid and didn't get in the way. The prestige of the devouring black tiger is no weaker than the Storm Mercenary Group in this horse town, and it is faintly surpassing the group of shear-cut bandits who only know how to bully the weak and fear the hard.
Because, this man named after the Black Tiger is the only silver-level mercenary in Zema Town, and he is also the leader of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group. It's just that because of the failure to take over a sub-prefecture-level mission back then, the elite members of the regiment were lost, making the prestigious Black Tiger Mercenary Group completely reduced to a third-rate team, otherwise where would there be a place for the Storm Mercenary Regiment to show off its might in Zema Town now.
It was clear that Black Tiger had a high reputation among mercenaries, and as soon as he spoke, the taunting voice in the hall gradually weakened.
Wearing that set of extremely heavy armor, he walked like a mobile fortress, and every step that fell to the ground would make the floor tremble, this guy like a humanoid giant beast walked to Bai Yang's side, glanced at the middle-aged man who registered for him, and grinned and sneered: "When are you also qualified to ridicule the mercenaries who came to register?" Since he said that it was the ninth stage of Gangqi, then make a record of it, don't do superfluous things!"
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, entered the battle qi into the iron piece in his hand, sweated profusely to record the information, and then asked with some trepidation: "This friend, what is your name?"
Hearing this, Bai Yang thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Bai Qianqiu." ”
"Bai Qianqiu, good name, haha, I can hear it, there is an unusual ambition in this name. ”
The black tiger patted Bai Yang's shoulder very enthusiastically, then took the iron piece from the middle-aged man's hand, and said: "Although the scale of this mercenary association is not good, the procedure is still very formal, let's go, Brother Qianqiu, I will take you to the assessment." ”
Bai Yang did not refuse the enthusiasm of this strange man, and after nodding, he walked with him to the assessment area.
When the two of them left the assessment and registration area, those mercenaries who were intimidated by the black tiger's momentum dared to discuss.
"Black Tiger, this guy doesn't know what kind of wind he smoked today, a kid who is obviously boasting about himself, is also worth bothering to woo?"
"It is estimated that the destruction of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group has made him difficult to let go, and when he meets some powerful mercenaries, he wants to pull people into the gang, but unfortunately this horse town is still too small, and the strength is good, all of them have joined the Storm Mercenary Group, who will stay in the Black Tiger Mercenary Group and starve with him. ”
"Hmph, if you want me to see, that kid will be eliminated soon, and the assessment of the ninth rank of Gangqi is the most difficult among the black iron level mercenaries. Maybe he'll use that darkiron golem to test him. ”
At the mention of the Darkiron Puppet, there were more or less unnatural expressions on everyone's faces, and a few mercenaries who had seen the power of that thing had slightly darkened their faces, as if they didn't want to mention that memory again.
All in all, this turmoil only stirred up among the mercenaries for a while, and was quickly forgotten by them.
And following the black tiger to Bai Yang in the assessment area, he saw an incomparably spacious practice room at a glance, which was equipped with all kinds of cultivation equipment, and many members of the mercenary association were observing the strength of each assessor around, and at the same time, an old man judged whether he passed the assessment or not.
The old man was wearing a gold badge and was supposed to be the president of the mercenary association.
The black tiger glanced at the old man, with a look of disgust on his face, patted Bai Yang's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "This guy's name is Guo Jingfeng, he used to be the runner of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Regiment, he has worked hard in the regiment for decades, and his strength is not very strong, but he is old enough, and he was sent to this remote place to be a small president with the strength realm of the tenth stage of the Dingyuan Realm, which can be regarded as a reward given to him by the head of the Dragon Slaying Regiment." It's a pity that this person is greedy by nature, and he doesn't know what moderation is at all, and he has made the mercenary association here into a miasma, and he is also in the same league as those guys in the Storm Mercenary Group, and he has to collect a lot of offerings every year, and turn a blind eye to the behavior of those villains, and he is also responsible for the complaints in the entire Zema Town. ”
Sighing deeply, Black Tiger smiled apologetically: "Hey, it's useless to tell you this, come, Brother Qianqiu, you are in the realm of the ninth stage of Gangqi, and it stands to reason that you have to fight against a puppet with similar strength." I'm going to talk to them, and I'll just release an iron golem. ”
For the puppet this kind of thing, Bai Yang has only heard of it, I heard that it was the first creation of a stunning refiner in the refiner association, driven by runes, and coupled with extremely exquisite mechanism means, it can make the puppet exert good combat effectiveness, and gradually the puppet has been cited by many forces in the past, including the Xuanjian Sect, there is a Zhenshan puppet, which is rumored to be made by the mysterious refiner himself, and the strength is comparable to that of the Tianyuan Realm powerhouse, and it is never tired.
For this kind of magical thing, Bai Yang has always wanted to see it, but he has never had the opportunity, and he never imagined that he would see it in a place like the Mercenary Association, so he nodded to the black tiger and said politely: "It's hard work." ”
The black tiger smiled generously and walked over to Guo Jingfeng's group.
Bai Yang looked around, looked around, and found that the family background of this mercenary association is also quite good, the wall of the practice room is actually engraved with extremely ancient defense runes, as well as several devastating attack runes that can instantly seriously injure the powerhouses of the Dingyuan Realm, if the mercenary association is collided with external enemies, these complex patterns that are almost integrated with the wall will probably instantly become a life-threatening Shura, and burst out with terrifying power.
After looking at it for a while, Bai Yang did not continue to turn blindly, but quietly adjusted the breath in his body to ensure that his body was in the peak state at any time.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound not far away, which made Bai Yang slowly open his eyes and look over, only to find that the black tiger was arguing with Guo Jingfeng and the others on the front.
"It's just the assessment of the ninth stage of Gangqi, why do you want to send out a secret puppet? The highest specification of the black iron level is just a black iron puppet, Guo Jingfeng, what do you mean?!"
