Chapter 130: The Jade Medal of Merit and the Mercenary System
"This Kunlun Daoyou, sure enough, is from a famous family, the old man has not seen such a skilled mountain forest for a long time, I wonder if Xiaoyou is interested in joining the Jiaofeng Battalion?"
Wang Xiao glanced at the old monk, he didn't know the details of the other party, and only politely: "Dare to ask the seniors who are ......."
The monk sighed: "The seniors don't dare to be, the old man Zhou Lin used to be a member of the Jiaofeng Battalion, but he was injured a few years ago, so he is in charge here." This Taoist friend is new to my Eastern Zhou Dynasty, right? My Eastern Zhou monk is different from the Northern Han Dynasty, but he respects the strong, although the Taoist friend is only in the middle of the human rank at this time and the old man, but he is so young and cultivated, and his future in the future should be limitless. I'm afraid that in a few years, it will be the turn of the old man to call his predecessor. ”
Wang Xiao then remembered that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty were different, the Northern Han Dynasty attached great importance to the status of master and apprentice, and no matter how high the achievements of the disciples, they could not disobey the master. Even if you have reached the Heavenly Level, and your Enlightenment Teacher is only a person at the lower level, you have to perform the same teacher salute when you see the teacher. If you dare to rely on strength to fight in front of your own master, then you are doomed. Deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is one of the greatest sins of the Northern Han Dynasty.
But in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was respected by strength.
Seniority has nothing to do with age, has nothing to do with inheritance, and comes completely according to the level of strength.
According to Yuan Tianzong as an example, basically, the earth-level masters belong to the "elder" level, the upper rank of the human rank is the first generation of disciples, the middle rank of the human rank is the second generation of disciples, and the lower rank of the human rank is the third generation of disciples. For example, Zhang San, a Taoist in the middle of the human rank, accepted a highly talented apprentice, and when Zhang San's disciple was in the lower rank of the human rank, he was his disciple. If his disciples also reached the middle of the human rank, the two would just be senior brothers. If one day Zhang San's apprentice reaches the upper rank of the human rank and Zhang San is still in the middle of the human rank, then Zhang San will instead call the apprentice he taught "uncle".
For this matter, Wang Xiao is actually very unaccustomed. But it's just a matter of following the locals.
"I'm a monk of the Northern Han Dynasty, so let's take the habits of the Northern Han Dynasty. Wang smiled and said, "What is the Jiaofeng Battalion that the predecessors said?"
"My Jiaofeng Battalion was originally one of the eighteen battalions of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it was the strongest Dao army in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Ninety-five years ago, in the holy war, the 28th Battalion suffered heavy casualties, and less than 300 soldiers of the 28th Battalion had 8,400 soldiers killed. There are only eight people left in the Jiaofeng Battalion, and after the eight seniors retired from the army, although most of them were disabled, they still didn't want to be idlers, so they still used the name of the Jiaofeng Battalion and set up a mercenary team here. ”
Wang Xiao was in awe: "It turned out to be a descendant of the martyrs of the Taoist army." Since those eight seniors were able to survive such a tragic war, they all thought they were masters of Taoism. Even if your body is damaged, you won't take these krakens seriously. ”
Zhou Lin smiled a little shy and a little proud: "That's nature." But...... Alas, our descendants are incompetent, the original Jiaofeng Camp is in Su County, and it is also a well-known signboard, but it is a pity that our generation is incompetent, and now the Jiaofeng Camp is in Su County......" Speaking of this, Zhou Lin suddenly remembered his purpose, and said with some embarrassment: "That's the case, Jiaofeng Camp was ...... a few days ago There was some gambling with another mercenary team, and he took on a somewhat tricky task, but a few days ago, Gao Kong, who was in charge of long-range spells in the battalion, won a battle with someone and was injured. Well, I see that Taoist friends are sharp, so I want to help my old friends invite. ”
Zhou Lin saw Wang Xiao showing a hesitant look, and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, Daoyou, this mission is mainly related to the face of my Jiaofeng Battalion, and the merit value obtained by the task, the old man is in charge, you can give three percent to Daoyou, and you don't need Daoyou to take risks, you just need Daoyou to launch spells from afar." ”
Wang Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Senior, you at least let me know what this task and merit value is." ”
Zhou Lin was stunned for a long time, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but he didn't expect Wang Xiao to be a rookie.
After a while, Zhou Lin explained to Wang Xiao some things about Su County or Eastern Zhou.
This merit value is equivalent to the circulating currency within the Dao Gate.
Originally, this was only the exclusive use of Yuan Tianzong, but in the past few thousand years, it slowly expanded to the entire Daomen, and then to the entire Eastern Zhou Kingdom.
Especially in a border city like Su County, which borders with demons, there are many wars, and ordinary silver taels are not qualified as a reward for monks at all, so the merit value shows its significance even more.
All monks can go to the nearby Daomen to register, and then apply for a merit jade plaque, by completing tasks or experiencing battles, to obtain the corresponding merit points, and then rely on merit points in exchange for various Taoist treasures.
In these missions, team tasks often have a higher merit value than individual tasks, and of course they are more difficult. Although the Jiaofeng Battalion has declined, it is still a powerful team in the forefront of the many mercenary teams in Su County, so the conditions given by Zhou Lin are quite generous.
Wang Xiao didn't agree immediately, but only said that he would familiarize himself with the mercenary situation first.
Zhou Lin didn't say much, but he was still eager to help Wang Xiao apply for identity certificates and merit jade plates.
After Wang Xiao received the certificate of rank, he went to the task release office of the Daomen under the leadership of Zhou Lin.
This is a huge Taoist temple, different from the deserted Yamen, before entering the street where the Taoist temple is located, it is already crowded. The streets were lined with shops used by all sorts of mortals and monks, but there wasn't much noise unexpectedly.
Zhou Lin led Wang Xiao into the lobby, which was somewhat similar to the telecommunications business hall on the earth, the huge hall was very empty, and there were some tables and chairs on both sides for people to rest. Then behind a row of counters, there were several beautiful female friars in charge of registration.
Wang Xiao looked left and right, but most of them were only at the bottom of the human rank, and there were not even too many in the middle of the human rank. As for the high-level cultivators, there was actually only a strong man with a scar on his face, who was silently sleeping near the foot of the wall.
Zhou Lin is obviously a frequent visitor here, and many people greet him with him. Under the leadership of Zhou Lin, Wang Xiao quickly completed the receipt and verification of the merit jade medal.
Receiving the merit jade plaque from the hand of a beautiful female monk, Wang Xiao played with it curiously. This looks like it's just a palm-sized white jade plaque, but it's engraved with the word "Dao" with a magic circle and a seal, which looks plain, but when Wang Xiao probed his divine sense, he saw the information inside:
Name: Yi Wang
Sect: Kunlun Lan disciple
Rank: The middle of the human rank
Mercenary Level: Zero
Merit Value: Zero
Wang Xiao smiled dumbly, this thing is similar to the attribute panel in the computer games played on Earth before.
"Eh, Wang Daoyou...... You see...... What the old man mentioned......" Zhou Lin blinked with a little begging, and looked at Wang Xiao expectantly.
Wang Xiao was a little emotional.
This old monk is obviously no longer from the Horn Peak Camp, but he still tries to bother for the Horn Peak Camp.
That Horn Peak Camp can make such an old man so heartfelt, and if you think about it, it won't be a too bad team.
Anyway...... I'm also here to seek trials, and if I join the team, it will be easier to understand this Sioux County and the Kraken. As for safety, hmph, I'm only in the middle of the human rank, but my real combat power is more than that. These other monks here are only in the lower and middle ranks, no wonder Zhou Lin values me so much, and from the attitude of these people around him towards Zhou Lin, it can be seen that this old man is not a sinister and treacherous person, and he will not think of any conspiracy.
Let's go to the Horn Peak Camp and have a look!
