This is a magical world, magic, fighting spirit, holy words, alchemy together witness the civilization and development of this world, elves, humans, demons and beasts all live here peacefully. Millions of years ago, an unknown explosion split the originally integrated continent, and after millions of years, the territory was divided into the Eastern Continent, the Northern Continent, the Western Continent and the Southern Islands. After the division of the continent, the eastern continent was occupied by the human race, the northern continent was inhabited by demons, the elves and beasts lived in the western continent, and the southern islands were inhabited by various races. For thousands of years, the large and small countries of the human race on the eastern continent have spent time in peace and war, until more than 300 years ago, a human named Eragon unified the eastern continent and established a great empire, and the peaceful development has continued to this day.
In the eastern part of the Eastern Continent, in the depths of a lush bamboo sea, an old mansion stands there, ancient and mysterious, calm and ........
The calm was broken by a hurried footstep, and the butler trotted all the way to the main hall, where the owner of the old mansion was sitting and drinking tea.
"Master, young master, he is not in the room. The butler bowed slightly to the man sitting on the throne.
"Where's the practice ground?"
"No, I've searched everywhere else, but I haven't found it. ”
"I know, this is hidden from Madame and Miss in advance, and if they ask, they will say that the young master has been assigned a task by me. The man took a sip of tea and said slowly. It seems that he did not take what the butler said to heart.
"Yes, sir. ”
"About the imperial capital. The man took a sip of tea and thought for a moment, "Looks like I'm going to go on my own trip." ”
"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it. After the butler finished speaking, he bowed again and exited the main hall.
The man sipped his tea as his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
"Hmph, this stinky boy!!!"
In the eastern part of the Eastern Continent, an unknown town.
In the morning, the sun has risen, and the town has ushered in a new day, people are busy for their livelihoods, and children are playing on the avenue, shops on the avenue are open, and the town is getting more and more lively as the sun rises. A young man wrapped in a cloak walked unhurriedly along the main road of the town with the crowd, stopped in front of a house with "mercenary" written on it, and then pushed the door and walked in.
Mercenary Hall: An intermediary place for posting and accepting quests, located in almost every corner of the world. People can post quests in the Mercenary Pavilion by paying a fee. The mercenary hall will draw 1% of the release fee. The difficulty of the tasks is divided into 7 levels in order of difficulty: "S", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", and "none". Tasks of "B" level and above usually need to be completed by multiple people, and tasks of "C" level and below "C" need to be completed by more than one person. The difficulty of the quest determines the amount of experience a mercenary will gain after completing the quest. The difficulty of the quest is determined by the mercenary hall in the place where it is issued. Posted quests will be posted on the bulletin board for mercenaries to pick up on their own.
Mercenary: Spend 5 gold coins in the mercenary hall (the monthly income of an ordinary family of 3 is 10 to 15 gold coins) to register as a mercenary, and after registering as a mercenary, you can accept tasks on the bulletin board of the mercenary hall, and complete the tasks to get task rewards and corresponding task experience, and the task experience is used to improve the mercenary level. The mission level corresponds to the mercenary level, for example, C-level mercenaries can accept tasks below "C" level and "C", and mercenary levels need to be upgraded by completing tasks. After accepting a task, you will lose double the experience if you do not complete the CD after the specified time or CD.
In the mercenary hall, it was just morning, and many tables in the mercenary hall were already full of people, some were waiting for their mission partners to leave at any time, some were waiting for a new mission to be released, some had just returned from completing a mission, sharing what they had seen and heard with other mercenaries, and of course, some were ready to fight at any time if they didn't agree with each other.
The cloaked boy walked into the mercenary hall and walked towards the bulletin board. The bulletin board here is full of "none" and "E" tasks, such as helping to find the dog, helping to harvest the dealer, collecting 10 wolf skins, and so on.
"It's a small town after all. The cloaked boy said self-deprecatingly, his voice a little helpless.
"Yo, boy, you're not a local. The uncle who was also looking for a task on the side looked at the cloaked boy with a smile and said.
For this kind of self-cooked uncle, the boy naturally chose to ignore it and continued to look for tasks on the bulletin board.
"Hahaha, it's really" Uncle Zilai saw that people ignored him, and resolved this little embarrassment with a dry smile, "A new batch of tasks will be announced in a while, you might as well wait." ”
"Thank you. The cloaked boy nodded at the uncle, and then continued to look at the task on the bulletin board.
"Young people nowadays... It's really cold!" Uncle Lai Shu was really a little helpless about encountering such a soft nail. But it didn't matter, and after a while he was chatting with the people next to him.
Time passed quickly, and the number of people coming in and out of the mercenary hall increased, and it became more and more noisy.
"Everyone, let me go, there's a new mission released!" The girl who posted the task was the girl in charge of daily life at the counter of the mercenary hall, and because it was close to the release time of the new mission, the bulletin board was surrounded by water. The girl had to speak up and ask everyone to give way.
"Xiaoya, you have a good task"
"Xiaoya, let's have a drink with Lao Tzu later"
"Xiaoya, it's really getting more and more Peugeot!!"
"Say you, don't get in the way. ”
.
.
.
Although the mercenaries were coaxing, they still gave way to this girl named Xiaoya, and Xiaoya ignored the mercenaries' coaxing, because she had long been used to it, and pasted the tasks in her hand on the bulletin board one by one. At this time, the mercenary hall was extremely quiet.
When the last card marking the "C" class quest appeared on the bulletin board, the mercenary hall boiled over!!
"Hey, hey, C-class, we have a C-class mission in this little place?"
"Hey, I can't take it!"
"Can someone pick it up, C-class. ”
"Rewarding 1,000 gold coins is a lot of money!"
"What is the content of the mission, Xiaoya!"
"Lao Tzu is too far away to see, and the brother in front of him is troublesome. ”
"yes, whoever gets close, read it, hahaha. ”
.
.
.
The appearance of a "C" class mission instantly attracted all the mercenaries in the mercenary hall, and the bulletin board suddenly became impenetrable. The mercenaries were all shouting, all curious. This is the first time this town has had a "C" class mission.
"I say, everyone, be quiet!" shouted Uncle Familiar. "I'll take a look. "Uncle Zilai is already close to the bulletin board, so he has no choice now, "Escort the mission, protect the two gentlemen to reach Ryan Town safely, you need more people to !! the task to accept and you can go!"
Uncle Zilai finished reading the task aloud, and turned his head to look at Xiao Ya, who had not left yet, "Xiao Ya, how can it be C-level if it's just an escort mission." ”
Uncle's words suddenly focused everyone's attention on Xiaoya.
"The mission assessed by the mercenary hall will not go wrong, and the 20-member escort group of Mr. Client is now only 5 people still in combat effectiveness. The other 15 people were killed or wounded, and the client had already encountered 3 assassinations on the way, so the mercenary hall was rated as a C-level mission. Although she looks like she is in her early 20s, she is very sophisticated in her speech.
Xiao Ya's words instantly made the originally quiet mercenary hall noisy again, and everyone was discussing the danger of this mission. Uncle Zilai also frowned while saying this to the mercenaries around him.
"Lao Cai, if we don't try it, 1000 gold coins can take this risk!" A mercenary who looked to be in his 30s next to Uncle Zilai.
"Although the reward is very attractive, it is difficult for the five of us to eat. "Lao Cai, Uncle Zilai shook his head.
"Lao Cai..."The mercenary in his 30s didn't have time to say anything.
The entire mercenary hall fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone looked at the cloaked boy on the side of the bulletin board.
