Chapter 3 The Nine Heavens Alliance Chapter 25 Mercenary Mission
The next day, on the top of a small hill outside the west gate of Zhongtian City, more than 100 people gathered here.
Mercenary A and Mercenary B were staying in the crowd at this time.
Mercenary A said: "Big brother, can you tell me now, why did you take this task? If you don't say it, I'd rather pay liquidated damages and deduct points than quit." β
Mercenary B also said, "Have you heard the rumors that have been circulating in the past few days?"
Mercenary A touched his head, "I heard about it, but what does this have to do with us taking on this mission?"
Mercenary B shook his head, he didn't know how Mercenary A, a simple guy, had survived until now? Some time ago, he felt that the other party was upright, and he was also a supporter of Miss Zhen Zhen, so he befriended this brother.
finally had a brother, and he didn't want to break up, so he explained: "The rumored Haisheng is the young man received by Miss Zhen Zhen. Now, the young man must be unable to protect himself, and the anger of many small families is not so easy to bear? Think about it, who is creating and spreading rumors? Of course, it is Li Wen's bad blank, she can't help Miss Zhenzhen, she can only make others angry. The boy is an example. Don't forget, you made a loud noise that day, but you were seen by the people of the Xu family. So taking advantage of Li Wen's unexpectedness of us, the task I took over was to keep the two of us away from Zhongtian City for the time being. Now you understand!"
Mercenary A suddenly came to his senses, fell to his knees, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, no, you are my reborn parents, thanks to the eldest brother, the younger brother has a way to live." β
Mercenary A's move attracted everyone's attention, so frightened that Mercenary B hurriedly pulled up Mercenary A, and now they are acting in a low-key manner, which is too eye-catching, so Mercenary B shouted embarrassedly to everyone: "My brother's head is convulsive, don't care." β
When Mercenary A heard this, he just wanted to say something, but Mercenary B covered his mouth. At the same time, Mercenary B smirked at everyone and said to Mercenary A, "Brother, you still want everyone to pay attention to us." β
Hearing Mercenary B's words, Mercenary A stopped.
When the crowd saw the two of them, they all muttered in a low voice: "These two are stupid!"
"No, I think it's a head show. β
"yes, tease two. β
......
Mercenary A and Mercenary B, of course they heard it, but they could only endure it if they wanted to keep a low profile.
After a while, a team came to the top of the hill.
This team has a total of ten people, and the leader is wearing a blue mask, and the costume should be a young master of a big family. The thin old man next to him should be the young master's butler, there is no trace of energy fluctuation on his body, just like an ordinary old man, but no one dares to despise him. The other eight people had a capable temperament, they should be guards, and they tightly surrounded the young master, as if they were ready to resist a possible attack at any time.
The thin old man stepped forward and said, "Please take out the task voucher." The old man wants to check it. β
Hearing his words, everyone took out a finger-sized purple crystal, which was the mission credential.
Seeing the purple crystal in everyone's hands, the thin old man also took out a slap of the big purple crystal pillar, and then with a slight wave of his hand, the purple crystal pillar was activated, and a purple visible wave appeared, sweeping the purple crystal in everyone's hands. Everyone's purple crystals lit up, revealing a text summarizing the content of the mission. These purple crystals and crystal pillars are issued by the Mercenary Guild and are used for mutual confirmation between mercenaries and employers.
The reason why the employment relationship is confirmed in this way. The reason is that many mercenaries don't want others to know their identity. If the mercenary badge is used to confirm the employment relationship, the personal information will be exposed.
Apparently the owner of this task, with this in mind, chose this way.
After a quick inventory, the thin old man spoke: "No problem, let's go!" After speaking, he put away the purple crystal pillar, and then took out a small boat, the small boat grew in the wind, until it was twenty zhang long and five zhang wide, turning into a big ship, and the spiritual power of the wind around the big ship surrounded it, making it float in the air.
Everyone put away the purple crystal in their hands, and when they saw this floating ship, they all began to guess which young master the person with the blue mask was.
The thin old man led the young master and flew to the big ship first. Then the guards, and then some mercenaries of extraordinary strength, sixteen in all, flew up. In the end, nearly a hundred people jumped up.
After everyone boarded the ship, the floating ship slowly flew high into the air, and when it reached a certain altitude, it instantly lifted to high speed and sailed towards the sky.
On the floating boat, everyone did not feel any discomfort due to the instantaneous acceleration. The large ship itself is engraved with special prohibitions to prevent discomfort to passengers due to inertia.
At this time, the mercenaries were divided into two parts, one part was sixteen people, and the other part was nearly a hundred people. The reason why this is so is because the way they just got on the ship shows their strength. The strong are very proud and like to be alone, while the weak like to gather together and keep their distance from the strong.
The young master with the mask had already entered the shipbuilding to rest. The others did not follow.
The thin old man came to everyone and said, "In order to complete the task more efficiently, the old man has decided to divide you into sixteen teams, this, you have no opinion!"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, the sixteen spiritual qi in the thin old man's hand flew out, bypassing the sixteen people in front of him, and headed towards the nearly 100 people, and then formed sixteen ring-shaped spiritual qi, dividing the nearly 100 people into sixteen parts, with an average of six to seven people per part.
"Sixteen of you are the captains, go and choose the team members yourself! After the selection, come to the shipbuilding, my son-in-law is invited. The thin old man shouted to the sixteen men in front of him, and then turned and entered the ship.
Of the sixteen people, some of them immediately turned around and began to investigate, and chose their favorite team, while others did not care and waited there.
At the beginning of the selection of the sixteen, Mercenary A and Mercenary B looked at the sixteen. They were also looking around, hoping that a good captain would choose their squad, and their squad would be at the front. However, the reality of the situation disappointed them, and almost all the captains directly bypassed their squad and chose other squads. Seeing the other teams being selected one by one, Mercenary A and Mercenary B gradually showed disappointment on their faces.
Mercenary A was a little puzzled, and when he saw that the members of his team were glaring at him, he quietly transmitted to Mercenary B, "Big brother, why are they staring at the two of us." β
Mercenary B was suddenly helpless, alas. His newly-recognized brother is too unreliable. So much so that he regretted it a little, but he couldn't say anything. No way, everyone knows that he and Mercenary A are in the same group.
"Brother, they all complain about you, and they complain about your previous actions, so that the powerhouses of the Innate Realm don't choose us. Now it's okay, we will have the last turn, led by a weakest Innate Realm powerhouse. In his opinion, the innate realm is strong by the right to choose. However, the weakest Innate Realm powerhouse could only take the turn to be the last and pick up the rest of the teamβtheir squad.
Sure enough, in the end, there was only one Innate Realm powerhouse left who did not choose a team member, this Innate Realm powerhouse wore a silver mask, and his figure was a little thin compared to the others. All right. This is their captain, and now they can only admit it.
Sure enough, this remaining Innate Realm powerhouse walked over and walked in front of their remaining team.
"It seems that we will be a squad in this mission. As your captain, I now issue the first order, those who do not want to follow me, take advantage of the moment, hurry up to another high branch! I will not stop you. If you're afraid of being questioned by your employer, it's okay, I'll take care of it. As for those who remain. I will do my best to keep you safe. Now, make a decision!" their captain spoke, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
The six of them were instantly stunned, how could there be such a captain, who wanted to drive his own team members away. They were stunned for a moment. Three of them left hesitantly. There are three other people who did not leave, namely Mercenary A, Mercenary B, and a middle-aged man.
Mercenary A and Mercenary B didn't leave because they didn't have a choice, and the other teams wouldn't accept them. As for the middle-aged man, his face was square and his behavior was restrained, but he did not choose to leave.
"Alright, that's all there are for the three of you. Let me introduce myself first, Jianxi, you can call me captain, or you can just call Jianxi. I'll go to the shipyard first, meet the employer, you get acquainted with it first, and then tell me what you're good at when I come back. After speaking, the self-proclaimed Jianxi Innate Realm powerhouse followed the other captains to the shipbuilding.
