Chapter 433: The Land of the Free (Page 1/1)

"Ahem, then, Brother Swordsman, let's separate here, thank you for this time, goodbye. ”

Outside the gate of the Mercenary Guild, the white wolf said goodbye to Chen Mu.

Originally, according to the idea of Leona the Cardinal, she really wanted to try to recruit Chen Mu to see if she could recruit this big master into the "Flame Rose".

But she wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally followed Lan Feng to heal without saying a word, in fact, she was not stupid, she knew that with the strength of "Flame Rose", it was almost impossible to recruit such a super master.

And Leona also has the same concerns as the white wolf, that is, she doesn't know why Chen Mu came to join a group with them, but since the other party didn't mention this matter, then they couldn't ask, God knows what is hidden here.

Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die, which is also one of the survival rules of mercenaries, who have always used money to do things, regardless of right or wrong, or privacy.

In the end, only White Wolf and Chen Mu came to the Mercenary Guild to hand in the task, Lan Feng took Jin Shan and Cardinal to heal his injuries, and Black Thorn disappeared again as soon as he arrived at the dock, so he should have another task.

The process of handing over the task was not smooth, and the clerk was also shocked after hearing the battle process described by the white wolf, and hurriedly asked the person in charge.

The other party is also a person who has some friendship with the white wolf, and after repeatedly confirming the information that the white wolf said, he said that this matter cannot be finished for a while, and he has to report it layer by layer, waiting for the bigwigs of the mercenary guild to confirm the handling plan.

Of course, if this is true, that is, at least one more investigation team will have to be sent to find trouble with the lizardmonster.

And it has to be a team that is not weak, otherwise it is unlikely to test the hidden strength of the lizard monster, so there is no way to confirm that what the white wolf said is true.

The white wolf also understands this situation, but according to the rules of the mercenary guild, with the reputation of a strong person like the white wolf as a guarantee, the situation he declared, at least at this stage, is still considered very reliable.

Therefore, the Mercenary Guild did not deduct the mission deposit according to the punishment of mission failure for the time being, but it was temporarily frozen and waited for the results of the investigation to come out.

Of course, Chen Mu couldn't wait here, he was a temporary member of the group, and he came with the white wolf, just to report the mission by the way, and with the endorsement of the white wolf, his mercenary qualification was easily upgraded from the status of a trainee to a formal mercenary.

But the white wolf was very interested in not mentioning Chen Mu's "true strength", and even deliberately blurred the description of this aspect when describing the battle, which was regarded as deliberately keeping it secret for Chen Mu.

Of course, this has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is to keep a low profile, which has always been the principle of Chen Mu when he fled.

The disadvantage is that he can't take the opportunity to get more benefits, for example, if the white wolf endorses his "true strength", then not to mention other benefits, at least in terms of the promotion of the mercenary level, Chen Mu can immediately be promoted several levels in a row, at least he is also a high-level mercenary, not just turned positive now.

However, for Chen Mu, this is already the best result, he doesn't need any high-level mercenary status at all, and he doesn't want to make a big splash.

Having an official mercenary status is enough for his next planning needs, because with this identity, he can openly go to escort missions, that is, to serve as an escort for ocean-going fleets or floating boats.

Don't think it's easy to get a job like this, for an ocean-going fleet or float boat that pays special attention to safety, it's definitely not just any cat or dog that can get on board.

You must know that although this place is remote, no matter how remote it is, this is also the "East China Sea", a human settlement, not an alien territory like the "Golden Sea".

In this sea area with many islands, I dare not say that every inch of the sea surface is the final word of human beings, but human beings are definitely the overlords of this area.

And thanks to the loose management of the "Freedom Front", the "East Sea" is almost equivalent to a liberal paradise, so it has also attracted countless nomads, speculators, and wild warriors to come here to seek a living.

Come to think of it, for these people, instead of struggling to survive in those places where there are clear hierarchies and almost zero room for growth, it is better to try their luck in this free land.

Of course, anything useful in the wasteland is a resource worth fighting for, not to mention the population, which is the underlying resource as the cornerstone of human society, which is definitely an important resource that all forces will not let go easily.

Even if it is a conservative and closed traditional gate valve force like the "West Valve", it usually disdains ordinary people to look at it at all, and basically regards it as something like a pig and a dog, but it will never allow the outflow of people from the territory.

And the more such conservative forces, the more ferocious the punishment measures for the fugitives, once caught, death is a luxury, absolutely not to survive, can not die, can only regret reincarnation.

This is also why the nomads live so frightened, on the contrary, the nobles with more wealth and resources are much freer, at least it is still easy to travel or work, and it will not be difficult to take the opportunity to flee.

But on the bright side, even if these nobles really want to apply for emigration to other areas controlled by big powers through regular channels, it will be difficult.

However, this kind of thing has always been easy to do, and if you really want to move your family, it's not really difficult, but you can't say it with great fanfare, just do it quietly in private.

Anyway, those in power are also part of the upper pyramid, and they will not persecute their own kind too much, otherwise the world is impermanent, God knows if they will be unlucky one day, and if they need to flee when the time comes, then what should they do?

Based on such unspoken rules, the attitude of all forces towards the flight of ordinary people is basically the same, that is, it is absolutely not allowed, and one is arrested and severely punished, and there is almost no care.

But for the rich and powerful, this is not a problem, as long as it is not too ostentatious, it is almost possible to settle down wherever you want.

Of course, that's the case, but the more rich and powerful these families are, the more they will not easily leave the territory that they have been operating for many years, otherwise how easy is it to leave their hometown and make a comeback?

In many cases, there is no way, such as losing in some battles, causing great damage to the vitality, and the family strength has suffered heavy losses, and it is impossible to leave if you want to, so you can only go away.

The only exception is the "East China Sea" side, which is really free to come and go, no matter what your source is, as long as you are not openly hostile to the "Freedom Front".

In addition, in this world, even the "business alliance", which is famous for communicating with the world's commerce, has absolutely no such freedom in the control of its own territory.
