Volume 2 Redemption and Execution Chapter 5 Three-colored neon
Luo Mu's body shuttles through the dark night of Cyrenaica like a shadow, the night of Cyrenaica is still as graceful and moving as the early morning, the street lamps on the street emit a soft pale yellow light, which seems to cast a layer of gentle color on the whole city, and in this area where Joey's house is located, people have gone to bed early, most of the houses have turned off the lights, and only a few rooms are still with dim lights, as if waiting for the late returnee to go home.
But since there are so many nobles living in Cyrenaica, of course, there are countless places for pleasure, as Luo Mu moves in the other direction of the city, there are more and more people on the road, and Cyrenaica in this area presents a completely different appearance, this area of Cyrenaica is like a city that never sleeps, it is close to midnight at this moment, you can see the sound of people in the shops on this street, these people who don't have to worry about their livelihood at all The nightlife has just begun.
Luo Mu's speed slowly slowed down, he also walked out of the back street, standing on the street, the flow of people on this street shuttled, there was no midnight at all, people walking on the street called friends, often could hear the sound of unbridled laughter, this street zigzag spread for a long time, the terrain of Cyrenaica is not as flat as Hurlis, the place further forward on the street is not clear due to the topography, but the short section of this street is close to five hundred meters long, not to mention the countless forks in the road in this area.
Countless plaques and advertising slogans shining with various colors and even large portraits of people reflect the lights of this street, like a magic city, and most of the people in this magic city are young and middle-aged, men and women are shaking and hugging each other and shouting loudly, most of them are carrying wine bottles in their hands, and even a few people are vomiting violently in the corner not far from Luo Mu.
The street has an apt name – Neon Street.
This street not only has half of Cyrenaica's Fengyue place, but more importantly, there are countless guilds belonging to Cyrenaica scattered within the area of this neon street, and midnight is the time when these guilds are customary to issue tasks.
Luo Mu walked slowly on the street, the decorations of the people around him were also different, at the beginning of Neon Street, there were more brightly dressed playboys, they were mostly wearing gorgeous imitation court dresses, ironed breeches, leather shiny boots, and even the wavy lace accessories on the chest were meticulously cared for.
The deeper you walk into Neon Street, the quieter the sounds around you become, the more sparse the flow of people on the road, and the shops on both sides of the street become more gorgeous and tall.
The nobles naturally have their own noble self-esteem, they disdain to mingle with the commoners, although there are few passers-by walking on this street, but the carriages are endless, and the lavishly decorated carriages still exude dazzling brilliance even in the moonlight.
These carriages are often parked directly at the door of each storefront, and the first to open the door are often the handsome young men, who smile lightly and straighten the bow tie on their chests, as if the elegance born from the blood makes them look extremely decent when they bow to the carriage, and in the back carriage often stretches out a slender jade hand shrouded in a lace gauze sleeve and rests on the young man's slightly bent arm.
As Luo Mu moved forward, he turned a few corners, but the crowd around him suddenly became more numerous, and the clothes of these people were also more recognizable, some of them were wearing bright armor, with long swords hanging from their waists, and even some armor had faint fluctuations in soul power, that is, equipment with the blessing of the soul array.
This kind of person is also the most popular, and they are often accompanied by a large group of people, because most of the people wearing armor are elite hunters of a certain guild, and the armor they wear is often very valuable, and the armor with the blessing of the soul array, even if it can only reduce the weight of the armor, is often hard to find.
And more people are wearing all kinds of strange armor, their weapons are also strange, there are long or short knives, axes, spears, etc., and some people wear tights, with more than a dozen daggers pinned to their waists, these people are hunters belonging to various guilds, and the people on this street are even more factional, because the major guilds will always have all kinds of big or small contradictions under the conflict of interests, and the hunters in the guild are often able to advance and retreat with the guild since they have joined the guild, because only when the guild is strong can they bring them better resources and channels。
So although it is strictly forbidden to fight on this street, quarrels and struggles are happening every day, Luo Mu is wearing a long cloak, a slightly larger hood to hide most of his face, of course, this kind of costume will not attract the attention of others, there will always be many people on this street who are unwilling to reveal their identities, some are hunters of the guild, and some are customers who come to the guild to give tasks.
Luo Mu walked forward a few hundred meters, turned a corner, a four-story building appeared on the corner of the street, the top of the building has a golden eagle that is spreading its wings into the sky, on the front of the building five bronzing characters in the surrounding laser lights are more heroic, it is said that in the southern mountains of Corvo, Disedris is the meaning of the eagle with wings, and the boss of this guild is also a legendary figure who came out of the southern mountains.
Luo Mu stood at the gate of the guild, there was a majestic man standing on the side of the guild gate, the man saw Luo Mu step forward, stood up slightly straight, but his hands were still holding his chest, Luo Mu handed over the nameplate of the guild, the man looked at it slightly, and then returned it to Luo Mu, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Welcome back, 0319"
Most of the people in the guild use their own pronouns, such as "Fire Swordsman", "Flying Tiger", etc., these pronouns are often taken by themselves, more or less representing some of their own fighting methods, but Luo Mu is an outlier in the guild, and he has not even shown his face, so the doorman can only call him by the guild code.
Luo Mu nodded, and pushed open the door of the Disedris Guild, as soon as he pushed the door open, a wave of heat accompanied by an extremely noisy sound rushed in, the flames in the fireplace next to the wall were burning, and there were countless long wooden tables with rough decorations in the guild hall, and the long tables were full of guild hunters.
There are nearly 100 hunters on this first floor, most of the hunters are holding huge wine glasses, the wine glasses are turned with thick white foam, weapons are casually placed on the ground or leaning against the wall, from time to time there will be a loud shout of wine, these hunters do the work of licking blood on the tip of the knife every day, naturally there is a brave and chic taste, spirits and money are all they have.
Most of these hunters were strong men, but there were also a few women, but those women were like the men sitting next to them, drinking and eating meat, and even a woman was stepping on the table and pulling a man by the neck and scolding loudly, apparently the man lost the wine, and the onlookers laughed loudly without hesitation.
The sound of Luo Mu opening the door was completely concealed in the loud laughter and scolding that came from time to time in this hall, and a few hunters who were close to the gate saw Luo Mu walk in, and only glanced at it slightly, then turned his head and talked and laughed loudly with his friends around him, Luo Mu did not have any friendship with anyone, he has always been alone.
There is a long bar in front of the front of the hall, behind the bar stand two cute girls in their early twenties, this bar is where hunters receive tasks or issue tasks, Luo Mu walked to the bar, a girl greeted her, showed a bright smile, and said sweetly "Welcome back"
These two girls are only in their early twenties, but their sweet appearance makes all hunters excited, these two girls can even be said to be the spiritual pillars of countless Desedris Guild hunters, everyone hopes that after they have completed a dangerous mission, they can see these two girls again and hear the sweet "welcome back"
Luo Mu nodded, handed over the identity plate, the girl took it and glanced at it slightly, looked at the information under the bar, and then smiled sweetly again, and said, "The demon organ you entrusted to the guild for sale last time has already been paid by the buyer, deducting the ten percent commission charged by the guild, this is fifty gold coins, please keep it"
The girl said, and handed over a bag, Luo Mu didn't count, just put it away, the girl paused slightly and said with a smile, "You are really amazing, you have only joined the guild for less than half a year and have completed so many leapfrog tasks, you work harder, I wish you an early promotion to the sapphire level, the guild will have more rewards waiting for you"
Although Corvo's guild is different, but the level of the hunter is universal, the guild generally divides the hunter into ten levels, namely white porcelain, black yao, steel, sapphire, emerald, ruby, brass, silver, gold, platinum, among which the white porcelain level corresponds to the newcomer who has just joined the guild, and with the completion of the corresponding tasks in the guild and the accumulation of merits, the level of the hunter will also increase accordingly.
The tasks released in the guild will basically be rated by the guild, and then only the corresponding level or above can accept the task, of course, no matter how strong you are, when you first joined the guild, it was the white porcelain level, so there is a saying that the task is skipped, even the newcomer at the white porcelain level can also accept the task of a higher level, but the corresponding amount of deposit must be handed over, the more you accept the task, the more the deposit will be, if you can successfully complete the task, not only will you get more merit accumulation, and the deposit guild will also be returned, but if you fail to complete the task, the deposit you pay to the guild will also belong to the guild。
After Luo Mu joined the guild, he only did five tasks, but all of them were tasks to hunt demons, and the lowest task of hunting demons was also at the sapphire level, but Luo Mu did not fail and completed them all, and even once overstepped the ruby level hunting task, which even caused a lot of turmoil in the guild at that time, but Luo Mu was too low-key, so this turmoil did not affect him anything, and no one has seen his true face until now.
Through these five tasks, Luo Mu has jumped from the white porcelain level to a steel-level hunter in just half a year, which is rare in some big guilds.
Luo Mu obviously didn't want to say anything more to this lovely front desk lady, he lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Is there any news from Bank?"
As soon as Luo Mu's voice fell, before the front desk lady answered, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers in the hall, Luo Mu turned around, in the middle of the hall, a hexagonal pillar slowly rose, and the pillar was full of long or short task letters, and it was time for the daily task to be released.
