CHAPTER XLIV

In the midst of everyone's unfinished business, this bonfire party that brought too many surprises to everyone ended. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The bonfire slowly went out, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as it was dawn, Karl had already come to the door in person to urge Li Qing and the others to go to the mercenary hall in Zhigong City to hand over the task of escorting Jeff's caravan.

Stepping on the morning sunset, Li Qing and others walked on the road to the mercenary hall under the leadership of Carl, along the way, chatting and walking, Carl pointed to the palatial mansion compounds on both sides of the road and said: "Don't look at the prosperity around here, because there are those nobles and powerful people living here, and those poor poor people live in slums, life is extremely poor, and I can only take care of a few people with my ability." ”

"It turns out that there is also a dark and impoverished side behind the prosperity. Lake said.

"They're so pitiful!" said Nyingma, with pity on her face.

"Brother Li Qing, why don't we go to the slums after we go to the mercenary hall and have a look?" said Nyingma beggingly as she looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing touched Nyingma's head dotingly, and said, "Since our Nyingma said it, let's go and see," In fact, in Li Qing's mind, he also wanted to see what the so-called situation was.

"Then I'll go with you to see it!" said Karl.

After about an hour's journey, a few people finally came to the mercenary hall in Zhigong City, standing outside the mercenary hall, only to find that the mercenary hall here is not known to be wide and majestic in the mercenary hall of the heavy wooden city, and it is not a mercenary hall in the second largest city, even if the gate at the door is also made of good oak wood, which can allow eight people to pass side by side, and a stone plaque with the word mercenary is erected at the door to remind everyone that this is the mercenary hall.

There were two guards standing on both sides of the door, also in good spirits, greeting the mercenaries who came in and out, one of them saw Carl of the Zhantian mercenary group walking towards the door, and hurriedly greeted him, "Captain Carl, you have come back after completing the task, and the reward is still rich, right?"

"Nothing went wrong along the way, did you?" the doorman asked with concern.

Carl's expression darkened, and he sighed and said: "I encountered big trouble on the way, and I lost several of our brothers, forget it, don't mention it!"

"Alright, Captain Karl, you go in first, I won't talk to you, I'll do things first!" said the doorman.

"Good!" said Karl.

"Li Qing, let's go in first and hand over the task!" Karl said to Li Qing beside him.

"Captain Karl, you are familiar with this place, who is that doorman, it seems that he knows him very well!" Amdo asked, unable to resist his curiosity.

"He! He was also rescued from the slums by our mercenary group before, his parents were forced to death by the nobles, and he was only half a life left, and he was saved by the people of our mercenary group, and later we introduced him to the mercenary hall and let him be a doorman, so that he could have a place. Carl said with emotion.

When Li Qing heard Carl's words, he couldn't help but be impressed by his heart, Carl is indeed a rare good person, especially in this troubled world.

And Lake and the others have a different view of Carl, although his strength cannot be compared with his own, but his heart is incomparable to several of them.

Walking into the mercenary hall, entering the eyes of several people is an extremely vast space, large enough to accommodate thousands of people to sit together, and it will not feel crowded at all, and it does not include the bars and other facilities located in the hall, on both sides of the hall are the counters for the mercenaries to receive and hand over tasks, and on the other side is the bar that can accommodate hundreds of people.

At the same time, there were dozens of people at the counter who were busy with the work of the mercenary hall, and those mercenaries who were waiting for the task were sitting in the bar drinking wine, talking loudly, and making noise.

Carl, Li Qing and others walked quickly to one of the counters, inside the counter was a girl in beautiful work clothes, seeing Li Qing and others come to their counter, staring at Li Qing without moving, deeply caught in his peculiar charm, and could no longer take his eyes off.

"Oh ahem! oh ahem!" Karl coughed a few times, alerting the desk girl who had shorted out.

Only then did the girl come back to her senses, blushing shyly, and hurriedly said, "Are you here to hand in the task or take the task? Can I serve you?"

"This is a task we have to hand over, please help us deal with it. Karl said.

After finishing speaking, Carl and Li Qing handed over the mercenary card of their mercenary group to the girl, and the girl hurriedly took the two mercenary cards handed over by Li Qing and Carl, took the cards to the room behind the counter, and let the staff of the mercenary hall process the information on the card.

He said, "Please wait, it's right away!"

After only a while, it was already processed, and the girl took Carl and Li Qing's mercenary cards and handed them to the two, while saying, "Here are your mercenary cards, please keep them!"

Carl took the mercenary card of the Zhantian Mercenary Group and put it in his arms, but Li Qing did not take the mercenary card, but said: "Our mercenary group still has a task to hand, and by the way, we have also handed it over, please trouble us and help us deal with it." ”

The girl took the mercenary card of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group, looked at Li Qing with a blushing face and asked, "May I ask what task you have completed?"

Li Qing said to Nyingma behind him, "Nyingma, what about the bottle containing the blood of the fire cloud?"

Ningma, who was behind him, hurriedly responded: "Here, wait," After speaking, he took out a glass bottle containing the blood of Tianhuo from his body and handed it to Li Qing.

Li Qing took the glass bottle, turned to the girl from the mercenary hall and said, "We have already obtained the blood of the Fire Cloud Beast in the Lost Demon Forest, please help us deal with it." ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and all the people in the hall were completely unable to come back to their senses, obtaining the blood of the Fire Cloud Beast, this S-level task has been hanging high in the mercenary world for twenty years, and no one has ever been able to complete this task, and now someone actually came out of the Lost Demon Forest alive and obtained the blood of the Fire Cloud Beast, which is simply incredible, and everyone's brains can't turn it around at all.

And Carl beside him was speechless, what is this? Originally, I thought that Li Qing was going to hand in a simple task, but now it is an S-level super task.

Li Qing, what kind of person are you? Karl asked in his heart.

And the beautiful girl who was holding Li Qing's mercenary card was also shocked and speechless, the mercenary card in her hand was almost as heavy as a thousand catties, and she was about to lose her grip, and said tremblingly: "Is it a Huoyun mission? Wait, I'll go to our chief hall master immediately." ”

After speaking, he took the mercenary card and hurried to the courtyard behind to find their chief pavilion master.

The mercenaries in the surrounding hall were in a lot of noise at this time, talking together.

"Oh my God, they actually completed the S-class mission Huoyun Mission, it's amazing!"

"The person I saw as the leader was unfathomable! ”

"You see they have two high-level magicians!"

"What kind of weapon is that fighter carrying on his back, I have never seen such a strange weapon, the person who can use such a weapon must be a person with superb martial arts!"

If these mercenaries knew that the Fire Cloud Demon Beast was the cute and cute puppy lying next to Li Qing, they would probably all be frightened and faint, they never thought that the King of Beasts of the Terrible Demon Lost Forest, the Fire Cloud Beast, was Li Qing's pet.

Qilin Tianhuo, who was lying on the side, muttered in his heart: What is there to be noisy, this is just the excess blood on my body, what is there to be surprised about, if it is not my willingness, can they get it!

Hearing the sound of praise around them, Lake and the others couldn't help but feel excited, they couldn't imagine that since they followed the boss, everything seemed to be in a dream, this kind of scene of being so praised and praised by people had never even thought about it before, not only did the martial arts improve rapidly, but also respected people.

Everyone stood there without pride, and the audience was watching.

And Carl, who was beside Li Qing, asked Li Qing with a surprised face: "When did you go to the Lost Demon Forest, how did you complete this task, this is an S-level mission, in the past, three A-level mercenary groups went to the Lost Demon Forest together to kill the Fire Cloud Beast, but only escaped back with less than ten people, and several of them went crazy when they heard about it." ”

Hearing Carl's question, Li Qing was secretly amused and replied, "Actually, it's nothing, it was the Fire Cloud Beast itself that asked us to take the blood from its body." ”

"How is this possible, how can it obediently let you take the blood from its body. Karl said incredulously.

"Because ......!" Li Qing deliberately bought a pass.

"Don't let me be appetized," Karl said anxiously.

"This is because you've also seen the Fire Cloud Beast, how did you forget?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Don't lie to me, I saw that Fire Cloud Beast there," Karl said confusedly.

Li Qing glanced at Tianhuo lying at his feet with his eyes, and then looked at Carl, seeing Li Qing's signal, Carl couldn't react for a while, and after a while, he looked at Tianhuo who was transformed into a cute puppy, and couldn't believe that this was the king of Warcraft that killed countless people in the Lost Demon Forest-Fire Cloud Beast.

"This ...... Only...... Be...... Fire Cloud ...... Beast!" Karl stammered, his eyes wide.

Li Qing smiled and nodded, and said, "What do you say!"

Looking at the puppy-like Tianhuo, Carl had short-circuited at this time, and his brain was already at a standstill.

At this time, a person hurriedly ran out of the back room, an old man in his sixties, wearing a brocade robe, with a pair of glasses on his eyes, and shouted anxiously: "There, there, in the end, the mercenary group has completed the fire cloud mission, let my old man take a look, where is the blood of the fire cloud beast!"

While looking around to see who it was, at this time, the girl who ran out from behind was still panting and shouted: "Old man, don't go so fast, wait for me!"

As he spoke, he rushed to the old man's side, sweating and panting.

The old man hurriedly asked the girl, "Who is it?"

The girl pointed at Li Qing and the others, and before she could speak, the old man had already rushed to Li Qing and the others, stared at Li Qing and looked at them fiercely, and then asked loudly: "What about the blood of the Fire Cloud Beast, quick, quick, let me see." ”

When Li Qing saw that the old man was still so eager at such an age, he handed the glass bottle containing the blood of Tianhuo in his hand to the old man.

The old man hurriedly and carefully took the glass bottle that Li Qing gave him, put it on the counter, observed it carefully, and took out a shining needle made of glass from his clothes, the needle was stained with a drop of blood from the glass bottle, and after taking it out, it was gently dripped on a piece of black crystal placed on the counter.

I saw that as soon as the blood touched the black crystal, the black crystal that was as hard as King Kong suddenly burned rapidly, and immediately turned into a pile of ashes, you must know that the black crystal stone was extremely precious and hard when Yasen and Nyingma participated in the test when they advanced to become high-level magicians, and it took a lot of spirit and strength for Yasen and Nyingma to get it at the beginning, and they couldn't imagine that a small drop would turn the black crystal into ashes.

The old man suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, this is the blood of the Fire Cloud Beast, there is no mistake, it is this blood, I never thought that I would be able to see the blood of this magical beast in my lifetime, this really makes me so happy." ”

The old man carefully placed the glass vial containing the blood of the heavenly fire, which had been blessed by magic, so it was not burned with worry.

At this time, the old man came back to his senses, turned his head and said to Li Qing: "I am the president of the Mercenary Association, I only came here a few days ago, I didn't expect that I would let me meet you heroes, you have completed the S-level task, your mercenary level can directly reach the S-level from the B level, you are the third S-level mercenary group on the Xuanling Continent!"

"Come, I'll reset your mercenary card to S level, modify your information, and design the badge of your mercenary group at your request. The old man continued.

When Lake and the others heard that they had become S-class mercenaries, they were all overjoyed and excited, while Li Qing looked indifferent and didn't care about anything.

The old man couldn't help but be surprised by Li Qing's indifferent appearance, you must know that the mercenary is not proud of being promoted to an S-level mercenary, and when he heard that he became an S-level mercenary, he was probably already excited and didn't know what to do, but Li Qing in front of him looked like he took it for granted, and he didn't have any excitement and excitement at all about being promoted to an S-level mercenary group, which was something he had never seen in his decades of life.

"A few of you will go with the old man to the back room to talk, please!" said the old man politely.

And Carl on the side was flattered, the president of the mercenary association, Cassius, he never thought that he could see him, this mercenary president is a legendary figure, legend has it that he is one of the six golden fighters on the Xuanling Continent, his status is very detached, it is his existence, the mercenary association is now getting stronger and stronger, more and more united.

And when he was only thirty years old, he broke into the orc area of the Yellow Dust Desert alone and successfully returned, and when he was forty years old, he broke into the Tianfeng alone, and killed one of the thirteen beasts and ghosts that had been rampant for decades, and everyone was angry, and these thirteen people all had unique skills, seven of them were senior fighters, and the other six had also reached the realm of silver fighters, although several of them were not fighters. Although there are many people on the Xuanling Continent who want to kill these thirteen beasts who do all kinds of evil, but they all succeed, but they were all killed by these thirteen beasts, Cassius killed the thirteen people alone, and since then his reputation has been shocked, and Cassius has also reached the realm of golden fighters and has become the object of worship of countless fighters.

Since the death of the previous president of the Mercenary Association, Cassius has taken his place, and under his leadership and management, the Mercenary Association and the Magic Association have become equal and powerful.

After a few people came to the back room and sat down, the general president of the mercenary association said: "The old man's name is Cassius, if you want, you can call me Kasius, you can also call me old man." ”

Karl hurriedly humbled and said, "There, Ka Lao, you are a senior, how can I be so unreasonable." ”

As soon as Lake and the others heard that it was one of the six golden fighters in front of them, Cassius, known as the king of mercenaries, they immediately became respectful, but he had heard the story of the six golden fighters since he was a child, and he was an idol he worshiped when he was a child, and now he was standing in front of him alive, how could he not be excited!

Li Qing had an indifferent look, he didn't care, the level of the Golden Fighter was at most a little worse than that of a primordial cultivator in the mortal world, and his fighting skills and means could not be compared with those cultivators at all.

Lake said excitedly: "Cassius senior, you are my idol, I can see you today, it's really ...... Is...... "Lake was already a little incoherent when he spoke.

Cassius looked at Lake for a while, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "Young man, your strength is very strong, it is really shocking to reach the realm of a silver fighter at such a young age!"

looked at the other people again, and was even more shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the strength of the few people here was so strong, there were actually two high-level magicians, and Li Qing's realm was not clear at all, this was something he had never encountered.

Hearing Cassius's appreciation, Lake scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's all taught and trained by our boss to get to such a state." ”

Lake's words shocked Cassius even more, what kind of person is this Li Qing, who has such magical powers.
