Chapter 190
King Na Apo Luo first asked about the situation of the mercenary groups that attended the banquet, especially the situation of the three S-level mercenary groups, and then talked about the comparison of the strength of each mercenary group. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Later, I also heard about why King Apelo held a mercenary tournament. Ya Sen, who was on the side, couldn't help asking: Why? The thief king said in a deep voice: It turns out that since the Dajie Empire lost the scepter of light, all the spearheads have been pointed at the Apelo Empire, and those mercenaries have flocked to the city of Lintian for the title of king of mercenaries and rich rewards, and many mercenaries often visit the palace at night, one after another, making the city of Lintian a mess, and then the prime minister Zuo came up with an idea, that is, to put the things in the dark to the light, and let those mercenary groups fight for themselves.
On the one hand, it can make the city of Lintian no longer so chaotic, and on the other hand, it can also fight those mercenary groups, turn all your attention to the mercenary competition, and make the spearhead turn around. Only then did everyone understand why King Apelo held a mercenary competition, which was indeed a good plan, which made the Dajie Empire's plan to retrieve the Scepter of Light with the help of the mercenary group go bankrupt, and greatly consumed the strength of the mercenary group.
After listening to this, Madara sighed and said: This is really a clever plan, can that mercenary group withstand the temptation of the artifact? Li Qing doesn't care, these things are not a big deal for Li Qing, if it weren't for Ningdas's face, who would care about the loss of the Scepter of Light.
The king of thieves said in a deep voice: If I hadn't visited the palace last night, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the valley by this king of Apello, and I don't know how I would die! Mary asked on the side: Then what should we do, do you want to participate in this mercenary competition? After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Qing and the others eagerly.
Seeing Li Qing's indifferent appearance, he couldn't help but scold in his heart, this big brother Li Qing, what to do is not in a hurry, it is really incomprehensible.
At this time, Angel'er, who was sitting next to Li Qing, flashed with wisdom in her bright eyes, and said quietly: I don't think this matter is necessarily a bad thing! Li Qing looked at Angel with a light smile and said: I don't know what unique insights Sister Qi'er has? Angel smiled elegantly, her face was full of confidence, and she said with a smile: Little sister is foolish, say it, I hope everyone will not laugh! After a pause, he said confidently: I said that this matter is not necessarily a bad thing, first, holding this mercenary competition can at least bring all mercenary groups into the norm, so that they will not be divided into chaos, and unnecessary casualties can be reduced. On the second aspect, we can be sure of at least one thing, that is, the prize of this mercenary competition must be an artifact, although I don't know what an artifact is, at least I know that it is definitely not a fool, you know, if it is a fake artifact, I am afraid that it will cause hatred and attack from all mercenary groups on the Xuanling Continent, I think that King Apelo is not so stupid as this. After hearing Angel's words, Li Qing couldn't help but appreciate this stunning talented woman with Lan Zhihuixin, it was exactly the same as what she thought, and she really deserved to be the first talented woman in the world.
And other people admire Angel even more, but they can't imagine that Angel is not only famous all over the world for her singing, but this wisdom is not comparable to ordinary people.
When the thief king heard Angel's words, he couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Angel's wisdom, and said with emotion: I heard how Miss Angel is stunning in the world, and now I know that Miss Angel's wisdom is as deep as the vast sea, beyond the reach of ordinary people. Hearing the thief king praise herself like this, Angel hurriedly said modestly: The little woman only thinks according to common sense, and has no wisdom, so praise really makes me ashamed! My wisdom is as good as one-ten-thousandth of that of Brother Li Qing, what I can think of, Brother Li Qing may have thought of it a long time ago. Seeing Angel so modest, the king of thieves sighed and said: What is even more rare is that you are as humble as the wisdom of the sea, but you have such a humble mind, this is what makes me really ashamed! Mardala and Mary couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Angel, I didn't expect a woman to have such wisdom, and Mary admired Angel very much.
Mary said adoringly: Sister Qi'er, you are so powerful, I don't know when, I can be as smart as my sister? Angel looked at Mary with a smile and said: As long as you look more, listen more, think and analyze more, and don't be blindly deceived by appearances, you will be smarter than your sister in the future! Hearing Angel's teachings, Mary immediately nodded and took Angel's words to heart.
At this time, Jack hurriedly walked up and said to Li Qing respectfully: "Report to the head of the group, there are three dwarves of the dwarf clan downstairs who ask to see you! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think in their hearts, how could a dwarf find Li Qing. Li Qing smiled faintly and said: Jack, I have a friend of the dwarf clan! Jack said loudly: Yes, regimental leader! After finishing speaking, he turned around and picked up the three dwarves up, and after a while, the sound of footsteps sounded on the stairs, and he went upstairs in the blink of an eye.
When everyone looked at it, they saw that Jack was followed by three dwarves, and one of them was the one Li Qing knew, that is, the dwarf blacksmith Kaida in the dragon city, while the other two dwarves were very eye-catching and had never seen them before.
One of the dwarves was very similar to Kaida, with a red rosacea nose and a full beard, but he was much calmer than Kaida, with lean eyes and strong muscles that showed his strong arm strength, while the other dwarf was much older, wearing yellow clothes, and his long white beard was almost dragging to the ground, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes shone with wisdom.
The dwarf Kaida was also full of joy when he saw Li Qing here, and shouted from afar: "Brother Li Qing, it's really not easy to find you!" As soon as Li Qing saw the dwarf's "bbs.sept5.com) Kaida was so enthusiastic, he couldn't help but smile and said: Kaida, why did you come here, aren't you in the Dragon City?" The dwarf Kaida and the other three walked in front of Li Qing and the others, and Kaida said with a hearty smile: "We came to you this time, and I handed over the blacksmith shop in Dragon City to someone else to manage!" Li Qing said lightly: "Looking for me?" Kaida said with a smile: Let me first introduce you to the people of our dwarf clan, this is the owner of the blacksmith shop in the city of Lintian, Enhosi, he is one of the best blacksmith masters in our dwarf clan! Then he pointed to the white-bearded old dwarf next to him and said: "This is Elder Ham, one of the ten elders of our dwarf race, and he is also the head of our dwarf race in the human empire. After Enhuo and Ham gave Li Qing and the others a human courtesy, they only heard Elder Ham say aloud: I heard Kaida mention you and say that Li Qing is the best among people. Li Qing said lightly: Elder Ham praised him, Li Qing is really embarrassed! Then he introduced the thief king, Angel and others, and then said: I don't know, this time Elder Ham made a special trip to find me, what is the matter? At this time, Kaida and Enhuo both retreated behind Elder Ham, you must know that although the dwarf clan is very heroic and straightforward, but the hierarchy in the clan is very strict, the elders have absolute majesty in the clan, and the next generation of dwarves must not exceed this boundary, otherwise it is disrespectful to the elders and will be severely punished.
There is no mention of the dwarves here, the dwarves have always lived in underground palaces, what they are best at is finding all kinds of minerals buried deep in the ground, and they are geniuses in craftsmanship, whether it is forging weapons and armor, or small crafts, they are handy.
At the same time, they are also stubborn and honor-oriented brave warriors, even if they fight until only a soldier remains, they will never surrender, they are brave and fearless, they are born warriors.
They are very similar to the dragons, and like to collect gold and other metals, which may have something to do with their being blacksmiths.
Elder Ham said unhurriedly: It's not convenient to talk here, it's better to talk in the room! After hearing Elder Ham's words, Li Qing knew that he would definitely have to help himself with a difficult matter this time, so he led Elder Ham and a few others to his room.
Elder Ham looked at the King of Thieves and the others, and stopped talking, seeing Elder Ham's appearance, Li Qing said lightly: They are all my friends, and they will definitely not leak out about our conversation. When the thief king, Madara and others heard it, they couldn't help but be very moved, you know, they are not related to Li Qing, and the thief himself followed Li Qing because he lost the gambling contract, I didn't expect Li Qing to trust himself so much, this friendship really made the thief king admire Li Qing's five bodies.
Elder Ham said in a deep voice: This time, we have the cheekiness to find Li Qing, which really makes me feel very ashamed, I don't know if Li Qing can do us a favor? Li Qing said lightly: If there is something to do, even if I can help, I will definitely help! Elder Ham glanced at Li Qing gratefully and said: I hope Li Qing can participate in the mercenary competition instead of us! As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately shocked, and they didn't expect that this mercenary competition would actually involve the dwarf race, and it seemed that this matter was getting more and more complicated.
Li Qing said indifferently: Of course! Hearing that Li Qing didn't think about it or ask the reason, he immediately agreed, and Elder Ham couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Li Qing to agree so happily.
In fact, the last time Li Qing accepted those weapons and armor from Nakaida in the Dragon City, he had a good impression of the dwarf race, and that time he got those armor and weapons for no reason, and he also hoped to repay this favor, and Li Qing didn't like to owe others a favor and not pay it back.
At this time, I only heard Elder Ham ask Li Qing in surprise: Li Qing, don't you want to ask us why you want to participate in this mercenary competition? Li Qing smiled lightly and said: Help friends, why do you need a reason, if you want to tell us, you will naturally say, if you don't want to say, there must be something difficult for you, why should we ask? Hearing Li Qing's words, Elder Ham's pair of eyes full of wisdom couldn't help but flash with admiration, and said with a smile on his face: I really didn't see the wrong person, then I don't have to hide anything, otherwise it will show that our dwarf clan is not enough friends! After a pause, Elder Ham's face tightened, and he said in a deep voice: This time, I hope Li Qing can help us participate in the mercenary competition, win the championship, and get back the prize of that competition, that artifact! When everyone heard this, they all immediately showed surprise, unexpectedly, this dwarf clan was also interested in that artifact, it seems that this mercenary competition has become more and more interesting.
Li Qing asked: I don't know, what is the use of Elder Ham asking for that artifact? Elder Ham sighed and said: I won't hide it from you, in fact, that artifact is the treasure of our dwarf clan, that is, the hammer of the god of war left by the god of war in our dwarf clan. When Li Qing and the others heard this, they were taken aback, and they didn't expect that the artifact rewarded in this mercenary competition was actually the weapon of the God of War, the Hammer of the God of War.
Everyone has been inquiring about what kind of artifact this artifact is, but they didn't expect that there was nowhere to find it when they stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get it, and the news was automatically sent to the door.
Li Qing asked lightly: How does Elder Ham know that the artifact of the reward for the mercenary competition is the Hammer of the God of War? Elder Ham said in a deep voice: Actually, the main reason why our dwarves will come to the human empire to open a blacksmith shop is to look for the hammer of the god of war, about a hundred years ago, someone stole the hammer of the god of war from our underground palace, and our dwarven race has been looking for a hundred years in the human empire, but there is no news! Recently, we dwarves heard that this time there is going to be a mercenary competition, and the prize of the competition is an artifact, we asked around what kind of artifact this artifact is, and finally the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, we opened the tunnel, went to the palace, eavesdropped on the conspiracy of King Apelo and the prime ministers, only to know that they are going to take it out as a prize is our dwarf clan's treasure of the town of the god of war, the hammer of the god of war!
Elder Ham continued: "So, I hope Li Qing you can help us get back the treasure of our dwarf clan, you know, we dwarves have not participated in the mercenary group, and we can't participate in the competition at all, and your Tianhuo mercenary group is the three major S-level mercenary groups, I think only you can help us get back the hammer of the god of war! Li Qing said firmly to Elder Ham: Elder Ham don't worry, we will definitely help you get back the treasure of your dwarf clan!" Seeing Li Qing's confident expression, Elder Ham couldn't help but feel relieved, and said to Li Qing: Thank you so much Li Qing this time, whether you succeed or not, you are the most honored guest of our dwarf clan. Li Qing said lightly: "Elder Ham, don't worry! Elder Ham said gratefully: Thank you Li Qing, Kaida is staying here, he may be able to help you, and he is still a heroic warrior! When Li Qing and the others heard this, they couldn't imagine that this Elder Ham left Kaida here, and he couldn't refuse, you must know that dwarves are all arrogant races, and rejecting this request means that Kaida is not a heroic warrior, so he will never be able to gain a foothold in the dwarf race in the future.
Li Qing smiled indifferently and said, "Then let Kaida participate in the mercenary competition with me!" Hearing that Li Qing agreed to keep Kaida here, Elder Ham smiled and nodded, while Kaida sighed, if Li Qing refused, then he would never be able to raise his head in the dwarf clan again.
Elder Ham said to Kaida with a serious expression: "Kaida, you stay here, everything is under Li Qing's orders, if there is anything offensive to Li Qing, see how I clean you up!" Kaida immediately said with sincere fear: Elder Ham, you can rest assured, I will definitely not lose the honor of our dwarf clan. Elder Ham nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Li Qing: "Li Qing, if there is anything to do, just tell Kaida, if there is anything disobedient, just teach the lesson, then we will take our leave first! After finishing speaking, he stood up and performed a dwarf etiquette on Li Qing.
Li Qing said lightly: "Elder Ham is leaving, then we won't be far away!" Elder Ham and the two dwarves said goodbye to Li Qing and the others and left the inn.
At this time, Na Kaida hurriedly took out a wine bottle from his arms, poured a few sips into his mouth, burped, and said: I am really suffocated, with the elders, I can't even drink wine, and now I can finally drink it! Li Qing saw Kaida looking like a drunkard, and asked with a smile: Kaida, how did you find us? Madara, the King of Thieves and the others couldn't help but look at the dwarf Kaida, who saw so many people looking at him, blushing, and didn't know if it was because of his shame or drinking, and said loudly: Actually, after listening to the rumors outside, I learned that Li Qing is the head of the Tianhuo Mercenary Regiment, so after inquiring, I found out that you live in this Tongfu Inn, so I came to look for you with the elders! Li Qing asked: What rumors are circulating outside? Kaida shook his head and said loudly: Don't you know? Mary hurriedly asked: What rumors don't you know? Kaida glanced at Angel and said with a grin: Now it is rumored outside that Miss Angel, who is the best in the world, was forcibly taken away by Li Qing, the leader of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group, and the head of the Martial Arts Alliance came forward to stop it, and was seriously injured by Li Qing, and now all Miss Angel's loyal followers want to heroically save the beauty and save Angel from Li Qing's clutches. Hearing this crying and laughing news, everyone looked at Li Qing and Angel, with a look of horror on their faces, they couldn't imagine that last night's incident had been rumored like this now.
The king of thieves scolded loudly and angrily: That bastard is actually spreading rumors and causing trouble like this, if I am caught, I will have to see him and beat him once! Li Qing said indifferently: Why do you mind what others say, what good will it do you to increase your anger? Everyone saw Li Qing so indifferent, and they did not look angry at all, as if they were talking about other people's affairs now, and it seemed that nothing could make Li Qing have mood swings.
Mary said angrily: But hearing this kind of rumor that right and wrong are reversed and black and white is not distinguished, it always makes people uncomfortable! Li Qing said lightly: Then why do you mind what others say, what others say will only make you uncomfortable, and those who say it will not suffer any harm at all, so why should everyone do such a stupid thing? Open your mind and only benefit yourself and do no harm! When everyone heard Li Qing's words, they couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation, indeed, caring about what others say will only make them more troubled, while others are taking pleasure in it, why haven't they seen through such a stupid thing before.
Angel's eyes were even more beautiful, her eyes were full of affection and admiration for Li Qing, and she said softly: What Brother Li Qing said is extremely true, why should we bother with such boring rumors, in life, as long as we grasp what we love, it is enough!
A hundred years of life, in the blink of an eye, ashes are annihilated, so why bother to cling to other people's gossip.
The thief king, Madara and others couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Li Qing, although Li Qing seemed to be only in the year of the weak crown, but every word was thought-provoking.
The thief king sighed and said: The old man has lived for most of his life, and today he realized that he really lived in vain before, and Li Qing's words really embarrassed the old man! Li Qing said: Okay, you don't have to care about anything! Yasen, you go to the affairs department to sign up for the mercenary contest first, go early and return early! Yasen immediately replied loudly: Yes, boss, I'll do it! After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, and went to the affairs department in the city of heaven to sign up for the mercenary contest.
Angel waited for Yasen to leave, and said: "Big brother, I don't know how many people are going to be sent to participate in the mercenary competition?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel nervous, and they all wanted to know that Li Qing was going to send those people to participate in the mercenary competition, and they couldn't help but look at Li Qing.
Li Qing glanced at everyone and said: There are only five people who can participate in the mercenary competition, me, Amdo, Yasen, plus Jack, even if Kaida is the representative of the dwarf clan, he can be regarded as a member of our mercenary group for the time being, plus Kaida, just five people participate in the mercenary competition! You know, this lineup can be said to be the most powerful combination in the entire Xuanling Continent, and Li Qing alone can sweep the entire mercenary world.
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that this combination could be said to be reasonable.
This morning's harvest is not small, I have become friends with the dwarf clan, and I also know that the artifact of the mercenary competition is the hammer of the god of war left on the continent by the god of war, at least there is no need to guess whether that artifact is the scepter of light.
Li Qing specially ordered the members of the first team of the Burning Shadow Team to protect the safety of Angel and others, although Li Qing's strength is strong, but he can't always protect Angel and others, after all, being careful is not a bad thing, if something happens, it will be really regretted.
And the mercenaries of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group also got along very happily with the members of the Phantom Squad, after all, they were all from poor backgrounds and had a common language with each other, and the Phantom Squads also passed on some of their cultivation experience to the Flying Eagle Mercenaries, which benefited them a lot.
