030 Dongfang Jun
No one knows the origin of the word mercenary, and it seems to have been handed down from antiquity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info mercenary is a neutral term, with both good guys and bad guys. The mercenary is a transcendent existence, and even if he kills someone, the law enforcement team in the city usually doesn't care. In fact, they can't control it, because the people who can become mercenaries are all people who practice martial arts, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes are naturally managed by the rivers and lakes.
Mercenaries can fight the Gold Eater for a bounty to save a village in need. It is also possible to kill an unarmed person for a bounty. It is for this reason that civilians both love and hate mercenaries, they are slaves to money, and they will destroy humanity for money, but they are indispensable.
A common saying among mercenaries is 'there is a wrong, there is a debtor', although I killed you, if you take revenge, go to the person who issued the bounty task!
Originally, every city had a mercenary liaison station, but with the dismal tasks of some cities, the mercenary station also disappeared, and it is rare to see mercenaries in cities without mercenary stations.
Mojin City is close to the Tiejin Mountain Range, and there is not only a mercenary liaison station here, but also a very large and magnificent place, so there are many mercenaries here.
The mercenary station of Mojin City is located in the north of the central area of the city, and the five-story building is extremely rare for the Great Xia Kingdom, so it has become the symbol of Mojin City, and even the palace of the chief official in the city has to stand aside.
In addition to civilians from neighboring cities who come to visit, it is common to see groups of mercenaries carrying various strange weapons, or riding or walking from here, and the arrival of vehicles usually indicates that there will be a new bounty quest released.
There are no shops around the mercenary station, and the mercenary station can be said to have everything, coupled with the high rent here, it often makes the merchants who come here lose their money, who can grab the business of the mercenary station.
However, this did not delay the business of the small traders and vendors, so the whole street was lined with stalls, and the small traders and vendors were doing small business that the mercenary station could not look down on.
"Sesame seeds, good sesame seeds, sesame seeds that can only be eaten by the lord and queen, if you don't buy them, come and see them......" A young man who looked short and white and chubby stood on the side of the road and shouted loudly, and his arrogant shouting attracted many onlookers, making the already not wide street even more crowded, but there were no mercenaries wearing weapons among these people.
"Little fat man, how do you sell this thing?" someone asked curiously.
"Five taels of silver a tael, sold at half a catty!" the little fat man didn't care what others called him, and replied with a smile.
"Five taels of silver, are you crazy to be poor?" The price of the lion's mouth immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of the crowd, you know, five taels of silver can be eaten in a restaurant in the city.
"Big brother, don't you know what it is? This is a sesame seed called soft gold! Do you know where it came from?" The little fat man took out a kiwi from his arms as if he had been prepared, and pulled out the short knife that was carried on his waist, and with a 'swish' he cut the kiwi into two, and held the incision to show the crowd. "Look at it, look at it, you know this thing, the king of fruits, kiwifruit, these black and black are the sesame seeds I sell, let's not talk about the kung fu money to pick out these sesame seeds one by one, let's just say how many sesame seeds can be picked out by this kiwifruit, more than a hundred you beat me away, and how many sesame seeds are one or two, how can you get hundreds or thousands, how much is a kiwi, come, you help me settle the account!"
"People's kiwifruit sells for pulp, not these black seeds!" retorted unconvinced.
The little fat man took out a few black seeds with a scimitar and shook them. "Friend, can we not take ignorance as a personality? Who doesn't know that the most nutritious thing in kiwi fruit is these sesame seeds, this is the essence, you know it!"
"Really, fake?" someone began to get excited.
The little fat man proudly patted a round sign on his left chest with his knife face, making a crisp sound. "If it's false, come to me, and go to this door. ”
The circular emblem is adorned by a golden sword cross, which represents the status of a mercenary.
After a brief silence in the crowd, someone finally pulled out the money. "Give me half a catty!"
Seeing that some people were willing to buy, other people who were still a little hesitant also followed suit, and the crowd became a little chaotic for a while, and the little fat man comforted the crowd while weighing sesame seeds with his hands and feet. "Don't worry, we all have a ......"
Some mercenaries squeezed past here, and they all shook their heads when they saw this scene. "This kid is deceiving people again......"
After the robbery, the song ended, and the black sesame seeds on the little fat man's stall were gone, but his chest was bulging, obviously full of loads.
"Uncle Zhao, you're back, smoke a cigarette, this is a pearl bracelet I specially brought from the east to give your daughter ......"
"Brother Liu, you are wearing this fishbone ring, this is a shark bone ......"
"Sister Zhang, you are really getting more and more beautiful, this pair of earrings is made of cassiterite, wearing it on the body can not only prolong life, but also keep you ......young forever."
Almost every mercenary who passed by was greeted warmly by the little fat man, and stuffed with a worthless, but very rare small gift. And everyone is smiling and accepting, or praising twice, or educating two sentences. Whether it is praise or education, the little fat man has an open face to accept, such an obedient young man, who can bear to expose his deceptive tricks in public, although it is obviously five taels and one pound of sesame seeds that he sold for fifty taels, but everyone just didn't see it. Of course, the main reason for this is the father of the little fat man, a respected king of mercenaries!
Mercenaries are divided into four ranks, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Trainee Mercenary! This rank can be seen from the emblem worn on the mercenary's chest, the gold symbol is the gold mercenary, the silver symbol is the silver mercenary, the green symbol is the bronze mercenary, and the wooden symbol is the trainee mercenary. And those who can become gold medal mercenaries are extremely rare in every mercenary station, and usually such people are called the king of mercenaries.
Upgraded from trainee mercenary to bronze and silver mercenaries, you only need to complete a certain number of tasks, but gold medal mercenaries can only be obtained if they have made great contributions to mankind, Dongfang Pengfei, the father of the little fat man, once killed five third-level gold-swallowing beasts by himself in a city defense battle, and led the mercenary team to repel the beast tide and keep a city, so he was awarded a gold medal mercenary.
Little Fat Man's mother is also a mercenary, but just four years ago, the couple in a rescue mission, unfortunately encountered a fourth-level gold swallowing beast, in order to cover the evacuation of the team, the couple stayed in the Tiejin Mountains forever, the little fat man Dongfang Jun became an orphan, he was twelve years old that year.
Mercenaries are a profession that licks blood from the knife edge, although uncles and aunts want to help Dongfang Jun, they are also powerless, and in the end, you can only pull a hand, I will help you, and work together to bring Dongfang Jun up.
Dongfang Jun has been unwilling to endure hardships since he was a child, coupled with the fact that his parents are often not around, and his uncle and aunt can't bear to be too strict with him after becoming an orphan, so his martial arts are really not on the stage, but he is surprisingly attentive to the fish swimming footwork left by his father, and he has practiced a good light skill.
Often listening to the stories told by mercenaries, Dongfang Jun likes adventure from the bottom of his bones, so since he was fourteen years old, he has been wandering around, traveling one-fifth of the cities of the Great Xia Kingdom in two years, and he has also learned the 'skills' to make a living!
