The annual Enlightenment Day of the Yan and Huang Kingdom is coming, and the Thundercloud Mercenary Regiment under the command of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment will be fully engaged in escort work. The escort route still starts from the town of Fuguang, passing through three towns along the way, and charges a nominal fee.

Years of war had led to a withering population, and the Thundercloud Mercenaries had committed three hundred men to barely six hundred six-year-olds they were escorting.

When the Qimai Day came, all the school-age children in Fusu City gathered, the total number did not exceed 10,000, which made people sigh. But no one was surprised, because it was the best time in the last dozen years. The worst time was in the six years immediately after the end of the war, when the total number of children who came to the Enlightenment was less than 2,000 at its lowest.

After many years of truce, the population slowly recovered. Of course, Donglin College will not expand its enrollment, because their standards are there, the lowest bloodline grade and low-grade bloodline, and they are from noble families. The other two sects also reduced their enrollment, because once the war resumed, the army would recruit officers from the sects as soon as possible, and few of the cadets who had barely experienced combat survived on the battlefield. Therefore, they do not intend to spend more resources on training talents to fill the holes of war.

On the day of the opening of the pulse, there were less than 10,000 people, and there were only ten batches, and it was over in half a day. Most of the children have a look of disappointment on their faces, and those with inferior or even higher grade bloodlines are always in the minority.

Among them, in the courtyard in charge of the Thundercloud Mercenary Group, more than 600 children are staying here, waiting to be sent home, although they are only six years old, they basically know the importance of bloodline, so there are no more than thirty children with smiles on their faces, they gather together to talk and laugh.

At this moment, Yi Liantian, the head of the regiment escorting them, suddenly stood up and scolded loudly, "Be quiet." ”

For a moment, all the children stopped and did not make any other movements, and Yi Liantian continued: "Now on behalf of the Holy Wind Academy, I invite you to participate in the entrance screening test, and those who pass will receive apprenticeship status, and will receive basic living expenses every month. ”

First, most of the children were very confused, "What is the place of the Holy Wind Academy?"

There are also children who know, "Holy Wind Academy, I know, an unruly academy. A genius like me would never go to that kind of place, Donglin College and Zhuge Academy are where I belong. ”

But there was also a little girl in a sackcloth dress who stood up, "Uncle, can people from villages like us go to the Holy Wind Academy?"

Yi Liantian said with a smile: "As long as you pass the potential test, you can do it." ”

"What is the potential test?"

Yi Liantian was stunned for a moment, "This makes me think about it," and after a while he said, "I don't know very well, anyway, it has nothing to do with the bloodline grade." How to test is the calculation of the group of teachings. I think you can go to the test as much as you can, and if you pass, you can get living expenses and reduce the burden on your family. ”

As soon as they heard about reducing the burden on their families, many children jumped up and down to sign up.

Yi Liantian couldn't help but sigh, "It's still useful." Then he sent people to other small courtyards to publicize, and was willing to compensate the escort team for the corresponding expenses.

Finally, a long convoy of carriages departed from Zidu Square, each carrying twenty children, a total of three hundred and three carriages. In other words, Yi Liantian successfully fooled more than 6,000 children to participate in the test.

It was already the second day since the test began, and the formation mages were selected first, only to see the three formation mages wandering around the crowd, stunned that they didn't see a single person. But one person accepted an apprentice, summoned from their own family, the position of formation mage is very important, it is basically a family inheritance, they are willing to stay here is only the salary comparable to that of a saint-level powerhouse, and they can use the resources of the mercenary group to constantly experiment and improve their abilities. For this, Xingchen is very clear, but the formation mage is the most popular profession, and there is no one, so they are given great privileges.

Then there is the test of other teachings, and when it is Zhen Xiuniang's turn, she uses the embroidery method test. She was given a picture and then asked the children to express it with a needle and thread, with her eyes closed. When the test was over, she took twenty children, all girls, and her criteria for choosing people were very strange, and some of them didn't know what the embroidery was.

And so, as the day passed, the test was over, and 500 children were selected to stay. The Holy Wind Mercenaries will send someone to inform their parents.

On the third day after the test, a special colorful jelly bean was distributed to the 500 children, and the school agreement was signed. In the following month, many children's bloodlines were activated, and there was even a girl with middle-grade bloodlines who was directly recommended by Xingchen to Zhuge Academy.

At the same time as the Holy Wind Academy was enrolled, the Ranger Squad began to rebuild. The Ranger Squad at this point is different from the previous Ranger Squad in that it will be made up entirely of elves, or elven slaves to be exact.

As early as more than a month ago, Wu Xin led his team in the East City of Fusu City, and even went to several cities in the neighboring Fire City, and bought a full six hundred elven slaves at a high price.

There were many tents set up in the underground schoolyard of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, and the elven slaves lived here for a long time until their number reached six hundred. In this place where there is no light of day, the elven slaves have lost the heart of resistance, because they will never be able to escape the bondage of the slave mark on their souls.

But living here is nothing, after all, there is a ball of light above the underground school field, which brings them a lot of light and warmth, although sometimes the ball of light disappears for two or three hours.

When the number of elves reached six hundred, the ball of light suddenly disappeared, and the elves were accustomed to it, but they did not know that the ball of light appeared directly above the station of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, and its light reflected the full moon in the sky, and there seemed to be a dark blue sword in between.

After a while, the ball of light disappeared, replaced by a sky-rushing beam, if someone was far enough away, it could be seen that it was a supersword, and at the same time, the blue sword absorbed the power of the moonlight, and gradually changed into a slender figure, pointed ears of humanoid light and shadow, this humanoid light and shadow was born a moment after flying into the supersword, turning into a pattern on it. Then the Optimus Giant Sword suddenly disappeared, revealing a small figure, it was Xingchen himself, and now, he had finally integrated all his power into the way of the sword, and his current realm was equivalent to the late stage of the saint level.

Now that the special trick he once created in anger can finally be used again, he will not be attacked again.

In a happy mood, Xingchen's figure turned around and came to the sky above the underground school field. He didn't hide his whereabouts, and just stood above and watched the many elves.

The elves also noticed his presence and summoned their companions.

The only elf whose strength had reached the consummation of the Innate Realm stood up, she was wearing green leaf armor, with scattered silver-white hair, and her gentle eyebrows had long been accustomed to angry eyes, "Human, what do you want to do when you bought us and put us in this underground world?"

Xingchen smiled slightly, if it weren't for this group of elves, he wouldn't be able to parse the elven bloodline, and naturally he wouldn't be able to integrate the elven bloodline into the way of the sword, "I want to make a deal with you." ”

The white-haired elf didn't believe it at all, "Trading, where would anyone trade with slaves?"

Xingchen smiled: "You look at this." With a wave of his hand, a piece of parchment flew out and floated in front of the elf. The white-haired elf didn't catch the parchment for the first time, until she saw the text on it like a song of the moon, and exclaimed, "Elven text?"

Xingchen nodded, "That's right, as long as you can complete it, I will personally lead the team to send you to the Elven Ancient Kingdom according to the agreement." ”

The white-haired elf was puzzled, "Most of the human beings are cunning and cunning, would you be so kind?"

Xingchen didn't speak, his mind moved, and the spiritual power of the moon flew out of his body, and condensed into the real body of a high elf, with silver-white hair fluttering, wearing silver moonlight armor, and holding a sacrificial staff in his hand.

The white-haired elf saw the true body of the high elf beside Xingchen, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It turned out to be the blood of the high elves, and it is the moon sacrifice elf with excellent magical talent, how is it possible? What are you? Half elf?" She could sense the life fluctuations on Xingchen's body that belonged to the elves alone, and the elf bloodline would not be fake.

The true body appeared for a while and then disappeared, and the stars flew down and stood in front of the white-haired elf, "It doesn't matter what I am, the important thing is that you can trust me. I swear in the name of the god of the moon that I will fulfill my contract. ”

The white-haired elf and the star looked at each other for a moment, reached out and imprinted his spirit sigil on the parchment, and then bowed respectfully to the star, "Evelyn will be loyal to you until the contract is completed." ”

With the allegiance of the white-haired elves, one elf after another has its own spiritual imprint on the parchment and declares allegiance to the stars.

Seeing this, Xingchen smiled, he waved his hand lightly, and more than a dozen wooden boxes appeared next to him, and then he held a silver armor scimitar in his right hand and a yellow treasure chest in his right hand.

"From today onwards, Evelyn is appointed Minister of the Ranger Department, and she will be given the best spirit weapon armor scimitar. In these small chests are the tokens of the Minister, Captain, Squadron Leader, and Platoon Leader, and in those large chests are standard armor. Evelyn, the internal appointment of the Ranger Department, I leave it to you with full authority. Later, someone will take you to the Mercenary Guild to go through the formalities to become a mercenary, and you will be included in the establishment of my Holy Wind Mercenary Group. ”

Evelyn, the white-haired elf, looked up at the stars, "Dare to ask if you are from the mercenary group?"

"Commander. ”

Evelyn shouted, "Follow the orders of the regimental commander. The elves shouted together, "Follow the orders of the commander." ”

By the time they looked up, the figure of the stars had disappeared. At the same time, the gate of the underground school field finally opened, and the long-lost moonlight shone into the school field through the gate.

Looking at the misty moonlight, the elves, including Evelyn, had a dreamlike feeling, all of which was too unreal.

Elves as a major race in the deer world, because everyone has outstanding figures, good looks, so it has always been a hot spot in the slave market, especially female elves, but also the favorite of many playboys, so a hundred of the elves who were captured as slaves are ninety-nine female elves, and the only male elves are also prepared for some old monsters with special fetishes.

Evelyn thought that she would be toyed with after being bought, and she already thought about life and death, but with the seal of slavery, suicide was impossible. And now the people who bought her had no interest in that at all, and seemed to just want to use their own force. And he promised to set them free after completing the contract. It's no different from dreaming.

When Evelyn sighed, an exclamation came, "The grade of this armor is so high, the lowest is the middle grade spirit weapon level. And it's very comfortable to the touch, but this method of making it doesn't seem to be our elf's. ”
