Chapter 16: The Celestial Dragon Mercenary Group
In the early morning of early summer, the sky has been bright, the streets of Jinlong City have already been crowded with people, all kinds of people and other rivers are endless, on both sides of the street, the sound of small traders selling one after another, it is even more lively.
At this time, it has been more than a month since the end of the Five Academies Competition, the Central Demon Martial Arts Academy won the championship as he wished, and the four elementary schools also graduated after the end of the semester, as for the other participating students, they were all detained by Cage, and let them stay in the school to teach the martial arts left by Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian and Si Xiao left the school after the end of this semester of classes at the Central Demon Martial Academy, and after resting at home for a few days, they got together and began their journey to the mainland.
Their first stop was the Mercenary Guild in Golden Dragon City.
A group of five people and one dragon, with the flow of people, came to the door of the mercenary guild.
The mercenary guild in Golden Dragon City is the mercenary general trade union in the Huaze Empire, so the area is also very large, and there are a lot of people coming in and out.
Speaking of tasks, then let's talk about it, this task is difficult and easy, the simple is to help people look at the child, find something or something, as for the difficult, it depends on what the task is, and the level of the task is divided into E, D, C, B, A, S and other levels, E level is the lowest, S level is the highest, the same is true for mercenary groups, and now there are three strongest mercenary groups on the mainland, namely the Howling Wolf Mercenary Group, the Zhantian Mercenary Group and the Broken Blade Mercenary Group, all of which are S-level mercenary groups with a history of hundreds of years.
Since the mercenary union has a long history, there are naturally a lot of rules, which also stipulate that there is no restriction on the level of the mercenary group to accept the task, that is to say, you can also take the highest level of the task as long as you have the strength.
Everyone stepped into the hall, looked left and right, and came to the front desk.
In the service desk was a girl, who was beautiful and beautiful, and when she saw someone coming over, she hurriedly said, "Hello, welcome, do you need my help?"
"This sister, it's like this, we want to set up a mercenary group, I don't know ......," Pu Xue stepped forward and said.
"Oh, that's right, well, what is the name of your mercenary group?" said the waitress, pulling out a form from the counter with something written on it.
"Celestial Dragon Mercenary Regiment. Ida said, this is what everyone discussed, when they planned to set up a mercenary group before, there were a lot of proposals, such as Peel, named the Undefeated Mercenary Group, and it was Ao Yuan's tail that answered him, and he flew out at once, and it took a long time before he walked back grinning.
In the end, under Ao Yuan's violent coercion, the mercenary group's name was Tianlong.
"Tianlong Mercenary Group?" the waitress was stunned, but the professional quality of the people was high, although it was a little strange, she still wrote her name on the paper.
And the names and occupations of your members?" asked the waitress again.
Everyone reported their names one after another, Feng Xiaotian was the head of the regiment, and the deputy head was Ida, when the four small ones reported their names in turn, the waitress couldn't help but raise her head in surprise and looked at the line.
"Hee-hee, it's you. The waitress laughed.
"Do you know them?" asked Feng Xiaotian.
"Hehe, now there is no one in the capital who doesn't know them, and the foursome who led the Central Demon Martial Academy to win the championship, I went to watch the game. The waitress said.
Soon, the form was filled out, and then he gave the badges symbolizing the identity of the mercenaries to several people, and said: "Congratulations to the mercenaries who have become mercenaries, then from now on, you can take on the mission." β
Looking at the task hanging all over the wall, everyone present felt a little dizzy, rubbed their eyes a little dazzled, and Sixiao looked for a target on the wall.
Feng Xiaotian was also looking for it, and suddenly, he found a task, hanging it on the highest place, there was no task card posted around, there was some dust on it, it seemed that it had been hanging on it for a long time, this time, he couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.
"May I ask what is the task of the top one?" asked Feng Xiaotian.
"Where is the top one?" asked the waitress, looking confused.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian didn't say much, and with a move of his hand, he sucked the task card over, wiped the dust off it, and handed it to the waitress.
The waitress took it and took a closer look, her face couldn't help but change, and then she regained her professional smile, and only heard and said: "I'm sorry, this gentleman, this task is the highest level, and I can't take this task if I don't have enough mercenary level and strength." β
"Oh, didn't you say that there is no limit, what is the reason, can you tell me" Feng Xiaotian asked a little strangely.
"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, this is a rather dangerous mission, it has been placed here for nearly two hundred years, no one can complete it, and it is almost a situation of ten deaths, so we have put down such a high place. The waitress said truthfully.
"Oh, what kind of mission is it?" Sixiao, who was looking for the task next to him, noticed the situation here, and couldn't help asking, at this time, Peel walked to the side, picked up the task card and took a closer look, only to see what was written on it: Go to the Dark Forest, hunt the magic core of the Dark Two-Headed Dragon, and the mission level is S-level.
The other three also squeezed over, and when they saw this task, they couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but be more curious, pulled Peel over, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with this mission?"
Peel shook his head and said, "No problem, it's just that this mission is really ......" Peel slowly talked about the history of this mission.
It turned out that three hundred years ago, when this mission was just released, it caused a great sensation, and several mercenary groups that thought that their strength was quite good went one after another, but they all failed, and later, the most powerful S-class mercenary group at that time, entered the dark forest with elite strength, but in the end, only one person escaped, leaving only a few words that were not very detailed and died.
This matter was paid attention to by the mainland's high-level officials, and a team of dozens of people was formed, and they entered the dark forest again, hoping to find out the situation, in this team, the weakest ones have the strength of the war saints, when people thought they would return triumphantly, but they didn't expect that in the end, only seven or eight people came out, and they were seriously injured, and when others asked, they didn't mention it, and after they went back, they dispersed and joined the mercenary guilds of several countries, and listed this task as the highest level, and the release of this task was attributed to the task that the mercenary union of these countries could only receive, at this time, anyone knew that the task failedγ
This incident caused an uproar on the mainland, what is the existence in the Dark Forest, so many masters actually died there, and some people also went to inquire, but they were driven out. Since then, this task has been regarded as a taboo task in the mercenary world, and no one has taken it.
After listening to Peel's story, Feng Xiaotian understood the meaning of the waitress's words, smiled slightly, called Sixiao aside, and whispered: "I think we will take this task, what do you think?"
The four children were stunned, and then their faces showed excited expressions, these four boys who didn't know the height of the sky immediately agreed, and Peel also said: "Hehe, with our boss out of the horse, isn't that little dark two-headed dragon at your fingertips......? Speaking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.
Erin gave Peel a slap in the face on the spot, she looked at Peel and sneered: "Yes, the world is famous, may I ask, great Mr. Peel, don't you dream in vain, okay? Look at your smugness, or you can kill the two-headed dragon yourself." β
Peel was hit in the head hard, and was ridiculed by Erin, and couldn't help but blush, and stood there, scratching his head, and laughing, but didn't speak.
Ada, who was standing next to him, said: "It's okay, let's go to the Dark Forest, our strength is much stronger than before, take this opportunity to exercise well, and complete this task, killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't it be happy." β
"That is, we can also travel to the mainland and increase our knowledge, which is simply a triple win. Pu Xue echoed.
After a few people finished discussing, regardless of the feelings of the people around them, they walked to the front of the service desk, nodded to Feng Xiaotian, and listened to Feng Xiaotian say: "We will take this task of hunting the dark two-headed demon dragon." β
The waitress nodded, and was about to write something on the paper, and after a while, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said loudly, "What did you say?" Her voice was so loud that the people in the mercenary union jumped down, stopped talking, and looked this way in unison.
"Hehe, don't be so surprised, we took this task. Feng Xiaotian laughed.
"It's a serious matter, no joke. The waitress finally came to her senses, and after trying to calm herself, her face was very serious.
"We're definitely not kidding. Feng Xiaotian didn't have a trace of a smile on his face, and said word by word.
"I'm sorry, but I still can't give you this task. The waitress said slowly, still with a straight face.
"Why?" this time, even the super-good-tempered Pu Xue was a little dissatisfied.
"Because I don't have enough rank and don't have this right, I can only invite Elder Qi, who is in charge of this matter, to come. The woman said truthfully.
"Huh?" A few people were stunned, and Feng Xiaotian said with a smile: "Please also ask the girl to invite Qi Changlong out." β
The waitress nodded, turned and walked back.
The waitress left, those mercenaries and the rest of the service staff are still there, although I don't know what happened, but related to Qi Changlong, there is only that task, could it be that these people are here to take over the task? The staff who knew about this matter became a little strange, this change fell into the eyes of a group of mercenaries, and people with good deeds began to ask, and after asking, the people present were quiet for a while, and then whispered there.
After a while, the waitress led an old man out, and the old man walked quickly to the front of the service desk, and saw a few people standing in front of the desk, and then stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to take that task?"
"Yes, we are, you are Qi Changlong?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
"It's down there, well, this is not a place to talk, please come with me. Qi Changlong glanced around and said quickly.
After that, he stretched out his hand to lead the way, Feng Xiaotian and several people glanced at each other, nodded, turned the service desk, and strode towards the back under the guidance of Qi Changlong.
As soon as they entered, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
As soon as Qi Changlong led the wind and smiled, they entered a room and sat down, and said directly: "You are so bold, do you know the danger of the dark forest?"
"I don't know, I was about to ask Qi Changlong to talk about it. Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly.
"Okay, then I'll talk about it, so as to break your mind. Qi Changlong stroked his beard and said slowly: " Not to mention the environment in the dark forest, just the number of demonic beasts inside, there are a lot of them, when we hunted the dark two-headed dragon, we were besieged by several ninth-level demonic beasts, caught off guard, the whole army was defeated, if it wasn't for my life, otherwise, I would have died there a long time ago, your four friends, young, a body of infinite potential, if you enter it, if there is an accident, wouldn't it harm them, I know that you are very strong, a body of strength far above me, how can you protect them? and ......" Qi Changlong explained all kinds of matters in detail.
After finishing speaking, seeing a few people who were still pondering, Qi Changlong said: "You already know the specific situation, and it's too late to quit now." β
Before the words fell, I heard Ida say: "Thank you Qi Changlong for your kindness, but I have made up my mind, and I am willing to go to the Dark Forest with the boss to get the magic core of the Dark Two-Headed Dragon, please don't stop it." β
As soon as he heard this, a trace of anger flashed on Qi Changlong's face, and when he saw Sixiao's firm eyes, he was even more irritable, and said, "Okay, okay, if you want to die, I won't stop you, let you go." With that, he waved his hand and told them to leave.
"Let's go. Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly, and walked towards the door with Sixiao, as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, he saw Feng Xiaotian turn around and said to Qi Changlong: "What, Qi Changlong didn't go to see those old friends of yours?"
"What did you say?" Qi Changlong shook his hand and stood up, looking excited.
......
In a palace shrouded in darkness, a figure sat in a chair, dressed in black, and here, it looked a little blurry, and when you looked closely, not far from it, there was a person kneeling on the ground, talking something.
When I got a little closer, I heard the man kneeling on the ground say, "National Teacher, this is all the information about Feng Xiaotian." β
The man sitting in the chair nodded and said, "Well, I know, you can step down." β
"Yes. The man kneeling on the ground answered, and as soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
"Hey. The man sitting in the middle sighed, and then there was a long silence, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?
"Yes, there is a big problem, I am afraid that there are not many good words between you and me. The man sighed.
"Master, what do you mean by this, is that Feng Xiaotian really the kind of person you are talking about? The voice said, a little incredulous.
"Mori Fujiyama, nothing is impossible, I'm sure. The man said helplessly.
"Then master, what should we do," seemed to be affected by the man in the seat, and Fujiyama Mori's originally confident words were also a little dazed.
"What do you do? hehe, what do you say?" the man in the seat laughed.
