Shen Yan looked at the scimitar in the bearded hand and spoke in a low voice as a try.
"In ancient times, among the eight Khitan tribes, the Yelu tribe used scimitars..."
Sure enough, his voice became softer, and although the waves were still rolling, they were very different from the tornado at the beginning.
The bearded man seemed to be a great sailor. Although he was in a panic, he controlled the boat very well. With the rise and fall of the waves, he was a drop in the ocean.
Depending on the situation, there is no need to worry about the beard at the moment.
Shen Yan's voice began to fluctuate loudly or softly, trying.
This sea shouldn't be a real sea, but his voice caused such a huge phenomenon.
It should be the same as the bronze door behind you that can be passed through with your hands. It is an illusion, but it is so real that people can hardly distinguish it.
"The Yelu tribe is good at nomadic herding, and everyone is a brave and capable soldier. They use felt tents as camps and are equipped with scimitars to fight. They established a powerful country in the north, and the country was named "Liao"..."
In known history, there have been several very special eras in the Central Plains where power structures were established by ethnic minorities, such as the "Liao" established by the Khitan people.
The Liao Dynasty fought with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was weak at that time. Even though there were famous generals like Yang Ye who had the ambition to serve the country with loyalty, they still could not resist the corruption of the court. All loyal and loyal soldiers died on the battlefield, and the female generals of the Yang family were even more powerful than men.
A hero in troubled times, but the dynasty was so corrupt that it was difficult to recover. The Song Dynasty was not destroyed by the Liao Dynasty, but it was because of the rise of the Jurchen tribe that the "Jin Dynasty" came into being. The Jin Dynasty fought with the Liao Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty fought with the Song Dynasty, creating chaos.
When Shen Yan talked about history, he had an unstoppable momentum. The Khitan scimitar, as a conventional weapon of the Liao soldiers, has many unknown stories.
Under the crazy rolling of the waves, Big Beard has never felt that life is so fragile. It seems that if the sound in his ears is just a little louder, he will be buried in the sea immediately, and the boat under him will fall apart in just an instant.
The thunder in my ears kept roaring, sometimes louder and sometimes softer.
Listening to that voice, he seemed to understand something, but he seemed to understand nothing at all. It was just like the mysterious, weird, legendary whispers of God that he heard when his spirit was infected.
Shen Yan was talking enthusiastically when his head suddenly swelled.
The sea began to return to calm, and the bearded boat in the middle of the sea began to return. The people on the boat turned into expressionless "portraits", standing among a group of "portraits", becoming one of them.
Shen Yan's eyes darkened.
When I saw things clearly again, I was already on the bed in the warehouse again.
The power of the soul seemed to be exhausted, so he retreated from it?
The door of the old box in my hand has been closed.
Shen Yan opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.
It's not like a mental infection, let's call it a hallucination. Every move of the bearded man, and even the expression on his face, are a little too real.
Shen Yan looked at the old box. Was it because he opened the door on the box that he triggered the illusion just now?
What is the relationship between this box and the giant ruins on the mountain?
Perhaps, only those diaries can hold some clues.
Shen Yan thought so, but felt something was wrong.
Zhao Kuo also opened this box and gave it to him after checking it.
Why didn't Zhao Kuo trigger such an illusion?
What are its triggering conditions?
Shen Yan sighed. If he wanted to try again, he would at least have to wait for him to sleep and regain his soul power.
Meeting the unknown in this world does not seem completely unexplainable.
He carefully put the old box into the medicine box at the bedside. After thinking about it, he put the medicine box at the end of the bed. Things that could cause mysterious events might have some unknown danger.
After putting it away, Shen Yan looked at the sky outside the window. It seemed that not long had passed.
The time in the illusion and the time in reality seem to be 1:1.
Then he quickly got out of bed, and using the light of the kerosene lamp on the window sill, he touched towards Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, the night talk in the warehouse has begun."
Zhao Kuo thought to himself, it’s like being a thief!
He said "Yeah" to indicate that he was not asleep.
Shen Yan quickly asked: "Is there any problem with the copper box you gave me today?"
Zhao Kuo said "hmm" again: "Just an ordinary box."
Lazy, with a sleepy big dog.
Shen Yan couldn't let the other person fall asleep. A person who had just experienced the unknown needed someone to chat with him, even if it was just meaningless things.
Shen Yan shook Zhao Kuo's huge body and said: "I have already experienced a revelation ceremony, or an extraordinary revelation ceremony. If I can survive in this situation, am I already a powerful mercenary? "
Zhao Kuo snorted, tut, the shaking was quite comfortable, and with such strength, he replied: "...it's nothing."
Shen Yan was a little unconvinced. He only survived a narrow escape, so why was he nothing? Even if he's not a powerful mercenary, he's still considered entry-level, right?
Zhao Kuo: "The prerequisite for becoming a mercenary is that you must be a professional."
"There are more than three hundred professions of mercenaries, and each profession has nine prologues."
"For example, Jiang Yu, his profession is the Sentinel in the ninth prologue. Through hard work, he reached the eighth prologue of the Sentinel series, The Wind Listener."
"In the same sequence, from ninth to first, the stronger you go, the stronger you go."
"But later Jiang Yu experienced a supernatural revelation ceremony, which left sequelae, and his career sequence also changed accordingly."
Shen Yan was a little confused after hearing this. There are more than 300 professions, and each profession has nine chapters. There are more than 2,700 professional titles.
The mercenary system was more complicated than he thought.
Shen Yan became interested, found the topic, and asked: "What is Jiang Yu's occupation now?"
Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment and said: "Chapter 9, The Desire Demon, also known as the Desire Witch."
"Jiang Yu has sequelae, so people who are familiar with his sequelae can easily guess his occupation."
"However, don't tell anyone about your mercenary profession easily to avoid being targeted by your opponents."
Shen Yan thought to himself, so Zhao Kuo said he was nothing, not because he looked down on him, but because he was nothing in the first place.
Zhao Kuo said: "Your soul power has now reached the requirements to become a professional in Chapter 9. You can consider choosing a profession and officially become a mercenary."
"Normally speaking, once you make a choice, you cannot change it. You can only be promoted in the same prologue. Unless you suffer an accident like Jiang Yu, and even the body structure has changed, there is the possibility of making a new choice."
The prologue of a career that cannot be changed, Shen Yan thought to himself, must be carefully considered.
But he didn't even know which of the more than 300 mercenary professions there were, let alone the nine advancements in each sequence. He couldn't help but ask: "Sentinel, Desire Demon, Wandering Poet, Psychic Master, Corpse Whisperer, these... Are they all mercenaries?"
Zhao Kuo nodded: "To be precise, they are all professional titles from Chapter 9."
"For example, the legendary ranger Xiao Lingchen. Ranger is a series and is also the professional title of the ninth prologue of this series. But as a legendary mercenary, Xiao Lingchen has at least reached the third prologue."
"Due to confidentiality reasons, only a few people know the title of the third prologue of the ranger series."
"So, everyone is still calling Xiao Lingchen with the starting title of "Ranger" in Chapter 9, but they just add the word "legend" in front of "Ranger"."
Zhao Kuo's answer made Shen Yan have more doubts.
Shen Yan: "Then which career is more suitable for me to choose?"
With more than 300 occupations, there is always something suitable for you.
Zhao Kuo: "Becoming a professional requires a specific ceremony. Among mercenaries, this ceremony has a fixed name, called the Apocalypse Ceremony."
Apocalypse, unlocking the most mysterious power of human beings, has a very appropriate name.
Shen Yan also learned about another ritual besides the three basic mercenary rituals.
Zhao Kuo: "The apocalypse ceremony in each prologue is different. For example, the apocalypse ceremony of the lustful demon. Jiang Yu asked Ji Zhuo to help. I heard about the process, um..."
It seems inappropriate to talk about this process in the middle of the night.
Zhao Kuo changed his words: "Each mercenary group has mastered a small part of the prologue of the Apocalypse Ceremony. The mercenaries can exchange their contributions in the mercenary group. This is why mercenaries basically choose a mercenary group to join. ."
"But while redeeming it, you must take your soul as an oath and not leak any information about the apocalypse ceremony you received."
This is actually the basis for ensuring that the mercenary group remains strong, and it is also the basis for ensuring that the mercenaries serve the mercenary group.
The number of prologues a mercenary group masters, and the higher the prologues it masters, is a fatal temptation for some people.
Therefore, no leakage is allowed, even members of the same mercenary group are not allowed to leak to each other and trade privately.
Taking the soul as an oath, once violated, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The Tiger Leopard Mercenary Group founded by Zhao Kuo is now in a very embarrassing situation and does not have any prologue.
Nor can they violate the soul oath and use the prologue they originally obtained from the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group.
Zhao Kuo had half of the blood of the wise men of Huangcheng, so he had a way to get the prologue of Huangcheng, but Zhao Kuo took one look at Shen Yan's small body and realized that the prologue that Huangcheng had mastered was not suitable for Shen Yan.
"Some wandering mercenaries have accidentally obtained some of the Apocalypse Ritual from Chapter 9, and they are also traded on the black market."
"But there is a hidden danger in these black market apocalyptic rituals. There is no follow-up promotion method, and many people are trapped in the ninth prologue and cannot make progress."
Shen Yan was depressed.
Where would he get a career prologue with a complete apocalyptic ritual?
Considering the follow-up development, we definitely can’t just go to the black market and just buy Chapter 9 and be done with it.
Zhao Kuo thought for a while: "I can help you choose the prologue of Deserted City."
However, Shen Yan will probably become a muscular man in the future.
When Zhao Kuo thought of that scene, the corner of his mouth twitched for some reason.
He continued: "If it's just the most suitable profession, I recommend the psychic or the corpse whisperer."
"I heard that you heard the sound of the corpse in the house through the door today, and you could clearly see the form of the ghost."
"Even the Eldar tribe did not have such a strong inspiration before becoming a psychic or a corpse whisperer."
This is a person's talent.
Zhao Kuo: "Jiang Yu originally reached the eighth prologue of the Sentinel series as Listener to the Wind. Even after suffering sequelae, he can still complete the prologue of the Sentinel series, and based on his soul power, he will soon be promoted to the seventh chapter. prologue, but he still chose to start over with the lust demon in the ninth prologue.”
Shen Yan knew what Zhao Kuo meant. Jiang Yu could give up his previous efforts and start over because of his talent, and Shen Yan could at least choose the prologue corresponding to his talent without taking any detours. This was already a blessing.
In fact, not only Shen Yan, but also the entire members of the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group are facing the same problem, and there is no corresponding next chapter.
They used to be members of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. After leaving the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, they will definitely not be able to exchange for those controlled by the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group.
Zhao Kuo said: "There is another advantage to choosing Psychic or Corpse Whisperer. We are close to the Emerald Forest, and the two series owned by the Spirit Tribe are as complete as at least the sixth prologue. If we can get it from them Getting the corresponding prologue online will save you a lot of trouble."
Zhao Kuo continued: "Among the psychics and corpse speakers, I recommend the corpse speakers."
"Many of those long-ago souls have turned into nothingness in the sunlight, but corpses are different. Some ancient corpses can always be found in the ruins, with an ancient aberration. The sequence of the corpse whisperer is in the eighth prologue. Then you will have very good combat power.”
"In this sequence, the title of the ninth prologue is Corpse Whisperer. Understanding the language of corpses may not seem very useful, but in the wild and in the adventure of ruins, it can play a great role."
"The title of the eighth prologue of the Corpse Whisperer series is corpse chaser."
It is already very good to have good combat power in the eighth prologue. For example, in the prologue of the Wandering Poet, if you want to have combat power, your beard will have to wait until it turns white.
Shen Yan thought to himself, corpse chaser? No wonder you shouldn't tell others about a mercenary's profession easily. The professional title actually symbolizes part of the mercenary's ability, which can be easily seen through by others.
Shen Yan listened carefully.
He naturally understands the importance of talent, but the job title in this prologue is so eerie.
In the past, when he excavated ancient tombs and archaeological relics, he often dealt with corpses. Unexpectedly, he continued to deal with corpses now.
Shen Yan thought to himself that as long as it wasn't that kind of rotting corpse, he could accept it.
There was a lot of information today, Shen Yan lay on the bed and slowly digested it.
Even if he doesn't choose a psychic or a corpse whisperer, he will actually face the same problem. He has to find a way to get the corresponding prologue. The people of the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group cannot use what they know because of their oath.
Worry, although the Spirit Clan are close together, it seems difficult to deal with them. How can we exchange with each other to get what we want?
At this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly remembered something and wondered whether he should tell Shen Yan that he heard that the mercenary in the prologue of Corpse Whisperer liked corpses more than men. He didn't know whether this rumor was true or false.
…
I don't know how long it took before Shen Yan fell asleep.
Perhaps because opening the ancient box consumed too much soul power, Shen Yan slept until very late.
When I woke up, it was bright.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard Bamboo running back crying.
Shen Yan stepped forward: "What's wrong?"
Sunzi said: "Some people called me a motherless child and said I was a pathetic person."
Shen Yan thought to himself, who is this? He has such a mean mouth. Even though he is young, some things are like scars in his heart, which have been imprinted there since he was a child.
Bamboo shoot: "I want to find Jiang Yu and ask him to rip off his head and throw it into the sewer."
Jiang Yu happened to not go out today, waiting to go with Dong Da to repair the house that was damaged yesterday.
Jiang Yu came over: "I'll vent my anger on you and scratch his balls."
Bamboo shoot: "She's an aunt."
Jiang Yu: "Squeeze all her breasts..."
Shen Yan quickly picked up the bamboo shoots and walked outside: "I'll help you reason."
He somehow knew that such a cute child like Sunzi would sometimes make shocking remarks, either breaking someone's neck or picking off someone's head. This was exactly what he was doing.
Zhao Kuo, who was about to go out, also glanced at Shen Yan who was going to "reason with people" and couldn't help but shake his head. In a city of mercenaries, big fists are the only way to go.
Shen Yan asked Sun Zi to show him the way. He was originally going to find the arrogant aunt, but halfway there, he froze on the spot.
In front of him, a bearded man was strutting past him.
Behind the bearded man followed a Khitan scimitar soldier.
Shen Yan: "..."
Hiss, isn't this the bearded man who appeared in the fantasy last night?
Shen Yan would definitely not admit his mistake. This man looked so distinctive. He was tall and thick, with a rosy nose, especially the big beard on his face. He was easy to identify.
Shen Yan was really confused. He actually saw the person who appeared in the fantasy in reality.
