In fact, the number of female mercenaries is not that embarrassing. The practice of inner breath makes up for the lack of women in strength and agility, and their better patience and relatively delicate character allow them to gain meditation and element manipulation in the magic field. The advantages.
The simplest example is that in Ye Ye College, the number of male and female students is basically the same.
But that's in terms of advanced martial arts. According to the standard level of the Yue Yi Sage, 80% of the mercenaries in this world are between White Level 4 to Level 7. This level allows them to rely on the advantage of grouping to complete most of the tasks. Task.
Don't think that this level is very low. After all, the average level of the elite regular army is only level seven, and even the elite army of the Yin tribe has not crossed the threshold of the territory.
For this kind of warrior, although there is no army discipline and battle formation to make up for it, relatively, better agility and strength combined with rich experience in fighting the enemy, in fact, the same level of fighting soldiers is not the opponent of mercenaries.
Only when the level reaches the green level, women can compete with men on equal terms with the assistance of fighting spirit.
But in the mercenary hall of Lanyin City, where the mercenary industry is developed and everyone can come and find a pot of gold, there are really very few warriors above the green rank.
Therefore, Ziquan and Lan Che's presence in the mercenary hall became extremely conspicuous.
It was so obvious that none of the vulgar mercenaries dared to touch them, they even automatically squeezed the people around them to give them a foot of space.
Due to various aesthetic needs, Lanche Ziquan did not wear the usual mercenary attire. Sturdy heavy riding boots can provide good foot defense, and coarse cloth leggings can improve agility and serve as emergency bandages. Thick and durable The leather pants perform well in tumbling friction. The chain mail vest with copper buttons can provide the main defense capability. The linen vest is breathable and wear-resistant. Top it with a plush black bear skin jacket, and a standard mercenary is ready. Walked out.
The reason why this set of equipment is popular is mainly due to its great cost-effectiveness, good defense and high mobility. Only the showy bearskin jacket requires a lot of money.
But who knows whether your black leather jacket is made of ferocious black bears in the northern mountains or ordinary rabbit fur?
But these are not within the scope of the two girls' considerations.
Ziquan wears the badge of a 19th-level magic swordsman. The expensive adamantine rapier is the standard issue of the Snow Burial Society. One sword is enough to buy ten mercenary outfits, so she is wearing purple trim at this time. The name of the Demon Swordsman is almost written on the clothes.
But if there is no writing on the clothes, it does not mean that they are not worn. The fifth-level adventurer medal with two stars on a silver background, the Great Demon Swordsman badge with purple inlay and gold, plus the nineteenth-level standard medal with five stars on a red background, so It hung on the tall chest of this girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even though this girl had dazzling short lavender hair, her beautiful and lovely appearance made many people feel a little greedy.
But as soon as the flame of desire rises, it will be mercilessly extinguished by the ice water of reason.
This is a teenage genius demon swordsman in the Earth Realm. There are only a handful of people in the world with the strength of such a genius. No matter which one destroys him, he does not need to lower his head to look at it.
Lan Che was wearing a smooth and smooth white magician's robe, which was the standard outfit for a light mage. However, she was small, so she looked a bit funny under the large robe. She had light brown playful twin ponytails and cat eyes. Her green eyes shone with understanding and gentleness. But the more this happened, the less no one dared to try against her. After all, she was holding a crystal ball in her right hand. People who don’t know magicians may not understand, but the small crystal ball is connected to a half-arm-long wand. This is one of the skills of a skilled magician. As long as a battle is initiated, the wand hidden in the cuff will slide to In the palm of your hand, you can release various powerful magics at any time.
On the chest of the mage's robe is the great magician's badge made of pure silver, and then there is the seventeenth-level badge with three stars on a red background. Of course, if someone is lucky enough to open the collar of her mage's robe, revealing the flower woven with gold thread. The dripping blood orchid, then the entire mercenary hall might be full of people kneeling on the floor.
This is the noble surnamed Lan.
But that's not all, at least not all of them give up a foot for them.
A long and narrow silver blade of grass is printed on top of their badges. They have not graduated, so they do not have the badge of Ye Ye College, but this blade of grass is the symbol of current students.
It goes without saying that Ye Ye College's transcendent status on the mainland goes without saying, but since this is the mainland of the Lanye Empire, Ye Ye College has an extra meaning.
The spirit of the country.
So for these two girl mercenaries who seemed to not belong here at all, everyone here, from all walks of life, loyal and evil, good and evil, their attitude toward them was not only fear, but also respect.
But because he was not from the same world at all, no one came up to talk to him.
But at this time, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Ziquan's eyes couldn't help but leave the task bar and looked into the depths of the hall.
The door there, which was originally closed, was quietly opened. A lean man in black slowly walked out from behind the door, and the hall was silent because of him.
As he walked forward, without any movement or words, someone automatically made way for him, just like the tide that parted on its own.
Just like that, he came to the task board, tore off a scrapped task notice, reached out and pasted a new one.
Ziquan looked at the man with the sword mark on his face. There were no marks on his black clothes, but that didn't mean he was not in danger.
On the contrary, he made Ziquan truly feel the existence of danger.
At this moment, he finished posting the notice, turned to look at Ziquan, and grinned.
It wasn't a smile, nor a chuckle, nor a wild laugh. He turned his head without any warning, and gave Zi Quan a big smile without any concealment, showing his white teeth. No malice could be seen, but he couldn't feel it. bona fide.
"What a college student." He said slowly.
"Burning Snow? Feixin? Autonomy?" he asked.
"Feiyu Clan Chief Ziquan." Ziquan replied: "Senior?"
"Abandoned disciple." He said slowly with a nostalgic look: "Do the mission, Captain Feiyu, you will like it."
Ziquan couldn't help but look at the mission notice he had newly posted.
“Frost maple grass.
The city lord was feeling unwell. A good doctor diagnosed him and prescribed a medicine. He searched the treasury and found that there was a shortage of frost maple grass.
If anyone is interested in obtaining this medicine for the city lord, he will offer fifteen pieces of golden leaf grass and agree to a request within his ability.
Time limit: within three days. "
Frost maple grass, a water elixir, is a fourth-grade top grade. Although it is precious, it is not priceless. There are certain reserves in the internal treasury of Ye Ye College and the three student societies, but the time it takes to go back and forth exceeds three days. the term.
Ziquan thought for a moment and looked up at the man in black: "May I ask your name? Where is the news about frost maple grass nearby?"
"I have long forgotten my name. I only have the code name Black Crow." The man in black shook his head and said, then he couldn't help but smile and looked at Ziquan: "There is some news about Frost Maple Grass."
As he said this, he skillfully rubbed the pads of his middle index finger with his thumb.
Ziquan's head suddenly got big.
This guy couldn't be from the Fei Xin Gym, right? Why did his moral integrity fall so quickly?
I'm afraid that the abandonment of the academy is also a lie. It's just a guy who has had all his points deducted and has not graduated normally.
Thinking like this, almost breaking down, but the strength of the other party's Xuanjie cannot be faked. This is teasing, right? It's naked teasing, right?
However, a plain hand had already been stretched out. Lan Che stretched out his palm flatly and said with a gentle smile: "Here."
There was a shining golden leaf grass in her hand.
"This one?" Black Crow Fang noticed this guy who had been hiding under Ziquan's aura.
"No need to look for it." Lan Che smiled.
Correcting the code, Black Crow stretched out his hand as if to take the golden leaf grass, but only used his ring finger to lightly scratch Lan Che's smooth and soft palm twice, which made the good-tempered Ah Che raise his eyebrows: "Sure enough, it is. The scum of the Scarlet Heart Gym."
Black Crow smiled and retracted his hand. The mean temperament finally disappeared: "I just saw you two remembering that time."
Fei Xin Gym has always advocated advanced teasing techniques that go from point to point, with words that are exhaustive and meaning endless, so it has the reputation of being a solitary person.
But at this time, Black Crow became serious: "Maple Leaf Valley has always been rich in medicinal materials, and frost maple grass is one of its specialties. According to this place, it is only a hundred miles away."
Ziquan was silent, knowing that there must be something to come.
"Four and a half years ago, magical beasts began to appear in Maple Leaf Valley. They appeared sporadically at first, and then became more and more serious, until they finally gave up there, and the frost maple grass has since lost its output."
"Why?" Ziquan asked.
"No one knows. There are rumors that there is a space crack there, but after all, it is just a rumor. No one has actually seen it. However, the origin of frost maple grass is relatively close to the inside, so the mission has a certain degree of danger."
"Space cracks?" Ziquan pondered: "Are there any heavenly monsters?"
"Black Crow doesn't know the details, but Black Crow does know someone. She often goes there to collect herbs. It is said that she knows the terrain very well. If you two are interested, you can ask her."
"Okay." Ziquan nodded.
"I'll make a decision after asking."
With Ziquan's agreement, the two of them followed the black crow and left the mercenary hall, walked through the door into the dark corridor inside the mercenary guild, until after several turns, they finally stopped outside a door. .
"The child is inside, and she is also the guide designated by the city lord."
"I won't go in now."
Ziquan Lanche opened the door and walked in, only to see a girl wearing a green coarse shorts under the light, wrapping her head with a white scarf, sitting there quietly with her head lowered.
"Excuse me……"
Just as Ziquan opened his mouth, he saw the girl slowly raising her head.
It turned out to be a very beautiful girl's face, but her skin was a little dark and rough due to exposure to wind and sun, but her big eyes were like blue gems, her nose and mouth were slender, and her smile was full of smiles, which made people like her just by looking at her.
"Two mercenaries, slaves in paper clothes."
…
…
Ge Sheng stared intently at the girl in front of him who was curled up on a soft cushion and sleeping with her knees in her arms.
She didn't need to rest, and she certainly didn't need to be jolted in the carriage, but Ge Sheng needed it, so she stayed here obediently.
So at this moment, the slender red eyelashes drooped to cover the fiery red eyes that were as clear as crystal in the past, and cast sparse shadows on the smooth white jade cheeks.
Just like a stone pool under the autumn moon, the moonlight passes through the spring water and leaves sparse light shadows on the bottom of the pool.
No matter how many times I have seen it, this girl always gives people an extremely quiet and unreal beauty.
You will have no reason to believe that she will disappear in front of you for no reason at any moment, and you will never see her again.
Before that, though.
really beautiful.
The red-haired girl did not put on her large black cloak, so her soft short hair was flowing like willow silk. She rested her head on her lap while she slept on the soft couch of the carriage.
Mercenary mission - escorting the group.
To be precise, he was escorting an unknown big shot to Yanshi City.
Here again I have to express my feelings about the usefulness of Ye Ye Academy’s signboard.
Ge Sheng is just a young boy who is less than fourteen years old, but after showing his strength in dual cultivation at the fifteenth level, especially after showing the certificate from Ye Ye College, he easily obtained this escort without even showing His Highness the face. Task, reward ten golden leaves.
The distance from Qiuwu County to Yanshi County is not short, but escorting nobles is far easier than escorting goods. The most important thing is that this escort is a coordinated escort, and ten golden leaf grasses seem to be of high quality and low price.
But if they knew that the little magician following them, covering his face with a cloak, was the treasure of Ye Ye College, perhaps the price could easily be increased tenfold.
Ge Sheng was thinking when he saw the girl in front of him quietly opening her eyes. Just as he was about to ask, he heard her speaking calmly:
"somebody is coming."
Ge Sheng's own spiritual awareness did not detect any movements from outsiders, but the woman in front of him was worthy of unconditional trust.
"How far is it?"
"Thirty-five hundred feet." The girl's voice was uneventful.
"how many people?"
"One hundred and forty-one rides."
Ge Sheng was silent.
The sponsor of this mission was extremely wealthy and had recruited four mercenary groups with excellent reputations and strength. The number of escorts alone reached 200.
Then the cargo to be escorted was just a carriage belonging to a nobleman, which made people wonder about the identity of this nobleman.
But because of this, a small force with no more than 141 cavalry dared to take advantage of this well-equipped escort team. Three reasons are worth thinking about.
This is no ordinary band of thieves.
With this in mind, he warned His Highness the Third Prince and opened the car curtain with his right hand.
This was a long motorcade, with his and His Highness the Third Prince's carriages and the nobles' belongings at the bottom, somewhat out of the desire to protect student Ye Ye. Looking further ahead, there is this noble man's simple carriage slowly moving forward.
Speaking of nobles, Ge Sheng has never seen the so-called nobles in such a long time, because even when the convoy stopped to camp and rest, he never got out of the car, and he didn't even have to send food. If he hadn't sometimes seen the leader respectfully asking questions outside the carriage, When I asked, it was almost doubtful that there was an empty car inside.
As for the front, most of the real elites are concentrated there, making it easier to break out when encountering the enemy.
As for myself, the euphemistic name of Queen of the Palace actually means protection, and more value lies in the signboard of Ye Ye Academy.
But at this time, if you want to make an announcement, you must rush forward to find the leader of this escort.
Thinking like this, Ge Sheng had already stepped onto the carriage shaft.
There was a slight ripple in the air, and it was his movement that stirred up the wind.
Before the sound of wind dissipated, Ge Sheng's body took off, rising four feet like a green onion on dry land.
This is pure physical fitness. A physique tempered by thousands of tribulations cannot be underestimated. However, no one has paid attention to this young man at this time. Ge Sheng has already casually moved his right hand in the air.
He has never used the floating technique, because it is too slow for him. The wind is wrapped around his fingers, and when he pulls it out, it is like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, and his whole body gallops forward in an instant, leaving a trail of white air behind. Turbulence.
At this time, someone noticed someone flying above, and they couldn't help but make a slight noise. Some even picked up a crossbow and wanted to shoot the incoming person with just one command.
At this time, Ge Sheng had arrived above the nobleman's carriage. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel that his life and death were locked.
But it was only for that moment that he did not stay in the air. He moved his left hand again, purely using the power of the wind as the thrust to move forward, soaring in the air like a wild goose, relying on the flexibility of his body to control balance. Such a miraculous performance. There are few people in the world, but he is at ease.
In just two moves, he moved from the rear of the motorcade to the front of the motorcade.
The leader this time, Ge Zhe, had already seen the boy. He raised his hand to stop the bow and arrow raised by the follower, and watched him land smoothly in front of him, with a little hostility: "Sheng, why are you like this?"
Ge Sheng stood in front of the convoy, and his behavior just now did not make his breathing disordered at all.
"Enemy attack."
The young man whispered quietly.
