Mercenaries Under the Sky

Fairy Forest (also known as Elven Forest) is the most mysterious place in the world.

The whole fairy forest covers an area of ​​about 150 million mu-this is just an external estimate. It is said that there are huge lakes and bottomless canyons in the fairy forest. Therefore, the actual territory area should be estimated to be larger.

From the geographical point of view, although the Goblin Forest is not in the center of the Eminor continent, it has a strategic significance in the mainland's offensive and defensive warfare.

The fairy forest is located in the lower right corner of the mainland. Her northern part is in the southern part of the Huayu Plain, the richest territory of the Holy See; the western part is bordered by the enclave of the Amy Empire in the Holy See, Tongyun Pass (also known as the Holy Snow Mountain Defense Area); the southwest is taller than the eastern foot of the Holy Snow Mountain. The cedar zone is tightly bitten together; the southern part of the forest is located on the edge of a marsh rich in grass and coal in the mercenary empire; to the east is the picturesque quiet ocean. On the beach at the border between the fairy forest and the sea, there are scattered small villages with mixed humans and elves. They are connected to the three countries of the desert empire, mercenary empire, and holy vatican through sea boats; it must be mentioned that these villages formed The small harbour is a rest harbour that must pass through to reach the magician's holy land, Azure Island.

Therefore, the fairy forest has the reputation of "three emerald feathers lock the three kingdoms, and the light blue silk is connected to Cham Island".

The fairy forest has a second name-the magic forest. The reason why there is such a name is that in the legend, the fairy forest is created by a great sage called the magical emperor. Of course, it turns out that this is just a rumor that was deliberately released from the ancient civilization in the ancient times.

Whether it is the first name or the second name, the name and meaning have another layer of meaning: this vast jungle has too many mysterious places. So far, no non-elven wisdom species can live out of the fairy forest, let alone retreat.

According to the records circulated in the manuscripts of the magician, the reason why the fairy forest is so mysterious that even a strong man such as a sacred dragon must retreat from Sanshe, the key lies in the "three harmony" of the fairy forest, which is the favorite among human kings. Said: the time, the geographical position, the harmony of people.

In the fairy forest, there is the most mysterious begging tower in the world-the wooden begging tower. Other departments of magic, whether it is ice, water, wind, earth, fire, or sacred, have been explored by human magicians, and even human great magicians have successfully broken out of the begging tower to become magic. tutor. The wooden begging tower and the legendary dark begging tower did not leave any human footprint in the records. In fact, most of the magical literature does not even admit that there are dark beggars and wooden beggars.

The wood begging tower is guarded by wood-based upper elves. Similarly, the upper elves are also silently guarding the outer fairy forest. This is the time.

In the fairy forest, each tree has a history of tens of thousands of years. Among them, the legendary golden tree is the same age as the heavens and the earth. These towering trees are all slowly distributing wood-based magic elves. Fairy Forest is an infinite field of wood magic. This is geographically advantageous.

Among all the races, the most strange is the elven race. The biggest feature of this race is that it can communicate with the world, forests, and animals. In the fairy forest, hundreds of thousands of forest elves are constantly brewing and nurturing their homeland. Use your body and heart to form the pulse of the forest beating. This is Renhe.

In such a huge wood magic field born naturally, an elf can release one level of wood magic, and the effect directly catches the third level magic released by other magicians.

As guardians of the fairy forest, noble, peaceful, and kind elves do not want anyone to disturb their peaceful life. Moreover, in the rumors, the elf king, the owner of the fairy forest, guards the biggest secret in the world, which is the best reason why elves refuse all visitors.

－－Shan Hai Jing. Fairy Forest ※※※

Wherever there are mercenaries, there will be an underground mercenary guild.

The so-called underground mercenary guild is a relatively complicated or even difficult to understand concept. Many humans, dwarves, and mad warriors have taken over the tasks of the underground guild for more than 20 years, and have not really understood the concept of the underground guild. Ha ha, so, often the old mercenaries of underground guilds said sharply that people with an IQ of less than 120 would not understand what the underground mercenary guild really means.

The birth of the underground mercenary guild has a long history-some people say that from the day the mercenary was born, the germ of the underground guild began to appear. According to this statement, it can be traced back to the ancient Warring States period at least 55,000 years ago.

There was only one reason for the formation of the underground guild in the beginning: there are many employers of mercenaries, and the needs of these employers are even more strange. Among them, certain tasks are invisible, and the employers who issue these tasks are even more invisible. For example, assassination of a king or noble, such as theft of an artifact, such as the slaughter of a village that disobeys the order ... In short, these things must be secretly traded, and the mercenaries who accept the mission are required to die and cannot tell the truth. This was very common during the Warring States Period of the Ancient Warring States.

The original purpose of the establishment of the underground mercenary guild was to allow these transactions to eventually proceed smoothly, and to ensure that the mercenaries who accepted the mission were not killed by the employer after completing the mission. In the subsequent development, the functions of the underground mercenary guild have been enriched. At least three activities are currently carried out in the underground guild: 1. Some mercenaries have been unable to rank among the large mercenary regiments due to various reasons. The strength or mercenary level is very high. Such mercenaries generally disdain and accept simple tasks, and can find more rewarding and challenging tasks in underground guilds.

It should be noted that these tasks are most likely to be black tasks, that is, tasks that will not be counted in the mercenary log even if they are completed perfectly, which results in the level of the mercenary not being able to rise. This will inevitably increase the mercenary's demand for underground guilds, forming a vicious circle.

2. In order to obtain higher benefits, some large mercenary groups usually set up permanent offices in the tree house bar. They often swept all the tasks that the mercenary group level can take, and then went to the underground guild again. Subcontract out at a slightly lower price. For them, even if the subcontracting is not successful, they will not lose a penny. Of course, in order to ensure the completion rate of the mission, before the deadline of the mission, they will send effective mercenaries to complete the mission.

3. The identity of some thieves (robbers) is black. They may carry several lives on their bodies. It is impossible to receive regular tasks. The need for underground guilds is self-evident.

Intriguingly, the address of the underground guild is often not far from the tree house bar, and there are three major guild organizations in the underground guild: the killer guild, the thief guild, and the gray guild. The gray guild is a guild composed of gray mercenaries relative to the mercenary guild. The only guarantee that the gray mercenaries can get in the guild is that if the mission cannot be paid or assassinated, the guild will start the guild Funds, issued a reward order of up to 100,000 gold coins; the Thieves ’Guild is exactly the same as the Thieves’ Guild in the Treehouse Bar. It is the only guild that exists on the ground and underground; the Killer ’s Guild is also the most mysterious among the three underground guilds. Yes, most of the members or employers in the guild do not show people in their true colors.

The magic calendar is in the summer and January of 5 years.

The northwest corner of the Fairy Forest is a gathering place of three continental roads, from the north to the sacred capital of the Holy See, Ulu, to the south to the Haiha mercenary imperial imperial capital, Brown Mountain, to the east to the east corner of the largest port city in the southeast of the mainland. On the mainland of Eminol, there are only four such three-road junctions on the mainland, and the degree of prosperity is self-evident.

On the roadside about 100 meters south of the tree house bar, there is a bar that is even larger than the tree house bar. Two signs are hung on each side of the door, and the left sign is a dagger with this barb. The sign on the right is a long sword pressed against the shield. Haven't approached yet, you can already hear the noise inside.

This is the famous "Fairy Flower" bar in the underground guild. The dagger with a hook is a standard of the Killer Guild, while the sword and shield are the standard of the Grey Mercenary Guild.

The reason why there is such a name is because the bar is too close to the Fairy Forest. People with more strength can even throw stones directly into the Fairy Forest-of course, only strength can't do it. You must have this courage. Annoying elves near the fairy forest is not a joke, it is said to be dead.

The reason why this bar is famous is that this location is called the "Golden Triangle" of the underground world, just right in the Amy Empire, Holy Holy See, Haiha Mercenary Empire, and Fairy Forest. All illegal things can be here With great fanfare.

Inside the Fairy Flower Bar, although it is daytime outside, the open room is quite dark. There are no open windows on the four walls of the bar-this was originally a military warehouse in Tongyunguan. Later, because of the military because of very small things Misunderstanding with a certain generation of fairy forest masters, Amy Empire was forced to abandon this warehouse, and even the entire barracks moved 500 meters northwest. Later, after several twists and turns, the homeless people gathered in this huge house were forcibly removed by an underground force, and finally sold to the Thieves Guild in a semi-legal and semi-illegal way into a bar with a special purpose. At the beginning of the construction of the house, there must be windows. However, with the expansion of the bar and the special requirements of the business, it has already been sealed. Even the current owner of the bar cannot accurately tell where the window was once.

The thick curtain of the bar was lifted with a sword handle, and several mercenary-like mermaids came in. Except for the few guests at the door who stared in disgust at the sunlight, even the waiters were lazy to handle them throughout the bar. Not to mention ordinary mercenaries, even if the territory ’s now nominal master, Chang Yun, the youngest general in the defense zone of the empire, came, the reaction in the bar would be the same.

Several of the mercenaries who just came in were obviously regulars here. Suddenly they entered the bar from the sun, and their eyes narrowed for a moment before they adapted. The curtain picker was a young man wearing a worn light knight's armor. After entering the door, he used to take two big steps forward, protecting his partner behind him with a wide chest and a large shield in his left hand; the partner who came in later was a middle-aged The magician, the blue robe is also quite worn, but the standard on the chest is the second-level magician. In the mercenary world, the magician itself is a minority group, and the second-level magician is already relatively rare. At this level, you can already use a lot of second- and third-level magic skills. In small-scale conflicts, as long as the cast is fast enough, it is more threatening than the two veteran warriors; behind the magician, there is a thin and thin man- ―It should be at least one taller than the average table. The hair is extremely messy, and there is a strong smell on the body. Several guests near the left noticed the young man immediately after smelling it, and subconsciously tightened his wallet; again A person in the back flashed into the bar with a lighter footstep than a small one. It seemed to disappear into the dim bar when the curtain fell. Only extremely caring people would notice a woman who was not tall at the moment. There seemed to be a long dagger in his waist. The last person to enter the door was an obvious warrior, carrying only dwarves on his shoulders who liked to use a warhammer, but it was impossible to look like a dwarf. It appeared to be a human under 20 years old, but he was old enough to enter the door. Afterwards, he seemed to turn his back half casually to protect the entire team. Teams with such a tacit understanding are extremely rare among the small mercenary groups active near Fairy Flower.

Wearing a knight's armor, he whispered "borrowing light, borrowing light" and walked to the bar inside the house with the partners behind him.

The bar table of the Fairy Flower is also the place where underground mercenaries take over tasks, and here are often full of various mercenaries. The middle-aged mage seems to be the head of this small group, leaning on the bar and handing over the tasks to the clerks inside, vaguely hear the gold coins rolling on the counter. The mage swept all the gold coins into his arms quietly, and then took the latest task catalog from the clerk, browsing through the dim light. The small man squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on the wallet of a table guest beside him; the young people in knight armor turned around habitually, and the back and the mage's back were faintly attached together, and they took the waiter and handed it over. A large glass of inferior beer, eyes are scattered in the bar.

Recently, the table was aimed at a few travellers by a small man, and it was obvious that there was no experience of long-distance travel. Under the large crowd, he could randomly draw out gold coins from the bulging money bag to make the small soldiers pay attention to the money. The peculiar luster of the purple gold coin was also shot in the bag, and the little man subconsciously licked his lips with his tongue. At the table next to them were a few masked men, who looked like a branch of the elven clan, and their torsoes were extremely slender. On the edge of the fairy forest, no one dared to lift their veil to verify which race they were. The next two tables were obviously mercenaries of different groups, with long swords and spikes laid out in a row. There are several tables farther away that are obviously organized mercenaries. Some people at each table look up from time to time to see if new tasks will suddenly be released here. Near the counter are a few mercenaries lying on the bar and drinking. From the clothing and the slight distance between each other, it can be seen that these mercenaries are not a mercenary group.

While the knight armor warrior was observing the bar staff, the bar curtain was opened again, and a young boy in white entered the bar. Everyone at the door raised their heads—whether in terms of temperament or dress, this young man should not appear in the underground mercenary guild. In a clean and surprising white stiff outfit, at the bottom of the foot is the dragon's inner leather short boots with excellent texture. This pair of boots may require an underground mercenary to sell in the fire for a year, the left hand of the teenager Hold an extremely rare spear behind his back. It looks very young, with straight nose and fair complexion, so handsome that he needs to be described as beautiful. If it is not a burly figure, quite a lot of people will mistakenly think of it as a young man dressed as a man. The young boy's long blond hair fluttered behind his back, which added infinite dignity. He tilted his head and saw the position of the bar, and immediately walked over.

The eyes of the knight armor warrior suddenly narrowed, and the right hand suddenly burst out with great strength to hold the long sword hilt. The mage behind him immediately noticed the strangeness of his partner, and turned to look at the young man in surprise.

The fair-haired teenager obviously also felt the thick murderousness, and looked at the young people who were no more than a few years older than him in surprise, but the pace did not stop.

"Villain, repay my brother's life!" In the roar, the knight armor warrior pulled out the knight's sword from his waist and stood up. The long sword is cut from the void-this is a typical knight's move in the duel, first tell the other party to launch an attack. The shield with a width of one hit the chest of the blond young man with dust.

The blond boy responded very quickly. At a glance, he saw that the long sword that was quickly attacked was a false move. The right foot stepped forward half a step. The left-handed spear rotated 270 degrees vertically in the palm of the hand. Picking out a straight and strong stabbing on the knight shield, the silver-white pure steel barrel was pressed into an arc by two opposing gravitational forces.

There was a cry of excitement around the two young men. The level of performance of the two young men was not low, especially the blond boy. The power of his left hand was so great that a spear could actually force the shield ’s impulse. Moreover, all the tricks of the spear rotation were all People have never seen it, and I have to admit that the spooky shot I needed to describe just now shocked the whole fairy flower.

Fighting is too common for the guests of Fairy Flower, how many people will not die on such an occasion? The guests on the few tables on the left quickly flashed to the side to avoid the pond fish, and the tables and chairs and glasses fell to the ground.

Several partners in the knight's armor didn't know why the soldier was suddenly so angry that he couldn't stop it in time, and it was not easy to rush to help.

The slender knight's blade pointed back and stuck against the inside of the shield. The sharp blade of the sword barely emitted any light and pierced the blonde's chest.

"Kill! Kill! Kill him!"

In such chaotic occasions as the Fairy Flower, all drinkers have an inexplicable hostility to the gorgeously dressed people. Even if the young knight armor is not a member of the gray guild, such a tidal wave will not be much less, many young warriors jump Screaming loudly on the chairs and tables, several excited berserkers have even exhaled the flames that are about to go crazy.

The middle-aged magician and several other partners frowned tightly, obviously not wanting such a conflict.

The ability of the blonde teenager to use the spear has reached an astonishing point. The tip of the spear is still on the shield. One hand suddenly burst out with greater power, the gun body is more curved, the left elbow is drooping, and the curved gun body draws a The semi-circle above 90 °, the long sword was heavily popped from the gun barrel.

All of this happened in an instant.

The defensive position of the blonde teenager was only maintained for this moment. The left hand of the gun was suddenly released. The gun body bounced back along the palm of the hand under the pressure of the other shield. When the gun body rebounded halfway, the blonde boy held the gun from the back with his right hand. , Rotating 360 degrees with the body as the axis, the silver gun emits an arc-shaped lightning in the bar-in the first 180 degrees, the gun was heavily pumped on the shield that had lost its strength and fluttered, The force emitted from the body as the axis is far beyond the knight's imagination. The runaway shield drives the body of the knight's armor to stagger forward. During the remaining 180 degrees of rotation, the sharp gunpoint of at least 40 centimeters is fierce. Cut to the knight's neck-ah? .

No one thought that the young man who was listed as a fine product in front of him had such a keen skill that he could use the weapon of the outside weapon in a fascinating way.

Just one shot, one shot, one loose, one grip, one spin, one bump, everything, the exquisite gun moves like a picture scroll, most warriors even exclaimed involuntarily: "Okay!"

Most mercenaries are quite familiar with the knight's standard lances or the infantry's halberds used in close combat. All the lances are in a "thorn" word, although a small number of infantry have used wolves in close combat. Swing and cut, after all, the power is much smaller. At the moment, the blonde boy used all the lances that people had never thought about before-and this silver lance with sharp edges on both sides of the gun tip even more than the big sword itself has not been seen by anyone here before.

Even so, most people did not expect that the victory and defeat will be no longer suspense in less than 10 seconds, so that the young teammates have no time to rescue, and even no time to say goodbye-such a sharp and violent cut Next, even if the soldier has soft armor on his neck, it will not play any role.

A silver electric light suddenly appeared again next to the bar counter. The two silver electric lights instantly intersected on the knight's armor without any sound of metal collision, and the two lights disappeared at the same time. Under the big gun of two meters and one long length, a flat silver sword sheath was pressed, and the silver sword had been pulled out half of the sword sheath.

If it weren't for this long flat sword, life and death would be only a fraction of a second.

"Oh?" The master of Yinjian made a hoarse voice that didn't match his back, and then apologized indifferently: "You didn't want to kill? That's why I was wrong. Sorry." On the back, if it wasn't for the lightning bolt just now, from the master's slow movement of the sword, most people would think it was an old man.

In the underground mercenary world, the strength of mercenaries is more important, whether it is a blond teenager or the master of the silver sword, the performance of the master of the silver sword is extremely amazing. The Great Sword can actually block the shocking Feihong's shot. What is even more surprising is that the master of the silver sword also carries another big sword that looks more quaint. If it is an ordinary mercenary, then these two swords should not be expected to be used, but only a long sword weighing more than 100 pounds. You will get tired.

The blonde teenager did n’t seem to believe that someone could block his spear in a flash, and Xiu eyes glanced at the person who had just produced the sword. It was just a back view. It might have been a white stiff outfit now that he could not see the true color, and both shoulders were damaged , Can't see black or gray without long hair. After a little stunned, the young boy returned to the armored youth: "Why do you want to attack me?" The voice is very sweet, and it seems that he has not been hostile to the young because of the attack just now.

"You ... you are an asshole. When you broke through the Morihaga Castle, more than 2,000 of our knights were killed by you! What about your murderous red sword? Come and kill me! Knight honor is with me! "This warrior really is a knight or once a knight.

"White, calm down!" The middle-aged mage pulled his partner hard.

Mori Flower City? Most people in the bar have not heard of the very ordinary town of the Hughes Empire. Jinfa teenager's eyes shone strangely, and he stayed for a moment and slowly said: "You have admitted the wrong person, I haven't heard of the city you said." After that, the spear was back on his back again.

"Boss, have a thirst-quenching beer." As he said, the noble head of the luxurious luxury blonde moved to the person who just shot. It is a pity that there is no empty seat next to that person, otherwise, it seems that the blonde teenager will definitely sit down.

"Your Excellency's Sword!" With the glass of wine, the young man stood behind the man and seemed to speak to himself, with a hint of hostility in his voice: "Who is yours?"

"You're welcome. It's your gun that I've never seen before." The hoarse voice murmured, and the guest raised his head and coded two empty rows of beer glasses on the counter in front of him. Perhaps it is an excess of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, dark skin, and dense beards from the left to the right cheek. It looks at least 35 years old to listen to the sound. Everyone who noticed this scene felt something faint on Master Dajian's face ... sad? exhausted?

"Oh, thank you for the compliment. Just looking at your back, I thought I saw an acquaintance." After the blonde teenager finished speaking, he casually found a place nearby and sat down.

"Then I can only say that you have also recognized the wrong person." In the dim light, the drinker once again raised the glass alone, and a large glass of beer was drunk, and the brown wine flowed along the mercenary's. The corners of my mouth are flowing down ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ It seems to the lonely drinker that nothing happened just now.

A clerk hurried out from the innermost part of the bar, holding the latest mission announcement in his hand. The announcement was just placed on the bar table, and almost everyone on the innermost table was gathered around-this is how the underground mercenary guild handover task Most tasks do not require level restrictions. Once a good task is grabbed, the gain is very large. Hehe, things that are fast and slow are of course to be robbed. And see the good tasks, first of all, if you can complete it, you can do it yourself. If you and your partner are not strong enough, you can invite other gray mercenaries to participate or simply subcontract.

It is not surprising that some magicians or relatively warrior-looking warriors are involved in the fight in front of the counter. How many of those big five or three big men or mad warriors have the money to read? Why not grab words to grab the task? The middle-aged magician just squeezed out of the crowd just now, and the magic hat almost fell to the ground. Apparently, the partners have become accustomed to seeing this kind of scene.

The five mercenaries of the small organization circulated the tasks in turn, and their brows were slightly frowned: as the war between the continents progressed, the registered mercenaries were all requested by the countries of the registered country to return to the country to coordinate defense. Enough manpower to complete the bounce from the tree house bar to the underground guild, the gray mercenaries have recently increased their income significantly-unexpectedly, in this case, their captain is still slow, got a seemingly a lot of money but it is really very Difficult task.

The magician discussed with the shortest thief's partner, stood up, cleared his throat, and called out loudly: "Go to the mission around the goblin forest. For a 20-day trip, there are 20 gold coins for the mission. If it is not completed There are 5 gold coins for hard work. Who is interested? Need three partners. "
