At night, in a small wooden house, Ming Dong and Jian Chen got together.
"Looking at your appearance, the injuries on your body should have recovered." Jian Chen looked Ming Dong up and down and said with a smile.
Ming Dong nodded slightly and said: "Thanks to the healing medicine you left, otherwise I would not have been able to recover so quickly. Moreover, after this period of meditation, my strength has also improved to a higher level."
Jian Chen nodded slightly and praised: "Yes, you are already a high-level Saint Master. With your cultivation talent, I estimate that you will be able to break through to the Great Saint Master in a few months."
"As long as I have enough magic core, I can definitely break through to the Great Saint Master within three months." Ming Dong was full of confidence. When he talked about his cultivation talent, he felt proud in his heart, but then when he thought
When Jian Chen stood up, the proud look on his face immediately disappeared without a trace.
Although his cultivation talent is extraordinary, Ming Dong also knows in his heart that he is far inferior to Jian Chen. Jian Chen looks like he is only in his early twenties, but he already has the strength of a great saint master.
As for myself, I am already twenty-seven years old, several years older than Jian Chen, but my strength has just reached the stage of senior holy master. When comparing the two, the difference is simply huge.
Jian Chen took out ten fourth-level magic cores and gave them to Ming Dong, saying: "Work hard to improve your strength. As for the magic cores, you don't have to worry. I will take care of all your training needs. But you must remember,
You must improve your strength step by step, don't rush it, and don't go too far, so as not to leave any hidden dangers that will affect your future path."
Ming Dong had already seen Jian Chen's generosity, and he didn't show any pretense. He directly accepted the magic core handed over by Jian Chen and said, "Don't worry, I understand this too."
"By the way, do you know about the mercenary event that is only held once in fifty years in the mercenary world?" Jian Chen suddenly asked.
Ming Dong nodded slightly and said: "I have been hanging around outside for a long time. I have heard about some mercenary events. I heard that there is a big competition among mercenaries. The battle is very fierce. It is best if you don't have strong strength.
Don't go and participate, otherwise you will die."
"Yes!" Jian Chen agreed: "I also heard that the death rate there is very high, but the rewards are extremely generous, making all the mercenaries crazy about it."
Hearing this, Ming Dong's heart moved. He stared at Jian Chen closely and asked, "Don't tell me that you want to attend the mercenary event."
Jian Chen did not deny it and said: "Yes, that's what I meant."
"It's best not to go!" Ming Dong looked serious and said: "Although I don't know much about the mercenary festival, I have heard others mention the dangers inside. If you don't have the strength of the Earth Saint Master, then it's best not to go.
Go and participate, otherwise you will narrowly escape death."
Jian Chen chuckled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, although my strength is not as strong as the Earth Saint Master, I am still capable of saving my life. The heaven-level combat skills are really too tempting. I must try them."
try."
Ming Dong's face suddenly became serious, and he stared at Jian Chen for a long time. After finally confirming that Jian Chen was not joking, he sighed helplessly, "It seems that you have made up your mind to attend this grand event.
.”
"Yes, I must go to participate. I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. You can come with me. Huangjiacun is too quiet. You will probably not be used to it if you stay here for a long time."
"Well, it is indeed a bit boring for me to stay here these days. If I hadn't waited for you to come back, I would have left here long ago."
….
In the early morning of the next day, Jian Chen and Ming Dong said goodbye to the people in the village, left a large amount of food brought in from outside, and left resolutely.
Regarding Ming Dong's departure, everyone in Huangjia Village looked sad, but they also knew in their hearts that Ming Dong was not suitable to live here. His departure would be a matter of time, and only the outside world was for him to venture into.
place, so I didn’t try to persuade him to stay. I just hoped that Jian Chen and the others could visit Huangjia Village often when they were free.
After all, Huangjiacun is located deep in the mountains and is almost isolated from the world. Very few outsiders set foot here.
Two days later, Jian Chen and Ming Dong walked out of the mountain, and then walked for a day to arrive at a second-level city. From a distance, the city gate was crowded with a large number of mercenaries and caravans entering the city.
them.
There were many soldiers at the gate of the city, more than 300 of them. Everyone who entered the city, whether they were rich-looking businessmen or tall mercenaries, had to be stopped and interrogated before being detained.
After letting them go, there were still groups of elite soldiers in armor standing on the city wall, looking sharply downwards.
"What the hell is going on? Why is it so troublesome to get into the city? I remember it was never like this before..."
"I guess something big happened. I just came from Antelope City yesterday. There were a lot of guards there. Soldiers all over the city were in action. They were searching for someone all over the city. It made the city full of uproar..."
"You don't know this, right? My cousin is the captain of the city guard in a nearby city. I heard from him that spies from the Kingdom of Geshen broke into our Fenglan Kingdom and killed the most elite Fengyun Guards in our Fenglan Kingdom.
He killed more than 300 people, stole a large number of magic cores, and escaped. Now our King is furious, and the entire kingdom is trying its best to find this spy..."
Many people were talking at the city gate, talking about this matter with great interest, and when Jian Chen heard these words, he couldn't help but reveal a sneer. What is certain is that the loss of these magic cores will have a great impact on the Wind Blue Kingdom.
That said, it is definitely an unbearable loss.
After waiting in line for a long time, as the people in front entered the city gate one by one, it was finally Jian Chen's turn.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Several soldiers immediately stopped Jian Chen and the two of them and shouted.
Jian Chen smiled slightly and said: "Brother, we are both mercenaries. Of course we came to the city for accommodation and to replenish some necessary items." As he said that, Jian Chen took out his mercenary badge.
The soldier pretended to take Jian Chen's mercenary badge and checked it, then glanced at Jian Chen and Ming Dong's figures up and down, and said: "It doesn't look like you have such thin skin and tender flesh.
Spies, go in!"
Jian Chen and the two walked into the city gate without any hindrance. Later, Jian Chen discovered that the streets and alleys in the city were covered with portraits. The figures on the portraits were similar to Jian Chen, but what was strange was that there were no
Draw what this person looks like.
"How can we find a spy with just such a portrait? We don't even know what a spy looks like. How can we find..."
"I don't know what the spy looks like. I can't recognize him even if he stands opposite me. Oh, why don't you put the spy's portrait on the flower? How can I find him with just a picture?"
There were many people watching around the portrait, and everyone was full of complaints.
"Haha, does His Majesty the King of Wind Blue Kingdom still want to find someone with such a portrait? This is simply a fool's dream. There are many people with such a figure, all over the streets. Is it possible that he still wants to find someone with such a portrait?
Arrest all the people whose body shape is similar to those in the portrait." Looking at such a portrait without facial features, Jian Chen said with a cheerful smile.
"Yeah, I don't know what the murderer looks like, so posting a portrait like this is just a decoration." Ming Dong, who was standing next to him, also agreed.
Jian Chen and Ming Dong left here and walked towards the city. After some inquiries, they came to a market specializing in Warcraft mounts.
The Warcraft mount trading market was relatively deserted. In a large straw shed, there were only more than thirty various Warcraft beasts lying there quietly.
Although the Warcraft mounts sold in the trading market are very docile and have almost no attack capabilities, they are very expensive and few people can afford them, so there are not many people in the Warcraft trading market.
In the Warcraft Mount Trading Market, Jian Chen spent 500 purple gold coins to buy two third-level Warcraft mounts that were good at running long distances. Then he rested in the city for one night and left the city early the next morning.
There is still half a year left before the mercenary event, and during this period, Jian Chen and the two of them have to keep traveling, because it is too far away from the mercenary city and they need to pass through several kingdoms.
It has traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Jian Chen and Ming Dong rode the third-level magic beast mounts on the official road at a speed of thousands of miles a day. The splashed dust formed a long dragon in the rear, causing many caravan mercenaries on the official road to panic.
They all cursed loudly, but seeing as the two of them were riding third-level monster mounts, they were not ordinary ones, so no one dared to offend them.
Two days later, Jian Chen and the two left Fenglan Kingdom and ran along a straight line on the plain.
The two of them traveled hard during the day and set up tents everywhere at night to practice. In the past half a month, they had traveled through the three kingdoms and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.
On a plain, Jian Chen and Ming Dong stopped by the roadside to rest. Jian Chen held a map in his hand and looked at it, comparing it to their current location.
"Ming Dong, look at the instructions on the map. There is a first-level city fifty kilometers ahead. Let's go in first and have a rest. By the way, we can see if there are any better Warcraft mounts for sale." Jian Chen stared at the map and nodded.
He said without raising his head.
Ming Dong unscrewed the lid of the kettle and drank a few sips of water, then said: "Well, you are not short of money anyway. It is time for our mount to be replaced with a better one. Although the speed of this third-level Warcraft mount is not as fast as
Not slow, but if you want to reach the mercenary city at this speed, it will take at least two or three months."
Later, Jian Chen and Ming Dong rode the third-level Warcraft mount Feng Chen and entered the first-level city called "Valorance".
As a first-class city, the city of Valorance covers a very large area and is full of prosperity. The main road is very wide and can accommodate ten carriages traveling side by side at the same time. There are shops and restaurants selling various items on both sides of the street.
, there was an endless stream of mercenaries and caravans coming and going on the street, and it was bustling with people.
The city of Valorance is very well managed. The streets are very clean. There is no garbage left randomly. The roads are all filled with pedestrians. It is not like Wacker City where the streets are full of mercenaries.
Street stalls, from this point alone, we can see the gap between first-class big cities and third-class small cities.
Suddenly, a burst of chaotic hoofbeats came from behind. Hearing the sound, Jian Chen looked back and saw a large group of people in bright clothes supporting a large carriage with very luxurious decorations rushing from behind. On the carriage,
A yellow flag was hung high and fluttering in the wind, with the word "qin" printed large on it.
