The next day, the sun had just risen, and the hazy morning mist smeared a thin layer of water droplets on the green trees and red tiles of the Bellbird Mercenary Corps. The old bluestone pavement was also dense, and moss grew around the stone cracks.
It feels a little greasy.
The headquarters of the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group was originally a mansion owned by a wealthy family. Due to the owner's extravagant spending, he had to pawn it, so it was bought by Karin.
Karin received a notice from Gu Nansheng late last night and drove to the door of Gu Nansheng's room early this morning. She knocked on the door and wanted to report to him on the business situation over the past year.
"Come in." Gu Nansheng just finished practicing the last move of the quick move without solution, wiped his sweat, and said to Karin outside the door.
"Boss." Karin bowed respectfully, with no special expression on her face.
Perhaps she was a little happy, because after Gu Nansheng came back, the commercial city's business had a big backer.
"Thank you for your hard work this year." Without Karin's care, his commercial city would probably have collapsed by now.
Commercial City means more than just money to him, it is his rear area and can provide a good shelter for Jones.
"Without hard work and without Mr. Gu, Karin might no longer be alive, so how could she be here today?" Karin said this from the bottom of her heart. She took out a stack of ledgers from the box she carried with her, "
Here are the accounts for this year, please take a look."
Gu Nansheng didn't know much about accounts and didn't bother to look at them. He said, "Just tell me what happened this year."
"Yes, boss. A year ago, Miss Jones Xiang told me everything that happened in the Centaur Forest in Biluo City. I took the initiative to move the commercial city to Yanzhou without my husband's permission. There are three reasons. One is to ensure safety.
, Biluo City has become a neutral territory, and Mr. has enemies, so it is too unsafe; secondly, we have offended the Jones family before, and if Mr. is not here, our life may be difficult; thirdly, because Biluo City is too small,
The development space is limited, and I came to Yanzhou for broader development prospects."
"Because huge wealth requires strong protection, I am considering forming my own force."
"However, raising a private armed force requires a lot of expenses. In order to make the private armed force self-sufficient, I thought of forming a mercenary group to replace the private armed force, so I used the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group, with Miss Jones Xiang as the deputy.
Commander, the position of leader is vacant for you."
"After this relocation, the Chamber of Commerce lost a total of about 50,000 gold coins. All the previous working capital was put in. It had to convert most of the properties in Biluo City into cash and reopened a small commercial center in Yanzhou City.
Profit was achieved six months ago. The total profit so far is 128,400 gold coins. After deducting various expenses, the remaining 69,300 gold coins are currently. However, the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group is still unable to make ends meet.
."
While Karin reported the bill, she prayed in her heart that the boss must not spare $18,000 to buy materials on a whim, otherwise the newly developed commercial center would be stretched thin.
But what she didn't expect was that instead of asking her for money, Gu Nansheng took out twenty gold cards worth ten thousand gold coins and lined them up on the table, "Here are two hundred thousand gold coins for your liquidity."
Funds, expand the size of the commercial city. In addition, the most important thing is to expand the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group and attract more masters. It doesn’t matter if you lose money, the most important thing is”
Gu Nansheng's fingers slammed on the table, "Protect Xiaoxiang for me."
Karin stared at the golden light on the table in stunned silence. She felt like she couldn't open her eyes. Each gold card was as thick as a palm. There were more than twenty cards lined up. The visual impact was really overwhelming, especially for someone like Karin.
For business women….
Karin swallowed quietly. She didn't like dressing up, shopping, food, or men. The only thing she liked was making money.
Watching the commercial city grow little by little, she would feel great satisfaction and pleasure in her heart.
Two hundred thousand gold coins can shorten her development plan by one to two years!
Gu Nansheng thought for a while, then took out five more gold cards from the inventory and slapped them on the table, "These five are specially reserved for Wind Chime Bird as reserve funds. Even if the Commercial City collapses, this mercenary group will have to give them to me."
Hold on."
Gu Nansheng really doesn't need money now. If he doesn't have enough money, he'll have to go back to the Capital of Blood and ask Merlin for more.
Karin was a little dizzy, there were five cards again, where on earth did the boss get so much money.
She hurriedly patted her chest and promised to protect Miss Jones Xiang, as long as there were not a large number of job-changing heroes coming.
Gu Nansheng thought about it and had nothing to explain, so he took out the two female slaves from the Life Stone.
Karin watched helplessly as Gu Nansheng transformed into two women from behind, and was dumbfounded.
Moreover, the two girls were only covered with a thin gauze, and they had a panoramic view of the spring scenery. This would inevitably make people think of it, but the associations were associations. Karin would never be stupid enough to look at Gu Nan with ambiguous eyes.
Literally, it is actually quite normal for a person with the status of a boss to keep a group of women for his own pleasure.
The two girls had already woken up. They suddenly came from the Scarlet Mercenary Group into such a strange environment. They were a little confused and at a loss.
They glanced at Gu Nansheng, could he be their new master?
Gu Nansheng looked at the two women's almost 100% transparent clothes, coughed twice in embarrassment, and used magic voice transmission to describe the cause and effect of the incident to Karin.
After learning that Gu Nansheng had killed a big shot in Yanzhou City, Karin not only did not panic, but almost clapped her hands. She felt that Gu Nansheng had done a great job, so she was confident that she could push the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group to the top within half a year.
The throne of the first mercenary regiment of Yanzhou City.
Although it is troublesome to bring back two people, it is not difficult to hide them. After the news has passed, they can be given to some decent mercenary as wives, or they can be trained into a commercial city.
of karaoke.
Gu Nansheng thought for a while and then told Karin, "Don't tell Xiaoxiang about this, lest she might think of it."
Karin chuckled and said, "Mr. Gu, of course I won't be so talkative. In fact, even if I tell Captain Xiang, she won't be so stingy. I will make arrangements for them."
After that, Karin took out the communication crystal and called a few trustworthy girls from the business center. Then she found some clothes for the two girls in the mercenary group and asked them to sit in the carriage that Karin came in.
.
Under the care of Karin's close bodyguards, the two girls got into the carriage ignorantly and glanced at Gu Nansheng anxiously, not knowing what their future fate would be.
Watching the two girls leave, Karin said: "One more thing, the Naga tribe is currently at war with the Scourge. I think they have verified that the Siren Princess Charybdis died at the hands of Knuckles."
"Oh?" Gu Nansheng smiled and touched his nose. This is indeed good news. Although the natural disasters and the guards have been fighting continuously all year round, they are currently in a truce period, and the conflicts are limited to certain places.
The Naga Kingdom where Charybdis is located is just one of the many kingdoms of the Naga clan. With their strength, it is impossible to destroy Knuckles. At most, they can only consume some of Knuckles' minions.
Knuckles will have to take revenge sooner or later.
That day, Gu Nansheng, led by Karin, casually inspected the commercial center, had a hasty lunch, and took a carriage back to the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group at about two o'clock in the afternoon...
The mercenaries were practicing on the school ground. Gu Nansheng was walking on the road. The mercenaries he saw who knew Gu Nansheng immediately stopped and saluted. Mercenaries always respect the strong the most.
Gu Nansheng returned to his residence, closed the door, took out the quick-fix crystal, and prepared to continue practicing the second level of mind technique.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from all directions.
Enemy attack?!
Without thinking, Gu Nansheng directly activated the power of evil, rolled his body to the side of the bed, Frostmourne took action, and Invincible Slash was ready to go.
"squeak!"
A sound wave that was enough to shatter the soul cut through the void and hit the position where Gu Nansheng had just stood. The granite stone table shook violently. Half a second later, the stone table suddenly turned into powder and scattered silently. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a
Pile fine sand.
Gu Nansheng suddenly felt chills running down his spine. This was definitely the strength of a legendary hero. Although he could turn stones into sand with his sword wind, it was not so fine.
The sonic attack exceeds one's own strength, is it possible?
Gu Nansheng's throat rolled with difficulty, "Akasha?"
A figure suddenly appeared in the room, with black wings, a fiery figure, and a face that was obviously cold and arrogant, but looked very charming. It was Akasha who had left Gu Nansheng for more than a year.
Gu Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief, "The way you greeted me was too dangerous. If I reacted just a moment too late, I might have lost half my life."
After not seeing each other for a year, Akasha's eyes seemed to have a bit more vicissitudes, and she lost the previous arrogance and vitality. She said indifferently: "After not seeing each other for a year, the master's growth surprised me. At this rate, I'm afraid it won't take more than a year."
Years later, you will surpass me."
Gu Nansheng originally wanted to ask Akasha what she was doing after leaving this year, but when she heard her voice that seemed a little discouraged, he had no way of asking and had nothing to say, so he had to remain silent.
After a moment of silence, Akasha said: "I am here this time to take you to see Eisenfrog."
Gu Nansheng was stunned, "Now?"
"Yes, now, since the last time it was used, the teleportation array has been fully charged and can now be activated."
"Teleportation array? Going to Earth?"
"Of course it's going to Earth."
Gu Nansheng felt a bit unreal. He had traveled through a distant space and arrived at Duota Continent for so long, and now he could actually go back?
What will it be like to return to Earth after two years of absence?
Is it to return to one’s hometown in fine clothes and glory, or is it just to be a passerby in a different world?
"Pack it up. It will take about half a month to go. You don't need to bring anything with you. Eisenfrog will have it."
Gu Nansheng suddenly remembered something and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it now. Can I wait for two days?"
"Why?"
"I killed a local gangster in Yanzhou City yesterday. His men may have guessed that it was me. I'm afraid it's not going to be peaceful these days."
Akasha frowned, "Since we have killed, why not kill them all?"
"Kill them all?" Gu Nansheng was stunned, "It was just a little quarrel. There is no need to kill everyone in the entire mercenary group over this."
Although Gu Nansheng killed countless people in the bloody city, those people basically had a way to kill themselves. He actually wanted to recruit the Scarlet Mercenary Group by killing the Chained Man this time.
Merge the blood color into the wind chime bird, so that it can be solved once and for all, and Xiaoxiang will be safer.
Akasha suddenly glanced at Gu Nansheng meaningfully, "Are you trying to protect that woman? There are so many words."
Gu Nansheng didn't hide anything, "You can say that."
Akasha sneered, "She is just a mortal woman, worthy of the master's concern? Even meeting Eisenfrog is postponed because of her?"….
Akasha's tone made Gu Nansheng unhappy, "Aren't you born a mortal? Eisenfrog has been on Earth for many years, and he doesn't care about waiting for me for a few more days."
Akasha didn't reply, but just looked at Gu Nansheng. After a long time, she sighed quietly and her eyes became sad, "You are really different from him."
"I haven't experienced his kind of setbacks." Gu Nansheng naturally knew that the "he" referred to Alsace. Although Gu Nansheng's life was not smooth, it was a bit insignificant compared to Alsace.
Alsace is not without feelings, but he had to give up his feelings after experiencing a series of blows.
At this moment, Gu Nansheng's communication crystal rang. After the connection, Jones Xiang's timid voice came from the crystal, "Um, Gu Nansheng, do you remember what you said last night that you would go shopping with me after lunch today?"
"
On Crystal's side, Jones Xiang was a little nervous. Although she had gone shopping with Gu Nansheng before, this time it was a real date. Originally, she had been waiting for Gu Nansheng to call her, but it was already past two o'clock, and it seemed that she would have to wait any longer.
It was dinner time, so she didn't care about the girl's reserve and took the initiative to talk to Gu Nansheng on the phone.
Gu Nansheng was stunned. He had forgotten about this. He glanced at Akasha and replied with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work today. I'm still in the commercial city and haven't come back yet. How about another day?"
"Oh" the voice from Crystal's side was a little disappointed.
Still in the commercial city, Jones Xiang was embarrassed to ask Gu Nansheng before, so he spoke to Karin first. Karin said that Gu Nansheng had gone back by car an hour ago.
Yanzhou City is such a big place, even if it's a snail pulling a cart, it's time to join the mercenary group now.
Thinking of this, Jones Xiang felt a little aggrieved, and finally made up his mind to let go of his reserve, and ended up with this result.
She tried her best to sound indifferent, "It's okay, it's okay, you can go out when you are free."
"Then I'll find you another day."
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up the crystal, Jones was a little disappointed. Looking for you another day was obviously a perfunctory statement. Could it be that the promise he made yesterday was just a whim?
Thinking of this, Jones Xiang couldn't help but worry about gains and losses. The IQ of a girl in love is close to zero, and it is easy to fall into the emotional whirlpool. What's more, Jones Xiang is not very smart to begin with.
Turning off the communication crystal, Gu Nansheng found that Akasha had been staring at him, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
"Follow me to see Eisenfrog. I'll be back tomorrow morning. It won't delay your romance."
"Tomorrow morning?" Gu Nansheng was stunned. Even if he set off from Yanzhou City to the Netherworld Imperial Capital, he would not be able to come back tomorrow morning, let alone go to the distant earth.
Akasha naturally knew Gu Nansheng's question, and she explained: "The place we are going to is another universe, not another other world. The laws of each universe are different. For example, your skills will become invalid if you go to the earth."
"Do you think the universe where the Earth is located and the universe where the Duota Continent is located will share the same time?"
When Akasha said this, Gu Nansheng immediately understood that the universe is space, the universe is time, and the universe is the sum of time, space, matter, and energy.
Now that Gu Nansheng has come into contact with the other world of the Duota Continent, the 108 other worlds of the bloody capital, the other world of the outer realm, and even the other world of the final test, they actually all belong to the same universe. The laws of these other worlds are the same and the time is the same. From one other world,
To move from one realm to another is just from one space to another.
However, traveling between universes is traveling from one time and space to another, not just traveling through space.
This requires a four-dimensional coordinate point, three-dimensional space, and one-dimensional time.
The choice of this time point is decided by Akasha. If you want to come back tomorrow morning, just set the time point to come back one day later...
"Remember, you are going to see Eisenfrogg as the heir of Alsace. It is appropriate to be respectful, but there is no need to be respectful."
Gu Nansheng nodded, "I understand."
"Leave now." Akasha said and took Gu Nansheng's hand, and the next moment the two of them had disappeared from the room.
Relying on the blinking skill, the two of them were hundreds of miles away in just an instant.
Gu Nansheng just felt that his vision went dark, and he came to the entrance of a dark cave, surrounded by jagged rocks and moss, "Where is this?"
"The Canyon of Despair."
Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment. The Canyon of Despair was the place where Gu Nansheng encountered a natural disaster when he first came to Duota Continent. At that time, he, Jones Xiang and Luna were trapped in it for more than ten days and could not get out, and almost died in it.
Later, I found a cave, entered it, and inexplicably went to the isolated island in the sea.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, the cave in front of me should be the original cave. When you come here, do you want to go through the portal?
Akasha looked at Gu Nansheng's expression and knew what he was thinking, and said: "The teleportation array to the earth is buried in the Frozen Throne, so we are going to the Frozen Throne now."
So that's the case, it makes sense when you think about it.
For Akasha and Gu Nansheng, the presence or absence of light does not have much impact on perception.
They walked for a while in the dark cave and saw the small door that had given Gu Nansheng unlimited hope.
It was this portal that brought Gu Nansheng and the others to the isolated island in the first place, and then Gu Nansheng and Luna each went to find their own destiny.
Speaking of which, Gu Nansheng still doesn't know what Luna's fate is and what kind of imprisonment the butterfly inheritance means.
