"Tell me, what's the reason for inviting me here? Don't say you just simply invited me to visit your mercenary group."
In the reception hall of the Blue Devil Mercenary Group, directly opposite the entrance, there is a very charming and scantily clad woman lying lazily on a chair.
Sitting on the two chairs on the left side below the woman is Shu Lai, and the other one is Shu Baifeng, the other deputy leader of the Blue Devil Mercenary Group. Both of them are intermediate spiritual masters.
Sitting directly opposite them was Chen Tian, who was 'invited' to the Blue Devils Mercenary Group as a guest. At this time, he was leaning on the chair very calmly, with an evil curve at the corner of his mouth, and what he said just now was exactly
What he said.
Chen Tian didn't think that Lan Mei and the others would invite him here as a guest if they had nothing to do. If the possibility of solicitation was ruled out, then they must have other purposes for inviting him here.
After hearing Chen Tian's question, Lan Mei, who was sitting in the center, slowly sat up straight. The lazy aura on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a shrewd energy, exuding a charming look in her movements.
breath.
"I didn't expect you to be stupid." Lan Mei covered her mouth and giggled, then a strange color flashed between her charming eyes and said: "Actually, I invite you here this time, I just want to talk to you.
A business deal.”
Hearing this, doubts flashed across Chen Tian's face, then he shrugged and said, "I have nothing but a small amount of self-defense, so there shouldn't be any business to discuss between us, right?
"
"The reason why we invited Brother Tianchen here this time is actually for nothing else. What we need is your strength." Lan Mei said with a tap of her chin.
Looking at Lan Mei with some surprise, Chen Tian shrugged, stared at Lan Mei, and said: "You should know that I am only a high-level spiritual master with my current cultivation level, so I can't help you at all."
"Since Brother Tianchen can kill sixth-order monsters, it means that your strength is at the level of a great spiritual master when you exert your full strength. If you join us, our safety factor can be greatly improved." Sitting on Chen's desk.
Shu Lai, who was across from Tian, shook his head and said after hearing Chen Tian's words.
"Your Blue Devil mercenary group has a lot of people, and there is definitely no shortage of experts. If there are tasks that you can't complete, then my extra strength won't make any difference, so you'd better hire someone else." Chen
Tian didn't want to help them. Apart from not caring about the so-called rewards, what he wanted even more was to take the flying monster now so that he could reach the Qingyang Empire as quickly as possible.
"Brother Tianchen's words are different." Shu Baifeng, who was sitting next to Shu Lai, shook his head and said: "Our mission cannot have too many people. Four people are most suitable, and two people are better, so this time we
I just need your help."
"Oh? Can you be more specific?" Although Chen Tian had many doubts in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. He placed his right hand on the small square table next to him and tapped lightly with his index finger.
"Some time ago, our Blue Devil Mercenary Group received a very strange task, which was to transport a strange item to the Blood City." Lan Mei, who was sitting in the upper position, had worry on her delicate face.
road.
"The City of the Blood Realm?" After hearing this place, Chen Tian was stunned, because if he wanted to go to the Qingyang Empire, he had to pass through the Blood Realm City. But he recovered after a moment and said: "The Blood Realm
The city is one of the five chaotic places that are full of dangers. According to the strength of your Blue Devil mercenary group, it might be difficult to even protect yourself there, right?"
"Yes, that's why we need your help," Lan Mei tapped her chin and then said seriously.
This matter is really important to their Blue Devil Mercenary Group. If successful, the Blue Devil Mercenary Group will receive an extremely large amount of funds. With that amount of funds, Lan Mei has absolute confidence that she can
In the shortest possible time, build the Blue Devils mercenary group into the strongest mercenary group.
But if the mission fails, the Blue Devils Mercenary Group will pay huge compensation for the commission compensation alone, and will also suffer an extremely serious blow in terms of reputation.
So for this matter, they spent a lot of brain cells, but they still couldn't come up with a solution, and finally found Chen Tian.
"Stop joking, you should go find someone else for help. Everyone knows where Blood City is. If you go there, you will lose your life if you are not careful, so I will not risk my life for a few cents."
None." Chen Tian simply refused. After all, according to his current cultivation level, even if he takes the Blood Territory City, it would be like a clay Buddha crossing the river. He would not even be able to protect himself, let alone help others.
More importantly, if he goes to Bloodland City with the Blue Devil Mercenary Group, the target will be too big and the possibility of being attacked will be higher, so he will not sell his personal safety for profit.
Chen Tian's refusal did not surprise anyone present. After all, the place they were going to this time was the Bloody City, one of the five chaotic cities. It was too dangerous there, so they had already made preparations.
Be prepared for rejection.
"If brother Tianchen is willing to help, our Blue Devil Mercenary Group will never treat you badly." Looking at Chen Tian with a determined face, Lan Mei just smiled faintly, then turned to look at Shu Baifeng and said: "Baifeng
Captain, show Brother Tianchen the rewards we have prepared first."
"Yes, Captain." After receiving the order, Shu Baifeng searched for the storage bag in his arms. When he found it, he pulled the rope on it, groped for a while, and then found a carefully crafted mysterious bag.
Iron box.
After putting away the storage bag, Shu Baifeng held the black iron box. After standing up, under Chen Tian's puzzled gaze, he slowly walked to Chen Tian and put the black iron box beside him.
On the square table next to it, after putting down the black iron box, Shu Baifeng turned around and returned to his seat.
"This is?" Chen Tian looked at the slightly heavy black iron box with his eyes. There was still dust residue on it, and it looked very dilapidated. From this point of view, this box had experienced a lot of time.
Longer.
"Back then, I, the Blue Devil family, have been doing business for generations. By chance, the ancestors of the Blue Devil family were on their way to the Qingyang Empire to do business with their friends. They encountered two strong men who had a fierce fight over a treasure.
After the fight, both of them died together in the end, and therefore, the treasure also fell into the hands of my ancestor and his friend."
"When they went to get the thing, they found that the thing was actually a mutilated parchment, but it looked like it had been torn into two halves, and the other half was missing. It might be possible for two strong men to fight for it.
It must be a treasure, so my ancestor and his friend tore the parchment in half, each keeping half."
"Judging from the parchment, it should be a treasure map. But when my father wanted to use the incomplete parchment to find clues, he found that the family of our ancestors' friend had declined, and the parchment
He is even missing."
"Oh?" After hearing Lan Mei's introduction, Chen Tian was immediately aroused with great interest. He vaguely felt in his heart that the parchment in Lan Mei's words might have some kind of relationship with the one he got.
association.
"Can I take a look?" Although his heartbeat was beating faster, Chen Tian still suppressed the anticipation and excitement in his heart, pretending to be very indifferent on the surface, and gently stretched out his hand to point to the black iron box, and said calmly
The way.
"Of course." Looking at Chen Tian with charming eyes, Lan Mei smiled casually, acting very indifferent. Although she looked like this, her heart was bleeding. Even his father died.
I told you to keep things well!
If it weren't for the fact that this mission was too important to the Blue Devils mercenary group, she would not have come up with such a thing to trade with Chen Tian. Although she could also come up with other things to trade, she was afraid that Chen Tian
God despises those things, so Lan Mei made such a difficult decision out of a desire to leave her children alone.
After hearing that he had a look first, Chen Tian smiled faintly, and then focused all his attention on the black iron box. He stretched out his hands and placed them on the lid of the black iron box. A cold breath spread throughout his body through the palms of his hands.
After touching the lid, Chen Tian gently applied force, and with a squeaking sound, the lid was lifted open.
The inside of the dark iron box was paved with red cotton cloth, but because of the time, the red paint had lost its bright luster. When the lid was opened, Chen Tian's eyeballs were instantly placed in the center.
He was attracted by something made of sheepskin. When he saw the sheepskin roll, Chen Tian's heart beat faster.
With a subtle hook at the corner of his mouth, Chen Tian glanced at it a few times and determined that it was one of the incomplete parchment rolls. However, he did not show much joy on the surface, which made the observer who had been observing
The change in Chen Tian's expression made people very disappointed.
"Captain Lan Mei, everyone is smart, and I won't talk nonsense." After observing again for a while, Chen Tian withdrew his gaze, and at the same time put the black iron cover back on, and turned his head to focus on Lan Mei.
, smiled lightly and said: "The drawing on this parchment may be a treasure, or it may be a piece of waste paper. Although two strong men died trying to snatch it, I am afraid that this statement has not been confirmed by even you.
Right? Moreover, this thing is divided into several parts, and no one knows where the other parts are. The Star Continent is so vast, trying to collect it all is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
