Compared with Sandttan, the capital Jingyao has a huge difference in architectural style and population. The initial villages and various shops related to magic formed the current aristocratic areas, and those that expanded outward were planned to be residential sites for civilians. Especially in the past twenty years, the gap between the two areas has become increasingly obvious.

The Teleportation Gate stands near the Magic Academy, which is the same name as the city. As soon as you exit the teleportation point, you can see the complex of buildings with countless spires. The high magical transformation allows the city to see the bright light as stars even if it is several kilometers away.

The guard Dika, who likes to read tabloids during working hours, remains unchanged from bad habits. Over time, the guards who are on duty with him are used to the behavior of this colleague being abandoned.

"Tsk tsk~ Look at our Grand Duke Taran, it's on the headlines again today. I really don't know how Notting's princess can tolerate such a husband, and the lover will change every ten days."

"Shut up, you." Another guard, Evan, had already chosen to ignore Deka's behavior, but Deka, who had no choice but to look and complain while still complaining, always poisoned his colleagues.

"Buzz~buzz~"

The unique light of teleportation flashed, and Deka quickly put away the badly printed tabloids and returned to a standing guard posture.

Five figures of varying heights walked out of the world gate, two women and three men.

"The World Sect is really useful, but it's a pity that it's too expensive." The loud man dressed in a warrior and carried a double giant sword on his back.

"Hawk, don't talk nonsense, be careful that others laugh at you as a rusty bun." The woman in black frowned, and her slightly low female voice was dissatisfied.

It smells so smelly, what does it taste like?

Deka pinched her nose and looked at the group of people who had smelled strangely. She was surprised to find that there was a dark elves among them. Not only did they not hide their race, but the strange smell was emitted from him.

"Captain, what should I do next?" Hawk, with thick lines, played the role of communication along the way.

"Let's find Victor first, he has a cheap dad." Klein's eyes turned and glanced at Deka who was protruding his head.

"Guardian, let me ask you about something. Where is Jingyao Academy?"

The demon's question made the two guards stagnate at the same time, and then raised their hands together and pointed at the towering buildings nearby.

"So close?" Klein squinted his eyes and saw the surface of the building reflecting a crystal-like color. From a distance, it seemed to be carved from a whole piece of crystal stone.

Deka winked at his colleagues. While explaining the direction of the academy gate to his group of countrymen, Evan pressed his hand on a magic crystal as big as a palm beside his post. It was a messaging crystal specially used to call the police, and it will only be opened when suspicious characters enter.

Since the Civil War, dark elves have also begun to appear in the southern continent, but he is the first one who does not hide anything like him. At least he is the first one since Deka and Evan were the guards.

"Ha~ Thank you." After understanding the direction of the gate, Klein suddenly turned his head and smiled at Evan, immediately causing the young guard's brain to be blank for a moment.

When he realized that the dark elves had already walked away with several companions.

"What were you just dazed?" Deka approached and shook his hand at Evan, who had a dull expression.

"Nothing, I just think that guy's eyes are a bit weird." Evan, who came to his senses, pressed the "Tutu" and leaped wildly. Then he thought of what he thought was strange, red-eyed... not half-elf!

"That just now..."

"You just discovered it? It's pure blood. I thought you had noticed it. But what did these real underground residents run to Jing Yao for? They also brought a group of humans who looked like mercenaries." Deka looked at the group of people who had turned the corner and shook her head repeatedly.

Nowadays, even the dark elves can walk on the streets of the southern land in name only. Eighty years ago, they were arrested by the City Guard as a spy during the Civil War.

"Captain..." Reina hesitated for a while and decided to ask a question.

"Say something if you have something to do."

"Your actions now make me feel that the three of us joining the group will have any help to your so-called "covering". "I kept saying that I wanted to use them to hide my identity, but I always exposed his eye-catching appearance. I really don't know what he was thinking.

"I didn't lie about covering this. As for what I want to cover up, you shouldn't know." Klein's appearance attracted the attention of passers-by. Even Frost Wolf did not dare to appear in public like him.

"But..." Reina wanted to ask in detail, but Du Nan stopped him. He put his shoulder on the female thief and shook his head with a serious expression. It was indeed not good for them to know too much.

"Stop." The academy guard Lunas raised his hands with white gloves, and from a distance he saw Klein who was not suitable.

That's the dress of a farmer when he is doing farm work. Will a dark elf go to farm? Even ghosts don't believe it.

"Please help me... let's find a mage named Victor Wood." Hawke explained his purpose.

"Wood?" This surname is not only rare in Jingyao, but also not many Taran. Of course, Lunas suddenly remembered who the owner of this name was, Jingyao's new trainee.

"I suggest you go to a nearby tavern. The college's notification procedures are very strict. It will be an hour later when he receives the notice."

"Haoke, stay. The others will go to the Mercenary Guild first to sign up."

The unlucky warrior who was named could only stand in the heat of the academy and stare at Lunas in front of the college.

"Captain, are you really going to register here?" Reina didn't want to attack the arrogant dark elves. The mercenary level is very strict, and the bigger the city, the harder it is to apply for. With a sensitive identity like him, let alone applying for a new mercenary group, it would be good not to be locked up as a member.

"Although I haven't done this job after eighty years, my qualifications shouldn't be cancelled yet... Well... what was the title at that time? I think about it..."

Looking at the group leader walking in front and muttering to himself, Du Nan and Reina looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At first they were frightened by this guy's cold side, and in the next few days they finally learned what the "talk" in Hawke's mouth meant. No one would talk to him and mutter for a long time. It seemed that he had the habit of talking to himself.

"Elu, why don't you speak?" Reina touched her head when she noticed that the little girl who was walking with her was silent.

"Sister Rena, are we going to meet that lich..."

"Shh!" He hurriedly covered Elu, who was unrestrained, and Reina warned her carefully: "This place is not as good as the countryside, you will cause trouble if you accidentally. You can call him Victor or a mage, but you must not say that word in front of outsiders, do you know?"

Nodded, Alu glanced at the passers-by who were occasionally shot at curious gazes around him, and returned to his previous state of silence.

After Dunan asked several passers-by one after another, they found the mercenary union adjacent to the Magic Academy without much effort.

The crossed swords are a symbol that has not changed for thousands of years. Klein stared at the iron badge hanging on the door, snorted coldly, and walked into the crowded hall with his feet.

"Hey~hey~hey, look at that guy!"

"Pure blood, more arrogant than Frost wolf..."

"Can he come to take on the mission?"

One after another, Klein ignored it and walked straight to the reception desk. The vice president Rooney, who received the notice, took action personally to receive the special visitor.

“What’s the name?”

"Klein."

"Then...Mr. Klein, I don't know what happened to you when you come to the mercenary workers." He wouldn't say anything about such an idiotic conversation, but facing those slightly dazzling red pupils, the vice president felt that his breathing was a little fast, and he always had the urge to draw his sword.

"Suddenly I feel bored and want to do my old job."

In normal times, such words and deeds can be considered as provoking the mercenary union, but due to his special status, Rooney decided not to care about it.

"You've been in the mercenary before?"

"Well... it's not long, it's been more than ten years. Although it's idle for many years, my files should still be retained." As he said that, Klein threw out a slightly modified silver badge. Although the surface pattern was a bit worn, the numbers engraved on it can still be seen.

Rooney took it and his expression changed slightly, and he whispered a few words to the female receptionist with a curious expression beside him. Soon, the young woman who turned and left brought back an old book.

After opening the mercenary registration book, Rooney checked it one by one, and finally found the exact same set of numbers in the old file eighty years ago.

Klein, a free mercenary. At the level, he drew the icon of five swords.

This guy is actually a first-level mercenary...

Rooney looked up in surprise and looked at the dark elves who had been looking at him again. Just as he was about to speak, the crowd suddenly separated like a tide. Two mages in black and red robes appeared at the gate of the mercenary union.

What's wrong today? Even Kelin Baier would come to him.

The vice president's frown deepened a little further, and he secretly prayed in his heart that these two people were not here to cause trouble.

"Ah~ Victor."

Klein opened his arms to embrace, and everyone felt his eyes blurred, and the dark elf immediately disappeared. When he saw him again, he was holding one of the mages' shoulders in a very familiar manner.

"I didn't expect us to come so quickly, did you?"

Klein's words made Ke Lin, who was standing aside, raise his eyebrows. He sensed the evil aura of different dark elves, and of course he did not miss the smell of blood.

[I came just right, I found a partner for you.] The red shadow brought by the tongue stick made the onlookers whisper again. There are very few mages from tongueless people these days, and being able to stand with Jing Yao's famous evil mage, which means that he is not an ordinary person.

"With a partner?" Klein narrowed his eyes and looked at Ke Lin, thinking about the meaning of a partner.

[Literally, a ready-made team is much easier than you rebuild one.]
