Chapter six hundred and ninety fourth
"Hiss~hiss~hiss!" It was the sound of the wind, the sharp wind emitted by the sharp sword cutting the air.
In the corner of the training ground of the Liuhuo Mercenary Group's resident, Jasmine was practicing swordsmanship intently. After defeating the leader of the Highland Fire Demon, she had some experiences. In the past two days after returning to Sun City, she had plunged into practice and was immersed in it.
Now, Sun City has been basically blocked by the divine power of the Goddess of the Night. The mercenaries only dare to try their luck less than 100 kilometers around Sun City, so there is no important task. The leader of the mercenary group, Gorenson, did not arrange any work for Jasmine, which allowed Jasmine to improve her strength with peace of mind.
When the mission of the sniper Fire Demon Legion was completed, the mercenary group received generous rewards, including a complete set of artifacts and equipment from the current elite War God Guard.
In this battle, Jasmine's contribution was the greatest. Gorenson originally wanted to assign this magical tool to her, but Jasmine refused.
Of course she knew that the power of the artifact was enough to allow her to save her life better, but she felt that with her current middle and upper-level power of the legend, she could not fully play the role of the artifact, and she was also worried that this artifact would make her dependence on her, thereby hindering her continued growth. Therefore, amid the sighs of regret of several friends, Jasmine resolutely gave the artifact to another elite mercenary with a stronger power in the mercenary group.
"Hiss~" Jasmine stabbed the last sword, then stopped. The strong wind that was solid like a substance suddenly left the sword body, turned into high-speed rotating air vortexes and quickly dispersed. The vortex blew a long trace on the ground, and then slowly disappeared.
After a while of slowing down, Jasmine put her sword back into the sheath, and then silent for a while, carefully pondering the entire practice process before, savoring the gains and losses in it. It was not until half an hour later that she let out a long breath and began to rest.
A young mercenary who had been standing not far beside her immediately came over. The mercenary was holding a flower made of blue crystal in his hand. He walked to Jasmine and smiled and said, "Give it to you."
Jasmine didn't reach out to pick it up, she glanced at Crystal Flower indifferently, shook her head and said, "Lian. You know I don't like this thing."
This Ryan is also an elite member of the group. Somehow he fell in love with her. Although he did not express his emotions clearly, he always tried every means to approach her. However, he could always grasp the degree of closeness well, so Jasmine didn't feel disgusted. Moreover, she couldn't always be silent. In the abyss of depression, having a personal chat can relieve stress.
Ryan was not annoyed. When he moved his hand, the blue crystal flower suddenly began to close and deform, and finally became an exquisite hairpin: "You always need this, right? It is specially made, very light and reliable, and will never affect your movements."
The hairpin was very good, and Jasmine also saw that Ryan had put a lot of thought into this little gift and looked up. Seeing the other party looking forward to her wishing her to agree, her heart softened, and she turned around and faced her side: "Then you put it on for me."
"Ah? Ah! Oh~ Oh, OK." Ryan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, because according to the past situation, the other party would definitely refuse.
He was excited and incoherent, and carefully clamped his hair on Jasmine's thick and smooth ponytail long hair. This action should have been very simple, but he found that his hands were shaking slightly, so that it was not completed for a long time.
Jasmine didn't urge her, but just waited patiently.
After finally letting Ryan complete this simple move, he felt like he had a life-and-death battle with the demon. After putting it on, he looked straight at Jasmine with a legitimate impression, a trace of obsession flashed in his eyes, and sincerely praised: "It looks so good."
I don't know if it's whether the hairpin looks good or the human is good, but Jasmine knows that he is talking about the latter because this guy's eyes are always staring at her face.
Of course, Moli knew what this person was thinking. But she could only refuse this emotion.
A person's energy is limited, but what she pursues requires devoted herself to it to have a front-line possibility, so she will never waste time on affair between men and women.
So, she shook her head, her voice calmly and firmly: "Lian, forget me."
Ryan was shocked, and his heart was cold for a moment. He felt that he had fallen from heaven to hell. The calm that he had pretended to have disappeared without a trace. He asked in disbelief: "What's wrong, Jasmine, did I do something wrong?"
Since the woman entered the mercenary group on the first day, he was shocked. It is true that the other party's appearance is not particularly outstanding in Sun City, but his cold temperament is like a snow lily growing in the ice water. Its loneliness and coldness hit his heart.
Before launching the offensive, he observed for several days and then took action after confirming that the woman was alone and had no partner.
Just now, the other party allowed him to put a card on her. He almost thought he was going to succeed, but what he waited for was this sentence, and he suddenly felt like he fell into an ice cave.
Jasmine shook her head: "No, you did nothing wrong. It's just because I'm not suitable for you."
"Why isn't it suitable?" Ryan asked instinctively instinctively instinctively.
"Did you see the sun in the sky?" Jasmine asked.
"Of course, that's the power under the God of War's crown."
"In your eyes, that is indeed. But in my eyes, that represents immortality, and that is what I am pursuing." Jasmine whispered.
"You God cannot be immortal, and God will also fall. Why can't you let go of these burdens and experience the beautiful happiness of the moment?" Ryan's thoughts were completely different from Jasmine. Although he also hoped that his power would continue to rise, he did not regard it as his ultimate goal in life.
In fact, he came to the abyss not because of his original intention, but because he was forced, which is also the situation of many residents in Sun City.
But they had no way to resist. Of course, they could choose not to come to the Crimson Land, but they would definitely be forced by the Lord of Light to join the battlefield belonging to the Crimson God. Since they had to go to the battlefield no matter what, the Crimson Land was obviously a better choice.
Jasmine sighed and Bingqing looked at Ryan with her eyes: "This is the difference between you and me. When you see the fall, I see the light. The stronger the power, the smaller the possibility of the fall. Don't you know that the true immortal can transcend time?"
The Immortal, the highest achievement of the gods, has only three gods successfully reached the top in millions of years. These three gods have existed from ancient times to the present. No one knows their beginning, and no one knows when they will end.
For many mortals, these three immortals almost represent time itself.
Ryan didn't expect that the woman in front of him would have such thoughts, and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "How is that possible? Jasmine, are you crazy?"
"Since God has achieved success, it means that there is a possibility of success. Other gods can do it. Why can't I do it?" Jasmine asked back.
Ryan took a breath, and he was finally sure that the woman in front of him was crazy. They were indeed not all the people. He shook his head repeatedly and wanted to say a few words, but finally couldn't say it. He could only sigh and turn around and leave.
Jasmine watched him leave until she could no longer see that, then she lowered her eyes and showed a hint of loss on her face.
How could she not know the arrogance she pursued? How could she not know that if she gave up the unrealistic pursuit and found a man who loved her at will, she could live a very pleasant and happy life. She also knew that she had just missed such an opportunity.
But deep down, there was always a hint of reluctance.
Many years ago, the swordsman went to the dark place to find her. At that time, he was an ordinary legendary warrior, and his achievements might not be as good as Ryan. But now, he is the commander of the entire natural god system, a powerful god. If he goes further, he is the immortal.
She watched him achieve supreme power step by step. Why can he do it? She can't? Even if she can't catch up, she must not be too far behind.
The sound of footsteps came around me. Jasmine didn't have to turn around and look at who was here: "Captain, is there anything wrong?"
Gorenson's expression was a little complicated. He looked at the woman in front of him and handed over a letter covered with the rune mark of the Fire Mercenary Group: "For you, this is my recommendation letter."
"Recommendation letter?" Jasmine was very confused. She took the letter and looked at it a few times, and said the words "Lightly opening under the Moon God's Crown" on the back of the envelope, and there was nothing else.
"Sorry. I accidentally heard the conversation between you and Ryan, but it also made me more convinced that you are the most qualified to receive this letter of recommendation in my team."
Without waiting for Jasmine to ask, Gorenson continued: "You also know that the situation in Sun City is very serious now. After the gods discussed, they decided to visit those warriors with strong potential for special training. If they succeed in training, they will be qualified to join a special team. This is a very good opportunity to improve."
Jasmine was moved at once, but she was still a little confused: "Captain"
"I will soon be no longer the commander. To be honest, I have joined this team and become one of them. I really hope that in the near future, you can fight side by side with me. Of course, it will not take too long, because this team will likely face ten times more dangerous than our past ten times, and the soul may not survive. Maybe I will die in battle before you come."
Gorenson's face showed a smile that saw through everything. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "In Sun City, some people have given up their pursuits, and some people have the idea of being strong, but they are unwilling to bear the price of pursuing strength. If you want to be strong, you know very well the way you are going, and you are still working hard. This is the same as me, so this letter is yours."
Jasmine said no more and bowed to Gorenson: "Thank you very much."
Gorenson nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but after walking for a half step, he stopped and said in a soft voice: "Your martial arts are very similar to that one. I know you are from Troll. I think you should have a good relationship. This is a good thing, but it may not be on the battlefield, because it will attract the special attention of the Goddess of the Night. You should pay special attention to this."
Moli was stunned, and then a hint of gratitude appeared. She had never thought about this before. The news of the other party was very useful. Maybe she could save her life at some point in the future.
"I remember."
"Okay. Take this letter to the training camp in the east of the city and someone will test your abilities. Seize this rare opportunity!" Gorenson made a fist stance, and then he turned and left.
Jasmine stood alone on the playground for a while, then she resolutely walked out of the Liuhuo Mercenary Group's base and strode towards the east of the city.
There will be great dangers, and this sentence is the truth within the natural god system that respects the fairness of the contract.
She naturally wants to seize this opportunity. (To be continued.)
