Chapter 4 The Angry Horse in Fresh Clothes Only in Dreams
After walking out of the mercenary guild, it was getting dark. But the main city is the main city, and the small town is simply incomparable. Although the sky is getting dark, the number of people walking on the street has not decreased, but has increased.
There is an increasing trend. The lights lit by various shops on the street are either dark or bright, some are candles, and more are illuminated by magic stones. The magic culture in the Western Yuan Continent has been very developed. Although there are few magicians, through
There are no shortage of practical items developed through magic research.
There are some lights and some small stalls without shops on the roadside, and the people coming and going are very interesting.
The most attractive ones are some small restaurants. At this time of the meal, they deliberately lift the steamers outside the door and sell them with the aroma - "Baozi, steamed buns... Hot buns, steamed buns...
..”
Smelling the fragrance and listening to the hawking sounds, I wanted to buy two to try even if I wasn't hungry. Besides, Yalic, a young man, had an unsatisfactory stomach growling.
"Dude, here are two steamed buns and three steamed buns."
"Okay, two steamed buns, three steamed buns, and a delicious dish for you. A total of ten copper coins." The waiter smiled and wrapped the things for Yaliqi.
"Ah? Why is it so expensive? In our place, it only costs three copper coins at most." Yalic said in surprise.
"Hey! Sir, as soon as I said these words, I knew you were an outsider. We are here in the main city. Why do so many people come to the main city to find a way out? They just think that the money is easy to make here, and you can make money too.
Everyone can make money, but you can't make gold, and I can only make stones. What do you think? Sir." This guy was talking about horse racing.
Putting it this way, it sounds like there is some truth in life and death, and Yaliqi thought about it, so he had to give the money sadly.
While eating and walking, it was already getting late. It looked like we could only wait until tomorrow if we wanted to leave the city. I was a little tired after traveling for several days, so I had better find a place to stay before making any plans.
During this period, Yaliqi felt distressed again. He just casually found a small hotel and was charged fifty copper coins for one night. Seeing Yaliqi grinning, the boss smiled and told him that if
There are discounts for staying longer. Yaliqi calculated that he would have to stay here for at least a month to get enough money to buy a horse.
The boss is also a smart man. The room is empty. If he stays for a month, he will only charge him one gold coin and two silver coins, which is forty copper coins a day. It is natural for Yalic at this moment.
It was a bit more economical, so I quickly agreed.
The next day I got up early and left the city early, hoping to get back before dark, but it took a long time to get out of the city. Looking at the people riding horses on the road, Yalic was really envious. When would he do it?
Being able to wear bright clothes and gallop on the streets with angry horses, I think back to you, it’s better to do the things in front of you first.
The fire rabbit is a small animal. It is very popular because of its brightly colored fur. Not only do they use the fur to make clothes, many people also like to feed it as an animal. Of course, it is better to feed the animal from an early age.
.
Yaliqi has also hunted fire rabbits before, but that was for meat, and the most important thing is that where there are fire rabbits, there must be giant wolves. Therefore, the high-level mercenaries did not bother to do this task because of the low pay, while the low-level mercenaries
The soldiers were unable to do it because of the giant wolf.
"After all, I am also a warrior who has practiced martial arts, and I have the Wolf Fighting Technique and weapons. I should have no problem dealing with a few wolves?" Yalic thought as he looked at the woods in front of him.
This place is not far from the main city, and the environment is quite pleasant. There are mountains, water, forests and birds. The forest seems to be no longer peaceful because of the arrival of someone. Yalic is looking for traces of fire rabbits as he walks.
Where rabbits hang out, they often drop some red fur, so they are relatively easy to find.
"Ha! It seems that I am really lucky, there is one nearby." Yalic said happily.
After careful search, I finally found it in a tree hole. The adult fire rabbit ran away in fright when it saw people, leaving behind a nest of little rabbits. Just when Yaliqi reached out to catch it, there was someone behind him.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and when he turned around, he was startled. It turned out that there were three giant wolves like calves more than 20 meters behind him, staring at him.
.
Yaliqi quickly turned around, took off the sword from his back, held it in his hand, and assumed a defensive posture. With a high degree of concentration, the martial arts in his body also moved at a high speed, and continued to move around his body.
Although it cannot be released externally, the flowing martial energy can continuously repair the body damaged in the battle.
Strangely enough, the three giant wolves just looked at Yaliqi without any intention of attacking. After a stalemate for a while, Yaliqi stepped back a little, holding a knife in his right hand, and slowly squatted down, trying to
He used his left hand to grab a little fire rabbit that was not very good at running. As soon as his hand touched the fluffy little rabbit, he saw two of the three giant wolves suddenly pounce on him.
Seeing this, Yaliqi quickly raised his knife to resist. The two giant wolves arrived in front of them in just two pounces. I have never had close contact with such beasts and I can't feel the fear. The green and faint wolves
His eyes seem to be staring right in front of you.
Perhaps due to his high concentration, the giant wolf's rapid attacks seemed to slow down a lot in Yalic's eyes. Not only could the giant wolf's movements be clearly seen, but even the gray fur of the giant wolf could be seen as long as he
Anyone who wants to count can count clearly. I saw Yalic rolling to the side to avoid a pounce of the giant wolf, and quickly rushed towards another giant wolf, just as the three giant wolves jumped up at the same time again.
, suddenly knelt down and leaned back, using the speed of forward motion to slide forward, he raised the knife and slashed the belly of the giant wolf. The three giant wolves suddenly lost their target and collided with each other in the air. Yali
Qi stood up and pounced on another giant wolf, stabbing him with the knife. The giant wolf also let out a scream and could not move. At this time, the last giant wolf also stood up tremblingly and looked at Yaliqi.
Full of resentment, Zhongchong looked at his companions lying on the ground, then looked up at Yaliqi who was holding a knife, and finally slowly backed away to the tree hole, stretched out his head, picked up two little rabbits, turned around and ran away.
.
The retreat of the giant wolf made Yaliqi's highly concentrated energy suddenly relax. I don't know whether it was because the movements were too violent or because he was too excited for the first battle. Yaliqi's face turned red, his chest kept rising and falling, and he gasped for breath.
Gas, "poof", he vomited a mouthful of blood. The spitting of blood made Yaliqi feel much more relaxed. He even felt that his eyes and ears were much smarter than before, but the martial arts in his body did not change due to the
The cessation of fighting stops the flow.
In the past, martial arts only flowed through the body when exercising, and the body was being exercised minute by minute, but now it is running automatically. Although it is very slow, you can feel it, and the body feels like
It’s the same as the improvement of the Wolf Fighting Technique before. Could it be that the Wolf Fighting Technique has been upgraded? But the Wolf Fighting Technique only has three levels in total. How can it be improved again? I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I think about it, so I just don’t think about it.
Yalic stopped thinking, looked at the two wolf corpses in front of him, and frowned.
"This...hey, the wolf meat is inedible, and the wolf skin is rough. The giant wolf is indeed a piece of garbage, but it looks fierce." Yaliqi sighed. The beast he finally killed had no redeeming qualities.
Everyone will be sad.
"By the way, I seem to have heard that wolf tooth powder can cure some diseases. It might be useful." Yalic finally felt better, so he spent a lot of effort to knock out the teeth of the two giant wolves.
, the poor giant wolf was really dead without a whole body.
Then he successfully got the little fire rabbit, and then started to head back happily.
While walking on the road, I smelled a fishy smell. It turned out to be the smell of wolf blood. The fishy and smelly wolf blood was everywhere on my clothes. It smelled really bad. As I thought about it, I thought about the giant wolf in the end.
The scene of walking the little fire bunny.
"I used to hear that where there are giant wolves, there must be a lot of fire rabbits. Now that I think about it, it's true. I didn't expect that giant wolves also know how to raise and hunt. Fire rabbits have very strong reproductive capabilities. If there are four or five fire rabbits in the nest, two giant fire rabbits will
The wolf won't starve even if he doesn't do anything." Yalic suddenly smiled at this moment. Even low-level creatures like giant wolves have such wisdom, so what about the giant dragon that Hank and the others were talking about?
"Bah! Why did you think of these two bad guys? It's really disappointing." Unknowingly, he had returned to the city, and of course it was already dark.
The brightly lit streets made Star City feel like a city that never sleeps. Walking on the streets, coupled with the thought of completing the task, naturally made me feel much better.
"It's so late, and there's probably no one left in the mercenary guild. It's better to go tomorrow morning!" Yalic thought for a while, made up his mind, and ate something casually on the street. He was very tired, and then went back.
I rested. Of course I still had to practice the Wolf Fighting Technique every day. Maybe I was so tired that I fell asleep in a daze at some point.
When he woke up the next morning, Yaliqi found that he had slept with his clothes on. He thought that he was very tired and couldn't even tell when he went to bed, so he no longer paid attention to the war that was running by itself.
Wolf Jue.
When he came to the mercenary guild, Yaliqi didn't have to queue this time, because there was no one at the place where he handed in the task yet, so he went directly to the reception desk where he handed in the task.
"Hello, please quote your task number."
"10221"
After a while, the receptionist said: "No. 10221, primary task, capture a fire rabbit cub, reward 5 silver coins. Right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, please give me your mission items and your mercenary card,"
Yaliqi quickly handed over the small cloth bag and his mercenary card in his hand. The receptionist took it and took a look at it. He smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment." Then he handed the fire rabbit to the person next to him.
Another handyman then took out a rectangular plate-shaped object from his pocket, placed it on Yalic's mercenary card, and then placed it in a recess on the table next to him. Then Yalic was surprised to find the receptionist
The surface of the table in front of me actually displayed my own information——
Name: Yalic
Identity: Permanent mercenary
Level: Low-level mercenary
Number of missions accepted and completed: Low level 00 Beginner level 10 Intermediate level 00 Advanced level 00 Special level 00 God level 00
Mercenary points: 0
Mission completion rate: 0%
"This, what is this? It's so amazing." Yalic asked in surprise.
Novice mercenaries have asked this question, so the receptionist said with a calm look: "This is developed by the magicians of our guild. Through this magically processed table, information can be recorded and displayed on the mercenary card.
, it is very easy to use, and is currently used by other guilds, organizations, and even the Divine Court, and it is also one of the sources of income for the guild."
After hearing this, Yalic could only sigh in his heart, "Magic, it's so magical!"
Then the receptionist took out another metal rod and modified some of Yalic's information on the table. The level became a junior mercenary, the number of junior missions became 11, and the points became 10. Mission completion rate
is 100%.
Seeing the blue light emitted when the metal rod modified the information, Yalic had the idea of learning magic for the first time in his mind, but he did not expect that the magic of Xiyuan Continent is so prosperous because of the inheritance of many generations of magicians.
After successfully receiving five silver coins, the hard-working Yalic did not leave. He took the mercenary card and stuffed it into his arms without looking at it carefully, and then continued to look for a mission that suited him.
After a while, Yalic suddenly smiled. It turned out that he saw a task - task number 10566. The task content is to obtain the teeth of a giant wolf. The number is more than five. The task reward is one gold coin. Each additional tooth will add one silver coin. The task period is three
days (one day has been published).
"Haha, it's really God's blessing." Yaliqi happily started to take the task. There were not many people today, and soon it was Yaliqi's turn. Before the receptionist could ask, Yaliqi said:
"Task number 10566" then handed over the mercenary card. After the receptionist took it, he quickly recorded it.
Yalich took the mercenary card and turned around and ran back to the place where he handed in the mission. When the receptionist saw this person again, he thought he had left something behind, so he quickly stood up and asked: "Sir, what did you leave behind?"
What?"
Yaliqi coughed slightly and said, "Uh, um, I'm here to hand in a task, task number 10566."
"Ah!" The receptionist took Yalich's mercenary card in surprise, then inquired about the mission, and then asked: "Giant Wolf's Teeth, but you just walked away from me...how...
." Forgetting the small cloth bag Yalic took out from his arms and the small pile of giant wolf teeth that he shook out from his mouth, the receptionist had nothing to say. He could only say that this guy was very lucky.
Knowing when and where to get things comes in handy at this time. But he still said: "That's great, please wait a moment, I will count the number."
"Okay," Yalic said happily.
After a while, the receptionist looked up and said: "There are forty-eight in total. According to the client's wishes, you can get a total of 5 gold coins and 3 silver coins as a reward."
"Haha, great," Yalich said happily. Then the receptionist began to modify Yalich's mercenary card, changed the information inside and handed it to Yalich. Only then did he notice Yalich's clothes.
There were dried blood stains on his face, and I thought to myself, "It's so hard, is it so hard that he killed the giant wolf by himself during the previous mission? How could he be a high-level warrior by looking at him? If he was a high-level warrior,
You should work hard to improve your strength and become a martial artist, I really don’t understand.”
After receiving the rewarded gold coins and mercenary card, I accidentally discovered that the mercenary card was a little different. I looked carefully at the original shiny mercenary card. There seemed to be some red dots at the bottom, so I asked: "What's going on?
, it seems the color has changed.”
The receptionist looked at it and replied: "This can be used to directly observe the number of completed mercenary tasks. Every time a task is completed, it will be in the corresponding position and add the corresponding color. You have now completed two primary tasks, so there are
There are two small red dots. Low-level tasks are not counted in this. Intermediate tasks are blue, high-level tasks are yellow, special tasks are purple. For god-level tasks, the president will personally cast magic to light up the god star in the card.
.”
"Oh, that's it, thank you." Then he walked out of the mercenary guild excitedly. He calculated carefully and found that he now had nearly 10 gold coins. He felt a little excited, so he decided not to do anything today.
Take another mission and take a day off.
After coming out of the mercenary guild, I didn’t know where to go, so I just walked along the street casually. The crowded streets did not become unusual because of Yalic’s appearance, and they were still lively.
But after walking for a while, Yaliqi's sensitive ears heard a shout coming from the front. Looking for some excitement, he walked towards the source of the sound.
It turns out that there is a market not far ahead. The difference is that it is not just selling horses and other livestock. The place with the loudest shouts is actually selling slaves. The surrounding area is blocked by people. Push forward with all your strength.
After squeezing around, I realized why this side was the loudest and had the most people watching.
Because two unusual slaves were brought here today. I heard someone said they were from a clan of strong men. Yalic was not very tall. He weighed his toes and saw a small wooden platform inside.
, there are two cages above, with two skinny people in them, whose faces can’t be seen, and then a bearded man stands in front of the cage, shouting loudly...
"Have you seen it? This is the strongman clan. They are born with great strength and are extremely difficult to catch. This time we also spent a lot of effort to catch a few. The others were already bought on the way back.
Now that we're gone, these two are the only ones left. Do you want any of them? I can buy them back for you to look after your home and do hard work in the nursing home. Each one only sells for two gold coins, which is cheaper than buying a cow. If you want it, hurry up and sell it.
Ah. It won’t happen if it’s too late.”
After hearing what he said, someone in the crowd below asked: "What you said is so evil. What if you buy it back and they run away? What if you say they are so powerful that they hurt someone?"
"Haha, you can rest assured about this. You only need to feed them a few steamed buns a day, so that they can still help you work without starving to death. They eat a lot, how can they escape when they are hungry, haha, and look."
The bearded man reached into the cage and grabbed the hair of one of the people, pulled his head up, revealing a dying face, with a ◎-shaped symbol printed on his forehead, and then said, "There are marks printed on the heads.
You can tell he's a slave just by looking at him, so whatever you're worried about is nothing to worry about."
At this time, someone else below said: "Hahaha, it's better to raise a dog. Dogs won't betray. You said so, haha..." After coaxing, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the audience.
"This..." The bearded man also sensed what he was talking about and was about to speak again.
"I bought it." A voice came from the audience. Everyone, including the bearded man, looked at the source of the voice to see which fool said it. Even the two slaves in the cage looked up.
, maybe they want to see what the person who can provide them with food in the future looks like.
Now everyone was really paying attention, and Yaliqi's face suddenly turned red again, hot and fiery, and then he said with certainty: "I bought it...
