Chapter 41 Special Talent

As one of the fortresses of the Arthurlanka Empire, Sag City is far more prosperous than Manan City. Although there are many ordinary civilians, there are more mercenary adventurers entering and leaving the city gate.

Street people can see adventurers with weapons everywhere. Occasionally, they can also see people with a monster next to them. Whenever one appears, people on the street will look at it subconsciously, and most of them have expressions of envy on their faces.

Gu Yan looked around curiously, a small head was exposed on his chest, and he turned the small head to look around like him. It was the Shadow Wing Tiger after the mimicry, and then the dark night. It was originally small, and after the mimicry, only The fist is so big that it's impossible to find it if you don't pay attention.

When Rex turned around, he saw a man and a beast turning their heads, the pace was almost the same, and the two pairs of eyes were quite wide open, which was surprisingly harmonious.

Maxim didn't notice that Rex had stopped, his forehead touched his shoulder, and the dark night in his arms made a groaning sound, as if it was the one who hit it, seeing Maxim looking down at it, big blue eyes There was excitement in it, and at that moment, Motto seemed to think that he had raised a husky.

"Don't you want to go to the Mage Guild?" Gu Yan stuffed his head back into his clothes and focused his attention on Rex. When he looked over, Rex had withdrawn his gaze.

"It's here," Rex said.

Motto followed his line of sight and saw a plaque with the words "Magician Guild" written on it. He thought that the place that sounded very imposing should be a very imposing and majestic building like the Mercenary Guild, and it covered an area of It's very big and very conspicuous, but when I really see it, I find that I think too much.

The magician guild in front of them didn't even have half of the mercenary guild. Although the location was relatively conspicuous, it was not prominent enough, and there were not as many people entering and leaving as the mercenary guild.

When the two walked in, it was also empty and there were not many people. When Motto went in, he only saw a young man with a lazy expression. The young man yawned and looked drowsy and confused. He didn't notice any guests coming in.

"Why are there so few people?" Gu Yan couldn't help asking.

"Sag City is not a big city after all, and it is a fortress close to the forest of monsters. A pure magician will not come here to die." Before Motto understood what this sentence meant, Rex walked towards the young man, and in the clean Knocked on the table.

The young man woke up in an instant, with an impeccable smile on his face, a perfect face change, "Hello, may I ask how I can help you."

Rex pointed to the motto: "He wants to test his talent." The

young man's eyes shifted . When it comes to Motto, the smile remains the same: "If you test talent, you need to pay a fee, you can pay it after the test, only one kind of magic talent needs to pay five gold coins, more than two kinds of gold coins are not charged, if there is no problem, please go inside, since Someone will take you to the test."

Rex nodded and walked inside with the motto.

"What is the pure magician you just said?" Maxim asked as he walked.

Rex thought that he didn't know anything, and explained in a rare way: "It's just the talent of a magician, you can't become a swordsman. Sag City is attacked by the wave of monsters every year. The magician can only cast magic, and his physique is too weak. , so very few magicians come to Sag City, and there are not many civilians here. Once the talent is tested, in order to give their children a better environment, parents will choose to leave." The

test here is generally whether there is a magician talent . At the age of seven, there are very few adults to test, unless conditions do not allow, such as poverty, or other special circumstances.

After listening to the motto, he suddenly thought of a question, "I won't be a pure magician, will I?" He didn't want to be a weak man, but he also felt that he didn't seem to have the talent of a swordsman.

"Jimmy is a swordsman."

"That's good, isn't this the so-called dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?" Maxim asked enthusiastically, sounding cool.

Rex glanced at him with a strange look, "It's not surprising that there are a lot of people practicing both magic and martial arts."

"Huh?"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a mage robe came over. It was the person the young man said. His name was Mars. He was a pure magician. Knowing that they were here to test his talent, Mars briefly introduced himself. , then take them to the test place.

It is a relatively large hall, because no one seems to be empty. There is a stone platform in the center. On the stone platform is a crystal ball the size of a durian. The crystal ball is transparent. An ordinary glass bead, it seems nothing special at first glance.

Mars asked Motto to put his hand on the crystal ball and input the Qi in his body into the crystal ball, and the crystal ball would show his talent through induction.

Different talents have different colors. For example, fire talent is red. The brighter the color, the better the talent and the easier it will be to learn in the future. Yellow represents soil, blue represents water, cyan represents wind, and green represents wood. Wait, there is no natural reaction without talent.

Gu Yan was a little nervous in his heart, for fear that he did not have the talent in this area, he closed his eyes according to what Mars said, and soon felt a warm current and guided it into the crystal ball.

The crystal ball began to emit a dazzling light, illuminating the main hall as if it were daytime, and even the corners were not spared. After a short while, the crystal ball suddenly turned into a vast ocean, like deep blue sea water surging inside, sending out The light is very bright.

Mars showed a little surprised expression. It was the first time he saw such a bright blue. This young man was undoubtedly a talent for the water element. Not only that, but looking at its brightness, his talent was still very high in the water magic. Just as Mars thought When he spoke, the crystal ball changed again, and the gentle blue water turned into a bright green like a low tide.

At the same time, the airflow in the space seemed to have changed. With the motto as the center, the water and wood elements in the air actually entered his body little by little.

Mars' chin almost fell to the ground, and his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets in the next second. The whole person was dumbfounded. After a long while, he rubbed his eyes with his hands. , the magic element in the air is also real.

In fact, dual-type talent is not a rare talent. There are more than a dozen dual-type magic geniuses discovered from Mars, and there is even a three-type magician, but he has never encountered a water element and a wood element at the same time. Magical people, especially those who can evoke the magical elements in the air, indicate that the other party has the body of the element, and it is also the body of the two elements of water and wood. This talent plus the body of the element represents a kind of person, and they all become The most honorable person in the Azeroth Continent, therefore, Mars is shocked by how rare this talent is.

The air then calmed down, and the green light in the crystal ball dissipated, but the crystal ball was still glowing, but this time there was no color. After a while, the crystal ball gradually dimmed.

Mars only looked at the shock and didn't notice this phenomenon. When he looked at the motto again, in addition to envy, there was more respect in his eyes.

Rex noticed.

Chapter 42 Noble Occupation

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, blue and green represent the water element and the wood element respectively. Since I came to Sag City, I haven't seen anyone with these two talents for many years. I didn't expect to see another honorable person in my lifetime. The Beast Tamer is born." Mars blushed with excitement, and a distinguished Beast Tamer was discovered from him. As long as this matter spreads, their Magician Guild will definitely attract more people. .

Maxim's expression did not reveal the reaction that Mars expected. He blinked, as if he didn't understand what it meant, "Is the animal trainer very powerful?" The

passionate Mars: "..."

Lake who knows the truth Si suddenly coughed.

Mars re-examined Motto again. He always thought Motto was a person who had suffered a change, so he didn't come to test his talent until now. You must know that you can only find the right medicine if you know what your talent is, so even commoners will try their best. The method is to save five gold coins before the child is seven years old, because the earlier the practice is, the better it is for the child.

But finding that he didn't even know what a trainer was, Mars had to suspect that he came from a corner, and that place might be extremely backward.

Thinking like this, he didn't have any thoughts of despising Motto. Azeroth was not a powerhouse without a humble background. Mars immediately straightened his face and began to explain to Motto what a Beast Tamer was.

"Since Your Excellency is not clear, then let me explain it to you. Only those with two magical talents, water and wood elements, and those with water element or wood element are qualified to become animal trainers. Both of your talents are extremely high. Excellent, which means that you can become a very powerful animal trainer in the future."

"The animal trainer, as the name suggests, is to domesticate monsters. Your Excellency also knows that monsters are rebellious, especially monsters with higher strength, such as High-level beasts, holy beasts and the like, so it is difficult for humans to make contracts with beasts that have not been domesticated. Later, beast trainers appeared. Anyone who has been domesticated by beast trainers can contract with them without any risk. Maxim couldn't help but wonder, "

Are there very few animal trainers?"

"Naturally, there are no more than 1,000 animal trainers that I know of, and according to records, the chance of a person possessing these two kinds of talent appearing is one in a billion, second only to the magician and martial arts masters. "

Motto suddenly took a breath, one in a billion, he actually won this big prize, knowing that he should have bought a lottery ticket in his previous life, this probability was met by him, and what kind of big prize could not be won.

"According to you, I am developed?"

Mars looked at him with a smile, "That's why I congratulate your Excellency, the position of the animal trainer in the Azeroth continent is very noble, and few people dare to offend the animal trainer. If your Excellency encounters any difficulties in the future, as long as you show your identity as a beast trainer, the other party will definitely not dare to embarrass you again, not only that, they will even have to please you."

Motto imagined the scene of a group of people crawling under his feet, suddenly Laugh out loud.

Rex: "..."

Mars didn't think there was anything wrong with him laughing like this, if he would laugh too, he added: "Because Your Excellency has tested a dual-element talent, according to the guild's regulations, you don't have to hand in five coins. Gold coins, in addition to many discounts from the Magician Guild, please follow me to go through the formalities."

Usually, after identifying the talent of a magician, the Guild will issue them a badge, which is divided into five categories according to the level, the lowest The highest level badge can only enjoy one kind of discount, that is, there is no need to pay the city fee, and there are more discounts. The highest level badge is the diamond badge.

Mars wanted to give Motto a diamond badge, but for some reason, their Mage Guild did not have this permission for the time being, and it would take a while to apply, so the badge that can be given to him at present is the fourth-level crystal badge. Although it is one level lower than the diamond badge, the privileges he can enjoy are also very high. As far as he knows, there are not many crystal badges sent by the Mage Guild. Of course, if Maxim wants a diamond badge, he can also submit it to the above. Application.

After listening to his words, Maxim asked the time of application, and learned that it was at least a month, and immediately lost interest. They were not going to stay in Sag City, so a month would definitely not work.

"You don't have to worry. As your animal trainer, it is not difficult to apply for another diamond badge in the future, and this diamond badge is just icing on the cake for you." The

implication is that the animal trainer's Status is noble enough.

He was in a good mood for the motto, and he didn't care that much about the diamond badge.

The young man in front of the counter learned that he turned out to be a noble animal trainer. He was a little annoyed that he had dozed off before and failed to make a good impression. After completing the formalities, Maxim and Rex left the Magician Guild together.

Mars watched them leave, and immediately put away the smile on his face, and said to the young man with a serious face: "Send this news to the headquarters immediately, a new animal trainer has appeared, I have a hunch that this young man will definitely be there in the future. The continent of Azeroth is a blockbuster, and our Magician Guild must not be an enemy of him."

The young man nodded earnestly, and he thought so too. There hasn't been a new animal trainer in Azeroth for many years. At this juncture, a talent suddenly appeared, and he didn't know what it meant.

Leaving the Mage Guild, Maxim suddenly asked Rex: "How did you know I had this talent before?"

He thought that when Rex made him contract with the Shadow Tiger in Tasha Forest, it is impossible for him to have a prophet. It's even more impossible for Jimmy to tell him that if he has the talent of a beast trainer, he will definitely not hide it. He has long been known to everyone, and the people of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group will not look down on him. I'm afraid that he would like to hold him in the palm of his hand, so he dares to conclude that this talent may be discovered because of his arrival.

Rex's expression did not change, but he just asked back: "Do you know why the talent of the animal trainer is water and wood, and not others?"

Maxim thought for a while, "Is it related to the domestication of beasts?"

Rex said : "The water element is the softest of all the elements, and the wood element represents nature. The combination of the two elements can make the beasts feel good and close to the beast tamers, so they can domesticate the beasts."

"I see, The dark night was close to me that day, so you suspected that I had the talent of a beast trainer, so you asked me to contract it, and then I didn't expect it to succeed immediately, so you can confirm your guess, right?" The motto is inseparable.

"Dark night?" Rex raised his eyebrows.

Maxim immediately laughed, "Yeah, I named the Shadow Wing Tiger Dark Night, how about it, isn't it very domineering?"

Rex glanced at Dark Night, who was turning a stupid head on his neck, the name It is indeed domineering, but it also depends on the object, he let out a faint hum.

Gu Yan thought that he also liked this name very much, pointed to the egg behind him and said, "I took the name of the dark night. After it breaks its shell, it will be named for you."

"It doesn't matter."

Chapter 43 Earth Scorpion Lauren

The two were preparing to go back when there was a loud noise in front of them. It happened to be at the door of the mercenary union. They were always noisy like this. People passing by were not surprised. , suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.

"It's that guy, that's Frank." Maxim grabbed Rex's arm suddenly with excitement.

Rex subconsciously wanted to break away. He was not used to being touched, but in the end, he endured it and followed his gaze. Sure enough, he saw Frank who escaped from him at the door of the mercenary union. There seemed to be a dispute with people at this point.

Compared with the high-spirited man at the time, Frank is living a miserable life now. He looks like a withered person and looks like two different people. His forehead is covered with a haze, and his whole person looks gloomy and gloomy. In less than a month, I actually fell to this step, as if I had experienced the most tragic thing in the world in this month.

Maxim was thinking about how to deal with this person. Seeing such a miserable side of him, he suddenly felt that they did not need to come forward, and this person could not threaten them.

Frank is a conceited person. This is because he has high talent and strength, so he has been living smoothly for the first 30 years, and the people around him have followed his lead, which makes him feel superior, but since he went to the tower In the sand forest, his life was like a sudden turn, and an earth-shaking change took place in an instant.

The companion who died in the Tasha Forest was the younger brother of one of his friends. After the friend knew that his younger brother was dead, he accused him of taking people away but not bringing them back. He wanted to break up with him, and he encouraged others to target Frank. In fact, he never regarded them as real friends, and even thought that it would be better. After he sold the news, he would not have to share the benefits with them.

At that time, he already knew that the two mercenary groups of the crow and the black wolf had not found the shadow-winged tiger. He expected that the cub of the holy beast would definitely fall into the hands of Rex and Maxim. Although he did not know who they were, he could take this The news was sold to them, and with their concern for the holy beast, he could make a lot of money.

He just waited for him to leave Tasha Forest, but found that the black crow had left the town of Tris, and the black wolf mercenary group also left. It was said that he was going to return to the imperial capital, so he chased after him and finally reached Manan City, but heard about them again. After going to the Forest of Monsters, Frank did not dare to go to the Forest of Monsters alone, so he had to wait for them in Sag City.

Then it happened again.

Frank found that there was a problem with his body. Whenever he was running the Qi in his body, he would feel a blockage. As time went on, the blockage became clearer. Frank finally panicked. He found a person who was good at healing. Magician, ask him to help check what's wrong with his body.

The magician didn't find any problems and couldn't help him. Frank had to look around for someone to find a solution, but he was targeted. The other party deceived him on the grounds that he had encountered a similar situation. The problem, I was fooled without careful confirmation, all the gold coins on my body were deceived by the other party, and then the person disappeared.

Frank, who had nowhere to go, couldn't even get enough to eat three meals a day, so he had to come to the mercenary union, ready to take on the task to make money, but before the task was received, he got into trouble with the notorious Earth Scorpion mercenary group. The Earth Scorpions are a third-rate mercenary group. Their leader is called Lauren, a senior swordsman. This person's greatest ability is to bully the weak. He mainly hangs in Sag City and often targets some weaker adventurers, especially It's a show of wealth. Although Frank is almost running out of food for three meals, he pays great attention to his appearance, so he is being watched. If it was in the past, Frank didn't need to be afraid of a third-rate mercenary group at all, but today is different from the past, when the tiger fell flat and the sun was bullied by the dog, he was no longer the Frank who could show his prestige. Seeing Lauren's rough face showing a naked blackmail expression and the expressions of onlookers watching a good show, Frank felt a little humiliated, but after weighing the strengths of both sides, he finally chose to compromise. "I don't have any gold coins on me, but I have a way for you to get a lot of gold coins, but this way can't be known by other people, otherwise it will be useless." Frank said in a low voice. "What are you saying is true? You don't want to lie to me, do you?" Lauren snorted coldly.

A trace of disgust flashed in Frank's eyes, and he said impatiently, "How could I lie to you after all this? Only I know this method, and I don't need to pay any price. If you know it's later, you won't have a chance."

Lauren was still dubious, but he expected that he would not be able to make any big waves, so he asked his subordinates to take him out of the door of the mercenary union first.

The motto outside the crowd did not hear their whispered conversation, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing, maybe it had something to do with them, and he heard Rex say "keep up" before he even opened his mouth.

Lauren took Frank to an alley where no one came in, and asked his subordinates to release Frank, and said in a rough voice: "Now you can talk."

Frank rubbed his shoulders and spat in his heart, and only then did Tasha Forest I told him about the holy beast cub, but he was very wise to keep an eye on it, "As long as you tell the crow mercenary group this news, they will definitely agree to this deal for the holy beast cub."

He concealed After the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, this is a way he left for himself, but if he knows that the Black Wolf Mercenary Group is now only left with the head of Locke, and his position as head of the group is not guaranteed at any time, he will probably I don't think so anymore. "Why are you so sure that the Crow Mercenary Group will agree?" Lauren is not stupid. If the Crow Mercenary Group thinks it's not worth it, he won't get any benefits. Frank had already thought about what to do, and vowed: "Of course I'm sure, because that holy beast cub is the task of the crow mercenary group, think about it for yourself, a task that was originally failed suddenly has a turnaround, they will not Do you agree? If they hadn't suddenly gone to the Warcraft Forest, and I would have arrived in Sag City later, I would have approached the door to make a deal with them, and I heard that they were leaving Sag City." Lauren did hear that After this incident, I immediately believed what he said. If this happened, he became prosperous. The crow mercenary group is not a third-rate mercenary group. Wealth in exchange for this important news. "Okay, I will trust you for the time being, but if you dare to lie to me, I will surely make you regret it for the rest of your life. Get out."

Frank breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, didn't dare to say more, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Lauren stopped him again.

Frank suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, turned around and frowned and said, "What else?"

Lauren suddenly felt that he couldn't just let him go. He wanted to make sure that what the other party said was true, he couldn't afford to offend the crow. The mercenary group immediately said domineeringly: "I've decided, you can't leave now, wait until I send someone to inquire about the news and come back."

Frank suddenly turned cold, "What do you mean?"

"I want to be sure . You didn't lie to me, that's what you meant." Lauren narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "Or is it because the news is fake, so you're in a hurry to leave?"

"Whatever you want, what I said is true anyway. Just look it up and you can find it." Frank's face was instantly gloomy like a black cloud, he didn't deceive Lauren, of course he didn't have to worry, but he wiped out the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, he was worried that the other party would think of this , but he was afraid that he would anger Lauren if he insisted on leaving.

Seeing that he didn't mention the matter of leaving, Lauren hummed, and immediately ordered his men to investigate the matter.

This conversation was heard by Maxim and Rex. Although he had a premonition, he did not expect Frank to tell the people of the Earth Scorpion mercenary group about the holy beast cub in their hands. Come on, even if Frank only mentioned the Raven Mercenary Group, as long as he mentioned their physical characteristics, the people of the Raven Mercenary Group might not think of them.

"This is trouble, is there any way to stop them?" Motto couldn't help regretting knowing that he should have stopped before Frank said it.

Rex still had that expressionless expression, his deep eyes just stared at the direction they were leaving, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Motto could not understand.

The people sent by Lauren came back soon. What happened in the Tasha Forest has already been spread here, and it is not difficult to find out the accurate news.

The news brought by his subordinates is not too different from what Frank said. Of course, there is an additional black wolf mercenary group. The incident in Stranglethorn Vale has now spread. Frank seems to have no doubts when he sees Lauren. Take a breath.

"Well, I'm right, I can go now." Frank said confidently.

Lauren was overjoyed by the news, and when he heard his words, he did not embarrass Frank any more. The fierce expression turned to a smile, "Okay, you can go."

Frank immediately stood up, strode away, and walked out of the hotel. Speed ​​up the pace and slow down after making sure no one is catching up. Holding the wall, he couldn't help his legs soften a bit. Fortunately, Lauren is greedy, otherwise his little life will be explained here.

Frank wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and suddenly a wicked expression appeared on his face. He made a decision in his heart. He decided to go to the Crow Mercenary Group now. Lauren dared to threaten him like this. He is not a kind person, anyway, Azer La Continent was so big, and when he left Sag City, he would not be able to find him with the Di Scorpion mercenary group. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone call his name.

"Frank."

Chapter 44 This sword is too dull

The clear voice carried the vigor of young people. Frank turned his head subconsciously and saw a young man standing at the entrance of the alley. The golden sunlight fell on his head, like a halo, and the young man smiled at him.

Frank's complexion suddenly changed, he recognized this young man, and it was their credit for him to fall into such a situation, a ferocious flashed in his eyes, he did not forget the man with the young man, even if he turned into ashes, he could not forget it. .

where is that man

Frank's eyes swept behind the young man, and he looked around again in shock. He didn't find the figure of the man. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking out of the corner behind the young man. The backlit body was instantly tall. Several times, adding a bit of breathless pressure to the cramped alley.

Seeing Rex, Frank inevitably thought of the tragic situation of that day in his mind. At that time, he was at his best and couldn't beat a man, let alone now.

A voice in his head clamored for him to run quickly, these two people suddenly came to the door, it was impossible to just chat with him, and when he didn't come, it happened to find him at this time, and he intuitively told Frank that the other party was coming. Not good, so he ran away.

Maxim stood there and waited for Rex, and he would not participate in the next thing.

In less than ten minutes, Rex's figure appeared in the direction leading to the depths of the alley, walking steadily towards him, not a drop of blood on his hands, clothes, and face, but he could smell a faint trace of him. The smell of blood, I have never noticed that my nose is so sensitive before.

"Solved?" Maxim asked, looking at Rex who came to his side, with a normal expression on his face that seemed to have adapted to the cruel laws of this world.

Rex nodded, "Let's go."

It's time to complete the next goal.

Lauren of the Earth Scorpion Mercenary Group is not as stupid as Frank thinks. On the contrary, he is a very clever person, especially in matters related to money, so after Frank left, Lauren immediately sent the previous dispatch. The subordinates who went to inquire about the news called to him and asked a few questions, and then showed a hint of meaningful playfulness and cruelty.

"That Frank regarded Lao Tzu as a fool. I really thought Lao Tzu didn't know. At that time, it was not only the crow mercenary group that was vying for the holy beast. Locke, the head of the black wolf mercenary group, cared more about the holy beast than the black crow."

"Boss, Then we are not rich. I heard that the black wolf mercenary group has higher financial resources than the crow mercenary group. When they wanted to find someone, they offered a reward of 1,000 gold coins for a message. We should be able to get tens of thousands of gold coins. Let's get the reward." The subordinate said excitedly, secretly calculating.

Lauren grinned, "What is 10,000 gold coins, that's a holy beast cub, a powerful magical beast that can't be measured by gold coins, at least 100,000 gold coins."

"Boss is right, so should we go to find it first? Black Wolf Mercenary Group?"

"Yes, that Frank deliberately didn't say it, he must be fighting the Black Wolf Mercenary Group's idea, we can sell the news to them before him, and then go to the Raven Mercenary after getting the gold coins. It's not too late for the Corps."

Lauren and his men thought it was a very smart decision, but they didn't know that because of their decision, they gave Rex and Motto a chance.

The place where the crow mercenary group temporarily lived was in a lively street market. It was a crowded place all the way. Rex had no chance to start. The black wolf mercenary group was different. They had a permanent property in Sag City. , it just so happens that it is not in a place with many people, so it is bound to pass through an unmanned path, and that is where they start.

The people of the Earth Scorpion mercenary group were very conspicuous, and when they walked into the line of sight of the two of them, Maxim found it immediately.

"Come, come, they're here."

Lauren didn't bring all his subordinates over. There were only seven people in a rough count. Except for himself, who was a high-level swordsman, everyone else was an intermediate-level swordsman or below. Yes, it was so appalling that even the motto didn't find it difficult at all.

Rex jumped off the wall, his movements were so light that he didn't make a sound, even Lauren, the senior swordsman, didn't notice it until he turned a corner and found a person standing in the middle of the road. The other party didn't let him. open meaning.

"Who are you?" Lauren stopped, staring at Rex with a stern look.

Rex looked at Lauren coldly and walked towards him without saying a word.

Lauren immediately drew his sword, pointed at Rex and said with a murderous face: "Stop, don't come over, or don't blame me for being rude."

Rex raised the sword as if he didn't hear it, and slashed without saying a word.

Lauren raised the sword to block it. With a bang, the sword broke. Half of the blade fell to the ground and was inserted into the gap of the slate. After shaking it a few times, it stopped moving. Lauren never knew that her weapon was so fragile. His face changed suddenly.

"Are you a great swordsman?"

Above the senior swordsman is the great swordsman. Only a great swordsman who is one level stronger than him can cut off his sword so easily. Lauren immediately persuaded and couldn't understand himself When did he mess with such a powerful person, he wanted to explain that it was a misunderstanding, but Rex didn't give him a chance.

He slashed with a sword, and blood flowed in an instant, and blood splashed on the men who were close to him. When he touched it stupidly, his hands were full of blood. The six scrambled to run back.

Rex chased after him with his sword in hand, almost one at a time.

One of the mercenaries was very smart. He knew that everyone who fled in one direction would die sooner or later, so after running for a while, he immediately turned to the other direction. Looking back, he found that Rex did not catch up. He was overjoyed and turned his head. I found that a young man in front of him jumped down from the wall clunky, and when he saw him, he suddenly showed a happy smile.

"Sorry, you can't go." This man was the motto.

Hearing this, the mercenary's subordinates immediately knew that he and Rex were in the same group. He was afraid of Rex, but not afraid of Motto. Just looking at his actions, he knew that this man was terribly weak, and he rushed towards Motto with murderous aura. .

The motto is indeed a little weak, after all, he has not received any training, but he is not alone, and the dark night jumped out of his arms and spat at the other party.

A purple lightning appeared in the middle and hit the mercenary holding the sword. Although it was not fatal, it made the mercenary lose his mobility and combat effectiveness. He kept his eyes wide open, as if he had discovered some secret, and stared straight at the arrogant dark night sitting in the hands of Maxim.

Motto came over, picked up the sword on the ground and touched the mercenary a few times, making sure that he was no longer able to stand up before he was relieved, and immediately touched Dark Night's head and praised: "Nice job."

Dark Night narrowed his eyes comfortably.

After a while, Rex walked over with a blood-splattered sword in his hand. Seeing that the mercenary on the ground was still alive, and the element of thunder and lightning remained in the air, he knew that he had not shot, and his eyebrows could not help but wrinkle, "Why don't you kill him? He?"

"Wait for you," said the motto.

Rex was unmoved, and gave him a meaningful look: "There is always a first time."

Motto was silent for a while, before saying: "In my original world, murder is illegal."

"You stand now . This piece of land is the continent of Azeroth."

Maxim looked up at the sky with a sigh, his eyes melancholy: "So I'm trying to adapt, don't you see that I've improved a lot?"

"No." Rex said ruthlessly .

"..." Maxim compromised, "Okay, I'll try."

Then he stabbed the mercenary more than a dozen times with the sword in his hand to let him die. Before he died, the eyes of the mercenary showed hopelessness Despair, if I knew it earlier, it would be better to bite my tongue and commit suicide.

Under Rex's strange eyes, Maxim silently threw away the sword, with a look of disgust: "This sword is too dull."

Chapter 45 The Duke

Maxim and Rex returned to their residence, and before they entered, they saw Captain Locke standing at the door. He seemed to be waiting for them. When he saw them coming back, he said that he was going to leave for the imperial capital and left. Crazy, but calm down instead gives a creepy feeling.

"Captain Locke came out of the blow? The expression just now was a little scary." Gu Yan felt that goose bumps were about to appear in retrospect.

"I don't know." Rex stared at the direction that Captain Locke left, and narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The calm head Locke didn't ask them where the others were going. Obviously he should know the reason, and they left Sag City that day.

Because there were only three of them left, the journey went smoothly, neither too fast nor too slow. After more than half a month, they finally returned to the Imperial Capital of Saint Laner.

Saint Raul is the imperial capital of the Arthur Lanca Empire, the largest country in the Azeroth continent, the largest and most prosperous city in the Azeroth continent, the center of the political economy, the famous mercenary union and magic The headquarters of the Master Guild was established here, and some well-known chambers of commerce headquarters were also established in the imperial capital, which was extremely prosperous.

The first time Motto came to the Imperial Capital of Saint Laner, the wonder in his eyes could hardly be hidden. He thought that the city of Sage was already big enough, but he did not expect the Imperial Capital of Saint Laner to be bigger, and it was not enough to describe it as spectacular.

After entering the city, before they had time to visit, Captain Locke took them directly to a place.

Because the imperial capital of Saint Laner was too large, they rented two griffins near the city gate. The griffins flew over the capital, and at a glance, they could not see the end of the capital, showing the vastness of the imperial capital of Saint Laner.

Motto looked down from above, and couldn't help but once again sighed at the grandeur of the imperial capital. All he could see were the beautiful and majestic buildings and the crisscrossing bustling streets.

Griffin's speed is very fast, the huge city gate can't be seen in the blink of an eye, the clouds and mist cover the sight, and the buildings and signs in front of them cannot be seen. He couldn't help but ask Rex, he and Rex rode a griffin together, and the head of Locke was on the griffin in front.

"Where are we going?" The voice of the motto was blown away by the wind, and the head of Locke in front couldn't hear it, but it drifted into Rex's ears in bits and pieces.

"The Strachey family, Carlos' family, are also the masters behind the Black Wolf Mercenary Group." But it's no longer a secret, it's just a tacit understanding.

"Is it because of Carlos' death?"

Rex nodded: "Carlos' father is the head of the Strachey family and is also the duke proclaimed by His Majesty the Emperor, while Carlos' mother is the favored princess of the royal family. , as their son, Carlos' status in the imperial capital of Saint Laner is second only to the prince and princess. His death is naturally a major event, not only the Streich family attaches great importance to it, but also the royal family. Al and Sein, their family status is second only to the Strachey family, and Aleigh is still the only son."

Maxim felt stunned.

Although he knows that their identities are very unusual, as the murderer, can you not say such serious words with such an expression as if their death has nothing to do with you, and you will face being killed by you later Wouldn't the relatives of the deceased feel pressured? He, a non-murderer, has a little pressure.

Maxim was convinced by Rex's composure, knowing that this guy was a non-human, but still underestimated him.

"Do you think Carlos' father would doubt us?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Rex answered without hesitation.

It is impossible for the head of Strachey to believe that his son will die so easily with a few words. The doubt is certain, but it is only doubt.

The motto was like his breath was taken away by his word, "What should I do?"

Seemingly aware of his anxiety, Rex rarely reassured him, "Don't worry, just follow what we said before, and I will do the rest. There are arrangements."

Motto stared at his face, as if he wanted to see a little problem from his expression, to prove whether he was really sure, but Rex's facial paralysis was not trained all the time, and it was so easy for him to see it. , In the end, I had no choice but to trust him based on past experience. From knowing him, Rex seemed to have everything in mind, and this time should be no exception.

After half a day, they finally saw the Strachey family's mansion. It was a huge building, as gorgeous as a palace, covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 acres, which was amazingly vast.

There are very few people here, and the nearby streets are empty. This is because the northern part of the imperial capital of Saint Laner is where the palace is located, and noble families like Strachey are also located in the north. The reason why the palace cannot be seen, It's just because the area of ​​the imperial capital of Saint Laner is too vast, and the area of ​​only one north is several times that of a Sag city.

Because they were about to approach the Strachey family, the griffins were not allowed to fly in the sky, so they landed at the nearest place, and then they had to take a carriage to go there, otherwise they would have to walk for a long time.

Captain Locke was sitting in the same carriage with them. Maxim didn't dare to speak to Rex again, and he was quiet for a while, only to hear the sound of vehicles running over the ground outside.

Just as he was about to arrive, Captain Locke suddenly said, "After you see the Duke, remember not to talk nonsense."

Maxim was stunned, and looked at the warning sight of Captain Locke, with a hint of faintness. With a sharp, threatening tone, I suddenly understood a little, it seems that the head of Locke has not given up.

He didn't respond, and neither did Rex, as if he didn't hear him.

There was a flash of anger in Captain Locke's eyes, and he wanted to say something, but seemed to have scruples. In the end, he didn't speak again with a gloomy face until the carriage stopped.

The destination has arrived.

The news of their return had already reached the ears of the Duke, and the entourage of the Duke stood at the door, with a proud expression, as if he did not pay attention to them, glanced at them lightly, and only brought them in after asking their identities.

The size of the Strachey family can only be known when they walk in and walk in in person. Once they entered the gate, they took a carriage. After a while, they stopped. The entourage led them to a yard, told them to wait outside, and then went in to report. , The Duke did not let them wait too long. It was about his son, how could he not care, and soon the entourage came out and told them that the Duke let them in.

The three followed the entourage to the Duke's study.

Motto finally sees the duke who is rumored to be second only to the king and prince of the Arthur Lanka Empire. The duke is very tall and mighty. His innate majesty and the momentum of the superior can make him stand on his feet. The person in front of him was instantly shorter, and it was said that he was still a powerful swordsman.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, someone has brought it here." The entourage looked respectful.

The duke waved him down and waited for the entourage to leave before looking at Captain Locke. The gloomy anger in his eyes made Locke feel pressured, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Locke failed your expectations, please convict the Duke."

The attitude of admitting mistakes was very good, which surprised him by thinking that he would play tricks on their maxims, thinking that he had guessed wrong.

The duke suddenly swept the books on the table towards Captain Locke, he didn't hide his anger, turned around and said angrily: "Locke, what did I say when I handed Carlos to you, I asked you to protect it Take care of his safety, what did you do to let him die tragically in the Tasha Forest? It was a waste of my trust in you, you have disappointed me so much."

"The Duke wants to punish Locke, Locke has nothing to say about this matter. It is indeed my dereliction of duty, but there are some things I have to say." Locke looked up at Christopher with a firm expression and a straight back.

The Duke looked unpredictable, and the anger on his face had almost subsided at this time, as if the scene where he almost lost his temper was just an illusion, he said: "For the sake of your hard work in the past, I will give you a chance to explain. "

Captain Locke didn't say it right away, he gave Motto and Rex a suggestive glance.

The Duke then told them to wait outside, and the two closed the door and whispered.

Maxim followed Rex out of the study, and the two stood in the corridor. Because there was only a wall between them, he was afraid of being overheard. It didn't take long for them to go in again.

Captain Locke has changed from kneeling to standing, and his face has no previous fear, and his eyes are slightly smug looking at them.

This scene made Maxim's heart sink. The little bitch, Captain Locke, must have said something unfavorable to them. Thinking of the Lord Duke's trust in him, it seems that there is no need to guess who he will believe.

Chapter 46 Calculation

"Locke said that you encouraged Carlos to go to Tasha Forest, is this true?" The duke's deep and indistinct voice sounded in the study, with the majesty of a superior, his eyes looked at the motto.

Captain Locke looked at the duke in amazement, but when he wanted to speak, he found that the duke was not looking at him, so he had to suppress his doubts.

Maxim's surprise is no less than that of Captain Locke. These words are too straightforward. If they were prepared to talk about it at the beginning, there was no need to let them out just now. Thinking of this, his speed of rebuttal was not slow. Like Captain Locke, he knelt on the ground with a plop, his knees hurt so much that the villain in his heart groaned, but his face showed a terrified expression.

"Patriarch, of course this isn't true. I didn't instigate Master Carlos. It was already clear at the time that someone in the mercenary group said something was leaking, and they were caught. Head of Locke even put them on the spot. Rex can also testify."

Regarding the matter of life, the maxim dare not be vague at all, and the acting is so realistic that it is close to full marks.

"Lord Duke, he lied, he and Rex were originally in the same group." Captain Locke immediately defended loudly, and glared at Gu Mian secretly.

Maxim trembled with fear, squatting his neck with a face of dissatisfaction: "I'm not lying, Rex can't testify, and there are other members, head of the regiment, you can't shirk the blame on us innocents in order to protect yourself, the head of the family. The lord is so wise and martial, I believe he must determine who is lying."

Captain Locke choked his breath, caught sight of the duke's gloomy and unpredictable face, and immediately glared at him fiercely: "I will accept the punishment for my responsibility, But Carlos can't die in vain. No one knows whether what you said is true or not except you. As for the other people you said, those people announced their departure from the black wolf in Sag City that day for fear of being punished. The mercenary group, they are all deserters and will be dealt with sooner or later."

"I just said why you warned us not to talk nonsense before, it turned out that you planned to frame the death of Master Carlos on me and Rex, Captain Locke. , I have always respected you very much, I didn't expect you to be such a person." Maxim quarreled with him without fear.

"Captain Locke, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Before my father asked me to join the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, he praised you very much. This is one of the reasons why I yearn for the Black Wolf Mercenary Group. ." Rex also stood up.

"You..." Captain Locke pointed at them in astonishment.

"Enough!" interrupted the Duke sharply.

Captain Locke was startled, and when he met the eyes of the duke with deep and heavy anger, the whole person seemed to be poured with cold water, and his whole body was chilled. He thought that the duke believed him, but now he is not sure. .

The Duke's gloomy tone made Captain Locke dare not speak any more, and the motto that achieved the goal was also quieted, trying to reduce his sense of existence. He is not worried now, and the real murderer Rex is not worried, what good is he? worried.

"Locke, I'm very disappointed in you. At this time, you just want to put the blame on others. Do you really think I don't know anything?" The Duke stared blankly at Captain Locke, Carlos It's the youngest son he loves the most, but he's already dead. He has no other choice but to hurt. No matter what he does, Carlos' life can't be saved, so he doesn't want to lose another capable subordinate because of this. What's more, Locke is still a ninth-level swordsman. As long as he is given a chance, he will become a great swordsman sooner or later, and he will be able to do more things for him in the future.

The Duke's original plan was to temporarily remove one of his team leaders, discipline him for a period of time, and give his wife an explanation. After the impact of Carlos's death fades, he will find a chance to reuse him again. , in order to avoid punishment, Captain Locke put the blame on Motto and Rex, which disappointed the Duke very much. If he hadn't known what happened in advance, I'm afraid he would also be deceived.

Captain Locke took a step back in shock, how could the Duke know?

The Duke knew what he was thinking at a glance, and snorted coldly, his voice angry: "Colin and the others have already told me about it, do you still want to lie to me again?"

"Locke knows it's wrong, Lord Duke, please forgive me this time for the sake of my life and death for you. Locke will never dare again." Captain Locke knelt on the ground in panic and lowered his head deeply. , panicked to the point of not being able to.

"If it wasn't for your loyalty to me, I would have killed you long ago." The duke hated it.

Afterwards, the process of Motto and Rex being left by the Duke to ask about the matter, he was more detailed and in-depth than what Captain Locke asked, but Rex took these questions into consideration, and the two answered them without any leakage, plus Colin, etc. People's assists, the Duke finally dispelled their doubts.

After leaving the Strachey family, Gu Yan felt relieved. The Duke's eyes were too deep and penetrating, as if he could read people's hearts, and he didn't dare to look at such a big man.

"Did you already know about Colin?" Maxim looked at the calm and steady Rex, thinking of what he said before, and suddenly had a guess.

Rex nodded unsurprisingly, "Members of the mercenary group who disobeyed the commander were the same as deserters. Colin and the others did not want to be punished and had to report to the Duke before Locke."

"Just based on this inference? What if Colin didn't have this IQ? ?" Gu Yan thought about it and felt that the risk was too great.

"I never do anything I'm not sure about." The

first second he didn't understand, the next moment his eyes widened and he stared at him like a ghost. He found that Rex always thought about everything when he was dealing with one thing. It's far away. He hadn't even thought about these things, but he even thought about the solution. Maybe Colin and the others will leave under his calculations. It's too scary. Otherwise, I don't know what happened when I die.

The two left the Strachey family in the original carriage and got off the bus when they reached a lively street.

Standing on the busy street, the motto suddenly became messy. He suddenly remembered a very important thing, and subconsciously grabbed Rex who was about to walk forward, "Wait a minute."

Rex turned back, very aggressive His gaze fell on the hand he was holding onto his own.

Motto let go of his hand subconsciously as if he was scalded, and smiled awkwardly.

"What else?" Rex asked calmly with his sharp eyes closed.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yan asked quickly.

"Go back." Gu Yan

showed a mourning expression, "What about me?"

Rexton stopped, remembering that this person had already changed his soul, even if he didn't even know where Jimmy's house was, Mei Feng couldn't help but gather between his brows , He doesn't really know Jimmy's family very well. He may have seen one or two times before Tris Town because of Carlos, but he never took it to heart. He glanced at the expectant expression of Motto, saying that he wanted to find a way. Suddenly a little speechless.

In the end, he didn't let go of the words and let the words follow him back, but he couldn't send him back to Jimmy's original home. I was afraid that he would be ganged up in a while. If things got into the ears of the Duke, he would think that the words had lost his memory, so what he said before Naturally, how can a person with amnesia tell the process, and the final result of the negotiation is to go to a hotel or a tavern.

Maxim doesn't know anything and has no gold coins on him, so Rex can only lead him to find a place to live as a father and mother.

Chapter 47: Young Il

The most lively place in the imperial capital of Saint Laner is the city center, especially the downtown area. The streets there are extremely wide and can accommodate more than a dozen carriages in parallel, and it is not crowded. Its magnificence is not at the same level as Sag City at all, making it dazzling to see the real prosperity of this world for the first time.

There were a lot of people on the road. When they first arrived, they quickly passed over the sky in a griffin. From above, they were all densely packed with small black dots, and they couldn't feel the prosperity of the imperial capital at all.

However, due to the prosperity of the imperial capital, there are many streets in the downtown area, criss-crossing and densely packed, and even if it takes three days and three nights, you may not be able to complete a third of it.

"Aren't we going to find a place to live?" Maxim followed Rex all the way and found that he had passed several pubs, but Rex didn't stop, and finally couldn't help but speak, he didn't really know where he lived. Pick, as long as you have a comfortable bed and a good meal.

Rex responded, "Don't stay here."

Maxim was about to ask why, when suddenly there was a burst of exclamations in front of him, as if something had happened, and immediately a group of people gathered around to watch, and the wide street immediately It was blocked by two-thirds, and even people who were not interested in walking over would still take a subconscious look inside.

The two walked over, and Gu Yan saw that the place being watched was a place to eat, and a few people who seemed to be guys were surrounding a blond young man, speaking with insulting content, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling. Comfortable, but the general process of the whole thing can be heard from their words.

It turned out that this young man ate here, but he didn't have any gold coins to pay the bill after eating. I heard that he wanted to run away, but was found by a sharp-eyed guy, so the two sides quarreled at the door. The young man said that his purse had been stolen, no There was no gold coin to pay the bill. At that time, he didn't want to run away, but he wanted to chase the person who stole his purse, but was stopped by the guy, so he couldn't catch up in time, and the thief ran away without a trace. Young people think it is their fault, and they argue with them.

But the guy in the restaurant thought he was making excuses. There was no so-called thief at all, because he didn't have any gold coins to pay the bill, so he deliberately said this to eat Bawang's meal.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions. The owner of the restaurant was obviously on the side of his buddy. Not only did he not try to persuade him, but he quarreled with the young man. Woke up.

"I don't think the young man is lying, his appearance doesn't look like that kind of person." Gu Yan saw the young man's eyes, those are clear eyes that seem to have not experienced many human accidents, the most important thing is the youthful breath of sunshine, He looks decent, unlike Rex, who is not a good person at first glance.

"What does it have to do with you?" Rex's indifferent expression showed a ruthless expression, and he didn't look like a good person. He glanced at him lightly, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Maxim grabbed his clothes, and immediately said when Rex looked over: "Anyway, don't worry, it won't take much time to look at it again, don't you want to know who is lying? "

This topic turned a little far-fetched, because he could see that most of what the young man said was the truth, so how could Rex not see it.

Just before Rex could answer, the youth and the people in the restaurant started fighting. The first one was the guy who pushed the youth in the restaurant. A group of people beat him. The crowd was afraid of being affected, and they all backed away. No one came forward to help.

Maxim was talking to Rex when he was bumped by the pushing crowd before he had time to back away. He just threw himself into Rex's arms, his fragile nose hit his hard chest, and his eyes suddenly turned red. Drops of saline, bone made of steel? so hard.

Rex looked down and saw a hairy head, looking slightly startled, as if he forgot to push him away.

At this moment, something heavy hit their feet with a groan, and a cry of pain sounded immediately.

Gu Yan covered his nose and looked down when he saw the young man being beaten. The young man really didn't have the ability to be outnumbered, but he was not beaten too badly, because he immediately jumped up vigorously and looked angry.

"You are bullying people because of the number of people. I know, the guy who stole my wallet might be in the same group as you, otherwise, how could a thief suddenly appear in a good restaurant, and that guy stopped me in such a 'timely' way, I think he has been following me 80% of the time, otherwise how could it be so good." The young man was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, as if his nerves had just been connected to the line, these words actually sounded somewhat reasonable.

The owner of the restaurant was so angry that he became angry: "You dare to slander us after eating the Overlord's meal. If the tiger doesn't show his power, he treats me as a sick cat and beats me hard.

"

The youth subconsciously hides behind Maxim and Rex.

Two people: "..."

"Who dares to meddle in business, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." A man shouted arrogantly to Maxim and Rex.

Rex didn't want to meddle in his own business. Hearing this, he suddenly looked at the guy, his cold eyes chilling, "Emperor Saint Laner is not allowed to fight in the street, whoever stirs up trouble and takes the lead, It will be regarded as defiance of the laws of the empire." The

guy was already put out a lot by the arrogant flames in his heart, and when he heard his words, he became even more flustered, and looked at the restaurant owner for help.

The restaurant owner also hesitated, flouting the laws of the empire, this is not a light charge, he is just the owner of a small restaurant, there is no one behind him, and this man looks so powerful, and his clothes are not like ordinary people can afford to wear Yes, it is estimated that he is not an ordinary person, and he immediately retreated.

"Don't talk nonsense, Your Excellency, we are all citizens of the empire, how could it be possible to do such absurd things as flouting the laws of the empire, it's just that this kid doesn't pay for his meals, my restaurant is not a place for relief, unless you help him. The meal is paid for, five gold coins in total."

Rex frowned.

The young man's eyes widened, and then he showed an angry expression, but he didn't yell, just muttered something in his mouth, his voice was a little low, probably meaning that something cost five gold coins, why not grab it or something .

The motto was so close that he could hear it clearly, he couldn't help sighing, and even he could see that this restaurant was clearly bullying young people who had never seen anything in the world, he thought about it and said to the young man: " Would you like to lend you five gold coins?" The

young man didn't expect him to talk to him, so he looked at him blankly, and after a while he heard the young man in front of him raise his eyebrows and say "don't forget it", he immediately He reacted: "I want it, I want to borrow it!"

Although he was really upset, why did he give the restaurant owner five gold coins, but he was in a foreign country, and he still had important things to do, so he couldn't be here for too long.

Maxim asked Rex for five gold coins, Jimmy was a poor man and had only a few gold coins in his storage belt, which was later spent, and now has nothing.

Rex gave him a determined look, and finally actually gave him five gold coins.

Maxim handed five gold coins to the young man, and the young man returned the gold coins to the restaurant owner. The other party's expression seemed a little disbelieving. Perhaps in his heart, it was impossible for someone to borrow five gold coins from a stranger for no reason. After all, five gold coins Not a small amount, enough for an ordinary civilian family to live frugally in the imperial capital for a month.

The owner of the restaurant held five gold coins, gave the young man a deep look, let out a light hum, and said, "You're lucky," and took the guy back.

The matter is settled, and Maxim follows Rex.

The young man quickly followed, he didn't dare to talk to Rex, who seemed to be difficult to get along with, and followed the motto, who had a good temper at first glance: "My benefactor, my name is Il, thank you for lending me five gold coins, and so on. I earn gold coins, I will definitely pay you back, what is the name of the benefactor, where do you live, can you tell me?"

"My name is Ge... oh." Before the maxim was finished, Rex suddenly pinched it. His lower arm was so painful that the saline almost burst out. He looked at him accusingly, but met the other's warning eyes.

Il's angle just couldn't see their movements, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yan endured the pain, and his face flushed, he said, "It's okay, I just had a little discomfort in my throat. I mean my name is Jimmy, and his name is Rex."

Il suddenly glanced at Rex when he heard the words, and asked again. : "Then if I want to pay back the money in the future, where will I go to find you?"

"This...I don't have a fixed place for now."

"What about Mr. Rex?"

"Uh...you ask him." Rex, he doesn't know where he lives.

Il immediately looked at Rex expectantly.

"No need."

Il was stunned.

The motto was also a bit surprising. It was five gold coins. He didn't think Rex was so kind. Although he proposed it at the beginning, he never thought of borrowing it for nothing. After all, the gold coins were not his, he knew I don't have the right to make decisions for Rex's money, so I asked for a loan.

"No." Before the maxim said anything, Il retorted loudly, "My mother said that you must be worthy of your conscience, and I am very grateful to you for lending me gold coins, but it does not mean that I can not pay it back, that way What's the difference between someone who is ungrateful and ungrateful?"

This is a really strong word, although the metaphor is a bit wrong, but the proverb has a good impression on him. Hearing his words, the goodwill suddenly increased by two points. Well, he really did not help wrong. people.

"Well, why don't you follow us first, and when I find a place to stay, you can go there to find me later." Motto compromised.

Elle nodded happily.

48

Chapter 48 Amy's Cabin

The two-person line became a three-person line, and it was much more lively.

Rex has always been taciturn, and it is often Maxim who takes the initiative to speak to him. After Il joins, he has a company. Through chatting, they become familiar with each other, and then they directly call each other by name.

Motto also knew that Il was here to find someone in the imperial capital of Saint Laner. In order to fulfill the last wish of his deceased mother, he sold all the valuable things in the seller, and then he embarked on a journey to find someone without hesitation.

It's a pity that the luck is not very good. The closer you get to the Imperial Capital of Saint Laner, the higher the price. His stolen purse didn't have much left.

"Then don't you have no place to live today?" Motto compared, and suddenly felt that he was lucky because he met Rex, otherwise he should be worrying about three meals and a place to live now.

Il suddenly scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, with a particularly uncomfortable expression: "So I want to borrow some more gold coins from Mr. Rex, and I can stay in the same hotel as you for a few days, I know it's a bit of a stretch to say this. , but I promise that I will pay it back, otherwise the sky will be struck by thunder and I will not die, and I will go to Avici Hell after death."

"I can't call the shots, after all, I don't have any gold coins, but I can help you ask." Maxim didn't think so. what.

"Really? Thank you so much." Il immediately grabbed Motto's hand, his eyes bright like a luminous night pearl, extremely beautiful because of his sincerity.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand: "I can only convey

it to you." Il waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you are already very grateful for your willingness to help me."

Gu Yan quickly came to Rex's side and put Yi Er's hand. I talked about borrowing money.

Rex glanced at him.

He looked at the motto and touched his nose with a guilty conscience: "It doesn't matter if you don't borrow it, I didn't promise him at all."

"How much does he want to borrow." Rex looked back.

Maxim didn't expect that he would actually borrow it, and immediately told him about Il's request.

Rex didn't answer.

However, Maxim knew that he had agreed in disguise, and immediately told Il the good news. Il was so excited that it was great to say a few words, but when they arrived at their destination, Ilton couldn't laugh a little. Now, Motto seems to be able to see the blood in his heart, and suddenly feels a little sympathetic to him, no wonder Rex agrees so readily.

The name of the hotel is Ami's Hut, which sounds warm and wasteful, but it can be seen from the outside that the hut, regardless of its decoration or size, should be regarded as one of the best in the imperial capital of Saint Laner. It can also be seen from the guests entering and leaving. Ami's hut is a high-consumption place, and the price of a night's stay is probably not low. Rex walked straight into Ami's hut, and immediately a well-trained waiter came to entertain them. After learning that they wanted to stay, the waiter took them to register. There are three grades of rooms in Ami's hut, namely ABC three, A grade room is 100 gold coins per night, C grade room is 20 gold coins a night, Rex asked Maxim for an A grade room, At first glance, Hao Dei knew that he was a master who had no shortage of gold coins. Not only was Il envied, but he was also envied by Motto. He is still a pauper. "Well, I want a C-class room." Il said tremblingly, 20 gold coins, he used to help people in his hometown, and he only earned two or three gold coins a month, which is still a relatively high salary. Maxim looked at him sympathetically. The waiter took them to the room. After leaving, Rex threw a gold card to Maxim, which contained some gold coins. The gold card was issued by the mercenary union. If you store more than 100,000 gold coins, you can get a gold card. The Serranka Empire is universal, and then he told him not to run around casually. If something happens, he will come here to find him and leave without even eating. Maxim didn't know much about this, so he put it in the storage belt with peace of mind, and then came to the door of Il's room.

Although the rooms in Ami's hut are graded, in fact, the C-grade rooms are not bad, even better than the best rooms in general hotels. Il immediately came out and opened the door. He was a little surprised to see the motto at the door. When he learned that the motto was coming to find him for dinner, Il readily agreed.

The two came downstairs. Ami's hut has a quieter private room upstairs, but the private room is very expensive, and Motto dare not spend Rex's gold coins casually. Who knows how many gold coins are in the gold card, so the two It hits the spot. After sitting down, Il asked for the cheapest bread and a glass of water, and then it was gone. Seeing his miserable appearance, Il screamed a little more, and shared his meat with him, which moved Il to tears. Wow, apart from his mother, he has never met a person who treats him so well. "Brother Jimmy, Mr. Rex is so kind to you, how did you know each other?" Il picked up a piece of meat and placed it between two slices of bread like a motto. When he took a bite, the aroma of meat spread all over, and even the bread became better. After eating it, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect this way of eating. Gu Yan took a sip of water and choked on the bread stuck in his throat, "Have you heard of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group? Rex and I have joined this mercenary group to experience outside, and that's how we got to know each other." "Go outside . Are you all from the Imperial Capital, then why don't you go home and live?" Yier cleverly caught three strange words and was a little curious. "For some personal reasons, I don't want to go home right now, so I asked Rex to help." Maxim gave a sloppy look, and although he felt good about Il, he was still wary, Rex said. The owner of Strachey couldn't find anything wrong. Il did not doubt and said excitedly: "I heard that the Black Wolf mercenary group is a noble mercenary group, and their members are basically children of nobles. Is Mr. Rex also a noble? He looks very cold. , which noble family is it from?" Gu Yan silently sweated, he only knew Rex's name, but he didn't know what his surname was, so he definitely couldn't say it, so he blurted out vaguely, but fortunately Il didn't ask, The two soon talked about other things.

When they were about to finish eating, there were some loud noises from the door, and a group of people walked in struttingly. These people all had weapons hanging from their waists, and their bodies were imposing, but the most striking was the young man walking at the front. The man, in his twenties, with a nose like a gall, eyes like a star, and a handsome appearance, seems to be the master of this group of people.

Standing next to the young man, a middle-aged man who looked like a guard threw a crystal card to the waiter. The minimum amount stipulated by the crystal card was much higher than that of the gold card, but as long as it was a rich family, it was not bad for such a crystal card. Card.

The waiter with vicious eyes immediately and respectfully led them to the private room upstairs. In a similar situation, there were a few more waves after that, appearing one after another as if agreed.

Chapter 49 How big is the determination

"How come there are so many amazing and talented people today? Isn't the person who just walked past Isaac, the only son of the president of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, I heard that he was escorted by the president of Monroe some time ago. Why did things go to the Kayla Empire in the imperial capital?"

"And Andrew, the young city lord of Tudan City, these people who rarely come to the imperial capital appear one after another. Is there something important happening?"

There are already several tables in the lobby. The people started talking, and the voices suddenly became noisy.

"Your news is really outdated. Of course, there is a reason for them to appear here. According to reliable information, the royal court is planning to recruit dragon knights recently. I heard that they can sign up the day after tomorrow. This is exclusive news. It has not spread yet, but I think it's almost too soon, there should be many people from all over the Arthurlanka Empire coming to sign up in the next few days, and what you see now is only relatively well-informed." The

insider explained the reason, and immediately attracted new people. a round of discussions.

"Wang Ting actually wants to recruit dragon knights. I remember that Wang Ting used to recruit once every five years. Now it has only been three years since the last time. How come they have to recruit again so soon?

" The two years seem to have developed rapidly. Maybe the royal court is preparing to vigorously develop the dragon knight army. Think about it, if a war breaks out in the future, the sky will be filled with dragon knights of the Arthur Lanka Empire, so majestic."

"If I also It would be great to be a dragon knight."

This sentence immediately resonated with the vast majority of people present, to say a dragon knight, that is everyone's biggest dream when they are young.

"Stop dreaming, do you think the royal court's dragon knight army is so easy to advance? Screening layer by layer, just the age, many of you have been brushed down, not to mention physical fitness and strength, want to To make a contract with a giant dragon and become a real dragon knight requires comprehensive strength in all aspects." A mocking voice interrupted everyone's fantasy.

Although it was very unpleasant, what he said was also true. In previous years, there were not 100,000 or 10,000 people who signed up for the Dragon Knight trials, but in the end, less than two thousandths of them were successfully selected, and this time it was only two years later. It is possible that the standards for admission will be stricter, and more people will be brushed down than ever before. "My previous dream was also to be a dragon knight." Il showed a look of longing and yearning, and the next second he looked lost, "but I have self-knowledge, and I can't be selected by my ability." "This dragon knight . Is it that powerful?" Motto can understand his dream, before he came to this world inexplicably, he also had a dream, and that dream was even more distant now than Il's dream, and it was fortunate that he was a character who was comfortable with everything. "Of course." Il nodded heavily, and said how good a bunch of dragon knights are. The knights are one of the royal arms, and the dragon knights are the strongest of the knights. Every dragon knight is carefully selected, and the most outstanding talents are selected from all the applicants. These talents are people from all over the Arthur Lanka Empire, not only the children of the nobles, but also the commoners have the opportunity to be selected. As long as they pass the selection and become a dragon knight, everyone will have the opportunity to obtain a dragon and make a contract with it in the future. For all civilians who dream of becoming a dragon knight, this is undoubtedly a huge temptation. Now, even a martial artist with both magic and martial arts may not be able to contract a beast, let alone a giant dragon. If you become a dragon knight, you can have a giant dragon that others can only dream of. This huge temptation even the children of nobles are very excited about it. Many nobles and commoners regard the Dragon Knight as the most important way out. Now the royal court has sent a message that even two years in advance, some people were caught off guard, but there are still many people who are ready to participate in this selection. Today is only the first day, and more people will gather in the imperial capital in the future. The luck of Motto and Il is already good. If they are a few days later, I am afraid that even the cheapest hotel will not have a vacant room for them. But after a while, before Motto and Il had finished eating, all the rooms in Ami's hut were full.

There are still people who can't catch up, and they have to live in Ami's hut. The waiter of the hut said that the rich young master who is in trouble is going to live in the Ami's hut, because it is said that the Ami's hut is a symbol of aristocrats and rich people. The rich young master I don't want others to look down on me, so I must live here, even if the guards persuade me.

"I don't care, I just want to live here!" The rich young master stayed on the spot like a fool.

The guard didn't dare to carry him out, and stood aside with a helpless expression.

The waiter also showed an expression of helplessness. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but they really didn't have any extra rooms, and they were not short of gold coins to live in Ami's hut. They lived here for the so-called status symbol, so Even giving double gold coins may not impress them.

"You two, let me have a room, and I'll pay three times the price."

Gu Yan and Yi Er silently looked at the rich young master who suddenly walked in front of them. Just watching a play, this rich young master doesn't know which muscle cramps, but he chose them as the object of "showing off", the evil rich people.

Il looked at Motto helplessly, he had never encountered such a situation.

Gu Yan put down the bowl in his hand and glanced at the rich young master lightly, "Do you think I am someone who is short of hundreds of gold coins?"

"So, your room is Class A?" The rich young master's eyes lit up, completely I didn't care about his provocation.

The focus is crooked, Sao Nian.

Maxim nodded calmly, "So what?" The

rich young master was happy. "Yes, I like the A-class room. How many times would you want to give it to me? I have gold coins, as long as you say the number."

"Master." The guard called him quickly, for fear that the motto thought that the young master was provoking him, but Emperor Saint Laner just dragged any place on the street that might be a nobleman. Ami's hut is a high-consumption, high-grade one. The local probability is higher, but the rich young master did not understand the painstaking efforts of his own guards, and still looked at the motto with anticipation.

Motto has already figured out the character of the rich young master. This man is definitely a flower growing in a greenhouse. He has never seen anything in the world, and has never experienced any setbacks. He was raised by his family to be particularly naive, although his words are a bit hateful. , but there is no malice . Thinking of this, he said: "Don't you have to live here, let me see how determined you are." He lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly he pulled the bag off his waist and put it on the table: "There are ten thousand gold coins here." Gu Yan picked it up and weighed it, but he didn't measure it, but he believed that the rich young master would not be here . If he lied about something, he threw the house sign over and said, "Deal." Everyone: "..." Il: "..." Is that okay? ! Everyone looked at Motto with strange eyes, not knowing whether to say he was spineless and easily bought by 10,000 gold coins, or whether they should envy him for earning nearly 10,000 gold coins just by turning his hands. The rich young master happily picked up the house sign, and didn't feel the slightest bit of a loss. He looked at the motto, said "you are very good" in an appreciative tone, and went upstairs contentedly. If he has a tail, he will definitely be able to see it. His tail was cocked high and high. The guard felt that it was not worth it, but seeing the young master's happy appearance, he didn't want to have any more troubles, so he couldn't help but sighed, forget it, the young master is happy. Il looked at the motto admiringly, "Jimmy, you are amazing." "This kind of gold is not worth it, and I won't go to any Dragon Knight trials anyway. I will give half of your room to me at night. I'll give you one-fifth of the ratio, and the money you owe Rex will be repaid immediately." Motto whispered in his ear. "No, no, you earned this money yourself, I..." One-fifth also had two thousand gold coins, and he couldn't take it either. Il shook his head vigorously. "I am what I am, it is because of you that I can let the room out so readily, needless to say, that's it." Motto ended the topic neatly.

The two went back to their room after eating, not realizing that there were two pairs of eyes staring at their backs in the private room on the second floor until they disappeared in the corridor before they retracted.

"This person is very interesting. I thought he would be so angry that he would slap the table and fight with those people, but I didn't expect that he really meant it. Although he was a bit spineless, this profiteer's energy was very similar to yours. "The person who spoke was Andrew, the young city lord of Tudan City, who was known by the public. He was more robust and brave than the average 20-year-old youth, but at the moment he looked at Isaac on the opposite side.

The Monroe Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Arthur Lanka Empire. Its financial strength and influence should not be underestimated. As the only son of Chairman Monroe, Isaac has been fascinated by business since he was a child. The ability to make money should not be underestimated.

Isaac smiled indifferently, "How do you know that he compromised because he had no guts, instead of wanting to earn this gold coin from the beginning?"

"It's not very simple, if he doesn't compromise, The other party obviously won't let it go, and if this fights, the two are not opponents." Andrew's eyes have always been unique, and he can see at a glance that the strength of Motto and Il is not very high.

"I don't agree with you, here, do you think they can fight?" Isaac said confidently.

Andrew knew that he was right, but he didn't want to admit it, and said stubbornly, "It's impossible for them not to go out all the time."

Isaac looked at him with a smile without speaking.

"Okay, I admit that what you said is right." Andrew looked uncomfortable, and finally raised his hands in surrender.

Isaac looked out the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help feeling amused when he remembered that the man clearly wanted to bargain, but he pretended to be somber.

Chapter 50 How profiteers are made

After returning to the room, Gu Yan Yiyan took out one-fifth of the gold coins to Yier, but Yier refused to say anything to him, and finally accepted it with a dazed face. Not long ago, he was a poor man in debt, but now he Going to a play makes you a bourgeois, and life is always full of surprises.

Fortunately, the bed in the C-class room was also very large, so the two big men didn't feel cramped when they slept, and the first night passed just like that.

The next day, Maxim gave Il a trick to make money.

Because the news of the royal court's recruitment of dragon knights has not been fully opened, those who know about this matter are relatively well-informed. When it is full, as long as they use the gold coins to wrap up the hotel room, and then sell it to those wealthy young masters, they will definitely make a small profit. In fact, they are the scalpers of later generations.

Because he was a little bit at risk, Il felt embarrassed and said some bad things like this. The motto told him to go out, but he didn't dare to do it. In the end, there was no way, the two acted together.

The two of them were not familiar with Emperor Saint Laner. Fortunately, the street of Ami's cottage was the street where many high-end hotels were located.

After careful observation, Maxim found that unless the reputation and service quality were not good, there would not be many vacancies in the general high-end hotels, so he had an idea.

However, he did not rush to do it, but took Il to some densely populated places to inquire about the grand occasion of the royal court recruiting dragon knights in the past, and only made a decision after getting the answer he wanted.

"In this way, in order to avoid being too conspicuous, we spread out our goals, and each high-end hotel has three high-end rooms. There are seven or eight high-end hotels in this street, and the cost will not be too much, even if the time comes. No one wants it and it won't lose, how about it, do it or not?" Motto analyzed it with great interest.

Il had never done such a thing before. He was very uncomfortable, but he didn't want to spoil the motto. What's more, without him, he is now living on the streets, with the mentality of giving his life to accompany his benefactor, as if he was afraid that he would retreat. Nod heavily.

The two went to the first one first. This time was not the peak time when outsiders rushed to the imperial capital, and there were still spare vacancies.

"The two guests arrived just in time, and there are just three left in the upper-class room, and one step later will be gone." The waiter at the hotel smiled, and then quickly helped them get three room cards.

The price here is not as expensive as Ami's hut. It only costs forty gold coins a day, not even half of it, but it is still much more expensive for ordinary people. There are more than 7,000 gold coins on Gu Yan's body. He paid five days in advance and spent six Hundred gold coins, and then I went to a few more hotels. The prices of high-end hotels are similar, and there is not much difference. There are a few houses that don't have many high-end rooms, and Motto asked for a few middle-class rooms, but not the lower-class rooms. After an hour, they had twenty or thirty more room cards in their hands, and they spent a total of four or five thousand gold coins. Back at Ami's hut, Motto took out all the house signs and looked at the house signs piled on the table. Il's breath became short. These were all golden coins. He never thought that he would one day do it. Such a crazy thing, if they can't sell it, they will lose thousands of gold coins at once, no no no, he can't think about such an unlucky thing, it shouldn't be sold, it should be... Two days later, the imperial capital's The flow of people is really full, especially the commercial street where they are located. The wide street is full of people. There are many people entering and leaving the door of the hotel every day. It can be considered that it is a wedding event. If you are lucky, you can get an empty room. Yes, there is not even a lower-class room, some people like it and some people hate it. Gu Yan felt that the time was right, and he dragged Il out that day. There are many crossroads in the imperial capital of Saint Laner, especially in the downtown area. The streets are crisscrossed, and the most lively place is also the crossroads. The two of them set up a table and put a card on the table with a slogan written on it - no thinking The hotel's three first-class room licenses are transferred, if you are the one! This novel way of buying and selling immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, and a group of people gathered around after a while, and some even asked the price. Maxim smiled and pointed to the words "If You Are the One" and showed him. The man was a little embarrassed when he saw it, turned around and left.

"How do you know this person is not?" Il asked him curiously.

"It's a novelty. Most people are curious, especially the one who speaks first. You can see his words, deeds, and clothes. Even if he came to participate in the selection of dragon knights, how could he be willing to live in such an expensive place."

Don't think about the upper class room in the hotel, these few words alone are enough to make many people with insufficient pockets flinch. Thanks to the last four words, there are no messy people to ask, and those who are strapped for money are looking for cheaper ones. Hotel, this is the reason why Maxim will choose this day to set up a stall. This time is not too high. The hotels that are full are better. But they don't want to drop the price too much, so they will definitely find a good hotel to live in. At first, no one came to ask, but after the reputation spread, an hour later, they welcomed their first customer, and they were negotiating with the other party's entourage, and they came to ask the price straight to the point. "One thousand gold coins for a house card." Motto also readily gave a price. Il's eyes widened, God, this is five times the price. The entourage frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Excellency is stealing money. The price is more than five times higher. The superior room of the Busi Hotel is only forty gold coins." The motto said: "So?" "Up to two hundred Fifty gold coins." The attendant opened his mouth and folded it in half. "Then go and find someone else." Gu Yan is not even interested in bargaining with him, what's wrong with five times, he didn't say ten times is not bad, and two hundred and five, he looks a lot like two hundred and five? Il, who was on the side, tugged at his sleeve secretly. He felt that 250 gold coins was already very high, otherwise what would happen if the customers scare away. The entourage was stunned for a moment. He had probably never met such a straightforward seller before, and was immediately a little unhappy. The other party didn't sell, and he couldn't beg him to sell. The money was not given in this way. Beside me, I talked about the matter, the master also felt that the price of the motto was a bit high, so he left. "Jimmy, they're gone." Il looked at the back of their departure in loss.

"Let's go, don't worry, this is just the beginning, and the next is the highlight." Motto didn't care.

Il didn't understand, so he could only stare at the people coming and going.

As it turned out, the adage was right, and the pair welcomed a second customer right away.
