Chapter 157 Contact Station

This is the best city, this is the worst city, this is Jianfeng City, a city that shines from legend into reality.

A long, long time ago, there was a city called Blade City, a young man who was born in poverty, had a miserable life experience, suffered from desolation and other tragedies. These three points have become the most popular call and knight novels of Parvatija. Essential opening elements.It can be said that the name Jianfeng City appears most frequently in various fairy tales and legends. From humans to dragons, from the sky to the deep sea, from nobles to civilians, almost every intelligent creature hears the name Jianfeng City. Growing up, everyone had longed for Jianfeng City when they were young, dreaming of wielding a sword here for their dreams, and finally becoming a hero that attracted worldwide attention.

This is not without reason.

Since the pioneering era, when the mercenary kings joined forces to establish the City of Blades, this great city that is located in the center of Parvatiga and is not under the jurisdiction of any country has become a place that pits strength against power and individuals against groups. An iconic presence that will always remain standing.

In the pioneering era, the nine mercenary groups of Jianfeng City launched a four-pronged attack, helping sixteen cities plant the heart of the city in the wilderness, and made indelible contributions to the expansion of the living range of intelligent creatures.In the era of chaos, the Seven Lords of Blades declared war on 32 neighboring countries at the same time in anger, cleansing the world with blood and fire, so that the surrounding civilians were not troubled by war for a hundred years. This history has always been talked about.

As for the smaller heroic deeds, they are countless.It's like a heroic young man who bears a blood feud and practices incognito in Jianfeng City, and eventually becomes a legend to avenge his revenge and take his beautiful lover away. It's like an innocent girl who is oppressed by her husband and family when she encounters an unkind person, and has to flee to Jianfeng City. Fengcheng, and then met the domineering mercenary leader by chance, and the two fell in love with each other. Similar legends filled the bedside and bookshelves of boys and girls.

This large city built, maintained, and managed by mercenaries has carried the dreams of mercenaries. Over the past 4000 years, at least three hundred large-scale mercenary regiments with world-class influence have come out of Jianfeng City, and at least one Hundreds of heroes who made a sensation in Parvatiga started from Jianfeng City.

People revere and worship heroes, and the more peaceful the times, the more so. People regard the stories of heroes as their spiritual sustenance, and imagine that one day they can be respected by thousands of people like heroes. But people don't know that heroes will also He was chased from the east gate to the west gate by the tavern owner because he ate the King's meal, and he was beaten by a beautiful woman until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen for being indecent.

"Haha, brother, you are so annoying. The more you talk, the more outrageous you are." Lisa, who covered her body in a traveling cloak to deepen her sense of mystery, couldn't help but punch Shuer on the back a few times. "It's okay to eat the King's meal. Oh, what’s going on with the indecent assault on a beautiful woman?”

"What if there is a hero who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, can't open his eyes without touching his chest three times every morning, and can't sleep without his thighs as pillows at night." Shuer said seriously, "Although the probability is very low ,but……"

"But that's a pervert, a pure pervert." Lisa said with disgust, "If there really is such a person, I'm afraid he will be beaten to death by others before he can become a hero."

"What if there is someone with a larger life, such as some kind of insect that has existed for [-] million years."

The place where the brother and sister made such nonsense was not in the legendary Blade's Edge City, but in the Temple of Gods.

Originally, Jianfeng City exclusively occupied the central area of ​​Parvatiga. Other surrounding countries were afraid of Jianfeng City's powerful mercenary power and did not dare to extend their tentacles into Jianfeng City's sphere of influence.Of course, it is also because the closer to the center of Parvatiga, the more chaotic the energy environment becomes, the more ferocious the monsters become, and the surrounding countries are also happy to have such a city to help them stabilize their borders.

This situation lasted until the end of the Age of Chaos and the establishment of the Pantheon of Gods.

Whether it was a coincidence or some unknown deal, the Temple of Gods... happened to be built not far from Jianfeng City.

The nearest straight line distance is eighty kilometers.

Since then, the prosperity of Jianfeng City has begun to increase exponentially.

Caravans traveling to and from the pantheon of gods, pilgrims preparing to leave, and large groups of divine priests. If these people want to travel through the wilderness, they must turn to excellent mercenaries, and the most convenient place to hire them is naturally the sword next door. Fengcheng is here.As a result, Jianfeng City, which originally had only mercenaries and merchants, prospered overnight. Whether those who were ready to spend money or those who were ready to make money, they all regarded Jianfeng City as their destination.

However, these clients are all sources of instability after all, and the real partners of the mercenaries in Jianfeng City are those priests.

High-ranking priests of the pantheon.

For high-level clerics, the most convenient function of the Temple is the transfer station.The high-level members of various temples are directly transmitted from the main temple halls all over the world to the temples, and use them as a transfer station to rush to their destinations. This is already a way of travel that the priests have long been accustomed to. It not only saves a lot of time, but also It is a good way to avoid more dangers.However, relying solely on the power within the temple, it may be difficult for the priests to safely cross the wilderness and reach their destination. At this time, professional mercenaries will be needed.

With the safest protection, the most attentive service, and the most reliable professional ethics, the mercenaries of Jianfeng City are simply the best partners of the priests. For thousands of years, they have maintained a very pleasant cooperative relationship. A cleric who sets out from the Temple of Gods likes to hire one or even several mercenary groups from Blade's Edge City.

Therefore, after negotiation, Jianfeng City simply established a tavern as a liaison station outside the temple to make it easier for customers to issue tasks.

Yes, the contact station outside the city.

In the world of Parvatiga, it is very dangerous to leave the protection of the heart of the city. All kinds of terrible disasters will happen at any time. Only desperate people will live outside the city, facing the possibility of death every minute. Danger, if possible, no one wants to live with the threat of death all day long.

Except for the crazy mercenaries.These desperadoes who relied on swords and shields to fight against nature, laughing and dancing in the blood and fire, chose to place the communication station outside the city. Not only were they in constant trouble, but their employers also had to be on tenterhooks every time they came in and out, for fear of luck. Great, what a pleasant encounter I encountered.

For example, the scene that Soul and Lisa are encountering now.

"Bang", just as the two of them reached the entrance of the liaison station, the door of the tavern opened automatically, and a person flew out from inside, passed in front of the two, and fell to the ground with a bang, kicking up dust all over the sky.

The brother and sister, holding hands, watched expressionlessly as a large living person flew through the air. Until the dust started to rise, they waved their hands in front of them with the same movement to drive away the dust, and continued to try to enter the contact station.

"Whoosh".The efforts were in vain, and another person flew out with claws and teeth, screaming in the air, and hit the first victim.

"Hahahaha." Rough laughter came from the tavern, accompanied by the cheers of a large group of people and the clash of weapons. You didn't need to use your brain to know what a chaotic scene it was inside.

"Oh." Shuer sighed and tried to walk into the contact station for the third time.

Definitely another failure.

What flew out this time was not one person, but five or six, five or six guys with bruises and swollen faces rolling around on the ground in front of the tavern. Their wails and screams were enough to make the listeners sad and the listeners cry.

Raising his eyebrows, Shuer's face darkened. You dare to be so disrespectful in front of Lisa. You violent maniacs are very courageous.

After a few sneers, Shuer suddenly raised his voice and shouted at the door: "Alarm, alarm, Warcraft approaching alarm, danger level [-], quantity nine, speed [-], correction, correction, the danger level has been raised to two. Point five.”

"Crash, crash, crash, crash," the tavern suddenly fell into chaos. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 armed men and women poured out of it. Everyone smelled of alcohol, their eyes were shining, and they looked fierce and impatient.

"Where, where is the monster?"

"X, you XX are not allowed to fight with me. My sword has not been stained with blood for several days."

"In the name of the Lord, you crazy woman, do you want to taste the fist that represents the will of my Lord?"

"X, get out of my way, my ax doesn't recognize anyone."

"May, Hall".

"Boom", the magic flame exploded directly.

Before the monsters even saw it, these madmen were already about to start a fight. It is estimated that if monsters really came, they would be scared away when they saw these ferocious guys.

Shrugging at Lisa, Xiu Er acted as if he had done nothing, and finally walked in unhindered, letting a group of mercenaries whose brains were burned by alcohol to solve the problem by themselves at the door.

"Welcome light... Wow, it turns out to be Priest Shuer." The tavern was quite normal. Of course, the glass shards in the middle had to be ignored.Moreover, almost all the tables and chairs are brand new. It is best not to delve into what this means.

Other than that, everything is normal in the tavern. Well, the abnormal ones are outside the door. There are only seven or eight tables of guests scattered in the hall, looking bored, with two small mustaches on their lips, looking more and more like a mouse. The same skinny bartender was standing at the bar wiping the quilt vigorously. When he saw a customer coming in, he just showed a professional smile, but when he saw the other person's appearance clearly, his expression immediately changed.

"We are closed. We don't accept new customers today. Please go back."

"You know, Gutter Rat." Xiure held his sister's hand, with a holy smile on his face, but at some point, he had already held up a chair in his hand, "Your boss is actually a very generous person. , if I, as a client, accidentally hurt you by being too impulsive, your boss will not pursue it because of my status as a client."

"Bang", the mouse-like man slapped his hand on the bar, "I was wrong, guest, what are your orders?"
