Wuji Yaozun

Chapter 452 Mysterious Girl
There was nothing to say all night, when the sun rose slowly the next day, Duan Chen and the others had already packed their things and were ready to go.After a night's rest, everyone is refreshed and full of energy.

Because of the repeated battles with the Fallen Heaven in the Black Forest, the Black Forest has now become a forbidden area for monster hunters and mercenary groups.A large number of rangers and monster hunters who couldn't find anything to do wandered around Longshan City.This has also led to a particularly high number of violent cases in Longshan City recently, and the iron guards stationed in Longshan City have begun to patrol the streets.

When Duan Chen and others left the inn, there were already many people wandering around on the street.Most of these people are mercenaries with weapons on their bodies, monster hunters, and there are also many businessmen trapped here because of the battle in the Black Forest.

Duan Chen and the others had already made a plan last night, because it was more conspicuous to go back to the Academy of Divine Abilities alone. In order to prevent the Fallen Heaven from chasing and killing them, they decided to find a caravan leading to the Academy of Aesthetics and pass the cover of the caravan Rush to the destination.In this way, although the speed is a little slower, it can confuse the pursuers behind.

Of the eighteen fallen angels, as long as one of them comes out at random, it is enough to annihilate their entire army.The reason why he was able to repel the flame angel last time was because of the rain listener.They don't believe that when they meet the fallen angel again, they will have such a powerful master to help them.

The largest business house in Longshan City was already overcrowded, and a large number of mercenary groups who couldn't find anything to do because of the blockade of the Black Forest were crowded here.They showed off their muscles and fighting spirit, hoping to be hired by a large caravan.Some monster hunters who came out of the Black Forest stared unkindly at the merchants coming in and out of the Chamber of Commerce, hoping to find a better buyer and buy back the things they got in the Black Forest.

Duan Chen separated from the crowd and walked to the door of the chamber of commerce office. It was a woman with long golden hair. Seeing Duan Chen dressed as a mercenary, she said in a very impatient tone: "Hey, come on." If you are hiring a mission, go over there and wait."

While speaking, he quickly sorted out the documents in his hands.Duan Chen sniffed silently, and asked: "I want to ask, I want to take on a large-scale employment task here, my partners and I have been out of work for many days because of the accident in the Black Forest. If we work, we will starve."

The blond woman in charge said in a very impatient and irritable tone: "I told you! If you accept the mission, go over there and wait! Didn't you see the waiting mercenary group? Damn it! Black Forest Being banned from entering and leaving is not caused by me, why do you lowly mercenary groups have to find tasks with me here to do it? Could it be that I owe you in my previous life?"

She glanced at Duan Chen and said, "Little guy! Left! Wait there, there will be caravans that need mercenaries to hire you!"

Duan Chen glanced over there disheveledly, and found a dozen stout men smiling maliciously beside him.Duan Chen coughed and smiled at everyone friendly.

A fat man in thick leather armor said in a low voice: "Little guy, go to the back, this is where the team will pick up the mission. Your mission alone, go back!"

Duan Chen glanced at the fat man and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm also here on behalf of my team. Well, we're the Avatar Mercenary Corps, and I'm their team leader."

The fat man snorted disdainfully, and said, "Why is the review of the mercenary group becoming more and more loose now? A small guy who doesn't even have a full palm can become the head of the mercenary group. Uh, little guy, are your mercenary groups all children like you? Haha! I don’t know who would be so unlucky to hire you.”

The surrounding mercenary groups burst into laughter. They were all veteran mercenaries who had experienced many battles, and they were all elites who had fought in the Black Forest.They have seen a lot of fledgling guys like Duan Chen. After this kind of mercenary group is established, it will basically be wiped out if it receives a slightly more difficult task.

Duan Chen was despised by everyone, and he was not angry.He just wanted to find a cover identity, as long as someone was willing to go in the direction of the Academy of Divine Abilities, he would be willing to be hired even if it was paid.

Now the Black Forest is forbidden to enter, so many caravans can only hastily find a batch of goods from monster hunters in nearby cities, and then prepare to go back to sell them.This also caused the price of Dragon Mountain City's magic core and some precious materials to rise a lot.Of course, there are also many caravans with hoarded goods, but without exception, these caravans are busy rushing to their destinations with a large amount of goods.

Many caravan stewards come here to choose the mercenary group to hire. The people in the caravan are all very smart and capable. They can understand which mercenaries are good, have a good reputation, and the price is fair. .Soon some veteran mercenary teams were picked up by some caravans that needed protection, leaving behind some crooked or rookies who looked like stunned young men.

Some old mercenaries with disabilities couldn't help cursing in a low voice. They kept telling how strong they were back then, and could kill a second-rank monster with a single blow.But those caravan bosses turned a deaf ear, what they needed was not these disabled old mercenaries, but some elite fighters.

Duan Chen was also very depressed to find that no one would hire him, a master of the Wuhun realm.Because his appearance is too young, and there is no scar on his body.All this shows that this young head of the mercenary group has not experienced any actual combat.

As for the mercenary regiment that has not experienced actual combat, the combat power fluctuates greatly, and being young means that the cultivation base is not high. When there is dust, the choice is given up.

It was almost noon, and the heads of many mercenary regiments signed agreements with some caravan stewards, and then took the stewards to their mercenary regiment's residence.Except for Duan Chen, the people waiting for the task here are some old mercenaries with disabilities or old age.

Duan Chen sighed, he didn't want to go to the inn just like that, without finding a suitable caravan as cover, they couldn't take the risk of leaving Longshan City alone.But the stewards of the caravan are unwilling to hire Duan Chen, which makes Duan Chen very depressed, why can't he show his strength here?
No, it can't be like this, otherwise the well-informed Fallen Heaven will definitely get his own news, and I'm afraid he will chase him all the way.It is still necessary to use all the tongues and tongues, and finding a caravan is the only surefire solution.

An old mercenary who was blind in one eye suddenly said indignantly: "Damn it! I've been waiting here for two days, and if I don't receive the employment mission, my brothers will drink the northwest wind!"

Someone next to him interjected: "And the northwest wind? Our mercenary group is already drinking the northwest wind. Damn, these caravans are too picky. Those old mercenary groups are just relying on their numbers and youth. We old mercenaries are the most reliable. Why is no one hiring us old mercenaries who are honest, reliable and full of advantages?"

Someone squinted at Duan Chen, and said with a playful smile: "Don't complain about our old age and disabilities. Isn't this the same for this little brother? He is young and a healthy person. It's not the same to wait here Is there no one to hire?"

A yin and yang voice shouted at Duan Chen: "Hey, little guy, it's impossible for you to wait for someone to hire you here, those experienced stewards and bosses will not choose a newly released mercenary group as their own guards. If you really want to make money, how about I introduce you to Yihong Court? Well, the daily income of the little boy over there can be compared to your monthly income as a mercenary!"

There was a burst of laughter from all around, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.Duan Chen knew that these mercenaries were just complaining and had no malicious intentions.He looked at the crowd with a smile, not angry at all.

Suddenly a noisy voice came from the front, Duan Chen raised his eyes to look, only to find that the strong man in leather armor came back cursing.He shouted: "Damn it, there is no employment fee, what a fart! Wasted half a day of my time, get out! If you dare to follow me, I will blow your balls!"

Behind the strong man was a thin and small old man, he was sweating profusely, and his face was full of pleading: "Mr. Skool, I assure you, as long as you arrive at the employment place, your employment fee will be paid by me." Not a penny is missing! Our money has been exchanged for goods, and now we really can’t spend much money.”

Skull scolded: "Go away! It will take at least a month to go from here to the Tang Empire. You can't even get the deposit of [-] gold coins, so I will walk with you for a month for nothing? This kind of loss-making business, I will not do it, I will not do it!"

An old mercenary asked, "Skool, what's going on?"

Skool said angrily: "This old guy, we have agreed on the employment fee of [-] gold coins, and we will escort his caravan to the Great Tang Empire. You know, [-] gold coins are enough for me and my family. The brothers have been free for a while. But this old guy said that he didn't have any money on him, and we can only pay after we reach the destination. Damn it! It will take a month to get the money. Is my brother and his family just Are you going to drink the northwest wind?"

The skinny old man behind him said anxiously: "I swear by the reputation of the Qin family, as long as you can safely escort us to our destination, I will definitely not lose one cent of the three thousand gold coins that should be paid!"

Skool scolded: "Get out! Don't hinder me from taking jobs."

He cursed and said: "There are so many mercenaries here, you can choose whatever you want, anyway, I won't accept your mission!"

The surrounding mercenaries backed away with a smile on their face. They naturally had their own rules when accepting missions. They always paid half of the deposit first before starting escort work.But this old man can't even get any money out of him, so who would take the risk?

The skinny old man stood there blankly, and begged: "Commanders, the little old man is by no means a sinister and cunning person, but he just got into trouble in Longshan City for a while. There is an old saying in our Tang Empire that we rely on our parents at home , except relying on friends, as long as you are willing to escort our caravan, the little old man will definitely be very grateful."

Scull was not even interested in talking to the old man. He looked at the businessmen coming and going in the hall, hoping to find another customer who would hire them.

The old man sighed, and he touched his wrinkled pocket, which contained only a few silver coins.Looks like there's really no money left.

Such customers, even those old mercenaries are unwilling to make money. They looked at the old man with a smile, and their eyes were full of ridicule.

No money, no money, what do you want mercenaries for?
