Chapter 453 Employment Task
In the Chamber of Commerce where people come and go, everyone is busy with their own affairs.Nobody paid any attention to the poor, old, down-and-out old man.Only Duan Chen showed a smile on his face. Is his destination the Great Tang Empire?And have no money?That's a really nice customer.

Just when the old man was desperate for the mercenaries, Duan Chen appeared in front of him with a smile on his face. He handed over a clean handkerchief and motioned the old man to wipe the sweat off his head.

"Old man, are you going to hire mercenaries? Well, where is your destination?"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said: "Our destination is the Red Moon City of the Tang Empire. Kid, do you have any elders who are also mercenaries?"

The old mercenaries around suddenly burst into laughter, and someone said in a strange way: "Elder? No, no, this kid, he himself is the head of a mercenary group. Haha, the supernatural mercenary group, what a good name. "

The old man glanced at Duan Chen suspiciously, and said, "Little friend..."

Duan Chen immediately interrupted the old man's words: "First, I am not a child, do I look so young? Second, I am the head of the supernatural mercenary group, and there are eleven brothers under my command, all of whom are experienced Fight, recruit warriors who are good at fighting! Third, we need the first employment mission to make our mercenary group famous. I think your mission is a very good choice."

Duan Chen said with a smile, fully expecting the old man to be grateful, and then cheerfully led his brothers to set off to protect the caravan.But who knew that the old man looked Duan Chen up and down, and shook his head again.

"No, no, this little... this young gentleman, what I need is a mercenary group that has experienced many battles. The cultivation of a first-rank martial artist. This is the warrior I need. I think neither you nor your young regiment members have met this condition."

Duan Chen smiled and said: "Didn't meet this requirement? Old man, don't look at us young, but the members of our mercenary regiment are definitely elite masters. It is the most cost-effective for you to hire us. And you know the current situation yourself , you don’t have enough deposit to hire those so-called experienced mercenaries, but we don’t need you to pay a deposit in advance, and it won’t be too late to pay after you arrive at your destination safely. How about it?”

As soon as the matter of gold coins was mentioned, the old man's face immediately became depressed. During this period of time, he found countless mercenary groups, but because they couldn't afford the money for the time being, no one would accept his mission.If you procrastinate any longer, I'm afraid you will delay your own business.

Seeing the old man's hesitation, Duan Chen continued: "Besides, how can you be sure that my cultivation is very weak? You know, I am a person who came out of the Black Forest alive. I have fought against monsters in the Black Forest, and the actual strength of my team members and I will definitely exceed your imagination."

What he said was indeed correct, the other party's requirement was only that the head of the group should be in the realm of martial arts, and the members of the group only needed to be a first-rank martial artist.But the people around Duan Chen, the weakest ones have the realm of Wuhun, and the most powerful Zichan is even a strong one of the first rank Wuzun.

If they didn't need a caravan to cover, how could they follow the caravan?
Duan Chen said softly: "Perhaps, I can show you my mighty strength?"

He held the black, inconspicuous Hexuan epee in his hand, and shook it lightly on the ground.

Since Duan Chen reached the realm of Wuhun, he has been able to easily control the black black epee.Although it was only a slight pause, the vibrating force followed the ground and directly charged towards the old man Skool who refused.Scull only felt a strong force coming from under his feet, but he didn't understand the reason yet. This mercenary captain whose cultivation had reached the realm of a ninth-grade martial spirit was knocked out by the shocking force, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment. .

"Who is it! Who the hell is plotting against me!" Skur felt goosebumps all over his body. The force just now was obviously only aimed at himself, and it was extremely powerful.Even if you have prepared yourself, you can't stop the opponent's attack.This control over power was completely beyond Skoll's expectations. He thought to himself that he could also knock an unsuspecting person into the air, but this power would definitely affect the people around him.

Ignoring Skool looking for the enemy to attack him, Duan Chen turned his head and said with a smile: "You see, Mr. Skoole may not be the best target for you to choose."

Seeing that Duan Chen only lightly paused on the ground, the old man sent a strong nine-rank martial spirit flying into the air, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh! It's amazing, please forgive me for my ignorance. , I really never thought that you would possess such powerful power at such a young age!"

Duan Chen said with a smile: "It's not just me, my companion is also a one-in-a-million genius."

The old man said quickly: "If your companions are not far behind your cultivation level, I think I can hire you to escort the caravan to Red Moon City. However, I don't have a deposit to give you, so I can only go to Red Moon City. One-time settlement after the city."

Duan Chen said with a smile: "It's absolutely fine. You see, this is our first mission. If you think our escort work is okay, then you have to promote us more."

After seeing Duan Chen's strength beyond his age, the old man simply chose Duan Chen's team as the escort mercenaries.After reviewing the documents that Duan Chen hastily processed, the two parties initially reached a cooperation intention.

The skinny old man said: "My name is Qin Qing, please be a little older, sir, you can call me Qing Lao from now on, but I don't know your name yet."

Duan Chen said with a smile: "My name is Duan Chen. Just call me by my name from now on." He was really a little happy, because the location of Red Moon City is only [-] kilometers away from the Shentong Academy. within the sphere of influence.

Duan Chen believed that as long as he reached Red Moon City, those damned fallen angels would not dare to do anything casually here.

After tidying up hastily, Duan Chen went back to the inn and called out the people who were waiting here.Under the leadership of the young man, they came to the caravan of the young man.

This is a very small caravan, the entire caravan only has two black-horned beasts with slow loads, and the rest are more than 30 drivers and guards.Including Duan Chen and other ten people, the entire caravan only has more than 40 people.

After getting acquainted with each other, we set off on the same day.Duan Chen and others rode on horses and held weapons.And the black-horned beast slowly followed behind them.

The Ninth Prince said with a bitter face: "I said Duan Chen, when we are walking at this speed, when can we reach the Academy of Divine Ability?"

This problem is not only distressed by the Ninth Prince, but even the rest of the disciples of the Shentong Academy are a little unhappy.

Starting from Longshan City, if practitioners like them don't act together with the caravan, it will only take seven or eight days to reach the Academy of Divine Abilities.However, if they act together with the caravan, they may not be able to arrive in a month.

Duan Chen smiled and said: "What? I'm a little irritable at the beginning of the journey? Didn't we all think about it before? Even if it's slow, it's better than taking risks. Those fallen angels, just come and kill us all, I don't want to encounter them on the road. Although following the caravan is slow, safety can always be guaranteed."

The Ninth Prince sighed, and said: "I know it's safe for us to go with the caravan, but this speed is too slow, black-horned beast, damned black-horned beast. Why can't they use some space rings with huge capacity? To use this slow transport?"

Duan Chen snorted: "My Ninth Prince, do you think these hard-working merchants can afford space rings? If they have this thing, how can they be the hardest merchants? Come on, we just now Start, go slowly!"

Although full of complaints, the Ninth Prince and the disciples of the Shentong Academy also know that it is probably the safest way to rush to the Shentong Academy.Those fallen angels are too powerful, I would rather slow down than be tracked down by those fallen angels.

On the other hand, old man Qing completely lost his previous frowning look, and started talking and laughing with everyone.It was only then that Duan Chen discovered that the old man Qing was very knowledgeable, and he even knew a lot about the accidents in Nanbuzhou.

"This person will know a lot of things when he's old enough to live." The old man Qing looked at Duan Chen with a smile, and said, "Actually, I'm very grateful to you for being our guards. I thought I couldn't hire anyone I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go on my way. In that case, as long as a random group of bandits comes, it will kill me and the entire caravan."

Duan Chen asked: "Old Qing, you are businessmen, you shouldn't have become so impoverished, how come you don't even have any employment expenses?"

Duan Chen was really curious, because he saw with his own eyes that the caravan seemed to have really suffered a great economic crisis, so that they ate the cheapest corn paste and some vegetable leaves for every meal.As for meat, there is only one meal every four or five days.

You must know that the guys walking outside, the driver, and the guards have a lot of food, and they must supplement some meat to maintain normal physical strength.But the caravan that invites the elderly is so impoverished that they can't even afford meat, which really surprised Duan Chen.

The old man Qing sighed, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.Judging by his appearance, it seems that he has other difficulties.

Duan Chen didn't ask any further questions. In fact, apart from the food, he liked the atmosphere in the caravan very much, because the people in this caravan were happy and harmonious, and they were completely free from the bitterness, meanness, and inhumanity of previous caravans.Apart from the poor food, this caravan is almost the best caravan Duan Chen has ever seen in two lifetimes.

Going all the way south, he soon left the scope of the ancient country of Qihua and entered the vast and boundless Lancang Mountains.

The Lancang Mountains traverse the entire Nanfangbuzhou and are the largest virgin forest in the Nanfangbuzhou.On one side of the mountain range is the ancient country of Qihua, and on the other side is the Tang Empire.There are many monsters and bandits here, and there are countless wanted criminals, murderers, and homeless people who escaped from the two countries.

Because of the terrain of the Lancang Mountains, neither the Qihua Ancient Country nor the Tang Empire has the power to control the primitive jungles of the Lancang Mountains.This is also the first difficulty the caravan encountered.

Fortunately, although the Lancang Mountains have a vast area, they are different from the Black Forest. In addition to monsters, there are also many ordinary beasts and hunters living in the mountains.Because of the abundance of products, no one is willing to do some house robbery except for the murderers and homeless people who are wanted on the mainland.

Therefore, a small road was opened up in the Lancang Mountains, which communicated the exchanges between the ancient country of Qihua and the Tang Empire.And this small road has also become an important road no less than the Redwood Commercial Road.
