Chapter 440 465 The Principality Will Be Destroyed
The bustling mercenary city in the past seemed a bit depressed because of this big battle. Although it was the breeze in late spring, the dust rolled up made people feel the loneliness of late autumn. It looks even more vicissitudes, as if the whole city has aged decades.

Cheng Xuan walked in the city, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar streets, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. Is it because the mercenary city has become depressed and unfamiliar?Or is it because I have adapted to the noise here, but I am unfamiliar with the unexpected silence?
At this moment, he didn't have time to sigh these things. He walked quickly through the streets and came to the center of the Mercenary City, but here he hesitated for a moment again, because from here there are three directions leading to three different roads. destination.

Rose Hotel, bookstore, or mercenary union?These three locations instantly appeared in his mind, and then he quickly made up his mind, a kind of deep-rooted respect for the teacher decided his first destination this time.

Just when Shengxuan was about to walk to the bookstore, an old man suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the quiet street, to be exact, a hunchbacked old woman with a huge crutch, which was completely taller than her. It was more than double, and her back had been bent until it was parallel to the ground, so she thrust her head forward to see the road clearly.

A large aqua blue robe has been stained with traces of time, and some corners may have been embroidered with gold thread, but now it has been worn gray, but all these still cannot conceal its former magnificence .

The old woman staggered towards this side, coughing violently while walking, every time Shengxuan was worried that she would fall, and couldn't help but want to step forward to help her, but every time the old woman was stubborn Stabilizing his body, he knocked the huge crutches on the ground with a clanging sound, and walked with difficulty step by step.

Looking at the old woman in such pain, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, since his body was already so weak, why did he still use a big crutch that was obviously cumbersome?She could have chosen a light one, perhaps it would make her walk a little lighter.

Finally, the old woman coughed violently again as if she had exhausted her strength. The raised crutch failed to reach the ground, and slipped to the side, causing her body to also tilt, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Shengxuan couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed up, helped the old woman who was about to fall, and at the same time asked, "Old man, are you all right, do you want me to help you to the side to rest?" ?”

But at this moment, the old woman's head suddenly lifted, as if her back was not so hunched in an instant, and her hand seemed to drop something in front of his eyes quickly and slowly, and then a pair of cold eyes The shot came suddenly, as if he could see through his body, his soul, and his past life!
At that moment, it seemed that he was the only one in the whole world. Standing in a vast ancient forest, there was silence everywhere, not even a trace of wind. I am the sand, the stone, the grass, and the tree, the ordinary things in nature.

But the next moment made his heart startled suddenly, because the forest in front of him had completely disappeared, and it was replaced by endless darkness. On the land that was constantly steaming with black smoke, the bones were like a forest, and the air was filled with the fear of death. And in the darkness farther away, a more terrifying existence is rushing rapidly.

Before Shengxuan could make any reaction, even before the fear had spread, the scene in his eyes had changed rapidly like a stream of light, the speed was so fast that he had no time to distinguish, and then everything disappeared, only the slightly drunk warm The wind blows annoying dust swirling in the empty streets.

And he was still supporting the old woman in his hand, "Thank you, child!" The old man said a word, and then began to cough more violently. a while.

The old man looked up at him again, and then sighed, "Hey, I'm really old, no one can stop the sand and dust of time, sooner or later I will be submerged in it..." Said the old woman regardless of his obstruction He had already stood up on crutches, until now Shengxuan felt the weight of the crutches, as well as the astonishing strength contained in the old woman's seemingly frail body.

He dodged aside fearfully, quietly watching the old woman still striding forward, and at the same time saw her hand making a move in the air, as if countless rays of light turned into dust and sand in her hands, Make a small hourglass, and finally disappear in that ancient aqua-blue robe.

"I'm getting old," the old woman shook her head and walked forward, murmuring, "It seems that it's time for us to rest, no one can stop the dust of time,,,,,, Young people will grow up sooner or later,,,,,, let them bear it,,,,,,"

The old man disappeared much faster than he expected, as if she was still coughing non-stop one moment, but the next moment she was gone, leaving only those few incomprehensible words in her ears.

It shouldn't be strange to see any weird people in the mercenary city, just like the old man in the ancient armor shop, like the owner of the ordinary small bookstore, and the friend of the indifferent owner.

Chengxuan calmed down and walked quickly to the door of the bookstore, and then gave a respectful announcement to the inside. The familiar soft voice sounded again, "You're back? Come in!" In that voice, he seemed to be a child who left home, Back to the side of their elders.

When Shengxuan walked out of the bookstore, it was already an hour later, with a smile on his face, it was obvious that the two parties had a very happy meeting this time, and the harmonious atmosphere was a bit surprising.

But it was just that he took the opportunity to ask for advice on some cultivation issues, and he didn't try to ask the shopkeeper and his friends to help.

After visiting the two elders in his heart, he went straight to the mercenary union. He and Gleason also made an appointment to meet here. When he stepped into the gate of the union, he heard the echo of his footsteps. In the normally lively hall, now there are only a few flies circling in boredom.

It seems that the impact of the war has penetrated into all walks of life, and the mercenary industry is not immune to it. Seeing that old Mai Nuo was coaxing away the flies boringly, but did not kill them, he obviously planned to keep them to kill more boring time.

When Old Mai Nuo looked up and saw Sheng Xuan, the sudden burst of joy in his eyes really shocked him, and the ensuing enthusiasm flattered him even more, but it's not surprising after thinking about it, after all, Old Mino It's been a long time since I saw outsiders.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Old Mai Nuo finally turned the topic back to his own business, "Since the last time the Principality enlisted mission, your mercenary group has been promoted to S-rank, but you, the big head, have never been seen coming. Going through the promotion procedures, I thought,,, oh, hehehe, it’s getting too far, are you going to go through it now, or save it for later?”

Even if he was doing business, the old Mai Nuo's words could not be heard in a formal tone, but this did not affect Shengxuan's good mood. Hearing that his mercenary group was promoted again, this is of course good news , but there is a faint sadness in my heart, how many of those former partners are left now?

"I want to issue tasks in the trade union and hire mages above the intermediate level." "Hire mages?" Old Mai Nuo almost didn't fly his eyes to Sheng Xuan's face when he heard this, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time. It was sniggering, as if looking at a fool.

"Hahaha, do you want,,, how many mages do you want to hire, hahaha,,,, what other conditions,,,, what will be used as compensation,,,, I will register for you." Old Mai Nuo Suppressing a smile and speaking with difficulty, Sheng Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly, "Is this so funny?"

"It's not funny, it's very funny. Do you know what time it is now? The two countries are fighting like a raging fire. All those registered in the Mage Association have been recruited. Even the mages who are casual practitioners have long been hiding. , you still want to hire a mage at this time? I really don’t know what you think.” Old Mai Nuo laughed and left some bitter words, which immediately extinguished the hope in Sheng Xuan’s heart.

"But I will continue to be a mage now, and I need a lot, at least a hundred," said Shengxuan, stuffing a bag of gold coins into Old Mai Nuo's hands. Surprisingly, this time the other party not only did not laugh, but also really carefully Helped him think about it, "Well, I think you have only one solution, go ask Grand Duke Julio, at this time, I'm afraid he is the only one in the Principality who still has a few mages in his army."

The power of the gold coin is really strong, not only can stop the ridicule, but also can use the brain, although Chengxuan also knows that the last hope will fall on the Grand Duke, but after being pointed out by outsiders, he becomes more determined.

Gleason waited until Sheng Xuan finished asking, and then quietly walked to his side. The moment the two walked out, he looked back at Old Mino strangely, with vigilance and surprise in his eyes.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but the face of this elegant and easy-going Grand Duke is full of fatigue, and even silver frost has appeared on his temples. He couldn't help but secretly surprised Sheng Xuan, but when the Grand Duke saw him, he was still so enthusiastic, and then asked One sentence, "This is,,," "It's my friend Gleason." The Grand Duke glanced at him casually, and saw that the other party's cultivation base was only eight or nine, so he didn't pay any more attention, "Why didn't you see Reg come back? ? Josephine asked me several times, but I didn’t know how to answer.”

"I'm here this time to ask you to find a way to rescue Reg!" Hearing this, the Grand Duke frowned ugly, "It seems that you have also encountered difficulties, let's go in and talk slowly, I am also in a state of desperation here. , and I want to ask you for help."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Xuan asked anxiously as soon as he entered the living room, while the Grand Duke grabbed the wine bottle and quickly poured three glasses of wine, then grabbed a glass and downed it vigorously, "Hey, I'm afraid my Principality will destroyed."

Give some recommendations, please! ! ! ! !
