Chapter 157: The Mercenaries' Association

Shun Long smiled at the beautiful young woman in front of him, and after tapping the fingers of his right hand on the table for a while, he answered

''From what these people said, this Mercenaries Association is probably one of the strongest powers inside the Silver sword city. I plan to go and take a look, but I'm not sure about joining them yet. After all, I don't know what I would get by joining them, or what limitations they would set on their members in the first place.''

Liu Mei nodded her head, and after taking a deep breath, she asked

''Then... should I come with you?''

Thankfully, she had already put on her white veil back on her face, or Shun Long would have noticed that she had turned red from embarrassment. 

Shun Long nodded his head as he looked at her, and with a serious look on his face, he said 

''Liu Mei, I want you to come with me.''

''Mhm!''

Liu Mei nodded her head, as a warm feeling spread through her heart. At the same time, Shun Long could also feel a tug in his heartstrings as his eyes stared at the beautiful young woman in front of him.

A few minutes later, when Shun Long asked to pay the bill, the same woman in the red dress from before arrived.

After paying a little more than 200 low-grade spirit stones, Shun Long also asked her for directions regarding the Mercenaries' Association.

He and Liu Mei then both left the 'Red rose pavilion', and under the astonished gazes of the crowd around them, they sat on top of the 'Silver-winged panther king's back', as they headed towards the south of the city.

An hour later, Shun Long and Liu Mei had arrived in front of a gigantic black castle. 

The castle's walls were made from some kind of black steel, while countless formations seemed to be active at all times around it.

The huge gates of the castle were wide open, as countless people and even carriages were coming and going at all times.

2 simple words were engraved above the castle's gates, but no one in the entire Silver sword city dared to take them lightly

'Mercenaries' Association'

Shun Long and Liu Mei followed the rest of the carriages, as they walked through the castle's gates.

Of course, with the peak rank 5 'Silver-winged panther king', it was impossible to not the attract attention from the people around them.

The moment that Shun Long and Liu Mei stepped through the castle's gates, it was like a whole new world had unfolded itself in front of their eyes.

The castle's interior was much bigger than Shun Long had imagined, while countless people could be seen around chatting, laughing, or even fighting with each other.

Looking around him, Shun Long also saw many different counters, with a sign above each of them, while a huge bulletin board could be seen, with countless people gathering around it.

After dismounting from the 'Silver-winged panther king', Liu Mei looked at the handsome young man next to her and asked softly

''Shun Long, should we go over to the information counter then?''

Shun Long nodded his head, as he and Liu Mei both stood in the long line behind the large sign 'Information counter'.

Less than half an hour later, a pretty young girl with red hair, dressed in violet robes welcomed them, as she said with a smile on her face

''My name is Huan Lo, how can I help you? Would you perhaps like to set up a mission?''

Shun Long shook his head as he then responded

''I want to know what are the requirements to enter the Mercenaries' Association, as well as what are the limitations or benefits that a member would have.''

Huan Lo hadn't expected such an elementary level question, and after scrutinizing Shun Long and Liu Mei with her eyes for a bit, she nodded her head as she replied

''Of course, everyone is welcome to become a mercenary of our Mercenaries' Association, as long as they have at least reached the 7th rank in earth grade. As for any limitations or benefits, there aren't actually that many.

Every mercenary of our association is only allowed to take on missions, at the same level or lower than their mercenary rank.

Of course, if it's a group mission, then only the rank of each team's captain will be taken in accordance. This means that a high ranked captain is allowed to take on low level mercenaries with him in high level missions, but that is something very rare.

Our association provides its mercenaries with an abundant amount of missions, that each customer has to pay a fee for before registering. The customers also have to hand over the reward for the missions to our association in advance, so that they won't try to avoid payment once the mission is successfully completed. Of course, higher level missions will also have better rewards as well.''

Since Shun Long and Liu Mei seemed to be interested in joining the Mercenaries' Association, Huan Lo guided them to the registration counter behind her, where an elderly man in violet robes without a single hair on his head, welcomed them this time.

Shun Long noticed, that in this elder's chest, there was a small silver badge with the word 'B' on it.

The elderly man slightly opened his eyes when he saw new people approaching, before he turned his head to Huan Lo and said

''Little girl, did you bring more work for me again?''

Huan Lo smiled sweetly when she saw the elderly man in front of her, before she looked at Shun Long and Liu Mei and said

''Grandpa Huo, these people would like to join our association.''

The elderly man called 'grandpa Huo' opened his eyes wide after seeing the 'Silver-winged black panther' following behind Shun Long. He could immediately sense the panther's terrifying aura, as he then stood up from his chair, and looking at Shun Long and Liu Mei in front of him, he cupped his hands, as he spoke with a big smile on his face

''Welcome! My name is Huo Weiyu, and I am in charge of this registration counter. Can I ask if you have already entered one of the Guilds?''
