At night, in a small wooden house, Ming Dong and Jian Chen got together.
"Looking at you, the injury on your body should be healed." Jian Chen looked up and down Mingdong, and said with a smile.
Ming Dong nodded slightly and said, "Thanks to the healing medicine you left behind, otherwise I wouldn't be able to recover so quickly, and after this period of meditation, my strength has improved to a higher level."
Jian Chen nodded slightly and praised: "Yes, they are all high-level saint teachers. With your cultivation talent, it is estimated that in a few months, you will be able to break through to the great saint teacher."
"As long as I have enough magic cores, I will definitely be able to break through to the Great Sage within three months." Ming Dong's face was full of confidence. When he talked about his cultivation talent, he felt a burst of pride in his heart, but then when he thought of it Jian Chen, the proud look on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Although his cultivation talent is extraordinary, Mingdong also knows in his heart that he is much worse than Jian Chen. Jian Chen looks like he is only in his early twenties, but he already has the strength of a great sage. As for myself, I was already twenty-seven years old, several years older than Jian Chen, yet his strength had just reached the stage of a high-level saint teacher. Comparing the two, the difference was a world of difference.
Jian Chen took out ten fourth-order magic cores to Ming Dong, and said, "You should work hard to improve your strength. As for the magic core, you don't have to worry about it, all your training needs are covered by me, but you must remember, To improve your strength, you must take it step by step, don’t be too hasty, don’t go too far, so as not to leave any hidden dangers that will affect your future path.”
Mingdong had already seen Jian Chen's generosity, and he was not hypocritical. He directly accepted the magic core that Jian Chen handed over and said, "Don't worry, I also understand the truth."
"By the way, do you know the mercenary event that is held only once in fifty years in the mercenary world?" Jian Chen suddenly asked.
Ming Dong nodded slightly and said, "I've spent a lot of time outside. I've heard of some mercenary events. I heard that there is a big competition between mercenaries. The battle is very fierce. Don't go to participate, otherwise, you will die."
"Yeah!" Jian Chen agreed: "I also heard that the death rate there is very high, but the rewards are extremely generous, making all the mercenaries go crazy."
Hearing this, Ming Dong's heart moved, his eyes fixed on Jian Chen, and he asked, "Don't tell me you want to go to the mercenary event."
Jian Chen did not deny it, and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
"It's best not to go!" Ming Dong looked straight and said, "Although I don't know much about the mercenary event, I have heard others mention the dangers in it. If you don't have the strength of the Earth Master, then it's better not to. Go to participate, or else you will die."
Jian Chen chuckled and said indifferently, "Don't worry, although my strength is not as good as that of the Earth Sage, I still have the ability to save my life. try."
Ming Dong's face suddenly became serious, his eyes stared at Jian Chen for a long time, and after finally confirming that Jian Chen was not joking, he sighed helplessly, "It seems that you have made up your mind to attend this grand event. ."
"Yes, I must go to participate. I plan to leave tomorrow morning. Come with me. Huangjia Village is too quiet. You will not be used to it if you stay here for a long time."
"Well, it's really boring for me to stay here these days. If I hadn't waited for you to come back, I would have left here long ago."
… .
In the early morning of the second day, Jian Chen and Ming Dong said goodbye to the people in the village, and after leaving behind a large amount of food brought in from outside, they resolutely left the place.
For Mingdong's departure, everyone in Huangjia Village is full of reluctance, but they also know in their hearts that Mingdong is not suitable to live here. So I didn't hold back any more, I just hope that when they have time, Jian Chen and the two can visit Huangjia Village often.
After all, Huangjia Village is deep in the mountains, almost isolated from the world, and few outsiders set foot here.
Two days later, Jian Chen and Ming Dong walked out of the mountain, and then walked for a day to a second-tier city. In the distance, the city gate was crowded with a large number of mercenaries and caravans entering the city. them.
There were a lot of soldiers at the gate of the city, there were more than 300 people. Every person who entered the city, whether it was a wealthy businessman or a sturdy mercenary, would be stopped and questioned before being arrested. Let go, and on the city wall, there are still teams of elite soldiers in helmets and armor, and their eyes are swept down.
"What the hell is going on here, why is it so troublesome to enter the city, I remember it wasn't like this before..."
"I guess something big happened. I just came from Antelope City yesterday, and there are a lot of guards there. The soldiers in the whole city are moving. The whole city is searching for someone, and the city is full of storms..."
"You don't know this, my cousin is the captain of the city guards in a nearby city. I heard that a spies from the Gesen Kingdom broke into our Fenglan Kingdom and took the most elite Fengyun guards of our Fenglan Kingdom. They killed more than 300 people, robbed a large number of demon cores and escaped, and now His Majesty the King is furious, and the whole kingdom is trying its best to find this spy..."
Many people at the gate of the city were talking and talking about this matter with gusto, and when Jian Chen heard these words, a sneer appeared on the corners of his mouth. What is certain is that the loss of this batch of demon cores is a serious threat to the Kingdom of Fenglan. That said, it's definitely an unbearable loss.
After waiting in line for a long time, as the people in front entered the city gate one by one, it was finally Jian Chen's turn.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Several soldiers immediately stopped Jian Chen and the two of them and asked.
Jian Chen smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, both of us are mercenaries. Of course, we entered the city for the purpose of lodging and replenishing some necessary items." After speaking, Jian Chen took out his mercenary badge.
The soldier pretended to take Jian Chen's mercenary badge and checked it out, then glanced up and down the figures of Jian Chen and Ming Dong, and said, "You don't look like your thin skin and tender meat. Spies, come in!"
Jian Chen and the two walked into the city gate without any hindrance. Afterwards, Jian Chen found that the streets and alleys in the city were covered with portraits. The figures on the portraits were similar to Jian Chen, but it was strange that there was no Draw what the person looks like.
"How could it be possible to find a spy with just such a portrait? We don't even know what the spy Zhang looks like. How can we find it..."
"I don't know what the spy looks like. Even if he is standing opposite me, I can't recognize him. Alas, why don't you put the portrait of the spy on the flower? How can you find it with just a picture."
There are still many people watching around the portrait, and everyone is full of complaints.
"Hehe, does the King of Fenglan Kingdom still want to find someone with such a portrait? This is simply a fool's dream. There are many people with such a figure, and they are all over the street. All people with similar body shapes and portraits will be arrested." Seeing such a portrait without facial features, Jian Chen smiled cheerfully.
"Yeah, I don't know what the murderer looks like, so the portrait posted like this is completely a decoration." Ming Dong, who was standing next to him, also agreed.
Jian Chen and Ming Dong left here and walked towards the city. After some inquiries, they came to a market specializing in monster mounts.
The World of Warcraft mounts trading market was relatively deserted. In a huge grass hut, there were only more than thirty monsters of various kinds lying quietly there.
Although the Warcraft mounts sold in the trading market are all very docile types and have almost no offensive ability, they are very expensive and few people can afford them, so there are not many people in the magical trading market.
In the Warcraft mount trading market, Jian Chen spent 500 purple gold coins to buy two Tier 3 Warcraft mounts that were good at running long distances, then rested in the city for a night, and left the city early the next morning.
There is still half a year before the mercenary event, and during this time, Jian Chen and the two have to keep on their way, because it is too far from the city of mercenaries, and they need to pass through several kingdoms. There are hundreds of thousands of kilometers of hiking.
Jian Chen and Ming Dong rode on the third-tier demon beast mounts and ran on the official road at a speed of thousands of miles a day. The dust splashed into the back and formed a rolling dragon, which made many caravan mercenaries on the official road. They cursed one after another, but seeing that the two of them were riding a third-order magical beast mount, they were not ordinary, so no one dared to offend them.
Two days later, Jian Chen and the two left Fenglan Kingdom and ran along a straight line on the plain.
The two of them worked hard during the day and set up tents to practice at night. In the past two weeks, they have traveled through three kingdoms and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.
On a plain, Jian Chen and Ming Dong stopped by the road to rest. Jian Chen was watching with a map in his hand, comparing where they were now.
"Mingdong, look at the instructions on the map. There is a first-class city 50 kilometers ahead. Let's go to rest first. By the way, we can see if there are any better Warcraft mounts for sale." Jian Chen stared at the map and nodded. said without lifting.
Ming Dong unscrewed the lid of the kettle and drank a few sips of water, saying: "Well, you are not short of money anyway, our mounts should be replaced with better ones, although the speed of these third-order Warcraft mounts is also limited. It’s not slow, but it will take at least two or three months to think of the city of mercenaries at this speed.”
Afterwards, Jian Chen and Ming Dong rode the third-tier demon beast mounts and entered the first-tier city called "Valorance".
As a first-class city, Valorance covers a very large area. It is full of prosperity. The main road is very wide and can accommodate ten carriages running side by side at the same time. There are some shops and restaurants selling various items on both sides of the street. , the mercenaries and caravans coming and going on the street are in an endless stream, and the voices are full of people.
The city of Valorance is very well managed. The streets are very clean, and there is no garbage and waste thrown away. The streets are all pedestrians passing by, unlike the city of Vac, where the streets are full of mercenaries. Street stalls, just from this point, can see the gap between the first-tier big cities and the third-tier small cities.
Suddenly, a messy hoof sound came from behind. Hearing the sound, Jian Chen looked back and saw a large group of well-dressed supporters and a very luxuriously decorated carriage galloping from behind. On the carriage, A yellow flag hangs high on it and flutters in the wind, with the word "Qin" printed on it.
