At this time, there was another girl singing on the stage. She had golden hair and a charming dimple on her face. She was wearing an imitation priest's robe and was holding a prop book in her hand. Bruce, the holy priest who is currently performing the story of Seven Heroes, held the "Praise of Light" and spread the blessings of the gods of light to a civilian who was injured by the war.
Ryan saw that it was already getting late, not to mention that the later volumes of the "Epic of Heroes" mainly described some things after the war, which were not as attractive as the previous ones. He pulled Allendo's clothes and motioned for Allendo to leave with him.
There were far fewer people gathered around the platform to watch the performance than at noon, and Allendo followed Ryan out.
After walking out of the central square, both Ryan and Alando felt hungry, so they found a place to fill their stomachs.
After eating, the two of them walked around again, then left the city and returned to the campsite.
The next day, Ryan got up early. Although the Victory Day celebration always lasted for three days, Ryan did not plan to go shopping anymore. He calculated the time. It had been almost a month since he left his hometown. It was less than three months before the Royal Athletic Competition. It would take about 10 days to walk from Alpha City to the imperial capital of Fernando City. Calculated this way , there is only a little more than 2 months left to prepare for the trial of his coming-of-age ceremony. In just 60 days, he had to find other teammates and allow a long time for them to get along. Ryan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Ryan squatted on the ground, holding a branch and scratching unconsciously in the soil. He was troubled by this matter. After much deliberation, Ryan couldn't come up with any good solution. He decided to use the stupidest and most effective method at present, which is to wait at the mercenary guild every day. There will always be a mercenary group recruiting people or someone who hopes to recruit people. Let's work together to complete the mission, right? Can you find someone when you see it
Ryan told Allen Duo about his plan, and Allen Duo had no better way, so he agreed with Ryan's opinion.
Ryan waited in the lobby of the Mercenary Guild for two consecutive days, but could not find a suitable companion. Alpha City is so big, and the Mercenary Guild has many mercenaries coming in and out every day. Unfortunately, most tasks are relatively simple and do not require Too many mercenaries can complete it, and naturally no one will invite others to collaborate. Occasionally, there is a rather troublesome task that requires gathering many people to complete, and it is the type of going deep into the Hengduan Mountains to hunt high-level monsters. Ryan calculated that it would take three months to come out no matter how soon, and the competitive competition would not be able to catch up by then.
"Alas" Ryan sighed and stretched. During the past few days in the mercenary guild hall, Ryan felt too bored. Watching other mercenaries coming in and out, Ryan felt a little nostalgic about his days in his hometown, thinking about the barbecue his mother made, and thinking about interesting things from his childhood. , thinking of Teacher Jhalib.
Thinking of Teacher Ghalib, Ryan immediately remembered the scene when he was studying martial arts with him. It was really hard at that time. Every morning, he had to run twenty laps around Dense Fog Town carrying a large wooden stake as high as a person. Then we can rest for a while and have breakfast. We do strength training in the morning, and go hiking in the afternoon. Ryan has been to all the cliffs near Dense Fog Town. Those steep cliffs scared Ryan almost to give up when he was a child. How did you persist at that time
Thinking of this, Ryan was secretly alert, what did he do? If I liked the life in my hometown so much, why did I have to work so hard to learn martial arts from Teacher Jialibu? Why take risks now? Isn't it just a little setback in front of you
Ryan quickly cheered up. He took a deep breath and said to himself: "Lian, you have to be stronger. No matter how big the difficulty is, it will pass. Isn't it just that you can't find a companion? The big deal is for the two of us. Yue worked hard to complete mercenary tasks to get some money, and then I posted a task to recruit companions in the mercenary guild. I believe there are many adventurers like me who want to participate in the Royal Tournament but are troubled by the lack of companions. "
Thinking of this, Ryan had a smile on his face. He felt that the stone that was weighing on his heart was pushed away, and he felt indescribably relaxed. Ryan changed to a relaxed posture and ordered another large glass of juice. He made up his mind to wait for one more day. If there is still no suitable one, he would give up and complete his coming-of-age ceremony trial as he had just thought. This task can be posted to the mercenary guild in the imperial capital. I believe that on the eve of the competition, companions will be recruited.
Ryan drank the juice slowly, estimated the approximate cost of recruiting a companion, and calculated how many gold coins he would need to prepare.
A group of young mercenaries walked in, headed by a girl about 20 years old. She had a very delicate face, big blue eyes, a delicate nose, a small ruddy mouth, and a black head. Her hair was combed into neat braids and tied on the back of her head. She was wearing a red magician's robe, and the badge on her chest that symbolized the magician's identity was engraved with a flame and a ripple of water. She was holding a magic wand with a red magic core in her hand.
Next to the female magician is a man wearing a priest's robe. This man is about 27 or 27 years old. He has a very confident look on his face. He wears a white hat on his head. He held a silver-white hammer in his hand.
Following them was a woman whose whole body was covered in a cloak. Her face was also covered by a black cloak and her appearance could not be seen clearly, but judging from her figure, she was not too old.
Walking at the end was a male warrior of about thirty years old, wearing full steel armor. He held a sharp battle ax in his hand and a large shield on his back. It looked like he must be quite heavy as he walked. to make a dull sound.
As soon as this mercenary team entered the hall, it immediately attracted the attention of most mercenaries. A mercenary team with mages, priests, and warriors must be very strong. The woman covered in a cloak is probably a thief. What is such a mercenary team with a balanced professional mix doing in Alpha City
The four-person mercenary team walked towards Lucy. The female magician at the head asked a few questions in a low voice. Lucy had a look of embarrassment on her face, and she shook her head, indicating that she was helpless.
A burly mercenary next to him had a *smile on his face and said to the female magician: "Little sister, what's the use of finding a magician? The magician's body is not as strong as mine, why don't I follow you? Let's go. Let's kill monsters together during the day. It's okay at night..."
Before he finished speaking, a flash of white light was seen, and a sharp flying knife was inserted into the shoulder of the burly mercenary who was talking nonsense. The woman in the cloak made a clear voice: "Get out!"
The burly mercenary bent over in pain, and a companion holding a giant ax next to him shouted loudly: "It's just a verbal advantage, why do you hurt people?"
The male pastor said coldly: "Get out yourself, or we can help you get out."
The mercenary holding the giant ax laughed loudly: "I, Blood Ax, have been a mercenary for almost 10 years. I have killed many ferocious monsters. Why am I afraid of a pretty boy like you?"
The giant ax mercenary shouted: "Go to hell!" He swung the giant ax in his hand and struck the male priest.
The male priest's warrior companion quickly took off his shield from his back and faced the mercenary's giant axe.
The sound of huge metal collision filled the mercenary hall and attracted Ryan's attention.
Seeing someone starting a fight, the other mercenaries in the hall immediately dispersed and formed a large circle from a distance to watch the fun. Ryan also stood up and surrounded them.
The mercenaries holding giant axes and the male warriors wearing steel armor fought together, and the sound of metal collisions was heard continuously, making people's ears numb. The female magician frowned, expressing a hint of disgust at the harsh sound.
The burly mercenary who teased the female magician forcefully pulled out the throwing knife stuck in his shoulder. He said viciously: "I have been a mercenary for almost ten years, and this is the first time I have eaten this today." Damn it!" He shouted loudly: "Blood axe, beat hard, beat the man into a cripple, and take the woman away."
After hearing these words, the female magician completely lost her patience. She frowned and said, "We are not here to fight."
The male priest immediately said: "Okay, okay, I will deal with them right away." After saying that, the male priest raised the silver-white hammer and recited a spell, and a golden light emitted from the male priest's body, a wave of Pure power arose spontaneously, and this golden light attached to the body surface of the warrior in steel armor and the female thief in cloak, emitting a dazzling brilliance.
"Hey!" The soldier in steel armor shouted in joy. He swung his battle ax and blocked the mercenary's giant axe. Then he aimed the shield in his hand at the mercenary's head and hit him hard! Blood splattered on the face of the mercenary holding the giant axe. The warrior in steel armor pursued the victory and kicked the giant axe mercenary in the lower body. The giant axe mercenary screamed strangely and fell to the ground while covering his lower body. The mercenaries watching nearby couldn't help but gasped. It seemed that this mercenary was finished for the rest of his life.
The female thief in a cloak raised her hand and pulled out another throwing knife. The mercenary who called himself "Evil Ghost" was on guard and blocked the throwing knife with the two short axes in his hands. He was about to say something teasing. But he felt a pain in the back of his head and suddenly lost consciousness.
The male priest put away the silver-white hammer in his hand. Just now, he took advantage of the "evil ghost"'s attention being attracted by his companions, sneaked behind the "evil ghost", and hit him hard with the small hammer in his hand. He got a hit on the head!
