In the Canglong Continent, the folk customs are open, and men and women sit at the same table, so there is no need to avoid it. In Xuanwu Academy, most of the male and female students are mixed, and they usually compete in skills, so they are very equal.
Having said that, in some fields, there are natural barriers erected, there are more men than women, and the mercenary world is such a field.
Mercenaries live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. They claim to belong to the world of men. The scarcity of outstanding female mercenaries is comparable to that of eighth or ninth-level mysterious beasts, which can only be described as rare.
This point is similar to the espionage field in the 23rd century. The gap between men and women is also obvious in today's Canglong Continent.
There are five active mercenary kings in the mercenary world, four men and one woman. A large part of the reason why Lihuayu of the Lanjing mercenary group is famous is because of her appearance, and her sister Ligeshu is the deputy head of Lanjing's mercenary group.
The only two women in the Backfire Mercenary Group, one is the cook in the kitchen, and the other is the washerwoman who washes the clothes for the men.
A few days earlier, Ni Qianjun had already announced in front of everyone that he had invited a new alchemist, a female alchemist.
Hearing that there are women accompanying this mission, the single mercenaries of the Niuhuo mercenary regiment are all excited when they hear it. Now, when they look at the people, and then look at the restrained attitude of the deputy head of Ni Qianjun, They all understood that she was the newly invited alchemist.
Dozens of men looked as if they were retreating, disappointed and disappointed.
What catches the eye is a face that can no longer be described as beautiful or ugly, half ferocious and half glamorous, but the more so, the greater the visual conflict it brings to people.
"This is the new alchemist, she will be our follower alchemist from now on, living in the VIP tent next to me," Ni Qianjun didn't pay attention to the expressions of the group of people below him, but Yue Jinghua's servants Bing's expression was all in his eyes.
Among them, there were a few gazes that were obviously not kind, and Yue Jinghua secretly remembered them in his heart.
A disdainful snort came from the crowd.
Feng Buhui disassembled the crossbow slowly, "Deputy leader, you rejected the excellent alchemist recommended by Miss Huaxue just because of such a person? Isn't this a joke? It depends on what kind of elixir she can concoct. , look at her pair of luggage, don't come out to play house."
While noticing Yue Jinghua's ugly face, the male mercenaries of the Backfire Mercenary Corps also noticed Yue Jinghua's amazingly beautiful legs.
Not everyone has leg control like Ni Qianjun, but everyone has also guessed the reason for Ni Qianjun's extraordinary love for Yue Jinghua.
Feng Buhui pointed to the luggage brought by Yue Jinghua, all of them were useless things, except that there were no alchemy utensils such as alchemy tripods commonly used by pharmacists.
"Shut up, if you hadn't chased away the alchemist from last time, why would I have to go to such troubles," Ni Qianjun was furious as he was stared at by a group of men.
Feng Buhui is one of the most powerful young mercenaries under him, and he was the first to support Ni Qianjun, so in front of Ni Qianjun, his words carry a lot of weight, and only Feng Buhui dares to speak against Ni Qianjun. Speak harsh words in front of you.
However, everyone also knows that Feng Buhui is one of Li Huaxue's suitors.
"Alchemy is a very core existence. I don't want people recommended by other mercenary groups to take on the role. I have repeatedly emphasized this point. I don't want anyone to mention this to me again. What happened," Ni Qianjun was displeased, based on his understanding of these mercenaries, they would not let it go, he had to be careful.
"Deputy head, don't blame me, Manzi, for not listening to you. It's because alchemists are very important. I don't want an incident like Vanuri's last time. She's not even a mercenary. If Head Backfire finds out , he will also agree with the opinions of the brothers," Manzi scratched his head, quite suspicious of Yue Jinghua.
Hearing Manzi mention Vanuri, the dozen or so mercenaries present all looked regretful, and Ni Qianjun, who was about to get angry, also showed a bit of sadness.
Vanuri is a young mercenary in the regiment. In the last mission, due to the wrong medicine dispensed by the alchemist accompanying the team, Vanuri delayed the time of medical treatment and was forced to amputate his legs, ending his mission early. mercenary career.
It was also because of this incident that Feng Buhui and his gang used tricks to drive away the alchemist from Danlu.
The new female alchemist didn't have the slightest trace of being a mercenary. Every alchemist who entered the mercenary regiment was at least an old alchemist who had done many mercenary missions.
As for Yue Jinghua, obviously not.
There is a saying in the mercenary world that they are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.
This time the blue diamond mission has a long period and is not easy. No one wants to have another teammate who is holding back in the regiment.
"Then, everyone here, what should I do to accept the alchemist I call the Nihuo Mercenary Group, a respected alchemist." Yue Jinghua suddenly said, interrupting Ni Qianjun to continue words.
Ni Qianjun understood what Yue Jinghua meant. If the mercenaries could not accept her, it would be difficult for Yue Jinghua to survive in the Nihuo mercenary group.
"Successfully arrived at the small town of Sabah. With your own strength, the title of two-star mercenary obtained there is qualified to cooperate with us and complete this mission." Feng Buhui looked at each other with more than a dozen other mercenaries. They glanced at each other and said in unison.
In the end, under the provocation of Feng Buhui and others, Ni Qianjun almost didn't deal with Feng Buhui according to regiment rules, but under the pressure of a group of old mercenaries, Yue Jinghua, who didn't want to embarrass Ni Huo, agreed voluntarily. Feng Bugui's request.
Accompanied by Ni Qianjun, Yue Jinghua passed through the four-square profound formation of the Shang Kingdom, and arrived at the mercenary town closest to the Shang Kingdom - Shaba Town.
The continuous scrambling of rocks and the whimpering wind of Gobi swords are gradually approaching, and the small town of Sabah is clearly visible like a masked beauty whose veil has been blown away.
Sabah town is also known as Sabah mercenary town. For the mercenaries in the Eastern Continent, the mercenary town is a familiar name.
Mercenary town does not specifically refer to a town, it is a code name, it is to facilitate the activities of mercenaries, and it is funded and built by the mercenary union. .
The largest mercenary town on the mainland is called Ge Yue, and its location has never been officially announced to the public. Legend has it that only the best mercenaries have the opportunity to enter Geyue Town once, which is also the camp of top mercenaries.
It is said that at the entrance of Geyue town, there is a golden cemetery, where the strong mercenaries who have made outstanding contributions to the mainland and the mercenary world are buried forever. Only the strong who have been awarded the title of "Mercenary Soul" by the Mercenary Union can be eligible to be buried there.
Everything about the mercenary town was told by Ni Qianjun to Yue Jinghua before he came.
The mercenary town closest to Shang Kingdom is Sabah Town, a typical northwest town.
It is like a comprehensive post station, providing various services for mercenaries. There is also a branch of the mercenary union in the town, which provides assessments for hot-blooded girls who volunteer to become mercenaries.
"Actually, you don't need to pay attention to the gossip in the group. I've already taught that kid Feng Buhui a lesson. He won't even want to get out of bed for half a month," Ni Qianjun had already persuaded Yue Jinghua several times. The itchy Feng Buhui, needless to say, was taught a lesson by Ni Qianjun.
"I've already decided. Thank you for accompanying me to the small town of Sabah. You can go back." The secret mission this time has a very long period, and the corresponding preparation period is also very long, which just gives Yue Jinghua enough time to come Complete the mercenary assessment.
"I'll accompany you to participate in the assessment," Ni Qianjun said as he gritted his fists and people came out of the square profound formation one after another, many of them knew Ni Qianjun. Seeing Ni Qianjun standing next to an ugly woman, he looked at them a few more times.
The square profound formation is a kind of teleportation formation that uses mysterious cores as the energy source. In the capitals and big cities of every country, there will be a square profound formation. It is also a convenient way for mercenaries and mystics to migrate around.
"Ni Qianjun, how long can you stay with me? Once or forever?" Yue Jinghua teased in a relaxed tone, her long black hair was dancing in the sand wind like the strongest branches of willows, her eyes were shining brightly. The corners of her mouth curved into a confident arc, which seemed to have a kind of magical power, with an inexplicable power that made people palpitate, so Ni Qianjun had to soften his attitude.
Ni Qianjun frowned, and said in a low voice: "You, be careful. If someone bullies you, report my name."
Yue Jinghua smiled, this guy, why is he such a mother-in-law. She strode forward noncommittally, raised her right hand high, and under the scorching sun, she made a gesture like scissors in her hand, "See you in Boluo City in a month."
The desolate desert, the back view of the girl walking alone, at that moment, was forever etched into Ni Qianjun's mind, immortal.
No one knows, at that very moment, it was she, the girl who looked like a lone wolf in Mobei, with her unique "v" gesture, slowly opened the immortal prelude to the legendary king of the mercenary world .
The world is in chaos, heroes appear, and the wind on the Gobi is whimpering like a clarion call to war.
Sabah is located at the entrance of Tak Gobi, the largest Gobi rocky beach in the eastern mainland, because the town has the only artesian spring in the whole Gobi. It was expanded into a mercenary town by the mercenary union about 50 years ago. .
Every year, countless mercenaries pass by here. The living environment here is very harsh. There are all kinds of poisonous mysterious beasts haunting the Gobi, and there are many middle-level mysterious beasts among them. Compared with Baishou Mountain, the environment outside the town It is obviously much more complicated, which is why it was chosen as the assessment site by the mercenary union.
Zac is a 23-year-old young man. He is an aboriginal resident of a small town in Sabah. He has the outline of an outlander from a northwest minority. Indigenous people like him are no longer seen in today's small towns in Sabah.
After the small town of Sabah was called a mercenary town, most of the people in Sabah moved out. Most of the remaining people stayed in the town because they wanted to operate mercenary business. A small number of people were Too poor to be able to leave town. Zach falls into the latter category.
Zac's parents were a pair of mercenaries. After a poisonous insect outbreak in a small town in Sabah, both parents died, leaving Zac and his fourteen-year-old sister. Zac's younger sister fell ill with tuberculosis, and the two had no money to leave the small town of Sabah.
Fortunately, Zak is smart and hard-working. He soon found a job in a small town in Sabah. With this job and the stone house left by his parents, the brother and sister barely survived.
On this day, Zach squatted under the weathered wall corner of Sabah town as usual.
At this time, a strange woman came from the stone wall at the entrance of the town that was about to collapse at any time.
She didn't bring any luggage, and she didn't have any companions. She had an extremely beautiful and extremely ugly face. But these are nothing in Zach's eyes. There are many mercenaries with missing arms, broken legs, and mutilated faces in the mercenary town.
"That's her," Zach patted his butt, and approached the strange woman unhurriedly.
After Yue Jinghua and Ni Qianjun parted ways, they walked for a while before seeing the whole picture of Sabah Town clearly.
Stone houses made of stone can be seen everywhere in this adventurous town in the Gobi.
Due to the fact that there are flying mysterious beasts in the Gobi, they are afraid of attracting attacks from mysterious beasts. The floors in the town are generally not high, making the entire Sabah town look like an empty quarry.
There were not many people on the street, and a few mercenaries with indifferent faces occasionally passed by.
Not far away, a dirty figure followed up, and before he had walked a few steps, he suddenly bumped into Yue Jinghua with a "Ouch".
