As far as the Dachang Empire is concerned, it is naturally unwilling to see the rise of such a dynamic non-governmental organization.
However, anyone who has the skill of slaying dragons has a little bit of arrogance in their hearts, and it is impossible to accept strong control. Once they are suppressed, they will rise up without even thinking about it.
Among the extraordinary people in this world, there are many who can rival the true gods of the land. After several bloody battles and even major cases that shocked the East and the West, the two sides finally reached a compromise. down.
Having power naturally requires the right to speak.
Not to mention, this world is not dominated by the Dachang Empire. Even if we only consider human beings, there are also Western countries, and the Dachang Empire has nothing to do.
"It looks like a western mercenary alliance..."
Wu Ming stood in front of the huge door of the federation, looking at the bustling crowd, thoughtful.
The federation is just a big framework, or a loose alliance of oriental cultivators, under which Paul Vientiane, warriors, Taoist priests, Gu masters... even martial arts gyms and many schools can be placed under its name.
Even within the alliance, there is mutual filth, if it is not for the great external pressure, it will be completely disorganized.
As soon as he entered the alliance, the bustling stream of people and a huge screen with constantly changing text appeared in front of him, which made Wu Ming feel like he had come to a western mercenary guild.
"Recruit manpower and crusade against the barbarians! The daily reward is one silver and five baht, and beheading is not counted!"
"Urgently looking for a navigator, the treatment is favorable, and the salary is negotiable!"
"Hunting mission - my proprietor is seriously ill and urgently needs fresh Xiangwang whale oil to hang himself, but it is for sale, so it is urgent..."
…
A variety of mission terms are constantly flashing on the screen, with mysterious and unpredictable power.
Of course, the top one is still a blood-red mission: "Chasing and killing the Xiyi people who are causing trouble in the New Territories Port. This mission is issued by the Fufeng Protectorate! Those who complete it will be credited with military merit and will be used as the basis for future awards!"
Although there are no other extra rewards, it can be seen that many practitioners are eager for this task.
After all, the titles of the Dachang Empire are still quite valuable. Leaving aside the sons, uncles, and marquises who split the country, as long as they enter the lowest rank of samurai, even if they are corporals, they can be exempted from tax and corvee. At the first level, it can also protect the family.
And Qing? Not to mention, the other party has a small county as his food town, and he is an absolute top dignitary in the Dachang Empire.
The Dachang Empire has a strict order that 'non-military merit is not honorable', so military merit rewards are still very popular. At least after the task, the dense reception records let Wu Ming know its popularity, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for those daring Xiyi bandits. There was a moment of silence.
"However, magic was used in a small branch?"
Wu Ming looked at the constantly changing screen.
Obviously, ordinary technology can't reach this level at all. The only explanation is that there are mages behind the scenes.
This kind of luxury is even better than other worlds.
According to the information Wu Ming got from Zhang Fan's memory, no matter in the East or the West, all kinds of supernatural magic techniques are applied to the international people's livelihood, especially the existence of the True God, which further promotes this.
In the Dachang Empire, there was a Shinto boss named Shennong, who was in charge of gods related to agriculture. Most of his priests and priests were proficient in agricultural production, and they had many magical techniques, which could ensure fertile soil and five grains. Harvest.
There are even dedicated gods of wind and rain... to ensure that the entire empire is in good weather, and that floods and droughts follow people.
Among the folks, there are all kinds of cultivators who slay demons and demons, save the world and help the people, and most of them are like the current mage, who silently serve the folks with extraordinary power.
"What kind of world is this..."
Wu Ming sighed silently.
Because of so much power, the level of civilization in this world has surpassed the steampunk world I experienced before, and it may not even be comparable to the previous life.
After all, although artificial rainfall is powerful, can it manipulate the weather across the country
Dachang Empire can do it!
"I want to borrow books from the Federation's collection. I don't know what conditions are required?"
Wu Ming came under the mission card and asked the waitress directly.
"Borrowing books from the Federation's collection?"
The waitress was a woman in a cloud shirt and skirt, with two sweet dimples on her face when she smiled, she smiled and said: "Guests, you first need to become a member of our federation, the registration procedure is very simple... what?" , you are an overseas Chinese and do not have a household registration in your home country? Then you need a guarantee from a local member and a certain fee.”
"Well, this is simple..."
In fact, just when Wu Ming agreed on the surface and secretly prepared to test whether the branch's defenses were tight, he moved his ears, and a voice next to him broke into his ears.
"Miss Zhang Guo, I'm very sorry, I think the task you applied for has exceeded your ability!"
On Wu Ming's left, a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old was wearing leather armor, her small face was full of stubbornness: "Uncle, please help me, the end of the month is coming soon, if you can't get a With a large amount of contribution points, my rank in the federation will definitely be lowered, and I will definitely be demoted to an outer disciple by the academy."
"Zhang Guo?"
Wu Ming turned his head in surprise, and immediately combined the girl with a certain figure in Zhang Fan's memory: "Zhang Fan's younger sister? What a coincidence?"
At this time, I looked carefully, and I saw that the girl was still childish, her hair was simply tied into a bunch of strings, full of a sense of heroism, the sword hanging from her waist, obviously already opened, and there was a holster, the contents inside Wu Ming looked quite familiar: "Fire gun? No, according to the name of the Dachang Empire, it should be a machine gun?"
After all, it is a world that often accepts traversers, and there are always some novelty things on the market. Even Wu Ming seems to be full of sci-fi creations.
It's a pity that the cultivation base of this piece of fruit is still too low, it's only at the first or second level, and even the sword energy has not been cultivated.
In this low-level stage, a mechanism blunderbuss is naturally very effective in protecting oneself and killing enemies.
"Who are you, why are you staring at people like this?"
The little girl's perception is very keen. Wu Ming looked at it so brazenly, and she was immediately noticed by her. She stared back like a little wild cat, baring its teeth and claws.
"Little girl, I think you have misunderstood. Do you have an older brother named Zhang Fan? Is he the owner of the Four Seas Trading Company?"
Wu Ming smiled.
The guard on Zhang Guo's face quickly disappeared: "How do you know?"
"I am an overseas adventurer. I just met your brother in the open sea. I was entrusted with sending a letter from home... I have already handed it over to the shopkeeper Xiang Zhitian."
"You know Uncle Xiang? That shouldn't be a liar!"
The girl's vigilance disappeared quickly, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face again: "Brother, are you a very powerful adventurer? Form a team with me! Then we can take on the mission of the Protectorate!"
"Feel sorry… "
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders: "You forgot that I am a foreigner, and my identity as an adventurer is not recognized at all here."
"Is that so..."
Zhang Guo shook his head regretfully, his face was full of disappointment.
"Ahem... Actually, it's not impossible!"
At this time, the uncle next to him interrupted: "As long as you apply for a team, little girl, and then let him join as a foreign mercenary, it's fine, but if you do this, the merit points and contribution points are not as good as his." share..."
"Yes!"
The little girl's eyes lit up: "I'll apply immediately!"
"Wait a minute!"
There is a slight black line on Wu Ming's forehead. I feel that this little girl is facing an acquaintance, why is her thinking so out of touch
"First of all, you still can't confirm my identity!"
He compared two fingers: "What if I am a bad person? And second, I haven't agreed to your request yet!"
"Don't do this, big brother!"
Zhang Guo, on the other hand, looked familiar, and grabbed his sleeve and shook it lightly: "Adventurers who dare to go out to sea are all very powerful, just like my elder brother, who has catkin-like swordsmanship and can fight seven times in a row." The lecturers in the Sword Academy are full of praise... "
'As a result, he is still locked up and eating in prison! '
Wu Ming rolled his eyes in his heart.
"How about this, I will send you back to the Four Seas Trading Company first, and you tell me the cause and effect, and then I will consider whether to help you, how about it?"
Since he took Zhang Fan's things, there is a natural reason for this.
It is also fate that this fruit can make me come across it. If it is something that can be solved easily, Wu Ming doesn't mind helping.
"Is such that… "
Hearing that she was going back to Sihai Commercial Bank, the last worry in the little girl's heart disappeared, and she took Wu Ming's hand and walked out of the union.
"... I'm an official student of Huaxia Academy, and I'll be promoted to a disciple soon!"
The little girl announced proudly, and immediately, through her narration, Wu Ming probably knew the difficulties the little girl was facing.
Although the academy is a place where you can learn skills by paying money, but for the true inheritance, it still depends on the qualifications.
Zhang Guo's qualifications are neither bad nor bad, and he was barely valued by a lecturer at Huaxia Academy and became a regular student.
For this kind of students, the treatment is different from that of ordinary self-financed students, and the requirements are much stricter. There are many semester tasks. If they cannot complete them, they will face the risk of demotion and expulsion.
In the previous big exams, Zhang Guo barely passed with the help of Zhang Fan and others, but this time Zhang Fan had something to do and did not return, and a group of her friends and classmates were all busy with their own tasks, and the little girl immediately sat on the wax.
"My task this year is to maintain the membership level of the federation, and to upgrade to the Sanye level, which is just a little short..."
Zhang Guo said pitifully.
