the next day!
Xia Yan wrote a letter. Then hang it around the dog's neck with a rope.
Although there are also postmen in the city, with their speed, it may take at least ten days to deliver this letter to Yushui City. Once back and forth, I am afraid that there will be a delay of nearly a month.
Therefore, Xia Yan finally decided to let the dog send the letter back, and then brought Xiaoqing to Ziye City.
Ordinary carriages can travel from Yushui City to Purple Leaf City in four days, and at the speed of a local dog after transforming, it can be reached in one morning!
"Remember, you must not lose the letter. When you arrive at Xia's house, give this letter to the patriarch Xia Feilong. After the patriarch reads it, he will arrange for Xiaoqing to be delivered. You also follow Xiaoqing, Protect her on the way!" Xia Yan told the dog again.
The earth dog nodded its head, its spirituality was extremely high, and its intelligence was no worse than that of a normal person, so it naturally understood what Xia Yan meant.
"Okay, let's go!" Xia Yan waved his hand.
"Whoosh..."
Under the light of the morning, the earth dog turned into a black shadow and disappeared on the street in the distance.
And Xia Yan stood in the courtyard and drew out his long sword. Stand still.
Heaven, earth, and people!
Gradually, Xia Yan's breath became lighter and weaker. In the end, it disappeared completely.
If someone enters the courtyard at this time, they probably won't see Xia Yan at the first time. At this time, Xia Yan seems to be completely integrated between the sky and the earth, and has become a part of nature like the air, trees, and rivers between the sky and the earth.
If Xia Yan can maintain such a state of mind in the evil forest, then ordinary beasts will not find Xia Yan's existence even if they are beside Xia Yan.
This is a wonderful realm.
Xia Yan, who was standing still, was actually constantly displaying his sword skills. In my mind, in my heart, Xia Yan's sword skills are dancing fast, outsiders can't see it, but Xia Yan knows it.
"The sword in my heart can be faster." After Xia Yan performed a set of sword skills, he stopped practicing in his mind. "In reality, when performing sword skills, it will be affected by many things, such as air. Air has resistance, and the sword you use The faster the skill, the greater the resistance. And practicing it in the mind is the greatest power of the sword skill!"
Shaking his head, Xia Yan sighed slightly, "It's a pity. If the resistance of various factors can be overcome in reality, then the power of the sword skill will be greatly improved. The speed will be faster. Before the enemy reacts, just one The sword kills the enemy!"
…
"Excuse me, have you completed the task in Purple Leaf City?!"
On the afternoon of the third day, Xia Yan appeared in the mercenary hall with a blue first-class medal hanging on his chest.
Standing in front of the counter, Xia Yan looked at a staff member inside and asked. The other party was a woman in her twenties, with an upper-middle appearance, small and exquisite.
The staff member looked up at Xia Yan, picked up a booklet in his hand, opened it and politely said to Xia Yan: "Today, there are a total of 137 missions completed in Ziye City. There are twenty-two first-level tasks, please take a look!"
When the staff saw the brochure placed in front of Xia Yan, there was a professional smile on the corner of their mouths.
Xia Yan swept his eyes away, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Quests at this level are really too simple to be simple, basically they are all tasks of finding objects or people. The completion locations are indeed in Ziye City. And most of them are time-limited.
Twenty-two tasks, all recorded on one page. From top to bottom, Xia Yan didn't see the mission that might be about that lady.
"I want to know if someone in Ziye City recently released a mission about forced marriage!" Xia Yan asked with a wry smile, and then quickly added, "It's related to the Song family in Ziye City, that's the one." Song Yuxin."
That day in Tianxing Pavilion, Xia Yan didn't hear clearly, and didn't know what the maid and the young lady were talking about. Just know a little bit, they mentioned a person named Song Yuxin.
Hearing Xia Yan's words, the staff member's expression changed, and he looked at Xia Yan in astonishment.
"There is... this mission!" After a while, the staff member said slowly.
Then, she took another of the several booklets placed in front of her, the sixth-level task marked on the cover!
"Su Li released a mission three days ago, which was about his daughter. Song Yuxin, the young master of the Song family, proposed marriage to Miss Su's family, but was rejected, so he forced a competition agreement with the Su family!" The staff looked at the roster, " This mission does not limit the number of people, but so far, no mercenary is willing to accept this mission!"
"Why?!" Xia Yan was surprised.
There are so many mercenaries in Purple Leaf City, why no one accepts this task
"Because this task is related to the Song family in Ziye City." The staff member's eyes flickered and he looked at Xia Yan.
"Sir, you are only a first-level mercenary, it is best not to accept this mission."
"Oh..." Xia Yan smiled, he heard what the staff member said. I understood, shook my head and said: "Then what is the standard for completing this task?!"
"This needs to be confirmed by Mr. Su Li himself. I think that if he wins the competition tomorrow, he should have completed the task. This sixth-level task has very rich rewards, but it is likely to offend the Song family. In Zi Ye Cheng offended the Song family..." The staff member said in a deep voice, and didn't continue.
Xia Yan nodded and said: "Then I will accept this task! By the way, if I can't complete it, will there be any punishment?!"
"Sir is a first-level mercenary now, and there will be no downgrade punishment. However, it will have a certain impact on your mission completion rate!" The staff sighed secretly, she was also kind, and hoped that Xia Yan would not take risks Take this task. However, adventurers have the right to accept any quest, and she can't refuse, so she can only say a few more words.
The final right to choose is still in the hands of the adventurer himself.
The task completion rate means that if a person takes the risk of accepting one hundred tasks, if he completes ninety of them, then the task completion rate is ninety percent!
"Well, then I'll take this task!" Xia Yan nodded slightly.
After some registration. Xia Yan got a sign about this task.
For each mission, there will be a mission card. When accepting a mission, you will get this mission card, and after completing it, return the mission card to the mercenary hall.
Seeing Xia Yan turn and leave, the staff member shook his head slightly, with a look of pity in his eyes.
From her point of view, maybe after Xia Yan accepts this task, she will never come back.
"Only in his teens, so young, and so good-looking. Why do you want to accept such an impossible task? So many mercenaries dare not accept this task..."
Xia Yan naturally didn't know what this staff member was thinking.
After accepting the task, Xia Yan didn't go back to her yard, but went directly to Su's house.
The address of the Su family is listed on the mission, which is not far from the mercenary hall. The Su family is a businessman. Su Li used to be a commoner, but later he became richer and richer by doing business and running the silk business.
In Ziye City and several surrounding counties, there are shops of the Su family. Su Li has only one daughter named Su Qin.
"It's here!"
Xia Yan stopped outside the courtyard of the Su family's mansion.
Outside the gate of the mansion, there were two guards guarding the gate. Rich families like this will hire guards to guard the courtyard.
Xia Yan straightened her clothes and walked slowly towards the main entrance.
"Please stop, this is the Su family's private residence!" A guard stopped Xia Yan, looked him up and down, and then said politely.
"But Boss Su's house?!" Xia Yan stopped and asked with a smile.
"Exactly, may I ask who you are?!" The guard flashed his eyes and said to Xia Yan.
"I'm a mercenary, and I'm here to accept the mission issued by Boss Su!" Xia Yan pointed to the blue medal on his chest and said.
"You accepted the mission?!" The guard beamed with joy, and immediately said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, sir, I will inform the master!"
Three days passed, and none of the mercenaries accepted this task. This made the Su family very uneasy.
The Su family also offered a huge reward for this mission, but still no mercenary was willing to take this mission. Tomorrow is the date of the competition. If the Su family cannot win in the competition, then Miss Su Qin must marry Song Yuxin from the Song family!
"Okay!" Xia Yan nodded and smiled.
The guard quickly entered the yard.
The Su family's mansion is not very big. Xia Yan checked it visually, and it was about five or six times larger than the yard he bought. Compared with some family mansions, it is much smaller.
However, the Su family is just a small family. It's not a family with a lot of people. No matter how big the yard is, only those few people live there.
Standing in front of the door for a while, Xia Yan heard many footsteps coming from the courtyard. It seemed that it wasn't just the guards who went in that came out.
Xia Yan looked at the main entrance, and sure enough, the first person to come out was an old man in a fine attire.
After the old man came out, he saw Xia Yan at a glance, but his eyes didn't stay long, and he immediately looked to the left and right.
Then he turned to the guard and asked, "You said that a mercenary took over the mission, where is he?"
The guard quickly pointed to Xia Yan and said, "Master, it's him, he is the mercenary who has accepted the mission!"
"Master, look, he still has a medal on his chest!" The guard looked at Xia Yan and said.
"Ah?!" The old man's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xia Yan again, and he saw the blue medal, "Mercenary?!"
"Level 1 mercenary?!" The old man's eyes lit up first, and then quickly darkened. Obviously, a first-level mercenary is not the ideal object in the old man's heart.
"Is it Boss Su?!" Xia Yan smiled and clasped his fists.
Although the old man was not very satisfied, he still smiled and clasped his fists together and said, "It's Su Li, sir, please come in!"
In any case, at least some mercenaries accepted the mission. For three days in a row, not even a single mercenary showed up, so Su Li was naturally extremely anxious.
Xia Yan nodded, raised his foot and walked inside.
