Genius Demon Empress Chapter 8: Death mission
The rookie mercenary team actually completed the first mercenary mission.
In less than two days, Yue Jinghua and Zac successfully collected a hundred poisonous scorpion needles.
The gambling with odds of one to ten in the tavern ended in a heady defeat by Johnny and others.
Locke and Yue Jinghua’s first mission was miraculously completed. Moreover, the entire mission process, not to mention personnel damage, was that the equipment of the two of them was undamaged.
After the successful completion of the venomous bee scorpion mission, in just one month, the rookie mercenary squad formed by Yue Jinghua and Zac, a pair of novices, rose at an astonishing speed and quickly became the Shaq mercenary. The small town made a name.
In the twenty-eighth day of the month, Yue Jinghua finally successfully completed the one-star mercenary assessment and was promoted to become a two-star mercenary.
After exchanging a brand new two-star badge from the Shaq Mercenary Guild, Yue Jinghua counted the time, and it was almost time to return to Perro City.
Before leaving the city of Polok, she wanted to bid farewell to Zac and his sister, Zaria, for the last time.
Although the time to get along is not long, in the past 20 days, Yue Jinghua has established a deep relationship with the Zac brothers and sisters.
When they came to the stone house of Zac’s house, Zac had not yet returned. After a month of team missions, Zach has accumulated a certain amount of experience and money. He has begun to accept mercenary missions independently, and he has begun to make some mercenary friends one after another. This made Yue Jinghua very gratified.
Zaria heard that Yue Jinghua was leaving, reluctantly pulled her into her house.
Zach’s house is very simple. Except for the tables and chairs used by the brothers and sisters in their daily lives, there are only bare walls and an incense table for Zach’s parents’ tablets.
Zarya made a cup of tea for Yue Jinghua, whispering like a little sparrow, and inquiring about the city of Pollo and the outside world from time to time.
"Leah, since you want to go out so much, you just leave the small town of Sabah with your brother. The outside world is much more interesting than the small town of Sabah," Yue Jinghua amused, after Zaria, she shook Shaking his head, "No, my brother said, this is our root, we can't leave the small town of Sabah.
Zac’s parents died in a strange sandstorm in the Tuck Desert ten years ago. The siblings did not even find the bones of their parents, and they could only worship their parents’ clothes.
For this, Zach has always been brooding about it. He has always wanted to go deep into the Tuck Desert to find the secret of his parents' death.
"Jinghua, you are here," Zach said cheerfully from outside, with a package of food and a small barrel of bitter ale in his hand.
Yue Jinghua noticed that Zach today is a little different from usual, with a big guy wrapped in white cloth behind his back.
According to the shape, Yue Jinghua could see that it was a thick sword.
On the Canglong Continent, there are many basalt players who use swords, but not many people who can use big swords. The power required to wield a big sword is much higher than that of an ordinary sword. The lethality of the great sword is amazing, but its sensitivity is not high, and the physical ability of the great sword is extremely high.
And the big sword on Zac's back is different from the ordinary big sword. It is very short and only hangs down to Zach's waist. Such a short sword, compared to Zac's thin and tall figure, seemed funny.
"This sword was left by my father. He found it in the ruins deep in the desert when he crossed the Tuck Desert for the last time." Zach noticed Yue Jinghua's gaze.
"This is a broken sword, not suitable for use in combat," Yue Jinghua said.
"Yes, it looks like this when I picked it up. It looks tattered, but because my father left it, it has a special meaning. The blacksmith in the town can’t repair this sword. I plan to carry it back. With it, go to the city of Babel on the other side of the desert to find someone to try."
"Brother, don't talk about it. Sister Jinghua said she is leaving," Zaria said sadly. She also knew that because of Yue Jinghua, the lives of her and her brother had improved.
The smile on Zach's face disappeared.
He was silent, looked at Yue Jinghua for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Going? Yes, you said, you only stay in the small town of Sabah for a month. When you come, you invite me Drink, when you leave, I will invite you to drink, which is regarded as practice."
The place where Zac invited Yue Jinghua to drink was the "Coconut Shell" pub where the two drank for the first time.
The location is the same, and the people are the same, but today’s Zach looked a little unhappy, saying that Yue Jinghua was invited to drink, but he was alone drinking.
"It's a pity, I planned to go on a mission with you this time," Zach spoke after drinking two full barrels of bitter ale.
After watching Yue Jinghua leave, Zach drank without a word.
"Zach, why don't you keep her? The girl is not good, but she can live a life," the bearded Walton, who led Zac to participate in the next character, walked over.
"The goshawk will finally fly into the sky, and the horse must cross the grassland. She does not belong here," Zach touched his mouth, swallowed the bitterness into his stomach, and smiled reluctantly: "Uncle, what look in your eyes, she ."
Although Yue Jinghua has never mentioned her identity, but from her words and conversations, Zach can be sure that her origins will not be simple.
She is like a gust of wind flying through the Tuck Desert by chance. She can circle around without stopping.
The wind is gone, but the sand waits silently on the spot.
The wind whizzed across the desert, and the sand breeze continued.
As long as he arrives at the location of the Sifang Profound Formation, Yue Jinghua will be able to return to Poluo City.
After bidding farewell to the Zac brothers and sisters, before leaving the town, Yue Jinghua looked back at the small town of Sabah one last time.
On the other side of the small town, the sky towards the Tuck Desert is faintly red, like a piece of charcoal that suddenly ignites.
Rich knowledge of geography and climate in previous lives made Yue Jinghua realize that in the depths of the Tuck Desert, a big storm is approaching.
I remembered the caravan escorted by Zac. At this time, he should have entered the Tuck Gobi.
"Uncle Wharton led Zac to complete this character. He is an experienced veteran mercenary. He should have been prepared for this storm." The Sifang Teleportation Formation is transported back and forth once a day. It takes four times to teleport from the small town of Sabah to the city of Pero. If you miss this time, you must wait until five days before you can return to the city of Pero.
Yue Jinghua comforted herself while observing the changes in the sky above Taco Gobi.
"When the break is constant, let's not suffer the chaos," Yue Jinghua laughed at herself, and continued to walk forward.
In the vast Gobi Desert, the continuous wind and sand seem to have been blowing for centuries, never stopping.
A few star-sized people formed a line. It was a desert team composed of a few mercenaries and a caravan camel horse.
After leaving the small town of Sabah, Zach and others walked along the Mercenary Avenue to the depths of the Gobi.
As we go to the depths of the Tak Desert, the rare green leafy plants gradually disappear, and the Gobi rocky beaches are showing signs of desertification.
The heat wave penetrated the ground, drying out the sweat from the body, and a layer of dander-like salt formed on the skin.
"This **** weather, it's already in autumn, and it's as hot as a stove," muttered a young mercenary who participated in this mercenary mission with Zac and others.
Uncle Wharton, the old mercenary, raised his head. Between his eyebrows, there was an imperceptible trace of worry.
He raised his head and looked at the red sky. The unusual red, like a beast with an open mouth, gradually engulfed the entire Gobi. Even the wind in the desert gradually stopped howling.
"Something unusual, everyone is on guard," Wharton reminded loudly.
"Uncle Wharton, there is no road ahead." Not long after Wharton issued the warning, the road on Mercenary Avenue disappeared.
There is a mountain of chaos in the Gobi with no sense of direction at all. At a glance, I couldn't see the top of the mountain.
"How come there are mountains? I remember that the Taco Gobi is a plain, and there are no mountains here," the caravan boss stopped the camel team.
"Su Luo, go up and take a look," Wharton ordered a young mercenary with agility in the mercenary team and ordered him to climb the Gobi Mountain to take a look.
The young mercenary went up the mountain. Everyone didn't notice. Not long after the young mercenary left, there was a gap in the sky, and it quickly disappeared, like the mouth of a clam that suddenly opened, and then closed.
Time is like an hourglass of quicksand, never going back, the young mercenary didn't come back.
Uncle Wharton became uneasy, "Go up together." The caravan and the remaining four mercenaries went up the Gobi Mountain.
The mountain is getting steeper and steeper, and the sultry feeling gradually disappears.
The barren desert gradually turns green.
at the end of the desolation, it is a paradise outside ~ IndoMTL.com~ Birds of paradise dragging colorful feathers hover in the sky, the peony and peony blooming everywhere, the white jade fountain spraying fine wine and syrup, and the golden stairs , Ivory carved veranda pillars.
In the direction of the setting sun, amidst the radiant rays of light, a palace of the sun appeared in front of it as if it was covered with sunlight.
"It is the temple of the sun, the temple of the legend," the merchants in the caravan jumped off the camel horses, and the mercenaries could not help but rush towards the direction of the palace.
Zac was also shocked by the scene before him. The Temple of the Sun is a palace that is said to have countless treasures and countless wealth. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, when death and desolation had not swept the continent, there was a powerful kingdom in the desert.
But overnight, the kingdom suddenly disappeared. The legendary temple was also in ruins.
Such a legend, almost every child in a small town in Sabah has heard of it from their parents.
Listening to the cheers of the friends in front of him, Zach's heart moved slightly. If he had all this, maybe he could be shoulder to shoulder with her.
Zach took a step forward, and suddenly, he noticed a slight tremor in his back.
is the big sword left by his father, Zach's heart moved.
He took off the big sword from his shoulder and untied the white cloth on it.
The sword body covered with rust stains changed. That layer of rust like a thick lacquer came alive, like a heart wrapped in countless capillaries, and the sword body made a heavy breathing sound.
Waves of sword chants, like magic songs, came from the sword.
When he heard the chant, Zach felt a rumbling in his head, like lightning and thunder, and he suddenly became sober.
When he raised his head to look at the temple ahead, Zach only felt the blood rushing into his head.
