A rough man let out a deep sigh, and on his serious face, there were a few more strokes of helplessness. "The Sparkling Plains are the place where the Kalan Empire has the most abundant mineral resources. After many years of excavation, new veins are still being discovered one after another. And this most precious place is in the hands of the Mercenary Guild."
Yun Feng sat there, looking at the rough man, "So all mercenary groups registered with the Mercenary Guild will get some benefits."
The man smiled wryly and shook his head, "Little girl, there are at least hundreds of mercenary groups registered in the Mercenary Guild. Even if the Sparkling Plains were two or three times larger, it wouldn't be enough to divide among them. Moreover, mineral veins aren't everywhere. If all the mercenary groups swarmed in, wouldn't that be chaotic?"
Yun Feng nodded, also hearing the hidden words within, "So, coming to this Flashing Plains requires a certain qualification?"
"Yes, the Mercenary Guild conducts a mercenary team level assessment every three years. Only teams with a rating of three stars or above are eligible to come to the Glittering Plains. On the Glittering Plains, each team has an equal opportunity, and once they discover a mineral vein, they can claim it as their own. However, there is a time limit for this, which is also three years. When the three-year period ends, only teams that successfully pass the mercenary level assessment can continue to own the mineral vein. Otherwise, not only will the mineral vein they discovered be taken away by others, but the team's own rating will also decrease, and they will no longer be eligible to come to the Glittering Plains."
Yun Feng understood the general idea by now. The mercenary group's level assessment was a checkpoint, and those who passed it could come to this sparkling plain. If they really dug up a mineral vein, the mercenary group would also gain a considerable fortune, whether selling it or keeping it for themselves, it was a significant help either way.
"It seems that you won't be passing this level evaluation. " Yun Feng said calmly, and the few people all looked embarrassed, being told by a little kid, it was indeed somewhat humiliating.
"Heh heh, don't be misled, our Red Maple Mercenary Corps was originally very strong too. However, fate didn't go as we wished. A mine vein we discovered was targeted by other mercenary groups, and after a fierce battle, several of the powerful individuals stationed here also left one after another."
The man finished speaking, and the rest of the young people all had painful faces. Yun Feng heard it and couldn't help but frown, "Whoever discovered it first shouldn't it belong to them? Is this mine also a case of whoever sees it gets a share?"
Xiao Ying smiled wryly, her exhausted body leaning back in the chair. "Whoever finds it first gets to keep it? This is a world of mercenaries, and there's no such rule among us. If you have the strength, you can take it by force! Whoever takes it gets to keep it! That last battle was intense, we gave it our all, although we made the enemy retreat in defeat, but we also suffered heavy casualties."
"For a mercenary group, the loss of elites is the most fatal. A huge loss of elites will greatly discount the overall strength of the entire mercenary group." The words of his ancestors echoed in Hong Feng's mind, it seemed that this Red Maple Mercenary Group had suffered heavy casualties among its elites in that brutal battle, and had not yet quickly recovered its strength, now facing a crisis of being disqualified from staying in the Flash Plain.
"The new ranking evaluation is about to begin, and with our current strength, it's impossible for us to join a team above three stars on our own power, unless..." The man said, glancing at Rouyu, and Yun Feng suddenly understood.
"Unless you're going to resort to some special means, like sending a monster to the person who evaluates the star rating?" Yun Feng picked up Rouyu's neck and slightly shook its plump body. The man smiled awkwardly after hearing this, while Xiao Ying couldn't help but shake her head in dismay.
"We have no other choice, wanting to catch a magical beast is not easy, let alone alive! Spending money to buy one would be astronomical, and the mine we currently occupy is still the lowest level, the amount of ore excavated is also limited, it's impossible to afford the magical beasts circulating in the market..."
For the people of this world, having a demon beast can bring eternal glory. All the high-ranking officials with prestige and status on the vast continent hope to have a demon beast as their pet or mount. Having a demon beast by one's side that can obey one's commands makes people feel like they are one step closer to that mysterious and noble profession. It is well-known that only powerful summoners can tame demon beasts!
Although the demons that humans have now are all tame breeds, there are also some ferocious breeds, but without exception, these demons cannot become their own combat partners. The demons owned by summoners are completely different. The mysterious technique makes the demons surrender and obey orders 100%. Such powerful abilities are coveted and boasted by the world!
"Maybe the examiner who graded us already has a monster too, who knows?" Yun Feng said, actually feeling a bit ridiculous about this idea, bribing the examiners, this was just a get-by attitude.
"No! I've gone through a thorough investigation, the examiner who evaluated us doesn't have a magical beast. If we can send him one, just for the sake of this magical beast, he won't make things too difficult for us!"
Xiao Ying said hastily, Yun Feng remained expressionless, only asking a sentence, "How is the evaluation level evaluated?"
The rough man glanced at Xiaoying with some blame, as if scolding her for not giving up yet. He smiled at Yunfeng and began to explain.
The rating level is divided into five levels, and each mercenary team is selected from the elite to form a team for competition. After the first Mercenary Rating Conference, teams with three stars or above have the qualification to be stationed in Sparkling Plains, and the next Mercenary Rating Conference will have new rules. Mercenary teams of different star levels can challenge higher-star teams, and if they succeed, they will be promoted one star, while the challenged team will be demoted by one star. If the challenge fails, neither side will be affected. The level of challenge can span multiple levels, as long as you have absolute strength, even challenging a five-star team is allowed.
Yun Feng nodded, "In that case, the probability of a challenge is mostly in one-star and two-star teams, while three-star teams and above have very few challenges."
Xiao Ying smiled softly and shook her head, "It's not like that. The area of the Flash Plain is very large, and different levels of ore veins also have a specific range. The areas where mercenary teams above level 3 are allowed to develop and search for ore veins are also different. And the ore veins dug up also have essential differences. Generally speaking, three-star teams can only dig up the lowest-level ore veins, while mid-to-high-level ore veins are occupied by four-star and five-star teams. As for the legendary special-grade ore vein, although it has not appeared yet, it will likely be within the area allocated to the five-star mercenary team."
Yun Feng suddenly realized that even in the Flash Plain, there was such a strict division. It seems that each star level of this challenge team will have its own advantages and disadvantages. After all, who doesn't want to develop towards higher levels? In this way, they can occupy more advantageous regions, excavate and possess higher-quality mines, and the wealth gained is immeasurable.
"We were originally going to challenge the four-star mercenary corps at this evaluation conference, but we didn't expect that after that fierce battle our elite forces would be completely exhausted and wouldn't have the strength to challenge again. Now we still face the danger of being challenged by two-star and one-star teams, if we can't win, we'll immediately be kicked out of the Glittering Plains."
The elite force of a mercenary group can be said to be the banner of the entire mercenary group, with strong elite forces able to recruit new people more quickly and expand the power of the mercenary group. However, losing elite forces not only results in huge losses for oneself but also makes it impossible to recruit new people. A mercenary team without fresh blood is doomed to never rise again.
"Our Red Maple Mercenary Corps is the most upright and fair mercenary group, although we are in the world of mercenaries, but we do not kill or rob, never intentionally suppress others. However, it did not occur to us that such a just team would suffer such a blow... It's all because our young generation is not living up to expectations..." Xiaoying said, her eyes already red, and she began to sob softly while sitting there, and the several young people beside her were also silent, their faces gloomy.
"Alright Xiaoying, let's not use those methods. Those shady practices are better left undone. Let's just have a fair and square competition, if we lose, then so be it. We can start again from scratch!" The rough man said loudly, his voice ringing in the hearts of these young people like a bell. Yunfeng heard this and couldn't help but feel a slight ripple in her heart. This kind of open and honest attitude was actually quite similar to that of the Yun family, who also valued making friends with such people!
"Uncle is right, why not have a good fight? Even if we lose, it's a fight with all our might, and there won't be any regrets!" Yun Feng stood up and shouted in agreement. The rough man burst out laughing, "Good, good! You've got a heroic spirit, Uncle likes you!"
Yun Feng smiled, and her small face bloomed with a very pretty smile. The meatball also turned around, big eyes looked at the man, seemingly reducing some hostility.
Xiao Ying looked at the man's hearty laughter, her eyes involuntarily reddening again. These days, the captain had not been easy, rarely seeing him laugh so heartily. "Since the captain has spoken, let's have a fair and square fight! We won't have any regrets in our hearts, what do you think?"
Xiao Ying stood up, and several young people around her also stood up, their faces excited. "That's right, Xiao Ying is right, we should have a fair fight!"
"We're not afraid of losing! If we lose, so be it, we'll just come back next time!"
Xiao Ying swept away the gloomy atmosphere of just now, walked to Yun Feng's front, and said apologetically, "Little girl, I'm sorry about earlier. I was forced to think of this trick, which goes against the style of our Hong Feng Mercenary Group. But don't worry, I won't have any more ideas like that again. You're right, instead of taking a detour like this, why not just have a fair and square fight!"
Yun Feng nodded, the meatball on his shoulder also retracted its slightly ferocious expression from earlier, feeling that the other party was no longer eyeing him covetously, and the meatball also calmed down, restoring its original adorable appearance.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a big tone you have! I can hear the boastful voice from far away, and I thought it was someone else. It turns out to be the Red Maple Mercenary Group!"
The tent flap was lifted, and several people swaggered in, their faces full of smug expressions. They didn't look like good people at all. When they saw Yun Feng here, they couldn't help but pause for a moment. However, when they saw the meatball on her shoulder, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Tsk, tsk! Beast? Are you saying that the Red Maple Mercenary Corps, which has always been known for its righteousness, is also going to do something despicable like you people?!" The speaker had a pair of triangular eyes and a smile that seemed to be begging to be punched. The rough-looking man's face turned red with anger at these words, but they were actually true - they had originally planned to use this method, but it was ultimately vetoed.
"Li Qun'ou, doesn't the mercenary team of evil wolves have enough lessons from last time?"
The man called Li Qunxiu's expression turned cold, his triangular eyes shooting out a sinister aura as he sneered, "What is the meaning of this, Captain Wang? Are you saying that even with these old, weak and sickly people, you still want to fight us again?"
"You..." Xiaoying's eyes widened in anger, her pretty face flushing red with rage, but she was restrained by a young man beside her, signaling her not to act rashly.
"Li Qun'ou, we let you roll once, and naturally we'll make you roll again. Don't be reckless on my turf!" The rough man bellowed, his fighting spirit bursting out as a 5th-level warrior. Li Qun'ou took half a step back, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.
"Wang Ming, don't pretend to toast and not drink, or you'll be punished with a penalty drink! Your so-called masters are all dead, what strength do you have left to fight us? This time's ranking evaluation, I'm watching you roll out of here! If you still want to mix in here, I don't mind showing you a clear way!"
Yun Feng chuckled and took a step forward, looking at Li Qunyao, "What bright road?"
Li Qun'ao burst out laughing, his triangular eyes fixed intently on the meatball on Yun Feng's shoulder. "Give me this little thing and I might consider lending you a few hands."
"You think you can! This demon beast belongs to this little girl, don't even think about snatching it from us!" Xiao Ying's anger was uncontrollable, she suddenly stood in front of Yun Feng, shielding her behind her back. Yun Feng was taken aback, and the rough-looking man also walked over.
"Li Qun'ou, put away your vile thoughts! This little girl is one of us. If you want to take action, you'll have to go through me first!"
A few young people also gathered around Yun Feng, and a warm current surged up in her heart. They could be said to have just met today as strangers, but they stood out like this, it was really hard for her not to feel moved.
A drop of water in need, a fountain in return; although this kindness may be insignificant to Yun Feng, the sincerity behind it has moved her to take action!
"Evil Wolf Mercenary Group?" Yun Feng asked, Li Qun'ou burst out laughing, his face filled with endless pride. "The Evil Wolf Mercenary Group has the backing of the Mu Rong family from Bai City! Your little Red Maple Team is nothing but a tiny ant that we can crush with just one finger!"
Yun Feng's mouth curled up coldly, the Mu Rong family... Heh heh, the Mu Rong family's backing mercenary group of evil wolves really did hit the mark.
Although the Murong family had received some warnings from Ma Sang, it was still far from enough for Yun Feng. Since this evil wolf mercenary group was the wing of the Murong family, striking them would also be a memorable lesson for the Murong family.
"Li Qun'ou, this name is good. Since you've come all the way here, of course, you can't leave empty-handed." Yun Feng's small body walked out from behind several people, slightly clenched his fist as if measuring his strength, and the meatball on his shoulder also bared a small sharp tooth, shining with a pale white light.
"What the hell are you thinking of doing!" Li Qun saw a faint smile at the corner of Yun Feng's mouth, and inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat. His own strength was at mid-fourth level, and logically speaking, he shouldn't feel afraid facing such a young kid, but now it had become so bizarre that he actually felt an urge to run away!
"What do you want to do? Of course, it's up to you." Yun Feng took a slight step forward, and around her small fist, a faint blue aura fluttered, water element and close combat perfectly combined once again!
"What am I asking myself? What am I asking myself!" Li Qun shouted loudly, his waist straightened, damn it, what is he afraid of! A small girl like her, what is he really afraid of!
Yun Feng burst out laughing, her small body flashing strangely like a ghost, disappearing from the original place. The few people in the Red Maple Mercenary Corps were all staring blankly, Xiao Ying's mouth was even more exaggeratedly wide open, and she couldn't believe it.
"Then, that little girl..."
Li Qun'ou's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and without thinking, perhaps due to instinct, he turned around to run away. However, Yun Feng had already appeared in front of him with an eerie aura, and a heavy fist came crashing down!
"Ah!" Li Qunhe let out a miserable cry, clutching his face and falling to the ground. The several people who had followed him immediately rushed over, all of them staring at Yun Feng in unison!
"Think you can move a little girl like that!" The rough man shouted loudly, joining the battle. Xiao Ying and other young people were not to be outdone, in an instant, the small tent was filled with a deafening noise, shocking heaven and earth. Several mercenary groups from nearby tents curiously poked their heads out, looking at the tent where a loud noise was coming from in confusion.
"You, you actually dared to lay hands on our Wolf Mercenary Group! You will regret this!" Li Qun'ou fell to the ground, covering one side of his swollen face, speaking with a pained expression. As he looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, Li Qun'ou spotted an opportunity and was about to sneak away quietly.
"Where do you want to run to now?" Yun Feng suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Qun Ou's eyes welled up with tears as he saw him, his body constantly retreating backwards, but was hit by a fist that came out of nowhere and reached his ribs, causing his body to convulse in pain.
"A beating, a beating, of course you can't leave empty-handed!" Yun Feng said in a low voice, his fist suddenly swung out again, with a faintly shining blue arc line rushing straight at Li Qun'ou's face.
"Bang bang bang!" Ten consecutive punches landed on Li Qunyao's chest and abdomen, the speed was so fast that Li Qunyao didn't even have a chance to defend himself. The battle qi he originally wanted to mobilize also slowed down strangely, its speed not even one percent of what it normally was!
The water element's varied uses can invade the body and affect the flow speed of the vital energy!
"Uhh... uhh..." Li Qun's body trembled and fell to the ground, feeling wave after wave of icy coldness invading his body, leaving him without even the strength to speak. His triangular eyes stared fixedly at Yun Feng, as if she were some kind of monster.
The rest of the people who followed Li Qunyao were clearly no match for the few members of the Red Maple Mercenary Group. Perhaps Li Qunyao had only come to humiliate and mock them, never expecting things to escalate into a fierce battle, let alone being beaten so miserably that he couldn't even speak.
Yun Feng looked at the several people who were lying on the ground, writhing in pain and groaning, with a cold glint in his eyes. The few members of Hong Feng's mercenary group were clearly intimidated by Yun Feng's skill, and for a moment they couldn't find words to say.
"What rating is the Wolf Mercenary Corps?" Yun Feng asked, and Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment before answering, "The Wolf Mercenary Corps is four-star, but there are also three-star teams supported by the Wolf Mercenary Corps, and two-star teams as well."
Yun Feng listened, the coldness in his smile grew even more pronounced, as he looked at Li Qunyao who was now lying on the ground, unable to speak. "Is that so? After this mercenary level evaluation, there won't be any Evil Wolf Mercenary Corps left in the four-star teams."
Yun Feng's small body stood among a crowd of people, not standing out at all. However, the aura bursting forth from her at this moment made everyone else unable to look away, no matter how hard they tried.
Li Qun'ou fell to the ground, covering his chest and abdomen, as wave after wave of cold air burst out from inside his body, causing his eyebrows to be covered in white frost, and all the hairs on his body stood on end, looking extremely disheveled.
Li Qun's eyes were narrowed, his trembling hands barely pointing at Yun Feng, his lips quivering as if wanting to say something, but not a sound came out.
Yun Feng's red lips curved slightly, her small face was a sneer, "What? Not leaving yet?"
Li Qun's face turned red, and he forced himself to open his mouth, facing the other companions who were groaning in pain on the ground, and let out a low roar, "We... are leaving!"
The people lying on the ground all got up in a sorry state, Li Qun'ou fell to the ground, his whole body cold like an ice block. Immediately two men came over and carried him away, lifting the flap of the tent and fleeing out quickly.
Inside the tent, there was still some chaos. The previous battle had just ended, but several people from the Red Maple Mercenary Corps were unable to regain their composure for a long time, staring at Yun Feng with shocked expressions.
"Little girl, you're so amazing!" Xiao Ying's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Yun Feng, circling around her a few times before nodding, "No wonder you can bring along a magical beast, truly a hero emerges in youth..."
Yun Feng smiled slightly, looking a bit embarrassed, "If it weren't for me, things might not have been so chaotic just now."
"Come on, little girl! The people of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group are notorious in the mercenary world. If it weren't for their strength level, many other mercenary groups would have beaten them up long ago! Haha, but that fight just now was really exhilarating!" Wang Ming, a burly man, laughed heartily, and it was clear that he had enjoyed the previous battle immensely.
"Now that we've torn our faces apart, there's nothing to be afraid of! In the recent battle with the Three-Star Mercenary Group, we suspected that the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group was behind it. That Three-Star Mercenary Group is actually backed by the Evil Wolf!" Xiao Ying said indignantly, and the other young people also cursed a few times, their faces filled with pain.
"This move is indeed ruthless, reducing the strength of your Red Maple Mercenary Corps, making you unable to challenge four-star teams in this rating meeting. If I'm not mistaken, a family backed by the Evil Wolf Mercenary Corps in the two-star mercenary team will issue a challenge to you!" Yun Feng analyzed carefully, Xiao Ying, Wang Ming and several others all had faces full of anger.
"Despicable! Shameless!" Xiao Ying growled, perhaps recalling the brutal battle a few days ago, when the elite of the Red Maple Mercenary Corps were almost completely wiped out, leaving an unhealable massive wound.
"No matter what our future fate will be, we must fight with all our might, did you hear that?!" Wang Ming shouted loudly, causing everyone to be slightly stirred up. Although their elite forces were gone and their strength had declined too much, they would never back down when faced with challenges!
Are you afraid? No, even if it means dropping a star level, even if it means leaving this brilliant plain and losing all the preferential treatment they have received, they are not afraid. At worst, they will start over from scratch!
"Alright! Let's go all out!" Everyone shouted in unison after Wang Ming's loud cry, a surge of hot blood boiling in each person's heart. Yun Feng nodded and smiled lightly.
"Everyone, I've already said some tough words, so let this little kid also do his part."
Xiao Ying immediately became excited and rushed over, grabbing Yun Feng's small hand tightly with both hands, "Little girl, what you said... is it really true?!"
Wang Ming's face also lit up with joy, but then dimmed a lot. After witnessing Yun Feng's skills, they naturally understood that Yun Feng was a talented young girl, and her strength must be immeasurable. Being able to beat Li Qunyao, who was in the mid-fourth level, to such a miserable state, how could she not be an expert?
Wang Ming naturally wanted Yun Feng to join them, and Yun Feng's joining would be a huge boost for Hong Feng! Especially at this critical evaluation period, Hong Feng's hopes might all be pinned on this little girl! However, Wang Ming also understood that Yun Feng was just a passerby, they couldn't force her to come in or compel her to do anything she didn't want to do.
"Little girl, don't force yourself to do things you're not willing to do. You don't owe us a favor." Wang Ming said with a sincere face, Xiao Ying although somewhat disagreed, but couldn't say anything, she just remained silent, her eyes full of expectation looking at Yun Feng.
Yun Feng smiled, raised his smiling face, and a confident smile appeared in an instant. "A promise from the Yun family is worth a thousand gold, what I said will naturally be done!"
"Yun Jia... are you... Yun Jia from Chun Feng Town?!" Wang Ming's face was filled with excitement, and he hastily walked up to Yun Feng, his eyes scanning Yun Feng up and down several times, with an indescribable emotional stirring.
"As expected, a member of the Yun family... I should have known that little girl was from the Yun family. People from the Yun family are always like this, haha, I should have known!"
Yun Feng looked at Wang Ming's puzzled expression and also sensed the surprised emotions of Xiao Ying and other young people, "You... know someone from the Yun family?"
Yun Jia has himself, his older brother and his father with a dark face. Could it be that this Wang Ming is an old acquaintance of his father's?
Wang Ming smiled and shook his head, revealing a thick smile. "We don't know anyone from the Yun family, but everything about the Yun family is indeed familiar to us, forever etched in our minds!"
"Could it be that there's some connection between our ancestors?" Yun Feng asked softly. Wang Ming looked at Yun Feng with an excited face, his voice trembling slightly, "This Red Maple Mercenary Group was founded by two people, one of whom is the powerful Summoner who appeared in the Cloud Family!"
Yun Feng was taken aback, Ancestor...
"The kind of character that Yun's family has is also continuing in the Hong Feng Mercenary Group, for hundreds of years now, and it has become the essence and pillar of the Hong Feng Mercenary Group!" Wang Ming said, his eyes seeming to be a little moist. Yun Feng thought about it, yes, the same uprightness, the same brightness and integrity, the same justice!
"Red Maple Mercenary Group..." The ancestor's slightly puzzled voice came, and Yun Feng couldn't help but ask somewhat awkwardly, "Ancestor, you wouldn't have forgotten, would you?"
"Hmm, haha, how could it be... I have some impression, some impression..."
Yun Feng's helpless shaking of his head, perhaps the old man's memory is a bit off, even forgetting the mercenary corps he founded himself?
Yun Feng didn't know that Yun Lan was a top-notch figure at the time, known for his ability to summon wind and rain. He had done many things, and this mercenary group might have been just something he built on a whim, not taking it seriously. The Red Maple Mercenary Group naturally didn't dare to get too close, instead focusing on developing their own strength. However, they didn't expect that their development would be so vigorous, and now they had reached the level of three stars. If it weren't for that one brutal battle where they suffered heavy losses, Red Maple would have been confident in challenging four-star this time.
"Little girl, what is your relationship with the master of the Yun family?"
Yun Feng looked at Wang Ming, "The master of the Yun family in this generation is indeed my father."
Wang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes shot out with excitement, "It's actually Miss! This time Captain will definitely be delighted!"
Yun Feng was somewhat bewildered, "Miss?" Why did he call her Miss?
"Xiao Ying, let's put this matter aside for now. We'll head back to Ge Yuan immediately. I need to bring Miss back, and the Captain will surely want to meet her in person!"
Xiao Ying nodded and immediately went out to prepare. Yun Feng stood there in a daze, while Rou Yuan looked puzzled, rubbing his body against Yun Feng's cheek.
"Wait, what miss......" Yun Feng looked at Wang Ming who was walking back and forth excitedly. Wang Ming heard this and burst out laughing, "The summoner of the Yun family is the founder of Hong Feng, his direct descendant is naturally also one of the owners of the Hong Feng Mercenary Group, calling you miss is absolutely right!"
"Captain, I'm ready!" Xiaoying exclaimed happily, her eyes gazing at Yunfeng with an added hint of closeness and familiarity, as if he were a family member.
"Alright! Miss, let's go!" Wang Ming laughed happily, with an indescribable joy. Yun Feng listened and was still a bit puzzled, but she also understood that the Yun family seemed to have gained a pretty good power.
Wang Ming seemed to be impatient, and on the same day, he took Yun Feng to Ge Yuan. With Wang Ming by his side, the journey through the Flashing Plain was also smooth, and in less than three hours, under Wang Ming's rapid pace, the two finally arrived at Ge Yuan at the fastest speed.
Kazamatsuri, the only first-class city in the southeastern part of the Karan Empire, is where the Mercenary Guild has set up its base. The city's architecture and the people coming and going all show distinctive characteristics of mercenaries.
The city, with a total area several times larger than that of Bibo City, has buildings mainly made of rough ore and angular shapes, giving off an air of coldness and solemnity. Amidst the crowds coming and going, one can always see the figures of mercenaries, which is quite similar to the outskirts of Chunfeng Town, except that the level of mercenaries here has been significantly upgraded, with many at level 5, and a considerable number at levels 6 and 7.
Wang Ming brought Yun Feng along the way, and when he met a few familiar faces among the mercenaries, they exchanged greetings. The people who greeted them were all curious about Yun Feng, and Wang Ming smiled and proudly said, "This is our family's young lady!"
Yun Feng couldn't help but shake his head in amusement, and those who heard this were also wide-eyed with surprise. When did the Hong Feng Mercenary Corps produce a young lady? The captain didn't seem to have a daughter!
No matter how surprised others were, Wang Ming continued to speak to himself, taking Yun Feng along the way and walking through many streets. After crossing half of the city of Ge Yuan, Yun Feng saw a line similar to a warning line from afar. On this side of the warning line, people were bustling about, while on the other side it was quiet and solemn, with only occasional mercenaries entering and exiting.
Two guards stood beside the warning line, a pair of sharp black eyes constantly scanning the passing crowd. Wang Ming walked forward, took out his mercenary badge, and was about to take Yun Feng inside when he was stopped.
"Halt, little girl! This is the Mercenary Guild's headquarters. Only mercenaries are qualified to enter!"
Wang Ming heard it and smiled heh-heh
