C140

"140. I'll take you to pick up girls."

"Since you're a businessman, I'm going to the prairie tomorrow. Do me a favor." Ji Feng directly stated his request.

Archimedes was about to speak, but the waiter delivered the roasted meat and wine that he had previously added. Archimedes did not speak.

As the waiter carried away the empty plate, Archimedes said, "My goods won't arrive until two days later. I'm unfamiliar with the others, so I can't let you join any other caravan."

"In that case, I'll be leaving." As Ji Feng spoke, he took out a purple gold coin and was about to pay the bill and leave.

Two gold coins were just enough to pay for Ji Feng's own account. Archimedes could see through this, so he immediately stood up to stop him, slyly saying, "I say, big brother, you can't throw me away. I don't even have a single copper coin on me!"

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"I have another method. There are many merchants here who are recruiting for temporary guardians. You can choose one of them to join. This way, you can earn some money and enter the prairie smoothly."

"This is my first time here, I wonder where I can find a place to recruit people."

"There is a Mercenary Union stronghold on the west side of the town. Those merchants that do not have any special guards would all go there to issue missions."

At Archimedes words, Monsoon sat down again, picked up a fork and forked a piece of barbecue, put it in his mouth, and poured himself another glass of wine.

After swallowing the roast meat in his mouth and drinking half a cup of wine, Ji Feng looked at Archimedes, who was eating while staring at him, and said, "Why are you looking at me? My sexual orientation is very normal. "

Archimedes hastened to explain: "I'm normal, too."

Seeing Ji Feng stick another piece of roast meat into his mouth without any intention of continuing to talk, he couldn't help but explain, "I feel like you are an interesting person."

Hearing Archimedes' words, monsoon felt very strange. Archimedes was already the third person to say that he was interesting. Could it be that the word 'interesting' in this world had another meaning?

At this moment, Archimedes spoke again. "I suggest you wait two days for my goods to arrive. Come with me."

"Why?"

"Because no matter how you look at it, you are just a low-level cultivator. There is no one who would hire you."

Of course, Ji Feng knew that if he didn't have a soul bead, he would just be an ordinary low-level cultivator. Soul orbs were something that only Deity-level cultivators could see through.

"I want to try. If it really doesn't work, I'll go with you. "No matter how you look at it, you don't seem like a merchant at all. Moreover, if you are a merchant, you should know other merchants."

"I am indeed not a businessman, I just came here to gain experience. The people who are really doing business are my family, I plan to go with them to the prairie to have a look." There's no point in walking with them. I'll go first. When I got here, I realized that I didn't bring any money with me. The few gold coins I have were all used to pay for my room. I haven't eaten anything for the better part of a day. " As if to prove his words, he forked two pieces of roasted meat into his mouth and chewed them.

Ji Feng then ate another two pieces of roasted meat and drank a cup of wine. He took out two purple coins and called out to the waiter, "Bill!"

The waiter looked at the table they were at and said, "Please wait a moment." With that, he went straight to the counter.

"Are you planning to go to the Mercenary Union?"

"Yes, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I need to hurry over."

"I'll go with you. If it's possible, we'll apply together. I'm a senior swordsman after all. If we go together, the success rate will be higher."

Ji Feng didn't reject his good intentions and said, "Aren't you afraid that your family won't be able to find you?"

Archimedes said disapprovingly, "It's all right. At most I'll leave a letter for them."

Ji Feng didn't speak. He and this young man with the same name as a scientist on Earth weren't familiar enough to interfere with each other's decisions. Not to mention the high-grade clothes worn by Archimedes, even the aura he exuded was not that of an ordinary person.

Then Archimedes spoke again. "Brother, I still don't know your name."

"Monsoon." Ji Feng mentioned his name on Earth. He did not use Bonan's name because this name was rather famous. If he said it, it would definitely cause the other party to ask him about it.

"Your name is strange."

This was the name of another world, so it was definitely strange here.

Since he was going with Ji Feng to the Mercenary Union branch office, Archimedes, who did not have a meal in the afternoon, did not care about his manners and started wolfing down his food.

After leaving the hotel, he saw that Ji Feng had no intention to speak, so he said: "Ji Feng, why are you going to the grassland?"

"I'm not going to the prairie, but I'm going through the prairie. I'm going to the territory of the elves." Ji Feng did not want to talk about this topic, so he asked, "Although you are an advanced swordsman, your power is not something to be reckoned with outside. How could your family be so confident about you coming out for training? It seems to me that you ran out here on your own? "

"You saw through it. Heh heh heh ?"

"Why are you going to the grassland?" That's the Beastman Kingdom. "

"The foxes and wingers of the beast race are both rich in beauties. I want to go over and have a look."

"It shouldn't be a problem for you to buy one or two fox or beast race female slaves with your family's wealth, right? Why do you insist on taking the risk?"

"What we spent money on were all tamed. So boring, didn't you want to go to the elf tribe? How about you take me with you? "

"I'm not going to pick up a girl. I have something to do." Ji Feng was speechless as he looked at this fellow who had planned to enter the hinterlands of other races to pick up girls.

The little town of Stallanford was actually built around a wide, limestone street. The western side of the town which Archimedes had spoken of was actually the most western side of this street.

When the two of them came out, the sky was already dark. However, the magic lights on both sides of the street prevented the people on the street from touching the dark. Although it was late at night, there were still many types of vehicles on the streets. After accumulating animal feces for an entire day, the air was filled with a pungent smell. Those who were more particular subconsciously covered their noses.

Archimedes was obviously not used to the smell. He frowned and said, "The managers here only know how to collect money. They don't even look for a few more cleaners."

"It should only be cleaned late at night." Previously, the festering pustules on his body had released a smell that was more than ten times worse than this one. He had come over, so naturally, he did not have any reaction to this smell.

Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Mercenary Union. Under the illumination of the magic lamp, the old building was clearly displayed before them. The original color could no longer be seen on the mottled walls. There were tiles on the roof from all kinds of years, and some of them were even brand-new. The two doors were like the walls, and the paint on them was almost all gone.

The door was open, and the noise could be heard from afar.

The space inside was quite large, at least three to four hundred square meters. There were also a lot of people inside, many of whom were discussing and quarrelling with each other. No one noticed the monsoon and Archimedes as they entered.

The contents of the notices were just as Archimedes had said. Almost all of them were the recruitment of guards by merchants, the newly formed mercenary teams could recruit people, or they could be used to replenish the mercenaries who had been wounded in battle. There were also advertisements for people to find and sell goods. Directly opposite the door was a long stone counter, and behind the counter sat a middle-aged woman in revealing clothes. Although the woman's face was covered with a thick layer of makeup, her figure could still be considered decent. Especially the two snow-white lumps in front of his chest, they looked as if they were about to be squeezed out at any moment. The woman was very unrestrained, flirting with mercenaries with other motives from time to time.

Not long after, Ji Feng heard this woman's name from the mercenaries. Her name is Pamela, and she works here. He was responsible for collecting the mercenaries' fees, giving out the tasks to the merchants, and also for signing the agreements between the two sides.

Ji Feng and Archimedes stared at the notice on the wall, looking for a suitable place to write it down and then asked together. In order to save time, the two of them split up.

Ji Feng looked at the left wall one by one. The first notice was for a high-ranked priest, so he ignored it. The second one was a high-ranked Mage of the Lightning element. The third one was a merchant who had asked his mercenary group to be his bodyguard ? He had read dozens of notices, but none were suitable for him. At this time, a fat middle-aged man holding a brand-new one walked past him and stuck it in the empty space to his left. Ji Feng's line of sight was subconsciously attracted. The Andura Caravan Caravan Caravan had recruited twenty warriors and mages to escort a cargo of goods to the Beastman Empire. The ranks of the mages and warriors were limited. According to the cultivation base, the reward would range from ten gold coins to ten purple coins. Below that was the caravan's encampment, as well as the name of the person who issued the notice. The name on it was Di Fu, and Ji Feng guessed that it was probably this fatty's name.

Ji Feng knew that even if he read all the announcements here, he might not find the right opportunity. Since he couldn't join any mercenary group, he naturally wouldn't reveal his strength to others. Moreover, the Instantaneous Fireball Technique was his trump card, so he couldn't easily show it to others.

The mission on the notice seemed to be tailor-made for him. Although he knew that the notice itself was problematic, it was still a rare opportunity for Ji Feng. If he missed it, he would have to find another way.

Thus, he said, "Hello, may I ask if you really do not need a cultivator's rank?"

Fatty turned around and looked at Ji Feng. He immediately said, "If you want to sign up, you will be paid 10 gold coins as compensation after the goods are delivered. You can only stay in the caravan along the way."

Even though Ji Feng wanted to agree, he knew that if he agreed too straightforwardly, it would definitely arouse the opponent's suspicions. Even though he, a low-level cultivator, was looking for trouble here, it was already suspicious.

Therefore, he asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Isn't it clearly written on the notice? They are here to escort the goods, because the goods are very ordinary and are not worth much money. Fatty's tone was somewhat impatient.

Ji Feng could not find anything wrong with the reason given by Fatty. Thus, after a slight hesitation, he said, "Alright, I'll go."

"Ok, do you want to come with me now, or ?"

Ji Feng interrupted, "I need to go back and make some arrangements. I'll go with you to the recognized location first. We'll go there tomorrow morning."

"Sure, come with me later."

"I wonder what your name is?"

"My name is Di Fu, I'm the manager of the Andura Caravan." His words confirmed Monsoon's guess.

"I have a friend here who is also looking for something to do. I'll ask him if he wants to go with us."

Di Fu nodded, then shifted his attention away from Ji Feng. He wanted to see if anyone else had registered on the scene.

The monsoon walked straight up to Archimedes, who was engrossed in reading the notice, and slapped him. "Have you found the right one?"

Archimedes looked back and saw that it was Ji Feng. He said, "If I am alone, there are a few suitable ones."

Of course, Ji Feng understood what he meant. Of course, he wouldn't become angry just because he was ignored. He said, "I saw a suitable one. Let's go take a look."

Monsoon explained the details to Archimedes, and of course there was a reason for it.

Archimedes listened and said, "The reason he gave is completely unreasonable. Even if his goods are worthless, he won't need a cultivator like you."

"I know something is wrong. We just want to use their identity to get there. Once we get there, if there's any danger, we can just slip away. Could it be that we are really going to earn those 10 gold coins? "

"That's true."

By the time Monsoon and Archimedes reached him, there were already nine people gathered around him.

"This is my friend," said Ji Feng to Di Fu. "He agreed to come with me."

Di Fu glanced at Archimedes and said, "How about three purple coins?"

"Sure, no problem." Archimedes' response was very straightforward.

Archimedes would not have been able to accept this level of pay if he had not given the highest and lowest price that DeFu had offered.

The nine people also took the opportunity to size up Ji Feng and Archimedes. When they saw Ji Feng's cultivation level, their eyes were filled with disdain.

Of course, Ji Feng didn't care about their gazes, but Archimedes was unwilling. He shouted angrily, "What are you looking at?"

Those attracted by this announcement were naturally not high-ranked cultivators. As a senior swordsman of the third step, Archimedes' cultivation was higher than any of them. Seeing the other party glare at them, everyone's gazes shifted away.

Obviously, Di Fu had no intention of introducing them to the others. He just looked around. Because they were standing here, all of the mercenaries couldn't help but turn their attention to them. When they clearly saw the contents of the notice, they immediately looked away. With their strength, they could not muster up any interest towards this level of remuneration. Even if there was someone who was interested and saw that they were all low-level cultivators, they would not be willing to be with them.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Di Fu didn't wait for anyone else to arrive. He said, "Those who are willing to go tonight, are worried that they won't be able to find the meeting place, come with me. The rest of the people will gather tomorrow morning at 6: 30.

Since Archimedes arrived half a day before the monsoon and was slightly more familiar with the town than the monsoon, he happened to know the rendezvous point on the notice. Thus, the two of them went straight back to the hotel after registering with Di Fu.

They didn't walk far from the gate before they split up into several groups. The monsoon and Archimedes were naturally together.

Watching the horse carriage that Di Fu was riding disappear from his sight, Archimedes said, "Ji Feng, have you noticed that the cultivation levels of the people he recruited are only slightly higher than yours?"

"I admit that my cultivation is low, but can't you just keep on talking?"

"I'll pay attention next time."

"I don't think that Di Fu is recruiting guards, so I've decided that as long as we enter the borders of the Beastman Empire, we'll find a chance to slip away."

"What if he can't escape?"

"That means the problem is very serious, so we have no choice but to take action."

"Attack! I like it! After coming out for so long, I haven't even fought a single battle. I'm almost suffocated!"

"If you want to fight, that's easy. Stick your right hand and arm straight out."

"What do you mean?" Even so, Archimedes did as the monsoon said.

Ji Feng suddenly took a big step forward and slapped the head of a middle-aged man who was walking in front of them. The middle-aged man turned around and saw Archimedes stretching out his right hand. Angry, he stepped forward with his left foot and punched Archimedes in the face.

By the time Archimedes sensed the monsoon's intention, the monsoon had already retreated behind him. He wanted to explain, but the other party didn't even give him a chance. He could only accept the challenge. The middle-aged man was a cultivator, and his cultivation wasn't low either. Archimedes was a swordsman. Although both of them had battle-qi, Archimedes, who had yet to wield his sword, was still at a disadvantage. It was only a matter of time before he lost.

Just then, Ji Feng said, "Archimedes, didn't you say you would beat him to the ground and make him beg for mercy? Why isn't it working anymore? "

When Archimedes heard the words of the monsoon inciting fire, he was furious. He had only displayed his interest in fighting, but the monsoon had given him such an opportunity. He wanted to explain himself, but the other party didn't even give him a chance to speak. Besides, even if he were to explain, the other party wouldn't believe him. That was because Ji Feng's cultivation level seemed to be too low, so no one believed that he was the one who did it.

One attack after another caused him to have no choice but to concentrate on dealing with them. He didn't expect the middle-aged man to be so much stronger than Ji Feng. How could Ji Feng retreat behind him before he could even turn his head around? Furthermore, he didn't even notice it himself.

Archimedes, who was slowly retreating, wanted to explain the situation to the middle-aged man, but his opponent's attacks only grew fiercer and fiercer. Exhausted, he could only take out his greatsword.

With the greatsword in his hand, Archimedes' momentum greatly changed. He gradually seized the initiative and aimed at the middle-aged man's weak point, knocking him down.

Then he said, "It's a misunderstanding."

"You want me to give it a slap?" Although the middle-aged man was knocked down, he didn't have any expression of cowardice as he angrily shouted.

Archimedes was speechless. He quickly understood that it would be useless to explain himself. He knocked out the middle-aged man with a single strike and glared at Ji Feng. Then, he turned around and started striding towards the hotel.

Looking at the monsoon, Archimedes asked in annoyance, "Why are you doing this?"

"Didn't you say you like fighting? I'll give you a chance! If that's the case, I apologize. " When Ji Feng spoke, his face was filled with innocence.

Seeing the look on Ji Feng's face, Archimedes was speechless. He did not expect his luck to be so heaven-defying, finding someone to eat for free and bringing him so many things. Besides, the man didn't feel guilty at all.

"I regret coming to you at dinner," he said.

"Didn't you say we were friends? If you say that you want to fight, I will immediately create an opportunity for you. If a friend is able to do this to me, what else can I say? "

Archimedes gritted his teeth and said, "You are a good friend of mine!"

"Friend, there's something wrong with your tone of voice, why do I feel like you don't want to be my friend? If that's really the case, I can pretend that I never knew you. As for the meal where you ate me, you don't need to return it. " As Ji Feng spoke, he quickened his pace and quickly overtook Archimedes. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Friend, please allow me to call you friend for the last time. Goodbye."

When the monsoon finished, he quickened his pace and quickly put some distance between him and Archimedes. He ran a few steps and said to the monsoon, "This is going to shake me off. There's no door."

"No way, you can even tell?"

"You're good enough, I was almost tricked by you. I warn you, from the time I ate that piece of barbecue and drank that glass of wine, you won't be able to abandon me. "

"Why do I sound like a resentful wife? I've once again expressed my doubts about your sexual orientation. I'm warning you, stay away from me next time." As Monsoon spoke, he glanced at Archimedes and took advantage of the situation to pull away from him.

"I advise you not to provoke me. If you provoke me, I don't mind changing my taste." Archimedes warned.

"I take back what I said." Ji Feng immediately followed suit.

Looking at the monsoon, Archimedes was speechless.

At this time, Ji Feng spoke, "In order to prove your sexual orientation, are you going to find yourself a woman?"

"I admit that I'm a bit too perverted, but I'm not a casual person and I don't like using force. Otherwise, why would I go to the Beastman Empire?"

"Alright, I believe you now."

Archimedes could not stand it any longer and immediately begged for mercy. "You are my big brother. Is that enough?"

"Actually, I don't think I'm as old as you."

Noticing that Archimedes wanted to say something, Ji Feng hastened his speech, "Since you are so sincere, I will be your big brother."

Archimedes did not want to continue the previous topic. He had a helpless look on his face as he said, "You are my big brother, you will always be."

"Big Brother will bring you to pick up girls." As Ji Feng spoke, he turned around and walked back.
