Although I didn't know what kind of mercenary group the Bravehearts were, I could tell from the silence of the surrounding mercenaries that they weren't good people. I wasn't interested in such a mercenary group, so I didn't even want to reject them. The mercenaries around me were also curious as they watched Edgar put on a show by himself.
The young man saw that I was still silent and thought that I was still considering it. He continued,"Do you still need to consider? There aren't many mercenary groups in the entire continent that can compare to the treatment our mercenary group receives. Moreover, if you can make a great contribution to the regiment, I can even help you get a title as a reward. After all, I am a viscount of the Nikolay Empire!”
I really couldn't stand his self-righteous look, so I said coldly,"There's indeed no need to consider it. I refuse!”
Edgar's smug smile froze, and his face turned ugly. The swordsmen behind him could not help but rush forward, but Edgar stopped them. He looked at me hatefully and said,"No one has ever rejected me like you. Please take care of yourself.”He turned around and left with his subordinates.
After what he did, the mercenaries around him gave up on inviting me to join their group."He doesn't even want to join the third-ranked mercenary group. What can I use to attract him?”I looked at the beautiful girl and asked,"Can I accept the large-scale quest to protect the city now?”
"Of course. This is a large-scale mission. A single mercenary can also take it.”the girl replied quickly. "Do you want me to help you apply?"
" Mm." I nodded."We just need to apply for this mission.”
After applying for the mission, I left the Mercenary Guild under the strange gazes of the mercenaries. I know that although there are many mercenaries who act alone on the continent, they usually join a mercenary group first to earn more mercenary points as soon as possible to quickly increase their mercenary level. A D-rank mercenary like me wasn't considered high at all. There were many B-rank mercenaries on the continent. If I went solo now, it meant that I had to put in more effort and spend more time to raise my mercenary rank. This was a very stupid decision.
I naturally wouldn't care about the so-called mercenary rank. In the future, even if I wanted to accept missions, I would only accept the most difficult S rank missions or unlimited missions. These missions didn't have any mercenary rank restrictions. Now I was walking towards the bar. After a whole day, it was almost dark. I still had to go there and wait for Roger. And although I'm not an alcoholic, I have true qi in my body. It's not easy to get drunk! Although the wine here wasn't as colorful as the wine made by the bartender on Earth, it had a fresh and natural taste compared to the wine on Earth. It was still very attractive to me.
I leisurely sipped on my wine and enjoyed the dance of the dancers. After all, this was a world of swords and magic. Even the dancers knew some martial arts, and the dance they performed was especially wild. It perfectly reflected the combination of strength and softness. Just looking at it was enough to make one's blood boil. When he first came, he was busy thinking about things, so he didn't look carefully. Now that he was enjoying it, he immediately discovered the charm that was different from Earth.
After sitting for an hour, I saw Roger's figure. Clearly, he had a great reputation here. From time to time, customers in the bar would stand up and greet him. After looking around and finding my location, he immediately walked over to me and respectfully said,"Master, it's done. It only cost 30,000 gold coins, and you can move in now.”
I didn't expect to be able to find a house so quickly and move in directly. I was very impressed with his ability to do things."Well done. You can keep the money. Have a few drinks first.”
This was a very large manor. Just by looking at the decorations inside, one could tell that its former owner was either rich or noble. I roughly walked around and said in satisfaction,"Not bad. We'll stay here for the time being. If you have any relatives, move over too! The garden is so big, you can find whoever you need. I will stay in this city for another two days, and I will leave after I finish this magical beast attack.”
"Thank you, Master, but I don't have any relatives. I used to live directly in the Swordsmen's Guild.”Roger said gratefully. Right now, it was equivalent to me directly giving 200,000 gold coins to him. Although he knew that I didn't care about how much money I had, just being able to give such a huge sum of money was enough for him to follow me for the rest of his life.
The night was silent. Early the next morning, I called him to the arena in the manor and said,"What did you experience from yesterday's battle?”
Roger closed his eyes and sank into deep thought. After a while, he said,""That was a magical sword skill that I had never seen before. I always thought that if I wanted to increase my strength, I had to constantly train my fighting spirit and work hard to increase the power of my ultimate skill. But now, I feel that technique is just as important. Even if we are on the same level of battle energy, I am definitely not Master's match. Moreover, I didn't even have the chance to use my ultimate move in the entire competition.”
I nodded and said with satisfaction,"You're right. I've never interacted with the people of the continent before, so I don't really understand the martial arts of the continent. However, in my opinion, even if I have the same level of Dou Qi as you, or even a level lower than you, I can still easily defeat you." Although you have rich battle experience, your sword skills are full of mistakes in my opinion. As the saying goes,'great clumsy is skillful.' Since you've already become a Heavy Swordsman, then you have to emphasize the word 'heavy'. Because of a promise I made, I can't teach you my martial arts and battle energy, but I can teach you footwork.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I followed the sound. I saw a figure floating in the air. Instantly, it was as if the entire arena could see my figure flashing. What I was displaying was a footwork that was compatible with the Footloose Art. One must know that the entire set of footwork was passed down from ancient times. It was formed from the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes. The entire set of footwork had a total of 108 steps. If I were to use it, even Country R's Shen Ren would have a hard time catching me. The complexity of the entire set of footwork is beyond imagination. Last night, I spent half a night thinking hard before I finally simplified it to eighteen steps. Although its power is only ten to twenty percent of the original, it will be of great help to his sword skills if used well.
Roger felt that his eyes weren't enough to see through me. Even after I walked three times, he could only see four or five steps. Even so, he was already extremely excited. It was hard to imagine that such a simple few steps would have such power.
Of course, I didn't expect him to understand. I pointed to the ground and said,"Look carefully at the positions of these eighteen footprints. When you can practice this set of footwork freely, your sword skills will be greatly improved.”
Roger followed the direction of my finger and was shocked to see 18 obvious footprints on the ground. They looked like they were carved by a knife. He could no longer suppress his excitement and said,"Thank you, Master, for teaching me the footwork. I will definitely not let you down.”
I smiled." There's no need for that. Once you've memorized the footwork, remove all these footprints." Don't call me master anymore. This title doesn't sound good. Just call me young master in the future!”
"Yes, Young…Young Master." Roger said excitedly.
For the next two days, I learned about the continent from Roger at night and wandered around the streets during the day. Originally, I had planned to go to the blacksmith shop to forge a suitable longsword, but after looking at the huge swords in the shops in the small city, I realized that they were really difficult to obtain. In fact, they were even inferior to the wooden swords I had casually forged myself, so I gave up. Actually, even if I had this wooden sword, I wouldn't have any trouble dealing with a low-grade holy beast. However, I still feel that this wooden sword is too eye-catching. Roger wanted to let me use his greatsword, but I criticized his sword for being useless, so he didn't insist.
After talking to Roger, I finally knew my current position among the human experts. Right now, there were very few Sword God level experts on the entire continent. There was only one in each of the five empires. However, as long as one reached the Sword God level, they would be equivalent to Xiantian experts. Longevity was a very simple matter, so there should be some unknown Sword God level experts. There were only a handful of Saint level experts. Moreover, due to the restrictions of the Holy Church, all the countries agreed that as long as they reached the Divine level, they could no longer participate in the disputes between the countries. As a result, the competition between Saint level experts became more and more intense. Therefore, it was not strange that there were very few Saint level experts.
He did not expect that he was already an expert who had surpassed the limits of the human race. It seemed that the martial arts here were really not that good! I sat in the bar and sipped on some fine wine with a faint natural scent while thinking to myself, It seems that if I want to find an opponent, I can only look for one among the Gods or Demons. I've always despised Emperor Ardas for defeating the demons but worshiping the gods. In my opinion, there's no difference between the gods and the demons. Their ambitions for this human continent are the same. The only difference is that the gods cleverly borrowed the strength of the humans, while the demons clearly stood opposite the humans. Just by looking at how the God Clan started to deal with the Dragon Clan after chasing away the Demon Clan, the Orcs and Elves could see that their goal was to rule this continent. As long as the various races on the continent could not work together, then the Human Clan would not be able to resist them effectively. Now, the Holy See's position on the continent was almost unshakable. Just by looking at the fact that all countries had to pay tribute to the Holy See every year, it was obvious that the Protoss had been plundering resources.
"Young man, we meet again.”Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a familiar voice sounded in my ear.
