After that, Camille continued to do missions that were beyond his level every day. He completed all of them and his mercenary rank quickly rose to A rank. News of what had happened in the marketplace had spread, and Kameyu's level 7 was also known. Therefore, there were almost no more people who invited him to join the mercenary group, and he had a lot less trouble.
Although the mercenary level rose quickly and the missions he completed were difficult, his current reward was only a few tens of thousands of gold coins, which was much less than 10 million. He felt that if he relied on the income of mercenaries to collect materials, it would take more than a few lifetimes. Therefore, he had been thinking about what he could do to earn money quickly.
One day, he came to Jessica." Is there anything that can make more money?”
"Don't you have an amethyst card? Do you lack money?"
"I can't rely on that card for everything. You know that the path of cultivation we're going to take in the future is a bottomless pit.”
"You're right, but I can't think of anything useful for you. By the way, what do you want to do?"
"You also know that we have a mission, right? My current mission is to fight a Level-7 expert. I still have to do it twice, but I haven't had the chance recently. If I don't complete it, there won't be any new missions.”
"Alright, I'll help you keep an eye out, but I won't help you take on a mission to help others do bad things.”
"I wouldn't do that kind of mission even if you accepted it. By the way, why didn't I see that little girl Niah today? He usually sticks to you."
"She was provoked by you and is now working hard to break through to Level-7 as soon as possible.”
"Oh, that's interesting. When Niah reaches Level 7 in the future, why don't the three of us form a team? Maybe there would be some gains from exploring those ruins?”
"This idea is not bad, but isn't three people too little? Moreover, there's a big pervert like you around. I'm a little worried, who knows if you'll turn into a real wolf.”
"I'm wronged, even more so than Dou E. Am I still a virgin in this world?”
"Does that mean that it wasn't in the other world?”
"Ahem, I haven't done much? You know, men? I like this."
"That's true. You guys, wait. No, that's not right. Bastards, why are you telling me these dirty things?”
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question.”
"What is it? If it was those dirty questions, then don't say them out loud.”
"Are you a lily?" After saying that, Camille knew that something was wrong. Without waiting for Jessica to answer, he ran away. At this moment, Jessica had just summoned her precious artifact.
"This bastard, he escaped quite quickly. Hmph!" Jessica helplessly put away her precious artifact and left.
With Jessica's help, Camille didn't need to go to the auction anymore. He also bought some useful items from Jessica. Not long after, Jessica found him a mission. It was a commission from their auction house.
Mercenary rank reflected a mercenary's strength and reputation, so there were often clients who directly contacted high-ranking mercenaries in order to save on the commission fees collected by the Mercenary Association. After all, if they didn't go through the Mercenary Association, no one would be responsible for the mission. Therefore, the role of mercenary rank was reflected at this time. Usually, high-level mercenaries cherished their honor, so if the mission failed, they would be responsible for compensation.
Camille was in such a situation this time. Originally, the auction house had its own Level-7 expert, but that Level-7 expert happened to be away on a mission. This incident was an emergency, and the cause was a magic crystal.
It was inevitable for people to encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation. Some people were even stuck at bottlenecks for their entire lives and could not break through. At this time, some people relied on medicine to assist, some people forced themselves through battle, some people gained insight through experience, and some people relied on absorbing pure mana from mana crystals to break through. Ordinary mana crystals couldn't be directly absorbed, but they would occasionally produce some pure mana crystals. These pure mana crystals could be directly absorbed and help to break through bottlenecks.
This time, the news of the auction house obtaining a Mana Crystal somehow leaked out. They were robbed by a Level-7 expert during their journey, and no one survived. It wasn't that this kind of thing had never happened before, but most people were afraid of the strength of the Red Moon Auction House, so it rarely happened. Occasionally, there would be such people. According to Jessica, this person had been stuck at the bottleneck of the middle stage for almost 20 years, so he took the risk this time. Although he killed everyone, he didn't know that the transport personnel had left a special mark on him. Looking at the time now, it was very likely that that person had already broken through to the late-stage. Jessica couldn't deal with him alone, but if the mark on the person disappeared, it would be difficult to find him again. Therefore, she came to ask Camille to accompany her, treating it as a mission for Camille. "Then, Jessica, let's discuss something. I'll do it alone later.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Usually, a mid-stage expert can deal with two early-stage experts, and a late-stage expert can deal with two mid-stage experts. That means that person can deal with at least four early-stage experts. "However, it will be very difficult for you to win this time. You might even lose. At that time, our mission will be considered a failure.”
"If I can't win, I'll tell you in advance, but let me do it first.”This time, Camille decided not to use the Ice Barrier to test his strength.
"Alright, if I see any signs of you losing, I'll join the attack. You don't have to call me.”Jessica could feel Camille's seriousness, so she compromised.
"Thank you. As repayment, I'll go on a date with you when we get back.”
"I think it's necessary to kill you before you kill that person.”
"Cough, I was just joking. Don't be so serious. You won't be able to get married.”
"Go to hell."
"Hey, wait, I was wrong. Don't play.”Just like that, the two of them came to the target's hiding place.
"This is the place. There seems to be a magic array set up to repel people, but it's useless against us.”Jessica used a special perception spell and sensed that the suspect was right in front of her.
"Then what are you waiting for? Stand further away. I'm going to start.”
Camille didn't take out his relic. Instead, he used a Level-7 spell.
"How did you silently cast such a powerful Level-7 spell?”Jessica couldn't help but ask.
"If you want to know, let's go back and have a date. I'll tell you when the time comes.”
"Then there's no need."
At this moment," Who dares to behave atrociously here?”A burly man carrying a huge sword walked out from the middle of the city, his entire body exuding a fierce aura.
"Is this the person?"
"Yes, the mark is on him. It seems that his aura has already broken through.”
"Don't worry, leave it to me." As he spoke, he had already summoned his precious artifact. The crystal clear sword body was always able to attract people's attention.
"Hehe, I just happened to have broken through, so I'll test my sword on you.”As he spoke, he had already launched an attack.
He quickly rushed towards Camille, but Camille wouldn't let him in so easily. He raised the sword horizontally and stabbed it out rapidly. The phoenix feather extended its ice sword and stabbed at the burly man. The burly man's reaction was also dissatisfied. He used his wide gym to block the attack. However, Camille's attacks did not stop. He kept stabbing at the same spot. This was something he remembered after the last battle. Phoenix Feather's characteristic was somewhat similar to City Maru Silver's Divine Spear, the Slaying Knife. Therefore, he used his free time during the mission to practice this attack method.
The accumulated power of three stabs in an instant sent the burly man flying, but Camille wasn't satisfied with this result. He quickly rushed over, intending to engage in close combat. The burly man also adjusted his body and swung his sword at Kameyu. The two swords clashed, but Kameyu, who was originally weak, did not waver. Although this surprised the burly man, he still continued to swing his sword and attack. The two of them attacked each other like this. From time to time, there would be the sound of two swords hitting stones. The surrounding ground was destroyed by the sword qi that was stirred up by the two people's swords.
The burly man finally realized that something was wrong. He jumped out of the battle circle and assumed a defensive posture, but he did not attack immediately.
"Why? Your strength is obviously weaker than mine, but you can fight with me with your sword?”
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. You'll die very soon. Every time I fight you, I'll take away a lot of your power. You used strength, while I used technique. Naturally, I won't lose to you.”
"Shameless boasting. I'll let you see my ultimate move.”As he spoke, he swung his sword, which was filled with powerful magic power, and slashed down. At the same time, a huge sword aura appeared out of thin air and pressed down on Camille.
"Just in time. I want to test the power of this sword. The second form of the Ice Frost Sword, Snow Shattering Mountains and Rivers.”
Camille's sword also slashed down. It was also a huge sword qi, mixed with small snowflakes. This was Camille's move that was relatively strong in single-target attacks, or rather, it was the strongest move in a single line.
The two sword Qi met in the middle and tore each other apart. The two of them continued to pour in their power, and in the end, the two forces resisted at the same time. At this moment, a huge pit appeared between the two of them. There was a wide crack extending towards the two of them on both sides.
"Frost Sword's third move, Snow Dragon Kill.”A giant dragon made of ice and snow roared as it charged at the burly man.
"Impossible, how can you still have this kind of power?”After the exchange of blows just now, the strength in his body had already been depleted. He did not expect Camille to immediately launch an even more powerful attack. However, what awaited him was not Camille's answer, but the snow dragon's ferocious mouth.
"Yes, it's done." Camille heaved a sigh of relief. He had almost used up half of his mana.
"You, are you alright?" Jessica came back to her senses and looked at Camille.
"It's fine. Although it's not easy, it's not too difficult either.”
Jessica looked at Camiyou in a daze. When Camiyou felt a little embarrassed, she said something that made him vomit blood.
"You're not human, you're a monster.”After saying that, he left without looking back.
"I'm a monster, but I'm still a human.”
