Chapter 182 Puppet
The lobby of this mercenary association is extremely spacious, and there is a long long queue in front of the assessment area. However, there are not many young people who have joined the mercenary ranks. Most of them are old mercenaries who feel that their strength is in progress and plan to increase their mercenary level a little further.
The old mercenaries had a bronze badge on their chests, and the pocket swords crossed on the badges, representing the symbol of the mercenary association.
Of course, there are also some mercenaries who will wear marks unique to the mercenary group in addition to badges, which are all mercenaries who have joined the team.
Bai Yang glanced at it and found that the people on the scene were all bronze-level mercenaries. The strongest strength was only in the second stage of Gangqi. However, after reaching the Gangqi realm, they were qualified to participate in the assessment of Black Iron-level mercenaries. The treatment of bronze-level mercenaries and black iron-level mercenaries was very different, so those mercenaries with the strength of Black Iron Line would be eager to participate in the Black Iron-level mercenaries and increase their star rating a little.
Because most people who become mercenaries are poor families and need to work hard to make money to support their families. The threshold for large sects and large families is too high, and the treatment of small families is not very ideal. Only by becoming mercenaries can you get the corresponding rewards for your own efforts.
The long row in front quickly turned into a few people. When Bai Yang handed the iron piece in his hand to the somewhat lazy middle-aged man, the other party looked at the iron piece without raising his head and sneered: "Why are there so many newcomers today? Tell me, the strength level, is there any mercenary group?"
After taking the iron piece, the middle-aged man entered his white combat energy into it and was preparing to record it.
Bai Yang whispered: "The Ninth Stage of Gangqi, there is no mercenary group."
"Gangqi Jiudan, um... um?" The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Yang with some surprise. However, because he was covered with a cloak, the middle-aged man only judged from his voice that the person in front of him was not old, so he said half-believingly: "Are you sure you are Gangqi Jiudan? You will be kicked out by lying about your strength."
"Boy, this is not a place to play houses. Don't waste our time without ability!" A mercenary wearing a bronze badge said impatiently.
The mercenaries who were standing behind waiting to assess the black iron badges also started to yell. These mercenaries were always full of filthy words and all kinds of ugly words were sprayed out. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted by the entire hall.
"Will Gangqi Jiuduan register a mercenary? Isn't this kid crazy? I dare to brag in the Mercenary Association and see how he ends up then."
The master laughed a few times at the dirty words around him and teased: "I didn't expect that one day I would be despised by others when I told the truth? It's interesting, it's really interesting."
"Shut up." Bai Yang frowned, responded to the master's voice, and a helpless voice came from under the cloak: "You are just the person responsible for recording, just record it truthfully. Besides, the real assessment should not be based on these people testing me with their mouths, right?"
With one sentence, all the mercenaries in the hall were annoyed. The old mercenary with a bad temper even rolled up his sleeves and planned to come up to teach him a lesson. But at this moment, a thick voice sounded in the hall, shocking all the mercenaries who were about to move.
"Shut up to me! One or two of them are terrified to death, are they all itchy?"
Apart from the crowd, a man wearing armor and dark-faced walked in, swept over the many mercenaries in the hall, and said viciously: "If you have time to spend time here to bully newcomers, he doesn't have time to go out to do some tasks and save more points? Even if you fight with the gang of kids from the Storm Mercenary Group, it's better than whining like a woman!"
"It's the black tiger..."
"It's this lunatic again..."
Many mercenaries who knew this man were tactfully retreating, but even if they didn't know him, they were afraid of being blocked after being reminded by friends. The reputation of the man-eating black tiger is not weaker than the Storm Mercenary Group in this town of Chima, and there is also a vague increase in the group of slitting bandits who only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Because this man named Black Tiger is the only silver-level mercenary in Cema Town and is also the leader of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group. However, because he failed to take on a secondary mission, the elite members in the group were lost, causing the famous Black Tiger Mercenary Group to completely become a third-rate team. Otherwise, there would be no place in Cema Town where the Storm Mercenary Group showed off its power.
It is obvious that Heihu has a high reputation among the mercenaries. As soon as he spoke, the sarcasm in the hall gradually weakened.
Wearing that heavy armor, he walked like a moving fortress. Every step he took to the ground would tremble the floor. This guy, like a human-shaped giant beast, walked to Bai Yang, glanced at the middle-aged man who registered for him, and grinned and said, "When will you be qualified to sarcastically mercenary who came to register? Since he said it was the Gangqi Ninth Stage, then record it carefully and don't do extra things!"
The middle-aged man nodded quickly, input the war energy into the iron piece in his hand, recorded the information in sweating profusely, and then asked with some trembling trembling: "My friend, what is your name?"
Bai Yang heard this, thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Bai Qianqiu."
"Bai Qianqiu? A good name, haha, I can hear it even as a rude man. There are extraordinary ambitions in this name."
Heihu patted Bai Yang's shoulder very enthusiastically, then took the iron piece from the middle-aged man and said, "Although this mercenary association is not large, the procedures are still very formal. Let's go, brother Qianqiu, I'll take you to the assessment."
Bai Yang did not refuse the enthusiasm of this strange man. After nodding, he walked with him to the assessment area.
When the two left the assessment registration area, the mercenaries who were intimidated by the aura of the black tiger dared to discuss it.
"I don't know what kind of wind this guy Black Tiger has sucked today. A boy who is obviously bragging about himself is worth trying to win over?"
"It is probably because of the destruction of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group that he still can't let it go. When he meets some mercenaries with some strength, he wants to recruit people to join the group. Unfortunately, this Cema Town is still too small and has good strength. Everyone has joined the Storm Mercenary Group. Who would stay in the Black Tiger Mercenary Group and starve with him?"
"Hmph, I want to see, that kid will be eliminated soon. The assessment of Gangqi Ninth Stage is the most difficult among the black iron-level mercenaries. Maybe he will use the black iron golem to test him."
When talking about the black iron golem, everyone's faces were more or less unnatural. Several mercenaries who had seen the power of that thing looked a little darker, and seemed to not want to mention that memory again.
In short, this storm was only lively among the mercenaries for a while, and was soon forgotten by them.
Bai Yang, who followed Heihu to the assessment area, saw an extremely spacious training room with various cultivation equipment in it. Many members of the mercenary association were observing the strength of each examiner around, and an old man determined whether he passed the assessment.
The old man was wearing a gold badge, and he should be the president of this mercenary association.
Heihu glanced at the old man, with a look of disgust on his face, patted Bai Yang on the shoulder, and whispered: "This guy is called Guo Jingfeng. He used to be the runner-up of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group. He worked hard in the group for decades. He was not very strong, but he was old enough. He was sent to this remote place to be a small president with the tenth level of Dingyuan Realm. He was considered a reward from the leader of the Dragon Slaying Group. Unfortunately, this person is greedy by nature and does not know what temperance is. He made the mercenary association here scattered, and he also joined the storm mercenary group. He collected a lot of sacrifices every year and turned a blind eye to the behavior of those evil people. The entire horse-slaying town was also caused by him."
He sighed deeply, and Heihu smiled apologetically, "Hey, it's useless to tell you this. Come on, Brother Qianqiu, you are in the Ninth Stage of Gangqi. Logically speaking, you have to fight against a puppet of similar strength. I'll talk to them, just release a puppet of essence iron puppet."
Bai Yang has only heard of things like puppets. He heard that they were a stunning weapon refiner in the Artifact Refiner Association. Driven by runes and extremely exquisite mechanisms, they can make the puppets exert great combat power. Gradually, things like puppets were referenced by many forces, including in the Xuanjian Sect, there was a mountain-stopping puppet. The rumors were made by the mysterious weapon refiner himself. Their strength was comparable to those of the Tianyuan Realm, and they would never be tired.
Bai Yang always wanted to see such a magical thing, but he never had a chance. He didn't expect to see it in a place like the Mercenary Association, so he nodded to Heihu and said politely: "I'm working."
Heihu smiled generously and walked towards Guo Jingfeng's group of people.
Bai Yang turned around himself and looked around. He found that the Mercenary Association had a very good fortune. The walls of the practice room were actually engraved with extremely ancient defensive runes, as well as several devastating attack runes that could instantly injure the powerful Dingyuan realm. If the Mercenary Association was hit by foreign enemies, these complex patterns that were almost integrated with the wall would probably instantly turn into death-induced Shura, and exuded extremely terrifying power.
After a while of a look, Bai Yang did not continue to wander around, but quietly adjusted the breath in his body, ensuring that his body was at its peak at any time.
At this moment, a noisy sound came from not far away, causing Bai Yang to slowly open his eyes and look at him, but Heihu was quarreling with Guo Jingfeng and others in a red face.
"It's just an assessment of the ninth stage of Gangqi. Why do you need to dispatch a secret technique puppet? The highest specification of the black iron level is just a black iron puppet. Guo Jingfeng, what do you mean?!"
