Chapter 786: Recognized!
"It sounds so interesting, I can't wait to see it. Lan Fengshu said excitedly.
"We're just passing through this nameless town, so it's better to get into as little trouble as possible. The Psionic Daoist reminded on the side, to avoid Lan Fengshu from doing anything out of the ordinary,
"I'm not a hairy boy anymore, and I can still tell the difference between what I say and what I do. Lan Fengshu argued.
"Alright, let's talk about something in Nameless Town first. The Master Zhijian interrupted the conversation between the two and led the team onwards.
Soon, the six of them arrived in this nameless town, and everything was as the Master Zhijian said, the buildings in the nameless town were messy, obviously unmanaged and unmaintained. On the main road, you can see people hawking all kinds of things to passers-by.
"After all these years, I'm afraid that many of the information I know is outdated, so let's go to the nameless tavern to find out the news first. The Master of Zhijian suggested to everyone.
"Of course, everything here can be handled by Senior Brother Zhijian alone. Ye Chen nodded in agreement with the idea of the Master Zhijian, and had fully integrated into his role.
"Alright, let's go. The Master Zhijian led a few people through the winding streets and alleys, and I don't know how many detours, until they finally came to a very dilapidated looking building.
"This is it. The Venerable Zhijian said, and immediately walked into it.
Ye Chen and the others looked at each other a few times in the back, a little bit unconvinced that they could get any valuable information in such a tavern. After a pause for a few seconds, he could only follow the Master Zhijian and walked in.
After entering the Nameless Tavern, Ye Chen found that the interior of the tavern was not as dilapidated as it looked from the outside, as if it could be blown down by a slightly stronger wind. The interior of the tavern is slightly decorated, and although it is not gorgeous, it is quite tasteful.
The most eye-catching thing in the whole tavern is a large wine rack not far from the entrance, on which are placed all kinds of clay pots, large and small, obviously storing different types of liquor. On the long platform in front of the wine rack, there stood a stout bearded man, with whom the Master of Zhijian was talking at the moment.
Seeing Ye Chen and the others coming in, Master Zhijian turned around and said, "You can find a random seat to sit down first, and I will chat with the boss, and I will come over in a while." ”
According to the identity arrangement, Ye Chen naturally couldn't come forward to be the leader, and among the remaining five people, the Lingneng Daoist took over the words of the Zhijian Master, and took a few people to find a place not far from the front desk to sit down.
A few people sat and waited, while turning their heads from time to time to take in the tavern. Although the whole tavern may not look large, it is quite spacious, in addition to a dozen round tables in the hall, there are open platforms on both sides, and a long table is placed on each side, which can accommodate more people.
Perhaps because it was not yet night, there were not many people in the tavern at this time, except for Ye Chen and a few people, there were only two or three people sitting at the round table. And it doesn't seem to be strong yet, and it's obviously not in the state yet.
It didn't take long for Master Zhijian to come back first, and after glancing at a few people, he opened his mouth to talk about the fatigue and experience along the way, knowing that the bearded boss had brought the wine, he lowered his voice and said: "I didn't expect that this bearded man still remembers me after many years, fortunately, I gave you all the clothes of my Liangyue Sword Sect, otherwise I am afraid you will have to wear them." ”
Ye Chen was surprised when he heard this: "Although you are just simple and easy to face, you shouldn't be able to be discovered directly." ”
Master Zhijian took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, it's just that I was called out by the other party as soon as I walked into this tavern, maybe people just say that my appearance has changed a little over the years, but they can still directly recognize the characteristics in my appearance." ”
The Psionic Daoist shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple, this nameless town is really as you said, the water is tight." I heard that the warriors of the southern states thought that they had a lot to deal with spirit beasts, so no matter how they looked at people and beasts, they did not rely on their appearance as the first judgment, but by their breath to identify them. ”
The Master of Zhijian suddenly said: "That's right, I didn't even think of this, so I think about it should be as you analyzed, this beard actually recognized me by his breath." ”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what happened to me, even if I am recognized, it doesn't matter, let's talk about the current situation. Master Zhijian took another sip of wine before he spoke: "I didn't expect that over the years, Nameless Town has really undergone a lot of changes, and although this Nameless Tavern is still the largest place for information exchange, there is no one to organize a team here. ”
"Yes, I don't know why?" Ye Chen asked. It stands to reason that an uncontrolled place like Nameless Town, without the intervention of large forces, the place where everyone has already acquiesced to its function should not change easily.
"According to the bearded man, a few years after I left here, the term 'mercenary' somehow arose in Nameless Town, and it seems that under the operation of someone with a heart, the mercenary hall was soon established. The original pattern of gathering teams in the Nameless Tavern to cross the Sunset Plains together has also been eliminated, and only the so-called mercenary teams are popular. Master Zhijian explained.
Ye Chen secretly thought in his heart, if there was the emergence of a mercenary system, then it would be normal for this tavern-style primitive assembly method to be shaken, but I don't know what force is behind this mercenary guild that can invisibly change the pattern of Nameless Town.
Master Zhijian further said: "Fortunately, after the establishment of this mercenary hall, only some mercenary missions were issued, which did not affect the interests of most people, and after the mercenary system, it was much easier to communicate and contact, and other forces also acquiesced to the existence of the mercenary hall. According to the bearded man's analysis, the mercenary guild should be behind a large chamber of commerce in a certain state group, and the mercenary guild hall was established here only to obtain all materials purposefully through mercenary tasks. ”
A few people nodded, thinking that this analysis was reasonable, and supporting third-party forces was the usual means of the Chamber of Commerce, so that it could not only have one more channel to obtain benefits, but also get rid of it in time if something happened, which was in line with the cunning character of businessmen.
"Now that we know a little bit about the changes in Nameless Town, what should we do next?" asked Taehara, who was sitting next to him.
"As we analyzed in the forest before, this period of time is still a relatively sensitive stage, and it is inevitable that there are still people who are fighting the idea of the Sect Master. After all, tiger wine is not a mortal thing, and we are not sure what those people will think, even if we are not afraid, we should also try to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. For now, we still try to follow the local customs. "Zhijian is humane.
Lan Fengshu became interested again at this time, and asked, "Then according to this meaning, we also want to be mercenaries?" This is good, interesting, interesting. ”
"In the past, although it was easy to form a team in the nameless town, the security was not high, and it was normal to lose half of the manpower in a trip through the Sunset Plains, and even the slightly less powerful teams were wiped out. And after having the mercenary system, this aspect is much safer, and the mercenary level of the warrior who has reached a certain height organizes mercenaries of the same level to cross the Sunset Plains, which is now the most common way, but it takes a long time. "Master Zhijian is also a little embarrassed about the time spent, although he can't be too anxious at this time, but there is no need to spend too much time.
