Mage The Traveler

Ancestor

“Mercenary registration requires 1 gold coin.” That young girl answered with a smiled.

Long Yi nodded his head, paid the fee, took the form given by that young girl and filled it. Finally after that, that young girl gave him a mercenary card and a mercenary medal. A shield and two swords cross were engraved above that medal, and that medal was white in color. As a most low level F-ranked mercenary, after successfully completing certain number of missions, he could rise in rank. The medal of E-ranked mercenary was red in color, D-ranked was green color, C-ranked was yellow color, B-ranked was purple color, A-ranked was silver color, S-rank was golden color, and S-rank was also the highest level of mercenary.

After that Long Yi arrived at mercenary mission issuing place, and saw a huge blackboard where various kind of missions of different rank was written. Long Yi looked through the F-ranked missions for a while, and discovered that all the missions were only kill several fire rabbit, deliver a letter and so on type of mission. E-ranked and D-ranked missions were also comparatively simple, no challenge at all.

Suddenly, Long Yi saw an A-ranked mission on the top of the blackboard, which stated that, go to the Yuxu Mountain which was 800 li away from Light city, and kill B-class magical beast, Earth bear. After that take out a white colored jade like stone from its abdomen. Mission reward; 10,000 Amethyst coins. Seeing this, Long Yi was dumbfounded, and thought, “Is this talking about that Earth bear?”

Long Yi pondered: “How did the person who issued this mission knew that there is a white colored jade inside the abdomen of Earth bear? His purpose is clearly that white colored jade, 10,000 Amethyst coins, truly a good bait.” But Long Yi was naturally not that stupid to hand over that white colored jade to complete this mission. His intuition was telling him that there was a big conspiracy behind this mission, and he didn’t want to take initiative to engulf inside it.

Just then, a burst of clamor came through the hall of mercenary guild, so Long Yi looked towards the hall, and saw a 7 chi giant man who was carrying very huge sword on his shoulder, was using his thunder like voice to shout and draw the attention of all the people.

Long Yi go over, and listen to this giant man: “For Huang mang plain’s Lost city mission, we are recruiting high ranked fighters and magicians. Our team is very powerful, we have 2 Advance Magician, 2 Advance Fighter, 1 Swords Master, and 1 elf archer. Anyone that want to join, come to sign up.”

As soon as this giant man opened his mouth, more than half of the originally lively crowd suddenly dispersed, and one of the person among them who looked like a magician spoke: “Only fool would take this A-ranked mission, last time Heavenly thunder mercenary group took this mission, and were completely wiped out in Huang mang plain.”

Hearing what this magician had said, Long Yi immediately pulled to stop him and asked: “Elder brother, is the strength of Heavenly thunder mercenary group which you have mentioned just a moment ago comparable to this person’s group?”

This magician looked at Long Yi from top to bottom, and saw F-ranked mercenary medal on his chest, only then he had an appearance of understanding, after that he replied to Long Yi: “Did you have just join the mercenary guild? If so then no wonder you don’t know about Heavenly thunder mercenary guild. This Heavenly thunder mercenary group was B-ranked mercenary group, had 1 Master Magician, 1 Great Swords Master, and a dozen or so Advance magicians and Advance Fighters. But even they were completely wiped out in Huang mang plain, now you say yourself, aren’t this fool and several other Advance Fighters just courting death?”

After hearing this, Long Yi thought for a while, then looking at the disappointed face of that giant man, he walked over with a smile and said: “Hello, may I ask if I can join?”

That giant man looked at Long Yi, saw his dress up, and mistakenly believed that Long Yi was one of those son of rich family coming over to seek amusement, so that giant man instantly snapped: “We are going for a mission, not for a tour.”

“I said I want to go with you for the mission, look here, just a moment ago, I have already registered as a mercenary.” Long Yi said with a smile while pointing at his mercenary medal on his chest.

The giant man hesitated for a short while and asked: “Are you a magician or a fighter?”

“Fighter.” Long Yi took out a huge sword from his space ring, then just like the giant man he also carried his huge sword in his shoulder.

Seeing the huge sword on the shoulder of Long Yi, the eyes of that giant man revealed envy. The mighty and magnificent design of this huge sword clearly showed that this huge sword was crafted by the hand of first-rate dwarf. And the blade of this huge sword was made up of forged steel with one hundred refining. So the price of this sword would definitely be more than 5 Amethyst coins.

“Are you Advance Fighter?” The attention of that giant man didn’t leave the huge sword of Long Yi.

Long Yi just smiled, then waved his huge sword which flashed with light blue colored douqi.

“You are a Swords Master? We naturally welcome you to join us.” That giant man was excited, he had never expected that this youth who looked less than 20 years old was actually Swords Master level. He however had to train hard for more than 30 years to reach the standard of Swords Master.

“My name is Ha Lei, what is your name?” The giant man forthright extend his big hand.

“Long Yi, I hope pleasant cooptation.” Long Yi also extend his hand and reached out to hold the hand of that giant man.

“Please wait here for a moment, so we can find one magician and then we can meet with other fellows.” That giant man answered Long Yi.

Ha Lei shouted several times again all over the place, but when everyone heard Huang mang plain’s Lost city mission, they dispersed. So just when Long Yi and Ha Lei intended to go to another location to meet the other companions, and also have a lunch at the same time, a soft voice came: “I don’t know if I could join?”

Hearing this voice, Long Yi turned around and was dumbfounded, because it turned out to be that the person asking was the same woman who had conflict with him in the inn. As before she was wearing black robe, and as before she had a plain face.

“My name is Leng Youyou, Advance Spirit Magician.” Leng Youyou introduced herself to Ha Lei as if she didn’t see Long Yi, then directly took out a medal of magician guild.

“You are Spirit Magician, good good, you are welcome to join. Finally we are ready.” Ha Lei happily said. He didn’t expect that he had such good fortune today, not only did he find a Swords master, moreover he still found an Advance Spirit Magician. One should know that Spirit Magician were extremely rare, they could attack silently so it was hard to guard against it, and the most terrible thing was they could directly attack the soul. Once soul suffers damaged, that person either becomes i***t or becomes vegetable.

After that the eyes of Long Yi and Leng Youyou directly met, and sparks flew about in all direction.

“So your name is Leng Youyou, it seems we two are fated to meet each other.” Long Yi said with a smile.

Leng Youyou just snorted and replied in a cold voice: “Who is predetermined by fate with you?”

“How is this not a fate, as they says, it takes a hundred years to stay in a ship together, and it takes a thousand years to sleep on the same bed, we are now aboard people, so it seems we must have already known each other for hundred years in precious incarnation.” Long Yi laughed.

“Even if we knew each other, we were definitely enemies in our previous incarnation.” Leng Youyou replied.

“If previously there is any problem between you two, leave it alone for now. Now I will take you to meet our other companions.” Said Ha Lei. After that he walked out from mercenary guild.

Leng Youyou resolutely stared at Long Yi and followed Hai Lei. Long Yi looked at the perk buttocks of Leng Youyou and couldn’t help but lightly laugh: “Although appearance is not up to much, but actually possessed the real devil figure, che.”

Ha Lei took Long Yi and Leng Youyou to the Adventurer pub. This pub had extremely big reputation in Light city. And this pub was the gathering place of numerous mercenaries and adventurer.

The pub’s light was somewhat dim, people with various occupation and race were dispersed throughout the hall. And uniformed pub girls with tray were also ceaselessly moving through this crowd.

Ha Lei led two of them to a corner of a pub. On the table at that corner, five peoples were sitting, presumably the companions of Ha Lei.

Long Yi carefully looked at these five peoples, two of them were male magicians of about 30 years old with extremely ordinary appearance. Among them one was wearing red colored fire element magic robe, and other one was wearing pure white colored ritual robe. And when Long Yi saw two fighters, he couldn’t help but become stupefied, as one of them was actually a fighter of about 8 chi tall from Barbarian bull clan, two bull horn vertically stood above his head, and his face still had some characteristic of bull face. Other warrior was human, of about 25 or 26 in age, had fierce-looking face, and two sturdy arms was exposed from his leather armor, which had many crisscrossed scars on it. From these scars one could see that he was definitely very experienced fighter. After that when Long Yi saw that petite elf with a pure and graceful figure wearing green colored suit, the heart of Long Yi couldn’t help but gasp in admiration. Elf clan was indeed a beautiful clan.

At this moment, Ha Lei had already begun to introduce, pointing at the magician wearing red colored fire magic robe, he said: “He is Advance fire magician, Ge Leite.” Ge Leite superciliously nodded his head, Long Yi just smile and also didn’t mind it, because all the magicians of Canglan continent were more or less rather arrogant, especially magicians with little bit of strength.

“This is Advance Light element Magician, Lan Tian, furthermore also an Advanced Priest.” Pointing at other magician, Ha Lei introduced. All priests were also Light magician, but all the light magicians were not priests. Priest was a form of address to a type of job of Light church, so all the peoples of church could be called priests.

“Welcome to our ranks.” Contrary to what one might expect, Lan Tian didn’t show any arrogance, just mildly greeted Long Yi and Leng Youyou with a smile.

“They are Advance Fighter Shi Yan and Yong Shi of Barbarian bull clan, calling him barbarian bull is also okay.” Pointing at that fierce looking human fighter and Barbarian bull clan fighter, Ha Lei introduced.

“Hello.” Barbarian bull said with a humming voice, then stretched his big hand towards Long Yi, and his eyes showed provocation.

Long Yi just smiled, stretched out his delicate big hand, naturally this big hand was merely conversely speaking, if the hand of Barbarian bull was compared to the hand of adult, then the hand of Long Yi was just the hand of an infant.

One black and one white, two hands held each other, Long Yi felt a huge surge of power, if he was an ordinary person, then the bones of his hands would have already been squeezed to paste by this Barbarian Bull. But Long Yi was smiling as before, and the internal force of Ao Tian Jue was operating to dissolve the strength of Barbarian Bull. Naturally Long Yi also wouldn’t forget this easily, and thought to teach him a lesson, just like how he taught a lesson to Leng Youyou.

The hand of Long Yi slowly began to contract, then the face of Barbarian bull became deathly pale, and he started to break out with large amount of cold sweats.

“Big stature, and pretty good strength.” Long Yi smiled and used his left hand to pat the shoulder of Barbarian bull, but he naturally didn’t release the right hand of Barbarian bull.

The pale face of Barbarian ox suddenly became very red, and gritting his teeth, he said: “Brother, I, Barbarian bull am convinced of your strength, so can you let go your hold.” Hearing this, Long Yi released his hand, then Barbarian quickly shook his hand continuously. Ha Lei was surprised as he noticed a deep purple colored five finger mark on the big hand of Barbarian, then he looked towards Long Yi with a little bit more respect.

“She is elf archer, Lu Xiya.” Ha Lei carried on to introduce.

“Hello, little elf.” Long Yi greeted Lu Xiya with a smile. Then the pair of beautiful big eyes of Lu Xiya quite strangely sized him from top to bottom.

“Don’t call me Little elf, I am not little, I am already over 150 years old.” Lu Xiya said with dissatisfaction.

“Hehe, 150 years old elves are equivalent to merely 15 or 16 years old humans, so calling you little elf is isn’t wrong.” Long Yi smiled.

“Pervert.” Leng Youyou coldly snorted. Seeing Long Yi was eagerly talking with Lu Xiya, made her heart extremely uncomfortable, as she still bore the grudge for that remark ‘Not that hungry that I can’t pick what I eat’ of yesterday.

At this moment, Ha Lei introduced Long Yi and Leng Youyou. When they realized Long Yi, this child appearance person had actually reached Swords Master rank, they couldn’t help but became extremely amazed and great respect appeared on their eyes. Only about 18 years in age and already Swords Master, with this they already knew that his future was limitless.

And when they knew that Leng Youyou was Advance Spirit Magician, all of them again simultaneously exclaimed in admiration. All of them clearly knew the terrifying attack power of Spirit Magician, and an Advance Spirit Magician is already a heavyweight anywhere they go.

Seeing the amazed expression on their face, Long Yi couldn’t help but stealthily though inside his heart: “If they know Leng Youyou can also use dark magic, then what type of expression would they make.”

“Well, since everyone have already gathered, let’s talk about the mission we are about to do. This Lost city mission we are about to do is extremely dangerous. You should have already heard about the matter of the complete wiped out of Heavenly thunder mercenary group.” Ha Lei spoke up to here, and paused. After that with extremely solemn complexion he continued.

“Although our strength is not comparable to theirs, nevertheless we also possess the advantage they didn’t have.” Ha Lei said this much and took out a map from his body and continued: “This is the map of Huang mang plain, was passed down from my ancestors. It is marked with the direction of Lost city, and the distribution of various kind of magical beasts are also illustrated in this map. So as long as we proceed carefully, we will be able to safely find Lost city.” Ha Lei had clearly lowered his voice, after all there were many peoples in the pub, and he only wanted his group to know that he had the map of Huang Mang plain in his body.

“We will equally distribute the rewards of the mission and the treasures discovered in Lost city. Is there any problem in distributing like this?”

Everyone shook their head to express that there is not any problem.

“Good, since there is no problem, early morning tomorrow we will meet at the east gate of Light city. Now for the time being until tomorrow, you can busy yourself with your own matter.”

Long Yi didn’t leave, rather go to a bar and ordered a cup of fruit wine called ‘green field with immortal footprint’. After that he started to ponder while care freely sipping that wine. “I didn’t expect that the worlds of this giant fellow Ha Lei is this clear and logical, but it is not this simple like it resembles outside. The map didn’t looked that old, was it really handed down by his ancestor?”

“Hehe, interesting, it looks like this trip will be very interesting.” Long Yi rotate the wine cup, and a smile appeared on his face.
