Rebirth of the Stars
v2 Chapter 198
Mercenary Avenue in the Association District of Koka City is the stronghold of most of the city-state mercenary organizations. The team stronghold and residence of the Dao Scar and others are also located here, a small compound that is large enough to live for fifty people.
After returning to his home base, Scar asked Zisab to inform everyone to attend the meeting in the chamber. Then go ahead and wait in the chamber.
Scar feels that there are some things that need to be discussed with Scar.
"General, I..." In the chair and deputy of the chamber, Scar was a little hesitant looking at the meditating knife sitting on the chair.
If the term "general" is known to outsiders, it will definitely surprise you. Because this is the identity specifically designated by the army, and it is also an indesectable part of the city-state civilization.
Practitioners who can be called generals are only those who have been commanders in the city-state legion system with a command of ten thousand or more, and their cultivation must be at the pinnacle of the lieutenant level or at the school level of the sub-level.
Obviously, both the repair of the scars and the fine scars are only at the husband level. The two are just the leaders of a team-level mercenary organization. This is very strange.
However, the tone of the thin scar that calls the knife general is very natural, as it should be. The scar that was called the general was just a little complicated flashing in his eyes without any dissent.
Scar raised his eyes to look at the thin scar, and sighed lightly: "Axi, don't get into the horns. In that case, neither you nor I can help. And don't forget, I killed you."
"But my life is the general's! If it weren't the general, everyone..." Scar or Li Xi rebuked himself with excitement.
"Stop talking, Axi. Don't mention the previous things, this matter will stop here. If you are planted, you will be planted. Don't sink yourself into it. Even without your two knives, you and I will be the same as everyone else. Self-destruct. That enchantment is so horrible." Scar stopped Li Xi's self-blame and warned.
Reassured again: "And if it weren't for your two knives, I wouldn't know how we were fooled."
Then he took a sigh of relief and said, "It's a bit of a ditch to grow a wiser."
"General..." Li Xi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Li Xi knows."
"Yeah." Scar nodded, lifted his right hand to touch the stubble on his chin, and said with a little thought and emotion: "I don't know how many people are there this time..." Then he shook his head. , Frowned and stopped talking.
After a while, he looked at Li Xi and said, "Axi, what do you think of the player named Ning Yuan?"
The slender scar at the corner of Li Xi's eye jumped, with a cold light radiating from the corner of his eye, gritted his teeth and said, "A traitor."
"Heh," Scar shook his head, watching Li Xi gritted his teeth and sighed, "It seems that you won't be able to pass this hurdle easily."
His expression became serious, and he stared into Li Xi's eyes and said coldly: "Li Xi, next time I encounter life-threatening, I will use you to fend off arrows."
Li Xi looked startled, but did not hesitate to get up and kneel on the ground, his expression solemn and reverent and said: "Yes! General."
Scar shook his head somewhat irritably, and looked at Li Xi's serious and relieved expression with a headache. It was because of this person's dead brain that he broke the other's neck without any hesitation when he woke up. He didn't expect to have to use this method to make this kid feel at ease.
He sighed secretly for a while, and when he saw that Li Xi finally returned to normal, he asked again: "Tell me what do you think of that kid?"
Li Xi frowned, a little angrily said: "Cunning villain."
Then he calmed down in Scar’s majestic eyes, and then calmly added: “That kid seems to be very good at using his own weakness to mislead others. Although the words are true under the oath of the system, he should be playing with words now. Game. Very decisive, tolerant, and able to make use of circumstances. If it is not because of weak strength, he should be a strong guy by nature."
"Is it strong?" The big scarred eyes blinked, and Ning Yuan's calm and watery expression underneath his slightly bookish soft face came to mind. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "Maybe it's not strong."
Seeing Li Xi showing a puzzled look, she shook her head and said in confusion, "Some are unclear, but I feel like this."
Then he sighed slightly: "If it weren't for him to say it personally, this time we would have been really inexplicable. After all, we have been away for too long and have forgotten the things that should be most vigilant in the war."
Li Xi lowered his head sadly.
Scar was a little self-deprecating smile, and then went on: "The carelessness under the comparison of strengths, the negligence under the asymmetry of information, to be honest, now that I want to come, we really lose not injustice."
Li Xi thought about it, nodded as approval, and then recalled: "I was supposed to go to the front to investigate when driving away the wall, but at that time I chose to walk out of the passage together."
"Because that is how mercenaries are usually handled." Scar said with a wry smile: "And we have been mercenaries for ten years."
Li Xi also bitterly said: "From the initial unaccustomedness to the accustomed now. If it weren't for this solidified face and resurrection scar that can't be repaired, I would really think that mercenaries are all our memories."
At this moment, Zi Scar came in and informed everyone that they were back.
After everyone came in, Scar and Li Xi had calmed down.
Everyone first told each other about the current situation, and waited until the person who had returned first to report the situation to Scar before they looked at everyone calmly and said:
"Brothers, because of this incident, all of us now have only one last life."
Everyone looked at each other, and they all bowed their heads in silence.
Scar looked at the silent people with a slightly proud smile on their faces full of flesh, and said with a chuckle:
"Why are you so depressed? It's not that we haven't died. What's more, we have experienced things more terrible than death, haven't we?"
"Five years in the army and thirteen years in Koka City. From the abolition of the cultivation base to becoming a practitioner again, there have been countless battles in the eighteen years, but in the 13 years in Koka City, no one was killed and reincarnated. The lord of the city is still offering us a reward even now. What are we not satisfied with. Although we were a little frustrated this time, we will also be planted. As long as we keep a low profile for a year or a half, we still have a chance. Don’t. Forget that next year’s Shaoyin Jihai month 15 will be a god-given day once every ten years in the Nieno continent. On that day, as long as we are lucky, we will be able to recover at least one resurrection."
Everyone was startled, and thought for a while. The relatively stable life in the past ten years has made them forget everything they have experienced. Compared with before, all this now including this somewhat aggrieved death is really nothing. What's more, they were able to return to the ranks of practitioners only ten years ago on the Godsend Day. Otherwise, they will be reincarnated early with their previous fate.
Seeing everyone's spirits refreshed, Scar nodded and said in a serious tone:
"The key is what shall we do in the next year and a half? The matter that has just been resurrected has already been known by our current enemy bald. With his hatred for us, he will definitely try his best to treat us as soon as the beast tide period is over. Let's start. We all know how ruthless this demon's methods are. If we don't respond, it will be difficult for us to survive."
"My lord, can you just tell me what to do?" Zi Scar looked at the crowd and raised his head to look at the calm face of Scar.
"Okay." Scar nodded and said, "I will talk about our next arrangements."
"Zhangzi, you first clean up some of the accumulated things in the warehouse and re-arm everyone. In addition, a large amount of logistics materials are purchased from the dark market, mainly grains, soldiers' grain pills, bigu pills, blood tonic ointment and wound medicine. By the way, Jing Yuan also pay attention."
Zhang Zi, that is, nodded, calmly.
Scar nodded, looked at the little man sitting behind, and said:
"Muzi, the bald-headed Xu demon will definitely send someone to investigate the situation of our collective resurrection. Go and disclose the news."
The little man Mu Scar was taken aback, then reacted and asked:
"Boss, how much to reveal?"
"Except for our cause of death, all." Scar said condensedly.
"Okay." Liu Mu nodded, indicating that he knew it.
Scar looked at Li Xi, thin scar, and said:
"Axi went to the Mercenary Association to apply for the resurrection weakness rest period and the resurrection weakness protection period."
Li Xi looked at Scar.
"Until the 15th of next year."
Li Xi nodded and said:
"Does it redeem with points for over a few months?"
"Exchange. Also, please help Master Yue to copy what we used in the army." Scar nodded.
Li Xi's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Yes, General."
Everyone looked at each other with joy, and the general seemed to have plans to recover.
Scar looked at the expressions of the people, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, but it suddenly stopped, and said in a serious tone:
"Second ring, after a while, you will secretly summon all the people who followed us to Koka City, and let everyone slowly pick up those things in the army. All of us are the same, taking advantage of the savings of these years to pay back. Can afford to splurge and pick up all the things that were once lost. This is our last way out."
The second sound, the arrow scar among the eight who turned back first, stood up a little excited, bowed, and replied, "Yes. General."
Li Xi looked at the eagerness and excitement in everyone's eyes. Although I don't understand why the general who has been keeping everyone careful to hide, and even letting everyone completely abandon their previous habits, would let everyone pick up everything they used to be at this time, but as long as the general has the plan to come out, he is enough.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Xiping regained the turmoil in his heart, and said a little worried: "General, will this cause that person's attention? You must know that the minion has already appeared in several nearby city-states."
Scar's eyes were cold, he raised his hand to touch the flesh on his face, and said in an inexplicable tone: "As long as the face that Master Xuan received in exchange for his life is still there, the gang spies don't need to worry. Moreover, Nieno Every day in the mainland, city-states are wiped out, and the soldiers who flee do not lack our vote."
In the Longshan Region, it should be more accurate to say that it should be the entire Nieno continent, and some city-state alliances are of special nature.
This type of city-state alliance will basically not expand abroad in a war situation, and its position is impartial and completely neutral.
This type of city-state alliance is called a neutral alliance.
Generally speaking, this kind of city-state alliance holds a certain kind of "lifeline", which is enough to ensure that it can live in the right and left between the city-states and the city-state alliance, but also allows those city-states and the city-state alliance to guard against each other and dare not overstep the thunder pool.
The Commercial League where Mochizuki City is located is such a purely neutral city-state alliance organization.
The Commercial League, as the name suggests, is a city-state alliance based on commerce. In other words, this alliance is an alliance composed of multiple purely commercial city-states. Among them, there are five giant city-states, 15 large-scale city-states, 46 medium-sized city-states, and no small-scale city-states.
It is not accurate to say that there are no small city states. It is true that the Commercial League does not have a small city-state directly under it. Because they only absorb medium-sized and above pure commercial city-states to join. But there are still small city-states at the grassroots level.
In fact, it is not a small city state, more accurately it is an urban area.
Through commercial circulation and resource supply, the Commercial League occupies an urban area as a subsidiary of almost all the city-states with which it communicates. It is equivalent to a concession with independent authority.
Although the hard scale of the business alliance can only be regarded as a large force in the entire Longshan domain, it is enough to be called the largest force in the Longshan domain when it is counted as soft. The production of various resources occupied has reached about 40% of the entire Longshan Region. It can almost be said that as long as the Longshan Region has it, there is nothing that cannot be bought in the Commercial League. Even if it is not available in the Longshan domain, the Commercial League has channels to obtain it from other domains. This is the "lifeblood" that the business alliance holds.
The Commercial League has dedicated commercial areas in more than 50% of the medium-sized city-states in the Longshan Region, which is the "concession" just mentioned, and this scale is still expanding with time and the emergence of medium-sized city-states.
The largest business district in Koka City is the Mochizuki area established by Mochizuki City, one of the five giants of the Business League.
There is a rumor of praise about Mochizuki City, one of the five giants of the business alliance: "The Mochizuki area in Mochizuki City, the Wangyue area is hopeful, and the Wangyue Tower is on the Wangyue Pavilion. The Wangyue Pavilion contains the universe and collects the world.
There is also a Wangyue Tower in the Mochizuki area in Koka City, and there is also a Wangyue Pavilion on the Wangyue Tower, and the Wangyue Pavilion also contains a lot of goods from the Longshan domain. It's just that the commodities in the Mochizuki Pavilion in Koka City are living things, to be precise, "people" and "women".
The Wangyue Pavilion in Koka City is a shop that specializes in selling female **** workers. The whole Mochizuki Tower is the largest slave trading market in Koka City.
The slave thing has existed since the beginning of the city-state alliance. It's actually easy to understand. When there is war, there will be prisoners, refugees, and homeless people. Although all the aborigines of the Nieno continent have long been accustomed to war and don't care much about who is on top of their heads, it is an extravagant hope for people to always be rational. So even if you are accustomed to it, you will also have hatred, and you will resist the so-called habituation because of the hatred.
So how to deal with this kind of existence? It is naturally impossible to kill them all, so as a slave trade has become a natural choice.
The legal origins of slaves are basically divided into three categories, prisoners of war, refugees in the wild, and self-fallen. The prisoners of war are the soldiers and practitioners who surrendered or captured. Refugees in the wild are those who have no household registration or have lost their household registration. The so-called self-fallen are those who sell their own existence for some reason.
As for the reason why a long paragraph was introduced to introduce the existence of the business alliance and the slave trade, it was naturally because Xu Yong and the master he welcomed back from the resurrection hall were now on the Mochizuki Tower in the Mochizuki district of Koka City.
There is no need to say more about the purpose of coming here, "to accompany the prince to study".
In the Wangyue Pavilion, which specializes in selling slaves of beautiful women of various races, Xu Yong and his younger brothers followed suit with a young man in black Confucian clothing.
The man wants to say that Junyi's appearance is indeed Junyi, and his face also has a natural arrogance. However, whether it is the deep bags under the eyes, the pale and bloodless face, and the vain and feeble footsteps all show that the young man's body has been hollowed out by the color of wine.
There is no doubt that this is a dude. And it is not the children of the nobles who seem to be frivolous and elite, but the real dudes who have completely degenerated themselves.
The young man's name is Xue Qing, and he is the heir of a big figure in the "Xingyan" where Xu Yong is.
Although the big man has a lot of heirs, it is said that this one is still very popular. So Xu Yong could only wait carefully. After all, he was backed by "Xingyan", and this time this time he came with that person's instructions.
However, serving the young man is really not that easy to serve, especially this one who has just been slaughtered once, and now his heart is on fire.
"Has anyone caught it?" Xue Qing selected a few favorite products from the slave materials handed over by Wangyue Pavilion's supervisor and asked the other party to bring them for inspection. He turned to look at Xu Yong's suppressed annoyed tone and said blankly.
Xu Yong gestured to a little brother who was in charge of the conversation next to him. The little brother nodded and replied with some flattery: "My son, the man has been caught. It has been brought to your room. This time I promise that the other party cannot resist."
"Yeah." Xue Qing's expression was slightly relaxed, and his tone of voice was relaxed: "It's a good job. This son, I don't care about your responsibility to protect the disadvantages this time."
Immediately gritted her teeth and said angrily: "That cheap maid actually dared to stab my son with scissors, causing him to lose a soul-recovering pill for nothing. My son will definitely want her to survive and die. Huh."
After sending a few ruthless words, Xue Qing looked at Xu Yong again and said, "You have been here for seven years, haven't you?"
Xu Yong motioned to the younger brother to reply again.
"Yes, son. My captain has been in Koka City for almost eight years."
"So, has it been found in that place?" Xue Qing looked at Xu Yongdao coldly.
The younger brother was taken aback. As Xu Yong's confidant, he glanced at his captain, and then carefully said: "Master Qi, my captain has never forgotten his mission for seven years. After many investigations, he can be sure that the secret realm is indeed near Longsen. Seven Over the years, people have been sent to investigate. Although several underground secrets have been found, they are not there. The team leader judged that the location should not be on the Longsen boundary but on the side of the Fulong Mountain next to Longsen."
"Have you found the specific location?" Xue Qing asked.
The little brother lowered his head in shame, and whispered in fear: "I haven't found it yet."
"Huh?!" Xue Qing's eyes turned cold for an instant, and the high-ranking aura he had been fascinated with since childhood enveloped the audience, staring at Xu Yong with cold eyes.
Although Xue Qing is an out-and-out dude, and his strength is only a soldier-level piling up through resources, the high-ranking aura inherited from that big man still makes Xu Yong's body slightly stiff, and his bright bald head is looming. Cold sweat.
Xue Qingyin stared at Xu Yong's intact right eye coldly, looked at Xu Yong's slightly dodging eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "Seven years, nearly eight years, I can't even find a secret realm. Can you still waste it? ?"
"Humph." With a cold snort, he turned and walked towards the slave display area, and said in a gloomy tone: "The surname is Xu, don't forget that my father only gave you ten years, and there was no explanation in ten years. You should know What will you end up with."
"Hey!" He sneered, and his tone turned into playful abuse: "Although the sound of evil is rare, you are not the candidate alone. However, your only side effect is that your body gradually becomes feminine as your talent deepens. If you don't want to be a man If you completely become a woman, you'd better hug the big tree of my Xingyan. Although this son still wants to see you completely transformed into a woman. After all, in history, you are as evil as you. Voices of talented people eventually become seductive beauties."
Xu Yong lowered his head and said nothing, clenched his hands unconsciously, and an astonishing cold light exuded in his intact right eye.
Since the awakening of his talent, his most taboo is that others talk about the side effects of his talent, so when "Xingyan" promised to give him a platform four years ago, he couldn't wait to create the whole Koka City knowing everything is still secretive. The demise of the door.
However, although he wanted to kill the boy in front of him, Xu Yong still had to endure it unless he wanted to die.
Although the city-state aborigines are not much different from players in many mechanisms, they are only similar. Just like the resurrection mechanism, mortals among the city-state aborigines have no resurrection times. Once they die, they have to be reincarnated, that is, they are truly'dead' if they die. Only after becoming a practitioner can he be given three chances of resurrection by the rules of the Nieno continent. This is also one of the reasons why Xue Qing, as a dude, will use resources to build himself up as a soldier-level practitioner.
And the upper limit is set there, three times. There is no way to increase the upper limit.
Although it is possible to replenish the number of resurrection consumed through various methods like the player, the number of replenishment also has an upper limit. That's three, nine, twenty-seven times. Regardless of whether it is the regular gift of the God-given Day once every ten years or the special pill supplement such as "Returning Soul Pill" like Xue Qing, there are only 27 chances of resurrection in his lifetime. Of course, this refers to the ideal state when the indigenous people have enough channels and opportunities to restore the number of resurrection.
The aboriginal practitioners of the city-state will truly ‘dead’ when they have exhausted the number of resurrection three times and cannot replenish them, and then reincarnate from a mortal baby in accordance with the rules of reincarnation. And will completely lose all memories of this life. Of course, gender, appearance and even race will be brand new.
The players are different. Although Ning Yuan still doesn't know the specific rules, he understands the basic situation. After the player has the household registration, regardless of whether he becomes a practitioner or not, he will immediately receive five resurrection times, and the upper limit of the resurrection times can be increased to nine times through various methods. It is also possible to give unlimited resurrection times through special pill such as "Returning Soul Pill" and some special methods such as rules.
Of course, like the city-state aboriginal practitioners, if the upper limit of the number of resurrection times is exhausted and there is no supplementary means, they will be forced to reincarnate by the rules. It’s just different from the aborigines of the city-state. The player will not completely lose the memory of his previous life, only a part of the insignificant part. Of course, Ning Yuan still doesn’t know this. I believe that the player as a whole will not lose it for a long time. Easily detect this change.
And the player's gender will not change after being reincarnated. As for appearance and race, if you don't want to, it will remain the same.
