"I had hoped to make Casola my guard, but seeing that Casola was determined to leave, I didn’t keep him. After all, in this world, only when you pack a strong punch will others listen to you. Casola paid a deep respect to you and then, with a long howl, vanished into the dense forest carrying the Serrated Spear swiftly.
"Mu Yun, you are welco to my territory in the future; the gates of Wolf War Valley will always be open for you." Kuang Zhan, along with a group of his followers, waved goodbye to you.
"I’ll definitely co when I have the chance, and then I can have a few rounds of sparring with you, Elder Brother."
"Great, then I’ll prepare food, drinks, and beautiful won for when you co!"
"Mr. Muyun, we will deliver the money we owe you in a week," said the man in black before darting away with his followers.
"Mu Yun, get your neck cleaned and wait for to chop it off!" Du Bin left behind this poisonous remark as he quickly disappeared into the forest with the help of his subordinates.
"Iron hand, co here." Gangdan called over a robust middle-aged man, who approached Gangdan with great reverence and paid his respects.
"He is called Mu Yun, and he has officially joined our group; he will be under your guidance from now on."
"Yes!" Iron hand nodded at you and you responded with a smile.
"Mu Yun, Iron hand is a Level Three rcenary, and you are now an official mber of our rcenary Group. There has always been a rule in our group where veteran mbers ntor the newcors. Until you earn a Level Three Badge like his, Iron hand will always be your teacher."
"Hmm, I understand."
"Then follow Iron hand, as this mission has co to a successful conclusion, everyone will be awarded a hundred gold once we’re back."
"Oh!" Everyone cheered loudly.
"Mu Yun, once we’re back, I’ll take you to the headquarters’ Camp of Wind and Moon for an all-nighter!" Kaidi babbled on excitedly without fear of breaking his seemingly fragile bones with his jumping.
"Camp of Wind and Moon?"
"Yeah, Camp of Wind and Moon! It’s a place with beautiful won from all over, and as long as you can afford the price, and have more bravery than others, you can choose any beauty you want to spend ti with!"
"But..." As you said this, you glanced at Kaidi’s lower half, which was nothing but a few shiny bone sticks.
"Pfft, that’s where you’re clueless, who says a Skeleton can’t have desires? I’m not interested in your Human beauties; my absolute favorite are our Undead spirit sisters! Those soul-hooking eyes, those smiles, oh my god, I can hardly take it."
Iron hand pulled you aside and laughed, "You might not know this, but the Camp of Wind and Moon caters to all races. Like Kaidi said about Ghosts, they can engage in ethereal enjoynt through a certain magic and Spiritual Body. And believe it or not, sotis the spiritual sensation is much more satisfying than the physical. I’ve tried it a few tis, and it’s quite good, and cheap too—only one silver."
"Right, that’s not really my cup of tea," you said with an embarrassed smile.
"Alright, it’s getting late; let’s head back," said Gangdan as his floating figure gradually faded and then vanished.
"Mu Yun, although your status may be different from the others, no one in our group is privileged. You must start from the bottom. My team is based in the southwestern Gordon City; you should co with ."
"Okay." You bid farewell to Kaidi and Dak and split up with Iron hand and the others.
Kaidi and Dak didn’t try to keep you since they were not in the sa camp as you.
"Iron hand, what do we rcenaries usually do?"
You didn’t address Iron hand as ’teacher’, as to be honest, in this world, no one could truly be your teacher.
"As long as there’s money on the line, we will do anything."
"Even murder and arson?"
"Yes."
You pondered for a mont and then asked, "Is Gordon City our rcenary Group’s own city?"
"We are rcenaries, not warlords. Our group stations troops in Gordon City, Locke City, and Jugong City, each with a division of our group, acting as their guardians in exchange for a lucrative paynt. Our headquarters is located in the central area of these cities, perched on the solitary mountain of Sad Plains, accessible only to rcenaries of third level or above."
You nodded and then asked, "How does a rcenary raise their level?"
"rcenaries can only increase their level by continuously carrying out missions, but this is very difficult for most people. Typically, we disdain simple tasks, and unless it’s a large-scale battle, each task shouldn’t involve more than five people. This rule is deadly for less capable rcenaries. However, despite this, new mbers join our group every day, many of whom are well-known in their own rights."
Seeing that you were silent, Iron hand paused before continuing, "We have established two divisions in Gordon City, one for Humans, and the other for Half-Orcs. When we get to Gordon City, you must be careful. Half-Orcs and us do not get along; be cautious not to get killed by them. Our group allows duels under a one-on-one condition, and the loser must forfeit all their possessions to the winner, who may deal with the loser as they please."
Thinking that the silence ant you were frightened by the brutality of the rcenary Group, Iron hand trembled slightly. However, you were actually clenching your fists with eagerness, looking forward to Iron hand as you asked, "So what you’re saying is if I find soone disagreeable, I can directly duel them, and after defeating them, their wives and children beco my dependents?"
Iron hand was taken aback at first, then nodded, "It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and for many female rcenaries, they are always seeking strong support. The most popular thing in our group is competitive martial engagents for marriage."
"Oh!" you nodded. This world is indeed quite domineering.
"Cough, anyway, we better get moving. You’ll understand once we’re in Gordon City."
On the way to Gordon City, you asked Iron hand many questions about the Beauty and the Beast rcenary Group; he told you everything he knew.
By the next noon, you stood in front of the towering city gates of Gordon City.
A massive Skull adorned the top of Gordon City’s gate, and the battlents on the city wall were unique, all being iron Skeletons. Fortunately, not all the comings and goings through the city gate were sporadic Ghosts and disgusting Zombies—there were other races with relatively normal appearances.
"Stranger, you look unfamiliar, is this your first ti to Gordon City?"
As soon as you and Iron hand entered Gordon City, a flamboyantly dressed Fox Woman approached you. You took a closer look and saw she was a sizzling beauty. The Fox Woman caught you staring at the deep cleavage of her chest and couldn’t help but smirk coquettishly, swaying her body, which set off waves at her chest like giant waves crashing against the shore, overwhelming you.
"Stranger, would you like to sit down at my place, hmm?"
