Reader/Protagonist: I'll take this task.
Windwhisper Town was one of the towns close to the Elven Forest. A large number of adventurers gathered here to explore the Elven Forest and the Gnome Ruins. There was an endless stream of travelers coming and going. The most lively place was the branch set up by the Mercenary Guild here.
The receptionist, Annie, was playing with her nails in boredom. Today's Mercenary Trade Union was much colder than usual. Recently, there seemed to be a major change in the depths of the Elf Forest. Countless magical beasts ran out and even caused some small beast tides. On the night of one week ago, many people witnessed the fire in the depths of the Elf Forest and the huge shockwave. That was an impact that could only be produced by the self-destruction of a Martial God or a Magic God. Even though the shockwave had weakened a lot, it still made countless people feel fear.
The Elven Forest is inhabited by the elves. This beautiful race is not to be trifled with. They have at least three War God level powerhouses. This is the consensus of the Chaos Continent. Judging from the situation that day, the elves seemed to be in some kind of situation. Now that the task board is full of tasks related to the Elven Forest, almost all the mercenaries have gone to explore the Elven Forest. Some people said that they saw traces of forbidden spells, some said that they saw an empty Elven Kingdom, and some even said that they saw a dragon.
When Annie first heard this news, she was immediately amused, but then she felt very confused. Four years ago, when the legendary demons appeared, everyone knew that the Lost Land was actually a "passage" connecting the two sides of the continent. Although the Temple of Light has repeatedly called for a common defense against the evil demons, when people really came into contact with them, they realized how terrible this race is. Their bodies are born to fight and destroy, and each demon is at least at the level of a Great Swordsman. The most terrible is the Thunder Legion. The demons there are at least Sword Saints – it should be known that the entire human race only has 100 Sword Saints. The demons took away 1/5 of the continent's land. If they hadn't taken the initiative to stop their invasion, the entire Chaos Continent would have fallen. Now that even the elves are in trouble, Annie only feels that the world is getting more and more chaotic, and her intuition tells her that this is far from the end.
"Tap, tap."
Annie froze for a moment before she realized that someone was knocking on the table to wake her up. There were two people opposite her: a black-haired youth and a silver-haired … elf?
Du Ze calmly watched as the receptionist stared at Xiu. He was used to it. With such a calamitous beauty by his side, wouldn't he receive a lot of attention along the way?
Du Ze knocked on the table again, and Annie came back to her senses. She blushed, not that she was making a fuss. She had received many elven mercenaries, but none of them were so beautiful that she lost her ability to think.
Annie put on a smile and tried to hide her previous gaffe. "Hello, do you need anything?"
"Registered mercenary."
"Alright, please wait a moment." Annie took out a form from the drawer. "Please show me your warrior badges."
Du Ze was stunned. He had forgotten about this detail. Although the threshold to become a mercenary was very low, at the very least, one needed to be strong. The Warrior Badge was the proof that distinguished a Warrior from a commoner. At the same time, it was also a proof of a Profession's rank. Putting aside Du Ze, who was an Earthling, Xiu's warrior badge was also left in the Magic and Force Academy, and its whereabouts were unknown.
Seeing Du Ze's reaction, Annie roughly understood the situation.
"We can apply for a Warrior Badge here, but only at the primary level. If you want to upgrade, you can only go to the relevant professional union." Annie pointed to a door in the mercenary union: "After you pay a silver coin, you can go there to undergo a combat assessment. If you meet the standard, you can get a Warrior Badge."
What assessment? Is this young man's combat power negative five …
Du Ze cried in his heart. Becoming a mercenary was very convenient. You could freely enter and leave some countries and cities, and you could also use the magic transmission array. From the original text of "Mixed Blood," Du Ze learned that the gold mercenary squad was currently in the Star Empire. If he didn't have a mercenary card, even if he didn't use the magic transmission array to get to the Star Empire, how could he cross the border?
A hand reached out and placed the silver coins on the counter. It was the silent Xiu. Annie stared at the two silver coins for a moment before she realized that the other party was going to conduct a warrior assessment. She called a teenager over: "Ron, take these two gentlemen to test their strength."
"Alright!" The teenager called Ron ran over. When he saw Xiu, he couldn't speak properly: "Please, please, please come with me."
Inside the test room. There was nothing in the empty room except for a human-shaped target. Ron pointed at it and stammered: "Attack, attack, turn red and you pass."
Du Ze looked at Xiu and found that he had no intention of making the first move. Some silly, cute person walked around the target and reached out to touch the texture. Very good. He could already see the result of his right hand breaking.
This time it's you, Fat Chirp!
"Chirp? Chirp ~ "The small Phoenix excitedly spread its wings, opened its sharp beak, and sprayed a small flame at the target. The attack was over.
Du Ze silently looked at the black hair floating down. Once again, he began to fight with the small Phoenix.
If you can't destroy the target, then what use do I have for you!
At this time, Xiu stretched out his hand, grabbed Du Ze's right hand, and pressed it against the human-shaped target.
"Boom!"
Ron looked at the human-shaped target that was smashed to pieces in horror. That was a prop specially used to test strength and could withstand a full blow from a Great Swordsman. How could it, how could it be destroyed so easily? Is this slender and beautiful silver-haired elf a Sword Saint …?
Under Ron's incredulous gaze, Xiu gently turned his head and said in a cold voice: "Did we all pass?"
Under that cold gaze, Ron nodded fiercely. He felt that if he had the slightest objection, he would end up just like the human-shaped target.
"I, I'll go get you the warrior badge!"
Du Ze watched as the teenager fled for his life. His current mood can be summarized as: A good student who could pass with full marks beat the invigilator for him. At this moment, the invigilator was sobbing and spitting out the answers to the test paper.
Moe Lord, you're too domineering …
Xiu calmly took the warrior badge from Ron's trembling hand. The silver-blue and black badge had six red stripes, which meant that the person holding the badge was at the level of a Great Swordsman. In "Mixed Blood," low-level people can't specifically perceive the strength of high-level people. High-level people can hide their strength from low-level people and can even suppress their own strength to make low-level people feel that they are mistaken. So in the human race, a person's strength is usually judged by their warrior badge. For many people, the warrior badge is a manifestation of their strength. As long as they advance, they will go to a professional guild to upgrade their badge. This creates the conditions for the Moe Lord to play the pig to eat the tiger. Xiu has not been promoted since he applied for the primary warrior badge. So later in the Star Empire's plot, a second generation official looked at Xiu's primary warrior badge and proposed a duel to the death. At the end of the chapter, the second generation official was still thinking about how to beat the [important line] Moe Lord who is only at the level of a Great Swordsman. The readers sighed, "Please allow me to make a sad expression and smile."
When Du Ze and Xiu showed Annie their warrior badges, the receptionist quickly took care of everything. She handed over the new mercenary cards.
"This is your mercenary card, please keep it." Annie pointed to the Mercenary Guild's bulletin board that was constantly refreshed with magic. "That is the task board. You are now E-level mercenaries, so you can only take E-level tasks or unranked tasks."
Du Ze curiously looked at the task board. At a glance, he saw the "Explore the Gnome Ruins" task at the top. The tasks below were almost all related to the Elven Forest. Du Ze's eyes suddenly froze. He saw a "Crusade against the demons" task … Demons?
Has the demon race appeared on the mainland?!
Du Ze thought of the metal pyramid he opened and subconsciously looked at Xiu, only to find that Xiu was staring unblinkingly at a certain point. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, exuding a bone-chilling coldness. Du Ze followed Xiu's gaze and looked at the task board. When he saw the task, he could only sigh: Plot God, you are too hardworking. You are simply the conscience of the industry.
In the original "Mixed Blood" novel, when Xiu came out of the Gate of Wisdom, the enemy mercenary squad had already left. They left a message: If Xiu can see this message, go to the Star Empire and find them. At that time, Xiu had awakened four races. He transformed back into his elf form and left the Gnome Ruins. Xiu handed in a task at the Mercenary Guild and raised his mercenary rank to A-level. He wanted to go to the Star Empire according to the message, but this time, a task poked his G-spot.
Just like now.
[Search for ice crystal grass: Unranked task. Go together to the land of extreme cold to find ice crystal grass. The reward can be discussed in person. Client: Eddie.]
The content is not the point, the point is the client – Eddie, Rose, do you remember the Moe Lord you abandoned?
Back then, this young man used a screen full of blood to witness the Moe Lord being abandoned by everyone, including his two childhood friends – Eddie and Rose. They came from the same orphanage as Xiu and were admitted to the Magic Martial Arts School together. However, when Xiu was arrested and tortured by the Temple of Light, Eddie and Rose not only did not testify for their childhood friends, but they were also afraid of being implicated because they came from the same orphanage as Xiu. When the undead Xiu waited in the graveyard for the Temple of Light instead of a cute girl, Du Ze's heart was broken.
Damn, you should have supported the Moe Lord spiritually. Otherwise, how could Xiu become like that?!
Annie saw Xiu staring at the "Search for ice crystal grass" task on the bulletin board. She kindly reminded him: "I suggest you don't take this task. Although it is unranked, it is at least an A-level mercenary group. This mission has been put up for quite a while, and I almost know the person who commissioned it. He's also a mercenary. His companion was poisoned by a Black Fire Lizard during a previous mission, and he needed to use Ice Crystal Grass to cure it. " Annie sighed: "Although it is very pitiful, the environment in the Arctic is very bad. There are powerful magical beasts around the ice crystal grass. Only an A-level mercenary group can deal with them, and he can't afford to hire an A-level mercenary group."
As in the original plot, Rose was poisoned and Eddie recruited a mercenary group to pick ice crystal grass. Du Ze looked at the silver-haired elf's cold face. In order to retaliate against Eddie and Rose, Xiu should accept this task like in the original plot.
Xiu noticed Du Ze's gaze. He picked up his mercenary card and put it away.
Eh?
Du Ze couldn't believe it. "You don't want to take that task?"
Xiu gently stroked the back of Du Ze's neck. His face was still cold, but when he looked at Du Ze, his green eyes revealed a trace of warmth.
"You want to go to the Star Empire."
– That's why it doesn't matter.
Du Ze's heart suddenly tightened. He felt a lack of oxygen and dizziness. His thoughts exploded in his head.
Moe Lord, you can't be like this. If this goes on, this young man won't be able to hold on …
Some silly, cute person pressed his headphones to cover his burning ears. His eyes wandered and his voice was strange as if he was speaking to another person.
"You, you don't want to see them?"
The silver-haired elf was silent. His whole person looked like a volcano covered in ice and snow, cold and depressing. Seeing Xiu like this, Du Ze put his mercenary card in front of Annie and said to her: "I'll take this task."
Annie wanted to persuade him, but she found that she could not intervene in their world. The two people in front of her only had eyes for each other.
"You said," Du Ze said seriously, facing Xiu's startled eyes, "that you will take me to see your 'good friend'."
In the Lost Land, there was a Lich who said to the only person who accompanied him: When we get out of here, I will take you to see my 'good friend'.
– A very good 'friend'.

[Find ice crystal grass: No level task. Go together to the land of extreme cold to find ice crystal grass. Reward can be discussed in person. Client: Edie.]
Xiu's eyes widened as he stared at the client's position.
Edie?
– Rose and I are innocent, we don't know anything.
– We have nothing to do with him.
– We are more afraid, okay! There is an undead who is always by our side!
"… This task, I'll take it."
The receptionist saw the task and wanted to remind Xiu, but the moment she saw Xiu, her whole body froze.
It was like a demon crawling out of the abyss for revenge. The receptionist was so sure of it.
