The Little Thunder Tavern was filled with the strongest mercenary groups in Cloud Cloud City. Perhaps there were many mercenary groups that didn't show their strength before, but the competition this time was like a process of eliminating the weeds and preserving the essence. Regardless of whether these mercenary groups won or lost in the competition, in short, if there was anything special in the group or if there was any special expert, it would be reflected in the competition.
Taking the mercenary groups in the tavern as an example, there was no need to talk about Gongzi's Elite Group. Other than them, Silvermoon was naturally sitting here because of his "King's Command". Battle formation type skills were obviously indispensable in group battles, but this type of skill was said to only be possessed by advanced Paladins. Silvermoon now had it, so he immediately became a frontline player and was naturally sought after by the big guilds.
Other than him, the girls like Purple Crystal Mercenary Group actually didn't have much strength, but just the existence of Slender Waist Dance immediately made them worth inviting. Another example was Sakura Tsuzuka's mercenary group. Gu Fei later found out that it was called "Great Hunt", and the members were also from their guild. It was a special mercenary group that gathered expert trappers. All sorts of special mercenary groups had been invited by Unhindered Four Seas. As for the reason why Unhindered Four Seas hadn't shown up yet, everyone could only speculate in secret.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. After a few more mercenary groups arrived, Reigning Four Seas' Unsworn Sword, along with the two core members, Reflection of Years and Wind Star, arrived at the tavern.
Reigning Four Seas' number one position in Cloud Cloud City was unshakable. Guild leader Unsworn Sword's face was glowing, and he was full of energy when he walked in. For example, Mudo of the Cloud and Against the Current, these mercenary group leaders were actually guild leaders of big guilds in Cloud Cloud City. Everyone had been fighting openly and secretly ever since their guilds were established. Now that Reigning Four Seas was finally the strongest guild, it was inevitable for him to be in high spirits when he saw these people.
"Haha, Old Yun! Long time no see! "
"Ah, Against the Current, how have you been recently?"
Unsworn Sword's voice was deafening. Everyone in the room frowned. This kind of behavior that was a bit like a nouveau riche was looked down upon. They felt that it was a tragedy for all the players of Cloud Cloud City that such a person was actually leading the biggest guild in Cloud Cloud City.
Then, Unsworn Sword greeted the other mercenary groups one by one, but his attitude instantly became much more humble. Especially when he greeted the girls of Reigning Four Seas, his humility made everyone in the room want to vomit. Usually, the finale would be the main show. After Sword of Oathless finished greeting everyone, it was finally the Young Noble Elite Group's turn to greet everyone present. Even Imperial God Ming, who was originally an ordinary member of Unhindered Four Seas, was treated with the utmost respect. This was a treatment that other mercenary groups did not enjoy.
As the highlight of the highlight of the highlight, Gu Fei was left to the last. Sword Star of Reigning Re. Reaper of Sword Gu God was Gu Fei, Tower with him. Beside him, the faces of Feng Xing and the other two looked a bit uneasy as well. One was angry, while the other was confused. Unsworn Sword consoled him for a long time before finally saying, "You've brought glory to the players of Cloud Cloud City, I'm so proud!!!"
The people in the room finally couldn't take it anymore. One of them directly slammed the table and stood up. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open. "Wuzhou, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it. Look at your burning face!!! "
Unsworn Sword finally let go of Gu Fei, turned around, and laughed: "Haha, let's talk, let's talk!"
"This girl is so strong! Who is it? "Gu Fei was surprised. Even if everyone in the room was unhappy, to speak so directly was not giving them any face. This girl was really strong!
Brother You immediately came up and introduced, "This is the fourth place in the Mercenary Group Competition. Among the Seven Colored Clouds' leader, Gu Xiao Shang. She is also the leader of the third level guild, Among the Rosy Clouds. Before Slender Waist Dance came, she was probably the strongest girl in Cloud Cloud City. I heard that Unsworn Sword has been chasing after her for a long time!"
"Wow, Unsworn Sword's taste is so unique!" Wu Shang and Imperial Divine Ming exclaimed.
This Gu Xiao Shang's looks were above average, but she was too strong. If people didn't pay attention, they would think that she was a guy. This was different from June Rain. Because June Rain didn't care about her appearance, wore her equipment carelessly, and had a gender-neutral voice, she had been mistaken as a guy by Gu Fei. Ever since she changed into a warrior armor that was designed for women in Moonlit Night City, this kind of misunderstanding never happened again.
This Gu Xiao Shang, on the other hand, had a completely different temperament. Even if you knew she was a girl, you couldn't help but think, "Wow, this girl is so manly …"
It was this girl who shouted at Unsworn Sword. Unsworn Sword finally stopped his condolences and walked to the center of the tavern. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone here is an elite of the mercenary world in Cloud Cloud City. Today, I asked everyone to come here because I have a mission that I would like to ask everyone to cooperate with."
As soon as he said this, the room was filled with gasps of surprise.
Why? Everyone here was a mercenary group. No one had a better understanding of the various quests in the game than they did. Although these mercenary groups often had dozens of people, frankly speaking, with the current missions issued by the system, there was no one that required dozens of people to be mobilized.
And now that Reigning The Four Seas wanted to hire mercenaries to carry out a quest, it was obvious that this quest was not a private player dispute quest. With a mercenary group of 750 people, would they not be able to settle a private player dispute? Therefore, it could only be a system quest. A system quest that 750 people couldn't complete, and it actually required the help of a mercenary group. Moreover, it even required the help of all the experts in Cloud Cloud City. What kind of quest could be so difficult?
Unsworn Sword gave everyone enough time to gasp in surprise, mainly because he enjoyed the shock of the audience after the announcement. After everyone quieted down and looked at him, he continued, "This quest is the reward that Reigning The Four Seas obtained in the guild war. To be honest, this quest looks like a chain quest."
Another uproar.
All along, players had thought that the high rewards for solo quests were chain quests. The more difficult form of guild quests were two-way quests. No one had ever heard of guild quests being linked to a chain quest.
The Gongzi Elite Group members all looked at Gu Fei. Chain quests had been a legend for a long time, but Gu Fei was probably the only one who had ever completed one.
It wasn't to say that everyone else was unlucky enough to encounter one, but if they did encounter one, they would fail half of the quest, and there were also those who couldn't continue halfway through the quest. In any case, the only one they knew of was Gu Fei.
Unsworn Sword enjoyed everyone's surprise once again, and continued, "The content of this quest is very simple. It's to escort an item!"
"Escort an item?" Everyone was startled. This word was full of Wuxia meaning, but thrown into this western fantasy style game, it was a bit of a mouthful.
"That's what it means." Unsworn Sword said, "Escort the item to the destination. From the route shown by the quest, we have to pass through five main cities, and a one-way trip would probably take dozens of hours. Since we're escorting an item, I'm sure we'll encounter many robberies along the way. "
Everyone listened and understood. Someone couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, then the difficulty of the battles along the way is unknown. Are you sure that your 750 people can't handle it, and need help from a mercenary group?"
Unsworn Sword looked at this person and said solemnly, "Because there are special rules. Guild members only have one chance to survive during this quest. In other words, if you die, you'll immediately fail the quest and lose the quest reward. "
"Uh …" While everyone was still thinking about the details of this rule, Unsworn Sword had already explained another rule, "Also, during the process of the quest, guild members can't change the main city's record point. Everyone should understand what this means, right? "
Without waiting for the others to answer, Unsworn Sword explained himself, "This means that in the early stages, even if the guild members are sacrificed, they can continue to join the battle and help us. But when we're already a few hours away, the sacrificed guild members will all be resurrected in Cloud City, and they will no longer be able to help us."
"So, you want to hire some outsiders to help. Because we're not restricted by the rules, we can also set up a record point in the nearest main city even if we're a few hours away. After we die, we can also resurrect nearby and continue to help you, right?" someone suddenly said coldly.
Unsworn Sword said faintly, "Everyone here is an expert. Of course, it won't be as easy to die as the ordinary members of our guild. However, compared to our members who can't continue to help if they die, this advantage of yours is indeed what we need. So, you can feel free to mention the quest reward, and you can also sit down and slowly discuss the compensation for the sacrifice during the quest. Other than that … "Unsworn Sword paused intentionally, then continued," All the equipment and items dropped during the battle along the way will be fully shared. How about it? "
This condition was indeed very generous. According to the usual rules of mercenary missions, the equipment dropped by helping the employer to kill monsters and so on would belong to the employer. Even if there was a prior agreement, it would probably only be a drop in the ocean. On the other hand, Sword of Unsworn suggested full sharing. In other words, the loot would belong to whoever obtained it. The players all had their own thoughts at this time, and the Little Thunder Tavern was quiet.
Unsworn Sword had a victorious smile on his face. "That's the gist of the matter. Everyone, come down and think about it. Send me a message when you're done. If there's anything you don't understand, or if there's any request, just tell me. Then, we'll take our leave first. "
After saying this, Unsworn Sword left with Wind Star and Time Reflected. The players who stayed in the Little Thunder Tavern were all pondering the same question: To do or not to do it.

[Butterfly Knot: To do or not to do it, this is the question. Which is more beneficial? To endure working for the nouveau riche Unsworn Sword, or to ignore the temptation of living in the clouds …]
