The Western Mystery City was located in the northwest of the Light Wind Empire. It was an old city with a long history and had survived through many dynasties.
This ancient city, which resembled an old man in his twilight years, was situated on the boundless Northwest Great Plains. It was the largest city in the western part of the Light Wind Empire. It was the military stronghold that connected the Northwest Great Plains to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Outside the Western Mystery City, on the ancient road that was filled with yellow sand, a strong wind howled, causing the already flying yellow sand to undulate even more.
When the howling wind stopped, two figures slowly walked out from the yellow sand. One of them had a pair of red eyes that emitted an awe-inspiring aura.
"Cough, cough..."
Bu Fang covered his mouth and nose with one hand, while his other hand was constantly waving, trying to disperse the dust in front of him and the yellow sand that made him choke.
"The environment here is really bad," Bu Fang thought with a frown.
After walking for a while, the surrounding yellow sand finally stopped. Xiao Bai's clone followed closely behind him, its red eyes flashing.
Bu Fang patted Whitey's stomach, then raised his head and looked at the majestic city in the distance, which exuded a grand and ancient aura. It was a city that made his breathing a little heavy, not because of anything else, but because of the awe-inspiring pressure that came from this city with a long history.
That was the Western Mystery City. Bu Fang's eyes flickered slightly. This was the purpose of his trip. He wanted to join the army of the Western Mystery City and become a military chef, also known as a cook.
A man and a machine walked straight on the vast plains. After walking for a while, they arrived in front of the city. The city gate was extremely huge, almost the same size as the gate of the Imperial City. It was majestic and majestic, and there were many soldiers guarding the gate.
These soldiers were different from the soldiers of the Imperial City, at least in terms of spirit, energy, and spirit. There was a sharpness in their eyes that the soldiers of the Imperial City did not have, and a sense of fierceness that even Bu Fang could not describe.
Perhaps it was because the people of the Northwest were more valiant, so the soldiers trained there naturally had a sense of valiance.
Covered in dust, Bu Fang's face was also covered in dirt. He led Xiao Bai into the Western Mystery City along with the other travel-worn citizens.
After entering the city, Bu Fang first experienced the local conditions and customs of Western Mystery City. He found an inn. After all, he was not familiar with the people and the place, so it was impossible for him to directly charge into the enemy's army and ask them to accept him as a cook.
Bu Fang had been strolling in Western Mystery City for about a day and a half, and he had tasted many of the delicacies of the northwestern cities. The food here was simple and plain, not as luxurious as the ones in Southern City.
Most of them were noodle dishes, but there were also those simple and unpretentious barbecued meat. Bu Fang tasted all of them, and it was a different kind of taste.
However, he didn't encounter any delicious dishes that could be recorded in his recipe notebook, which was a little regretful. Bu Fang also knew that there might be many authentic delicacies that he hadn't tasted yet.
However, he didn't have time to taste them one by one. He had to quickly find an army to join.
Inside a bustling restaurant, Bu Fang sat at a table by the window, savoring the delicacies of the Northwest while admiring the beautiful scenery of Western Mystery City.
The security of Western Mystery City was very good. Soldiers holding long spears could be seen marching in an orderly manner inside the city.
After calling for the waiter, Bu Fang took out a gold coin and handed it to the boorish-looking waiter who had a lame leg.
"Sir … this is too much." The boorish-looking man immediately looked at Bu Fang with some doubt. A gold coin for a meal … This Xiao Bai in front of him looked like a nouveau riche.
"No, after deducting the cost of the meal, consider the rest of the money as payment for my hard work in asking you questions," Bu Fang said lightly.
The waiter's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Bu Fang, patted his chest, and said, "You're straightforward. Dear customer, please tell me. This lowly one will definitely answer you without missing a single word."
Bu Fang pondered for a while, glanced at the waiter, and slowly said, "How many armies are there in Western Mystery City?"
The waiter was stunned when he heard Bu Fang's question. He frowned and looked at Bu Fang, saying, "Sir, there is only one army in our Western Mystery City. That is the Western Mystery Army that all the men in the Northwest yearn for!"
"Hmm? All the men in the Northwest yearn for it? Is the Western Mystery Army as powerful as you say? "
"To tell you the truth, I used to be a soldier in the Western Mystery Army. However, my leg was crippled in a battle, so I left the army and came to this restaurant to work as a waiter," the waiter said and patted his crippled leg regretfully.
"If my leg wasn't crippled, I would definitely not leave the army until my last drop of blood was shed for the Western Mystery Army! I heard that the empire is in chaos again, and the war has started again … I don't know how many of my brothers will die on the battlefield. "
The waiter's expression was a little regretful and lonely.
Bu Fang was silent. He didn't know much about these things, but since the waiter was a soldier from the battlefield, it was normal for him to have such sentiments.
The Western Mystery Army … It sounded very powerful.
"Can you introduce me to the Western Mystery Army?" Bu Fang asked.
"Why not? The Western Mystery Army is the most famous in our Western Mystery City because it is the main force that protects our Western Mystery City." The waiter said, "Due to the unique geographical location of the Western Mystery City, the Western Mystery City will encounter all kinds of disasters every year. Sometimes, the spirit beasts that escape from the Hundred Thousand Mountains threaten the Western Mystery City. The Western Mystery Army has to deal with these problems. Every time these beasts go berserk, they are killed by the Western Mystery Army. They can't threaten the people of our Western Mystery City."
"Moreover, the Western Mystery City's Great General, who is the eldest son of the Western Mystery City's City Lord, General Kong Xuan, has an amazing cultivation level. It is said that he recently broke through to the Battle-Saint Realm and became the number one expert in the Western Mystery City. With him at the helm, the Western Mystery City is even more invincible!"
"It's not that I'm bragging, but even if the empire's army encounters the Western Mystery Army, the Western Mystery Army won't be the slightest bit inferior!"
The waiter said a lot. Obviously, he knew the Western Mystery Army very well and was very proud of the Western Mystery Army. He often patted his chest unconsciously as he spoke.
Bu Fang listened attentively and nodded his head from time to time.
"Then the last question …" Bu Fang paused for a moment, then looked at the waiter and continued to ask, "If I want to join the Western Mystery Army … do you know any way to do so?"
"Ah? Dear customer, you want to join the Western Mystery Army? "
The burly man in front of him suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Bu Fang in astonishment. This Xiao Bai's face … His skin was soft and tender, and he was obviously from a wealthy family. Why would he want to join the Western Mystery Army?
Bu Fang smacked his lips, took out another gold coin, and handed it to the burly man. He said, "Of course I want to join the army to train myself and make myself stronger."
Seeing that it was another gold coin, the burly man's eyes suddenly lit up. He quietly put it away, then patted his chest and promised, "Dear customer, since you trust me so much, let's not be polite. It's not difficult to join the Western Mystery Army. Now that the war has started, the conscription has been going on. However, it's not easy to join the Western Mystery Army. How about this? I'm familiar with the people in the army, so I'll take you there tomorrow. I'll tell them to take care of you, hehe."
Bu Fang was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up and he nodded his head.
The waiter touched his head honestly, then dragged his lame leg and left step by step.
The next day, Bu Fang went to the restaurant again. The waiter was already waiting for him at the entrance.
"Young master, let's go. I've already asked the innkeeper for half a day's rest. I'll take you there now. Oh, you can call me Er Niu," the burly man said with a smile.
Bu Fang nodded his head and followed behind Er Niu. The two of them walked toward a certain location in the Western Mystery City.
The Western Mystery City was very big. However, according to Er Niu, the location of the conscription office was not far from where they were. Hence, they continued to walk. After about an hour, they finally arrived at the location Er Niu mentioned.
The conscription office was very big. It was set up in front of a mansion, and there was a long queue in front of the door.
"Young master, do you see it? These people are all planning to join the Western Mystery Army. However, more than ninety percent of them will be assigned to other small military camps. It's still difficult for them to join the Western Mystery Army. I'll go and ask, but I don't have much confidence, "Er Niu said solemnly.
Then, Er Niu dragged his lame leg and walked toward the group of soldiers. Bu Fang observed Er Niu's movements and realized that he was really familiar with the people there. He was talking to an armored soldier.
After a while, Er Niu brought the soldier over.
The soldier was somewhat arrogant. He held his head high and clasped his hands behind his back. Er Niu followed beside him with a face full of smiles.
"Chief Liu, this is the young man I told you about. He wants to join the Western Mystery Army. What do you think?"
"Wants to join the Western Mystery Army? Who doesn't want to join the Western Mystery Army? Why should I open the back door for him? " Chief Liu said as he glanced at Bu Fang with a strange puppet following behind him. He noticed Er Niu's soft and tender skin.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows. What was going on?
"Lad … You want to join the Western Mystery Army, right? Of course you can … However, shouldn't you at least give me something? "Chief Liu sneered.
Er Niu immediately glared at him. He had already given Bu Fang a gold coin when he tried to establish a relationship with Bu Fang.
Bu Fang glanced at Er Niu's expression and understood what was going on. It seemed like the man in front of him thought he was a sucker and wanted to rip him off. Once he got the money, it would be another matter whether he would do anything for him or not.
However, Bu Fang couldn't be bothered with him. He said calmly, "Make the arrangements for me first. Money is not a problem."
Bu Fang took out a few more gold coins from his bosom and tossed them in his hand. The shiny gold coins made a clattering sound and dazzled Er Niu and Chief Liu's eyes.
Chief Liu's eyes immediately lit up and the smile on his face became even wider.
He reached out his hand to grab the gold coins, but how could he win against Bu Fang?
"Well said, well said. If you want to join the Western Mystery Army, look for me, Chief Liu, the most reliable person! Er Niu, you can go back first. This young master, please come with me. " Chief Liu coughed and clasped his hands behind his back as he spoke to Er Niu. Then, he led Bu Fang into the mansion.
Er Niu didn't suspect anything. He and Chief Liu were comrades in arms. Even though Chief Liu was greedy, they were still comrades. He would probably arrange a position for his young master.
Hence, he bid farewell to Bu Fang and left the mansion with his crippled leg.
However, he didn't know that when Chief Liu turned his head, his eyes narrowed and a sneer emerged on his face.
