A group of hunters were training with combat knives.
The shiny blades shone brightly under the sun. They held the hilt tightly and swung it. The blades tore through the air, and the whistling sound echoed throughout the training ground.
"Our hunters are equipped with rune combat knives, and this …" The Second Battalion Commander walked to the area where the weapons and equipment were placed and lifted the cover cloth on the shelf, revealing the dark muzzle below.
"My favorite 160mm mortar. This has been modified to shoot special rune shells. Needless to say, its power is amazing. If one shot can't solve the problem, it's just a matter of adding another shot."
The Hengcheng's leader was full of envy and said sincerely, "Your rune weapons are really powerful. We still can't find a way to integrate runes into equipment. You're really worthy of being called Academician Sun."
The Second Battalion Commander's mouth rose, "This time you can bring back some rune samples. You'll soon be able to study the manufacturing method of rune equipment."
He couldn't help but feel proud.
Hengcheng's strength was stronger than Lindong. That's why Hengcheng sent a convoy to Lindong for an exchange. There was no competition between the two sides. However, Hengcheng's army had a lot more advanced hunters than Lindong's army.
The Second Battalion Commander was very depressed. He felt a bit inferior. Fortunately, in terms of equipment, they were far ahead of Hengcheng.
'Hey, wait, rune equipment. It seems that the progress of the Academy of Sciences was also stuck. Later, because of that … yes, the Demon Slayer Longsword, they developed the Lindong version of rune equipment.'
He pondered. It seemed that if they didn't happen to get the Demon Slayer Longsword, their research progress on rune equipment wouldn't be much faster than Hengcheng.
All of a sudden, the Second Battalion Commander was depressed again.
He decided to stop thinking about it and led the Hengcheng people to visit the barracks while exchanging combat experience.
"Why don't we hold a simple exchange meeting to let everyone exchange their experience in dealing with demonic beasts? Just looking at the information can't compare to the soldiers' personal experience."
The Hengcheng's leader made a suggestion.
The second battalion commander thought about it and nodded. "This is a good suggestion, especially for ability users. Communicating with each other might even be able to develop new ways of using abilities."
"Since it's an exchange of aptitude users, it doesn't have to be limited to our military aptitude users. There are also many civilian aptitude users. Although their strength may not be as good as ours, their ability to develop and use their abilities is not that much worse. Why don't I recruit some of the aptitude users from this convoy as well?"
"Sounds good. I'll also call some famous aptitude users from Lindong."
He was a straightforward person and immediately ordered his subordinates to handle this matter.
Both sides could benefit from the exchange of abilities, and the way the Second Battalion Commander saw it, those ability users should be eager to come here.
Sure enough, those people didn't make him wait long. Ten minutes later, the soldiers he sent out had already brought back those ability users.
However, when he saw the number of people, the Second Battalion Commander was stunned. "Why are there so few people?"
With his status, he can read the mercenaries' information and know how many ability users there are in Lindong.
But less than one-fifth of the people were present. "Don't tell me they haven't returned to the shelter in the wilderness?"
He looked at the sky. The setting sun tilted to the end of the horizon, leaving only a little orange afterglow shrouding the earth.
Judging from the time, most of the mercenaries who went out should have returned to the shelter by now.
The soldier saluted, "Battalion Commander, most of the mercenaries have returned to the shelter, but many of the top teams of mercenaries are nowhere to be found. I asked the person in charge of the mission center. Those people seemed to have returned to the shelter and left in a hurry. They said if they were slow, they wouldn't be able to grab it."
"Oh, by the way, most of the mercenaries who left in a hurry were hunters who escaped from the secret realm."
The soldier's tone was confused.
The Second Battalion Commander: "…"
Although he didn't know what happened, he had a feeling that someone had intercepted him.
Inexplicably uncomfortable!
… …..
Tang Yu walked out of the spiritual space with a refreshed mind.
He still didn't know the advertisement he planted in the secret realm was gradually taking effect.
The Lindong mercenaries wanted to keep this opportunity to buy the Demon Slayer Longsword. But mercenaries were mercenaries after all. Who didn't have a few big mouths?
"Zhang Laosan, let me tell you a secret. This is for the sake of our friendship. Don't tell anyone else …"
"Li Laosan, I heard a secret. If it weren't for the fact that we grew up together, I wouldn't have told you this secret …"
Not everyone in Lindong knew about it. But in that specific circle, many people knew about the Tree Shade Shelter and the real seller of the Demon Slayer Longsword.
These mercenaries also added fuel to the fire, promoting the terrifying strength that Tang Yu and the others showed in the secret realm.
No one doubted it. After all, these words came from the mouths of the top squads and even the members of the four major mercenary regiments. Some of the hunters with outstanding strength rushed to the Tree Shade Shelter overnight without rest.
After experiencing a surge in strength, the feeling of mowing the grass in the spiritual space was unparalleled.
Tang Yu didn't know that in reality, there was also a large wave of leeks yearning for the scythe's mercy.
… …
… …
After dinner, Tang Yu brought Elaine to the tavern.
"My Lord, why are we here?"
She had a deep impression of this place. The first thing she saw when she came to this world was this quaint tavern and the Lord standing in the tavern.
He smiled and handed her a bottle of wine.
She would never forget that scene for the rest of her life.
"Come on, let's go to the second floor. You'll know when we get there."
Elaine, wearing a beige dress, followed Tang Yu on the stairs.
As soon as they reached the second floor, they saw the five lifelike statues at the end.
Tang Yu was about to open his mouth and tell Elaine about the mage's inheritance.
But he saw the girl suddenly froze.
Her eyes were fixed on the statue of the mage, and she slowly walked forward step by step.
Not only Elaine, but the mage statue also seemed to resonate, as if it had been silent for a long time and couldn't wait to wake up.
Tang Yu hurriedly opened the inheritance system.
In an instant.
The bright light dispelled the night, and the surroundings were as bright as day.
The mage statue seemed to come alive, and the shadow of the frost mage appeared behind it. It was far more solid than the Demon Swordsman shadow that appeared before.
Even the pair of pupils in the shadow seemed to cross the river of time and projected into the tavern.
A pale blue light beam shrouded Elaine.
The inheritance began.
Her eyes were closed, her pale blue hair fluttered, and her skirt fluttered, quiet and elegant. Under Tang Yu's gaze, her body slowly floated up, as if defying gravity, and floated to the same height as the shadow.
Elaine's aura was completely released. Seventh Awakening Stage, Eighth Awakening Stage, Ninth Awakening Stage … until the peak of the Ninth Awakening Stage, stuck at the second bottleneck of the Awakening Stage.
Tang Yu's mouth opened wide.
Receiving the inheritance could improve her strength? This … why didn't he get it at all???
The white light on the mage statue gradually dimmed. Tang Yu thought the inheritance of the frost mage was about to end. However, the pale blue light beam became brighter and brighter, shrinking into an ellipsoid shape, wrapping Elaine in it.
Peng.
A soft sound like a mosquito whispering.
The beige dress on Elaine's body and the plain white sneakers on her feet shattered into light spots in the blink of an eye.
Tang Yu's eyes widened.
The holy light faded, and Elaine's appearance had completely changed.
She wore a gorgeous ice blue dress, and on her feet were crystal shoes shining with bright purple-blue brilliance. A pair of patterned earrings inlaid with blue crystals took shape beside her ears.
On her head was a mysterious inscription headband, and in her hand was an ice crystal staff similar to her height.
This scene was like a dream.
Not only this scene, but also Elaine, who was shrouded in the center of the light cluster.
Tang Yu's mouth opened wide for a long time.
