After staying under the tree for a night, the two of them found a small river and cleaned themselves up before dawn.
Lu Chen changed into a red outfit. The Balrog glanced at him. "So coquettish?"
"I can't."
"Fine, fine, fine. As long as you're happy. But don't wear the outfit. They'll definitely look at your equipment. If you wear the outfit, you won't be able to see your equipment. "
Lu Chen looked at the Balrog. This guy's equipment was quite luxurious. There were all kinds of colors. They should all be of the Immortal level.
No wonder this guy was so strong. He could seriously injure the Great Generals of the human race!
"That's right. They'll definitely look at the equipment of mercenaries. Okay, I got it."
…
The recruitment market was already full of mercenaries.
The other mercenaries were in groups of tens or hundreds of people. No matter what race they were, they were all well-equipped. There were specialists to bargain with the veiled or masked employers.
The Balrog looked at the guy beside him with a hopeless expression. This guy was wearing a beginner's short-sleeved shirt, big pants, and only a pair of combat boots.
"Big brother, I told you not to wear the outfit. Do you have to strip like this? Look, is there anyone looking for us? "
"I only have this one equipment. I don't usually show my sword."
"Forget it, forget it. You should put on the clothes. Standing next to you, I feel like I'm a pimp."
Lu Chen put on his "Wild Blood Sword God" outfit again.
"Old Flame, no matter how good your equipment is, we can't fight now. Can we get missions?" Lu Chen shook his head.
"Who said we have to fight? There are many missions here. Wait patiently. I don't want to sleep on the ground again."
While the two of them were chatting, a large group of employers came and went. However, when they saw that the two of them were weak and pale, it was obvious that they were injured, they didn't even give them a second glance and walked past them.
After standing on the street for more than two hours, two people finally looked over. They lowered their heads and talked for a while before walking over.
Although they were wearing veils, they seemed to be elves. As for whether they were Dark Night, Nature, or Elemental, it was hard to tell.
Even the translation software no longer showed the race of the other party after entering Mercenary City.
"Are you from the Demon Race?" One of the female elves asked. Her voice was quite pleasant.
"Yes!" The Flame Demon crossed his arms and said arrogantly.
"Hmm, it's rare for a demon to be a mercenary! As for equipment … Fire Rune Breastplate, Demonic Sky Battle Boots, Hell's Judgement Twin Blades … A full set of Immortal Equipment! However, do you have any physical injuries? "
"Yes, 87% now."
"Isn't that the same as being crippled?"
"I don't do fights," the Balrog said decisively.
Lu Chen shook his head. Was the Flame Demon really here to be a mercenary? Why was he even more arrogant than a buyer?
"Well, we don't need you to fight, but if the matter is exposed, you might be in danger. Do you accept?"
"What commission?"
"You should know what race we are, right?"
"I don't know. I don't want to know." The Balrog said calmly, "The rule of mercenaries is to work for money and not ask about anything else."
The two women looked at each other and nodded slightly. "You're not stupid."
"How about this? Our commission is very simple. We need you to pretend to be a representative of the Demon Race and meet some people to get what we need. After the matter is done, we can heal your physical injuries or give you 100 spirit stones. Choose one of the two! "
"However, if you are exposed, you should know the consequences. With your current state, it will be difficult for you to protect yourself."
The Flame Demon frowned and thought for a moment. "I can accept the commission, but I have a condition. Bring him along!"
The two Night Elf women looked at Lu Chen. He was wearing a red outfit, but they couldn't see any equipment. Most importantly, he was a human.
"Human? We don't need humans. If you want to bring him along, you can, but we won't pay extra. "
Lu Chen was very depressed. It seemed that the human race was still the lowest race among the nine camps. No one even wanted him as a mercenary.
For missions from the same camp, they would rather choose half-beastmen, nature elves, and dwarves before considering the human race.
The starting point of the human race was too low.
"Alright, I accept the commission. I will bring him along."
"Mm, as usual, this is 30 spirit stones in advance. Of course, if you choose to pay us to heal your injuries, you better not spend these 30 spirit stones. You will have to pay us back in the end. Now, I will give you an hour to prepare and come to the north of the city to find us. "
The night elves left the 30 spirit stones and left. The Flame Demon took the money and handed it to Lu Chen. "Old Kuang, let's go and buy some herbs first."
Lu Chen said, "If we use spirit stones to buy herbs, how much would it cost to heal your injuries?"
"If we buy pills directly, it would cost about 500. If we buy herbs to refine pills, the materials and the payment to the alchemist would be about 200."
Lu Chen frowned. "The difference between the two payments is at least double. They obviously want you to choose the latter. I think there is a problem. They probably don't want to pay you."
The Flame Demon nodded. "Yes. If I'm not wrong, they might kill us in the end."
"So you thought of it too. Then why are you dragging me along?" Lu Chen stared at the Flame Demon.
"If I don't bring you along, wouldn't I be dead?"
"You … you are really my good brother!"
The Flame Demon was completely different in front of Lu Chen. In front of others, he was always cold and aloof. Perhaps it was because of the nobility of his race, even if he was reduced to a disabled mercenary, he was still superior.
But in front of LuChen, this guy smiled mischievously.
"Can I not take it? Otherwise, the two of us will starve to death here. Do you think 100 spirit stones is easy to earn? Ordinary missions give a maximum of 10 spirit stones. Our mission reward is ten times more than others! "
Lu Chen thought about it. It seemed to be true. It was impossible for the two of them to accept ordinary missions. They could only accept this kind of strange mission.
"Then after the mission is completed, what about the 70 spirit stones?"
"According to the rules, the remaining 70 spirit stones will be temporarily kept in Mercenary City. When we carry out the mission, we will pretend that we don't know their plan. After the mission is completed and they confirm that the mission is completed, they will mention the matter of healing. We will refuse it no matter what. If they use force, we will escape! As long as we can run back, we can get the remaining 70 spirit stones. "
The Flame Demon put his hand on Lu Chen's shoulder. "Hehe, last time when we met the Heaven Domain Boss, I saw your strength. I have never seen a second person who could escape from the Heaven Domain Boss. So use these 30 spirit stones first. Don't you have Miss Green? The cost of recovery is much lower than others. See how much you can recover. "
Lu Chen nodded. In the current situation, it seemed that he could only take one step at a time.
Lu Chen brought Lü Yiyi to buy some medicine in the medicine store. Within an hour, Lü Yiyi refined a few pills.
"Boss, these seven pills can alleviate your injuries. It can reduce the damage to your body to around 65%. This is an Overlord Pill. It is a three star pill. After taking it, it can increase the potential of your body for 16 seconds, ignoring the damage to your body. However, after 16 seconds, it will return 70% of the pain. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't use it."
With an alchemist, the cost of recovery was much lower. Lü Yiyi was also a top alchemist. The success rate of refining pills and the quality of the pills were higher, so the cost was even lower.
30 spirit stones were already able to recover 20% of Lu Chen's injuries. They also refined an additional Overlord Pill.
Lu Chen took the Overlord Pill and nodded. "I hope we don't need to use it."
