The sunset is setting.***

Mei Yali leaned in Yi Ming's arms, frowned slightly, obviously thinking about what Yi Ming had just said to her. As a man who grew up wandering on the streets, Yi Ming has a lot of experience in how to deceive, intimidate, steal, and rob, but how to make money "just" is something he is completely unfamiliar with. In this regard, Yi Ming can only rely on Mei Yali's judgment, and his habits have always been like this. The most important thing, whether it is useful or not, discuss with Mei Yali first, and then go to find others. What's more, this is their territory, and Yi Ming of course has to seek Mei Yali's opinions first.

"How is it? What do you think?"

Feeling Meyer's soft body, Yi Ming picked up another strand of her golden hair. Under the sunset, Meyer's originally brilliant hair emitted a hazy orange-red light at this moment, looking as holy as a goddess. And for Yi Ming's "**" of her hair, Meyer just shook her head and expressed dissatisfaction, but she had no intention of getting up from Yi Ming's arms at all. Only here can she find the most reassuring feeling.

(…It should be no problem, but it may be relatively troublesome.)

"For me, all I can think of now is this."

Yi Ming sighed long.

"After all, I've never tried to manage a territory."

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

"Mr. Yiming, I have brought you the person you want..."

Marien pushed the door and walked in. After seeing the appearance of Yiming and Mayali, she was obviously stiffened for a moment. Then she quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head with a red face.

"Sorry, Lord Yiming, Lord Meialie. I..."

"Nothing. Come in."

Yiming patted Meali's shoulders, while Meali stood up with a calm and graceful smile. Then she sat on the chair next to her. At this time, Marian turned her body sideways and let Elinoa Luxia Yuri Yufa and Lefal enter the study. Except for Marian Elinoa and Luxia, the other three looked a little nervous. Obviously they didn't know why they were called here.

"Sit down. Don't be nervous."

Yi Ming nodded and signaled to everyone. Then he asked after they all sat down.

"I have something to ask you first, Yuri, Yufa, and Lafar. Are you three very familiar with mercenaries? Tell me about the rules of mercenaries?"

"The rules of mercenaries?"

The three of them looked at each other suspiciously. Marien and the other three looked at Yi Ming without knowingly. What's wrong? Could it be that Yi Ming was preparing to be a mercenary because of the imminent "economic crisis"? If this is true, it would be too exaggerated. Looking around, there is no legendary swordsman in mainland China's history who would be a mercenary. "Malian, don't talk first."

Yiming made a gesture and signaled Marian to shut up first, then looked at the three of them.

"Tell me, tell me what you know."

"Hmph, even you..." Youfa reflexively wanted to mock a few words, but as soon as she said that, she stopped immediately. At the same time, she looked at Yi Ming secretly with fear, then coughed twice, and when she spoke again, she was not as presumptuous as before. "Mercenaries just use money to do things? What's so strange about this?"

"I know this."

Yi Ming was not angry. Instead, he continued to ask calmly.

"I'm asking the mercenaries what organization is there and what regulations are there for this kind of... You should know Lefar, right?"

"Well, dad told me some."

At this moment, Lafar didn't even dare to raise his head. Since that grassland massacre, she always lacked some confidence in front of Yi Ming and spoke less tough.

"Dad once told me that mercenaries are mercenaries, and everything is based on tasks. Even if you sacrifice your life, you must strive to ensure that the tasks are not lost. Mercenaries do not need loyalty. They only need to fulfill their responsibilities. Adventure is the life of mercenaries, and danger is the blood of mercenaries. This is everything about mercenaries..." Lafar actually fluently said such a large section of mercenaries' principles, and there is no place to silence or stutter. Obviously, she has already been familiar with this passage. This surprised Yi Ming slightly. Thinking of Lafar's catchphrase as soon as Lafar talks about mercenaries, the catchphrase must be "Dad said..." So, this shows that Lafar's father is a mercenary?

"Yuri. You have also been mercenaries."

Yiming gave Lefal a smile in admiration and turned his eyes to the orcs.

"What do mercenaries usually do when they have no mission?"

"this…………"

Yuri thought for a moment.

"Although we are orcs, the treatment is impossible to compare with human mercenaries, but there are many places similar. Generally, we will receive tasks on notices in the tavern, then meet with our employers, negotiate prices and take action after the task is completed. Of course, since mercenaries are always more than magicians, we often cannot receive tasks. At that time, we have to take the initiative to find some things to do. For example, some goblins who harass the village, or explore some ancient ruins. If we can find some treasures left by the ancient kingdom, it is also a way to make money..."

"I see."

Yi Ming nodded, signaled Yuri to stop, and then suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Xiya.

"So, Miss Luxiya, what kind of people are most of the magicians who were sent to the ground in the Twin Towers this time?"

"this…………"

Lu Xiya was suddenly stunned when asked, then she hurriedly turned over the materials she was holding in her hand and answered after checking it.

"Except for the two leading the team who are top magicians, the rest are just magicians and magicians who have just entered the magician realm. Of course, I don't think I have to report to you anymore in the Dark Tower."

There is nothing to report to the magic school with only three people.

"What do you two think?"

Yiming turned his gaze to Marian and Elinoa. They happened to be the magicians of the Tower of Green and Tower of Heyan, and they have both reached the level of the intern praising envoy. With the eyes of the two, they should be able to see some problems.

"Although I shouldn't say such things, Lord Yiming, I have to say... this is a very troublesome thing."

Alinoa spoke first.

"The dispute between the Tower of Heyan and the Tower of Verdant Green has been around for a long time. In the academy, there was no major conflict. But it was different here. The magician has the dignity and pride of a magician. Even if you and Lord Meallie are there, it is useless, because you two are swordsmen, not magicians. Although Lord Darkness is here, it is not a good idea."

Needless to say, everyone knows that Aini can't do anything except sleep all day long.

"In other words, after they come here, they will definitely fight each other?"

Yiming narrowed his eyes, while Marien nodded. Except for Mealee, no one noticed that Yiming used land to "confront" rather than "start the fight".

"But sir, why did you suddenly..."

“Elinoa.”

Yi Ming's thoughts were obviously very fast. Before everyone could react to what he wanted to do, Yi Ming had already jumped to another question.

"Does there any mercenary group here?"

"rare."

Alinoa hesitated slightly. Then she shook her head.

"Why?"

Yi Ming said concisely and didn't even have any extra questions.

"It's too difficult to replenish the land here, and... many things can't be bought here. We don't have the money to publish tasks, so naturally there will be no mercenary groups."

Elinoa briefly introduced it, while Yuri shook his head disapprovingly. Obviously he disagreed with Elinoa's statement.

"No, no, Lord Alinoa. You don't know mercenaries. Mercenaries are guys who dare to drill into the desert even if they put their heads on their belts. I think they are scared by you, Lord."

"I?"

Yi Ming widened his eyes slightly in surprise and looked at Yuri in disbelief. Mealee's eyes were also mixed with a hint of surprise.

"Why me?"

"Think about what you did? Lord Yiming?"

Yuri showed a bitter smile that was almost helpless on his face.

"Two people, ten thousand troops, collapsed in an instant. And you two are not magicians, but warriors. Magicians are extraordinary, and everyone knows this. And they don't bother to compete with us small mercenaries. But people like you are different. Warriors account for the majority of mercenaries, and for us warriors, swordsmen and even legendary swordsmen are all characters that cannot be offended. We may not listen to what the magician says, but we cannot listen to what the legendary swordsmen say. It's like two magicians can reject a warrior, but they do not.

Just like you can refuse the invitation from a magician, you have your self-esteem, and we have our rules. Even if you don’t specifically promote it now, everyone knows that you two must be legendary swordsmen. Without the permission of the two, which mercenary group dares to run to your territory to grab food? To be honest, if we didn’t come in that war, we would run far away when we hear rumors. This is the rule. This is also to express our respect for the people who can reach the peak among our warriors. After all, compared to magicians, legendary swordsmen are still too rare."

"I see…………"

Yiming nodded in contemplation, and then he looked at Lu Xiya again.

"I'll confirm it again. I have absolute control over the magicians of those two towers."

"Indeed, sir, because you are a member of the College Council, you naturally enjoy the right to manage the College members."

Yi Ming asked in a messy and inconsistent manner, making everyone confused. Although Lu Xiya answered Yi Ming's question, she couldn't help but look at Yi Ming curiously, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"So, what if that's the case?"

Yi Ming's expression finally became serious. He stared at everyone and spoke slowly.

"If I declare that the forest of life is completely opened, that anyone can enter and exit freely, and that there will be no restrictions outside of imperial laws on them, will those mercenaries come?"

"this…………"

Yuri thought for a moment.

"It's possible. After all, this is the location of the High Elves Kingdom back then. If you really allow it to open, there will definitely be many mercenaries coming to explore the ruins. But what good will this do to you? If you announce the acquisition of their land, even if it's only a small part, those mercenaries will not agree to it."

"No, no, no."

Yi Ming shook his head.

"I will not collect their income, nor will I ask them to pay me any protection fees."

"Then you..."

Everyone was stunned again. What was the matter? If this was the case, it would be better for Yi Ming to search the ruins by himself. Maybe if he found something, he would be rich... Why do you have to make a wedding dress for others? And at this moment, Yi Ming suddenly laughed, smiling very gently.

"I heard that ordinary mercenary groups cannot afford to hire magicians."

"Of course, magicians are not mainly expensive, but they usually practice magic, and few people agree to act with the mercenary group."

"So…………"

Yi Ming's fox tail finally rose up, swaying and shaking.
