"It's not easy. the Mormont family is finally recruiting guards."
"the Mormont family is currently recruiting twenty bodyguards. They are required to be over sixteen years old and in good health."
"The guards of the Mormont family are paid ten Black coin coins per month, and the guard captain is fifty Black coin. Their salary is much better than that of other families."
"the Mormont family is recruiting guards. This is a good opportunity. If you can join the Du family as a guard, you might even be able to learn the Mormont family's martial arts. Only then will you be able to truly stand out. It is rare for the Mormont family to recruit guards. This is a good opportunity." Chance."
Beside the lively streets of Shicheng, a few imposing men in powerful attire posted a large red notice on the city wall. Suddenly a large group of figures gathered in front of the city wall, whispering and discussing.
Among the several powerful men, the leading man rode a dark red horse with two horns on its head, a strong and muscular horse. The momentum was oppressive for no reason. He looked at the crowd gathered and said: "Tomorrow morning. Our the Mormont family recruits guards from outside. Anyone who can achieve three moves among the juniors of the main line of our Du family can become a guard. Anyone who can beat or tie with any young boy of the main line of our the Mormont family family can become a guard captain. There are quotas. Twenty, first come, first served.”
The big man on the horse has a kind of pride and arrogance in his sharp eyes. the Mormont family's status in the entire Stone City is extraordinary, and as a member of the Mormont family, he also has a sense of pride that is more than ordinary people.
After the words fell, several people behind the big man jumped on their horses and stood side by side behind the leading man. Their movements were neat and neat, and then they walked away.
"The person riding the sweat-blooded dragon horse in front is Jorah Mormont, the deputy commander of the Mormont family . Rumor has it that he has reached the Xiantian realm."
"It would be great if I could also reach the Xiantian realm. Then it would be no problem to walk sideways in this stone city. Let's see who dares to look down on me in the future."
"You'd better pray to God first and pray that you can be admitted to the Mormont family to become a guard tomorrow. Although the juniors of the Mormont family are not old, they are all extremely powerful. I'm afraid not many can support the three moves. , Innate realm, you just have to dream first, how can anyone reach that level?"
"Hehe, I must join the Mormont family as a guard tomorrow."
Among the crowd of onlookers, a burly man with stubble, slightly dark skin, smiled mysteriously at his companions, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you secretly, as long as you can become the captain of the guard, If you can practice some of the Mormont family's martial arts skills, it is not impossible to become a member of the Mormont family."
"Lowe, aren't you lying to us? Can the guard captain practice the Mormont family's exercises and martial arts?" Several companions around the man were shocked, and then their eyes filled with envy.
The man named Lowe patted his chest and said, "A distant relative of mine is from the Mormont family family. I can still deceive you."
"You actually have relatives who are from the Mormont family, so you won't be able to enter Ding tomorrow." Hearing this, several people around him suddenly looked envious of Lowe.
The news of the Mormont family family's recruitment of guards immediately attracted the attention of countless people. As a newly emerging big family in Shicheng, it has become very powerful in recent years and has become one of the five major families in Shicheng. It has continued to be strong. Every move is naturally Attracted the attention of the whole city.
At dusk, thick clouds and mist lingered in the sky above Shicheng. The sun near the horizon was like a fireball that was about to go out, shooting out streaks of crimson rosy glow in the gaps in the clouds and mist, and then descending on the mountains.
Shicheng is close to the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range and is located on the border of the empire. There are often monsters and monsters, and the three religions and nine schools of fish and dragons are mixed together. This also makes everyone in Shicheng who is nurtured by the soil and water good at martial arts. They are also extremely tough. Among them, the five major families are even more skilled in martial arts. Family.
"Deng Deng!"
Several horses raised their hooves, causing dust to fly all the way. They looked at Jorah Mormont, the official deputy commander of the Mormont family Guards, who was riding a sweaty horse dragon.
Behind Jorah Mormont, a big man raised his head slightly and stared at the sky. Then he smiled at the people on horseback beside him and said, "On the thirteenth day, how about we bet on whether the fool is still here and give you five Black coin?"
"That idiot seems to be getting more and more stupid recently. I'm afraid he's still there. I bet he's still there."
"It's already the thirteenth day. That fool must be gone. The previous highest record was only ten days. I won't bet on it anymore."
Five Black coin is half a month's wages for an ordinary guard, but these big men were very interested. It seemed that this was not the first time they had made this kind of bet. They took out five Black coin and handed them to the first big man. .
"You guys, please pay attention. Although that person is not favored in the clan and behaves strangely, don't blame me for not warning you. After all, that person is the young master of the Mormont family and your master. What if one day you Because if this matter fails, I won’t be able to protect you when the time comes.”
Sitting on the sweaty horse dragon, Jorah Mormont glared at the big men with a rather stern expression.
The big man who had just taken the lead in booing was a little frightened under Jorah Mormont's sharp gaze. His eyes flickered, and then he smiled and said softly: "Deputy Commander, now the entire the Mormont family and even the entire Shicheng people are calling him a fool behind his back. What's more? He is useless and stupid to begin with, so it should be okay for us to call him out in private."
"Although that is the case, the master is the master after all. No matter how useless or stupid that person is, he still has the blood of the Mormont family. You must know your position, otherwise you are destined to suffer big losses in the future."Jorah Mormont said fiercely. He glared at the men.
"I understand, Vice Commander."
Several men suddenly trembled and nodded. They naturally understood what the deputy commander said.
Seeing this, Jorah Mormont expression softened a little, then he turned back and glanced sideways at the big man who was the first to make a fuss, and said: "Five Black coin, right? Add me five Black coin, I bet that guy is still standing there. On."
"Haha, the deputy commander also placed a bet."
When several big men saw this, the tense atmosphere just now dissipated a lot. They galloped their horses and accelerated, wondering whether the member of the Mormont family was still there at this time.
the Mormont family family, the five largest families in Shicheng, is located in a majestic building. The barren mountain in front of the gate of the Mormont family family is particularly eye-catching in front of the majestic the Mormont family.
That barren mountain was strange to say. Not a blade of grass grew all year round, birds never landed, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants were nowhere to be found. It was like a dead land. People in the Mormont family thought that place was unlucky and avoided it.
It is said that the main gate of the Mormont family originally faced the hillside, but because of the existence of that ominous place, the Mormont family the Mormont family family moved the main gate to the front more than ten years ago.
From that time on, the Mormont family family, which was originally just a third-rate family, began to rise in Stone City. This made people believe that the barren mountain was an ominous place, and no one dared to approach it.
The barren mountains are like a dead land, with no grass growing, all dry, and the ground is full of sand and gravel.
On the barren mountain, there is half a stone tablet standing, and the remaining half of the stone tablet should be buried in the barren mountain.
Half of the stone tablet is exposed on the barren mountain. It is also extremely huge. It is three feet high and is mottled all over. It is unknown how many years it has been there. At least no one in the Du family knows how long this stone tablet has been there. Rumor has it that since the ancestors, it has been there. The stele has always been there.
The stone tablet may have a lot of intricate small cracks on it due to its age.
No one in the Mormont family was interested in the stone tablet, and the stone tablet was located on an unknown barren mountain, so no one paid any attention to it.
It is said that strong men the Mormont family have inspected the stone tablet before. It was just an ordinary stone tablet, nothing special about it.
The only thing that is special about the stone tablet is that there was a storm ten years ago. The famous young master Gene Mormont Shaofu of the Mormont family was in a daze in front of the stone tablet. A drought thunder bombarded the stone tablet. As a result, the stone tablet was fine, but Gene Mormont in front of the stone tablet was. He was struck by lightning and fell asleep for three days and three nights.
"Damn, that stupid... that one is still here, it's only the thirteenth day."
"I've lost half a month's salary again. The rest of this month will be very difficult. I'll need to borrow some living expenses to help me in emergencies."
As the sun set, in front of the gate of the Mormont family, several strong men stared blankly at the figure of a thin young man in front of the stone monument on the barren mountain, and then their eyes were filled with joy and sadness.
The person who won was happy, but the person who lost five Black coin was naturally not happy.
Who would have thought that this time the person whom the entire the Mormont family called a fool would break the record again, standing in front of the stone monument without sleep for thirteen days.
"Let's go, it will get dark soon. There will be many young masters and ladies who will try their hand at the guard recruitment tomorrow. There can be no mistakes."
Jorah Mormont withdrew his eyes from the stone monument on the barren mountain and sighed secretly. Recruiting guards tomorrow was actually a small training for the juniors of the Mormont family family, killing two birds with one stone. However, the one on the barren mountain at this time, although he was also a member of the Mormont family, The young master, but tomorrow's training has nothing to do with him, and I'm afraid it will never have anything to do with him. They are both young masters and ladies, but this is the difference.
"That idiot is still standing there, it's been thirteen days, and he's getting more and more stupid."
"It is said that many doctors in the clan have looked at that fool, but to no avail. There is really no cure."
Outside the Mormont family, many servants and maids who came and went did not take the time to glance at the barren mountains ahead. There was a bit of regret and sigh in their eyes. A young master who was supposed to be well-dressed and well-fed, unexpectedly turned out to be so stupid. .
The sky is getting darker and darker, dusk is gradually passing by, and there is still a faint blush where the setting sun has set. As the last afterglow fades, the world also becomes dim.
In front of the stone monument, a purple-robed young man sat cross-legged. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. His slightly childish face looked a little more resolute and determined than his peers. His slightly closed eyes, Thick eyebrows like swords.
The young man's name is Gene Mormont, and he looks good. If he were not from Shicheng, it would be hard to imagine why he would be called a fool.
In the deep blue night sky, stars gradually emerged, and a crescent moon glowed brightly in the depths of the sky, like a scimitar.
In the dead of night, the entire the Mormont family was sleeping, and no one would pay attention to the young man who died on the barren mountain.
The ancient stone monument stands tall and looks particularly strange in the moonlight.
"boom!"
Suddenly, on the ancient stone tablet, the originally intricate cracks began to overflow with a faint light. The cracks continued to crack, and the entire barren mountain shook slightly, but no one saw all this, otherwise it would have been cruel. Very surprised.
"Kaka."
Finally, the cracks in the ancient stone tablet that had stood for countless years became larger and larger, and the light in the cracks became more and more dazzling, turning into a curtain of light and covering Gene Mormont's body. Then the entire stone tablet suddenly cracked and turned into a pile of Gravel and powder pile up on the barren hills.
"Chichi!"
As the light curtain disappeared, Gene Mormont's closed eyes in front of the stone tablet suddenly opened, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes, like lightning in the night, and an ancient aura swept out from the thin body, The surrounding space trembled with tremors.
"call!"
A breath of turbid air came out of his mouth, and a faint smile appeared on Gene Mormont face. He sighed softly and said: "After ten years, I finally understood the first style!"
