Legendary Hero

"Hiss~ hiss~ hiss!" It was the sound of the wind, the sharp wind from the sharp sword cutting the air.

In the corner of the training ground where the Liuhuo Mercenary Corps was stationed, Jasmine was concentrating on practicing swordsmanship. After defeating the leader of the Highland Balrog last time, she realized something, and in the two days since she returned to Sun City, she plunged into cultivation, immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.

Today, Sun City has been basically blocked by the divine power of the Goddess of the Night. The mercenaries only dare to try their luck within a hundred kilometers around Sun City, so there are no important tasks. Arrange some work for Jasmine, which will allow Jasmine to improve her strength with peace of mind.

When the task of sniping the Balrog Legion was completed, the mercenary group received generous rewards, including a complete set of artifact equipment for the elite God of War Guards in active service.

In this battle, Jasmine contributed the most. Gorenson originally wanted to assign this set of artifacts to her, but Jasmine refused.

Of course she knows that the artifact is powerful enough to allow her to better preserve her own life, but she feels that with her current legendary strength, she cannot fully utilize the effect of the artifact, and she is also worried that the artifact will make her dependent , thereby hindering her continued growth. So, amidst the regretful sighs of several friends, Jasmine resolutely gave the artifact to another elite mercenary with stronger strength.

"Hiss~" Jasmine stabbed the sword for the last time, and then stopped. The condensed strong wind immediately left the sword body, turning into high-speed whirlpools of air that quickly spread out, and the whirlpools scraped a long streak on the ground. The traces are slowly disappearing.

After a while, Jasmine put her sword back into its sheath, and remained silent for a while, carefully contemplating the entire practice process before, recalling the gains and losses in the aftertaste, and it was not until half an hour later that she let out a long breath and began to rest.

A young mercenary who had been standing not far from her came over immediately. This mercenary held a flower made of azure crystal in his hand, walked up to Jasmine, and said with a smile, "Here it is for you."

Jasmine didn't reach out to pick it up, she glanced at the crystal flower lightly, shook her head and said, "Ryan, you know I don't like this thing."

This Ryan is also an elite member of the regiment, and somehow he fell in love with her. Although he didn't express his feelings clearly, he always tried his best to get close to her. But he can always control the degree of intimacy very well, so Jasmine doesn't feel much resentment. And she can't always be silent. In the abyss of depression, having someone to chat with can relax the pressure.

Ryan was not annoyed either. When he moved his hand, the blue crystal flower suddenly began to shrink and deform, and finally became a delicate hairpin: "You always need this, right? It is specially made, very light, very reliable, absolutely not affect your actions."

The issuing card is very nice, and Jasmine also saw that Ryan put a lot of thought into this little gift. She looked up and saw that the other party was eagerly hoping that she would agree, and her heart softened. Put it on for me."

"Ah? Ah! Oh~oh, okay." Ryan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, because according to the past situation, the other party would definitely refuse.

He was a little incoherent with excitement, and earnestly put the hairpin on Jasmine's thick and smooth ponytail hair. This action should have been very simple, but he found that his hands were shaking slightly, so that he still didn't feel it for a long time. Finish.

Jasmine didn't rush, but just waited patiently.

It was not easy for Ryan to complete this simple action. He felt as if he was in a life-and-death battle with the devil. After wearing it, he looked directly at Jasmine, with a flash of fascination in his eyes, and sincerely praised: "It's true! nice."

I don't know whether he said the hairpin looks good or the person looks good, but Jasmine knew he was talking about the latter, because this guy kept staring at her face.

Of course Jasmine knew what this person was thinking, but she had no choice but to reject this emotion.

A person's energy is limited, but what she pursues needs to be devoted to it to achieve a glimmer of possibility, so she will never waste time on the affair between men and women.

So, she shook her head, her voice was calm and firm: "Ryan, forget about me."

Ryan was startled, his heart was cold for a moment, he just felt that he had fallen from heaven to hell, and the calmness he had pretended before disappeared without a trace. He asked in disbelief, "What's wrong, Jasmine, did I do something wrong?"

Since the first day this woman joined the mercenary regiment, he has been astonished. It is true that the woman's appearance is not particularly outstanding in Sun City, but that glamorous temperament is like a flower growing in ice water. Xue Lily, lonely and cold, hit his heart right away.

Before launching the offensive, he observed for several days and made sure that the woman was alone and had no partner before he took any action.

Just now when the other party allowed him to wear a hairpin for her, he almost thought that he was going to succeed, but in the end what he was waiting for was this sentence, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Jasmine shook her head: "No, you did nothing wrong. It's just because I'm not suitable for you."

"Why isn't it suitable?" Ryan asked instinctively, his mind was in a mess.

"Did you see that sun in the sky?" Jasmine asked.

"Of course, that is the manifestation of the power under the crown of the God of War."

"In your eyes, that is indeed. But in my eyes, that means immortality, and that is what I am pursuing." Jasmine said softly.

"You...Gods can't be immortal, and gods will also fall. Why can't you let go of these burdens and experience the beauty and happiness of the moment?" Ryan's thoughts are completely different from Jasmine's. Although he also hopes that his strength will continue to rise, But he didn't take it as his ultimate goal in life.

In fact, he didn't intend to come to the abyss, but was forced to do so. This is also the situation of many residents in Sun City.

But they have no way to resist. Of course they can choose not to come to the Crimson Land, but they will definitely be forced by the Lord of Radiance to join the battlefield belonging to the Radiance Gods. Since he had to go to the battlefield no matter what, the Crimson Land was obviously a better choice.

Jasmine sighed, and looked at Ryan with icy eyes: "This is the difference between you and me. You saw the fall, but I saw the brilliance. The stronger the power, the less likely it is to fall. Don't you know that the true immortal Is it possible to transcend time?"

The Immortal is the highest achievement of the gods. For thousands of years, only three gods have successfully reached the top. These three gods have existed from ancient times to the present. No one knows their beginning, let alone when they will end.

To many mortals, these three immortals represent almost time itself.

Ryan didn't expect the woman in front of him to have such thoughts, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How is that possible? Jasmine, are you crazy?"

"Since there are already gods who have achieved it, it means there is a possibility of success. Other gods can do it, why can't I?" Jasmine asked back.

Ryan took a deep breath, he was finally sure that the woman in front of him was crazy, and they really were not the same way. He shook his head again and again, and wanted to say a few more words, but finally couldn't speak, so he could only sigh, turn and leave.

Jasmine watched him leave, and only lowered her eyes when she could no longer see him, with a look of disappointment on her face.

How could she not know the arrogance of her pursuit? How could she not know that if she gave up that unrealistic pursuit and casually searched for a man who loved her to marry her, she would be able to live a very comfortable and happy life. She also knew that she just let go of such an opportunity.

But deep in her heart, there is always a trace of unwillingness.

Many years ago, that swordsman went to the dark place to find her. At that time, he was just an ordinary legendary warrior, and his achievements might not be as good as Ryan. But now, he is already the commander-in-chief of the entire natural god system, a powerful god, and one step further, he is the immortal.

She has seen him achieve supreme power step by step with her own eyes, why can he do it but she can't? Even if she can't catch up, she must not fall too far behind.

The sound of footsteps came from beside her, and Jasmine knew who was coming without turning her head: "Head, what's the matter?"

Gorenson's expression was a bit complicated. He looked at the woman in front of him and handed over a letter stamped with the rune of the Flowing Fire Mercenary Corps: "Here, this is my letter of recommendation."

"Letter of recommendation?" Jasmine was very puzzled. She took the letter and read it a few times. On the back of the envelope was written the words 'Gentle Enlightenment under the Crown of the Moon God', and there was nothing else.

"Sorry. I happened to overhear the conversation between you and Ryan, but it also makes me more convinced that you are the most qualified to receive this letter of recommendation among my team."

Without waiting for Jasmine to ask, Gorenson continued: "You also know that the situation in Sun City is very serious now. After deliberation, the gods decided to search for those fighters with great potential for special training. If they are successful in training, they will be eligible to join A special team. It's a really good opportunity to improve."

Jasmine's heart was moved immediately, but she was still a little puzzled: "Leader..."

"I will no longer be the leader soon. To tell you the truth, I have now joined this team and become one of them. I very much hope that in the near future, you can fight side by side with me. Of course, the time should not be too long." It will take a long time, because this team is likely to face ten times more danger than ours in the past, and the soul may not survive. Maybe I have already died in battle before you come."

There was a see-through smile on Gorenson's face. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "In Sun City, some people have given up on their previous pursuits, and some people still have strong ideas, but they are unwilling to undertake the pursuit. The price of being strong. You want to be strong, and you know the way you want to go, and you still work hard. This is the same as me, so this letter is yours."

Jasmine said no more, and bowed to Gorensen: "Thank you very much."

Gorensen nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped after taking half a step, and said in a soft voice: "Your martial arts... are very similar to that one, I know you are from Tro Er. I think you should have a good relationship. This is a good thing, but it may not be so on the battlefield, because it will attract the attention of the Evernight Goddess. You must pay special attention to this."

Jasmine was startled, and then a trace of gratitude emerged. She really hadn't thought about this before. The news from the other party was very useful, and it might save her life at some point in the future.

"I remember."

"That's good. Take this letter to the training camp in the east of the city, and someone will test your ability. Seize this rare opportunity!" Gorenson made a gesture of clenching his fist, and then he turned and left.

Jasmine stood alone on the playground for a while, then she resolutely walked out of the Liuhuo mercenary regiment's camp, and strode towards the east of the city.

With great danger, there will be great benefits. In the natural pantheon that respects contract justice, this sentence is the truth.

Of course she wanted to seize this opportunity.
