With a flash of white light, Jiang Han disappeared from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was standing on the wall of a massive city.
The City of the Boundary.
This was the main battlefield where humans fought against the uncanny, countless warriors battling to keep the uncanny at bay.
Except for the special times when the uncanny invaded, most of them were intercepted outside this defensive line.
And this place was also known as the Boundary Battlefield.
"New here?"
As soon as he appeared, Jiang Han attracted the attention of the city guards.
Jiang Han wasn't surprised. Usually, anyone who had entered the Boundary Battlefield would receive a shoulder badge as proof of their identity.
He was new here, so naturally, he didn't have one.
"Brother, looking at you, you came alone, right?"
A guard walked up and said with a smile, "Have you thought about which legion to join?"
Jiang Han shook his head.
"Oh? Looks like you're still considering."
The guard smiled even more brightly, "Then why not join our City Guard? In the entire Boundary Battlefield, the City Guard should be the safest legion, and the benefits are very good too. You can exchange for the City Guard Armor Set."
As he spoke, the guard puffed out his chest, looking proud, "See this armor I'm wearing? Level 50-something gold equipment! I only stood guard for a year and got this piece of equipment. If you were in another legion, you would definitely need to go to the front lines and fight the uncanny."
"This kind of treatment is absolutely unique."
"I appreciate the offer, but I don't plan on joining any legion," Jiang Han said, shaking his head.
"Not planning to join a legion?"
The guard was taken aback, and joked, "What's up, bro, you want to be a lone wolf?"
"Something like that," Jiang Han nodded.
"Ah, this..."
The guard was a little confused. Coming to the Boundary Battlefield as a lone wolf?
Wasn't that purely an old man hanging himself, deliberately seeking death?
"By the way, could you tell me where the nearest blacksmith shop is?" Jiang Han asked, ignoring the guard's surprised expression.
"Oh, I get it, you're studying blacksmithing, right?"
"Follow the city wall all the way west, there's an old blind man there who's famous for forging quickly."
The guard suddenly understood.
Resisting the uncanny naturally required sufficient backup.
Therefore, in the City of the Boundary, batches of blacksmiths, tailors, and other professions were replenished from time to time. These people didn't need to join any legion.
After all, they didn't need to enter the battlefield.
"Not really, but thanks anyway," Jiang Han smiled, not explaining anything, and walked in the direction the guard pointed.
"Not a blacksmith?"
Watching his extremely calm back, the guard frowned, puzzled.
"Hey, why do you care what he's doing? He's probably just trying to trick you, doesn't want to join our City Guard."
At this time, a partner walked up, yawning boredly,
"No one really comes to the Boundary Lands as a lone wolf, isn't that just pure insanity?"
"That's true."
The guard nodded, "I just thought he looked quite pleasing, and felt a little strange."
"Yeah, this kid looks pretty pleasing, hopefully he won't die on the battlefield," the companion deeply agreed, "Dressing up all mysterious, I wonder if he has any real skills."
"Who knows."
The guard shrugged indifferently. They didn't pay much attention to this little episode, and returned to their posts.
People died every day on this Boundary Battlefield, they were already used to it.
Like a drop of water falling into the sea, what waves could it stir up?
...
Soon, Jiang Han found the old blind man's blacksmith shop.
At this moment, there was already a long queue outside the blacksmith shop. It could be seen that, as the guard said, this old blind man's forging skills should be good.
Jiang Han very rudely chose to cut in line.
"What the f*ck..."
Unlike Dahl's blacksmith shop, those queuing here were all NPCs, and many were warriors who fought the uncanny in the Boundary Battlefield, each with a terrifying aura.
Seeing someone cutting in line, they immediately became unhappy, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to fight.
Jiang Han was too lazy to talk nonsense, directly took out the Badge of Valor and the Stone of Valor and smashed them in front of the old blind man, "Enhance equipment."
"This is..."
"Badge of Valor?"
The old blind man clearly couldn't see, but he could identify the items Jiang Han threw out, and his whole body trembled with excitement, "Are you a brave warrior who passed the Purgatory-level Trial?"
"Purgatory-level Trial?"
Instantly, the group of people behind him lost their temper, each with wide eyes, looking at the gorgeous badge in disbelief.
They naturally knew what it meant to be able to pass the Purgatory-level Trial.
"Yes," Jiang Han nodded.
"Oh, heavens!"
The old blind man was extremely excited, "May I ask, sir, are you going to enter the battlefield and fight the uncanny?"
"Naturally."
Jiang Han nodded again, but he had no intention of chatting, and asked directly, "How much is the enhancement fee? I'm in a hurry."
"Fee?"
The old blind man waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course not, to be able to enhance such a badge is my honor, no charge, no charge."
"Then hurry up," Jiang Han said calmly.
"Definitely, definitely."
The old blind man nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
However, he did not immediately appraise the equipment, but hesitated slightly, and said, "Sir, there is something I would like to ask you to do."
"Of course, there is a reward."
Jiang Han was slightly surprised, he didn't expect to trigger a hidden quest as soon as he arrived, "Speak."
"It's like this."
The old blind man calmed down a little, and said, "My son entered the Beginner Battlefield some time ago, but he hasn't returned."
"If possible, I would like to ask you to help me find him, even if it's just a message."
"His name is Jon, Arturu."
"I'm very worried about him, as a reward, I will take out an Epic-level item."
"Do you know the specific location?" Jiang Han asked.
An Epic-level item was worth the effort.
"I don't know this, but..."
The old blind man thought for a moment, and said with a lost expression, "I heard someone say that the last time Jon was seen was in the Forest of Lords."
"Forest of Lords?!"
Several NPCs behind Jiang Han exclaimed, "Old Blind Man, aren't you deliberately harming people? The Forest of Lords is a place that even the Holy Legion treats with caution. Asking this sir to inquire about news is clearly sending him to his death!"
"That's right, although an Epic-level equipment is indeed very precious, that place is not a joke."
Saying that, one person looked at Jiang Han solemnly, and advised, "This sir, being able to pass the Purgatory-level Trial, you must have unlimited potential, and it won't be difficult for you to become a God-level expert in the future."
"But you must never go to the Forest of Lords rashly, so as not to lose your life in vain!"
