"What's that female mage's idea?"

In the Paradise of the Brave, no matter how Catherine and the others whispered, they couldn't hide it from the members of the executive committee. One of the most impatient of them all, the most curious, was eager to ask the other commissioners.

Unfortunately, the commissioners pretended not to hear and continued to wait patiently for Catherine to come. Unfortunately, Catherine managed to convince the group, but was stopped by the goblin scholar. The old professor's request was simple, "wait five minutes".

Catherine didn't refuse this inexplicable request, but the impatient lady felt like a kitten fluttering butterflies in her heart, so she raised her voice and asked, "Bi, didn't you work in the mercenary group before. You must know what that female mage is trying to do, why don't you tell everyone?"

Bi was named and reluctantly turned her head. She looked at Mrs. Vicie with an inquiring eye, and the Chief Councillor smiled and nodded slightly.

"It's well known. Bi opened her mouth and only said half a sentence before she stopped to look at Fei Shuang. But two seconds later, she noticed that Frost was staring at her without showing any weakness, and finally gave up the idea of embarrassing the impatient lady.

"It is well known that surrender is also a means of self-preservation when the enemy is too strong to defeat and there is no possibility of escape. Bi adjusted her mood and said in as calm a tone as possible.

"Is that female mage coming to surrender?" Fei Shuang curled the corners of her mouth downwards and looked at Bi with a boring look, "but we are not their enemies. ”

Her expression seemed to say, "Hey, please don't talk nonsense, you're wasting everyone's time".

Biyan twitched twice, and said slowly: "As we all know, when two mercenary groups are fighting against each other, and one of the teams encounters a critical situation that may be destroyed, there is an unwritten rule that can be used to get out of trouble. ”

"It's just that this rule doesn't do much. Bi further explained, "Because its premise is that the mercenary group that wants to save itself must be able to come up with enough things in exchange for the lives of the entire team members. But usually one party has the strength to completely destroy the other, so there is no need to make such a deal. ”

"Yes, destroy them all, and the things will be in hand. Fei Shuang rubbed her fingernails and agreed, still with the expression that you were talking nonsense.

"So someone came up with the idea of using intelligence in exchange. And in that case, the way to deal with it is also simpler. All you need to do is keep the leader of the mercenary group as a hostage, and when the rest of the team evacuates to safety, then tell the other party the information. Bi simply didn't look at Fei Shuang and said to herself, "It's a pity that extremely valuable information is rare." In addition, in order to prevent retaliation, the losing mercenary group must be disbanded, and each member of the team must have a permanent cross scar engraved on the back of their left hand. Those with such scars will not be hired by other mercenary groups in the years to come. ”

"I don't know, that's how the cross flower on the back of your left hand came from? Fei Shuang kept tapping the cup in front of her with her nail clippers, making an irritating "ding" sound.

This voice made Bi a little upset, and she glared at Fei Shuang fiercely and said, "Actually, I don't mind challenging the position of the third committee member. ”

"Skipping the level is not allowed, dear Bi. Fei Shuang shook her finger slightly, "But I still don't understand, what that Kul mercenary group has to do with this rule, the situation is not quite in line with what you said." ”

"For the Kuhl Mercenary Group, their purpose is to withdraw from the third round of the Brave Paradise in order to protect themselves. Gray Cloud, who was in the audience, immediately participated in the discussion, Fei Shuang was a lady who gave the entire committee a headache, and she could not be allowed to continue to wantonly provoke Bi's anger, "Ms. Fei Shuang, the so-called rules are never set in stone. Speaking of which, whether it is surrendering to the enemy or the unwritten rules of withdrawal of the mercenary group, it is essentially a mode of self-salvation. It's just that surrender surrenders the control of force and life, while retreat surrenders the establishment of intelligence and mercenary groups. Captain Catherine now feels that her team is in a major crisis, and we happen to be the ones who can remove this danger, so that this redemption is feasible. ”

"And Captain Catherine has seen that we are more interested in valuable information, and they seem to have some valuable information in their hands. Mr. Fangbi also smiled and said, "The Kur mercenary group must have come to the depths of the Doden Mountains to carry out their mission. As soon as they left the royal city, they were wanted by the kingdom, which in itself was a very interesting thing. I'm curious to see what kind of mission they're doing. ”

"Makes sense. Fei Shuang held her chin, her eyes turned around flexibly, and she looked at Bi with a smile and said, "But these people are really not very strong, and they dare to run into the deep mountains, which is really interesting." Could it be that the so-called mercenary groups are all composed of guys who don't have much strength?"

"The strength of a mercenary group is not only reflected in individual combat strength, teamwork is the most important measure. Bi said coldly, "The team of the Kul Mercenary Group is quite well coordinated. I think even if you fight against them, if you don't use your little tricks, you won't be their opponent at all. Of course, you don't have much ability except for small tricks. ”

Bi's counterattack was dripping and direct, and he didn't know how to beat around the bush. Fei Shuang felt that the other committee members looked at her together, and their eyes were full of ridicule at her little tricks.

The impatient lady was furious. But just as Frost was about to have a seizure, she suddenly raised her head. At the same moment, all the committee members also noticed something unusual, and they raised their heads like Fei Shuang and looked at the dark space.

The Paradise of the Brave is an independent space, and for those who cannot master the ability of space, the size of the space is equivalent to infinity. However, in this infinite space, a slender white line inadvertently appeared. The white line only flashed and disappeared, and if you didn't look closely, you might think it was dazzling.

But none of the executive committee members thought so, and their faces instantly turned ugly. Their eyes widened intently. Sure enough, within a few seconds, another white line appeared in the space, and there was more than one. Soon, scattered white lines flashed in different places. They are long and short, fast and slow. Even with the flickering of these white lines, you can hear the sound of "crackling".

"Space is collapsing!how is that possible?" Bi squinted, as if talking to herself.

"Ahh Frost chuckled nervously, "I've never seen anything like this before, it's so funny." ”

Everyone reacted and looked at the Kuhl mercenary group.

I saw a half-human-high hole appear in front of the three of Catherine, and from the hole, you could see the scene of the corner city outside. The three Catherines were emerging from the hole, and the twelve-toed-toe professor stood in front of it, his diminutive stature just enough to plug the hole. The old professor watched the members of the committee silently, and then his figure slowly faded and disappeared without a trace.

After entering the Doden Mountains, Catherine felt that Lady Luck had favored them for the first time. If it weren't for the old professor inexplicably making her wait five minutes, Catherine believed she wouldn't have been able to grasp the moment. The space of the Paradise of the Brave suddenly became unstable, and under the guidance of the goblin scholar, Catherine successfully burned a hole in the cloth wall of the large tent that emerged from the cracks in the space.

In this way, the old professor was afraid that he had already discovered something, so he would let her wait for five minutes. It's just that how could the space of the Paradise of the Brave be unstable? Could it be a method used by the goblin scholars? Unfortunately, the old professor has disappeared without a trace, and there is no way to ask questions.

However, now is not a good time to get to the bottom of the matter, and the Kurid mercenaries must leave Corner City as soon as possible.

"The air outside is so nice. Ferry exclaimed excitedly, "We made it out alive." ”

"Are you afraid that no one will find us? If you keep shouting, those committee members will be called by you. Ace said in a low voice. He rushed forward and grabbed Ferry by the neck, covering the priest's mouth and dragging away.

Ferry tried to break his pincer-like arm, his eyes widened. Sometimes he smacked Ace's arm hard, and sometimes waved his hands at Catherine who was behind them for help. It's a pity that neither Ace nor Catherine has the time to pay attention to Feeley. The two of them ran as fast as they could, towards the shadows under the opposite building.

In the gap between the two buildings, Ace finally slowed down.

"Don't push too hard. Catherine, who was following behind, patted Ace on the shoulder.

"Huh?" As, seeing that Feeley's eyes had turned white, quickly let go of his hand.

"Oh—" Ferry took a deep breath as he fell to the ground, then gasped for several more gasps before he relented. He pointed at Ass and complained in a low voice, "I don't need the commissioners to come, I'm about to die at your hands." ”

Ace raised his hands innocently, signaling that he didn't mean to.

"How are we going to get out of town?" asked Catherine, looking at the Paradise of the Brave opposite, worriedly. The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and the joy of just escaping from danger disappeared in an instant.

Ace silently walked over to Catherine's side and looked at the other side with a heavy face. Fee, who was sitting on the ground, opened the legs and feet of the two, also poked his head out, looked at the other side and said, "Why don't you ask the old professor, didn't he tell us just now that there was something wrong with the space of the Paradise of the Brave." ”

"Then you call out that toe. Ace glanced at the head between him and Catherine.

"It's Mr. Professor Twelve Toes, and that's a university scholar. Ferry seemed to be very dissatisfied with As's impoliteness, "But let's come on, the captain, every time I say hello, Mr. Professor is gone." ”

"Now that he's gone, don't count on him. Ace crossed his hands over his chest and held his chin with one hand.

He kept touching the short whisker on his chin and said, "Look at the square in front of you, it is still very lively, which means that the celebration is still going on." It seems that the committee did not inform the residents of the city about our escape, at least not that they had any intention of arresting us publicly. ”

"But we can't go in that direction to the square, and once we are recognized, the committee will find us as soon as possible. Catherine sighed, "Don't you think it's strange, the committee doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and so far there seems to be no movement. Did they just let us go? Actually, if possible, I wish we could go to the square. It's safer to blend in with the crowd, and you may even have a chance to find out how to get out of the city. It's just that the city is too small, and most of the residents in the city know each other well, so we can't mix in at all. ”

"Isn't this a good time for us to leave, Captain?" asked Fee, a little puzzled, "You see the residents are all in the square, and we can't just slip away from where no one is." ”

Ferry simply pushed Catherine and Ace away, stood up and pointed in the opposite direction of the square. Compared to the bustle in front of him, the place Ferry was pointing to was dark and unrealistic. It was only certain that there was a building in the middle of the street, much taller than the bungalows along the street, and it was probably the town hall that Grey Cloud had mentioned earlier.

"You're thinking too simply. Ace vetoed Feeley's proposal, "If I were the committee, the first thing that would come to mind would be that we would run where no one is." We are not familiar with it at all, and who knows what will be waiting for us, maybe there will be traps. Taking a step back, even if we touch the edge of the city, do you think we can get through those forests? Do we cut them down or burn them?"

"Won't you find out if you try?" Ferry retorted reluctantly, "let the head of the regiment decide." You're a warrior, we need your strength, and we'll have to cut down trees later. ”

Ace spread out his hands and said, "You are still cutting down trees." I don't even have a weapon now, do you want me to smash it with my fists and bite it with my teeth?"

"Well, I'll donate my most beloved treasure to you. Ferry pulled out his little silver dagger and handed it to As, "This is our last weapon, you can use it leisurely." ”

Ace took the knife as long as his palm, and laughed a little, "Catherine, let's say something." What do we do now? Or listen to Ferry and touch the edge of the city. Of course, I don't think I'll be able to walk through that weird wood. ”

"I think we'll go there anyway. Catherine muttered for two seconds, then pointed out into the distance.
