Chapter 8: Alliances
In the early morning, smoke rises everywhere. When Ryan and the others walked out of the tent, adventurers from all over the world were nervously busy. Thanks to Yinfeng's help in borrowing the tent, the three of Lane did not lie on the grass and watch the stars all night.
Now the entire post station is roughly estimated to be inhabited by thousands of mercenaries, adventurers, and thieves. This really put a lot of pressure on [Fuzhi], this post station that didn't even have a hundred people all year round in the past had to manage the eating, drinking and Lazar of nearly a thousand people at once, and it really couldn't manage it. In this way, the post commander ordered all the staff of the entire post kitchen to stop their duties and go to the city to procure supplies - what about the meal? I will not deprive you of food. This is the pavilion chief's roar at the people who are constantly pouring into the station.
Outside the inn. "What are we going to have for breakfast? Feige asked shamelessly as he straightened his gray robes.
"I'll look at the distance and see if there are pheasants or hares or anything like that. Ryan said.
"Ah--, if you eat barbecue in the morning, won't it be too greasy? Feige had empty sleeves and actually showed a disgusted face.
"Then you might as well arrange our breakfast!" Kara poked her head out.
"Hehe, that's still not going to be. Ryan decides. As soon as he heard that he was going to work, Fitch immediately retreated.
When Ryan returned, Yinfeng had just come out of the tent. Yinfeng sent a mercenary to the post master to purchase ingredients, and he himself personally commanded a few mercenaries with good skills to prepare for the fire first.
Yinfeng felt incredible when she saw Ryan carrying two pheasants in her hands. There are nearly 1,000 people in the post station, and it is estimated that there are several miles in a radius, so there should be no chickens, how can there be pheasants?
"Where did you call this pheasant?" Yinfeng said.
"It's just north of the inn, about ten miles. Ryan said.
"Ten miles! You ran ten miles in just a few moments?" Yinfeng said.
"Plus it's twenty miles back. Feige said.
Yinfeng was speechless for a moment. Is this like the speed that a great swordsman should have? After thinking about it, Yinfeng still invited Ryan to eat with him. Ryan was about to refuse, saying that he already had pheasants, but he didn't want Feige to sit down unceremoniously. Carla took out her private collection of fluffy bread and ate it alone, leaving Ryan standing stupidly with a pheasant in one hand. Ryan thought for a moment, picked up a long branch, and put two pheasants on a bunch, ready to save for dinner.
"Mr. Yinfeng, when are you going to enter the [Plague Land]?" Feige said to Yinfeng as he sat at the wooden table and enjoyed the food brought by the mercenary.
"Wait!" Yinfeng said casually. He pointed to the surrounding crowd and said, "Now everyone is watching, counting on who will not be able to resist going in first." From the mission statement issued by the four major trade unions, it can be seen that this dungeon is absolutely dangerous, and whoever is first is unlucky. Naturally, we're not going to be this pathfinder. ”
Yinfeng said and looked at Ryan, seeing that Ryan's eyes were dull, looking at a place motionless, obviously thinking about something, he couldn't help asking, "Lord Ryan, I wonder what Lord Ryan thinks about entering the [Plague Land]?"
Ryan came back to his senses, but lowered his head and said calmly: "Unity! As Mr. Yinfeng said, the plague land alone is so dangerous, let alone inside the dungeon, this dungeon is definitely not something that can be broken into by one person or a team, I think that with the strength of everyone in the station, I can try." ”
Yinfeng said: "That being said. It's just that this is easier said than done, everyone has their own ideas and plans. How can they be willing to be at the mercy of others? He shook his head again.
"Haha. It's impossible for everyone, but some people still do it. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and it was the black-haired young man who had watched Ryan's battle outside the inn gate yesterday. Behind him, the blonde youth followed.
"Your Excellency is---[Sword Demon Knight] Jack Hades, the leader of the [Black Gold Jack Mercenary Regiment]!, and the legendary thief of the younger generation, Kim Puwangka!" Yinfeng said with both excitement and surprise. Although he knew that the two of them had already arrived at the [Fuzhi] Station, Yinfeng never imagined that these two legends of the younger generation would actually visit the camp.
Yinfeng got up to greet him, and when the two of them sat down at the wooden table, he sat down and said respectfully: "What Your Excellency meant just now was ....... ”
"Yes, this visit is to talk to the head of the silver phoenix about going to the dungeon together, and of course, the great swordsman Ryan Morin. The black-haired Jack said, and there was an irresistible magic in his voice.
"Lord Jack means to form an alliance with me?" Yinfeng said.
"Yes. What His Excellency Ryan said just now is very right, this S-class task promulgated by the four major trade unions this time is by no means something that can be completed by one person or a team, at least on the Brave Continent, so we must unite to have a chance to complete it. Moreover, the four major trade unions have issued huge commissions for the stability and safety of the west of the Brave Continent, and they are issued by the four major trade unions respectively, which means that once this task is completed, it means that the completer can take all the commissions of the four major trade unions, and this does not include the treasures that may exist in the dungeon. It's going to be a lot of money. Jack said.
"How is it, Captain Yinfeng. Jack asked with a smile.
Yinfeng was obviously moved. It's just that I'm still a little worried in my heart, "It's naturally good to be able to form an alliance, but I don't know how much of our [Silver Knight] can occupy in this alliance?"
"Haha, Yinfeng is quick to talk, just what I want. I'm not sloppy either. Saying that, Jack stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty percent!
"I wonder who other allies are besides me?" Ying Feng didn't rush to respond, but asked.
"B-level mercenary group [Eagle Sky], they also account for 20%, C-level mercenary group [Sea Lion] accounts for 10%, and our A-level mercenary group [Black Gold Jack] accounts for 40%. ”
"And what about Ichsei?"
Jack Hades looked at Ryan: "Originally, I was going to find another C-level team for this last success, but after seeing Lord Ryan's sword skills yesterday, I changed my mind, and I plan to use this success to invite Lord Ryan to join." ”
"But there were only three of us. Ryan said.
"Lord Ryan doesn't need to be suspicious, I naturally have this idea from your adventurer team. Your Excellency's [Three Little Bears] Adventurer Squad ......" Speaking of this, Jack couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "I'm sorry, let me laugh a little. I wonder who came up with this name?"
Kara said angrily, "Who else but Feige." Thankfully, he didn't write "Three Little Dogs" at the time. "You can imagine the innocence of our gray-robed mage when he spontaneously became the captain and wrote the name of the team in the registration office with a white goose quill in his hand.
"Hehe... Okay, well, I continued, except for Lord Feiqi's unsurprising strength, the other two in the team are still admired. Of course, in terms of overall strength, Lord Ryan's [Three Little Bears] adventurer team is indeed insufficient, but I am willing to take half of it out to make it a friend of Lord Ryan!" Jack's tone was sincere.
How?" asked Jack briskly.
"Thank you!" Ryan didn't say much.
"What about the [Silver Knight Mercenary Group]?"
"Since His Excellency Ryan has agreed, I naturally won't refuse. Yinfeng continued. It's just that Yinfeng was surprised that he didn't expect Ryan to have such a great charm and make the leader of an A-level mercenary group make friends with one percent of his interests!
"Well, that's right. Even if our alliance is complete, I think other teams will think the same way. I plan to leave on time tomorrow morning to the Plaguelands. ”
Jack finished chatting a few more words, and then got up and left with the blonde man.
After Jack left, Ryan was lost in thought again, and Kara was doing what she had to do every day - wiping her bow and arrows, and only Feige was there with his little fingers and his eyes looking at the sky and not knowing what he was calculating. Suddenly, Feige let out a strange cry and shouted, "Wow, rich, rich." If this task is completed, we will at least get 40,000 gold coins! Oh my God, I have never seen even a thousand gold coins, this time there will be 40,000, and if the three of us divide it equally, I will have more than 10,000 gold, oh yes, so much money, what to buy, by the way, with so much money, I must first buy a [Crusader Staff], so that I can be worthy of the identity of a magician!"
Yinfeng watched Fei Qi talk to himself immersed in a beautiful reverie, smiled and didn't speak, because he had just closed his eyes and calculated carefully, and he also had the same thoughts in his heart as Fei Qi, but the latter didn't say it.
Half of the silver phoenix only reacted, tomorrow morning will be marching into the [Plague Lands]? This is not in line with his original plan, damn, there are still a lot of things that are not prepared. Yinfeng hurriedly called Abel and asked him to lead a team of young mercenaries to take stock of manpower and materials, here the Silver Knight Mercenary Group can be said to be out of the nest, but it is not necessary to bring the whole group into the [Plague Land], the task of adventurous land is never the more people, the better, and those who are not strong can only be sent to death, and they have to bring more materials, which can only be a burden. It's better to stay on the periphery and camp to respond.
Ryan and the others didn't have anything to prepare, the main thing was dry food and water. These were already prepared when they came from the town of Blessing.
"Huh, where's Feige?" Ryan counted the rations and water again, and suddenly found that our Master was missing.
"Who knows? I guess I got into someone's tent to take advantage of it. Kara said unconcernedly.
"Hey, Kara, you're so unconscionable. "Carla was right. As Kara spoke, Fei Qi happened to come out of Yinfeng's tent not far away, holding a black clay jar in both hands.
"What are you holding in your hands?" Ryan said.
"Thank me, I've saved you a lot of money!" Fei Qi said proudly, "This is the fuel that can block the miasma." "Now there are forces and mercenaries from all sides who want to enter the [Plague Land]. The price of fuel in the post station and the town of Blessing has risen that is a mess, and there is money that may not be able to buy it, but I have to ask for a can in Yinfeng after I put my old face out, but I have to look at it. Don't touch it at night. There are a lot of thieves here. ”
"Cut, is there still value in selling for your old face?" said Kara dismissively.
"So, I have to thank Captain Yinfeng. Ryan said.
Feige put the fuel and dry food together, thought about it and felt unsafe, and picked it up again and held it in his hand. The plague land is full of miasma, whether it can survive or not depends on it, it can be said that without eating or drinking, people can live for several days, if they can't breathe, it is estimated that a cup of tea is enough to choke.
Kara frowned and walked over and said, "Looking at it this way, we still have a lot of things. If you enter the Plague Lands, it's a hassle to carry it all the time, hey, Feiqi, they're all mages, can't you just make a different dimensional space to put things like the mage did last night?"
"It's easy for you to say, it's space magic, although it is the lowest level of chaos magic, but it can only be learned by a white-robed mage. You're exalting me too much. I think you can save a lot of space by don't bring bread and replace it with dry food. I saw the elves of the Silver Moon Forest just now, and they brought all dry food, and you said that they are also elves, why do you want to eat bread!"
", I'm a yellow elf, how can I ...... them. Halfway through Kara's words, she quickly stopped her mouth and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Silver Moon Elf, only to think that the distance was so far away, the key was that the post station was so noisy, even if it was like an elf, it was impossible for the other party to hear it, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What yellow elves? "Feige is unrelenting.
"I don't want to say, I love to bring bread. If you have the ability, don't bring fuel, I can't use it anyway. ”
"You don't need it, aren't you elves afraid of miasma?"
"Not to mention miasma, in general, we elves can purify things that are polluted in nature to a certain extent, otherwise how can we say that elves are the darlings of nature?" Kara's words are only half right, the purification of some things is actually a talent that only yellow elves can have, but because Kara has never seen other low-level elves, she mistakenly thinks that all elves are like this.
"Heaven is unfair, why can't any talent fall on human beings?" a little mage who did not know the deep meaning of the Creator rose up with compassion.
It seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding, and the people of the entire post station were all busy on this day. It seems that they are all preparing to enter the dungeon early tomorrow morning.
