Chapter 84: The Beginning of the Contradiction (1)

As the largest mountain range "Alaris Mountains", which almost runs through the north and south of the continent, its abundant resources make all races on the Agra continent flock to it, even if there are countless magical beasts in it that threaten their lives at all times, they cannot be scared out.

And the forest of despair hidden deep in it, there are many precious medicinal herbs and various precious materials, which are innumerable. But on the other hand, it is precisely because the Forest of Despair is so dangerous that it makes countless powerful people tremble with it, that it has been able to preserve its precious resources.

The Forest of Despair is one of the five major Jedi in the Agra Continent, and the danger in it is that the soul rank powerhouses who are the top of the continent dare not go deep rashly. Because according to legend, there is a ninth-order demonic beast in the Forest of Despair, which is equivalent to a human demigod. However, in the Agra Continent today, there is no one demigod powerhouse, even if it is an eighth-order soul level powerhouse, the number is only a few dozen. Moreover, there are an unknown number of seventh-order and eighth-order demonic beasts in the Despair Forest, for humans, this is equivalent to nearly ninety percent of the people being turned away, not to mention that the density of seventh-order and eighth-order demonic beasts in the Despair Forest is far from comparable to other places, and I am afraid that I will encounter two or three Saint-rank demonic beasts in a day's walking, even if I am lucky enough to encounter only one, it is not far from death. Because, there is a saying in the Agra continent: "There are ants under the holy order". Although this sentence is too absolute, it can also be seen from it that the power of the Holy Order is by no means extraordinary. Therefore, the Holy Rank Demonic Beasts were almost impossible to compete with the crowd tactics, and the number of people entering the Desperate Forest could never be too large, otherwise it would cause too much movement. At that time, I am afraid that it will alarm more powerful Saint-rank Demonic Beasts, even Eighth-Order Demonic Beasts.

And even if it is a human powerhouse of the Holy Rank, there is little chance of winning against the Demonic Beasts of the Holy Rank. Because the demonic beasts are blessed with heaven and earth, the defensive power of the physical body is far beyond that of congenitally deficient humans, even if there is defensive equipment, the chances of winning against the upper holy rank demonic beasts are not great. In terms of consumption, the use of defensive equipment will undoubtedly increase consumption, not to mention that there are only a handful of defensive equipment that can resist the attacks of Saint-rank demonic beasts. In addition, all the demonic beasts that can reach the Holy Rank are no less intelligent than humans, so it is even more difficult to win at a disadvantage.

In fact, not only the Saint-level Demonic Beasts, but also other Demonic Beasts, there are very few people who can defeat them among the same level. And those who can be stronger than the same level of demonic beasts, in addition to the need for excellent weapons and equipment, their people are all experienced veterans or top geniuses of the human race.

As powerhouses who have reached the top of the human race, they will never put themselves in a desperate situation unless they have to. The strong people who have reached their position will inevitably bear the glory and disgrace of the family behind them, and if they make a mistake, they are likely to be doomed. Therefore, they are already at the top of the pyramid, even if they sit still, as long as they have nothing to do, the family and its vassals will have a solid backing, and they will develop well without worries.

All this, whether it is the strong who are in danger of their lives, or the ordinary people who are ordinary out of safety considerations, they dare not rush into the forest of despair. However, due to the uniqueness of the Forest of Despair, it is difficult to find human traces on its periphery, and the resources contained in it are also extremely valuable, slightly better than anywhere else, at least because the danger level is much lower, and there are many adventurers who dare to explore. It's just that, due to the danger, it is still much higher than the usual place, and for safety reasons, the number of adventurers who enter it in a group does not dare to be too large, so as not to cause a commotion and be attacked by a group of demonic beasts. Although Warcraft itself is a precious resource, it must also be done within one's means. As a result, the outskirts of the Forest of Despair have created a unique sight where the number of members of each adventurer team does not dare to exceed dozens.

And to the east of the Alaris Mountains, from south to north, dozens of miles away on the outskirts of the Forest of Despair, a tall city stood, like an ancient beast, lying in the middle of it.

Hundreds of meters outside the city, on the avenue, a group of five people are rushing here.

All five of them walked, but the speed was not slow, and the smoke and dust under their feet were often lifted, but the steps were already a few steps away.

Four men and one woman, all white-skinned and yellow-haired. The man in the middle is the oldest, with a large square face and a thick beard, about fifty years old, burly, nearly two meters tall, with armor all over his body, wearing a half-inch thick earthy yellow helmet on his head, and wearing iron hard boots under his feet. The armor on his body was full of scratches, and there were hidden unwashed blood marks, which looked like he was in a hurry and didn't have time to deal with it. However, compared to the armor attached to his whole body, the giant sword that was nearly a foot wide and the wide shield that he was carrying behind him were even more shocking and terrifying.

Carrying such a heavy weight, walking is as easy as drinking water, and its strength can be seen.

A group of five people in a hurry, but their words were quite pleasantly surprised. I saw a man about twenty years old in blue leather armor on the left in the middle, carrying an object wrapped in blue cloth in his hand, and the outline of it looked like a two-foot square box. He pointed to the package in his hand and said to the elder in heavy armor: "Captain, this is the first mission that our mercenary team has taken since its establishment. After a slight pause, he said with a slightly obscene expression: "How about going to Silk Dance Paradise?" I heard that the service there is very thoughtful, and there is nothing bad about it. In the past, I had no money, and I studied in the academy, so I didn't have time. Now that it's rare to graduate, and we have money, let's go once! Captain?" After speaking, he looked at his so-called captain in the middle with very expectant eyes.

Who knows, before the captain spoke, the only woman to the right of the captain spoke, but her movements were faster than what she said, and the jade longbow that she had been dragging in her hand hit the head of the person who spoke just now with a "click", causing him to cry out in pain.

"Bilkao, if you dare to say in front of me again that you will go to Silk Dance Heaven, see that I will not abolish you. I just left the academy and wanted to go to that kind of place, it seems that I have misunderstood you before, I didn't expect you to be the same as those people. The woman who was about ten years old stared at Bilcao with a pair of beautiful eyes, pretended to be vicious and glared at the lectured Bilcou, and the longbow that had just been punched in her hand made a gesture of wanting to fight, which frightened the Bilcao and begged for mercy again and again.

"Amya, I don't dare, you have mercy. I know wrong. ”

The others next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the two men who looked almost the same and even dressed identically laughed the most, and even the angle of opening their mouths was almost the same, like a pair of twins. However, the twins opposite Bilcao didn't seem to think it was lively enough, so he continued to add to the fire: "Amya, you only know now! Ouch, it seems that you have been deceived by Bilcao for many years, do you not even know that he has passed?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, be careful that I kill you secretly. Bilco, who was a little anxious, threatened.

After speaking, he hurriedly explained to Amya: "Amya, don't listen to his nonsense, I have never done that, it's all his nonsense." Moreover, the idea of going to Silk Dance Heaven was also from Zard, I was just deceived by him and said it, you must believe me. His eyes were so sincere that he seemed to be about to dig out his heart and show her.

It's just that the twin, who had been standing next to Bilcao who hadn't spoken all this time, interjected: "Bilco, it's not what I said, what's the matter with me?

Bilcao turned his head blankly to look at the brother beside him, "Are you Zard?"

The brother in gray light armor nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"And you are Charlie?" said Bilko, looking at the other twin in his twenties, who was also wearing light armor and carrying a fiery red greatsword.

"Well, that's right!" said Charliet gloating.

"Oh! I'm going crazy, you two guys look too similar, you clothes are exactly the same, even the fighting spirit attribute is the same fire attribute, I think apart from the two of you, your parents can't tell you apart!" As soon as he said this, Bilcao thought of something, "Huh! No, captain, how did you distinguish between the two of them?"

Seeing that the topic was leading to his head again, the captain in heavy armor replied with a smile: "I can't tell which of the two of them is who." ”

"How is that possible? I see you didn't miss the assignment. Bilcao looked incredulous, thinking that the captain was playing tricks on himself like the two twins.

"It's true, why am I lying to you? I really can't tell which of them is who? I always call names when I assign tasks, have you ever seen me call someone by name?" explained the captain with a smile, not in the slightest annoyed by Bilko's questioning.

Hearing the captain's answer, Bilkoe touched his chin and thought about it, and remembered that the captain really didn't point to one of them by name.

"It seems that this is really the case!" After figuring it out, Bilcao was instantly impressed by the captain's wisdom, if he hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid he would still think that the captain would still be able to clearly distinguish between the two twins, who is Charde and who is Charlie!

At this time, I realized that Bilcao was not the only one, but Amya and the two twins also had an afterthought on their faces, and suddenly realized their expressions.

"Captain, you are so cunning!" said Amia coquettishly to the captain.

"Haha! What's the matter, it's you who are thinking about the problem too much, and I've only known the two of them for a few days, how can I tell who is who so quickly!"

"Hey, Captain, weren't you afraid that it would be embarrassing to call the wrong name when you recruited them?" asked Bilcao curiously.

"Haha! If you call them wrong, you will get them all drunk, and when you wake up they will forget about it. The captain said with a smile and nonchalant. There doesn't seem to be a problem that wine can't solve.

It's just that after hearing the captain's words, the four mercenary novices who had just graduated had frightened expressions on their faces. The four of them looked at each other, especially with the two twins, very solemnly, as if to say: "In the future, if the captain makes a mistake, don't let him find out that he is wrong, understand?"

The four of them reached an agreement in a silent but tacit eye contact. This result was obviously forced out by the captain. The four newcomers still dare not forget the boldness of their captain when he drank. After recruiting the four of them and setting up a mercenary team, as the captain, I had a good banquet for the four of them.

It was in a dimly lit bar, and even the smell inside was muddy.

It was precisely because of the banquet a few days ago that they deeply understood that the sea of fire on the sword mountain was not as good as the wine that the captain put on the wine table. That kind of wine, the mouth is hot, after swallowing, if you want to burn through the heart and lungs, a wave of dry heat rushes straight to the brain, making people have a splitting headache. The terrible thing is that the captain who drinks an amazing amount of alcohol, after drinking a few glasses, the wine rises, and he has no intention of showing mercy to the four sprouts, and if he doesn't drink it, he wants to drink the penalty wine, and he will pour it directly, and even Amya, who is a woman, has not escaped the poison. The poor four had just graduated at the time, and they had no experience in it, so they were forced to fall to the ground. In the end, it was the captain who carried the four of them back, which was also a loss to the captain with amazing strength, otherwise if any of the four of them were replaced, they would really not be able to carry it. Therefore, after getting the things for this mission, the three male Meng Xin thought that they must stay away from the chaff bar, and planned to let their captain take them to a silk dance paradise. Of course, this kind of thing must be avoided when discussing it.

After the captain finished speaking, there was a sudden silence, and he felt a strange aura in the air. However, he didn't think too much about it. After seeing that the four novice mercenaries were determined to succeed in this mission, he knocked them down in order to knock them down, and said: "Don't be too happy, this task we take this time is a shared task, and it is also a task that anyone can take, in case someone hands in the task one step ahead of us, then the task will be over, and the things in our hands now will not be valuable." So as long as we haven't handed in the task, we can't relax. ”

"What? is there such a thing?" the four of them were all shocked, they didn't expect that the commission they had received would be in danger of disappearing, and they didn't care about anything else for a while, and rushed towards the city gate that was already close at hand.

"Oh! That's what I said. The ones who have to hand in the tasks are either ahead of us or behind us. Now that there is no one in front of us or behind us, what are you anxious about. Really. Young people are just too easily impetuous, and they have to go through the experience again. The captain, who was already lagging behind, sighed helplessly.

A moment later, after handing over five copper coins, the five entered the huge city.

And not long after they entered, a group of more than a dozen people came to the city gate, and some of them were a little dragged, and several of them who were behind were wearing colors, and they were obviously not lightly injured.

"Curt, give me the things, I'll hand in the task first, this time our losses are too great, if someone else preempts it, I'm afraid we will lose money." A man in his thirties dressed in silver light armor said to a young man holding a blood-stained package in his hand who was still paying the entrance fee.

"Okay, brother, you don't have to worry, I don't believe that our team has spent so much effort, and there will be someone who will complete the task before us. The young man, whose face was still dripping blood, handed over the package in his hand and said confidently.

"That's what I said, but just in case, I still hurriedly handed over the task first, you arrange all the injured, and you can also take care of the wounds. So as not to leave any hidden dangers, which will affect the improvement of strength in the future. Do you understand, I'll go first!" With that, the silver-armored man walked briskly towards the city.
