Chapter 148: An Interracial Woman
Achill has been very upset recently, he came to the mercenary town at the behest of his grandfather to form his own wolf mercenary group, but before he officially explored the forest, he was killed by Lin Qian's trick to kill chickens and monkeys, and seeing Elena's attitude towards himself, he was even more angry and drank a lot of stuffy wine.
Before that, he had never drunk alcohol, which was forbidden by Porterem, but this place was thousands of miles away from the Azure City, and no one would care about him even if he was drunk.
"Commander, tomorrow's action...... Is it as usual?" asked a mercenary who had a decent position in the regiment.
Of course, this is not a long time coming. Archer replied with a wide tongue.
"But you ......," the mercenary stopped.
"Isn't it just a drink? what's the big deal. After Achill finished speaking, he poured another glass, and it seems that he will not be drunk today.
"Then I'll go back and prepare first. The mercenary shook his head, regretting that he had joined the group.
Achill continued to eat and drink, but although he was dazed, he never collapsed.
"What's the point of drinking alone? Why don't I accompany you?" an elegant voice came, attracting the attention of the drinkers around him. It was a woman in a jet-black cloak, with long blond hair poking out of her tight hood, proving that she was indeed a woman with a rare hair color.
Achill didn't even lift his eyelids, and ignored her, in his opinion, this was just a dusty woman.
The woman sat down gracefully, stretched out her white jade hand, snatched the flask from Achill's hand, poured herself a glass, and then took the glass and drank it down, but after drinking it, she frowned and coughed violently.
Achill was a little strange: "Your first time drinking?"
"No, it's just the first time I've drunk this wine. The woman's answer left Archill unable to guess.
"Who the hell are you? With your strength, it shouldn't be as simple as just asking me for a drink, right?"
"Sure enough, he is the heir of the Nanyang tribe, and his eyesight is very good. The woman whispered.
Achill glanced at the woman vigilantly, with flawless features and skin, but she couldn't tell her age, and she looked like a woman in her early 30s.
"Don't worry, we're supposed to be friends. The woman seemed not going to continue drinking, and began to talk about things.
"Friend, how can you see that?" Achill was wary, especially in the face of such a person who did not know the details.
"Because we all want to die alone. The woman's gaze looked at her, as if she had seen through Achill's heart.
"I'm sorry, I have no enemies. In this case, he doesn't even know the identity of the other party, and Archer naturally won't give it easily.
"Really?" the woman laughed, "Beloved women are tired of being in other people's arms all day long, don't you have a trace of hatred?"
"Who the hell are you?" Archer was a little angry, not many people knew about this, and this was his pain, how could he be mentioned indiscriminately.
"Didn't your grandfather tell you to find a special kind of person?" the woman looked at Archill with a calm face, as if she decided that he would not be angry.
"How do you know?" Archel panicked, if this matter was leaked, he was afraid that it would cause very serious consequences.
"Because I'm the one you're looking for. β
Achill was now half-awake from the wine, looked around cautiously, got up to settle the account, and immediately disappeared into the night with the woman.
"This woman is not simple. Ryan watched from afar, turned and walked into the halls of the Magic Guild.
Early the next morning, Achill woke up early, gathered all the mercenaries of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, and prepared to officially march to the Everfree Forest. This team, each with master-level magical equipment, crossed the canyon like an army, causing quite a stir.
"Where's your mercenary card?" Iman, who was guarding the canyon, stopped a woman beside Achill.
"Can't you see her strength?" Archer was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Qian's charging behavior, not to mention that he had to register.
"No matter how strong you are, you can't pass here without a mercenary card above level B!" Iman carried out the order meticulously, and with his strength, he would not be afraid of anyone.
"You ......" Achill didn't expect this guy to be so difficult, and wondered if he wanted to get a temporary card, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take this woman with him.
"What's going on?" Lin Qian rushed over when he heard the news.
Iman immediately quietly reported the situation to Lin Qian, and pointed back and forth with his hands on Achill and the woman beside him, very proud.
Archer raised his heart to his throat, thinking that Lin Qian was going to take the opportunity to retaliate this time, and if he didn't know that the identity of the woman would be exposed, he didn't expect Lin Qian to listen to the explanation for a long time, but he shouted "let go".
Achill and the woman looked at each other, relieved, and walked briskly into the canyon.
"Lin Qianβ" Iman was about to speak.
"Don't rush yet, take your time and see what they're going to do. Lin Qian stopped his question, looking at the woman's back in a daze.
As soon as the people of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group entered the Everfree Forest, they were destroyed and hunted, and the ecology here was seriously unbalanced, and the scorched black land was everywhere.
"If your home is destroyed like this, you know how much I hate him. The woman looked at the excited mercenaries around her and sighed with some emotion.
"Meryl, now that we're out of Lin Qian's territory, what should we do next?" Archill didn't know what the woman who had only seen her had planned.
"Your mercenary group is a good cover, we will go all the way to the depths of the forest, and when we get to the place, someone I have arranged will come to meet us. The woman known as Meryl said.
"How did your people get in?" Archier was still uneasy.
"Don't worry, I naturally have a way. β
The whole team did not pause at all, and kept walking deeper, as if they were going to directly challenge the ninth-level beast, which made the mercenaries excited, but they had no idea of the danger designed for them on the road ahead.
"Commander, it seems that the surroundings are all in the territory of the seventh-level fierce beast blue-horned beast, do you want to let the brothers rest for a while and catch some blue-horned beasts to taste the meat? I have been eating dry food for the past few days, and many of them are ...... It's a bit of a glutton. A mercenary stepped forward to report the situation.
Archer didn't answer, but looked at Meryl on the side, and saw her frowning, as if disgusted by the mercenary's words.
"Forget it, let's move on, and rest when we get to the place of the ninth-level beast. β
The mercenary was slightly disappointed, glanced at the woman beside Achill, and stumbled back.
"If this continues, they will all have to doubt the purpose of this time. Archill said with some displeasure. This woman seems to have feelings for all beasts of prey, and does not want them to hunt anything.
"It's coming, it's going to be two days away, and I've already received a notice from my subordinates. Meryl saw Achill's impatience and told him the deadline.
"I hope you've arranged everything, otherwise no one will be able to control this group of mercenaries if they go crazy. Achill said angrily.
Two days later, when the group arrived at a lake, Meryl quietly signaled to Arcier that the plan had begun.
"Listen!" Archer gave the order for the first time in days, causing all the mercenaries to crane their necks and listen.
"Set up camp and hunt near here. β
As soon as the mercenaries heard that there was work to be done, they immediately divided into groups of three or five, some were responsible for setting up camp, some were responsible for going out to search, and some were looking for prey in the vicinity, and they were very busy.
Meryl looked at the group of mercenaries, and a sneer couldn't help but appear on the corner of her mouth.
In the evening, the mercenaries in charge of hunting basically returned, bringing back a lot of prey, including crystal nuclei in the hands of Achill, and the rest of the meat was set up on a fire and began to be roasted and eaten.
"Why haven't you done it yet?" Achill was a little anxious, would Meryl's plan work?
"It's already started. Meryl looked at a group of "mercenaries" with tall cloaks, who gave her a mysterious smile back.
"That's your guy? That's how you got in. Achill suddenly said that this Li Dai Tao's plan was quite simple.
Meryl shook her head: "It's not over yet, the number of people in your group is fixed, and a few of them are easy to be recognized by outsiders, and there is a plan for the next step." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave suddenly rolled on the calm surface of the lake, as if something was about to emerge from the water.
"Quick! Prepare for battle!" the mercenaries were surprised, if there were no beasts here.
The waves grew bigger and bigger, like a huge fountain, spraying upwards incessantly, making people constantly guess how big the beast really was.
"Look! the head is out, like a snake!" someone shouted.
"Do you want to attack?"
"Don't worry, wait until it's all out. β
"It looks like it has legs, it's a lizard!"
"Is there a lizard that big? It's only half exposed!"
As soon as the giant lizard emerged from the water, it stretched out its two thick forelimbs and tried to climb ashore, attracting a siege from the mercenaries, but there was no sign of any striking on its slippery skin.
"This guy...... It looks like a ninth-level beast!" A round of attacks had no effect, and some magicians with slightly higher strength immediately made a judgment.
"Then what are you waiting for? Concentrate your attack, this is our primary goal!" the mercenaries were busy, flying into the air to cast various spells.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Achill knew that Meryl's deliberate arrangement of the beast was not simple, and he couldn't figure out her purpose.
"Cut down on unnecessary burdens, and give us an excuse to go back. Meryl looked at one of her companions, a petite figure who was reverently chanting a spell.
"Burden?" Achill was a little angry, "When did the mercenaries I worked so hard to recruit become a liability?"
Meryl didn't care about the life and death of these mercenaries, and sneered: "Except for a few, the strength of the others is not worth mentioning, and it is barely enough to be a bait." β
"You...... Don't go too far!" Archer was upset with her attitude.
"These people have nothing to do with you, let alone avenge you, so why should you care?"
"Don't think I don't know, you're just taking the opportunity to slaughter aliens, and I'm more and more suspicious of your purpose. β
