"Teacher, what is this?"
In the convoy, Charlene looked at Mo Jun with some curiosity, who was looking down and playing with two palm-sized cards?????????..
"It's just a toy." Mo Jun put away the cards, felt the bumps and noises made by the board cart as it moved, and asked a little boredly, "How far is it?" ”
"It's almost there, and Mr. Hérault has already started to arrange for manpower to clean up the neighborhood." Charlene's gaze kept sweeping over Mo Jun, and the mercenary girl's eyes kept flashing with a certain look, as if the man in front of her had some kind of magic. Mo Jun was a little uncomfortable by such a gaze, so he had to hold Charlene's head and said helplessly.
"Haven't you ever seen a man, little girl."
"I'm an adult, teacher!" Xia Lin covered Mo Jun's big hand on his head with both hands, and said excitedly: "It's the first time I've seen a powerful man like you, it's a whole team of predators!" Among them are dangerous bandits who have reached the level of a marauder, and you have killed them in such a short period of time! ”
"A group of rangers with iron pipes are just scattered." Mo Jun said indifferently.
"In fact, the strength of the bandits who can form a looting convoy can already walk sideways in this area." Charlene sighed, "The raider convoy will patrol and hunt from one gathering place to another, they are more ferocious and brutal than mutant wolves, and the team you eliminate must have a high bounty in a big city." ”
"If this bounty can bring me something more delicious, then maybe I'll be a little interested." Mo Jun squinted, his eyelids twitched slightly when he heard "mutant wolf", and then he shifted his gaze to the front of the convoy and said in a low voice.
"Looks like we've gotten somewhere."
Under the setting sun, the ruins of the city of Aelos are shrouded in a thin red veil, and the ruins of the broken walls that have been baptized by the years set off a faint tragedy and desolation under the bizarre sky.
The arrival of the migrants broke the silence of the area, and the hustle and bustle of people added a lively atmosphere to the long-dormant city of Elos. The members of the camp hurriedly removed all kinds of items and equipment from their vehicles, and they wanted to set up a simple camp before nightfall.
"Grease the firewood and make the campfire burn!"
Hérault stood in place, shouting loudly and commanding the people around him.
"Keep your tent as close to the fire as possible, and take care of the fire! Whoever stains the tent with a little spark, I'll make him swallow a whole stick of red charcoal!" ”
"Hurry up and put up a fence and block off junctions and trails - I know this stuff won't protect against bullets, but at least it's enough to give the enemy a headache for a few seconds!"
Perhaps feeling a little dry in his throat, Ero gasped for breath and scrambled to find a place to sit down. As soon as he sat down, a cup full of water was handed to him.
"You can see that these people trust you very much." Mo Jun sat down beside Ero, handed him the water, and said, "You are a qualified leader. ”
"Thank you." Ero poured a few sips of water violently, the overflowing water beads scurrying on his beard, he looked at the cup in surprise, and said: "I haven't drunk such clean water for a long time, and in a small place like ours that doesn't have a large water filtration plant, the maximum amount of water that can be drunk is smaller." You got pure water from the big city? ”
"Well, sort of." Mo Jun was stunned, and didn't dare to say that this was 10 points that could be exchanged for a whole box of Master Kong's mineral water.
"You don't seem like a local." Ero carefully drank every drop of water from the water glass, then took a long breath of relief, stretched, and said, "It's more like those scholars and priests who live in the city, but Charlene said that you single-handedly managed a mad crystal tooth, which is a feat that many old hunters have not been able to do." ”
"I only traveled here a few days ago." Mo Jun followed Ero's words and made up: "It just so happened that near Eros City, I ran into Charlene and them who were in danger, as for the Crazy Crystal Fang, I couldn't kill it, and it didn't kill me, it was just a draw, didn't it?" ”
"Haha, interesting." As if he had heard something happy, Ero laughed and patted Mo Jun on the shoulder, "It's good to be young, maybe one day, those guys who play the piano and sing in the bar will weave your own legends, and then let those big girls and little daughters-in-law who listen to it blush and pay for it." ”
"I hope so." Mo Jun remembered the North Lane Tavern, although he didn't go often, he had heard some rumors from Ian and Idric, who had been hanging out here all year round. Maybe one day, when he reaches Blazing, Bai Xun and even stronger, there will be people in the North Lane Tavern who will talk about his deeds.
"I'm old, I just like to say some preachy things, don't care." Hérault staggered to his feet and walked towards the busy camp.
"Why is that area still dark? Light a bonfire for me, and I want to see the light of fire in every corner of the camp! ”
Mo Jun looked at Ero's somewhat rickety back, and gradually narrowed his eyes, and the evening breeze with the smell of dust swept past him, a little cool, but not biting. In the perception far beyond the rest of the people, Mo Jun could hear the whispering of the wind, mixed with a little deliberately suppressed and scattered howls.
"Charlene, I'll help you."
On the other side of the camp, a young man with a strong body picked up a few pipes and helped Charlene set up a tent. The mercenary girl wiped her dirty cheeks with her hands and smiled at the young man.
"Thank you, Ronna."
The strong guy named Rona was deeply attracted by the girl's pure and gorgeous smile, and then he looked away a little embarrassed, tilted his head sideways and said.
"No, you're welcome, by the way, I've heard about Captain Ain..."
If Mo Jun was here, he would definitely scoff at what this young man said—he would know that it would not comfort people at a glance, and if he came up, he would poke at people's pain points?
"I will carry on the captain's last wishes."
Sure enough, Charlene's face was a little gloomy after hearing this, she interrupted Ronna's clumsy comfort, and said in a firm tone: "I believe that Captain Ain wants us to cheer up more than to be sad because of his departure." ”
"Charlene." Rona looked at the girl with some obsession, he was deeply in love with this mercenary girl because of Charlene's strength and heroic posture during the battle, he hesitated for a moment, looked around, and found that no one was approaching, before whispering.
"That's... I've convinced my dad that he agrees that I'm free to choose my career, and I want to... Can you join your mercenary squad! You know, I have the strength and I can endure hardships, how about it? ”
"I'm glad you had this idea." Charlene's tone was a little happy, the explorer team was now seriously injured, and someone needed to fill the vacancy, and her voice became cheerful: "Of course, if you want to join our mercenary team, just go to Vice Captain Heather to sign up, you only need to fill out a few registration forms, and you can become our closest comrade-in-arms." ”
But I want to be your closest...
Rona clenched his fists and said with some excitement: "Can't I just tell you?" We've been playmates since we were kids, so we should be able to avoid those formalities. ”
"I'd love to host your induction ceremony myself." Charlene shook her head with some regret, a tall figure appeared in her mind, and said softly: "But unfortunately, I may have to leave the team for a while, maybe for a long time." ”
"Leave?! You're getting out of here?! Rona was a little stunned, he stepped forward to hold the girl's shoulders, and asked emotionally, "Where are you going?" Are you going to give up your comrades? ”
"I'm going to. In order to gain more power. Ronna's clenched palm made Charlene's shoulder feel a little pain, and she pushed Rona away in a panic, and her eyes involuntarily looked towards a man looking around.
"Strength?!" Rona only felt that his brain was churning, his eyes began to be bloodshot, and he was keenly aware of the girl's gaze, so Mo Jun's figure came into his field of vision.
"I've got other things to do, so I'll go first."
Sensing that something was wrong with Ronna's state, Charlene left the scene in a hurry, she didn't know why her former friend had become so impulsive, but she didn't know that she had ignited a powder keg in the heart of a male in heat.
"It's the liar who lied that he could single-handedly pick out Mad Crystal Fang, and he actually dared to hit Charlene's attention... Yes, Charlene must have been deceived by his rhetoric, just as he deceived Lord Harrow... I must let him show his true colors as a clown! ”
"Here they are."
Mo Jun felt the chill and murderous intent gradually spreading in the air, and took the cup to himself, and drank the liquid in it. Got up, drew his sword, and walked towards the entrance and exit of the camp with improvised barricades.
"Whew-"
"This voice...", who was directing the construction of the camp, heard the change of color, he rushed to a high platform, and looked through the light of the bonfire and the moon, only to see that there were many shadowy figures around the camp constantly moving, judging from the dexterous steps, and the previous roar, this was...
"Mutant wolf packs! Damn, I knew these things weren't going to allow anyone else to take over their territory! Hérault slammed the alarm bell that had just been erected, and then yelled at all the terrified camp residents.
"Enemy attack! Wolves are coming! Everyone immediately took up arms and defended the camp! ”
