Chapter 395: No Progress
Everything was arranged, and Soros walked out of the hotel.
The main purpose of his arrival was to give Frank a "great mission" that directly related to the happiness of the rest of his life. But I have to say that the content of this "great mission" is really old-fashioned, and it can be directly summed up in four words - heroes save beauty.
This "great mission" came from Soros's idea. He wanted Frank's mercenaries to act as horse thieves and stop the noble lady's ranks. As for Pique, naturally he will act as the hero who saves beauty in the end.
Of course, the end result was that the "horse thief" was too strong and drove the team of the noble lady back to the peaceful town. And the noble lady in the team, didn't she stay here?
After listening to their mission, the experienced mercenaries not only did not hesitate, but instead showed an eager expression. Even after Soros finished talking about the whole content, they were already discussing what lines they should say then.
It was not until last that they found that they did not have a war horse, and how could a good horse thief not have a war horse?
After being rewarded with a large number of gold coins from Zhu Tian before, there had been a huge change unconsciously.
"I wonder if I can buy a few Odin horses from Peace Town?" said the nasty ghost at the time.
Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, their net worth was different now than before. In the past, where did they rush to mention the words "Odin War Horse"? Selling them may not be worth as much as Odin's War Horse.
At this time, not to mention the three hundred gold coins that each person received after they completed Zhu Tian's task. Just talking about the "treasure" under the bed of the current regiment commander, they don't have to worry about gold coins from now on! Because the "treasures" under the regiment commander's bed are worth 100,000 gold coins!
Yes, the head of the horse thief Sisoo was still in their hands, and as a result, they had to buy a large amount of embalming potions to keep it fresh. Otherwise, Sisoo's head would rot, and they would have no gold to collect. After this mission is completed, it is necessary to go to the royal capital once to receive the high bounty, and at that time, the Timberwolves mercenary group that has made great contributions to the eradication of Sisoo will be famous on the mainland. In fact, in the fermentation of these days, their reputation is already extremely loud. After sending Sisoo's head to the royal capital, the status of their Timberwolf mercenary group will definitely rise to a new level.
The existence of the mercenary group is completely free-range for Zhu Tian, and the mercenary group has really helped Pique and Zhu Tian a lot these days, and Zhu Tianpike mentioned two days ago that it is time for the mercenaries to leave the peaceful town.
At this time, Zhu Tian was still climbing the gravity stone steps in the Tower of the Dead, so Pique took matters into his own hands and asked the mercenaries to go directly to the south after carrying out this mission. Many mercenaries were in favor of this decision, with the exception of Frank.
All the mercenaries knew that Frank wanted to stay in the town of peace and stay by Zhu Tian's side. So when Frank muffled his decision to leave the Timberwolves mercenary group, everyone didn't express any shock.
They knew that the former regiment commander had never come out of the self-blame for the death of his teammates.
Everyone has their own way, except for the nasty ghost who complained twice, everyone else was silent, and some things could not be forced. It's a big deal to return to the southern royal capital and come back after receiving a huge bounty, and it's not like you'll never see each other. Maybe then their former leader, Frank, will change his mind.
Although they have enjoyed their lives by Mr. Bluehat's side, they have not forgotten who they are and what they wanted to do when they decided to become a mercenary.
Adventure is their mission.
Life in Peaceful Town is very comfortable, and it may be a good place to settle down, but as a group of mercenaries with the blood of adventurers, their hearts are actually itching. Frank could have calmed down and stayed here, but their hearts were tickling. After all, the place of Peace Town is too small, and there is no good place to spend gold coins, no matter how much there is a flower willow street like Yosun City, their hearts will not be so impetuous.
Finally, before Peake leaves the hotel, let Frank think about it again.
However, they said directly: "I like the life of a mercenary, I like to take risks, but taking risks is not the same as harming people's lives, I will stay by your side and learn wisdom from you, when I think I will not kill others again, I may leave." ”
What gave Pique a bit of a headache was that this guy kept calling himself master, which made him very uncomfortable. Regarding how to arrange Frank, Zhu Tian didn't tell him. So, Pique had no choice but to let him go.
It was late at night, and Pique returned to the lumber yard.
When he walked through the door, he had a very strange feeling. Instead of returning to his low house or going to the production room, he went straight to the main building and opened the door to Ryder's bedroom.
Black hole, quiet.
Candles and oil lamps were lit and the dim glow illuminated this bedroom.
Not a single one.
The beds and tables were neatly tidied up, and everything seemed to have been cleaned.
What about the mandalas?
Peake looked at everything around him in confusion, and was sure again that they had taken everything.
Are they all gone?
Without saying goodbye, it seems that they are not satisfied with the work arranged for them by Zhu Tian.
Tomorrow we have to get up early, and the food of the mute slave workers must be arranged for them, and they must find someone to block the mandala and their space.
Peake didn't say anything about the mandala's farewell, he had neither blame nor resentment, just like Frank, everyone has the right to make their own choices. Pique has such an attitude towards life, and he respects the choices of all people.
Using mental power to make sure that grandfather and Ryder were already asleep in their own room, Peake didn't go in to disturb them,
Lying directly on Ryder's bed, he smelled a fragrance. "Don't go," Soros said, "it's the body scent of those girls, how nice it is to fall asleep smelling it." ”
"I don't like it. Peake walked out of Ryder's bedroom and into the corner of the production room.
......
......
When he reappeared on the fourth floor of the Tower of the Dead, he found that Zhu Tian was still climbing the gravity stone steps.
It's been a day, hasn't he gone up yet?
I saw Squeak sitting there bored, playing with his bony fingers. When he saw Pique and Soros climb up, he immediately stood up from the ground.
"Where is it?"
Before Pique could speak, a black mist suddenly exploded in front of him.
For a moment, the prince squeaked and hid behind Peake. Not only Squeak, but even the Grand Duke Soros, who was still surprised by the outside world just now, also changed his face, and was hiding behind the prince Squeak at this time.
In this way, the three of them stood together like sugar gourds.
"It's not that scary. Peake shrugged.
"You don't know its strength yet?" said a shrill creaking voice.
"Rest assured, it won't attack you. Peake looked at the Gold Eater that jumped out of the black fog and smiled, "The two of them are my friends, please don't hurt them." ”
Hearing this, the Gold Swallowing Beast rubbed its two small purple paws, and glanced thoughtfully at Grand Duke Soros and the prince squeaked.
Suddenly, the staggering creak stopped shaking, and Soros behind him stood straight.
As if agreeing with Pique's words, the Gold Eater nodded.
Seeing this scene, both Crunch and Soros breathed a sigh of relief, only to see the Gold Swallowing Beast jumping up and running towards the bottom of the gravity stone steps.
"Where did it go?" asked Queak, with a sigh of relief.
"Maybe it's the money monster who blackmailed the money. Soros voiced his guess.
At this moment, a black shadow walked down from the gravity stone steps.
It was Zhu Tian, but seeing his gloomy face, the lingering aura of the undead was wafting all over his body, and it was almost substantial!
Completely ignoring Pique's arrival, he calmly walked towards the sealing stone gate on the fourth floor.
"In your current state, you can't suck the breath of the dead anymore. Clumker reminded behind him.
Zhu Tian's footsteps stopped, but he was only stunned for a moment, and he walked towards the stone gate again.
Queak shook his head and said, "Alas, he's tried hundreds of times, what a boring guy!"
Peake froze. Worried, he was secretly worried. Didn't you get up after hundreds of attempts?" "How far is it?" he asked, "I think I'm almost close to the fifth floor." ”
"The first few times, he climbed an extra stone staircase, and the next hundreds of times, he didn't make any progress. Every time he came down, he would inhale a little undead qi, and if he did this, he would kill himself sooner or later. ”
Hundreds of times without a little progress!?
If you don't despair, you'll be crazy!
"Do the undead die?" asked Peake. To be precise, Zhu Tian should not be regarded as an undead, but after inhaling the breath of the undead, Zhu Tian seems to be no different from the undead.
"Of course! For the undead, the undead qi is like normal humans drinking water, human beings can't live without water, and the undead can't live without the replenishment of the undead qi.
Therefore, in the outside world, if the undead do not stay in a gloomy and bleak place like a cemetery or a battlefield, it will not be long before they will dissipate invisibly. Naturally, the qi of the undead is a great tonic for the undead. Every time you smoke a little bit, you will get an increase in strength.
But there is a limit to this. Human beings can't live without water, but they can't live if they drink too much water.
He sucked the breath of the undead like this, like pouring water into his stomach without dying, and sooner or later he would explode himself.
If he goes out with you, it will affect your mind. I have to say that at this time, Zhu Tian is not very sober......"
As he spoke, a strong undead aura suddenly emerged from the sealing stone door on the fourth layer. Zhu Tian followed closely and walked out of the sealing stone gate quickly.
"Zhu Tian!" Pique wanted to stop him, but at this time, Zhu Tian's pupils were pitch black, as if he hadn't heard anything, he walked quickly in front of Pique, and finally walked up the gravity stone steps.
"I advise you to get out of here," Queak said to Peake, "and you must not take him out today if you don't want the whole town of Peace to suffer." ”
Peake was stunned for a long time, standing there not knowing what he was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Tian walked down step by step, and after slowing down for a long time with his hands on the ground, he climbed up again.
Soros commented on the sidelines:
"He doesn't know that he is tired in his current state, but if he continues like this, his will will will be hurt, and he may end up becoming a madman......"
Crunch next to him:
"He's gone crazy now......"
