Since leaving the Legation that night, he has never been a teaching assistant or to the Royal Library.

He just hid quietly in the courtyard, practicing his hand armor all the time.

Eat when you're hungry, drink water when you're thirsty, and sleep in the yard for hours when you're sleepy.

As for being tired, he couldn't care about being tired.

......

Today is the tenth day of the agreement between Gale and Paul Sr., and Gale has not had a good time in these ten days, and no one can understand his tangled heart.

But today he had to go to Paul Sr. It was still the winding alley, and Gale knocked on the black wooden door, as he had agreed with old Paul.

......The wooden door opened, still opened by the silent child, and Gail found the long-awaited old Paul in the secret room.

"Haha! You're here Gail, and you're really punctual, it seems that this man's information is very important to you, you won't blame me for a while, will you?"

"It's 50,000 gold coins, that's a good money. Gail handed Paul Sr. a few magic tickets, but there was no distress in his eyes.

"Don't say that, you don't know how hard I've tried, but the intelligence dealers over there have squeezed me so hard that I don't have a few gold coins left. It's all for you, and if it were anyone else, I wouldn't do the chore. ”

Old Paul pretended to be angry and blew his beard and glared, and then handed Gail a piece of letterhead that had been folded and held in place with fire paint.

"The guy over there sent you two, have you read them?" asked Gale as he took the letter.

"I said you wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it, wouldn't you? Besides, I don't want to be deceived by others, who knows if those guys have seriously investigated. 、

Hey, you're not going to kill people, are you? Damn errand, I knew there was going to be a day. ”

Old Paul spread his hands, and his expression simply showed the panic to the extreme.

Gale didn't pay attention to old Paul's exaggerated performance, just stared at the letter in his hand waiting for him to open. The hesitation and struggle in Gail's eyes kept changing.

"You know, I'm not supposed to talk too much as a seller, but I still think you should put that thing down. Is he your new twilight buddy?"

Old Paul put away his playful smile and asked with some seriousness. It seems that he doesn't know much about Gail.

Gail didn't speak, nodded, or shake his head. I just pinched the letter, and the tighter I clenched it, and my hand was trembling slightly.

When old Paul saw Gail's appearance at this time, he was even more sure of his thoughts. So he stepped forward and patted his shoulder lightly and said:

"I'm not going to tell you what's in this letter. You decide to look at it, just open it. If you decide not to look at it, you tear it up in front of me.

That's your life, and I don't have the right to accuse you, but I tell you from the experience of someone who came before that there should never be a third way. ”

Gail, who was just about to leave, stood in a daze for a moment when he heard old Paul's words. Paul Sr. could tell that Gale was still struggling.

Just as Paul Sr. was about to say something, Gale closed his eyes, then silently stuffed the crumpled letter into his arms, and turned and walked out of the secret room.

"Alas......" came the sigh of old Paul from behind.

Gale was not in the mood to look at the scenery on either side of the street all the way, and old Paul's sigh became the most important weight, tilting the scales slightly in favor of the other.

When he got back to the dormitory, he had decided not to read the letter anymore, but instead of tearing it up, he just opened a drawer and threw it in.

Perhaps at this time, he did not think about what this third path would bring him in the future.

......

Time flies in a blink of an eye, and half a month has passed since the bone got the hand armor. Almost every day, Bone finds time to fight Gail.

Gale is indeed a good martial arts instructor, he is very good at teaching others, and he is very patient. Maybe it's just that he's very patient with the bones.

From initially being able to hold out for about ten minutes with Gale using only his long sword, he was now able to force Gael to use his short sword once in a while.

At this moment, Gail would use his long whip. As long as the long whip is forced to strike, that is when the skull fails. Of course, these are all on the premise that both sides are up to the point.

Gale was impressed by the progress of the bone, saying that the bone's natural ability to fight hand-to-hand, and his physical gifts gave him unparalleled potential. Of course, it's only in hand-to-hand combat.

As for the learning of the other weapons of the bones, in Gail's words, the heavens seem to have put all your talents on your hands, and your other weapon talents are simply rotten.

Gale taught him the skills of using the three weapons that he was good at: the long sword, the short sword, and the long whip.

But the bones can only be beginners, and there is still a long way to go before they are proficient. Of course, this is all Gale's view of himself.

For hand-to-hand combat, Gale is indeed proficient. As for the spear that Chibone's second best at, I'm sorry, Gale doesn't know anything, so I really can't teach him.

Chi Bone didn't spend the time practicing the two-handed sword he was interested in, and Gail, who wasn't a strength type, wasn't good at it. And Grassbone already felt that it was enough to trouble Gail, and didn't want him to trouble Taryn again. Besides, there is not much time left for him.

During this time, Chi Gu focused all his energy on martial arts. Since there was no equipment suitable for exercising muscle strength, and the meat of the demonic beast had already increased the strength of the bone very little, of course, he did not have spare money to buy it.

So during this time there was hardly the slightest increase in his strength.

On this day, Chi Bone had just finished sparring with Gail. The endurance of the Worm Bone was so terrible that Gail had to use the long whip around his waist to trip him to end the fight.

Gael's whip flicked, and it circled around his hand like a python's tail a few times, and then hung it back on his waist.

Gale sat on the ground with no image, panting, and watched with some envy as the skull that had tripped over the whip and flipped up, not even breathing half a minute.

"I've watched a few missions recently, I may not be able to do it alone, do you want to go with me? Gail said suddenly.

Chi Bone was stunned, he didn't expect Gail, who had always been cautious, to invite him to join the team so soon.

Worm wasn't stupid, and he guessed that Gail's extra attention to him must be due to his neighbors. It's likely that I'm watching him and want to team up with him. It's just that Chi Gu didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Chi Bone has decided to start the mission in the next few days, and he is also thinking about how to invite Gail, but he is afraid that his refusal will hurt the harmony between the two.

He thought that he would meet Gail's tactful refusal, and he thought that Gail's would agree to him, but he didn't think that Gale would invite him first.

"Of course, when to go?"

Chi Bone's tone was a little excited, he was not the kind of person who was very good at hiding his attitude, which was also the advantage that all those who knew Chi Gu liked.

"Come with me to the mercenary union to see the mission first, maybe there will be new progress in the past two days. ”

Seeing that the skull agreed, Gail rarely showed an excited look.

The Devil Bone came to Gail, stretched out his right hand to Gail, who was still sitting on the ground, and said in the most solemn tone, "I will not fail your trust, brother!"

Gail was stunned for a moment, and then he also stretched out his right hand, holding the hand of the chick bone tightly, and said in the same solemn tone: "Me too, brother!"

Then the skull strained and pulled Gail up.

Just do it, the two of them didn't talk nonsense, packed up their clothes, and Gale led the bones to the nearest carriage and horse shop to the Imperial Academy.

Not everyone has their carriage ready at all times. The carriage needs to be repaired, it needs to be oiled, the horses need to be cared for, and they need to be fed. These are all heavy and troublesome things, so there is the business of carriage and horse dealers.

The more prosperous the place, the more car dealers, where you can rent horse-drawn carriages and coachmen, as well as good fast horses.

There are even some large carriage and horse shops that can hire coolies and guards. This kind of business does bring a lot of convenience to mercenaries and merchants.

Gail did not rent a carriage, firstly because the carriage was too slow, but almost all coachmen would not do tasks with mercenaries for the sake of their lives.

Ordinary horses only cost one silver coin a day, and even cheaper ones are available. A better war horse may cost anywhere from one gold coin to a hundred gold coins a day.

There are also war horses with Warcraft blood, but that's not cost-effective, except for the wealthy nobles or people in a hurry, no one will choose them.

Of course, in order to prevent the tenant from going back, a deposit of twice the price of the horse is essential.

Gail chose a horse for ten gold coins a day, and a horse for a hundred gold coins a day for Chi Bone, and it is said that this horse has a trace of the blood of the Warcraft Wind Shadow Horse.

This trip will take five days, to say the least, and you can buy two good horses at this price.

But it can't be helped, the skull is too heavy, although in terms of stature, it looks like the skull is only a little bigger than Gail. By normal human standards, there is a difference of about 30 kilograms at most.

But in reality, Gale weighed less than 100 kilograms, and the skull was more than three times Gail's weight, more than 300 kilograms, not to mention his pair of 500-kilogram hand armor.

A better war horse can only barely carry the bones, and if you want to run unscrupulously, it won't be long before the horse's life is killed. Only a war horse of the Demon Beast bloodline can withstand the test of the weight of the skull.

In the city of Verbo, unless you are a person of great status, you are not allowed to run on the main street, and if you are seen by the city guards, you will definitely be arrested and locked up for a few days.

The two of them rode on their horses and took small steps to the mercenary union. This is the second time the two have come to the mercenary union together.

Looking at the statue of the legendary warrior Otis erected in the small square, the scene of the two acquaintances is as if it just happened yesterday. Bone and Gail looked at each other and smiled, and dismounted.

"Just give them the horse, but don't forget to tip, or don't blame them for selling your horse." ”

Gale took the reins from the bone's hand and handed it to the attendants who had come up at the door, who also did the groom's work.

Gale tossed two more silver coins that had been prepared. He knew that these people were children of poor families, so he never skimped on this.

"These kids who lead horses and earn tips are from poor families. Parents can't afford to support themselves, so they can only come out to earn a little money, which is better than being a beggar, and they will be exploited by those scoundrels.

But the horse is safe with them, and there are rules for this, and the horse will never be lost when it is handed over to them. Otherwise, there are a lot of people here, and there are many people who steal chickens and dogs. Gail's eyes showed sympathy.

Chi Gu has seen the slums in the northern city, and the empty eyes of those poor people are still vivid. He was not born into a poor family like Gail. There are no poor or rich people in the tribe, and after coming to Xavier, they have lived a particularly prosperous life because of the relationship between the Green family.

But he understands the feeling of starvation, and the winter in the tribe is the hardest, and there are always old people who starve to death in order to leave a bite to eat for their children.
