Chapter 1 The Town

As the sun was about to set, the town not far from the Ghost Forest welcomed the mercenaries who had returned from the Ghost Forest as usual today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sigur cursed, as if he wanted to get rid of the bad luck of the whole day, and greeted the relatives and friends of various monsters in the ghost forest with all kinds of foul language.

Behind him, who was tall, he was also followed by several straight mercenaries, looking at the eagle head badge on their chests, it was obvious that they were members of one of the famous mercenary groups in the mainland, the Wild Eagle.

When the other mercenaries saw this, they all consciously gave way to it.

"That's Sige, the tenth deputy leader of the Wild Eagle Mercenary Regiment, why did he come here to hunt for elves?"

"Hehe, you're late, you don't know, their Wild Eagle is the first mercenary group to arrive here with Fire Rose, but from the first day to now, they haven't found any clues of elves! On the contrary, a lot of manpower has been lost. ”

There are mercenaries talking in a whisper, but there is a sense of schadenfreude between the words.

Sieg raised his eyebrows and stopped, and the team members behind him knew that something was going to happen, and they all glanced at the mercenaries with pity.

Tsk, who told them when they were not picky, but they wanted to pick today, now, and this time?

You know, today Boss Sig not only let a popular clouded leopard escape, but also killed several brothers, now hearing these cool words, he naturally will not give up on his hot temper, these mercenaries just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun when the deputy head wanted to vent.

Sieg snorted, and the giant sword slammed into the ground, but its huge body galloped in front of the mercenaries in an instant at a speed that did not match his physique, and punched out, making a loud bang!

The mercenaries didn't even have a frightened expression, they spat blood from their mouths and crashed into the shop behind.

All of a sudden, the dust was flying, causing the rest of the people around to be terrified.

The shopkeeper coughed and walked out of the half-poured shop, helplessly and a little sad to look at his shop, but looked at the tall culprit, and then at his small body, he was suddenly silent, shrunk his head, and only thought that he was unlucky.

"Boy, how much is your shop, I'll pay you."

Sieg approached, looking condescendingly at the shopkeeper, who was smaller than him.

The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect him to be willing to compensate, so he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then reacted again, saying, "No, it's not much, just three gold coins!" ”

After hearing this, Sieg immediately pulled out the fainted mercenaries from the collapsed house, pulled out their pockets, and said, "No, these are for you, no need to look for them." ”

The shopkeeper held five gold coins in his hand, nodded and sent Sieg and the others away, but he also knew that these five gold coins would have to be returned when the three mercenaries woke up, unless he was not ready to do business here.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the girl's crisp laughter, and when he looked back, he saw six figures walking from the direction of the setting sun, and it was one of the short-haired brown girls who giggled.

You can tell who it is at a glance, the five-member team of the brave mercenary team has come to his shop to buy potions. In this team, except for the werewolf Chere and the human David, the three members are all teenagers and girls, so he has a deep memory.

But the woman who was gathered among them, he had never seen it. I remember that when a few of them entered the forest, there were five of them. And this town was the only way to enter the ghost forest, but he had never seen this woman.

Could it be that she came out of the ghost forest?

When the shopkeeper saw the woman's appearance clearly, his pupils constricted, and in an instant they became the pupils of a cat, and the pupils shrank straight into a line.

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, the corners of his mouth were hooked with evil anger, and he immediately returned to normal, and greeted him with a smile.

"Yo, Molika, you're back."

"Hehe, Brother Vinsay, come, I'll introduce you, this is Ash, the sister I just recognized!"

Morica smiled, and just now, she pleaded, or rather forced, to ignore Ash's opinion and recognize her as her sister.

"Hello, I'm Vinsay, the down-and-out owner of the little pharmacy, and welcome to the town."

Vince suddenly conjured a flower from behind his back to offer to Ash, causing Ash to scream in Ash's mind.

"Wow! Although he has some scum, he is a handsome guy! All that comes to Pink Jingjing's mind is the story of a down-and-out businessman in the novel who meets the princess and then falls in love.

"Brother Vinsay's shop is the only pharmacy in this town, and it's very affordable, and we've been taken care of by him all this time. ”

Ash nodded in a gesture of greeting.

Vince wasn't embarrassed either, and put the roses away with a smile.

Several people walked all the way into the town, and the gray appearance made many men in the town not know how to react.

The woman's peculiar black hair and black eyes were impressive, and even her strange costumes, which were full of holes and blood spots, did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

When they came to their senses, they rushed to the hotel where the brave mercenary team was staying, just to ask for information about the beauty.

In the inn, no man could take his eyes off his gray face.

A pig-headed man who was drinking beer didn't even know that his saliva was dripping.

The owner of the wine poured the wine in this way and maintained the posture of pouring the wine until the wine overflowed and flowed to his feet, and then he woke up like a dream.

The moment Ash entered the bar, the noisy people who were drinking under the hotel stopped breathing in agreement, fearing that the force of their breath would startle the beautiful angel who did not look like the earth.

It wasn't until someone couldn't stand the breath-holding beauty and choked that the hotel burst into flames, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

David had long anticipated the agitation, and before entering the hotel, he told Annottby to hurry up and buy something to cover his face, and asked Molica and Vivien to take Ash to the room immediately.

"Yo, don't go, chick!"

"Yes, yes, play with my brother..."

Whoosh, the mercenary hadn't finished speaking, and for a moment a silver light flashed in front of him, and suddenly he felt a cold pound on his head, and a dagger swept across his scalp and nailed it to the wooden wall, trembling slightly.

The next moment, the beer glass he raised made a click, cracked in half, and the beer flowed down silently.

The smooth and flat incision made everyone gasp.

"Well done! Ash! After being stunned for a while, Fan Jingjing raised her small fist and said, "This kind of person just has to teach a lesson!" ”

Discouraged and unmoved, he walked over, took off Seventeen, carefully put it into the scabbard, and swept over everyone with a pair of cold eyes and emotionlessness, judging in his heart the strength of these people, and the time to kill them.

Just now, Pink Jingjing didn't let Ash make a move, but Ash herself had always ignored these foul words, in fact, after her own disfigurement, she had never heard such obscene language.

Sure enough, this face can easily attract the attention of others, which is a big no-no for the killer.

Thinking about various ways to change his appearance, Ash keenly noticed the adoration in Molika and Vivien's eyes, the clarity in David's eyes, and the appreciation that flashed in the wolf's eyes.

Frowning, strange, they are not afraid?

The mercenaries around them converged one after another, this world is a place where strength is supreme, and the hand of the gray dew is enough to shut up these lowly mercenaries in the hall.

It's just that Yi Gao is bold, and he still unscrupulously scans the gray up and down with his eyes.

Sending them away with their gazes, the mercenaries' voices returned to normal, and they began to laugh and discuss the size of the beautiful woman's body.

"Sister, do you have any places you want to go next?"

Ash thought for a moment and shook his head.

She wanted to get back to work, but she didn't know where to start.

Is there a killer organization in this world? If so, where can you find it?

"That's great!"

Molika's eyes sparkled, and Ash thought of making new clothes for the wood carving, happy pink crystal.

"Why don't you go back to the imperial capital with us, and then join our mercenary team, so that we don't have to be separated!"

Vivien also gave a hopeful look from under the lens, she liked this beautiful and seemingly powerful sister very much.

Annottby nodded his head repeatedly, citing the benefits of joining their mercenary group, trying to convince Ash.

David patted the heads of the three teenagers and girls, and smiled at the gray smile, "Don't listen to their nonsense, our group is very small, but there are only a hundred people, if you want to experience and participate in the mercenary group, it is better to join those big mercenary groups, with your skills, you should be reused." ”

"In these years, it's not easy to find good thieves, they are the treasures of every mercenary group."

"I'm not a thief."

Gray's words made several people's eyes widen.

The characteristics of this world profession are obvious, except for thieves, there is really no other profession with daggers. Looking at the skillful movements of the ash dagger, everyone guessed that she was a high-level thief, but they didn't expect her to deny it.

Seeing that Ash didn't have the slightest intention of continuing to speak, David also snorted and opened the topic.

"Ah, I can finally come out and breathe." Pink Jingjing stretched out her little arms and legs.

Ash was alone in the room, and Molica's strong desire to have sex was mercilessly rejected by David, allowing her to share a room with Vivian.

Don't look at David, a man with five big and three rough, but many years of experience in walking the continent are not in vain, he naturally has his carefulness.

Ash was indeed not used to being close to others, so he received his kindness and asked for a room.

In fact, from the fact that the three big men of David, Annoteby and Ceree only need one room, it can be seen that their mercenary team is not wealthy.

In this nameless town, in addition to potions, the most expensive thing is housing, and Ash saw Annot's painful expression when he took out the money, and his expression couldn't help but soften a little.

"Ash, what do you say the emperor is like?"

Pink Jingjing dragged the hair that slid down her shoulders and swayed like a swing, and her little head was still imagining the appearance of the imperial capital described by Molica.

Ash answered, but did not answer.

"It is said that there is a towering golden pagoda in the imperial capital, what would it be like?"

"Hmm."

"Molica also said that there are many orcs of other races besides werewolves!"

"Hmm."

"Ash, do you think there will be elves? Grandpa World Tree says elves are beautiful! ”

"Yes."

Pink Jingjing puffed out her cheeks, dissatisfied with Ash's apparently perfunctory answer.

Ash was carefully wiping Seventeen, and in the light of the knife, her expression looked much gentler than usual, as if she were treating her closest friend, gently and slowly taking care of her beloved dagger.

Pink Jingjing pursed her mouth again, but she obediently didn't bother the ash, and a little elf got into the space ring and continued to tidy things up.

Ash pondered when to give Seventeen another high-quality dagger when he heard Pink Jingjing scream.

With a flash of pink light, Pink Crystal flew out of the space ring, her little face was flushed, and she was holding the hand of another elf tightly in her hand, Nossi, he actually hid in the gray space ring at some point!

Pink Jingjing was very excited, and said, "Ash, you don't know, when I found him, he was hiding behind a shoulder pad, sleeping soundly!" ”

Noxisi's dark face was slightly red, and he said stiffly, "What are you hiding, I didn't hide, but I forgot to come out." ”

Ash and Pink Jingjing glanced at each other, and they both tacitly agreed not to expose Nossi's lame excuse.

"I know, I know, but I'm so happy," Pink Jingjing turned around, took Noxisi's hand, and smiled, "In the future, even if I stay in the fairy space, I will have elves with me!" ”

Ash thought for a moment, and then instructed, "It's dangerous outside, pay attention to safety." ”

Pink Jingjing laughed, "Ash, you don't have to be so vigilant, how can there be so many people who want to catch us." ”

Noxisi was on the same front with Ash, and said, "You think of humans too well, anyway, since I'm here, Ash can rest assured, I will look at Pink Jingjing and let her stay in the fairy space obediently." ”

Ash curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and stroked Nossisi's head approvingly with his fingers, making his little face blush.

It's okay, it's okay, I'm dark-skinned and can't see it, Nocisi comforted herself.

As soon as the sunlight came in through the cracks in the window, Cheray woke up on his own, washed up, and prepared to start the day.

Twisting his neck, even if he sat on a chair and slept all night, his whole body was not very comfortable.

He walked out of the inn, looked in the least crowded direction, and galloped away in the corner as a wolf.

The daily morning exercise routine has not been interrupted since he was able to walk.

Passing through a grove of trees, approaching the western edge of the Ghost Forest, Chelley stepped on the ground of fallen leaves, listening to the chirping of birds, and the cold lines of his face softened slightly.

Suddenly, he smelled someone else on the tip of his nose.

Shrugging the tip of his nose, the big blue wolf stopped, this smell... There's a hint of familiarity.

The smell of grass, the Terran woman who joined their team yesterday?

Chelley wondered what this woman was doing in the woods early in the morning.

He shifted slightly, stepping lightly in the direction he smelled.

More than a hundred meters away, he saw the figure wielding a dagger in the forest through a gap in the trees.

She held the dagger in her right hand, and her right foot straddled to the right slightly, and suddenly, her right arm stretched forward, and the dagger was cut horizontally from left to right, and she retracted it violently!

The clean, neat movements made Chere squint his wolf eyes.

He also has a friend of the thief, who knows that this is a left horizontal cut, which is mostly used to cut the opponent's neck and throat, or to stab the chest and face. In front of his eyes, there seemed to be a human whose carotid artery had been cut by the woman's movements.

He controlled his breathing, carefully lurking and slowly approaching, while Ash, in front of him, kept repeating the exercise of the left horizontal cut.

Once, twice, three times, within twenty minutes of Chere's arrival, Ash Foot swung the dagger four hundred and twenty-six times! An average of 2.8 seconds for a left cross-cut!

But Ash wasn't happy with the stats, and her goal was to have a left cut every two seconds, whereas the average was two and a half seconds when she was still in the organization. Don't look at the data that is only 0.3 seconds backwards, but it takes gray days and nights of continuous practice to gradually make up for it.
