Several mercenaries were knocked unconscious and hung from the trees one by one.

It's not that Li Mengnan has any evil habits, it's just because there are more wild wolves in the vicinity, and if you just throw people on the road so casually, there will basically be only bones left after the night.

Li Mengnan actually doesn't have any psychological burden to do this kind of thing now, but the organization of the mercenary union seems to be loose, and there may not be any protection measures for internal members, and it doesn't matter if he grabs some property, once he kills too many people, and everyone in the mercenaries is in danger, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not lead to the joint strangulation of the indigenous forces of this world, then the matter is a big deal.

In fact, there have been wanted bounties for several of them in the mercenary union, but they have never shown their faces when they robbed, and they only robbed money and did not kill people, and the reward amount was not high, so it has not attracted anyone's attention at present.

"Guo Yimin, what's going on on your chest?"

Tie the rope firmly to the trunk of the tree, Li Mengnan noticed that Guo Yimin was actually injured, and two cuts more than three inches long were opened on the breastplate, forming an angle similar to ">", and the red, red, white and white flesh below rolled outward, constantly oozing dark red blood.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a skin injury...... There was a mercenary just now who didn't know what kind of magic he used, and I didn't even see how he made a move, so I was hit twice in the chest. ”

Guo Yimin wanted to show that he didn't care about the tough guy, but the pain of the wound made him grin again and again.

"You should be glad he was injured before, and he can't lift his hand high, otherwise it would be aimed at your head......"

Huang Hao's compassionate words made Guo Yimin shudder suddenly, and he subconsciously shivered, and snorted a few times: "Haozi, don't be a crow's mouth, it scares me to be careful of my liver fluttering and fluttering......"

"This mercenary is not simple...... Li Mengnan said in a deep voice.

In order to maintain the flexibility of their movements, Li Mengnan and the others wore light cowhide leather armor, which is extremely popular in this world, and can only defend against long-range bows and arrows, as well as slightly reduce the slashing damage of melee light weapons such as swords, and the defense can only be said to be better than nothing.

Guo Yimin is different, although he can't play with the double-edged battle axe, he can only lower the standard and replace it with two ten-pound small axes, but the rest of the standards are according to the heavy armor berserker, and the body is a standard Gothic full-body plate armor, armed like a high-pressure boiler, unless it is some heavy blunt weapon, otherwise the general attack can't break through his tortoiseshell-like defense.

Even if it is as strong as the unscientific brute force of the pseudo-mother of Padio, it is impossible to do this with an ordinary one-handed long sword.

Padio reached out and touched the edge of Guo Yimin's rolled armor, and said thoughtfully: "It should be a fighting skill." ”

"What is a fighting skill?"

Everyone looked at each other, not to mention Guo Yimin and others, even Li Mengnan heard this word for the first time.

"The fighting technique is similar to the "Flying Eaves Walking Wall Method" and "Flying on the Grass" used by you and me, which is a kind of skill that only exists in legends, but is concretized in the world of Gaia's consciousness, for Westerners, it should be similar to the martial arts in our Chinese cognition, but the system is different...... Fatty, if you go to that person's bag and look for it, you may be able to find the original of this fighting skill. ”

"Brother, this is not called fat, this is called strong, what do you know about your reed stick-like figure?"

Although Guo Yimin was very dissatisfied with Padio calling him "fat", his body was quite sincere and ran to rummage through things as he said, and soon found a yellowing parchment roll that looked quite ancient.

There were several human figures drawn on the parchment scroll, which were supposed to be some kind of sword technique, but the annotated text next to it was not something they could understand.

The pure consciousness state only allows the dreamwalker to have an unobstructed conversation, and is powerless against the words that fall on paper.

Li Mengnan crossed his arms and pinched his chin, and said to himself: "If I'm not mistaken, according to the data records of the research institute, any skill and technique obtained in the legendary land belongs to the ranks of legendary objects, as long as it is fused with the corresponding level of chaos crystal, it can be brought out of the legendary land or directly learned by itself......"

Guo Yimin couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly put the parchment roll into his arms, and said cheekily: "Brother Li, I almost even took my life into it, give me this first legendary object, even if I comfort my injured glass heart ...... a little."

Li Mengnan himself has a different body "Hollow Magician" as a hole card, and Padio, a pseudo-girl, is also wild and strong in combat, what they lack now is the weapons and equipment they can take advantage of, and the demand for skills is really not big.

On the contrary, Guo Yimin and the four of them can only fight a tailwind battle behind him and Padio, and they really need to increase their strength.

Seeing that the others in the team did not raise objections, Li Mengnan nodded and slapped Guo Yimin with a smile: "It's cheap, you kid!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Li, I will be our team's MT in the future, you let me take the top, even if the main battle tank is in front, I will also roll it over!" Guo Yimin said happily.

"Then you'll have to eat more than 60 tons first." Li Mengnan said with a smile.

Seeing that Guo Yimin took the lead in getting the legendary object, it was still quite a practical skill, and the eyes of Huang Hao Laoman and others were also quite envious, but Guo Yimin was now injured after all, and they were embarrassed to fight with a sick number.

Guo Yimin took off the damaged breastplate, and let Dongzi wrap the wound with a white cloth to help him tie it around with a white cloth, and couldn't put it down to play with the parchment roll rolled into a cylinder, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that we haven't obtained the chaos crystals until now, otherwise the fighting skills on this parchment roll can be directly used to form combat effectiveness." ”

"I don't make yì you do this...... Of course, this is just a personal opinion. Padio said suddenly.

"Why?"

Li Mengnan believed that Padio's words should not be untargeted, in fact, he had already discovered that this pseudo-lady seemed to know more about the legendary land than all of them.

"Because our Chinese people's compatibility with fighting skills is too low."

"Fit?" Li Mengnan heard a term from Padio's mouth that he had never heard of.

It's rare that Padio didn't turn on the poisonous tongue mode this time, after all, this information is not something that a new dreamwalker who is on a mission for the first time can know, because this is not the data information stored on the main computer of the research institute, but the empirical law summarized by the veteran.

It was also because of some special reasons that he learned this information in advance.

"What is the basis of the legend of the existence of the zài?" Padio suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Legendary?" Guo Yimin interjected tentatively.

Li Mengnan pondered for a moment and said, "It should be a legend, right?" Without the corresponding legends, there would be no legends in the world of Gaia. ”

Padio glanced at Li Mengnan quite approvingly, nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's easy to talk to smart people...... To be precise, the basis of the legendary existence of zài is recognition. ”

"Awareness?"

"Almost everyone in our Chinese can talk about the Three Kingdoms, talking about Guan Yu, the image of a red face and a long beard, loyalty and righteousness immediately appears in my mind, and when I talk about Kong Ming, it is a lupine scarf, and the canopy is annihilated by ashes when talking and laughing.

But if you talk about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and when you talk about the legendary ** master Merlin, I'm afraid few people understand.

That's the difference in perception. ”

"I can understand this, but does it have anything to do with the fit you said?" Li Mengnan seemed to have a faint sense of something.

"Every one of us Chinese people has a martial arts dream in our hearts, and I believe that in the distant past, there was a group of people who could move mountains and seas and fly away with their own cultivation.

And for the people of the West, or more precisely the European cultural circle, their history should be a world of swords and sorcery in their sketches, and the heroic knight embarked on a journey to slay the dragon without hesitation in order to save the princess who was kidnapped by the evil dragon, and finally returned with a beautiful woman, which became a legend in the mouth of the bard......"

"That's right, why does it feel so disobedient when he says 'hug the beauty' from his mouth?" Guo Yimin tilted his head and whispered in Li Mengnan's ear.

"In the world of consciousness there has always been a principle - belief is existence.

The same is true for legendary objects, I believe that the deeper Cheng dù is, the more he can bring out the true strength of legendary objects.

Just like when the movie "Harry Potter" was first released in Huaxia, many people complained about Harry's wand, and they couldn't understand why magic had to be used with a stick to do it.

No one in foreign audiences complains about this, because in their cultural perception, magicians are like this.

And when Ang Lee's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released abroad, many foreigners also wondered, how can people stand on tree branches or even on the water without the help of anything, what is the force that can make them out of gravity? This is completely unscientific.

But the domestic audience will not be entangled in this issue, because for them, light work is part of the martial arts culture of the Chinese country, even if it is still impossible to prove its existence from a scientific point of view, but they are willing to believe. ”

Li Mengnan understands that the perception of the unique culture of the cultural circle by the people living in a certain cultural circle is the so-called fit.

"In other words, only the dreamers of the European cultural circle can exert 100% of the power of this fighting skill, and for people in the Chinese cultural circle like us, the power will be greatly reduced?"

Padio nodded and said: "Yes, in the same way, all kinds of martial arts cheats can only be exerted by our dreamwalkers in the Huaxia Kingdom to exert 100% power, even if they are obtained by dreamwalkers from other countries in the Asian cultural circle, the effect is not ideal, for the dreamwalkers in the non-Asian cultural circle, it is basically like waste paper...... At this point, our Chinese dreamwalkers are still very advantageous. ”

Think about it, Huaxia can be said to be the most difficult language in the world to master, even if it is a native of China, give him a literary essay, it is estimated that there are ten ** also have to catch blind, you can't expect a foreigner to understand what it means to "the way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings", expect him to know what is called "Tao Ke Tao is very Tao", right?

Of course, even if the Chinese Dream Walker has a comprehensive advantage in the fit of different legendary objects, in fact, no one will choose the skill system of non-Chinese cultural circle legendary objects, after all, no matter how little weakened it is, it is also weakened, and it is better to choose the skills that you are familiar with.

However, there is not much to say about some general-purpose legendary items that do not require cultural identity, such as ordinary cold weapons.

"Guo Yimin, you put away this fighting skill first, and then go back to other Dream Walkers to exchange for equipment you can use."

Since no one in the team can exert the true power of this fighting skill, Li Mengnan does not intend to let Guo Yimin waste this rare legendary object, after all, the legendary object of skill is not like the legendary object of equipment, once it is learned, it can no longer be recovered.

……

Except for the parchment scroll that recorded the unknown fighting skills, these mercenaries did not find anything of value.

Of course, the worthlessness mentioned here is relative to the fighting skills, in fact, these five mercenaries are still quite wealthy, with thirty or forty gold coins on their bodies alone, not to mention the various equipment taken from them.

In this barren town, iron and horses were better than gold coins.

"Brother Li, what do you think this is?"

In the hotel room, Huang Hao handed Li Mengnan a piece of paper with a lot of handwriting, which he had found from a mercenary's bag.

The material of the paper is very poor, which is a common problem of paper in this era, but the text on it has attracted Li Mengnan's attention.

It's not that Li Mengnan knows these characters, what really makes him care is that these characters are not handwritten, but printed by guò engraving.

You must know that in this historical era, even in Huaxia, where printing was invented, printing words was an act that could be called a waste of money and labor, and only when it was necessary to print books with huge sales such as the Analects, would engraving printing be used, and ordinary people wanted to obtain books, basically through guò copying.

Since coming to this legendary world, Li Mengnan has really never seen the printed text, and this paper is definitely the first one.

Judging from the typography, this paper is obviously not a page in a book, but more like a wanted notice posted by the mercenary guild that they had seen on the bulletin board, except that the portrait of the wanted man was missing.

"Guo Yimin, go outside and find someone who can read."

Li Mengnan began to wonder what was written on this piece of paper.

There are not many literate people in this town, but fortunately, the innkeeper where they live happens to be one of them, and under the promise of ten copper tips, he happily followed Guo Yimin to the room, and was very enthusiastic to help these oriental guests from afar to do text interpretation.

It turned out to be a summoning decree jointly signed by the Holy See and several kings, calling on all the warriors in the territory to take up their swords and join the crusade against Dracula's legions.

Of course, no one can make a person work hard with white teeth, and the various rewards are also quite generous, depending on the amount of contribution from the killing of Dracula's legion, participants can redeem huàn generous bonuses at any time, top weapons and equipment in the kingdom's treasure trove, various combat skills and rare magic spells.

The highest contributor can even get the right to marry a princess of their own design.

Well, this last one can be ignored directly by Li Mengnan and others, but for the aborigines of this world, this crusade will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for fame and fortune.

"Boss, you also know that we are strangers, and we don't know what you are doing here...... Do you often organize such crusades here? ”

The innkeeper with a red nose wanted to speak and stopped, Li Mengnan gave Guo Yimin a look, Guo Yimin immediately understood, and took out a handful of copper plates and stuffed them into the innkeeper's hand.

The innkeeper suddenly smiled, and the fat on his face almost didn't fly up, and he immediately said: "This kind of crusade is said to have been held every few years since my grandfather's generation, but it has never been as big as this year's movement...... It is said that it seems that the Holy See has reached some agreement with several neighboring countries to completely eradicate Dracula and his monster legions at once. ”

"No wonder it's so bloody, it's obviously a rhythm of success if you don't succeed...... I just don't know if those princesses are beautiful. ”

Guo Yimin's first half of the sentence is quite serious, but the back is quite undisciplined.

"Boring." Padio rolled his eyes.

Li Mengnan and the others naturally knew that Guo Yimin was just joking, but the innkeeper took it seriously.

After all, in his cognition, this kind of good thing of fame and fortune, as long as it is a person, will inevitably be tempted, if he is dozens of years younger, maybe he will also pick up the ancestral long sword to fight, how can this group of mysterious Orientals who look like warriors be exempt from vulgarity?

Thinking of this, the innkeeper said with a smile: "Those princesses are all raised in the castle of the royal capital, what they look like ordinary people like us can't have a chance to see, and the appearance of this thing, one person has one eye, even if I say beautiful, I can only represent myself, right?"

However, in the neighboring three countries, there are at least fifteen or sixteen princesses, from little dolls who are still breastfeeding, to old girls who are over thirty years old and unmarried. Didn't the notice also say that you can specify yourself......

"Alright, got it, you can go."

After giving the innkeeper the eviction order, Li Mengnan closed the door, turned around and slapped the summoning order on the table, looked around at the few people in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Since we entered this legendary world, we have never been able to get news of the other two Dream Walker teams in our Huaxia Kingdom, which is very detrimental to our mission...... And this crusade against the Dracula Legion launched by the indigenous forces of this world is obviously an opportunity. ”

Padio also agreed with Li Mengnan's opinion: "That's right, the addition of the aboriginal forces can greatly increase the success rate of our mission, but as long as you know this news, no dreamwalker team will give up such a rare opportunity, and it will inevitably gather at the meeting place on the summoning order, and our chances of meeting with other dreamwalker teams will inevitably increase." ”
