Soon, the camp was filled with the aroma of barbecued game, and the mercenary who was cooking was obviously a good at it, and everyone gathered around him to talk and laugh.

Like Barthes. Willie and others are not very acceptable to the mercenary's style, but although Hathaway is not worried about their casual style of action, she still likes this kind of collective life very much.

At the beginning, those mercenaries were still a little unaccustomed, after all, she was a noble magician, and her status was completely different from that of ordinary mercenaries. But after eating a few pieces of meat and drinking a few glasses of wine, the conversation naturally increased.

Barthes. Willy, Alia. Fogu sat next to Hathaway, and the mercenaries sat in a circle around them. Everyone talked while eating, and the mercenaries talked most about the glorious adventures of their group, and Hathaway was trying to be a good listener.

Sgart. Cancy was a good mercenary, he was born into a military family, and every generation of his family had people die on the battlefield. But he was an outlier, and after participating in a major battle, he decided that he had carried on the glory of his family and that it was time to use his sword to carve out his own path in life, so he resigned from the captain's rank, began a mercenary career, and established this mercenary group.

The head of the regiment was full of curiosity about the Miss Bell beside him, who was slightly taller than girls of the same age, and slightly slender in stature, and at first glance seemed to meet the aesthetics of all aristocratic ladies...... This kind of young lady, appearing at the noble ball, is obviously more suitable than casting spells with a magic wand. But Sgart. Kanxi Zhilu said. This slender body is immense, and most astonishing of all is her ability to cast spells.

In the Mercenary's Bar, Hathaway's 'mage' used to punish the mercenary is a very low-level magic, and most mages use it to do things that are more convenient. Sgart. Although Cancy didn't know magic, when he was in the army, he worked with many magicians, and he was able to use a mage's hand to that extent, I'm afraid that even a fourth- or fifth-level magician might not be able to do it. And he believed that this Miss Bell must have more power. Her eyes looked gentle and harmless. But if you stare at it, you feel like you've touched a sword hidden in its sheath, and that sharp strand seems to be ready to be slashed out at any moment.

The other mercenaries were also curious about the noble lady, though not notorious. But in general. It was impossible for those young ladies to have such close contact with these mercenaries. And he also talked and laughed.

If that's all there is to it, this noble lady is still a magician...... Hathaway now wears the Rank 1 Mage badge, which is also quite respected among the mercenary team. Especially a small mercenary group - the size of theirs, not even a magic apprentice can be raised. Of course, this also has to do with their commander, who trusts his sword more.

When the whole camp was quiet, Hathaway still didn't feel a little sleepy and began to practice the art of sword cultivation...... The magical dagger from her mother lay on the case in front of her, trembling slightly with her breathing, and Hathaway used her mental power to capture the almost imperceptible connection between her and the dagger.

Raising a sword is not an overnight thing, although Hathaway is looking forward to this Yuanyang Imperial Sword Technique, but this technique is too difficult, if you don't practice for a year and a half, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, she simply uses sword raising as a means to hone her mind, after all, her cultivation speed is too fast, it's hard to say what will happen. And through these days of sword raising, she found that she was more delicate in the use of spiritual power.

Her eyes flickered suddenly, she finished her cultivation, put away the short sword, glanced at the windless automatic candle flame, and then glanced at Ilona who was still asleep, and when she stood up, a long sword had appeared silently in her hand.

There was an extremely strong murderous aura in the Great Cause.

Hathaway felt threatened for the first time...... This is a real deadly threat, even more terrifying than the magician-killer he encountered on his way to Vermont City.

This assassin is too powerful!

Hathaway didn't know where he was, and her mental power seemed to be disturbed, which would only happen after being locked by the enemy's powerful spirit. Her spirit was almost equal in the battle with this unusually cold spiritual power.

The enemy in the darkness still hasn't made a move, he's a connoisseur, Hathaway can still fight back, this girl can still perform a cold counterattack!

Hathaway's fighting spirit showed signs of dissipating under the intense pressure, but she didn't give up her resistance, her brain was running wildly. A former sniper rifle instructor in the SWAT team once told her that a real sniper will never appear in front of you, and they will usually deliver a fatal blow in the hole in your heart.

Loopholes in the heart! Loopholes in the heart! Hathaway desperately shouted this sentence in her heart.

Suddenly, she had an idea...... Sleeping Ilona breathed evenly, but her heartbeat was 'two'...... The killer is able to disguise his breathing with the help of Iona, but he is unable to coordinate the frequency of his heartbeat.

Shout!

A wind blade shot in that direction, and then the long sword drew a bright rainbow in the light of the candle flame, and the tent behind Iona was torn open by the sword.

The blade of the wind was shattered by the sword, and the sword stabbed Hathaway like a viper...... There was no superfluous movement on both sides, the stabbing sword flashed cold and rushed to the heart, the long sword slashed to the throat with a strong wind, the two figures overlapped in an instant, but they separated from each other, but the sword was clear, and no one was injured.

The two turned at the same time, Hathaway hiding the sword behind her elbow and the killer's bayonet pointed diagonally at the ground. The duel was still going on, but Hathaway's confidence was stronger, she felt her body full of strength, her longsword let out a soft roar, and her eyes could even feel the flow of the other party's blood...... This is indeed a strong opponent, but it also drives Hathaway's improvement, and she just needs such an opponent.

Illona's screams didn't startle the two in the confrontation, they were too focused on the duel. Countless footsteps around were converging on the big tent.

Rumble!

The tent was brought down from all sides by the mercenaries, and the killer and Hathaway drew their swords at the same time, the stabbing sword bringing a dark blue lightning bolt in the night, and a fist hit the lightning bolt accurately.

Rumble!

The red light exploded, the energy overflowed, and the air became blazing in an instant. Hathaway didn't move, but the sword was gone, and the killer's figure staggered back, his eyes showing a look of surprise on the outside of his viscarf.

The mercenaries' swords, guns, and bows were aimed at the killer, and Barth. Willy and the others had already sealed all the retreats of the killer, and the long sword was unsheathed and slashed at the killer...... In the corner of the camp, Berg stood in the shadows, looking at the scene with some confusion and some regret.

"Stop!" Seeing that the battle was about to start again, Hathaway hurriedly shouted to stop, and everyone stopped as they said, but the tip of the sword still pointed at the killer.

The situation of the killer was not very good, the leather armor on his body was torn apart by the fireball, and it was a charred paste, the side of his mouth was slightly bleeding, and obviously his internal organs were also impacted, and his expression was a little sluggish.

"I'm sorry, it's too big." The killer smiled wryly and took a seal from his bosom and handed it to Hathaway.

"Barth, bring it." See Barthes. Willie hesitated, Hathaway urged.

The letter is Bruno. Will wrote. The killer's name is Stilwell. Ponson, who said he was invited by Mrs. Christie (Hathaway's grandmother) because he owed Mrs. Christie a great favor.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ponson, if I had known that Lu Dao was my own, I wouldn't have hurt you with magic." Although Hathaway was apologizing, there was a bit of displeasure in her tone...... If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly felt that there was no killing intent in the opponent's sword style, and she didn't have the power to use the spell to the fullest, I'm afraid this killer would not be as simple as a slight injury.

"If not, how can I have an intuitive understanding of my employer."

Stilwell. Ponson smiled bitterly, and the old fellow Will's told himself that this eldest lady was just a magic apprentice, and he just wanted to try the vigilance of the guards and this eldest lady, but he didn't expect to be defeated, and put on a valuable leather armor...... was supposed to be a gorgeous debut, but it was a bleak ending.

"I'll sleep in the carriage tonight, and I'll pitch a tent for Mr. Ponson." Hathaway raised her hand and threw a healing spell at Stilwell. Ponson's body.

A warm current entered his body, and the burns and shocks gradually healed.

"Light magic!" Stilwell. Ponson looked at Hathaway in surprise.

Next to the Sgart. Cancy's mood was a little complicated, he didn't expect Hathaway's strength to be so strong, and she was also a light elemental mage, if she wasn't a noble lady, he really had the heart to lure her into the team...... But with her healing skills, it was enough for any mercenary group to recruit her, not to mention that she was also good at fire magic.

Actually, when Stilwell. When Ponson and Hathaway fought, he was not far away, and he saw that Hathaway could deal with the assassin with ease, so he didn't make a move, but he didn't expect this assassin to turn into a guardian, which was very dramatic.

The mercenaries dispersed in twos and threes, and Hathaway returned to the carriage. Bruno. Will's letter certainly doesn't just introduce the killer's name...... He is the most famous killer of the Odega Empire, most people only know him as the King of Shadows, and few people know that his real name is Stilwell. Pang Sen, even fewer people know his true face.

The next morning, the team was on its way normally, and last night was just a small episode, but this morning there was an additional middle-aged man in the team like an uncle next to the coachman, sitting next to the coachman, and from time to time inquiring about the performance of the carriage, which seemed to be easy to contact, and it was difficult to associate him with a cold-blooded killer. (To be continued......)
