Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Bone Tooth Necklace
The bacon is a large piece of tenderloin grilled over a charcoal fire that is golden brown and oily, and the red wine is poured over it with a tantalizing aroma. The bacon was cut into two dozen portions, and each mercenary was given a strip to nibble on while it was hot.
The three of Xia Yi also got a share of the barbecue. Mondo learned a bite of meat and a sip of wine from the mercenaries, eating and drinking, Xia Yi also reluctantly gnawed a few times, her sense of taste did not recover much, and she couldn't digest it after eating, so she found a hidden place to spit it all out.
Meat is not a problem for Xuankui, not to mention the venom of the zombie king, even the iron tools cast by the dwarves can be corroded cleanly. The problem was that he, like Shay, didn't have to eat, drink, or taste, and he insensitively put the whole piece of flesh in his mouth, biting it so loudly that he didn't know what to say, and thought he was chewing stones.
"The mouth is so good...... all the mercenaries envy.
Priest Pige was carried to the campfire, the heat of the fire dispelling the chill from him, his hands and feet finally regaining a little warmth, and his face was a little fleshy.
This snow wolf mercenary group team has no priests, and the mercenaries basically do not know medical treatment, so they use the simplest and crude method to pour liquor on the wound of the Pig Priest, wash away the bloodstains, and pour a few sips of ale into the mouth of the Pig Priest. This is the most common method used by mercenaries to treat knife wounds, and alcohol can also hide the gore and prevent attracting monsters.
At midnight, the mercenaries tied sleeping bags to the trunks of the trees and burrowed into the hanging sleeping bags, leaving only three or four men to keep vigil.
The head of the regiment, Harry, added firewood, because he was not as weak as other mages because of his constant travel, but he was physically strong, and his martial arts skills were not inferior.
"The most powerful Demonic Beast we have ever encountered is the Rank 8 Demonic Beast Earth Fire Dragon! Its body is more than ten meters tall! Bathed in fire. Everywhere I went, the trees and flowers were burning with ashes! If it hadn't been for the leader's spell to contain it, we would have lost half of our members. ”
Lucia is talking to the three new members about their adventures, and Mondo listens with great interest, while Xia Yi and Hyun Kui are less interested. For them, this kind of adventure is almost like playing at home.
The female elf was obviously not satisfied with the reaction of the two, and such an exciting danger did not arouse their exclamations?
"That magical beast was handed over to Captain Brent to take back to the mercenary union headquarters, and at the auction house contacted by the royal capital, it was bought by a noble mage of the human race, called the Snape family, for three thousand gold coins!"
"Three thousand?!"
Xia Yi carried more than 300 gold coins, and always felt that he was already a nouveau riche. Mondo gave himself 5,000 gold coins to save a necromancer whose whereabouts are now unknown, and Snape's 3,000 gold coins are just for a magic core, it seems that the real nobles are richer than they imagined!
"Harry, rum!" The female elf handed the bottle in her hand to the commander.
Harry brought the flask closer to his lips. Suddenly stopped, he stood up, drew a waist knife, walked over to the Pyg priest by the campfire, and kicked him with great force.
"Who said the Pigs were a stupid race? This priest almost fooled us! Harry exclaimed. Don't play dead. Get up for me! ”
The Pitge priest was motionless, but could not withstand a few kicks from Harry, and after a few muffled snorts, he could not hold back any longer, and got up and shouted, "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”
The Pyg priest begged for mercy without any grace, leaving Mondo feeling disgraced.
"Tell me, you woke up an hour ago, why do you want to pretend to be dead?!"
Harry had noticed that Pig's breathing had evened out an hour before, and at first thought it was Pig's injury had improved, but an hour later. Before the Pig Priest woke up, just when the female elf shouted loudly, he saw the Pig Orc move in shock, and realized that this priest was pretending to be unconscious!
"Because...... Because I'm afraid of being killed, you are mercenaries, maybe you were bought by my enemies, or you took the assassination mission, that's why you ......" Piggy Priest shuddered, obviously, this guy is not stupid, he listened to the mercenary conversation and understood that he was in the hands of a team of mercenaries.
"Captain, I didn't mean to offend, I don't want to die......"
"Shh
Harry was very disdainful, the mercenary hated the guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he threw half a ham to the Pyg, and said, "If you don't want to die, eat it, and then tell me what is about you, I don't want to pick up a trouble." ”
Pyg Priest ate the ham gratefully, while explaining incoherently: "I am a Pyg orc, a Fox vassal family, I was chased by the enemy, with five Pyg warriors, three were killed by the other party, and two were separated while fleeing, and they lured the enemy away in order to cover me, and now ...... Maybe dead. ”
As he spoke, Priest Pige couldn't hold back his tears and looked sad.
"Who are you hunted down?" That's where Harry cares most, saying, "Your name, Pig. ”
"Glysher, my name is Glysher, my lord." Pitge Priest wiped away tears, "I was hunted down by the Cat Clan, another vassal family of Fawkes, twenty Shadow Assassins, and two Shadow Assassins and my Pig Warriors perished. ”
"Shadow Assassin ......"
Harry muttered that if Ghulesher hadn't lied, the situation wasn't good.
The most powerful warrior of the Cat People is the Shadow Assassin. Their complexion is black, they can hide perfectly in the dark, their bodies are dexterous, they are extremely fast, and they are good at small hidden weapons, and some of them are talented cat people, and their nails can become the most powerful weapons.
Several corpses were encountered on the Danube, all of them were killed by a single move, throat and heart, this group of shadow cat people, indeed extraordinary, training.
"Why are they going after a Piggy? What's more, you are both vassals of the Fox family. Lucia's thinking is more inclined to analyze the cause and effect, and Harry is more inclined to understand friend and foe and solve the battle.
"Although we are both members of the Fox family, the cat people and us Pigs have always been unfriendly. The Cat Clan behave strangely, greedily and cunningly, bullying the honest Pig Clan is commonplace, because I can't get angry, I once contradicted the Cat Clan Patriarch, and they hold a grudge, damn the Cat Clan, it is even more insidious and vicious than the Snake (Snake Clan) Snake Man! ”
Ghulescher angrily accused.
"Because of the rudeness of a Pig, you sent twenty shadow assassins to chase and kill, you can't help but think highly of yourself, right? Pigger! Lucia said unceremoniously, thinking that the Pigs were hiding the truth.
"I'm not lying!" Ghulescher cried out, and after a moment of snorting, he said, "And because of ...... And because they wanted to rob one of the Pige priests' treasures, the Bone Tooth Necklace......"
The Bone Tooth Necklace was given by a powerful ancestral priest of Pige, before he died, and after cremation, his teeth and remaining bones were made into a necklace. Pig's descendants discovered that this necklace of bone teeth carried the priest's lifelong understanding of the war song, and it was also an item that could save the power of the song.
The Bone Tooth Necklace is the reason why there are many priests in the Pigg Clan, and through the Bone Tooth Necklace, you only need half of your singing power to sing war songs, which is a rare treasure.
"So, the bone tooth necklace is on you?" Harry said as he stared at Ghulescher.
"No, no! Not really! Ghulaishe hurriedly waved his hand, he knew the style of the human mercenaries of the Dao, "Even on me, the Shadow Assassin has already snatched it, I just know where the Dao Bone Tooth Necklace is, so the Cat Clan wants to capture me alive, and I can live until now." ”
Lucia smiled, "We saved you, we wasted our precious food, and there are already three bottles of fine wine spent on you." Maybe you should pay us somewhat, shouldn't you? ”
The mercenaries are risking their lives and deaths to travel north and south just for wealth, but don't expect them to make a loss-making business! The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will not kill people and take treasures, but the benefits they deserve will not be less!
"Uh......"
Glyscher understood that Lucia wanted their Bone Tooth Necklace, and he struggled to analyze it, if he didn't hand over the Bone Tooth Necklace, he would definitely be dismantled by this group of bandits, and if he handed over the Bone Tooth Necklace, he might not be able to get out alive.
"That's right, Captain, compared to the hateful Catwoman, I am willing to give the Bone Tooth Necklace to the mercenary group, but the Bone Tooth Necklace is not on me, I just ask you to let me follow, and when I come back from the Frozen Forest, I will take you to get the Bone Tooth Necklace, Captain Rest assured, I am a soul priest, with my joining, I can double your combat power, and I will definitely not drag you back......"
Harry thought about it, the members of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group included almost all races on the continent, and there were many orc warriors. But there has never been an orc priest, because priests are scarce, and humans and orcs are like fire and water, and it is difficult to act together.
The addition of a soul priest will bring a lot of benefits to the mercenary group, especially their detachment, there is no healing priest, and the soul priest can completely replace it.
As for the bone tooth necklace, although it is a treasure, no one in the mercenary group can use it, and Harry is more interested in whether he can win over a priest.
Glysher is cunning, and Harry will not accept a strange orc easily, so he decides to leave Ghulesher behind for a while and observe for a while.
Xia Yi did not meddle in the affairs of the mercenary group, but she felt that this orc's words were completely untrustworthy, he was sometimes cunning as a fox, sometimes stupid, where would a priest casually reveal the treasures of his race to the mercenaries? He must have done it on purpose!
Xia Yi deliberately raised his voice and said, "Mondo, last time in the City of Chaos, didn't Grandpa Sal mention that the Pigs gave birth to a Scepter Priest, so the Pigs moved inland from the border?" How can you meet a Piggy Priest here?! ”
Harry and Lucia glanced at each other, it was Shay reminding them!
Harry was amazed, this little girl was really extraordinary, there was obviously something about the migration of the Pigs, it was obvious that the little orc had told her, but she could detect the flaws in Ghulesher through a little bit of information!
