Valrhona raised her sword in her right hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at Daynes on the ground: "Dark mercenary, do you have anything else to leave for your relatives and friends?"

Daynes smiled miserably, but his eyes were still fierce: "No need, I'm just a friend." And...... He's arrived. ”

As soon as the word "arrived" came out, Valrhona jumped backwards in succession, and several white lights around her were interspersed, following her like a shadow, chasing and entwining her like a silver snake.

"The snake is seven inches off!" Elantra suddenly stepped forward and let out a loud cry as his sword unsheathed.

A sword light slashed down from above in front of Valrhona, forcibly blocking the chasing silver serpent.

The wind blew through the clouds, and the moonlight poured down from the sky again, illuminating the quays.

Ian couldn't see it from a distance, but he knew that Danes's helper had arrived, and that the man was dressed in dark armor, a silver-white spear much brighter than the armor, and a hazy halo in the moonlight. The man came closer, but did not speak, and pointed his spear at the two foreign swordsmen opposite, as if to rush forward again.

Valrhona and Elantra were already swinging their swords to meet them. Although the moves of the two of them were completely different when fighting, they were synchronized like one person at this time.

But the warrior with the spear flashed, and suddenly disappeared into the darkness. The two foreign swordsmen were surprised when a cloud of white light suddenly exploded before their eyes! Ian knew that it was a psychic technique, exactly the same one they used to kidnap him.

This time, Ian was prepared, and as the light lit up, he saw the spearman's face, which he covered with an eyepatch-like mask. Ian was almost certain that the man was the one posing as the Client's courier trying to lure them to Hunttooth Canyon. But if the mask was worn then to lie under the pretext of the anonymity of the commission, then for what now?

On this dark night dock, he also wears a mask to fight, indicating that if he does not wear a mask, his identity will be at risk of being revealed. The two swordsmen passed by by a complete accident, and the mask was for Ian. When the young man thought of this, he immediately guessed that this person must have been known to him, or at least met. He must not be able to be known by Ian for his true identity, or have something to do with the dark mercenary, so he has to hide his face.

So who is he?

The bright light of daylight had dissipated, and the docks looked darker than they had been before—the eyes had not yet fully adjusted.

Daynes and the spearman were gone, Elantra and Valrhona with their swords in their hands, their backs to each other. They all kept their eyes closed, not even at this time.

"Gone. Elantra whispered.

"Hmm. Valrhona replied, "Don't chase it." ”

"Good. Elantra agreed, "I'm hungry." ”

With that, the two of them walked towards Ian at the same time with their swords in hand.

Elantra pulled Ian up, cut the rope on his wrist with a sword, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's eat!"

Valrhona said, "Yes, let him have a treat!

Where did Ian have any money, and all his belongings were taken away by Danes. Seeing his hesitant appearance, Valrhona was unhappy again, and reached out to push him: "You don't want to pay the bill, do you? We saved your life, it's not too much to eat, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a "huh", and then drew his sword out again and put it on Ian's neck.

"Why are you using your psychic powers? What the hell are you doing?!"

Ian was shocked: "How do you know?" Realizing that he had said the wrong point, he hurriedly added, "It's not a ghostly idea......

Valrhona seemed to have used all her patience on her brother, and she had no tolerance for outsiders, and she interrupted: "Of course you know when I touch my hand, your spiritual power is flowing!

"Valrhona," Elantra said in a much softer voice than his sister, "it's okay, we don't have any signs of psychic power around us, presumably we are asking for help from distant friends through psychic power." ”

Ian was even more shocked when he heard this, these two people were simply terrifying. If Daynes had half the intelligence of Elantra, or had Valrhona's psychic perception, his use of Zack's spirit to report would have been revealed long ago.

All he had to do now was nod his head frequently. That night, Sid and Jinx saw Zach leave a strange message: the port of Ambis, saved, bring money. The two looked at each other, how could they be saved, and why did they have to bring money with them if they were saved? Could it be a trap?

When they arrived at the port and cautiously approached the location of Zack's pass, they found that it was a lively tavern near the port. Ian, on the other hand, is cleaning mountains of plates in the back kitchen of the tavern to repay Elantra and Valrhona for the huge amount of money they ate for the overlord meal.

The news that Daynes had recovered from chasing Ian and lost an arm spread quickly in the dark mercenary world like a mountain stream after the snow melted in early spring. His reputation plummeted, and his enemies were ready to move, and Daynes had to disappear to recuperate from the damage inflicted on his arm. According to the rules of the Dark Mercenary, the commission after the mistake will become a bounty, and everyone can exchange the bounty for what the commission requires, on a first-come, first-served basis.

When Ian followed Sid and Jinx back to Oakshield City, the soldiers at the gates were still facing the enemy. It's no wonder that they have been attacked by several demonic beasts along the way back.

It's only been a few days since I left Oak Shield City, and all kinds of monster corpses and soldiers' remains are scattered outside the city gates, and colorful bodily fluids are flowing everywhere. The soldiers on the battlements seemed exhausted when they saw Ian and Sid dragging their heavy steps off the carriage with only one horse left.

"Survivors?"

"It's also from the Goldtail Chamber of Commerce, wasn't there a seriously wounded one who was sent back by the patrol that day?" another soldier recognized Ian, "Jim warned them when they set off that morning. ”

"It's a big life......

"I still have some ability, after all, I am a person with a golden tail. The other soldier whispered.

The soldiers opened the door and let them go, while talking in private.

The most seriously injured Ryan Giggs has been recuperating in the safe house of Oak Shield City, and at the same time using the safe house to deliver the news of Ian and his party to the oasis. Fortunately, Sid and Ian only had some skin injuries, and Jinx, who was good at defense, was unscathed. It's just that Ian's spirit is very tired, and he is troubled by being robbed and encountering strange swordsmen, as well as their strange psychic skills.

And the masked man who rescued Dayns, who always felt like he was about to remember who he was, but couldn't tell. And this commission, what secrets are hidden behind it...... Ian is caught up in various contemplations every day, and even falls asleep at night thinking about these questions.

Looking at the few of them, there was no way to rush back to Oasis Town right away, Jinx thought. Giggs, in particular, was seriously injured, and if he didn't have a doctor's treatment, he would probably have to retire and leave the mercenary profession. If you're unlucky, you might even be in danger of your life. There were more and more wounded in Oak Shield City, and the doctors were getting tighter and tighter, and the owner of the safe house took out the name and relationship of the Goldtail Chamber of Commerce to maintain a doctor who came to the door every day to treat and change the dressing.

"It's the first time you've been so badly injured in my place. After the doctor left, Harvey, the keeper of the safe house, looked at Giggs who was lying in bed and muttered.

"Hopefully there won't be a second batch. Jinx replied with a wry smile.

At dinner, the three of them sat at the table and ate the food left behind by the owner.

"Where's Harvey?"

"I went out and said I wouldn't be back tonight. ”

"He's ...... free"

He said he was just a manager and didn't live here very often. Jinx laughed, "I have my own house, and I have a wife and a pair of children." ”

"It's much more comfortable than our days. Sid followed Jinx's words.

Ian watched the two of them say a word, and it was hard to imagine that Sid had avoided Jinx before he came.

"Are you reconciled?" Ian couldn't help but ask, "What happened while I wasn't there?"

Sid's face flushed slightly, and he didn't speak.

"We've always had a good relationship. Jinx carefully gripped a slice of bread with thick butter and smiled as she handed it to Sid.

Sid's face was slightly embarrassed, but he would only prevaricate Ian with the phrase "don't worry about the adult's business".

After a long time, a gust of wind blew from the window. In the silence, the candlelight flickered on the table, reflecting Ian's face uncertainly.

He suddenly spoke: "Sid, after turning over the commission, I plan to act alone for a while. ”

Sid was stunned: "Acting alone, what do you want to do?"

"There are some things to investigate, there is no danger, you don't have to accompany me. Ian joked, "At this time, you can go have a baby or something." ”

After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Jinx, who pretended not to hear and got up to pour the wine.

Sid punched Ian in the shoulder, "Stinky boy, what nonsense." What do you want to look up?"

Ian breathed a sigh of relief, and instead of answering his question, he asked rhetorically, "What was the situation when you received the commission from Kush Town, and do you still have any impressions?"

"Kush Town...... The case of missing persons?"

"Hmm. ”

"Hmm...... It's nothing special, I went to the Mercenary Guild to try my luck and see if there was any ......"

"Low-risk, high-reward commission?" Ian interjected with a smile.

"Haha, yes. Sid doesn't deny it, after all, he has always held such a principle to find a commission since he became a mercenary, in fact, it is also considering that Ian is still young and has little actual combat experience.

"And then it was good luck – at least that's what I thought. I was wandering around in front of the commission bulletin board, looking at the contents of the commission letter one by one, and a receptionist came over with a new request to post it. ”

"Sticking to you?" Ian asked.

"Did you stalk me that day?" Sid couldn't help but scream, and then hurriedly glanced at the room where Giggs was sleeping, and continued in a low voice, "It's next to me, and he still talks to me!"
