CHAPTER XXI
Zhou Tao's body has been baptized by the elements, and after two months of death baptism, he is no longer the body of the young man who was only washed by vindictiveness. Although it is still so thin, it faintly has a force that bursts out xìng, and the whole person is like a lazy cheetah, but it can strike a fatal blow at a critical moment at any time. In this way, Zhou Tao can often walk on a day's journey without being tired, and even at night he travels overnight.
Zhou Tao really couldn't wait, he wanted to integrate into the life of that academy and gain more power. Zhou Tao, who had been trained on the second floor of the Luorì Forest, was really relaxed on the first layer, not to mention that there was a descendant of a divine beast that could only be fought against the king of Warcraft like Thunder Bear, so he naturally moved forward without pressure and resistance.
Within seven years, Zhou Tao had already left the forest. This next week, Zhou Tao finally encountered resistance, from the robber who occupied the mountain as the king. In these places, which are far away from the big cities, but are also some of the necessary routes, the robbers are ambushed here. If you encounter a large caravan, you will charge some travel expenses, and if it is a small caravan, you will simply grab a jīng light, which can be described as eating people without spitting out bones. A few days after Zhou Tao came out of the Rì Forest, he encountered a group of bandits with more than 100 people, Zhou Tao felt that the situation was not right, and released the second-level magic wind wings of the wind system, and quickly flew away from there. Maybe the robbers thought that there was no need to deal with such a doll, and only a few sparse swords only pierced through the sky, and finally couldn't withstand the gravitational pull of the center of the earth and fell, Zhou Tao still left there without danger.
Zhou Tao has learned to be obedient since that time, and has been casting the wings of the wind to move forward, so as not to encounter a similar situation again. Ordinary wind magicians naturally don't have this ability, but Zhou Tao's special elemental body makes the wind element continue to pour into his body, as long as you pay attention to the speed control, don't consume the magic too fast, there is no problem, but now Zhou Tao, who is tired enough during the day, has to find a safe place to rest at night, with darkness, safety when sleeping naturally don't have to worry. Zhou Tao hadn't realized at this time how immeasurable the benefits of such a physique would be in the future confrontation battle.
Finally, after about seven days, Zhou Tao finally arrived at a large city, although it was large, it was obviously far inferior to the original Tianshan City. After Zhou Tao arrived, he first found an inn to rest well, and even the flight of rì, although the magic power was up to date, but the loss of the jīng god could not be made up for by sleeping at night, and Zhou Tao had been resting from the three poles of rì until the sun set.
Stroll through the bustling market at night and see countless magic lights lighting up the city, which is truly beautiful.
The tireless shouts of merchants on the side of the street, and the seductive spirits of seductive women on the street corners, is this life? Zhou Tao knew that he was not qualified and did not have time to go in and enjoy anything, so he blew the wind and finally returned to the inn. The lazy Zhou Tao collapsed on the boat, not looking like a warrior at all, but there was a divine light shining in his eyes: What I didn't get will be mine in the end!
After a few times, Zhou Tao walked out of the inn, settled the money, and decided to follow a caravan to Bern, the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom, known as the city of never falling. In this way, there is no need to be tired and tired, and you can reach Bern safely with the big caravan.
After a while, following the guidance of passers-by, Zhou Tao came to a tall building in the center of the city, with a few big words "Mercenary Guild" in golden light. There was an endless stream of people in front of the door, a lively scene.
Not far in front of the door, there are several caravans on the corner of the street that are recruiting mercenary groups to ensure the safety of their trip.
"Hello!" A tall young man who was closer to Zhou Tao greeted him warmly, "Do you need to follow the caravan or join the mercenary group to join?" ”
"Oh? Is there any difference between the two? Zhou Tao asked with interest.
The man patiently replied, "Follow the caravan as long as you pay a certain amount of money, and then follow the caravan to the place you want to reach, and we will be responsible for your safety." If you join a team that protects you, you'll be assigned to a team where you can use your power when needed. After arriving at the destination, the leader of the team will distribute the commission according to the amount of strength and contribution, and the general organization is some large mercenary groups, and finally you can record it with magic on your mercenary badge. ”
Mercenary badges? Zhou Tao remembered the part of the rì that entered the shadow of the horse, but he didn't send any badges. Go and apply for one yourself?
Zhou Tao shook his head secretly, in his heart he had long regarded himself as a member of the Shadow Race, even if he needed the identity symbol of the mercenary, he would let the Shadow Run Mercenary Group send it to him!
"I see, my destination is Bern."
The man shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity, it's not our destination, but you can go there and ask." ”
Zhou Tao walked in the direction of the man's finger.
"I'm sorry, but is this a caravan bound for Bernier?"
A somewhat perverted man with a height of nearly two meters and strong muscles lowered his head and looked down at Zhou Tao and said in a rough voice: "We no longer accept travelers who need protection!" ”
"Really? Why? ”
"Our guest status is honorable." As he spoke, the tall man became a little impatient.
"Oh? But I can enlist as a mercenary. Zhou Tao said firmly.
"It's not a small time to be young." The man casually pulled out a long sword from behind, which was even taller than Zhou Tao's height, "Let me try your catties." ”
The sword obviously had an astonishing weight, but the man with developed limbs actually swung it flexibly and stiffly, Zhou Tao silently recited the wind magic in his mouth, and his body suddenly became lighter, and he quickly retreated backwards, which was able to dodge the long sword of somewhat unacceptable length, but the strong wind brought by the long sword was pulling Zhou Tao's body, Zhou Tao kept spinning his body in the air, and finally landed safely.
"Demon Martial Dual Cultivation?" The man was taken aback, the wind system magic that was quickly cast, and it was such a jīng Zhan's body control ability, it must be the few cultivators of the Demon Martial Dual Cultivation, "Okay, you have the strength to accompany you." ”
Zhou Tao nodded, and put his hand down from the hilt of the sword, this person's strength is really strong, especially the strange power, which really makes Zhou Tao feel frightened.
"Just follow me, and I'll pay you when you get to your destination. In this way, tomorrow is at the gate of the west city in the morning, and it is not waiting. ”
"Understood." Zhou Tao nodded and turned to leave.
The next time, Zhou Tao came to the gate of Xicheng early, and there were mercenaries who came to report to the team he belonged to, but the strength was really uneven, some Zhou Tao thought that he could defeat him without a magic sword, and some of them were frightened by the momentum alone.
Zhou Tao's eyes swept away, the long sword that was taller than Zhou Tao was really conspicuous, and Zhou Tao walked over quickly.
The man also saw Zhou Tao and greeted, "Here!" ”
Soon, Zhou Tao and those mercenaries hit the road together.
The man quickly opened up the conversation on the way, introducing himself as Oriel, a squad leader of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Regiment, one of the four A-class mercenary groups.
"Let me tell you, this escort is really a big shot!" Oriel whispered.
"Big shots? Who is it? Zhou Tao asked with interest.
"In that carriage, we were hired nearly 100 people this time, all of them to protect the people in the carriage."
Zhou Tao looked at the carriage thoughtfully, who was it? There will be such a big deal.
There are so many mercenaries to protect, almost no bandits dare to fight their ideas along the way, and occasionally there are strong bandits, and they will be released with a little toll, after all, this team has almost no goods, and at a glance you know that there is no oil and water, obviously escorting some big shots, and after the robbery, you will be subject to crazy revenge.
"Zhou Tao, there are still a few days to go to Bern, what are you going to do there?"
After a few years of getting along, Zhou Tao still likes this big guy, and replied in a dignified manner: "Pick up a girl!" Decisive is for the sake of pickling girls! ”
Oriel couldn't help but roll his eyes, knowing in his heart that Zhou Tao was joking, he was a demon martial arts double cultivator at a young age, maybe it was the heir of a big family who came out to exercise, he must not be offended, Oriel said to himself in his heart.
Suddenly, the whole team stopped, and the two looked at each other, but they were stopped by the bandits, and Oriel said to Zhou Tao, "You wait, I'll go up and see what's going on." ”
With that, Oriel sped to the front. Zhou Tao is not worried at all, there was such an incident a few days ago, and in the end it ended in harmony between the two sides, Zhou Tao still looked at the carriage with interest, Zhou Tao had not seen anyone in the carriage get down for a few days, and Zhou Tao's curiosity became heavier and heavier.
Zhou Tao squinted his eyes and thought about it, and finally walked to the carriage as if nothing happened, at this time most of the people focused on the negotiation with the bandits in front, and no one noticed Zhou Tao's movements.
Standing next to the carriage, others thought that Zhou Tao was a loyal guard, but in fact, Zhou Tao secretly put a wind system secret method, sound transmission magic, but the clever Zhou Tao turned around, so that the voice in the carriage came, this magic was created by the old man's master, and few people in the entire continent knew about this magic.
"Let me go out and have a look! I'm going to suffocate La! A cheerful female voice came.
"No! You're going to get into trouble again when you go out, my little princess! Can you please stop causing me any more trouble! ”
It turned out to be a princess! Zhou Tao was shocked, it turned out that the person who needed the protection of hundreds of people turned out to be a princess, but why didn't he let the regular army escort him? Zhou Tao faintly smelled a hint of yīn conspiracy.
"Ahh I don't care! If I continue like this, I'm going to go crazy sooner or later! Let Princess Ben out! ”
"Count! My little ancestor! Don't let anyone outside know that there's a princess here! Not really."
There was still a quarrel inside, but Zhou Tao strolled away
"What happened in the court, I don't have the heart to participate." Zhou Tao muttered to himself.
But when he turned to leave, there was a sound of fighting in front of him.
What bandits? Even clashed with a hundred mercenaries, still in an unprofitable situation.
