I thought it would be an ordinary to boring journey, but what I experienced in just two days and one night was even more exciting than what I experienced in Yunman for half a month.

Stroking the scabbard of the blade in his hand, the hunter's gaze fell into the distance.

The god of light is about to return to the Western Temple in his Sun Carriage, and the last fiery clouds before the night covers the sky, like a foreshadowing given by the gods, laying the groundwork for the cruelty to come.

"Actually, I don't really like inland cities like Dérew. ”

The employer walking beside her suddenly squeaked, and the wolf girl realized that both the prey and the hunter had arrived.

"So, Gagaya, you've been to a lot of other cities?"

"This is natural——— after all, my grandfather was a famous merchant among the duck people. ”

Looking at Gagaya who was solemnly wearing a helmet, Gray Dew nodded, letting the beast spirit that was tightly bound to the soul flow into every corner of his body.

As the sun was about to set over the horizon, she and Gagaya stood on the streets of the slums and smiled in unison.

"You don't seem to be making a lot of money, do you?"

"I'm really embarrassed, after all, the treasure on my body can make people rich overnight. ”

Pulling out the short knife given by Gagaya, Gray Dew lowered his body and tensed his muscles, "So, can I tear up the contract now?" Just by looking at it with the naked eye, you can see more than ten times the number of enemies on your side.

"Ga," Gagaya replied in a flat tone in the face of Gray Lu's half-joking, half-serious words, "If you plan to turn around and run away, the contract will be automatically voided." ”

"That's embarrassing - I wasn't going to do that. ”

"Here they are. With that, Gagaya drew his longest single-edged sword and set up a stance to meet it.

The duck people are very weak compared to the tooth wolf people, but they can swim and glide, so in the coastal areas along the river, there are still some autonomous organizations and tribes established by the duck people.

"I thought your weapon was a narrow-bladed scimitar. ”

"It's all single-edged, but it's pretty much the same. ”

Bang———

The sound of musket fire tore through the silence before the battle, and looking at the stone chips splashing around the claws, both the dew and the enemy understood that the shot was missing. He should have bought a good mana bullet.

"Gagaya, suffer death!"

With a loud shout, more than a dozen duck people with black scarves wrapped in their heads and beaks jumped down from both sides of the street, brandishing weapons and attacking the duck people and human wolves in the middle of the street. They also use single-edged swords.

The swift flapping of the duckman's wings fanned the strong wind, and for a moment the streets flew sand and rocks, and the gray dew who was surrounded in it couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly—she was not like Gagaya, who had a transparent membrane under her eyelids.

"I can handle five, the rest is up to you. ”

"No, you go and deal with the musketeer, and I'll take care of the ones on the ground. ”

As Gagaya drew his second single-edged sword and prepared to face it, the toothed wolf hunter who was back to back with him ripped open his robes and threw them with a short sword.

Despite the strong wind from the ducks' wings, the man-wolf girl's arms were clearly superior, and her robe, dragged by a dagger, slammed into an unprepared duckman killer against the wind, forcing him to stop.

At that moment, Gray Lu suddenly rushed forward two steps and turned around and squatted, stretched out his right arm and shouted to Gagaya, "Action!"

"Okga!"

Gagaya also threw a short sword, and after stopping the fastest killer, she turned and sped towards Grey Dew, leaping to her feet as she was about to collide, stepping on her outstretched right arm while holding his single-edged sword across his chest.

"Up!"

With a low roar, Gray Dew burst out with all the strength of his body and threw him towards the three-story building on the right side of the street. Unlike expected, Gagaya was heavier than the duck people he had hunted, but this height was not too much of a problem.

"Mu Gua be careful!"

"She's not human!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the human wolf and Gagaya gave up their defenses, the ducks who approached discovered the anomaly, but it was too late. While crouching down to quickly complete the pullback, the beast spirit that was tightly bound to the Gray Dew soul let out a silent wild laugh and entered the state of hunting.

"Duck Man"

"Just duck people. ”

The thin sword that stabbed forward quickly enlarged in front of Gray Dew's eyes, and at the moment when it was about to stab its target, the hunter's already tense left arm quickly lifted up, and the metal arm guard easily slammed away the thin sword.

The duck man also tried to change his moves, but Gray Lu didn't intend to give him a chance——— pulled back his right leg to exert force, and instantly sent the smiling human wolf girl to him.

Click-

The sound of bones breaking was not particularly loud, but the sound of those caring people on the street was very harsh.

When the duckman whose neck bone was broken by Gray Dew fell to the ground, the rest of the duckmen who attacked became afraid. Most of the duck people are excellent sailors, but they are not good at land warfare, and the man-wolf girl has experienced it many times in the cloudy mountains.

"Quack, ah, ah———"

The screams came to an abrupt end with the sound of bones shattering. The duckman shooter, who was holding a musket, was dragged down the third floor by Gagaya by the neck and fell to his death on the street.

The Duckman Killers remained encircled, but none of them were willing to attack first. Most of them are fighting for money, and if they put their lives on the line......

"0 to 2, we've got the lead. ”

"Well, but that's just the beginning of the first half. Although he was a little sorry for not telling Luxue how many enemies he had to face, Gagaya still pretended to take it for granted on the surface, and pointed at the guy with the spear among the killers, "But as long as you finish him out, you won't have to fight in the second half." ”

Gagaya's voice was not lowered, so the other party heard it too.

"Gagaya, your idea is very beautiful, but unfortunately, there is no chance to realize it!"

Under the astonished gaze of Grey Dew and Gagaya, the slum homeless people, who had been just sitting or standing on the side of the street watching the play, took out their weapons from the corners of their shelters and gathered around them like crows smelling the smell of rotting meat.

With nearly a hundred nomads joining the encirclement with weapons, Gagaya, who was standing back to back with Gray Lu, had the idea of smearing oil on the soles of his feet——— if a wolf mercenary dragged him, he still had a chance to escape.

"You didn't say that there are so many people who want to kill you. ”

Whether it was from the situation in front of him or the seventh sense of the beast spirit, Gray Dew judged that it was impossible to win unscathed. But if Gagaya, who hired himself, could help watch his back, it was not impossible to force him out.

Leaning down so that her left paw touched the ground, Grey Dew was ready to lunge forward.

"So, Gagaya, do you want to keep fighting?"

Seeing that Gagaya and the mercenaries of the human wolf clan in the center of the encirclement still did not intend to give up resistance, the black-feathered duck with the spear in his hand was shocked. Such a large-scale gathering of slum homeless people killing people in the streets will definitely attract the guards in a short time, so time is on Gagaya's side.

The most important thing is that he can't kill Gakaya directly.

"You don't have to ask that, do you? If you want to do it, you can do it directly. ”

"Give me that thing and let you live. ”

The other party actually directly stated his purpose in front of so many people, Gagaya was happy, and he was sure that he had a chance to escape smoothly, and he didn't have to forcibly break through.

"Oh, I don't think I have that with me. Returning the single-edged sword to its scabbard, Gagaya strode over to Grey Lu and stared at the black-feathered duckman with her, "If you want that, you can look through Dre City." ”

"Then I'll break your leg and ask slowly, see if you can say it. ”

"Then it's up to you to capture me alive. ”

Under the stunned gaze of the duckman killers, Gagaya took off her helmet and buried her head in front of Ash Lu.

"Mr. Gagaya?"

Realizing what Gagaya might be doing, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Gray Lu's mouth.

"Miss Luxue, if they attack, please break my neck with one claw. ”

"Gagaya, you madman!"

Seeing that the other party was panicking, Gagaya quietly put his left flipper into his pocket, and at the same time continued to launch a verbal offensive, "Hey, onlookers, orcs, subhumans, and human guys, what this guy wants is a priceless treasure of the town, I will hide it somewhere in Dre City where I have stayed, if you have the ability, you can also compete with this guy to find it first." ”

"If you find that thing, it's not impossible to become a rich man from now on. ”

Without having to do it again, Gray Lu simply opened her throat to help and muddy the water as much as possible.

Sure enough, the surrounding homeless people who had a murderous intent just now are now distancing themselves from the duck killers in groups of three or five and fighting their own little Jiujiu. An opportunity to get rich overnight is much more tempting than the two silver coins advanced by the duckman killer.

Looking at the homeless people who were gradually retreating, Gagaya raised his head to stare at his enemy's son, and mocked: "So, Jingyu, do you want to continue fighting?"

"Gagaya, I don't believe you can keep hiring such high-level orc mercenaries as executioners!

The Duckman Killers retreated much faster than they attacked, and when the street lights on both sides of the street were lit by the fire elves, only Grey Dew and Gagaya were still standing on the street.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Gagaya, who was still calm just now, had weak legs and sat down on the ground with a "snap", "Haah...... Well done, Miss Ruxue, as agreed, the wallets of the two of them belong to you. ”

Under Grey Dew's gaze, Gagaya removed a bag from his waist.

"I said that I had given ten silver coins before, and now I should have given another ten, but I only have gold coins left, and this is five gold coins, you can take it. ”

The bag was tossed, and Ash Lu caught it, indeed feeling the weight of the gold coin.

"Mr. Gagaya?"

This afternoon, when receiving novice guidance from the Mercenary Guild, Gray Lu had a general understanding of the fact that a self-governing alliance gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred and one East Wichel Kingdom silver coins, that is, ten thousand and one hundred copper plates.

That's a lot of money.

"Not only did you let me survive one more day, but I also had a chance to leave, and the extra was my gratitude. ”

"You're no ordinary duck man. ”

"Ahh ”

After saying such an inexplicable sentence, Gagaya stood up, retrieved the short sword she had thrown from the ground, and gave the wolf girl a salute she had never seen before.

Under Gray Lu's stunned gaze, Gagya stretched her wings on her back, ready to leave. He who has made a contract with the wind elves, as long as no one interferes, he can be temporarily unbound by the earth.

"We'll see you soon, Miss Luscher. "The buildings on the side of the street are not too high, and as long as you soar up and climb to the top, you can disappear into the night.

"Wait. ”

"Gah-"

Gagaya had barely taken off, and before he could even adjust his posture, a wolf paw grabbed its ankle from below and dragged it back to the ground.

"What do you want to do?!"

When the human wolf girl pressed herself from above with a playful smile, Gagaya felt the fear she had not felt for a long time. If this mercenary betrays himself, then ......

"Our contract isn't over yet. ”

"Gah?"

"The guards are coming...... Come with me when I've picked up the loot, and I'll find a way to escort you out. ”

Well, since the current problem can't be solved for a while, let's go back to the tailor's shop to solve the previous problem.
