29 Wolves
Apparently, the members of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment in the Dunes hadn't reacted yet, or they didn't seem to be planning to release him because of Corvina's words.
Seeing that her companions were indifferent, Corvina was anxious, she secretly glanced at Nicole, who was frowning beside her, and said word by word to the seven companions in the dunes:
"Hurry up and let the man go, that man is this sister's companion, can't you hear?" After speaking, she didn't look at her companion anymore, and said directly to Nicole: "Sister Nicole, I'm sorry, maybe my companions are not very good at the ears blown by the sandstorm just now." As for kidnapping your companions, I'm really sorry, you also know that the Thera Desert is not safer than Rocky Town, and other mercenary groups in this field are likely to kill people and plunder, and my companions are too cautious. ”
In response to Corvina's explanation, Nicole nodded in agreement,
She has never been a mercenary, but she is still relatively clear about the law of the jungle among mercenaries. To put it mildly, many mercenaries are human in places with a lot of people, and wolves in places with fewer people, which is why she began to forcibly pull Violet into the gang in order to protect her.
Corvina's solemn tone worked, and her companions on the dunes discussed silently, and then patted their heads as if they had suddenly realized and untied Gorman and apologized:
"Oh, this brother, I'm so sorry. You said that we suddenly met someone in this big desert, and we really didn't dare to worry. Don't be surprised. ”
At this time, seeing Gorman being released, the anger in Nicole's heart dissipated, after all, Corvina's explanation made her believe it five points earlier.
Gorman walked up to Nicole without saying a word, and then stretched out his hand to the other people: "Give me back my money." ”
As soon as they heard that this guy wanted to take back the more than three hundred gold coins that they had previously found from him, the faces of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group suddenly changed.
More than 300 gold coins, which can be obtained by doing a difficult task for a strong person of Nicole's strength, but for an ordinary mercenary group like them, ten tasks may not add up to 30 gold coins!
So if this huge amount of money is to be returned intact, they must not be happy.
The leader of the mercenary group, the one-eyed wolf, simply gave the others a look, and when they saw it, they immediately moved their feet to surround Nicole and Goldman.
As a senior member of the group, Covina naturally knew their leader's plan, so she didn't wait for everyone to make a move, she hurriedly said in a loud voice: "One-eyed wolf, what are you doing?" Did you take this big brother's money? Give it back to someone! We're a serious mercenary group, we can't do this kind of thing! ”
The one-eyed wolf is the leader of the mercenary group! At this time, he was scolded by Covina like this, and he immediately heard the voiceover with a delicate mind, so he pretended to bow his waist like a dog, trotted to Covina and took out Goldman's money bag and said:
"Deputy Head Corvina, we know it's wrong, this is this gentleman's money bag."
The reason why he chose to hand it to Corvina instead of returning it directly to Goldman was also the scheming of the blindfolded regimental commander, who wanted Corvina to weigh the hundreds of gold coins for herself.
However, he didn't expect that Corvina didn't even feel the bag of money through the money bag and handed it to Gorman without hesitation, and after seeing the latter accept it with an unhappy face, she said to Nicole with envy:
"Sister Nicole, I envy you White Duck mercenary group for having a strong person like you, it's too difficult for a small mercenary group like ours to make money."
After listening to Covina's compliment, Nicole responded with a smile: "Sister Covina, you are also very powerful, you are actually the deputy head of the regiment." Where's your leader? ”
When Corvina heard this, she immediately spread her hands and said, "Our regimental leader is a slacker, and he gave us the task, and he stayed in Rocky Town to enjoy himself." ”
Nicole nodded sympathetically at this, because there were two such guys in her own mercenary group.
The one-eyed wolf really didn't dare to act rashly at this time, and Corvina just judged that the other party was a master based on the strength of Nicole's grip on her hand.
But as the leader of the mercenary group, he was shocked when he heard the words White Duck mercenary group, because he had heard this name! I heard that this mercenary group has a super master in charge, and the leader seems to be a duck.
He looked at Freel in Nicole's arms, and immediately understood why the most greedy Corvina would spit out the fat in her hand,
This time I really met a strong man!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly made a welcoming gesture and said to Nicole:
"Since we are friends when we meet, why don't we all sit down and have a meal together."
As a mercenary group with ten mercenaries, they are not as light as Nicole, and there are members of the Wolf Mercenary Group who are responsible for everyone's daily life. Such members do not need to fight, they only need to carry field props such as kitchen utensils and tents.
Still Corvina was careful, she saw that when the one-eyed wolf leader said these words, Gao Man's brows furrowed deeply, and she quickly glared at the one-eyed wolf and scolded: "Okay, you hurry up and prepare, don't be an eyesore here!" ”
When the one-eyed wolf saw Corvina's gaze glancing towards Goldman, he also noticed the latter's puzzled expression, and immediately knew that he was a little exposed, so he hurriedly went to help lay the floor and arrange the food.
But in fact, although he reacted quickly, he still did not escape Gorman's suspicion, after all, during his abduction, this guy called One-Eyed Wolf was not like this, as if he was the leader of these people.
So he asked as if unintentionally, "I don't know what the name of your mercenary group is?" ”
"Wolf Mercenary Regiment," Violet replied.
As soon as she spoke, the eyes of the male members of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group were straight, and the elf girl had been hiding behind Nicole because of her cowardice, but now she suddenly spoke, and everyone realized that there was an elf girl who was worth more than Gao Man's money bag!
Of course, because of the silent warning from Corvina's eyes, everyone didn't dare to do anything, but everyone's breathing was undoubtedly a lot heavier.
As for Gao Man, after hearing the name of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group, he said pointedly: "How did I hear that there is a Bad Wolf Mercenary Group with a bad reputation, it shouldn't be a noble mercenary group, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even Covina's face changed,
That's right, the reputation of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group is indeed bad, after all, they do more than the task of ruthlessly plundering other mercenary groups.
If this slightly handsome human man really knew about the situation of the mercenary group, then it would be useless for them to hide it now, it would be better to do it directly.
At the critical moment, the one-eyed wolf was still bold and careful, and he took a step ahead of Corvina and denied it with a smile:
"This brother, you are too hearsay, our mercenary group is all serious people, isn't the deputy head of the regiment?"
Covina was reminded, and hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's it, Brother Gaoman, I don't want you to say that, little sister." ”
Nicole still trusts Corvina more, so she also helped: "Where did you hear about this, Gorman, could it be that you were kidnapped by someone and still hold a grudge?" ”
In fact, Goldman was just bluffing just now, and at this time, he listened to Nicole's speech, and he didn't say more, and muttered twice and sat on the mat with Nicole.
After everyone sat down, Corina took the lead in holding the wine glass and said: "Our head is not here, I will give Sister Nicole a glass on his behalf, it is really my luck to know such a powerful master as you." ”
Nicole was smiling and about to drink, but she heard a sudden cry not far away: "Wait a minute! Don't drink! ”
The sudden sound made the smile on Corvina's face disappear instantly,
She didn't recognize this voice, it seemed that it should be this Nicole's companion,
And it sounds like the owner of this voice is around, I'm afraid I've been here for a while.
The most important thing is why the other party wants to stop Nicole from drinking, could it be that the head of the regiment still took it upon himself to poison the wine and let Nicole's companions find out?
Nicole lowered her glass when she heard Heloise's voice, in fact, the last thing she worried about was Heloise,
Although she is the youngest in the mercenary group, as a thief, she should be the most survivable person after herself.
That's why she didn't rush to ask Corvina to send someone to find Heroise after seeing Goldman.
"Heloise, you've been here?"
When Nicole asked this sentence, she complained to herself, obviously, although she is strong, her perception ability must be the strongest among these people.
But neither Violet nor Heloise perceived it in advance,
Her strength and perception ability are indeed strong, but she has really experienced too few actual battles, especially in this vast desert, and she doesn't know how to use her perception ability, so she didn't realize that Heloise was actually here all along.
After listening to Nicole's questioning, Corvina and the others were extremely nervous, after all, the wine was poured by the leader of the one-eyed wolf, and no one knew if he had done anything and was discovered.
But then Heloise's words made these people completely relieved:
"Yes, I've been there, I was looking for a chance to save Gorman first, but I didn't expect them to be bad people. And most importantly! Heloise pursed her lips: "You must take me with you for dinner!" ”
With that, she pushed Goldman aside and sat down next to Nicole.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, he waved his hand very familiarly and said, "Don't be stunned, don't be polite to me, eat, eat." ”
As she spoke, she picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it, and while gnawing it, she still said indistinctly: "The meat of this chicken is too dry, if you want me to say that we should find a chance to eat the head of the regiment, it must be delicious." Look at that leg, how fat. ”
Hearing this, Nicole raised her small fist and knocked the red-haired girl's skull, and then snorted coldly: "Don't fight the idea of the regiment leader!" ”
At this time, the one-eyed wolf, who had lifted the crisis, took advantage of the topic to ask:
"Miss Nicole, is the leader of your mercenary group this duck? That's amazing, isn't it? ”
Then, he kept dragging this topic and talked to Nicole, although he never got Freel's exact information, but at least he chatted with Nicole back and forth, so it was not lively.
In this way, the two mercenary groups ate like this until the evening.
