The bustling trade road, the long convoy is slowly moving forward.

The winter was cold and windy, and the winter of the Puang Empire was exceptionally cold this year. Except for a few merchants with outstanding strength and not too afraid of the cold, they all hid in the carriages.

Only a few of the mercenary guards took turns to stand outside, and the guards were all wearing thick fur clothes, and most of them were crammed into the flatbed carriages, close to each other to keep warm.

Of course, in such a cold weather, there is a high probability that there will be no robbers to rob, after all, it is cold, and the robbers are mostly rabble except for a few leaders, this kind of weather must be resting, if a few robbers and strong people do not bring their men down, it is to deliver food to the mercenary guards!

At this moment, Wright is holding his long hammer and huddled on the flatbed carriage with some other mercenaries to warm up and chat, and Xiaopeng Eagle, well, is now painting his feathers gray, and the little Elek, who is known to the outside world as the 'Gray Feather Eagle', nests in Wright's arms, and most of the Warcraft are also afraid of the cold, unless it is that kind of super giant high-level Warcraft!

In order to hide it, Wright even used the name of his previous life half-fake and half-true, and the character was a young mercenary from the Northland, who arrived in the imperial capital because of the escort mission, and was almost trapped in the cold winter and couldn't return home!

It's normal to say this, after all, mercenaries, especially professional escort mercenaries, are a profession that goes from south to north. It's more eye-catching with a half-sized gray feather eagle, but among the stronger mercenaries, there are not a few of them who have their own magical beasts.

"Brother Ming, you are from the Northland, do you say that the Northland is so cold in winter? How do I feel that this winter's wind can blow people's ears off! ”

A mercenary who was actually older than Breth, but already had a full beard on his face, shivered coldly.

Wright rolled his eyes: "Winter in the Northland, hehe, do you know how cold it is?!" There's a joke in the Northlands that a magician came to settle in the Northlands, and the first winter put water out of the water, and the thing froze, and it took a few spells to save it! ”

"Hahaha!" Several mercenaries around laughed, and even one of the mercenaries just took a sip of wine and burst out laughing.

The group of mercenaries has the characteristics of morality, commitment, and life and death, and their character is much higher than that of adventurers! But at the same time, there is also a bold and vulgar side. In addition, most of the men who are mercenaries are not high or low soldiers, and there are very few magicians, so they can be said to be both envious and a little contemptuous of magicians, so they like to listen to this kind of black magician's jokes and jokes!

"Come, Brother Ming, let's take a drink! Go to the cold," a man of the grade handed over a leather bag, "Haha, although this southern winter is not cold enough, it is wet and panicked, and it is useless to wear no amount of clothes." ”

"Thank you." Wright took the wine skin, took a big sip, and his eyes lit up, "Brother Luther is also a northerner?" It's 'red clay brew'! "Laterite brewing is a local specialty of the laterite province, a medium-strong liquor with a bright red color!

"Haha, I was also born in the Northland Province, and I am from Snow Eagle Castle, if Brother Ming goes back when, you can go to me!"

"That's a coincidence, I'm from Blue Castle, but Brother Luther is planning to go home and quit!"

"Yes, yes, the mercenary has been doing this for almost forty years, and it's time to stop and go home to live!"

Chatting and bragging among the mercenaries, Wright has never experienced a novel experience in this life, he was too young when he followed the Boulder Mercenary Group all the way eight years ago, and in the academy, most of the students of the magic academy are much more civilized, not so vulgar!

In the army of the previous life. The troops are also disciplined, okay!

It is impossible to go to the army if you go to the army, and it is impossible to go to the army to be a soldier in this life!

It's not okay to be an adventurer to hunt monsters, and you can only make a living by being a mercenary guard.

When I entered the caravan, I felt like I wanted to go home, and I didn't go back during the Magnolia Festival, and I felt much better inside than at home

The old brothers in it are all talents,

will brag again, hunt the holy realm monsters, and flirt with the noble lady or something......

I love being in the caravan!

Although it was cold, there was laughter and laughter in the caravan, and there were no robbers coming out under the cold, and the journey was quite smooth.

It's Wright's turn to guard outside again, and of course, once there is a situation, he will naturally blow the whistle and call out all the mercenary guards!

The area where Wright was stationed was the front of the caravan on the left, and he was joined by a very slick but experienced mercenary.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, the sharp-eyed Wright saw something.

"Old Dack, do you see if there's a guy lying on the ground over there!" Before he could finish speaking, Wright rode up on his horse to check.

Old Duck couldn't catch up, and sighed with some chagrin, "This kid is still young!" ”

Wright drove to see that there was a little girl of seven or eight years old, with a yellow complexion, thin, covered with a layer of frost, and had already lost her life at this moment.

Sighing, Wright swung his right hand with a long hammer.

"Bang!" With a bang, the snow and the ground were smashed into a large crater. After throwing the little girl's body in and covering it with soil, Wright drove his horse back to the caravan.

Seeing that Wright's face was a little gloomy, Old Duck patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

Along the way, several more bodies were found, and Wright couldn't help them pack up and bury them.

Seeing this, some of the mercenaries began to talk, while more remained silent. After all, one or two corpses fell to the side of the trade road, which is not surprising, but along the way, there are at least more than two hundred corpses on the road, according to Wright and several other hot-blooded young mercenaries, most of these people died of cold. Most of these mercenaries have been on the roaming for many years, and they have seen all kinds of shady things! A large number of people froze to death by the side of the caravan, maybe there is some big shady, it is better not to mix this matter!

"Brother Ming, how did you say these people died!" With a little fluff on his face, Fandari, a half-sized rookie mercenary, huddled next to Wright and asked! While on guard duty with Wright, he ran into a snow wolf that ran out of nowhere and was about to call for help. As a result, Wright knocked over the snow wolf with a single hammer! Since then, Fendari has been very convinced of Wright.

"I don't know!" This is not a lie, and being strong does not mean that you know everything. Wright tapped old Duck with his arm, the old mercenary was so experienced that he might be able to see something.

"You two boys, don't ask about this kind of thing, the devil knows what is behind us that these little people can't provoke!" Wright felt that the old mercenary's suggestion was actually very meaningful, after all, most mercenaries, strength is just the same thing, and it is better to protect yourself when you encounter this kind of thing!

Jaban City, a small city in Sunset Province. Although it is a small town, there are many caravans and various facilities.

In the tavern, the burning fireplace gives off a warm scent, and the caravan that has been walking in the snow for almost three days stops to rest!

"Cool!" The caravan's steward, Apas, and the old mercenary Dark, drank with their glasses, and although the warm ale was of average quality, it was comfortable to drink when they were tired. The two of them are also old acquaintances, and their friendship is very unusual, more than sixty years ago, Apas was just a young man in the Chamber of Commerce, and Darker had just made a living as a mercenary.

After drinking, Duck asked in a low voice, "Old man, do you have any news?" With so many corpses along the way, I, an old mercenary, were a little scared! ”

Apas looked back to the left and right with some caution, no one was looking at the two old men, and replied in a low voice: "Dark, I have also heard that there is such a thing, it is said that several small cities in Sunset Province have disappeared people. Someone saw that some black humanoid monsters kidnapped these people in the middle of the night! ”

"Humanoid monster!" Darker asked a little quirkily, "What humanoid monster?" Warcraft? ”

"If it's a monster, what kind of humanoid monster am I talking about! Those monsters look like people, with human faces, hands and feet, but with wings on their backs! ”

"Wings? It can't be magic, I know it works! "The old mercenary is not very strong, but he is experienced and well-informed, and he also knows that the magic of the wind system includes magic such as 'Wind Wings'.

"Those magic are the wings of elemental condensation, the wings of those humanoid monsters are entities, some meat, and one monster was broken by the powerhouse in Beilian City with half of its wings broken!"

"It seems that the monster is not strong, they don't dare to go to Beilian City!"

"Hehe, that strong man was found on the third day!"

"Then you kid will take the caravan this way!"

"First, I also learned about this halfway, and I contacted the Chamber of Commerce. When you have a good rest, you will change directions and go to the southeastern provinces in the south to sell goods, and the profits will be less, and it will be a big deal to lose the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce! ”

"Second, these monsters only occasionally catch some people in the small city at most, and no one has disappeared in this Jiaban City until now, don't forget that after the incident of the Mor family, Jaban City has stationed an army! That general was a ninth-level powerhouse. In some small villages, many people disappeared, and some villages even fled from the village, and the result was the same as you see! It was so cold that I froze to death on the way. ”

The two old men were talking softly, but they didn't know that ten meters away, Wright had listened to everything they had said word for word!

"Humanoid monster!" Wright muttered to himself, "What the hell? Forget it, don't get involved in this matter, anyway, the empire has an army stationed, and there is not much more than me, in case the assassins are recruited, it will be troublesome! ”
