Chapter 1781: Picking up the task
As the name suggests, this Ah Niu is really good, he wears heavy armor and is extremely large.
Peter continued, "Okay, I've finished introducing this here, what do you call your two friends?" ”
Su Yang smiled and said: "My name is Su Yang, her name is Ji Ruxian Zhu, we are not only partners, but also husband and wife." ”
Ji Ruxian Zhu nodded lightly to the four of Peter at this time, and said lightly: "Please advise." Her expression was so cold and so beautiful that no one else dared to look at her.
"Please advise." Peter returned the salute.
Hearing that the two were husband and wife, Peter and the four did not show a surprised expression, perhaps they had already guessed.
Peter said, "Then Mr. Su Yang, you can call us by our names." Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to get down to business so quickly, but let's talk about work. The task we took on this time was very difficult, otherwise we would not have sought the help of new adventurers. The mission is to escort a caravan to the Demon Warrior Holy City and protect the safety of all merchants and goods. ”
"Demon Martial Holy City?" This name was still quite unfamiliar to Su Yang, and he immediately asked, "What kind of place is the Demon Martial Holy City?" ”
Peter was surprised: "Brother Su Yang hasn't heard of it? ”
Su Yang shook his head and said, "Xian Zhu and I have been staying in an isolated place to cultivate before, so we are not very familiar with this continent. ”
"I see." Peter nodded, and did not doubt Su Yang's perfunctory explanation, "The Demon Martial Holy City is actually the place where the Demon Martial Royal Academy is located, and it is a school city that cultivates talents for various imperial kingdoms, and it can be said that it is a gathering place for the strong people of the whole continent, Nina has always wanted to enter the Demon Martial Arts Academy to study, but unfortunately he was born poorly and is not qualified to enter." ”
Su Yang saw a flash of gloom in Nina's eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "What?" Is it hard to get into the Demon Martial Arts Academy? ”
"Of course." Peter said: "Nobles have privileges, generally speaking, nobles only need to reach the strength of a first-order magician or second-order warrior before the age of ten to enter, and for us ordinary civilians, even if we can reach a magician or a first-order warrior before the age of ten, we must go through a lot of tests to enter the Demon Martial Academy, unless we can reach the second rank before the age of ten, so that we can enter directly regardless of identity, but this requirement is too high." ”
Su Yang said suspiciously: "Nina is already a fourth-order magician at such a young age, and it stands to reason that she should have reached the second-order before she was ten years old." ”
Peter smiled bitterly: "Nina has the blood of the elven race, he just looks young, but he is actually older than us, so there is no chance. ”
Su Yang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, there was no way to do it.
Peter said, "Don't talk about the things that are not happy. Let's talk about the mission. This time, we escorted the caravan to the Demon Martial Holy City, and we would definitely encounter attacks from demonic beasts along the way, and it was not impossible to encounter fifth-order demonic beasts. ”
Lu Kelute said: "Madame Xianzhu can use fifth-order magic, even if she encounters fifth-order demonic beasts, it won't be a problem, right?" ”
Generally speaking, the role of a magician of the same level is greater than that of a warrior, the two armies are opposed, and the magician's range magic is often a weapon that affects the situation of the battle, so the magicians of this world are more precious than the warriors, and the cultivation of magic depends on talent, and there are only a few people who have magical talents, but the fighting spirit is a big road commodity that everyone can cultivate, and it is rare and expensive, if there is a high-level mage in the team, it is undoubtedly a great guarantee.
Su Yang said with a smile: "The fifth-order demonic beast and I can solve it very easily. But before that, can you confirm the reward? ”
Peter slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, the pay is important. In principle, Su Yang and Xian Zhu, your team and our team work together, so the two teams share the remuneration equally. ”
Su Yang said with a smile: "Judging from the number of people in the team, this distribution is quite generous. "There are two teams of people, one side is a fifth-order and three fourth-order, and the other side is two fifth-order, so it is fair to distribute the remuneration equally.
Peter said: "But when the monster appears, you will be asked to take half of it, Brother Su Yang. The magic we can use is only up to the fourth rank. Factoring these two points into account, such an allocation should be reasonable. ”
Su Yang pretended to think for a while before nodding in agreement: "There is no problem with such a distribution, let's fight side by side together." ”
The next morning, the caravan set out from the North City and headed north.
There are two northbound routes, one is a short road, which can cross the forest, but this road is quite dangerous, and Peter and his party obviously dare not take this road, so they can only retreat and choose the second way, which is to move along the periphery of the forest, so that the monsters encountered will not be ridiculously strong. Of course, going around the forest makes the journey very long, and this is something that cannot be helped, and your own life is obviously more important than efficiency.
Leaving the city of Lantiyah, as the time approached noon, a large black and green dense primeval forest could be seen in the distance. The thick trees are lined up, and the lush foliage grows so wide that the sunlight cannot reach the forest, and the vision is poor, and there is even the illusion of being swallowed up by darkness. The mystery of the gaps between the trees as if they were opening their mouths to wait for their prey to fall into the trap is even more unsettling.
There were a total of ten carriages, all loaded with goods, and the ten carriages were escorted into the forest by Su Yang and his party of six people, and walked along the road around the forest. The caravan was responsible for driving and watching the car, and Su Yang and his party all rode around the convoy on horseback. The guerrilla Rucker Luke was at the front to investigate the situation in front of the road, and in the middle of the convoy was Su Yang, Ji Ruxianzhu and Peter, and in charge of the broken back were Nina and Ah Niu.
Because of the vast field of vision before, everyone didn't have much vigilance before this, but after coming here, Peter let out a slightly serious voice for the first time: "Brother Su Yang, this area has been a dangerous zone from the beginning. There won't be monsters that you can't handle, so be careful to be cautious. ”
"Understood." Su Yang nodded.
A few people chatted as they walked in the scorching sunlight as if they could scorch their skin, and the air was filled with a faint smell of grass.
I don't know how much time has passed.
"There's movement."
Rucker suddenly shouted in a somewhat nervous tone.
Everyone immediately put their hands on the handles of their weapons, and they all looked in the direction Rucruth was staring.
"Where?"
"There. Right there. ”
Hearing Peter's inquiry, Rucker Luct reached out and pointed to a corner of the vast forest. Because it is hidden in the woods, the view is not good, and there is no movement in sight. Even so, no one questioned it. If you want to chat with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
