"Shepherd's Ocarina", inside the room.

The leader of the Talon Mercenary Regiment, Girond frowned.

He saw the young man walking north with his companion on the windowsill - the streets of the town were scarcely populated in this terrible weather, and no one would brave the snow unless necessary.

And seeing their appearance, Ginod was sure that this group was not wandering around without purpose.

"Are they going to do something? Captain. ”

Noticing the solemn look on Ginnod's face, Mavi asked.

He turned his head to see Helwig beside him, and the two of them crossed their eyes slightly, and quickly crossed each other—in the Talon Mercenary Regiment, Ma Wei and Helweig did not have a good personality.

The captain of the First Brigade was also staring out of the window, and outside the tavern, there were some evergreen shrubs planted in the flower beds on the side of the street, but unfortunately they were covered by a thick layer of snow.

The Talon Mercenary Regiment is a regular large mercenary group of the Boomer Mercenary Guild, with a total of three brigades.

Normally, there is a rotation of personnel going out on missions at regular intervals, and these days, the team responsible for staying at the station is the third brigade of the mercenary group. The 2nd Brigade went to the Dorthis Plains in Lazis, while the 1st Brigade followed the regimental commander Ginod to the Seris region of Nogo.

"They? I can't confirm it for the time being, maybe there's something. ”

Gynod watched the young man's shield disappear into the street, and he seemed to have some bad premonition in his heart. In fact, the big man who entrusted the mission gave quite a generous commission, but as a veteran mercenary leader, he knew very well that such a large amount of Rael was not so easy to take.

With great benefits comes great risk.

He remembered the mission of the trip, going to the graveyard of Viscount Afradi to get the object - it seemed like a simple task, but it was just an errand trip, but the big man kindly told him that there was a high chance that there would be rivals during the mission.

Of course, the contract notarized by the Mercenary Guild accurately states the key binding one: if they want this Rael to really fall into their pockets, then no matter what happens, they must get it.

Direction to the north?

On the wooden table, Ginod spread out a roll of parchment, a standard military map in fresh ink, with a bright red hand-rubbing indicating the date of its drawing, April 19, 553.

There is no doubt that the military map, which should have been strictly kept and forbidden from circulation, appeared in the hands of the mercenaries, and if there is no story here, no one will believe it-

However, this kind of thing, in the territory of the Elantra Kingdom, can get some rare materials through special channels, and it is often regarded as a skill to show off.

But Ginod was never such a superficial man.

According to the annotation, he quickly found the small town of White Rock in the Ceris region on the map, and his pupils suddenly contracted as his index finger landed on his head and swiped a little towards the hilly area due north.

"The resting place of the kingdom's hero?"

Helwig asked. He quickly thought of such a situation, and his green eyes rolled around, "Commander, you said those guys are soldiers of the kingdom, but I don't think that's the case. ”

"Huh?"

"I don't see any signs of long-term training on anyone else, except for the young man at the head."

Helvig paused for a moment and continued, "Perhaps, they are mercenaries too. Commander, you can pay attention to the footsteps and distance of those people, there is a lack of coordination and tacit understanding between each other......"

He had come from the regular army of the kingdom, and it was not unreasonable to say such a statement.

Obviously, after a little thought, the silent Ginod also believed this statement a little.

But Mavi, who has always been against Helweig, disagrees.

"But what about the little girl?"

He mentions Miss Mage, and he talks about the cute-looking Lady, with her long, silky blonde hair, whom Mavi has never remembered since they first met.

"Heh, you mean the noble lady? The head of the group said last night that the little girl seemed to be a mage. It's not uncommon for mages who occasionally go out to practice to join the mercenaries. ”

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Helweig's face, "By the way, I heard that someone was knocked out of his balls for molesting this little girl, is it true?" ”

"Bastard, I'm going to duel with you!"

The other party just poked at the sore spot of his heart and body, Ma Wei couldn't help but instantly flush his face, and he shouted loudly, his right hand had already fallen on the gauntlet of the sword at his waist.

A strong, powerful hand grabbed his wrist.

It was the head of the regiment, Gynold.

"I refuse, bullying the injured is not a moral act."

Helwig is still adding fuel to the fire -

In the mercenary group, Ma Wei and his strength are half a pound or two, and the two of them have fought many times in private, but each time the result is that both sides have blue noses and swollen faces, and no one can get any benefits.

These things, the head of the regiment, Gynold, naturally knows well. He does not encourage or oppose these private fights, after all, this is also the default rule of the mercenary line, and big fists are the last word.

It's just that at this time, it's obviously not suitable for these two boys to continue messing around.

"Alright, Helwig, shut up!"

Ginnod's eyes widened, his expression serious. He didn't have much beard and had a shaved chin, cheeks, and upper lip. Otherwise, if those whiskers were still there, maybe he would blow them up.

"I think it's okay to think of those people as competitors."

"Captain, that young man is a sword hero."

Leo, who had always been silent, reminded in a low voice at this time. Thinking of the sword he saw last night, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Jianhao? This is not the first time that our Talon Mercenary Regiment has encountered such an enemy, and I believe that the Captain already has a plan in his heart. ”

Hellwig disagreed.

In fact, in the world of Illusen, even if the swordsmanship is excellent to the point of a swordsman, it is not unstoppable as ordinary people imagine - even if the frontal swordsmanship cannot be beaten, but the battle of the mercenaries is not the same as a duel of honor. Sometimes, some other means are necessary.

I won't say much about these things on the surface, but as the leader of the mercenary group, Gynod understands.

When he came to the cyan hill in the Ceris region this time, he had also considered it accordingly.

The tavern's owner, Mr. Rovron, is not only an old friend of his, but also a well-traveled and well-known character who is said to have maintained a close relationship with some of the most important members of the Northland Legion.

He knew that in addition to the superficial accidents such as taverns, Rovren was also secretly selling those strictly controlled military supplies and weapons.

For example, the Foot Crossbow, which can shoot multiple bolts in a row, is a real weapon of war killing.

Gynod remembered the young man's sword, and couldn't help but touch his bulging Adam's apple.
