Gross roughly talked about what happened in the White Pigeon Village, but when he talked about the lich, not only the children, but also the adults present also cast excited or surprised glances one by one, most of the people in the Northland grew up listening to the stories of ghosts and elves, and the undead are also an extremely common material-

In folklore, the undead are keen to dig graves and collect corpses, and evil lichs or necromancers often like to sacrifice the living, eat human brains raw, and use blood as a delicious drink......

In short, it is probably correct to describe it as "doing no evil".

When Gross thought of these stories, he couldn't help but feel a little funny-

The most brilliant lies are often half-truths, and those legends about the deceased are often found in the propaganda of the Church of the Holy Radiance. In fact, it is entirely possible to understand these things as an act of discrediting the enemy.

The spirits of the dead are filthy and evil, so the church, as the mortal enemy of the dead, naturally symbolizes the other side, holiness and justice.

Just like him, a bandit leader, in the eyes of the aristocracy, is definitely a villain, the heinous kind -

The condemned prisoners who were sent to the gallows never cared if there was one or two ropes around their necks, or more, and Gross didn't feel much pressure when he thought about what had happened in the past few moments.

However, this time Gross told a completely different story than those stories, and it was not the usual arrogant and indifferent priest who fought the lich head-on, but he and Miss Mage Radia, Stewart, and two mercenaries-

The crowd surrounded Gross, and when he said the last, and most crucial, and exciting part, the men all stared at each other, and then, in unison, turned their heads to look at Miss Mage.

With an unpredictable spell, the girl easily killed the lich of the awakened realm to scum in seconds.

The old men, the young men, and some lively children, all ran to the girl's side at this time, and marveled at them with a look of worship and admiration, and asked all kinds of strange questions.

"Miss Klein is amazing."

"What a misfortune it was for that lich to meet Miss Crane."

"What a desirable adventure story!"

"Sister Ladia, did you kill that badass lich?"

"Martial arts practice? I was suddenly disheartened and I wanted to learn spells......"

Gross's eloquence was not bad, and most of the people crowded around the girl at this time, and she smiled and seemed to enjoy the scene very much.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the bustle in Grey Rabbit Village had returned to its usual calm, the horses were led back to the stables, and Gross and Lady, led by Scott, looked at the wooden houses that had just been built.

Everything, the walls, the roof, the windows, and the chimneys, were completely finished, and a thin layer of shiny paulownia paint was applied to protect them from moisture and insects.

The window holes are not glassed for the time being, and in the interior of the house, there are already piles of large and small furniture, but on the flat floor, there are still piles of messy broken wood and wood chips.

"Boss, we need another day."

Scott said beside him. The carpenter's skills of these young men were not very skillful, but the furniture they made was sturdy and durable, and Gross slapped the bed board with his palm.

"Well done."

Gross doesn't shy away from his praise. After looking at this room, he came to several others-

In this vacant lot of Gray Rabbit Village, a row of brand-new wooden houses has been neatly repaired, and a drainage ditch more than 20 centimeters deep has been dug out, and in front of the door is a mess of Rosaceae shrubs, since the end of the New Year's festival, bright green shoots have quietly sprouted on the brown branches.

This is the countryside of Northland Nogo, and if it weren't for the fact that the continent has changed since then, Gross wouldn't mind living in seclusion, just like Stewart-

His gaze passed through the village, where Cameron and a few sturdy lads were carrying barrels to fetch water from the well, and the warm sunlight filled the fir forest with a blinding golden glow.

At this time, Scott, Oliver, Levine, and Ron happened to be following him.

He spoke slowly, and said his plan to go to Boomer to form a mercenary group - Oliver already knew Gross's mind and was not too surprised by this, while Scott, Levine, and Ron were stunned, and nearby, Barron and Orr also pricked up their ears.

Mercenary?

This business does not seem to be any more joyful than that of a bandit.

Orr knew that he only had some rough three-legged cat skills, and if he really did the mercenary business, he might be chopped up by someone at any point. Fortunately, his brain is quite flexible, and whenever he fights, he must choose to paddle and fish with wit.

"Boss, you're saying those stinky skeletons are going to appear on a large scale?"

Combined with what Gross just said, Scott was thoughtful - the bandit leader Gross has always been meticulous, and what he said must be more than just telling a story.

In the last few months, they have traveled to many places, and although Gross did not explain the reason in detail, it is difficult to believe that there is no purpose to say that they have no purpose.

"Chief, I approve of your plan. Since the end of the 'Fog Pine War', those noble lords seem to have relieved themselves. ”

Levin nodded in agreement with Gross, "At the moment, the situation in Nogo may change somewhat. ”

Before the New Year's festival, it was already a fairly obvious sign that a noble knight had led his men to the Ampton mines, and Levin's experience was much richer than the others, and he was by no means unaware.

The plan to form a mercenary group, Gross quickly announced the candidates in front of them, Scott, Oliver, Levine, Cameron - the few people he selected, Cameron, who was the least powerful, also had the power of the first rank.

At present, it is indeed dangerous for other bandit group companions who have not yet taken up their jobs to go to Ensada to face the dead of Dir.

"Where's Miss Crane?"

As usual, Gross's decision was not questioned in any way, and Oliver looked around when he heard Gross's arrangement, only to find that Miss Mage was not present—the girl and Gross were inseparably separated during their usual days in the Ampton mines, and it was rare to see such a scene.

"I've told her, and she's said yes."

Speaking of the girl, Gross found that she was the one who gained the most from this trip to White Pigeon Village. Not only did he kill Spike the Lich and get a lot of experience points from the inaugural rank of LV21, but he also gained an extremely precious "Pupil of Mourning" -

And in the context of the historical plot of the "Rebellion of Ambition", the role that an inaugural high-level mage can play cannot be underestimated.

The girl is also one of the indispensable members of Gross's heart, and her importance is far greater than that of his companions.
