Hearing Sui Yu's question, Bard looked around cautiously and found that Ai Xue was not at the scene, as if after going hunting with others just now, he showed a wry smile to Sui Yu and said, "Actually, we are also for her good." ”

"For Ai Xue's good? If you are good for others, you will drive them away?! "Sui Yu really can't understand Bard's logic.

Sighing, Bud lowered his voice and explained, "Didn't you notice? Ai Xue's equipment is so ordinary, so ordinary that it barely has any increase in her strength! ”

"Is there one?" Sui Yu really didn't pay attention to Ai Xue's equipment, and it seemed that the most impressive thing was Ai Xue's metal stick staff that could be used as a weapon. And this is not unique in Sui Yu's opinion, you must know that he has a sword-shaped staff, and he is also surrounded by a real Hakoya who carries a staff in the shape of a huge scythe all day long. Even in Avalon, the Warlord Mages had longbow staffs, shortbow staffs, and even feather dusters (many of the Winged Maids used feather dusters or broomsticks as magic staffs).

Therefore, a staff that resembles a golden hoop rod doesn't seem to be anything special, so Sui Yu didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, after Bard's reminder, Sui Yu really found that Ai Xue, as a spellcaster, seemed to be a little too dull in the magic fluctuations on his body.

You must know that since the battle queens have entered the silver rank, because of the stimulation of the power of will, the magic elements around them are very active, especially after Rose took the time to improve some non-artifact-level equipment that used to be pressed in the warehouse, those enchanted equipment seems to have a lot of magic fluctuations.

Later, when Ress was researching a new artifact, she had to take the time to develop a skill that used the power of will to disguise magic fluctuations to deal with the rich sneak attack soul of their Supreme Sui Yu (such obvious magic fluctuations were discovered from a long distance, and they also sneaked up on a yarn).

However, the magic fluctuations around Ai Xue's body were very inconspicuous, and the leather armor she was wearing not only looked very broken, but also did not seem to be a mage's equipment - at least Sui Yu did not find any traces of enchantment from the leather armor.

It just so happened that Bard's halfling teammate Benedict was sitting not far away and was taking out tools from his backpack to make something, so Sui Yu suddenly sent out that the boots worn by the halfling like a child were obviously attached to magic runes, presumably after activation, it could reduce weight or increase speed for the halfling (generally boot enchantment is these two types, it can't always increase sharpness and then use it to use flirtatious legs, right?). ）。

In addition, there seem to be some props with faint magic fluctuations in the halfling's backpack, such as an enchanted telescope (I don't know if I can see through), an enchanted magnifying glass (I don't know if I can see the nucleus), and an enchanted dagger (this should increase sharpness, right?). Sui Yu was dazzled by all this—it just so happened that the halfling was sorting out the package at this time.

And that barbarian uncle doesn't need to look at anything else, that armor alone has at least a self-cleaning enchantment (otherwise it won't be as smooth as new), and the big shield and chain hammer are shining with magical brilliance, no matter how you look at it, it's not white equipment!

That half-elf girl deserves to have elven blood, but it gives people a feeling of being close to nature and looks a little out of contention, but although the curved bow doesn't seem to be very powerful, Sui Yu is very skeptical that under the dense increase in runes engraved on it, this thing will not play the effect of a Barrett sniper rifle!

At the last glance, Bard in front of him is relatively simple, but his long sword inserted in the scabbard, even through the scabbard, can faintly feel its active magic fluctuations, you don't have to think about it to know that the attack power of that thing is definitely not small, even if it is not as sharp as Sui Yu's Soul Eater, and it is not suitable for sneak attacks due to strong magic fluctuations, but in frontal combat, in terms of weapons alone, Bard is already qualified to fight Sui Yu against the sword!

Don't think that Sui Yu is weak just because Sui Yu was chased and killed by the Ergou Mercenary Group before, although Sui Yu is a half-hanger in terms of sword skills alone (a level 40 swordsman turned into a necromancer, naturally he is not even a half-hanger), it stands to reason that his sword skills should be relatively weak, but Sui Yu specially tried to compete with the berserker named Da Niu, the leader of the Ergou Mercenary Group, before leaving Avalon. Even if the other party was frightened by the war queens who followed Sui Yu, they didn't dare to show all their strength at the beginning, resulting in being chased and cut by Sui Yu, but after Sui Yu deliberately arranged for the war queen to use the fear technique to stimulate the berserker of the big bull, the two still fought evenly.

You must know that Sui Yu's attribute growth itself is mediocre because it is too average, and now relying on sword skills alone to fight a draw with a gold-level warrior who has lost his mind and can only use brute force is enough to show Sui Yu's sword skill level.

Therefore, Sui Yu, who gave Bard a person who was qualified to judge the sword with himself, did not underestimate Bard, but really looked down on the other party. And this kind of high look stems from the long sword that has not yet appeared!

This is enough to show how much good weapons and equipment can improve the professional-you must know that Bard and the others are only silver rank!

Thinking that Ai Xue's teammates all had a large amount of enchanted equipment to improve their strength, but Ai Xue's own equipment was so shabby, Sui Yu, who spoke more straightforwardly, asked Bard directly: "You won't give her compensation to the pit, right?" Otherwise, why is her equipment so shabby?! ”

Smiling bitterly, continuing to smile bitterly, or smiling bitterly, Bard said to Sui Yu helplessly: "If I were really that kind of person, this team would have broken up a long time ago, right?!" And it's not like you haven't seen that Miranda cares about Ai Xueke absolutely sincerely! ”

Speaking of this, Bard pondered for a while and continued: "Although it is very immoral to be a mercenary to inquire about other people's past, or to betray the information of your teammates, I see that you seem to have recruited Ai Xue into the team not to value her combat strength, so there are some things I want to say to you, it should be fine!" ”

Sui Yu had already felt the strong sense of disobedience between Bud's team and Ai Xue, and under Bud's reminder, Sui Yu suddenly realized that the real world actually didn't seem to be much different from the game world in some aspects - the level of strength is directly related to the quality of equipment!

They are also silver-level mercenaries, those with good equipment and those without good equipment, the gap in their combat effectiveness is very huge, and it can even be called a chasm!

Just like the two dog mercenary group used a lot of magic props to chase Sui Yu, who fled in embarrassment, and the mercenary union in Bryce Town was killed by Sui Yu even if they gathered the mercenaries in one town.

The realm gap between the individuals in this group is actually not too big - the Ergou Mercenary Group only has three gold-level professionals, and the number of silver-level professionals who participated in the siege of Sui Yu is only more than thirty, which is much less than the number of mercenaries in the entire Bryce Town.

But the results of the battle are diametrically opposite, on the one hand, if it weren't for the arrival of the war queens, I am afraid that they would have to help Sui Yu test whether the player's resurrection system is working properly in the real world, while the other side has been wiped out.

Obviously, after the final calculation, it was concluded that good equipment is the key to determining the level of combat effectiveness - RMB players can't afford to be hurt!

"Hey! Are you listening?! Seeing Sui Yu's fugue foreign object, Bard waved his hand in front of Sui Yu's eyes with some dissatisfaction to remind him that he had been talking.

"Well, I'm sorry!" Sui Yu was a little embarrassed and explained with an apologetic smile: "When I was a child, I went to school and fell into trouble, and I habitually wandered when I encountered a tirade!" ”

Bud's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly lowered his head and pretended to tie his shoes, while muttering, "If you don't want to listen, forget it......"

"Don't! You keep talking! Sui Yu just wanted to know about Ai Xue's new teammate's past, and when he heard this, he immediately persuaded Bud: "What did you want to tell me about Ai Xue's past just now?" Let's talk about it! I'm listening, and I promise not to spread it! ”

"You're not listening!" Bud sighed (Bud seemed to have been sighing since he saw Ai Xue join Sui Yu's team) and continued: "Actually, we don't know much about Ai Xue, because of the unspoken rules of the mercenary world, heroes don't ask where they come from!" But in the past year or so, we have also learned a little that Ai Xue should have a certain background. As a spellcaster, Ai Xue seems to know a lot of knowledge that ordinary people can't touch, and even has the access to the Royal Capital Magic Academy to consult some information about the occult, so it can be said that she is very good at intelligence gathering. ”

Hearing that Bard actually gave such a high evaluation of Ai Xue, Sui Yu's doubts became even more: "Then you still let her leave your team, this ability alone is enough for you to support her for free, right?" ”

"Yes! If we were a mercenary group, we would naturally be willing to support Ai Xue, but we are just a mercenary team, and after the money we earn is divided equally, we will use all the money to purchase equipment to strengthen ourselves, and there will be no money left to support a talent who is only outstanding in intelligence acquisition. ”

Bard sighed and continued to explain: "Originally, when Ai Xue first joined the team, everyone's equipment was not very good, so Ai Xue's strength was exactly the same as the level of our team, so everyone was very happy to join Ai Xue. ”

"However, this year's mercenary career has greatly updated all of our equipment, and our strength has also improved a lot. However, although Ai Xue's strength has also improved greatly, because she is still wearing the same equipment as when she joined the team, her combat ability has become more and more unable to keep up with the development of the team. Especially in the last few missions, we have had to dedicate special personnel to protect Ai Xue during dangerous missions. ”

"So you let her go?!" Sui Yu's tone was still a little dissatisfied, but he also understood Bard's distress.

So Sui Yu asked Bard a little strangely: "Then why didn't Ai Xue update his equipment?" ”

Sui Yu didn't suspect that Bard and they were deducting wages, otherwise Ai Xue wouldn't be so happy when she saw Bard and the others.

Sure enough, Bard replied, "She seems to have sent all the money home through the Goblin Bank!" Benedict found out about this by accident, and we asked Ai Xue about it, and although she didn't explain it too clearly, it seemed that she was basically using money to support her family. ”

Hearing this, Sui Yu said coldly to Bard with some contempt: "Supporting a family? Since you know that Ai Xue is not easy, you still drove her away in cold blood, and you didn't even arrange a way back for her?! ”

"Who said that!" Bard slapped his thigh a little angrily and said to Sui Yu angrily: "We persuaded Ai Xue to leave the team to find a job in making magic scrolls or simply open her own shop after we made sure that Ai Xue had mastered the skill of drawing magic scrolls in addition to her combat ability, but we didn't expect that she would join your mercenary group after we took over the task and left Bryce Town!" Therefore, I told you so much, just to let you, the head of the group, know that Ai Xue is not a vase, she is very capable! Perhaps, she can only truly show her talents in the mercenary group! ”

After understanding that Bard and they were already benevolent, Sui Yu finally stopped worrying about Bard and their drive away Ai Xue, so the two started chatting about Tiannan and Haibei.

During the chat, Sui Yu also casually asked Bard what tasks their mercenary team had received, wanting to see if they could walk together to help each other, but they were prevaricated by Bard.

Since Bard was reluctant to talk more about the situation of the mission, Sui Yu was not strong, so the two of them began to talk about some customs and customs, and by the way, they obtained information about the situation of nearby countries from Bard's mouth, as well as what it was like outside the human country.

However, although Bard has experienced a lot of things in the north and south, in general, their footprints have not exceeded the Taraya Kingdom, so Sui Yu's information has not been obtained much in the end.

"Hey! It's a hassle! Sui Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart: "In the past, when I read online novels, the protagonist could know how many continents and countries there are in this world, and even the level of force from low to high can be seen at a glance, and you can even judge what level you are in the new world without collecting relevant data in any actual combat." How did you get to me is a lot of trouble, it's been almost three months, and even the human kingdom has those countries that have not obtained this level of intelligence, it's really a failure! ”

Sui Yu, who gave up on himself, couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "Could it be that the reason why the protagonist of other people's families mixes so well is because the old farmer who told the protagonist a lot of information was actually arranged by GM?!" Either the protagonist is hanging! Otherwise, where would it be so easy to get information?! But not all the worlds have Du Niang! ”

In this way, in the casual conversation between Sui Yu and Bard, Ai Xue and the others, who went out hunting, came back.

Along with Ai Xue and the others on the hunt was Miranda, the half-elf from Bard's team.

As soon as Miranda returned, she ran to Bard with a surprised look on her face and chirped, "Oh my God! The people of the Heavenly Spirit Mercenary Group are also too powerful! The girl named Hakoya was carrying a big scythe, and I thought she was a warrior! It turned out to be a very rare space mage! Bud, you didn't see it, Biu's disappeared in one fell swoop, and then the prey was pierced by the huge scythe, and it was killed without even any resistance! It's amazing! ”

Seeing Miranda making such a fuss, Sui Yu sighed in his heart: "I really didn't see that this half-elf with a quiet expression turned out to be such an enthusiastic and unrestrained girl!" ”

At this time, the war queens also set up their tents for the night's stay. There were four tents in total, and they were arranged in a very strange way, with three ordinary-looking tents arranged in a triangle, and a very ornate looking tent in the middle - needless to say, that tent was built for Sui Yu!

"You're back just in time! We're almost ready to cook! Philomena beckoned the warriors who had returned from the hunt and the new Ai Xue, and then began to issue orders in an orderly manner, directing everyone to divide labor and start preparing dinner.

Dressed in aqua blue robes, Wendy, the battle queen, is the best of the water mages in Avalon, and she was sent by Philomena to prepare bath water for Sui Yu by the small river next to her - after knowing that Sui Yu likes to take hot baths, Philomena specially made a large bathtub large enough to stay for two people and put it in the space ring to prepare for Sui Yu to take a comfortable bath every night (of course, if she can bathe with Sui Yu, Philomena is very willing, but unfortunately, a certain unscrupulous sister watches closely...... ）。

When Wendy came to the river, she suddenly found that the thief Benedict, who had halfling blood, was actually fishing with a homemade fishing rod, and then Wendy's eyes lit up and she snapped her fingers, and immediately several large fat fish in the river were lifted out of the water by the current and thrown at Wendy's feet.

"I don't know if U-sama likes to eat fish, anyway, it's not too much trouble, I'll get more!" Wendy stretched her hands forward slightly as she muttered to herself, and a large number of splashes began to roll around, gradually bringing many fish together.

"Wendy, what are you doing?! Why is it thirty seconds late?! "Dressed in a fiery red magic robe and with dazzling red hair, Selena is not only the strongest of the fire mages, but also a member of the Sacred Wing Maids.

So she was naturally promoted to the head maid by Philomena, and even when she was serving Sui Yu, even Philomena had to listen to the professional's command.

And this hot-tempered head maid is very strict with time, no, after noticing that Wendy's movements are slow, she came to find someone.

"I suddenly noticed that there were fish in the river, so I caught some and planned to make a fish soup. However, I also thought that U-sama might like fried or grilled fish, so I planned to catch more and make some of everything, so that I could satisfy U-sama's appetite! ”

After listening to Wendy's explanation, Serena nodded and praised Wendy with a praising face: "Not bad! Being able to think about your master anytime and anywhere, you are already a beginner in the maid road! ”

Then Serena stretched out her index finger and shook it, and continued to say to Wendy, "But you're not doing enough! Efficiency is a maid's life! ”

After saying this, Serena raised her hand and opened her five fingers, pointed her palm at the river, and said to Wendy, "Let's make fish soup for those fish you caught before!" And these fish are grilled or fried! ”

With that, a dazzling fireball instantly appeared in Serena's hand, and then she gently pushed it into the river.

Rumble! A large amount of water splashed everywhere, and Serena muttered with some self-reproach: "The power of the Flame Explosion Technique seems to be a bit great, but overall it's not a big problem!" ”

At this time, with a large amount of splashes from the Flame Blasting Technique, the group of fresh fish that Wendy had gathered before he had time to catch them one by one with the water flow entanglement magic had been blown up and splashed in all directions, but soon, these splashed fish were fixed in mid-air as if controlled by some mysterious force, and then flew in a line to Serena's side and automatically formed a ball and levitated on Serena's right hand.

Wendy exclaimed with reverence: "Sister Serena is worthy of being the elite of the Holy Wing Maids, not only does she control the violent fire magic so exquisitely, but also has such a strong spiritual magic!" It's so enviable, it makes me want to practice spiritual magic! ”

"Hmmm! I'll teach you when I'm free! Tell you, spiritual magic is the most important thing in the maid's way! ”

As the conversation of the two women faded away, Benedict, who was already petrified sitting by the river with a fishing rod, looked at his fishing rod, then at the small fish in the basket beside him, and then at the river that had returned to calm. Then the halfling sighed helplessly, released the little fish, and then threw away the improvised fishing rod that had just been made and returned to the camp - don't stew fish soup tonight, shame!

Benedict thought he had been shocked enough, but when the halfling thieves had just returned to the camp, he found that his companion was also in a petrified state at this time, and his eyes were straight, and then he looked at everyone's line of sight, Benedict shouted in his heart: "What is this?!" ”
