Chapter 15: Maple Leaf Valley

"Why did we go so smoothly this way?" Zhou Xi accepted the payment for the trip with a sad face.

Fifteen gold-leaved grasses tinkled in the leather pockets.

"Who is on the road so that someone is afraid of someone robbing the road?" Qixia looked at his senior with a smile: "When I arrived at the destination, I began to complain that there was no turmoil." ”

"You know what!" Zhou Xi stood up to his own boss for the first time, and then looked at the sky: "The so-called protagonist, even if he goes to the tavern to have a glass of wine, there will be three or five big men as the main ones, and the beauties of the country will meet." ”

"If you dare to cross half of the Lanye Empire like us, you will be embarrassed to greet others without encountering a few gangsters and thieves on the way."

"How can there be a safe and sound road, and the greatest force ever is to go down and help lift the wheels that have sunken." Zhou Xi looked depressed: "It can be seen that we really don't have the protagonist's life." ”

"It also proves that our life is indeed not." Qixia patted Zhou Xi's shoulder, and the hall master didn't care about the counterattack of the Broken Rock Star Lord: "Then take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we are really surrounded by the three thousand men and horses of the Blazing Flame Legion, in the end, the person who will fight and die is not you, senior, but the body of one hundred and ten catties." ”

"So from that point of view, it's better if there are no surprises."

Zhou Xi thought about it carefully, and felt that the boss of Qixia really deserved to be the boss, and he thought about it much more than himself.

In case of any accidents, the Qixia boss can't deal with it, so it's not himself who is unlucky in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xi was relieved: "It's better not to be the protagonist, so boss, what are we going to do next?" ”

The two of them were standing at the door of the mercenary guild at this time, people coming and going, and no one glanced at these two seemingly ordinary young mercenaries.

This is Yanshi City, the easternmost city of the Lanye Empire, directly adjacent to the Sturt Empire, so the Fourth Legion of the Empire is stationed in charge of foreign conquests, even if the elite level is not as good as the First Legion guarding Gyeonggi, but in terms of scale and combat power, the Fourth Legion deserves to be the most formidable legion of the Lanye Empire.

Qixia smiled slightly, his red eyes with an elusive smile: "Naturally, I did something that a normal mercenary would do." ”

"Let's go find the biggest tavern for a few drinks, and then we'll go to the most luxurious casino and have a shake."

"These are all things that are not available in Ye Ye City, I wonder if the senior is interested?"

Zhou Xi's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he rubbed his palms embarrassedly: "Then, boss." ”

"There must be a repertoire."

Qixia showed a look of you know, I know, everyone knows, and waved his hand boldly.

"As long as we win, we will go to the biggest alley."

No one paid attention to them on the road, as if watching two of the most ordinary young mercenaries, born and dying to earn their first pot of gold, and then impatiently threw them into the wine cup and the woman's bed.

So no one can see that when Qixia lowered his head, he sighed softly.

"Yanshi City."

……

……

Lanyin County, Maple Leaf Valley.

In the mountain path covered with maple leaves, three girls walked together.

Ziquan walked at the front of the line with his usual rune essence sword in his hand.

Although the Demon Swordsman is not a strict melee class, at this moment, there is no doubt that Ziquan has to take on this role.

As a guide, the medicine girl paper clothes walked in the middle, and as an ordinary peasant girl who had not practiced magic and martial arts, the identity of the guide naturally had to be protected with the highest priority.

Lan Che held the crystal wand, and walked at the end with ease, she was the great magician of the light system, and the identity of the nobleman surnamed Lan gave her more hole cards to face unexpected situations, standing at the end, not only the queen of the palace, but also the best magic support for the team in time.

In the previous conversation with Paper Yi, Ziquan learned that there were no too powerful magical beasts in the Maple Leaf Valley, and the strongest magical beasts encountered by the adventure team entering the valley were only seventeen or eighteen.

Therefore, for the purpose of exercising, to make sure that there is not much danger, they will find medicine next.

Maple Leaf Valley is not far from Lanyin City, but it is more than forty miles, and if Ziquan rushes with all his strength, he can run back and forth in half an hour. But if you take the paper coat as a guide, there is no doubt that the speed will slow down. In the trade-off, they rented two fast horses, Ziquan was a magic swordsman, and the practice of riding was a must-have item, and for Lan Che, a decent nobleman, if he couldn't ride a horse, it would be a great ceremonial shame.

The original plan was for the three to leave early in the morning, and if it went well, they would rush back before dark, and if it didn't go well, they would be ready to camp out for the night and return the next day.

So after more than an hour of hurrying, Lan Che came to the mouth of the Maple Leaf Valley with the three people in paper clothes, only to see a huge bluestone that was artificially chiseled with an axe to carve the three big characters of the Maple Valley painted with cinnabar, Ziquan realized at this time that this Maple Valley was an important industry before it was occupied by demonic beasts.

As soon as he asked, Paper Yi told the two that Maple Leaf Valley was originally rich in all kinds of medicinal herbs, which was an important source of income for Lanyin City, and hundreds of medicinal farmers planted herbs on the periphery of Maple Leaf Valley, and occasionally entered the valley to pick rare spirit grasses.

Four years ago, demonic beasts suddenly began to appear in the Maple Leaf Valley, biting the medicine farmers who entered the valley to collect medicine, forcing most of the medicine farmers to abandon the industry here.

Encountering such a change, the city lord naturally couldn't ignore it, he led the troops to clear the monsters in the valley several times, the first few times were quite smooth, but every time they were cleaned up, there would be new monsters emerging from the valley, and the more they were cleaned, the more powerful and dense the monsters in the valley would be, in desperation, the former city lord was forced to give up this medicinal herb land.

In desperation, the parents of Paper Yi ventured into the valley in the hope of looking for a little rare medicinal materials to raise the capital to change careers to trade medicinal materials, but there was no unexpected wind and rain, and there was no news of it, leaving only twelve years old at the time to sell paper clothes into the city lord's mansion as a slave, so as to avoid the difficulty of living on the streets.

The three of them tied their horses to the mouth of the valley, and came into the valley together, the maple valley valley is as its name, the stone crevices on both sides of the cliff are full of strange and proud maple trees, although it is the middle of winter at this time, but the maple leaves are undefeated, the red is like a flame like a sea, and there is a continuous fire burning clouds.

Ziquan and Lan Che had never seen such a beautiful scene in their lives, so they couldn't help but stop and enjoy it, but the purpose of this trip was not here, so the two followed the paper clothes to the depths of the valley.

Entering the valley, it is overgrown with trees, and although maple trees still make up a considerable proportion here, it is not the only one.

Along the way, Ziquan and Lan Che finally understood what the comment about the abundance of medicinal herbs meant to Maple Leaf Valley.

This is a lowland valley, shrouded in clouds and mist, with a humid climate, mild seasons, and a convergence of spiritual energy, which is originally very suitable for the growth of herbs, so there will be a large number of medicinal farmers planting here.

However, what is more valuable is that there are springs and streams in the Maple Leaf Valley, criss-crossed and criss-crossed, and the soil quality is special, and the aura is contained.

You must know that this is the periphery, but because of the four years of demonic beasts raging, the inaccessible track has gradually allowed the spirit grass to gradually breed.

However, at the same time, the three of them also encountered the Monster.
