Chapter 052 [Savior]
Unlike those difficult adventure missions, normal mercenary missions are strange, and Keisha doesn't necessarily know what might happen in the mission, and most of the adventure missions are to go to some familiar jungle spots, and Keisha is somewhat familiar with some processes.
In the original game, mercenary missions may also have a very small chance of triggering some epic missions, of course, this is not what Keisha wants to encounter now, she just wants to hone Rorona, and there is not much time for them.
Since the Magic Association has always had a long-term cooperative relationship with the Mercenary Association, magicians can accept tasks as long as they show their magic medals, and they don't need to register mercenaries like ordinary people.
The village where the mission is located is Honggu Village, and the traffic is barely convenient, thinking that there are many days to rush in the future, Keisha suggested getting a carriage, as for the money, it must still be paid by the fat man, and as for the coachman, it must be done by the fat man.
After everything was arranged, the three of Kaisha began to head in the direction of Honggu Village.
With the convenience of the carriage, Honggu Village is not too far, and after more than a day's journey, it can be regarded as coming to the vicinity of the destination point.
Unexpectedly, the scenery here is not bad, because it is far away from the town, the scenery is pleasant, but the pastoral scenery is very charming, especially in this season of the harvest season, the special red millet brings people a kind of harvest celebration.
Presumably, Honggu Village got its name because of these rare red rice grains.
From the geographical point of view, although this place is located in the middle of nowhere, but the scenery is not bad, the biggest advantage of living in this place is that you do not have to pay taxes, and the fertile land can be cultivated here special grains, if there is no special situation, it is indeed quite cost-effective to set up a village in these places.
With the official entry into the area of Honggu Village, there were farmers in twos and threes entering the fields to work, but when they looked at the passing carriage, their eyes were a little cautious, and on the road, there were some villagers with crude weapons who were in charge of guarding, giving people a tense atmosphere.
At the intersection of the village, the strong men of the village stopped Keisha and their carriage.
"Who are you?"
A villager with a weapon stopped in front of him, and it could be seen that the middle-aged man in front of him was trying to make himself look strong, but unfortunately, his momentum could not even scare Gargamel, who was a coachman.
"I'm not afraid to scare you to death if I say it," Gargamel couldn't help but light up his mage medal, "We are magicians who took over the mission from the Mercenary Guild to help you defend against horse thieves." ”
"You're, magician?"
The villagers blocking the road were stunned.
In the eyes of normal people, magicians are mysterious and powerful existences, due to the scarcity of numbers, their status is generally much higher than that of warrior professions of the same level, and the status can be higher than the existence of two orders of warriors, and mages rarely accept the so-called entrusted tasks, after all, they feel that they have lost their identities, and mages basically receive adventure tasks issued by the union.
And in a mountain village like this, it is even more impossible to see a mage, and when he heard that a mage was coming, the power that he had originally maintained instantly turned into a dog-legged expression, and he was quickly released.
The fat man was very satisfied with the reaction of these fools, and drove the carriage into Honggu Village.
The buildings in the village are mostly some earthen houses, but fortunately, there is enough space, and even some small flowers and grasses can be planted, but I don't feel very scum, under the leadership of the villagers, when the carriage drove into a small square, there were already a bunch of people waiting there.
The leader is an old man with dreckled hair, and his eyes are quite energetic.
"Welcome guests from afar."
Perhaps because he realized that the people who came this time were very special, this pick-up ceremony was not gorgeous, but it was also grand, as if most of the people in the village were crowded in this square.
As the village chief of Honggu Village, his hair is about to fall out because of the horse thief.
Originally, Honggu Village was safe, living well in this kind of out-of-this-world place, self-sufficient, and occasionally selling some special Honggu for some money to spend, and going outside to buy some wine cloth or something, although it was not rich, but it was enough to live a small life.
But with the arrival of horse thieves a while ago, the village was shrouded in an atmosphere of unease.
Last time, the horse thieves appeared, kidnapped the villagers working in the fields, and even brutally killed a few resisting villagers, they asked for money to ransom their lives, and everyone scraped together, and finally ransomed those villagers back, but I didn't expect the horse thieves to be dissatisfied, and felt that the village still had enough potential to be squeezed, and even set a number, if they didn't make up enough money and food within the specified time, they would make the village disappear completely.
The villagers here are all guys who can only crop handles, where are the opponents of the horse thieves who lick blood from the knife all year round, if it weren't for the fact that the villagers in Honggu Village still have a certain use value, it would not be too easy for them to slaughter the village.
As the village chief of Honggu Village, the old man is really worried.
Sent people all the way to nearby towns to ask for help, but because Honggu Village was a remote area that did not pay taxes, the regular army did not protect them, so they went to the mercenary union to find someone to solve the problem. However, when I went to the Mercenary Guild to find someone, those seemingly mighty mercenaries heard that they were going to fight with the horse thieves, and they were even more cowardly like rattles, and they resolutely refused to come.
In the past few years, there have been several waves, and more than a dozen mercenaries have been gathered, and the leader of the group is very angry, saying that it is easy to solve the horse thieves, but that group of guys seems to be a group of hooligans, who officially do not do anything all day long, eat and drink, and even molest the girls and young women in the village in various ways. Thinking of keeping it to fight the horse thieves, everyone endured it. But unexpectedly, these guys encountered several scouts of the horse thief's surveillance, and the two horse thief scouts on horseback cut off the mercenary leader's head with a single sword, and the useless miscellaneous mercenaries immediately scattered and ran away without a trace.
Until now, no one dared to help them, what else could he, the village chief, do, he was also desperate.
And the few magicians who just claimed to have come made the village chief finally see a glimmer of hope.
They never thought that a mage would come and save them.
Magicians, raising your hands and feet is a spell that destroys the world, an existence that fights a hundred, with them, doesn't it mean that there is hope for the village?
That's what everyone thinks in their hearts
It's no wonder that the villagers are ignorant, the mage profession is too rare, and everyone's understanding of mages is based on those legendary stories.
The villagers welcomed the appearance of the mysterious man in the carriage, and they thought that the person in the carriage must be an old mage with a white beard, carrying a staff inlaid with huge gems.
At this time, Gargamel patted the carriage and whispered, "Sister Sha, don't sleep, we're here." ”
It took a while for the carriage to move.
Keisha lowered her head and walked out of the carriage, her lazy expression, as if she had just woken up, yawned, and was shining in the sun, and looked at the crowd, Keisha noticed the gaze of the hundred people, but she didn't expect the villagers to be so welcome, and waved her hand sneeringly.
"Yes, hello everyone."
