Chapter 959: An "Old Friend" Who Fell from the Sky
"Report to Captain Ryder, a disposable forbidden space circle that has been abandoned has been found in front!"
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Ryder immediately gave an order with a nervous face: "Be careful!" Unleash the Recon Magic! Be sure to use multiple probes and never miss any clues! ”
It's no wonder that Ryder is so nervous, he is really guilty!
You must know that after meeting Sui Yu and his party before, not only did he put most of the valuable materials of the flying dragon in his space package, but at the same time, there were also many high-level demonic beast cores and a lot of extremely valuable materials in the space package under his hand!
To be honest, if it weren't for Sui Yu's obvious reluctance to stay in the forest for a long time, so that the speed of the journey was very fast, so that the group of them had walked for five days in a roundabout way before, and it took Sui Yu and his party to walk in a straight line at the same time, and it took them more than half a day to complete, I'm afraid they could collect some more other materials.
However, compared to that little profit, after seeing the strength of Sui Yu and his party, Ryder said that he would not dare to covet those interests that did not belong to him in the first place.
Of course, even if a lot of benefits are given up, the remaining benefits are still a bit too large for Ryder's medium-sized mercenary group.
So much so that after separating from Sui Yu, Ryder didn't get a good night's sleep in the past two days, and even dreamed of all kinds of ambushes, or all kinds of bad dreams of being betrayed by his subordinates!
That's why Ryder was so nervous after discovering an abandoned one-time forbidden space circle on the road ahead, lest this be a trap set by thieves!
However, using a one-time forbidden space array with a lot of money to set up traps doesn't seem like something that ordinary thieves can do.
Sure enough, after a period of suspicious probing, a mercenary with very strong detection ability came to Ryder with a blue feather.
"Report to Captain Ryder, I found a feather from a wind bird. In addition, I have heard that there seems to be a wind bird in this vicinity before, and it is estimated that the one-time forbidden air magic circle should be used to catch the wind bird! ”
"Wind Bird!" Ryder naturally knew that when the Wind Bird's magic core was first taken out, it could be made by fusing other materials to make a potion that could increase the affinity of the wind system, and this kind of potion whose main material was the Wind Bird magic core was generally used to cultivate wind magicians who were not very talented, and it was used to improve their wind affinity, greatly accelerating the efficiency of their promotion.
Of course, it is basically impossible for ordinary civilians to use this kind of secret medicine to forcibly change their talents, and generally this secret medicine is only used by nobles to cultivate the next generation.
However, in order to catch the Wind Bird, a one-time forbidden air circle was used, I'm afraid this should be the handiwork of a certain nobleman, right?
You must know that the Wind Bird comes and goes like the wind, and in order to refine the medicine, it is necessary to capture the living Wind Bird, and only when you are making medicine can you kill and take out the magic core, and this will undoubtedly increase the difficulty coefficient to a level that makes nine out of nine adventurers and mercenary groups desperate for the already super high difficulty of catching the Wind Bird.
In addition, even if the living Wind Bird has a very high value, but the nobles who want to improve the affinity of the wind system are not always available, and even if the Wind Bird is occasionally captured, the market is also a problem, so there is generally no risk-taker or mercenary group to make thankless efforts to capture the Wind Bird, let alone use this valuable one-time forbidden air circle.
Therefore, Ryder finally came to the conclusion that this one-time forbidden space magic circle that was abandoned and was about to completely collapse due to energy exhaustion should be the hand of a great nobleman who loved his juniors very much.
And since it was the big nobles who made the move, Ryder, who had been in a state of suspicion for the past two days, naturally didn't have to worry about someone trying to ambush them.
"Alarm lifted! Let's move on! After thinking about it, Ryder breathed a sigh of relief and gave an order to the team: "However, you still have to be vigilant, especially when entering the scope of the forbidden air array, you must be in good spirits!" Don't take it lightly! ”
Of course, although the order was given in this way, Ryder, who had already thought it through, also understood that there should be no ambush in this place, and the reason why everyone was asked to cheer up was just to be cautious.
"Commander, you shouldn't worry too much, right? This neighborhood has been scouted three times by the brothers with detection magic, and there will definitely be no people or monsters in ambush! So unless the enemy falls from the sky! Otherwise, we don't have to worry about being ......."
Before the mercenary, who seemed to have a good relationship with Ryder, finished speaking, everyone saw a black shadow flash in front of them, and then a huge cyan giant wolf fell in front of the team with its back down and four paws facing the sky!
"! Is it true that his M has fallen into the sky?! The mercenary who had persuaded Ryder not to be too nervous was completely dumbfounded by the scene of the giant wolf falling from the sky.
However, after Ryder saw the body of this giant wolf that fell from the sky, his whole face instantly turned extremely pale!
"Ground... Earth...... Hell Wolf?! ”
Anyway, he is also the leader of a mercenary group, and Ryder is definitely familiar with all kinds of monsters, although he has not really seen the Hell Demon Wolf (otherwise Ryder would not be standing here), but with that domineering appearance, as well as the breath that involuntarily erupted when falling, combined with the graphic description on the monster illustrated book, it is enough for Ryder to easily judge the true identity of the other party!
And just when Ryder was about to panic and arrange for everyone to retreat quickly, and leave some slave mercenaries who had already signed a contract to break off, several figures fell from the sky!
Bang!
Catwoman, who looked very familiar, stepped on the belly of the Hell Demon Wolf with one foot, and instantly arched the body of the mighty and domineering Hell Demon Wolf to the sky, and at the same time, her two eyes were also wide open and almost bulging out of her sockets, and it seemed that she was not lightly stepped on by this foot......
"Hey......"
Then, with a soft shout, Catwoman, who trampled on the hell demon wolf in an extremely embarrassed way, rolled over and jumped to the ground lightly.
And just when Ryder recognized the familiar Catwoman and wanted to come forward to say hello, another black shadow followed behind Catwoman and landed on the belly of the Hell Demon Wolf, making the Hell Demon Wolf can't help but let out a scream of "whoop".
And Ryder, the person who turned over and landed this time, is also familiar with Sui Yu, who walked out of the forest with Ryder before!
Then Serina, Sui Yu, Lorika, and Mengyu all jumped on the belly of the Hell Demon Wolf in order, causing the ground behind the Hell Demon Wolf to be paved with simple stone slabs to produce a wide range of cobweb-like cracks, and at the same time, the huge Hell Demon Wolf was also stepped on by everyone and began to roll his eyes and foam at the mouth......
Fortunately, unlike Meng Yu and a few others who were obviously able to fly in the forbidden space circle but still played high-altitude bungee jumping fun, Hakya was quite kind to use space magic to teleport to the ground.
"Yo, Ryder, what a coincidence! Let's meet again! ”
Just when Ryder was stunned to see that the dangerous Hell Demon Wolf had become the footpad of Sui Yu and his party so miserably, Sui Yu, who noticed Ryder's existence, greeted Ryder with a smile: "I didn't expect that we could see you every time we were pulled down from the sky by the Forbidden Sky Circle, anyway, you are hunting flying dragons again?" ”
"Nope! No! No! Not me! ”
As soon as he heard Sui Yu's words, Ryder's cold sweat came down as soon as he brushed it!
It's okay that those who didn't know before were fearless, but now Ryder already roughly knows how terrifying the combat power of Sui Yu and his party is, if Sui Yu misunderstands that they are plotting against them with a one-time forbidden air array, Ryder has a few lives that are not enough to die!
"That's it! It turned out to be a coincidence! After listening to Ryder's speculation about the Wind Bird and the Great Nobles, Sui Yu nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care how this forbidden sky magic circle came about.
Anyway, for the powerful Sui Yu and his party, suddenly encountering the forbidden air magic array is just equivalent to playing a high-altitude bungee jump, not a big deal.
What's more, at the first time of the fall, Nana kicked the hell demon wolf down with a very decisive kick as a buffer, so this high-altitude bungee jump was much more comfortable than the last time (Xiao Hei said with tears streaming down his face: Woo woo! Who am I looking for to mess with me? )!
And just after Xiao Hei shook his head and got up, Sui Yu thought for a while and said to Ryder: "Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we go together?" ”
Hearing Sui Yu's invitation, Ryder's heart sank.
If he didn't know how strong Sui Yu was, if he didn't carry valuable materials on him, Ryder might gladly agree. But now, not to mention that Ryder is very eager to sell the monster materials that Sui Yu and his party get cheaply, let's just say that the terrifying strength of Sui Yu and his party alone makes Ryder feel worried.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger!
Staying by the side of such a strong person, if you are killed by someone raising your hand without explaining a word, there is absolutely no reason to go!
This is also the main reason why Ryder hurriedly ran away with his team as soon as he separated from Sui Yu before.
But now it's good, Sui Yu actually directly proposed to follow him to act, and judging from the appearance of no village in front of the village and no store in this vicinity, once he agrees, I am afraid that he will have to walk together for several days this time, and the risk is ......
Just thinking about it, Ryder was sure he wouldn't have to sleep these nights!
"This ......" Ryder didn't dare to refuse directly, so he had to say to Sui Yu: "We're going to Reinhardt, the imperial capital of the Demon Guide Country, I'm afraid we won't be on the way with you, right?" ”
Yes, Ryder's original purpose was to be the capital of the Magic Guide Country, because high-level materials like the Flying Dragon can only find big merchants with strong financial resources in the capital, and only in the capital, will not be taken advantage of by those profiteers to earn a huge price difference - he has worked hard to hunt the Flying Dragon after playing with his life, and Ryder doesn't want to be cheap to those middlemen!
However, although Ryder deliberately said that he was going to the capital with the least adventurer tasks because he guessed that Sui Yu and his party should complete the tasks everywhere after becoming adventurers, he didn't expect that Sui Yu immediately happily took out a map when he heard Ryder's words, and pointed to Reinhardt, a large circle was drawn on it, and said loudly to Ryder: "What a coincidence! We're going to the capital of the Wizard Country too! Hahaha! ”
"Huh? You're going to the capital too? Ryder didn't know what expression to use to respond at this time, so he had no choice but to point to the dotted line on the map that seemed to be marked on the map by Sui Yu, "This line should be the route you have taken, right?" But since you're going to the capital, why do you have to go around in such a big circle? ”
Yes, the dotted line on the map first moved west after leaving the adventure town, and then suddenly turned back to the north, which clearly indicated that Sui Yu had spared a big circle before.
"Hey, there's no way around it!" Sui Yu took the map and confirmed the boundaries where he was and said to Ryder: "The lord who manages that adventure town seems to have spied on my wealth, and he actually sent an army to capture us. And we didn't want to be the enemy of this country, so in order to avoid fighting the soldiers of this country, we had to flee the adventure town! At the same time, in order to mislead the other party, we deliberately chose a wrong direction when we escaped. ”
"I see......"
The well-informed Ryder nodded slightly: "It seems that the lord is planning to find an excuse to detain you first, and if you resist, you will fall into the trap of the lord, because once the established facts are created, you will officially become the wanted criminals of this country!" ”
"However, your reaction is not slow, you actually left the adventure town before the army equipped with the forbidden sky magic guide surrounded without harming those soldiers at all, and deliberately misled the other party to divert the direction of the other party's pursuit, in this way, after the lord found out, you have already left the territory range! And as long as you leave that guy's territory, then you don't have to worry that the other party will continue to find fault! Unless he wants to start a war with other realms! ”
I have to admit that Ryder, a local, looks at the problem more thoroughly, and Sui Yu just follows his feelings, and Sui Yu is also confused about how the lord will deal with it.
Now as soon as he listened to Ryder's explanation, Sui Yu understood that after leaving that greedy lord's territory, he and the others were now completely safe.
As for whether killing a few noble doglegs disguised as adventurers before is considered a reason for being wanted?
Since the other party is disguised as an adventurer and is still looking for fault first, that lord naturally has to abide by the mainland's default privilege for the strong, and there is no way to apply for a wanted warrant.
Especially after Sui Yu left the other party's territory, the lord who was beyond the reach of the whip could now only give up continuing to find trouble with Sui Yu and bear a series of bitter consequences brought about by the army's opening alone.
After thinking about it, Sui Yu smiled slightly and immediately patted Ryder's shoulder and said to him loudly: "Originally, I was worried that the chasing soldiers would cause us trouble, and I even thought about rushing alone, but since the chasing soldiers no longer exist, then let's set off together!" ”
Because the map is inaccurate, Sui Yu is lacking a guide, and looking at Ryder's appearance, it seems that he has been to the capital of the Demon Guide Country, so Sui Yu naturally can't let go of this qualified guide!
"Okay......"
Although Ryder was reluctant in his heart, he could only smile at this time......
"Don't worry!" Seeing that Ryder agreed, Sui Yu patted Ryder on the shoulder: "See that big dog, right?" Hurry with me, and leave all the guarding work to that guy along the way! Anyway, in terms of taking care of the home, it is still the most suitable for the big dog! ”
"That...... I'm a hell wolf, a wolf! "The Hell Demon Wolf used his mental power to broadcast an effort to protest.
"The owner said you were a dog, do you have any opinions?" Nana stroked the dog's head affectionately, so the hell wolf was sweating profusely and quickly stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail and said, "No problem! No problem at all! ”
At the same time, the legendary hell demon wolf did not forget to stick out his tongue and bark a few times, and at the same time tried to wagging his big tail to show how "happy" he was at this time......
Of course, while expressing his happiness, the Hell Demon Wolf also whispered in tears in his heart: "The strong little brother in the story is obviously not like this, why am I so unlucky?!" ”
"I didn't expect you to have a chance to listen to the bard's story, puppy?"
Xiao Hei didn't expect it at all, obviously muttering in his heart, but he was easily noticed by Serena, so while Xiao Hei was afraid and sighed in his heart, "Spiritual magic is terrible", Sui Yu turned his head and sneered at Xiao Hei and said: "It's best not to confuse me with the stupid × protagonists in those stories who treat my little brother as an ancestor and solve all the accidents by themselves!" Since you have sworn to be my subordinate, then you must fulfill your obligation! Otherwise I wouldn't mind eating a meal of shredded dog meat! ”
"Yes!" Sitting up straight in an instant, the Hell Demon Dog was sweating profusely and hurriedly said: "I will definitely work hard to do the glorious and great work of my little brother in the future!" Don't worry! ”
"Good!" After a few words made Xiao Hei clear about his positioning, Sui Yu raised his hand and snapped his fingers and ordered: "Then, let's go!" ”
"Yes! Your will! ”
So, with the roar of the war concubines, Sui Yu and his party, who once again merged with Ryder's mercenary group, embarked on a journey, and their target was the capital of the Magic Country, the Magic City of Reinhardt!
