Chapter 53: Ai Xue's acquaintance

Karan Village is located southwest of Bryce Town, and is separated by the Forbidden Mountains, which are said to emit a strong curse at all times, so you have to enter the forest from the south and turn west to reach Kalan Village.

In order to properly settle the horses that the very kind receptionist girl had helped rent, Sui Yu decided to ride to Jim Village (although the road to Jim Village is not smooth, but horses can be allowed to pass through) and then walk to Karan Village.

Although the speed of the horses is not as good as that of Sui Yu and the others, the advantage of the horses is that they have strong endurance, and they also save everyone's physical strength.

The people set out from almost noon, and by the time the sun was about to set, they had come to the vicinity of the forest.

"It's getting late, and if we continue on our way, we'll have to spend the night in the woods. And there's a very nice campsite nearby, so I'd suggest you spend the night there. Ai Xue rode on the horse, skillfully unfolded the map, looked at the sky, and then made suggestions for camping.

Compared with Sui Yu, a mercenary who is new to the industry and doesn't know anything (most of Sui Yu's experience in the game can't be used in reality, because players don't need to eat, drink, and Lazar), Ai Xue, who has a year of mercenary experience, naturally paid attention to what everyone said, and even Lyle, who was in a hurry to rush back to the village, nodded slightly in agreement.

In any case, only by maintaining sufficient physical strength and sufficient rest can we cope with all kinds of unexpected accidents. If everyone can't get rest because they are in a hurry, then if they are attacked by powerful demonic beasts after entering the forest, it is very likely that they will pay the price of blood and even their lives!

"Is it finally time to rest? That's great! Sui Yu sent out a ** full of happiness.

Although there is also a mount system in "Chaos World", because Sui Yu has been hunted down, and because he participated in the war in the later period (Sui Yu coincidentally became a necromancer when he was at level 40), he traveled in a carriage or simply a teleportation array, so he never knew how to ride a horse.

Although there is also a riding skill in the skill list, this skill can only ensure that Sui Yu will not fall off the saddle at most, except for increasing the mount's physical strength and speed a little.

So one afternoon of Mercedes-Benz made Sui Yu feel the pain on the inside of his legs, and he was blistered!

Fortunately, Philomena, who heard that Sui Yu's condition might not be good, raised her hand and brushed Sui Yu with a healing technique, which finally made Sui Yu feel a lot more comfortable.

Soon, under Ai Xue's guidance, everyone came to the bank of a small river, because there were many pebbles nearby, which were not suitable for riding, so everyone turned over and dismounted and led the horses forward.

After Sui Yu got off the horse, he immediately stretched a lazy waist and then tidied up the skirt armor that was somewhat deformed because of riding, speaking of which, the armor made by Ruisi is not only excellent in defense, but also unique in detail, especially the design of the skirt armor that can be retracted and does not delay the riding horse at all, so that Sui Yu will not be undressed for the sake of riding a horse (if the armor is removed, Sui Yu is really worried that he will accidentally strangle the rented horse because of poor control of the strength).

As for several battle queens wearing magic robes, including Hakoya, they also tidied up the hem of their magic robes a little after dismounting.

Although it is called a robe, Sui Yu prefers to see it as a somewhat wide coat or a windbreaker. After the wide hem is combined, you can use the runes drawn on it to form a magic array that can increase the magic power to assist the war queens in casting spells, and when riding a horse, you can also separate the hem from the front and put it on the back of the horse without worrying about the wide hem affecting the flexibility of the legs, of course, under the magic robe, most of the war queens wear a short skirt or shorts that do not affect their activities, so as not to be spring because the hem of the magic robe is opened.

It's just that the snow-white long legs exposed after the hem is lifted make Sui Yu be warned by Philomena from time to time (basically glaring or secretly pinching the warning, and there are also actions of kicking Sui Yu with his feet when riding close to Sui Yu), Sui Yu is depressed, don't mention it, he dares to swear to the lamp, he didn't see anything along the way!

Leading the horse, everyone headed towards the camp under the leadership of Ai Xue, and seemed to feel a little bored, Philomena approached Sui Yu and chatted with him: "Speaking of which, Hakya seems to have been practicing martial arts recently, and I seemed to have seen Hakya hide the short knife in the hem of her robe just now. ”

"It's the black and white artifact set of the cadre Mo Ye! Hakya asked me for it, but she didn't expect her to hide the two short knives on the outside of her thighs. Looks like Hakoa is planning to use that pair of artifacts to sneak attack! Hahaha, it really fits my combat thinking, if you can sneak attack, you can sneak attack......"

Speaking of the back, Sui Yu couldn't say any more, because he felt that Philomena's eyes were very unkind to him at this time.

"Didn't you swear to the lamp that you didn't look at the legs of your sisters under their robes? So can you explain why it's clear about Hakoya's entanglement of Mo Xie in her thigh?! ”

After listening to Philomena's questioning word by word, the sweat on Sui Yu's head was almost dehydrated!

When Sui Yu was speechless, Philomena was secretly vigilant in her heart: "Really! Those guys obviously used the magic of deflecting light to protect themselves from going out, but they deliberately removed the magic effect on Yu's side, which was really too much! Looks like I'm going to warn some of those foolish guys when I have time! Well! You must be vigilant, but don't that stealing cat get Yu before me, then I will regret it for the rest of my life! ”

When she thought of this, Philomena couldn't help but think of a stupid cat with great strength but a bit of a dull head, lingering in her mind......

Fortunately, just when Sui Yu was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to Philomena that it was a pure accident that he accidentally aimed under Hakoya's skirt, the excellent thief Ji Fanny sent by Ling Shiyin suddenly reminded everyone in a volume that was just right for everyone to hear: "Be careful, there is someone in front!" The number four, judging by the footsteps, should be three men and one woman! And one of them is more heavily armed, so he should be a knight or a shield warrior or something like that! But don't worry too much, judging from the faint smoke and dust emitted from the sky, the other party should be a mercenary camped around here! It may be that we have chosen the same campsite as us! ”

Just by relying on the information captured by some visual sight with the aid of hearing, you can clearly determine the composition of the team that has not seen the figure, and it is no wonder that Ling Shiyin will specially propose to let Fanny join the team, I have to admit that in terms of thief professional skills, Fanny is much more reliable than a half-baked ninja!

As if sensing Sui Yu's gaze full of contempt, a certain pink hair immediately protested: "Hey! U-sama, it's rude for you to look at me like this! As a ninja, my best job is kidnapping and assassination, and reconnaissance is just a part-time job! If you don't believe me, I'll be able to complete the task as soon as you order me to kidnap or assassinate anyone! ”

Hearing Kanami's shocking speech, Ai Xue weakly raised her hand and asked, "Well, I want to make sure, our team should probably be a serious team rather than a thief group, right?" ”

"Seriously! Seriously, of course! Sui Yu hurriedly affirmed: "We are serious!" Don't get me wrong, we're all serious people! I definitely don't do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, so in theory, the skills Kanami learned may not be useful one day! ”

Kanami heard that she might never be able to use her abilities, so she kicked the stones under her feet with a frustrated face and muttered in a low voice full of resentment, "How is this happening! People obviously study hard! ”

Everyone ignored Kanami's resentment (she usually can't help much anyway, everyone is used to Kanami often complaining that she is useless), and then Sui Yu began to ask Ai Xue, the old mercenary, for his opinion: "What should I do if I encounter other mercenaries?" I've heard that in the wild, the most terrifying thing is not Warcraft but strange mercenaries, isn't that the case? ”

Ai Xue nodded and replied, "That's right, especially when there are women in the team, it will be more dangerous to encounter strange mercenaries. Because of the fact that mercenaries can die at any time, no one will be surprised even if a few people go missing, so some mercenary teams related to human traffickers often attack mercenary squads with female members and sell the women as slaves to those slave traders! ”

When Sui Yu heard this, there were nine beauties in his team! If you run into those mercenaries who can become slave hunters at any time, it will definitely cause ** annoyance!

"Prepare for battle!" Sui Yu had just given the order, and Ai Xue hurriedly shook her hands in a panic and said to Sui Yu, "Wait, don't be in a hurry." We just try not to meet each other! There's no need to be so nervous! ”

"Hehe, conditioned reflex! Knee-jerk reaction! Sui Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, if he was alone, he would naturally not be so nervous, but when it comes to the safety of the war concubines, the so-called concern is chaotic, and as a result, Sui Yu almost made a big fuss because he was too nervous.

"Shall we camp somewhere else?" As soon as Sui Yu said his plan, Fanny reminded everyone again: "They sent someone to check!" ”

It seems that the conversation here is too lively, and the mercenaries who are camping have noticed the anomaly and sent someone to investigate.

Sure enough, at the corner of the rocky cliff beside the riverbank, a child in leather armor quietly peeked out half of his head from the corner to investigate the movement.

However, when the kid saw that the dozen or so people here were watching him in unison because of Fanny's prompting, he was immediately shocked, let out a scream, and collapsed to the ground.

Subsequently, the other three companions who should be the little boy (after he was paralyzed on the ground, he could already see the little boy's dress clearly, and he could clearly judge that the other party was a man from the dress, Sui Yu was very envious of this) rushed over to protect the little boy in the middle, and there was tension for a while!

However, the imaginary conflict did not break out, because Ai Xue suddenly exclaimed: "Benedict, Rechel, Bard and Miranda? It's you?! ”

Seeing this situation, Sui Yu understood that he was an acquaintance of Ai Xue.

After some introduction, Sui Yu knew that the little boy who was almost scared by everyone's strong onlookers was a halfling-blooded half-blood, and his profession was a thief who was responsible for unlocking, cracking mechanisms, and finding paths.

A strong man wearing silver-white armor but no helmet, carrying a shield on his back and a chain hammer around his waist, his profession is a knight of the Cult of Light and a part-time priest of light, and his name is Rachel, who is said to be a hybrid between a barbarian and a human. Of course, since barbarians have the largest number of human hybrids, these hybrids usually like to call themselves barbarians or barbarians (a barbarian priest, no wonder they are so miserable that they need to work as mercenaries to earn extra money to support themselves).

According to Ai Xue, the archer ranger named Miranda has elven blood, that is, half-elf (as soon as he heard the word elf, Sui Yu was impressed by this mercenary team that Ai Xue knew, and it was enough to prove their strength to be able to wander around with a half-elf and not be wiped out by those greedy guys).

The last warrior who seemed to be the only human on the team and the captain was named Bud, and then he was gone......

This captain didn't seem to be anything special, so Sui Yu couldn't help but guess that he could only become the captain because his human identity could be more convenient to hand over work with the Mercenary Guild.

While introducing each other, the other party naturally also knew that Ai Xue had joined Sui Yu, a mercenary group composed of "pure" women (after Ai Xue's desperate explanation, the other party finally understood that Sui Yu was actually a man).

"Now that Ai Xue has joined you, you can't bully her! Otherwise, we will definitely retaliate! And it's a crazy revenge! "It turned out to be Miranda, a long-eared, half-elf-elf-looking girl who looked very gentle.

"Yes, since Ai Xue has become a member of us, then we will naturally treat her as if she were our own family!" Accustomed to treating the war queens as family, Sui Yu's words came as soon as he opened his mouth, and people knew that they were sincere and definitely not saying beautiful things when they heard it.

"Excellent! You're good! Uncle Bright Knight of the Barbarian gave a thumbs up and looked admiring, and Bud, as the captain of the team that arrived first, immediately invited everyone to camp together with the friendship of the landlord.

Naturally, Sui Yu couldn't do the work of setting up tents and fires, so he had to turn over his hand and take out a Mazha from the inventory and chat with Bud sitting on a stone (in fact, Bud wanted to help, but the head of a mercenary group pulled him to chat, as the leader of the mercenary team, Bud can't be rude, right?). )。

"You seem to be quite familiar with Ai Xue?"

Listening to Sui Yu's question, Bard replied with a warm smile: "Yes, Ai Xue is a very good child!" Also a very talented spellcaster! At the same time, he is a very good teammate! ”

"Teammates?!" Sui Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "You were teammates in the past?!" So why did Ai Xue leave the team? When she met Ai Xue half a day ago, she seemed to be looking for a team to join! ”

"Looking for a team? I thought she would go back to the royal capital. Bard sighed.

"Hey!" Sui Yu said to Bard with some excitement: "You just kept telling us to be nice to Ai Xue, and now you tell me that you kicked Ai Xue out of the team?" Tell me! Why is that?! ”

Sui Yu was a little excited, accustomed to recruiting war queens to gather around him, and used to treating war queens as his dearest relatives. Sui Yu has never taken the initiative to fire anyone! And whenever there is a Zhan Ji who triggers a departure event because of a decline in loyalty, Sui Yu will regret that he didn't take care of the other party, and at the same time, he is also working hard every day to brush up on the favorability of Zhan Ji so that the big family he formed can be maintained.

That's why he was so excited when he heard that Budd's team had expelled Ai Xue, he really couldn't understand why Bud and they kicked her out of the team, even though Ai Xue was such a good teammate!
