Chapter 63: A Narrow Encounter
(Two shifts today, around 12 a.m. on the second shift)
Kayilu was a little depressed, she didn't understand what the other party was talking about at all, so she could only ask suspiciously, "Does this have anything to do with the materials you want?" ”
"Hmm...... Let's put it this way, the stream water here can be used as a magic material, so I'm going to check if the water quality is up to the mark. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info and then decide if you want to collect it. "The teacher made up a truth in his righteous words.
"Oh, if you need it, how much is that?"
"Whatever, one ounce or one roa, anyway, hurry up and let me check it."
"One ounce ......?" Kayilu frowned in surprise.
Oh no, this woman is already starting to doubt.
Ang and Rova are the units of measurement in this world, which are equal to ten milliliters and one liter respectively, which is the difference between 2 bottles of eye drops and 2 bottles of mineral water.
Xia Di wanted to cover up for this casual old man, but he didn't have any ideas for the time being, so he had to put the soul-calming organ on his belt into the package first, and then look around to keep his eyes on guard.
The wind whistles in your ears and the river flows slowly.
Just as Kayilu put the stone into the stream, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
It was the sound of flats stepping on the pebbles on the bank of the stream.
Xia Di secretly screamed badly, he suddenly realized his negligence, the length of this creek is relatively short, coupled with the loud wind, it is easy to cause himself to ignore the surrounding movements.
The footsteps were so frequent, and I didn't notice it until the other person approached.
"Oh no, it's too late to hide!" Xia Di hurriedly took out the Martial Transformation Stone and conjured a two-handed sword. Then call Kayilu.
Kayilu reacted immediately, snatching the silver light stone out of the water and putting it back in her pocket. He pulled out the machine sword from his back and walked to Xia Di's side.
"Oh? Who are you? A familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Purple magic robes, Barlow, a man with gold-rimmed glasses, and his three companions looked at them in surprise.
……
By the stream, the two groups stared at each other blankly.
Xia Di was stunned for a moment, and immediately relieved himself.
"Oh, you're the one in the tavern, are you still alive?"
"Huh?" Barlow blinked in dismay, then smiled as if he had thought of something, "Yes, what a coincidence, we met again." Why are you here? ”
"We?" Xia Di glanced in Kayilu's direction slightly, to be honest, he now had a bad premonition, although he didn't understand what the source of that premonition was, but the mentor seemed to agree with him, in order not to let the other party notice his existence, Silverstone cut off his voice.
"We're doing well, but things seem to be miserable on your side." Kairu squinted and pointed her sword at the ground.
"What? Want to get into a fight? ”
Kayiru noticed that the eyes on the other side were not good, and said deliberately defiantly.
The companion behind Barlow was holding a weapon in his hand, and seemed to be a little nervous, Barlow glanced at the ugly companion behind him reprimandingly, and said, "I'm sorry, this is the enemy's territory after all, and it is difficult for them to trust people who are not companions." Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that we're here to complete the mission of investigating the siege beasts. ”
"Yes."
Xia Di stared at the eyed man in front of him, and looked at them with confirmation, they were covered with a lot of dust and blood, and it seemed that they had gone through a battle. However, there were almost no wounds on their bodies, that is, the blood stains should have belonged to someone else. Object...... Is it a rebel patrol?
"Indeed, as you said, our current situation is miserable, not only lost, but also separated from our companions." Barlow noticed Xia Di's gaze and smiled, but his smile seemed to be a little weak, and he pushed his glasses, "Excuse me, have you seen Lennor and them?" ”
"Lenno?"
"Don't you know Lenno? He is the leader of the Mountain Boar Mercenary Group, a man who is nearly two meters tall, you should have seen it yesterday, right? Barlow gestured as he spoke, "The men of their boar mercenary group have a pattern of wild boar tusks depicted on their collars, and in addition to the dead companions, they also carry the six surviving people. When we fled from the rebels together, we accidentally got separated. ”
Xia Di recalled the corpse he saw just now, there should not be a person of that size, as for the clothes, they were all burned to charcoal, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Speaking of which, when the man in front of him proposes to look for the characteristics of his companion, he is not so much looking for someone as he is looking for something?
"I don't have much of an impression of stupid men's faces in general." Kayilu crossed her arms and didn't seem to suspect the other party, "If you are dead, you have seen a lot of them just now, you can go over there and have a look, provided that you are good friends with those patrolmen." ”
Kayilu pointed behind her with her thumb and said casually.
I have to admit it.
This way of speaking is quite unpleasant.
Even Xia Di was surprised why Kayilu spoke in such a tone, although she usually spoke quite poorly, but now the level was doubled.
"Can't this woman keep a little virtue......
Xia Di thought as he clenched his weapon.
Generally, when it comes to this, plus it is still bad for a companion, it will definitely be angry.
Even though it was the woman's responsibility, he couldn't just watch her be attacked.
However, the man with gold-rimmed glasses in front of him only frowned in confusion, and instead looked at the girl with subtle eyes: "This...... We just want to know where our companions are, and if they are in misfortune, we can only give up. ”
"You call it a companion too?" Kayilu sneered with her nose.
"Miss Chairu...... You're a little ill-intentioned. We're mercenaries, and sometimes we have to take some risks on our own. Barlow shrugged. The so-called companionship cannot be counted after death. ”
As Barlow said this, a cold light flashed in the corners of his eyes.
"Then you just go ahead and take the risk." Cairu turned to leave.
"Wait, wait." Barlow stopped her, "Well, what are you going to do next?" We feel that this commission to investigate Warcraft will be difficult to complete with just a few of us, if you are not in a hurry, do you want to form a group with us? Whatever the outcome, we'll pay you a certain amount of money, and we'll take care of each other in the enemy camp. ”
"People who will abandon their companions at any time, are you too embarrassed to find someone to form a team?" Kayiru feigned surprise.
"This ......," Barlow said with a bitter expression, "you were just going to induce me to say this?" Mr. Xia, I don't know what you think? ”
As if he felt that he couldn't say anything, Barlow threw the words at Xia Di.
