Liszt made it to the agreed place on time, the northernmost part of Kartim, where his employer had arrived, but another mercenary group was nowhere to be found. The person in charge of the engineering team saw Liszt's eye-catching shape from a distance, hurriedly won over, and asked carefully: "You are the famous 'Shadow' Your Excellency, right?" Hello, I'm the head of the engineering team, you can call me Malef, I'm sorry, the people from the other mercenary group I hired haven't arrived yet, please wait a minute. ”

Liszt frowned, he didn't want to live in the wilderness of Alcanas, if he left too late, Kaltim would be locked down, and if he wanted to go home, he would have to wait for tomorrow.

"I'll only wait for ten minutes, if they don't come, I'll give up the mission, and you pay the liquidated damages." Liszt said in a hoarse voice.

"Definitely, definitely! Please be calm, we have sent someone to urge you. Malef agreed, but Liszt's style really put too much pressure on him.

As he was talking, a group of people came not far away. At the head was a young woman, who appeared to be the head of a mercenary group, followed by a group of mercenaries in armor armed with swords and shields, walking neatly, looking more like a group of soldiers, rather than the lazy and undisciplined mercenaries that Liszt had in his impression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Malef, and Mr. Shadow, we were late for some trivial matters, and we hope you will forgive me." As soon as the female head of the group came, she sincerely apologized, which made Liszt, who was originally a little dissatisfied in his heart, impressed. So he nodded and forgave him. Malef didn't say much, and directly ordered to set off.

Although the journey from Kartim to Alcarnas is not long, as long as you take this route, you must ask for an escort. Because there are a lot of beasts and monsters here, and they are very aggressive, they like to attack humans. The group exited the city from the north and faced the Gravel Valley, a narrow valley flanked by high cliffs, and was the first challenge of the time. Mercenaries must keep an eye out for the cliffs above, where the most popular jumpers and fierce and insidious Lakuni leopard hunters are to sneak up from above, and if left unprepared, the consequences can be devastating.

Liszt knew every corner of this place well, and in the past three years, he has taken this road the most, because there are the most battles here, so Liszt seems to be calm. But the other mercenary group behaved as if they were facing the enemy, obviously, they were not familiar with the terrain here, and the terrain here was too dangerous, which made them a little nervous.

Liszt used the power of his mind to strengthen his senses, receiving all the information around him into his brain, and under his carpet search, sure enough, he found several leopard people lurking fifty meters in front of him, staring at his group of people. Liszt was about to remind the people of another mercenary group to pay attention to vigilance, but he didn't expect the female leader to make a gesture as if he had a feeling, and the soldiers behind her actually began to chant spells at the same time, and it didn't take long for an overwhelming ice spire, hell flames and charged catapults to shoot at the leopard man who was hiding not far away.

When Liszt saw this scene, he was also stunned. He never imagined that a group of mercenaries dressed as soldiers would all be mages! Liszt couldn't figure out the connection between the three. What a strange bunch of people.

According to Liszt's experience over the years, the few leopard people killed should be just scouts, and there must be more leopard people waiting not far away, but it's a pity that they didn't see this scene, otherwise they wouldn't have the courage to attack this group of mages again.

Sure enough, before the other mercenary group could breathe a sigh of relief, a large number of leopard warriors appeared on the cliffs in front and behind, shouting and fiercely attacking the team in the valley.

The female leader, at this time, was a little panicked, the terrain was at a disadvantage, and they were suddenly attacked, although they were equipped with armor and swords and shields, but as long as they were close to this group of fierce beasts, they could only be fierce and lucky. The female leader hurriedly ordered the mages to defend in groups, and the dazzling spells continued to eliminate the leopard warriors, but they still couldn't intercept all the beasts, and seeing that the leopards were about to break through the spell blockade, Liszt finally made a move.

The people of the mercenary group saw a black shadow flash in front of them, and saw that the mysterious man in black appeared in the south with the most leopard people, only to see him draw four arrows in a row, shoot them all in the blink of an eye, and then without looking, he moved to the north in an instant, and fired four arrows in a row in less than a second. Liszt shot eight arrows in two places twenty meters apart, but not even three seconds passed, which made the mercenaries have no time to be shocked, and an even more shocking scene appeared - I saw that the eight arrows shot out flew halfway, and suddenly turned into a rain of arrows in the sky like doppelgangers, each of which either burned with angry flames or condensed indifferent cold light, whistling and devouring all the leopard people in an instant.

No one expected that what should have been a hard battle would end in less than four seconds, and what was even more incredible was that it was all done by one person.

Asila, the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, who had always maintained her grace, now opened her mouth wide in gaffe. The iron wolves, who boast of being one of the best in the mercenary world, were crushed by one person, and no one would believe it.

"Could he be a demon?" Someone asked in a whisper.

"I think he's an angel, he's so handsome!" Another called out in a low voice.

It took a long time for Asila to come back to her senses and look at Liszt like a baby, making Liszt feel uncomfortable.

As if she had made up her mind, Asila walked over to Liszt and introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Shadow, I am the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Asila, and I am honored to see your extraordinary strength!" ”

Liszt glanced at her, but nodded, not saying a word.

Asila was not frightened away by Liszt's coldness, but said more enthusiastically: "Mr. Shadow, our Iron Wolf Mercenary Group is a well-known and powerful magical mercenary group, we very much hope that a strong person like you will join, Mr. Shadow, how about it, join us, the treatment is absolutely superior!" ”

"Boring, I'm not interested in magic, I don't like a group of people who use magic as my companions." Liszt casually made an excuse and said coldly.

When Asila heard this, she was also angry, the characteristic of their mercenary group is that they are all magicians, and what they hate the most is the magic that others insult them.

"Hmph, what, it's the same bastard as that Nataya!" Asila turned around and muttered.

Liszt's facial features were sensitive, and he clearly heard Ashila's words, he suddenly appeared in front of Asila, anxiously grabbed Ashila's shoulder, and asked, "Do you know Nataya?" ”

When the iron wolves saw the regiment commander being treated like this, they thought that they were being bullied, and they all looked bad and approached Liszt. Although Liszt was very powerful, they were not vegetarians either, and it was impossible for them to let their beloved regimental leader be bullied.

Asila was also startled, looked at the anxious Liszt at a loss, and warned: "What are you going to do?!" If you don't let me go, we're going to attack you!" ”

Liszt realized that there was something wrong with his behavior, and quickly let go of his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, Ms. Asila, I didn't mean to, it's just that you seem to know Ms. Nataya, I'm looking for her, if you know, please tell me where she is, thank you very much!" ”

Asila didn't expect Liszt, who had always been so cold, to suddenly become so polite and uncomfortable, but she still made her subordinates feel a little calm, and said: "Of course I know her, she is a famous assassin. We had met her some time ago in the port of Curlast, and we had invited her to join us, but she had been refused, and then she seemed to have boarded a ship to Canduras, where she was said to be going to Camp Roger near Tristm to find her former sister. I don't know anything else. Asila was very detailed, it was the first time that Liszt had received a clue about the mysterious Nataya, and it made him excited.

"Thank you very much for your important information, and to be honest, she is a very important person to me." Liszt bowed gratefully.

Ai Shila nodded abruptly, and said regretfully: "Young man, it is not worth wasting your youth on her, she will not be a good wife." Asila had clearly misunderstood something, but Liszt hadn't heard it clearly, and he was still basking in the joy of getting the clue.

"Hey, another young man who was deceived by Nataya. Really, don't you all know that she already has a heart? ”
