Chapter Eighty-Nine: Turning Enemies into Friends
The events in Dagger Valley came to an end for the Acostes and the others, who first encountered vampires, then traveled through the forests and dark regions, and finally shattered the conspiracy of the dark elves.
But for the Dagger Valley, their troubles were just beginning......
The vampires are about to summon their ancestors to invade again, and around the Sheriff's Tower, Acoste believes that all sorts of evil forces will be drawn here. The Dark Elves are just the beginning.
After crossing the river of Dagger Falls, the Moon Sea was just a stone's throw away, and they only needed to cross the Poachers Woods to reach the Moon Sea's realm.
"Brother, look, there's a fire over there." After a few days of fighting, everyone already felt their fatigue, as if their bodies had been hollowed out, and they didn't realize it when they fought, but as soon as they relaxed like this, several people now wanted to fall asleep on the soft grass and stuffy their heads.
"Well, there must be travelers camping over there, let's go check it out, and if the location is big enough, let'll borrow it for a night and rest." The proposal of the half-elf swordmaster was unanimously and strongly supported by everyone, and everyone mustered up the last bit of their energy and ran in the direction of the campfire.
Then they were dumbfounded, and at the same time they were stunned by the owner who was camping here.
"It's you?!" "You're not dead?!"
Two exclamations in unison, Acoste and the female ranger who called herself Salina stared wide-eyed, and of course, the saber-toothed tiger that should have been turned into white bones.
"Rub—" Acoste pulled out a lightning-fast frost grief and landed it on the female ranger's neck, and Sarina reacted as well, but her movements were a beat slower than that of the Half-Elf Juggernaut. The hand had just been placed on top of the handle of the short knife.
"Big... Big... Brother, there is... That's easy to say. Salina raised her hands helplessly. Although Frost Sorrow hadn't touched her, the cold temperature had made her face turn blue. It's hard to say anything.
"What else do we have to say, you have ambushed and deceived us and attacked us, do you think we can still shake hands and make peace?" Acoste was almost amused by the female ranger's words. "Don't you say that you have dozens of years old elders and children in your family who need you to raise this time?"
"Uh—" Salina was embarrassed, he really wanted to say that. You guys...... You shouldn't hold a grudge against me, I'm ...... Bounty hunters, so attack you...... It's normal. Besides, didn't I succeed too? You guys... You still beat my Tyson half to death, and you suffered...... I should be the one who suffers. “
"......" It would be the turn of the half-elf to be speechless for a while, it was the first time he had seen someone talk about robbery so eloquently, but Acoste thought about it too. Everyone is mixed up outside, in fact, it doesn't matter who calculates whom, everything speaks with their own strength. If you're smart enough and strong enough, then they can't do anything about you.
Yacoste appreciates the words of a great man in his previous life, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
Of course, the first sentence was changed by the half-elf to say that there are no eternal allies, but there must be friends in the world. That kind of pure friendship exists.
"Yes, you have a little bit of truth in that." Acoste took Frost Sorrow back and sat down against the campfire. "I'm sure you've also seen the strength of a few of us, don't act rashly. We're just staying here for a while. “
The other team members saw that their captain had made a statement, and they also let go of their hostility, only Ling seemed to have a strange look in her eyes when she looked at Sarina. But it can't be helped, who made that Ling the most hurt person that time.
"I heard you last time. You're adventurers from West Hartland area, really? How did you come all the way to Dagger Valley? "Sarina couldn't sleep herself. The female ranger suddenly put her face next to Acoster and asked with a curious baby look, not at all embarrassed by what had just happened.
"We're going to the borders of Damara to deal with an ancient evil that has awakened." Acoste replied without turning his head, and he threw a peeled potato in his hand with oil and salt and spice powder into the fire, and suddenly the smell of food overflowed his nose.
"Oh, yes, is there any earth-shattering treasure for that ancient evil thing? Can you tell me? Sarina couldn't help but drool when she looked at the potatoes in the fire, they were really rich, and the seasoning they used was actually fine salt and watercress powder, which could be exchanged for the same gold.
"No, there's only a wild barren land over there, hairy and blood-drinking barbarians and endless sea breezes, what, do you want to go with us?" The half-elf swordmaster replied with a smile, and he used a branch to pound the potatoes in the fire back and forth, and that skillful technique made the female ranger yearn for it.
"You're lying, there's definitely treasure there, but you won't tell me." Salina pouted, sat on the ground like a little girl and stepped on the lawn hard, Acoste was speechless for a while, please are we very familiar? Is it okay to be a mortal enemy for the first ten minutes......
"By the way, I can go with you, but we have to sign a contract, I'm a bounty hunter, you can hire me." Salina suddenly thought of something, grabbed Acoste's sleeve and said with interest.
"Contract, what contract?" When Acoster heard the female ranger say this, he suddenly asked with interest.
"Well, I want 5% of the right to get what I get from the adventure, and you can't deliberately bully me and Tyson because of the previous things, especially the scantily clad woman, we used to, the one used to be called not to fight and not to know each other, and you were too simple at that time, I called you a lesson, and you know the dangers of wild life!" "Well, that's all for now, and as a dutiful bounty hunter, I'll help you fight, carry out the duties of duty, exploration, and scouting. As for the honorarium, just give me 100 gold coins a day. “
"You're only a mid-level professional, and you actually ask for 100 gold coins a day, how are you embarrassed to speak." The half-elf sword master squinted at the other party, after robbing the blue dragon, Acoste had a little money on him, but it was not enough to hire Shalina for a month.
"But Tyson is worth the money." The female ranger pointed to her pet, and the wind elemental saber-toothed tiger also bared its two sharp fangs at Acoste. "And I'm a ranger who can have two animal companions, isn't that worth it?" Salina sat on the floor and began to bargain with Acoste, and the Ranger had a valid reason.
"Do you think we're all idiots?" Acoste was unmoved, pointing to a badge on Salina's chest, and then to Ling's chest. "Pet Emblems, magic items that allow the user to obtain an animal companion."
This time it was Salina's turn to be dumbfounded, and she couldn't help but have a fever no matter how thick-skinned she was, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Let her join." Just as Sharina was about to put the matter to rest, a man suddenly spoke, and the female ranger looked up to see that this person happened to be the one she thought was the most unlikely.
"She taught me a lot that time, and I still have to learn more from her, so let's hire her." (To be continued.) )
