297 It is better to be sad than to be sad
"Mounts?"
Wutong paused, and said suspiciously: "In Fairhaven City, there are no players who own mounts?" ”
"Of course there are players who own mounts! Players who work as various knights can get a mount in the organization of the knight order they belong to, but it is not of a very good grade, and the wild knights who don't want to join the knight order, of course, there is no mount, and they have to spend their own money to buy it or catch it themselves. ”
July Liuhuo wiped his sweat and muttered: "But the problem is that I spent money to buy it, and I have to learn [riding] skills to ride, otherwise I can't get along with my own eggs, if I catch it myself, I not only have to learn [riding], but also learn [domestication], and after learning [domestication], I have to buy tools to catch mounts, and at this stage, that wild knight can afford it?" Not to mention a hard worker like us. ”
As he spoke, he pointed at the silent AIS: "Old A originally planned to become a paladin, but when I inquired, raising a knight is more expensive than raising ten warriors, and in order to make money, he first took up the position of a mage who he 'thought' could make money, and as a result"
Wutong sweated a little, and was about to comfort and comfort poor AIS, but suddenly found that AIS's eyes seemed to be in an empty and unfocused state since just now, and he reached out strangely and shook it in front of him, and actually had a reaction!?
"Uh, by the way, old A, just now you ate a bite of the paste made by Xiaoxiao, does it taste swollen? Smells like it's good? July Flowing Fire asked curiously.
I saw AIS's European-style man's handsome face twitch a little, his deep facial features seemed more and more deep at this time, his cheeks twitched, as if he was brought up by the July Flowing Fire Something sad, his eyes showed a trace of grievance, and he quietly glanced at the little Lori not far away, and after his lips squirmed, he gently spit out two weak words: "Eat it, you will die." ”
Sycamore is sweating next to it!
Little Lori has also been very sullen, and when she was mentioned by July, she suddenly said "Wow~", and cried with two pink little fists: "The stove of laughter!" Woo woo ~ laughing stove wood has fun ~! The pot is also woody! Wow wow! ”
As soon as this was mentioned, Wutong felt a pain in his flesh, that set of family wine props, it was only 500 gold coins to buy it, so they lost it, they can be regarded as a heavy loss this time.
"Alright, alright! Smile and don't cry! Brother can't buy it for you again! Turning around, my brother went to snatch the stove and pot back from those bad guys! Good no good? ”
Wutong hurriedly coaxed little Lori, smiled and sobbed: "Really? ”
"Really!"
Little Lori snorted and waved her little fist angrily: "Xiaoxiao wants to beat those big guys to the bad silver!" ”
"Flying"
Everyone thought of the wanderer who had been beaten away before, and there was a collective chill, and they were blown away by a large lollipop with a smile, but it was definitely not a wonderful thing.
The physically and mentally exhausted people returned to Fairhaven City with heavy steps, first went to the Adventure Guild to hand over a large number of fragmentary hunting tasks, and then sent people to gather the warriors who were still in a weak period after being resurrected in the major temples.
Originally, they still had a group of kobold captives, and if they could bring them back, they could also send them to the slave market to sell to the slave traders for some pocket money, but unfortunately when they escaped, the unlucky kobold captives still couldn't escape to death, and were swept away by the barbarians with a thick trunk, and half of them died, and the remaining half was also trampled by them, and all of them exploded like fish bubbles
For the barbarians with an average height of two meters, two or three meters, it is not too difficult to step on the kobold who is less than one meter tall as a fish, and it is not the kobold slaves that Wutong feels sorry for, but the shackles of a pair of 15 gold coins.
After the victims who were shaking their feet came to converge, Wutong saw that there were only players in apprentice uniforms left on this gang, and the roots of his teeth itched, to say that the most heavy loss, I am afraid that he was the employer, and the more than 20 people who hung up, although some equipment was exploded, but some of the valuable equipment that was enchanted by the players and applied "soul energy binding" still followed them back to be reborn.
However, the heavy wooden shields, short bows and battle axes distributed to this gang of meat shield cannon fodder were all lost, more than 20 sets, how much did it cost!?
Now, it's not just the hatred of little Lori, but also the revenge of Wutong's wealth, Wutong feels that he is not in harmony with those barbarian robbers, and sooner or later he will go to them for revenge.
As soon as he walked out of the Adventurer's Guild, Wutong suddenly found that they were surrounded by people!
"Your Excellency the Mage, Lord Lange, the leader of our Wild Jackals, would like to invite you to our base for dinner, and I hope you will enjoy it." An NPC wanderer in a full suit of black light leather armor bent slightly towards Wutong with a smile.
Wutong was stunned, the NPC's wanderer looking for himself? What do you mean?
"Boss, don't go! They are the violent NPC gang in this neighborhood," a warrior familiar with the surroundings of Mercenary Street and the Adventure Guild, and lowered his voice to alert Sycamore.
Violent gangs of NPCs? In other words, are these guys the black club in NPCs?
Wutong sweated for a moment, looked at the other party puzzled, and found that this guy was not a pure [loiterer], but a branch of the [loiterer] profession: [thief]!
[Rogue], [Assassin], [Killer], [Scout], etc., these are all sub-branches under the [Wanderer] class, but they are collectively referred to as [Wanderer] and belong to different types of [Wanderer].
It's a bit difficult to explain the career system clearly, and if Wutong hadn't seen an introduction to the distinction of occupations in a book, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to distinguish the identity of the thief in front of him through the details.
However, he was limited to seeing that the other party was a thief, and he couldn't tell that the other party was that kind of thief, according to speculation, if you want to come to this kind of small gang with a regional surname, there won't be any too high-level branches, this guy is a [thief]!
Faced with a thief who knows how to [steal] and can turn your things into his things unknowingly, Wutong vigilantly raised his perception to prevent something on his body from disappearing accidentally, and looked at him with a frown: "I don't know you, and I have no interest in having dinner with your leader, stay away from me!" ”
"No, no, no, Your Excellency, you don't seem to understand what I mean!"
The thief laughed obscenely, "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing you of the wishes of our leader, Lord Lange. ”
Saying that, in the crowd around them, a group of guys with big shoulders and round waists stood out, including players, and aborigines, players They also know the leader of the wanderers and his subordinates who were beaten away by laughter before, it seems that he has not given up yet, originally just to take revenge, and now, it is estimated that it is for the things in the sycamore backpack, which is a side effect of "showing off wealth".
At present, players do not have the ability to create their own officially recognized organization, but it does not prevent them from joining the aborigines, that is, the organizations established by the NPCs, but this does not prevent them from joining the organization of the aborigines to obtain an identity and shelter.
However, with the current level of the players, there are not many powerful Indigenous organizations that will recruit them, and they will at most join some small groups of no more than 50 Indigenous members.
"Do you want to do it with us here?"
The player didn't have to worry, Sycamore glanced at the natives, all of them were big-shouldered and round-waisted thugs, and among them there were actually some half-orcs, these green-faced, fanged, and mentally retarded guys were not even as smart as the barbarians who robbed them before.
These orcs are not so much human, but humanoid beasts, and with their intelligence, they can only proudly say that they are much smarter than their relatives, orcs, at least they know how to speak the lingua franca of humans.
Maybe the surrounding players and adventurers, found out about the confrontation between these two groups, once again played their gossip surname, quickly gathered, began to watch, and glanced at the soy sauce crowd who were surrounded by water, Wutong sweated, and now even if they want to run, it seems that they can't run away.
"Your Excellency, I don't think there's anything wrong with you and your entourage here, but that's not my intention!"
The thief gave a mocking smile that made him want to hit him, "Don't you think that being at such a close distance is not so beneficial to you and your mage friends?" Or do you think that if you delay a little time, there will be enforcers to defend the rights and interests of your nobles? One second, only a second, I can make a lot of bleeding holes in you, and if you're confident in your casting speed, try declining my invitation. ”
His gloomy triangular eyes swept the two little loli beside Wutong, and sneered: "As a gentleman, I don't want to show such a rude side in front of two beautiful young ladies. ”
This guy seemed to be telling a bad joke that only the aborigines understood, and many of his subordinates, as well as the aborigines around him, burst out laughing.
The threat to this guy, Wutong's expression began to cool down, to be honest, he is in a very bad mood now, which is quite rare for him with a gentle surname, and the members of the Canghai branch who are hiding behind this gang of aborigines make him very unhappy, these guys are just like boogers, sticking to their fingers, and they can't be bounced away no matter how they play.
"The boss, Mercenary Street, and most of the Outer Fairhaven districts, have no enforcers"
It was still the warrior, carefully reminding his boss, he could see that this boss didn't seem to be too familiar with the rules of Fairhaven City, not only him, but even the other mages didn't seem to know very well.
"He's right."
The female priestess Ling Yue Shuangxue, holding the metal scepter in her hand, stood beside Wutong: "Fairhaven City is not as orderly as you think, and the law is limited to the inner city of Antian, so in the outer city of Fairhaven, it is either a slum area with no law at all, or a civilian area where no one cares as long as you don't commit crimes on the main passage, and then there is an 'autonomous region' like the area near Mercenary Street." ”
"Autonomous region?"
Wutong curiously turned her head to glance at the beautiful and somewhat violent female priestess's face.
"This large guild area where the Mercenary Guild and the Adventure Guild are located is not governed by the laws of Fairhaven City, and as long as there is no large-scale rebellion, there will be no law enforcers. The mercenary guilds and other major guilds are completely responsible for maintaining order here, and here, they have a saying that is: problems that can be solved with fists are not problems. As long as you don't destroy the surrounding shops and some public facilities, and don't cause chaos, no one will sanction you even if you kill the other party. ”
Lingyue Shuangxue licked her plump red lips slightly excitedly, and asked very seriously, "Are we going to beat them?" ”
Wutong Khan nodded: "Okay then, it looks like I have to go with them." ”
Turning to the mages and warriors behind him, he said, "You all stay here, and I'll go with them." ”
Everyone was stunned, especially the four barrier warriors, the employer had not disbanded them yet, so their duties had to be fulfilled, so the leader of the barrier warriors was about to object, but Wutong said a little toughly: "This is an order, warrior!" I have some things, and I want to talk to the chief of this gentleman about the fact that you can protect this little girl. ”
Wutong's tone made everyone stunned, because Wutong, who had always spoken very gently and friendly, had some dangerous aura in his tone, making them involuntarily obey Wutong's orders.
"Very well, please this way, Your Excellency Mage, please bring your precious backpack!" When the thief saw that the threat was in effect, he smiled proudly and gave a slight "gentlemanly" salute: "Please come with me, go this way." ”
Feeling the smile next to him gently tugging at his robe, Wutong lowered his head and smiled: "Xiaoxiao is good, with my sisters, I'll be back soon." ”
As he spoke, he put Xiaoxiao's little hand into Lingyue Frost Snow's hand, and then was surrounded by a group of orc thugs and walked towards a small alley on Mercenary Street, while the leader of the Wanderers of the Canghai Branch, with his own men, followed with a wicked smile.
The mages looked at each other, and after Wutong left, everyone couldn't help but look at the July Liuhuo, who was the head of the No. 44 dormitory, and he was a little at a loss, scratching the back of his head, and he said a little dumbfounded: "Why don't we follow?" ”
"I think we should go and ask the head of the Mercenary Guild, Mr. Taylor, for help!"
Lingyue Frost Snow shook her head and said, "After all, this has already involved the NPC gang, not just our players. As a partner of Arcane Order 44, the Mercenary Guild has an obligation to protect the safety of its partners, right? ”
Although this is the case, everyone knows that how can a behemoth like the Mercenary Guild attach too much importance to a small group of players?
However, just as they were hesitating, somewhere in the alley in the direction they had left, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a cloud of dust that had filled the building as it had collapsed.
Under the cover of the dust cloud, a shuddering blood light rushed into the sky, and a viscous and thick evil aura like blood swept away in an instant, and the people on the entire mercenary street were almost suffocated in the sense of oppression, and even faintly heard a terrifying evil laughter, as if something was tearing through the space and crawling out from some mysterious level!!
This terrible feeling came and went quickly, and under the sudden opening and closing, people couldn't help but think that they had just hallucinated, but in the depths of the alley, the mushroom-shaped smoke cloud that was still rising was still spreading!
After a glance at them, they suddenly ran to wherever they could!
And a large number of players also shouted excitedly after they were fluted, and then drilled into the alley, trying to follow up to see what was going on, and would make such a big movement, but, faster than them, among the major guilds in the guild area, quickly rushed out of groups of figures that could make a whistling sound when they ran, almost flying over the wall, and rushed there first.
However, they were not the first to arrive at the scene, because at the end of the alley, where the smoke and clouds rose, there was a ripple in the space, and one mage after another appeared, and with a wave of their hands, an invisible wall sealed the surroundings, and even a [dark magic], forming a pitch-black black curtain, covering the surroundings, so that no one could see what was going on inside.
They looked at each other in July, and couldn't help sweating like rain, it seems to have made a big deal now!?
Wutong followed the thieves to the stronghold of the so-called "Jackal of the Wild" organization, surrounded by two tall orcs holding him, as if to prevent him from running away, or doing some tricks, and behind this group of half-orc thugs were those players of the Canghai Branch, who blocked the alley tightly, even if Wutong regretted it now and wanted to run, there was no way to get out of the cracks.
The stronghold of "Jackal of the Wild" is just an inconspicuous low and dilapidated building, and a small team of less than 50 people like them with less than 50 main personnel, of course, it is impossible to have a too gorgeous stronghold, but it is already quite powerful to have such a property in Fairhaven City, where every inch of land is valuable, after all, an organization cannot have only one stronghold, and the rabbit still knows the three caves.
Ignoring the crowd gathered outside the stronghold, sitting on the ground or leaning against the wall, with a strange smile on his face, he walked past the members of Jackal of the Wild, and Sycamore stepped into the hut.
In the dark room, a man surnamed was hidden in the darkness, his eyes shimmered at the sycamore who walked in, and said with a smug smile: "Your Excellency the mage, I heard that you have done a very cruel thing to the members of our "Jackal of the Wilderness", maybe I should claim some compensation from you to make up for the loss of the children?" You know, although you have noble status, that status is not enough for you to do whatever you want in Fairhaven. If you don't apologize and soothe the children's wounded hearts, they will be sad."
"Sad? Uh-huh! It's better to be sad than to be hurt. ”
Wutong nodded: "And not only will they be unhappy, but I'm also angry!" ”
