The group came to the tavern owner, and Les knocked on the counter: "Two rooms, big ones." ”
The tavern owner put down the glass in his hand: "The room is fine, but I paid for the chairs and plates first." ”
Les smiled and popped a silver coin out on the counter. The chair wasn't valuable, and neither was the plate.
"Would you like something to eat? The bacon we have here is quite good. The boss was still slow-moving, and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all for the guests to fight.
"No, we have our own. But it's okay to have a few drinks first......" Les said as he popped out another silver coin. He waited until the tavernkeeper had put the silver coins away before he continued.
"I don't know how many boats there are a day to the other side?"
The tavern owner finally looked up at the crowd, and then continued to wipe the glasses: "Three shifts, one in the morning and one at noon." If you're not in a hurry, the boat is good at noon and afternoon. But if you're in a hurry, the five a.m. shift should be early enough. ”
Les casually distributed the few glasses of ale that the tavern owner had just pushed over to the others, then picked one up and took a sip: "Thank you." By the way, the wine is good. ”
The tavern owner looked up again, but this time, he didn't look at Rice and them, but the group of guys behind him who sat down again, but still looked at Rice and the others from time to time.
"Red-blooded jackal...... Those guys, not very easy to deal with. He didn't raise his eyelids, but several people knew that he was saying this to them.
"Pretty vicious guy by name. But I've never heard of it, it's probably a little-known mercenary group. Les laughed. Unimpressed.
"That's true, the most powerful regiment leader among them has only just reached the sixth level. It's just that they are numerous, narrow-minded, and unscrupulous. As their name suggests, jackals are the kind of creatures that rarely go head-to-head with beasts, but follow behind. Wait for the moment when the beast shows its flaws. ”
Les flicked a silver coin on the counter again: "That's a weak beast too." Strong beasts, if they dare to come forward, they will also become the fate of food. Okay boss, take us to where we are staying. ”
The boss sighed, shook his head, and nodded to the other waiter next to him: "Take them with you." ”
The waiter agreed, and the leader led the group towards the guest room behind.
And this time. The group of guys who were drinking around the table again, were whispering.
"One of those guys has good strength, and the others, that is, the silver level, are not very strong."
The silver rank is no longer weak among adventurers. But as long as it's not that kind of small place in the middle of nowhere. Most of the adventurers' strength will reach the silver level...... Otherwise, you don't even have the right to venture outside.
Six people, three silver low-level, one hasn't even reached the silver level, and a little girl who looks like an ordinary person...... This adventurous group. It's not that strong.
"What, you're going to do a vote? Don't say it. Those girls look too smart, much stronger than those soliciting "jinv"! But it's not worth delaying us for a few women......"
"Then I'm fucking disgraced? And it's not just about the women. Don't you show up, their magic pockets are bulging. Most of the adventurers here came out of the Misty Forest. The magic pocket is bulging, which means that it must be full of prey......" The greedy look on Hawke's face.
"It's also said that if it's usual, it's worth it. But we have something big to do soon, and if we delay at this time...... the other hesitated.
"What are you afraid of! Where can we delay again? That won't start until three days later, and we'll cut them off tomorrow, just a few guys, and that guy with a big sword in both hands will be a little more difficult to deal with. But don't we have a killer feature? Let's get that thing to use first......" Hawk chuckled.
“…… That's what the other party used to do that for us! If only I had used it here first......"
"It's okay, it's okay! That thing is not a one-time thing, as long as we do it secretively, no one notices, and it's fine! The harvest of that group of people is definitely not small, plus there are three more beauties to enjoy...... Are you not tempted? ”
The others were silent. They didn't do this kind of thing once or twice, so they were naturally quite tempting...... That's a lot of money!
"Well, we'll be waiting for them across the river tomorrow morning! I believe they have just ventured back, and they should not get up early to catch the boat. When the time comes, find a place where no one is there and deal with them, and you can come back and enjoy it......" A group of people gathered around, hehehe, smiling......
And Ji Ran and the others followed the waiter towards the guest room.
"Excuse me, who are those red-blooded jackals?" Les suddenly stepped forward and followed the waiter, slipping a silver coin into his hand.
Feeling the shape of the silver coin in his hand, the waiter couldn't help but smile on his face: "Those guys are notorious and often do things that kill people and sell goods. But because there is no evidence, they have nothing to fear. And there is no regulation here, as long as it is not done on the surface, everyone will turn a blind eye. Their eldest is called Vic, and that Hawke is a brother. The strength is good, which is also one of the reasons why they can still mix here. But it's been a little strange lately, they've been here for days, and they haven't left, and they don't know what they want to do. ”
Les narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Thank you, it's really a bunch of nasty people." Don't they have any enemies? ”
The waiter shrugged his shoulders: "Of course there is, and there are quite a few." But the strength of those enemies is not as good as theirs, so naturally there is nothing they can do. However, I think that when they mess with someone they shouldn't mess with, they may have to be removed from the mercenary world. ”
Les was pleased with the waiter's information, so he stuffed him with another silver coin. The waiter smiled even more happily. I asked them if they had any other needs. Les waved him away, and the group went into Rice's room where they belonged to the man.
"This bunch of guys. I shouldn't give up lightly. Rice said straight to the point.
Ji Ran also nodded: "It doesn't sound like they're very open-minded people, although they are suppressed by the tavern owner here, but if they leave here, no one can say what they will do." ”
"So everyone have to be careful...... There should be no problem at night, the tavernkeeper's deterrent power is still quite strong. But tomorrow we will go to the other side, and then, perhaps. ”
"And the boat we have tomorrow morning?" Anya expressed her opinion on the side.
Ji Ran sneered. Shaking his head: "Why avoid them?" I'm not happy with what they're saying to you. If they dare to intercept us on the road, then we have to teach them a good lesson! ”
Erin nodded on the side: "I also think that their mouths should be pierced by my arrows." ”
Rice clapped his hands: "Okay, don't worry about it so much." We've been out for a long time and should have a good rest. Tomorrow's thing. More on that tomorrow. If they don't stop us, it's naturally the easiest, if they dare to stop us, then let them know that not everyone is something they can mess with! ”
Rice's words put the matter to a conclusion, so the group talked a few more words, and went to sleep.
The next day. By the time everyone got up, the sun was already high.
The first boat had already departed, so the group had breakfast slowly and waited for the noon boat.
And before the sun turned overhead, the ferry sailed back.
It's not a small ship. Accommodating dozens of people on it is not a problem. There were more than a dozen boatmen rowing the boat, and the owner of the boat didn't seem to be an ordinary person. He is a fifth-level warrior.
Les's group bought tickets and got on the boat, but their vigilance never let go. Who knows what that group is going to do? What if you attack the ship halfway? Although everyone can't say that they don't know the nature of water, they really don't have that ability to maintain their combat effectiveness in the water.
However, along the way, the wind and waves were calm, and nothing happened. The ferry arrived on the other side of the river, and everyone got off the boat. After disembarking, everyone else went in the direction they were going, and no one stopped.
Ji Ran and the others did not relax their vigilance. If that group of people is not in the middle of the river, then the most likely thing is to go ahead. After crossing the Lebrey River, there was also a wilderness ahead, and there was not even a small village.
This wilderness is already considered the territory of the Liber Kingdom, but it is very barren and there is no one to manage it. There is not much production in this place, and only a few merchants will run this road. But most of the merchants will take the other larger, more trafficked ferries, and here more of them are the adventurers.
It was useless to wait here, and the group naturally walked in the direction of the Liber Kingdom.
There are sparse trees in this wilderness, but more exposed sand and gravel ground. It is said that there was a battle in this area in ancient times, and although the scale was not large, the consequences were quite severe...... A sand magic that makes it ungrown, unable to feed any plants. Of course, as millennia have passed, this effect has faded, but it is still barren. But now there are some plants and monsters here, and slowly, there are also adventurers who will come here to explore - of course, not the high-level adventure places.
After walking for a while, the group came to a canyon. This canyon is not too big, but the height is quite high, and the cliffs on both sides are about twenty or thirty meters. If you want to get around the canyon, you will have to walk a long way, which is very troublesome. Therefore, the group naturally chose to pass through the canyon of Guò.
However, as the group reached the middle of the canyon, a sinister laugh came from the front.
"Hahaha, you're here. Yesterday was cool, right? But our brother isn't very happy. If you know each other, you quickly throw your belongings and weapons to the ground and surrender honestly. Otherwise...... Don't try to get out of this canyon! ”
This grim voice is the same Hawk yesterday.
