Chapter 334: Black**
In the morning, when Egg and Ellie went downstairs together, it was obvious that the atmosphere was a little different. While Ellijie was showing off her pious robe, Claire secretly pulled her aside, obviously asking something that shouldn't be asked, which made Xiao Nizi blush and run back upstairs......
Egger began to pretend to be confused again, at this time he said that there was no silver three hundred taels here, and he had been here with Xiao Jiehu for one night last night, I am afraid that these guys who live next to him already know it...... Whoever makes these professionals have a much stronger sense than ordinary people, as long as they are a little vigilant, I am afraid they will not be able to hide it.
Why hide it? He and Xiaojie actually dared to go downstairs together, and they didn't plan to hide it.
"Brother Ai, did you spend the night at Sister Jie's last night? I seem to hear a little movement. Claire went to catch up with Xiaojie, and Osa came up to ask Egger.
"Hmm." He didn't want to be entangled in this regard, so he directly called the guy for breakfast, and Osa didn't dare to ask more questions when he looked at him, but there was a hint in a pair of bright eyes that made Egg indescribable.
Reaching out and pinching the girl's left hand, he said, "Osha, don't you want to know?" Actually, you should know that sooner or later, there will be such a day, right? ”
For the rest, he didn't want to say more, and he couldn't say it clearly......
Fortunately, the Terry sisters obviously knew, but they didn't dwell on it, and Osa didn't have a particularly good way to deal with her man's heart. It's just that when he saw Claire coming downstairs with Ellie, the resentment in her eyes frightened him......
"Hurry up and finish breakfast, and then we will go to the mayor's office together, and set off to Raven Ridge with the Night's Watch material team, this is the new mission of our mercenary group." He hurriedly changed the subject......
……
A full 10 carriages were placed in front of the door, and a large number of workers were loading the carts with supplies and food. Weapons, equipment, arrows, oil, all in one. There was also a group of capable people from the night watch, about fifty of them. These are the reinforcements and supplies that Nightshade sent to the Crow Ridge outpost this time.
"Your Excellency is here. The support team is loading the truck, and there will be about half an hour before departure, please come with me into the office, I have two things for you. ”
As soon as Egger and the others arrived, they were immediately blocked by Mayor Solomon, who hurriedly greeted the girls and let them in......
"Thank you for your continued help to Nighttown, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Nighttown itself would not be able to protect it now. Not to mention recovering previously lost ground. I have to say that this time the Raven Ridge group is very dangerous, and the journey is relatively long, it is difficult for Your Excellency and your friends to return here for supplies, and the conditions of the outpost camp are definitely not as good as here, so I have to wronged you. ”
"It's okay, we're mercenaries and don't have much demand for living conditions. There is already psychological preparation. ”
"But I can't help it, you're the benefactor of Nightshade. I was supposed to provide you with the best service, but this mission is too far away, and I am ready to give you a small compensation privately. ”
Compensate? I like this, of course, on the surface, Egger is still quiet.
However, when he saw what the mayor handed over, he couldn't help but be shocked: "This is...... Magic reins? ”
"Yes. I know that there are 6 members of your Warcraft mercenary group, and all of them have mounts, but the innkeeper told me that two of them often have to store their mounts with him, which is very inconvenient for you to carry out your missions. It just so happens that I have two magic reins here. One was for myself when I was younger, and the other was inherited from an old friend of mine, who had died in battle in his early years, and this became his relic. ”
"How dare we accept such a commemorative item?"
"That's not what I said. I'm old now, and I'm not going anywhere but Nighttown, and the magic reins are useless to me. I am also a friend of my own accord, and I am sure that he will be glad to know that his new owner is such a young and promising group of warriors. Come, don't refuse, take it. ”
Seeing that Egg was still hesitating, he immediately added with a tiger face: "I have issued a mission to you to assist Captain Swain in completely eliminating the alien races in Raven Ridge, and to restore peace to Night Town." This is the task reward as my advance, do you accept it? ”
When it comes to this, can Iger not agree? He quickly expressed his determination to help Captain Swain complete his mission.
The magic reins are not equipment, but in the hearts of the mercenaries who need to travel back and forth in various regions, it is basically equivalent to an artifact, and the town elder is so considerate, Iger can only accept it, and admit him in his heart, it seems that this Raven Ridge and his party will not be so easy.
I talked to the mayor about his youth for a while, when there was a noise outside, and some people were shouting, thinking that the whole team was over, and they ended this memory and went out together.
Fifty elite night watchmen, escorting ten carts and forty people, dragged a short procession along the avenue all the way west to the outpost camp of Raven Ridge, and among them, there were six young mercenaries......
In fact, it was said that the Warcraft Mercenary Regiment would escort this supply team, but in fact, there were fifty elite night watchmen accompanying him, and his combat power was very strong, as long as he didn't encounter an opponent like the previous abomination, there would be no big problem. All the monsters and undead creatures encountered on the road were taken care of by them early, and there was no need for Egger and them to do anything, they were also happy to be idle, and they chatted all the way.
"Brother Ai, why did you say that the town elder gave us such a precious magic rein? As I know, it's expensive and rare. ”
After that night, Alysa felt obviously much closer to him, unlike before, there was still a little estrangement, this time she and Claire were given the magic reins, and there was no need to envy Brother Ai, as well as Osa and Terry, who had this thing themselves, were the biggest beneficiaries, and naturally they were more concerned about this.
"He told me that he and an old friend used it when they were younger, and that they gave it to us when they didn't need it anymore. I think it's a good idea first of all, otherwise he wouldn't have had to give us something so precious. In addition, I think this time the Crow Ridge trip is probably more difficult than we imagined, and we still don't know much about the information over there, so I guess the mayor also figured out the way to advance the remuneration of Guò, hoping to rely on our combat power. ”
"I guess so. By the way, Brother Ai, when did you accept Sister Ya? ”
"Huh?" I didn't expect this little girl to change the topic so quickly, and Egger didn't react at once.
"Ahhhh Our sisters have always depended on each other, and we have long agreed that we will not be separated in this life, since we are all like that......" Speaking of this, this thin-skinned little Nizi was still a little shy, but immediately plucked up her courage again: "Anyway, we all know what your idea is, since we are already like this, then when will you comfort Sister Ya?" Her love has not been too high lately. ”
Iger was speechless......
"Soon, soon, you comfort her first, in fact, I have the same thoughts about several of you, how could I let her go if Xiaoya is so beautiful? Let her not be careful. ”
"That's what you said, then I'll tell Sister Ya to go." Ellie rode close to Claire, who was eavesdropping on her ears, and the two sisters got together and muttered for a long time......
After traveling all the way for three days, this can be regarded as entering the Crow Ridge boundary. In fact, if the Egger team comes to hurry, it will definitely not take so long, but they have to guard the material team and not leave without permission, these are all inferior horses, the materials are already heavy, and they can't go fast, for them who are used to rushing quickly, it is simply torment, but this is also a helpless thing, who let them take other people's hands short?
Here in Raven Ridge, the fog is thicker than that of Nighttown, the visibility is lower, and there is a very uncomfortable smell in the air.
"It's dead air, which means that there are a lot of undead creatures around."
Ellie, who is the most sensitive to evil, said. She was a priest, and she naturally hated these undead creatures, not that her mind had been brainwashed by the so-called Holy Light, but she simply didn't like it. In fact, a guy like Egger can be said to be both good and evil, and if he is a dull and pious priest, I am afraid that he is not used to Luo.
"Ahh
At the front of the line, there was a scream, followed by the sound of swords unsheathed, and the "collapse" of bowstring shots......
"What a big spider. Be careful, someone has been bitten! Someone reminded loudly.
Egger and a few women also rushed up, and sure enough, they found a huge black spider on the side of the road, the size of a basin, thinking that it had been lurking on the side of the road, and when a pedestrian passed by, it suddenly rushed out, aiming at the living person. Someone had already been bitten, lying on the ground with a slight moaning sound, and it seemed that he would not live long. The other Night's Watch were besieging the guy, but after one of the Night's Watch was bitten and poisoned, the others did not dare to rush up and shot with bows and arrows from a distance.
"This is a mutated black widow, extremely poisonous, don't fight it in close combat, shoot it with a bow and arrow from a distance, we will shoot it."
This time, the elite captain of the night watchman, an experienced middle-aged man, immediately took over the command and ordered everyone not to approach. Most of the Night's Watch were proficient in archery, and with the exception of the one who had rushed close to the bitten one because he didn't know the situation, everyone else shot the arrows quite accurately, and it didn't take long to shoot the black widow spider into a near-death state.
But that's it, after all, I don't dare to surround it for fear of being highly poisonous, this poisonous spider turns around and wants to escape, and others have no good way. (To be continued......)
