Chapter 294: Wanted
Climbing over the endless mountains is also hard work. But with Rice, a person who is familiar with the terrain, it is not too difficult to ask, not to mention that everyone has prepared a map...... The maps of this era are quite accurate in a small area, after all, there are flying spells, and it is not too difficult to depict the terrain from above down...... Because there are also all kinds of recording spells.
The map shows that there is a depression not far from the side of the crowd, which allows people to pass through the guΓ². Although ordinary people can't take advantage of it, it's not too much of a problem for adventurers.
And in the vicinity of this depression, there are several relatively large populations of demonic beasts. The strength of these demonic beasts is about four or five levels, and the larger teams are easy to hunt. So, it's also a popular adventure area.
Ji Ran and the others now plan to cross the Endless Mountain Range from there and enter the Ere Empire.
Moving all the way, carefully covering the traces behind them, everyone did not encounter much trouble on the road. Of course, those more powerful demonic beasts still have to get out of the way.
Soon, they were close to the hollow. Slowly, the traces of human activity began to increase. Occasionally, you can see a campfire that has been extinguished and cooled, indicating that this is already an area for adventurers.
Just because you have passed the depression does not mean that everyone is safe...... But after all, it's one step closer to breaking away from the Endless Mountains. That gold-level powerhouse probably means that he is a person from the Liber Kingdom, and he should not enter the Ere Empire lightly - a gold-level powerhouse actually has various restrictions in many aspects. Although it is not explicitly written, most of the Gold-level powerhouses will abide by it.
After all, as a gold-tier powerhouse. No one wants to go to war with another strong man who is about the same as themselves for no reason.
But this is the revenge of the murderer. No one dared to guarantee that the golden-rank powerhouse would not go crazy. their purpose. Or do you want to blend in with these adventurers...... Then, if that gold-level powerhouse wanted to find them again, it would be difficult.
Ji Ran and his group were easy to recognize, because there were not many people with an elf and a little girl. Although they can use things like cloaks to cover their faces and change their appearance, they are still easy to see. But once you're in an area where adventurers are active, it's not so easy to find them.
So, they're aiming now. It is to cross this depression and reach the other end, which in fact has many more adventurers on the other end than on this side...... The adventurous spirit of the Ere Empire is much higher than that of the Liber Kingdom.
Moreover, the resources over there are also more abundant, there are more types of Warcraft, and the level is lower. Naturally, the other side is more attractive to those adventurers who are not of high level.
Ji Ran and the others had already taken out their cloaks and put them on their bodies, so that others could not see their faces clearly...... I can't even tell that Erin is an elf. And as for Alice's little girl styling - that's easier to solve.
She just had to float in mid-air. will naturally make her height a lot taller. If ordinary people don't pay attention, they won't be able to see it at all.
Such a group of people. Following the traces of the adventurer's stay before, he slowly walked towards the depression.
Then, not long after, they ran into a group of people.
Half of the adventurers who can come to this side of the mountain to take risks have some confidence in their own strength. You know, Ji Ran and they arrived here, but they climbed up from the cliff...... Not everyone has the ability to climb that cliff, so even adventurers from the Kingdom of Liber rarely appear here. For adventurers, this is a dangerous area.
The group of adventurers on the opposite side was about two dozen or sozen. At a cursory glance, half of the members are level five, and there are two or three level six. None of the other members were below the Silver rank.
These adventurers were clearly disciplined, and the camp was well built. When Ji Ran and the others arrived here, it was dinner time. The people on the other side were busy cooking, and some adventurers were sitting together chatting and restingβbut even in such a moment of relaxation, there were still a few adventurers patrolling the camp gate.
These adventurers appear to be similar in size to mercenary groups, but they are significantly more disciplined and well-organized than ordinary mercenary groups. The leader of these people is obviously quite capable - in other words, probably very ambitious.
Ji Ran and the others didn't want to provoke such a person, so after nodding with the patrol officer at the door, they planned to bypass them and find another place to camp.
But at this time, a man came out of the camp.
"You're adventurers, aren't you? It's a kind of fate for everyone to meet here, so why don't you rest together? Our Rock Grip Mercenary Group welcomes new friends, and we're sure we'll have good news for each other! β
This is also a tradition of adventurers, and if they meet in the wild and there is no hostility towards each other, it is indeed best to exchange news. Because no one dares to say that they can fully understand the vast unknown area...... What's more, those places may change at some point.
Ji Ran glanced at Rice, and Rice hesitated and nodded.
"It's fine. But let's not bother you, let's just exchange information here. β
Rice's words are also a common choice for adventurers...... It's a wilderness here! The area is not controlled by the law!
casually enter other people's lair, even if others kill you, no one can cry out for you. For the sake of safety, it is common sense not to enter someone else's station lightly - especially if the opponent's strength seems to be much stronger than your own.
The other side also seems to understand this and has no objection. So he waved his hand, and several more people came out from behind him, and stood in front of Rice and the others together.
There's nothing to say about exchanging information, that is, the distribution of magical beasts on the other side of the two sides, the resource situation, the terrain, and all kinds of changes due to the season. In the final analysis, it is to prevent unforeseen trouble after reaching the other side.
in the process of exchanging information. The one who stood up and spoke to Rice. A guy in his thirties with a smile on his face. casually asked: "Is there any news from Liber recently?" The Alchemy Conference is over, right? How is the Alchemy Contest ranked? β
Rice shook his head: "We didn't pay much attention to that, and it came out before the game was over. What has been the news lately, we don't know too well. β
The smiling man on the other side laughed twice: "That's really a pity, I heard that the works of every alchemy competition will be taken out and sold, and it is very likely that you can buy good quality and cheap things...... You didn't stay to see the results, what a great opportunity. β
Les smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, most of those works were made by those players in a short period of time." At first glance, it is good, but after all, it is a little worse than those finely carved alchemy products. Cheap is cheap. But it's not necessarily a good deal. This thing, depending on the opinion, we don't like it very much. β
The smiling man smiled even more heartily: "That's right, it can be seen that Your Excellency is a very knowledgeable person." But it's a bit dangerous for you to venture here with such a small number of people. β
Les remained silent: "Actually, it's nothing, if you don't take risks, how can you get promoted, it's better to go to the edge of the Endless Mountain Range to brush those low-level demonic beasts, it's safer." β
The smiling man looked up to the sky and laughed: "That's right, that's right, how can you gain if you don't take risks!" So. Take a risk once in a while, and you may be able to win a great fortune! β
And with his words. The few people behind him slowly surrounded Ji Ran and the others.
At the same time, Ji Ran and the others also appeared, and behind and on the side, there were also many people who were slowly moving towards them. And when he looked up, many of the people in the camp had disappeared, and only a few of them were left to make a lively appearance. It seemed that the rest of the people had just taken the opportunity of Les talking to the smiling man from other places to surround them.
ββ¦β¦ What do you mean by that? Such a large mercenary group, do you still care about this little thing on us? If you want, just give it to you. Les didn't panic, but still calmly asked the smiling man opposite.
"I'm sorry, it's not your gains that we need, but the people of you...... Do you know or not, there's already a bounty being offered. Now your clues are worth five thousand gold coins. If you get your heads, each one will be worth 10,000 gold coins! The smile on the smiling man's face didn't change, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.
ββ¦β¦ Who do you think we are? I don't remember that we had such a rich enemy. "Rice still hasn't done it.
"Don't pretend, you're the ones who killed Kaz's son, right? Tyrian, you won't forget that name, right? Kaz is a madman, but he's a rich maniac who talks about credit. Your lives are now worth more than ordinary monsters! There was a hint of cruelty in the smiling man's voice.
Les finally stopped talking and hiding. He took off the hood of his cloak and looked at the group with his true face: "How did you show up?" β
The smiling man looked proud: "It's very simple, the broken cloak on your body is definitely not like what you said, the alchemy competition came here before it ended." Isn't there enough suspicion that the number of people is the same and their faces are hidden? And ......"
The smile on the smiling man's face turned into a sneer: "Even if you admit it, what if you make a mistake?" No one else will know about it anyway! β
Hearing his words, Ji Ran knew why the mercenary group in this world was not welcomed. What if you admit your mistake? This phrase represents an attitude towards human life...... As long as no one else knows, it doesn't matter!
This is the case with most mercenary groups, where money is more important than human life.
The mercenary group has already surrounded them. Unlike those mercenaries I had seen before, these people advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and their formation was reasonable, far from being comparable to that rabble.
"Looks like you're not an ordinary mercenary group, are you? If you see through it, we can be regarded as planting. But at least let me know who I fell into, right? Les asked the smiling man.
ββ¦β¦ Want revenge after the fact? Hehehe, I don't think you have that possibility. It's more expensive to get you back, but which madman Kaz might spare your life? His beloved son was killed by you...... He's only going to make your death more painful! But since you said so, then I can grant you one last wish. β
The smile on the smiling man's face finally disappeared, and it was replaced by a formal look.
"I'm not lying to you, we are indeed the Rock Grip Mercenary Regiment. And I'm the captain of the 3rd Brigade, Vos. Remember me, the one who sent you to hell with my own hands! β
"Voss, the smiling fox, it's you. If it were you, it wouldn't be surprising to see through who we are. But what I'm curious about is that it doesn't seem to have happened for a few days, and even you know about it? β
Vos couldn't help but have a smug look on his face when he heard Rice actually heard his nickname. And then the next question made him laugh.
"Who do you think Kaz is? Liber is arguably the craziest of the Golden Order...... Even people who are higher than him are not willing to provoke him, you dare to kill all his sons! Now Kaz has spent a lot of money to get wanted warrants from various mercenary groups that are venturing in the Endless Mountains...... It can be said that the slightly larger forces are paying attention to you! It's so lucky that you actually took the initiative to bump into it......"
Hearing this, Ji Ran and the others naturally knew what was going on. The gold-tier powerhouse, Kaz, knew that it would be difficult to catch them on his own, so he used money to tempt those mercenary groups to arrest them together...... Of course, this approach of his, it worked.
After getting the news he wanted, Les naturally didn't have to continue talking to the smiling fox Voss.
"Thank you for the news, that's what we really want. Then let's go, you guys have a good rest, no need to send it! β
After saying this, Les suddenly drew his big sword, then aimed it at the front and swung it hard!
With a bang, the big sword slammed into the ground. As his yellow fighting qi burrowed into the ground, the ground around him suddenly tumbled. In an instant, on this piece of the ground, there was even a feeling that the ground was shaking!
The approaching mercenaries stumbled a few steps one by one. Countless fighting spirits lit up, and those mercenaries stabilized their bodies with the help of their fighting spirits. There were also a few mercenaries who simply jumped up and threw themselves directly at Ji Ran and the others!
With a few whoosh, several arrows flew towards the mercenaries. Erin drew her longbow, forcing the jumping mercenaries to swing their weapons in mid-air to block.
At this time, the two mercenaries dressed as magicians behind Navos began to chant incantations. The other mercenaries also drew their weapons and pounced viciously towards the group! (To be continued......)
