Chapter 225: I Said I'm Strong.
Diokuz stood in front of the mercenary guild's taskbar, a look of embarrassment on his face. You must know that Bard is the strongest human being, and the most important thing is that he also kidnapped his fiancΓ©e and is now under house arrest in Rhodes City.
If you really want to explore the ruins with Bud, needless to say, you will be chased and beaten halfway. This made Diokuz feel embarrassed, and he had to think of other ways.
After pondering, Diocuz turned and walked back to the table. Sitting beside Medusa, she looked down and thought about how to solve this problem. Medusa, who was beside her, couldn't help but show a kind of doubt on her face when she saw Diokuz's contemplative look. Puzzled, she asked:
"What's wrong with you? It's hard to see the way you look. β
Diocuz, who was in deep thought, heard the voice, gave up thinking, turned to look at Medusa, and said in embarrassment:
"I have a grudge against the Lane Empire, and now I'm going to explore the ruins. As a result, I ran into them, and I was a little embarrassed. β
Medusa understood what Diokuz meant, picked up the ale and took a sip, silent as she spoke. There's no way she can help Diokuz, and even if she does, she won't tell him.
For a moment, Medusa had a nice expression on her face when she saw Diokuz's appearance. Let Diokuz know the difficulty and retreat, Medusa still agrees.
But she didn't know Diokuz, and if Diokuz knew the odds and retreated, it wouldn't be Diokuz.
So Diokuz decided to inquire about the team exploring the ruins, and it was impossible for such a big news to be a single team.
Having made up his mind, Diokuz got up and sat down in front of the mercenary on the side under Medusa's gaze. The mercenary at the table saw Diokuz sitting down with a puzzled look on his face, but looking at Diokuz's appearance, there should be something, so he waited for Diokuz to speak.
Seeing the expression used, Diokuz grinned. Asked softly:
"Do you know the team that explores the ruins? Is there anyone else besides the Lane Empire? β
Hear Diokuz's question. The mercenary sitting next to him grinned:
"Boy, is there something I should do before I ask a question?"
The mercenary gestured for gold coins as he spoke, with a greedy smile on his face. Seeing the smile, Diokuz didn't bother to take out a gold coin from his black robe and throw it to the mercenary.
Seeing the gold coins fall into the palm of his hand, a smile appeared on the mercenary's face. He glanced at his companion, then smiled:
"In addition to the Ryan Empire, there are also demon wolf mercenary groups, as well as some small groups. But I've recently heard that the Eyes of Truth will also be involved in this exploration, and that's all I know. β
The Eye of Truth?
Hearing the name, Diokuz's face was full of surprise. But there wasn't much expression on his face, and he got up and left the table and walked back.
Medusa saw Diokuz walk back, staring at the mercenary table with an amused expression. After Diokuz sat down, he said in a somewhat happy tone:
"Inquiry?"
"Well, that's enough."
Diocuz sat down beside Medusa and picked up the juice and drank it.
Hearing the smile on her face, Medusa looked at Diocuz with a smile and said:
"You don't find it, you've been targeted. Just now the mercenary saw that it was so easy to take out the gold coins. I've already treated you like a fat sheep. What are your plans? β
Diokuz didn't have much expression when he heard this, leaned back in his chair and stared at the mercenary just now expressionlessly and said:
"Nothing. There's no need to worry about it at all. β
"Cut."
Medusa looked sideways with great displeasure when she heard Diocuz's nonchalant tone. In her heart, she had already decided that she would never make a move when the mercenaries ambushed Diokuz, she wanted to make Diokuz suffer.
Later, Diokuz and Medusa got up and left the mercenary union.
They were followed by the same table of mercenaries, who had long since discovered that their Diokuz and Medusa had not spoken along the way. Footsteps are block and do not hurry into the middle of the no-man's land.
In the dirty alley, garbage cans are dumped on the ground, and garbage in garbage cans is everywhere. You can also hear the flapping of flies on the garbage pile, and the smell of rot fills the air.
Diokuz and Medusa frowned at the environment of the alley, and felt very uncomfortable.
Walking into the alley, Diokuz and Medusa suddenly stopped. They all looked back in unison, only to see the mercenary who was following him walking fiercely with a weapon on his shoulder, and roughly kicking away the garbage can that was blocking the way on the way.
The kicked trash can immediately deformed with a groan, slammed into the wall, bounced to the ground, and gradually rolled in front of Diokuz and Medusa.
Diokuz looked down at the trash can, sighed with emotion, and looked up at the mercenary who was approaching.
"What's the matter?"
The malevolent mercenary walked up to Diokuz and Medusa, who were close to two and a half meters tall enough to look down at Diokuz and Medusa.
After staring at Diokuz and Medusa for a while, the mercenary said with a sinister smile on his face:
"Boy, you look rich, hand over the money honestly. Otherwise, be careful that we're welcome. β
The mercenary said and waved his weapon in a demonstrative manner.
Seeing the mercenary's actions, a smile appeared on Diokuz's face. Smiling, he stared at the mercenary in front of him, his black pupils peeking out of his hood as if he couldn't see the mercenary.
Seeing Diokuz's eyes, the mercenary shouted angrily:
"Boy, you're looking for death."
At that moment, the weapon clenched in his palm glared at Diokuz, and the whole person burst out with murderous aura.
Sensing the murderous aura, Medusa, who was standing behind Diokuz, smiled and took a step back. She looked at Diokuz with a playful look and said:
"I'm not going to help you, just wait and suffer."
Diokuz stood there and smiled, looked back at Medusa and smiled:
"I said I was strong, but you don't believe it."
"Cut, that's all it takes. Strength is not something that can be conjured up by talking. β
Medusa was dissatisfied with Diokuz's answer, staring at him with disbelief on her face.
At this moment, the mercenary suddenly rushed in front of Diokuz, raised the weapon in his hand, and slashed down towards Diokuz.
"You self-defeating brat!"
Swish!
The mercenary's sword slashed at Diokuz with a cold light, and the sound of the sword breaking through the air lingered in everyone's ears. Diokuz felt the whizzing sword, and his face remained calm. Medusa on the side saw the whistling long sword with surprise on her face: Damn, why don't you hide!
Seeing that Diokuz was about to be slashed by the long sword, Medusa hurriedly raised her hand and opened her mouth to summon her black snake.
However, Diokuz's reaction surprised everyone.
I saw Diokuz raise his hand and block the position of the falling sword with his sleeve, and suddenly the long sword fell and stood on Diokuz's arm.
Seeing his long sword slash into Diokuz's arm, the mercenary laughed:
"Stupid fellow, actually blocking the sword with his hands! You're dead! β
However, the long sword that slashed at Diokuz did not cut off Diokuz's arm, but bounced it back!
Boast!
The sound of slashing steel echoed through the alley, and the massive reaction force caused the sword to break out of the mercenary's hand and spin in midair.
For a moment, everyone's faces showed incredulity.
Medusa maintained a black posture, her face was full of incredulity, and the whole person was stunned in place, and her mouth opened slightly unconsciously. (To be continued......)
