Volume 1: Pride Chapter 45: Are You Afraid of Wolves?
"Alright, you put your things back in the tent first, and we'll be on our way in a moment."
The joy on Eudora's face Xiao Yueluo naturally saw it in her eyes, and when she saw her running towards the camp, she knew in her heart that her gift was not wrong, after all, the gift was not valuable but the preference of the recipient, as long as it was in line with her heart, then even a goose stone would be regarded as a cherished thing.
"As for your ......" her gaze swept through the queue one by one, and then Xiao Yueluo frowned deeply, "Why are there fewer people?" What about the people in the first and second teams? ”
There were a total of one hundred and thirty mercenaries, so in order to facilitate the management of Xiao Yueluo, ten queues were divided, and each team had thirteen people to choose a captain to lead. In addition to the first and third teams led by Caesar and Emir, there are also the second team led by Eudora, the fourth team led by Earl, and so on.
However, because Eudora is more special, as Xiao Yueluo's adjutant, she also has a lot of things to deal with on weekdays, so the second team is responsible for the daily training of the team's additional vice captain, as for the name...... Xiao Yueluo remembered that it seemed to be called Isaac, that is, the middle-aged man who stood up to challenge her at the beginning.
"General, Captain Caesar and Captain Emir have taken their team to Duveton Forest, saying that they want to clean up the mutant beasts around the camp in advance."
While everyone was silent, Earl, who had tied up the horse, also walked over from not far away, and when he walked nearby, he naturally explained to Xiao Yueluo.
"I see." After a few deep groans, Xiao Yueluo raised her head, "Since that's the case, then wait...... It seems that there is no need, Earl, you should return to the team first. ”
Glancing at Eudora who ran towards here from the tent, she waited until Earl walked back to the team before she spoke again: "This mission will be sent to you when the forest camp is in place, and considering the identity of everyone's mercenaries, the task reward will also adopt a point system." Each kind of prey is divided into different levels according to its strength, and the higher the level, the higher the hunting points, and the ......"
Speaking of this, Xiaoyue Luo paused and then glanced at Eudora who was standing beside her very "consciously", and Eudora immediately took out a dozen information cards from her pocket after receiving someone's eye signal, and then ran to the team to distribute them.
"These cards record some of the mutant beasts you may encounter and their strength levels, and you can choose the tasks you can accept based on these materials, of course...... If you hunt a mutant that isn't on the card while you're on a mission, you can also register with Eudora and get extra exploration points in addition to your own points. Also, if you encounter a mutant beast that a team can't defeat, you can also choose to cooperate with each prey in addition to giving up, as for the score obtained by each team divided equally, do you hear clearly? ”
Everyone: "Hear me! ”
It is obedience and respect, and after this period of getting along, everyone can be regarded as completely understanding Xiao Yueluo's style of acting. They look aggressive, but they're actually unusually easy-going, and generally don't come to them for trouble as long as they don't go overboard.
Of course, one of the most surprising points for them was Xiao Yueluo's attitude towards people, the kind of treatment that did not despise everyone because they were mercenaries, obviously had the unique temperament and identity of the aristocracy, but they couldn't see a little arrogance and prejudice in the aristocracy.
"Now that you've heard it clearly, let's set off and target the forest camp!"
An hour later, Xiao Yueluo walked slowly along the path of Duveton Forest, and beside her was the head wolf that Xu had not seen.
"Shadow, I've worked hard for you during this time, as a thank you if you want to get out of the forest, I can take you to the royal capital in two days."
In fact, the information on those information cards was collected by the first wolf after coming here, although he left the wolf pack, it is undeniable that as the wolf king, it still has a great advantage in the forest, at least in terms of understanding the ability of mutant beasts, testing strength, etc., it is indeed much stronger than her personally going into battle.
"No, while there are many things in the human town that I haven't seen before, I'm still here anyway."
"Well, if you think so......" Xiao Yueluo spread her hands, her voice sounding a little helpless, "I'm in Duveton Forest during this time, if you need anything, you can come to the camp to find me." ”
"Camp? You brought those mercenaries here? ”
The head wolf raised his eyes and glanced at the girl next to him, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, according to his observations in the human town some time ago, many humans can be said to be avoiding the current forest. Not to mention spending the night in the forest, even if they let them come and pick some herbs, it is no different from asking them to die, but the lord next to it is good, even the camp has moved in, this looks like it is planning to stay for a long time, right?
"That's right." Xiao Yueluo nodded and didn't deny this fact, but immediately seemed to think of something, and changed her words, "If you're worried about those mercenaries...... I'll say hello to the mercenaries in advance so you don't have to avoid them when you come to me. ”
"Whatever you want."
The head wolf replied lightly, but then he was a little puzzled: "Didn't you always want to expose my relationship with you before?" Why? ”
"Actually, I have a plan on this issue......
After a while, Xiao Yueluo simply told the head wolf her thoughts, but she thought that her actions would cause the head wolf to be disgusted, but she didn't want to......
"I see." The wolf's voice sounded a little muffled, and it was more like contemplation than disgust, "But if you want to help those humans subdue the mutant beasts, it may be a bit difficult. ”
"Difficult? Wait a minute, won't you find it disgusting? Xiao Yueluo looked at the head wolf in some surprise, she was ready to be rejected, but she didn't want this wolf to seem like she didn't care much, and in addition to not caring, she was even giving her advice...... It feels ...... It's absolutely stunning......
"Why be disgusted? You don't seem to have much to do with me, do you? ”
"Aren't you and them both beasts......"
"There are differences between beasts, just as you humans are divided into races, and even wolves have little to do with me." The head wolf lowered his head as if he was sniffing something, but the voice never stopped, "I am a beast, so some are beasts, and you humans have classified beasts as indifferent and cruel representatives since ancient times, so it is not surprising that I have such thoughts, right?" ”
...... "You yourself say that you are indifferent and cruel, what else can she do?" Say you're warm, gentle, and cute? It's impossible to think about.
Xiao Yueluo was a little speechless, because she really didn't know how to continue, so she had to forcibly change the topic: "Speaking of which, what have you been smelling since the beginning?" ”
"Someone is nearby, but ...... I'm not sure which way to go. ”
"Anyone?"
His eyebrows were furrowed, and he subconsciously looked left and right to find out where the person the wolf was talking about, but there was no abnormality in his vision.
"Did you misjudge? Or is it some kind of mutant beast or something? Xiao Yueluo asked.
"No, this aura is definitely coming from humans."
The head wolf raised his head and looked ahead vigilantly, and Xiao Yueluo was still thinking about saying something when she saw it like this, but the next second the head wolf directly bared her teeth and let out a threatening roar.
"That's ......"
looked in the direction that the head wolf was facing at the moment, and then Xiao Yueluo saw a corner of your clothes peeking out from behind the giant tree in front of her: "Come out, since you deliberately let me see the corners of your clothes, you must not want to hide anymore, right?" ”
The reason why Xiao Yueluo didn't notice the abnormality before, in addition to the fact that the tree was far away from a person and a wolf, was that this person had a strong ability to hide, otherwise the wolf wouldn't just smell it, you must know that the alertness and observation of animals are much stronger than most humans.
The breeze was cool and the surroundings were a little dark at the moment because the trees were too tall and the sun was not so strong around eight o'clock.
And Xiao Yueluo and the head wolf looked at the big tree for a long time and didn't see the people behind them come out, so they gradually lost their patience: "I'll give you three seconds, if you don't come out again, then I won't guarantee your safety after a while, you must know that this one around me is hungry." ”
After speaking, the first wolf also cooperated and roared twice, and the full threat was undisguised.
"Don't, General, don't, don't let that wolf come."
The voice from the front had a hint of crying, but the familiar way of speaking and the title made Xiao Yueluo frown, and then before she could speak again, a man and a wolf saw a small figure slowly walking out from behind the big tree with both hands.
"Why are you here?"
The familiar face, the familiar dress, and the familiar height, all of this made Xiao Yueluo twitch the corners of her mouth fiercely. She didn't expect that it was not someone else who had been following her, but Eudora who had been very sticky to her in the barracks, and that aggrieved look might have been misunderstood if others looked at her.
"That, the general is great...... You, can you let that wolf go a little farther? ”
Eudora shrunk her neck and looked at the head wolf with a frightened expression, and that weeping look suddenly made Xiao Yueluo understand something.
"Are you afraid of wolves? Aren't you a mercenary? ”
Xiao Yueluo helped her forehead a little helplessly, she really didn't expect that Yi Lori, who was usually so strong, would be afraid of wolves.
"It's true that they're mercenaries, but I consciously avoid them every time I do a mission, so ......" Eudora explained with her head down, but the voice ......
