Chapter 159: The Mysterious Baron

Nigad's soldiers led Zhao Li to the entrance of Baiyang Village, where Zhao Li saw another group of men.

There are about dozens of people in this group, among which there are only a small number of Nigadian soldiers, and more are strong men of different colors and armor, holding various weapons and shields, and the few people in the lead are even more eye-catching.

One was a knight in a tight black cloak, except for a pair of extremely fair, delicate palms grasping the reins, not an inch of skin was exposed, and even the face was hidden deep in the cloak, and it was impossible to see the face.

Next to this black-cloaked knight was an extremely strong, expressionless, middle-aged strong man in leather armor, this strong man was wearing a steel sword around his waist and a silver sword on his back, what attracted Zhao Li's attention even more was the eyes of this cold and strong man.

It was a pair of eyes that were completely different from ordinary people - pale gold, which seemed to glow slightly under the sunlight, and the pupils were a narrow vertical slit, which looked like... Snake pupils!

"Demon Hunter!"

With just one glance, Zhao Li quickly made a judgment in his heart.

Although Franconia had never seen a real demon hunter, Zhao Li knew that this cold man with snake eyes who wore both a steel sword and a silver sword was definitely a demon hunter!

"Hey, there's a new guy here!"

"Young boy, have you ever seen a monster?"

"Boy, did you just sign up to be a mercenary?

"Haha, look, this kid still has four swords on him!"

Seeing Zhao Li coming, those strong men wearing a variety of different costumes and armor all came over and began to comment on Zhao Li.

Zhao Li swept his gaze over these people again, and knew the identities of these people - they should all be mercenary warriors hired by the Western Nigad Kingdom to hunt monsters.

The reason why instead of soldiers hunting monsters, it is quite easy to understand that demon hunters and mercenary warriors should be hired, soldiers demand obedience, even if it is a farmer, after months of training, stuffed with a weapon, thrown into the phalanx of progressive soldiers, is a qualified soldier.

However, in order to hunt monsters, it takes strong personal martial arts and traps, magic and other messy abilities, and in this regard, soldiers are obviously inferior to demon hunters and mercenaries.

However, the mercenaries are obviously a very xenophobic, and at the same time pay attention to "whoever has a big fist, whoever has a useful word", in the eyes of the mercenaries at the entrance of these villages, although the new Zhao Li's physique is quite strong, but it is the grade of an ordinary peasant guy, and he does not look like a real mercenary warrior at all.

Zhao Li just glanced at these muscular mercenaries with disdain, don't look at these people whose muscles look quite strong, but they are all ordinary people through and through, if they really want to fight, let them easily knock them all down with one hand and one foot.

Zhao Li's contemptuous attitude also made these mercenaries even more unhappy, if it weren't for the presence of Nigad's soldiers on the side, I am afraid that someone would have come over to make contact with Zhao Li with his body.

"Lord Baron, we have found a mercenary in the village with good strength, his name is Francon, and he has slain water ghosts and ghouls!"

The soldier who brought Zhao Li over stepped forward and said to the man in black cloak.

"Ghouls? impossible!"

Immediately, a mercenary on the side raised a questioning voice.

"This lad might be able to kill a lone water ghost, but ghouls, haha, I don't believe it either. ”

"Haha, maybe there were several sheep together to help him kill the ghoul?"

The other mercenaries on the side also started to cheer.

For mercenaries who do not have extraordinary strength and fight purely by skill and a handful of mortal strength, being able to kill a water ghost in one-on-one means that they are a qualified warrior.

As for killing a ghoul, it wasn't impossible, but it was definitely an extremely sophisticated and skilled mercenary, and how could this young man known as Francon, who looked to be in his twenties at most, be a ghoul's opponent?

The baron, who was shrouded in a large black cloak, didn't seem to care at all, and with a shake of his hand, he took out a small cloth bag from under the cloak and threw it at Zhao Li.

Ding Ding Bell –

Zhao Li took the small cloth bag and heard the sound of metal hitting from the cloth bag.

When I opened this small cloth bag, I saw that inside were ten gold coins with the portrait of King Nigad of the West!

"Ten... !”

Even Zhao Li couldn't help but open his mouth slightly at this time.

He already has a full understanding of the value of gold coins in this world, and a real mercenary may not be able to earn one or two gold coins even if he fights to the death.

"This is the first mercenary payment, and there is an additional bounty for each monster killed. ”

The mysterious baron in the black cloak rode on his horse and said to Zhao Li in a cold tone.

"This is a warrior who has actually killed ghouls, I can smell the ghoul stench on him, he shouldn't be paid the same price as everyone else. ”

At that moment, the expressionless demon hunter spoke to the side with a sneering tone.

Zhao Li looked at this strong man, and was shocked, it seems that the demon hunter really has a bit of a doorway, although he killed the ghoul just ten hours ago, but he returned to the inn but took a bath, can he still smell it?

What's more, he's a dark wizard, and if the Demon Hunter finds out his identity... Zhao Li was a little worried.

"What? Actually killed a ghoul..."

"This kid..."

Hearing the words of the demon hunter, the mercenaries gathered on the side were full of disbelief on their faces, and those mocking words quickly disappeared, and there was a little awe in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Li.

Obviously, this demon hunter was of extremely high status, and no one present would doubt his words.

The mysterious man in the black cloak was silent, and with a flip of his hand, he actually took out a small cloth bag with a "jingling" sound and threw it directly at Zhao Li.

Zhao Li was dumbfounded, what is the situation? There is too much money and there is no place to spend it?

But after catching this bag of gold coins, Zhao Li quickly reacted, and said hurriedly: "Wait, I'm willing to accept the employment, but I don't want so many gold coins, can I want a set of heavy armor?"

I saw the mysterious man in the black cloak, without saying a word, stretched out a white hand and threw it on the ground in front of Zhao Li.

Bang Dong –

I saw a complete set of bright and dazzling, including a fully closed helmet, hand armor, leg armor, breastplate, knee pads, and even a complete set of steel heavy helmets, which fell in front of Zhao Li with a clatter, and it was also printed with the unique family emblem pattern of a nobleman in the Nigadian Empire...
