The purpose of the construction of the Iron Wall Outpost is mainly to prevent demonic beasts that may rush out of the swamp when the elemental tide comes, but the attitude towards the sin city in the depths of the swamp is relatively ambiguous. It is true that there are all exiled criminals, but not all of them are the most heinous people, and the people of the city of Sin are more appropriately called losers than sinners. For these things, the ordinary people of the empire did not have the slightest experience, and at the same time did not care. But for the so-called "victors" in high positions, these so-called sinners are not existences that need to be exterminated, and at some point, they will also exude some residual heat and play some role that is not humane. It is extremely ridiculous that in order to ensure that these occasionally useful losers can survive smoothly in the swamp, neither the Kronos Empire nor the Huangyu of the East have forbidden domestic merchants to enter the depths of the swamp, where the so-called "Sin City" is located.

"It seems that the decision to wait a few more days is not wrong. Liu Li happened to hear the innkeeper talking to a caravan steward, and this caravan was about to go to Sin City. It has been more than ten days since he came to the Iron Wall Outpost. And since returning to the sentry post alone with his trophies that day, Liu Li has also gained a certain reputation here. After all, he has been operating as a mercenary these days, and the mercenaries who can hunt swamp crocodiles alone are also only a handful of them in the entire Iron Arm Outpost. Not to mention that Liu Li is still so young, which makes the people living here evaluate him a few points higher.

"Boss, there's a young man who wants to talk to you. "The westernmost room on the second floor of the inn belonged to the caravan steward who had spoken to the boss before. At this moment, one of the guards knocked on his door and said what he meant. And the young man in his mouth is Liu Li, who wants to use the guise of a caravan to go deep into the swamp and enter the sin city.

"Young man, let him in. "The owner of the caravan is not unwary, and the merchants who are away from home, who are too vigilant, have already paid the price, or have changed their ways, or have never had the opportunity to change their ways. And Eve, who already has a second-order martial arts cultivation, is not worried about the danger that the Iron Arm Sentry will encounter, first, because he has good strength, and in the perception of ordinary people, he can be regarded as a high-end military officer, and secondly, he is at ease with the security situation in the Iron Wall Sentry. Although this place can be called a neighbor with Sin City, even the "sinners" who sneak here in Sin City know the truth of being a man with their tails between their legs. Their exile here also means that there is no place for them elsewhere.

"Hello, Lady Eve. Although he happened to hear the other party talking to the innkeeper just now, Liu Li didn't expect that the steward who was about to lead the caravan into Sin City was actually such a graceful woman that he couldn't hear it from his slightly hoarse voice. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Liu Li, I am a mercenary, and I am also well-known here at the Iron Wall Sentry. I need to go to Sin City for some things recently, can I go with your caravan?" Speaking of this, Liu Li paused, "Of course, I can also do my part to protect the caravan along the way, I think I am still familiar with this swamp." ”

Liu Li didn't do much temptation, but directly explained his intention. For more than ten days, in the iron wall sentry, Liu Li also has his own fame. At first, of course, it was not a good evaluation, and there were many expressions such as "whimsical boy" and "kid who couldn't help himself". There is no way, who made Liu Li look young, and at the same time insisted on acting alone. In the days when he first arrived here, it was not that no one invited Liu Li to join the mercenary team, but in order to get familiar with the feeling of acting alone in the swamp area, Liu Li refused all these invitations, and there were many refusals, and that kind of slightly malicious statement naturally arose. But the fact is that he slapped those people hard in the face, Liu Li not only returned safely every day, but the increasingly valuable loot in his hands proved that he was gradually advancing deeper into the swamp, until that day he brought back the swamp crocodile as a trophy, and all the negative comments were swept away, followed by a tide of admiration. The world of mercenaries is not complicated, they admire capable people, and this admiration is so obvious, Liu Li has gradually learned this when he was in Casfield City.

Eve's caravan had been at the Iron Wall Sentry for two or three days, and it was natural that she had heard rumors about this amazing boy. There was no way, there were no entertainment facilities in the Iron Wall Sentry, and the caravan guards could only pass the time in the tavern, and even she, the caravan steward, could not lock herself in the inn room all day, and the tavern in the town was also the only place for her to pass the time.

"Hehe, it's okay to take you on a trip to Sin City. Eve looked at the mercenary in front of her with interest, who could only be called a "teenager", "But for the sake of the safety of the caravan, can you tell me your purpose?" In fact, Eve does have the intention of recruiting some mercenaries to accompany her, this time the road to the Iron Wall Sentry was not so peaceful, and the caravan's guards were damaged a lot in the battle with a group of bandits, which is why she decided to stay at the Iron Arm Sentry for a few days. Originally, according to her plan, she planned to hire a team of mercenaries directly, but she didn't care about bringing one more person, let alone the young spearman who had become more famous here recently. Of course, the questions she asked before were not all for the safety of the caravan, and as far as she was concerned, she also had a strong curiosity about this young boy.

"Just go there and find someone, it won't cause any trouble for your caravan. Eve listened to Liu Li's answer, and at the same time looked at the young man in front of her. Just like the rumors in the tavern, maybe even younger than the rumors say. The leather armor he was wearing looked new, probably made of the skin of the swamp crocodile he had brought back in the rumors he had heard before, and the spear he was carrying behind him also looked very heavy, I don't know how this young man could have so much strength.

The tavern is indeed a good place to learn about the news, and Liu Li often went there to stay there for a while to see if there was any new news about Sin City, which could facilitate his next actions. But these days, however, I've been so busy looking for a suitable weapon that I don't have time to go to a tavern to pass the time.

"Yanhui" was completely destroyed in the battle with the swamp crocodile, which made Liu Li very helpless, and it was not easy to find another weapon that was so handy. Fortunately, at the Iron Arm Outpost, an outpost built to deal with the threat of demonic beasts in the swamp, there are still quite a few shops selling weapons. However, Liu Li has just found a more convenient weapon today, no way, the spear is not a particularly common weapon compared to the sword, and Liu Li's requirements for the weight of the weapon are far beyond ordinary people, so it is naturally not so easy to find a replacement for "Yanhui".

"Looking for someone?" Eve pondered for a moment, "it's not impossible, but my caravan will stay in Sin City for a maximum of three days, and if you don't find the person you're looking for by then, I won't delay the caravan's journey for you." ”

Liu Li was not surprised by Eve's decision. He knew that he had indeed gained some fame at the Iron Wall Sentry recently, and that the incident of hunting the swamp crocodile alone had given him a lot of points in the mercenary evaluation, but he did not think too highly that the businesswoman in front of him would be more helpful to him. For her, she was just a stranger she met by chance, and perhaps out of curiosity she could make things easier for herself, but it was completely impossible for her actions to disrupt her previous plans.

"Well, since you agree, it's not a problem to take you there. Seeing that Liu Li did not object to his decision, Eve's evaluation of Liu Li also increased by a few points, at least he did not achieve a little like most young people. "Come with me, they should have already gone downstairs to meet your companion this time. ”

Liu Li, who followed Eve to the downstairs of the hotel, unexpectedly saw a few acquaintances. As a spell caster, Liu Li's memory is naturally good, and looking at the bearded man with a two-handed sword in front of him, Liu Li couldn't help but be stunned. It seems that the mercenary group hired by Eve here should be the "gray corner". And this bearded man is his "acquaintance", the guy who once fought with him because of Heng's relationship, "I remember that the name seems to be ...... Penetrate. Liu Li muttered secretly.

"Hey, Liu Li, it's really you. Seeing Liu Li, Che did not hate him because of the initial failure, but greeted him with joy on his face, of course, it was indeed not easy to distinguish his expression through his thick beard. "In the past two days, I heard rumors mentioning that the young spear soldier with great strength was mentioned and I was guessing if it was you, but I didn't expect it to really make me guess, how did you think of coming here to beg for a living? Don't follow Powell? Why don't you just come to our 'gray corner', with your strength is enough to be the squad leader." ”

Naturally, he didn't know Liu Li's identity as a spellcaster, and it was impossible to think that Liu Li actually came to the swamp area with a mission this time. However, even if the previous relationship was not very harmonious, Liu Li still felt very happy after seeing his acquaintances, especially when he heard what Che said, not only did he not take the small contradiction to heart at all, but there was a trace of concern in his words. Liu Li only learned from listening to the conversations of other people in the "Gray Corner" that Che had been out to work as a mercenary for many years and had not returned home, and most of the money he earned was sent home to subsidize his family. And in the north of the empire, in his hometown, his parents lived with his younger brother, who was much younger than him. In the tavern of the post town, Liu Li's fearless attitude towards him reminded him of the stubborn boy far away from home. What's more, in the original battle, it was he who lost, which made Liu Li's senses much better.

Liu Li didn't say anything to ask why the "Gray Corner" mercenary group came here, it didn't matter to him. However, this trip was accompanied by "acquaintances", and Liu Li was still very happy.
