A single filament does not form a line, and a lone tree does not form a forest.

Yunlang felt that his current situation was extremely difficult, and if he didn't find a group of reliable helpers as soon as possible, he would most likely not survive to reach Shanjin Town.

Therefore, I rewarded Lixin and wanted to win people's hearts with this.

The guards had fought hard, suffered heavy casualties, and their morale was already extremely low. At this time, there was another incident of spying, and there was no doubt that it would be dealt a fierce blow again, and if we did not hurry up to make remedies, the situation of detachment from morality would inevitably become more and more serious.

At that point, he was a veritable loner.

Some of these guards make a living from it, and they don't mind serving him sincerely, and it is not difficult for him to attract their sincere allegiance as long as he behaves generously.

Of course, there are also some bastards who want to make more benefits without trying too much. They are the objects that need to be guarded against, and they are also the objects that can be used at critical times, and it is not worthless to stabilize them first.

As for those spies, there should be some more.

But he didn't know how to read minds after all, so he couldn't find them all at once. If the search continues, it will easily affect the guards who want to be truly loyal.

Therefore, after observing in secret, screening one by one is the most reliable method.

With these in-depth considerations, he thought that Vivien would be able to understand at least a little, but he didn't expect that when the two of them were alone, she would ask them one by one.

"Master, why did you choose those eight guards alone, and was there anything wrong with them?"

Yun Lang smiled faintly, did not answer directly, and encouraged: "If you think about it carefully, you should be able to understand!"

Vivian had a bitter face, looking deflated, and begged, "Master, don't embarrass Vivien anymore......"

When she was in Corrant City, she was mostly making ideas, and when her master finally decided, she was quite confident. And now, she can't even figure out what her master wants to do, and she's a little discouraged.

"Let me give you another reminder, from the perspective you are best at, you should understand why I singled out a few of them!" Yun Lang is still selling Guanzi.

Vivien thought about it seriously and said to herself, "What Vivien is best at...... It's the battle, their strength, six first-order levels, two second-order levels......"

Seeing this, Yunlang held his forehead and smiled bitterly, knowing that she was looking in the wrong direction again, so he had no choice but to be more specific.

"Look at their armor and weapons!"

Vivian was stunned, looked back at the eight people, and said truthfully: "They have complete armor, they should have just been refurbished, and their weapons are also well maintained......"

Yunlang really had no choice, so he had to take the initiative to announce the answer: "Hehe, I don't know if I'm thinking about it right...... I saw that their armor was shiny, with few mud and blood stains, and even more so their weapons, so I guessed that they must not have worked too hard when they fought with goblins, and people like this are certainly not objects to be trusted and reused, if not spies......"

"Ah...... How could Vivien not think of it....... "Vivien was ashamed.

She looked at the guards again, and saw them more clearly. Not only are their armor and weapons bloodless, but even their mental state is much stronger than that of the other guards. After a big battle, even she felt tired, let alone the guards!

"Master, why did you let them take care of that wounded goblin warrior if they can't be trusted!" Vivien found out what she couldn't figure out.

"Hehe, these people are not necessarily spies, and those who are not selected are not necessarily spies. If any of these eight people were not spies, they would definitely do their best to take care of the purple goblin for their own safety and the upcoming reward. And as long as this goblin is alive, the threat to the dark wizard is great, and the spies who belong to the dark wizard's side will inevitably make moves, and we may be able to catch some of the spies at that time. ”

"Master, you are really well thought out...... It's really amazing, Vivian didn't expect this!" Vivian was a little unhappy and felt a little dereliction of duty.

By this time, the battlefield had been cleared, and the valets had repaired their carriages and were ready to go. If it weren't for Yun Lang's sudden reminder of the corpses of those gray goblins, he would have already announced his departure.

The two of them arrive at the corpse of the greyskinned goblin, and the clouds take the time to contact the Smoke and Rain.

"Smoke and rain, near these gray goblins, are there any retrievable soul energy left?"

"Commander, near you, there are seven recoverable energy sources, 160h, 180h,...... 146h。 ”

"Sure enough.......," he muttered a little bitterly.

You know, it's been a long time, and there's still so much left. If he had collected it from the beginning, he might have 2000h of souls to come in!

At first, the range of the Smoke and Rain was too small, and the gray goblins were too far away to notice them...... In the end, it turned into a stupid thing of losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

It's a pity...... He's also really a little bit of a pain!

"Master, didn't you find anything usable?" asked Vivien with concern.

"There's still some left....... It's just a waste!" Yunlang replied truthfully.

While collecting the remaining soul energy, he asked Vivien again, "You mentioned that you are a berserker at the third order?"

"Yes! Three years ago, when Vivien was fourteen years old, she was already a third-order berserker!" Vivien was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that her master couldn't have known about things like this.

Noticing Vivien's surprised look, he suddenly felt bad and hurriedly changed the subject: "You said that you are proficient in the use of many weapons, can you use Butterfly Dance with both hands?"

When Vivian heard this, she immediately entered a state of thought, and after thinking about it carefully, she replied truthfully: "Butterfly Dance is very powerful, the shooting speed is also very fast, and the shooting distance is long, there is no need to use two, equip some more...... Magazines, maybe better!"

For those unfamiliar names, she is also trying to adapt to them.

"Oh......." Yun Lang nodded thoughtfully.

The current situation is not optimistic, and he can't become extremely powerful in a short period of time, so he can only strengthen Vivien as much as possible. And Vivien is the only one he can trust, so there is no need to keep it!

"What kind of weapons or armor would you like to equip besides Butterfly Dance?" he asked again as the two returned to the group together.

Vivien's intrigues and manipulation of people's minds are really not very good, at best they are decent. However, her talent for combat is absolutely extraordinary.

She instantly understood her master's intentions, and while she was moved, she also tried to answer cautiously: "Master, if you can...... Please reward Vivien with the dagger that the female assassin left behind. In melee combat, it can be very useful. ”

"That...... It's useless for me to keep it, as long as you like it, use it!" After a pause, it was not enough, and he asked more bluntly: "I see that you prefer to use spears, do you need me to gather for you...... Make a better handful!"

Hearing this, Vivien was really a little embarrassed......

Just now, when her master rewarded each of the guards with thirty silver coins, she even had a little vinegar...... Because she didn't give it to her, it made her feel that the master had forgotten her!

She really didn't care about the silver coin, but how much her master valued her!

But at this moment, she was completely relieved!

It turned out that her master did not ignore her at all, but wanted to reward her with the best.

Even if she didn't mention the Butterfly Dance that had surpassed her cognition, the black light dagger alone was not an ordinary product, it was likely to be a third-order high-grade magical creation, and the actual value was at least a hundred gold.

But her owner just said to her nonchalantly, "As long as you like it, use it.......

What's more, her master will continue to reward her, "must" equip her with another fine spear.......

She secretly felt that she was too greedy, and almost became a battle maid who oppressed her master....... Although this feeling is extremely beautiful and makes her heart flutter, she is a little embarrassed after all.

"If she could, Vivien wanted an arm-long soft sword, it was Vivien's best melee weapon!" Vivien mustered up her courage and spoke.

At this moment, she was a little drunk......

"Uh...... Yes!" Yun Lang agreed without hesitation.
