Chapter 128: The Funny
In the process of traveling, Hao Ren learned that this young girl who looked like she was going to the end of the world alone was named Betsy, in her own words, a free mercenary.
Freedom mercenaries, a profession of armed force that travels from south to north, seem to be a very common group of people in this world, they have their own organization, but they are too loosely structured to be called "armed groups", they operate in the civil society, and they take on a job according to their ability - although Betsy doesn't say much to a stranger, Hao Ren guesses that this group of people should be involved in everything from killing people to finding cats for old ladies, depending on what the employer pays them to do.
This sounds like a very incredible profession, Hao Ren used his logic of belonging to the earth to think for a long time and didn't understand how this group of people appeared in reality, and he couldn't understand why the authorities of various countries would allow such a group to exist in the people, but Betsy appeared in front of him so vividly, he could only admit that this was a fact: probably there is some special social structure in this world that makes it possible for free mercenaries to survive. Anyway, this group of guys who are very powerful when they hear it is indeed very active all over the world.
"Don't look at me young, I'm also a second-level mercenary, and I came out to beg for a living at the age of fourteen," Betsy is a big girl, probably very confident in her own strength, plus this profession gives her a talkative mentality, she talked more after confirming that Hao Ren was not a threat, "I know 80% of the places on the Holletta side, and I have also been to the Imperial side, crossing this prairie alone, do you believe it or not?" Ha, this time I came to the grassland just to do a small task, but I didn't expect to pick up a very interesting guy...... By the way, your name is Hao Ren? I still find the name weird. It doesn't sound like a name from the Holletta side. ”
Hao Ren basically broke out in a cold sweat every fifteen minutes when he walked with Betsy for the two hours, and he realized that he was really an honest man. Quite bad at lying to someone's face within two meters of others (it's much easier to lie over the phone or other situations without meeting), and he is scared every time he talks to Becky. I'm afraid that I'll expose the face of a suspicious person and let this girl poke her with a sword - it's not enough to stab me to death, but the free tour guide I finally met is gone, and it will definitely not be so easy to find a local to fool around next time to ask for information. So now he is trying to listen and not speak, pretending to be a research-oriented talent who indulges in academics at home all day long, so that even if there are mistakes and omissions in speaking, he can be fooled with poor communication. It is true that if you say less, you will be wrong less.
"My name belongs to the ethnic minority ......," Hao Ren smiled dryly, trying to memorize the words and messages leaked from Betsy's conversation, and now he knew that the town of Rumber he was going to was a border town located in the southern part of the grassland, and that Rumbert belonged to the kingdom of Holletta. It was also Becky's hometown, and he also knew that there was a new empire on the northern side of the prairie called the Horner Empire, and that Becky knew very little about it. The two kingdoms, because they are too far apart to fight each other, are currently trying to show themselves internationally as peace-loving gentlemen - but they are also beating down all the small countries around them, so the credibility of this long-range flattering is not very high.
The above is all information leaked by Betsy's chatter all the way, Hao Ren is very curious why this girl's mouth can say so much, there seems to be nothing she doesn't know, but then I thought about it, he has a more familiar Lily than Becky, Lily and he took the bus to his new home on the way from the local food price to the American Civil War. That husky is clearly a skilled master......
"Who the hell are you?" Betsy tilted her head slightly and asked, "I've seen a lot of magicians, even the most unobtrusive ones wear hot dead man's robes all day long to show their demeanor, and I look more like a civilian traveling in your clothes." Are all your magicians dressed like this? ”
Hao Renxin said that he was really going on a trip - he had a brain pump and promised an even more brain-pumping female boss to come out of his house and travel to a primitive planet more than 800 light years away, blowing half a night of sea breeze and then falling into the dream plane, and falling from a ten-story building. It's like traveling with your life. But when he really said it, he just smiled: "That's what I like personally." You don't know where I'm from - I'm actually from the Empire. ”
Betsy herself said that she didn't know much about the country across the prairie. So pulling yourself over to the side of the Empire is the smartest way to put it. And the word "imperial people" is not nonsense in the strict sense, and the Xiling Empire is also an empire......
"Wow. Teleporting from the Empire to the savannah? Becky almost fell off her horse, "How many crystals did you smash on the teleportation array?" I don't think you're a nobleman...... You broke your family just to come to the prairie to experience landing with your face? ”
Hao Ren: "...... I don't know, I'm blind, and now my brain is very confused, don't ask too much, okay......"
"Look, I'll just say you broke your brain, and you still don't believe it," Betsy shook her head, "I'll be in charge of sending you to the border anyway, and then you'll figure out how to get back to yourself." Tsk, I'm a little worried about how you're going to get back, it's across the prairie from the Horner Empire, and you have a flying music box all over you that you can sell for money - and it's mine now. ”
Hao Ren couldn't help but be a little apologetic: the music box was destined to fool this girl, but looking at the expectant expressions on people's faces, he felt sorry in advance.
Just as Hao Ren was guessing how long it would be before he could see the border town, Betsy suddenly pulled the reins and stopped his mount, and then pulled Hao Ren to turn over and dismount: "Wait, there is a situation." ”
Before Hao Ren could understand what was going on, he was dragged off the horse by this strong girl, and he was lying on the leeward side of a hill with his neck crossed, and he moved his head vigorously: "What's wrong?" ”
"Wolves...... In the battle for turf," Betsy lowered her voice and stepped aside sensibly with some gesture, "let's see, maybe there is a advantage to ...... Ah, will you be a burden? ”
Hao Ren probed his head and stretched his neck to take a look, and sure enough, in the recess in the distance, he saw two groups of black giant wolves fighting, which was the kind of powerful beast unique to this dream plane.
If this situation is placed in front of ordinary people, I am afraid that anyone will have to find a way to hide far away, and the girl Betsy next to him saw that the two wolves were fighting, and she actually stopped with great interest, ready to "get cheap"?!
Hao Ren doesn't know how strong the humans in this world can be, but he has a relationship with a certain funny wolf king on the grassland, and has a general understanding of the comparison between the combat effectiveness of humans and wolves, and he knows that ordinary people are food in front of these giant wolves, so if this Betsy girl has nothing wrong with her head, it only shows one problem: this is a grotesque world with a huge disparity in strength between ordinary people and combat professionals.
It's getting weirder and weirder.
"One...... Two ...... Three ...... A lot of only ...... Many, many of them," Betsy counted the number of enemies, "well, if they strike after they have fought about the same time, you should be able to do it, and the wolves will fight for territory until you fight to the death." Hehe, this time they got rich, and the bone plates on their bodies are treasures. Eh, you're really not going to be a burden, are you? ”
Hao Ren really wants to plant himself in the grass, the girl next to her always seems to be a little paranoid in subtle places, belonging to the type of self-talk that doesn't care about other people's explanations, she still insists that Hao Ren fell out of her brain when she fell. However, Hao Ren didn't have time to argue with her too much, because his eyes were suddenly attracted by the two groups of fighting black wolves.
These two groups of black wolves have not completely melee to the peak, but the cannon fodder on both sides is fighting, a large number of wolves are still lingering on the outer edge of the depression and have not joined the battlefield, and among those wandering wolves, there is a black wolf with a broken bone plate on his waist, several black wolves grinning and showing a bad tooth, and a particularly large head wolf looks very familiar.
It's an acquaintance...... Oh no, ripe wolf! Isn't that the group of teases? (To be continued......)
