Walking at the edge of the elven forest, the danger is not as great as imagined, at least, the adventurer is still safe to enter the forest within thirty steps, at this distance, the adventurer can see the sunlight outside through the dense forest, and can exit the dense forest at any time. Only travelers who have actually entered the Elven Forest know that the Elven Forest is not a forbidden place protected by unleashed magic, and that all the companions who have lost their sights in the forest are only for one reason: they have gone so deep into the forest that not only can they not see their companions, but they can't even find the right direction.

Some adventurers had tried to create a fixed path in the forest by cutting down trees, which would immediately attract short green arrows of warning from the depths of the forest.

The eight adventurers are not beginners, and they are quite clear about the principles that must be followed in the Elven Forest, and they do not need to be tongue-in-command, and they travel very fast. The middle-aged magician was secretly glad that he had picked the right person this time, and if he could complete the task, he might as well send some more money to his new partner, hoping that he could cooperate again in the future.

It was getting dark, and although he was walking on the edge of the forest, the sun had set earlier than in the city, and the middle-aged magician announced the start of camp.

Several warriors did not dare to cut down the trees, but got a lot of wood from the dead trunks on the outside, poured some sesame oil on the bonfire, and rushed to the sky.

The only woman set up a pot over the fire and chopped the dried meat suitable for soup and stewed it in water. Soon, everyone smelled the lingering aroma.

The mercenaries each served a bowl of broth, and while eating the bread in their hands, they took the opportunity to get acquainted with each other.

"Head, what is our mission this time? The price you gave this time is really good, hehe, where we can marry a wife for four gold coins, and two wives for eight gold coins." The other warrior, who had just become a partner, asked, and unlike most of them, this deep-eyed warrior wielded a scimitar with a large arc.

The middle-aged magician had a mysterious smile on his face: "Someone has commissioned you to get some children under the age of twenty in the elven village, the more the better." ”

For elves, children under the age of twenty are roughly equivalent to human children under the age of three, and most of them are still learning to walk.

The magician, one of the new partners, was so frightened that the bowl in his hand shook for a moment, and the soup water spilled all over his body: "Why didn't you say it earlier? I'm going to quit!"

The magician was a little annoyed: "Go deep into the elven forest and rob the elven baby? What are you kidding? The elves will agree? With the strength of a few of us, not even a rabbit in this forest is as good as that." We're just looking for death. "The magician is telling the truth.

"Don't ...... Other...... Don't get excited. The middle-aged magician smiled and said, "I just want to see if there is any other way to get it without force." For example, I want to buy or ......"

"Your Excellency, you're not trying to steal, are you?" asked the Magister on the side, squinting his eyes.

"This ...... In short, first, I hope that it will not hurt my peace, and second, I hope that it can be completed. Each child gave us 200 gold coins, and if we could finish it, I promised to give you another five gold coins for each additional one. ”

Money is hard to earn...... This is a heavenly principle that almost everyone knows. In the underground mercenary guild, even a good hand rarely earns more than thirty gold coins a month. Moreover, human life is not worth anything here, and for five gold coins, there will be a whole bunch of outlaws who will kill people and set fires.

Each of the five gold coins added a new layer of temptation, and several new companions were silent.

"I think there will always be elves who have more children, and the mission says that the employer hopes to adopt a few elf children, not only to ensure safety, but also to promise that the child can go home to visit his biological parents in the future. The middle-aged magician also wants to explain it in order to increase the sense of security of the new partner.

"You'd better dispel such thoughts. ”

The Magister said coldly, "With the kindness of the elves, it is impossible to give up your children, and besides, you don't have to trust them that they will not be able to raise children, in the elven forest, every time a child is born, a banana tree will be planted in front of the door, and the children can be raised only by the bananas." Stealing, or kidnapping, may be your only recourse...... It's strange how you can get a mission of this nature in the tavern?"

"Try it!" The middle-aged magician sighed, "We try not to clash with the elves, I don't believe that there are no orphans or anything in the elven forest." ”

"Sir, you seem to be familiar with the Elven Forest. The woman hidden in the darkness asked in a low voice, this woman was the best at night activities, and was good at using a short sword or dagger.

"Oh...... I used to work as a guard in the library of the Duchy of Bavaria, and I used to flip through books at night, and I read a lot of things, and I knew a lot about the useful and useless. ”

The magic master said naturally, and Xue Wuji, who had been listening quietly on the side, was still confused, what was the situation? The magic demon didn't say a word to let himself join this mercenary group, and didn't let himself ask, what kind of medicine was he selling in his gourd?

"Little brother, I would like to ask you something. The youngest warrior in the team looked at Xue Wuxian and said, "At noon today, that young man in white has a very high force, how could you save White in an instant?"

"It's not surprising. The moment he entered the tavern, I noticed him, and when he stabbed his spear, the wind was not small, but it was not difficult. Xue Wuxian explained, and there was no joy in his words.

"Oh......" Several warriors were moved: "Why? ”

"Martial artists at different stages have their own different momentum, and the momentum of that white-clothed warrior can already threaten me, so I have been silently observing...... You'll find out in a little while. If I really do it, I don't think I can beat him, his gun is too powerful. ”

After a pause, Xue Wuxian added a few more words: "I've also seen a stronger person, don't say you can do it, you can't stand in front of him." Seeing that the magic beast beside him had no intention of stopping, Xue Wuxian said honestly.

"What is stage and momentum? How do I not know?"

"Little brother, what kind of gun did he use? I've never seen it in the army. Former Imperial Knight White asked curiously.

"I haven't seen it either. ”

The snow can already feel the raindrops starting to fall from the sky - in the tropics, the so-called rain is when the humidity in the air reaches 100% and then condenses into droplets.
