Mu Qingyang grabbed the caravan owner who was counting his "loot" and asked, "Where did they get it from?" Do you still have the money to hire new people? ”

The caravan owner turned around excitedly and said, "Oh, master, you're back." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThose guys are from other caravans, and their boss is dead, so they're joining us. Anyway, it didn't cost a lot of money, and people like them just needed to eat enough every day. ”

Mu Qingyang suddenly noticed that some of those people had gray hair, their faces were as old as tree bark, and their expressions were as numb as stiffness. I couldn't help but say to myself, "Could it be that they live like this?" It's not going to be like this for the rest of your life, is it? ”

The caravan boss said disapprovingly, "That's okay." Some lords send the surplus population of their territory deep into the mountains every year. It is said that it is to eliminate jackal thieves and little devils, but in fact, it is to clean up the unstable elements in the territory, and by the way, send some rations to those little devils and jackals. It is estimated that these few people are also peasants who were driven out of the territory by the lord, and they are already alive and well so far. Alas~~ There's no way, people like them can be a full ghost in this life, even if they are grateful to the gods, if they can still dress warm and sleep well, it will be lucky. What else can be hoped for? ”

Mu Qingyang shook his head lightly, and asked instead, "When are we leaving?" "He's in a hurry to get away from those strange people right now.

After a long yawn, the caravan owner said with a little tiredness, "Although everyone is tired, let's leave today." Who knows if the defeated armies will come back and loot? Also, you need to pay special attention to the previous journey, the crystal mine is not far from the trade road, and God knows if you will encounter soldiers. Hehe, but it doesn't matter if you meet it, your slave girl is really strong. Hehehe. ”

As soon as Mu Qingyang saw his obscene appearance, he knew what he was thinking. It's a pity that Sofina didn't help herself in any way, either physically or mentally. To put it bluntly, she is not qualified to double cultivate with herself at all now! Although he was born in a side-door, he will not be obsessed with lust and indulgence, and waste energy and time. He just smiled, turned around and packed his things, and set off with the caravan.

……

……

A day later, in the wooded jungle, a dozen or so people were walking listlessly on horses.

"We're lost! We're lost! The fourth-order mage kept sighing with a dejected face, which annoyed the people next to him.

The other mage finally couldn't help it anymore and snorted coldly, "Did you say enough? You were the one who encouraged us to kill the black dragon, and you heard the roar of the black dragon in the distance in the village, and it was you who urged us to follow. It's good now, completely lost in the mountains and forests. What's the use of you shouting around? Find a way to get us out! If the delay is too long, the boss of our caravan will withhold my mercenary money!" I'll look for you then! ”

The rest of the people also chimed in and shouted, as if this mage had become a sinner for the ages, and everyone was scolded for it.

The mage was silent, his look so pitiful that everyone soon couldn't bear to talk about him anymore. Everyone knew that his frustration was not due to being scolded, but to the loss of hope, the loss of the opportunity to become famous, and even the loss of the ability to make a living on this trade route—the black dragon seemed to have flown away, and when he recovered, he would launch a mad revenge! It would be stupid to stay on this trade road. And those two naïve teenagers didn't realize it yet, they really thought that the victory the day before yesterday was because of their own strength, not because of the enemy's carelessness. They even began to comfort the mage, completely oblivious to the slight sympathy and occasional whispers of the crowd.

Suddenly, out of the mist of the sparse jungle came a tired army with torn armor and a frightened expression. Their team unfurls the flags of several caveman levels. The nine men here were overjoyed and immediately ran over to meet them. Unexpectedly, this small army had heard about the defeat of the black dragon by the two young men the night before! A middle-aged knight in the lead approached the young warrior and mage with great enthusiasm, his dusty face was full of strange surprise, and he gushed endlessly: "The two young heroes are the two who defeated the black dragon the night before?" It's so nice and what an honor! I simply don't know how to express my excitement. Well, it's really the same as the young hero I imagined, everyone sees, as long as the two of them stand in the crowd, they immediately show a different temperament. I dare say that even if there are two golden figures made of pure gold, there will definitely be no two conspicuous people here! Salute the two young heroes! So the army of two hundred people actually came up and lined up to salute the two children who had not grown their hair.

The lost mage, who had been forgotten aside, was suddenly unconvinced: in addition to being lucky and getting a few pieces of good equipment, what other skills did these two teenagers have? To have no brains, to see without knowledge! If it weren't for their slow luck, they might have caught the black dragon a long time ago and made a great contribution. Look at their fluttering appearance now, it's really a hairy kid who can't do anything more, hum! Let's see how long you can see! Thinking of this, he couldn't bear the knight's endless fleshy praise, and interrupted him: "May I ask the respected knight, why are you here?" As far as I know, aren't you at war with the robbers? ”

The knight reluctantly ended his and slowly put the events of the past two days together. It turned out that their castle had also encountered a sneak attack by a large number of jackals and demon thieves the night before yesterday, but fortunately, they commanded it properly and quickly stabilized their position. Temporarily retreated the rabble. And the dwarven kingdom on the opposite side was not so lucky, they suddenly had chaos inside, and the entire army scattered and fled, completely collapsed! It seems that the battle was won by the castle at a terrible cost, but the ending was not good at all; First of all, a large number of jackal thieves scattered in the mountains and forests did not know what was going on, and all of them came to harass the remaining troglodyte army. It was not easy for the lord to repel their uncoordinated attacks, and after a few uncoordinated attacks, he rushed out of their team to clean up the battlefield. As a result, when they dragged their tired bodies that had been fighting for several days in a row, they barely "ran" to the crystal mine, only to find that it had been occupied by a large group of little demons! These cowards suddenly changed their temper and killed them without saying a word. Originally, these short bodies and poor martial arts skills were not the opponents of the regular army, but these people were so tired that many of them didn't even close their eyes for two days. Now everyone has no intention of fighting, and they will collapse at the first touch, and they will escape for their lives in the hills and trees in embarrassment, until they meet this "dragon slayer" team.

Still unconvinced, the fourth-order mage asked, "Then how did you know about our dragon slaying?" He deliberately used "we" to get some kind of mental balance. The knight smiled and turned to the young warrior and said, "The names of the two have long been spread among the caravans, and they have been praising their bravery and heroism everywhere since they set out yesterday morning. It is estimated that in two months, you will become the dream lovers of countless princesses and ladies...... Hahahaha! ”

The fourth-order mage finally couldn't stand his clever and sensual compliments, so he interrupted: "Ahem~~cough~~ Forgive me for taking the liberty of chasing the black dragon, we got lost in this mountain forest for a day. Now I hope to get back sooner. If nothing else, can you take us out? ”

The knight's eyes were still firmly fixed on the samurai and the little mage, and he waved at him casually like a big man and said, "No problem, we are still familiar with this area." However, I suggest that you don't rush back in a hurry, there is still a very important righteous thing waiting for you. "When he said the latter, he completely ignored the fourth-order mage. The samurai took the lead and agreed: "No problem, as long as it is a righteous act, as long as it can bring lasting order and peace to this world, we are both willing to do anything!" ”

The knight looked extremely excited, and said very respectfully: "That's right, our lord ordered us to recover a dwarven water crystal mine, but that mine was occupied by a large group of savage and despicable little demons. Because of their numbers, about three hundred, and our large army still fighting the cruel and selfish wolves, they cannot come to our aid. I'm afraid that over time, more little demons will gather in the crystal mines and take possession of our troglodytes. So~~ I want to ask the two of you to lead us to exterminate those vulgar and murderous guys! Let them know that the cavemen are awesome and dare not have cannibalism again! And as soon as our lord heard about the great deeds of the two young heroes, he immediately went to look for you, but the war was tense and he didn't have time to act. If the two of them can take the initiative to help us, the detailed lord will definitely be overjoyed, and even directly confer a title that is not low. ”

The young warrior thought about it for a moment, and the little mage next to him reminded: "With the title, you can have a territory, and with a territory, we can smoothly implement the order of love and justice." The samurai nodded, "Yes, we do." Then he turned back to the other mages and said, "Are you willing to go too?" ”

Those few people were very hesitant and didn't speak, as if they felt that joining this kind of thing to clean up the little characters was a waste of their time and spells. But the knight came to his senses, and he warmly invited them to join him: "Please go with you." This crystal mine is so important to our country that it must not be missed! If you can help us take that crystal mine, our wise lord will surely bestow a lot of wealth and honor! ”

Those few people were tempted, and some of them even exchanged their heads and whispered in a very small voice: "This is a great opportunity to enter the aristocratic class!" If we make meritorious contributions, we will at least be given a title such as a lord. ”

"What's so great about a lord? It's just an empty name. The other muttered quietly.

"But it's also an opportunity to squeeze into the upper class. And I heard that there are many wars in such a small country, and I have the opportunity to hone myself and even become famous. What is the future of running around this trade road for the rest of your life? "The power of consent is greater than the power of opposition. After much hesitation, everyone expressed their willingness to go—except for the 4th-order mage.

A low-ranking mage stepped forward and whispered to him, "Aren't you going?" This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. Haven't you always wanted that opportunity? The fourth-order mage almost smiled wryly and nodded in agreement—this is not what I want.

The knight laughed happily and hurriedly invited them to join his team, and then turned back to the crystal mine. He rode on his tired horse and secretly smug: "I was so lucky, I thought that if I lost the crystal mine, the lord and those nobles would cut off the heads of the whole family. Hehe, I didn't expect to let me bump into these characters! Not only can he easily occupy the crystal mine, but he can also send the lord who he wants. How will he reward me then? Maybe it will elevate me to be a baron? Hahaha"

The dream of many years was in front of him, and he laughed out loud. The two teenagers asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”

The middle-aged knight sighed, and hurriedly covered up: "Thinking that the two heroic young men are right next to me, I can't help but feel happy for my luck. ”

……

……

Dense grass grew on the sparsely wooded rocky plains, and the numerous jackal thieves scattered around crouched on the ground, waiting for an opportunity to attack the besieged improvised caveman camp in the center. They are numerous and murderous; The other side cowered in the camp, relying on the makeshift mound of earth and the erected wooden rafts to fend off javelins and strong bows. After two days of continuous fighting, this caveman had already worn out his armor, as if he had been hanging on rotten iron, and his expression was sluggish, as if he had not eaten for several days. It looks like it could be destroyed at any time. The situation seems to be good for the Jackal Demon Thief. However, only their leader, the Captain of the Jackal Demon Thieves under Zamth, knew that it was he who was in real crisis! These jackals and thieves seem to be numerous, full of mountains, and all of them are menacing and fierce-eyed, as if they want to eat the living. In fact, they all belonged to different tribes, and they were temporarily gathered by relying on the emblem of the master of the Zermus. When the offensive goes well, they are naturally "brave and fearless", but once they encounter a major obstacle, they will immediately make small calculations and retreat. It looked at the crimson emblem in its hand anxiously and helplessly, this flame-bright emblem was made by the master of Zamus with his own scales, and a powerful "enchanting monster" was constantly on it, and the natural black dragon breath could deter the jackal demon thieves who also belonged to the lizard class, so that he could temporarily command and concentrate these large and small tribes scattered all over the place. But this spell can only make the other party think that the wielder is their ally, and between jackals and thieves, the alliance relationship is also very fragile. No tribe would go out of their way to attack a caveman camp. It took almost a day, and some of the tribes were already showing signs of loosening. And now he can't control them, and once the siege fails, he doesn't know how the master of Zamoth will punish him. In its agitation and anger, it suddenly saw a small green figure riding a brown boar running towards it. The voice of the "favored minister" came from above: "Give me my men and horses, the crystal mine has been captured by the cavemen!" ”

I saw this guy who was good at patting horses' ass riding on the back of the boar, shouting and running in front of him in panic. Then the "pig" was unstable, and he fell to the ground, looking very funny and relieved.

Then it ran over and crawled, protecting its thighs, and cried out in mourning, "A very powerful troglodyte has captured the crystal mine and driven me and my men out!" It's horrible! They had a magic wand that could unleash infinite spells to disperse, and all the little demons who were illuminated by the colored light immediately collapsed to the ground unconscious as if they had been beaten by a stick. And then stabbed to death by their soldiers one after another, ah...... Yes...... Yes...... The blood of our little devils...... It's all over the ground, ......" (To be continued.) )
