Chapter 43: The Adventure Squad

On the streets of Shariz City, a short, obscene figure was quietly approaching the target, the blade in his hand slowly approaching the pocket, and then a hand like an iron hoop appeared from the side. Howard held the thief's hand in one hand and his face in the other, and he began to wonder if it was a mistake to team up with the angry guy in front of him.

"Damn Howard, if you ruin my good deeds, I'll pill your food, tickle powder on the bed, and four-legged snakes in your shoes, don't think I'm afraid of you if I can't beat you." The little man jumped up and down trying to get rid of that hand, but it looked like it was a wasted effort.

"Friesen, stop making a fuss, gather quickly. I brought a reinforcement today, and the mission is over. I warn you, don't stretch your hand too long, your little life will be thrown on it sooner or later. "Howard has a lot of headaches for this temporary teammate.

As far as adventurers are concerned, Freesson's technical skills are superb, and he is the most skilled treasure hunter in the vicinity, whether it is an intricate lock or a hidden trap. However, the master thief, known as Friesen, prefers to take his friend's wallet without knowing it. Oh, forgot to say, everyone who gave him the dinar was his friend.

"Hey, there's no one around here who is better than Uncle Friesen, do you need me to test his condition?" Frieson finally withdrew his hand, and his bone-shrinking kung fu made him slippery, and he didn't know what would become of his short body if he shrank any further. A master thief is not easy to mess with, even in the face of a heavily armed warrior, as long as the opponent is not careful, the quenched dagger will make him understand what it means to live rather than die.

"Don't ask, you'll see for yourself in a little while. Is the rest of the party almost there? Howard was clearly confident in his upcoming accomplices, and didn't take the thief's gimmicks seriously. Seeing that the meeting place was the tavern inn in front of him, he hurriedly asked his teammates next to him.

"The big guy and hooknose haven't arrived yet, the others have all arrived." Friesen sniffed the neighborhood and realized that he wasn't the last in his group.

"The big guy drank the whole barrel of ale last night, and he was still humming in bed, and his hooked nose was always late, didn't he understand that he and that girl were impossible?" Hearing that his teammates were basically there, Howard breathed a sigh of relief, he specially instructed them last night, but fortunately he didn't treat his words as a fart.

When the two entered the tavern, they saw that their other teammates had occupied a table and were recruited by them.

Although Howard's six-member team was recruited temporarily, everyone on the team had their own set of unique skills.

Half a month ago, the old mercenary one-eyed harvested a map of the ruins, and felt that he might not be able to do it alone, so he found Howard, a powerful newcomer in the industry who had partnered with him before. Howard, who received the invitation, readily agreed, and began to gather the team with One-Eye, and the big one, hooknose, frison, and scissors joined one after another. It's still not safe to have just six people, but trusted teammates aren't something to be found anytime soon, and Howard offered to give himself a try.

Everyone took their seats, and the old one-eyed began to entertain the bartender to drink, this old mercenary has a high reputation in the industry, and is the best choice for the captain, although the profession is a sword, shield and crossbow mercenary on the bad street, but the strength and experience accumulated in more than ten years of mercenary career are not comparable to everyone at all.

The hooked nose has not yet arrived, and although this handsome ranger who has gone to the nose claims to be a lover saint by profession, every time he picks up a fight, he is lame. However, this guy is a natural optimist and has never given up pursuing his other half. Judging from his attire and speech habits, Howard judged that this teammate who did not want to be named was from an aristocratic background, but he didn't know which family's second son came out to experience.

"When will any of your friends arrive?" Scissors carelessly trimmed her nails with a small pair of silver scissors, this female mercenary is a female swordsman by profession, but anyone who only pays attention to the sword in her hand will make a hole in his throat with a flying knife. It is said that she used scissors to destroy a mercenary who tried to rape her, and then stripped the mercenary of his equipment and put it on herself, and since then she has embarked on the path of a mercenary.

"It's almost there, and his place is not far from Sharitz." Howard always felt a chill in his crotch in front of the scissors. "Is the big one okay?"

One-Eye shrugged. The big one is a well-known shield-armored warrior who was drinking with Friesen yesterday, and was miserable by the treacherous thieves, and was finally carried to the room by everyone and put on the dead.

"I'm not late, am I? Ms. Sophia made me lose track of time. Ah, scissors, you should learn to dress like a lady. "Hooked nose swaggered through the city with a longbow on his back, and the ghost knew that this kid was good at long-range attacks.

Scissors rolled her eyes, and she was harassed by this "love saint" these days.

There was the sound of horses' hooves outside the tavern, and Friesen muttered about which nobleman had arrived in the city of Sharez.

"Here we are." Howard stood up and said to a few of his teammates. Hearing this, everyone looked at the door of the tavern, and as soon as the words fell, a group of people broke through the door of the tavern and rushed in.

One-eyed widened his only eye, and his mouth swelled wide. Among the people who entered, he was headed by a lord who was heavily armed with a noble knight and a red cross insignia painted on his chest. The lord was followed by a number of guards dressed similarly, as well as a man dressed entirely in white with a red cross also marked on the back of his robe.

The people of Shariz knew that the man in white was the famous Doctor of Lorraine, and the identity of the leader was about to be revealed.

"Lord Reed!?" All the team members, except for Howard, exclaimed. The noble lords and their lives are almost completely different from the same world, and no one expected that Howard's friend would be the current hot noble.

Hooknose saw the young face and unconsciously stepped back.

Hu Bin rushed to Shariz before lunch, and after some introductions to each other, Hu Bin officially joined the adventure team. Looking at the adventurers sitting around who still looked incredulous, I secretly laughed in my heart that Howard was not at ease.

Suddenly, a strong man walked up to their table and tried to pick up a piece of roast meat, and Ted, who was next to him, immediately grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him up.

"Anyone who dares to grab food should be damned." Ted said in a deep voice.

Howard immediately explained to the man, saying that the man was a companion on this mission, and he was fully aware of the strength of Hu Bin's followers.

As the big one woke up, the adventurer squad arrived. One-Eye asked for the map in Howard's hand, opened it without hesitation, and began to tell the relevant information he had obtained.

"According to the graphic and ancient text on the map, this ruin is located outside the Sultanate of Saland, in the middle of the desert in the south, and we need to prepare for resupply. It also records that the ruins are an ancient mausoleum area, and the most precious of them is this treasure called the golden coffin. One-eyed slowly told him what he knew, and he had paid a lot of money for a scholar to translate it for him.

"Hey, we're going to rob the grave, I like the idea." The thief Friesen was pleasantly surprised to say that it was within his old line.

"It's a lot trickier than you think." Hu Bin took over the conversation, "I sent someone to check the family records yesterday, and I only mentioned that it was a royal tomb of an ancient empire, and someone had explored it, but without exception, no one came back alive. ”

The old one-eyed frowned suddenly, originally thought it was an ordinary tomb of an ancient nobleman, but he didn't expect to involve the royal family of the ancient empire.

Hu Bin ignored the thoughts of others and began to take stock of the strength of the team. Of course, he and his entourage are strong, and in addition, Hu Bin also brought 3 freelancers and 2 Eyes of Death. The teammates who can get the approval of Howard are obviously not mediocre, and the team has a total of 16 members, but it is a pity that Howard's two marksman retinues were sent to Svadia by him to make money.

Adventurers are never too bold, and everyone only worries for a moment before deciding to give it a try. So Hu Bin and his group brought enough food and water for a month to the market in Sharitz, and while the sky was still bright, they drove out of the city gate and slowly went deeper into the great desert in the south.
