It was early in the morning, and looking at the horizon in the distance from the city of Daimo, a faint whiteness of the fish's belly could be seen. The sun had not yet risen, and the water vapor of the night was dissipating into the air, bringing a heavy dampness. At this turn of day and night, the whole city sleeps quietly, with only the occasional breeze blowing through the streets. Whether it is the streets that are unusually bustling during the day, or the alleys that are usually not passed by many people, they are all very quiet. Perhaps it is because of the rest of the night that they can have the appearance of the day.

In this moment of silence, most of the people in the city of Daimo should still be sleeping peacefully, but a group of people have gathered at the east gate of the city. There were about two hundred people in this group, twenty wagons, each of which had a large black box, which was so airtight that I didn't know what it contained. From time to time, these people talked to each other, talked about things they had encountered, and occasionally made a joke, but they did not move forward, as if waiting for something.

In the midst of this group stood two flags, one of which was patterned with a blazing flame that seemed to dance up and down in the breeze, and the other was a white wolf, which looked up to the sky and seemed to howl, with a different kind of majesty. This is the flag of the mercenary group, and the pattern on it is the mark of the mercenary group, and these two flags represent that the two mercenary groups are here. At this moment, under these two flags, two people are standing there quietly. One of them was wearing a gray heavy armor, his body was tall, and he stood on the ground with an incomparably calm feeling. His face, which was not yet thirty years old, was not handsome, but it had a weathered steadyness. The other man was about forty years old, and he had short blue hair that matched the dark blue armor on his body. His eyes are very deep, and he has a mature charm in them.

At this time, only the sound of a series of iron cables was heard, and the east gate, which was originally closed, slowly opened at this moment. The middle-aged man in the blue armor frowned, and said to the young man in the earth-gray armor beside him, "Davin, it's time to go now, isn't the person you said here yet?"

Devin replied calmly: "I have no contact with him, but I think since he said he would come, he would come, and there is no reason to lie to me." ”

William glanced at Davin: "Are you sure?"

"Sure", Dai Wen said quietly: "He is likely to have reached the heaven level, and this kind of strength is completely worth waiting for him to go on the road together." ”

"Well, in that case, let's wait, the strong are always privileged. William paused for a moment, and his expression became solemn: "Actually, I'm more worried about this mission. ”

Devin nodded, his expression equally serious: "I'm afraid this mission won't go well, if it's really the same as the employer said, if we only want to escort some demon cores and monster skins that they bought, it will never be possible to give us so much payment." Although it is said to be a branch of the Cole Chamber of Commerce, there must be some special reason to go to the general meeting of Oran City. After all, it's too far from Oran City, and if it weren't for something special, it wouldn't have to go so far. However, we can't ask what is special about it, after all, we are only mercenaries and do not have the right to inquire into the privacy of our employers. ”

William agreed, "Yes, I don't know what kind of enemies this thing might attract, but since I have taken on this mission, I can only carry it on." If the person you're talking about is likely to be a heaven-level person, it should be much safer. "If a mercenary takes the task and gives up, it will deduct mercenary points, and there will be a lot of deductions, so generally speaking, mercenaries will not give up the task, of course, special circumstances are different.

Dai Wen just wanted to speak, but suddenly stopped, and then he looked at a figure on the street in front of him and said, "It's finally here." ”

Listening to Devon's words, William also followed Devon's gaze. For the young man whose strength is not inferior to that of Dai Wen, he is actually very curious. There, he saw a young man who was only about sixteen years old. The man was dressed in a black robe, and his long silver hair naturally hung down to his waist. The young man's face was unusually handsome, and he could even be mistaken for a beautiful woman. His eyes were silver, and there seemed to be stars shining in them, but at this moment, there was a kind of indifference that seemed to be outside the world. On his back was a long silver sword, about the length of two arms, with only the hilt exposed. He walked slowly like this, but gave the illusion that he was walking not in the city, but in the endless desert.

When Dai Wen saw the snub star, he stepped forward and smiled: "You are finally here, since you are here, then let's go, let's talk about the specific things on the road." ”

Snub nodded and looked at William, "Is he?"

Devin replied, "The leader of the Frostwolf Mercenary Regiment, William, the Frostwolf Mercenary Regiment is also with us. ”

William also followed, saying, "You are just a snub star, Davin said that you are very strong, recommended you to join our mission, I hope you can help us with all your might." ”

Snub Star just snorted coldly. He could see that William was a cultivator in the late ninth level, and Devin was only in the middle of the ninth grade, but among the two, Devin was the leader, and obviously for William, Devin had a convincing reason for him.

Devin said: "Okay, let's hurry up, so many of us blocking here will have a great impact on the order." Take advantage of the cooler weather to try to save time. With that, he turned and walked out the door, William following him. Behind the two of them was the entire convoy and the mercenaries escorting them. The wheels of the car turned slowly, making a low sound, and moved forward unhurriedly. Next to each car, there were about ten mercenaries. After the last carriage of the Snub Star also went out of the city gate, it also walked out of the city gate. After leaving the city gate, the entire convoy turned into a formation of three carriages side by side, and next to the only carriage in the first row, it was Davin and William, two ninth-level masters. Beside them, there was a man sitting in the carriage. This person is in good shape, obviously he hasn't fought much, and his cultivation is not worth mentioning, so he should be the employer this time. The mercenaries of the two mercenary groups were scattered on both sides of the convoy to escort them, and the Snub Star was at the end of the convoy. Devin kept his promise and did not interfere with Snub Star's actions. Snub Star looked forward and found that in the middle of the convoy, there was actually a man in the late ninth level guarding. The man was dressed in black, carrying a long knife in his hand, and his powerful muscles peeking out from the corners of his clothes, obviously of great strength. He didn't wear his own armor like Devin and William, but he was still quite intimidating, and the mercenaries around him would unconsciously stay away from him.

Just as Snub Star was observing the man in black, a voice rang out beside him, "What are you looking at?" It was Sona, who also came to the back of the convoy like Snub Star. Today she still wears the same armor from the bar, the red armor fits her body perfectly, and instead of diminishing her beauty, it makes it more visible.

The snub didn't reply, and asked lightly, "Why are you here?"

Sona glanced at him: "My brother asked me to explain to you the specific situation of the mission and the action arrangement, if you want to know, you can also ask me." I don't know why, seeing the cold star's indifferent look, she couldn't help but feel anger in her heart, but she knew the severity and forcibly suppressed the anger.

Snub Xing asked directly: "Who is that man?"

Sona looked at the man in black and said, "That's someone from the Cole Chamber of Commerce, called Higgs, who is very strong, and is the presidential leader of the Cole Chamber of Commerce." ”

Snub Xing asked again, "Why is he in the middle? Is it your arrangement?"

Sona shook her head: "No, it's a request from the Cole Chamber of Commerce. ”

Snub Star pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "How many of the people in the team this time are from the Cole Chamber of Commerce?"

Sona replied, "There are about twenty of them, apart from Haggs and the fat man, and those who drive the carriages. More than half of these twenty people were in the middle of the convoy. In addition to the people of the Cole Chamber of Commerce, our two mercenary groups totaled about 180 people, 70 in the middle, 40 people at each end, another 20 people on the parade, and the rest were to reconnoiter the situation ahead. ”

In fact, this is a fairly complete formation, with Devin and William in front, which is convenient for quickly processing the information obtained from reconnaissance, and both of them are ninth-level powerhouses, so it is easy to deal with unexpected situations. Behind Snub Star and Sona, Needless to say, Snub Star's strength is also the strength of the early ninth level, and there is no problem at all to sit in the rear. There are only people from the Kohl Chamber of Commerce, and there should be some important goods in the middle, so they are all concentrated in the middle. However, while this arrangement is reasonable, it gives most of the tasks of sitting in the rear to Snub Star, which clearly shows Davin's trust in him.

"My brother found that the Cole Chamber of Commerce was very concerned about the carriages in the middle, and it was only safe that their people guarded them. So he thinks that in those carriages, there are goods that are vital to them, and the key to this mission is the goods in those carriages, and those goods may bring danger to us. ”

"The Kohl Chamber of Commerce still won't say what kind of goods they're shipping?"

"No matter how much we asked, they just wouldn't say that it wasn't against the rules of the Mercenary Guild, so we couldn't help it. ”

"Really?" Snub Star glanced at the carriages coldly, and at this moment, Sona suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Snub Star had completely seen through the secrets of those carriages. She was shocked in her heart, is this the Heavenly Level? After reaching the Heavenly Level, she can let her spiritual power be released, which can be used to explore the things around her, and it will play a vital role in the battle, this kind of feeling, is it that the Snubbing Star has released her spiritual power? It must be, otherwise she would not have such a feeling.

"Do you see anything?" asked Sona, if Snub Star saw anything, it would undoubtedly be of great help.

"There is indeed something very special," Snub Star said meaningfully, "very special." ”

"Huh?" Sona perked up, waiting for the next explanation. However, Snub Star didn't continue to speak, just looked at the rest of the team. The sky was unusually clear, with a white cloud or two drifting by from time to time, and the trees beside the road rustled with leaves rustling by the wind, and the occasional hidden bird's nest could be seen. In such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, no other mercenary felt the danger hidden in the convoy, they were simply faithfully carrying out their own tasks, because they believed in their regimental commander and were willing to entrust them with their lives.

Chapter III

After a day's progress, the convoy slowly stopped in an open area and prepared to rest. It is not suitable to advance at night, and it will be at a disadvantage when encountering thieves, so when the mercenaries are usually doing escort tasks, they will defend and rest on the spot at night.

The sun was setting little by little, and the crimson afterglow was reflected in the sky, dyeing a large cloud of red and forming a beautiful picture. The shadows of the trees on the ground were stretched out, as if there was no end in sight. The woods were completely darkened, blocking out the afterglow of the setting sun, making it look deep and mysterious. Looking at the sky, you can still see birds returning to their nests from time to time, and the sound of insects and insects can be heard from every part of the forest, and everything seems extremely peaceful.

Snub Xing looked at such a beautiful scenery, and his heart was unusually calm. Every time before nightfall, he would watch the sun set in the west, and he would not begin to cultivate until night had completely fallen. This habit was brought to him by that person, and the words that the person had said at that time still echoed in the mind of the snub star: "I want to look in the direction of my own race, look in the direction of my hometown." It's impossible for me to go back, but I want you to take my body back. Snub Xing looked at the direction of the setting sun, and secretly said in his heart: I will definitely bring you back and bury you in the land of your hometown.
