Chapter 175: The Mysterious Murderer
"Animals? Unlikely. Maya disagrees with Feleg's inference, what kind of animal can escape the eyes of the Magister?
"Cognition. Feleg shook his head, his reasoning wavering.
All the way up to the top of the hill, a camp was found again, and there were more corpses in it, there were twelve of them, and the badge on their chests should be the same as the two corpses below.
"It seems that the camp below is their outpost, but unfortunately the result is the same. Feleg shook his head and said, being able to kill people silently and invisibly, this kind of killer is really terrifying.
"Then let's ......" Maya was a little worried, she was not afraid of fighting the enemy head-on, even if the other party was a martial god, she had the courage to raise a sword, but in the face of an invisible enemy, anyone would be worried.
"Living here, I want to see what's going on. Feleg said more firmly, he must not back down, isn't this the purpose of the magician's travels?
The two of them set up a tent on the other side of the mountain, although the mountain is not high, the area of the top of the mountain is not small, at least so that they don't have to smell the stench of the corpse.
There are not many trees on the mountain, it is overgrown with shrubs, and most of the place is knee-deep weeds. There were fewer animals, and the two of them only saw a few pheasants and hares and other animals along the way, and they never saw a single large creature.
As soon as the camp was settled, Feleg and Maya turned north almost at the same time, Feleg took out his staff, and Maya took out her short broadsword.
After a while, a group of warriors in armor walked up to the top of the hill, saw Feleg and the two men, looked surprised, and then lined up in a defensive formation. Seeing the magic robe on Feleg's body made them dare not act rashly.
One person stepped out of the group, clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Hello respected magician, we are Johnny Otis, the leader of the Mayan Empire's Tempest Mercenary Regiment, a rank 12 warrior. A few days ago, a team of mercenaries I sent out lost contact here, so I'm here to check it out. ”
Not bad, well-behaved, polite and courteous, Feleg likes such people.
Feleg nodded: "I am Feleg, the magician of the Auckland Empire, this is my partner Maya, and she is also Maya. "Since it's Maya's compatriots, it seems that there is no need to be nervous, and it is normal for the mercenary group to come here, this is a pure gold mine, although it has been abandoned for many years, but the pure gold mine is equal to a large amount of gold coins, and the mercenary group earns death money.
Seeing that there are their compatriots here, the other party relaxes, there is really no need to fight here, the mainland war time, everyone is an ally, not to mention that there are also their own people. As for who can find the Adamantite ore here, it's up to each individual.
"Feleg, are you the former commander of the Oakland Imperial Hurricane Division, Wizard Feleg?" Johnny asked in surprise.
Feleg was even more surprised than him, was he so famous? Johnny knew about the Hurricane Division, so it was impossible to recognize the wrong person. But in the continental war, there were thousands of legions, and the small Hurricane Division, a mercenary regiment commander actually knew.
"That's right, it's me, how do you know mine?" asked Feleg.
"Magician Feleg, you may not know it, but now you are very famous in the entire Eastern Continent. Johnny said with a smile, much more affectionate, no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.
"Oh?" "I don't seem to have done anything worthy of fame on the mainland, even in the Auckland Empire, only the strong know their names.
"Because of the magic weapons you and Legion Leader Leah brought back, each country has been given a little bit, and they have begun to explore the magic crystal ore in a large area. ”
That's true, but how do the people of the Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group not know about themselves?
"When did it start?" Feleg continued.
The smile on Johnny's face was a little ugly, did the hero in his mind care so much about his reputation? In his impression, the magician didn't care about this at all.
"A year ago, it was a year ago, and you and Commander Lea may not care about fame, but in order to inspire the soldiers on the front, the deeds of the heroes who appeared in the war were collected and compiled into books, and troubadours were invited to sing them widely. Johnny's eyes changed a little when he looked at Feleg, it turned out that heroes also love vanity.
Maya said with a smile: "The Blood Piercing Mercenary Group must have come out early to prospect for ore, so I didn't know about you." ”
Johnny didn't know what the two were talking about, he had heard of the Blood Piercing Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary group in the Wind God Empire, ranked fifth among the mercenary groups in the Eastern Continent, with more than 6,000 people, and it was a super large mercenary group.
"Magician Feleg, Miss Maya, when did you two come, did you see the people of our mercenary group?" Although he is not ashamed of Feleg's character, his respect for the magician cannot be reduced slightly, otherwise there will be big trouble, and the magicians are very arrogant people.
Feleg pointed to the camp not far away and said, "There is a small camp here, and twelve bodies have been found in it, which have been buried.
In the distance, there is an even smaller camp with two corpses in it, and they haven't come yet, maybe they're the ones you're looking for. ”
In fact, Feleg has already seen from their badges, fourteen corpses, all of them are members of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, and their badges are the same. When he saw the badge on the corpse, Feleg didn't recognize it, but now he naturally knew.
"Thank you, respected magician. Johnny couldn't figure it out, how could a person who cared so much about his false name be able to bury the corpse of a mercenary he had never seen before?
Send people to the mountainside to collect the corpses and reorganize the camp. Johnny and his party have thirty-six people, plus the twelve who died, in the mercenary world, it is already a medium-sized mercenary group, and many mercenary groups have less than ten people.
After packing up everything, Johnny personally came to invite the two of them, they had already seen the corpses, and they could not see the cause of death either. In this respect, they are far more experienced than the two Felegs.
Don't look at the number of people now, but God knows what will happen here, and it is good to be able to have a good relationship with a magician, even if he is a little weird. Mercenaries make money by taking risks, but it doesn't mean that they are not afraid of death.
There are not many people in the Tempest Mercenary Group, but the skills of survival in the wild are very good, and the barbecue is extremely authentic. According to mercenary tradition, six bonfires were lit outside the camp, with the largest and busiest fire in the center of the camp.
"Magician Feleg, do you see what is killing someone?" The dense small wound, at a glance, knew that it was not man-made, and there was no weapon that would cause such damage.
"I can't see it. Feleg shook his head.
"And how long have you two been here?" Johnny asked, having a magician by his side, he felt a lot more at ease, and as for the other, it was just a girl, and it was not easy to have the courage to come here, and he simply ignored Maya.
Johnny's careful thinking naturally couldn't escape Feleg's eyes, and after glancing at Johnny's people, he found that there were no masters among these samurai, and the worst ones were only about three or four levels, so they could only be said to be relatively strong soldiers. Johnny is the strongest, and under him, there are two people who should be able to pass level ten, and with such strength, it is really fatal to think of making death money here.
"We are here to investigate the murderer, the time is not fixed, and I don't know if we can find out. ”
"Great, we're going to stay here for a while, and we're going to ask you to take care of you in the future. Johnny breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party also came to find the Adamantite Mine, he was afraid that he would not be able to pay attention to the Tempest Mercenary Group.
Through previous experience, no one has died here for the strong, and it seems that the murderer can also tell the strength of a person's ability. Since they're here to investigate the murderer, when something happens to the Tempest Mercenary Group, they can't just watch it.
The two camps were only thirty meters away, and Feleg and Maya sat opposite each other in a tent. At the door of the tent, a bonfire was raised, which was far less lively than the camp of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, and it seemed very quiet. But in Johnny's eyes, this small tent is far safer than the camp of the mercenary group.
In order to be prepared, the Tempest Mercenary Group takes turns to rest, and there is always half of the manpower in the small camp to check. The sun wheel slowly rose, and it was a long night for the mercenaries, but fortunately nothing happened.
Adamantite ore is not difficult to find, and everyone knows the address. The Qilihe Pure Gold Mine is a rich mine, with four mines, and there is a large amount of pure gold in it, which is said to be getting less and less now, and I don't know if it has been mined out. Adamantite ore can occasionally be found on the hillside outside the mine.
The number of the Tempest Mercenary Group is not large, and the ability is not strong, but it is very bold, first sending two people into the mine, and then half of them are divided to search for ore all over the mountain.
Feleg and Maya circled the hill, and this time Maya's luck came, and she actually found a basin-sized piece of adamantite ore in a pile of stones.
Adamantite ore is completely different from iron ore, don't look at this ore is not small, but the amount of pure gold in it is not much. Adamantite has an extremely high melting point, and in order to refine it, it must be smelted with special tools. Fortunately, with Maya's strength, bring a big stone, except for some inconvenience in moving, this weight, you don't need to care about it at all, if it is not someone else on the mountain, let the bear come out and take it is the most convenient.
It wasn't until the evening that the crowd returned to the camp. The Tempest Mercenary Regiment came prepared, and the equipment was very complete. After dinner, the fine gold was melted. There was not much harvest on this day, only seven or eight small stones, and in the mine, there were not many ores, far less exaggerated than the legend suggests.
"Feleg magician, do you also find a piece? do you want us to help you melt?" Johnny finished arranging the manpower, walked to the tent of the two, looked at the ore placed at the door of the tent, very envious, but the other party was a magician, he didn't dare to fight Feleg's idea.
