Miranda, like most people, went to a square next to the harbor and watched as the sailors and the mercenaries on the shore pulled the captured behemoth ashore. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

From afar, the giant octopus could be seen alive, but it was already dying, and the occasional swinging tentacles would be beaten with iron rods by sailors. Miranda also saw that the huge octopus's body was filled with spear-sized hooks, all of which were connected by thick ropes and tied to some fixtures.

"Listen, everyone! We, Captain Harriet, are going to give this sea monster to the civilians of Free City, but it will take the bravest of men to kill it with their own hands!" a man who looked like a captain shouted over to the crowd, "and whoever kills the octopus will have a chance to join Captain Harriet!"

As the owner of the big ship, the sturdy woman was sitting on a chair, her left leg cocked to look at the onlookers of the free city civilians. She was wearing a set of male leather armor, her silver-white medium-length hair was naturally curly, and she had a beautiful appearance but showed a look of arrogance and disdain, as if these people in front of her were nothing more than cowards.

Miranda just heard the one-eared mercenary say that this woman is a member of the funeral mercenary group, and it is rumored that the funeral mercenary group is the most mysterious mercenary group in the mercenary union. After they joined the mercenary union, they left the center of the continent and hid in the southwest of the Kingdom of Salins, and some people even saw the banner of the funeral mercenary group appear on those small islands in the southwest of the Kingdom of Salins, and they didn't know why this powerful mercenary group chose such a remote place.

The woman, Harriet, was called the captain, but she was not accompanied by any banner to show her identity, and she and her men looked more like pirates than mercenaries.

"Wait for me!" a man with a spear walked out, "My name is 'Sky Spear'!

Harriet glanced at Sky Spear, "Why don't you continue to be a gladiator?"

"Because I don't have any opponents anymore!" Sky Spear grabbed the spear and rushed at the giant octopus that was bound with most of its tentacles, intending to stab it directly into the octopus's brain!

"Wow!"

I saw that one of the octopus's front tendrils suddenly twitched and swept down the fighter, and the suction cup on the tentacle immediately sucked the opponent's lower body! The fighter hurriedly stabbed the tentacle that was sucking his lower body with a sharp spear, but the other tentacle of the giant octopus also broke free from the hook in an instant! At the same time, he threw the spear in the fighter's hand and swept away the spear! In front of everyone, he threw the fighter's entire body into his mouth and swallowed it alive!

The crowd of onlookers was so frightened that they retreated more than ten meters, and no one expected that the giant octopus, which looked like it was dying, could actually devour a sturdy man!

Harriet snorted, "Why don't you continue to be a gladiator?

The mercenaries and fishermen who were eager to try their hand were frightened by the sudden swiftness of the giant octopus, but many of them were emboldened by Harriet's disdainful face. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a few more challengers, all of whom learned the lesson of the "Sky Spear", keeping an eye on the two tentacles that had broken free of the thick rope, and the giant octopus was gradually losing its vitality due to sunlight and dehydration, and even its defense movements became slow. But even so, the challengers still couldn't get close to the octopus's brain, and none of them could use the sharp weapons in their hands to deliver a fatal blow to the giant octopus.

"A bunch of people who can't even get rid of fish! It seems that you are the animals that should be eaten by fish, not the ones who should be eaten!" said Harriet, sneering again.

Miranda was beside a mercenary who had been trying to come out and challenge the giant octopus, and she decided to help him, "Bring that salt, salt can repel the octopus's tentacles." Miranda pointed to a vendor carrying a basket of salt.

The mercenary who wanted to challenge the octopus immediately understood it and bought the basket of salt for a few silver coins. He walked out with the ladle of salt on his back and a sharp sword in one hand.

Harriet looked at the warrior, then at Miranda and then at the peddler, and she lowered her hands on her chest and walked behind the octopus.

The brave mercenary did not disappoint Miranda, and he sprinkled salt on the giant tentacles that stretched out, and the octopus's tentacles immediately retracted. The mercenary also found an opportunity to stab the octopus in the head while sprinkling salt! The octopus also spewed out a large amount of ink before dying, and the sailors and the crowd who could not dodge were all confused by the pitch-black ink.

When Miranda tried to leave, Harriet's captain found her.

"Our captain wants to meet you. ”

Harriet sat down in the chair anyway, "You just told the mercenary about the salt, right?"

Miranda nodded, "It's common sense that seafood is afraid of salt." ”

"The most despised of self-righteous men is the one who still needs the help of women," Harriet's silver-white hair is rare, "Since you solved the octopus, do you want to join me, anyway, I am short of a female deputy." ”

Miranda immediately shook her head, "I'm just a tourist businessman, I'm not interested in joining the mercenaries, thank you Captain for your kindness!"

"Oh, yes? Forget it. Harriet crossed her arms over her chest again and crossed one leg.

"I'd appreciate it if you could tell me about the outside of the sea!"

"What about the sea?"

"For example, are there other continents in the sea to the west of the continent, or are there many exotic animals in the sea over there?"

Harriet's closed eyes opened one, "I'm not a navigator, who knows!, but I heard that the navigator Hecot has come here, and he's sailing to the desert of the 'West of the World,' and you should ask that kind of person instead of me." ”

Miranda couldn't hold back her excitement when she heard the name of the object of her adoration, she had planned to make a trip to the Republic of Marveil, and now it gave her a reason to continue her expedition to the westernmost part of the continent.

Leaving Free City, Miranda immediately set off for the City of Honor, sitting in a carriage looking out over the endless desert while thinking about the night she and Avi were separated.

Miss Delia, the leader of the two-color blade mercenary group, once said that Avi and the other two young mercenaries were going to the Moon Shield mercenary group to be spies, and from that time on, Miranda thought about coming to the Republic of Marvil in person, maybe she could really meet Avi. Although it has only been a year and a half since Avi left Golden Foot, Miranda never writes to Avi in order to avoid exposing Avi's situation. And when she was in Golden Shoe City, she didn't receive a reply from Avi, so Avi has completely lost her voice for more than a year, maybe she was in the same mood as her now in the two years of the previous Youshang, right?

Miranda knew that Avi wanted to get ahead, and if Avi didn't succeed, he wouldn't come back to him. After hearing that the two-color blade mercenary group was disbanded, she had thought that Avi might have encountered an accident, but she still firmly believed in her heart that Avi could be auspicious.

Two days later, Miranda arrived alone in the sandy capital of Honor, where the days had begun to get warm, but the nights could still be very cold.

After finding a small hotel to stay in, Miranda began to inquire about the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, she first came to the headquarters of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, and after asking, she found that there were no mercenaries named Avi, nor were they called Carrie and Fan. Miranda is a little disappointed, and now she can only hope that Avi will be able to contact her.

"You're asking about the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment?" In a market where merchants gathered, Miranda found a shop selling fruits, "You must be the first time to come to Honor City, right? The Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment is the most powerful mercenary group in the Marvier Republic, and their strength can even compete with the Mercenary Guild!"

The owner of the fruit shop, who was not doing well, began to talk to Miranda in a rambling conversation. He told the history of the Miranda Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and he also focused on the second rise of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment - after resisting the invasion and sneak attack of the Kosai Kingdom, the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment took the lead in blowing the horn of counterattack as an advance force, but due to the wrong command of the young regiment leader Andrei, they were ambushed in the Water Pool Castle, resulting in the death of several important people in the mercenary group.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Squadron Leader Alain Anderson and the support of Archon Manle, the Moon Shield Mercenaries quickly emerged from the shadow of defeat and regained their role as the leader of the Republic Mercenaries, defending the honor and dignity of the Republic of Marvil.

"Little sister, let me tell you, doing business here now has to be inspected by mercenaries, and the mercenaries are very powerful in Honor City, and it all blames that Archon Man Le and Commander Alain!" a merchant who was sitting next to him selling clothes interjected, "Do you want to consider changing some clothes here?

"By the way, I want to know something about the past of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group. Miranda remembered old Mr. Sivel's concern for his eldest daughter, Josephine.

The two merchants were talking about the Moon Shield, and of course they also mentioned a woman named Josephine, who had come here with the Life Weapon Moon Shield. Josephine later told Russell about it, and Miranda combined the rumors with the stories told by the two men and guessed a rough idea.

"Alas, but the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment is not having a good time, I heard that the First Elder Tyr wants to introduce the power of the Mercenary Guild. ”

"Why?"

"It seems that because the Royal Knights Mercenary Regiment belonging to the Mercenary Guild has solved the monster problem in the Western Desert..."

"Monsters?!"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but that's what everyone else says. ”

Miranda's curiosity was immediately attracted by the great desert of the West, where there are not only Hecot but also monsters!
