Chapter 44: As the saying goes, the road is narrow

Five minutes later, at the mission release desk in the mercenary hall, Su Wen took over the private mission issued by Khrankimir. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This kind of task is designated by the employer to be able to receive the task of the mercenary or mercenary group, once it is posted, it will not be posted on the bulletin board, and can only be collected by the designated object. And a novice like Su Wen, who doesn't even have a mercenary identity card, has neither reputation nor experience, and it is rare to be able to receive a private task, of course, considering that nearly ninety percent of the mercenaries can only get the initial nameplate of bronze, Su Wen, who has directly obtained the second stage of silver, can indeed attract attention in a small place like Hongfeng Town.

According to the mandate, Su Wen received a deposit of ten percent, that is, ten gold coins.

Such a refreshing Hlankimir made Su Wen not have doubts, as a mercenary, he naturally had no reason to refuse the mission, especially this kind of simple escort task that could ensure at least one month of food and clothing.

Even if he wasn't short of money, Su Wen didn't mind finding something to do for himself.

"Then, tomorrow morning, we'll see you in Red Maple Town. โ€

At the gate of the Mercenary Guild, Hrankimir once again said goodbye to Su Wen with the standard aristocratic salute, and immediately stepped into a luxurious carriage and ordered the coachman to set off.

Not long after being drenched in water, Su Wen was soaked again, he shook off his short hair that was still hanging with water droplets, and left the mercenary union with a calm expression under countless strange eyes. Calculating the time, there is still a long time before the five hours required by the task, so although the two things planned before going out have been completed, and there are unexpected gains, if you go back now, it will be worth the loss if the system fails or redoes the task willfully.

So, Su Wen decided to simply take this opportunity to wander around Red Maple Town for half a day.

It's been more than half a year since he came to the Brilliant Continent, and when he was in Tridis, Su Wen was constantly running around for his goals, either in the magic academy or staying in the library hungry to absorb knowledge, and he had to spend a few hours in prison every once in a while, and he couldn't be idle at all. In this kind of life, Su Wen feels a little tired even if he is iron, so it is better to take a small vacation for himself before officially starting the journey of earning points, and walk around to see if there are any interesting things.

However, just as Su Wen was about to stay away from the mercenary union and plan to go to the market in Red Maple Town next, his body suddenly became stiff, and he shivered with a solid cold shiver all over his body.

In the next second, dragging the clothes that were close to him because of the loss of water, Su Wen almost rolled and hid behind a stone statue on the side of the street, avoiding a figure walking far away on the road.

The intensity of this reaction is a good indication that Su Wen has encountered something he would never want to see.

Really......

"Gollistan, why is she here!"

Su Wen's scalp tingled and he muttered to himself.

Although in his mind, the most terrifying creature is no longer this serious and vicious judge knight, but the new Shirley. But when he met the former, Su Wen still felt like a mouse who had met a cat, and he was sorry for his identity as "Shame of Tridias" if he didn't run.

However, with the help of the gap in the stone statue, Su Wen found that Gollistan was no longer fully armed as usual, but was wearing simple men's civilian clothes and a long ponytail. It was the first time Su Wen had seen her outfit, and although he had to admit that this fierce and vicious high-ranking knight did look a little bit when he wore civilian clothes, he knew that it was all just an illusion - he knew the true face of Goristan better than anyone else.

At this time, Goristan's expression was a little gloomy, as if she had encountered some setback, and she did not have the sword of judgment that had been with her for many years, and in its place was only an ordinary-looking one-handed sword. Su Wen was not interested in paying attention to what happened to this terrible woman, anyway, the worse she messed up, the happier he was, who let her find her own trouble in Trides every day.

Although there was some schadenfreude, Su Wen was not stupid enough to touch the moldy head of a high-ranking knight. He decided to hide here and wait for the other party to leave, and then take the opportunity to sneak away.

However, just because he doesn't plan to touch Gollistan's moldy head doesn't mean everyone doesn't.

......

The area around the mercenary union is already an area with a lot of rotten people, and no one expects how good the thick men who only rely on physical strength to eat. This situation may not be obvious in the strict law of Tritis City, but it is well demonstrated in a rural place like Red Maple - just more than half an hour after Su Wen arrived here, there were two brawls on the streets right now, and both sides were mercenaries who clashed over soliciting. Therefore, it seems normal for a bumpy and eye-catching woman to walk down the street, and it is also a street full of rude mercenaries, to be accosted.

Well, so when Su Wen saw the sturdy bald mercenary with tattoos on his arm blocking Goristan's path and condescendingly saying to her, "Chick, do you have any special tasks to post?", Su Wen knew that someone must be unlucky.

Sure enough, the next moment, the mercenary man, who looked to weigh more than two hundred pounds, left his feet off the ground. His eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the hand that grabbed his neck, and then the owner of the hand, Goristan, was thrown far away in a flick like garbage, collided with the marble statue where Suwen was hiding on the side of the street, and tumbled heavily on the ground with a heavy muffled sound.

From a distance of two or three meters, Su Wen noticed the silver third-stage mercenary nameplate on his chest......

Gollistan acted in a measured manner, and the mercenary was only knocked unconscious without any physical damage. Soon, he staggered up from the ground, shook his head vigorously, and then, as if he had been greatly insulted, picked up the two-handed greatsword that had fallen with him, and rushed towards Goristan with a roar, as if trying to get back to the field.

Goristan's response is simple.

She silently pulled out a small saber that was not at all the same level as the two-handed greatsword, and quietly condensed the thin fighting qi on the blade, the process was extremely fast and secretive, and no one noticed it except for Su Wen, who was secretly observing. Then, she gently lifted the accessory and met the two-handed big sword smashed by the bald mercenary, accompanied by the not loud sound of gold and iron, the big sword made of pig iron was cut in two as if it had been cut into tofu, and the tip of the sword weighing dozens of catties slipped heavily to the ground.

The brawl ended very quickly, or at all.

Realizing what a terrible presence he had provoked, the bald mercenary stared at the great sword that he had always been proud ofโ€”now it had broken in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

His head was covered in cold sweat, which stood out in the sunlight.

Soon there was a commotion around, whether it was passers-by or mercenaries who had nothing to do, they all realized what they had seen: a silver-level mercenary was killed in an instant for molesting a young girl, this kind of incident is good material for big news!

And only Su Wen knew that the woman in the middle of the road who was collecting her sword in silence was far more terrifying than she had shown.

But-

Two seconds later, Su Wen was suddenly shocked to find that after this brief contest, Goristam, who was still a little absent-minded about the things around him, actually began to squint and look around seriously. It wasn't long before her eyes noticed a water stain that stretched from the mercenary guild not far away to the side of the road, and the water stain made a sharp 90-degree turn ten meters away from her, and extended to the ground behind a statue.

"it!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Wen roared secretly, and then hurriedly bowed his body and wanted to slip away. But he immediately discovered that this place had no cover at all except for the stone statues around him, and it was strange that he could walk away.

But, wait, what's wrong with my heart?

Only then did Su Wen react, this is Red Maple Town, not Tridis, Goristan can't arrest herself just because she was walking on the street, right? Although she would definitely do this when she was in Tridis, she would rather kill by mistake than let it go, but this is not within her jurisdiction!

After this realization, Su Wen was completely relieved.

He swaggered out from behind the stone statue, taking the Glystein that had locked him in an instant as air, and walked off into the distance.

However, in the next second, Su Wen still heard a familiar shout full of anger.

"Stop!"

So Su Wen didn't hesitate to run up, and instantly distanced himself from Goristan for dozens of meters. But it wasn't enough to make him feel safe, for a high-ranking knight who was skilled in using his fighting spirit, this distance was no different from being close at hand, he could only keep his head down and run, otherwise he would-

"What are you running?"

A cold voice sounded from behind, and Su Wen instantly felt that his shoulders were firmly locked, and with another reverse twist, he was completely unable to exert his strength. His movements came to an abrupt halt from galloping, and then he was pressed to the ground, and Goristan's iron-hard knees pressed against his back, completing the whole process of the grappling. Under the chasm-like gap in strength, this is the umpteenth time that Su Wen has found himself unable to resist at all.

He desperately slapped the floor with his still movable left hand, signaling the hateful female knight to stop.

"Hey, Goristan, this is Red Maple Town, even if you want to arrest me, it won't be your turn!"

What he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Goristan actually let go of his hand.

And it worked!

Su Wen was overjoyed, he turned over and jumped up from the ground, and continued to run away despite the wet body covered with mud, but he was immediately locked by Goristan's shoulders and couldn't move at all.

"Isn't it enough for you to play hooligan in Trides, and you still want to run to Red Maple Town to plague the world?" When facing Su Wen, Goristan was like Laetitia, always like to talk to him in a sneering tone, "Even if I am no longer a knight of the judge, I will send you to the judgment hall of Red Maple Town, where there will naturally be a judge to judge you, and you have the right to remain silent until then." โ€

Su Wenbei came from it, and he knew that Gollistan would definitely do it.

This stubborn female knight doesn't know what flexibility is at all, obviously what she is doing is no different from a dog meddling with a mouse, and she still thinks that she represents justice.

But in fact, Su Wen was not worried about going to prison: this time he didn't have any incriminating evidence on his body, and just getting wet could not constitute a crime such as affecting the city's appearance, not to mention that this kind of strange crime would basically only be accepted by Tridis. Therefore, he only had to show the fact that he could not be convicted, and then the female knight would let him go as helplessly as usual.

But at the same time, Suvin also noticed another thing.

"It's only been a few days since you saw you, and you're no longer a Knight of Judgment. Did you provoke your boss and get fired? Is that really a crime...... No, I mean it's a pity. โ€
