Chapter 323: The Down-and-Out Mercenary

To be eligible to participate in the "Seven Days of Hell", there is no doubt that Barrow has far more strength than ordinary people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He himself was convinced of this.

He often felt that compared to the people in those big mercenary groups, he was just from a good background. He didn't have any special training, and he didn't have the money to buy potions to drink, so he fell to this point and became a mercenary who fights black boxing.

In fact, he only came into contact with the business a year ago. At that time, he spent the night in the casino, lost all his belongings, and missed the meeting time of the mercenary group. When he went to the head of the regiment with a desperate face, he was spit out of the door by the head of the regiment, and since then he has kicked out of the original mercenary group.

His great sword, his armor...... Everything was used to mortgage the heavy gambling debts, but it wasn't enough. He lost all his friends, and his wife slipped away overnight with their children. When the casino guy came looking for him, he was knocking on his neighbor's door and wanted to borrow a rope to hang himself.

"Do you want to die? At that time, the casino man grabbed him by the collar and said this to him.

In this way, Barrow embarked on the path of black boxing.

Over the course of a year, he fought a total of six black punches. That is, he survived six life-and-death struggles. On three occasions, he came from the brink of life and death, almost collapsed in the blood-stained ring, never to get back up.

But even so, he still failed to pay off his gambling debts.

Barrow repented of not doing it at the beginning. He didn't know why he owed so much debt, and when he was red in the first place, the people at the casino didn't even remind him.

But regret has lost its meaning, and he can only keep coming to power, winning money, and recuperating from his injuries...... The people in the casino kept an eye on him, and as soon as he was almost healed, he went on the field, and then he was seriously injured, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Until the previous week, the casino people told him about the "Seven Days of Hell". He was also afraid of death, but the bounty of 5,000 gold coins gave him hope for freedom. Those people told him that as long as he participated in the "Seven Days of Hell", the bounty he received would pay off his gambling debts.

-- He can be reborn.

Unable to resist such temptation, in the end, Barrow came to this place without hesitation.

However, it did not occur to him that the so-called "Seven Days of Hell" was just a hunting ground to satisfy the perverted desires of the rich. Exponentially the number of people surrounded them, and there were even mages involved. They had no choice but to be driven into the forest symbolizing death like prey.

Drake said that as long as they survived for seven days, the money would be theirs. But will they really make it through?

In the beginning, they just couldn't use their hands and just ran inside. But then? They have no food, their hands can't recover, they chew the bark every day, and they can survive the hunt of the rich people?

Barrow knew he was going to die, but he was still running away. No matter how arrogant you say, in the final analysis, no one really wants to die.

Every near-death experience he experienced made him deeply feel how beautiful it is to be alive.

However, he did not expect that before he could even start to run away, he was restrained again by a young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sudden wind blew him to the ground, and the sudden formation of ice froze him so hard that he could not take a single step. He knew very well that only a mage could do all this, and he had neither weapons nor hands, so what could he do against a mage?

He was like an animal waiting to be slaughtered, and he could only raise his head in despair.

However, instead of the "hunter", he saw the thinnest of the "prey" with them.

At that moment, Barrow felt like his mind wasn't going to turn.

This guy ...... A mage?

He came in the same carriage as this man. At first, he wondered how this person had gotten the qualification, and what was the difference between coming and dying. He could never have imagined that a mage would be mixed in with their team and enter the woods without those people noticing.

Moreover, the man said such things to him.

"I ask you, do you want to regain your sword and chop all the fools out there to pieces?"

Behind the young man, the sky gilded the figure floating in the air with a circle of light. If it weren't for the vulgar words of the other party, Barrow even thought that there was some god attached to this person to save them.

Can...... He still couldn't believe it.

"Yes, did God save us?"

Barrow wanted to smack himself to death when he said this. But at that moment, he was so desperate that his huge body began to tremble slightly.

"No god cares about the dark corners of the world. But the other said, "We are the only ones who can save us." ”

At that moment, Barrow finally came to his senses and realized that what was in front of him was not just his fantasy, but a miracle that really happened in front of his eyes.

A mage, mixed with the "prey", came up to him and threw an olive branch at him.

What else could he answer?

"I-I think!" his voice was so loud that he startled himself, "I want to kill all those fools......!" I want to live!"

He was afraid that his impulsive words would offend the other party. Fortunately, the other party looked happy and nodded at him.

"I can heal your hands and give you weapons, but you have to pay the price. The other continued, "I will plant a curse on you. From now on, you must obey my commands. With just one thought, I can make your life worse than death. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Barrow was a little depressed.

He didn't understand what the curse was, but he knew that he had gained life, but he was going to lose his freedom again.

"But you don't have to worry too much, I won't enslave you, I won't force you to do something that will kill you. As long as you are loyal to me, I will make your life more comfortable. The other party may have seen that he had not answered for a long time, and continued.

Hearing this, Barrow finally nodded.

Freedom is something he's lost for too long, and maybe he doesn't deserve to be free at all. Vulgar like him, he just hopes to live, and he has to live no matter how much he lives.

So, the other party showed a satisfied expression and waved his hand.

The ice that had frozen him disappeared, and countless magical balls of water appeared. The water balloon enveloped him, and gradually, the pain in both arms disappeared. He was pleasantly surprised to find that he could swing his fist again!

Then, a large sword made entirely of ice fell in front of him.

"That...... You can make do with it first, and then you can wrap your hand in a strip of cloth and then hold the sword, so as not to get frostbitten. Soon I will find you a real sword. ”

Barrow stood up, looked at the figure in the sky, and then at the ice sword in front of him, and for some reason, his eyes were hot.

It seems like...... It's been a long time since anyone has spoken to him in that tone.

It was as if he had returned to those days in the mercenary group, he had not been ruined by gambling, and his past mistakes had been written off as if he were dreaming. His life in the sewers was given a chance to start over.

"I ......"

"What are you still rubbing?" the other party urged, "Hurry up, we still have more than 20 people to save!"

Barrow was stunned, then suddenly came back to his senses and nodded vigorously.

He tore off a corner of his clothes, wrapped his palm, and pulled out the ice sword that was stuck in the ground.

"I ...... You ready. He spoke, for some reason, as nervous as if he had been on a mercenary mission for the first time.

It may be that he is too obvious, and the other party can see his nervousness. But what he didn't expect was that the other party didn't continue to urge him, but turned around and suddenly smiled kindly at him.

"By the way, you can call me Benjamin. The man said.
