Chapter Twenty-Three: The Observer Reappears
The next day soon came, and Delacro and Polis Lavi had just returned to Zenda, and before they could rest for a while, they were summoned to the town hall by Aracis, while Natsuhiko was still in a coma, and after meeting with the Ten Soldiers, he informed Delacro of the events of yesterday......
"Why did Maitreya Natsuhiko get hurt like this, there shouldn't be many people who can hurt him......"
"It's hard to imagine, but what we've encountered isn't an ordinary human ......" Ten Guards took out the black magnet and handed it to Delacro, asking, "He has this on him, I only know it's called the black magnet, have you ever seen anything like it?"
Delacro seemed disgusted by the black crystal, and said bluntly, "My intuition tells me that this magnet will bring ominous, so let's throw it away!"
"But I decided to find out the secret it contained, so I had to keep it for now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But Jubei didn't want to give up the black magnet, and ended the conversation very unpleasantly.
Polislawi took Xia Yan's copy of the "Mercenary Rules" from Arassis, and after learning its purpose, he asked the Ten Guards: "Aji, about the letter of mercenaries...... Isn't it time for us to go?"
Shibei nodded, indicating that he shouldn't waste time, and said, "Let's go, don't worry about Xia Yan for the time being, he is well taken care of." ”
After yesterday's terrorist attack, Chanda Town Square seemed a little lifeless, although there were many passers-by walking in the square, but they were all like ghosts and did not say a word, only Xiao Yi was different, she hummed poetry and trotted all the way to Shibei and others.
"This little girl is really strange, should I say that she is innocent, or should I say that she is different......" Looking at Shaw who ran towards them, White felt a strong sense of disobedience.
Xiao Yi ran to the three of them, paused to take a few breaths, and reminded them: "Finally back, Uncle Robin has already helped you build a weapon, and I want me to ask you to get it!"
Before the three of them could say yes, she had already dragged the hands of the Ten Guards and Delacro towards the street where the blacksmith shop was, and White did not intend to be left behind, and chased after him......
Coming to Fat Robin's blacksmith's shop, there is a strong smell of metal, and the mixture of steam and smoke is constantly coming out of the furnace, and outsiders will not be able to stay here, but Fat Robin, who has long been used to it, sits in the smoke and displays his works on the long table in front of him.
"Mr. Robin, I heard that the weapon is finished, right?" asked Jubei, covering his nose as soon as he stepped through the door.
Fat Robin picked up the fan on the side to disperse the smoke a little, pointed to a few weapons on the table, and replied, "Yes, according to your request, I have made three Oriental knives out of steel made of fire crystal, a steel sword, a steel long knife, and a steel spear. ”
The fire spar ingot made of weapons was truly different, and both Delacro and White liked their new weapon and thanked Robin. And Mo Cha and Natsuhiko's weapons are not used for the time being, so he decides to let Alex make a backpack to hold Maitreya's three knives first, and then give Mo Cha's long knife a scabbard himself.
"Take this! It's a sword, and it must be fitted with a proper scabbard. He seemed to have forgotten something, and threw a very beautiful scabbard to Delacro.
Delacro thanked him again, and White asked Robin for a bundle of tendons, which he put on the handle of his gun to keep his hand from slipping, and asked, "Do you have a bow and arrows here?" ”
"The bows are all imported, and some compound bows from Virginia are sure to suit your needs. With that, Robin took out a hard bow from a wooden box in the blacksmith's shop and handed it to White.
"I don't have any extra money on me, only this hundred dinars, and I owe the rest first. White decided to take credit first, and Robin didn't say much, but took the goods, and the three of them said goodbye to Fat Robin and left the blacksmith shop.
Two days later, the Ten Guards arrived at the city of Drehem as fast as they could, and on the same day they agreed with Delacro that they would be in charge of several important strongholds in the territory of Ryrdian, while Delacro and White would go to Nord territory. From afar, the city of Drehem, a much larger city than Chanda, is located in the middle of the Dreher Plateau, known as the crossroads of Calradia, and is known for its ease of transportation, where farmers from nearby towns often come to sell their produce and leave with bags full of dinars......
He had no leisure to enjoy the cityscape of Drehem, and as the Ten Guards walked down the street with their exhausted traveling horses, they inquired from a citizen about the location of one of the city's taverns. As soon as he stepped through the tavern doors, he was greeted by the corruption of the lower classes, and in addition to the mercenaries who were stationed here for mixed food, there were also swaggering slave traders, unscrupulous poets, and wanderers......
"Boss, take care of the horses for me, and serve me a simple meal. ”
"No problem, find a place to sit down, my men will take care of your mount. ”
He wasted no time, first found the tavern owner and ordered a table of wine and food, and settled his mount, found a few mercenaries standing in the corner, and came forward to talk: "Gentlemen, if you don't mind, I want to treat you to a drink." ”
"Thank you, sir, how can we refuse such a good idea. The mercenaries agreed, and followed the Ten Guards to the table he had booked and sat down.
After a full meal......
"Who do you want us to kill?" asked the mercenary leader.
Shibei took out the mercenary letter: "Actually, I'm here for this, freedom needs you, and it's your dream to join the mercenary association, right?"
"It's been ten years since we last went to Zenda, and we'd love to go back, and there are a dozen other brothers who will go there immediately!" The mercenaries seemed to yearn for Zenda Town, so they agreed directly, and wrote down their group names on the mercenaries' letters.
After recruiting the mercenaries in this tavern, Jubei was about to leave, but a familiar voice came from the second floor......
"Ten Soldiers, it seems that you have also discovered the value of this continent that is about to bloom, right?"
Although he heard the voice, after quickly rushing to the second floor, he found that there was no human figure here, and there was no exit around. When he felt something was wrong, a bright light surrounded him, and the dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes......
After vision was restored, Jubei found himself in a completely empty space. He closed his eyes again to feel the movement around him, locked a little, and released a few flying needles somewhere in the air.
The flying needle was blocked by something, and then a mirror-shaped voice came: "Flying needle master Jian Shibei." Your heart and eye are really worthy of your name, and it seems that I don't have to hide myself anymore. ”
With the mirror shape and active manifestation, the Ten Guards jumped to a higher position with all their strength, kicked the mirror below, and shattered it in the moment of hit, and when he realized that this was a mirror image, he shot again, and instantly shot a flying needle at the ground behind him.
