Chapter 959 Small Town
In the cloudless sky, a small black shadow was flying from afar, and as the black shadow kept approaching, I saw a figure in a black robe sitting on the back of a huge golden eagle.
"Well, it should be here, why haven't you seen it yet?"
The person who came was none other than Hale, who had set out from the Fire Holy City to find the Wyvern.
He flew all the way according to the map given to him by Loren, how fast the lightning golden eagle was, but for a few days, Hale didn't see a single two-legged wyvern.
"Well, if you continue to fly like this, it seems that you will almost fly to the side of the Liji Empire... That old man Loren can't have taken the wrong map, right?"
Luo Lun, who was in the villa in Area A, suddenly sneezed, then rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "Cold? No, it must be which bastard scolded Lao Tzu! Hmph, I know who did it!"
The depressed Hall waved his hand and threw the data into the space, and then patted the Lightning Golden Eagle, which immediately let out a loud roar and flew forward at an accelerated speed.
In front of a snowy valley, there was originally a small human gathering place, which was slowly formed by some people who entered the valley to collect hardy herbs and came out to trade with others.
However, since the discovery of the appearance of bipedal wyverns here, there have been many more mercenary organizations that have come to capture bipedal wyverns and pull them back to sell, and finally the small gathering place has become larger and larger, and gradually a town has been formed.
At one time, it became a huge trading town, with a population of almost hundreds of thousands at its peak, and various service industries emerged one after another.
It just so happens that this valley is located at the junction of the inner courtyard of the Fire Phoenix Imperial Magic Academy and the inner courtyard of the Liji Imperial Magic Academy.
Since when the two-legged wyvern was first discovered, both sides felt that this two-legged wyvern was stronger than the griffin, and if it could be tamed, it could greatly increase the strength of the inner court.
Therefore, at the beginning, the two magic academies had a lot of disputes over this matter, and they almost fought for a while.
For this matter, Dean Hudson quarreled with the dean of the inner courtyard of the Liji Imperial Academy of Magic.
Fortunately, just when the two sides were a little arguing and ready to start splitting up, something went wrong with taming the bipedal wyvern.
The original ferocious bipedal wyvern didn't know why, but after being tamed, it was compared to sheep, and it had no other advantages except for being docile, and it was not suitable for combat at all except that it could be used to carry people.
Then the two sides stopped, although on the surface it did not seem to be a big problem, but both sides knew in their hearts that this gap could not be eliminated in a word.
Therefore, from time to time, some skirmishes will break out between the two sides, and some people will even be seriously injured for this, but fortunately, there are no deaths, otherwise even the high-level will not be able to stop it.
With the withdrawal of both sides, the large town that had risen suddenly because of the two-legged wyvern became depressed overnight, and after the population plummeted, the original city that never sleeps is now one in ten.
On the tall city wall, mercenaries were looking at an open space outside the city with excited faces.
"Hey, you say, which inner courtyard will win this time? I'll bet a gold coin, I'll bet that the Fire Phoenix Imperial Magic Academy can... Hold on for half an hour and then lose!"
A mercenary with a beard at the corner of his mouth raised the corner of his eye slightly, and then said to his companion with a smile on his face.
"Cut!Jack, you guy want to cheat money again?, are we all blind?" A tall and burly mercenary glanced at the mercenary named Jack with disdain, this scene in front of him happened here from time to time, although this town is no longer prosperous, but there are still some merchants who are reluctant to give up the business opportunities here, and these mercenaries are hired by these merchants to guard the town.
As for the group of confrontation guys outside, it's not the first time these mercenaries have seen it, they are the students of two magic students, and they are probably here for some tasks, with their experience, these guys definitely have a conflict because of the mission, and then there will be such a confrontation or even the next brawl.
The big man who spoke had already seen the situation in front of him clearly, the forces of the two sides were fundamentally symmetrical, and there were only four people on the side of the Fire Phoenix Empire Magic Academy that Jack said, and the most powerful one was only a seventh-rank magician, while there were eight people on the side of the Liji Empire, although the most powerful was also a seventh-rank magician, but there were three such people!
Needless to say, everyone knows that Jack thinks he will lose! That's why the big guy disdains Jack's shoddy deceptive skills.
"Ahem, that's not what I said, didn't I just say it, I'm just betting on how long they will be defeated, it depends on your eyesight and guts, betting on whether they will be defeated in half an hour. ”
Jack didn't care about the big man's taunts, and when more and more people looked at him, he became more and more proud.
"How's it going? Everyone is so bored here every day, it's rare to have such a chance today?"
When everyone heard it, they felt that this was indeed the case, and it was really boring recently, in addition to being on duty every day, the rest was drinking, chatting and farting.
Every day, even a big guy would be bored, and when Jack said this, everyone suddenly became interested.
"This can be had!But we bet, Jack, you want to destroy the white wolf with empty gloves, right?" A middle-aged mercenary looked at Jack with a skeptical expression, he wanted to see how much money he could come up with with Jack's current situation.
"That's it, hurry up and take it out, if you don't have a few dozen gold coins, then don't blame us for doing it!"
Seeing that these mercenaries were all looking at him, Jack didn't talk nonsense, and took out a bag from his waist, which was actually full, and made a jingling sound as he shook it.
The people present were all knowledgeable people, and as soon as they heard it, they knew that this was indeed a genuine gold coin.
"Why do you have so many gold coins? Did you go to rob?" the big man looked at Jack with a frown, for their mercenaries, if there was no one to hire, they could become robbers.
It's just that the Soul Clan has suddenly appeared recently, and killed a lot of mercenaries, which makes them a little afraid to go out, and the most powerful merchants in the town clearly stipulate that if they dare to rob, they will be expelled from the town once they are discovered.
And Jack suddenly took out a really lot of money, which made the big guy suddenly think of possibility, which is also the reason why the big guy looked ugly.
"Robbery? No, no! How is it possible! This place, how many people do you think are willing to do business? Even if I want to rob, there must be people!"
