Chapter 131: The Mist (Part II)
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that something really happened in Tacoma City? β
In a certain hotel, a group of people gathered around......
Sean and the rest of the mercenary squad were also on the sidelines.
It was the fourth night of their departure from Rietis, and it was said that if they had climbed through the mountains of the south, they would have officially entered the jurisdiction of the cities in the southeast.
There were very few people coming here, and there were hardly any caravans or travelers on the main roads, and the mercenaries would meet at nearby inns every night during their trips to exchange useful information with each other.
And the most concerned thing today is that there is already a mercenary team that has retreated because they can't stand the fog in front of them, and now they are being questioned by everyone.
"yes, what the hell is going on? Why did you come back? β
Surrounded in the center was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties......
Of course, at the age of less than thirty, the mercenaries look very old as long as they don't shave and their faces are dusty.
He sat in the middle of the lobby of the inn, not far from Sean's table......
"What the hell is going on?"
"Don't make noise, don't give people a chance to speak. β
The crowd gathered around and didn't ask anything, but their own people quarreled first.
Sean glanced over there slightly......
Except for a bunch of states with [Curious!], [Anxious!] and [Expectant!], there is only one person with a negative state.
That is, the man who is surrounded in the center.
[Uneasy!]
And then there is a hint of the effect of [disease!].
It's not magic, it's a negative state......
"The man was sick. Sean whispered.
"Ah, who is Master Sean talking about?" Jonathan, who was sitting on the side, looked at him, and the only man in the middle of the crowd could be singled out.
"He's sick, but he just looks frightened. β
"People who just had symptoms may not have even noticed it......," Sean said.
In fact, the other party's illness is not very important, but the other party has just come back from a place further in front of him, which shows that there is a problem in the so-called fog?
"Be quiet!"
At this time, someone was finally able to stop the crowd.
"Listen to him, don't you come here to hear the result? What are you arguing about here, and if you quarrel again, I'll throw you out. The voice came from the attic of the inn, a loud man's voice.
Sean glanced up slightly, and there was a deep face under the short blond hair, and there seemed to be a scar looming.
Because of the poor light at night, coupled with the fact that there were so many people in the hall, Sean couldn't see clearly...... But it's certain that there's something on the face.
The overhead properties show:
γ,Neutralγ
It's still a level 9 orderer.,It should be considered a high level among mercenaries.γ
"Who is this?"
"Lucar. A well-known professional warrior in Rietis, it is said that Prince Philip once wanted to invite him to serve in the prince's palace but did not agree, and he is very famous among mercenaries, but I didn't expect him to come!" explained Jonathan, who was beside him.
That's right.
No wonder they were able to suppress these mercenaries.
Although mercenaries are free, they are sometimes the most difficult to talk to, especially when there are many people together...... There is no discipline at all, and he is not accustomed to obeying other people's arrangements, like a rabble.
This is probably why mercenaries can be used as auxiliaries but should never be mixed with regular troops, otherwise they may become a burden.
And Lucar in front of him must have a high prestige among the mercenaries, as long as he speaks, a group of people dare not reply......
"Let him speak slowly. Brother, tell us what's going on here, and why hasn't there been any news of the guild in the southeast for so long. He stood in the attic and looked down on the man sitting in the center.
The surrounding mercenaries also walked away with each other, giving the people in the center a chance to 'breathe'.
"I ...... I don't quite remember. The man's state was still [uneasy!], and this uneasiness also made him speak very confused.
"I don't remember, how many of you were on the team?"
"We set out from Rietis in seven of us...... "Panic!" appeared on the top of his head as he spoke.
"What about the others?"
"They're all lost in the fog. β
Lost......
"Why did you get lost, what is in the fog?" asked Lucar.
Everyone in the room wanted to know the answer.
"Nothing, but we can't get out...... I kept walking, but I found that my teammates around me were completely gone, so I started to get scared so I kept running back and kept soaking ......"
When he said this, he could see that the man was obviously trembling.
"Then I happened to meet the people who came from behind. The man looked at Lucar above, and if he hadn't been there, he wouldn't have said anything.
The person is gone, and he is still a teammate by his side!
For a while, the entire lobby of the hotel was discussing the explosion, and it was impossible to think about it.
"You won't lie to us, how can you get lost directly, if the fog is too big, you can walk hand in hand, and the Black Feather Knight only passed by some time ago, and they also walked over." The other mercenaries in the inn still didn't want to believe it.
Even Jonathan, the initiator of the mercenary team this time, couldn't understand this statement.
"People get lost?"
"Master Sean, do you think it's possible?" would always subconsciously ask themselves.
Because in their opinion, they have the title of silver-level bounty hunter is stronger, during this time, Sean also asked about the ranking of bounty hunters, the silver level is already the third echelon of characters, and there are only gold-level and steel-level photogenic hunters on the top, and there are three levels in the back.
Therefore, a few people will regard themselves as the strongest combat power of the entire team, but only Sean himself knows that the strongest person should be the alchemist Alphonse......
"He looked terrified all the time, not lying, but it would affect his memories...... I can't believe it all, but I have to believe it, and it seems that we have to prepare again. Sean's words made everyone nod.
Belch......
It seems that the title of his boss is going to be hung forever.
"So what are we going to prepare?" the topic returned to himself.
Fog, and disease......
Sean thought for a moment.
"Lord Alphonse, can you get some special potions there? at least to make sure we don't lose each other in the fog, but we won't get sick yet......"
"It's not hard. Alphonse said.
The rest, Sean hasn't thought about it for the time being.
I happened to be looking at the people in the hall when I noticed the presence of a person with red opinion in a corner......
[Apathy]
