001: Ready to go

Not far west of Kelrydan, there is a young town called Abbron. A few years ago www.biquge.info it was just a small village. But since Woodlin became lively, it became the best stronghold for the Gold Rush. The clever merchant did not miss this opportunity to make a fortune, while the clever lord was the first to raise taxes and increase tolls.

The gold rush soon passed, and all the gold that could be mined was looted, leaving too many corpses in the process. For those who benefit, it's no longer worth putting a lot of effort here, and for those who want to pick up the slack, there's no need to team up with others.

That being said, it has grown steadily with its business. It also has something to do with the fact that Kyle Redan is so close to here.

Eve and the others did their final rest here, and Eve deliberately concealed her identity, so she didn't attract anyone's attention, and others just thought she was a late gold digger, shaking their heads and laughing at her sluggishness.

"I said, I'm measured. Eve took a gentle bite of the apple, and the crisp sound seemed to confirm its sweetness. "And I've promised you double the honorarium, what's the problem?"

"Yes, dear lady, there is no problem with this. Standing in front of her was the previous mercenary captain, who was rubbing his hands together, not knowing what he was thinking. "But, you know, I didn't know you wanted to go to Woodlin, it wasn't your average forest. ”

"I know, but I've also heard that it's been safe in here lately. Eve said unhurriedly, as if she wasn't listening to what he was saying.

"No, if you listen to those rumors, you're very wrong!" the captain quickly explained. "Woodlyn Lane...... There is a group of mysterious people. There was no negotiation, no notice, they killed anyone they saw, without any ambiguity!" said the captain in an exaggerated tone, as if he could not show how terrible they were.

"Oh, I haven't heard of that, and if what you're saying is true, how can the Gold Diggers know nothing?" Eve was interested, and what he said overlapped slightly with what he knew.

"Oh, my lady, why do you think no one dares to come here to pan for gold anymore?" said the captain. "I used to be a member of the Gold Rush Team, you can trust what I say, I don't dare to deceive you!"

Eve smiled slightly, and took another bite of the apple, as if all her attention was drawn to the delicious apple, and not at all on the captain's body.

In this way, time passed little by little, and the captain couldn't help but drip a cold sweat on his head. Sweat seeped into his eyes, but he didn't dare reach out to wipe them.

"So, you need to increase the price?" Eventually, Eve was the first to speak, which made the captain's tense heart relax. "No, it's not, of course I want to earn more, but only if I have the life to spend it. The captain thought about it, but he still didn't dare to directly mention the price increase.

"Because you boasted of your ability to fight in the woods, I hired you at this price, and paid a deposit. Eve played with the apple in her hand, her eyes not on the captain's body. "But now, it sounds like you don't seem sure you're going to win?"

The captain had more sweat on his head, but he resisted the urge and told the truth: "Although I hate to say this, but, yes, it is absolutely impossible to survive from them with our words alone. The hardest words came out, and the captain felt a lot more relieved. "I'll have to gather some more...... Special friends. The captain said in a tactful tone.

"Then go ahead. Eve said lightly, as if something was unimportant. She ate the apple in her hand, and the attendants helped her dispose of the remaining scraps.

"Without them, even if there is a breach of contract...... What are you talking about?" the captain was a little stunned, he didn't expect Eve to agree so decisively.

"I will give them double the honorarium and give you three times, and you will bring them before the sun rises again. If not, then I'll find someone else. After Eve finished speaking, she didn't leave time for the captain to think about it, got up and walked out of the room, leaving only the captain who hadn't reacted yet.

In fact, Eve didn't want to wait for a moment, she wanted to set off immediately, cut down all the guys who came out of nowhere, and then rescue the Duke of Rum. But after all, she can't mess around like a wayward girl, and her calmness never abandons her. At times, this frustrates her.

It's hard to imagine that this little inn has squeezed so many of them. As soon as Eve walked out of the room, it was full of people, and there was little room left for her to stay. The mercenaries scrambled to make a way for her. The process was not smooth, and many mercenaries bowed down and cursed a few times, but they didn't dare to make too many mistakes.

Eve didn't waste her energy on them, and walked straight through them and out of the station. Stationed outside the door were her own knights, who expressed their displeasure at being placed so far away from her. But Eve used the need to gain trust as an excuse to get them to behave.

The knights don't care about this, they are always gearing up, and if those mercenaries make any moves, they will be the first to kill them.

"When shall we depart, my lady?" asked one of the knights, standing up. It was the man who had risked his life to ask for help, named Barry, one of Rum's cronies.

"Tomorrow morning, we still need some manpower, and the people here have some knowledge of our enemies. Eve said. The sergeant nodded, didn't say anything, just began to sharpen the sword in his hand, and his attitude was all about action.

Eve bypassed them and found Arthur, who was sitting in the farthest distance. At this time, Arthur was dressed in chain mail and had a sword hanging from his waist, and if it weren't for the red hair that was the mark, it would be almost unrecognizable who he was. "We're going tomorrow morning. Over the years, sharing information with Arthur has become one of Eve's habits.

"Then we'll have to hurry up and replenish our supplies, who knows how long we're going to be here?" Arthur said tepidly. "All we can buy here is apples, plus some air-dried meat we have with us, maybe enough to last a month or two, and then we'll be stuck in the woods. ”

"I know. Eve sat down beside him. "But I'm not trying to say that. "Only in front of people she knows can Eve reveal her true heart.

"About your father?" said Arthur lightly, and when he said the word father, he changed his tone a little, but he did a good job of masking the past.

"Yes, I just wanted to ask, what is your impression of him?" asked Eve, seemingly casually. But Arthur heard her seriousness, and he tried to sort out his memories. “...... Kind, approachable, humorous and personable, he is still the most fair and upright person I have ever met. Arthur paused, then added. "And wisdom, impressive wisdom. ”

Eve nodded silently. "Do you know what I think of him?" Arthur was stunned, indeed, he rarely heard Eve talk about his father. "No, I've never heard you say that. ”

Eve smiled wryly, it was a secret in the deepest part of her heart, and she had never mentioned it to anyone. "Would you suggest I tell a story, a little long, a little tedious, the kind that absolutely no one wants to listen to. ”
