In the early morning, the blood-red sun slowly rose in the eastern sky, and in an instant, the sun sprinkled the land, Lake Ether was dyed red, and the goblin town was also dyed red.

The sunlight shone through the wooden round glass window of Wang Xu's guest room, on the innermost wooden bed in the guest room, and on the face of Sangu, the minotaur who had been lying on the wooden bed all night.

"Ah......h

"If your throat hurts, come and have a glass of water. A faint voice came, this voice, very small, very soft, no emotion could be heard from it, as if it was just a random self-talk.

"Are you ......" After hearing the voice, Sangu raised his head slightly and squinted in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw a green shadow in the window, and if I looked closely, it was a young man wearing a green robe and a pointed hood, the young man was sitting at a square table in front of the window, his face was very pale, bloodless, and he looked like a necromancer, but he must not be a necromancer, because his eyes were purple, which was completely different from the gray of a necromancer.

"I seem to know him, who is it?" Sangu scratched his head and muttered to himself.

"Forget me," Wang Xu looked at Sangu's hysterical expression, pouted and smiled, and said in a low voice, "I am the one who gave you the enchanted weapon yesterday." ”

"Oh, yes!" Sangu patted his head and sat up on the bed, "Your name is Wang Xu, right?"

"That's right," Wang Xu squinted at him and said in a low voice: "Say less, your throat hurts, you drank too much yesterday, come and drink some water." ”

"Wow," Sang Gu got down from the bed, raised his hand and rubbed his throat, walked to the square table, sat down next to Wang Xu, picked up the purple glass cup that had been prepared on the table, poured a sip of water, and then, with the water in his mouth that had not yet been swallowed, asked Wang Xu, "Where is this?"

"Let's talk after drinking the water. Looking at the saliva that was about to spray on his body, Wang Xu smiled helplessly, and the spiritual power of Weiyun, those water droplets seemed to have life, and after he turned around, they all flew into the flower pot on the windowsill.

After seeing Sang Gu drink cup after cup and drink the whole pot of water, Wang Xu replied: "This is my house, you haven't forgotten that we signed a contract, you have to send me to Hill City." ”

"Well," Sangu put down the water glass, raised his hand and scratched his head, squinted his eyes and thought for a while before he spoke: "Yes, that's right, I took such a task yesterday, and the contract also said that you have to do something on the way." ”

"Yes," Wang Xu took out the contract he signed yesterday and handed it to Sangu, "I want to do something for the old skeleton Agrell, and I have to delay on the road for a day or two, at most a month, I have written all these contents on the contract, you read it yesterday, you can take a look at it." ”

"Oh, it's that guy from Agrell," Sangu the Minotaur seemed to know Agrell, and when he heard Agrell's name, a look of disgust appeared on his face, and his snort snorted twice, and then, taking the contract handed over by Wang Xu, after reading it again, he shouted, "He's not a good person!"

"That has nothing to do with me," Wang Xu took back the contract, put it in the space ring, and continued: "I'm just a mercenary, I don't do bad things, whether others do it or not, it's not something I can control, this time, I'm just helping him build a hidden enchantment, it's not a bad thing." ”

"Well, you are my friend," the minotaur glared at Wang Xu with those huge eyes, and suggested loudly, "I am afraid that you will fall for him, many of my people have fallen for Agrell, and they hate Agrel very much." ”

"Thank you," Wang Xu looked at the cute minotaur in front of him with a smile, and still liked him very much in his heart, but he felt that the world was full of deceit, scheming and calculation, and the simple idea of being too idealistic could only make him suffer more harm in real life, so Wang Xu did not simply distinguish others by the good and bad of people, but more to see if there was an opportunity for cooperation between each other, "Let's go, let's go eat something first, and then go to the gathering." ”

The minotaur Sangu sighed rarely, although he was not smart, he could see that Wang Xu did not agree with his point of view, he was still very worried about Wang Xu, but he couldn't think of any other reason to persuade Wang Xu.

After listening to Sangu's sigh that was louder than his own words, Wang Xu nodded slightly, got up and patted Sangu's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, and I also know how hateful Agrell is, but I have already signed a contract with him, there is no way, even if Agrell wants to be unfavorable to me, don't I still have you by my side, didn't I hire you as a bodyguard, can you protect me well, no matter how strong Agrell is, it is only at the same level as you and me, and he can deal with the two of us alone." ”

Although Wang Xu understood that what he said was a complete fallacy, looking at Sanguna's gradually calming expression, Wang Xu knew that the simple Sangu was persuaded by himself.

"Okay," Wang Xu pointed to a set of armor with a shining metal light hanging on the wall by the window, and said to Sangu: "That armor is for you, it is made of Mithril and woven after being drawn into silk, although its hard defense is not too high, it is very flexible, and it is impossible for ordinary swords and bows to penetrate it, you put it on, we go to eat, after eating, we go to gather." ”

After speaking, Wang Xu turned around and left.

"Where are you going to gather?" Sang Gu, who had a bold personality, turned his head and asked Wang Xu, and then, standing up, took off a set of leather clothes on his body, and then walked to the wall and took off the armor, put on the armor's shirt and pants, which felt quite comfortable, and put on the helmet with horns on his head and only eyes exposed, returned to the table, and put the leather coat on the outside of the armor.

"Meet by the river north of town. Wang Xu's voice came from the second floor.

After three or four minutes, Wang Xu came back, and Sang Gu saw that Wang Xu had changed his equipment.

The green robe that originally represented the Great Wizard was replaced with a black alchemist cloak, the pointed roof of the hood was replaced by a round roof that fit the head, and Wang Xu, who had no weapons in his hand, carried a long sword with a strange style behind his back, and a scroll barrel with a thick arm and a long calf hanging from his waist.

"Let's go, let's get something to eat first. Wang Xu glanced at Sangu who was wearing the armor, and felt that the style was not bad, in his opinion, since Sangu was a melee flesh shield type warrior, the armor he gave him could not limit his flexibility, and he had to be able to defend against long-range attacks, so this set of Mithril woven armor that he exchanged for in the dwarf tribe was just right for him.

"Good. Sangu replied, took his only belongings, the blanket roll, picked up his long axe, and followed Wang Xu out of the goblin hut.

Walking a few hundred meters north along the small bluestone paved streets, I walked into a small goblin noodle shop, and after asking how much Sangu could eat, Wang Xu ordered ten bowls of ramen, and only ate one bowl himself, and the rest was eaten by Sangu.

After dinner, after giving the boss a gold coin, Wang Xu took Sangu to the north of the town.

When he arrived at the meeting place, Wang Xu took a look and saw that there were dozens of black domed tents stationed along the river, and one of the largest tents also had a black flag standing on it, and a golden skull was painted on the black flag.

Walking into the camp, Wang Xu found that Warren's gang had arrived, and there were really a lot of them, although only Warren, Livka, Downs and Thornton were leading the way, but around them, there were dozens of knights wearing shiny silver armor and knights wearing black iron armor.

Wang Xuke knows that in the human realm, every knight is a quasi-nobleman, and there are so many knights here, so it can be seen that the status of the four Warren in the griffon kingdom must be very high, and they are definitely high-level nobles.

"I'm sorry," Wang Xu smiled slightly, and walked to a fire around Warren and the others with an apologetic expression, and when the four of them got up to meet him, he explained in a low voice: "I slept too late last night, so I woke up late this morning, and I am really sorry for the hard work of everyone waiting." ”

The four of them were stunned for a moment when they suddenly saw Wang Xu, who was dressed in a black cloak, carrying a strange sheathed long sword behind his back, and carrying a gray scroll barrel around his waist, and then they saw Wang Xu's figure that was more than two meters tall but slightly thin, and when they saw the pale but handsome face in the dome hood, they understood that it was really Wang Xu who came, but he just changed his clothes.

So, they all came up, and among them, Warren, who had an extra purple staff in his hand, spoke: "It's not too late, it's not too late, we've just arrived." ”

After listening to Warren's words, and seeing the somewhat ugly face of the swordsman Tang Si behind Warren, Wang Xu understood that he was really late.

Just as Wang Xu was about to apologize again, suddenly, Sangu beside him yelled at him: "Didn't I get up late, what do you apologize, I'll apologize!"

The four Warren listened to Sangu's roar, and looked at Sangu's serious face, and they could roughly guess Sangu's character, in their opinion, Sangu should be the kind of scheming and very straightforward minotaur.

"I'm sorry, my friend's temperament is more urgent," Wang Xu raised his hand to stop Sangu, who was about to apologize with a serious face, and said to Warren: "I introduced you yesterday, this is my friend Sangu." ”

After speaking, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Sangu and introduced Warren's four people to him one by one: "They are friends from the Western Continent, this is the fire archmage Warren, this is the water mage Livka, this is the swordsman Downs, this is the earth mage Thornton, and those are the friends who came with them." ”

"Well, hello!" Sangu's voice was earth-shattering, and his snort spewed out a huge stream of air, which was sandwiched with droplets of snot that sprang forward like bullets.

The four Warren in front of Sangu were miserable, all of them were sprayed with a viscous liquid, Warren, who has rich experience, casually wiped off the snot on his face, his expression did not change, he was still amiable, and although the three of Livka also quickly wiped off the snot on their faces, they stared at Sangu with round eyes.

"Hehe......" Sangu also knew that he was in trouble, he smiled awkwardly, scratched his head again, and saw that a huge scalp was flying all over the sky, and the black parasite also fell to the ground, wriggling on the ground.

"Forehead......" Livka was frightened, and quickly took a big step back, far away from Sangu, and Downs and Thornton also subconsciously took a step back, even Warren frowned slightly, obviously, he also hated Sangu a little.

"Oh, that's right," Seeing that the atmosphere around him was getting more and more embarrassing, Wang Xu quickly changed the topic and said, "What about Agrell, is he here?"

Before the words fell, the familiar voice like rubbing a blackboard with a fingernail sounded from the left side: "I said how dare someone howl loudly in my territory, it turned out to be you, my little bullfight, Sangu, hahahahaha......"
