In the Ice Crystal Hall, Yalin, who was sitting on the throne, slowly returned to reality from the memories of the White Dragon King, and in the past two days, Yalin spent most of his time checking the memories of the White Dragon King, in order to find a way to fuse Luo Jie'an and the White Dragon consciousness, because there were only 5 days left for the spell that had been maintained on Luo Jie'an's body to ensure that her consciousness was not swallowed up. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info but the helpless thing is that the memory of the White Dragon King, who has lived for thousands of years, is very large, because Yalin can only rely on intuition to find the information he wants and has not been able to find it, plus there is not much time left, which makes Yalin very distressed.
Now it should have been a race against time to find his memory, Yalin stopped to inquire about the studio, because the summoned elemental creature Ice Crystal Falcon sent back the news, through the residual frost power on the female mage Leilith's body for several days and nights, the Ice Crystal Falcon had already caught up before the prey escaped from the forest.
This feeling ┉┉ Does anyone help her?
Thousands of kilometers away, Yalin has already extended his magic power to the limit, due to the problem of distance, Yalin, who perceives things through elemental creatures, can only get some vague information, and the frost power remaining on Leilith's body is advancing rapidly, not like what an exhausted girl can do, and beside her, Yalin also feels that some other souls are moving together.
In the vague cleanliness of the middle, Yalin can still roughly distinguish some people, this team is about a dozen or so people, three of them can feel the magic fluctuations, and some of them seem to be ordinary warriors from the flow of breath, through Gretel's memory, Yalin guessed that these people may be mercenaries hired by slave traders in the free city.
"I don't know if the girl has already told her about this. Although she had already learned from Gretel's memories that the mage Leilith was disgusted with the slave traders, and she knew how serious the encounter with the Arnold Mountains was, Arlin, who was sitting on the throne, was still worried and muttered to herself, "No way! Let's get rid of these people together, but we have to kill Leilith first!"
Under the consciousness of Yalin, the ice crystal falcon above the forest increased its speed again and flew towards the target that was already not far away, five high-level elemental creatures were absolutely useless to deal with a female mage who had exhausted her magic power, even if the combat level of that team was better than that of the investigation team led by Gretel, but the number was always too small, and they had no chance of winning against five high-level elemental creatures.
=========================================
Rapid marching is accustomed to mercenaries who are accustomed to life on the battlefield, and although Leilith is a mage, her physique is not bad, so she is usually used to this kind of march day and night
It's still going on, but now that Leilith has just escaped death and her body is still in an extremely weak state, this kind of high-load march is not overwhelming for the female mage, so she is fighting for her life!
It was already close to the edge of the Misty Forest, although the wind and snow were not very heavy but the weather was still very cold, Maggie held the reins and looked at the female mage in front of her with a face of sweat, it was obvious that sweating in such a cold environment was not a normal reaction.
"Are you alright?"
Leilith propped herself up and nodded, "No problem, where are we now?"
"It only takes a day to get out of the forest, and then it's safe to go. After knowing that the female mage in front of her had deceived her group, Maggie's attitude became a little colder.
Leilith nodded and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't know which mercenary group you were after you saved me." ”
Faced with this question, Maggie paused slightly, and before she could answer, a mercenary next to her had already leaned over and proudly preemptively said: "Beautiful Miss Mage, I don't know if you have heard of the most famous mercenary group in the Free City when you are silent in the wizarding world?"
Obviously, this mercenary probably wanted to win the favor of the female mage in front of him, and he still had a profound feeling in his words, but Leilith obviously didn't notice this: "The most famous mercenary group in the Free City?"
"It seems that you are too focused on the study of magic to hear about the outside world, miss. The mercenary shook his head helplessly, showed the badge of the mercenary group, and said: "Split-tooth battle axe! We have completed countless difficult tasks, and the most famous and powerful mercenary force in the free city is us!"
Leilith, who has a level 12 level at a young age, does spend most of her time studying and studying magic, but this does not mean that she does not accept the news of the outside world at all, and she still has a little hearing of the Splittooth Tomahawk Mercenary Group in the Free City, after all, such as killing the Abyss Multi-headed Lizard and killing the Berserk Cyclops, these powerful beings are all completed by their mercenary group, but compared to the Splittooth Tomahawk Mercenary Group itself, what impresses Leilith more is the leader of this mercenary group, the eternal champion of the Free City Arena- Gerkat Kassa!
After hearing the mercenary's self-introduction, Leilith involuntarily turned her head and looked at the man at the back of the group, if she remembered correctly, after she woke up, he did say that he was the leader of the team.
After noticing that Leilith turned her gaze to the leader at the end of the group, Maggie waved her hand at the mercenary who was talking to her with a 'you're out of play' expression and said, "It seems that our leader is more famous than the entire mercenary group." ”
The mercenary sighed softly and looked at Leilith and rode to the side, Leilith came back to her senses at this time and looked at Maggie with a little regret and said, "I'm sorry, I paid too much attention to magic research and didn't pay much attention to what happened in the outside world." ”
"It's okay, it seems that you at least know our leader. Maggie said with a nonchalant posture.
When it came to Gelkate, Leilith still said in disbelief: "Although I have heard rumors, I really didn't expect this legendary mercenary to be so young. ”
"Young!?" Maggie snorted and laughed, "Hahaha! Pretty much everyone who meets the leader for the first time says that, but do you know how old our leader is this year?"
"No┉┉I don't know. ”
Maggie patted Lelith's head and pointed to the strong man in front of her, Coman, and said, "How old do you think that big man is this year?"
Following the direction of Maggie's finger, Leilith looked at it and said, "It looks like I'm about 40 years old." ”
"That's right, but you know what?" Maggie said in a lower voice in Leilith's ear, "Koman, he became acquainted with the leader twenty years ago and became his subordinate. ”
Leilith turned to look at Maggie in surprise and said, "Twenty years ago!
"Our leader just looks young on the outside, but in fact he is 36 years old this year. ”
"What!? Leilith grinned, an expression of incredulity.
"Alas~ Don't talk about you, if it weren't for the fact that Coman had followed the leader from a long time ago, it would have been proved, or even none of our subordinates would have believed it. ”
"Isn't Gelkite human?" Probably the mysterious man she met in the Arnold Mountains before left a little shadow on Leilith's psyche, and she asked with some fear at this moment, although there are some big nobles and rich people who can look young for this under the luxury of beauty and maintenance, but Gelkite obviously does not look like this type of person, either he is gifted or he is not human at all in blood, just like Princess Luo Jie'an's 'Silver Snow' bloodline.
"Who knows?" The dark-skinned mercenary sighed, with a rare hint of tenderness in her eyes, and looked at Gerkett in the distance and said: "Everyone has guessed sometimes, but the leader never said that we didn't dare to ask him, and over time, except for those mercenary groups and organizations that opposed us, no one wanted to ask about the identity of the leader, for us, as long as he still led us to victory, he will always be the leader of the Splittooth Tomahawk, not only our mercenary group, but also the entire free city has also formed this tacit understanding." ”
"Formed a tacit understanding┉┉" I didn't expect Gelkite to have so many mysterious deeds, and Leilith softly savored the last bit of meaning of this sentence.
"You know what, Leilith, it's not a good thing for us mercenaries to be too famous in this profession. Maggie said abruptly.
"Is it? What's wrong with being famous, you can get more commissions?" asked Leilith, a little puzzled.
Maggie smiled lightly and said to Lylith with a rookie look, "It is precisely because the Splittooth Tomahawk is so famous that many other mercenary groups regard us as the first target to be eliminated. ”
"How can this be?" Lelith whispered with some surprise, because the rumors about the Splittooth Tomahawk Mercenary Group that she usually came into contact with were all about the mercenary group and the leader of the mercenary group, Gelket, boasting that they were as invincible as gods, and that the mercenary group that could call for wind and rain in the Free City, and the elite warriors who could be one against the hundred, as long as they shouted, the entire mercenary group in the Free City would circle around the Cracktooth Tomahawk.
When Leilith told the rumors she usually heard, Maggie laughed and said: "I mage Miss Mage, you are almost the same idea as those rookies who have just joined our mercenary group, let me tell you the truth, the Split Tooth Tomahawk is indeed the most famous mercenary group in Free City, but because we are so famous, other mercenary groups regard us as a thorn in the side in order to become famous in one fell swoop┉┉"
"Think about it, if you can find an opportunity to annihilate the most famous Split-Tooth Tomahawk mercenary group in one fell swoop, as long as it spreads, what a huge honor it will be, the mercenary group that is usually afraid of our strength in the Free City does nod when they see us, but once they leave the Free City, these mercenary groups are polite to us on the surface, and secretly hope to find an opportunity to eliminate us, and we have died to achieve their fame. ”
Quite here Leilith also understands Maggie's thoughts, it is true that people are greedy, not to mention the profession of mercenary, in fact, there are many mercenaries in the entire continent who play the role of mercenaries and robbers at the same time, but there are also unions in the free city that specialize in managing mercenaries, in order to prevent some robbers and bandits from infiltrating the free city under the banner of mercenaries and using this place as a safe haven.
"Isn't there a mercenary union in Free City? don't they regulate these behaviors?"
"Mercenary Guild?" said Maggie, as if she had heard the funniest joke, " You are too naïve, the mercenary union only accepts part of the commission and issues entrusted tasks, and provides material supplies and information on the situation on the continent and then takes a cut of it, and the disputes between mercenary groups will occasionally be managed by the union, but basically the same as nothing, free city is a place where the weak eat the strong, if we win, then the sneak attack and the mercenary group that made us bad will naturally not escape the punishment of huge fines, eternal expulsion and even death, but if we are unfortunately wiped out by the other party, then the mercenary union will not waste time and energy for the loser who has lost its strength。 ”
Maggie paused slightly, her expression became subtle, and she continued: "In fact, the only thing the union has to manage is the attacks of some unscrupulous mercenaries against the national caravans and towns, after all, as the only self-controlled and neutral free city on the mainland, even if the rich country has a huge influence on the countries of the continent economically, the free city does not want to become the target of the public." ”
“┉┉┉┉”
"Hehe, Maggie, you're right, Free City has power and wealth, but these two forces are never enough to match the most primitive power in the world┉┉" As Leilith was speechless, Gerkate suddenly rode to the two of them.
"Oh! Chief. ”
“┉┉”
Maggie hurriedly said hello, and Leilith just looked at Gerkate meaningfully and didn't say anything, Gerkite also glanced at Leilith and lowered her voice and said, "Violence!"
If Yarin is also present, then he will definitely applaud and support Gelkate's insight!
"Whether it is a supreme king or a wealthy merchant, he will die like an ordinary person in the face of overwhelming violence, and even if he occupies most of the wealth on the continent, the free city does not dare to openly stand in opposition to all kings. Clever businessmen know how to hide themselves in inconspicuous corners to avoid the eyes of the world, lure others with money to work for their own interests, and then slowly erode behind like moths."
"Don't you like the greedy merchants of Free City, too?" asked Leilith cautiously as Gerkite replied.
Gelkite tilted his head and said with a cynical look: "No, no, no, no, Miss Mage, there is nothing wrong with the fact that it is natural for businessmen to pursue profits, we are mercenaries who collect money to do things according to our standards, in contrast┉┉"
As she spoke, Gelkite suddenly jerked down and looked at the sky behind her, and Maggie was surprised to find that the leader, who usually maintained a relaxed expression, showed a confused expression for the first time, and Leilith also looked behind her uneasily according to Gelkate's eyes, but there was nothing but falling snow.
"This is really interesting!" Gelkite yelled at the marching mercenaries with a slightly nervous but inexplicable look of excitement on his face, "pay attention to the little ones, get ready for battle, and there will be guests coming later." ”
