Volume 2 The Messenger of the Two Clans Chapter 62 Bloodstains
The steps taken forward couldn't help but be retracted, perhaps too surprised, and for a while Yi Fan didn't know what kind of expression to face the two people who were walking here.
It's too fast, even if it's my students, if they show this level of strength, it's hard for me to be happy! Just like the complicated feelings of every teacher when teaching excellent students, Yi Fan's heart surged with all kinds of strange thoughts for a while, although those thoughts didn't make any sense.
"So fast?" Yi Fan finally turned around and asked his question with true emotion.
Then he saw two figures who also had complicated feelings and slowly walked towards this side.
"What's wrong?"
The voice he heard before didn't look like a fake, and the excitement in that tone definitely wasn't something disguised, but Yi Fan felt that there was something hidden in it.
"The enemy is not just a junior martial artist, right?" it was Oselli who spoke first, and there was no anger in her tone, but Yi Fan always felt that she wanted to say something.
"Huh?" pretending to be puzzled, Yi Fan would not admit what he had done.
"Okay. Oselli sighed, then continued, "I told Roger before the battle began, and the two guys who had reached the junior level of martial arts were the ones who needed special attention among the enemies. Even though there's nothing wrong with what you've told me, I still think it's perfect to have all the information you need beforehand, even in real combat. ”
This is the opinion of one teacher to another, only on the way of teaching, although there is no so-called right and wrong, but it is undeniable that it is also a protest against Yi Fan's slightly rough teaching method, although the latter has not been conscious of being or becoming a teacher at all.
"You're right, but I'm more concerned about why you were able to do so quickly than I apologized to you. Speaking of this, Yi Fan turned to look at Roger, "Can you tell me?" Roger, to be honest, I don't think you have the strength to quickly solve those five people. ”
Roger used to be just a young man who couldn't even pass the junior martial arts exam, not to mention that his teacher was now Oselli, who was a magician, not Saber, so the improvement of his strength was naturally very limited - at least in Yi Fan's opinion, it was indeed very limited.
"Well, if you really want to say it, it's probably a skill. Roger grinned, "Of course, all those techniques were taught to me by Teacher Oselli......
As if to retaliate for Yi Fan not accepting himself as a student, what kind of skill is the specific, Roger did not elaborate, but deliberately when he said the key point, his tone suddenly changed and he talked about other things.
"By the way, Lord Yi Fan, those thieves just now, after seeing the appearance of the Divine Envoy, there seemed to be some strange expressions on their faces, as if they had already known you. Looking at Yi Fan's expression that he wanted to know but was embarrassed to say, Roger, who was full of contemplation, talked about what happened in the short battle just now.
"Know me, how is it possible, I'm ...... for the first time" Speaking of this, Yi Fan withdrew the following words back into his stomach, although he believed Roger to a certain extent, but about his identity as an elven divine envoy, it was naturally better to cover it up for a while as much as possible.
After all, in the eyes of Roger and the previous Brown, he should belong to Princess Caroline's subordinates, after all, the appearance of humans makes it difficult to associate themselves with the elf race to a large extent.
"What about the thieves?" retracting the thoughts in his mind, Yi Fan continued to ask Roger.
"Fled. The answer was very lighthearted, without the slightest hint of shame.
"What!"
"There's no way, with my strength alone, it's already very difficult to defeat them, after all, it's a real battle. "It's still very relaxed, without the slightest shame, and when you look at it, it looks like a matter of course.
"That's right, and like Yi Fan, didn't you deliberately make it more difficult for Roger before the battle began?" Oselle's words were inserted at the right time, as if she wanted to make Yi Fan uncomfortable.
Hey, is it true that he is still not good at bickering or something? Touching his lips, Yi Fan's face was a little helpless, and then he turned around and continued to walk towards the caravan.
If you really want to talk about what you have to do with the human world, if you think about it seriously, it's probably only the guy named Rabid Dog I met before I went to Antola for the first time, and it seems that there was a guy who escaped at the time, Dior, who has been doing things for me for so long.
Speaking of which, that guy called Rabid Dog, seems to be the deputy leader of some bloodstained mercenary group, and when I think about it, I still seem to have a lot of enemies in the human world - but, unlike when I was in trouble when I first fought with Rabid Dogs, I am now countless times stronger!
Thinking of the jungle where Saber was summoned for the first time, and the first battle he encountered after coming to another world, Yi Fan's face couldn't help but show a trace of nostalgia.
That is the so-called real battle, unconsciously, it has been a few months since I came to this world, and now, I have also left the elven forest and come to the world that belongs to humans, mainly human beings.
......
Casaan, a small town on the road from Kulo to the Imperial Capital, looks a bit depressed because it is not on a traffic artery.
In addition to two drunken and yawning soldiers, one or two foraging rats can occasionally be seen in the ruined city guardhouse, but they may not find anything to eat, and the rats will not stay here for long.
The depressed towns did not have much tax revenue, which naturally meant that there was no oil or water for the officials, so although Casahn still had a town establishment in name, in this small town, except for a few inhabitants, in fact there was not even a single imperial official.
If you look closely, you'll see that the two yawning soldiers from before them have tattoos on their necks or arms that resemble skeletons or naked women—yes, the person dressed as a soldier is not a soldier, but another profession called a thief.
For the same reasons as the officials, the Empire naturally did not place important forces in such a place - whether it was the battle between the internal lords, or what was happening on the northern frontier of the Empire, it was difficult for the upper echelons of the Empire to notice such a place.
However, such a place is a good place for those who are not small to use as a base for them, so it is only natural that Casaan has become the headquarters of choice for many bandit groups in the vicinity.
......
It didn't look like a luxurious building, and if you looked closely, it seemed to be a little dilapidated, but just outside the building, there was a flag with a crimson logo fluttering, and on the wall below the flag, similar to the Adventurers' Guild bulletin board, there were several chapters of notices pasted on it.
And one of the most conspicuous notices, in addition to a simple text introduction, there is also a portrait of a person, although there is no superb photography or painting technology on the earth, but if Yi Fan is here, he will easily recognize that the image painted on it is himself.
This is the headquarters of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group, no, seriously, when several of the backbone members of the Mercenary Regiment were killed by Yi Fan, this place should be called the Bloodstained Thieves Group, after all, in a world where strength is respected, the tiger that has lost its fangs can only become the food of the hyena in addition to choosing to become the companion of the hyena.
However, although it is said to be the headquarters, because it has been really defeated, and there are still several powerful forces in the town, it doesn't seem to be as noisy as imagined, and even outside the bulletin board, there are only occasionally one or two members of the thief group standing there - because it used to be a mercenary group, so some old members of the group still maintain this habit.
......
Ford glanced at several missions on the billboard and couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, most of them were missions to escort or exterminate monsters, and even if there were occasional assassination missions, they were all acceptable to mercenaries, but now, except for looting and looting, it seems that there is nothing else to be seen - except for that one.
Ford couldn't help but look at the portrait again, it was the man on it who killed the rabid deputy commander and the others, so the entire mercenary group was defeated to this extent?
Five hundred gold coins, killing this person can indeed get a lot of wealth, but if you can kill a rabid guy, this kind of task has nothing to do with me, right?
Shaking his head, Ford withdrew his gaze, after all, he would be hungry for the next week without looking for something in the village near town.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the distance, and Ford subconsciously looked up in the direction where the voice came from - this is a habit he has developed as a mercenary, and Ford thinks that even those disguised soldiers selected by the thieves group to be responsible for guarding will definitely not have more vigilance than himself.
Soon, several figures appeared in Ford's eyes, five thieves who looked embarrassed, riding horses and rushing madly towards this side.
Although they looked like they had been repaired not long ago, they all had an excited look on their faces, as if they had seen something terrible.
Could it be that something big is about to happen? Ford couldn't help but glance at the portrait again, and a strange thought suddenly welled up in his heart......
