Chapter 13: The Depths of the Cursed Mine

Edge's worries became unnecessary.

When he returned to the squad, the Captain of the Soldier and the rest of the team had no time to care about where he had gone last night. They were already busy assisting the mercenary group in hunting down the murderer who killed the three mercenaries last night. And the leader of the mercenary group insisted that Orwell, who had escaped, was the murderer who killed the three mercenaries.

Judging from the deaths of the three mercenaries, they were all killed by sharp weapons that instantly cut their throats. The leader of the mercenary group had seen Orwell's skills, and Orwell fought with a sharp sword. And last night, when he escaped, he was also pursued by those three mercenaries. With such speculation, the idiot would know that it was Orwell who had killed him.

Besides, in such a small place as the town of Obel Stone, where there are so many people, no one dares to kill a mercenary so boldly. Any movement of the people of the town can be found out with a single look.

Under the resolute opinion of the leader of the mercenary group, Aiji was naturally not suspected. However, as a member of the squad, he was immediately sent by the captain of the soldiers to hunt down Orwell with the rest of the men. He obeyed the orders of the captain of the soldiers, but he unconsciously felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.

From the very beginning, he had the feeling that he didn't feel like he belonged in the squad.

Such a squad was not the army he had envisioned, and he always felt that it lacked the taste of blood and iron. He wasn't too ambitious, and felt that the squad was too humble to give him a chance to develop. He was in a state of confusion, as if he had ambitions and talents, but there was no place for them.

Just rush out and destroy the enemy? A person's abilities are limited, and it is impossible to deal with the enemy on his own. Going with the squad? The squad is managed by the captain, who, although well-hearted, is subject to the rights of the landlord of the town. He didn't dare to break away from the landlord, otherwise the whole team would be without gold coins, food and other support, so it would be difficult to survive.

"Maybe we should go to a more regular army. "Aggie has already had that idea.

A regular army will not accept a soldier without doing anything. In the regular army, there will be a clear division, which will detect what kind of military class a new soldier should belong to, etc. For example, a new soldier will be tested by a professional officer for magic or martial arts, so as to decide whether to train him to become a mage soldier or a soldier class.

Of course, this is only for people who have not studied magic or martial arts. If a person is already a person who cultivates martial arts or magic, then it is natural for the army to classify them according to this.

Since arriving in Oberstone Town, the whole team has fallen into a state of getting by. The squad did not provoke landlords and mercenaries, nor did they think about dealing with the enemy. The captain of the soldier would just write something every day and let the magicians pass it on to the upper ranks. Every day passes in peace, and there are no superfluous movements worth thinking about and praising about.

Although the captain of the soldiers was very good, it had to be admitted that this squad was a vassal army, limited by the money of the landlords, to be exact.

Leaving seemed to be an inevitable choice. Although this deviation from the squad is very subjective, a great violation of military discipline, and very immoral, what Aggie wants is real blood and iron, and he wants a bigger stage, the stage of war!

He was on his way to hunt down Orwell, but of course he had no intention of pursuing Orwell. Orwell had already left, and at this time he must be some distance away from the town of Obelstone. As he ran, he pondered whether or not to leave, when suddenly he heard a shout.

"You guys who love to watch the excitement get out of the way! If you have time to get here, it's better to go back to bask in the sun, it's better to get your ass oiled, so that you don't have to complain that the dry steamed buns don't have any oil at all! That's right, just wipe your butts with steamed buns, hahaha~~~"

Hearing this, he stopped and looked up, and before he knew it, he had reached the entrance to the southern mine of Aniar.

The entrance to the mine is guarded by a group of mercenaries, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter. Aegie was standing not far away when he was glared at by two mercenaries. Seeing this, he didn't go any closer, and it was not a wise choice to anger these mercenaries. But he didn't leave, he didn't want to leave. Remember what Giroud said last night?

Moros Blade is in the depths of the mines!

This was predicted by Aurus, but he didn't come to look for it because he wanted to give birth to dragon eggs and avoid being chased by the Light Dragon.

Edge looked at the mine and pondered, Moros Blade must live. This is crucial. Giroud needs to use it as a vehicle to live in, and he also needs to gain his power to increase his strength. Moreover, if you want to leave the squad and join the regular army, strong strength is the best guarantee.

"You, long-haired boy, come here!" but as he pondered, there was a sudden loud shout behind him.

He knew that the shouting was referring to him, and he turned to see what was going on.

It was a bearded mercenary with short hair, and he had dark bags under his eyes, probably because he had stayed up all night and lacked energy.

"What's the matter?" Edges walked over, undaunted, and if the mercenary questioned him, he had a good reason to explain why he was here. However, he wondered why the mercenary suddenly stared at him, so he said, "Could it be ...... I'm breaking the law standing here and looking at it a few times, right?"

"Fart!" The bearded mercenary snorted suddenly, and said a few times: "What kind of law can you commit!" Lao Tzu is looking for you to do business, and I want to ask you if you want to earn a few gold coins to go to the hotel outside for a drink, and by the way, find a few beautiful girls to pinch your buttocks?"

Aiji was stunned, a little surprised, and a little speechless, what did this mercenary want to do? But until he figured out the situation, he didn't show his heart too much. These mercenaries have developed a habit of being irritable, and God knows if they will suddenly be unhappy.

Here, Edge doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. If you don't want to reveal your heart, you need to disguise a little, for which he deliberately sighed, acting as easy and stubborn as in the Forest of Orus, and said: "That's really a wonderful thing, you are the best mercenary brother I have ever seen!"

"Hmm~haha~" The bearded mercenary likes to listen to good words, haha laughed a few times, appreciated him a little, and said, "Let's go, come in with me!"

"Where?" Edge's stunned moment, things were moving so fast that he didn't understand what the bearded mercenary was trying to do.

The bearded mercenary got impatient and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, of course you have to go to the mines, otherwise where will you get the gold coins!"

It won't be that simple, that's Edge's first reaction. As far as he knew, the owner of the mine was a notoriously stingy landlord. If there were gold coins in the mining area, how could he let others take them for nothing?, but Aiji's eyes were a little cold, and he was thinking about something more profound.

This mercenary wants to take himself into the mines. This is a great opportunity to look for the Moros Blade by the way.

But the matter is still unknown, and if this mercenary has any conspiracy, it will be very bad for him. For this reason, he disguised himself again, smiled flatteringly like a little brother, and said to the mercenary: "Big brother, you should say it clearly." In this situation, the younger brother doesn't expect to have gold coins, and he will be content if he can eat together. ”

He pretended to be very honest, but he was actually an old man in his heart.

The bearded mercenary thought that he was good, and after a big sigh, he said, "You kid is quite clever and knows how to speak. In that case, I might as well tell you directly, so that you can be mentally prepared. ”

"We got gold coins when we went in, but it was a matter of luck. The day before yesterday, several brothers died in the depths of the mining area, probably poisoned by something. We're going to dispose of their bodies now, and if they have gold on them, the gold will be ours. ”

When Aegie heard his words, it immediately became clear that this guy wanted to take the money of the dead! Since there was no other conspiracy, he could follow him into the mine. As for what he will do after entering the mine, it is not the mercenary's turn to decide.

However, in order for the mercenary to see something, he pretended to hum: "Big brother, are you going to take the money of the dead?"

It's a bit unreasonable to take all the money of the dead, or the brothers in the mercenary group.

"!" but the bearded mercenary was angry and shouted, "Haven't you heard that the depths of the mine are cursed places? I heard that there are monsters there who like to eat people, and ordinary people can't even get close to them! What's the point of taking a little money?"

"And you dare to go in?" said Edge, who was a little surprised at him. Since there are monsters, it is a cursed place, how can this mercenary dare to go in, and really ask for money and not his life?

"You still have so many concerns?" the bearded mercenary knew what he was surprised about, it was nothing more than knowing that the depths of the mine were cursed places and entering it, not looking for death. But he saw it very openly, and said to Age: "This world has been so cruel to us, it is not our turn to worry! If you want to live, you must be conscious! Even if it is death!"

Edge stopped talking.

He felt the words of the bearded mercenary. The country is getting more and more chaotic, the reality is getting more and more cruel, and how many people are struggling to survive. Life is not as difficult as survival, and survival is the consciousness that we must be prepared to die at all times!

What a great misfortune that to this day there is not a single hero who has been able to save the country.

Go ahead!

Edge shook her head and didn't think about it so much, now you must get the Moros Blade, become stronger, and then defect to the regular army. This country is going to have a real fight of blood and iron.
