Chapter 4: The First Cup of Wine (4)
Under the protection of this magic item, as long as Carlos's consciousness is still clear, he can release the magic contained in the ring before others hit him, and with the protection of this magic, it is almost impossible for others to sneak attack him.
So these two people can only endure for the time being, and on the surface they can't help Carlos. And compared to the background, the two of them can't be compared with Carlos, who was born in the aristocracy, so after suffering this loss, the two can only swallow it like this, unless they can be promoted to the ranks of high-level magicians before Carlos, otherwise, they can only curse a few times in their hearts.
"Well, it's quieter now, can you tell me who is so bold?" Carlos said to Duke in a kind tone, if it weren't for the scene before him, others would have thought that this young Carlos must have been a well-mannered nobleman.
When Duke saw Carlos asking, he didn't care about waiting for the arrival of the Eden team, and said directly: "Someone beat Charley and his party here, and they are still unconscious." ”
"Oh, is that Charlie stupid?" Carlos said disdainfully, "This lewd fellow knows how to cause trouble everywhere, why didn't he beat him to death?"
"Commander, Charlie has woken up. The two mercenaries came to Duke and Carlos with Charlie in their arms, and followed by a man in a priest's robe behind the three of them and said with a flat expression: "The other party didn't do anything ruthlessly, just taught him a lesson, and he will be fine if he lies down for a few days." ”
Charlie raised his head slightly, his forehead was stained with blood, and when he saw Duke standing in front of him, he opened his mouth with two missing front teeth and said, "Commander, I, I, you want to avenge me!"
"Who did that?"
"Commander, it's that group of strangers over there. ”
Under Charley's identification, Duke and Carlos saw Ryan and his party sitting there, Duke saw Allendo at first sight, he instinctively felt that this young man who was only wearing ordinary adventurer clothes was very difficult to mess with, and Carlos saw Faras looking at Ryan stupidly at a glance.
"The god of wisdom is above, what do I see!" Carlos said in a aristocratic sigh, "that is my goddess, that is the scorching flame, she warms my eyes, she loses my heart." ”
"Alright, Carlos. Duke was very dissatisfied with Carlos's performance, he interrupted Carlos's rhyming poetry, and said directly: "Kill all the men, and you can take the women back at night." ”
"No, such a beautiful person, if you use force, it will be too bad for the scenery, right?" Carlos rejected Duke's proposal, and he continued his rhyme poem: "Your beauty is as bright as the sun, shining on the earth and on me, the world ......"
Duke frowned, he ignored Carlos's tirade, and asked Charlie carefully, "What is the opponent's class match, what are the characteristics, who made you ...... like this?"
Under Duke's questioning, Charlie stammered and told the situation of the fight just now, and also deliberately added fuel and vinegar to explain how the other party did not take the Double Axe Mercenary Group in his eyes, and the opponent simply came to Seabreeze City to rob the business of the Double Axe Mercenary Group.
Duke asked a few words repeatedly, and found that the other party was only two mercenaries, and the remaining few people didn't stand up at all, which also made him have a trace of vigilance in his heart, at least these people in front of him are by no means incompetent, and they actually continued to drink after beating Charlie and his party, which is either blind and arrogant, or they don't take themselves to heart at all.
"Commander, do you want to clear the field?" said a mercenary, "Why don't I take a few people and invite everyone else out." ”
"Get out!" Duke slapped the mercenary back with a twist. Isn't this a joke, in addition to the Wind Mercenary Group, the Sword and Rose Mercenary Group, there are people sitting in the bar in the 19 mercenary groups of all sizes in Seabreeze City, and you have directly offended all the mercenary groups in this clearance, and with the strength of the Double Axe Mercenary Group, if you have to use the clearing field to go all out against a few people from other countries, then starting tomorrow, no one will listen to Duke's words at the docks.
"You two!" Duke became more and more irritable the more he thought about it, he turned his head directly to look at Humphrey and Edwin who were standing far behind him, and pointed in the direction of Ryan with his hand and said in a deep voice, "You go and pick a few subordinates and teach them a hard lesson." You two mid-level mages are sure to take advantage of your opponents, two junior mages, and El Salvador......"
At this point, Duke pointed his hand at the pastor who was treating Charlie: "You go too, and the other party's pastor will be handed over to you." There are 8 of them, and we don't need to bully more than less, this battle has to be fought for those who are sitting there, you can win beautifully. ”
The priest named Salvador said lazily, "You give me 20 gold coins a day, but you are only responsible for treating the wounded, and you didn't say that you want me to go up and fight myself......?"
Duke went straight past El Salvador's bargain and said to him, "100 gold coins, plus 100 if you win." ”
Salvatore nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking, while Humphrey and Edwin went to choose their own people, they had suffered a little loss from Carlos' sneak attack before, and their status in the mercenary group naturally dropped a lot, just to make up for the battle in front of them.
Ryan took a big sip of water from the glass in front of him, he finally figured out the problem that plagued him last night, all the magic arrays can theoretically be fully operational, of course, what the actual situation is, we will not know until I return to the hotel in the evening.
Faras pursed her lips and smiled and pushed a large plate of barbecue in front of her in front of Ryan, and said, "Done thinking? ”
Before Ryan could speak, he smelled the smell of barbecue, he moved his index finger, directly picked up a large piece of barbecue, and was about to send it to his mouth, when he suddenly remembered something, and said to Franna, "Have you all ordered something to eat?"
Flanner drank the juice, shrugged his shoulders towards Ryan, and replied, "Only you haven't eaten, my captain." That barbecue was specially ordered for you by Farah, and it has been there for a long time, if you feel cold, I will call someone to heat it up again?"
"That's good. Ryan agreed, took a bite of the barbecue, chewed slowly in his mouth, and said while eating, "It's okay, it's not cold." And if it's an adventure out there, there's so much more to ......."
Before Ryan could finish his words, he heard a voice next to him: "You damn guys, you actually beat Charlie like that!"
The 8 members of the Ryan mercenary group looked up together and followed the sound, but saw a dozen mercenaries with two cross axes on their chests walking towards them, and when these dozen mercenaries came to a distance of about 5 meters from the table where Ryan was sitting around, they suddenly separated, revealing the two magicians behind them.
Ryan took a closer look at the two magicians and saw that they were both wearing intermediate mage's robes, one of them wearing a small flame insignia on his chest, while the other was wearing a emblem of a drop of water. The mid-level magician with the flame insignia on his chest waved the magic wand in his hand and said to Ryan, "You surrender all your belongings, and then cut off one of your hands, and you can go." ”
Ryan turned his head in surprise to look at Faras, who was sitting beside him, and the latter whispered in his ear, "Didn't a few people come to tease me just now? ”
Ryan nodded slightly, and said in a surprised tone, "This is so ...... If I hadn't been here before, I would have thought I was in the wrong place. In Seabreeze City, you dare to rob blatantly?"
Humphrey, who was wearing the flame insignia, spoke twice, but saw that Ryan and his party didn't pay attention to him at all, the two junior magicians whispered to themselves, and the two people who injured Charley were full of eagerness, which made Humphrey, who had always been arrogant, very angry, he waved his hand to let the men behind him step forward, and said viciously: "Hit me!" ”
"Ahh However, Ryan and the others were still sitting there, not caring at all, as if this group of mercenaries did not exist.
Seeing that the weapons in the hands of these mercenary groups were about to be cut down on themselves, Ryan whispered: "Don't kill anyone." As soon as he finished speaking, Colin and Thomas struck, one of them pulling the bowstring and firing three arrows in succession, while the other, with his crossbow in his hand, was flat, and shot straight at the stubby bolt.
Colin's three arrows hit three mercenaries at the front, instantly defusing their threat to Ryan and the others, and Thomas's crossbow was even more powerful, the stubby crossbow arrow directly pierced the shoulder of one mercenary and pierced deep into the chest of another mercenary behind him.
The screams rang out again and again, and as soon as the two people on the side of the Ryan mercenaries made a move, the five mercenaries of the Double Axe Mercenary Regiment lost their combat effectiveness. Colin and Thomas's experience in fighting was very rich, and as soon as they struck a blow, they immediately put down their bows and crossbows, and reached for their melee weapons.
Colin had two daggers in his hands, and his wrists shook nimbly, allowing them to fly up and down to the point of his opponent's attack, while Thomas's weapon was a scimitar, which slashed through strange trajectories from time to time, making the mercenaries of the two-axe mercenary group who were enemies of him scramble.
